Two terrifying auras, representing absolute tyranny and extreme coldness, fiercely collided in front of the Lion-Tiger Mountain ruins!
"Roar—!!!"
The Bone Eater Realm's roar exploded like rolling thunder!
Its massive body, covered in grayish-white bone armor, crushed the ground, charging directly at Ling Chen with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
Speed! Strength! Pressure! The terrifying power of Bone Eater Stage Peak was fully displayed!
Ling Chen's figure appeared as tiny as an ant under the Bone Eater Realm's sky-obscuring shadow!
But he stood motionless! His scarlet pupils were like the coldest rubies, locked onto the charging beast! The cold and arrogant curve of his lips remained unchanged!
"Indeed, even after cultivating to Bone Eater Stage Peak, you still haven't gained sentience?"
Just as the Bone Eater Realm's massive claw, covered in bone spikes and capable of smashing an armored vehicle, was about to tear his body apart!
Buzz—!!!
Ling Chen moved! Not backward! Not dodging! But charging forward fiercely, straight towards that destructive giant claw!
His movement was extremely fast! Like a blood-red lightning bolt tearing through the night sky! Leaving a blurred dark-red afterimage in his original spot!
"Blood Scythe Cleave! That's the name I gave it myself, how is it?"
A cold voice, tinged with a hint of playfulness, sounded clearly amidst the roars, like a whisper from the Grim Reaper!
He swung his right arm violently! The nearly two-meter-long massive blood-red war scythe in his hand transformed into a dark-red arc of light tearing through the darkness! With a harsh, whistling sound, it fiercely slashed towards the Bone Eater Realm's incoming giant claw!
No probing! No holding back! It was a killing blow from the start!
Pfft—!!!
A sickening sound of flesh tearing, mixed with the crisp crunch of bones shattering, exploded violently!
The dark-red scythe blade was like a red-hot iron cutting into solidified butter! It tore through the tough skin covered in grayish-white bone armor on the Bone Eater Realm's giant claw! It severed thick tendons!
Dark-golden, lava-like viscous beast blood spewed out like a geyser! Splashing all over Ling Chen's clothes! And staining his cold face red!
"Awoo—!!!"
The Bone Eater Realm let out a distorted, mournful shriek of pain!
Its massive body staggered violently due to the intense pain and immense impact!
The downward-slashing giant claw was forcibly deflected! It smashed heavily onto the ground beside Ling Chen!
"Heh heh, as expected, it's just a stupid bear."
Rumble—!!!
The ground was like it had been hit by heavy artillery! Instantly, a huge crater several meters in diameter exploded open! Soil and gravel shot into the sky!
And Ling Chen, the moment he unleashed that scythe strike! His body, like a weightless ghost, drifted backward using the recoil!
Narrowly avoiding the flying gravel that filled the sky!
First round of engagement! Ling Chen injured its claw! The Bone Eater Realm returned empty-handed!
"Roar—!!!"
The Bone Eater Realm was completely enraged! Its scarlet beast pupils were instantly covered in violent bloodshot veins! The deep, bone-visible wound on its left front claw!
Blood poured down like a waterfall! The intense pain did not make it retreat! Instead, it completely ignited the ferocity deep within its bloodline!
It violently lifted its injured giant claw! Disregarding the tearing wound! It stomped the ground fiercely!
Rumble—!!!
A visible yellowish-brown shockwave spread out like a ripple, centered on its stomping giant foot!
Wherever it passed!
The ground violently undulated and rolled like waves! Hard rocks shattered into pieces like fragile biscuits! Countless sharp stone spikes shot up from underground like ground thorns! Covering an area of tens of meters!
"Oh, so it's not a mutated beast, but a spirit beast?"
Innate Spirit Skill — 【Earth-Shattering Stomp】!
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed! His body flickered rapidly like a willow catkin in the wind! Each time his toes touched the ground, he precisely avoided the deadly stone spikes shooting up from below!
His movements were fluid and graceful, like a Grim Reaper dancing on a knife's edge! The dark-red Blood Scythe in his hand transformed into a protective barrier! Precisely deflecting the flying gravel!
"But it clearly possesses the strength brought by mutation, an awakened ability-mutated beast through some special means or opportunity?"
Ling Chen pondered in mid-air.
The Bone Eater Realm's attack was far from over!
Just as Ling Chen was dodging the ground thorns! The Bone Eater Realm's massive head suddenly lowered!
Its heavily bone-armored lower jaw slammed into the ground like a massive battering ram! At the same time, its giant mouth, like an abyss, suddenly opened wide!
A viscous, dark-red liquid, emitting a pungent sulfurous stench, spewed out from deep within its throat like a high-pressure water gun! With a sizzling sound of corroding air!
Innate Spirit Skill — 【Corrosive Breath】!
Double attack! A killing move!
Ling Chen's scarlet pupils suddenly contracted! He could feel the terrifying corrosive power contained within that dark-red liquid! Enough to instantly melt steel! Let alone flesh and blood!
