Chapter 329: Closing the Passage and Annihilating the Gods Within the Passage
After the gods of the God Realm left, they all returned to their respective residences one after another. The first thing they did upon returning was to bathe, washing away the foul odor on their bodies.
As god-level powerhouses, they were quite attentive to their own image. Jerry's other methods had not affected the gods of the God Realm; instead, the otherwise useless stink bombs had played a significant role.
The gods had all run back, driven away by the stink bombs. Jerry was also taken aback; he had not expected these gods to be so fastidious about cleanliness.
The power of the stink bombs was limited. Not to mention god-level powerhouses, even ordinary people could basically endure them as long as they didn't mind the smell.
Jerry had his clones use the stink bombs just to stall for a bit more time. He hadn't expected the effect to be exceptionally good; at this rate, he could stall for a long time.
Although the gods had retreated, Jerry was still extracting soul power from between heaven and earth. Because the passage between the two worlds was now open, Jerry could directly extract soul power from the God Realm.
The soul power concentration in the God Realm was over a thousand times that of the former Douluo Continent, and the quality of the soul power far exceeded that of the Douluo Continent. Moreover, it was stable soul power, so the arrays that Jerry's clones set up later were all directly extracting soul power from the God Realm.
Without the God Realm's attack, Jerry's speed of Material Transformation was very fast. In one hour, he successfully transformed a Soul Guidance Bomb with both Light and Dark Attribute.
After having this bomb, the tense heart Jerry had felt finally relaxed.
Recalling one clone, Jerry began to continue transforming Soul Guidance Bombs. One was just a safety net; he was consistently cautious, so he wanted to store a few more for backup.
After the clone had set up many arrays, it felt that it should be able to hold out for a while. Suddenly, the clone thought of a good idea.
Thus, the clone began to set up an array again, and a Spirit Dispersing Array appeared.
The clone smiled at the corner of its mouth, and the Spirit Dispersing Array flew directly into the passage.
The function of the Spirit Dispersing Array was that when any species containing soul power entered, the soul power would be extracted and then directly dispersed into the air.
The clone modified this array slightly, setting the location where the extracted soul power was dispersed to the Douluo Continent side.
It set the extraction space to the God Realm side and set this space to the maximum.
After the array was set up, the clone directly activated the array.
Within the space covered by the Spirit Dispersing Array, all soul power was instantly extracted and then released to the Douluo Continent side, nourishing the entire continent.
The soul power between heaven and earth is fluid; it will flow from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas until the soul power concentration of the two areas is balanced.
In the area covered by the Spirit Dispersing Array, the soul power concentration dropped instantly, and the soul power from the outside also flowed into this area simultaneously. Once this soul power flowed into the area of the Spirit Dispersing Array, it was instantly extracted again.
A large amount of soul power was extracted by the Spirit Dispersing Array and discharged to the Douluo Continent, and it was all stable soul power. This was simply faster than Jerry using his clone to transform into a Pillar Supporting the Sky.
Soon, the concentration of heaven and earth soul power near the passage entrance far exceeded one hundred times. Jerry's main body sensed what the clone had done and couldn't help but give the clone a thumbs up.
With a large amount of soul power filling this place, Jerry's Material Transformation speed directly shifted into high gear.
On the God Realm side, the two god-level powerhouses responsible for guarding the passage entrance soon sensed the abnormality: the soul power of the God Realm was being extracted to the Douluo Continent side at a rapid speed.
They had been complaining about being left behind, but now they couldn't care less. One god-level powerhouse spoke directly: "The soul power between heaven and earth is being sucked to the Douluo Continent. You stay here; I will go report to the God King."
After saying this, the god-level powerhouse flew away, leaving the other god-level powerhouse looking stunned.
He had also wanted to go report, but he had been beaten to it. Not to mention the credit for reporting this matter, he didn't want to stay here anymore either; he was covered in a foul odor, and he could take the opportunity to wash up while going back to report.
Suddenly, the god-level powerhouse's eyes lit up. Since he was already covered in a foul odor anyway, why not go into the passage to investigate? If he discovered any useful information, wouldn't that be a greater credit than just reporting?
Thinking of this, the god-level powerhouse flew directly toward the passage.
The area where the Spirit Dispersing Array was set up was very large, and its range had long since exceeded the passage. The god-level powerhouse was completely unaware of this and plunged headlong into the area of the Spirit Dispersing Array.
At first, the god-level powerhouse felt nothing unusual and continued to fly into the passage. As he flew, he suddenly felt that his Divine Power was being consumed heavily. After realizing the state of his body, the god-level powerhouse very decisively began to retreat.
