Bi Mo Zhi Jian

Chapter 196 Mentor, Immeasurable!

Above the ruins of the ancient fortress.

In the dead of night, clouds churned and converged into a colossal white vortex that stretched to the horizon. Streaks of dark red lightning flashed above it, emanating terrifying energy and illuminating the pitch-black sky.

Within the vast, broken void at the center, a phantom scene could be dimly glimpsed.

It was extremely blurry.

A torrent of blood and a golden radiance clashed, fading away in an instant.

The great terror that had loomed over people's hearts, the destructive energy gathered above the clouds, was now dissipating little by little.

"The danger... it seems to be fading?"

Xing Jinglei, who had already fled tens of kilometers away, looked up at the gradually diminishing dark red lightning and muttered.

But he still dared not relax in the slightest.

Tonight had been too thrilling. From dealing with cultists and powerful abominations at the start, to breaking the red moon ritual, then the arrival of terrifying powerhouses, and then the revival of an existence akin to gods and demons.

Everything had delivered a tremendous shock. Xing Jinglei's emotions had roller-coastered, and his palms were already slick with sweat.

He was uncertain.

However, Iluoxi and Heidao could both sense that the great crisis hanging over them was rapidly receding. The fire-keepers, who had been suppressed by the immense terror, were now gradually able to rise.

Recalling the golden figure that had appeared earlier, he had some guesses, and some worries.

"Is it Master?"

"It's Master!"

An Jianyou nodded heavily.

Compared to others, she could see more.

She could see the alien world shrouded in grey fog, she could see buildings and forests instantly turning to dust under that terrifying impact, and she could also see that golden figure.

It wasn't quite the same as when Master fought in the past, but it still gave her a sense of familiarity.

Without a doubt, it was Master!

She had been clenching her fists, her eyes unblinking, until now when she finally let out a long sigh of relief, revealing a brilliant smile.

"It's Master! And he won!"

"Master defeated that terrifying entity that descended!"

"Our world is safe!"

"Safe!!"

She emphasized again, a hint of tears glistening in her eyes.

At this moment, the dark red lightning in the sky had also disappeared. The night sky darkened again, but it was a reassuring darkness. The abnormal climate that had enveloped most of Europe was rapidly subsiding.

The danger was indeed receding.

An Jianyou's words also made others relax.

Iluoxi collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. She wasn't tired, but the sheer terror of the flight had left her covered in sweat.

At this point, she no longer cared about her image... though she hadn't had much of one to begin with.

She sprawled casually, looking up at the sky.

The sky was black now, the clouds obscuring the moon, and without lightning to illuminate it, nothing could be seen. But as she gazed at the night sky, the scenes from just now replayed in her mind.

The divine and demonic-like entity that descended.

The golden figure that stood before them.

"Master, so strong!"

Half an hour ago, having believed she had witnessed Master's 'true strength,' she had sworn to surpass Master and crush him beneath her.

And now?

Forget it, just go to sleep.

Master's strength was terrifyingly profound! She couldn't even see his back.

Normally, Iluoxi wouldn't allow herself to not even see a back, for she aimed to stand at the peak of the world and be the queen!

But today, at this very moment, well, it was perfectly normal not to see Master's back, because he was Master!

'I must work hard, at least ascend to the position of the second most powerful person in the world!'

"And the greatest opponent is..."

She stealthily glanced into the distance.

There was her great enemy, An Jianyou.

Work hard! Become stronger!

The goal is to surpass this guy.

Hahahahaha—

...

Xing Jinglei was also panting, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled the recent danger.

The entity that had revived from the statue was too terrifying!

From beginning to end,

That entity had not even attacked them. The mere aura of its revival had made them want to kneel. After its revival and descent, a single glance from it seemed like it would strip their souls away.

No, not 'seemed like'.

At that moment, he truly felt like he was dying. Space froze, and his blood felt like it was about to leave his body.

It was Master's timely appearance that saved them.

And,

Xing Jinglei looked up at the sky.

Although he couldn't see the scene on the other side of the void, from the moment Master forced the divine and demonic-like entity away and entered the void to fight, until the dark red lightning disappeared and the great terror in their hearts receded... the entire process took only a short while.

In just a short while, Master had defeated that terrifying entity?!

Xing Jinglei imagined the battle on the other side of the void.

... He couldn't imagine it. The battle at that level was beyond his imagination, but he was greatly awed.

"Is this Master's true strength?"

"Even a divine and demonic-like entity couldn't last more than a few rounds?"

Two quarters of an hour ago, Xing Jinglei had felt he had seen Master's true strength and set a grand goal to catch up to him.

And now?

Catch up, catch up with what!

Master's strength was too exaggerated, too terrifying. He couldn't even see a silhouette.

Like standing atop the nine heavens, too distant. He might as well honestly pursue his smaller goal – working hard to surpass his old friend Heidao.

