146: Dark aura!

"I have a particularly bad feeling!"

Ye Su thought to himself.

In the letter from the future, there were never any tyrannical statements about slaughtering all races like the Yao Race, Insect Race, Sea Race, or Spirit Race.

According to Ye Su's personality.

If these races were the Human Race's greatest enemies, then his corresponding response would be incredibly extreme.

Kill—start killing from the weakest level.

On a national, and even global scale, wipe out all life other than humans.

Insects, animals, plants... and so on—except for necessary food.

Eradicate everything else.

Species extinction isn't terrifying; what's terrifying is that the Human Race is about to go extinct.

In this environment where the Human Race is facing extinction, all measures are considered conservative!

But.

The letter from the future didn't mention this—this mutation is coming fiercely. Could it be that this is really only playing out on this tiny planet called Blue Star?

The Black Smoke erupting from Mount Fuji gave Ye Su an idea.

Damn it, could our enemies be creatures we've never seen before!

"Captain Ye, the treasure chest is still there; it's floating!"

Mo Xiaoyu said.

The Divine Weapon treasure chest cannot be moved.

Before it is fully opened or someone starts the Countdown, its position is fixed.

It's like a product of another dimension.

It's for this reason that there's a struggle for Divine Weapons.

Otherwise, someone would have hidden the treasure chest long ago and then quietly waited out the Countdown themselves.

To snatch it.

Or not to snatch it!

Ye Su was considering it.

This treasure chest was too close to the crater.

Ye Su's abilities were naturally not a problem.

But the crater was too eerie now; it was an unknown danger.

"Provide backup; I'll go try."

Ye Su said.

In the end, he decided to give it a try.

After saying this, Ye Su stopped retreating and began to charge upward again.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

But—the higher they went, the stronger that unease became. Upon reaching the crater, this unease reached its peak.

Walking on air.

Ye Su endured the discomfort and approached the treasure chest right by the crater.

At this moment.

A large number of Professionals and King-level Lifeforms from other races were in the vicinity.

They all stopped and watched Ye Su from a distance.

They also felt that unease.

However, their unease was so intense that they understood they would be killed the moment they approached the crater.

Ye Su frowned and began the Countdown.

Yes.

Under the gaze of countless people, Ye Su directly began the Countdown.

During the Countdown, he looked down.

It was the churning magma of the crater, with plumes of black qi constantly emerging along with the magma bubbles.

This black qi made one shudder.

Having achieved Soul Manifestation, Ye Su was very familiar with this shuddering sensation.

It was targeted at the Soul!

Or rather, this black qi might also be a form of energy, except it wasn't cultivated from the physical body, but rather through the Soul.

The problem was—a Soul Cultivation Technique!

There weren't any in the entire world; he hadn't even heard of one!

"It directly affects the Divine Soul; no wonder they don't dare to step forward," Ye Su thought to himself.

"I can't speak for other things, but I'm the only one in the whole world who can do Soul Manifestation, which is why I'm more sensitive to this black qi and have a slight bit of resistance."

"Others haven't encountered this power. The unknown is fear, so they don't dare to come up at all!"

Yes.

Everyone watched Ye Su's Countdown.

But no one dared to step forward.

Some hothead was dissatisfied and tried to charge.

But as he got closer to the crater, his whole head became groggy, and finally, his head slumped as he died silently.

Without Soul Manifestation, your resistance to this black qi is negative!

Soon.

The 30-second Countdown was complete.

The Divine Weapon merged into Ye Su's body, but was quickly rejected, turning into a physical longsword.

A person can only equip one Divine Weapon.

It was normal for the swallowing heaven blade to kick it out.

Holding the Divine Weapon, Ye Su charged directly into the sky.

Mo Xiaoyu followed from a distance.

This process was the most thrilling and exciting.

Others didn't dare to take the Divine Weapon from the crater, but they dared to take it from Ye Su!

At least.

The King-level Lifeforms dared.

So after Ye Su took to the air, these King-level Lifeforms chased after him, except for that giant snake, which stood still, staring blankly at the crater for some reason.

Only some King-level Lifeforms from the Insect Race truly charged at Ye Su.

The Sea Race stopped halfway, as if guided by someone.

True enough.

With Ye Su's current combat power.

Why chase him?

To deliver yourselves on a silver platter!

Ye Su looked at these King-level Lifeforms of the Insect Race; while calling for the plane, his eyes lit up.

Good grief, they're coming here to die!

Then—then those King-level Lifeforms didn't dare to attack.

It was obvious.

The giant snake didn't come, and the Sea Race stopped halfway.

As for me...

Do I really want to go?

They were questioning their life choices!

In the end, they watched helplessly as the plane picked up Ye Su and Mo Xiaoyu.

Anticlimactic.

This struggle was simply anticlimactic.

The real Protagonist was stolen by the Black Smoke.

This black qi drew the attention of countless people and made them ponder.

Since the global mutation began, there has been no precedent for power; everyone has explored it on their own.

And now this Black Smoke had extremely special attributes.

Perhaps Divine Weapons aren't the only path to combat power; using this Black Smoke for Cultivation might also lead to a path—an even more powerful one.

The pursuit of combat power is always full of temptation.

Living beings are creatures that make trade-offs.

Cultivating as a Professional is tiring and difficult.

If there were a power with a naturally higher status, many people would find ways to switch sides!

On the plane.

Ye Su handed the longsword to Mo Xiaoyu and fell into thought himself.

The appearance of the Black Smoke was indeed unexpected.

This power targeted at Soul attributes was startling.

Ye Su couldn't imagine.

If someone could master Soul-attribute power at this stage, just how strong would they be?

Instant kills, instant kills, instant kills for everyone!

In a world where everyone's Soul has not manifested and only consciousness remains.

A tiny Soul attack would be an inescapable, irresistible attack from the Grim Reaper.

No matter who it is, no matter how strong your physical body.

It would be shattered instantly.

Without consciousness and Soul, there is no difference from death.

The only difference is that it's a bit more tragic.

"Captain Ye, what's wrong?"

Mo Xiaoyu noticed something was off with Ye Su and quickly asked.

"It's nothing, just thinking about what that Black Smoke really is."

Ye Su responded.

Finally.

He could only sigh with emotion.

As the global mutation continues to unfold, this world centered on Professions will become more and more complete.

After all, the Soul should also be a part of Cultivation!
