On the second day of the "Long Night," time crawled by slowly and thickly amid oppressive slaughter and endless howls.
Mo Lin's true body remained seated cross-legged on the flat rock just inside the canyon entrance, pouring himself drink after drink as he calmly watched the dark battlefield in the distance.
His two Immortal Grade avatars moved through the boundless monster horde like two tireless, highly precise killing machines. Fists and palms flashed in succession, every strike containing terrifying physical power capable of shattering mountains and splitting boulders, enough to easily kill ordinary Earthly Sovereigns. Yet their killing efficiency was inevitably declining.
It was not because the avatars had grown weaker, but because the enemies... had become stronger.
At first, these polluted Moon Spirit monsters had merely been astonishingly numerous, with individual strength ranging at most from the Body Tempering Realm to the three Creation Realms, relying on sheer numbers to overwhelm their foes. But after mimicking Mo Lin's initial spell attacks and "learning" the avatars' efficient close-combat techniques, their rate of evolution had become frighteningly fast.
By around the Shen hour—between three and five in the afternoon—on the second day, Mo Lin clearly sensed through the avatars' battle feedback that the monsters charging at the front and bearing the brunt of their attacks had generally increased in physical strength, speed, and power to a level comparable to Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection!
Moreover, the gray-black, miniature energy attacks they imitated and unleashed had steadily reached the level of Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection as well!
Even more troublesome was the rapid improvement of their combat intelligence. They no longer charged blindly in a disorganized swarm. Instead, they began attacking in waves and formations, using their numerical advantage to restrain, encircle, and even carry out simple tactical coordination!
