Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 44 Devouring Gods and Demons

Mo Yun didn't look at this person.

The Ten Bright Swords were drawn, their silver blades tracing an arc of light. The sword light stretched from one end of the sea of ​​blood to the other, splitting the sea of ​​blood in two. The blood on both sides surged in opposite directions, revealing the dark red rock layers that had been deposited on the seabed for countless years. The blood tried to close up, but was blocked by the sword intent. It could only surge and roar at the edge of the cut, unable to cross the invisible boundary.

Thousands of demonic cultivators stood frozen in place. Their demonic arts, blood lotus, and protective demonic energy were as fragile as paper before this sword. The aftershocks of the sword light merely swept past their location before all of these demonic cultivators lost their lives, their heads severed from their bodies.

Thousands of corpses fell from the blood lotus and crashed into the split sea of ​​blood, splashing up dozens of bloody waves.

Mo Yun sheathed his sword, raised his hand, and with a slight clench of his five fingers, boundless blood surged into the sky from the cleaved sea of ​​blood, transforming into a crimson river that flowed back into the Milky Way.

The life essence contained in the blood of countless living beings, the residual power essence in the corpses of countless ferocious beasts, and the soul power crystals condensed from the resentment of countless fallen warriors stained the Milky Way axis with a faint layer of blood light.

One-tenth, two-tenths, three-tenths—the surface of the Blood Sea dropped at a visible speed, exposing the seabed rock layers, and the dark red rocks shattered rapidly in the air.

Forty percent, fifty percent, the area of ​​the Blood Sea shrank by nearly half, and the islands that were originally submerged in blood reappeared on the surface of the water, with countless white bones piled up on them.

When the last wisp of blood essence was extracted, Mo Yun stopped.

Above the sea of ​​blood, all was deathly silent. The remaining demonic cultivators hid at the edge of the sea of ​​blood, watching the golden-robed youth ride the waves away, and not one of them dared to utter a sound.

After leaving the sea of ​​blood, Mo Yun sank deep into the earth.

The primordial land has nine layers: the first is topsoil, the second is rock, the third is mineral veins, the fourth is subterranean fire, the fifth is lava, the sixth is the earth's core, the seventh is the earth's marrow, the eighth is the earth's essence, and the ninth is the earth's center.

Ordinary cultivators can only reach the fourth level, while Great Luo Golden Immortals can go as far as the fifth level. Mo Yun went down all the way, passing through the floating soil, through the rock layers, through the mineral veins, through the earth fire, through the lava, and through the earth's core, before stopping in the earth marrow layer.

Earth marrow is a liquid spiritual substance formed from the condensed essence of the earth. It is amber in color and viscous like honey. It is the source of the earth's vitality and the foundation for the growth of mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees.

Mo Yun extracted 30% of the Earth's core layer, and the amber-colored core gushed out from the cracks in the rock strata, converging into a long underground river that flowed continuously into the Milky Way Axis.

As the earth's core is incorporated into the painting, the land of the Star Sea World becomes even more substantial, and the outlines of mountains and rivers begin to emerge on the surfaces of the still-forming stars.

Thirty percent is the limit; any more would damage the foundation of the primordial land. Mo Yun dared not go too far, as the Heavenly Dao's favor towards him had been rapidly depleted by this series of plundering.

Mo Yun could feel the invisible gaze from the sky growing colder and colder, but he didn't care. Heavenly favor was something that could be lost or not. Once he broke through to the Creation Realm, what could the Heavenly Dao do to him?

Deep within the earth, Mo Yun also extracted layers of mineral deposits: veins of Taiyi Divine Gold, veins of Shoushan Copper, veins of Kunwu Stone, sedimentary layers of Tianhe Star Sand, veins of Earth Fire Crystallization... Countless kinds of divine gold and strange iron, both known and unknown, were uprooted by Mo Yun from the depths of the earth and stored in the Milky Way Axis.

