Chapter 92 Death's Brink, Falling into the Demonic Path!
Their concerns have been proven true.
Despite the Dragon Kingdom's highly efficient containment measures, the speed at which the demonic energy spread exceeded everyone's expectations.
In just three hours, the ominous black fog covered a ten-kilometer radius of sea.
Some unfortunate seabirds and fish that got close to the demonic energy underwent terrifying changes the moment they came into contact with it.
They quickly became ferocious and bloodthirsty, tearing and attacking each other.
A remote fishing village on the coast of the East China Sea.
A fisherman in his fifties ignored the ban that was being broadcast repeatedly on the radio.
Relying on his decades of seafaring experience, he secretly sailed out to sea in a small fishing boat, hoping to make a quick buck during the blockade.
He was "lucky" and caught a strange fish that was completely black and struggling in one go.
While handling the strange fish, he accidentally cut his finger, leaving a small wound.
A barely perceptible wisp of black energy seeped into his body through the wound.
Within minutes, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his reason was quickly consumed by a chaotic bloodlust.
"Hehe..."
The demonized fisherman let out a roar that was not human, dropped his fishing net, and began to attack everyone he encountered in the village.
His strength and speed have been greatly enhanced, and his body is covered with a faint layer of black mist, making him impossible to harm from ordinary attacks.
By the time Long Jun's rapid response force arrived, hundreds of people in the fishing village had been infected, and the scene was chaotic.
Inside the cockpit of the "Candle Dragon"
Su Chen monitored the urgent intelligence coming from various places through the 'Pangu' system, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
The appearance of the demonized humans came even faster than he had anticipated.
We must find a way to eradicate the demonic energy!
He carefully searched through the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments, not missing a single word.
Although the reborn individuals vary in strength, they come from the future, so someone will always know something about them!
[Oh no, the first demonized village has appeared! Next up is a city near the coast!]
[Purify demonic energy? Forget about it. In my past life, various countries tried countless methods, but even those with light-type abilities couldn't do anything about it; they could only delay the damage, not eradicate it!]
The only way is to hide!
Amidst the despairing comments, a crucial piece of information suddenly emerged.
Wait! I remember a treasure was born in my past life called... the Pure White Lotus! Yes! That's it! It's said to purify all things, including demonic energy!
As soon as this comment appeared, others immediately followed suit.
[Yes, yes, yes! I remember now! That thing is in an ancient secret realm in the Kunlun Mountains! Its appearance caused a huge commotion and sparked a fierce battle among various powerful forces!]
Su Chen's spirits lifted instantly.
Pure White Lotus! Kunlun Mountain!
He immediately locked the area on the holographic map of the 'Pangu' system to the vast Kunlun Mountains.
"Using 'Ancient Mystery Realm,' 'High-Energy Reaction,' and 'Lotus' as keywords, we filtered all areas of the Kunlun Mountains!"
[Command confirmed, full-domain scan and data comparison in progress...]
A massive stream of data flashed past Su Chen's eyes, and the map of the Kunlun Mountains was divided into countless grids, each one being examined with high precision.
A few seconds later, a glaring red dot suddenly lit up in a certain area of the map.
[Filtering complete, only one match identified: Kunlun Mountains, Death Valley.]
Su Chen's fingertip swept across the virtual map of the Kunlun Mountains, and a glowing coordinate was firmly locked.
The Pure White Lotus, the only hope for purifying demonic energy, lies there.
Just as he was preparing to activate the Candle Dragon mechanical body and set off for the Kunlun Secret Realm.
The main interface of the Pangu system was suddenly covered by a glaring red alert.
[WARNING! Intense energy conflict detected at the second line of defense in the East China Sea!]
[Warning! Hydra King's life signal has disappeared!]
[Warning! Wu Jingyao's vital signs are extremely weak!]
Su Chen paused, then immediately switched the main monitoring screen to the East China Sea theater.
On the screen, the vast sea was dyed an eerie dark red, and countless enormous snake corpses floated in the blood, a horrifying scene.
In the center of the sea of blood, a figure swayed precariously.
It was none other than the Blood Sea Empress, Wu Jingyao.
At this moment, she was covered in blood, her magnificent armor was tattered, and her once invincible arrogance had completely vanished.
