The Titan Giant Ape's screams had long since become hoarse and weak, its huge golden pupils were unfocused, and the flame of its Life was rapidly dimming like a candle flickering in a storm.
It endured unprecedented pain and humiliation, a complete trampling of its divine beast dignity.
Just as Tai Tan's consciousness was about to completely succumb to darkness, a golden light, originating from the depths of its bloodline and fully activated by the crisis of death, carrying a hint of sacred majesty, suddenly erupted from the depths of its broken body.
The light instantly enveloped it, carrying an aura that transcended the mundane and surpassed the laws of this world.
Tai Tan's shattered wounds showed signs of healing instantly under the golden light, and his listless aura suddenly lifted.
The power of the gods.
This was a trace of primordial divine power that protected it when it was passively drawn by the rules of the Divine Realm as a Divine Realm official on the verge of death.
Toji Shen'er's slamming fist was slightly stopped by the sudden burst of holy golden light.
He stopped moving, shook off the golden blood and flesh that stained his fists, and looked at the Titan Giant Ape beneath him, which was enveloped in golden light and whose aura had slightly recovered. Instead of fear, he revealed a more excited and playful grin, his eyes blazing with crimson light.
"Oh? Finally willing to use the power of your backer?" Toji's voice was full of mockery and insight. "Too bad, you smuggled trash, do you dare to use the power of the gods in the lower realm for too long? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those old fogies in the God Realm Committee, who will drag you back, skin you alive, and imprison you in the Divine Prison forever?"
He stuck out his tongue and licked the golden divine blood that had splattered on his lips, his eyes fixed on prey that had fallen into a trap:
"I bet you wouldn't dare use this power."
As if confirming Toji's words, the glimmer of hope and ferocity that had just ignited in the Titan Giant Ape's eyes instantly turned into boundless fear and apprehension upon hearing the words "God Realm Committee" and "Eternal Prison of Gods."
Its massive body trembled violently from this deep-seated fear.
The sacred golden light that enveloped it flickered violently like a popped soap bubble, and then... receded as quickly as the tide, disappearing just as fast as it appeared.
It lasted for less than 0.1 seconds.
As the golden light vanished, the Titan Giant Ape's aura plummeted to rock bottom, becoming even more feeble than before.
The wound reopened, and divine blood surged forth.
All that remained in its eyes was boundless despair and resentment.
It knew, Toji was right, it dared not.
It and Niu Tian secretly crossed the border to the mortal realm to protect the Clear Sky Sect for ten thousand years, which was already a serious crime that violated the divine rules.
Once the Divine Realm discovers that they have used the power of the gods, they will face a punishment a thousand times worse than death.
Boundless humiliation and despair completely overwhelmed the Tai Tan. Driven by its remaining bestiality, it used its massive, cracked head, with a final, desperate madness, to smash into Toji stood on its chest.
"Stubborn to the end." A cold look of disgust flashed in Toji's eyes.
Faced with this fatal impact, his figure flickered and vanished from his spot like Gui Mei, reappearing a hundred meters away.
Tai Tan's head slammed into his already shattered chest, triggering an even more violent spasm and spurting of blood, but it didn't even touch the hem of Toji's clothes.
Toji looked down at the Titan Giant Ape struggling to its death like a tattered mountain of gold, and at Niu Tian struggling to get up from the ruins in the distance, and completely lost his patience.
With a flick of his wrist, a silver ring with an unusually complex structure and a cold metallic luster appeared in his hand.
Level 9 Soul Tool, Chain of a Thousand Miles!
"Let me show you what a human-made Soul Tool."
Toji, the Bloodline Power is infused into it.
The silver ring instantly disintegrated and extended, transforming into a slender silver chain that shimmered with a chilling light.
The chains seemed to have Life their own, spinning and lengthening rapidly in Toji's hands.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
The silver chains danced above Toji's head, growing longer and faster with each swing.
It tore through the air with a sharp, piercing whistle.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying whip, a thousand meters long, that danced wildly in the bloody rain and gore like a silver dragon.
"Go."
A fierce glint flashed in Toji's eyes, and he suddenly flicked his wrist.
The thousand-meter-long silver chain, like a venomous python hunting its prey, with a piercing shriek, precisely Entanglement around the Titan Giant Ape's only remaining left forelimb, which supported its broken body.
The slender yet incredibly strong chain tightened instantly.
Like the most venomous python, it tightened its grip on the tough fur and muscles of the Titan Giant Ape's left forelimb.
The powerful binding runes attached to the chains lit up, frantically suppressing the remaining power of the Tai Tan.
The Titan Giant Ape felt its left forelimb being bound and tried to struggle in shock and anger, but it was already severely injured and dying, and had lost most of its strength.
"Get the hell over here!"
With Toji roar, the muscles in his arms bulged like dragons, and the veins stood out.
He stomped his feet on the ground, his waist taut like a bowstring, pouring all his terrifying power—enough to shake the gods—into the chains and pulling them back with a mighty jerk.
The agonizing sounds of flesh tearing and bones shattering rang out again, enough to make your scalp tingle.
It was clearer and more gruesome than when his right arm was torn off before.
The Titan Giant Ape's massive, mountain-like body was actually dragged off the ground by this tiny human using only a soul-guiding chain and pure brute force.
Its only remaining left forelimb, under the combined force of the terrifying pull of the chains and its own enormous weight, instantly exceeded its limit.
The tough fur, the muscles that were knotted like steel cables, the arm bones that were as thick as pillars supporting the sky... like a steel cable that had been stretched to its limit and then snapped, starting from the line connecting the shoulder blades—**it was forcibly, completely, torn apart, skin and bone together.
This tragedy far surpassed anything seen before. At the severed points on Tai Tan's shoulders, golden divine blood erupted like two runaway golden volcanoes, gushing wildly and uncontrollably into the sky.
Two spectacular yet terrifying golden blood rainbows were formed.
The massive, broken body, stripped of all support, resembled a mountain of rotten flesh with all its bones removed. Carrying a towering pillar of blood and endless pain, it crashed back onto the earth, which was already soaked in divine blood, splattering blood and mud everywhere.
The severed left forelimb, thicker than the previous right arm, with torn flesh and splattered gold blood, was pulled by chains and Toji tossed aside like a giant meteor hammer, making a dull thud.
With both hands gone and divine blood gushing out, the Titan Giant Ape, once the king of the forest who roamed the Star Dou, has now been reduced to a mountain of flesh waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping block.
Even the struggles became weak and powerless, leaving only painful spasms and desperate sobs.
Seeing this scene from afar, Niu Tian's eyes widened in horror, and it let out a mournful cry as if it were weeping blood. It struggled to get up, but the terrifying power contained in Toji previous slap had already damaged its essence. Coupled with the severe injury from being slowly sliced to death, it was extremely difficult for it to even lift its head.
Toji glanced coldly at the dying Tai Tan and the struggling Niu Tian, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
With a thought, the Chain of a Thousand Miles Entanglement the Tai Tan's severed limbs loosened and contracted automatically like serpents, transforming back into silver rings that returned to his hand, where he put them away.
The next moment, the dark red, deadly blade reappeared in his hand. The blade had absorbed the golden divine blood that had been scattered all over the sky, and now it flowed with an eerie, dark golden luster, as if it were molten gold, and its malevolent aura was solidified.
