Chapter 372 The Destroyer of Annihilation Breaks Through His Defenses
……
Meanwhile, beyond endless space and time, in the realm of demons and gods.
This is a world filled with despair and destruction.
The sky remained a dark red, lava flowed across the earth, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur and blood.
The Demon Abyss, which was originally the core area of the Demon God Realm, has now disappeared.
Instead, there is a massive, bottomless black hole.
The spatial rules there were completely shattered, forming terrifying spatial turbulence. Even a ninth-order demon would be instantly pulverized if it got close.
These are the scars left by that earth-shattering battle.
High above the heavens, stood a majestic figure.
Lord of Annihilation.
At this moment, although its body had fully recovered, its aura appeared extremely weak and even somewhat disordered.
The once solid and unyielding divine laws have now become dim and lifeless.
It won.
The red-haired monster projection from the River of Time, after activating the Demon Abyss Array and burning its own essence, was eventually exhausted and dissipated into the world.
"Cough cough cough..."
The Demon Lord of Annihilation clutched his chest and coughed violently several times, each cough causing the surrounding void to buzz.
"Damn red-haired monster...damn time projection..."
Its eyes were filled with resentment and lingering fear.
This was definitely the most frustrating battle it had ever fought since becoming a god.
Not only was his hometown raided and all his men killed, but he himself was almost beaten to death.
If it weren't for its [immortality] trait, and the fact that this was its home turf, it probably would have truly perished.
"However... fortunately, I still won in the end."
The Demon Lord of Annihilation took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
As long as the soul remains, as long as the true spirit is still alive, even the most severe injuries can be healed.
At worst, they might sleep for millions of years; for a demon god with endless lifespan, that's just the time it takes to take a nap.
"The most urgent task now is to regain my divinity."
Thinking of this, the Demon Lord of Annihilation's expression grew even more gloomy.
After the half of the divine core was severed, it was snatched away by the red-haired monster because the battle was too intense.
That damned red-haired monster, even on his deathbed, banished his half of his divine essence into the endless void.
That's its very core!
If it cannot be found, its power level will drop, and it may even stagnate and become a lower-level demon god.
"The divine essence is an integral part of me, and I can sense it wherever I am."
The Demon Lord of Annihilation closed his eyes, and his vast divine sense instantly spread out, almost covering the entire Demon God Realm, and even extending into the endless void beyond the realm.
"Over there!"
Soon, it suddenly opened its eyes and locked its gaze on a shattered void outside the Demon God Realm.
"Hmph, in the end, I am still one step ahead. It won't be that easy for you to seize my godhood..."
The Demon Lord of Annihilation snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he instantly tore through space and disappeared from the spot.
The next instant, it appeared in that desolate void, its powerful divine sense sweeping across.
"Found it!"
Not far from it, in a crevice of spatial turbulence, it sensed that extremely familiar aura.
That was half of its divine essence, floating there quietly, emitting a faint divine light.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord of Annihilation breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it wasn't lost.
As long as the divine status remains, everything is fine.
Repairing a deity is troublesome, requiring a lot of time and resources, and even hundreds of thousands of years of nurturing.
But what demons have in abundance is time; they possess eternal lifespans.
"Come back..."
The Demon Lord of Annihilation stretched out his large hand, a relieved smile on his face, preparing to take the half of the divine spark.
However, just a moment before its divine power touched the divine essence...
"Buzz!"
The void suddenly rippled strangely.
There were no signs whatsoever, nor any trace of spatial teleportation.
The half of the divine essence that was so close, and which it had clearly locked onto, vanished into thin air right under its nose.
It was as if it had been wiped away by an invisible hand, completely disappearing.
Not even a trace of its breath remained.
The smile on the face of the Demon Lord of Annihilation froze.
It felt like someone who hadn't eaten for three days was about to put a piece of braised pork in their mouth when their chopsticks broke and the meat fell down the drain and was washed away.
"?"
The Demon Lord of Annihilation's brain went blank for a moment.
"Where did it go?"
It suddenly released all its divine sense, frantically scanning the void within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.
No.
still none.
That half of the divine essence seemed to have never existed; it completely evaporated.
"This is impossible!!"
The Lord of Annihilation let out a low roar, his eyes turning crimson.
It couldn't believe that its divine status would disappear so inexplicably.
But at that moment, it suddenly remembered that, in order to prevent accidents, it had left a wisp of its natal divine thought deep within its divine essence.
That was its last resort.
As long as that wisp of divine thought remains, no matter where the divine essence is in the myriad worlds, or even in other universes, as long as that divine thought is exposed for a moment, it can instantly locate it, and even directly send a projection to take it back.
"Divine sense... Yes! Sensing divine sense!!"
As if grasping at a straw, the Lord of Annihilation immediately began to use a secret technique, attempting to connect with that wisp of divine thought through the causal thread.
however.
Take a breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths have passed.
The only feedback received was a deathly silence and emptiness.
The feeling was as if the causal thread had been "snipped" at its source by an extremely sharp pair of scissors.
Moreover, it was cut so cleanly that not even a single loose thread was left.
"Erased...?"
The Demon Lord of Annihilation stood frozen in the void, completely dumbfounded.
That's the life-bound divine thought of a high-ranking demon god!
To erase a divine thought of this level, it would require at least a true god of the same level, or even a stronger being, to intervene.
Moreover, it will take a huge amount of time and effort to erase it.
How long has it been?
In the blink of an eye?
It's gone?
"No!!!"
A deafening roar, filled with despair and rage, resounded in the void outside the Demon God Realm.
The terrifying sound waves instantly shattered all the meteorites within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
"Who did it? Who on earth did it?!"
"That's my divine essence! That's the culmination of my billions of years of cultivation!!"
The Demon Lord of Annihilation has completely broken through his defenses.
If being injured before was a disgrace, then losing its divine status now is the death knell.
Without this half of the divine essence, its realm will permanently decline, with no hope of recovery in sight.
Millions of years of arduous cultivation would be in vain, and he might even be devoured by other demons due to a significant loss of power.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
"No matter who you are! Even if I have to search every inch of the heavens and myriad realms, I will tear you to pieces!!!"
However impotently furious it may be.
That half of the divine essence was already lying peacefully in the system space of a certain handsome guy, and it had been cleaned up and even thoughtfully labeled "purified".
