“That guy actually left.” The chilling aura on the stone statue's corpse intensified, filled with fury. “It's fine, it's just a doppelgänger, and it has exhausted all its energy. Its purpose was only to bring that Human Venerable into the Demon Realm. That Human has fused the powers of both the Human race and the darkness; the ancestor of the Abyss Demon Tribe must have other uses for him.” The Sword Ancestor said solemnly, his voice filled with worry because, at this moment, in the Grave of Swords Abyss, endless divine patterns burst forth with booming sounds, and a series of angry roars echoed, as if something was about to crawl out from beneath the ground.
“Crack!”
At this moment, the doppelgänger of the Star God Palace Master was almost crushed by the tentacle, and it was already on the verge of collapse. The tentacle lashed violently, causing the Grave of Swords Abyss to rumble, threatening to destroy everything.
“Ah!” The Star Lord's doppelgänger roared in anger, feeling the star power within him rapidly deplete, seemingly being devoured and absorbed by the dark tentacle.
“Star Lord!” The Annihilation Star Venerable exclaimed in terror. If the Star Lord's doppelgänger was destroyed, he would also face grave danger.
“Stop him!” The Sword Ancestor said to the stone statue's corpse. Boom! The two acted simultaneously, and in an instant, two towering sword energies slashed towards the dark tentacle, making a puffing sound. A wound instantly appeared on the black tentacle, but as soon as this wound appeared, it began to heal at an astonishing speed, quickly returning to its smooth, flawless state.
“Damn it, that thing’s defenses are too strong. We only have a trace of power left, and it's impossible to slay it. My original body is still trapped in that sword body; what emerged is just a remnant soul.” The stone statue's corpse said, its voice cold and eerie. It was sealed within a mysterious rusty sword and could not fully escape.
“The seal here has been damaged by the ancestor of the Abyss Demon Tribe; it can't hold on for much longer. It's even more dangerous now.” The Sword Ancestor said solemnly, his tone serious. If something sealed for millions of years beneath this Abyss were to escape, the Heavenly Realm would undoubtedly fall into crisis, and the Human race would face calamity.
Boom, boom! Amidst their low murmurs, suddenly, the bronze coffin violently trembled, and two more tentacles shot out from beneath the ground. Crack, crack, crack! Countless divine patterns trembled, divine chains surged, creating a clattering sound, yet they could not contain the opponent at all.
As soon as these two tentacles emerged, they rushed to wrap around everyone present. Boom! The Mountain Lord's doppelgänger from the Great Universe was directly captured, while the other tentacle ensnared the Heaven Venerable working on Tian Gong.
The two powerful beings' doppelgängers were captured just like that, utterly powerless to resist, glowing entirely, continuously being devoured of their strength.
“Damn it! If this continues, that guy will truly escape.” The expressions of the stone statue's corpse and the Sword Ancestor changed drastically. The two acted frantically, but even as sword energies sliced into the black tentacle, repeatedly creating wounds from which black gas spilled out, the tentacles quickly merged back together, completely ignoring their attacks.
“This guy has been trapped for millions of years and has become familiar with the power of our realm. Our strength has diminished too much and cannot deal fatal damage to it.” The Sword Ancestor said, genuinely tense.
“Ah!” At that moment, the Star God Palace Master, who was wrapped by one of the tentacles, finally let out a tragic scream. With a boom, his doppelgänger was directly shattered under the devouring of the black tentacle, transforming into countless starlight, yet not even a trace of starlight escaped, all consumed by the black tentacle.
