I Can Extract Divine Power

The boundless grasslands and the soft hues of the clouds in the sky painted a beautiful landscape where heaven met earth, but within this canyon, not a single ray of light could penetrate.

A chilling, deathly stillness and a shudder-inducing aura permeated the entire canyon, causing anyone who glanced at it to tremble involuntarily.

"Go! There’s something terrifying down there."

As soon as Shen Bai said this, many people immediately reacted.

They were all Celestial Prides who had experienced life-and-death battles with their peers. In an environment like this, their nerves were stretched taut.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Celestial Prides all circulated the Qi in their bodies and shot into the air in an instant, flying toward the sky like a flock of wild geese.

The moment they took flight, the ground began to tremble violently. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the entire canyon started to shake madly, as if it had come alive.

From the ground, a giant hand erupted. It filled the canyon, churning up the earth as it viciously clawed its way out.

As the giant hand emerged, more of its body was revealed to everyone.

A giant sat up from within the canyon, its body exuding an aura of decay and death.

The giant’s eyes were a ghastly white, radiating an ancient and oppressive presence.

It was dressed in silk, but instead of looking magnificent, the attire created a starkly contrasting sense of ultimate decay.

Shen Bai now stood in the sky with the other Celestial Prides, studying the immense being before them.

Shen Bai could feel the aura emanating from the giant; even he was struck by a profound sense of powerlessness.

This was a realm far beyond his current stage. Not even Shen Bai could fathom what level it had reached.

Before his eyes, the divination trigram was changing frantically.

Gold, black, gold, black...

The constantly shifting colors signified an uncertainty between Fortune and Misfortune.

Shen Bai stroked his chin and said, "Why does this thing feel so familiar?"

The giant remained in its seated position, not yet having risen from the ground.

Its head was bowed as if it had been dead for a long time, but no one could ignore the terrifying aura emanating from its body.

Hearing Shen Bai’s words, Nan Huang asked, "Lord Shen, where have you seen it before?"

Shen Bai shook his head. "I just find it familiar but can’t quite recall what it is. However, it seems the situation has stabilized for now."

Before his eyes, the color of his Infinite Divination Skill turned gold, indicating the trigram had stabilized into a fortunate sign.

Just as Shen Bai said this, Amber’s voice suddenly surfaced in his mind.

’Master, this is the aura of that terrifying Emperor Tianyun.’

Amber had barely finished speaking when Red Makeup continued.

’That’s right, Master. The aura it’s giving off is identical to Emperor Tianyun’s.’

Both Deceitful Beasts had given the same answer.

Their response immediately made Shen Bai remember where he had encountered it before.

This was the aura of Emperor Tianyun.

Back when he was entering the Celestial Pride Hall, Shen Bai had been pulled into a special Space by Emperor Tianyun. The aura he felt when he met the emperor then was identical to this giant’s.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment before covering the area below with his Void-breaking Red Eye, probing the giant for Information from a great distance.

But he found nothing.

It was like playing a video game where the opponent’s information just showed up as three question marks, completely undetectable.

However, Shen Bai wasn’t entirely without results. For example, he detected that this giant had no bones.

With this piece of Information, Shen Bai immediately formed a hypothesis.

’The Bone Giant I encountered in the Space suppressing Emperor Tianyun... could that have been this giant’s skeleton?’

’The skeleton carried Emperor Tianyun’s Divine Soul and will, while this giant, having been separated from it, is mindless.’

’Or rather, it has a tiny bit of consciousness, but not much.’

As these thoughts surfaced, Shen Bai began to ponder his next move.

Just then, the giant below began to change.

The giant slowly raised its head and looked in Shen Bai’s direction, its eyes holding a trace of confusion and curiosity.

’It’s conscious.’

Shen Bai reacted instantly, the hair on his body standing on end.

That look in its eyes meant the giant was conscious.

’But why does the divination trigram indicate great fortune?’

At this moment, Shen Bai didn’t trust his Infinite Divination Skill. After all, it had been manipulated by Emperor Tianyun not long ago.

"Retreat."

Everything happening before him was simply too bizarre.

Shen Bai had no intention of risking his life at a time like this for some minor benefit.

It wasn’t worth it.

Retreating first was the wisest course of action.

The Celestial Prides also knew full well that chasing after some opportunity or benefit at a time like this would mean they had rocks in their heads.

One glance was enough to tell that the terrifying giant was not something they could possibly handle.

Even Shen Bai was calling for a retreat, so naturally, they had no reason to stay either.

But just as everyone was preparing to retreat, something unexpected happened.

The giant opened its mouth and took a sharp breath.

This inhalation immediately generated a terrifying Suction Power.

In the sky, the group had no time to retreat. Caught by the terrifying Suction Power, they were pulled rapidly down toward the giant.

Flashes of brilliant light erupted from the bodies of the Celestial Prides.

Amidst this strange and terrifying radiance, the bodies of the Celestial Prides began to shrink rapidly.

Even Shen Bai was no exception; in the blink of an eye, he was sucked into the giant’s mouth.

...

Shen Bai’s vision went black. When things returned to normal, he found himself in an endlessly dark Space.

Chaos was everywhere, and there was no end in sight.
