75: Chapter 75 Stirred Up a Hornet's Nest

Su Ming quickly arrived at a small town again.

This small town was even smaller than the previous one, with only about a thousand monsters, and almost all of them lacked extraordinary power.

Obviously, the strong monsters had all rushed to Xiguang City, and the ones left here were abandoned.

However, Su Ming was not picky.

With a flash of his figure, he landed directly in the center of the next town.

The nether power poured out like a tide; wherever it passed, those sleeping monsters opened their turbid eyes one by one, their gazes towards Su Ming shifting from blankness to fanaticism, and finally they all prostrated on the ground, becoming his Retainers.

Su Ming did not waste words and directly ordered them to undergo Fusion in pairs.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Muffled collision sounds rose and fell in the town, and monster after monster twisted, expanded, and reorganized during the Fusion, growing larger and larger in size, and their presence increasingly eerie.

Stage One, Stage Two, Stage Three...

As the Fusion progressed, the monsters' strength rose step by step, and the flesh on their bodies gradually faded its original ugliness under the tempering of the nether power, faintly revealing a demonic dark red luster.

"Quite a big appetite." Su Ming licked his lips; far from shrinking back, he grew even more excited.

The entire Xiguang Dynasty was now a huge monster graveyard, with millions of sleeping monsters; to others it was a dead zone, but to him, it was an inexhaustible source of troops!

For the next half month, Su Ming led his Retainers to sweep all the way through the ruins of the Xiguang Dynasty.

One city, two cities, ten cities...

Wherever he passed, the sleeping monsters were all awakened and controlled by the nether power, and then controlled for Fusion.

"Divine Lord, this batch of monsters is ready." Wawan reported expressionlessly.

"Fuse."

At Su Ming's command, the monsters in the distance roared and crashed into each other, their flesh and bones frantically reorganizing under the wrapping of the nether power, finally condensing into a weird creature with a dark red body and fleshy wings on its back.

Stage Eight!

Feeling the tyrannical aura emanating from that monster, Su Ming nodded with satisfaction.

This was already the second Stage Eight monster he had fused today.

Behind him, a dense army of Stage Eight monsters had already formed an array, each emitting a terrifying aura no weaker than the Extraordinary Stage Eight, and their number shockingly reached—

One thousand!

One thousand Stage Eight monster Retainers!

If this lineup were pulled out, it would be enough to sweep any city, and even facing a half-step demigod, they could swarm forward and wear the opponent to death.

"Still not enough." Su Ming's gaze flickered with the light of ambition, "Since we've come this far, why not… gamble big again."

He looked at the one thousand Stage Eight monsters and took a deep breath.

"Fuse all!"

One thousand Stage Eight monsters roared at the same time, frantically colliding, devouring, and fusing under the traction of the nether power.

Flesh flew everywhere, the sound of bone cracking was deafening, and the entire battlefield turned into a huge flesh-and-blood vortex.

Wawan, Ganie, and others retreated one after another, watching the continuously shrinking mass of flesh with solemn expressions.

This was no longer a simple Fusion, but a leap in the Realm of life!

As the last Stage Eight monster was completely devoured, that mass of flesh suddenly shrank—

The next second, countless blood-red bats burst out from the flesh and blood, blotting out the sky and emitting sharp screeches.

They hovered in the air for a moment, then converged towards one place like tired birds returning to their nests, layer upon layer condensing into a figure.

That was a man dressed in a black swallowtail tuxedo, with a slender and upright figure, skin so pale it was almost transparent, a pair of eyes of deep blood red, and the corners of his lips slightly upturned, revealing two delicate and sharp fangs.

Behind him draped a scarlet cloak, moving without wind, surrounded by a faint blood mist, carrying the elegance and evil charm of an ancient aristocrat in every gesture.

He bowed slightly, saluting Su Ming with a very standard aristocratic etiquette, his voice low and magnetic:

"Cain, greets the Divine Lord."

An information panel instantly popped up in front of Su Ming.

[Name: Cain (Elite)]

[Potential: D]

[Race: Nether Blood Clan (Aggregate)]

[Realm: Extraordinary Stage Nine]

[Skills]

Blood Bat Incarnation: Can transform into countless blood-red bats to scatter and escape or surround and strangle. The bat swarm is immune to physical attacks and fears extreme yang and Holy Light power.

Blood Contract: Using one's own essential blood as a guide, living beings can be transformed into blood slaves. Blood slaves regard him as their master and swear allegiance to death, with a current upper limit of one hundred.

