Chapter 166: Chapter 162 Interlude CG (Vote for monthly pass!)_2
The firmament was red, both from the evening glow and the blood that filled the sky.
Wei Jingwu stood at the forefront of the defensive line, his Awakened Ability ‘Sharp Breath’ fully unleashed, transforming him into a blade demon. His elongated, blood-red blade light was fused with an incredibly sharp energy, intertwining and merging.
With the strength of one man, he fought two Superhuman Rank Blood Wings!
The ground shattered, and blood sprayed across the sky.
The fearless figure was immortalized in that moment.
“Wei Jingwu, with his blood-red blade light, slew two Superhuman Rank Blood Wings, but he was so grievously injured that he could not suppress the backlash of the Mysterious Evil and, on the verge of death, he left all his knowledge in the Land of Inheritance. With all his remaining strength, he deepened the engraving of his legacy.”
“On the 186th day after your departure, due to the fall of Superhuman Rank Wei Jingwu and many warriors, Ember Village became increasingly precarious, while the gray crack in the firmament still stretched a considerable length.”
“On the 187th day after your departure, thanks to the contingency plans you had put in place, the Junior Apostle status and skill instruction, and the infusion of fate points, the Ancient Tree Demon broke the shackles of fate, advancing to the fourth level of Awakening, and for a time, the precarious defensive line was once again stabilized.”
“On the 188th day after your departure, the second seed Wang Hei took up the scepter symbolizing command authority and ordered that everyone, whether Ember warriors or villagers, must work in groups of three, with random rotations.”
“On the 189th day after your departure, Wang Hei secretly handed the Glorious Scepter to the Ancient Tree Demon to keep enlightening Tree Demons and distribute them around the perimeter of the village.”
“On the 190th day after your departure, Wang Hei rooted out 13 villagers who had been bewitched by Mysterious Evil and, confirming they were beyond saving, executed them.”
“On the 192nd day after your departure, Wang Hei inherited Wei Jingwu’s legacy in the Land of Inheritance, undergoing an entire transformation. He picked up Wei Jingwu’s black battle blade to continue the will, using his blade to slay the Mysterious Evil.”
“On the 195th day after your departure, Wang Hei entered the fourth Awakening.”
“On the 199th day after your departure, the Blood Wings once again launched a major assault. The Ancient Tree Demon held off two Superhuman Rank Blood Wings, while Wang Hei, wielding the black battle blade, used three strikes to slay a Superhuman Rank Blood Wing, quickly cooperating with the Ancient Tree Demon to kill two more.”
“On the same day, Li Ergou and Li Sanniu ambushed a Blood Wing troop that was attempting to take a detour through the Tree Demon Forest. By then, the Tree Demon Forest had grown far mightier through constant enlightenment, ambushing this formidable Blood Wing troop.”
“On the 222nd day after your departure, all was calm, and the third seed, Li Ergou, broke through to the fourth level of Awakening.”
“On the 256th day after your departure, all was calm, and the fourth seed, Li Sanniu, broke through to the fourth level of Awakening.”
“On the 288th day after your departure, all was calm, and the sixth seed, Yang Yong, attempted to break through to the fourth Awakening but failed and perished instantly.”
“On the 301st day after your departure, the fifth seed, Qu Ni, failed to break through the fourth Awakening and was seriously injured. She passed away eleven days later, using all her remaining strength before death to inscribe her lifelong knowledge in the Land of Inheritance.”
“On the 450th day after your departure, the Blood Wings had not appeared for a long time, with only occasional traces of Mysterious Evil seeping through. Most of the Ember warriors had relaxed, but Wang Hei still continued the previous caution and requested that training not be neglected.”
“On the 480th day after your departure, Wang Hei’s blade technique reached Peak Mastery, and his Visualization Method had also reached the level of a master. Blade Strike, Shadow Step, Bronze Skin, and other skills originating from other legacies, each had at least reached a master level of proficiency.”
“On the 500th day after your departure, it was still calm, but Wang Hei’s sense of foreboding gradually intensified.”
