NOVEL WEB Chapter 355: Don't come over here! _2
The black storm strikes again;
An unstoppable demonic aura;
An extremely hard to restrain escape skill.
In the brief centuries of the Blade Beast Civilization's development, they have often evolved in response to powerful races. The Blade Beasts on Earth have also undergone varying degrees of physical mutation to counter the attack methods of human mechanical civilization.
But when faced with Wang Jixuan's techniques...
They truly have no idea how to reinforce their souls, nor how to counteract the erosion of demonic aura on the Blade Beast Souls.
The past black storms, even with their 'peculiar' abilities and myriad tricks, had limited stamina at least, a King-level Blade Beast Group could at least wear him out.
But today;
The black storm truly became a black storm;
Endlessly sustained, directly plundering souls, capable of destroying a King-level Blade Beast Nest in ten minutes.
They found themselves helpless for a moment.
The four Pillar Blade Beasts capable of normal action, the Galinos didn't dare to give attack orders;
The 'Cloak Galino' within the Pillar Blade Beasts, their Beast God, sensed the terror of that black aura through the King-level Blade Beasts.
They were also evading.
Evading this utterly unresolvable threat.
Now, the black storm was even directly attacking the nearest Pillar Blade Beast...
[Awaken the Beast God Lord];
[Awaken the Beast God Lord];
[There's not enough time];
[There's not enough time]...
They exchanged rapidly, and in the end had to resort to a clumsy method.
Engaging the black storm in a war of attrition.
The Galinos issued a joint command, and the Blade Beast Group ahead of Wang Jixuan began to devour each other.
Low-level devouring low-level became Middle-level, Middle-level devouring Middle-level birthed high-level...
Soon, along Wang Jixuan's forward path, there appeared batches of Final Stage Basic Blade Beasts capable of space flight with their exoskeletons interwoven with golden patterns.
They launched a frenzied offensive against Wang Jixuan;
This bore fruit.
Wang Jixuan's advancement speed began to slow, as he previously needed just one strike of demonic aura to eliminate a Blade Beast, now it took seven or eight strikes to rinse them away;
With the Blade Beast density decreasing sharply, the spiritual energy and soul power carried back by his demonic aura diminished, and the total mana, which was approaching three hundred percent, began to decline.
The balance point between slaughter and plunder began to tilt.
Just when the Galinos thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, the situation changed.
Realizing the Blade Beasts' change in strategy, Wang Jixuan's mouth curled into a slight cold smile, his figure suddenly spun, moving away from the trajectory he had been charging along.
Originally moving in a straight line, now he started to walk in a 'Z' zigzag trajectory, drawing 'Z' patterns over three hundred kilometers in diameter on the ground.
Though his forward speed decreased, the killing efficiency against Blade Beasts climbed back up.
He continued steadfastly to approach the slumbering seventh pillar.
In desperation, the Galinos had no choice but to initiate the sacrificial ritual near the seventh pillar, a mass of Blade Beasts sacrificed themselves to transform into the spiritual energy supporting the seventh pillar's sleeping circuit.
The awakening level of the seventh pillar began to soar!
Because Wang Jixuan was moving in a [Z] zigzag, reducing his straight-line advance efficiently, the seventh pillar had a degree of awakening.
According to detailed calculations by the human supercomputer cluster, by the time Wang Jixuan reached it, it should have awakened by ninety to ninety-two percent.
Wang Jixuan naturally received this inference.
At this moment, he was not in a hurry at all;
He was waiting for the seventh pillar to awaken.
Last time, not being able to personally take down that Cloak Galino, Master Wang was left deeply regretful.
As for whether his pressure would lead to all the sleeping Pillar Blade Beasts waking and launching an early war for the extermination of humankind...
What does that matter to him?
Exorcising demons was just something done in passing, slaughtering beasts was just something done at will.
So kill!
Kill until the world is turned upside down before discussing anything else!
In the Great Path, no righteousness exists, only the trouble of the common man.
Wang Jixuan's figure swayed, and suddenly executed his favorite Stepping Lotus Sword Song from his past life.
Amidst the swirling black aura, pure white lotuses appeared under Wang Jixuan's feet, his visage pure and transcendent, unlike anything mortal.
Of course;
Master Wang's presence suddenly diminished by three inches.