As for Master, one day when he possessed great power and could glimpse Master's silhouette, he would then set a grand goal to pursue.

Wait,

Was what Master had just displayed his true strength?

He could defeat even such a divine and demonic-like entity. Such exaggerated power must be Master's true strength.

However, not long ago, when he saw the giant palm print that had erased the ancient fortress, Xing Jinglei had thought the same thing.

His current thoughts seemed... a bit too similar to his previous ones?!

Damn it!

Could it be that Master was still holding back!

Given Master's personality, it was really hard to say. Every time he thought he had grasped Master's full strength, he would turn around and find that it was merely an insignificant wisp from Master's vast ocean of power.

And as he understood one layer of Master's power, another deeper layer would emerge.

Unfathomable!

...

"Phew~!"

"Too strong, too strong! Is this the might of a mythical being!"

"I almost messed up!"

In the shallow alien world, an area of a hundred kilometers in radius had turned into ruins. The number of abominations annihilated by the residual shockwaves was incalculable!

However, the grey fog surged again, and the grey fog that had dispersed under the impact of the red-gold light once again enveloped the sky.

Vague, huge figures reappeared within the grey fog.

Abominations? They replenished so quickly!

Although it might not have been possible to eliminate all the abominations in the surrounding area, the residual shockwaves could easily destroy surrounding buildings and flatten mountain peaks. Those ordinary one, two, and three-star abominations would definitely not be able to withstand it.

It could only be said that the alien world was indeed bizarre.

And,

"The mysterious value gained is also a bit low, only a few thousand units."

Were a few thousand units little? It was almost enough to upgrade from three to four on the spot! But compared to the destructive blow just delivered, it seemed very little.

Clearly, using a character card for possession meant that the power did not originate from himself, so only a very small portion of the mysterious value could be obtained.

Fang You was not disappointed.

Mysterious value was always a bonus. He was already content with defeating this descended mythical avatar and averting the disaster.

One must be content; peace is a blessing.

The entire process was extremely dangerous.

He could already feel the power of the descended character weakening.

This was a side effect of using power beyond the character's limits, greatly shortening the duration of the character card.

And,

"What I killed was merely a mythical avatar."

"An avatar of the terrifying existence, the Blood Emperor."

Merely an avatar possessed such formidable power. What about the main body?

The terror of a mythical being was evident!

Or perhaps, this Blood Emperor was not an 'ordinary' mythical being?

"But this battle also yielded great gains."

In front of him,

At the place where the Blood Emperor's avatar had perished, a blood-colored crystal stone remained, emitting a faint golden halo.

This was a golden legendary treasure.

His spoils of war.

And just spoils of war, he still had more generous mission rewards to be settled.

...

In the shallow alien world,

In an area where the grey fog was sparse, a tall tower built of black stone stood.

Inside the simple tower, a tall figure rested with her eyes closed, as if in a deep sleep.

Suddenly,

She abruptly opened her eyes, cold sweat beading on her forehead, and looked in a certain direction within the alien world. Despite the great distance and the thick grey fog blocking her vision, she could see nothing.

but she sensed a great terror.

A very terrifying entity was about to descend across time and space!

This situation, this situation, it was...

"It's a mythical descent!"

"A terrifying mythical being is about to descend upon Blue Star... but how is that possible!"

Blue Star was just an ordinary world, wasn't it?

Even if Blue Star had unique delicacies and promising newcomers, it was at most a relatively valuable ordinary world.

Such a world was far from worthy of a mythical being's avatar descending!

Evil gods had many minions. Cultists could awaken and improve far more easily than those like her who wanted to remain human, but even so, at the mythical level, they were esteemed existences under the evil gods.

They could rule over a region.

Normally, they wouldn't expend too much effort to deal with an ordinary world – for the world would eventually be swallowed by the alien world, an inevitable outcome.

Not to mention,

At this moment, Blue Star and the alien world were in the early stages of fusion, only in the second phase. The world's barrier was still very strong. For a mythical being to descend with an avatar, it would require considerable cost.

To put it simply, Eluoxi felt it was impossible.

However, the great terror in the distance was escalating. This must be a mythical descent, and the cruel reality lay before her.

"If an avatar of a mythical being descends, Blue Star will instantly turn into a dead land."

"There will be absolutely no power of resistance."

Let alone a mythical avatar, even beings at the Throne, Commander, or Non-human levels could bring great disaster to a world like Blue Star.

Eluoxi's face was filled with sorrow.

There was a sense of shared misfortune, and she didn't want to lose Blue Star as a trade partner. Even though she had been taken advantage of twice, she was very optimistic about Blue Star's potential, and she wanted to procure more of those delicious foods.

But there was no future.

The great terror she sensed grew stronger, her expression becoming extremely solemn as she stood by the window and gazed into the distance.

Suddenly, this suffocating great terror vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed, as if nothing had happened.

Eluoxi blinked, a large question mark appearing on her forehead.
