"You..."
'Kong', who was in a state of imminent death, felt his mind shake and his anger surge upon hearing this.
However, he was incapable of any counterattack, but his blood sprayed out even more extravagantly...
"Damn it! Don't splash on me..."
Chen Shu executed a tactical backward jump, muttering, "This is truly bad luck!"
"..."
Kong opened his mouth to say something, but he could no longer utter any sound.
Despite this, he persisted in moving his lips, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.
"Inspiring. Even in this state, he still wants to speak..."
Chen Shu remarked with emotion, giving a thumbs-up.
"..."
Kong's expression was ferocious, and he still wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly froze. Then, his body burst apart with a roar, scattering into dust and debris.
A top-tier space beast tamer had died more completely than dead.
"Heaven-defying... truly heaven-defying..."
Chen Shu shook his head, truly not expecting this turn of events.
He had thought the opponent would merely fail in his ascension to legendary status, but he hadn't anticipated a self-detonation...
If Kong hadn't taken shortcuts and cultivated diligently, a King-level space beast tamer could have lived a very comfortable life, even in chaotic times.
Whether it was Huaguo or ferocious beasts, they would have had no good way to deal with him.
But unfortunately, he pursued the ultimate realm too ardently, and ended up killing himself...
Xie Fengyu gazed at the bloodied fragments ahead and sighed, "Chen Pi, what did that guy say before he died?"
"Probably some words of blessing."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "In this state, he still wanted to bless us. I'm truly moved to tears..."
"..."
Fang Si's lips twitched. You truly dared to say that...
As the three were chatting, a sudden change occurred ahead!
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's heart stirred, and he instinctively had a premonition, instantly looking ahead.
He saw that from the shattered remains of Kong, streaks of blood were slowly flowing, as if imbued with sentience, and began to converge towards the center.
"Blood of the Heavenly Mandate Ancient Kingdom?"
Chen Shu felt unease in his heart. As expected, he commanded his contracted spirit to unleash its skills, attempting to destroy it.
*Boom!*
Erha spewed out various lightning and flames, but they couldn't harm it in the slightest.
"Damn it, this damn thing!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, bringing the other two to a hundred meters away.
Although it was not a living creature, it exerted considerable pressure on Chen Shu, as it was the very thing that had caused a peak King-level beast tamer to self-detonate.
In a short while,
All of Kong's blood converged, constantly merging.
Finally, a drop of pale golden blood appeared, exuding an ancient and astonishingly terrifying aura!
"!"
Chen Shu's pupils contracted. He instinctively wanted to have his rabbit unleash its divine skill and leave this place.
But at this moment, the rabbit showed no response.
He was at the realm of Human-Spirit Unity, but he felt as though his four contracted spirits had been disconnected, all unresponsive.
Chen Shu's heart trembled, and he wanted to turn his head.
But he only felt his body turn stiff as if petrified, unable to move an inch.
With a glance from the corner of his eye, his heart was instantly filled with terror.
Both his contracted spirits, as well as Fang Si and Xie Fengyu, were all in a state of stasis.
Time and space around them were all halted by the blood before them!
"What the hell is this thing!"
Chen Shu's mind vibrated violently, and he couldn't help but recall the truth of Kong's death.
Perhaps it wasn't the blood that was problematic, but rather his body couldn't withstand such immense power...
At this moment, the blood was still flowing. Although it had no eyes, Chen Shu could sense that he was being watched.
For a moment, his entire body seemed to be seen through, as if he were naked.
The pale golden blood flowed, gazing into Chen Shu's soul, attempting to probe its secrets.
But in an instant, a brilliant starlight flashed across Chen Shu's eyes, simultaneously emitting an ancient and profound power!
The blood before him flowed wildly, as if facing a life-or-death crisis.
The space beside it suddenly cracked, preparing to escape into it.
But it was already too late!
A beam of starlight shot out from Chen Shu's right eye, instantly striking the blood.
*Roar!*
A roar of unwillingness erupted, but the blood possessed no power to resist and was instantly dissipated...
Concurrently,
The temporal and spatial stasis around them was also released, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Hmm? Chen Shu, what's wrong?"
Fang Si had recovered and looked at Chen Shu with concern.
In her perception, there had been no change in the blood from the shattered corpse,
But Chen Shu's forehead was suddenly covered in cold sweat.
"N-nothing..."
Chen Shu looked at their confused expressions and offered no explanation, simply wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
His mind had not been frozen, so he had witnessed everything!
"Is it my problem? Or the Star Relic?"
Seeing the starlight in his eyes, Chen Shu couldn't help but associate it with the Star Relic he controlled.
"Could it be the Immortal Star Spirit of the Star King..."
A flicker of thought appeared in his eyes as he recalled the ancient beast tamer, the Star King, who had created the Star Relic.
"Chen Pi, what are you thinking about? Don't you want these treasures?"
Just then, Fang Si's words interrupted Chen Shu's thoughts.
Looking at Chen Shu, she found him increasingly peculiar. Wasn't this guy the most fond of treasures?
"Want! Want! Check it out!"
Chen Shu nodded, directly having his rabbit begin a frantic sweep.
Although a shocking anomaly had occurred, that drop of pale golden blood had been completely annihilated and posed no further threat.
Chen Shu murmured, "The bloodline of the Heavenly Mandate Ancient Kingdom is also considered severed..."
Despite having destroyed such an extremely wicked organization, more confusion surfaced in his heart.
The world seemed not as simple as he had imagined...
"Never mind, at least it's a good thing."
Chen Shu shook his head. The power within his body had saved him twice, and for now, it posed no threat to him.
"As long as my strength increases, everything will become clear."
He stopped pondering and began to diligently inventory the resources in the treasury.
Although quite a few of the resources within had been looted by the church members, a substantial amount still remained.
A day later,
The three left the church treasury with smiles on their faces.
"Another five trillion! This is truly satisfying!"
Chen Shu's mouth curved upwards, his heart filled with extreme pleasure.
Everything else was fake; only the wealth in his hands was real!
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu did not linger, instead producing an enhanced nuclear bomb and, with the assistance of the rabbit's spatial divine skill, instantly took the two away from the location.
What was once only achievable by top-tier space beast tamers like Ning Bufan was now also within Chen Shu's capabilities.
"Going home!"
The three did not delay, riding their contracted spirits directly towards Huaguo...
