One could see that the stones, which managed to slowly grow flesh and blood with great difficulty, were withering rapidly, and the blood-red figure reflected on them was visibly weakening at a speed observable to the naked eye.
"What are you doing to this Apostle of mine?!"
"Lowly Blue Star native, how dare you steal my lifeforce!!"
"You are insulting a divine emissary!!"
Thoughts echoed repeatedly in Su Tu's heart and spirit; the voice was furious, with a hidden, profound fear.
This was the residual soul of the Apostle, just awakened, thinking it was about to feast, only to find out it was being consumed instead.
It felt like waking up and ordering a lamb's head, only for that lamb's head to smile at you and say 'pour on me'.
Imagine how utterly shattered this residual soul was.
However, Su Tu paid no heed to that voice at all.
He closed his eyes tightly at this moment, and all the pores of his body were wide open, with powerful devouring energy erupting from his body.
Forcibly seizing lifeforce, destiny, and all sorts of tangible and intangible powers from the Apostle!!
His physical body was undergoing a transformation at an astonishing speed.
The apertures in his body were breathing, the Celestial Acupoints resonating, and the Immortal Power within the Five Mansions was roaring.
Even the Emperor Bone that had recently undergone transformation was emitting a mesmerizing glow, with ancient characters constantly emerging above it.
What excited Su Tu even more was...
[You are devouring the residual lifeforce of a Venerable, Combat Body Proficiency +200]
[You are devouring the residual lifeforce of a Venerable, Combat Body Proficiency +200]
[You are devouring the residual lifeforce of a Venerable, Comba....]
[You are devouring the residual li...]
A plethora of system prompts frantically appeared before his eyes.
The proficiency of his Combat Body was increasing at an astonishing speed.
This thrill of rapidly growing stronger made Su Tu feel joyful in heart and spirit.
Meanwhile, observing the system prompt, Su Tu sensed there were ambiguities in the incident of the Apostle being slain in the relic back then.
According to the Hua brothers, when the relic on Ancestor Star first emerged, the Star Sky Great Wall made an exception to allow each team of explorers to be led by one Celestial Being, and the Apostle's cultivation at the time was below that of a Celestial Being.
But according to the system's prompt, the Apostle's strength was clearly that of a Venerable, a tier higher than a Celestial Being.
In other words, the leader back then also had issues!
This Venerable Apostle deliberately died in the ruins back then...
"Stop!! Stop absorbing..."
At this moment, in his heart, that lofty voice had already turned weak and humble, accompanying Su Tu's relentless plundering.
The so-called divine Apostle...was filled with fear at this moment.
It felt that if Su Tu continued to absorb its lifeforce and destiny, not to mention executing the plan from years ago, it could potentially die and fall completely.
"What do you want, as long as you stop absorbing my lifeforce and destiny, I can satisfy whatever you want!!"
"Can you hear me?!!"
The Apostle screamed hysterically in Su Tu's heart, yet Su Tu completely ignored it, not even granting a single response.
Just silently...
[You are devouring the residual lifeforce of a Venerable, Combat Body Proficiency +200]
[You are devouring the residual lifeforce of a Venerable, Combat Body Proficiency +200]
At this moment, aside from the immensely anxious Apostle's residual soul, there was another who was about to go mad with anxiety, and that was the Sufferer.
"Master, stop, master quickly stop!!"
"Stop it!!"
"I demand you stop right now!!" he shouted excitedly, watching the withering Apostle Flesh, his eyes twitching wildly.
The few pieces of Apostle Flesh that had been revived with great difficulty were on the verge of withering, if the Apostle's residual soul vanished with them, the remaining flesh would become useless dead stones.
This Apostle carried a millennia-old scheme on its back, if an accident happened here, the higher-ups would never forgive him, and he would face the most terrifying punishment in the world!!
The Sufferer wanted to scream for Su Tu to step out of the blood pool, but how could Su Tu pay him any mind.
