Chapter 1458: Stranded (1/2)

In the Domain of Heaven Span.

Controlling the floating continent, the Ripper Behemoth instinctively chased after the powerful outsiders and Ancientspirits, and managed to kill many of them.

Not many Ancientspirits and outsiders had died during their battles against the humans in the Domain of Heaven Span. However, a large number of them ended up being devoured by the Ripper Behemoth.

Gradually, the Ripper Behemoth couldn’t locate any new sources of flesh power that interested it anymore.

It grew more and more famished.

Every time it awakened, it would take control of the floating continent with its flesh aura sea and conduct a session of frenzied feeding.

This time, it had already devoured two outsider grand monarchs, more than a dozen grand patriarchs, and numerous Ancientspirits, yet it was far from being full.

The flesh power it had obtained from them couldn’t meet its need, which led to the awakening of another instinct: devouring realms.

This would spur it to destroy realms, devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth they contained, and convert it into the power it needed.

Now, it gradually lost its sanity.

The Realm of Common Heaven had been a resourceful realm that belonged to Shang Li.

However, during Pei Qiqi’s battle against Grand Monarch Remote Demon, she had severed a fourth of its land with her Space Boundaries Crystal.

All of Shang Li’s loyal followers that had lived there had long since evacuated.

Now, the floating continent reached the Realm of Common Heaven.

The Ripper Behemoth’s bellow rumbled from the floating continent as a sea of rolling gray mist spread towards the Realm of Common Heaven.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The spiritual energy that filled every corner of the Realm of Common Heaven was rapidly devoured.

Lands shook and mountains were rocked in every part of the realm.

Due to the drastic loss of energy, mountains toppled, lakes ran dry, and chasms ripped through the earth. Flowers, grass, and trees withered. Large spirit beasts reared by Shang Li’s subordinates wailed in despair before being pulled into the sea of gray mist by a mysterious power.

CRACK!

The Realm of Common Heaven snapped like a cookie.

Pieces of it drifted into the distant starry river.

It wasn’t long before the Realm of Common Heaven, which Chu Yuan had assigned to Shang Li, was drained of its spiritual energy and life force, and all its spirit beasts sucked into the floating continent with the sea of gray mist.

Then, the floating continent slowly flew away from the Realm of Common Heaven, which was now nothing but broken lifeless pieces that drifted in the starry river.

...

In the headquarters of the Heaven Span Pavilion.

Fan Tianze, Chu Rui, Ye Wenhan, and many others frowned in worry after hearing the latest news.

“The... the Realm of Common Heaven was...” One of Shang Li’s subordinates said haltingly, as if he was going to complain.

“Enough,” Fan Tianze said coldly. He waved his hand at the man. “You may leave now. Tell Shang Li that we’ve been informed of the destruction of the Realm of Common Heaven, and tell him not to act rashly before we make our decision.”

“Yes, patriarch.” The man left obediently.

Powerful experts from the four great sects gathered in the great hall, along with Divine Sons and Daughters and Sons of the Stars like Dou Tianchen.

“Where’s Xuan Guangyu?” Chu Rui asked.

Ji Yuanquan, who was also from the Void Spirit Society, smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know. I thought he would come here after retreating from the floating continent, but clearly, he didn’t. I asked our sect elders, and they said he didn’t return to our sect either. He seems to have disappeared with Shangguan Zhi, Duan Hongwen, and Song Chequan.”

“He did this!” Fan Tianze spat. “Sure, the Ancientspirits and outsider grand monarchs suffered a heavy blow, but so what? Now, all of the Ancientspirit and outsider invaders have pulled out of the Domain of Heaven Span.

“Driven mad by hunger, the Ripper Behemoth has activated another instinct that was branded in its bloodline, and started draining realms of their energy to ease its sense of hunger.

“Who’s going to stop it now?”

The crowd of human experts in the great hall fell silent.

Perhaps they would have harbored the hope of defeating the Ripper Behemoth before witnessing its devastating power. However, now that they had seen it single-handedly crush the invading Ancientspirits and outsiders, they didn’t dare to think that anymore.

Ye Wenhan let out a sigh and said, “I remember that the mere aura of a dead Star Behemoth plunged many races into senseless killing in the Shatter Battlefield. What we’re facing now is a living Star Behemoth... that has entered a frenzied state.”
