Bai could understand why the Sword Palace’s palace master attempted such an attack.

The reason being was that if they allowed the ootheca to continue breeding Abyssal monsters, eventually, nobody in the infinite universe would be able to handle the powerhouses bred by the ootheca.

Therefore, he chose to undertake the risk of attacking. He knew that the level of risk was high, but he still disregarded the risk and attacked it before it progressed to the next round of breeding, in which it would breed even stronger Abyssal monsters; he attempted to wipe out the root of the problem.

Unfortunately, his ending was undoubtedly tragic.

Sword Palace’s palace master’s death made it obvious to the people that the ootheca could not be destroyed at all.

His death made many people realize suddenly that even someone who was as powerful as the palace master, or even the Dragon Emperor, were insignificant and helpless in the presence of certain entities.

Many people even felt intense fear now, as they knew very well that their abilities were far from reaching the palace master’s.

It felt like they had always had a strong man supporting them if the sky fell. However, the strong man was now dead, and the sky was still falling.

On the Sword Alliance’s side, even though they already found out from Lin Huang about how terrifying the ootheca was, Lin Xin, Lin Xuan and the others did not snap back to their senses for a long time.

Grimace, on the other hand, had been staring at the Sword Palace’s palace master’s crushed corpse. To be exact, he was staring at that sword.

However, Bai noticed his subtle actions instantly.

“Don’t you even think about it. We can’t take that!”

Grimace stared at Bai angrily. “You’re such a party-pooper.”

People from the Sword Palace went over to collect the corpse while the two of them chatted. Those people conveniently took that infinite supreme treasure-level sword away.

After that, a heavy atmosphere seemed to linger over everyone present.

At midnight of the 41st day, the ootheca began to breed again.

This time, its breeding routine was reset again.

It only bred a single Abyssal monster, but that monster’s aura had skyrocketed once again.

Almost everyone had a terrible expression on their faces when they saw the appearance of this monster.

This was especially true for some of the powerful dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses. They could clearly sense from its aura that the monster’s combat strength had surpassed the Sword Palace’s palace master who had just died!

“A monster that has mastered a trillion chaotic cosmoseses…” Even Dragon Emperor’s pupils shrunk.

It was a dark purple, 12-headed python beast. Its 12 heads were of dragon origin, and they had various forms. The reason they called it a python beast was because it did not have dragon claws. Beneath its many heads, it had a thick snake-like body.

It felt as if the original python’s head had been severed, and 12 heads from different dragon beasts had been sewn onto its body instead.

Dragon Emperor looked terrible. Apart from his speculation that he was a powerhouse on the same level as that monster, he looked terrible because of the monster’s 12 dragon heads.

Before the Abyssal monster even did anything, Dragon Emperor struck first.

His right arm turned into a golden dragon claw that tore through the air.

The 12 dragon heads on the python beast lifted their gazes at the same time, releasing deafeningly furious roars at the giant claw.

The giant golden dragon claw merely paused for a second before continuing to suppress the monster like a mountain.

A moment later, the python beast’s 12 dragon heads exploded one after the other.

By the time the dragon claw had pressed down completely, all 12 of the python beast’s heads had exploded. The headless carcass was soon crushed into a pile of mush.

“This guy’s ability is not bad,” Grimace secretly commented through voice transmission to Lin Xin and the others.

“He should have mastered some three trillion chaotic cosmoses or so. That python beast had only mastered about one trillion chaotic cosmoses, so it makes sense that this would be the end result.” Bai saw through Dragon Emperor’s combat strength.

“What level of ability are the both of you at now? More powerful than the Dragon Emperor?” Lin Xin could not help but ask.

Hearing that question, Lin Xuan and the other few Sword Servants pricked their ears.

“Slightly more powerful than him, I guess,” Bai said honestly.

“What about your Primordium?” Lin Xuan who was standing to the side, asked further.

“Slightly more powerful than his clone, I guess,” Grimace answered.

He seemed to be unwilling to expose Bai’s and his own real abilities.

“I don’t know about the others, but I’ve just surpassed 20 trillion chaotic cosmoses recently.” Bai glanced at Grimace and answered that question honestly anyway.

In reality, the speed of his ability elevation was already fast enough throughout that half a year period. He had seized the opportunity provided by the frequent opening of mystic territories throughout the half a year period, and hunted inside them by creating tens of thousands of clones.

His Primordium stayed inside Lin Huang’s Kingdom, continuously refining those Abyssal monsters’ Kingdoms (which had been cleansed by Lin Huang).

However, the time provided to him was still too short.

One had to know that the combat strength of Bai’s Primordium had been on par with Xue Luo a couple of months ago.

Now that several months had passed, his level of ability had surpassed Dragon Emperor’s.

Nevertheless, there was still a large gap in comparison with the Outer Gods under Aza’s command.

The heaviness in Lin Xin’s heart did not dissipate at all when she heard that.

The reason being was that, even if Bai and the others’ Primordiums came, they could only take on the monsters bred by the ootheca during the next round.

Although Dragon Emperor had emerged victorious in this round brilliantly, and he even gave some of the people present hope, most of them knew that, from this round onward, apart from him, nobody else was eligible to fight with these Abyssal monsters.

A small number of them knew that Dragon Emperor’s ability was only sufficient to handle this round of the ootheca’s breeding.

When the monsters were strengthened during the next round, his ability would no longer be sufficient.

Dragon Emperor’s overwhelming victory in this battle did not improve the atmosphere much.

Over the next few days, the atmosphere around the ootheca remained gloomy.

Everyone watched Dragon Emperor attack over and over again in silence. They watched him kill the monsters bred by the ootheca.

However, on the 44th midnight, everyone finally noticed that the battle was starting to become difficult for him.

This time, the ootheca bred eight Abyssal monsters.

One of them was a monster that was similar to a worm that had mastered the same number of chaotic cosmoses but, as it kept clinging onto him, Dragon Emperor had no time or chance to take care of the remaining seven monsters at all.

If Bai did not initiate his attack in time, the spectators might all have been killed by the other seven Abyssal monsters.

The blood-colored wings on Bai’s back transformed into long whips. They killed the seven Abyssal monsters instantly.

After that, only the prolonged battle between the Dragon Emperor and the white worm remained.

The spectators retreated far away.

“Retreat and don’t stay too close to watch,” Bai said to the people through voice transmission directly, “The reason being is that the coming battles will get more and more out of control. Also, as soon as a monster of that level goes out of control, one attack is all that it will take to kill all of the spectators around here. We might not have the time to prevent that from happening.”

If someone else said that, these people might have resisted.

However, the words had been uttered by Bai, who had just killed seven Abyssal monsters instantly. All of the people chose to believe his words.

Even if a small number of them were upset and wanted to stay behind, they did not dare to when they saw everyone was leaving.

After Bai spoke, almost all of the spectators retreated within ten breaths of time.

On the Sword Alliance’s side, even Lin Xin and Lin Xuan left. Bai and Grimace were the only ones remaining in the vicinity.

On the Dragon Island’s side, apart from Dragon Emperor, the rest left as well.

All of the people from the Sword Palace retreated with the palace master’s corpse.

On Snow Domain’s side, Xue Luo left with all of her members.

Seeing that these top organizations had retreated, the remaining smaller organizations ran away even faster.

Meanwhile, on Heaven’s Secret’s side, Old Man Heaven’s Secret was the only one left. He watched the battle from afar.
