Deep Sea Starship Apocalypse
Chapter 15 The Final Cocoon of Evil, Heaven and Earth Corrode Together
The faint light of the Meteorite Sanctuary was completely blocked behind them by the thick broken walls, and the bone rain once again pierced their flesh like needles and knives.
The raindrops weren't water; they were the condensed fluids of corpses and remnants of souls seeping out after the collapse of heaven and earth. When they hit the skin, they weren't cold, but a piercing, sticky, stinging pain, like countless tiny maggots crawling and gnawing in the pores. Each drop that landed on the shoulder, the back of the hand, or the cheek left a fleeting, dark red mark—a burn from the scorching aura of decay, deep within the skin, indelible and impossible to wash or scrape off, leaving only a lingering, sweet, putrid stench, like the stench of corpses buried underground for millennia, seeping into the depths of the lungs with every breath.
The dark, blood-red eye of the sky still hung there, the clouds heavier than before, the leaden-gray sky walls threatening to crush the dilapidated rooftops. Even the wind had ceased to blow, the entire world seemed suffocated in an airtight iron coffin. The air was so thick it was almost solidified; inhaling it filled the lungs with a paste of rotten earth, stale blood, and foul odor. Each breath felt like swallowing scalding mud, a dull ache throbbing in the chest, even the heartbeat slowed and heavy, as if it would stop completely at any moment.
The soil beneath my feet was no longer soil, but a putrid slurry softened by the bones of countless creatures over millennia. Each step caused a slight sinking, leaving sticky black threads on the soles of my shoes, as if I were stepping on rotten entrails. Dark mold covered the surrounding ruins, beneath which lay half-dried scabs, embedded with fragments of teeth, nails, hair, and eyeballs. Soaked in the rain of bones, these fragments dissolved and slowly flowed down the walls, accumulating in puddles of dark red, murky stagnant water at the corners. Bubbles floated on the surface, each bursting to release a nauseating stench.
The sounds of the laws of heaven and earth collapsing grew clearer, not a roar, but a subtle yet continuous cracking sound, like a spider web spreading and breaking in the shadows, inch by inch devouring the remaining order. The spatial barriers were soft and viscous, with dark ripples spreading gently everywhere, swallowing light, churning spiritual energy, and even dust falling silently, as if plunging into a bottomless abyss. Occasionally, fragments of space would slice through the air, leaving a dark blade-like mark. Wherever the blade passed, even the decaying air was cut open, revealing a deeper, colder, and more deathly void beneath.
In the distant Eight Extremes Land, the long-dormant evil finally stirred.
No longer whispering and scheming against humans, their auras suddenly turned violent, greedy, and bloodthirsty. The evil thoughts that had previously maintained a strange tacit understanding now surged into naked killing intent and hunger—the vitality of heaven and earth was gradually withering away, and the half-destroyed celestial remains watched coldly. The resentment of humans was no longer enough to replenish their losses, so only... mutual devouring remained.
In the perpetually frozen abyss of the far north, the Frostbone Mother Goddess's ice cracked inch by inch, the scarlet marks on her withered bones gleaming. Her icy will swept across the surroundings, carrying undisguised greed: "The resentment of those ants in the sanctuary is nothing but a drop in the ocean. Rather than waiting for the world to completely decay, it's better to devour a few weaker members of our own kind to hold out until the day we break free."
Before it finished speaking, a series of bone-cracking sounds suddenly erupted from beneath the abyss's icy layer. Countless frozen remains of living beings exploded inside the ice, scattering bone fragments and melting frozen blood, which gushed out along the ice cracks, instantly forming a dark red river of blood on the ground.
Beneath the deep sea, the massive body of the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm trembled violently, its icy outer shell peeling away to reveal a writhing, tooth-covered soft torso beneath. Its will swept across the land like a icy tide: "The law of the jungle is the ultimate truth of nature. Humans kill each other for survival, but we eat each other to evolve."
The moment the outer shell shattered, countless unresolved limbs and fragments that it had devoured rolled out from the cracks. Some were human bones, some were demon bones, and some were half heads with eyeballs that had not yet completely decayed. They rolled slowly in the seawater, were swept away by the ocean current, and instantly disappeared into the dark depths.
Deep within the decaying mud of the seabed, the single eye of the Deep Sea Corpse Evil God burst forth with a blinding crimson light, its foul stench surging like waves and reaching the heavens: "Start with the weakest... Devour it, and my skeletal body will solidify a little more, bringing me one step closer to breaking free from the shackles of the Heavenly Corpse."
It was surrounded by churning putrid mud, where countless half-corpses struggled, twisted, and screamed, but were tightly entangled by the putrid mud and dragged little by little into the depths, leaving only desperate outstretched hands that scratched at the surface of the mud for a moment before sinking completely.
The Bloodfin Sea-Splittering Kraken raged wildly in the depths of the ocean, whipping up towering black waves, its violent intent shattering the sea's surface: "We devour each other, the strong grow stronger, the weak perish. Once we've devoured each other, we'll crush that laughable meteorite tortoise shell and swallow the remaining humans whole!"
Where the giant waves crashed, a dense layer of dead fish floated to the surface of the sea. The fish were swollen and rotting, their bellies burst open, their internal organs floating, and the stench permeated the air for miles.
The Shattered Soul Demon Lord Chonglou, surrounded by shattered souls howling madly, his evil power surging, his sinister laughter echoing between heaven and earth: "Human schemes are nothing but child's play before us. Once we have devoured them all and reached our peak power, even Half a Celestial Corpse will have to be wary!"
The billions of remnant souls around him were forcibly torn apart, and the soul fragments fell like blood rain, sizzling as they landed on the ground, corroding small black pits.
