The battle below the cliff became more and more frantic.

As more and more mutant creatures died under the Eight Desolations Halberd, the bloody smell rose into the sky and blew farther and farther away with the night wind.

Coupled with the blood stream flowing into the small river at the foot of the mountain, the mutated creatures in this mountain range rioted and continued to gather towards where Chen Chu was.

Boom boom boom!!

The heads of the mutant creatures exploded one after another, and the pythons and lizards were cut in half. The black and red light was invincible and destroyed everything in its path.

Tonight, not only were these mutant creatures going crazy, but the brutal, cruel, and destructive killing desire that came from Chen Chu's clone was also completely triggered.

As the clone became stronger and stronger, the desire for destruction in Chen Chu's heart became stronger and stronger with half of his consciousness transformed into a giant beast.

Before, when I learned from Luo Fei to read Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, there was some effect, but it was not great. It was better to release the desire for destruction in my heart through killing.

This is also one of the reasons why he was so brutal and domineering when he arrived at the alien beast battlefield, either entering the mountain or on the way into the mountain.

However, although Chen Chu had fallen into madness at this time, he was not overwhelmed by the desire for destruction. He still maintained a trace of clarity, and his expression was slightly condensed.

His true energy was consumed too quickly.

It has been less than twenty minutes since the battle broke out, and he has already killed hundreds of low-level mutant creatures, and the powerful dragon-elephant true power in his body has been consumed by half with the continuous burst of halberd combat skills.

This can't go on.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu's mind moved, and the true energy flowing outside his body suddenly dimmed and only covered a thin layer of the armor.

At the same time, the halberd edge on the Eight Desolations Halberd suddenly shrank to one centimeter, retaining only the primary coverage of the halberd and the gun blade amplification.

As Chen Chu's aura weakened, the mutant creatures that had already gone bloodthirsty became even more excited and crazy.

Roar, roar, roar!!

The densely packed mutated creatures roared and pounced on Chen Chu, having long forgotten about devouring the corpses and flesh of the hairy apes.

What greeted them was a terrifying halberd wielding at supersonic speed.

Boom boom boom!!

Chen Chu stood on a ten-meter-high rock, waving the Eight Desolations Halberd in his hand, emitting sharp roars of wind and thunder. Every strike would blast away the mutant creatures that rushed towards him.

Even those level four mutant creatures that were more than ten meters long and weighed dozens of tons had their scales shattered and their flesh and blood exploded and swept away by the terrifying spear.

At the same time, inside Chen Chu's body, the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Body Technique was running wildly, absorbing and refining the energy between heaven and earth to quickly replenish the consumed true energy.

As Chen Chu continued to kill, more and more mutant beast corpses piled up under his feet.

At the same time, as he wielded the halberd crazily, Chen Chu's understanding of the Eight Desolate Hell Halberd became deeper and deeper. With his eyes obscured by blood, he could vaguely see the purgatory.

And those hideous mutated creatures that were rushing towards them were the devils from hell.

Eight wastelands, purgatory!

It is not enough to have the tyranny to sweep across the world. One also needs to have the killing power to suppress the evil spirit of the endless purgatory and gather the invincible fighting spirit like a god or a devil.

As his understanding became deeper and deeper, an invisible and terrifying will was gathering on Chen Chu's body as he killed crazily, and a faint red light was lingering around him as he swung the halberd.

That was the materialized bloody evil energy, the unwilling and murderous thoughts emanating from the corpses of those dead mutant creatures, blending with the steaming breath of the gushing blood.

Originally, these invisible evil spirits would dissipate in the air with the strong wind, but at this time they rushed towards Chen Chu like birds flying into the forest, and gathered together to turn into wisps of red mist.

For a moment, Chen Chu's aura became more and more terrifying, like a madly killing demon.

Even though Chen Chu's aura became more and more terrifying, the mutated creatures that were rushing over did not show the slightest fear.

There was only madness and brutality in them, and their eyes became increasingly bloodshot.