While retreating, the god-level powerhouse felt very regretful. Was the god on the opposite side really that easy to deal with? Why had he been so stupid just now, thinking of going to investigate alone?
Soon, the god-level powerhouse saw the entrance of the passage and was very happy. He was about to get out, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.
After exiting the passage, the god-level powerhouse thought about what had just happened and still felt a lingering fear.
Suddenly, he felt his legs go weak and collapsed at the entrance.
What was going on?
He had come out, so why was his soul power still being consumed so quickly?
The soul power inside his body was soon completely extracted, and the god-level powerhouse now lay collapsed here like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He thought he had gotten out, but he hadn't. He had underestimated the range of Jerry's array, thinking that he would be fine once he was out of the passage, but he hadn't expected the range covered by the array to far exceed the passage.
With all his soul power extracted, the result was the same as exhausting all his soul power: his whole body was weak, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
This was also the weakness of most cultivators; without soul power, they couldn't do anything.
If it were someone who had been to the Spirit Hall Transformation Field, this situation would not have occurred.
At first, without soul power, these transformed individuals would also be weak and unable to move, but after adapting for a period of time, they could live normally just like people who hadn't awakened a martial soul.
Spirit Hall Academy had a training program specifically for when soul power was exhausted, so now many people still had a certain ability to survive even without soul power.
Cultivation in the God Realm had fallen behind; they had never imagined that one day the soul power in their bodies would be completely exhausted.
In normal battles, a portion of soul power would always be reserved, and the God Realm had rich soul power with a fast Recovery speed, so it basically rarely happened that one would completely exhaust the soul power in their body.
Because of this, the gods of the God Realm had never thought that they would one day be without soul power.
Now the Spirit Dispersing Array had appeared, and this array was an unreasonable one; as long as it was soul power, whether it was dense or sparse, it would all be extracted clean.
The violent soul power in the universe could also be extracted, but this Spirit Dispersing Array did not have the function of transformation; it extracted violent soul power and dispersed violent soul power.
Moreover, using arrays in the universe required an Energy Storage Device; one could not directly utilize this violent soul power.
This was the only flaw of all arrays in the universe.
Jerry already had some ideas in his mind about transforming the violent soul power in the universe into absorbable stable soul power; these were ideas he had after his God Body leveled up this time, but the time was too short, and he hadn't verified them yet.
Once verified, he could create Soul Guidance Devices that transformed stable soul power. Coupled with his ability for Material Transformation, he could directly produce a bunch and then use them all to transform soul power for planets. This would be much faster than his clones; after all, the number of clones was limited, while Soul Guidance Devices could be produced infinitely as long as there were sufficient materials.
The god-level powerhouse at the passage entrance had already fainted at the entrance because his entire body's soul power had vanished. Without the protection of soul power, the soul pressure and gravity between heaven and earth in the God Realm could directly crush him to death.
Now the soul power in this area had been extracted, so there was no soul pressure, only gravity. Because he had lived under this gravity for a long time, he had a certain adaptability to it, and it was because of this that the god-level powerhouse only fell into a coma and was not crushed to death by the soul pressure.
If Jerry were to withdraw the Spirit Dispersing Array at this time, the soul pressure in this area would soon return to normal. If he were still in a coma and did not actively absorb soul power, he would likely become the first god in the God Realm to be crushed to death by soul pressure.
After the Sea God received the news, he contacted the other four God Kings at the first opportunity.
When the other four God Kings heard that the Douluo Continent was extracting soul power from the God Realm, they were all furious.
In the past, only the God Realm extracted soul power from the Douluo Continent; now it was the other way around. This was something the God Kings could not accept.
Being subjected to long-term soul power extraction, the soul power concentration of the God Realm would definitely decrease, and by then, everyone's Cultivation and Recovery speed would slow down. This was something that no god could accept.
This situation had to be stopped; very soon, the Asura God gathered the gods of the God Realm once again and informed them that their soul power was being drained, directly inciting the anger of all the gods, who then flocked to the passage, preparing to force their way in again.
Moreover, they had experience this time; after entering the passage, they used soul power to protect their bodies, so that Flash Bombs, Shock Bombs, and Stink Bombs would have no effect on them.
The reason they were in such a sorry state before was because they did not understand Jerry's methods and were caught off guard when encountering these weapons for the first time; now that they were prepared, they were no longer afraid of these little tricks of Jerry's.
