Among the ten thousand Cosmic Martial Artists, only a handful survived Wang Xu’s wave of attacks.
They were the initiators of this assault, each possessing strength beyond the invincible White Hole Level, yet at this moment their faces were ashen, and their gazes at Wang Xu trembled.
"Didn’t you say if thousands attacked together, we’d definitely kill him!" A Cosmic Martial Artist with a silver cloth wrapped around his head had an iron-blue face, "I told you, he killed over a thousand people in one breath last time, he’s so powerful we can’t provoke him... yet you still came to find him!"
"Now you know, that guy is a powerhouse, a super powerhouse from the Ten Extremes Great Country!"
Another man with an eagle-like head couldn’t help but speak: "I subdued over six hundred White Hole Levels, and not even one minute could they last against him. Such a figure... too terrifying!"
"Everyone calm down!" A Cosmic Martial Artist with a venomous look, as sinister as a snake or scorpion, spoke, with a half-broken brown wing behind him, "How strong he is doesn’t matter, don’t forget why we planned to kill him here!"
"That plan can only be used if our subordinates hold him up; otherwise, we’ll be destroyed with him!" The man with the silver cloth wrapped around his head hurriedly said.
"That’s right, in this situation, we can’t shake him at all, we better leave quickly, or we might die here too!" The eagle-headed man said quickly.
"Hmph!" The Winged Warrior’s gaze surged with intense hatred, "If you want to leave, go ahead. I’m staying to kill him!"
The Winged Warrior’s hand stroked his broken wing at his back, once a symbol of pride and nobility, setting him apart as a National Son... Yet this hateful guy in front of him shattered his wing, leaving it in ruins, never to heal as before.
"I won’t let him go!" The Winged Warrior gritted his teeth.
"Crazy... really crazy!"
"He’s given up on life... Damn it, should’ve never listened to his bewitchment, what are ninety thousand Map Fragments if we can’t survive to get them? Let’s go, let’s go quickly!"
The two were exasperated, not daring to linger for a moment, quickly breaking through the air to escape far away.
"Oh? They ran?" Wang Xu, having just collected the Map Fragments of tens of thousands of Cosmic Martial Artists, noticed the remaining three, of whom two quickly fled, "Run if you will, next time you can bring more Map Fragments."
Wang Xu’s lips curled into a smile.
Collecting all those fragments at once, Wang Xu’s total number of Map Fragments reached a hundred thousand.
But to Wang Xu’s disappointment, these hundred thousand fragments couldn’t piece together a complete map.
"Hmm?" Wang Xu looked up, noticing one of the three Cosmic Martial Artists hadn’t left, "Another stubborn one, not yielding even unto death?"
Among the tens of thousands Wang Xu slaughtered, all were geniuses of various countries, some stubborn by nature, choosing to die as heroes on the battlefield than to be defeated soldiers.
For such people, Wang Xu had only one method.
"Then let me fulfill your wish!" With a twist of the White Jade Long Saber, he slashed directly toward that person.
The dark, hidden blade aura traveled through the void, rushing toward the Winged Warrior.
The Winged Warrior closed his eyes, continuously forming intricate hand seals, as though performing a secret technique, his lips moving, barely audible sounds flowing out.
"Poof!" Wang Xu’s strike pierced through the Winged Warrior’s Immortal Battle Armor defense, penetrating the warrior’s chest, causing his body to start splitting from within.
Yet even so, the Winged Warrior did not die immediately, though his life force drastically declined, his body still stood there, hands rapidly changing the hand seals, and the rhythm of sounds from his lips increased.
"What is he doing?" Wang Xu frowned.
Truth be told, the Winged Warrior’s body was quite resilient, surviving Wang Xu’s strike whereas others would have been cleaved in half, or their weaker bodies blown to blood mist.
But this Winged Warrior neither resisted nor fled, just kept forming the hand seals.
Wang Xu was puzzled, unable to figure out what he was doing, a sense of alertness rising within him.
Unusual, indeed suspicious.
Suddenly, the Winged Warrior opened his eyes, his blood-splattered eyes staring at Wang Xu, mouth emitting a strange "giggling" laugh.
As the Winged Warrior’s eyes opened, the ground trembled, a thunderous roar echoed; the land seemed to shake within a ten-thousand-mile radius.
"Such powerful energy!" Wang Xu was shocked, feeling a terrifying presence rising from the ground beneath him, approaching.
This aura, no weaker than Wang Xu, perhaps even above him.
"Mixed Universe Realm!" Wang Xu recognized it instantly.
A low, muffled growl came from the ground, and in just an instant, as Wang Xu realized, an enormous, terrifying hand burst from the ground, reaching directly for Wang Xu.
"Retreat!" Cold sweat broke out on Wang Xu, stepping onto the unedged green Sword Shadow, reflecting light to shoot rapidly away, his explosive speed just barely dodging the strike.
Wang Xu’s heart lingered on fear, realizing the power of the Mixed Universe Realm; even an ordinary hit required his earnest effort to avoid.
This is a decayed giant hand full of holes, with skin that has turned black. Through the rotting flesh, one can see the ghastly white bones underneath.
The decayed hand didn’t catch Wang Xu, but instead reached for the Winged Warrior.