Unconsciously, the entire cliff was shrouded in a faint red bloody aura. Once these mutant creatures approached, they would lose their sanity and only have animal nature left.

Even the moon hanging obliquely in the sky began to emit red color, and its size doubled, with double projections appearing on its edges, exuding a faint ominous meaning.

"Under the blood moon, all the beasts are going crazy. Has another year passed?"

Thousands of kilometers away in a military base, a middle-aged man stood on the roof of a building, looked up at the moon in the sky that was emitting a faint red light, and sighed slightly.

This bright red moon appears to come from their world, but it is actually a reflection of the blood moon from another world.

Under the illumination of this blood-red moon, whether it is the Nine Ring Mountains, the vast plains behind, or the Misty Mountains that stretch for thousands of kilometers.

Countless mutated creatures became restless, and fighting would break out at the slightest encounter. It seemed that the whole world had gone crazy.

This kind of agitation lasted for a long time, until the sky reached its darkest time before dawn, when the blood light that almost obscured the moon's light slowly disappeared.

Suddenly, the restlessness that permeated the battlefield of strange beasts slowly faded away.

boom!

The blood-stained halberd swept across at supersonic speed, and with one strike, it blew up half of the body of an eight-meter-long mutant beast that looked like a dragon lizard.

Roar! !

The dozen or so mutant creatures surrounding it growled in fear, and panic appeared in their eyes as they looked at the dark red figure standing above the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Under the might of invincibility and endless killing, the remaining mutant creatures felt their limbs go limp and couldn't help but slowly retreat, then suddenly turned around and ran away.

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen mutant creatures rushed into the woods and disappeared into the darkness.

Gone? Chen Chu looked around blankly.

At this time, his whole body was covered in scarlet blood, and his armor was covered with flesh and blood bubbles of mutant creatures, and some places even had scratches left by claws.

After a night of frantic fighting, Chen Chu's true strength was already exhausted. In the end, he fought almost entirely by relying on his domineering physical strength to wield the heavy spear.

At this time, the entire bottom of the cliff was covered with the broken corpses of mutant beasts. The flowing blood almost formed a small river at the bottom of the hillside, and the blood was surging.

The pile of corpses at Chen Chu's feet was dozens of meters high. The densely packed bones and flesh looked like hell, terrifying and horrifying.

Standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, Chen Chu, who had fought a bloody battle all night, exuded a monstrous murderous aura, like an invincible king.

Looking at the sun slowly emerging in the sky, Chen Chu felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart, and an invisible aura gathered in him.

The dragon elephant transformed from the spiritual will power deep in the sea of ​​consciousness roared, and its consciousness trembled. Faintly, a pure, domineering and invincible intention was about to condense.

but……

Phew! Chen Chu exhaled slowly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "Not enough, still a little short."

Just now, he was almost about to gather an invincible fighting spirit, but unfortunately, in the end, it was due to his lack of martial arts foundation that he fell short and was unable to sublimate.

Finally, that embryonic fighting spirit slowly merged into his body, waiting for the next complete outbreak.

…

When Chen Chu returned to the base, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon on the third day.

Chen Chu, dragging a pile of mutant beasts that were more than 20 meters long and all soaked and dyed red with blood, came to the logistics department warehouse like an industrious ant.

Bang!

As Chen Chu turned off the anti-gravity disk, a pile of mutant beast corpses rolled down onto the warehouse floor.

There was a hairy ape that was over twenty meters long, a unicorn that was over ten meters long, the broken parts of several level four mutant creatures, and many bloody parts of mutant beasts.

Then Chen Chu threw out more than a dozen mutant beast materials of different sizes from the Sumeru bracelet, including single horns, huge sharp teeth, and sharp tail spikes like crystals.

After the crazy battle last night, most of the mutant beast corpses were blown up by Chen Chu, but some materials were still left.

When cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Chu threw away the corpse of the third-level unicorn beast and selected some more valuable materials to bring back.

"Hiss! Classmate Chen, you fought your way back."

