Chapter 718 - 449: Void Creatures [2]
Their Life Level was far higher than that of ordinary people.
They were even immune, to a certain extent, to the power of Alien Origin Bodies.
But now...
Simply by seeing their opponent, four of them had died instantly.
A chill ran down his spine.
There was no time to think.
Two steel wings extended from the back of the remaining man. With a beat, he shot backward, fleeing for his life.
He understood now.
This Alien Origin Body’s power was far beyond what he could ever hope to contain.
’Just you wait,’ he thought. ’So what if this Alien Origin Body is powerful? It’ll be a dead end for it once we surround it.’
’I have to get out of here and report this.’
However, the very instant that thought arose, a sense of imminent doom washed over him, making him tremble uncontrollably.
He reflexively turned his head to look back.
His eyes fell upon a gigantic, bone-white blade of energy that suddenly tore through the air, sweeping past with a piercing shriek.
Dozens of reinforced concrete skyscrapers in its path were as fragile as tofu before this devastating slash. Their clean-cut surfaces reflected the cold glint of metal in the sunlight.
The Power User’s face was a mask of utter horror.
The blade of energy magnified rapidly before his eyes.
Before he could even let out a scream, his body was sliced in two in midair. The spurting blood was instantly vaporized into a red mist by the residual Sword Energy before it could even fall.
As for the ordinary people, not even fragments remained. They were instantly turned to dust, dissipating in the violent currents of air.
At the scene, the smoke and dust settled, and the air currents gradually calmed.
A slender figure was revealed.
Two vertical pupils, one red and one blue, glowed faintly. A pair of cat ears stood erect on her head.
She wore a suit of silver light armor that glinted coldly, each plate fitting her body like a scale.
She held a blood-colored curved saber pointed diagonally at the ground, its edge still wreathed in a strange, lingering bloody aura.
This person was none other than the black cat who was always by Wu Yang’s side.
Strangely, however, she was alone.
Wu Yang was nowhere to be seen.
After casually killing the Power Users, the cat-girl paid no mind to her surroundings.
Instead, she raised her head and looked toward the sky.
The next second, the sky above, which had been obscured by clouds, suddenly tore open.
A pair of Crimson serpent eyes appeared, their color so intense it eclipsed the light of the sun.
Seeing this, the red and blue light in her eyes grew even more brilliant.
A look of grim determination appeared on her face.
She raised the Long Saber in her hand, holding it horizontally before her.
"World Serpent? Today, either you die, or..."
She hadn’t finished speaking when her expression froze.
She stood rooted to the spot, like a puppet whose soul had been ripped out.
This was a clear sign that Hu Qi had instantly seized control of her mind.
She was too naive.
She had no concept of what a True God truly was.
Only another True God was qualified to even speak with one.
As for anyone else, no matter how strong, so what?
They were nothing but ants that could be crushed with a single thought.
"Where is that man?"
Hu Qi’s voice suddenly echoed.
The cat-eared girl’s expression was wooden.
"I hid Wu Yang. No one can find him but me..."
As she spoke, she plunged her Long Saber into the ground and made a light slash.
A rift appeared.
A purple light seeped out from within.
The next second, a figure appeared on the spot.
It was Wu Yang.
"Coal Ball, you... you actually dared to lock me up..."
Wu Yang looked at the cat-eared girl before him, his face filled with anger.
Right after he had created a suitable Alien Origin Body for her, he never expected she would lock him away in an Alternate Space.
He knew she was just worried about him, afraid he would get caught in the crossfire.
But he didn’t want to hide like this.
He had long since come to see the girl as family. How could he let her face danger alone while he hid?
However, before he could finish speaking, he sensed that something was wrong.
He slowly raised his head.
GULP...
When he saw it clearly, his Adam’s apple bobbed uncontrollably.
He froze on the spot.
"So you are the Creator of the Alien Origin Bodies? Interesting. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Hu Qi’s voice rang out, tinged with curiosity.
