Chapter 785: The death of the Golden Emperor (II)
Cain's eyes glowed with focus as he incinerated the Golden Emperor's head, then extended his gray flaming aura across the rest of the man's body. He made sure to burn every cell of the man but also focused on minimizing the destruction of the black root to the minimum.
It took Cain less than ten seconds to burn every inch of the Golden Emperor's body, leaving a massive black root in place.
Cain's eyes narrowed as he stepped back, just in time to avoid the black root that lashed toward him. Like the evil halberd, this thing was alive, and now that the Golden Emperor was gone, it began to search for a new host it could consume.
"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"
The black roots swirled around the cultivation abode as they reached toward Cain. Having consumed so much of the Golden Emperor, it had become very powerful, enough to overwhelm an ordinary Titan without a problem.
However, even exhausted, Cain's power was much higher than that. His energy burst as he flashed forward, grabbed the black root, and forcefully ripped it from the ground before slamming it against the ceiling.
The black root seemed to feel no pain. Even as it was smashed with so much power that it could have shattered a Divine Ascension Master's body, it did not stop struggling, sending hundreds of tendrils to pierce Cain's body.
"Clack!" "Clack!" "Clack!"
However, the moment the tendrils crashed into Cain's body, metal hitting metal echoed. The black root's tendrils were unable to pierce through Cain's flesh!
Of course, Cain did not become careless; after all, it could still enter through an open wound or another orifice, and once inside his body, it would be very hard to fight back. Without wasting time, his Space-Time Eye began to glow, and the Solar Tempest Essence began to flow into the black root.