Hong Shan looked at the remains of mutant beasts scattered all over the ground, as well as the strong smell of blood still on Chen Chu's body after washing, and couldn't help but take a breath.

Chen Chu nodded: "Fortunately, this time I went deep into the Yunwu Mountains and killed a level 5 peak mutant beast. On the way back, I encountered a riot of mutant creatures at night, so I killed them all."

Hong Shan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "The mutant creatures rioted, and the blood moon last night!"

"Blood Moon." Chen Chu glanced at him with a questioning look in his eyes.

Hong Shan explained: "The blood moon is a unique phenomenon in the southern beast battlefield. It occurs once a year without a fixed time. It is said to be a projection of a blood moon in the mythical world."

"Under the blood moon, all mutant creatures become more agitated and bloodthirsty. Once they smell blood, they will go crazy."

"...No wonder." Chen Chu was speechless. He said that those mutant creatures were not afraid of death last night. Instead, they became more and more crazy the more they were killed.

After all this trouble, he was unlucky.

Chen Chu exhaled and said politely, "Could you please help me calculate how much there is here, Director Hong?"

"It's not a bother, it's my duty."

Hongshan was very polite, and called two staff members to help, and quickly counted the harvest.

The peak level 5 long-haired ape has 155 points. Originally, it was only worth 145 points because its chest was too damaged, but the long hair on its body that interfered with the power of space increased its value by 10 points.

Of course, those long hairs are almost useless without the enhancement of the violent ape's innate ability. They need to be collected and extracted and refined using special methods to be useful.

In addition, the level 4 one only had 50 points because the horn on its head was destroyed, and then there were other miscellaneous materials and broken corpses.

These add up to 87 points, for a total of 292.

This harvest was much more than Chen Chu had expected. His original plan was to kill a level 4 mutant beast on the way back, pile them up and bring them back.

The combined weight of a level four and a level five mutant beast is almost reaching the maximum weight of one hundred tons.

Even if this weight is offset a lot by the anti-gravity disk, it is still not something that an ordinary practitioner can carry, let alone cross mountains and rivers across one or two thousand kilometers.

At this time, with the remaining 33 points in Chen Chu's hand, the total amount reached 325.

At the same time, Chen Chu was somewhat glad that he was at the edge of the Yunwu Mountains last night. If he had gone deeper, the bloody aura rising into the sky might have attracted powerful creatures above level six.

By then, even he wouldn't dare to say that he could stop it.

According to Chen Chu's estimation of himself, his normal combat power should be at the peak of the fifth level. When the runes burst out, his combat power can be comparable to the early sixth level, which is considered to be relatively strong among the early levels.

Yes, around the early stage of the sixth heaven.

Although his normal combat power had reached the late fifth level when he was in the early stage of the fourth level, and when he exploded, it was comparable to the peak of the fifth level, sweeping everything below the sixth level.

Now that the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body has broken through the fifth level and its cultivation has reached the late fourth level, the span of its combat power is not as exaggerated as that of the early fourth level.

The reason is that the later the Zhenwu practice progresses, the greater the span of each level becomes.

To put it simply, the combat power of the first heaven is 1, then the second heaven is 5, the third heaven is 20, and when it comes to the fourth heaven, the true power undergoes a qualitative change and becomes 100.

The fifth level's true energy is several times more condensed and thicker than the fourth level, so it is roughly between 400 and 600.

But the sixth level is a small hurdle. As will and true power merge into one and ignite the true power flame, the true power burst out of the sixth level practitioner will be extremely powerful.

Crush all opponents who are below its own level, and its power suddenly surges to over 1500.

Even though the gap is only a dozen or twenty times compared to the Fourth Heaven, it brings about a qualitative change.

As for the advanced seventh level, after the second qualitative change of true power to control the power of heaven and earth, it will be more powerful than the sixth level, and a part of the power of heaven and earth will be added with every move.

This was also the reason why Lin Xiong was able to kill two Blood God Cult fanatics who were in the early sixth stage and were burning and self-destructing with just a casual palm strike.