The Thousand-Handed Sky-Splitting Demon Mother unleashed her thousand palms, and the remnant souls she grasped screamed in agony, their foul aura growing wildly like poisonous vines: "No one will escape unscathed. From this day forward, the Eight Extremes will no longer be at peace. Evil spirits will devour each other, and heaven and earth will become their furnace. Let's see who can endure to the end and become the sole ruler of this apocalyptic world!"
On the palm of his hand, countless souls were crushed alive, their blood dripping through his fingers and igniting eerie green flames in the void.
The remaining malevolent auras all surged violently, and countless enormous, ferocious, and indescribable phantoms in the void slowly opened their eyes.
Some of their pupils are endless swirling vortexes of broken bone;
Some pupils were filled with boiling, foul blood;
Some of them didn't even have eyes; they only had mouths that kept opening and closing, chewing on shattered souls.
There was no declaration of war, and no dialogue.
The next moment, the malice that spanned heaven and earth collided with a deafening roar.
The skeletal rain was blasted upwards by the evil force, the crimson halo in the sky trembled violently, the earth shook violently, and decaying mountains collapsed with a deafening roar, splitting open bottomless chasms. The ferocious creatures dragged their world-destroying bodies and charged at each other with ferocious ferocity, their claws tearing through the void, their foul air sweeping in all directions, and their mournful and terrifying roars shattering the clouds and exploding in the deathly silence of the world.
That roar wasn't a sound, but a piercing pain that struck their very souls. Even though Yu Moyan and Jiang Duyue were separated by the abyss, the Dragon-Slaying Stone, and the spiritual energy shield, their seas of consciousness were still wracked with pain, blood was seeping from their mouths and noses, their eardrums were ringing, and their vision was going black in waves, as if their souls were being forcibly torn out of their bodies.
They began to tear each other apart, devour each other, and kill each other.
The oppressive atmosphere and terror in the world reached their peak at this moment.
Yu Moyan, holding Jiang Duyue's hand, hid beneath the ruins of a collapsed ancient temple, listening to the distant roars of evil spirits that could shatter one's soul, feeling every inch of air trembling, decaying, and boiling, and feeling the icy coldness at his fingertips.
He could smell the increasingly strong stench of blood in the air—not human blood, but the dark, viscous evil blood from the body of the malevolent being, pungent and toxic. After smelling it for a while, his consciousness began to blur, and countless images of being devoured, torn apart, and melted appeared before his eyes.
He knew that the real catastrophe had only just begun.
The rain of bones never ceased; instead, it grew even denser and more piercing due to the sudden surge of ferocious energy in the world. Beneath the dark blood-red sky, the single, lifeless eye continued to slowly rotate, its gaze indifferently sweeping across the eight extreme regions, as if watching a farce destined to end. Half-Heavens of the Heavens, Cang Yuanmi, stood atop the sky, his skeletal flames neither flaming nor extinguishing. The half-closed, dark golden eye within its empty socket remained motionless, never uttering a sound, simply gazing down silently as the myriad evils below went mad and the world crumbled.
Beneath his feet lay a shattered sky, surrounded by fragmented stars, and enveloped by a half-broken fragment of the Heavenly Dao Laws. He resembled a lonely king abandoned by the world, indifferent, solitary, and aloof. The life and death of all living beings and the battles of all evil were nothing more than the slightest movement of dust in his eyes.
The glimmer of light in the shelter had long been swallowed by endless darkness. Yu Moyan, holding Jiang Duyue's hand, hid behind the Broken Dragon Stone beneath the abyss, using their remaining star energy to form a thin shield to isolate themselves from the surrounding foul air and terrifying pressure. The two dared not make the slightest movement, even suppressing their breathing to the extreme. They could only watch helplessly through the gaps as the monstrous battle of devouring evil spirits that swept across the heavens and earth unfolded before their eyes.
Outside the shield, the rain of bones pounded against the stone surface with muffled "tap, tap, tap," each sound like a blow to the heart. The air was bone-chillingly cold, yet suffocatingly stuffy. The foul air, almost tangible, clung to the shield's surface, slowly corroding it with a faint "sizzling" sound. The Star Element Shield dimmed and thinned at a visible rate, as if it would shatter at any moment. Once it broke, the two would instantly be invaded by the foul air, reduced to walking corpses, or directly crushed into mincemeat by the malevolent pressure.
The air between heaven and earth was no longer air, but a viscous, turbid torrent churned by filth, blood, shattered souls, and skeletal fire. Each wisp was as heavy as lead, and inhaling it was like swallowing a red-hot blade, slicing one's throat and lungs until blood flowed freely. The spatial barriers had completely collapsed, revealing pitch-black spatial rifts everywhere. Chaotic torrents surged within these rifts, instantly pulverizing any life that touched them. The earth, already rotten into mud, trembled violently under the oppressive force of evil. Decaying mountains collapsed with a deafening roar, and abysses expanded continuously. From the depths of the earth came muffled rumblings—the lamentations of shattered earth veins and the drying up of the Yellow Springs.
The first to clash were the deep-sea scavenger god of the South Pacific and the bloodfin sea monster of the Indian Ocean.
The Deep Sea Corpse God dwells in the core of the seabed's putrid mud. Its body is formed from millions of years of sunken corpses, deep-sea silt, and foul air. It is pitch-black and sticky, with its torso, pieced together from countless corpses, stretching for thousands of miles. Its surface is covered with dense, black tentacles, each tipped with a multitude of scarlet single eyes, each gleaming with greed and cunning. Its head is a hundred-foot-long skull of a putrid corpse, its jaws filled with spiraling, sharp teeth. Foul-smelling putrid liquid drips constantly from between its teeth. Wherever the liquid drips, the seawater instantly boils, and even the seabed rocks are corroded into bottomless caverns.