The gods who arrived at the entrance of the passage charged into it while shouting, and although they saw the guard in front of the entrance lying on the ground, they assumed he was slacking off and sleeping because his breathing was steady; since solving the array on the opposite side was the priority, they ignored this slacking god-level powerhouse and flew directly into the passage.
Although the passage was large, there were quite a few gods coming from the God Realm, so the passage appeared somewhat crowded instead.
Some of the faster god-level powerhouses soon flew to the exit, where the Douluo Continent lay on the other side, but it was now isolated by a pile of arrays.
Thus, these god-level powerhouses who arrived first began to break the array; perhaps because the draining of the God Realm's soul power made all the gods quite angry, they all increased their soul power one by one to use for breaking the array.
Very soon, the gods felt their soul power consumption intensify one after another, but some gods assumed it was because they had increased their soul power to break the array, so they did not think much of it.
After their soul power was consumed to a certain degree, they stopped, preparing to perform Recovery.
When they began to recover, their eyes widened instantly one by one, because they could not absorb even a sliver of soul power now, and the soul power inside their bodies was still being consumed rapidly.
"Everyone, retreat quickly, there is a problem inside this passage!"
A God Realm powerhouse suddenly shouted loudly.
Many god-level powerhouses reacted at this moment and wanted to retreat, but there were too many gods who came this time, and the passage appeared somewhat crowded.
The gods in front could not retreat in time, their entire body's soul power was drained away, and they fell directly into a coma, fainting inside the passage.
One started to faint, then they began to faint in piles; the gods behind finally saw the situation in front and were immediately so frightened that they began to retreat one after another.
The gods behind were still coming over, while those in front wanted to retreat; at this moment, the passage appeared incomparably narrow, and more and more god-level powerhouses fell down.
Jerry on the opposite side also saw this situation and waited for a minute; the chaotic gods had already begun to retreat in an orderly fashion.
The gods whose soul power was drained only fell into a coma and did not die; if they were rescued and received soul power nourishment, they would soon recover as before.
How could Jerry let such a good opportunity pass? During this period, he had already condensed three Soul Guidance Bombs with Dark Attribute and light, and with a wave of his hand, the three bombs were instantly activated and flew into the passage.
Jerry retracted his clone and instantly retreated to a very far place; white light and black light flashed inside the passage, and not a single sound was transmitted out.
The Spirit Dispersing Array also lost its effect at this moment, and the originally large passage entrance was instantly swallowed by a black hole.
Moreover, many spatial rifts appeared in front of the black hole; although this was not the first time he had seen such a bomb explode, it still made Jerry feel terrified.
Both ends of the passage between the worlds were annihilated; this was too terrifying.
The black hole lasted for a while and then disappeared, leaving behind spatial rifts all over the sky, and the passage between the two worlds that had originally been opened also vanished.
With only the spatial rifts left, it was easy to handle, as the world would automatically repair itself.
Just as Jerry expected, the soul power between heaven and earth flew rapidly toward the spatial rifts, and in a short moment, all the spatial rifts emitting terrifying auras disappeared.
Looking at the clean sky, Jerry breathed a sigh of relief.
The bombs with light and Dark Attribute were very powerful even when they were just tiny little pellets before; now, the three large ones Jerry made actually blasted out a black hole.
Although this black hole could swallow some things, it also required the consumption of huge amounts of energy; the energy of the three bombs could only last for a few seconds, and after swallowing things in the surrounding area, the converted energy was too little to sustain the black hole, which was why this black hole disappeared.
The main reason was that this black hole was too small, and its suction and swallowing ability were limited, so the energy was not enough.
However, Jerry thought of a place where it could be improved; if the two attributes inside the bomb were compressed and then increased by a thousand times, he wondered if it could form a permanently existing black hole.
This crazy idea flashed through Jerry's mind, and Jerry hurriedly shook his head to shake this thought away.
If a permanent black hole were really formed, the entire galaxy would probably be finished, and wouldn't he be finished as well?
At this time, on the God Realm side, more than a hundred god-level powerhouses stood behind the Five Great God Kings, but the state of all the gods at this moment was not good.
Anger, fear...
Many expressions appeared on the faces of these gods.
The God Realm suffered a great loss this time; after counting, a total of one hundred and thirty gods who entered the passage and did not manage to retreat in time all perished, leaving no remains.
Moreover, the passage was also closed; the gods were very angry, but there was nothing they could do.
After the World Advancement, the spatial barrier became thicker, and it was very difficult to open a passage between the two worlds.
Seeing that everyone's state was not good, the Asura God dismissed everyone, then took the other four God Kings to go back and discuss countermeasures.
