“Boom, boom, boom—!”
The tentacles, stretching for over a thousand meters, lashed out in every direction with astonishing destructive power. They held the strength of countless dead gathered over tens of thousands of years. The purest part had vanished with the destruction of that body, but the remaining mixed and chaotic power was actually even more terrifying, with even greater destructive force. Once fully unleashed, it had absolutely surpassed the level of an Eternal God!
Bexia kept dodging the Great Sage’s attacks by teleporting through space. Seizing an opening, he smashed his fist into one of the tentacles, and the entire thing instantly shattered under a terrifying force!
“Damn it!”
The Great Sage sensed the might of Bexia’s power and grew even more furious. At the same time, he extended even more tentacles and sent them attacking Bexia.
“Since you destroyed my body, then hand your body over to me!” The Great Sage gave a sinister laugh. After that brief contact, he had already sensed the strength of Bexia’s body. It wasn’t as powerful as the body he had condensed before, but it wasn’t far behind, either. Its greatest flaw was probably that the compatibility between flesh and soul couldn’t reach perfection!
“You’re completely insane!” Bexia halted and stared at the Great Sage, who looked like a monster. After all, the legends about the Great Sage in this world had once painted him as an extremely noble figure. In his current state, it was truly difficult to believe that he was the same Great Sage who had died for the sake of the people.
He looked more like a thoroughly deranged madman!
“Strange powers and chaotic spirits!”
Bexia clenched his fist, the veins on his hand bulging, and punched the tentacles sweeping toward him. The terrifying force obliterated all of them outright, blasting countless chunks of flesh into the air.
However, Bexia’s attack wasn’t very effective. The scattered flesh withered rapidly after hitting the ground, and the power of the blood within it was once again absorbed into the Great Sage monster’s body. Very little of its strength was actually consumed. After repeating this process several times, the Great Sage’s strength was somehow becoming even greater!
“What a troublesome ability!” Bexia looked toward the Great Sage, as if his gaze had pierced through countless layers of flesh and seen the Grail of Power within. He had studied one of its fragments and tampered with it, so he naturally knew the Grail of Power’s general abilities. That was why he had made such a remark.
“In that case, let’s try this…” Bexia remained floating motionless in midair, even closing his eyes as if he had given up resisting!
“Hahaha! I’ll gladly take your body!” The Great Sage instantly wrapped his tentacles around Bexia’s body. At that very moment, Bexia opened his eyes.
“Three Thousand Illusory Gods: Body of Time!”
A ripple spread beside Bexia, and a figure identical to him walked out of his body. Its pupils were completely blank, and its hair was predominantly white, with a lock of black hair hanging over its forehead.
“Quicksand of the Ages!”
Bexia’s Body of Time spoke. This was an illusory body he had comprehended after grasping the Laws of Time. It could be said to be the incarnation of the Laws of Time themselves.
As his voice fell, the tentacles wrapped around Bexia’s body began turning to sand at incredible speed. The Great Sage couldn’t reclaim even a trace of the energy within them. Or rather, the Body of Time’s attack had itself annihilated everything to the point of finality, making it impossible for the Grail of Power’s effects to act on any matter or energy struck by the power of time.
“What kind of power is this…?!” the Great Sage cried out in terror. This was the second time he had sensed such terrifying power from Bexia. Even the mighty Grail of Power showed no reaction at all. It was as if nothing had happened. Even after the Great Sage severed part of his tentacles, the power of time continued to corrode everything he had without mercy.
“No—!”
At last, the Great Sage’s head vanished completely. A brief calm descended across the land. A gentle breeze swept over the yellow sand covering the ground. Those grains were the traces left behind by the Great Sage monster’s body—and the only proof that it had ever existed.
“Phew—!” Bexia let out a breath. The Body of Time took a step back and merged with him once more. At the same time, he sighed over the gift bestowed by that powerful being in the river of time and space. This forbidden power of the soul was also a completely different method of cultivation—and its strength had far exceeded his expectations.
Although Bexia hadn’t cultivated at all since arriving in the Oloses Divine Realm, that was only because he had been constantly cultivating the Three Thousand Illusory Gods Technique. Aside from the God of Time, he now also had the God of Chaos within him!
In addition, the illusory bodies of the God of Destruction and the God of Space were both in the process of condensing!
“…So it’s called the Fusion Grail!” Bexia picked up the slightly dimmed golden cup from the ground. After carefully sensing the complete information within it, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“It’s actually an Extreme Sovereign Divine Artifact!”
The so-called “extreme” referred to an existence that was only a tiny step away from reaching the next level. And this Fusion Grail was actually an Extreme Sovereign Divine Artifact containing the power of nine hundred and ninety-nine Laws!
“What a pity that it’s been damaged.” Bexia sounded somewhat regretful. Although it had only suffered minor damage, the more powerful an object was, the more precision it required. Even the tiniest flaw could be fatal. The Fusion Grail looked as though it had only been damaged a little, but that had caused its overall level to drop by ninety-nine percent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to deal with the Great Sage so easily!
Of course, if it had truly been a complete Extreme Sovereign Divine Artifact, the Great Sage wouldn’t have been able to use it at all!