Of course, practitioners cannot simply compare with such numbers. Combat effectiveness involves many aspects, and what was just said was just a simple analogy.

Therefore, it is already terrifying that Chen Chu, with his cultivation level of the late fourth level, can leapfrog two major realms to become as powerful as the early sixth level.

It's just that because his body is so strong, in addition to his great strength, his speed and reaction are also terrifyingly fast. Therefore, his burst of power gives people the illusion that he is stronger than a mid-stage sixth-level cultivator.

The instantaneous extreme burst can kill a level 5 peak monster in seconds.

Compared to other sixth-level practitioners, his real advantages are only his strong physical body, the "real" characteristics he gained when he broke through the fourth level, and the broken runes that instantly burned his blood and true energy.

As for the fifth-level advanced skills and the advanced combat skills of minor accomplishment, these are actually standard for practitioners of the fifth and sixth levels.

For practitioners who have cultivated to the fifth or sixth level, every advanced skill starts from the fifth level, their combat skills are slightly successful, and they possess extraordinary armor and weapons.

Some people with amazing talents have even cultivated their skills and combat techniques to the pinnacle just after breaking through the sixth level.

Even because they have been practicing for a longer time, those people's extraordinary armor and extraordinary weapons have been forged a second time, and are far more powerful than Chen Chu's Eight Desolate Battle Halberd.

It can be said that almost every cultivator who can reach the fifth or sixth level is a genius, and those who are not talented would have stopped at the fourth level long ago.

Chen Chu walked out of the logistics warehouse thoughtfully and followed the mountain path to the base square.

Then he glanced at the big screen and noticed that his ranking in the performance list had skyrocketed to 905th place.

As for the reason, it was because of the level 5 peak mutant beast that was killed alone.

The battle record list is not only a challenge, but also accumulates points for killing mutant creatures. The higher the level of cross-border kills, the more points you get.

For example, this time, Chen Chu was recorded as being at the 'early fourth level' and killed a peak level five mutant beast.

With such a terrifying span, the points skyrocketed in an instant, rushing forward more than forty people.

However, this extra bonus points for crossing a great realm will only be given this time, and will become his 'normal' record next time.

And this ranking change will not flash in big red letters, so few people will notice it.

With a strong smell of blood all over his body, Chen Chu took a shower and cleaned his armor as soon as he returned to the dormitory. After finishing all these, he felt refreshed.

Taking the water that he had boiled for bathing, Chen Chu made himself a cup of boiling hot tea. He drank it in one gulp. Instantly, the boiling hot water filled his stomach and he felt warm all over.

Chen Chu let out a long breath, "Huh! I feel like I'm alive again."

The battle last night was so dangerous and brutal that even Chen Chu himself was surprised.

If it weren't for his strong body and terrifying endurance even without true energy, a fifth-level cultivator would have been surrounded and killed because of the exhaustion of true energy.

Even though he had a terrifying physique, after swinging the two-ton Eight Desolations War Halberd with all his strength for an entire night, he still felt sore muscles all over his body.

This is even when his strength attribute has reached 1,200 points due to the growth of his clone during this period, and his basic arm strength is about 30 tons.

Coupled with the stronger physique after the dragon power was strengthened, it was possible to maintain its peak condition all night.

Just when Chen Chu took a short rest and relaxed his mind, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Chu opened the door and saw Li Fei standing outside. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Li is so well-informed. You knew about it just a short while after I came back?"

Li Fei smiled and said modestly: "No, I have been here for two years and I am only slightly more informed. I am not as good as a genius like Chen Xuedi."

As he said this, Li Fei exclaimed: "I didn't expect that my junior brother actually killed that late-stage fifth-level, no, peak-stage fifth-level mutant beast."

Speaking of this, Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Senior, are you sure you don't know that the level of that mutant beast is the peak of level five?"

If his combat power had not surpassed the cultivation level by so much this time, the wrong information might have caused trouble, because there is a big gap between the late stage and the peak.

