The pursuing giant hand of black energy had form but no substance, and it moved with incredible speed. Several times, it nearly caught him, but each time he narrowly managed to escape.
As Xu Yi fled, countless streams of black Origin energy descended, sweeping up dozens of cultivators and hurling them toward the gaping maw of the Black Origin Person.
Any cultivator who entered the Black Origin Person's maw vanished without a sound, like snow falling into a furnace.
Xu Yi was terrified. He desperately activated the Body Shooting Art and fled at full speed. Within this cramped space, its wonders surpassed those of ordinary true essence spells.
Even so, the room he had to maneuver grew smaller and smaller. The more cultivators the Black Origin Giant seized and devoured, the more giant hands of black Origin energy it had free to pursue him.
The enormous hands, each like a dragon, converged from every direction, finally driving Xu Yi into a tiny area. Several monstrous hands closed in at once and grabbed him.
As soon as the giant hands of black Origin energy closed around Xu Yi, the thick Protective Light Barrier around him began to thin at a visible rate.
Xu Yi panicked. He couldn't spare a thought for the Spirit Stones he was burning through. Fortunately, the barriers from his three fourth-tier battle suits shattered one after another, giving him time to replace the Spirit Stones.
He could only waste Spirit Stones to buy himself time to think of a way out.
In little more than a dozen breaths, not a single cultivator remained alive. The giant black hands surrounded Xu Yi on all sides. Gradually, his Protective Light Barrier vanished like snow under boiling water. Even as he replaced the Spirit Stones, the barrier's renewal grew weaker
