But now, he suddenly realized that the bodies surrounding Su Han were gradually losing contact with him.
"What is that? What is devouring me?"
The centipede's numerous compound eyes were turning. After a brief hesitation, it suddenly connected its consciousness to its body, and then it felt an indescribable vastness.
His missing limbs seemed to be in another world.
Mist rises, stars dot the sky, each star seems like an entire world, with countless figures moving about.
That world seemed to be the primordial chaos before the creation of heaven and earth, or the embryonic form of the world just born from the Big Bang, newly created...
His body was continuously absorbed and integrated, entering this nascent world.
"Where exactly is this place?" The centipede was trembling with fear.
He felt his consciousness being gradually swallowed up by this space. His heart was filled with fear; this was the first time he had felt fear since becoming a follower of the evil god.
He thought that even if he were sealed away or obliterated, he wouldn't be afraid. "Run...run! I can't stay here any longer, I'll die..."
Suddenly, the centipede stopped its escape attempt. It saw a mysterious and unfathomable palace at the end of the mist.
At the very top of that hall sat a bronze throne. A figure shrouded in mist stood silently there. He seemed to be one with the world… no, His status transcended this nascent universe…
Consciousness completely vanished. The centipede was dazed, and countless cold sweats broke out on its remaining body.
"That mysterious being... that eerie feeling... is it also an evil god? It seems even more powerful than my lord... No! Perhaps it really is more powerful than my lord. Is that being creating a completely new universe?"
The creator of the universe. The centipede spider also possessed human knowledge; it knew what this concept meant, but it simply couldn't imagine what a colossal being it truly was.
Even if he regarded his Lord above all else... he didn't believe his Lord was capable of such a thing...
Su Han took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the centipede spider. The enormous octopus monster let out a sharp cry, and countless tentacles lashed out towards Su Han, only to be completely swallowed up by the darkness surrounding him.
"You and...He, who exactly are you?" The centipede's remaining eyes stared intently at Su Han as he murmured, "Or are you the holy son of a supreme newborn lord?"
Without resistance, he seemed to willingly allow himself to be completely swallowed by Su Han's dark acupoints. Even in his dying moments, his eyes gradually filled with fervor, as if it were an honor, and he whispered, "To merge with a newborn universe..."
The enormous octopus monster instinctively swung one of its tentacles, but missed the centipede spider. Its tentacle, which had been waving in mid-air, stopped abruptly.
After a brief silence, he realized something, and then... a stupid and frantic shriek suddenly rang out.
"Aaaaaaah!"
The enormous octopus monster has gone completely mad.
His seemingly rational mind was entirely maintained by the centipede. Now that the centipede is dead, he has lost his rationality.
The evil energy erupted completely. It all converged into the enormous octopus monster's body, which continued to expand. Although the veins on its body were bulging, as if it could explode like a bomb at any moment, it still didn't care.
The rapidly growing tentacles lashed out towards Su Han with tremendous force, cracking the very void beneath them.
"Boring!" Su Han's eyes snapped open, unleashing a terrifying burst of pupil power.
Susanoo, open!
Chakra spread around his body, and in just a few breaths, it condensed into the complete Susanoo, a terrifying existence as large as a mountain, whose size even far surpassed that of the octopus monster.
He made a grasping motion in his hand, which materialized into a long sword, and then slashed down with a thunderous roar.
A terrifying burst of chakra power erupted, tearing apart all the tentacles that blocked its path. This fierce sword strike cleaved the entire octopus monster in two.

Chapter 88 The Truth of the Misty Space... What exactly is it?
“…Swallow!” As Su Han finished speaking, the darkness belonging to the Dark-Dark Fruit spread outward from the longsword.
The enormous octopus's remains were swallowed up by darkness like water. And... the darkness continued to spread, until it enveloped the entire eerie realm...
With a loud clang, the void shattered, revealing the real world. Susanoo dissipated, and Su Han's figure floated silently in mid-air.
Xu Changnan stared blankly at Su Han's figure floating in mid-air, his lips trembling violently, his forehead covered in cold sweat. "Just now... what was that?!"
As a Holy Lord, Xu Changnan's life has undoubtedly been extraordinary. Whether the heavens collapse or the earth cracks, as long as the evil phenomena don't completely erupt and threaten to engulf the entire world, he can calmly accept it and then do his utmost to find a solution…
However, what happened tonight still left him in a daze, as if he were in a dream.
"Darkness... was swallowed by him? He is... no! He can't be a follower of an evil god. The energy aura around him is still filled with order... wait!?"
Xu Changnan suddenly recalled a passage he had seen in an ancient text: "It seems that... the ancient sages could tear apart the wall of the void! Banishing endless evil energy to the outside world? Perhaps what he did just now was not absorption... but banishment."
Xu Changnan remained silent. Although he had initially believed Su Han was a candidate for sainthood, there were still differences between candidates. After all, a candidate could only be said to be qualified to step into the realm of sainthood…
Is it the same as having one foot in the Saintly Realm and still being a mid-level Saint Lord, merely qualified to step into the Saintly Realm? The difference is enormous! This difference even surpasses the gap between an ordinary Saint Lord and a cultivator at the First Yuan Realm...
"This guy can already use some of the abilities of the Sage Realm?" Xu Changnan subconsciously reached out and covered his forehead, feeling as if he was about to faint.
What kind of monster is this young Holy Lord? What is his strength...? He doesn't seem like a mid-level Holy Lord at all...
Xu Changnan originally thought he had roughly figured out Su Han's realm... but now he suddenly realized that he actually didn't understand anything at all... there were far too many mysteries surrounding this young Holy Lord in front of him.
Su Han slowly landed beside Xu Changnan, raising an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" After a brief silence, Xu Changnan suddenly turned to look outside.
Night has fallen, and lights are coming on one by one. A few pedestrians are walking on the street, creating a peaceful, busy, and warm atmosphere.
"What a wonderful world." Su Han's gaze followed Xu Changnan's as he looked into the distance, his words tinged with a touch of emotion.
“Indeed!” Xu Changnan nodded seriously. Looking at the scene before him, his shaken heart suddenly calmed down, and a smile appeared on his lips, clearly a heartfelt joy.