Inside its torso, countless half-digested corpse parts were slowly writhing. Some still retained human outlines, some were reduced to half a spine, and some had their eyeballs still moving in their sockets, enveloped in foul air, emitting silent wails.
The Bloodfin Sea-Splitter is the overlord of the sea, its body resembling an ancient whale, yet far more ferocious and terrifying. Its entire body is covered in hard, dark red scales, each the size of a millstone, its edges gleaming with a chilling light, powerful enough to tear the heavens and earth apart. Nine blood-red fins sprout from its back, sharp as knives, each flap capable of unleashing towering waves. Its tail fin is covered in barbs, capable of cleaving mountains in two with a single sweep. Its head has three vertical pupils burning with bloodthirsty flames, and its gaping maw is filled with interlocking fangs; dripping saliva transforms into poisonous waves, annihilating all life in its path.
With each breath, the troll spewed out dark red blood foam from its cheeks, mixed with bits of flesh and bone—the undigested remnants of the creatures it had devoured.
The two evil beings were not far apart. They had maintained a fragile tacit understanding when they were plotting against humans. Now, with their life force exhausted and their resentment insufficient to nourish them, all that remained in their eyes was a naked desire to devour each other.
"Bloodfin monster, your scales and blood essence perfectly complement the flaws of my decaying body!"
The Deep Sea Corpse God launched the first attack, its thousand-mile-long rotting corpse torso churning violently. The seabed mud instantly stirred up towering waves, and countless pitch-black tentacles shot out like a torrential rain. Each tentacle was as tough as steel, and its crimson single eye at the tip was locked on the Bloodfin Sea-Splitting Kraken. The tentacles were wrapped in a dense, impenetrable stench, and wherever they passed, the seawater was dyed black, and even the space itself was corroded and rippled.
The tentacles moved with lightning speed, instantly wrapping around the scales of the Bloodfin Sea Ragnarok. The sharp teeth at the tips of the tentacles bit deep into the gaps in the scales, frantically sucking the life essence from its body. The black tentacles quickly turned red and swelled, like leeches that had sucked their fill of blood, gradually expanding and shining.
The Bloodfin Sea Ragnarok was in pain, and its three vertical pupils instantly burst out with blinding blood light. Its violent roar shattered the entire Indian Ocean, and towering waves swept in all directions, causing the underwater mountains to collapse.
"You rotten mud, how dare you covet this emperor!"
The giant monster violently swung its body, its nine blood-red fins slashing wildly. The fins, sharp as celestial blades, swept across its tentacles, instantly severing dozens of them. The severed tentacles writhed erratically in the seawater, black, putrid blood and bits of flesh gushing from the cuts. The putrid blood fell into the sea, instantly poisoning billions of marine creatures and even corrupting the seawater into a viscous black slurry. Yet these severed tentacles did not die; instead, they wriggled rapidly in the seawater, attempting to reassemble themselves, even lunging towards the giant monster's wounds, trying to burrow into its body and devour its internal organs.
On its severed whiskers, tiny mouthparts opened and closed frantically, chewing up bits of flesh from the seawater, producing a series of subtle, dense "crunching" sounds that sent chills down one's spine.
The Bloodfin Sea-Splitting Giant roared, spewing out a torrent of blood-red liquid. This torrent contained flames capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas, and deadly poison, instantly reducing large sections of its severed whiskers to ashes. It lashed out with its tail fin, the massive, barbed tail slamming into the torso of the Deep Sea Corpse God. With a deafening roar, the rotten corpse's pieced-together body was blasted into a crater hundreds of feet deep, countless fragments of rotting flesh scattering, mixed with bone fragments and foul odors, spreading throughout the seawater.
Deep within the depression, half a rotting human head was exposed, its features indistinct and its tongue protruding. With a tremendous force, the head exploded completely, its brain matter mixed with putrid blood spreading in the seawater.
The deep-sea scavenging evil god let out a mournful roar. The rotting flesh in the crater writhed rapidly, and countless tiny corpse worms crawled out from the decaying flesh, frantically gnawing at the surrounding blood and flesh, repairing the wound at an astonishing speed. Instead of retreating, it became even more frenzied. Its thousand-mile-long body suddenly contracted, tightly binding the Bloodfin Sea-Splitting Kraken. The rotting skull opened its blood-red maw, and its spiraling teeth viciously bit towards the Kraken's vital neck.
"Die! Turn into nourishment!"
Sharp teeth pierced through the scales, embedding themselves deep into the giant monster's flesh. Foul-smelling, putrid liquid gushed into the monster's body through the wounds, frantically corroding its meridians and soul. The Bloodfin Sea-Splitting Giant Monster convulsed in agony, its three vertical pupils flashing with a final, blood-red light. It ceased its defenses, instead trading blows for its own. Its massive head slammed into the skull of the Corpse God, simultaneously tearing a large chunk of rotting flesh from the god's torso.
As the rotting flesh entered its throat, the giant monster felt a stench and filth rush straight to its mind, yet it chewed frantically, swallowing the flesh and blood and absorbing its evil power. The chewing sounds were dull and grating, bones shattered between its teeth, and putrid juices spilled from the corners of its mouth, leaving long black threads in the seawater.
