Chapter 132: Void Mastery, Crunchy as a Crisp
The sudden appearance of the little girl seemed to bring a profound silence to the entire world.
Luo Luo had not appeared for a long time. As Du Fang’s strength grew, so too did hers, rising steadily and consistently. Nowadays, Luo Luo could essentially choose when to be seen and when to remain invisible.
Du Fang, hovering in the air by manipulating air currents, watched Luo Luo appear before him. She was as innocent and romantic as ever, her angelic, delicate face filled with curiosity about the world. She tilted her head, clutching her doll, looking so adorable that one couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch her cheeks.
However, this was only how Luo Luo appeared in Du Fang’s eyes. In reality, she was nothing like that.
The eyes behind the Seventh Priest’s white jade mask narrowed sharply. He stared at the little girl floating in the air. A little girl appearing out of thin air? That was obviously not normal. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary child to levitate.
A Fallen God? Another Fallen God? The Seventh Priest’s heart skipped a beat. A second Fallen God had actually appeared? It was clear this one was also connected to Du Fang, as she stood directly in his path. How could Du Fang, a single human, harbor two Fallen Gods? Was his physical body really that formidable? Would he not be hollowed out by it?
But this was not the time for such thoughts. The Seventh Priest prepared to strike without hesitation, erupting with terrifying killing intent. By activating his minor divine core and drawing upon the power of envy, his strength had expanded and surged significantly. This was his only chance. The moment his original body had been killed, this clone had become his new primary form. If this body were destroyed, he would truly die.
The Seventh Priest did not want to die here. He had come to Jiangling City brimming with confidence; dying here would not only make him a laughingstock but would be utterly worthless.
However, in the Seventh Priest’s eyes, the little girl’s appearance suddenly became horrific. Blood seeped from her eyes, and she opened her mouth to reveal a tongue covered in barbs, twisting like a large, serpentine creature, spanning the space around them.
The Seventh Priest manifested a white jade-like energy ball in his hand and slammed it toward Luo Luo. The rapidly spinning sphere was imbued with the power of envy. Unlike the minor divine cores of others, his was derived from one of the seven great Fallen Gods. In the Divine Core organization, these seven emotional Fallen Gods were classified as World-End level beings, and the minor cores created from their power were naturally formidable. And this was only because he had yet to fully unlock the core's potential! The power of a minor divine core could affect even Fallen Gods; after all, even they were susceptible to the chaos caused by the power of emotions.
"Die!!!"
The pupils behind the Seventh Priest’s white jade mask were cold. He intended to repel this Fallen God and capture Du Fang directly.
The appearance of yet another Fallen God left the Li couple stunned. Two Fallen Gods hidden within his body? What kind of monster was Du Fang? But there was no time to think. A mid-tier Nation-Destroying level expert was an entirely different concept from a low-tier one. At the Nation-Destroying level, every increase in strength represented a massive leap. The Li couple were only low-tier Nation-level; facing a mid-tier Nation-Destroying threat, they were virtually helpless and even feared for their lives. Though this power was only temporarily borrowed by the white-masked priest, the couple remained deeply concerned for Du Fang.
Below, Zhang Changlin, covered in blood, began to laugh. Seeing Luo Luo appear, a look of relief washed over his face. "It’s over." Despite being drenched in blood, he calmly lit the cigarette dangling from his lips.
*Hiss!*
The air trembled as it was shredded by the energy of the white jade sphere. Facing the ferocious Seventh Priest, Luo Luo slowly raised her hand. With a single gesture, she blocked the path.
The light sphere smashed by the Seventh Priest came to an abrupt halt! It felt as if time and space had been frozen; he felt trapped in a quagmire, unable to pull himself away. The air was frozen, time was frozen, and space was frozen.
Terror emerged in the Seventh Priest’s eyes. This level of power... a mid-tier Nation-Destroying level expert, he felt a suffocating sense of dread.
Qiqi the piglet, nestled in Luo Luo’s armpit, rolled its eyes, looking at the trapped Seventh Priest with disdain, as if watching a fool. Now that the Great Master had reached the strength of a high-tier Dream Weaver, how could the Little Master’s strength remain what it once was?
Luo Luo’s gaze remained fixed on the minor divine core atop the Seventh Priest’s head. Within the core, the energy of a Dream Spirit was surging. Du Fang had gained the basic ability of air control from Luo Luo, but she possessed a higher level of mastery: after air control came Void Control!
Luo Luo was now a being who commanded the void. Time, space, air, nothingness—everything belonging to the void was under her grasp. Unless the Seventh Priest unleashed the power of a domain to isolate the void, he could never break free from her influence. This was power that even gods feared!
Behind Luo Luo, Du Fang’s eyes were filled with excitement. He could currently only control air, but Luo Luo’s mastery over the void far exceeded his imagination, giving him a deeper understanding of his own abilities and leaving him filled with yearning.
Luo Luo reached out, as if plucking a star from the sky, and snatched the minor divine core from atop the Seventh Priest’s head. Terror spread through the Seventh Priest’s eyes as his power plummeted, dropping instantly back to the low-tier Nation-Destroying level, and then lower still, nearly falling out of the Nation-Destroying tier entirely into the City-Destroying tier. Without the power of the minor divine core, the Seventh Priest was utterly defenseless. As he felt the vastness of the void closing in, a sense of death flooded his heart—despair, helplessness, and cold.
The Seventh Priest knew he was finished.
"Daddy, Luo Luo has a gift for you!"
Luo Luo gripped the minor divine core, swallowing hard, her heart clearly conflicted. In the end, she handed it to Du Fang. This spirit of self-sacrifice moved Du Fang deeply. He intended to refuse, but a will within his body took control of his hand, forcing it to rise and grasp the crystal.
The crystal sank into his palm like ice melting in snow. The terrifying power within the minor divine core did not leak or release at all; it was simply swallowed, absorbed.
The Seventh Priest, frozen in the void, was terrified to the extreme. Inside Du Fang... there was another Fallen God? And an even more powerful one? The fact that this little girl Fallen God was so willing to hand over the minor divine core meant that the Fallen God inside Du Fang was capable of suppressing her!
"Daddy, what about him? Can Luo Luo eat him?" Luo Luo asked.
Du Fang
