Chapter 603: Chapter 589: Mysterious Altar
Legendary Kill!
Everything that just happened was incredibly dangerous. Just imagine, just a projection of the Blazing Demon and Chen Feng had to use all his trump cards and only managed to subdue it with severe injuries. Now, although the mutated cockroach had just ascended, its strength was far inferior to the old Blazing Demon. But after all, it had truly stepped into the legendary realm, mastering rules, and completely saying goodbye to its previous life!
Chen Feng calculated the opponent but also bore tremendous risks. One wrong step, and it would be a complete loss. By then, he, his Summoned Beasts, and even this population of a million in the Gorge Gate would all become food for the insects. If the cockroach monster devoured all these gathered talents, its strength could very possibly rival the Blazing Demon!
This was a high-stakes gamble.
No bets on gold or silver, only lives!
Chen Feng had always been like this, born in the end times, it was originally a gamble with the heavens. Being overly cautious wouldn’t make much of a difference. In such a situation, only by fighting fearlessly could one receive several times, even a dozen times, the rewards!
Cockroach monster.
It was born with a forbidden lineage. Compared to insects, its flesh contained human genes. Once it ascended to legendary, those weak genes would be activated instantly. By then, this insect could possess the greatest ability humans desire, which is thinking!
Humans have been the top hunters in this world since the era of raw eating and blood drinking. The main reason is the ability to think. Those primitives made wood and stone into weapons and mastered the source of fire during lightning storms, evolving from zero to one, and from one gradually advancing to the technologically-dominated century of the past.
Humans relied on the ability to think!
Humans are the spirit of all things. As long as they are given enough time, they can create miracles that make all things tremble!
Before this, the cockroach monster’s lineage mostly originated from insects. But as it ascended to legendary, the hidden genes within would be completely activated. By then, it would not only learn to think but also possibly master human language.
Insects are not frightening.
Even if they have their own civilization, they’re like the Beastmen in the Abyss. Once they start fighting, they disregard everything, with no discipline at all.
But in times like these, if a leader of the Insect Race possessing human intelligence were to descend, for the human world, it would be a real disaster.
By emotion and reason.
This newly ascended legendary powerhouse must die!
And just as Chen Feng stabbed his left hand into the opponent’s wound, the cockroach monster’s two arms unexpectedly reached for Chen Feng. If this strike succeeded, Chen Feng’s body would be split in two!
The cockroach monster wasn’t dead yet?!
Indeed.
If it were any other race, if the head were severed, death would be immediate. But the cockroach species is an exception. Even with the head severed, it could still crawl on the ground for a while. And the cockroach monster had already stepped into the legendary rank, its life strengthened by a hundred times!
At this point, if one were to put its head back on its body, this powerful existence could likely be resurrected immediately, without any impact!
Blood flashed in Chen Feng’s eyes, his face displaying an expression as if he had anticipated this long ago. A lion fighting a rabbit uses all its strength. He wouldn’t underestimate any opponent, much less a true legendary rank powerhouse!
As a Summoner, Chen Feng always summoned with his right hand. Just now, he used his left hand for the sacrifice to guard against the cockroach monster’s counterattack at the moment of its death!
The body of the legendary is too sturdy. At this time, even if Flora were here, there would be no chance of escape and would only be crushed to death by those arms!
Because the gap in rank is like the distance between heaven and earth!
But Chen Feng possessed a Sub-divine Artifact, and the sharpness of this weapon was enough to cut through a legendary body!
This should be credited to the selfless contribution of the Blazing Demon. It resented Chen Feng, and to prevent him from becoming stronger, it did not hesitate to cast its projection into the human world during Chen Feng’s summons, aiming to kill this heretic!
But the Blazing Demon could never have expected that the ant in its eyes would become a commander, with several Golden Summoned Beasts serving under him. Not only was its projection shattered, harming its Origin, but even the artifact it painstakingly crafted fell into Chen Feng’s hands. It truly turned out to be a situation of losing both the chicken and the rice!
This artifact, who knows how many years it accompanied the Blazing Demon, was filled with the Blazing Demon’s thoughts. Every second Chen Feng used it, he was subjected to the maliciousness of the Fire Sword. Even though Chen Feng already possessed a trace of Demon bloodline, he still had blisters on his hands from the heat, showing just how terrifying the temperature of the Fire Sword had reached!
But what is a bit of pain compared to the corpse of a legendary being?
