Chapter 433: Second Order Evil Beast
After escaping the pursuit of the Chaos Beast, the three of them took the time to absorb the power of the soul, feeling themselves becoming a little stronger. It was hard not to be intoxicated by such obvious and perceptible growth.
"This nest is unusual, are you still going?" Xu Qingqiang lit a cigarette for himself. Although he asked this, his eyes were full of eagerness to try.
Wei Huan nodded. They were only one step away from success. Any obstacle would only lead to more severe tribulations. Xu Qingqiang wanted the Karma Fire Godhead, and he and Mu Zhong wanted the soul power. Since they could both become stronger, there was no reason to give up.
Mu Zhong naturally followed Wei Huan's advice and would support anything he decided.
The three of them rested for a while and then went back.
The power of karma fire released by the karma fire godhead was like the most conspicuous signal beacon, leading them straight over.
"How do we kill them?" Mu Zhong asked when they were nearby. "They've already reacted. If we attack again, it'll be like a hornet's nest."
"Why not change direction?"
“Yes, you can, but time is limited.”
"Then kill within the limited time." Wei Huan didn't want to give up. No matter how he calculated it, their chances of winning were greater. Giving up just because of a little crisis would definitely affect his Taoism.
Over the next day or so, they changed direction, headed deeper, and attacked from behind.
As expected, the Chaos Beasts were not prepared and were easily captured by them. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of them fell under Wei Huan's sword.
"It's almost time to go." Mu Zhong prefers to be cautious in everything.
"Kill a few more." Xu Qingqiang was even more aggressive. This was also related to his demonic form. When he got carried away, he would act crazily.
Wei Huan hesitated for a moment, then sensed that more than ten Chaos Beasts were approaching. He immediately decided, "Kill this wave, and then we'll leave."
Although Xu Qingqiang was still unsatisfied, he nodded. He would mostly obey Wei Huan's decisions.
A total of 11 chaotic evil beasts appeared. They had different shapes, some were animal-like, some were bird-like, and some were so strange that they were beyond human cognition. But these were all illusions. They were invisible and intangible, but were the product of the purest evil thoughts in the world.
Therefore, if the power is insufficient, it cannot be killed, but once the power of the soul is reunited, it can be resurrected immediately.
"Be careful, there are a few with very strong auras this time." Wei Huan reminded. The army of undead behind him had already rushed out, separating or surrounding the chaotic beasts first, and controlling them with human wave tactics.
"Hahahaha," Xu Qingqiang laughed strangely, "You came just in time, I was just worried I wouldn't get enough killing!"
After saying this, a strong power of the law of blood surged throughout his body. He danced with his sharp blood claws, quickly shuttled through the army of undead, and raised a blood mist.
Mu Zhong clasped his hands together, the light of the Law of Time gathering in his palms. "I will try my best to limit their movements, you all go all out."
As he finished speaking, the flow of time around him slowed down significantly, and the movements of several chaotic beasts became sluggish.
Xu Qingqiang's killing was smooth, his body moving as fast as lightning, causing a bloody rain to fall on the beasts. He muttered something, and from the thick blood mist, countless skeletal arms suddenly emerged, grabbing the legs of several chaotic beasts.
"Hehehehe!" Xu Qingqiang suddenly laughed crazily, as if he was crazy, and his whole body was extremely insane.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other, joy in their eyes.
After so many years of fighting, Xu Qingqiang's soul grew, and finally he was able to enter the second law.
The Law of Humus, this is a law that sounds similar to the Law of Corruption that Wei Huan mastered, but if we start from the different characteristics of the Law of Death and the Law of Abyss respectively, the effects of these two laws are obviously very different.
The Law of Corruption is plague and curse, while the Law of Humus is reproduction. When used, it can not only accelerate the decay of the target, but also, based on the Law of Blood, transform it into humus that nourishes the abyss.
So, in Xu Qingqiang's territory, hands grew out that looked just like his current arms.
Those hands came from the abyss, and were rapidly reproduced by the law of humus. They either trapped the enemies in the area or attacked. Xu Qingqiang even changed his mind, and these arms began to entangle with each other, turning into an extremely huge arm, and slammed the ground!