After speaking, he paused.
"Never mind. Let me see for myself."
The next second, Wu Yang’s body shuddered.
He discovered in horror that his body’s tissues were beginning to melt.
He wanted to struggle, to beg for mercy, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
Soon, he melted into a pool of blood right where he stood.
Floating above the pool of blood was an object.
It was a black sketchbook.
The pages of the sketchbook were unnaturally black, as if they could devour light itself.

Furthermore, the sketchbook was actually able to block his Divine Soul’s penetration.
Seeing this, a thought stirred in Hu Qi’s mind.
A wisp of Crimson Flame Yang Fire ignited, enveloping the sketchbook.
Licked by the flames, the sketchbook’s surface gradually melted, and a crack opened.
The crack was deep and dark. Looking closely, one could see a faint glimmer of white light flickering within.
The moment the crack appeared, a tremor emanated from the sketchbook, spreading outward in all directions.
The entire space began to tremble. It started as a slight shudder but quickly evolved into a violent, visible fluctuation.
Dense, concentric ripples spread through the air, as if an invisible sledgehammer were repeatedly striking the surface of a transparent film of water.
Wherever the ripples passed, the very fabric of reality became blurred and indistinct.
The surrounding ground and collapsed walls warped and twisted in the ripples.
But Hu Qi’s gaze penetrated to the deepest part and saw what was hidden there.
A gigantic white cocoon.
Thin white threads extended from all around the cocoon, disappearing into the void.
At that moment, the giant cocoon was trembling violently. Its surface bulged out from time to time, as if something inside were struggling desperately, writhing and trying to crawl out.
As if sensing Hu Qi’s gaze, countless lines of sight instantly pierced through from inside the cocoon—cold, curious, hungry, malicious...
A mixture of strange and malevolent emotions converged upon Hu Qi.
Had it been anyone else, their Spirit would have likely collapsed on the spot.
But unfortunately for it, it was facing Hu Qi.
"Such pointless theatrics!"
Hu Qi snorted coldly, unleashing the full might of a True God without reservation.
—CRACK! CRACK!
Under this terrifying pressure, the white cocoon trembled even more violently. The cracks spread rapidly, and a blinding light burst forth from the fissures.
It was as if this space itself could no longer bear it.
—POP!
The next second, the cocoon burst apart, revealing a bizarre white worm.
The worm’s body was densely covered with thousands of eyes. They blinked incessantly, and a single glance was enough to make one’s scalp crawl and a chill run through their entire body.
The instant the worm was seen, a bizarre power spread outward, causing everything in the vicinity to twist and turn upside down.
However, this power was contained within a tiny area by a flicker of Twisted Light, unable to spread any further.
The next moment, the space where the white worm was located suddenly rippled, as if a giant mouth had opened.
It swallowed the white worm in a single gulp.
CHOMP!
「Outside Kapu Star.」
Hu Qi’s serpentine mouth opened and closed.
Inside his mouth lay the white worm covered in eyes.
But now, the white worm was rapidly expanding, growing even larger than Hu Qi’s own serpentine head and forcing his closed jaws open.
At the same time, beams of light shot out from its countless eyes.
It was trying to break free.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Hu Qi merely snorted.
Ordinary snakes could swallow prey three times their own size, let alone him.
Hu Qi stretched his serpentine maw to its absolute limit, his black-hole-like mouth instantly engulfing the worm once more.
His immense bite force clamped down.
Thick juices oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"SKREEE—"
A sharp, piercing shriek suddenly rang out, shattering the silence. The sound seemed to come from an endless abyss, sending a chill down the spine.
The worm writhed frantically, its countless tiny eyes spinning wildly.
It tried in vain to escape its deadly confines, but it was all for naught.
Hu Qi’s throat convulsed, and with a muffled sound, he successfully swallowed the entire worm, which vanished completely.
The Spirit Devouring Talent activated.
Soon, all signs of struggle ceased.
