Chapter 129: Origin Space, Shattered!
Brrr!
The origin space was quaking, and it felt as if it was on the brink of destruction.
Despite being a dimension where both space and time were meaningless, the existence within the starry sky had threatened to collapse the isolated space!
In the next moment, Catherine discovered that the monstrous entity was actually attempting to enter the origin space!
‘Can this dimension even contain that being’s power!?’
Catherine was downright terrified. Nevertheless, she maintained her respectful stance and was still firmly prostrating on the ground. She dared not even raise her head to take a peek at the approaching entity.
The intense pressure from the entity became increasingly stronger. In the end, it had presented itself in its corporeal form.
Catherine’s entire body trembled. She did not know what would happen next, and that had terrified her greatly.
‘Will this entity destroy this dimension with its presence? this terrifying existence, and she and Marx would be buried together in it?’
While Catherine’s thoughts ran wild, the intense and crushing pressure from before had already vanished without a trace.
Catherine trembled upon this realization. She dared not raise her head immediately. Instead, she waited obediently, and only after a long wait did she finally raise her gaze.
The spatial fracture in the origin space had yet to disappear. This had proven that the scenes that she had seen earlier were no illusions.
When Catherine turned to look at Max, she could feel her heart stop.
At this moment, although Max was still lying limply on the ground, the terrifying astral projection behind him had entered his body!
The originally scattered wisps of light suddenly burst out at this moment. Tens of thousands of wisps burst forth like fireflies in the night sky!
“How is this possible!?”
Catherine subconsciously cried out in surprise upon noticing this scene.
She simply could not fathom what was occurring before her!
‘Why would such a godly being willingly enter his body!?’
After all, the godly being she was referring to was an existence capable of collapsing the origin space itself!
Unless both souls were compatible, such a forceful entry into Max’s body would definitely destroy him from the inside out!
Catherine paused as if she had realized something.
She looked at Max, and an incomparably fearful expression appeared in her eyes.
An extremely terrifying thought appeared in Catherine’s mind.
‘Could it be...’
‘Could this terrifying entity who’s capable of tearing open a spatial rift...’
‘This existence that’s capable of collapsing an origin space...’
‘This existence that can shatter my bones and organs with just a single glance...’
‘Be the future form of the Red Dragon Hatchling?’
The shock in Catherine’s eyes was not concealed at all.
With the support of his newfound power, Max gradually regained his footing.
His originally weak aura had already disappeared and it was replaced by the domineering aura of a king.
He radiated an aura that would make the world grovel at his feet.
Crack.
The sound of something shattering could be heard audibly within the origin space.
The huge rift in the air of the origin space expanded.
However, the shattering sound was only the beginning. Soon after, large cracks began to spread across the origin space like a spider web!
In the next moment, the origin space itself had been torn asunder. As far as Catherine was concerned, the world before her had been split into two halves.
The origin space had vanished!
And so too did Catherine’s life!
Countless spatial turbulence suddenly appeared around Max at this moment. The immense energy he possessed that was capable of mass destruction, flowed wantonly across his scales.
The spatial disruptions were extremely powerful, and even an Ancient Dragon like Catherine would be gravely wounded by the disruptions, let alone a weak little dragon like Max?
However, the current Max was different. After being injected with the powerful space-traversing entity, Max was completely unscathed by the spatial turbulence occurring around him!
However, even though Max was unable to be harmed by the spatial turbulence, their numbers were gradually increasing. They seemed to be sucking in the greyish-black vestiges of the broken origin space, and before long, Max was caught in the turbulences-turned-whirlpool of darkness!
A trace of disdain flashed across Max’s eyes.
The origin space whirlpool erupted at this moment!
Rumble!
A terrifying thunderclap that resounded throughout the nine heavens rang out within the meadows mountain range!
The mountain range trembled violently at this moment. As a result of the terrifying thunderclap, countless creatures living within the mountain range had been shaken to death!
Bohr village, near the lord’s mansion...
Countless individuals were bleeding from their orifices. Had they not found cover and dodged the brunt of the thunderclap, they would likely have suffered even greater casualties!
At the spot closest to where Marx had released the Thunder, Molmo and Osse were directly torn apart by the terrifying sound wave! freewebnovel.co(m)
Countless thin threads covered their bodies.
They were destroyed, then quickly recovered, and then destroyed again!
This continued for a few minutes, and it was a continuous process.
In the bustling human world that lay far beyond the border of the desert, countless powerhouses turned towards the far north at the same time!
An extremely rare emotion flashed across their eyes.
It was fear!
It had been many years since they had last shown such an expression!
They could clearly detect the presence of a calamity-level threat in the far north!
It was not the type of existence that they could resist against. Should they try to stop it, they would be like lambs to a slaughter.
They were certain that the existence in the far north was capable of wiping out human civilization with the bat of an eye!
The subordinates of these powerhouses did not share their superior’s honed senses. Nevertheless, despite not understanding what had occurred, they could tell just from the powerhouses’ expressions alone that something major had transpired!
In the distant imperial palace, the visage of the Old King, who was playing with Little Tess, had suddenly contorted into a hideous expression.
“What... What is this?”
