Ape God's body swayed slowly. Looking at the Ghost Carving Divine Blade embedded in his brow, a mischievous smile curled across his lips. "That strike taught you to keep your temper in check! You won this battle!"
Huo Yuhao was still immersed in the pain of losing the item of inheritance when he abruptly looked up. Ape God's body was beginning to dissipate bit by bit, like smoke scattered by the wind.
This body had been forcibly condensed through Divine Power to begin with. Now that the battle was over, the power sustaining its existence was rapidly draining away.
Maintaining it any longer would inevitably consume an enormous amount of Divine Power. Nan Fusheng had no interest in such a losing deal. In any case, he had already dealt Huo Yuhao a fatal blow, so his goal had been achieved.
As Ape God dissipated, a crystal core radiating brilliant golden light slowly appeared where he had stood. Mysterious patterns flowed across its surface, every ray of light seeming to contain endless power.
Just as Huo Yuhao realized how important this crystal core was, an ink-black Black Hole suddenly appeared in the void. Like a greedy beast, it instantly swallowed the Golden Crystal Core.
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply. Almost instinctively, he mobilized Spatial Power to stop it.
But the Black Hole formed with astonishing speed. The Golden Crystal Core vanished into its depths with a whoosh, and the Black Hole swiftly closed. The torn space returned to normal, as though nothing had ever happened.
"No!!!"
Huo Yuhao's roar echoed through the heavens. He dropped to his knees in midair, blood dripping down his thigh onto the clouds and staining them with scarlet blossoms. He did not know exactly what use the crystal core had, but his instincts told him it