This Dao Body was inadequate after all, later he would still need to be cautious not to risk his life, and also ensure the demonic aura does not rupture his Dao Body.
As for whether the Dao Realm would be damaged, at this moment he was not concerned at all.
The insights arising in his heart at that moment, how could mere words describe their subtlety, his heart was pure without other concerns, leaving only one or two beautiful figures.
...
"He has actually transformed."
Nierdamon sat at the tip of the wooden boat, arms crossed, a bit of admiration in his eyes.
"Transformed?"
Sabina asked, puzzled:
"Has his power changed? Why can't I sense it?"
"It's not power, but mentality."
Nierdamon explained simply:
"In my eyes, the original Black Storm is actually no match for Fu Jian. Black Storm lacks the heart of a strong one, and tends to be indecisive.
"He never truly belonged to this civilization, yet constantly adorned the responsibilities with beautiful attire, wearing them on himself.
"But now, it's as if he's suddenly awakened.
"His pursuit should be self-transcendence, the life or death of civilization shouldn't be his concern... I probably understand him.
"When he breaks free from his own shackles, the path of true strength will open its doors to him.
"A strong one should have no weaknesses."
Sabina shook her head gently: "I still don't believe he can abandon the people here."
"Unable to leave because of sympathy, not responsibility." This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.
Nierdamon said:
"I didn't focus on him before, but I believe he must have had a process to integrate into current human society.
"But after integrating, he gradually found it difficult to detach.
"So when he faced us, I could feel that he was both strong and weak, yet completely unaware of himself."
"And now?"
"He has the qualification to be my strong adversary," Nierdamon's eyes held a bit of excitement, casually pulling out a beautiful bottle from a nearby whirlpool.
Inside was something like liquor, capable of temporarily numbing a spirit cultivator's core circuit.
Sabina hesitated to speak, turned to look at the hanging Galino beneath the wooden boat.
"How to handle it?"
"Give it to Black Storm as a gift, we are partners now."
Nierdamon exhaled lightly:
"Killing Galino would only make its consciousness move away; it's better to keep sealing and suppressing it."
"Hmm," Sabina nodded, her eyes showing a bit of contemplation.
Meanwhile;
In a canyon far from the battlefield.
A powerful surge of Spiritual Energy erupted forth, enveloping Amina's silhouette.
She awkwardly spun a few times in mid-air, barely stabilizing herself to stand suspended, eyes filled with anger and shock.
Amina was about to rush back but stopped herself thinking it over, controlling the impulsive urge for action.
She roughly understood what happened;
The despicable guardian of the ancient civilization had plotted against Wang Zheng!
Damn it!
Even knowing the opponent harbored ill intent, she still wasn't prepared...
No, that's not right, the Cloud City—the ruins of the ancient civilization hold incomprehensible power, and there, the residual spirit of Gao Huating's past life is invincible.
What does it mean, that the way to save Black Storm is to let Gao Huating merge with Black Storm, allowing Gao Huating to absorb Black Storm's mana and also become a cultivator?
Humph!
She also wants to become a cultivator!
Of course, by the method of Black Storm imparting the cultivation techniques to become a cultivator! Naturally, it's not to have any designs on Black Storm's body.
"I must contact them quickly."
"If there's really no other way, to save Wang Zheng, I might have to let Xiao Huating take the advantage."
"Where's my communicator... Oh no, the subspace is being disrupted, I can't open the stone plate right now."
Amina, with a 'poof', transformed into a smaller form, anxiously flying towards the sky.
—Her information is lagging, completely unaware that Wang Jixuan has already entered a brand new state.
She was about to head to the nearest human fortress when she suddenly saw the anomaly on the horizon.
A giant beast was awakening there, the earth trembling constantly, with cracks revealing dazzling light columns, and Spiritual Energy from the surface and shallow layers frantically converging towards the source of the light columns.
The pillar is awakening!
Gugu, gugugu!
Huh?
Amina suddenly heard the urgent call emitted by the strong source of Spiritual Energy.
The caller was the now awakened Pillar Blade Beast;
It used widespread Spiritual Energy vibrations, and the standard language of their Spirit Cultivation Civilization;
And this shout, translated into the language of the local human civilization, should be...
"Don't come over here!"
