A strange howling sound.
The extremely bloody body shook the ground.
Su Zhe's face was pale as he exclaimed, "My goodness! Just how many people did this monster devour?"
After all, the Eerie Monsters they usually encountered looked like demonic beasts, but the Eerie Monsters in front of them was covered in human bones.
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'll go deal with that Eerie Monsters. You all stay inside."
"This Red Mist is extraordinary."
"Su Xian, keep an eye on the barrier, I'll be distracted later."
Su Xian nodded and began flipping through the magic book.
The Red Mist outside meant they couldn't act together. If inhaling even a little bit was as Su Zhe described, poisoning would be no joke. Su Xian needed him by her side to save someone.
At this Ji Mumu spoke up, "I think I can try using Healing Flame; perhaps it can neutralize the poison."
Su Xian stroked her chin, seemingly deep in thought.
You can give it a try...
But that's not necessary now; we need to let Li Chen deal with that Eerie Monsters first.
Li Chen didn't notice their conversation behind him, but instead looked at the Eerie Monsters. "Interesting. It's Eerie Monsters that has devoured a large number of human corpses and has reached the Withered Sea Realm."
"However, this Eerie Monsters doesn't have much of the Forbidden Substance in its body."
Since he arrived at the Withered Sea Realm, he has been able to sense how much Forbidden Substance his body can hold, and he can also sense the amount of the chaotic Forbidden Substance inside the Eerie Monsters's body.
There isn't much left inside this Eerie Monsters right now.
It's likely that the human body doesn't contain Forbidden Substances, but it possesses sufficient energy, so this Eerie Monsters seems to have reached the Withered Sea Realm through infusion.
However, what puzzled Li Chen was that if Forbidden Substances could increase the power of Eerie Monsters, which led to cannibalism, why would the energy within a human body make Eerie Monsters stronger?
Shouldn't they become stronger by absorbing Forbidden Substances?
At that moment, Li Chen suddenly thought of himself.
It seems that he did not improve his realm through Forbidden Substances, but rather through the energy and spiritual power within his body.
Forbidden represents Mutation.
Li Chen understood. Forbidden Substances cause the body to develop in a bizarre direction through continuous Mutation, while also making the body increasingly powerful.
In other words, the physical body becomes stronger, but there are still many Forbidden effects, such as pollution, chaos, etc.
So that's how it is. It seems the reason the Eerie Monsters treat humans as food isn't because they lack food, but because they see humans as cakes.
Perhaps in the eyes of this Eerie Monsters, Li Chen is just a chocolate cake covered in Forbidden Substances and containing countless energies.
The scent drew him there.
However, his target didn't seem to be Li Chen, but rather Su Xian and the others behind him.
Because Li Chen's body exuded a powerful Eerie Monsters aura.
Suddenly, Li Chen's eyes narrowed as he looked into the depths of the Red Mist.
It was that eerie gaze again.
There was another entity watching him from within the Red Mist.
But for now, we need to deal with this Withered Sea Realm Eerie Monsters.
In an instant, Li Chen's figure disappeared, and in a flash, he was in front of the Eerie Monsters head, gently throwing a punch.
With a "bang".
Boom!
The Eerie Monsters's head on its chest looked as if it had suffered a massive impact.
It even compressed more than a dozen types of energy and exploded in the air.
Li Chen stared at the Eerie Monsters body with a large hole blasted into it, his expression unchanged.
With a clenched fist, a still- Distortion black sphere seeped out from the Eerie Monsters body and merged into it.
He is now extremely proficient in Vector Manipulation.
It can keep everything—impact, force, energy, etc.—under control.
If he has a big enough imagination, he can even replicate many different abilities.
It only requires understanding the principles, but those principles don't have much practical use; to put it nicely, they're just fancy and unnecessary.
It's better to cause massive damage directly.
This isn't a video game; there's no need to show it to anyone. You only have one life; if you die, it's really over.
Therefore, simplifying everything is the best approach.
"Oh? It's not dead yet?" Li Chen was somewhat surprised. He had already absorbed the Forbidden Substance inside the Eerie Monsters, but Eerie Monsters was still alive.
The Eerie Monsters, already pierced by arrows, continued to sway, its body gushing blood. Even though its head was gone, it was still alive.
Moreover, the original Forbidden have already been extracted by Li Chen.
Roar~
A low growl came from a bloody maw protruding from his neck.
From the surrounding blood mist, countless Eerie Monsters emerged, almost completely surrounding Li Chen and the others inside the barrier.
Suddenly, a small, Eerie Monsters jumped directly into the Eerie Monsters's mouth.
A chewing sound rang out.
As he swallowed, his head, which had been pierced by Li Chen, began to recover.
Even more Eerie Monsters kept jumping into his mouth.
The aura continued to grow.
Li Chen remained expressionless and said calmly, "Truly worthy of being Eerie Monsters, it recovers itself by eating its own kind."
"However, I'm going to eat you all."
In an instant, black light blades shot out from around his body.
Harvesting the Eerie Monsters lives all around.
Mo has already been summoned.
Wisps of Forbidden Substance emanated from those Eerie Monsters bodies and merged into the ink.
So what if there are many?
As long as the opponent's strength is absolutely overwhelming, Li Chen doesn't care about the number of opponents.
Su Xian and the others below were also somewhat bewildered.
This is the first time we've seen Li Chen use his abilities.
Mu Hen's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "It seems that Li Chen was still at the Looking River Realm before the Academy Tournament started, right?"
"How come it's the Withered Sea Realm now?"
He had been staying with Li Chen the whole time before the Academy Tournament started, so he knew Li Chen's cultivation level.
After all, if Li Chen had reached the Withered Sea Realm, then all the Dark Energy in the Darkness Door should have been poured into the Precept Stele long ago.
Su Xian didn't suspect anything, after all, he was at the Looking River Realm before the Academy Tournament, and now he's at the Withered Sea Realm.
This was not unexpected for Li Chen in the Withered Sea Realm.
Su Zhe was dazzled by the sights, and exclamations of surprise rang out continuously.
"Wow, Chen-ge is the best."
"This ability left me completely stunned."
Ji Shao pursed her red lips, her gaze constantly observing the battle, and said, "Vector Manipulation."
"That's a record-breaking ability, so it's definitely not weak."
"The most important thing is the person. If they're an idiot, even the best abilities are wasted."
The strength that Li Chen has just displayed has indeed surprised everyone.
It's like he's currently grinding monsters without taking any damage.
Still soloing.
Ordinary experts at the Withered Sea Realm can only deal with one Withered Sea Realm Eerie Monsters first, so they won't be distracted by dealing with the smaller monsters around them.
But while dealing with the larger ones, Li Chen was also constantly killing the smaller ones.
It seemed as if blood was raining down from within the Red Mist. Li Chen slightly raised his eyes, holding up the inkstone, and murmured, "It's almost done."
It's time to wrap this up.
Suddenly his figure flickered.
The Eerie Monsters was momentarily stunned, frozen in place.
At this moment, Li Chen was already standing at the very top of his body, his black hair dancing wildly in the bloody wind. Combined with his black clothes and black umbrella, he was even more bizarre than the Eerie Monsters before him.
