I Can Extract Divine Power

Ahead, the eerie palace floated in the air, but half of it was shattered, resembling a crumbling ruin.

If anyone else had been there to hear Shen Bai’s words and see the palace’s miserable state, they would have broken out in a cold sweat.

This was redefining the word "draw."

His opponent was in such a wretched state, yet he called it a damn draw? What kind of nonsense was that?

The dilapidated, eerie palace continued to float, its aura of rot and decay undiminished. But the two scarlet glows in its windows, like a pair of monstrous eyes, were a startling sight.

Its hundreds of original abilities had vanished, interwoven into nothingness.

But then, something strange happened at the eerie palace’s main gate.

A terrifying Suction Power emanated from the eerie palace’s gate.

Violent gusts of wind howled like steel blades scraping against bone. Even Shen Bai’s Flawless Ten Layers Body began to show tiny cracks.

"Oh? A new trick?" Shen Bai’s eyes lit up.

If the palace only had those hundreds of abilities, its so-called invincibility against those of the same rank meant nothing to Shen Bai.

The eerie palace’s defeat would only be a matter of time.

But things were different now. From the looks of it, this was a new ability.

Shen Bai could feel that the terrifying Suction Power carried an unstoppable might.

All the surrounding ruins and streets were drawn in by this terrifying Suction Power, pulled toward the eerie palace’s gate.

In just an instant, the ruins were gone, leaving only empty space behind.

Shen Bai felt the Suction Power as well; it felt as if even he was about to be sucked in.

WHOOSH!

A violent gust of wind howled.

Shen Bai once again unleashed the Anti-Demon Blood Sword Dance and the Vajra Dharma Form Fist.

Enhanced by various Divine Powers and accompanied by a piercing gale, his attacks flew wildly toward the eerie palace.

’A special move?’

’Every single one of my attacks is a special move.’

’And I can use special moves like these over and over again—so many times that even I think it’s shameless.’

Shen Bai had thought this attack would be enough to destroy the eerie palace.

But what happened next surprised him.

The eerie palace took control of all his attacks and actually sucked them all through its gate.

BOOM!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted from within the eerie palace.

But this time, the attack failed to damage the eerie palace at all.

’Interesting,’ Shen Bai thought.

The eerie palace’s attack reminded him of a novel he had read before.

In it, a villain had the ability to suck people into his stomach, where they would melt into a pool of pus by Noon.

The scene before him seemed quite fitting.

As Shen Bai was thinking this, the Suction Power suddenly intensified. He found himself being lifted off his feet by the terrifying force.

Just as Shen Bai was about to figure out a solution, the already terrifying Suction Power instantly increased tenfold once more.

WHOOSH!

With a gust of wind, Shen Bai turned into a streak of light and vanished from the empty street.

...

"Lord Shen... was eaten?" Yao Long stared, completely stunned.

He wasn’t the only one; the others were all frozen in shock as well.

Although they were far away, their vision as Cultivators allowed them to easily see what was happening inside.

Originally, Shen Bai had the upper hand and even had a chance to destroy the eerie palace.

But just when everyone thought Shen Bai would win, something strange occurred.

The eerie palace, like a vicious beast, had swallowed Shen Bai whole.

Yao Long’s face darkened, and he prepared to lead the others on a rescue mission.

But Zhang He stopped him.

Yao Long frowned. "What is it?"

Zhang He pointed at the eerie palace ahead. "Lord Yao, don’t be hasty. Look at the palace. It seems to have stalled in mid-air. Lord Shen is probably fine."

"If something had happened to him, the palace would have come for us by now."

Yao Long paused for a moment, then observed it carefully.

The palace had indeed stopped in mid-air, and... it seemed to be trembling slightly.

Not only that, but waves of rumbling sounds were coming from inside the palace.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Yao Long’s forehead.

"Don’t tell me... Lord Shen is fighting inside?"

"He’s doing more than just fighting."

Zhang He said, "From the looks of it, the eerie palace seems to be on the losing end."

As the eerie palace trembled, clouds of dust continuously fell from its exterior.

Its current state suggested it was more than just losing.

"Then let’s just keep observing. We shouldn’t be a burden to Lord Shen," Yao Long said helplessly.

Ever since the Nanxing Prefecture Observatory was founded, this was the first time he had ever felt so useless.

As soon as the thought appeared, Yao Long slapped his own face.

’No, that’s not right. Anyone else in my place would be just as useless.’

Yes, that thought was the correct one.

No matter who it was, even if the two Landlords came in person, they would have no choice but to stand here and watch Lord Shen’s performance.

No exceptions.

The others watched Yao Long slap himself. They all knew what he was thinking and turned back to the palace with trepidation in their hearts.

...

「Inside the distant, eerie palace.」

The moment Shen Bai passed through the stone gate, he noticed something was wrong.

It was pitch-black inside, with only a few scattered points of light reflecting faintly.

Waves of a sinister, cold aura emanated from the palace’s depths.

Before Shen Bai could react, the sinister, cold aura transformed into chains that whipped toward him.

"Trying to chain me?"

Shen Bai swung Cold Moon.

Streaks of Sword Qi erupted with terrifying power, annihilating the sinister aura before him.
