192: Ara-ma

He stepped forward, and the scenery around him shifted;

A moment later, a high tower appeared before him, surrounded by strange ripples, with a circular disc floating at its spire.

Dikin stopped flying, adjusted his clothes, and walked inside with a face full of piety;

“Great Dominator, please guide me...”

...Flying Swords crisscrossed, flickering across the battlefield like ghosts;

Chu Yuan single-handedly bore the vast majority of the pressure.

In fact, after seeing Chu Yuan's strength, the opponents had thought of killing Feng Zhao and the other two first, then gathering all their forces to deal with Chu Yuan;

However, Chu Yuan had also seen through their intentions and naturally wouldn't allow it, striking with ruthless efficiency!

In an instant, he pierced through a Martial Artist of the Nightmare Pupils Organization and completely annihilated him!

Even without using Divine Sense methods, his current strength was enough to crush an ordinary Seventh Realm Martial Artist!

Since finishing the consumption and refinement of the myriad law source liquid, he had successfully broken through the Golden Core Middle Stage Bottleneck, leaping to the Late Stage;

Furthermore, relying on it, he had once again gained insights into the Space Law!

This was why he had displayed a crushing posture against Seventh Realm Martial Artists as soon as he arrived in the Western Continent;

But looking at it now, it was fortunate he had listened to Cai Hongkai and used the myriad law source liquid directly... The Nightmare Pupils Organization was precisely what the Nightmare Insect Clan had fostered in Great Qin, investing many resources into it;

While there might not be any top-tier experts among them, under the accumulation of resources, they did not lack Seventh Realm Martial Artists.

At this moment, the only remaining Nightmare Pupils Martial Artist felt the urge to retreat;

He had originally joined Nightmare Pupils because he had caused some trouble in Great Qin and wanted martial resources.

Running errands and such was naturally no problem, as these foreign races were truly generous... but dying was out of the question!

Thus, he intentionally or unintentionally hung back, not being very active in his attacks;

How could Chu Yuan allow this?

More hateful than an enemy is a traitor... The Flying Sword shone in the sky, pulling along countless storms as it slashed down!

Several anomalies screeched as they dissolved their forms, but those few Nightmare Insect Clan members and the Desolate Demons could only take it head-on.

In that gap, Chu Yuan's figure turned into a golden rainbow, abruptly appearing before that human Martial Artist and pointing a finger down!

A look of intense horror appeared on the man's face as he desperately tried to dodge;

But no matter how his body moved, Chu Yuan's fingertip remained firmly locked onto his forehead, like the flickering scythe of a death god... “Save me!”

He roared;

In the next instant, a figure crashed in from the side, its sharp claws thrusting straight for Chu Yuan's chest... Chu Yuan's eyes flashed as he shifted his target, pointing at the incoming Desolate Demon's claw.

In an instant, the Desolate Demon's arm annihilated inch by inch, dissipating and being swallowed by the space warped at the fingertip... The opponent let out a strange cry, its body launching backward... Desolate Demons are unique beings within the Desolate Demon Secret Realm; or rather, the Desolate Demon Secret Realm was originally named after these beings;

They aren't like a single race; they come in all sorts of forms.

Most have a decayed aura and a hideous appearance; even those that reach the Seventh Realm do not have very high intelligence;

Toward normal living beings, they have an extremely strong desire to attack, almost wanting to kill anything they see... somewhat like anomalies.

Yet they don't actually feed on living beings;

Although they also extract the blood qi of living beings, that is just a means of slaughter, rather than truly wanting to eat them.

This behavioral logic is very strange; after analysis, experts proficient in Soul methods believe that their hunting of living beings... seems to stem from an emotion of 'jealousy'?

Jealousy? Jealousy of those living beings who are weaker than them?

That expert found it unbelievable at the time and continued the research;

Following that, an even more startling discovery was made!

Desolate Demons also have Souls, which are likewise decayed or even shattered!

However, some more powerful Desolate Demons still retain a few memory fragments within their Souls!

Through these memory fragments, that expert discovered that Desolate Demons were not like this at the beginning... In the distant past, they were also a normal race, beings with intelligence and flesh and blood.

But after undergoing some kind of ritual... perhaps the ritual failed, or perhaps the ritual itself was problematic, a terrifying curse.

Only then did they become what they are today, retaining only combat experience and slaughter instincts, while everything else was forgotten... And because of that ritual, Desolate Demons above the Fifth Realm all have a core within their bodies;

It stores most of the Desolate Demon's power and is a fatal weakness like a life-gate;

Even more precious is that it contains Laws... yes, Laws!

In Chu Yuan's view, it was like a low-end version of myriad law source liquid;

It isn't comprehensive, often containing only one or a few types of Law power.

But this doesn't mean it isn't precious; myriad law source liquid was never a martial resource in the ordinary sense and cannot be compared... Chu Yuan didn't know how these few Nightmare Insect Clan members were driving these Desolate Demons;

But utilizing Desolate Demons was not a rare occurrence to begin with.

After forcing back this Desolate Demon, the opportunity for pursuit also vanished;

Several strangely shaped weapons stabbed in together from different directions!

The previously dissipated anomalies also made a comeback, as a pale face appeared at Chu Yuan's toes, giggling as it wrapped around his leg;

Chu Yuan felt a surge of joy; he was just worrying about how to deal with them, and they dared to deliver themselves?

He simply didn't want to release his Divine Sense and bear that disgusting backlash;

Like a normal person who wouldn't eat filth unless absolutely necessary... Of course, when it comes to the absolute necessity, many people still might not be able to stomach it... But this didn't mean he had no way out when the opponent was tightly entangled with him;

ink shadow leaped forth, shuttling over a dozen times in the blink of an eye, forcing back those few Nightmare Insect Clan members;

He then looked at the Anomaly that had already crawled up to his waist like a snake, as a seven-colored light flashed in his eyes... “Slave Seal!”

In an instant, this Anomaly let out an earth-shaking screech;

Strange secret patterns began to manifest on its form... The leader of the Nightmare Insect Clan's expression changed drastically;

Their race were masters of toyed with Souls, and he naturally had some attainments in the Soul Law;

Although he couldn't see through Chu Yuan's methods, those secret patterns clearly displayed the essence of 'enslavement' and 'control'!

“Fool!”

He cursed.

He had given instructions before the operation that this human's Soul methods were powerful and to be extremely careful!

Even he himself wasn't prepared to compete with Chu Yuan in Soul methods, which was why he had proactively set up the Soul-Polluting Array!

This array didn't distinguish between friend and foe, and even he didn't dare to release his Mental Energy;

On the contrary, only the anomalies, which seemed to be Soul bodies, were not much affected, as if they were used to this 'stench'.

He hadn't expected such a large oversight to occur in such a short time... But although he was gnashing his teeth in anger, he couldn't just ignore it;

It wasn't that he cherished his teammates, but if Chu Yuan truly enslaved this Anomaly, it would be even more unfavorable for the battle!

He once again held the jagged weapon in his hand, suddenly pulling out a line of afterimages and slashing viciously at Chu Yuan!

But almost simultaneously, a surge of boiling blood qi also erupted...
