1047: Chapter 19 Danger Zone [Second Update] 1047: Chapter 19 Danger Zone [Second Update] âDie!â
A thrust to the forefoot pierced right through a massive head.
The three-headed monster let out a sky-shattering wail, causing the surrounding fog monsters to flee in terror.
Although the three-headed monster had lost one head, the remaining two heads attempted to bite the attacker.
But as it attacked, a faint silhouette appeared behind it.
The figure moved with the speed of lightning and, in a single charge, it severely slashed at another head of the monster.
The slashed head immediately split into two perfect halves, the cut so incredibly smooth that the blood only began to spurt after hitting the ground, creating an eerily exceptional scene!
The remaining head was utterly terrified.
The two monsters in front of him were clearly stronger than him by a rank, which was something this less intelligent monster couldnât comprehend.
Usually, it was rare for him to encounter even one monster slightly weaker than him, let alone two of equal strength now attacking him togetherâthis was beyond his imagination.
Combining forcesâwasnât that something only weaker individuals did?
And yet, each of these two was stronger than he was, and still they teamed up?
Also, what exactly were these two creatures?
They seemed completely different from the local species!
This monster was overwhelmed with confusion, but clearly, the others were not going to give him much time to ponder.
As only the last head remained, still somewhat dazed, the attacking forefoot, with an incredibly fierce momentum, thrusted ferociously!
Splosh!
The last remaining head instantly burst into a spray of blood.
This scene caused countless three-headed monsters around, whose vision was far superior to their combat capabilities, to feel terrified, and they started to retreat backwards.
âHeh, Lord Jia Yan, your strength remains so formidable.
Itâs been three days, yet you still possess such terrifying stamina.
Iâm impressed,â said the lightning-speed monster as it approached the attacker, clearly cautious yet awe-stricken by its power.
âLikewise, your endurance is equally surprising,â the attacker responded, also showing considerable wariness.
These two monsters were none other than Jia Yan and Souwu.
They had arrived in the Frightful Foggy Area three days ago.
Souwu had led Jia Yan, fighting all the way here.
The path they took had truly been one of relentless battle.
Jia Yan couldnât even recall how many three-headed monsters he had killed.
These creatures all had similar bodies, and the more he killed, the stronger the three-headed monsters in front of him seemed to become.
Even Jia Yan began to feel fatigued.
However, the one they had just killed was comparable to a Mid-Starry Sky Period monster.
By killing it, it seemed to have sent a threat to the three-headed monster species on the side, thus they both found a moment to speak and rest.
âThis old creature looks almost like itâs on its deathbed, yet it has such stamina?â Jia Yan glanced at Souwu, astounded by his vitality.
Even him, a renowned Evolutionary Creature for his endurance, was starting to struggle in the fight, whereas this near-death creature was still lively, which was utterly illogical.
âLord Jia Yan, donât be surprised.
My combat power has greatly decreased, and I have been using spatial power.
Itâs a method that borrows boost in strength.
If we talk about stamina, I definitely canât compare with you,â Souwu, an old creature who lived who knows how long, guessed Jia Yanâs thoughts and straightforwardly explained.
âI see, both True Energy and spatial power, the creatures here really are busy,â Jia Yan shook his head, somewhat emotional about the Cosmic Level Beings of this place.
First, he learned about True Energy here, and now a new capability related to space, although it seemed not many stronger beings studied it.
Among the strong ones he had encountered before, only Pai Lan from the top ten delved into it.
âHeh, Lord Jia Yan.
Even if you arenât one of the strong ones from this starry sky, I guess the path of the strong ones from your place is quite similar.
True Energy, of course, is indispensable for advancing to Stellar level, but spatial power is not so common.
Only those aged too far in the Cosmic Level delve into it like me, an old Venerable almost too old to further old, nothing much to rejoice about,â Souwu shook his head and explained Jia Yanâs remarks.
Over the past few days, Souwu had not made any moves against Jia Yan, presumably because the Chaos Fruit he mentioned was indeed real.
Of course, this was just Jia Yanâs initial judgment, as he could hardly fathom the thoughts of such an ancient creature, given that even combining both his lifetimes, he was not yet fifty years old.
Jia Yan did not respond to Old Souwuâs words.