"Do you still wish to fight back at the brink of death? Your path to legend was all my conspiracy; if you succeed, wouldn’t I become a laughingstock? You attempt to invade this land, but haven’t I wanted to occupy the Insect Realm? By then, if I sacrifice insects, I will truly step into eternity, immortal for generations! But you are destined never to witness it!"
Chen Feng roared, wielding his sword to slash at the cockroach monster’s arm. In an instant, the two arms fell to the ground, and the next second, he aimed again at the cockroach monster’s head, shattering it with a sword. The massive head burst into fragments, completely destroyed, and the cockroach monster’s bodily functions ceased instantly, marking the true death of this legendary strong being!
"The corpse of a legendary strong being isn’t enough!" Chen Feng wasn’t afraid of disgust; he plunged one hand into the opponent’s neck. The Inferior Demon and Chen Feng were of one mind, vibrating dragon wings to pick up the previously deceased Insect Kings’ corpses, and threw them in front of Chen Feng!
"Blood Sacrifice!"
A massive hexagram appeared beneath Chen Feng’s feet, and at this moment, the corpses of the cockroach monster and the remaining Insect Kings rapidly turned into mummies. In a flash, ripples appeared before Chen Feng’s eyes, and his entire consciousness entered a completely different environment.
At this point, even Chen Feng couldn’t help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.
This was a simple, ancient altar!
It’s practically a battlefield of Asura, extending over tens of thousands of miles, covered with countless corpses, interlocked together. Among them are hundred-meter giants, skin like dark green, with just one eye occupying half of their massive head; snake-like creatures with four wings and a hook-like tail; human-shaped monsters with horns in the center of their foreheads. These monsters, some familiar to Chen Feng, some unseen!
Bloody!
Up till now, Chen Feng finally comprehended the true meaning of Bloody Hell, where blood from various races formed an endless sea of blood on the altar, covered with countless corpses, far beyond calculation.
At this moment, Chen Feng’s heart pounded rapidly like a fish dropping down a waterfall, his blood raging like a tiger unleashed, crashing wildly. He could even feel every hair on his back standing on end, trembling incessantly.
Even facing such bloody scenes, Chen Feng couldn’t suppress the disgust within his heart, eyes dyed blood-red by the gruesome sight. His face bore a savage expression, yearning to engage in slaughter, to wash away resentment with mountains of corpses and oceans of blood.
And at that moment, a familiar figure appeared on the altar—it was the cockroach monster he had just killed!
More horrifyingly, the cockroach monster regained its form, restored its arms and head, appearing on the altar. The cockroach monster was now extremely agitated, continuously lunging its arms, hitting the ground, and emitting deafening screams.
Without warning, countless severed limbs emerged from the altar, grabbing the agitated cockroach monster tightly... but it didn’t end there. An eye-piercing red glow suddenly emanated from the altar, transforming into two blood-red threads, tightly entwining the cockroach monster.
The tighter the red threads constricted, the more the cockroach monster’s skin got cut, oozing fog-like energy...
It’s astonishing that even the Insect Armor, capable of fending off blades, was cut by the red threads. These seemingly weak threads were incredibly sharp...
Moreover, Chen Feng was surprised to find that the red threads seemed to be absorbing the cockroach monster’s Origin. In just a few breaths, the cockroach monster shrunk while the absorbed threads glowed increasingly brilliant, making it hard to look directly.
The cockroach monster twisted in pain, desperately resisting, but to no avail, its energy was still being consumed bit by bit, until only death remained.
No resistance, no screams, not even comprehension— the cockroach monster was sucked into a mummy by the mysterious red threads, falling onto the altar, then dragged underneath by countless limbs, as if the altar connected to another world, everything vanished without a trace...
Chen Feng could sense that not only the cockroach monster’s energy and flesh were consumed entirely at that moment, but even its soul had completely vanished from this world.
Soul.
It is the most vital energy source for any creature!
Just like in the Abyss, after life’s demise, the soul drops into a blood pool, spawning countless worms, these worms being the manifestation of souls.
And now, the cockroach monster’s soul disappeared completely from this earthly realm, indicating that becoming even a worm in the Abyss was impossible!
Chen Feng sharply raised his head, looking at the unreachable sky. The ancient altar echoed with laughter akin to screams, and the fierce wind blew through his hair, covered in dried bloodstains, like a ghost crawling out of a blood pool, chilling him to the bone...
Numerous planes have followers of the Abyss, countless beings, countless strong entities trading flesh and soul with the Abyss.
Could it be...
This altar is the Abyss’s final visage, consuming life to feedback energy, behind seemingly fair trade breeding the most horrific bloodshed and terror in this world!