In desperation, he wanted to pull Su Tu out by hand.
But... how could Number One allow him to disrespect Su Tu...
Before the Sufferer could make a move, Number One intervened in an instant, stopping the Sufferer.
"Spirit Host!! I hope you understand your own identity!!"
"Your master is preventing the revival of the Three Gods, if the Apostle perishes, the Church's millennial grand plan will be in ruins!"
The Sufferer roared furiously.
Upon hearing this, Number One was stunned, although Su Tu was now a part of his faith, the Three Gods still occupied most of it, and upon hearing the Sufferer's words, Number One hesitated slightly.
That moment of hesitation granted the Sufferer an opportunity.
In virtually an instant, he arrived near the blood pool.
"There's still a chance to salvage it, as long as this body is crushed, the Power of Flesh and Blood will return to the blood pool..."
Killer's eyes gleamed with murder.
Now, he couldn't care less about Su Tu's identity, since if he was a Spirit Host, he would at most reincarnate from the faith upon death, when he's rewarded for executing the plan, even if this person had an immensely high status, he couldn't do anything to him!!
Now, he intended to raise his hand and obliterate Su Tu's physical body.
Almost at the same time, Su Tu opened his own eyes too.
The Apostle Flesh hadn't fully revived, only a few pieces of flesh had revived in vitality, and he had devoured all the lifeforce of those revived pieces.
[You are devouring the residual lifeforce and destiny of a Venerable, Combat Body Proficiency +200]
[Combat Body (Initial Tier): 6509/10000]
Su Tu accumulated a total of 5000 proficiency from that Apostle!!
The power of his flesh continued to rise.
But he did not completely annihilate it, leaving some 'root' for the Apostle Flesh, because he sensed that the Apostle had more unrecovered flesh, Su Tu understood the principle of not exhausting resources too well.
"Master, please meet your end!!"
Now, the Sufferer was already in front of Su Tu, raising one hand, countless black silhouettes behind him transforming into sharp arrow shadows, ready to fall.
Locked onto by those dark silhouettes in an instant, Su Tu felt there was no escape, no evasion.
This was an inescapable deathtrap.
"Fine, all for the Three Gods!" However, facing this situation, Su Tu astonishingly did not dodge or evade, instead saying.
Hearing this, the Sufferer was also momentarily stunned, but his hands didn't stop, the Apostle could not be put at risk.
"It seems I misunderstood the master earlier, all this wasn't his doing, there must be something strange about this body, but for the plan, I can only wrong him now."
Thinking this in his heart, Killer also felt a hint of guilt, his killing technique affecting both body and spirit, would annihilate the master's soul, though he regretted it now, it was too late to retract.
The next moment!!
Swish!!!
Dark shadows exploded with rich death aura, reflected in Su Tu's pupils.
However, looking at the terrifying attack about to penetrate and obliterate him, Su Tu wore a divine expression, as if welcoming death.
Meanwhile, he silently spoke in his heart.
"A bit slow, this time when we return, you'll have to clean a few more days."
"Meow~" A crisp meow echoed in his heart.
Bam!!!
Crack!!!
Suddenly, the entire blood pool billowed, surrounding black walls trembled, subsequently vast terrifying cracks extended from all directions.
Boom!!!
Afterwards, incomparably terrifying power erupted from above, an invisible impact bearing boundless might, the Sufferer's dark shadow instanter extinguished.
Everything above completely collapsed and obliterated, sunlight filtered in, accompanied by two silhouettes.
A frail old man holding a small black cat, eagerly looked around from above, only after seeing Su Tu's figure did he sigh in relief.
Beside him stood an aged woman with a dragon-head cane, glaring angrily.
"Three Deceits Cult!! You mad bastards, how dare you target the precious sole seedling of our department, you must have had enough, I'll send you to meet your damn Three Gods now!!"
With a furious roar, waves of invisible impact burst forth, bearing immense might, where the voice landed, hundreds of followers instantly turned to dust!!
No remains!!
