#357 - The Advent of Mara
Beast!
Beast!
Wang Jixuan directly used the Demon Luo Heavenly Fiend Art, which had already become a forbidden technique, inciting boundless demonic thoughts. The magic power within his body suddenly surged, and layers of black flames burst out from his body.
Wherever his spiritual consciousness passed, there were nothing but Blade Beasts, an almost endless number of Blade Beasts, occupying the underground passages below.
His last moment of clarity allowed Wang Jixuan to directly use a teleportation technique the moment he crashed into the valley, rushing into the place where the King-level Blade Beast in a Blade Beast nest was located at all costs.
That King-level Blade Beast was originally hidden in an underground cavity. The cavity's walls were covered with Blade Beasts evolving from mid-level to high-level, and below were countless, densely packed, glowing stone fragments.
Teleportation technique dispelled!
Wang Jixuan crashed out of the rock wall, directly knocking away several high-level Blade Beasts, and barged into the underground cavity.
His figure hovered in the underground cavity.
Whether it was the King-level Blade Beast or the surrounding mid-to-high-level Blade Beasts, they all showed the same emotion at this moment.
Stunned.
Their mouthparts opened and closed constantly, and each Blade Beast soul was observing this humanoid creature wrapped in rolling black gas.
Ding, ding.
This was the sound of a silver needle hitting the ground.
In the black gas, the corners of that handsome face lifted, revealing a bit of a sneer. His figure suddenly lunged forward, grabbing empty-handed at the still-crouching King-level Blade Beast.
The King-level Blade Beast was stunned.
It had received a warning from the Gari Nos, knowing that humans were about to start another wave of bombing. It had specially drilled from the upper cavity to the lower cavity, and by the way, left a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled Blade Beasts that could not evolve for the human military to farm for achievements. It thought it could comfortably and steadily continue to absorb the energy in the stone fragments here and urge these little guys to evolve quickly… Suddenly, a strange human came.
But who was it?
The hammer of the area's overlord, the human Death Knell; how could it be frightened by a human!
The King-level Blade Beast opened its mouth to roar, and a mental shock began to brew in the center of its mouthparts, but just as it started to brew, the figure rushing forward suddenly accelerated, leaving several afterimages. The clenched fist suddenly gathered layers of light, and the speed increased again.
Bang!
The King-level Blade Beast's open mouthparts didn't have time to close, and a gap appeared in the upper part of the originally oval mouthparts. The hard exoskeleton and flesh and blood kept flying backward, splashing onto the opposite stone wall.
The mental shock that failed to fully accumulate began to erupt;
That black figure ignored it completely, and braving the King-level Blade Beast's mental shock, directly drilled into the Blade Beast's mouthparts.
The King-level Blade Beast's body uncontrollably fell downward, and the spiritual energy light flashing all over its body was rapidly extinguishing. Wang Jixuan's figure had already appeared from the gap in its head, holding a miniature version of the Blade Beast in his hand, and gently crushed it.
The black gas around him condensed into a Flood Dragon, swallowing the soul fragments in one gulp.
The black shadow revealed an intoxicated expression, suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, looking at the area where more than a dozen Sub-King-level Blade Beasts were scattered, and his figure pounced over.
The Blade Beast swarm rioted!
The Blade Beasts frantically pounced towards the black shadow, and the black shadow had two more greatswords in his hands, swinging them left and right, and plunged into it like a whirlwind.
The Flood Dragon raged, the Demon Luo appeared, shining like a god of slaughter!
The god of slaughter eliminates evil!
This whirlwind quickly swept across the core area of this Blade Beast nest.
And the people who saw this scene through the device worn on Wang Jixuan's body did not know how to evaluate it for a while.
An SS-level spiritual energy user should also be able to do this level of slaughter;
But the madness and ease of this slaughter are something that even an SS-level spiritual energy user cannot imitate even if they risk their lives.
……
"So fast," Ji Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying in a hoarse voice.
Several of the stronger members of the Buddhist Hall Squad had recovered. Although it would take a long time to return to their peak state, they could already get up and take a few steps.
Several of them gathered behind Mudan, watching the night vision footage taken in front.
Because it was taken in a low-light environment, coupled with the interference of demonic energy, they could only see a blurry shadow in the main picture most of the time.
The reason why Ji Xiao said it was fast was referring to the speed at which those red dots on the radar map disappeared.
The area of red dots that was originally densely distributed was suddenly cleared at this moment.
It could be seen in the main picture that Wang Jixuan had already turned on the random killing mode, and he would rush wherever there were living things.
The roar of the black Flood Dragon around him became louder and louder;
The black gas was also getting thicker and thicker.
Wu Manyou said with some worry: "Is Mr.'s spiritual energy enough?"
"Enough," Mudan said, "Since the start of the battle, the spiritual energy value in the commander's body has risen from one hundred percent to one hundred and twenty-three percent."
"Rise?"
