Ample Energy

"Found it!"

Li Xin patrolled high in the sky. After a long search, he finally found his target.

"A Vajra Demon Ape, Intermediate Lord Level, with boundless strength and an incredibly tough body."

"There are hundreds of beast generals and hundreds of thousands of beast soldiers around it. This force is dozens of times larger than that Elementary Lord Golden Lion's was!"

After getting a clear picture of the situation around the Vajra Demon Ape, Li Xin charged straight toward it at the center.

"ROAR!!!"

Seeing a human recklessly courting death, the Vajra Demon Ape let out a furious roar that carried for dozens of miles. Countless monsters instantly flew into a rage at the sound and rushed toward it.

As countless monsters went berserk, they instantly formed a beast tide that swept through everything. Every lord-level monster could be called a hidden trigger for a beast tide!

Anywhere in the Wilderness Zone, they could unleash beast tides numbering in the hundreds of thousands or millions at any moment. A tide of that scale could wear a flightless War God Level expert down to death.

"Roaring that loudly won't help!"

Li Xin hurtled toward it like a meteor, his sword in hand. He unleashed five times his strength, reaching a terrifying 350,000 kilograms, already exceeding the standard strength of an ordinary High-level War God!

Enraged, the Vajra Demon Ape lost much of its reason while its strength surged. Its face showed contempt for the human who dared meet it head-on. After pounding its chest, it threw a punch with all its might.

"BANG!!!"

But the moment the Vajra Demon Ape's fist met Li Xin's sword, it felt that terrifying force. This human had cleaved through the bones of its fist with a single strike, and its entire body flew backward like a cannonball.

"WHOOSH!!!"

As the Vajra Demon Ape was knocked back, twenty flying swords turned into twenty streaks of light, ambushing it from every direction.

The Vajra Demon Ape was off balance, and the flying swords kept changing their trajectories unpredictably. It could only shield its vulnerable eyes and ears with its upper arms, utterly unable to stop them.

"SHHK!!"

The flying swords forcefully pierced the Vajra Demon Ape's protective fur and plunged into its muscles, opening twenty horrific wounds across its body in one stroke.

"ROAR!!!"

The Vajra Demon Ape collapsed, unable to rise. Gravely wounded, it snapped out of its enraged state under the intense pain and regained its reason. It immediately roared for its nearby underlings to rescue it.

"Your last desperate struggle!"

Li Xin sent ten flying swords circling around him, forming a sword formation to protect himself.

Any monster that dared approach was mercilessly cut down by those ten flying swords.

In an instant, an overpowering stench of blood rose into the sky. The monsters coming after them constantly trampled the corpses littering the ground, yet the piles of bodies only grew higher.

The Vajra Demon Ape had hoped to escape while Li Xin dealt with its underlings, but it now discovered that ten flying swords were still hurtling toward it at terrifying speed.

Terrified, the Vajra Demon Ape swung its arms and fists, trying to knock the flying swords down. But it was too slow, its reactions too sluggish, and it failed to touch even one.

Instead, the ten flying swords aimed for the wounds already on the Vajra Demon Ape's body and struck again.

In an instant, the ten flying swords pierced straight through the Vajra Demon Ape's powerful body, leaving ten holes from which blood gushed.

With injuries so severe, the Vajra Demon Ape could do nothing but rage helplessly and call its underlings to rescue it.

"Since you're so desperate for your underlings to save you, let them come. I'd like to see whether they can!"

Although Li Xin could not understand the monsters' language, as a psychic, he could roughly guess what the Vajra Demon Ape's furious roars meant.

So Li Xin used his flying swords to sever the Vajra Demon Ape's limbs, preventing it from escaping on its own, but did not kill it outright.

As the Vajra Demon Ape's roars carried farther and farther, hundreds of thousands, even millions, of monsters kept converging on its position.

"That's it! Keep coming!"

"Kill!!!"

Li Xin laughed heartily, controlling twenty flying swords that resembled twenty slaughtering celestial dragons. Wherever they passed, monsters were wiped out. Not a single monster could escape their blades alive.

With the Vajra Demon Ape helping him summon monsters, he did not even need to gather them himself. He only had to stay near it, and the monsters would obediently charge over for him to slaughter.

This method of slaughtering monsters was thousands, even tens of thousands, of times more efficient than searching for monster packs to hunt himself.

Standing on a flying sword in midair, Li Xin reaped the lives of the countless monsters below without restraint, like the god of death.

He had no idea how much time had passed. At first, the beast tide had been so dense that even Li Xin could not kill them fast enough. Then it gradually thinned, until the monsters were now scattered sparsely.

Most of the monsters could not even get past the wall of monster corpses stretching thousands of meters around him.

As far as the eye could see, blood flowed in rivers and corpses covered the ground. The entire landscape had been stained red, and the stench of blood rose into the sky. Yet despite that unmistakable scent, no monster dared approach.

No matter how hysterically the Vajra Demon Ape trapped amid the corpses roared and called, no more monsters dared charge over.

"Since you're no longer useful, you can die!"

Seeing that the mountains of corpses and seas of blood had frightened the monsters away, Li Xin decisively ended the Vajra Demon Ape's life.

"Even with the extra tails, the modified robot still feels too slow at cleaning up the battlefield. Adding a few more robots should fix that."

The nine metal tails extending from the Eternal Divine Furnace robot's back, each over a hundred meters long, worked simultaneously. But with hundreds of thousands of monsters to absorb, progress was still somewhat slow.

After returning this time, he planned to make and install several more Eternal Divine Furnaces. They were energy devices, after all, so he could make as many as he wanted. The only real question was whether there would be enough energy for them to absorb.

"Head southeast and keep hunting lords!"

Once the Eternal Divine Furnace had finished absorbing all the energy from the monster corpses, he had collected the materials from the lord-level Vajra Demon Ape, and his rest was over, Li Xin continued searching for lord-level monsters.

He had figured it out: once he found a lord-level monster, it would summon the monsters within dozens or even hundreds of miles to gather around it. That saved him a great deal of time and made hunting far more efficient.

However, Li Xin had not started hunting immediately at the outset. Instead, he had first toured the area far from Kyoto Base City, only beginning his hunt after thoroughly surveying the surroundings.

Over half a month, Li Xin hunted a total of thirteen lord-level monsters.

Most importantly, every time he finished hunting in one area, he immediately moved to another, never giving the nearby King-level monsters an opening.

He knew perfectly well that he was still far too weak compared with King-level monsters. When it was time to keep a low profile, he never hesitated.

"After killing so many monsters, I've got enough energy. It's time to advance!!"

After killing so many monsters, Li Xin did not continue the slaughter. Instead, he extracted the energy and infused it into his body.
