"Pang Jian."
Old Black Turtle's soul voice suddenly rippled through Pang Jian's heart.
"I'm fine now. It... has withdrawn from my body."
"It's gone."
"Truly terrifying. Truly a despairing existence."
The Black Dragon King, Yuan Qi, and the Ice-Armored Eel Dragon all transmitted their voices at that moment.
The four great demon gods, whose spiritual intelligence and divine essences had long teetered on the verge of collapse under the torment of that supreme will from beyond the heavens, simultaneously sensed that will departing.
The four high-god-level demon gods let out long breaths in the desolate starry river, attaining true liberation.
They were free.
"Pang Jian, I can sense the Dao essence of the earth. It exists within your body."
Old Black Turtle spoke again, sounding somewhat surprised.
Like a vast grayish-brown continent, it floated in the void, gazing eagerly at Pang Jian.
With that being's spiritual contamination gone, and with a divine consciousness from Pang Jian surrounding its divine essence, it was now able to glimpse the abnormalities within Pang Jian's Primordial Spirit.
It could also clearly see the Dao marks Pang Jian had gathered from the gray-white ghostly light, those tangible manifestations one after another.
Those were not what it craved.
It was an earth spirit. Its core Great Dao corresponded to the... earth among metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Yet the mysteries of earth within Pang Jian's internal organs bore Dao marks of the "Earth Dao Source."
By comprehending the Dao Source of the "Earth Dao Source," as long as it penetrated the mysteries within, it could forge a Sovereign Realm belonging solely to itself under the impetus of vast alien power.
Through Pang Jian, it had hope of challenging a new realm once more!
"Ice—the ultimate mystery of ice!"
Yuan Qi cried out at that moment
