When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 380 Capturing the Universe

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu, who was reshaping the last life-bearing planet in the entire Archean Eon, had a slight smile on his lips.

"Finally took the bait!"

Before the little ones protecting him could react, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly took them away from where they were.

"Ninth Brother...!"

"Shh...!" Zhu Chongjiu interrupted Xiao Hei and transmitted his voice to everyone through his divine sense.

"Surround it! We absolutely cannot let it escape."

"I understand, Ninth Brother. If it gets away, I'll offer my head to you." Little Jin replied fiercely.

A cosmic cloud large enough to cover an entire star field has just devoured a life-bearing planet that Zhu Chongjiu has just reshaped, and is now rapidly advancing towards the next life-bearing planet.

"what happened?

These planets were purified by my absorption of all life not long ago, so why have they recovered to their original state in just a few short years?

but……?

Although its vitality has been restored, it lacks the most basic spirit of a life-bearing planet.

This sentient cosmic cloud pondered for a long time, but ultimately couldn't come up with a solution.

"Never mind, all I need is the essence of life anyway."

The absence of those "spirits" actually saved me a lot of trouble and effort.

Otherwise, not only would I have to painstakingly refine those "spirits" that are of no use to me, but I would also have to bear the myriad distracting thoughts within those spirits.

Just as this sentient cosmic cloud reached its next target, which it was about to devour, a human figure appeared out of nowhere in front of it.

"Huh? Danger!"

The once sky-covering clouds suddenly shrank to the size of a mustard seed and vanished from Zhu Chongjiu's sight after someone blocked his way.

"snort……!

Want to run?

Brothers, let's charge!

With Zhu Chongjiu's command, the "Five Elements Wind and Thunder Array," which he temporarily created for this sentient cosmic cloud using Xiao Hei as the array's core, was instantly formed.

Why use Xiao Hei as the core of the formation? Of course, it's because Xiao Hei feeds on the Zhouyun. When it comes to understanding the Zhouyun, no one present, including Zhu Chongjiu, can compare to Xiao Hei.

With Xiao Hei at the center of the formation, controlling the "Five Elements Wind and Thunder" set up by the remaining seven little ones besides Xiong Da, that sentient cosmic cloud had nowhere to escape this time.

"Who are you, and why are you arresting me?" A chilling voice, seemingly composed of countless voices, angrily questioned Zhu Chongjiu and the others.

“A beast is a beast, especially a beast like you who has just gained sentience.”

Even at this point, you're still asking who we are?

"Look at what you've done!" Little Black in the center of the formation retorted angrily to the sentient cosmic cloud.

"Brother Hei, there seems to be something wrong with the way you're cursing."

This cosmic cloud seems to be the same in essence as us.

When you call him a beast, aren't you just insulting ourselves?

The word "beast," in particular, seems more fitting than "you" and "Brother Xiong" are.

Xiao Jin, who was controlling the formation from the outside, secretly transmitted his voice to Xiao Hei.

"We are us, and it is it. How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? They cannot be compared."

Xiao Hei scratched his head awkwardly and replied to Xiao Jin.

"Do you really want to fight me to the death?"

That chilling sound once again reached everyone's ears.

Meanwhile, seeing that he could not escape the encirclement anytime soon, Zhou Yun, who had transformed into a mustard seed, reverted to his true form.

"You think you're worthy of a fight to the death?"

Now I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you answer truthfully, I might consider making your death feel a little better.

Just as Zhou Yun uttered the words "fight to the death," Zhu Chongjiu suddenly spoke up to him.

"Humph!

I became a spirit through the Great Dao. Although I have never possessed any powerful talents or supernatural abilities, based on my essence, it is simply wishful thinking for you to think you can control me forever.

Not to mention trying to kill me completely.

The chilling words had barely left his lips when the cosmic cloud, which had been floating quietly in the void, suddenly began to stir.

Countless humanoid creatures screamed and struggled within the cosmic cloud, frantically rushing forward, seemingly trying to break free from its constraints.

However, no matter how hard these humanoid creatures were enveloped by the cosmic cloud, they could not escape from it.

Ultimately, driven by these humanoid creatures, Zhou Yun crashed madly toward the edge of the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Formation.

With a loud boom, the entire formation trembled violently.

"Oh no! Those humanoid creatures inside the cosmic cloud are the 'spirits' of all intelligent life!"

It is using the power of these "spirits" to break through the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Formation.

It seems that this cosmic cloud has only absorbed the life force, and it has not yet completely digested these "spirits".

We must stop it immediately. Every second, billions of lives are being completely consumed by its collision with the great formation.

Moreover, given the nature of the Zhouyun, which is devoid of any laws, the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Formation could not contain it for too long.

Before long, the great formation will be rendered intangible by its very nature.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu hardened his heart.

"Let's see who can take it longer today!"

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu's Myriad Laws Dao enveloped the entire Zhouyun.

"Brothers, control the outer perimeter of my formation."

If I can't hold on and it escapes my Path of Myriad Laws, please help me stop it.

Within Zhu Chongjiu's Myriad Laws Dao, "Based on your inherent qualities, if there is any external force involved, I can easily strip those 'spirits' from your body."

"Hmph! Let's see if you'll be the first to strip away the 'spirit' from my body, or if I'll be the first to dissolve your Dao?"

As Zhou Yun finished speaking, a protracted battle between it and Zhu Chongjiu began.

As one "spirit" after another flew out from Zhu Chongjiu's Myriad Laws Path, as if guided by a compass, they rushed straight into the body that Zhu Chongjiu had already reshaped.

A day later, he saw that the "spirit" in his body had been completely stripped away by that person.

Meanwhile, the opponent's Dao continues to replenish the areas that have already been assimilated by it.

Zhou Yun was already terrified.

"Impossible, how could your Dao be so powerful?"

"If it were an ordinary Venerable-level being, they really wouldn't be able to withstand your essence assimilation for even a short while."

But your opponent is me.

There is a universe that is already taking shape inside me.

I'll say it again: if you can honestly answer my questions, I might let you die a little easier.

Zhou Yun pondered for a moment, and the chilling voice that had been there before had disappeared.

Instead, a rather immature voice arrogantly said to Zhu Chongjiu, "So what if your Dao is boundless and profound?"

It will run out of use someday.

Given my nature, what means do you have to kill me?

At that time, I will break through the encirclement and be free and unrestrained.

You are in the light, I am in the dark!

I don't believe you can protect this universe for a lifetime.

Hahaha……!"

After saying that, Zhou Yun burst into wild laughter.

"is it?"

Zhu Chongjiu slowly drew his greatsword from his storage ring.

"I admit that my path cannot kill you, but that doesn't mean my sword cannot destroy you!"

A sword aura capable of annihilating endless forces slowly flowed from the great sword.

Upon seeing this, Zhouyun noticed that its enormous body trembled slightly the moment it saw the great sword.

"What's this?

The aura of something chaotic?

How did you come to possess such a divine weapon?

Zhu Chongjiu did not answer Zhou Yun's three questions.

Instead, he repeated his previous statement, asking the other person to answer his question.

"Okay, you ask!"

"He won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin." The moment Zhu Chongjiu saw his great sword appear, the other party immediately cowered and began asking about things that had puzzled him.