The skull of the deep-sea scavenging demon shattered, spewing out a torrent of brain-like putrid fluid. Taking advantage of this, it burrowed even more tentacles into the monster's body. The tentacles churned wildly within the monster's entrails, gnawing at its heart and soul. Clear tearing and chewing sounds echoed from within the monster's body as its internal organs were torn apart, crushed, and sucked away by the tentacles. Blood gushed from its seven orifices, staining the entire deep sea crimson.
Two ferocious beasts clashed fiercely in the deep sea, turning the water a murky black and red. Flesh, bone fragments, scales, and foul odors mingled together, creating a terrifying sea of death. They tore at each other, devouring and ripping, without any skill, only the most primal and bloody savage struggle.
In the end, the Bloodfin Sea-Splitter's soul was shredded by its tentacles, and its body was completely devoured by the Corpse God. Its massive body rapidly dissolved, transforming into a pure evil force that merged into the Corpse God's body.
The giant monster's scales peeled off and melted away, only to be snatched up and eaten by the evil god's tentacles;
The troll's bones were ground into bone powder by its spiraling teeth;
The troll's soul was torn into thin threads and slowly absorbed into the evil god's single eye.
The evil god's body swelled several times over; its previously mangled, decaying torso became increasingly solid, its tentacles grew thicker, and its number of scarlet eyes multiplied. Its aura of filth was as thick as ink, and its power was several times greater than before. Having devoured the giant monster, it did not stop; its scarlet gaze swept towards another weaker, more ferocious evil hidden in the depths of the ocean—the Shadow Heart-Eating Demon.
The Shadow Devouring Ghost, its form ethereal like a wisp of black mist, excelled at stealth and ambush, devouring the souls of living beings. Among the twenty ferocious demons, it was relatively weak. Sensing the terrifying pressure of the evil god, it immediately tried to flee, but the moment it moved, it was instantly entangled by the evil god's rapidly growing, thousand-mile-long tentacles. Its illusory body was tightly bound by the tentacles, its soul forcibly torn out. Before it could even utter a scream, it was completely swallowed by the evil god.
The instant the shadow was torn apart, countless tiny fragments of soul drifted in the seawater like black snowflakes. As soon as they appeared, they were swept away by the evil god's tentacles, leaving not a trace.
In the short span of half an incense stick's time, the Deep Sea Corpse Evil God devoured two ferocious evil beings, its aura surging once again, making it the victor in the first battle.
Meanwhile, in the frozen abyss of the far north, the battle between the Frostbone Mother Goddess and the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworms had reached a fever pitch.
The Frostbone Mother Goddess's body was formed from millennia-old ice and the withered bones of countless living beings. Standing tens of thousands of feet tall, her entire body was snow-white yet tinged with dark, skeletal marks. Every inch of her bones was crystal clear, yet riddled with jagged cracks, from which icy cold and foul air constantly seeped. Her head was a colossal frostbone skull, with eerie blue bone flames burning in her eye sockets. Her hands were ten thousand-foot-long bone claws, their tips sharp as blades, capable of tearing through ice and space itself. Surrounding her were countless tiny bone needles, each containing a sealed remnant soul, emitting a mournful howl with every rotation.
Inside the bone needle, the sealed remnant soul's face was distorted, its eyeballs bulged, its tongue stretched out, and its hands frantically clawed at the void, yet it could only be nailed firmly to the bone needle, enduring eternal, bone-chilling cold.
The Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm huddled in the core of the abyss, its body like an ancient mountain, completely encased in a thick, frozen shell. The shell was covered in jet-black cracks, beneath which writhed a white silkworm's body, covered with countless tiny, sharp teeth and mandibles, each capable of devouring everything. It had no distinct head, only a gigantic maw that stretched across its body, its fangs interlocking, its saliva a frozen, icy venom that, wherever it dripped, formed a layer of eternal ice, freezing even time itself.
Inside the gigantic maw, countless undigested bone fragments and frozen flesh hung from layers upon layers of sharp teeth. Some were the skeletons of ferocious beasts, others were the remains of evil spirits, all maintaining their painful, dying postures in the cold air.
"Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor, your frozen essence will perfectly help me condense the Frost Bone True Body!"
With a wave of her bone claws, Frostbone Mother Goddess unleashed a torrent of bone needles, each carrying a chilling aura and the resentment of a lingering soul. These needles instantly pierced the icy outer shell of the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor, causing the shell to crack instantly. The chilling aura and foul energy surged in through the cracks, attempting to freeze the silkworm's body.
The moment the bone needle pierced the outer shell, the sealed remnant soul screamed simultaneously, its soul power erupted, the crack widened instantly, and ice shards and bone fragments flew everywhere.
The Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm let out a deep roar, its icy outer shell shattered, and its white silkworm body tumbled violently, its thousand-foot-long body sweeping out horizontally, its countless mouthparts opening and closing wildly, devouring the bone needles and cold air that attacked.
"Frosty bones, you worthless trash, your withered bones and soul are my best nourishment!"
It suddenly opened its gigantic maw, which stretched across its entire body, unleashing a terrifying devouring force. The ice, withered bones, and foul air of the abyss were all sucked into its maw, even causing space itself to twist and vortex. Caught off guard, the Frostbone Mother Goddess was pulled by the devouring force, the eternally frozen ice beneath her feet instantly shattered, and her ten-thousand-foot-tall skeletal body staggered towards the gigantic maw.
Ice peaks, skeletons, and shattered souls along the way were all sucked into the giant mouth and crushed into dust between its sharp teeth, producing a tooth-grinding grinding sound.
The Frostbone Mother Goddess roared, her bone claws plunging into the ground, causing countless withered bones to surge forth and form a wall of bones to resist the devouring power. However, the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor's devouring power was too terrifying; the moment the bone wall formed, it was swallowed whole by its gigantic maw, leaving not even a trace behind. Taking advantage of the situation, the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor swung its silkworm body, its proboscis-covered form tightly coiling around the Frostbone Mother Goddess. Countless proboscises bit into her bone body, frantically gnawing at the ice and withered bones, drawing upon their primal power.
