“Yao…”

Madman Chu had a look of sorrow on his face, but it was not due to his injuries. Instead, it was because he saw that girl again in the illusion. Of everything in the world, only that girl could cause his will to waver.

“H-how is that possible?!” Everyone else was stunned in place.

Madman Chu’s injuries might look incredibly shocking, but his aura did not seem to weaken at all. He still exuded an incredibly dangerous aura.

That was the collective attack of everyone there. Madman Chu just stood there but still managed to survive. It caused everyone’s spirits to drop.

“Something’s wrong. There’s something wrong with his body!” The drunkard suddenly had a stern look on his face as his eyes widened suddenly. He stared at Madman Chu’s wound.

He noticed that even though the wounds still bled, they felt fake. The blood seemed to be like an image that merely flowed based on a fixed way. It was different from a regular person.

The Undying thought about it and said, “That’s right. He’s already lost his actual body. The body he has right now is a fake one that is condensed from the gray mist and his will. It exists thanks to Madman Chu’s will, so it can’t be called an actual body!”

However, everyone’s hearts sank, even more, when they heard that.

After fighting for so long, they were not even able to eliminate a fake body.

However, the drunkard’s words that followed filled everyone with confidence, “Don’t worry, since he doesn’t have a physical body, he’s just like a spirit without any roots. He will get weaker and weaker.”

“A physical body?”

Madman Chu was once again back to his arrogant demeanor as he laughed, “I’ve long since given up on that thing.”

He merged with Wisdom during the last lifetime, giving up on his physical body. In his eyes, a body was just a drawback. With a physical body, he would forever live under Wisdom. Only by giving up on his body and turning into the will of the heavens would he rule over all.

The world was his body!

However, the drunkard was right. Madman Chu’s strength was constantly being used. Every time he used his power, it would diminish. Even if his power still looked terrifying, he was still using up a lot. His injuries were not light either.

Madman Chu’s sharp gaze swept across everyone, especially Nanan, Qin Manyun, and the others. He did not say anything as his body suddenly moved, disappearing.

Qin Manyun and the others were taken aback before they said anxiously, “After him!”

Even though they did not know what Madman Chu wanted to do, there was no way they would allow him to do whatever he wanted. Everyone there knew that they needed to fight him while he was weak. Since Madman Chu tried to run, they gave chase.

Madman Chu was incredibly quick. They could no longer see where he was. In a flash, he transcended countless planets, traversing the star regions.

Other than Xiao Chengfeng, Nanan, and the others, everyone else were left in the dust.

Everyone was more and more anxious as they chased after him because they noticed that Madman Chu headed for the Volcanoes of Calamity. Everyone knew what was there.

“Physical body, he’s going for his body from the past life!”

Xiao Chengfeng rode his sword as his sword aura ripped space apart, going immensely quickly.

Yet, even with the Divine Years Tortoise’s powers helping everyone, they could not catch up to Madman Chu. They were forced to look on as Madman Chu entered the volcanoes.

He stopped exactly where his body was sealed, and raised his hand lightly.

That massive seal ripped off like paper. The earth seemed to bloat up as if something was about to burst out.

The next moment, the skeleton shot out of the ground, floating in front of Madman Chu.

The entire skeleton was covered in a grayish-black aura. It let out an incredibly foul stench, causing Madman Chu to frown.

“Hmph, Wisdom used everything to suppress me. It even tainted my old body!”

Madman Chu coldly snorted as he pointed at the skeleton’s forehead. The grayish-black matter quickly fell off, and the skeleton regained that vibrant golden glow. Waves of runes flowed out like webs, surrounding it.

Nanan and the others continued to rush over. They wanted to launch their attacks on Madman Chu right away, but were stopped by those golden runes.

Xiao Chengfeng said in shock, “Is he preparing to fuse with his old body?”

“No matter what, he has to stop him!” Shi Tuqin said seriously. The uneasy feeling in her heart intensified.

Just as everyone panicked, Madman Chu slowly opened his mouth. After that, they saw those golden runes fly into his mouth. Following that, even the skeleton turned into golden dust and flew in.

He swallowed his old skeleton!

Boom!

A wave of power that was many times stronger than before suddenly erupted from Madman Chu’s body. The skies seemed to crumble as they suddenly turned blood red!

At that moment, Madman Chu was incredibly terrifying. Even the skies changed. It was the sign of an evil god descending.

The drunkard and the others who just arrived stared at the scene with widened eyes. Their mouths were gaping as they could not stop themselves from clenching their hands anxiously. The power coming from Madman Chu’s body made them feel like they could not fight back.

Madman Chu was already unbeatable before, but his skills soared at that moment. How could they fight back?

The whole sky of the Origins Realm turned blood-red. Even the Ancient Forbidden Realm’s skies turned red. Waves of strange and horrifying power filled the world. Whether it was a weak cultivator or a regular commoner, all of them could feel the danger of an apocalypse.

In Li Nianfan’s residence, Li Nianfan, who faced Daji and Fire Phoenix, could not help but place his chess piece down. He looked up at the sky. The blood-red sky was like a massive beast baring its teeth, deeply unsettling him.

Daji and Fire Phoenix exchanged a look. They got up and looked in a direction. They seemed to be able to see where Madman Chu was from the great distances.

Li Nianfan could not help but frown, “What happened? Why did the sky turn like this?”

“There’s a very terrifying power currently rising. The skies changed because of that. It’s a calamity for the whole cultivation world,” As Daji said that, a sliver of worry was in her voice.

“A calamity for the whole world?” Li Nianfan’s heart shook a little.

He already felt like the world was a bit unsafe. The skies were constantly gloomy, deeply unsettling him.

After that, Nanan, Qin Manyun, and the others left the residence. Even though they acted like they were just exterminating evil, Li Nianfan acutely felt like something was different. That was because exterminating evil could have just been left to the Heavenly Palace. Nanan and the others leaving the residence could only show that the situation was already incredibly bad. Even the Heavenly Palace could not hold it back and needed their help.

At that moment, even the sky turned red. The situation was naturally so bad that nothing needed to be said.
