At this point, Shen Kangren ground his teeth, fury almost bursting from his eyes.
He knew that, in theory, he could use the blood and flesh he’d reclaimed to reform into a blade and pierce the beast’s body from within. That move had never failed him. Yet against this divine beast, every drop of blood and flesh he poured in vanished like a stone sinking into the ocean—with no response at all. That was what scared him most. If it continued, this creature might truly devour him entirely.
“You—what exactly are you?” he snarled.
“Who are you asking about? That’s Xiao Bai. Or you can call him the White Deity—he lives up to the name,” Ye Yu replied, stepping forward. Beside him stood Wu Kai, his face ashen. Wu Kai had been horrified to find nearly the entire Wuzhong Mountain clan slaughtered—only their lord, Taishi Xiaxin, remained alive, his body shriveled and gaunt. Overcome by duty, Wu Kai had rushed in, dragging Taishi Xiaxin away without a backward glance.
Shen Kangren paid no mind to their escape. His eyes stayed fixed on Yinghuo and Yu Buxia—until they too vanished from his sight.
They had not fled the battlefield, but moved to Ye Yu’s side. Though Yu Buxia led the way, she halted first, allowing Yinghuo to throw herself into Ye Yu’s arms.
“I knew it! You’re alive—you had to be alive!” Yinghuo cried, nearly incoherent with relief.
Yu Buxia remained silent, standing to the side as a backdrop to their reunion.
Ye Yu gently patted Yinghuo’s back, his eyes full of tenderness. Xiao Bai laughed and said, “Congratulations to Big Brother and Second Sister on your reunion! Second Sister, why are you still stunned? Let me use my Memory Stone to take a photo—celebrate your happiness!”
“Second Sister?” Ye Yu’s brow creased in confusion. Yu Buxia blushed, stammering, “Don’t—don’t listen to Xiao Bai’s nonsense! It—”
Before she could finish, a coarse voice cut in.
“You worthless fools! Do you even respect me? Showing off your reunion here? Believe me or not, I’ll devour you all right now!”
The Blood Flesh Evil God Shen Kangren thundered with fury. He had never been dared to be ignored since reaching the Divine Lord Realm. Were these antlike gods insane?
“I don’t believe you—if you’ve got the guts, try it. Let’s see whether I devour you first or you devour them first!”
Xiao Bai stepped forward, thumping its flat belly with supreme arrogance. Ye Yu, Yinghuo, and Yu Buxia exchanged looks of admiration—only Xiao Bai would taunt a Divine Lord.
At that moment, Ye Yu noticed Shen Kangren’s aura: he truly was at Divine Lord Realm level now, far beyond what he’d shown in the dream realm. How had he grown so much ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) stronger?
To be safe, Ye Yu sent a thought to Xiao Bai: “How are you holding up? Want to finish him off, or should I fetch you some antidote?”
“Big Brother,” Xiao Bai replied, “if I could finish him, would I be chatting here? Honestly, I’m about to collapse. I really feel like vomiting!”
Ye Yu’s heart sank. He knew well how formidable Divine Lord power could be. The only reason Shen Kangren hadn’t attacked was fear of Xiao Bai. If Xiao Bai threw up, it meant he hadn’t fully devoured Shen Kangren—and then Shen Kangren would risk everything to kill them all. So Xiao Bai must not vomit.
Before Ye Yu could dissuade him, Xiao Bai’s belly trembled—and then—
“Ugh!!!”
Like a waterfall from the sky, Xiao Bai vomited the blood and flesh it had just consumed. Shen Kangren paused in shock, then burst into mocking laughter. So the beast had been bluffing. Shen Kangren had even begun to consider retreat—until his supposed prey gave up first.
“Heh! Impressive creature, but ancient god or not, you’re nothing to me!”

This was Evil God Termination, a supreme artifact from his dream realm whose power grew with the malice of its target.