The sound of the jaws crushing bones was clear and piercing, bone fragments flew everywhere, ice shards scattered, and the frosty white bone powder mixed with the black foul air, drifting away in the cold wind.
Its skeletal body shattered, ice crystals scattering as the Frostbone Mother Goddess let out a mournful wail, the bone fire in her eye sockets trembling violently. With all its might, it plunged its bone claws deep into the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor's body, tearing off a large chunk of white flesh, while simultaneously detonating the remnants of souls sealed around it. Billions of these remnants instantly self-destructed, and a terrifying shockwave swept across the entire frozen abyss, causing the ice layers to collapse and the abyss to crack.
The remnant soul that self-destructed turned into a sky full of blood mist, which fell on the ice surface and instantly froze into dark red ice crystals, beautiful and eerie.
The Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor cried out in pain, its massive jaws snapping shut, yet it still clung tightly to the Frostbone Mother Goddess, its maws devouring her with increasing frenzy. The Frostbone Mother Goddess's skeletal body continued to melt, her withered bones gnawed away, her ice consumed, until finally, with a desperate howl, her entire body was swallowed whole by the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor.
The last of the Bone God's bone fire flickered for a moment in the giant maw of the Silkworm Emperor before being completely swallowed up, leaving not even a glimmer of light behind.
After devouring the Frostbone Mother, the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworms swelled dramatically. Its icy outer shell vanished completely, and its white silkworm body became crystal clear. A chilling aura that could freeze everything surrounded it, and the number of its mouthparts multiplied, making its devouring power even greater than before. It turned its head to look at another ferocious beast in the far north—the Frost Prison Bone Dragon. Without the slightest hesitation, its silkworm body swept out, and the Frost Prison Bone Dragon, without any power to resist, was swallowed whole and completely transformed into nourishment.
The dragon bones of the Bone Dragon were gradually crushed and melted within the Silkworm Emperor's body, leaving only fine bone fragments. As the evil power flowed, these fragments became part of the Emperor's body.
Deep in the Alps, the battle between the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou and the Thousand-Handed Sky-Splitting Demon Mother is even more bizarre and terrifying.
The Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou sat atop the Soul-Shattering Peak, surrounded by billions of shattered souls. These souls emitted mournful howls, forming terrifying soul waves capable of shattering the minds of living beings. His body was emaciated and pitch black, with nine vertical pupils on his head, each capable of captivating the soul. He gripped two Soul-Shattering Demon Blades in his hands, each blade wrapped with shattered soul threads, capable of severing both soul and body.
Countless translucent soul threads clung to the edge of the demonic blade, from which hung mutilated human faces. Their eyes moved and their mouths opened and closed, but they could not utter a sound and could only sway slowly in the wind.
The Thousand-Armed Sky-Splitting Demon Mother hovered in the void, her thousand arms outstretched amidst the foul air. Each hand bore a scarlet demonic eye, clutching shattered souls and poisonous vines of foul air. Her body was alluring yet ferocious, her lower half composed of countless pitch-black tentacles covered in sharp teeth, capable of entangling and devouring all things. Her head bore three faces, representing greed, violence, and cunning respectively. The three faces spoke simultaneously, their voices intertwining, driving people to the brink of madness.
Soul blood dripped continuously from the corners of the three faces' mouths. The blood droplets landed on the tentacles, where they were bitten to pieces by sharp teeth, making a soft chewing sound.
"Heaven-Splitting Demon Mother, your Thousand-Handed Soul Eye will be perfect for me to condense my Shattered Soul True Body!"
With a wave of his demonic blade, Chonglou unleashed a massive wave of shattered souls that swept towards the Demon Mother. Wherever the wave passed, space distorted, and living souls were forcibly torn out.
Amidst the waves of souls, countless faces rose and fell, screamed, and struggled, torn to pieces by the soul power.
The Thousand-Handed Sky-Splitting Demon Mother spread her thousand palms out simultaneously, her ghostly eyes opening at the same time, shooting out thousands of scarlet rays that pierced through the soul waves, shredding the shattered souls to pieces.
"Old man, Soul Shatterer, your soul power is what allows my Thousand Hands technique to advance further!"
A thousand arms swung simultaneously, unleashing a torrent of foul-smelling vines that coiled around Chonglou's body, attempting to forcibly rip his soul from his body. Chonglou brandished his demonic blade, severing the vines with his soul threads, but the vines continued to grow, tightening their grip, their tentacles binding his legs and their sharp teeth gnawing viciously at his flesh.
The poisonous vine pierced the flesh, and foul air surged in through the wound. Dark purple blood vessels appeared on the surface of Chonglou's body, writhing and twisting like venomous snakes.
Chonglou's nine vertical pupils simultaneously erupted with black light, unleashing a sudden burst of soul-exploding power. The shattered souls around him all self-destructed, and the terrifying wave of souls forced the Demon Mother back. He seized the opportunity to close the distance, his demonic blade slashing fiercely at the Demon Mother's body, severing several of her arms. The severed arms fell to the ground, their ghostly eyes still spinning, and the tentacles on the arms writhing wildly, attempting to retaliate.
The severed arm twisted and crawled on the ground, its ghostly eyes fixed on Chonglou, shooting out thin beams of red light.
