Chapter 367: Return
The Origin Sea was vast. That was something that Liora had already known.
Only True Devils possessed the ability to wander in it, and even Greater Devils were likely to get lost if they stayed here for a long time.
Besides Chaos Beasts, perhaps only Archdevils, or even Ancient Devils, could freely roam and survive in this dark void.
As Liora and Alpha continued their journey, they met countless worlds along the way.
Among them were higher-level worlds, as well as weak worlds that had just been born and didn’t possess much World Origin.
In both cases, Liora did not take action.
Even though her instincts urged her to grab all these worlds and devour them, she was able to restrain the impulses of her bloodline.
"I didn’t expect that the Origin Sea would look like this."
"It’s really... barren."
"Among a thousand worlds, nine hundred and fifty are only lower-level worlds."
"Forty-nine are medium-level worlds, and only one among a thousand is a higher-level world."
Liora shook her head.
"No wonder I haven’t met a single other person so far."
"In such an environment, it’s really difficult for a being powerful enough to wander in the Origin Sea to be born.", she whispered.
In fact, this made sense.
The Origin Sea was extremely vast, while there was only a finite number of beings able to roam here.
As such, meeting another person was extremely rare.
Even in her bloodline memories, people meeting in the Origin Sea by accident was a rather unique occurrence.
"It’s fine if we don’t meet any other person. But why do we keep being pestered by these creatures?"
Suddenly, Liora let out a sigh.
Her head turned to the side where there originally existed nothing, only to see the dark void squirm.
Out of nowhere, a giant scaled creature emerged and attacked her.
Although its main target was her, Alpha, standing on the side, was also affected.
A terrible sense of gloom emerged in her hand as a three-fingered claw struck down from the sky.
Just like the Chaos Beasts the two had met so far, this one was also colossal in size. However, what set it apart from the previous beasts was its overwhelming strength.
Unlike the other Chaos Beasts, this one possessed the power of a Greater Devil!
Seeing this, Alpha moved. Her eyes shone brightly as she was about to step forward and give it a try.
However, before she could do so, Liora shook her head and gestured for her to stop.
Although Alpha had become a Greater Devil, Chaos Beasts were quite difficult to deal with.
Even though Alpha might be able to defeat it and ultimately kill it, doing so was bound to take some time.
At any other time, Liora might have let her test her combat power.
However, sensing that several powerful auras were rapidly approaching this place, she understood that time was of the essence.
With that in mind, she didn’t hold back.
Staring at the black claw closing in on her, her mind moved, and the black ring on her hand fired out.
This time, it didn’t turn into a river. Instead, it transformed into a giant serpent, equivalent in size to the Chaos Beast facing her.
Unlike the silver umbrella’s real form, the snake transformed by the Snake of Time was not silver, but translucent, as if it were an illusion.
Still, the change in shape and form had not diminished its power in the slightest.
If anything, the snake had grown even more powerful.
Following a thunderous roar, the massive serpent shot forward. Its body twisted along the claw, using it as a way to quickly approach its enemy.
The snake did not attack the outstretched claw.
Yet, the mere contact between the two caused the claw to crumble.
The black scales broke apart while the skin behind them wrinkled, as if its owner had run out of lifespan.
Then, the Chaos Beast’s front limb vanished.
Liora remained calm.
She didn’t celebrate this "win", but continued controlling the Snake of Time to strike at the enemy.
Soon, the Chaos Beast and the snake were face-to-face.
The former let out a shrill scream and used its remaining front limb to attack, while the snake merely opened its mouth and breathed out.
A wave of transparent water shot out of its maw. When the water came into contact with the incoming claw, the latter instantly shattered.
The Chaos Beast screamed in pain.
Just when it was about to regain its balance, a figure flashed behind it.
A black hole revolved above Liora’s head as the power of Nothingness fell into her hand and transformed into a shiny spear.
The Spear of Divine Punishment overlapped with it, and two distinct powers were perfectly integrated.
Without any hesitation, Liora thrust the weapon towards the torso of her confused opponent.
The scales serving as the first layer of protection were quickly penetrated, and the same held true for the black skin beneath them.
In the blink of an eye, the spear’s tip had dug deep into the Chaos Beast.
The latter let out a painful scream and shook its body, wishing to escape, but its struggle was meaningless.
With the serpent holding the Chaos Beast back and blocking its way, no one could stop Liora.
As the spear pierced through her enemy’s flesh, the twofold power of Divine Punishment and Nothingness poured into its body.
The two attacked it from within and cooperated seamlessly, working together to destroy the Chaos Beast’s very essence.
If any Greater Devil were in its position, there was a tiny chance that they would survive.
However, the Chaos Beast possessed no Indestructible Matter.
Besides its bloodline abilities and its powerful physical strength, its other means were far weaker than those of a normal Devil.
Thus, it was unable to resist.
Its body was gradually wiped out until it completely disappeared.
Until the moment it took its final breath, the Chaos Beast was unable to let out a roar to vent its fury.
It could only die silently and unwillingly, as quickly as it had killed the True Devil-level beings in the past.
Watching the Chaos Beast perish, Liora did not have any emotional fluctuations.
At most, she sighed at her own strength, muttering that it was worth the time she spent at the peak of the True Devil stage.
Otherwise, this Chaos Beast, equivalent in strength to someone at the Indestructible Soul stage, would not have been killed this easily.
Shaking her head, Liora calmed down.
She glanced at the massive black heart left behind by the Chaos Beast and sensed the overwhelming power surging within it.
These hearts were the condensation of the Chaos Beast’s power.
If one were to consume them, both their physical strength and overall strength would improve significantly.
Although this might not provide much help to the current Liora, she still cautiously put it away, placing it beside the other hearts she had collected so far.
Then, she didn’t stay here any longer.
Glaring at the stunned Alpha on the side, she quickly wrapped her up with her power and flew away.
Half an hour after the two left, several Chaos Beasts arrived at the location where the battle had taken place.
The Chaos Beasts scanned the dark, as if searching for potential clues. Unfortunately, they found nothing.
Seeing this, the most decisive among them could not stay put.
Feeling that the person who had led them here had already left, it understood that it would have no chance to find them.
Immediately, a bloodthirsty light flashed across its black eyes.
Contrary to what its earlier behavior would have shown, Chaos Beasts possessed little rationality and intelligence.
Thus, feeling that its prey had escaped and its chance to become stronger had disappeared, it lunged at the next best target: the Chaos Beasts around it.
Although the other Chaos Beasts were not as quick to react, they also made a similar decision.
Soon, an unexpected fight occurred in the Origin Sea, a battle between several Greater Devil-level Chaos Beasts.
Judging from the large number of participants, it was going to take a long time to judge the winner.
As for the two people responsible for this fight?
Liora and Alpha had already left. Not only this place, but the Origin Sea as a whole.
After several years of exploration, Liora had decided to return home.
