Chapter 348: Chapter 175: Immortal and Indestructible, Infinite Troop Spawning
It felt like passing through a viscous membrane.
The next moment, he felt solid ground beneath his feet.
The intense, pungent smell of sulfur once again flooded his nostrils.
Lin Ye opened his eyes. The eerie, dark-red sky, the Doomsday Volcano so enormous it occupied half the heavens, and the distant edge of the pitch-black, void-like world—everything was exactly as he had left it.
Lin Ye thought for a moment, then decided to return to the canyon previously occupied by the Blood Slaughter Tribe.
The underground fortress there still held a large quantity of high-purity Source Crystals he had sorted out.
After his racial template’s advancement, the new Gang Sha in his body could be rapidly compressed using those Source Crystals to form solid Gang Sha in his Qi Sea.
With his mind made up, Lin Ye delayed no longer.
His Gang Sha pulsed, flooding his feet, and a boundless power erupted in an instant.
BOOM!
A muffled boom erupted beneath his feet, stomping a shallow crater into the ground as the black volcanic rock was instantly pulverized.
Lin Ye became a streak of light, rocketing across the rugged terrain in the direction he remembered.
The surrounding scenery stretched into blurry patches of color that rapidly receded.
The rushing wind became a piercing shriek in his ears, even forming a visible white vapor cone around his body.
The speed he unleashed at full power was already approaching Mach 2, like a high-speed missile cruising over the ground.
Lin Ye could even feel this wasn’t his limit.
Once he had completely refined all the gaseous Gang Sha in his body, this speed would climb even higher.
In less than ten minutes, the familiar entrance to the volcanic canyon came into view.
However, Lin Ye frowned before he even drew near.
Besides the smell of sulfur, the air was thick with the stench of blood.
The ground at the canyon entrance was scattered with mangled bodies belonging to both the Stone Ghost Race and the Eight-armed Race.
He slowed his pace and slipped into the canyon.
The canyon’s interior was a scene of gruesome carnage.
A large-scale battle was raging.
A tribe of the Eight-armed Race that Lin Ye had never seen before was locked in a frenzied battle with an army of the Stone Ghost Race.
Battle cries and the sound of tearing flesh filled the air.
Severed limbs and entrails flew through the air, and hot blood stained the black ground a dark red.
Lin Ye instantly understood what had happened.
’This tribe of the Eight-armed Race must have discovered the Blood Slaughter Tribe had been wiped out. They came to plunder the remaining riches, only to run into a Stone Ghost Race army that was also here to investigate.’
Lin Ye’s face darkened.
He had left behind nearly two-thirds of the massive stockpile of Source Crystals when he left.
’They raided my stash!’
Killing intent flashed in Lin Ye’s eyes.
’Fine. This saves me the trouble of hunting them down.’
In his eyes, these races fighting to the death before him were nothing more than a pile of walking experience packs and fresh material for his puppets.
The next instant, Lin Ye’s figure vanished from behind the rock.
A brilliant golden flame wave roared across the battlefield. Like a meteor plunging into a pond, he charged into the heart of the fiercest fighting with unstoppable momentum.
With the Star-Piercing Spear in hand, a golden Gang Sha Flame Wave rose from Lin Ye’s body.
Wherever Lin Ye passed, he left only death and injury in his wake.
The ordinary four-armed slave soldiers and members of the Stone Ghost Race didn’t even require him to brandish his spear. Anyone who came within three meters of him had their internal organs shattered by the overwhelming waves of his Gang Sha, rendering them combat-ineffective.
PFFT!
An elite from the Eight-armed Race roared, swinging his battle-ax down at Lin Ye’s head. Without so much as a glance, Lin Ye simply thrust his spear forward.
A golden light flashed. The elite was instantly pierced through and exploded into a rain of gore.
The residual force from the attack spread out in a cleaving arc, slicing a large group of nearby combatants in half at the waist.
The battle, which had been relatively evenly matched, instantly fell apart the moment Lin Ye intervened.
In less than ten seconds.
The battlefield shifted from a two-sided clash to a desperate pincer attack on Lin Ye by the remaining elites, while the terrified rank-and-file scattered in all directions.
When the last member of the Eight-armed Race trying to escape was impaled against the canyon wall by a beam of light from the spear, the entire battlefield returned to a dead silence.
Lin Ye flicked the blood and gore from his spear tip. Burning with impatience, he walked straight to the entrance of the underground fortress.
Arriving in the basement and looking at the Source Crystal storeroom that was already half-empty, he ground his teeth in frustration.
’Damn it all!’
’They still got away with half of it.’
Lin Ye no longer held back. He swept up every remaining Source Crystal in the storeroom, regardless of size.
He stuffed the Source Crystals into his mouth one after another, as if eating jelly beans.
A violent and pure torrent of source energy exploded within his body. The vortex in his Dantian Qi Sea spun madly, absorbing and compressing all of it.
Lin Ye could clearly feel the excess gaseous Gang Sha in his body being refined and compressed at an astonishing speed, turning into pure, liquid Flowing Gang that poured into his twelve principal meridians.
Meanwhile, in the center of his Dantian Qi Sea, the solid Gangsha Core, originally only the size of a peach pit, was also rapidly expanding during this process.
When the last Source Crystal was devoured, the solid Gang Sha in his Dantian had already expanded to nearly the size of an egg, and the energy it contained was as boundless as the sea.
With a thought from Lin Ye, the egg-sized solid Gang Sha rapidly contracted inward, finally stabilizing at the size of a date pit.
But at the same time, the twelve principal meridians in his body were now completely filled with the golden, liquid Flowing Gang, flowing endlessly like twelve golden rivers.
He suspected that once he truly unlocked the P3 stage and the system adjusted his attributes, even his Eight Extraordinary Meridians could be filled with Flowing Gang.
