A flash of white light passed, and all the Gold-Eating Grass covering the Purple Heaven Pillar vanished, not even a single blade remaining.
Fang Yun then began searching the nearby seafloor. Before long, he found where the Gold-Eating Grass stored its old leaves. Those old leaves had accumulated for countless tens of thousands of years, so numerous beneath the sea that they could fill a great river—several cities could not contain them all.
But with the Heaven-and-Earth Shell, none of that was a problem. Still, storing such a vast quantity consumed too much power. Fortunately, Fang Yun had a Sacred Qi Source; otherwise, he would never have had enough Dragon Qi.
Near the Purple Heaven Pillar, at the edge of the battlefield between the two races, an enormous pit appeared.
Looking down from the sky, the lingering wills of the saints from both races all wore strange expressions, as though wondering whose descendant this was. How could he leave not a blade of grass wherever he passed?
Fang Yun was deeply satisfied. With these old Gold-Eating Grass leaves, the Human Race's mechanisms and weapons would all enter a new era. Their destructive power would not merely increase severalfold over current weapons, but dozens of times over.
Before this, the Human Race's mechanisms could only restrain a Great Demon King somewhat. But in a few days, even without using Dragon Might War Gear, Giant Crossbow Mechanisms forged from these old Gold-Eating Grass leaves could shoot a Great Demon King into a honeycomb and kill it outright!
There were simply too many old Gold-Eating Grass leaves. Coupled with their ability to be recycled, they could sustain the Two Worlds Mountain's ceaseless consumption for hundreds or even thousands of years!
With the Gold-Eating Grass gone, the Purple Heaven Pillar revealed its original appearance.