Crimson Feast (Domain Skill): Expands a bloody Domain. All enemy units within the Domain continuously lose vitality, and the lost life will be converted into Cain's recovery and attack power.

Immortality: As long as the heart is not completely destroyed by extreme yang power or Holy Light, one can achieve infinite Rebirth by absorbing blood. During battle, blood can be continuously absorbed; the more blood absorbed, the stronger one becomes, and one can evolve by devouring blood.

Blood River Dirge (Awakening Skill): {Missing unlocking conditions}

[Equipment: None]

[Introduction: A Nether Blood Clan born from monster Fusion, possessing both the undying nature of the undead and the devouring nature of monsters. Beneath its elegant appearance lies the most primitive bloodthirsty instinct, making it the most terrifying hunter in the dark night.]

Su Ming looked at the panel and nodded with satisfaction.

Although Cain was only an elite-level hero, he had the strength of the Extraordinary Stage Nine.

With his strength and identity, even a half-step Paladin might not be his opponent.

Moreover, his survivability and sustained combat capability were incomparably terrifying!

As long as he didn't encounter abilities that happened to restrain him, even a True God would probably find it difficult to kill him.

"Good! Good! Good!" Su Ming said the word good three times, his face full of joy.

"Thank you for the praise, Divine Lord." Cain nodded slightly, a trace of fanaticism flashing in his scarlet eyes.

However, at this moment—

Su Ming's expression suddenly changed.

He clearly sensed that the earth of the entire Xiguang Dynasty was trembling slightly.

Those monsters that had originally fallen into a slumber were waking up one by one at this moment!

They were not awakened by his nether power, but—summoned by a far more powerful will!

"Roar!!!"

"Aow!!!"

Roars of countless monsters came from all directions, filled with frenzy and anger, as if all the monsters in the world had been enraged at this moment.

Su Ming suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiguang City.

There, an incomparably terrifying aura was Awakening, like a sleeping behemoth opening its eyes, and that gaze crossed a distance of thousands of li, precisely locking onto Su Ming.

"Who… stole my good friends?"

A voice that was innocent yet carried a biting chill seemed to ring directly in Su Ming's mind.

"Not good, these monsters really belong to a commander! And this strength is probably at the demigod level; this is not something this Incarnation can provoke right now."

Su Ming's heart tightened.

He had fused so many monsters and finally alarmed him!

"Divine Lord, the situation is bad!" Ganie pressed the hilt of his sword with a solemn expression, "Monsters are gathering here from all directions, the quantity… at least hundreds of thousands!"

Wawan's red silk ribbon also tightened: "East, south, north, they are everywhere! They seem to have gone mad!"

Cain stepped forward, a flash of bloodthirsty light in his scarlet eyes, licking his lips as he said, "Divine Lord, this subordinate is willing to guard the rear for you, just letting me taste what the blood of these monsters tastes like."

Su Ming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the palpitations in his heart.

He knew very well that although his strength was good, he was definitely not a demigod's opponent, and the other party had a monster army numbering in the hundreds of millions in their hands, so fighting head-on with them would definitely be a dead end.

"Retreat!" Su Ming made a decisive decision, "Retreat towards the direction of the Youying Dynasty!"

Then he released thirty thousand Undead Retainers,

"Cain, you take thirty thousand undead to guard the rear, fight while retreating, and do not linger in battle!"

"Ganie, Wawan, protect my flanks!"

"Yes!"

Then Su Ming and Wawan dashed towards the direction of the Youying Dynasty.

Cain transformed into blood bats all over the sky, charging into the pursuing beast tide with five hundred Stage Eight monsters. The crimson Domain expanded, countless monsters rapidly withered within the Domain, and Cain's aura grew stronger and stronger.

"Delicious… truly delicious!" Cain's laughter echoed in the blood mist, elegant and crazy.

But Su Ming did not look back.

He knew this was not a place to stay long.

Behind them, countless monsters surged like a tide, their roars shaking the earth and heaven, and the entire Xiguang Dynasty trembled in this riot.

Su Ming glanced back at the land being swallowed by the monster tide, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.

And countless blood-red bats flew to Su Ming's side, finally converging into Cain.

However, at this time, Cain's naturally pale face was now terrifyingly white.

Obviously, the price he paid for escaping back this time was not small.

