The ground rumbled and collapsed.
The city wall crumbled like scraps of paper.
The two collided, yet the sky seemed to be torn apart, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
Li Chen gripped the ink, his eyes narrowing, and the surrounding energy seemed to be drawn in, enveloping the Shi Kun.
Click~ Click~
Driven by energy, the Shi Kun's eyes were extremely calm. It swiftly thrust its long halberd into the ground, creating a tremendous impact that propelled it into the air, where it once again slashed downwards.
The battle between the two was simple.
There wasn't much clash of abilities, because they all understood that once someone's strength reached this level, unless they could directly annihilate them, everything could be easily neutralized, so it was better to use force.
Shi Kun asked with a complicated expression, "Li Chen, when you walked out of the Sinful Pass, did you ever think about why humans feared your existence?"
"And why is it that even though so many people wanted you dead, the Special Affairs Bureau protected you? Do you really think you're so tough?"
A ripple seemed to appear in Li Chen's eyes as he said, "Fear, isn't it precisely because of my own abilities?"
"Humans are nothing more than creatures driven by emotions. They fear the uncontrollable, and I am that uncontrollable factor, so naturally they want me dead."
"Heh..." Shi Kun brandished his blood-stained halberd and sneered, "No... emotions are just a vestige of human instinct. They're not afraid of you, but of the unknown. But that's precisely why some see you as hope, as a miracle."
"But that man guessed wrong; he misjudged him."
With a "bang".
Li Chen frowned and sent the Shi Kun flying dozens of meters away.
Hope... a miracle... was he referring to that old man?
The old man I met during the previous Academy Tournament was no ordinary person; he was incredibly cunning and had placed the burden of Human Race's many calamities upon himself.
Moreover, they seem to possess a method to see the future.
Perhaps he already knew he would embark on this path, or perhaps he didn't, because when he tried to change the future, the timeline of this world had already become Distortion, and everything he saw would no longer be necessarily real.
However, he did gamble everything on himself; could it be that he will save the world in the future?
He couldn't fathom abilities like time and prophecy, as such abilities were far too terrifying. Perhaps everything about him had already been observed by many people, or perhaps someone had already begun planning his future from the moment he was born.
It's all uncertain, but it's possible.
A swishing sound rang out.
Countless blood-red blades emerged from the shattered ground, but were blocked by a surge of energy just as they were about to approach Li Chen.
Li Chen murmured, "So be it... In the future, I was already a pawn in the past, and perhaps I still am now, but isn't this precisely the path I'm on to escape this cage and pursue freedom?"
"It's time to end this..."
In an instant -
Everything around us began to glow.
Energy was overflowing wildly, causing countless buildings to shake and rumble.
Even the people who were still fighting below sensed an extremely dangerous signal.
Shi Kun thought to himself, "This is bad. So they really do know how terrifying the Vector ability is?"
"The one person in this world who least deserves this power is you Li Chen!"
His body instantly turned into blood and scattered as he fled.
Even blood would evaporate instantly if you didn't move, because Vector Manipulation had successors who developed it to a terrifying degree.
At that time, it was called a "man-made natural disaster".
When a person's mental power can achieve the ability to control Vector Manipulation, they can guide energy to gather and collide, producing an explosion. However, if it is compressed and collided, it will eventually explode completely.
The power of this explosion was no less than that of a nuclear strike.
Just by sensing the energy fluctuations around him, Shi Kun already guessed what Li Chen was going to do.
I had originally planned to fight him to the death.
But Li Chen wasn't that foolish, because the Special Affairs Bureau couldn't always have just these few people; reinforcements from the Blood Net were still on their way.
He didn't have time.
Let's just let this place vanish into nothingness.
White and black light flashed in the sky, and a beam of light that stretched straight to the heavens illuminated the entire shattered city.
Almost all the Calamity Realm experts felt this aura of destruction and immediately wanted to pull the enemy in front of them away.
But disaster and desire will not make them leave easily.
They launched a relentless attack, giving the enemy no chance to escape.
If even Eerie Monsters could sense danger, then this energy surge sweeping across the entire city must have been initiated by our My Lord.
All they had to do was hold back the humans in front of them.
In the sky, Cang Yue, Time Engraving Gun face flushed, smiled and said, "It seems you really will look ugly when you're old!"
"But it's time to end this now."
The angelic woman opposite her had once had pure white wings that were now a dull, yellowish yellow, and her face resembled that of an old woman. Her body was slightly hunched, and she glared at Cang Yue with utter malice, roaring, "Damn it, witch!"
So what if I grow old?
Killing you would be as easy as turning one's hand!
"Heh..." Cang Yue sneered, and said, "Really?"
"As the body ages rapidly, the energy that should have been stored within you becomes extremely active, but that was for your body when you were young. Now, your body can't withstand that intense energy..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the angel woman's expression changed drastically. Her withered yellow wings began to burn, and her hands and feet cracked at the same time. Countless flames were burning her body and soul.
This is the power of time...
Everyone needs an adaptation process, but when a person suddenly gets old, it will cause enormous harm to the body.
At that moment, her screams filled the air.
Cang Yue also put away the Time Engraving Gun, her gaze fixed intently on the direction of the beam of light, and her figure quickly began to move away into the distance.
Meanwhile, Zero faced off against Pan Dong.
The battle between the two, one human and one monster, was so fierce that it shook the heavens and the earth. Pan Dong, who was supposed to be blocking the wall, had also lost his temper at this moment, and his steel-boned body crashed into Zero's tentacles like a meteorite.
Pan Dong spat. "Disgusting!"
"I never imagined that Eerie Monsters would actually develop intelligence. It seems that the adults' conjectures were correct; the Child of Destiny is the key for you Eerie Monsters to unlock your wisdom!"
Pan Dong wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite clever. Although he looked like a muscular man, he was very perceptive and had noticed Zero's strange behavior long ago.
How could a human possess such an Eerie Monsters power?
But Zero did it.
At first, he was unsure, but the moment Zero reacted emotionally to his attack, Pan Dong knew that it was not human, but rather a half-human, half-monster disguised as Eerie Monsters.
He needed to report this discovery quickly.
The emergence of intelligence in Eerie Monsters is major news.
