Unlike Mu Huaji and Tengu Boy, who used their own Power to passively defend themselves.

Susanoo chose to meet it head-on, ending his own life in the process.

The sixth wave of the Celestial Tribulation was at least twice as powerful as the fifth.

Relying on his immense strength, second only to Amaterasu, Susanoo actually managed to withstand every bolt of celestial lightning in the sixth wave!

However, just as the final bolt of lightning from the sixth wave dissipated...

...Susanoo’s body plummeted from the sky, landing in the void not far from Tengu Boy, dead as a doornail.

Chu Sheng remained hidden near Tengu Boy’s corpse, patiently waiting for the perfect moment.

Of the five Sakura Ancient Gods, three were now dead. Only Amaterasu and the Rain Maiden remained.

He watched as the Rain Maiden, holding that tattered Oil Paper Umbrella, silently walked to Amaterasu’s side. She raised the umbrella over Amaterasu’s head, as if to shield him from the impending celestial lightning.

’Are those two really having an affair?’ Chu Sheng lay in the void, watching the drama unfold with great interest as his mind filled with gossip.

Just as he was enjoying the show, Amaterasu’s expression suddenly darkened.

"Damn it!!!"

He didn’t look at the Celestial Tribulation overhead, nor did he thank the Rain Maiden. Instead, he violently snatched the umbrella from her hand.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, he thrust his other hand viciously into the Rain Maiden’s skull!

The Rain Maiden didn’t scream. Her expression was wooden, like a puppet.

"I sent two avatars to this world as a contingency."

Amaterasu gritted his teeth, his voice filled with resentment and fury.

"I never thought I’d have to sacrifice one of them here today!"

"You damned mosquito! This is all your fault!"

"Once I escape this Celestial Tribulation, I’ll tear you to shreds and scatter your ashes!"

Chu Sheng was completely unfazed by Amaterasu’s curses.

He just hadn’t expected Amaterasu to have such a trick up his sleeve!

Mu Huaji, Tengu Boy, and Susanoo had each only sent a single avatar.

But Amaterasu had sent two.

And one of them was a woman!

’Playing both male and female roles by himself, and still managing to generate romance rumors...’

’No wonder no one could figure it out.’

’So twisted!!!’

But on second thought, Chu Sheng found it understandable.

’Isn’t the entire Sakura mythology supposedly "created" by a pair of blood siblings?’

’What’s a little stunt like this to them!’

Leaving aside Chu Sheng’s frantic internal commentary...

Amaterasu absorbed all the Origin power from the Rain Maiden’s body into his own.

The Rain Maiden’s body, like weathered stone, completely disintegrated in the blink of an eye.

After absorbing all of the avatar’s power, Amaterasu’s aura began to skyrocket.

In a matter of moments, his Cultivation skyrocketed from the Emperor Realm Middle Stage to the Late Stage.

He was just one step away from the Peak of Emperor Realm!

"It’s still not quite enough."

Amaterasu said with some dissatisfaction, his brow furrowed as he felt the power within him.

"But with only three waves of the lightning tribulation left, it should be enough."

He took a deep breath and fully unleashed his Power of Law, condensing a massive black sun above his head to resist the coming seventh wave of the Celestial Tribulation.

The drama-loving mosquito, with no more show to watch, finally got down to business.

First, he flew over to Tengu Boy’s corpse, raised his proboscis, and plunged it in.

[Ding! Top-Grade Emperor Realm Qi Blood absorbed! Qi Blood +1,500,000. Estimated digestion time: one and a half hours. Estimated gain upon completion: 150,000 Evolution Points.]

[Ding! Top-Grade Emperor Realm Soul Power absorbed! Soul Power +450,000.]

[Ding! Detected a large amount of Earth Realm Power. Absorption in progress...]

...

He continued to absorb and convert simultaneously.

Soon, Tengu Boy met the same fate as Mu Huaji.