“Boom!”
The two chaotic beasts were flattened directly.
Xu Qingqiang waved his arm again.
The Chaos Beast was grabbed tightly in the palm of his hand, twisted and deformed, and screamed miserably.
"Great, great!" Xu Qingqiang was so excited, "I finally have high attack damage, boss!"
Xu Qingqiang waved his arms excitedly. After awakening the law of blood, he was forced to become a blood-recovering warrior, which became his biggest resentment. He wished he was a knife, a god-killing knife, rather than a blunt knife for cutting flesh.
The lack of explosive power is the biggest pain in Xu Qingqiang's heart.
Now that he has mastered the second law, Xu Qingqiang's fighting style has changed instantly, and he no longer has to struggle.
"Boss, look!" Xu Qingqiang was so excited that he wanted to continue showing it.
Wei Huan felt a slight sting in the corner of his eye, and a subtle feeling came over him. He said, "Be careful!"
Before Xu Qingqiang's smile faded, "Puff!" A purple light flashed by like a ghost, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, it instantly pierced through Xu Qingqiang's shoulder, leaving a pool of blood.
Xu Qingqiang groaned and staggered back a few steps due to the huge impact.
"Xu Qingqiang!" Mu Zhong and Wei Huan exclaimed at the same time. The spell in Mu Zhong's hand changed, and the power of the law of time surged out wildly, trying to slow down the speed of the evil beast.
But this evil beast seemed to have a special resistance to the law of time. After only a slight pause, it pounced on Xu Qingqiang again.
Wei Huan waved the sickle in his hand, and the black blade light crisscrossed. At the same time, the undead army surged in, trying to stop the evil beast.
However, the evil beast nimbly weaved between the blades, remaining unscathed. Its figure, like black lightning, appeared and disappeared in the chaotic energy, making it difficult to grasp.
"This evil beast is too fast!" Mu Zhong shouted, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
The three of them worked together in perfect harmony, but facing such a fast opponent, their tactics were difficult to implement effectively.
Xu Qingqiang gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain. The Law of Blood and the Law of Humus that he had just entered were running wildly, forming a thick blood-colored defensive barrier in front of him.
The evil beast crashed into the barrier with a dull sound, but did not stop its attack momentum.
"I'll hold it back, you guys look for an opportunity!" Xu Qingqiang roared.
He pushed with both hands, and the defensive barrier suddenly expanded, trying to trap the evil beast.
Seeing this, Mu Zhong concentrated all his energy and the law of time formed one time vortex after another around the evil beast.
The evil beast rushed into the whirlpool, and its speed was finally significantly affected, and its movements became slow.
Wei Huan seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and the five-layered Corruption Scythe slashed towards the evil beast with the momentum of destroying the world.
The evil beast sensed the danger and struggled desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of the time vortex.
"Freeze!" Mu Zhong shouted, and the power of the law of time strengthened again.
The beast's movements froze instantly, and Wei Huan's long sword slashed down and slashed fiercely at the beast.
"Ah!" The evil beast let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
It struggled a few times and then became silent.
Xu Qingqiang let out a long sigh and slumped to the ground, his face as pale as paper: "Finally solved..."
"wrong!"
Wei Huan stared at the slowly disappearing corpse. Something was wrong. He did not obtain the power of the soul.
Thinking of something, he turned around suddenly and swung the Corrupted Scythe towards the air. A small chaotic beast, only about one meter long and as big as a black cat, was chopped away by him.
"What!?" Xu Qingqiang was surprised. The reason was that Wei Huan had the divine pattern of the word "mountain", and it had been a long time since he had encountered a beast that could not be killed with one blow. Wei Huan would not make some basic mistakes, which meant that this beast was not only fast, but also had a very strong body.
Mu Zhong reacted the fastest, throwing out a series of time vortexes, and the Chaos Beast, which had just been resurrected and was still a little dazed, was trapped in the turbulence of time.
Wei Huan quickly stacked the divine runes. This time he stacked seven divine runes in total. Seeing that the evil beast was about to break free from the vortex of time after waking up, he raised his sword and a black light nailed into the beast's body.
