"Ugh—!!!"

The sacred chants resounded throughout the battlefield!

A massive shield of light, composed of seven-colored black light, transformed into a giant wall that connected the seven-colored black light within the numerous demon god projections, instantly blocking the path in front of Mark, Ellen, Anna, Enzo, and the surrounding Elf Queens Eliria and Thranduil!

Boom! Boom!

Two destructive shockwaves slammed into the light shield, unleashing blinding energy turbulence!

The light shield trembled violently, its surface rippled wildly, yet it remained as steadfast as the most solid reef, firmly blocking the deadly energy torrent outside!

Only the escaping shockwaves cracked the ground and filled the air with smoke and dust.

Amidst the chaotic smoke and turbulent energy, at the very moment when Ellen's spatial blockade was torn open by the self-destruction!

Deep within the Hall of Eternal Rest, a withered figure, like a ghost, moved with incredible speed, slipping through a hole in the wall created by the aftershocks of the explosion and instantly disappearing into the depths of the hall's underground!

It was the white-haired elder who was in the lead!

That's his true form!

He no longer looked decayed or dying at this moment.

The speed was so fast and the aura so refined and steady that it far surpassed the performance of the previous clone outside the hall!

Clearly, the cowardice, fear, and even being terrified by Anna's arrow were all an act!

The purpose is to achieve this final escape!

Without turning his head, his body transformed into a dim green light that almost blended into the environment, and plunged into the brief spatial rift deep underground that had been torn open by the self-destruction and connected to the hidden teleportation array!

Only a single, venomous, and curse-filled shriek echoed in the depths of the consciousness of everyone before the Hall of Eternal Rest, like a cold, poisonous snake, before the spatial rift completely closed:

"Ariria! Anna! And you damned human heretics! Lackeys of the Abyss! I will remember this humiliation, this hatred of our annihilation! When I descend again, I will unleash a sea of ​​blood from the Abyss, drowning the Elven Forest! And imprison your souls forever..."

Before the harsh words could be finished, the spatial rift had completely closed, and the aura of the white-haired elder vanished without a trace, like a drop of water entering the sea.

"You old bastard!! Where do you think you're going!" Enzo's roar sent dust flying, and dark lightning flashed on his rune hammer as he chased after the breach.

"Enzo! Come back!" Elaine's cold voice carried a hint of weariness, and the blood at the corner of her mouth was still wet.

She maintained the Star Moon Black Gold with one hand, while using the other hand to forcefully suppress the surging blood and qi within her body.

"The spatial node is completely shut down; we can't catch up now. He sacrificed the two elders' clones to self-destruct, just to tear open this sliver of hope. Although the price was enormous, he succeeded."

"We can't let him get away like that!" Enzo roared in frustration, his lava-like beard bristling. "My hammer hasn't even smashed his old face yet!"

Just then, the projections of the Ice Crystal Giant Lizard, Poison Ivy, and Withered Tree, whose demonic energy had been thinned by the shockwave of the explosion and whose forms had become even more illusory, could no longer suppress their greed for the "sacrifice".

The white-haired elder has run away, but the presence of two elders remains in the hall!

They let out low roars, carrying with them the remaining abyssal demonic energy, and like hungry wolves smelling blood, they rushed to smash open the crumbling doors of the Eternal Sleep Palace and surged in!

The hall was filled with smoke and dust, and was in a complete mess.

However, when the demonic energy dissipated slightly, the scene reflected in the deep eyes of the demon gods caused them to let out confused and disappointed cries.

Inside the hall, beneath two massive ancient wooden pillars, the skeletal elder and the short, stout elder lay slumped on the ground like two soulless, decaying wooden statues.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, their mouths were slightly open with drool dripping from them, and the epic aura that had once been powerful despite its decay was completely gone!

Not even a trace of magic or divinity could be sensed; all that remained was a withered, dying creature!

They looked like two empty shells that had been drained of all their essence in an instant!

"Hmm?" Little Mu shrank in size and curiously hopped in front of one of the elders. The pink dumpling rubbed against the elder's unresponsive arm, then bounced away in disgust.

"What's going on?" Monica's figure emerged from the shadows.

The [Domain of Insight] swept across the two bodies in an instant, its cold voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "Life force, magic power, divine essence... all depleted! Souls... also torn apart in large parts, leaving only remnants to keep the bodies from disintegrating. They... are ruined, completely turned into mindless living dead."

“The parasitic seed…” Elf Queen Aria Eldrinval entered the palace with Thranduil’s help.

Looking at the two dazed bodies, her beautiful face was filled with shock, anger, and deep sorrow, and her voice trembled: "He actually... actually used an evil secret technique that the Elven race had long sealed away and regarded as taboo!"

All eyes immediately focused on her.

Eileen retrieved the Star Moon Black Gold, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and frowned: "The Parasitic Seed?"

“Yes…” Arielia took a deep breath, suppressing her surging emotions, and explained to everyone in a heavy voice, “This is an evil secret technique that originated from a mutation of a branch of the Tree of Life.”

"The caster can transform their own life essence into an invisible seed, silently parasitizing the target's body. Normally dormant, it is extremely difficult to detect; the parasite can even share the host's life force to sustain itself. But once activated..."

She closed her eyes in pain.

"The parasitic seed will instantly devour all of the host's life force, magic power, and even divine essence, and feed it back to the caster! It will be completely drained like nutrients!"

"The host's soul will also suffer severe damage, turning them into a walking corpse... This is a forbidden technique that was sealed away by the ancestors of the Elven race because it was too cruel and evil!"

She surveyed her elven people, their faces filled with shock at hearing the truth, followed by boundless anger and lingering fear, and her voice carried a heavy, sorrowful strength:

"If you hadn't exposed him in time and severely injured him, if he hadn't had to act prematurely to escape and plant this evil seed on his own clan elders..."

"Given time, in order to prolong his decaying life, those he plants the seeds of parasitism in will likely not only be the 'heretics' in his eyes, but all the people of my elven race! The entire Elven Forest will become his granary for his lingering existence!"

These words struck the hearts of every elf like a heavy hammer.

Thranduil and the remaining royal guards gripped their weapons with trembling hands. Their gazes toward the two senile bodies had shifted from disdain to deep fear and relief.

Fearful of the Grand Elder's ruthlessness, yet relieved that this catastrophic disaster was nipped in the bud before it could fully erupt!

It was only then that they realized why the Elven race had always sent heretics to the Temple of Eternal Sleep to execute them!

"You old beast!" Enzo spat fiercely, his molten rage finding an outlet. "Using your own people as firewood, you're even more disgusting than those bastards from the Enlightenment Society! Next time I catch him, I'll stuff him into the furnace and turn him into ashes!"
