1117: Chapter 1116 Dark Gold Meteorite, Stealing Life

There was no sword radiance tearing through space, only a faint ripple in space.

Yet this ripple miraculously cut into the edge of that "point," creating a brief resonance with it.

The next moment, Luo Xiu only felt his body lighten; the omnipresent, terrifying tearing force and sense of chaos vanished abruptly, replaced by a feeling of... emptiness, coolness, and a faint touch of stellar radiation.

His eyes brightened!

It was no longer the bizarre and chaotic turbulence, but the deep, serene starry sky, dotted with countless specks of light, some bright and some dim!

He had finally escaped that damned chaotic flow of time and space!

Luo Xiu staggered a step, barely steadying his figure, and found himself floating in a vast and boundless Void Realm.

Behind him, a faint space wrinkle that was rapidly closing slowly smoothed out like ripples on a water surface, finally disappearing from sight.

That was the "door" through which they had escaped, and also the final trace of the Ancient Battlefield and the chaotic flow of time and space.

Silence.

Only starlight fell silently, illuminating their broken bodies.

Luo Xiu slowly turned his head, looking at the deep starry sky behind him, where there was no longer any abnormality.

The Ancient Battlefield, the Spirit Emperor, that life-and-death struggle that was tragic to the extreme, seemed like nothing more than a distant and bloody nightmare.

But the dull pain in his chest, the cracks in his Dao foundation, and especially the half-head of white hair that might never return to black, were all silently telling of the reality and cruelty of that nightmare.

He closed his eyes, suppressing the complex emotions churning within his heart.

Now was not the time for sentimentality.

He sensed his condition; his injuries were barely stabilized, but his Origin was severely depleted. The portion of the gilded crystal's energy consumed was gone, while the rest was sealed deep within his body, requiring a long time and patient effort to be thoroughly refined and absorbed.

His combat power was only about thirty to forty percent of his peak, and it was extremely unstable.

The Four Demon Generals were even more on the verge of death; their Realm had fallen to the bottom, their Origin was severely damaged, and they were in urgent need of nourishment.

He must find a foothold as soon as possible, recover from his injuries, consolidate his Origin, and stop the damage to heal!

Luo Xiu's Divine Soul, like flowing mercury, silently swept across this unfamiliar Star Domain.

Soon, he locked onto a galaxy that was relatively close and radiated stable life and energy fluctuations.

Among them, a cerulean planet was particularly conspicuous; the vitality and Origin power it contained were like a lighthouse in this starry sky.

Without hesitation, a layer of dim escape light rose around Luo Xiu, wrapping up the Four Demon Generals who were almost in a coma, and he transformed into an inconspicuous dark golden meteor, speeding towards that cerulean planet.

At first, some creatures observing the starry sky at night did indeed notice the "meteor" that streaked across the horizon at high speed, trailing a dark red tail.

Some recorded this rare celestial phenomenon, others might have found inspiration from it, and ordinary people might have made wishes.

They regarded it as a gift or wonder from the Universe, even thinking it was some rare dark red meteorite.

But they did not know that before that "meteor" entered the planet's atmosphere, the existence within it had already quietly unleashed a Divine Ability.

Luo Xiu's Divine Thought had long since become like an invisible giant net, shrouding the entire planet. He did not sense any powerful aura that could pose a threat to him; the strongest was only at the Middle Stage of the fourth rank.

For him, who was in urgent need of "nutrients" to repair himself and restore his power, this was nothing short of a feast before a starving person.

As for the source of the feast... the strong prey on the weak, the supreme truth of the Universe.

The Dao of the gods and demons inherently combines creation and destruction, devouring and growth.

In a desperate situation where he was on the verge of collapse and his Dao path might be severed, the survival of the creatures on an unfamiliar planet could no longer stir much of a ripple in his heart.

Survival and recovery are above everything else.

The God-Demon Flame crashed toward the ground like a meteor, and in an instant, wails arose everywhere!

The originally vibrant cerulean planet began to fade in color at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The oceans lost their luster, the forests shed their verdant green, the grasslands withered, and the rivers stagnated.

Countless birds and beasts, flowers and trees, and even the intelligent creatures living on the continents and in the oceans, felt the stripping and passing of their most fundamental life essence at this moment!

It was not that their Physical Body disintegrated directly, but that their vitality, Soul essence, and even the planetary "spiritual energy" that supported their existence were forcibly extracted by an irresistible force!

Lower life forms instantly turned into withered husks, while higher intelligent creatures let out desperate wails, feeling their own weakness and aging, until their consciousness sank into eternal darkness.

Mountains and rivers lost their color, the earth groaned, and the vitality of the entire planet leaked out crazily like a punctured balloon!

Devastation!

A true, planetary-scale extinction of life!

Luo Xiu's figure crashed like a meteorite into the center of the largest continent on the planet, but he did not go deep underground; instead, he hovered a hundred feet above the ground.

His eyes were tightly closed, his white hair dancing wildly, and his broken Divine Demon body was like a bottomless black hole, crazily devouring the torrential life energy and planetary Origin gathering from all over the globe!

This power was complex and vast, carrying the fear, resentment, unwillingness, and other negative thoughts of countless creatures before their deaths.

But for Luo Xiu, who Cultivated the Divine Demon devouring Dao, these negative thoughts were merely minor Impurities, easily refined and purified by the God-Demon Flame.

Pure life essence and planetary Origin surged into his body, like sweet rain after a long drought, rapidly nourishing his dried-up Meridians, damaged internal organs, and cracked Dao foundation!

The dark golden mark on his chest grew slightly hot, guiding a portion of the more pure Origin power to attempt to repair the most fundamental life Origin and Lifespan lost due to the sacrifice.

Although his hair remained white, the ashen aura on his face finally faded away completely, replaced by a restrained and gradually recovering powerful aura.

The broken armor of gods and demons also began to slowly self-repair under the washing of life energy, with new dark golden patterns growing on the edges of the cracks.

At the same time, Luo Xiu did not forget the Four Demon Generals who were loyal and had almost burned up everything for him.

With a slight thought, he divided the purest and gentlest portion of life essence and the energy of that crystal core he had devoured from the planet into four streams, like four dark golden springs, injecting them into the bodies of the Four Demon Generals beside him.

This power was just a drop in the ocean for Luo Xiu at this moment, but for the Four Demon Generals whose cultivation had fallen to the second rank and whose Origin was almost exhausted, it was nothing short of a grace of rebirth!

"Mmm..." The Four Demon Generals let out a painful grunt almost simultaneously, which immediately turned into a comfortable moan.

Their dried-up demon bodies absorbed this homogeneous and pure power crazily like sponges!

Their weak demon Souls began to solidify, their broken demon bodies repaired rapidly, and their dried-up sea of Devilish Qi and blood surged again!

Their cultivation Realm, which had fallen to the second rank, began to rebound and climb at an astonishing speed!