No escape!
"Blood Pool Meat Forest."
The cold voice sounded again! Without the slightest panic!
Ling Chen's left hand suddenly lifted upwards!
The Bone Eater Realm, which was looking up and exhaling, instantly felt its body stiffen, and that mouthful of venom was instantly stuck in its throat, choking it and making it tremble all over.
【Blood Ripple】
Elemental type, water element (variant), control type.
At the same time, Ling Chen raised his scythe, but did not display it again, instead throwing it into the sky, gripping it with both hands, and shattering it into blood-colored crystals.
Then, with another grip of both hands, the fragments continuously merged and compressed, finally forming three blood diamonds that shot towards the Bone Eater Realm.
The first Blood Diamond precisely struck the gushing dark-red venom!
Boom—!!!
A dull roar! The Blood Diamond exploded instantly! Turning into a huge dark-red energy storm! The violent energy wildly tore and annihilated! Blasting a huge hole in the corrosive breath in that area!
The second Blood Diamond followed closely! Passing through the hole! Like a precision-guided missile, it fiercely shot towards the Bone Eater Realm's lowered massive head! Its target was its scarlet left eye!
The Bone Eater Realm let out a roar of shock and anger! It suddenly tilted its head! Trying to dodge!
But it was too close! Too fast!
Pfft—!!!
The Blood Diamond, like a red-hot steel needle, fiercely embedded itself into the thick bone armor above the Bone Eater Realm's left eye! Although it couldn't penetrate! The violent explosive energy was instantly released!
Boom—!!!
The hard grayish-white bone armor was forcibly blasted open, leaving a deep crater the size of a washbasin! Dark-golden blood mixed with shattered bone fragments gushed out like a fountain! The Bone Eater Realm's massive head was blasted violently backward! Letting out a painful groan!
And the third Blood Diamond was like a ghost! Under the cover of the explosive smoke, it drew a bizarre arc! Bypassing the Bone Eater Realm's massive body, it fiercely shot towards its unguarded lower back! That was the location of its relatively weaker kidneys!
"Hiss~ Is this move a bit too cruel?"
The Bone Eater Realm seemed to have detected the danger behind it! Its massive body suddenly tried to twist!
But it was too late!
Pfft—!!!
The Blood Diamond plunged unimpeded into the flesh and skin of the Bone Eater Realm's lower back, which was covered with relatively thinner bone armor! Then it exploded with a bang!
"Awoo—!!!"
The Bone Eater Realm let out an even more mournful and painful shriek! Its massive body, as if struck by a heavy hammer, stumbled violently forward and fell! A huge bloody hole appeared prominently on its lower back! Dark-golden blood surged out like a bursting dam! Even fragments of its wriggling internal organs could be seen inside!
Triple Blood Diamond! One broke the venomous breath! One injured its head! One pierced its kidney!
Ling Chen attacked defensively! Instantly severely injuring the Bone Eater Realm!
But the vitality of a Bone Eater Stage Peak fierce beast was tenacious beyond imagination!
"Roar—!!!"
The Bone Eater Realm suddenly stabilized its body! Its scarlet beast pupils, due to the intense pain and rage, completely turned into a mad blood-red! It no longer paid attention to its injuries! Its massive body, like a rampaging rhinoceros, charged fiercely at Ling Chen again with an aura of crushing everything!
This time! Faster speed! Stronger power! Greater pressure! It had completely entered a berserk state!
"Too clumsy, a lion can easily tear a gazelle's throat with its claws and teeth, but can it tear a mosquito's throat?"
Ling Chen's eyes were cold! The Blood Diamonds condensed back into the Blood Scythe, and he raised it again! His figure, like a ghost, met the charge!
The two figures collided fiercely again!
The dark-red scythe shadow tore through the air! Bringing forth streaks of blood-light!
The grayish-white bone claws smashed the earth! Kicking up gravel that filled the sky!
Beast blood poured down like heavy rain! Splashing across the ruins!
Mournful roars! Painful groans! The crisp sound of metal striking bone! The roar of energy explosions!
The entire Lion-Tiger Mountain ruins completely became a bloody Asura field!
Edge of the path. Behind a huge, half-collapsed rockery.
Tang Yinmeng huddled in the cold shadow. Her body trembled violently from fear. She desperately covered her mouth! Afraid of making even the slightest sound!
Her amber pupils were fixed on the battlefield ahead, which was like hell!
Every time the Bone Eater Realm's mountain-like giant claw slammed down! Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest!
Every time Ling Chen's dark-red scythe blade tore through bone armor! Her body couldn't help but tremble violently!
The splashing blood! The deafening roars! The violent energy shockwaves! All were like heavy hammers fiercely striking deep into her soul!
Too terrifying! This was not a battle at all! These were two fierce beasts from the primordial era fighting to the death!