In the four seas, Mo Yun drew upon boundless seawater and the treasures of sea beasts. The remains of a true dragon in the East Sea, the fallen feathers of a phoenix in the South Sea, the shattered bones of a white tiger in the West Sea, and the broken armor of a black tortoise in the North Sea—countless treasures sunk to the bottom of the sea were collected by him one by one. Mo Yun also extracted thirty percent of the essence of the seawater, condensing it into a fist-sized azure pearl, crystal clear, within which countless marine creatures could be faintly seen swimming.

In the sea of ​​stars, Mo Yun has smelted countless starlight and celestial bodies. The Milky Way Axis is the carrier of the starry world, and smelting the essence of stars is instinctive for it.

Mo Yun sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​stars for a thousand years, melting all the nebulae that had not yet taken shape at the edge of the sea of ​​stars, the star cores that had just condensed, and the dead star remains into the Milky Way axis.

The number of stars in the Starry Sky World has nearly doubled in this millennium, and the star trails have interwoven into an increasingly dense web of light.

Beneath the sea of ​​stars lies a sea of ​​wind, thunder, and clouds, a layer of chaotic clouds squeezed between the sea of ​​stars and the sky at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth and the differentiation of purity and turbidity.

Amidst the clouds, wind and thunder clashed, the gale was like a knife, and the lightning was like a dragon. Mo Yun sliced ​​away a third of this sea of ​​wind and thunder.

With a single strike of the Ten Bright Swords, a huge gap was neatly cut open in the sea of ​​clouds. The wind, thunder, and clouds within the gap were compressed by Mo Yun with great magical power into a precious pearl entwined with wind and thunder, which was then absorbed into the Milky Way Axis.

This series of plundering almost completely depleted the abundant divine favor on Mo Yun's body, and he could feel that the Heavenly Dao's attitude towards him had turned into a subtle rejection.

Once the favor of Heaven is exhausted, if Mo Yun tries to draw upon the source from the primordial world again, he will suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

After scavenging, Mo Yun began to take stock of his spoils. The rare and precious materials were piled up like mountains, the precious medicines and spiritual roots were countless, and the rare iron and divine metals were so plentiful that even the Nine Nether Cauldron could not contain them. The corpses of divine beasts were enough for the peacock to evolve into a completely new species in the human realm. However, after searching through all his spoils, Mo Yun found almost no innate spiritual treasures.

The Second Era has begun, and the innate spiritual treasures scattered throughout the primordial world during the First Era have long been plundered by the newly risen powerhouses.

Those remnant souls of chaotic gods and demons who survived the great calamity of creation, those innate saints born in this era, and those rising stars who emerged during the great calamity—everyone is searching for their own opportunity. There are only so many innate spiritual treasures; once one is taken, there is one less. Mo Yun arrived too late.

If we can't find it, then we'll just steal it.

Mo Yun sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​stars, calculating with his eyes closed. The secrets of heaven were chaotic, but for him, who possessed the Great Dao of Time and Space, they were not without clues.

Those chaotic gods and demons who survived from the great calamity of creation to the present day are all entangled with the karma of chaos. Following the threads of karma, Mo Yun captured one trace after another from the gaps in the secrets of heaven.

The first one is Devouring Gods and Demons.

The Devouring God and Demon suffered severe injuries during the Great Calamity of Creation. Its physical body was almost split in two by Pangu's axe light, and most of its essence was lost.

At the end of the First Era, when the ferocious beast race was wiped out, the corpses of countless ferocious beasts and warriors of all races were scattered throughout the primordial world. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Devouring God devoured a massive amount of corpses and barely recovered from his injuries.

The Devouring God-Demon has now established a training ground in a deep mountain on the edge of the Eastern Region, and his cultivation has recovered to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

When Mo Yun descended upon the deep mountains, the Devouring God Demon was in seclusion. His dojo was hidden inside a huge mountain belly, which he had hollowed out with his devouring power. The four walls were inlaid with countless white bones, layer upon layer, piled up from the bottom of the mountain belly all the way to the dome. There were human bones, animal bones, the giant bones of ferocious beasts, and the remains of divine beasts.
