262. Ancient beliefs
If Hao wants to conquer the Dark Continent, he will inevitably come into conflict with all the transcendent beings.
He's going to be at the top!
It's his ambition and desire.
The Demon King felt it from his soul, and it was confirmed from his past experiences in the human world.
"Are you afraid of me?"
As he spoke, the terrifying soul black mist spread like a tsunami, centering on him and spreading between heaven and earth.
The leader who was close at hand suffered a heavy blow from the pressure of his soul almost instantly, his eyes lost his light, and he fell to the ground.
The endless black mist spread like a virus, and wherever it passed, those soul creatures that had been transformed roared as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
And, as the black mist swept across the vast land, countless absorbed spirits appeared one by one, as if they had become a huge army.
Among them, there are the spirits he absorbed from the human world, led by Meluam, Nitro, etc., as well as many lifeforms that have died in his hands over the years, all kinds of strangely shaped creatures, flying in the sky, running on the ground... Looking down from the sky, the entire surface of the earth has been occupied by soul life, and there is no end in sight.
It's like a sea of the dead.
And the hazy is clustered in the very center.
"Our choice to accept you and let you build your own home on this land is already the bottom line."
Above, the will did not fluctuate.
"Really?"
The hazy body changed, and the raging soul fire burned the flesh and blood, revealing the appearance of a hammerstone.
He holds the chain of Rig's lamp in one hand, and the axe blade at the end of the lantern in the other.
"Now that I know I can evolve indefinitely... You won't keep me in the Dark Continent, you can't give me enough time... So, you're trying to confuse me, right? Drag on... Wait for the real masters behind me to come and put me on trial? ”
Hao gently shook the chain and said lightly.
"Human... Sure enough, it's a boring low-level creature. ”
With the churning of the will to negotiate, thunder and lightning in the sky roared, and there was a loud rumbling.
One after another red and black thunder light landed on the earth, like an entity, and did not disappear in a flash.
Immediately after, a huge snake head was faintly revealed in the sky, and a pair of eyes comparable to the size of the sun and the moon, exuding murderous intent.
On top of the most vast and thick thunder, a figure gradually walked down.
It was a lifeform that resembled a subhuman demonic beast.
At first glance, it looks like a human, but the difference is that the lower half of the body is human legs and feet, but there is no neck or head above the chest, but instead it breeds eight snake bodies, and the eight snake heads are human faces, and each hand holds a weapon, a short sword and a spear.
"It seems that you can evolve to this point, and you can't do without human genes... You can be enlightened because of human beings. ”
There is still a great distance between Hao and the other party's body, one in the sky and the other on the ground, but both sides can clearly lock on each other.
"The only value of human beings is to provide the nutrients needed for evolution... But now, they're useless. ”
The snake man said coldly, and kept spitting out snake hyacinth from his mouth.
"Don't say so much, eat me, or... Eaten by me. ”
A bloodthirsty smile rose.
He's waited so long, and finally... See one of the true rulers of this land.
"The fish that slipped through the net in the gap between time and space... You don't belong here, and you don't see what you're capable of... We have been living on this continent for a long time, and the sequence of evolution is far beyond your reach. Your desires, undisguised, have foreshadowed your end. ”
When the words fell, Hao's side had already taken the lead.
Countless spirits shot up, like locusts crossing the border, and flew towards the snake man standing on the thunder light.
Boom!
Almost at the same time, a raging sea of thunder churned, intertwined between heaven and earth, and wiped out all souls.
However, the qi that these spirits turned into souls did not completely dissipate, and quickly recondensed, and the offensive continued unabated.
Rules are imposed, gamified.
The snake man staring at the sea of dazzling eyes was mixed with the power of rules in the diffuse energy, trying to change this space, so that the battlefield changed from various forms of energy.
His spiritual vision can see through the weaknesses of the snake man's body, perform hits and critical hits, etc., and at the same time, there is an attack distance beyond common sense... The rules that best fit these elements are still games.
Rule Judgment, Failure!
However, Hazy did not succeed, and the enemy also had the power of rules at his disposal, and could compete with him.
In order for the power of the rule to take effect, there must be prerequisites, and the prerequisites need to be completed by the other party for the rules to be effective, otherwise... It's just a simple energy.