She watched Ling Chen's figure, like a small boat in a storm under the Bone Eater Realm's furious attacks, yet always narrowly avoiding fatal blows and leaving ghastly wounds on the Bone Eater Realm's body!
Her eyes were filled with unbelievable shock and an indescribable complexity!
What kind of monster was this man?!
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the cold dissection knife in her hand. The pattern on the blade, which resembled a woman's face, seemed to be faintly warm.
Just then!
Rumble—!!!
An even more terrifying roar suddenly exploded from the center of the battlefield!
The Bone Eater Realm's massive body, like an out-of-control locomotive, slammed violently into a half-collapsed beast cage!
The sturdy alloy bars instantly twisted and flew off like paper! The entire cage collapsed with a crash! Smoke and dust shot into the sky!
And Ling Chen's figure, like a kite with a broken string, was violently thrown out by a huge impact! He smashed heavily onto a pile of ruins less than ten meters from where Tang Yinmeng was hiding!
"Alas, the strength gap is still too great. I've only just recovered to Bone Eater Realm. This beast is about to break through to the Hundred Forms Stage."
Pfft—!!!
Ling Chen violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Clearly, he had been struck by a palm in the head-on clash just now!
"Roar—!!!"
The Bone Eater Realm's massive body struggled to its feet from the collapsed cage ruins!
It was covered in dozens of ghastly wounds of various sizes! Dark-golden blood had almost dyed it into a bloody bear!
The bone armor above its left eye was completely shattered!
Exposing the bloody and mangled frontal bone beneath!
The huge bloody hole in its lower back was still bubbling with blood!
But the mad tyranny and destructive desire in its scarlet beast pupils burned even more intensely!
It stared fixedly at Ling Chen, who was struggling to stand up in the distance!
A low, rumbling roar came from deep within its throat! Its massive body slowly pressed forward again! Each step it took carried the imposing force of an earthquake!
It wanted to completely crush this damned ant!
Ling Chen's expression was solemn. Indeed, he couldn't win without activating Thunder Wings, could he? However, just as he was about to make his move, he caught a glimpse of Tang Yinmeng's expression, a playful curve flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately pretended to be more severely injured, lying on the ground.
Tang Yinmeng's heart instantly leaped to her throat! She looked at Ling Chen's terrible injuries! She looked at the Bone Eater Realm's massive body pressing closer with each step! An indescribable fear and despair instantly overwhelmed her!
Would he die?!
No! No! If he died, she would be next!
She violently tightened her grip on the dissection knife in her hand! The cold hilt now felt as if it carried a strange warmth! The cold system prompt in her mind sounded again!
【Myriad Spirit Summoning System】
【Detected host's strong will to survive】
【Detected highly active carrier: Resentment-Devouring Dissection Knife (Awakened)】
【Carrier status: Minor damage (Energy loss 15%)】
【Available spirit energy: 85 points (Recovering)】
【Suggested action: Inject spirit energy to repair carrier, activate 'Soul Devour' characteristic】
【Warning: Activating Soul Devour requires 50 spirit energy points, may cause spiritual backlash】
【Activate? 【Y/N】】
Activate? Soul Devour? Spiritual backlash?
Tang Yinmeng's pupils contracted violently! She looked at the Bone Eater Realm closing in step by step! She looked at Ling Chen struggling to get up! She looked at the slightly trembling demonic knife in her hand!
An unprecedented determination suddenly erupted from the bottom of her heart!
She gritted her teeth violently! And issued the command in her mind!
【Command confirmed! Spirit energy injected! Soul Devour activated!】
Buzz—!!!
The dissection knife in her hand suddenly burst out with dazzling dark purple light!
The gnarled dark-red patterns on the blade writhed, spread, and intertwined wildly like living things!
Forming an even more complex, even more ghastly, hellish totem-like bizarre pattern!
A colder aura than before erupted from within the blade!
"Uh ah—!!!"
Tang Yinmeng let out a painful groan!
A massive and cold energy, like a bursting dam, fiercely rushed into her body along the hilt! Wildly tearing at her spirit!
She hadn't known she had an ability a few days ago, so naturally, she hadn't cultivated and was at the lowest rank.
A chaotic will filled with endless resentment and bloodlust, like a venomous snake, frantically drilled into her mind! Trying to devour her consciousness!
The spiritual backlash had begun!
She bit her lower lip fiercely! Fresh blood slowly flowed down the corner of her mouth! Her amber pupils were filled with painful struggle! But even more so, a kind of almost insane obsession!
Survive! Must survive!
She suddenly raised her head! Her amber pupils locked onto the terrifying giant beast pressing closer ahead! There was no longer any fear in her eyes! Only a cold determination!
She gripped the frantically trembling dissection knife, which was emitting a mournful hum, with both hands! Using all her strength! She suddenly rushed out from behind the hiding boulder! And fiercely stabbed towards the Bone Eater Realm's unguarded massive hind leg!
"Resentment Devour! Swallow it for me—!!!"
