398: Retreat calmly

In the Void Realm, three divine lights—two black and one gold—like burning meteorites, plummeted towards the core of the Holy City with overwhelming fury!

Xiao Zhuo's eyes turned cold, reacting with lightning speed! He suddenly raised his hand, the two extremes crystal flew out and hovered before him, and he pointed a finger!

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, darkness, thick as a tangible night curtain, erupted from before him, rapidly spreading!

"sacred crystal! How could the sacred crystal fall into this fiend's hands?!"

"Source Master! You traitor who betrayed the Holy Realm!"

"Dilamon! My Lord will surely bring down divine punishment to purify you, a degenerate who colludes with heretics!"

The remaining God-Devil Kings in the arena instantly turned pale with fright!

They knew well what the Taboo Power driven by the sacred crystal meant—it was absolute annihilation!

Amidst curses and desperate roars, they fled frantically, trying to escape this all-consuming night curtain.

However, how could Xiao Zhuo allow these high-value targets to escape?

With a slight thought, the bizarre night curtain, twinkling with countless faint blue stars, suddenly expanded at an accelerated pace!

Like the gaping maw of an abyss, it instantly swallowed all King-grade existences!

Powerful beings, comparable to Immortal Kings of the Immortal-Demon Realm, struggled for only a few breaths within this taboo night curtain, then silently melted and annihilated like ice and snow thrown into boiling water.

Cold notification sounds continuously rang out in Xiao Zhuo's consciousness—Attribute Points received!

Having cleared out the small fry, Xiao Zhuo's offensive did not stop.

He remotely grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, and the boundless night curtain twisted and extended like a living creature, surging towards the three divine lights breaking through the air!

As the night curtain churned, it instantly condensed into three giant hands made of deep dark night, covering the sky and earth, reaching out to Akmond, Gers, and Labillio respectively!

The Three Gods, who had just returned to the Holy City, immediately saw Dilamon with a complex expression behind Xiao Zhuo, and their faces instantly turned ashen.

And when they witnessed Xiao Zhuo's ability to manipulate the sacred crystal so freely, transforming the Taboo Power into an extendable "night curtain," their shock was immeasurable!

This was by no means an overnight achievement! Even they, gods who had wielded the sacred crystal for hundreds of thousands of years in rotation, could not achieve such effortless control, as if it were an extension of their own arm!

"Dilamon! How deeply have you colluded with this fiend!" The three roared in their hearts, almost instantly concluding that Dilamon and this outsider had secretly plotted for many years, always scheming for the source radiance of the Void Holy Realm!

It's just... the Chaos oath binding the Five Gods was still in effect, so how did Dilamon avoid the backlash?

They never dreamed that Dilamon had not betrayed the oath—he had been ambushed by Xiao Zhuo and had his vital weakness seized, forcing him to submit, and he had never personally touched the source radiance from beginning to end.

At this moment, Dilamon, facing the man-eating, fierce gazes of the Three Gods, could only smile bitterly in his heart, but this was immediately replaced by a hint of ruthlessness.

Since he had chosen to submit to Xiao Zhuo and use his power to escape the Dark Realm, then he could only... apologize to these "old friends"!

With this thought, Dilamon no longer hesitated, raising his hand to unleash a destructive beam of light, over ten zhang thick, that tore through the Void Realm and fiercely blasted towards Labillio, the Black Dragon God, who was the fastest and at the forefront!

Labillio had just narrowly dodged the grasp of a giant night curtain claw, and caught off guard, he was severely struck on his left flesh wing by this long-prepared attack!

"Roar—!" The excruciating pain made Labillio let out an earth-shattering Dragon's roar, his tough Dragon wing's flesh and blood flew everywhere, instantly blasted open with a terrifying large hole!

"Dilamon! You damned traitor!" Labillio was enraged, his Dragon head held high, and the dark Dragon's breath brewing in his mouth erupted like a volcano, spewing down towards Xiao Zhuo and Dilamon's location with an aura of destruction!

Xiao Zhuo, however, merely waved his hand indifferently.

The night curtain surging around him rolled up as if alive, silently swallowing, decomposing, and dissolving the terrifying Dragon's breath, capable of instantly vaporizing stars, into nothingness, without even a ripple.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Zhuo had already reached a conclusion.

The taboo night curtain, controlled by the two extremes crystal, was enough to contend with these three gods!

If Dilamon could assist, it might be possible to wear them down one by one here.

However, Xiao Zhuo immediately extinguished this tempting thought.

To completely kill a Saint-Grade powerhouse, without overwhelming advantage or special means, would inevitably take a long time.

And he had no time to waste here!

The transaction with Blood Heaven must continue—without sufficient Luck support, even with a vast amount of Great Thousand World Origin, his zizai world at its current size couldn't even refine it!

He must advance to the Middle Thousand Worlds level to slowly digest what he had gained this time.

As for the share given to Blood Heaven?

Xiao Zhuo already had a plan: taking out one-tenth of the Origin would be enough to compensate for the Blood Demon Realm's losses and even have a surplus.

This was the limit.

Once the decision was made, Xiao Zhuo had no desire to prolong the fight!

With a thought, the taboo night curtain covering the heavens and earth suddenly contracted, instantly enveloping him and Dilamon into a deep black sphere.

The black sphere violently shook, soaring from the already Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) dome of the Holy Temple, pausing slightly in the Void Realm, then changing direction, transforming into an extremely thin black line that tore through space, instantly becoming a distant black dot!

The three giant night curtain hands, which were frantically attacking and entangling the Three Gods, also seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, transforming into streaks of black light, rapidly shrinking back, following the direction where the black line disappeared.

"Bastard! Don't even think about escaping!" The brown pupils in War God Gers's eyes instantly lit up with dazzling golden cross-shaped stars!

He roared and pointed fiercely at the Void Realm ahead where the black line had disappeared!

"Chi la—!"

A giant sacred sword, purely condensed from holy golden light and spanning ten thousand li, appeared out of thin air, carrying the power to judge all things, and fiercely slashed down towards the trajectory of the black line!

Attempting to cut it in half!

Xiao Zhuo, enveloped by the night curtain, his eyes turned cold, and jade blood instantly appeared in his palm!

Dark golden lightning patterns spread and lit up on the blade like a living creature!

"Slash!"

An extremely condensed dark golden blade glow, like a mark of creation, shot out from the black sphere, arriving later but striking first!

"Clang—!"

The ear-piercing clash of metal seemed to shatter the Void Realm!

The seemingly indestructible golden sacred sword was actually knocked askew by this dark golden blade glow!

And the black line, enveloping Xiao Zhuo and the other, took advantage of this gap, increasing its speed again, and completely disappeared into the depths of the vast Dark Realm.

How could Akmond and the Three Gods give up?

With roars, they transformed into three streaks of light tearing through the Void Realm, chasing relentlessly!

As for the collapsing Holy City below, those desperate wailing and praying believers amidst the crumbling buildings, they had no time to spare, and... they didn't care at all.

As the Origin of the Void Holy Realm completely disappeared, the faint blue light that originally permeated the boundary realm, used to resist the erosion of the Dark Realm's Taboo Power, quickly extinguished and dissipated like a candle in the wind.

Having lost its core support, this dilapidated inner world was as fragile as paper before the Dark Realm's taboo.

Thick, impenetrable black Qi, like sharks smelling blood, surged, permeated, and spread wildly from all directions, from every spatial rift!