The evil beast fell down.
This time, Wei Huan's tense body didn't relax until he had recovered his soul power.
But it's far from time to relax.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first."
Wei Huan summoned Sister Ya and flew away with the two of them in a blink of an eye.
Mu Zhong left a few time vortexes behind him as a precaution, and then went forward to check Xu Qingqiang's injuries.
"Fortunately, the injury is not too serious." Mu Zhong cast time rewind on the palm of his hand, and the wound on Xu Qingqiang's shoulder healed visibly.
At the same time, Mu Zhong said, "This time it was too dangerous. The speed of this evil beast is beyond imagination."
Xu Qingqiang lit a cigarette for himself and calmed down. "That evil beast has already surpassed the level of a lower-level god... Speaking of which, this evil beast will also have different levels. Will there be a main god level or a dominant level in the end?"
"That's not surprising." Mu Zhong stood up and looked at Wei Huan while explaining to Xu Qingqiang, "Teacher once said that the shallow evil beasts are useless to him, but the deep evil beasts we can't kill and we can't reach, which actually shows that there are different levels among the evil beasts.
Unconsciously, we seem to have gone a little too deep. "After saying this worriedly, Mu Zhong had already reached Wei Huan's side. Looking at the ray of purple light in his hand, he said, "Is this the soul power of that evil beast?"
Wei Huan nodded: "This soul power is somewhat special."
"Did it mutate?" Mu Zhong guessed.
At this time, the Lord of Light floated out and said, "It's not a mutation, nor is it special, it's just that you have gone deep enough and encountered a more powerful Chaos Beast.
Do you still remember what happened when you obtained the Huangquan Godhead?" He asked this question to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan nodded.
At that time, he had just mastered the reduplication divine pattern, and it was difficult for him to kill five evil beasts. Instead, he was surrounded by hundreds of evil beasts. However, in the end, he was lucky enough to escape and obtained the Huangquan divine nature.
The Lord of Light couldn't get Wei Huan to speak, and he felt a little unhappy, so he simply looked at Mu Zhong who was looking at him with a thirst for knowledge.
He beat his chest again and wondered why he hadn't chosen Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong blinked eagerly and began to speak, "Teacher, you are a guiding star on our journey, knowing the many mysteries of this Primal Chaos. I'm sure you can explain in detail the reasons for the grading of these Chaos Beasts, as well as the characteristics of the more powerful ones, so that we can better prepare for the upcoming adventure."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Light's originally pent-up mood instantly relaxed, a hint of pride appearing on his face. He cleared his throat and said, "Hmph, you have good vision. This Chaos Source Rift is like an independent world, and the Chaos Beasts within it are naturally divided into clear levels.
From the weak beasts you encountered at the beginning to the high-speed beasts that can make you suffer now, they are just the tip of the iceberg.
The deeper you go, the stronger the beasts become. Their levels are closely related to the energy distribution of this Chaos Source Gap."
Mu Zhong and Xu Qingqiang were listening attentively. Wei Huan also put away the purple light in his hand and walked over to listen together.
The Lord of Light continued, "In this chaotic source gap, the richer the energy, the stronger the evil beasts.
Just like the Karma Fire Godhead that you are pursuing, there must be a large number of powerful Chaos Beasts gathered around it.
In order to compete for the energy near the divine body, these evil beasts fought with each other, constantly evolving, and their levels became higher and higher.
The one you just encountered was so fast, it must have been honed in shallow waters for a long time to acquire such special abilities."
Xu Qingqiang frowned and asked, "Then, Teacher, what should we do next? The deeper we go, the greater the danger. But the Karma Fire Godhead is deep inside the lair. We can't give up halfway, right?"
The Lord of Light glanced at him and said, "Since you have chosen this path, you naturally cannot give up easily.
The cooperation between the three of you is pretty good, but in the face of more powerful evil beasts, you need to further improve your strength and perfect your tactics.
Especially you, Xu Qingqiang, who has just comprehended the new law, must master it proficiently and unleash its maximum power."
Mu nodded in agreement. "Teacher, you're absolutely right. We will work hard to improve ourselves. How can we more accurately judge the level of the evil beast and prepare for it in advance?"