Whether there were any High-space Level beings within the Orion Arm remained an unanswered question, let alone Starry Sky Venerable Level ones.
For now, he could only give a vague response.
Seeing that Jia Yan did not reply, Souwu did not press further.
He simply stood up, his gaze fixed on the fog not far away, his entire demeanor somewhat solemn.
Jia Yan did not disturb him.
Honestly, Souwuâs behavior so far seemed to indicate he had let his guard down around Jia Yan.
If Jia Yan wanted to attack, now would be the perfect moment, and he was almost certain to succeed.
However, Jia Yan would not attackâaside from the possible gain of the Chaos Fruit, he needed Souwuâs spatial discernment ability to quickly get out of this area.
Besides, Jia Yan was unsure whether Souwu had other defensive means.
After much consideration, he temporarily abandoned the idea of attacking Souwu.
âLord Jia Yan, we are about to reach the place I mentioned.
However, the next area will be the most dangerous, and weâll need to use all our abilities.
Each of the three-headed monsters there has reached the Mid-Starry Sky Period, and the strongest is even at the Starry Sky Venerable Level.
Even I am not sure I can get through, so you must be careful,â Souwu said after checking the path ahead.
âSince weâve come this far, letâs give it a try.
But as I said before, if I find myself in an unavoidable danger, I will flee immediately; just donât blame me then,â Jia Yan replied, looking into the mist-enshrouded area.
Jia Yan envied Souwuâs ability to discern distant paths clearly, but it was also this skill that posed a threat to him, making it impossible for Jia Yan to grasp it in the moment.
After resting briefly, they continued their journey.
Both were still in relatively intact condition, which somewhat surprised Souwu.
When he first met Jia Yan, he only asked that Jia Yan be able to fly, promising to use all his strength to protect Jia Yan to the site of the Chaos Fruit.
After that, Jia Yanâs ability to fly would serve another purpose, and then Jia Yan would be of no further use.
But now, Jia Yanâs strength had grown significantly under his watch over a few years, subtly able to confront him, giving him more confidence in obtaining the so-called Chaos Fruit!
As the two monsters flew, Jia Yanâs body reached about fifty meters in length, with each leg averaging a hundred metersâeach one double his body lengthâmaking it seem overwhelmingly terrifying.
As for Souwu, he appeared somewhat frail, but those who knew his speed and combat power wouldnât dare consider him a typical, nearly dying monster.
His strength was at the Lord Level, not to mention his mysterious spatial power, which seemed to surpass what Pai Lan could do by far.
His claw-slashing ability was something Jia Yan dared not meet head-on even with his Bluish Defense active.
The surrounding air began to take on a chaotic aspect, the entire atmosphere laden with an extremely terrifying radiation power.
âI knew it!
This fog is actually a vaporized form of the Chaos Stone?!â
As the fog became even denser, Jia Yan finally discovered this placeâs secret!
He was extremely amazed.
He had been pondering before; the entire Chaos Starfield seemed inseparable from the so-called Chaos Stones, whether in the Desolate Star System, at the supposed Chaos harvesting site, or upon encountering those strange celestial bodies in the Chaos Starfield, even on the Mysterious Giant Starâeverywhere bore the imprint of the Chaos Stone, justifying the name âChaos Starfield.â
And this fog, whose true form had remained unknown until now, turned out to be just another vaporized version of the Chaos Stone.
The effect it had on biological brain waves was none other than its radiation energy!
âSo it is!â Jia Yan looked somewhat bitterly at his surroundings; everything was related to the Chaos Stone, a presence both formidable and terrifying.
The so-called Chaos Fruit must be related to the Chaos Stone, too, right?
Suddenly, as Jia Yanâs thoughts wandered far, a terrifying roar unlike any before erupted from the fog ahead!
âHey, a High-space Level three-headed monster greets us with such vigor; Lord Jia Yan, we must each do our best now.
The area with the Chaos Fruit is just a hundred kilometers ahead.
From here on, itâs up to our own abilities.â
Souwu shouted, and then his figure seemingly dispersed into the fog, using spatial abilities he had never shown before to dodge aside.
The roaring monster also revealed its body at this moment; three massive heads that seemed to bear the weight of the heavens and earth appeared directly in front of Jia Yan!
