Chapter 1011: Eliminated

Deep beneath the ground, a dark mass separated itself from the fleshy root ball of bloody and spike-covered tentacles. The oil-like shape burrowed down into the ground, moving far away from the mass of fleshy roots that were already shriveling up rapidly. On the surface, the huge cage or net of tentacles had already been ripped apart and it was being torn into tiny shreds by the giant column of water that completely submerged the Spire. With all the remnants of the Infernal Banyan torn away, the huge column of water slowly spun around the building a few times and then slowly lowered back down into the river where it came from. During this whole time since the spiky haired man had appeared the huge waterfall had come to a complete stop. The many millions of gallons of water that fell constantly had all been diverted into the mans attacks. It was only now that it was all finished that things slowly began to return to normal.

The waterfall came back to life, starting first as a trickle and then suddenly turning into a terrible torrent. The flow of water was suddenly twice as much as it normally was, needing to be at a higher flow rate to make up for the minutes where it had been forced to stop. Much of the water was still splashed over the forest to the side to create the two huge walls, but quite a bit of that rushed back to the river to join the huge volume of water that made up the massive column surrounding the Spire. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

With the destruction of all that was above the surface, some of the water also seemed to move with a mind of its own, sinking into the ground and destroying the roots that had created the many fleshy tendrils from below. The whole of the huge root system that had taken many hours to grow was destroyed in mere minutes and every trace of Infernal Qi was wiped away from the water and ground. Luckily, the dark mass beneath the ground was more fortunate than the one above the ground. The two Blacksilver Pawns met different fates, one of them being smashed apart by the water column while the other shaped itself into an augur and drilled itself far away, leaving behind only some loosened soil in its wake. The water didnt seem to notice the slight difference and the second pawn buried itself deep before going still.

It also meant that Sage had to carve off large chunks of his soul in the process.

No one would dare to do such a crazy thing, but Sages soul had constantly been nourished by the Eye of the World. One of the first Heavenly Materials hed collected, it constantly consumed some of his Qi to produce its dark water that strengthened the soul. He bet that if any real Soul Cultivator knew what he did theyd want to rip him to shreds for how wasteful he was. Not only did he not take full advantage of this great resource, he wasted the hundred plus years of accumulation here just to fake his own death. Considering his lack of knowledge in the field of souls, Sage had usually let the Eye of the World create its drops passively rather than funneling all of his Qi into it to accelerate the growth of his soul. After this great setback, he was already altering the Inner World so that whenever his Qi was full it would send energy to the Eye of the World in order to put his rapid Qi regeneration to use rebuilding what hed lost. He also figured he might have to use a technique he hadnt bothered with for ages from the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent. He might have to use the Anima Devour to consume the souls of some beasts to grow his soul again. Since turning the Twin Soul into a Soul Clone hed never even thought of this technique again, but his Nascent Soul felt so weak right now he was reminded of this ancestral technique.

While he was contemplating this, there was a sudden change outside as someone snatched up the gold ring from the wreckage.