The Demon Mother let out a piercing shriek, her three faces contorting simultaneously. Her remaining arm lunged at Chonglou, her ghostly eyes shooting out deadly rays that pierced his shoulder, sending waves of excruciating pain through his soul. Yet, he grew even more frenzied, ignoring his injuries, his demonic blade plunging into the Demon Mother's head, shattering her three faces and simultaneously devouring her scattered soul and evil power.
The moment the three faces were shattered, eyeballs rolled out, tongues were dragged out, and soul blood gushed out, condensing into a blood-red light curtain in mid-air.
In the end, the Thousand-Handed Sky-Splitting Demon Mother was completely devoured by Chonglou amidst her desperate roars. Chonglou's body swelled up, his nine vertical pupils became even more ferocious, and his soul-shattering power surpassed that of before. He turned and devoured the weak and ferocious demon watching from the sidelines—the Illusionary Sound Bewitching Demon—becoming yet another victor.
The soul of the Phantom Sound Demon was sucked into the nine vertical pupils at the same time, instantly turning into nothingness without leaving a trace.
In other areas, the fighting was equally brutal.
In the desert, the Sand Skeleton Tyrant clashed with the Fiery Demon Lord deep within the volcano. The Sand Skeleton Tyrant controlled the endless yellow sand and skeletons, while the Fiery Demon Lord wielded the blazing flames and magma of the burning mountain. The two fought fiercely at the boundary between the desert and the volcano, the yellow sand and flames intertwining, the earth burning red-hot, and the skeletons melting into molten iron. The Sand Skeleton Tyrant enveloped the Fiery Demon Lord in yellow sand, grinding him to pieces. Bones rubbed and shattered in the sandflow, until the Fiery Demon Lord was finally swallowed whole. It then devoured the Rock Marrow Earth Demon standing nearby.
The Bone-Eating Nether Worms from the abyss clashed with the Shadow Devouring Demons in the void. The Bone-Eating Nether Worms, with bodies as long as ten thousand feet and covered in sharp teeth, could corrode everything; the Shadow Devouring Demons, with their ethereal forms, could traverse the void and devour light and shadow. The two fought repeatedly in the void and underground. The Shadow Devouring Demon was swallowed whole by the Nether Worms, its body sizzling and corroding inside the worm's belly, turning into a pool of black water along with its soul. The Nether Worms then devoured the Dark Mist Demons in the void.
The Azure Water Demon of the Eastern Sea and the Wood Soul Evil Lord of the Mountains and Forests fought fiercely. The Water Demon controlled the raging flood, while the Wood Soul Evil Lord controlled hundreds of millions of demonic trees. The flood destroyed the demonic trees, and the demonic trees entangled the Water Demon, their roots piercing into the Water Demon's body and sucking its essence and blood. In the end, the Wood Soul Evil Lord devoured the Water Demon and then swallowed the Stone-Skinned Giant Demon in the Mountains and Forests.
In the western wasteland, the Bone Armored Barbarian God clad in withered bone armor possessed immense strength; the Wind Howling Fiend controlled raging winds, tearing everything apart. After a fierce battle, the Bone Armored Barbarian God shattered the Wind Howling Fiend God, devouring it, and then consumed the Bloodfang Wolf Demon of the wasteland.
The battle raged across the land for a full day and night. Twenty ferocious demons fought, devoured, and slaughtered each other. The weak were all swallowed whole by the strong, their flesh, souls, evil power, and very essence plundered. The earth was littered with the remains of the demons' flesh, bones, scales, and foul stench. The sky was shrouded in a dark red aura, and spatial rifts spread in all directions. The entire world had become a bloody slaughterhouse.
Each devouring was accompanied by mournful howls and terrifying phenomena; each battle accelerated the collapse of heaven and earth. Blood stained the rotting earth, foul odors obscured the dark blood-red sky, and the wails of shattered souls echoed throughout the heavens and earth, chilling all who heard them and causing their souls to tremble.
In the end, all twenty evil spirits perished, leaving only eight of the most powerful beings standing tall at the eight extremes of heaven and earth, their aura overwhelming and their pressure sweeping across the entire world.
they are, respectively:
The Deep Sea Corpse Evil God, the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm, the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou, the Sand Corpse Tyrant, the Bone-Eating Nether Worm, the Wood Soul Evil Lord, the Bone Armor Barbarian God, and finally, the Void Soul-Splitting Beast that devoured two ferocious evil beings.
Each of the eight ferocious demons was tens of thousands of feet tall, ferocious and terrifying, surrounded by an impenetrable aura of filth and blood, their eyes filled only with a final, devouring desire. They stared at each other, and eight world-destroying pressures collided between heaven and earth, instantly shattering space, creating crisscrossing ravines, and the rain of bones was forced upwards by the pressure, causing the dark blood-red sky to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Half-Heavenly Skeleton Cang Yuanmi still stands atop the sky, quietly overlooking everything. The ghostly blue flames in his empty eye sockets remain calm, without the slightest ripple, as if the scene of the world collapsing and all evils devouring each other is nothing more than the dust settling down.
"Now, only the eight of us remain. The life force of heaven and earth has been exhausted, and the resentment of humanity is weak. Only by devouring each other can we achieve the ultimate evil body and resist the Half-Heavenly Corpse!" The Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou spoke first, his nine vertical pupils sweeping over the other seven fierce demons. His voice was filled with the sorrow and violence of the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord.
"The strong prey on the weak, and the victor reigns supreme! Whoever can devour the remaining seven will be the evil lord of this apocalyptic world!" The Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm roared, his white silkworm body churning, and the power of devouring swept in all directions.
Without the slightest hesitation, the eight ferocious demons simultaneously lunged at each other, unleashing the most terrifying ultimate battle in the world.
