Chapter 52: The Super Beast Invasion
The super demon that has shed its original body can also be called legendary, but in terms of development, it is far inferior to human strongmen. The way human strongmen use their abilities, although inherited from the ancient gods, has been tempered and refined over millions of years, discarding unnecessary parts and retaining only the most essential and suitable for human cultivation. Through countless years of accumulation and transmission, they have gradually risen from low to high, communicating with the energy between heaven and earth, giving rise to numerous powerful killing moves that can be said to be shocking and awe-inspiring, even making the gods themselves marvel in surprise!
The demons, despite their exceptional innate abilities and strong physical bodies, which allowed them to sense the elemental energy around them from birth and grow up with almost the same magical and martial abilities as humans. However, they still use their abilities in a very primitive way. They only know how to swallow, spit, and kill by spraying, from birth to death. They can only rely on their instincts without creating anything new. It's like cats and dogs are born to fight with their claws and teeth, but it's often unclear who will win or lose after a fierce battle, which is rough and exhausting. In contrast, humans have long abandoned using their claws and teeth and can easily kill with just one shot of a hunting rifle.
At the same time, most of the demon beasts' spiritual awakening occurs relatively late, and they can only enhance their thoughts and cognitive abilities through continuous evolution and breakthroughs, gradually approaching those of humans. Although after shedding their physical bodies, they will not be inferior to humans in terms of intelligence, and may even surpass them in certain aspects. However, they are still lacking a cultural heritage, having not developed their own unique knowledge or passed it down to future generations. They rely on brute force and instincts to survive, accumulating energy through violence. Their self-awareness and mastery of abilities will naturally be somewhat inferior. They cannot compare to the human world's diligent researchers, who spend sleepless nights studying and possess a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Moreover, this is not referring to legendary-level strongmen, but rather ordinary magical researchers. To put it simply, this is like comparing a modern factory that mass-produces goods with a traditional, primitive workshop. Although both produce the same items, the workshop cannot compare to the large-scale factory in terms of productivity or theoretical knowledge. In a fair comparison, demon beasts can only suffer defeat at the hands of human strongmen, and there are no other possibilities.
Of course, super demons can be called super demons, and it's naturally impossible to be invincible. At this stage, they shed their physical bodies, their physique becomes even stronger, their vitality is extremely long-lasting, and they also possess the ability of ultra-fast regeneration. Whether in battle, limbs are severed or half of the body is cut off and crushed, as long as the heart and brain, these two important parts are not damaged, they can quickly regenerate and recover to their original state. This is unimaginable among human strongmen. Even if it's a semi-divine level human strongman, after losing an arm or leg, they cannot immediately recover unless you have a master of the limb system by your side (although there are also healing mages in the light system, but here I set that the light system belongs to internal medicine, and the limb system is external treatment), who can help you immediately regenerate your severed limbs, regrow flesh on bare bones. Otherwise, during battle, they would have to constantly deplete their strength, making it difficult to recover. Or perhaps by condensing their divine aura, becoming a god, they could switch between elements and physical body, absorbing infinite elemental energy to fill themselves, only then can they achieve immortality of the flesh. Of course, this also indirectly explains just how powerful the blood and vitality within super demons are, and how abnormal their life force is.
Now Mutta wants to kill a super magical beast, absorbing its energy to supplement the evolution of Old Liu. This is already a desperate move, and there's no other way out. You see, before animals hibernate, they need to build up their strength by eating and drinking a lot, so that they can survive the long winter while sleeping. And when they finally emerge in the spring, they're usually skinny and starving, eager to find food to fill their bellies. Magical beasts undergoing evolution need to consume even more energy. Take that Rainforest Electric Python Old Liu saw at first, for example - after evolving, it was so exhausted that it wanted to grab a bite to eat, which is why it attacked the Gema Beast. In the end, its weak body couldn't muster up any strength to escape, and it got killed by Old Tree in just three moves. What a lucky break for Old Liu, that jinx.
Moreover, the Grand Priest had originally predicted that Old Liu would necessarily welcome his third growth within three days. Now time is approaching step by step, and it's unknown what kind of changes are happening to Old Liu in the Thunder Cocoon. However, one thing is certain: after so many days of tempering, and still guiding the Heavenly Thunder, an extremely risky high-risk activity, without eating or drinking. The current situation of Old Liu will not be good no matter what. It's likely that all bodily functions have reached their limits, weak to the point of death, and there won't be enough physical strength and mental energy to support him in completing his third growth. If he doesn't use external forces to help him, it's likely that Old Liu will either be struck dead by the Heavenly Thunder or become a stillbirth, trapped inside the Thunder Cocoon, unable to come out again.
Beyond the expectations of the high priest. Under the guidance of the earth-splitting finger, more and more demons began to approach this place, hiding in the rainforest under the heavy rain to spy. Pair after pair of eyes shone like lanterns in the dark night, red, blue, green, and even all colors were present. Several mid-level demons that didn't know death or life couldn't hold back anymore, opening their claws and teeth, lowly growling as they approached the high priest's location. Such a magnificent yuanqi reaction had already appeared, which was two stocks, how could it not attract the attention of demons? For these demons, whether it was Liu Ting who was transforming in the sky or the high priest who swallowed the unrefined dragon yuan dan, both were great supplements that could increase their strength, even more precious than those magical plants that had grown for hundreds of years. As long as they could get them, at least they could save a hundred and eighty years of growth, and rush to the edge of evolution in one go. Even if it was possible to break through with this, it would be possible to fly into the sky. Of course, the premise was that they had the chance to take it.
