Void Beasts Attack
The Void Light Realm?
What kind of godforsaken place is this?
Just as Hua Qiang was bewildered, ripples suddenly appeared on the ground beneath his feet, and grayish-purple mist climbed up his trouser legs like living things.
He was startled and quickly took two steps back, then jumped a few times before the feeling of being possessed by something disappeared.
With a thought, the Dao Sword appeared in his hand. The gray-purple mist that had been gathering towards him seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and quickly retreated.
Hua Qiang glanced around. The pervasive mist seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, sometimes forming vortexes, sometimes turning into sharp mist blades that grazed past his ears. The air was filled with a sweet and pungent smell of rust and decaying leaves.
Suddenly, his temples throbbed, and the pupil of his right eye contracted strangely to the size of a pinpoint.
A sense of danger beyond the senses surged through my spine like an electric current, and cold sweat instantly soaked my back.
He spun around and swung his sword, but the blade only shattered a wisp of ethereal mist.
The purple mist refracted strange rainbow light under the moonlight, distorting the distant, indistinct mountain peaks into the outlines of menacing beasts, while the winding river at their feet shimmered with a phosphorescent blue.
"This..."
The grayish-purple mist obscured his vision, and Hua Qiang's Spiritual Sense spread out like a fishing net.
In an instant, he froze on the ground.
Deep within the mist, countless translucent giant shadows slowly stretched out their bodies, their skin gleaming with a mother-of-pearl-like luster, and their claws leaving spiderweb-like black cracks as they tore through the void.
The White Tiger University -shaped Void Beast at the head of the group had a rhombus-shaped crystal suspended between its foreheads, and with each breath, ice crystal-like runes condensed in the air.
The existence of these Void Beast seems to defy the laws of physics; their bodies sometimes merge with the mist, and sometimes reveal their physical forms.
Hua Qiang could clearly sense the oppressive aura emanating from them—a mixture of the ferocity of ancient beasts and the cunning of high-level spiritual beings.
Just as he held his breath, the Void Beast suddenly turned their heads in unison, their crystalline eyes bursting with a blinding red light, as if they had finally discovered this uninvited guest.
Memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave, and a passage from a fragment of an ancient book resounded in his consciousness. "The Void Light Realm is Chaos rift. Within it, Void Beast feed on consciousness, and upon encountering living beings..."
Hua Qiang's Adam's apple bobbed, and the veins on his hand gripping the sword hilt bulged.
The Void Beast were already traversing the distorted space, rushing towards him.
The sharp sound of claws tearing through the void came from all directions. In the instant Hua Qiang rolled to the side, his left shoulder was slashed by an invisible force, leaving three bloody marks.
The warm blood droplets hovered in mid-air, strangely condensing into ice crystals, reflecting the Void Beast.
The White Tiger University -shaped Void Beast at the head swung its tail, causing space to suddenly twist into a vortex that engulfed him.
Hua Qiang felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed, so he hurriedly swung his sword and slashed, cutting a huge gap in the vortex, and he stepped out.
He had just stepped out of the vortex when he was knocked away by an armored bull-shaped Void Beast.
His back slammed heavily against the misty "rock wall," and a metallic taste surged in his throat.
Bang... Boom... Puff...
He was constantly being hit, feeling dizzy, with aches and pains in his muscles, and his body was covered with wounds of varying depths.
Beneath the tattered clothes stained with blood, the attacks of the transparent Void Beast left eerie dark purple patterns on the skin.
The excruciating pain caused his pupils to contract, and a nameless ghost fire rose up.
He pulled out a bottle of Life Divine Water and poured it into his mouth.
The moment the amber liquid entered the mouth, a golden halo rose from the wound, the broken meridians healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the dark purple curse patterns were completely dispelled.
"Since you can hide in the void..."
Hua Qiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and began to circulate the [Void Tome] technique.
The next moment, his figure gradually became transparent, eventually merging into the pervasive mist.
He then activated the [Myriad Things Life-Breathing Art], and his Spiritual Power simulated the unique fluctuations of Void Beast — Chaos Aura that existed between nothingness and substance.
The Void Beast suddenly lost their target and immediately stopped moving.
They looked around in confusion, but after searching for a long time without finding any trace of Hua Qiang, the Void Beast returned to their previous wandering state.
The first to notice the anomaly was a Void Beast resembling Giant Python, coiled in the distorted Space Fold, its tongue flicking in and out as it sensed the subtle changes.
However, as it swam over, Hua Qiang had already quietly circled behind it, condensing a Void Blade and silently slashing out.
As the Giant Python's transparent body cracked open and disintegrated into countless light particles, a notification sound rang in Hua Qiang's mind.
[Slayed the Void Beast, Space Shadow Python, gaining 10,000 Slaughter Points.]
The stench of blood spread through the void, but it did not alert the other Void Beast.
They still linger in their respective domains, either tearing apart fragments of space or cultivating by inhaling and exhaling mist.
Hua Qiang, acting as a swimming fish, weaved through the gaps between the beasts. Whenever he locked onto a target, he manipulated the dark matter in the void to condense into a sharp blade.
A phoenix-like Void Beast was preening its tail feathers when it suddenly let out a mournful cry, its brilliant wings being torn to shreds by Void Blade.
As the three wolf-shaped Void Beast chased and played, blood lines appeared on their necks at the same time. As their heads rolled off, their eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion as they disappeared.
As the Void Beast fell one after another, Hua Qiang Qiangxu absorbed a large amount of Void Beast blood and energy, and a faint golden halo emanated from his body.
Blood Qi surged into his body like a tide, circulating through his limbs, bones, and blood, constantly strengthening and enhancing his physical attributes.
His vital energy was also rising steadily, impacting the barrier of his cultivation realm.
However, the Void Beast was not unaware. As the remains of more than a hundred Void Beast flickered and disappeared in the air, the Hu Tiger Void Beast with a diamond-shaped crystal floating between its forehead suddenly roared to the sky.
The sound waves reverberated through the void, and all the Void Beast turned their heads at the same time, their originally casual gazes becoming wary.
Hidden in a spatial interlayer a hundred meters away from the beast horde, Hua Qiang could clearly sense the murderous intent surging within those transparent pupils.
The simulated aura of the [Myriad Things Life-Breathing Art] was still in effect; the Void Beast merely paced restlessly, unable to pinpoint his location.
He seized the opportunity, conjuring a more refined Void Arrow from his fingertips, aiming at the weaker individuals in the horde.
The moment the arrow pierced the void, Hua Qiang felt a thunderous roar in his sea of consciousness. Immortal power erupted like a volcanic eruption, breaking through the shackles. Golden rays of light burst forth from his pores, forming a huge tribulation vortex in the void.
Breakthrough! Immortal Emperor Realm!
Hua Qiang let out a long roar, and his aura surged.
The horde of Void Beast, which had been in a daze, finally went completely berserk. They launched spatial skills to attack recklessly, and the entire sky trembled violently.
At this moment, Hua Qiang was already terrifyingly powerful. With a wave of his hand, he tore open Void Rift and swallowed up all the surging attacks.
He summoned Void Cage with a backhand, trapping dozens of Void Beast inside.
With a clenched fist, the Void Cage instantly diminished, squeezing the Void Beast into a cloud of blood mist, and Hua Qiang gained hundreds of thousands of Slaughter Points.
A bolt of blue lightning, as thick as a water bucket, burst forth from the clouds and charged towards Hua Qiang.