"Divine Lord, let's go quickly. I have temporarily led that group of monsters away, but soon they should realize they have been fooled."

Su Ming nodded a few times and withdrew his gaze, increasing his speed by another thirty percent, and plunged with Wawan into the border dense forest of the Youying Dynasty.

Far away in Xiguang City, Carlos looked at the direction of Su Ming's escape, a trace of confusion appearing on his innocent face for the first time.

"Strange… the smell on that person, it smells so good."

He tilted his head, then licked his lips.

"However, whoever stole my good friend must pay with their life."

Countless monsters changed direction under his command, sweeping towards the border of the Youying Dynasty like a tsunami.

"Damn it, have these monsters gone mad?"

A tester looked at the endlessly surging monster tide in the distance, eyes split with anger, and cursed aloud.

The expressions of the other testers were also ugly to the extreme.

At this moment before them was completely a scene like a purgatory on earth.

Countless monster corpses and Retainers' remains piled up layer upon layer as if they were worthless, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, shocking to the heart.

At every moment, tens of thousands of living beings perished on this battlefield.

Rivers of blood were no longer enough to describe the tragedy here.

That was simply an ocean formed by the convergence of blood!

What was even more creepy was that the corpses of those monsters were still wriggling unconsciously, continuously devouring the remains of the Retainers beside them, trying to complete the final evolution.

"Incinerate!"

At the command, dozens of elemental attacks poured down simultaneously. Flames, thunder, and ice intertwined into a curtain of destruction, completely covering that sea of corpses.

Whether it was monster corpses or Retainers' remains, under this round of blanket strikes, they all turned into flying ash.

Without corpses as nourishment, the monsters' devouring and evolution abilities naturally lost their usefulness.

However, this method was not only troublesome, but the consumption of Divine Power was also shockingly huge.

But this was already the only effective means the testers could think of to deal with this group of monsters.

Fortunately, the situation was temporarily under the control of the testers.

Their Alliance now had more than two thousand members, and the army of Retainers reached a terrifying twenty million plus, covering the sky and earth, with no end in sight.

However, everyone knew that this was only temporary.

Suddenly—

The monsters on the battlefield raised their heads in unison, letting out a neat and uniform roar.

Then, a blood-red figure slowly walked out from the depths of the monster army.

The moment they saw that figure clearly, the expressions of all the testers present changed drastically.

"Demigod!!!"

"How is it possible! Didn't the teachers say that the True Gods and demigods of this world were all resolved by the military?!"

Yan Qinghe stared fixedly at that blood-red figure, taking a deep breath, his voice dry:

"It is absolutely impossible for the military to make such a big oversight. The only explanation—this guy is the Son of Luck, after the military left, he broke through to the demigod Realm on his own!"

"Then what the hell is there to fight! With a demigod present, we are nothing more than slightly bigger ants!"

Many testers' eyes were filled with despair.

Their true bodies were demigods, so naturally they knew better than anyone the unsurpassable chasm between demigods and Extraordinary beings.

At this moment, after Carlos sensed the surging fear in the testers' hearts, his eyes were full of intoxication.

"Such delicious fear… smells so good."

He greedily sniffed the aura of fear in the air, his gaze looking at Yan Qinghe and the others in the distance filled with yearning.

Soon, however, his expression became a little lost.

"Unfortunately… none of them are willing to become my good friends."

Thinking of this, Carlos pouted a little sadly.

The next second, he suddenly raised his head and roared at the tester army:

"You are my friends!!!"

Hearing this roar, everyone was stunned for a moment.

That voice… turned out to be a childish voice similar to that of a child!

"Could this monster lord have been born not long ago? Or… is its intelligence not high?"

Once this thought arose, a glimmer of hope rekindled in the hearts of the testers.

They might not be opponents to a demigod with a normal brain, but if it was one with an abnormal brain… that might not be the case!

A tester mustered the courage to step forward and shouted loudly:

"We did not abduct your friend!"

However, hearing this, Carlos became even more angry.

"It was you who abducted my friend! Give him back!!!"

On a mountain peak in the distance, Su Ming, who was secretly watching the battle, subconsciously glanced at Cain beside him upon hearing this sentence.

He instantly understood—the "friend" Carlos was looking for was none other than Cain who had been fused out by himself!

Thinking of this, how could Su Ming dare to continue watching the battle?

"Let's go, return to Mingkong City right now!"

He made a decisive decision and quietly retreated with his Retainers toward the direction of Mingkong City.
