Although Teacher Han and the others had their doubts, they dared not say anything under Liu Sha's seemingly weak but still unquestionable gaze. They could only move forward helplessly with long faces.
The short distance of just over ten meters felt like half a century to them.
Finally, the group cautiously approached a spot less than three meters from Liu Sha before stopping.
They tried their best to remain submissive and obedient, making themselves appear as if they had no fighting ability, so that Liu Sha would give up his plan to use them as cannon fodder.
However, for a high-level awakened individual, this distance is almost equivalent to face-to-face contact.
Just as they approached Liu Sha and stood close to him.
Before Teacher Han could speak again...
In the depths of Liu Sha's turbid eyes, a mad, eerie light that had been suppressed for so long suddenly shone!
"Sand Sea Devours Spirits!!!"
The hoarse voice, like the murmur of a demon, suddenly became clear and cold, exploding in the ears of Teacher Han and the others!
"What?!"
"Sir?!"
Teacher Han and Expert Zhao immediately sensed something was wrong, their expressions changed drastically, and they were terrified!
The extreme sense of crisis made the hairs on their bodies stand on end!
They unleashed their energy in resistance, attempting to retreat at all costs.
But it was too late.
The distance was too close, and Liu Sha had been plotting this for a long time!
They had long since lost their last chance to leave.
"Shh...shh...shh..."
Suddenly, countless grains of sand and gravel erupted from the platform!
They seemed to be instantly infused with a violent life force, no longer inanimate objects, but instead filled with a desire to erode and devour.
Terrifying sandstorms erupted one after another out of nowhere, frantically converging and sweeping inward!
Like a gaping maw of an abyss, it swept up all the approaching Awakened Ones and surged toward Liu Sha in the center.
The horrified Teacher Han, Expert Zhao, and the awakened guardians of the Changsheng Gate were all completely swallowed up by the sandstorm!
"No! Lord Liu Sha! Spare me!"
Teacher Han's desperate scream was instantly drowned out by the roar of sand and gravel.
"Help! Let me go! I'll do whatever you say!" Expert Zhao's screams were extremely shrill.
"My eyes! Sand... Sand got into my body! Ah—!!!" The pleas and cries of the others were equally brief and desperate.
The piercing screams were accompanied by the crunching sound of bones being crushed and the tearing sound of flesh being rubbed and torn by sand and gravel, all mixed together.
The Black Brothers, the distinguished guests, and the healing-type awakened individuals opposite them were horrified and felt a chill run down their spines.
Inside the desert, however, lies a true hellish scene.
The sand and gravel, squeezed at high speed, each carry a unique corrosive energy.
Like billions of tiny files, they relentlessly grind down everything that gets caught in them!
Those tiny grains of sand, like living, greedy parasites, kept burrowing into their bodies through their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears!
It is carrying out a more thorough and cruel destruction and devouring from within!
Their bodies crumbled like paper, skin, muscle, and bone peeling away inch by inch...
Everything that exists is swiftly shattered in a desperate struggle!
The essence of life, the energy of flesh and blood, fragments of spirit, and even the faint fluctuations of the soul...
All the qualities that belong to "life" are being ground away and extracted by this terrifying sea of sand.
Liu Sha stood expressionless in the center of the desert, listening to the screams of his 'colleagues' without any reaction, and even closed his eyes.
In just over ten seconds, the screams and struggles within the churning sand quickly faded and eventually fell into silence.
Only then did he slightly open his mouth, and at the same time, all the pores on his body opened up, greedily absorbing the flesh and blood energy fed back from the sand sea.
The life essence, mixed with various energy fragments, was frantically pouring into his body through every grain of sand around him.
This move, "Sand Sea Devouring Spirit," is a forbidden technique he created by combining some of the principles of the Longevity Sect's plundering of life essence with the help of headquarters and deeply integrating it with his sand-type supernatural abilities.
Using itself as a furnace and sand and stones as a medium, it forcibly devours all life energy in the vicinity, using its essence to replenish itself, repair injuries, and even temporarily and significantly enhance its strength.
The price was extremely cruel, but for Liu Sha herself, there was no real backlash.
The only drawback might be the moral constraints that those old fogies talk about.
Everything about Teacher Han, Expert Zhao, and others—including their lives, energy, and even traces of their existence—was completely swallowed and digested by Liu Sha's sea of sand.
Only a few dark red stains that quickly seeped into the cracks of the gravel were left at the feet, along with some bone fragments and clothing debris that could not be completely absorbed.
As all the energy was absorbed, the rolling sand waves slowly calmed down and contracted, gathering again at Liu Sha's feet.
Liu Sha suddenly opened her eyes!
A faint, blood-red yellow light flashed in his eyes.
The charred, smoking, and stubbornly burning crimson flame hole on the shoulder blade was finally completely covered by yellow sand, and a turbid yet powerful earthy yellow energy was forcibly poured in, constantly washing away the sand!
The troublesome crimson flames were forcefully extinguished by this mixed energy that combined the life essence of dozens of awakened beings!
The charred and carbonized edges of the wound visibly began to wriggle and heal rapidly.
Liu Sha gently twisted her left arm, which had fully recovered, making a soft "crack" sound.
He then raised his powerful left hand again and clenched it into a fist.
Feeling the surging, seemingly overflowing, violent energy within him, he felt a sense of satisfaction mixed with a touch of playful mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse.