Therefore, if Li Fei knew that the mutant creature was at the peak of level five, but told him that this 'genius' was only at the late level five, his intentions would be somewhat sinister.

Feeling the chill in Chen Chu's eyes, Li Fei hurriedly explained with a wry smile: "Brother Chen, I can swear that I really didn't know that the mutant creature was at the peak of level five."

"Reputation is the most important thing in our business. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around about my name, Li Fei."

"It's just that we are mainly exploring. Generally, we won't make contact with advanced mutant creatures after discovering them. We will keep a distance of two kilometers to observe them to avoid being discovered."

"Our estimation of the mutant beast's strength is mainly based on its size and the aura it emits. In most cases, it is quite accurate, but sometimes there are some errors."

"After all, when organisms mutate, there will always be some situations beyond common sense."

"Before I approached you, I also estimated your strength. I felt that even if there was a slight error, you could still get away with it as long as you were more cautious."

At this point, Li Fei couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, since you killed that mutant beast, you must have discovered that twisted space secret realm."

"How is it, did you gain anything?"

Chen Chu looked at Li Fei deeply, and finally shook his head slowly: "There is no grass in that twisted space, only stones, and no resources were found."

"Also, when I was searching, I encountered space cracks appearing suddenly several times. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have died in them."

"Haha...you're joking, junior. Those space cracks are indeed troublesome, but as long as you pay attention, you can still avoid them in advance."

"But I didn't expect there were no resources inside. What a pity." Li Fei felt a little regretful.

As for whether he really believed it or not, that was his business. Chen Chu would naturally not tell him what he found inside. After all, the transaction between the two parties was limited to intelligence.

And it’s better for everyone to pretend to be ignorant about some things.

If he honestly told Li Fei that he had gained about 600 to 700 contribution points this time, although he might not say anything, who could guarantee that he would not feel unbalanced in his heart?

At this time, Chen Chu said: "Although I didn't find any resources, my harvest this time was not bad. Let's connect the remaining 30 points of contribution."

Li Fei, who came here just to collect the final payment, immediately smiled and stretched out his wrist: "Thank you, junior brother."

Soon, the two completed the transaction through smart watches.

At this time, Chen Chu suddenly asked: "Senior, do you have any more information about the twisted secret realm?"

Li Fei smiled and said, "It seems that my junior is also interested in these."

"Somewhat interested." Chen Chu nodded.

Compared to hunting mutant beasts and carrying their corpses, finding some rare treasures or special resources not only earns more money, but is also easier.

Li Fei thought for a moment and said, "I do have a special secret realm in my hands, and I am sure there are special resources in it, but it is quite dangerous."

Chen Chu raised his eyebrows: "It's quite dangerous. How dangerous is it?"

"I don't know. There was an invisible infrasound wave at the entrance of that place. As soon as I approached it, I felt a strong sense of danger and discomfort, so I didn't explore further."

"How much is the price this time?"

"80 contribution points."

“So expensive!”

"This time is different, junior brother. I am sure there are special resources in this place. They are more valuable, so the price will naturally be a little higher."

"This is not just a little bit, but dozens of points."

"Hehe!! There's nothing we can do. Our business is quite risky, but the quality of the information can be guaranteed. You should understand this after working with us once."

Chen Chu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay, let's follow the previous rules. I'll pay a part of the deposit first, and then pay the balance when I come back."

Although the information this time is more expensive than last time, the intelligence provided by Li Fei is indeed correct.

If he could make some discoveries this time, not too many, as long as he could gain more than 300 contribution points, it would be enough for him to break through to the sixth level of Dragon Elephant Overlord Body.

"Don't worry, junior brother. This information is definitely accurate. But you still have to be careful when the time comes. If it's not feasible, withdraw. For us cultivators, living is the only way to have a future."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I won't be careless."

As they spoke, the two completed the transfer, and Li Fei also sent the information and coordinates of the new secret realm to Chen Chu.