Clearly, she paid a heavy price and exhausted all her trump cards in order to kill the Hydra King.
Just then, two figures appeared silently behind her, one in front and one behind, cutting off all her escape routes.
It was Lin Xue and Liu Yiyi.
When Wu Jingyao turned around and saw the two of them, she was first stunned, then let out a mournful laugh.
"Hehe... Su Chen..."
She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her hatred almost bursting forth from her chest.
"You really are... impeccable in your calculations!"
She knew perfectly well that Lin Xue and Liu Yiyi alone would never dare to ambush her at this time.
The only explanation is that all of this was arranged by Su Chen.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
He risked his life to kill the Hydra King, only to have it fall into Su Chen's hands.
Lin Xue and Liu Yiyi didn't waste any words; they were there to carry out orders.
However, despite being seriously injured, Wu Jingyao did not give up and wait for death.
A sinister smile appeared on her face: "Su Chen, do you think the two of them can kill me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sea of blood beneath her feet suddenly surged violently.
Dozens of burly figures suddenly sprang out from the blood. These featureless monsters were the blood slaves she had created with her own blood essence!
The blood slaves roared silently as they charged toward Lin Xue and Liu Yiyi.
Lin Xue's frost power and Liu Yiyi's holy flames of light erupted instantly, but were blocked by the blood slaves' bodies.
These monsters, devoid of pain, became Wu Jingyao's strongest shield.
"Su Chen, you still underestimate me!"
Taking advantage of the blood slave's delay, Wu Jingyao turned around and was about to disappear into the depths of the sea of blood.
Given a chance to catch her breath, she has countless ways to recover from her injuries and make a comeback.
Suddenly, several mechanical beings hidden in the distance appeared and launched an attack, their dark cannons suddenly firing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The beams of the annihilation cannon and the electromagnetic railgun intertwined to form a web of death, descending from the sky and launching an indiscriminate carpet bombardment of the sea of blood.
"What?!"
Wu Jingyao, who was about to escape, looked up in horror. She had never expected that Su Chen would have such a trick up his sleeve.
"Damn it!"
She let out a roar of unwilling anger, using the last remaining power of the Blood Sea within her body.
In an instant, a torrent of blood surged into the sky.
A massive, blood-red dome enveloped her, attempting to shield her from the devastating barrage of fire.
The surrounding sea area, spanning thousands of meters, was completely transformed into a blood-red inferno.
But all of this was in vain.
Under the combined bombardment of several SS-class mechs regardless of cost, the seemingly indestructible blood sea dome only lasted for less than ten seconds.
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The blood-red dome crumbled inch by inch, and a destructive beam of light instantly pierced through Wu Jingyao's body.
"puff--"
A large mouthful of blood gushed out, and Wu Jingyao's defenses were completely destroyed.
His body, like a kite with a broken string, crashed heavily onto the sea, barely breathing.
She lay dying in a pool of blood, her life force rapidly fading away.
Just then, she caught a whiff of something unusual.
Demonic energy!
Of course she knew what it was.
In the past, countless powerful individuals perished in an attempt to resist demonic energy, while countless others actively embraced it in pursuit of power.
Is it to uphold humanity and die a humiliating death?
Or should one fall into the demonic path in exchange for a sliver of hope?
A struggle flashed through Wu Jingyao's mind.
But the instinct for survival quickly overwhelmed everything.
Dignity, humanity... are worthless in the face of death!
Survival is the most important thing!
She made a crazy decision.
Suddenly, she opened her mouth wide and inhaled deeply into the black mist!
As if summoned, wisps of black energy surged wildly into her seven orifices and into her wounds.
"not good!"
Liu Yiyi, who was in the distance, was the first to notice her strange behavior and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"She's trying to become a demon! Stop her!"
Without her having to say a word, Lin Xue realized something was wrong and had already taken action.
But it was too late.
Having absorbed the demonic energy, Wu Jingyao's injuries healed at a visible speed, and her dissipated life force was re-condensed.
Strange black magic patterns appeared on her body surface, intertwining with the crimson power and emanating an even more powerful and evil aura.
"Hehehe..."
Wu Jingyao let out a strange laugh and stood up again.
"Su Chen, I really should thank you! You've shown me a whole new world!"
