Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

However, at this moment, everyone's gaze couldn't help but converge on a shadow within the sea barrier.

There, where the Xumi Sword Qi had slashed through, the silhouette of a black Water Buffalo flashed briefly only to be quickly submerged again in the turbulent currents of the sea barrier.

"This, is this a World Eater?!"

Qu Shentong found it hard to believe.

An Changshou, Xiong Zhaojing, and others around them all had extremely grave and tense expressions. While swiftly retreating, confusion also filled their hearts:

"Aren't World Eaters unable to enter? Why is there a World Eater appearing here?"

Their question was something even Elder Xumi didn't know how to explain.

But he was certain his feeling wasn't wrong—the silhouette in the sea barrier was completely different from any so-called Totem Beast, yet almost identical to those World Eaters that had appeared during the previous heavenly changes.

And just at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly burst forth from the waters below!

At the same time, this figure quickly spoke, answering the confusion in everyone's minds:

"Unable to enter, because of the Will of the heaven and earth of Little Cang World protecting it. However, here the Will of the heaven and earth is weak, naturally unable to prevent the World Eater's intrusion."

"Deputy Sect Master?"

"Daoist Yuanci?!"

Upon hearing this voice and seeing the newcomer, Qu Shentong and An Changshou immediately showed a look of joy.

But the figure hurriedly landed before everyone, clad in a black scaled robe, with a calm and profound countenance.

It was none other than Daoist Yuanci, who had ventured into the depths of the ocean to investigate the Truth Membrane Eye.

With a solemn face, he gravely said:

"The Membrane Eye at the bottom of the Eightfold Sea has grown significantly larger than when I last visited. I went down just now and happened to encounter this World Eater breaking through the Realm Membrane, so I carefully hid without rashly taking action—until just now, when it emerged, and I took the chance to leave."

"The urgent matter at hand is that everyone should quickly withdraw from the Eightfold Sea region!"

"Once outside the Eightfold Sea, with the Will of the heaven and earth present, the World Eater won't be able to break out."

At this, everyone's expression turned cold, and they prepared to fly towards the periphery of the Eightfold Sea.

However, Elder Xumi slightly furrowed his brows at this moment:

"But if we do so, I'm afraid we will no longer have the opportunity to resolve this Truth Membrane Eye."

"This..."

Qu Shentong and An Changshou exchanged glances, with all appearing somewhat troubled.

They hadn't reacted just now, but once Elder Xumi raised this issue, they all sobered up at once.

"Indeed! If we do not resolve the Truth Membrane Eye, this Membrane Eye will become larger and larger, and more and more outer-realm World Eaters will come through, until the Little Cang World completely collapses."

"This is merely the difference between dying sooner or later!"

An Changshou said in a deep voice:

"We must find a way to block the Membrane Eye!"

"Otherwise, we may escape on the first, but we can't escape the fifteenth!"

Qu Shentong's face turned extremely ugly, and after thinking, he asked in return:

"But this World Eater, even the weakest among them might be comparable to Immortal Ascension, or even Void Refining, how can we deal with it just by ourselves?"

"No, even if we count all the people of our Three Sects and One Clan right now, I'm afraid we will still be helpless."

An Changshou, Xiong Zhaojing, and the others were immediately silent.

The terrible encounter that Sect Master Shangguan Renci of the primitive Demonic Sect had after escaping to the outer realm during the past heavenly changes was vivid in their minds—how could they not be aware of the terror of World Eaters.

Although these World Eaters could not easily destroy the Realm Membrane, and the true stage of their power was most likely not too high.

But for the current Three Sects and One Clan, just any one of them was already more than enough.

Yet amidst this silence, Elder Xumi's voice suddenly rose again, without the slightest hesitation:

"I will try to lure it away from the Eightfold Sea region and, with the aid of the heaven and earth's power, eliminate the World Eater."

"Elder Xumi!"

Qu Shentong and Daoist Yuanci both changed their expressions.

"Rest assured, I am a Sword Cultivator, I won't be so easily captured."

Having said that, he paused, then without any hesitation flew rapidly towards the distant sea barrier!

The grandiose Sword Qi around him already took the lead in slashing into the sea barrier.

The silhouette of the World Eater in the form of a black Water Buffalo was revealed once again.

Whoosh!

The Sword Qi fiercely penetrated the eye of the black Water Buffalo before it could close!

"Moo——"

In that moment, the black Water Buffalo suddenly opened its mouth, full of dense sharp teeth, and emitted a terrifying sound of pain!

The next moment, the sea barrier which had lasted for who knows how many years, was shockingly ruptured by this mooing, breaking apart!

Torrential waves crashed down thunderously!

Countless jade-like spray soared high into the air.

Even Elder Xumi, who was rapidly approaching the black Water Buffalo, was shaken to the core!

The body of the Invisible Sword Artifact was directly jolted out of the Void.

"Elder Xumi!"

Qu Shentong couldn't help but take a step forward!

But just then, Daoist Yuanci pointed a finger before him.

The pervasive and tumultuous Yuanci force here instantly turned into a powerful suction, absorbing the Invisible Sword Artifact back in an instant!

Boom!

A colossal black hoof fell from the void, but it hit nothing.

It only caused the surrounding sea water to whirl as if the heavens and earth were turned upside down.

Like the end of days!

Elder Xumi's figure reappeared before Daoist Yuanci, his aura severely disordered.

Yet his eyes were firmly fixed on the black Water Buffalo, with a hint of unresolved doubt:

"Why does this World Eater remain there without moving?"