The Lord of Light smiled mysteriously: "It is up to you to explore and discover it on your own.
However, I can give you a little hint. The aura emitted by the Chaos Beasts and the chaotic energy fluctuations around them can all reflect their strength.
You must learn to observe and be good at summarizing, so that you can survive in this perilous chaos and successfully obtain the Karma Fire Godhead."
After hearing this, the three of them fell into deep thought.
Staying away from the evil beast's pursuit, the three of them sat cross-legged on Dian Ma's back shell to rest. Sister Ya was suspended in the sky, and the Netherworld Flame she released separated the chaotic energy and kept them safe.
Mu Zhong and Xu Qingqiang both had insights, especially Xu Qingqiang, who must review the battle as soon as possible and familiarize himself with the humus law he had just acquired.
Wei Huanze sat down cross-legged and checked the new soul power in his hand.
It was not surprising that the Lord of Light said that this Chaos Beast was just a slightly stronger beast, but in Wei Huan's opinion, the soul power of this beast was very strong, almost reaching the soul power obtained from killing hundreds of beasts in the past.
Isn’t the difference big?
Could it be that the power gap between Chaos Beasts is also measured in hundredfold? If a beast even more powerful than this one appeared, wouldn't it be a hundredfold stronger? Would they be able to kill the beast and escape as easily as they did this time the next time they encountered it?
A hundred times, not ten times, let alone double, this span of strength is a bit too much.
Wei Huan felt a little worried, then he raised his hand and tapped this strand of soul power into his forehead.
As soon as the soul power was absorbed, subtle changes occurred in the Impure Land. A wonderful power seemed to have accumulated and then burst out, like an invisible and colorless wind, blowing through every corner of the Impure Land.
Faint ripples appeared in the Yellow Springs, and the wandering undead stopped in confusion. The flames of death burned fiercely in the eyes of the undead buried deep underground.
Strange changes have occurred in the Dirty Land Continent.
Wei Huan concentrated his attention and observed for a while, and suddenly his eyes fell on the god-level leader.
Brother Anus Digger, Black Dragon, Big Bear and Big Head, as well as the Flying Monkey Leader, the Dog-Headed Man Leader, and the Thought-Sending Beast, their strength, which was stuck at the bottleneck of god-level leaders, has obviously loosened a lot, and it seems that as long as they put in a little more effort, they can enter the super god level.
Another thing that surprised Wei Huan the most was that a breeze surrounded all the undead. This was exactly where Wei Huan felt something was wrong, until he focused his vision on these god-level leaders and felt an even more obvious aura of chaos.
They were powerful and obviously took away more benefits, which also made Wei Huan realize their differences.
A seemingly invisible chaos armor wrapped around their bodies, making their aura stronger, but also somewhat vague.
Wei Huan thought of something and looked up at Sister Ya. As he thought, as the most powerful saint-level leader under Wei Huan, Sister Ya had indeed gained more benefits in this change.
In its inconspicuous Netherworld flame, a force similar to the chaotic energy around it appeared, making it easier for Sister Crow to resist the environment here, and even allowing her to somewhat integrate into the chaotic energy.
Seeing this, Wei Huan made a decision in his heart and stood up.
As soon as he moved, Mu Zhong opened his eyes and looked over, but he just watched silently as he left Dian Ma and flew out, out of Sister Ya's protection.
Mu Zhong didn't ask a single question. He believed that Wei Huan had his own reasons for doing this, so he just watched curiously.
Wei Huan felt the changes more directly with his body.
Sure enough, a layer of chaos armor appeared around his body. The chaos turbulence that originally required the ancient god's body to withstand was much less lethal to him. It was not so much that his defense was increased, but rather that he was integrating into this world and being recognized by chaos.
Wei Huan thought of something and said directly: "Teacher, have you ever seen me in this situation?"
The Lord of Light did not appear, but spoke directly in his mind: "The acquired chaotic body is not uncommon, but with your level as a mid-level god, and the ancient god body, plus the chaotic body, your physical strength alone is very powerful, I'm afraid you have reached the main god level."