Mangshan took a big step forward, with his hatchet held horizontally in front of his chest. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and let out a loud roar. This roar didn't seem particularly loud at first, but it pierced through the thunderous sounds, as if it had exploded right next to the ears of the demonic beasts. It was like being in a deep sleep when suddenly a loud gong rings out, enough to shock your soul out of your body and make your liver and gallbladder shatter. With this one roar, most of the mid-tier demonic beasts that had come to watch were startled away, running with their tails between their legs. The remaining ones were so scared that they urinated and defecated simultaneously, cowering on the ground, unable to move for a while.
Whoosh! The eagle's hands held two short knives that hung down, and although they were in the dark, they emitted a cold and eerie blood light, like holding up two red lanterns, giving people a chill at first glance. Moreover, under that strange blood light, your ears, nose, and mouth seemed to be filled with a thick and pungent bloody smell, constantly stimulating your taste buds and sense of smell. It made people feel timid before the battle even began.
Provoked by Mang Shan, the high-ranking demons also refused to show weakness and stepped out one after another. In the muddy rainstorm, they faced off against Mang Shan. At a glance, there were as many as 13 of them. Even Mang Shan's chest, who had been through countless battles, was racing wildly. But that wasn't fear, it was an extremely strong excitement. His nephew was the same, with one eyebrow slightly raised and his eyes shining brightly, like a pair of transparent gems. Barbarian warriors were born to fight, their machines for battle. All they sought in life was to die gloriously on the battlefield. They pursued fighting without fear of killing, nor did they fear death. Or rather, death was their ultimate destination!
The battle had not yet begun, when a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the distance! A fiery light burst forth, like a long rainbow streaking across the low-hanging sky. As it flew closer, it suddenly halted, and then plummeted downwards like a meteorite! With a deafening crash, the earth shook violently, and mud splattered everywhere, flying hundreds of meters into the air. The area where it landed was enveloped in a massive cloud of steam, as a wave of scorching heat rolled out, driving back the chill brought by days of rain, leaving people feeling an inexplicable dry heat.
In the midst of steaming water vapor, a man with a green face and fangs, over three meters tall, with disheveled hair and skin that was all crimson in color, emerged with large strides. Under the heavy rain, the dense rainwater had not yet fallen on his body when it was swallowed by a strong fire element, evaporating into a hot white gas. Although he disliked this damp environment and even more so disliked going out for a stroll in such weather, this strange man was now attracted to something, his eyes fixed intently on the high priest who was refining the Dragon Yuan Dan, his nose twitching slightly as a look of manic joy appeared on his face, pointing at the high priest with his mouth open and speaking in a hoarse voice: "Quickly spit that thing out! Hurry up! Otherwise I'll kill you all!"
"A super beast with fire attributes, it's come so quickly!" The uncle and nephew of the Savage Mountain felt a sudden tension in their hearts, but they stepped forward in unison and stood guard beside the High Priest. Just as they had barely taken their positions, the super beast let out a mighty roar and swept past the uncle and nephew, charging towards the High Priest's side. With a raise of his hand, five razor-sharp claws popped out from his fingertips with a loud crackling sound, and were about to pierce into the High Priest's chest!
"Damn it! Stop!" Mangshan was furious, his body suddenly inflated several times larger than before, even more powerful than Arno's prime. His knife speed reached the fastest in history. With a loud crash, Mangshan struck the monster's paw with all his might, deeply embedding his hand, but unable to cut off its palm. He successfully blocked the super monster's attempt to disembowel the high priest. At this moment, Eagle swiftly drew out his short knife, and the long iron chain on it wrapped around the high priest's body, pulling him away from the spot with a strong force.
The Super Beast stared at the duck that had flown away, its heart filled with rage. Its injured palm flipped over and was instantly restored to normal. Suddenly, it shortened the distance between itself and Mang Shan, and with a loud crash, their blades clashed again. The half-moon shaped blade light shattered and disappeared in an instant. The Super Beast let out a fierce laugh, unleashing a powerful fire elemental ability that violently erupted, engulfing Mang Shan who was too slow to dodge, burning one of his arms into charcoal. It was at this moment that the Eagle's counterattack finally arrived.
This fire-attribute super demon saw a flash of light approaching, and with a weak and listless appearance, thought that the opponent was just a young whippersnapper without much ability. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, stretching out his palm to try and forcefully receive it, not realizing how bad things were until he grabbed the short knife in his hand. Just as he wanted to withdraw his hand, a blood light comparable to a divine artifact suddenly burst forth, making a "ka-cha" sound, cutting off his entire palm. But that's not all - in that instant, the super demon felt an endless amount of blood energy being forcibly drained from his veins at an alarming rate; if he didn't stop it, he would be completely drained in just a moment!
"Abominable! Barbarians, I don't care who you are! You have enraged me, the Flame King Omundra, and we will tear you all to shreds!" The super beast grasped its severed palm, rapidly retreating, its large eyes wide open, teeth bared in a furious roar. At the same time, its disheveled hair suddenly transformed into a blazing flame, fiercely burning, shooting straight up into the sky, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle that was hard to put into words amidst the rainwater.