“At this time, because the Mysterious energy was gradually dwindling, and no Blood Wings were arriving, it became increasingly difficult to raise the level of Awakening.”
“On the 515th day after your departure, Wang Hei’s sense of foreboding grew more intense, and he ordered the dispersal of the ordinary villagers, only allowing Ember warriors to remain on guard.”
“On the 516th day after your departure, the terrifying scarlet giant pupil appeared once again, prying open the crack, and although a flooding river of blood did not gush forth, the Blood Wings fell like rain and under the giant scarlet pupil’s gaze, they seemed immortal, truly horrific.”
“On the 517th day after your departure, the Blood Wings were still falling, and the number of Ember warriors had dwindled to ninety-six.”
“On the 518th day after your departure, Li Ergou sniped two Superhuman Rank Blood Wings and died in the fierce battle.”
“On the 520th day after your departure, Li Sanniu forcefully slain a Superhuman Rank Blood Wing but succumbed to his grave injuries. He left his knowledge in the Land of Inheritance and passed away instantly, leaving only 33 Ember warriors remaining, each injured and unable to recover from their wounds.”
“On the 522nd day after your departure, only a sliver of the gray crack in the firmament remained, and that blood-red line connecting the other side was on the brink of breaking. However, at that moment, the village defenses were in even greater crisis, with less than one in ten Ember warriors surviving, and the outer Tree Demons becoming increasingly sparse.”
At that moment, apart from the square inch of land around the Ancient Tree Demon and the Land of Inheritance on the back mountain, the entire village lay in ruins.
The sky was scarlet, the earth was blood-red, and remnants and broken limbs were everywhere.
If they retreated to defend the Land of Inheritance, thanks to its special properties, it would not be difficult to hold the ground.
But,
they could not defend.
In front was the enemy, and behind was their homeland.
Wang Hei’s eyes blazed with fury, and his entire body, wrapped in black armor, burst out with a scarlet light that seemed even more dazzling than the crimson sky above.
His Mysterious Evil was boiling!
His blood was boiling!
The fire of his spirit and will within his heart were also blazing fiercely, turning into a wildfire!
In his left hand, he held a staff, and in his right, a blade. At this moment, Wang Hei reached the pinnacle of sublimation!
The sublimation of will and spirit was also the sublimation of Mysterious Evil!
His sword technique broke through to levels above Peak Mastery.
His blade pierced through to levels above Peak Mastery.
He stepped into the void, climbing higher with each stride, facing the enormous pupil in the firmament, his aura climbing incessantly.
He was awakening!
The murmurs and roars at his ears were like fabric being torn apart instantaneously, his eyes only saw streaks of blood.
Wang Hei swung his blade, and a several hundred meters long scarlet blade light swept across the sky, as if splitting the heavens, from the blood pupil above came a surprised chirp, and that majestic presence from across the distance spared no expense to bring down immense power.
The scarlet obscured the sky.
Wang Hei continued to step into the void, rising with each step.
At the level of a leading commander!
At the level of a throne!
His blood-soaked body was twisted as if he had clawed his way out of hell itself, but his aura continued to soar higher and higher without pause.
Sublimating to the ultimate limit, he condensed all the strength of his body, gathered the faith of all the warriors into one blade, which he slashed forth from his hand.
At that moment, the sky truly split open.
The scarlet light pierced through dozens of miles.
That one giant blood pupil shattered under the blade light, the blood-colored threads that connected it to the other side also completely severed.
The gray rift vanished.
The tide of Mysterious Evil receded.
The sky regained its azure color.
“On your 522nd day away, Wang Hei reached the ultimate sublimation, annihilated the Blood Wings, and repelled a strand of divine thought cast down by the ‘Scarlet Emperor.'”
“On your 525th day away, Wang Hei sat within the Land of Inheritance, gazing at the azure sky without a single seam, showing a rare smile.”
“His eyes closed, his body inch by inch turning to ash, with the ashes scattering in the wind towards the north of the Land of Inheritance, where stood tombstones one after another.”
