The ground continued to tremble.
The battle between the Chairman and Antius had already spread over dozens of miles, and the distant town had almost been reduced to ruins.
Luo Wei and his party were forced to find another place to watch the fight.
Looking into the distance, on the surface, Antius seemed to have the upper hand, as it could fly.
Its black wings, blotting out the sky, whipped up storms, and every time it took to the air, its endless black corrosive flames would melt huge swathes of the wriggling flesh mountains.
The Chairman howled in pain.
Although it was clearly at a disadvantage, it possessed the ability to infinitely proliferate and regenerate, which prevented Antius from ever completely obliterating it.
Even if part of the Chairman was destroyed, its remaining body tissue would quickly regrow. If not for its constant disadvantage, with the Chairman's terrifying growth capability, these flesh mountains might have spread all the way to the other side of the ocean.
Luo Wei and everyone was guessing who would win.
Most believed Ophelia's ancestor had the edge, but Evelyn pondered and said:
“Antius has indeed won, but with the Chairman's current infinite growth ability, if it accidentally escapes into the sea, after surviving this, it could become a huge problem in the future.”
This was also what the members of the Hermit Order of Mage feared, as everyone present had grievances with the Chairman. If such a Chairman was eventually taken away by the elders supporting it, the future trouble would be endless...
Luo Wei suddenly shook his head, "The Chairman won't escape this time."
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.
The Hounds had moved in.
They had been lingering at the edge for a long time, perhaps observing the many powerful beings present, but finding that none of them intervened, the cunning Hounds surged toward the heart of the battlefield.
When those abstract lines entered the fight, the stalemate instantly changed.
Luo Wei watched as the Hounds madly ripped and gnawed at the Chairman's enormous body, and the flesh mountains disappeared at an accelerated rate.
The Chairman let out a painful roar, but it was helpless against these crazed creatures devouring it.
The reason? They were simply not in the same dimension.
The Chairman's wriggling flesh mountains formed limbs and tentacles, trying to strike the Hounds, but it was completely ineffective. The Hounds were just clusters of tangled lines, without any physical form.
With the colossal black shadow in the sky aiding the attack, the Chairman's wild roars gradually turned into despair.
"Swallow... consume..."
"Ahhhhhh——!"
Although it screamed, the Chairman itself was being consumed.
Huge chunks of flesh were devoured by Antius, the enormous creature feasting with satisfaction, occasionally letting out a contented purr.
Now, it was full. More than enough.
Witnessing the terrifying power of the Hounds, Tilis couldn't help but feel nervous.
She knew that it wasn't just the Chairman who had entered the gate, but also Luo Wei.
Especially since some Hounds were already eyeing him.
Luo Wei cautiously glanced at a position; most Hounds had gone after the Chairman, but a few still lingered menacingly around him.
As long as he tried to traverse time and space, he would be hunted endlessly, whether it was the Chairman or himself.
The space around twisted faintly, the chaotic lines becoming clearer against the backdrop of battlefield dust. Luo Wei could almost see their heads, this being the clearest view he'd ever had.
Suddenly, space twisted violently, and the Hounds drew closer.
"Luo Wei! Watch out!" Tilis nervously shielded him, and a magical barrier abruptly lit up.
“It's useless,” Luo Wei said as he pulled her back, knowing that the powerful magical barrier was as thin as paper against the Hounds; he had seen Usoma's fate.
The only option now was for Tilis to take him back to his old manor.
Tilis understood this too, and in such a crisis, she no longer hesitated. A teleportation spell was about to activate.
But then.
Naya glanced in their direction.
Luo Wei sensed there was something else in that look, besides delight in their predicament.
"Hehehe, in trouble now, aren't we!"
"You had to go and open that gate, didn't you~"
Luo Wei frowned irritably at her, while Naya's gaze slowly shifted to the Hounds.
If one could describe the Hounds' mood, it would be hesitation.
They had been about to rush in and tear this human apart, but under Naya's gaze, they all stopped.
The Hounds lowered their heads, emitting low growls.
Then, they slowly retreated.
Tilis looked on in astonishment at this scene, as the blue glow surrounding them gradually faded.
"Why... what just happened?"
Tilis looked at Luo Wei with confusion, but saw his gaze tightly focused on a spot where nothing but a large rock stood.
“What are you up to now?” Luo Wei asked with a frown, “Ready for another trick?”
From earlier, he felt something was off about Naya's look, wondering what the annoying creature was up to this time...
"What could be more fun than today's antics?" Naya widened her eyes, staring intently at Luo Wei, "You really blew my mind today! How did you..."
"Think of what?"
"Of course!" Naya stared at Luo Wei, her face suddenly flushed, "Such chaos! Such chaos! This is the essence of the world! You've really understood it! Hahaha! Luo Wei! I approve of you so much!!"
Seeing Naya so excited that she looked like she was about to climax, Luo Wei showed a surprised expression.
Suddenly, he got a bad feeling.
【Naya】
【Outer God】
【Affection: 36↑】
Luo Wei suddenly froze. Affection increased? And by so much?
But who cares about affection from anyone else when it's this crazy person's!
After her excitement, Naya's gaze remained fiery, those eyes burning as if to consume Luo Wei.
"I knew I didn't misjudge you! After all these years here, I've never found an interesting human! Hahahaha! This was totally worth it!!"
Luo Wei stared woodenly at her, his mood growing worse.
Naya looked at the nearly dead Chairman in the battlefield, her gaze finally showing a hint of disappointment.
"Hmm, honestly, while it was quite entertaining at first..."
"...this ending lacks punch. You'll need to work on that next time, or I won't be satisfied, you know!"
After saying this, Naya playfully waved her hand.
"Say goodbye, human, I have another event to rush to, so I won't play with you anymore~"
Her intention to leave finally put Luo Wei at ease.
Too bad he was too optimistic.
Naya's last words before disappearing sent his mood plummeting.
"Puhahaha! You didn't think I was going to let you off, did you!"
She grinned at Luo Wei, "Don't think so! I've taken a liking to you~"
"I love how much trouble you can stir up, I'm looking forward to your next masterpiece~"
"If you ever need more power, remember~ Mama Naya's got your back!"
After saying this, Naya smiled mischievously at the stunned Luo Wei, then gradually disappeared into thin air.
"Looking forward to our next meeting~"
After she left, the atmosphere slowly calmed.
And Luo Wei stared at his suddenly updated attribute screen, lost in thought.

Luo Wei blinked.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