To put it bluntly, if you want to apply the power of rules to actual combat, both sides need to disguise and make traps one by one in advance, waiting for the other party to jump in and participate in it.
Then all kinds of restraints are applied.
"Strong rules can't be expanded, then... You can only pursue small rule changes in the details. ”
For example, shouting the other person's name... Or, let it lose its mind for half a minute, etc., but this small prerequisite has a limited amount of rule power that can be cast.
In the process of fighting with the other party, it is also a contest of brain power and observation.
You must not be tricked.
Once you are restricted by the rules, you will invisibly fall into disadvantage and have a lot of trouble.
Hazy raised the chain, and the device immediately pierced through the space, spilling directly over the snake man's head, circle after circle, entangled the target.
He's always evolving, and his abilities are always improving, not just with Hammerstone's skills, but also with Senna and Ike's.
This kind of move that breaks through space is developed from the evolution of the attack range.
Click.
In the next second, several snake heads of the snake man bit on the chains, and it seemed to be able to touch the instruments in the soul state, and the sharp fangs not only broke the chains, but also melted the long locks with venom.
The furious thunder was still rushing in all directions, and the dense ghosts couldn't get close to the snake people at all.
The snake man's eight snake heads suddenly grew larger, spewing thick venom into the sky, and the poison began to dense the battlefield with the strong wind, and it rained heavily in a short moment, and all of this rain was transformed by its venom.
The head of the snake spits out the snake letter regularly, and the sound of silver bells resounded throughout the earth.
All living beings that hear the sound, including plants and trees, wither and die in an instant.
The army of hazy souls is also gradually collapsing, and the energy he urges is even difficult to control for a while under the interference of this sound wave.
"Thunder and lightning, two extraordinary elemental powers, Venom is its own talent... Sure enough, those who can evolve into masters are not general. As he spoke, he gently shook the lantern in his hand, swinging from side to side, like an hour hand... Gradually, the flow of time throughout the battlefield slowed down.
Eventually, it stagnates, freezes.
Even the snake man maintains stiff movements and expressions...
Harnessing time is not a rule, but his ability.
It is also since Ike's skill development took shape.
Suddenly disappeared in place, appearing in front of the snake man in the center of thunder and lightning.
His eyes were cold, and the blade of the axe in his hand slashed down at his head.
Bang!
But what is surprising is that the snake man who was originally frozen in time, Huo Ran raised his short sword to block this fatal blow, the eyes on the eight snake heads turned, and the limbs seemed to be slowly regaining their mobility.
Any ability is transformed from energy and is located downstream of the power of rules.
The presence of energy means that there is antagonism, not absolute effect.
Whether it is a hazy or a snake man, when it comes to their evolutionary state, in fact, it is an essential competition, and it is no longer a formality.
See whose life energy is stronger.
The killing move was blocked, and Hao suddenly opened his mouth, and a raging soul fire flew down on the snake man, burning violently.
"Ahh
The snake man howled in pain.
Hazy was also bitten on the shoulder by a snake's head.
The snake man's body squirmed violently and expanded, rising in the wind, and began to grow larger.
In due course, it became a behemoth standing between heaven and earth, with eight heads and one tail, abandoning the appearance of human beings... This ability is something that many monsters and creatures can do.
Hao's posture is also rising, and the hammer stone body is assembled by mental power, if the men Qi and a few people are still there, I am afraid they will not believe it, because even Nitro's Baishi Guanyin, at this time, in front of Hao and the snake people, are as short as ants.
The next moment, the earth trembled.
Two giant bodies like gods began the most primitive fight.
For a time, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, and the wind was blowing.
The sky is full of ghosts, thunder and lightning are rolling.
……
I don't know how long it took, the noisy and dilapidated, apocalyptic space finally calmed down.
The hammerstone that stood in the sky, stepping on the corpse of the snake that fell on the ground, let out a terrifying soul roar.
The snake man's endless soul power, like a river pouring down, poured into Hao's body.
The first!
This will be the prelude to his hunt for all the Juggernauts of the Dark Continent!
Hammerstone's figure passed away, revealing a hazy body, half of his body corroded by venom... The injuries were not minor.
Fortunately, there is a majestic vitality stored in the body, which can be recovered little by little, but I am afraid it will take a long time.
