Chapter 594: Chapter 283: The Moment of Truth (Part 3)
He raised his hand, a mass of thick, blood-like energy swirling in his palm: "I’m ready too, it’s time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange wave emanated from within him, not originating from himself, but from the Blood Demon’s true form that he protected!
Almost simultaneously, a bizarre tremor suddenly came from deep within the earth, as if some colossal entity were awakening. Hundreds of blood magic thralls with eerie shapes appeared in the distance, their heads lowered, murmuring spells, like hundreds of wizards performing some kind of ritual!
Amidst the eerie whispers, countless cracks suddenly opened up on the ground! A scarlet liquid gushed out like a fountain! The liquid emitted a strong, pungent stench, yet it seemed infused with an extreme vitality!
Summoned by those wizards, the scarlet liquid continuously spurted out from deep underground, swiftly converging in the center of the battlefield to form pools of blood. As soon as these Blood Pools appeared, the blood magic thralls on the battlefield seemed to be called by something, and they rushed toward the pools with piercing howls!
Then, a horrifying scene unfolded. The thralls who entered the Blood Pools, those torn apart by artillery fire and scorched by flames, began to wriggle quickly under the Sea of Blood’s immersion. Their shattered bodies gradually healed, and even their severed limbs started to grow back rapidly!
Moreover, the reborn bodies were actually stronger than before! Layers of blood-colored hard armor appeared on their surface!
"Roar!!!"
The enhanced blood magic thralls, their eyes glimmering with a scarlet light, increased in speed and power by a tier, roared and charged at the positions. The machine gun turrets reopened fire, launching 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets at them. However, under the protection of that hard armor, the killing power of the armor-piercing bullets and mortar shells was greatly reduced!
And, most terrifyingly, as this scarlet liquid continued to gush out, the ring of flaming trenches began to be suppressed by the strange liquid. Outside the flames, thousands upon thousands of blood demons stood quietly, their beast-like insane eyes fixed on the base city!
"Is this the Sea of Blood?"
In the distance, Chu Xiu, who was concealing his form and preparing to find an opportunity to ambush Meng Xuanshu, slightly widened his eyes.
He immediately expanded his Divine Sense, probing towards the source of the scarlet blood. He quickly discovered the clue. It turned out that even before launching the attack, Meng Xuanshu and others had forcefully opened a giant channel three or four hundred kilometers long, directly connecting the coastline to the base city! They used water pressure to divert the blood from the Sea of Blood to the vicinity!
At this moment, those blood demons resembling wizards were using mana to draw the blood water from underground!
If it continues to drag on and the amount of blood water continues to accumulate, it will probably form a terrifying Domain in the center of the battlefield, much stronger than his Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine! At that time, the Titan Giant Mechanism will be unable to cause effective damage to these Warrior Tier, Fierce Tier creatures!
Aurora also apparently realized this point and began adjusting the fire cannon barrels to conduct long-range strikes over ten kilometers away.
However, at this time, something even more terrifying occurred.
Just as the fire cannon was about to explode, the wizard blood demons suddenly submerged into the Sea of Blood, then, as if absorbed by some powerful force, became part of a certain organism!
Not only these wizards but also other nearby blood magic thralls were absorbed into that tumor monster.
Rooted in the Sea of Blood and having absorbed a massive amount of blood demons, this immeasurable life force allowed the tumor to grow to hundreds of meters tall in just one breath, under the horrified gaze of the base city’s people!
Numerous shells exploded upon that tumor, blasting apart large chunks of flesh, yet the tumor’s growth speed was even faster! It continued to expand in size, stubbornly enduring the cannon fire!
"The game is over."
Meng Xuanshu’s face showed a slightly sickly smile. With a flicker, he appeared near that massive tumor, and countless blood-colored tentacles stretched out to grasp his body, integrating him into the deepest part of the tumor.
The next moment, as if injected with some catalyst, the tumor rapidly swelled at a rate thousands of times faster than before, gradually taking on a humanoid form amid its twisting!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Titan Giant Mechanism unleashed its firepower with all its might, but the force capable of leveling a hill couldn’t withstand the overwhelming life force nearly spilling over!
Amidst the continuous artillery fire, a thousand-foot-tall blood-colored giant was born from the flames.