Wei Huan's eyes lit up.
But the Lord of Light continued, "But the Lord Gods don't rely on their bodies; the power of the laws is the foundation of their existence."
Wei Huan thought about it and said, suppressing his pride, "Then how does this body compare to the laws of the Lord God level?"
The Lord of Light said, "As long as it's not the Lord God's ultimate weapon, or a master-level method that he cultivates, ordinary attacks can be defended against."
"This is a good thing. At least when we meet the Lord of Flesh and Blood again, we can have more opportunities to interact with him."
"The Lord of Flesh and Blood has failed to defeat you time and time again. I'm afraid he'll strike you like a thunderbolt when he appears again. I suggest you give up on Qiyuan Star and cultivate in this source gap until you're strong enough before appearing again."
"Teacher, are you saying that I will be able to improve greatly if I stay here?"
"Of course, this is just the beginning. I didn't expect that the Ancient God Body and the Chaos Body could be combined. This makes it difficult to estimate your upper limit."
"If I kill more of those higher-level evil beasts, can I become stronger in a short period of time? Does the Chaos Body have a bottleneck or limitation?"
"It seems you only listened to part of what I said. You should stay and practice, or at most call your lower gods over. This place is really a good place for you."
"Teacher, is there an upper limit to Chaos Body? What's the strongest Chaos Body you've ever seen?"
"Am I talking to you about this?" The Lord of Light could hear that Wei Huan was not listening at all. He didn't even listen to a single word of his proposal.
Wei Huan was silent for a few seconds, then said solemnly, "Teacher, making the human race prosperous and strong is my way."
“…” The Lord of Light sighed.
"Teacher, please tell me..."
"Okay, okay, don't be so long-winded, I'm telling you what I'm saying.
The Chaos Beast is a manifestation of the Chaos Body. As you have seen, the Chaos Beast is extremely ferocious and has no wisdom. It relies on instinct for everything. It condenses the evil of the world and is the negative side of all energy. Therefore, there are great hidden dangers for the God of Law to cultivate the Chaos Body.
Once the threshold is exceeded, it gradually becomes manic and may even become a vicious beast." The Lord of Light sighed, "In the depths of this divine realm, in the abyss, there are many fallen law gods, even Darkness is among them."
"Dark?" Wei Huan thought of something. "You mean the Lord of Darkness?"
"Yes, it is the Lord of Darkness. He is trapped in the abyss and cannot escape. He is affected by chaos, and the laws of darkness have also changed. All dark gods have entered the abyss, and the divine realm can no longer be seen."
"What?" Wei Huan didn't expect such an answer. He felt a chill run down his spine. "No dark gods have been seen yet. Does that mean almost all of them are alive, living in the abyss?"
"I know what you mean. Perhaps the Dark God has become a Chaos puppet, but it's also possible that I, the Dark God, have found an opportunity to fight for the throne. Unfortunately, I have fallen and am no longer able to explore the answer."
"Haven't other masters explored this?"
"Of course I have explored it. Before my death, Dark was in the Abyss. However, the Dark Gods hadn't gone mad at that time. I went down there out of curiosity to look for them, but the Dark Gods and my Light Gods are mutually exclusive. I couldn't stay in the Abyss for long, and eventually I had no choice but to leave. As for the other gods..." The Lord of Light thought about it and smiled. "What reason do they have to tell me the truth?"
You have really poor social skills. Even as a researcher, you cannot live without socializing.
Wei Huan thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud, so as not to anger the Lord of Light.
Think about the current Lord of Light. He is a formidable person. He has won over subordinates from other factions and colluded with other Lords. He lets his subordinates fight and rob, and he himself fights for the imperial power without giving up an inch.
So, the former Lord of Light who only knew how to study was just a big otaku. How could he not be defeated when he met an opponent who was daring enough to fight and rob?
But as a teacher, the former Lord of Light was a perfect fit. He was gentle, easily satisfied, and, crucially, knowledgeable. He always had answers to any questions, and occasionally revealed some incredible news, allowing Wei Huan and his companions to gradually gain a firm foothold in the divine realm and gain the confidence to fight against other gods.