Looking up at the sky, he was ready to fly up and jump over the door to see what the 'ecology' belonging to the snake people's territory was like.
But before he could move, he seemed to sense something.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed.
Look behind you.
Sou!
A 'thing' bursting with terrifying energy fluctuations rushed in at an alarming speed.
Fall into the vast and devastated battlefield.
The one who came was the size of a human, but he was shrouded in a mist of souls.
Hao narrowed his eyes, and the anger that had just finished slaughtering the snake man had not subsided, and the powerful soul coercion immediately hit the surface of the creature's body, causing the soul mist around it to be dispelled in an instant, revealing its original appearance.
The head has two horns, a mouthful of fangs, dark skin, and slender limbs... There are also several ring-shaped metalwork hanging from the ears.
Beelzebub!
Hazy's heart moved.
At the beginning, in the memory of the skeleton's soul fragment, he couldn't even peep into the true face of the demon king, but now... It's easy to see its body!
I don't know how many demon kings exist in the Dark Continent, but this one in front of him is the guy he saw before and passed on his news to the other rulers!
This kind of soul fluctuation, he is too familiar with.
The other party didn't come now, but he was there all the time, but he was hiding farther away.
"Hey, hey, hey... Human, you were able to kill Cambysius. ”
The Demon King's voice was harsh, and his tone had a sense of treachery and treachery, which was similar to the feeling he once hazy.
It seems that in the memory of the soul, in order to bewitch him, the demon king deliberately changed his behavior and aura, making him more in line with the 'demon king' in human cognition.
Now, that's what it really is.
Cambysius, the name of the snake man.
There is a name, which means that in the Dark Continent, the civilization and origin of human beings or intelligent beings are far from being as simple as guessed.
The appearance of the demon king and his expression made Hao understand it at once.
The snake man is just a sacrifice to determine his danger.
A primitive human being, breaking the dusty order of the Dark Continent for a long time, this is a provocation to the superiors.
Not to mention the master-level lifeforms, even higher beings will not allow it.
Hazy hasn't replied yet.
Overhead, there was a golden glow in the sky.
A creature with three pairs of white wings slowly descended.
The breath is sacred.
Each wing was like a cloud hanging from the sky, and hanging in the center of the wing was a human flesh crawling with maggots, and a human face was born in the abdomen, not on the neck.
Hazy just glanced at it, then turned his head again, looking in another direction.
This time, it was a giant bear running from the end of the horizon, and the strange thing was that the bear's body was not composed of flesh and blood, but more like a slime substance.
The threat that these three-headed creatures give to Hazy is no less than that of the snake people.
Apparently they are all dominant-level lifeforms.
"Are you going to take advantage of your injuries to take advantage of your weakness?"
Expressionless.
Since it is an intelligent being, then... It's normal to play with a little means.
However, Hazy had no intention of escaping, and he had just absorbed the soul of Cambysius......
But the three creatures didn't seem to have any intention of fighting him, and under the gaze of Hazy, the Demon King suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in a gesture of submission.
The angel-like creature also curled up its wings.
The bear is prostrate on the ground.
The statements of the three are obviously not aimed at themselves.
His eyelids jumped, and he looked up at the sky again.
"Above the Dominant-level Demon King... Is it a god? ”
The pupils are constricted like the eye of a needle.
The system shows that the status of the food chain has been predicted.
In addition, in the murals of the Bozwa tribe, including the books of the Kuluta tribe, some images show that the human races inhabiting different parts of the Dark Continent have the habit of worshipping a certain god... And the fact that a creature like the Demon King can exist in the Dark Continent itself already speaks for itself.
"Actually... There really is..."
When I saw that it was as dark as an abyss, the black and red sky rippled like the clouds and the sun... Hazy's heart shook.
He was not surprised by such a thing as gods, but surprised that the life energy bred by the Dark Continent, including the alternation and evolution between genes, could really reach the point of creating gods.
This kind of god is definitely not the god that he knew in his previous life or in the human world in this life, the kind of supreme existence.
But... Simply through hunting, fighting, and even climbing up to the bottom of a certain food chain, he has become a 'god' step by step in the endless history and years.
Evolved to the state of 'God'.