Without pausing, Chu Sheng immediately rushed toward Susanoo’s corpse nearby, aimed his proboscis at Susanoo’s head, and plunged it down hard.

[Ding! Top-Grade Emperor Realm Qi Blood absorbed! Qi Blood +2,000,000. Estimated digestion time: two hours. Estimated gain upon completion: 200,000 Evolution Points.]

[Ding! Top-Grade Emperor Realm Soul Power absorbed! Soul Power +600,000.]

[Ding! Detected a large amount of Destruction Realm Power. Absorption in progress...]

Before reaching the Emperor Realm, Chu Sheng could only absorb 300,000 Qi Blood at a time.

After advancing to the Emperor Realm, that number increased tenfold to three million Qi Blood!

Moreover, the Evolution Points gained now matched the digestion rate, which meant he could essentially absorb indefinitely!

The frustration of being able to see but not eat was finally gone!

By the time Amaterasu had exhausted his strength to survive the seventh wave of the Celestial Tribulation, Chu Sheng had already finished absorbing Susanoo’s Emperor’s Body.

This string of absorptions from three Emperor’s Bodies caused Chu Sheng’s Qi Blood to soar by over forty-five million.

His Soul Power surged by ten million.

[Qi Blood: 160,000,000 (Emperor Realm Early Stage)]

[Soul Power: 160,000,000 (Emperor Realm Early Stage)]

The Soul Power gifted by Immortal Venerable Shi Xi was still promoting the synchronous growth of his Soul Power and Qi Blood.

He was another step closer to one billion!

’Absorbing an Emperor’s Body feels so good!’

’If I had a hundred or so of these, wouldn’t I reach the Emperor Realm instantly!’

’I just wonder if Blue Star even has that many Emperor Realm experts?’

Publicly, there were fewer than fifty Emperor Realm experts on Blue Star.

There was no telling how many more were hidden in the shadows.

Just then, the system suddenly blared a frantic notification three times in a row, the sound more than twice as shrill as usual!

[URGENT REMINDER! An item of supreme top-grade crystallized Energy has been detected!]

[URGENT REMINDER! An item of supreme top-grade crystallized Energy has been detected!]

[URGENT REMINDER! An item of supreme top-grade crystallized Energy has been detected!]

Chu Sheng froze.

Within the bounds of the Celestial Tribulation, only he and Amaterasu remained.

Since it wasn’t his, it could only be...

Chu Sheng shot his gaze toward Amaterasu.

He saw that at some point, Amaterasu had produced a translucent crystal box.

With his right hand, he caressed the surface of the box, gently and tenderly.

His expression was like that of a man gazing upon his most beloved lover, full of reluctance and adoration.

’Isn’t this guy supposed to be a cold-blooded monster? How can he have such a tender side?’

Chu Sheng was thoroughly confused.

"I’ve lived for tens of thousands of years, and I’ve only managed to refine this single drop... Sigh..."

Amaterasu gazed at the crystal box in his hand and heaved a long sigh, his reluctance plain to see.

Then, he slowly opened the crystal box.

The next moment.

A dazzling, multicolored light erupted from the box, instantly illuminating the entire pitch-black expanse of the Celestial Tribulation!

Chu Sheng focused his gaze.

Inside the box floated a single, teardrop-shaped oval crystal.

The crystal was only the size of a fingernail. It was completely transparent, yet it seemed to contain an entire universe, twinkling with countless specks of light.

Just a single glance made all the Power of Law within Chu Sheng’s body begin to stir wildly!

His breathing grew rapid and ragged!

’System! System! Quick, analyze it! What is that thing?’

[Analysis in progress...]

[Analysis complete.]

[This crystal is named... Divinity.]

’Divinity? What’s that?’ Chu Sheng pressed.

[Please have the Host explore its specific functions independently.]

[Friendly Reminder: Divinity is an extremely precious item, even to a true god.]

’What?!!’

Chu Sheng’s eyes widened.

’An item that’s precious even to gods...’

’I have to get my hands on it!!!’