The rotting corpse of the deep-sea monstrous god swept across the land, its countless black tentacles slashing like celestial blades at the Bone-Eating Nether Worm. The scarlet eyes atop the tentacles emitted deadly red light, their foul aura corroding the space, turning everything in its path to ashes. The Bone-Eating Nether Worm, its ten-thousand-foot-long body twisting and turning, its sharp teeth snapping shut, unleashing a burst of corrosive power, forcefully biting off several tentacles. Simultaneously, its venomous stinger pierced the monstrous god's body, the poison instantly flooding its flesh, causing it to rapidly decay and ooze blackish-yellow pus.
The evil god roared, its rotting corpse body suddenly contracting, tightly binding the Bone-Eating Nether Worm. Countless sharp teeth bit into the worm's body, gnawing at its flesh and essence. The Bone-Eating Nether Worm writhed wildly in pain, its sharp teeth frantically devouring the evil god's body. The two rolled and fought fiercely on the earth, sending fragments of flesh flying and filling the air with foul stench. The earth was smashed into a crater thousands of feet deep, and space itself continued to crumble.
The insect's body shattered, and dark green blood gushed out, mingling with the evil god's black blood to form a poisonous pool on the ground. The pool water, filled with broken bones and bits of flesh, bubbled and corroded continuously.
The Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm pounced on the Sand Skeleton Tyrant, its icy chill sweeping across the land, instantly freezing the desert into a perpetual freeze. The Sand Skeleton Tyrant manipulated the sand and bones, forming a gigantic skeletal fist that slammed into the Ancient Emperor of the Ice Silkworm. The sand and ice collided, producing deafening roars; the sand froze, and the ice shattered. Taking advantage of the moment, the Ancient Emperor of the Ice Silkworm opened its massive maw, unleashing its devouring power, swallowing the countless bones and sand into its belly. At the same time, its silkworm body coiled around the Sand Skeleton Tyrant, its countless proboscis teeth tearing at its sand skeleton.
The bones shattered in the mouthparts, making a series of fine "crackling" sounds, and sand and bone powder were inhaled together.
The Sand Tyrant roared, its body transforming into a sky full of yellow sand, trying to break free from the entanglement. However, the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor's chilling aura froze the yellow sand, its mandibles biting firmly into its core, forcibly pulling it out of the yellow sand and swallowing it into its belly.
The moment the core was swallowed, the vast expanse of yellow sand collapsed instantly, scattering across the ground and never able to coalesce again.
After devouring the Sand Skeleton Tyrant, the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor's aura surged once more, turning to pounce on the Wood Soul Evil Lord. The Wood Soul Evil Lord manipulated billions of demonic trees, their surfaces covered in poisonous thorns and sharp teeth, frantically coiling around the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor. The Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor unleashed a burst of icy energy, freezing all the demonic trees, then swallowed the Wood Soul Evil Lord whole, further increasing his evil power.
The demonic wood shattered in the cold air, and the wood chips and shattered souls were swallowed into the giant maw.
On the other side, the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou clashed with the Bone-Armored Barbarian God. Chonglou's Soul-Shattering Demon Blade slashed at the Barbarian God, his soul threads binding its spirit, attempting to shred it to pieces. The Bone-Armored Barbarian God, clad in heavy bone armor and possessing immense strength, swung his bone fists fiercely at Chonglou, each punch causing mountains to crumble and the earth to shatter. Chonglou used his speed to maneuver, his nine vertical pupils unleashing a soul explosion that shattered the Barbarian God's bone armor. Then, his demon blade pierced the Barbarian God's skull, devouring its soul and body.
Bone armor shattered and flew everywhere. The barbarian god's head was cleaved open by the demonic blade, and soul fire gushed out from the crack, which was then absorbed by Chonglou in one gulp.
The Void Rift Beast, with its ethereal form, traversed spatial rifts, ambushing other ferocious creatures. It was adept at tearing apart space, pulling its opponents into the void to strangle them. The Deep Sea Corpse Evil God and the Bone-Eating Nether Worm perished together, devouring each other until their bodies completely melted, transforming into a pure evil force, which the Void Rift Beast seized the opportunity to devour.
The two evil forces collided and merged within the Soul Splitter's body, making its form even more illusory and violent.
Finally, the battle between the eight ferocious beings entered its final stage, leaving only three top-tier beings: the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm, Chonglou the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord, and the Void Soul-Splitting Beast.
The three malevolent beings exuded overwhelming power, confronting each other. The air between heaven and earth seemed to freeze, the rain of corpses stopped, and space stood still, with only three world-destroying auras colliding wildly.
"Both of you, turn into nourishment!"
The Void Rift Beast launched the first attack, its figure vanishing instantly and appearing behind Chonglou through space, its spatial claws slashing fiercely at Chonglou's head. Chonglou was prepared, his demonic blade turning to block, the soul threads colliding with the power of space, producing a series of booming sounds, and space instantly shattering into chaos.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm pounced, its devouring power sweeping across both sides, attempting to engulf them both. Chonglou and the Soul-Splitting Beast were forced to join forces to briefly fight against the Ancient Emperor of the Ice Silkworm, but the three were evenly matched in strength, and the battle became increasingly bloody and terrifying.
The Demon Blade of Chonglou cleaved through the body of the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor, and black blood gushed out.
The Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor bit through Chonglou's arm and devoured his soul power;
The Soul Rift Beast tore apart the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor's body, and the power of space shredded its flesh and blood;
The Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor devoured a portion of the Soul Rift Beast's illusory form and absorbed its spatial origin.
