Chapter 320: Swallow!

Time, at this moment, seemed to be forcibly unplugged from the server by some mischievous deity.

There was no ear‑splitting roar as expected.

There was no blinding flash that could burn through the retina.

Nor was there a world‑shattering shockwave that flipped everyone over.

Only…

Dead silence.

An absolute dead silence like the moment before a horror film's Climax, making the heart miss a beat.

"Consultant Su…"

Hundreds of meters away, Jinglei's lightning spear still hovered in midair, its pale‑blue arcs crackling.

He had already prepared for Consultant Su's heroic sacrifice, their tearful corpse‑collection, and the morale‑building of awarding Su a medal after returning.

Result…

That bead went dead?!

That was a nuclear bomb forged from the Demon Emperor's burning foundation!

It wasn't just him.

Even Yu Zao Qian, who was about to enjoy the show.

At this moment, the nine‑tailed one was stiff, with a face that looked like it had seen a ghost.

Her fox eyes, capable of seeing through countless illusions, stared fixedly at the explosion's core, the eyeballs nearly popping out.

It felt as if a fishbone were stuck in her throat.

She couldn't swallow, couldn't clear it.

It was unbearably painful.

Everyone on the battlefield…

Were all strangely frozen!

Couldn't understand!

"That… that is…"

As the blood‑colored steam in the sky slowly dissipated.

Su Ming's scene was finally laid bare before everyone's eyes.

Su Ming was still standing.

He still kept his arms wide open, as if embracing the sun, exuding ultimate swagger.

But between him and that dark‑red blood bead capable of destroying everything…

No intimate contact occurred.

Because something had brazenly stuck a foot in the way!

It was…

A mountain of flesh?

No.

To be precise.

It was a structure piled from unknown black stone, its cracks oozing magma‑like viscous blood…

A statue?!

Not tall.

It lacked any holy golden radiance, and had no ethereal aura.

Instead, it exuded a primitive, ancient barbaric evil full of blood and greed.

The most hair‑raising part was—

At the statue's summit, there was no appealing ornament.

But…

A huge, wildly beating—blood‑red heart!

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

The muffled heartbeat sounded like war drums.

At that moment, it even drowned out the battlefield's wind, piercing clearly into everyone's ears.

Each beat sent a visible ripple through the surrounding space.

As if even the air itself were trembling.

"What the hell… is this underworld thing?!"

On the ground, Wang Dongfeng dropped his cigarette in fright, his mouth opening wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.

"Consultant Su…"

"Going to war and still carrying a pacemaker?!"

"Awesome!"

…

Global paid livestream room.

The bullet comments, after a brief lag, exploded like a breached dam.

The screen filled with question marks and "WTF".

"???"

"Whoa! This art style is off! Isn't this supposed to be a hot‑blooded manga? How did it suddenly turn into Cthulhu?!"

"This thing… looks like an altar?! But if I'm not mistaken, that heart on top is alive, right?!"

"Stop kidding! Whose altar looks like this? And aren't altars supposed to disappear daily? How can this be carried around and used as a shield?!"

"The one upstairs must be clueless. It's known that the Pure God has a portable storage; what's wrong with storing an altar there? Though… it is indeed a bit far‑fetched!"

"But this thing can block Da Tian Gou's self‑detonation? That's a strike that burns the Demon Emperor's foundation! Science?!"

The Audience were still arguing.

But the atmosphere on the spot was already suppressed to the extreme.

Su Ming stood behind the altar, his face as pale as paper.

Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, hitting the scorching ground and instantly vaporizing.

"Number 40..."

"Crimson Throne..."

An old friend!

That's also why he suddenly stopped then!

In that instant, that match‑eating guy transmitted a thought to him!

It wants to eat that thing!

"Hey, don't embarrass me."

"I'm taking such a huge risk!"

"Whether a bike can become a motorcycle depends on how good your bite is! Eat it for me!"

The moment his words fell.

A sudden anomaly!

The 【Heavenly Dog Eclipse】 blood orb that had been hovering in front of the altar, unable to advance an inch due to some Rule conflict.

It seemed to sense danger.

The previously stable energy structure began to quake violently, the surface Red Light surged instantly, trying to forcefully detonate!

It's going to explode!

Even if blocked.

It will drag this bizarre altar and the person before it to perish together!

"Want to explode?!"

"Too late!"

Su Ming let out a low growl, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

He knows that match‑eating guy too well.

Since it's on its plate, it's its dish!

Pfft—!!!

Sure enough.

At the altar's apex, the massive blood‑red heart contracted violently.

Immediately.

Countless crimson tentacles, only finger‑wide, covered with fine suction cups and barbs.

Like a predatory deep‑sea monster fish, they burst out from the heart's vascular valves!

Quick!

Too fast!

No time at all for the blood orb to detonate!

This is not some sacred offering ceremony, is it?

This is clearly a naked, unreasonable—

Predation!

Sizzle—!

When the tentacles touched the blood orb's surface, they emitted a scorching sound that made one's teeth ache.

It was a temperature high enough to vaporize steel instantly.

But those seemingly delicate tentacles didn't break!

Instead, like leeches that smell blood, they frantically secreted a viscous blood‑colored fluid.

They stubbornly withstood the heat, clinging tightly!

One!

Ten!

Hundred!

In the blink of an eye.

That dark‑red blood orb representing Da Tian Gou's lifelong cultivation and Divinity was enveloped by countless tentacles into a massive Flesh Cocoon!

Not even a single Red Light could pierce through!

"Gulu..."

A clear swallowing sound rang out.

Immediately.

Then came that bone‑chilling sucking sound.

Sizzle—!

Everyone stared at the scene, mouths agape.

Watching that terrifying Energy Body, moving at a speed visible to the naked eye…

It withers!

It's eating!

It's really eating!!!

This damned thing actually treated the Demon Emperor's ultimate move as a buffet?!

"This… this is impossible!!!"

In midair, Yu Zao Qian finally broke down.

That face, which could retain a hint of elegance even when slapped in the face.

Now twisted like an old witch, her features flailing wildly.

"That's a Rule-level Energy Body! That's pure Destruction Rule!"

"What can directly swallow a Rule?!"

"This isn't science! This isn't metaphysics!!"

The aura emanating from that altar…

Greed, gluttony, chaos.

Compared to those so‑called monsters, this thing is more like…

Calamity itself!