"Yes," Mudan said, "I can't explain the reason, but it is indeed increasing. There was originally a mass of spiritual energy in the commander's body. Later, the commander broke through a major realm, and that mass of spiritual energy condensed into a point. According to the commander's statement, this point is called the Golden Core. Now, a new Qi Sea is forming outside the commander's Golden Core."
"Ah?" Ji Yale frowned and glared, "Doesn't that mean that Mr. has become a perpetual motion machine?"
"A person's spirit is limited."
Mudan said so.
She had already relaxed at this moment.
Because analyzed from all kinds of data, Wang Jixuan's state was indeed getting better and better, and his brain waves had become stable.
Stable killing desire.
"Now I'm only worried about one thing," Mudan sighed softly, "After the commander clears this Blade Beast nest, I don't know which direction he will turn to. If he turns to the human-occupied area, then things will be very serious."
Ji Xiao, Ji Yale, and Wu Manyou all fell silent.
They completely dared not imagine what the situation would be like if Wang Jixuan, out of control and in this state, killed into the fortress.
Wu Manyou said: "We must do everything possible to prevent this from happening… Otherwise, Mr. will regret it for the rest of his life."
Everyone nodded at the same time.
At the same time that they were speaking, the blue light spot representing Wang Jixuan's position jumped lightly, rushing from the ground towards the southeast direction.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
That was the direction away from the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.
Ji Xiao suddenly reacted: "A King-level Blade Beast group was wiped out just like that? Not a King-level Blade Beast, but a King-level Blade Beast group?"
Everyone fell silent at the same time. Mudan had already begun to dispatch drones to enter the ground to investigate the situation.
In Wang Jixuan's main perspective screen, the black gas condensed slightly, turning into a shallow film wrapped around Wang Jixuan's body.
He was rushing straight through an underground passage where Blade Beasts were gathered. Wherever he passed, the basic Blade Beasts simultaneously lost their vitality, and their souls were directly absorbed by the black gas. That Flood Dragon was like a large vacuum cleaner.
Wang Jixuan's newly cultivated Dragon Python Different Soul began to skyrocket in strength again.
Mudan simply said: "According to estimates, there are still about seventy percent of the Blade Beast individuals in the Blade Beast nest, but they are all larvae or basic low-level Blade Beasts. The commander probably doesn't like this kind of weak soul."
"Yeah," Wu Manyou closed his eyes and sensed, muttering, "The Blade Beasts are in fear. Panic has already spread in the Blade Beast swarm."
Ji Xiao muttered: "Don't attract the Pillar Blade Beast."
"Shut your crow's mouth!" Ji Yale kicked the fat man fiercely.
Mudan didn't say much.
She always felt that even if another Pillar Blade Beast came, it shouldn't be enough to look at Wang Jixuan in this state.
This power to pollute souls and devour souls, the Pillar Blade Beast probably couldn't resist it.
Fifteen minutes later.
The radar map showed that the King-level Blade Beasts guarding the second Blade Beast nest were once again easily killed by Wang Jixuan. Huge spiritual energy overflowed outward, and Wang Jixuan once again turned on the killing mode, hunting the 'powerful souls' in this Blade Beast nest.
Spiritual energy, soul power, what Wang Jixuan wanted was not just these.
He was feeling the panic of these creatures.
The panic from instinct;
All living beings fear death, but the Blade Beasts do not have any culture to support them. Most of their individuals only have instinct and simple thinking.
This pure panic is the Demon Art's favorite delicacy.
This feeling made him incomparably comfortable, like flying freely in the clouds, and a flying immortal gate was about to open.
Flying Immortal! Hahahaha! Flying Immortal!
The poor Daoist will become an immortal today!
Kill!
Wang Jixuan's eyes were bloodshot.
The second nest was quickly cleared, and this time, a large number of Blade Beasts had already begun to flee along the underground passages.
Wang Jixuan chased after these Blade Beasts and easily arrived at the next nest.
Rolling demonic energy had already overflowed from the ground to the surface.
The Blade Beasts had changed from their initial indifference to the current feeling of facing a formidable enemy.
The Gari Nos believed that humans were experimenting with new types of biological weapons. They had not yet determined that this killer was the Black Storm, and some Gari Nos had already rushed to the scene.
The latest and most complete novels are at 69shu.com!
Flying Blade Beast swarms began to appear in the sky, engaging in a fight with human fighter swarms.
However, in this sudden war, humans were not well prepared, and the Blade Beasts, which had suffered three consecutive heavy losses before, were even less prepared.
The Blade Beasts were mobilizing;
They began to sacrifice Blade Beast swarms near the sleeping Pillar Blade Beasts, wanting to use the awakened index of the Pillar Blade Beasts to deter humans.
Another hour passed, and a total of four Blade Beast nests guarded by King-level Blade Beasts were bloodbathed, and the Blade Beast swarms in an entire area were in turmoil.
The Gari No closest to this area had already taken over the command of all the Blade Beast swarms here.
