The divine power also increased very little.
It was all 250,000-fold divine power.
Qingtian endured the backlash and forcibly used divine power to disperse the void crawlers around him.
However, after the collapse and erosion of the surrounding void, countless void crawlers crawled out from within.
The originally intact s.p.a.ce became riddled with holes.
Moreover, within these openings, countless void crawlers continued to emerge.
The first to suffer was the expert of the Four Tribulation realm.
He was a Scattered Tribulation expert, and coupled with the heavy injuries inflicted by Dylan previously, he couldn’t hold on anymore.
His entire being was submerged in the ocean of void crawlers.
After the crawlers besieged and eroded him, not even a trace of aura was left.
Qingtian watched in horror.
Despair!
Despair that emanated from the depths of his soul.
How could he be so unlucky, losing his life so easily on a random mission?
He was a Universe Master with infinite possibilities!
He was a Universe Master who had only recently reached Four Tribulations.
He had every hope of reaching the Five Tribulation realm.
But alas, he was about to Fall.
Jian Wushuang swallowed hard.
This time, it seemed he couldn’t find an answer.
Originally, he had thought that at the very least, he would see Emperor Babidi.
But he didn’t even catch a glimpse of the other party’s face.
Losing the avatar clone wasn’t regrettable, but it was regrettable for his plans.
They had just begun and already met with defeat.
The void crawlers piled up like mountains, and Jian Wushuang casually used the Sword Intent of the Starry Sky to kill those mountain-like void crawlers.
But they couldn’t be completely killed.
The lowest level of the flying boat.
“Sir, they can’t hold on much longer!” Dylan looked at the sky and then at Babidi.
Babidi remained calm and composed.
“That guy with the blue aura is a bit strange!” Babidi’s eyes revealed greed.
He stared at Jian Wushuang and felt increasingly uneasy.
He saw that Jian Wushuang had the combat power of a Universe Master.
But Babidi couldn’t sense any aura of Death within him.
Among the people under the sky, everyone except Jian Wushuang had already shown aura of Death.
Because of the crisis of Death, the aura of Death would arise.
Babidi needed this aura.
He could condense it into the power of Death and continuously gather it to the lower layer of the s.h.i.+p.
By now, his crystal ball had acc.u.mulated a considerable amount of Death power.
All this Death power came from the aura of Death emitted by Qingtian and the others.
But there was never any Death power emanating from Jian Wushuang.
This puzzled Babidi.
Whether it was the Tribulation Realm or the Universe Master, they would emit the aura of Death before facing death.
But why was there none from Jian Wushuang?
With a sweep of his hands, Qingtian and the others in the sky were instantly imprisoned.
Only Jian Wushuang remained free to move.
The void crawlers didn’t rush towards Qingtian and the others as expected but instead charged at Jian Wushuang.
This surprised Jian Wushuang!
Why were they suddenly targeting him?
Seeing Qingtian and the others restrained but not dead, Jian Wushuang gave up resistance.
He thought these people must be done for if they were being restrained.
So, he decided to play dead too!
The power of the Starry Sky could last for half an hour, and he immediately suppressed his own aura, returning to his normal state.
His figure submerged into the sea of insects!
Upon seeing this, Emperor Babidi let out a sinister smile. “I thought you could hold on longer, but it seems not!”
He sensed Jian Wushuang’s extraordinary strength, yet couldn’t fully comprehend it.
Thus, he didn’t want Jian Wushuang to Fall just like that.
With a flick of his finger, he imprisoned Jian Wushuang.
“Open the next layer, restore their Origin Sources to their peak!” Emperor Babidi exclaimed excitedly.
Dylan complied without error.
He couldn’t let these people Fall just like that.
The Scattered Tribulation expert didn’t matter. It was fine if he died. But the use of the Universe Masters was immense.
Emperor Babidi still needed to continuously extract the power of Death from these people.
With a slight movement, Jian Wushuang’s figure disappeared from the sea of insects.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was back inside the flying boat.
But they had descended into another layer.
This layer was different from the first one.
Here, there were six healing chambers.
At this moment, they were all soaking inside the healing chambers.
Their bodies were enveloped in green liquid.
Jian Wushuang felt incredibly comfortable in his body, a sensation he was familiar with.
At the same time, he understood what the green liquid around him was.
It was the source of life!
Could anyone feel uncomfortable soaking in it?
Crack!
Jian Wushuang glanced sideways.
One of the healing chambers had been broken from the inside.
The person who walked out was none other than Daoist Qingtian.
His aura had returned to its peak.
Seeing him recover, the other Universe Masters of the Three Tribulation realm also broke out of their chambers one after another.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to soak anymore, but once vitality reached its peak, soaking further would backlash against the body. They couldn’t afford such risks.
Moreover, they were in a strange s.p.a.ce where life and death were entirely out of their control. They had no leisure to seek small advantages.
Jian Wushuang was different.
He came here to see what the mastermind behind the scenes was up to, and to see if Emperor Babidi, who controlled the power of Death, was connected to Mie Sheng.
So, he wasn’t in a hurry at all; he just continued soaking.
Qingtian and the others also noticed that Jian Wushuang had been in the healing chamber all along, so they approached.
“He doesn’t seem to be injured, why is he still in treatment?”
The female Universe Master gazed at Jian Wushuang’s healing chamber with some surprise.
Daoist Qingtian shook his head, reminding, “Don’t worry about that now. He’s not on the same side as us. Let’s first see if there’s an exit nearby. We can’t afford to wait here and die!”
“Yes!”
The group split up to search, while Jian Wushuang continued soaking.
He absorbed the Life power to his heart’s content, then converted it into power of All Things.
The power of All Things transformed into the Universe Origin Source, which then became the power of the Starry Sky.
Though not entirely pure, something was better than nothing.
At least he could prolong his peak state.
And he could stall for time here. What threat would make Qingtian and the others not act?
The key was, his guess was right.
A cage appeared in the middle aisle of the chamber.
There was a layer of black cloth over the cage.
As for what was inside the cage, they didn’t know, nor did they want to know.
But they had no choice.
The black cloth disappeared, revealing the ent.i.ty inside the cage.
At that moment, the cage also began to weaken.
The ent.i.ty within, with sharp claws, tore the cage apart directly.
And crawled out from inside.
“The Yongheng Clan!” Qingtian exclaimed in shock.
There was no mistake.
It was indeed the Yongheng Clan.
Their aura was identical.
He had dealt with many strong members of the Yongheng Clan before and was familiar with their unique bloodline.
“This fellow…” Qingtian was about to say something comforting.
But the powerful member of the Yongheng Clan stood up straight, their body continuously expanding, ultimately evolving into a humanoid beast, their aura skyrocketing.
Roar!
With a roar, the powerful member of the Yongheng Clan directly attacked the nearest Three Tribulation Universe Master.
