A day and a half was neither long nor short.
For Shen Fan, at any rate, it passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Fan sat cross-legged in the void.
The gray-white radiance of the Source Devouring Emperor Scripture had contracted to its limit, leaving only a thin layer pressed against his palm.
Beneath his palm lay one last tiny clump of dark-gold substance.
It was the final strand of immortal gold essence hidden within Cang Yue Primordial Demon's flesh.
Once this strand of immortal gold essence was gone, even a great immortal descended to earth could not save Cang Yue Primordial Demon's life!
As though sensing this, even after his divine soul had been utterly crushed and his flesh reduced to ash, that final strand of immortal gold essence still stubbornly resisted the devouring force, like a beast driven into a dead end, letting out soundless roars.
"Still refusing to give up."
Shen Fan sneered.
He made no unnecessary movements, merely pressing his five fingers sharply downward.
The power of ten strands of immortal gold essence erupted, bearing down with utterly overwhelming might.
Crack.
An exceptionally crisp snapping sound rang through the empty space.
Cang Yue Primordial Demon's final strand of gold essence could withstand it no longer. It shattered inch by inch, turning into incomparably pure immortal origin that surged into Shen Fan's body through his palm.
Shen Fan closed his eyes, allowing that immense power to rampage through his body.
The Source Devouring Emperor Scripture circulated furiously, forcibly cleansing and refining the energy that carried Cang Yue Primordial Demon's savage aura, before stamping it completely with Shen Fan's mark.
A long while passed.
Shen Fan slowly opened his eyes, a faint gray-white gleam flashing in their depths.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
