Chapter 333 - Devouring Heaven (1) (2/2)

If it was a universe, then Yan Zaizen should've been able to devour its essence just like the Non-Universe, just like the Yaoguai! But, he couldn't.

With eyes more brilliant than ever, he started to devour more carefully to ensure not a single ounce of essence was wasted. He even got into a meditative stance and started to ponder on the insights he gained.

The Yaoguai of death and destruction was traveling leisurely, roaring here and there, traveling freely unbeknownst of the parasite within its body. It was even unaware of the fact it was being followed, observed, and in danger!

The old captain on the skyship that resembled Esi's had narrowed eyes as he looked at the Yaoguai frolicking about.

”Is he really dead?” It had already been an hour, but there was no response from the young man who recklessly entered the belly of the beast. He was even speculating if there was a trick used, but with his cultivation base, not many tricks from a fifth-floor Heavenly Genesis junior could escape his eyes.

”Captain, should we subdue?” The first mate, the man who had addressed the old man several times before, spoke referring to the Yaoguai. If he was alone, perhaps the first mate's first instincts would've been to run, but with the old man here, what was a royal Yaoguai that equaled the ninth-floor? Therefore, he was worry-free.

The old captain didn't respond, but furrowed his brows. Soon after, a helpless sigh could be heard. ”Do it.”

Woosh!

Just as he said that, a grey-robed figure appeared out of thin air, as if it had been out of time. The old man's eyes turned to see the figure, and the figure looked towards the old man immediately in response. This caused the old man to feel his heart tremble slightly.

They were currently in a concealed state, but this figure could perfectly deduce his location and even notice his gaze. What's worse, he couldn't discern the figure's cultivation. At least, not its exact details.

However, he wasn't an old monster for nothing. ”A celestial?” As he said those words, the eyes masked behind a hood's shadow glowed brilliantly.

A Celestial wasn't some god or higher form of Heavenly Cultivation, but instead, another form of cultivation path relating towards essence. In much the same way that Phantasm, Soul Source, and Soul Faith Paths all stems from spirituality. Or, the Herculean and Fiendgod Path focuses on physicality.

It was the Celestial Path, but the only issue was that one needed the blood of a Celestial to cultivate it. There was even several regions ruled by these so-called Celestials.

This was why Celestials weren't as mystical in the Heavenly Origin Grounds as they were in the thirty-three heavens. However this was easily explained as Celestials were forbidden from entering the thirty-three heavens, so they were only found in the Heavenly Origin Grounds.

The grey-robed figure turned its gaze away, looking at the Yaoguai. The figure's bright eyes showed some confusion, and even some anxiety.

While this was happening, the Oneuli Empire's Skyship had reached the area where the grey-robed figure split into thousands of other figures. They had been there for a few minutes trying to figure out the direction.

”The person we were tracking split off into thousands of time signatures, trying to throw us off our path. We were careless when locking on,” Park Ji-Hu apologetically said. However, Yi Seo-Jun merely shrugged.

”We've already blocked the Non-Universe's connection to the Heavenly Origin Grounds within the Dusk Zone, so whoever they are wouldn't be able to sense any danger from our approach. This makes our job easier, as they will believe to have lost us and lower their guard further.” As Yi Seo-Jun said this, he pulled out a black stone that seemed to swirl with the essence of impurity. It was small, as small as a pebble, but it seemed capable of affecting all in the world!

If Yan Zaizen were to see this, his entire body would feel as if it had met its natural enemy.

The pebble shined with an inky, impure light. This light was all encompassing but it pointed towards a direction! South!

When the others saw this, even Park Ji-Hu, they took a step back on instinct alone. Only Yi Seo-Jun would dare to directly touch such a thing, but to anyone else, they'd likely die right then and there.

”We go south,” Yi Seo-Jun ordered. Beneath his calm gaze was a light filled with intense ambition and anticipation.