The three beings tore at each other, devoured each other, and cleaved each other apart. Their physical bodies were constantly shattered and rapidly repaired, while their souls were constantly damaged and frantically absorbed each other's soul power. The bloodshed and terror between heaven and earth reached their peak. Fragments of flesh, bone fragments, soul threads, spatial fragments, and icy foul air mixed together, forming a deathly chaos. The dark blood-red sky was stained pitch black, and the earth completely collapsed, turning into a void of turbid water.
After an unknown period of fierce fighting, the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou was the first to succumb. His soul was shredded by the combined forces of the Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor and the Soul-Splitting Beast, and his body was devoured by the two. His nine vertical pupils were gouged out and bitten off one by one, his demonic blade shattered, his soul fire extinguished, and he was completely transformed into nourishment.
Subsequently, the Ancient Emperor of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm and the Void Rift Soul Beast engaged in a final showdown. The Ice Silkworm's devouring power countered the Void Rift Soul Beast's spatial tearing. The cold air froze the space, and the space shredded the silkworm's body. The two fought with their last bit of strength, devouring each other's core essence.
The Silkworm King's massive jaws bit into the Soul-Splitting Beast's essence, while the Soul-Splitting Beast's sharp claws pierced the Silkworm King's heart. At the same time, both emitted a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and their bodies simultaneously disintegrated, melted, and merged.
Finally, with a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the two evil beings completely merged, no longer distinguishable from one another. All their flesh, soul, evil power, origin, talent, and abilities were intertwined, transforming into a boundless black and red turbid stream.
Within the turbid current, all the malevolent fragments of bones, scales, tentacles, demonic blades, ice, and spatial fragments coalesced, constantly rotating, compressing, and condensing. The foul air, blood energy, skeletal energy, and shattered souls of heaven and earth were all absorbed into it, and the light of the dark blood-red sky was completely devoured.
Half-Heavenly Skeleton·Cang Yuanmi remained quietly overlooking the scene. The dark golden wisps of smoke in his empty eye sockets finally stirred slightly, but he still made no move, simply watching everything unfold silently.
The black and red turbid flow continued to compress, eventually condensing into a gigantic evil cocoon spanning tens of thousands of miles in the center of the world, hanging below the dark blood-red sky and above the rotting earth.
This giant cocoon is extremely unique. It is not an ordinary cocoon, but is woven together from countless ferocious skeletons, scales, tentacles, and soul threads. The cocoon is blackish-red all over, and its surface is covered with viscous, bloody filth. Wherever the filth drips, the space instantly collapses and turns into chaotic nothingness.
The cocoon was covered with countless scarlet single eyes, each a manifestation of the previous malevolent gaze. These eyes slowly rotated, radiating a greedy, violent, cunning, and bloodthirsty light, staring intently at the world, as if poised to burst forth and devour everything. Some eyes wept, but not tears; they shed soul blood. Others split open, revealing tiny, sharp teeth that gently chewed.
At the top of the giant cocoon grows a thousand-foot-long bone spur, crystal clear yet bearing the marks of pitch-black bone. Embedded at the tip of the spur is a dark blue core, within which burns an inextinguishable evil fire—the fusion of the frozen essence of the Myriad Devouring Ice Silkworm Ancient Emperor and the soul fire of the Soul-Shattering Demon Lord Chonglou. The flames sometimes freeze, sometimes burst into flames, utterly bizarre.
From the bottom of the giant cocoon, countless black tentacles extend, deeply embedded in the crumbling earth, constantly drawing in the remaining foul air and evil power of the earth's veins. The tentacles are covered with sharp teeth, and occasionally fragments of souls seep out from the tentacles, emitting mournful howls, before being sucked back into the cocoon.
On the surface of the cocoon, huge bulges would occasionally rise, beneath which a twisted body, fused with malevolent energy, would writhe. With each writhing, the aura of the giant cocoon would intensify, deepening the oppressive atmosphere and terror in the world. The bulges would sometimes transform into malevolent heads, sometimes into sharp claws, and sometimes into fangs, ferocious and terrifying, as if they would burst out of the cocoon at any moment and descend upon the ultimate evil master.
What's even more unique is that the giant cocoon is surrounded by a layer of spatial ripples, within which surges chaotic and turbid currents that can distort space and isolate all probes. Even Yu Moyan's divine sense cannot penetrate the cocoon to see what's inside. Occasionally, fragmented human faces, claws, and eyeballs flash by within the ripples, disappearing in an instant, sending chills down one's spine.
The giant cocoon hangs between heaven and earth, slowly rotating. With each rotation, it absorbs the disintegrating power and foul air of heaven and earth, making the cocoon body more solid, the single eye brighter, and the evil fire on the bone spur more intense.
The rain of bones continued to beat against the giant cocoon, producing a dull, sticky sound. The single eye of the dark blood-red sky still looked down indifferently. Half-Heavenly Skeleton Cangyuan stood at the top of the sky, silently watching from beginning to end, as if waiting for the moment when this ultimate being of all evils would break out of the cocoon.
The world fell into complete silence, with only the faint sound of the giant cocoon wriggling and the hissing of foul air flowing. An oppressive, terrifying, and suffocating atmosphere enveloped the entire collapsing world.
Yu Moyan held Jiang Duyue's hand as they looked at the terrifying giant cocoon that stretched for thousands of miles. Their fingertips were icy cold, and an unprecedented sense of solemnity welled up in their hearts.
He knew this was not the end, but the beginning of something far more terrifying.
When the giant cocoon breaks open and the ultimate evil lord descends, no living being in this world will be able to stop his march toward devouring all things.
The silent observation of Banque Tianhai·Cangyuanmi cast an even deeper and more unfathomable shadow over this final catastrophe.