“How could an entity be this suffocating!”
...
Putting aside the incident where that the entire continent had been shaken by the aftermath of Max shattering the origin space...
Max’s figure slowly descended from the sky.
Despite not flapping the wings on his back, he was able to levitate with the assistance of a mystical, cosmic-like energy.
Max had suffered serious wounds. Not only had his internal organs suffered great blows, the injuries he had sustained across his bones, wings, and claws were also severe.
It could be said that with such injuries, even an Ancient Dragon would find it difficult to stand up, much less fly in the sky like Max.
His gaze was extremely cold, and he was scanning across the ground, devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, despite not opening his mouth, he could hear his own voice resounding around him.
“You are still far too weak. Even an ant can easily squash you.”
“Had I not shattered the origin space, it would have already noticed you.”
“Hurry up and grow stronger. You don’t have much time left.”
Max muttered to himself.
In the next moment, the mysterious energy around Max vanished. With his support now gone, Max’s heavily injured body plummeted from the sky.
Max crashed into the ground with a bang.
Fortunately for him, the ground was covered by a thick layer of snow, and it had helped him absorb a portion of the impact. Otherwise, with the injuries that he had sustained, Max would most likely perish.
Nevertheless, Max still spat out a mouthful of blood.
Contained within his blood were some ice shards and some crushed internal organs.
Max forced a bitter smile as he observed the poor state his body was in.
The figure that had torn through space earlier was his future self.
Max had not expected his future self to possess such powerful abilities.
‘To think that I’m capable of tearing through space and time in the future...’
However, Max noticed that there was something particular about this incident. His victory against Catherine was already practically guaranteed upon using the Battle of Existence. In that case, why did his future self still traversed through space and time just to possess him?
‘Traversing space and time must not be an easy feat, even for my future self...’
Suddenly, Max recalled a sentence that his future self had previously said.
[ Had I not shattered the origin space, it would have already noticed you ]
‘What does this mean?’
‘Would something terrifying have noticed me had my future self not assisted me?’
The fact that his future self had gone to such great lengths just to travel back in time had shown just how powerful and terrifying the unknown entity was.
‘It seems that I’ll have to keep a low profile.’
Max thought to himself.
There were still too many beings in this world that were beyond his comprehension. With the level of strength that he currently possessed, he was incapable of protecting himself.
Upon this thought, Max decided that once he had returned to Mia’s side and treated her, he would start training and keep a low profile as much as possible.th and keep a low profile as much as possible.
He would not act rashly until he possessed sufficient strength to protect himself.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!”
Max spat out another mouthful of blood. His breath was extremely dispirited.
Max was in a severely weak state. At this point, even an ordinary adult human was capable of killing him.
If not for the fact that Max had devoured Catherine’s strength, the wounds that he had sustained would likely have taken his life.
His mana was practically exhausted, and all his charges of the Invincible Golden Body have also been used up.
As if to add salt onto the wound, the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal that was already freezingly cold earlier had now radiated an even more intense wave of coldness. It was bone-chillingly cold, and he could feel his tongue going numb.
Although Max had succeeded in using the Battle of existence to devour Catherine, due to the origin space shattering, Max was unable to immediately reap the rewards of his victory. He would need some time before he would fully receive Catherine’s power.
Feeling the countless blood vessels and veins in his body slowly recovering, Max finally closed his eyes in peace.
Max made a rough calculation. It would probably take him a full 10 days before he could completely digest Catherine’s strength. As for the healing time of his body, it would probably take more than 5 days, only then would he be able to recover 80% of his original combat strength.
Marx did not have too many thoughts, and directly drilled a hole in the snow.
At this moment, because of his serious injuries, Max’s movements were extremely slow. Fortunately, the shockwaves from his future self shattering the origin space earlier had shocked most of the living beings within his vicinity to death, and thus, he had plenty of time to dig a hole to rest in.
Max’s dug at a snail’s pace. It had taken him half-an-hour just to dig a hole large enough for half of his body to hide in.
After another hour or so, Max’s figure was finally concealed from view.
Other than the pieces of Max’s internal organs and fresh blood that were splattered on the ground, there was nothing else that indicated his presence there.
The cold wind blew across the mountain peak, and everything there was once again covered by frost.
It was as if the battle between the Ancient Dragon and the Dragon Hatchling had never taken place.
...
In the snowy mountain less than 10 kilometers away from where Max was.
Molmo and Osse slowly sat up from the snowy ground.
They had fainted because of the terrifying soundwaves from the origin space’s shattering, and they were unaware of how much time had since passed.
The only thing Molmo could be sure of was that he had “died” at least a dozen times, and quite possibly even more.
If not for his strong willpower, Molmo would likely have given up and died for real.
Looking at his body that was still buried in the thick snow, Molmo estimated the time that had since passed.
‘It’s probably been 3 to 4 days...’
Osse, who was at his side, was also slowly getting up. After taking a glance at the ice and snow around him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Osse?”
Osse’s eyes were dead serious. Sensing the raging frost energy in the air, he stretched out his hand and slowly received the snowflakes falling from the sky.
“The master of the mountains is no longer with us.”
