"What's going on? She... she's showing signs of a breakthrough too?"
Having lived in the cabin for some time, the residents near the cabin in Shanshui City had become immune to Su Luo's contracted monsters, and even developed some goodwill towards them.
Seeing the eerie aura emanating from her daughter, Qianqian subconsciously looked at the contracted monsters and asked with some concern.
"It must be that the aura emanating from the painted skin was too strong, even infecting her," the knowledgeable Gongxi Facai pondered for a moment before slowly saying.
"What should we do? Will it affect An'an?" An'an is the nickname Qianqian gave her daughter, meaning peace and safety.
"Probably not, in fact, he's even helping her improve." These were the words of Ye Qinglan. Although she was a monster whose contract had been abandoned, Ye Qinglan had no intention of leaving. In fact, she often traveled between the capital and Shanshui City to stabilize the situation on both sides.
After all, it is a strange creature with the skills of [Alienation] and [Mind Loss]. Unless it is a life-or-death struggle, no one or any other creature would be willing to fight it to the death.
The escape of the royal family from the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City is the best example.
"Three stars, four stars, five stars... Tsk tsk, he was able to break through so quickly just by treating the trace of eerie energy that the painted skin had tainted. What a genius!" the gourmet said with some envy. Looking at himself, he seemed to have really become the weakest one.
"She's already at six stars, almost seven stars. Is she about to break through?" Su Meiren, sitting in the small house, said with slight surprise as she drank hot tea and looked at An An.
Once you break through to the Seven Stars level, you will possess a domain!
The Seven Stars are a threshold! Or rather, a threshold for these people and monsters in the apocalypse who have not yet conquered them!
Only places with dense, eerie energy can give birth to domain-level powerhouses from the very beginning. For example, in the Abyss, humans born there can unlock their domains without even reaching the Seven Stars level.
However, this world, which has been invaded by their strange creatures, has not yet been fully occupied. The strange energy is insufficient, and the environment is not yet suitable for starting the awakening domain.
Even some high-star monsters have their domains restricted due to the scarcity of monster energy. Even if they reach the seventh star, it is not an easy task to fully open them in this world.
But now, this rule is being rewritten!
Is it reasonable that there's one lying inside now, and another one being promoted in your arms?
No, that's unreasonable!
Just when everyone thought that An An would break through the peak of the sixth star and enter the realm of the seventh star in one go, An An, who was quietly healing, suddenly coughed a few times and stopped absorbing, barely stopping at the peak of the sixth star!
Even so, releasing it would be enough to shock the entire apocalypse; it is truly the Abyss!
I wonder what happened on the boss's side. The food critic clicked his tongue, drooling with envy.
It's amazing that the Painted Skin character has directly reached the eight-star level, making him a top-tier fighter, someone who can hold his own even in the Abyss.
As the green light gradually shrank until it disappeared, the body of the painted skin, which had exploded, reassembled. It was even more superior than before, and even its original appearance had an androgynous air about it. It was both handsome and delicate, perfectly natural, as if gender had... disappeared from its body.
To put it simply, men would think he's good-looking, and women would think he's handsome; he has a perfect balance of yin and yang and an extraordinary aura.
"Wow, Painted Skin, your appearance is too cheating!"
As one of the original veterans, the gourmet said with some resentment, "The skill of the Skin-Painting Technique already made me stand out among this group of monsters, and now it's even better, completely crushing them."
Even Ye Qinglan, known for her beauty, had to admit that she was inferior to her.
A thousand faces.
No, it should now be called "drawing a heart".
"【Painting Heart】Domain".
The aura of a domain belonging to the Eight Stars slowly bloomed in the Painted Skin's hand. Under the gilded halo, he appeared exceptionally holy. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a deity descended to earth. Who would have thought he was related to a strange creature?
"Eight stars above, a domain?! This, this, this..." Seeing the change in the painted skin, a group of people and ghosts surrounded it. Even in the Abyss, one or two stars are not enough to be considered. They are usually small fry, which is why they were sent to invade. After all, the apocalypse that has not yet been conquered cannot forcibly accommodate the arrival of ghosts above seven stars!
Now, a living, breathing eight-star being has appeared in the apocalypse, only to be bombed once and not in any other danger.
"That's amazing!"
"Is this also one of the president's abilities?"
Congratulations on getting rich! Circling around the painted skin, his eyes reddening, "If it really is the chairman's ability, does that mean we..."
"Congratulations on getting rich" extended a branch from the tree crown, circling and pointing to all the strange creatures around it. Although it was not explicitly stated, the meaning was self-evident.
If even a person can wear a mask, then what about them? Can't they do it too?
Thinking about this, the group of monsters felt even more that they were wise. Sure enough, following Boss Su not only brought them money, but also allowed them to advance in rank. It was definitely worth it to latch onto this powerful figure!
Meanwhile, [the Abyss].
Yang Zijin walked towards the place where they had just parted ways, his steps uneven, blood dripping from his right arm onto the ground.
He chased after the monster hunter and managed to kill him, but he himself was in no better shape.
Having finally escaped the control of that mad enforcer, he should have been happy and wanted to run away, but after looking around and thinking it over in his mind, he realized that he seemed to have nowhere to go.
He is now seriously injured and wanted. If he were to return to the Starfire Society rashly, it would only bring danger to the Starfire Society. Should he go to other ghost cities?
With his physique, he might bleed to death before even reaching other ghost cities, or he might not even need anyone to kill him; the first ghost hunter to find him would receive a bounty of millions for free.
Just then, a figure appeared in his mind.
It's that annoying... enforcer.
It's like a persistent ghost.
But why did I think of her?
His body moved faster than his brain, and was more honest than his brain; before he could even react, he had already started walking back the way he came.
"I hope she... hasn't left yet."
Half an hour later, the extremely weak Yang Zijin returned to the place where she had parted ways with Su Luo, but did not see any of the strange figures.
Heh, that makes sense. He's just a person, a pet. How could he possibly trouble a venerable monster enforcer to wait for him?
Slowly sliding down the tree trunk, Yang Zijing took a few deep breaths. Before he could stop the bleeding, a murderous intent came, and a cold blade gently pressed against his neck.
Was it... that Ghost Hunter from earlier?!
Yang Zijing's eyes widened instantly, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't believe it!
How could this be? He clearly, clearly killed that monster hunter with his own hands and confirmed his death. Why would he meet him again in this place? His figure, aura, and even his domain are exactly the same!