A large number of Pseudo-Spirit Slaves were running underground, rushing towards that black shadow.
And for Wang Jixuan at this moment, it was nothing more than…
New dishes.
The spiritual energy index in his body was already more than two hundred percent of what it was before the war, and the Dragon Python Different Soul was now hundreds of feet long when stretched out.
Unscrupulous plundering and killing were much better than turning into the Gates of Hell to accept wronged souls.
Neither Wang Jixuan nor Fu Jian had anticipated this.
Because of Wang Jixuan's slaughter, they had essentially cleared one-fifth of the area of the D5 Combined War Zone.
Without the support of King-level, Sub-King-level, and General-level Blade Beasts, the remaining basic Blade Beasts, though numerous, could only deplete the human side's basic ammunition.
And Wang Jixuan's killing spree was far from over at this moment.
He charged towards the Gari Nuo organization's defense line, and once he broke through it, he would be able to penetrate into the Blade Beasts' deep occupied territory.
There, a large number of dormant Blade Beasts resided, including Super-King-level Blade Beasts, and even the Beast God adults of the Blade Beasts.
Just as Mudan had said, a person's spirit has its limits;
But demons seemed to have none.
...
At the same time.
Amina had just arrived at the passage she had used the last time she returned from the ancient civilization.
She was about to遁入 (dun ru, escape into) the spiritual energy passage below, following the method taught by the remnant spirit of that ancient civilization, to search for the relics of the ancient civilization, when she suddenly heard continuous calls beside her ear.
Amina was actually a little anxious now;
But after a little thought, she decided to respond to the call. She found a secluded rock crevice underground, drilled back into her slate wall, and returned to the sarcophagus in the spire.
She arrived at the spiritual cultivator exchange place again.
The scenery here had changed. A simple square stone hall stood in the center of the lake, and the lake reflected the blue sky and white clouds. Various strange creatures could be seen everywhere.
These were just simulated illusions.
Amina lightly tapped her toes and teleported directly to the stone hall, sitting down at a square table.
One of the four seats at the square table was clearly reserved for Wang Jixuan.
Sabina and Nierda Tamon sat on his left and right.
Amina said, "I have urgent matters to attend to, so let's keep it brief."
"What is Black Storm doing?"
Sabina had changed from her 'delicate little girl' appearance in front of the Interstellar Gate, and was now calm and arrogant.
Amina simply said, "As you can see, killing Blade Beasts."
"His actions will provoke a counterattack from the Blade Beasts, and we are not yet ready."
"This is not something I can control," Amina gently shook her head, "You should also be able to see that in my relationship with him, I am the passive one, and also the weaker one."
Sabina was about to continue her accusations, but Nierda Tamon raised his hand to signal her to stop.
Sabina immediately fell silent.
Nierda Tamon, the strong man who was always wearing golden armor, frowned and asked:
"Is Black Storm out of control?"
"Yes, probably."
"The power on his body makes me uneasy," Nierda Tamon said, "I don't understand his cultivation methods, but this cultivation path is indeed more creative than our path of inheriting core circuits."
Amina said, "If you are worried that his actions will provoke the Blade Beasts' retaliation and affect your recovery of strength, then I can definitely answer you that you don't need to worry."
"Why?" Sabina retorted.
"Because he is Black Storm."
Amina snorted softly:
"He should now be the Blade Beasts' top priority to eliminate. He is charging towards the area with the densest Blade Beast power, at an alarming speed.
"He will attract all the hatred and attention of the Blade Beasts."
Sabina nodded, lowered her head to think, and said nothing more.
Nierda Tamon instead asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"I cannot ask you for help on his behalf. The arrogance in his bones is something I have only seen once in my life."
Amina said:
"But if you can help him when he needs it, I think he would be more willing to resolve the previous grudges with you."
"I have seen him in his prime, in his unadulterated sea of memories.
"If he returns to his peak, even if all of our civilizations at their peak were added together, we would be suppressed by him head-on. That is the peak of individual power in the current dimension.
"Therefore, this investment in favor will be very meaningful."
Nierda Tamon slowly nodded, also thinking to himself.
"I have to go take care of my business."
Amina's figure quickly faded and she left the exchange space, put away the slate, and rushed towards the ancient civilization along the spiritual energy passage below.
Before entering an sub-spatial barrier, Amina deliberately paused, used her core circuit to sense the battlefield, and then was slightly stunned.
Wang Jixuan was charging towards human territory?
He seemed to have broken through an area, rushing from the D5 Combined War Zone to the border of the D7 Combined War Zone.
This...
Amina believed she understood this guy Wang Zheng.
She couldn't help but feel a bit more anxious, her figure plunged into the barrier like falling from the ninth heaven, quickly activating the 'key' in her body, and found the only door.
She couldn't let Wang Zheng fall into the regret of slaughtering his own kind!
That was Wang Zheng's own fatal weakness!