"Haha..." The Winged Warrior was tightly grasped by the decayed hand, his whole body rupturing with bones and tendons breaking and blood splattering. Yet, a sinister smile spread across his face, his gaze cold as an evil spirit from the underworld, glaring at Wang Xu, "You can’t escape. No matter how strong you are, you can’t run away! Haha..."
With blood in his mouth, the Winged Warrior laughed maniacally, but his laughter was abruptly cut off.
"Puff!" The decayed hand squeezed tightly, and the Winged Warrior’s body shattered entirely, crushed into debris by the terrifying force, and his life force vanished suddenly.
The decayed hand pressed down on the unstable ground, gripping it tightly. With a thunderous sound, the earth cracked open, and a massive figure leaped high into the sky, soaring tens of thousands of meters up.
"Special lifeform!" Wang Xu saw it clearly.
This was a special lifeform with a body tens of meters tall, resembling an ape. Its entire body was covered in black decayed flesh, making it look incredibly disgusting. Coupled with sparse black hair and a ferocious face, it was like a monkey monster corroded by acid.
But Wang Xu knew, this was a special lifeform nurtured by the Thousandfold Divine Country.
Just like Tai Long Peak, in a closed world, the operational Cosmic Laws are far from the external world. Over long epochs, unique special lifeforms are born.
Flame people, Ice crystal people, Rock people... All kinds, and the special lifeform resembling an ape before him was born in such a manner.
Their original forms were not , but as they were corroded by time and washed by wind and sand, experiencing various natural processes, especially after absorbing the flesh and blood of other creatures, they evolved into different appearances.
"Just as expected." Wang Xu’s Spiritual Sense swept gently, and he immediately discovered a bloody Purgatory Burial Ground tens of thousands of meters deep underground, where numerous Cosmic Martial Artists and Star Giant Beast corpses were scattered on the ground. The rotting aura permeated the air, and among those corpses was a black blood pool nourished by flesh and blood.
The ape-like special lifeform was probably soaking in the black blood pool, and over time, evolved into its current form.
In a flash of thought, the ape-like special lifeform descended from the sky, its large hands carrying terrifying power, rushing toward Wang Xu.
"Cosmic Law!" Wang Xu’s eyes widened as he sensed a trace of Cosmic Law in the attack of this ape-like special lifeform.
Wang Xu opened his mouth and spewed Endless Fire, a sea of flames whistling out, covering the surrounding hundreds of miles.
However, the ape-like special lifeform passed through the Endless Fire directly, continuing its assault on Wang Xu.
"Even the Endless Fire is useless!" Wang Xu was shocked. The ape-like special lifeform’s hair was clearly tainted by the Endless Fire, but somehow the special lifeform managed to extinguish the flames with unknown means, all vanishing in the end.
This was the first time Wang Xu saw the Endless Fire being broken so easily.
"Mixed Universe Realm... Endless Fire is ineffective against someone of the Mixed Universe Realm." Wang Xu immediately understood and swiftly darted away, trying to evade the attack.
But that was impossible.
The ape-like special lifeform had reached the Initial Chaos Universe Realm with a speed and power that surpassed Wang Xu. There was no escaping this strike!
The giant hand came crashing down, causing Wang Xu’s body to shudder violently, spurting a mouthful of blood, his internal organs trembling.
Someone at the Mixed Universe Realm is indeed strong.
Wang Xu’s face turned pale, but a fierce fighting spirit burst forth in his eyes.
His body, knocked back thousands of meters, suddenly halted. The White Jade Long Saber in his hand flickered dimly, emanating a subtle glow.
"Kill!" With a roar of fury, three streaks of Light and Dark Blade Aura slashed through the void, charging directly at the ape-like special lifeform.
Wang Xu wasn’t slow either, following closely behind the blade aura. A green glow blossomed within him as the Endless Life healed his damaged body, keeping his battle power at its peak.
The ape-like special lifeform’s body was torn open in three places, blood flowing abundantly, clearly showing that Wang Xu’s attack could break through its Mixed Universe Realm flesh, causing it injury.
Wang Xu’s gaze also showed a hint of ferocity as he charged straight at the ape-like special lifeform.
Fierce battle, entangled combat.
Wang Xu utilized the Endless Sword for explosive speed, employing it for aggressive attacks and retreating defenses, while continuously slashing out Light and Dark Blade Aura, causing the ape-like special lifeform to repeatedly lacerate.
But the ape-like special lifeform had reached the Mixed Universe Realm, its regeneration capabilities were incredibly formidable, and the damage caused by the Light and Dark Blade Aura was erased within moments, as if it had never appeared.
The ape-like special lifeform continuously attacked Wang Xu with its black large hands, aiming to crush Wang Xu to death.
Its attacks were immensely powerful, reaching an incredibly formidable level of strength.
Wang Xu relied on his body, which had reached the Mixed Universe Realm, to resist each assault. Every attack caused Wang Xu’s body to tremble, and a few bones to break. If not for the existence of Endless Life, Wang Xu would have been killed by this ape-like special lifeform long ago.
"Its energy is depleting." Wang Xu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a gleam in his eyes, and attacked again.
The ape-like special lifeform’s regeneration and resistance to Wang Xu’s attacks both required Cosmic Energy sustenance. Wang Xu had Endless Life and Mysterious Flame, while the ape-like special lifeform had nothing. As the ongoing drain continued, eventually, it would be at a disadvantage! (To be continued.
