Free Web NovelChapter 118: Chapter 82: City of Monsters, Destructive Celestial Light
Lola Mountain Anomaly.
Chen Yu’s figure appeared upon a stretch of desolate wasteland.
Gazing out over the wasteland, Chen Yu sensed for the Life Fluctuations of Mutant Beasts. The increase in his points was unimportant to him.
The Source of Life was his main objective.
In the past hour or so, he had acquired over a million Source of Life.
It sounded like a lot, but for his needs, it was still far from enough.
His current Skills, not to mention his physical Evolution, required tens of millions of Source of Life at a time. All told, he would need over a hundred million.
Even his newest Skill, Destructive Celestial Light, required a full five million Source of Life.
A million Source of Life was, at this stage, truly not worth mentioning.
Treading on empty air, Chen Yu flew through the sky, making no effort to conceal his presence.
He wanted to be completely unrestrained. Perhaps the Mutant Beasts would find their own way to him before he even needed to search for them.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Chen Yu seemed to sense something, his gaze turning toward the depths of the wasteland.
Dozens of kilometers away, the Life Fluctuations of what seemed to be a large group of Mutant Beasts had appeared.
"A pack!"
"Perfect." Chen Yu’s eyes lit up. Enveloped by his Force Field, his figure vanished, shooting through the air like an invisible jet and disappearing into the clouds.
...
On the wasteland, the ruins of a building came into view. Not far off, there were more destroyed structures.
Judging by the remains of the buildings, this place had once been a civilized city.
But now, that civilization had long since vanished.
Teetering skyscrapers were covered in ivy-like plants.
Civilization was being devoured. One day, all traces of it would be completely replaced by nature.
’I’m entering the city...’ In the sky, Chen Yu’s figure materialized. He looked down upon the abandoned city, but he wasn’t particularly shocked.
From Sophie, he had once seen the annihilation from a war of civilizations. Compared to that, these ruins were nothing.
Slicing through the air, Chen Yu landed in an abandoned factory complex.
Inside the abandoned factory, wild grass grew over a meter deep.
Using his Biological Force Field to scan the area, Chen Yu’s gaze locked onto the depths of the factory.
The Life Fluctuations of more than a dozen Mutant Beasts appeared.
By capturing the Life Fluctuations of the Mutant Beasts, he could determine their exact number.
"Transform!"
Chen Yu spoke in a low voice. The metal bracelet on his left wrist shifted, and a long, slender Tang-style saber appeared in his hand.
HUMMM—!
Qi flooded the blade as Chen Yu’s figure soared into the air.
"Slash—!"
He unleashed a strike from a distance, sending a blade of Qi more than ten meters long slicing toward the depths of the ruined factory.
BOOM!!!
The single strike sent shockwaves surging to the heavens. A thick cloud of dust enveloped the area as the abandoned factory completely collapsed.
From the collapsing factory, more than a dozen three-headed monsters emerged.
They were the size of oxen, each with three heads that glared with vicious eyes.
Full of brutality and bloodlust!
"ROAR!!"
The dozen or so Three-headed Dogs roared. They opened their mouths, and their three heads spat out torrents of water, fire, and wind!
The attacks arrived in an instant, but in Chen Yu’s eyes, these Level 3 and 4 Three-headed Dogs were clearly not worth his concern.
In a flash of movement, Chen Yu easily appeared before them, swinging his long saber, which was now empowered with Qi.
SCHLICK!
Flashes of the blade were followed by sprays of blood. The metallic scent of gore filled the air, blanketing the factory.
The dozen or so Three-headed Dogs fell, their bodies and heads separated.
Blood dripped from the tip of his long saber.
His points rose a little, and his Source of Life increased by a small amount as well.
After dealing with the dozen-odd Three-headed Dogs, Chen Yu activated his Force Field sense.
In the depths of the ruined city, he sensed the fluctuations of many powerful Mutant Beasts.
’Excellent. This cleanup should yield a decent amount.’
Gazing into the depths of the ruined city, Chen Yu’s figure flickered and vanished in the blink of an eye.
...
Time flowed like water, never to return.
More than four hours had passed since entering the Lola Mountain Anomaly.
The red sun in the sky was gradually setting.
On the point rankings, the first person to break ten thousand points had appeared.
It was, once again, Chen Yu.
The person in second place was hot on his heels with over nine thousand points, biting at Chen Yu’s lead.
The third-place score, however, was only a little over six thousand. It was Dongfang Ji!
Among the top three, only one was a student from Europe or America; the other spots were occupied by students from East Asia.
In the ruined city, atop a teetering skyscraper, Chen Yu’s figure appeared.
For nearly three hours, he had cleared out almost all the Mutant Beasts in this ruined city.
The total Source of Life he had harvested was also quite substantial.
Standing on the pinnacle of the skyscraper, Chen Yu looked at the red giant in the sky.
He had been in the Lola Mountain Anomaly for four hours, but the strongest Mutant Beast he had encountered was still only Level 5.
He hadn’t seen a single Level 6 Mutant Beast.
Chen Yu began to suspect whether there were even any Mutant Beasts above Level 5 in the Lola Mountain Anomaly.
He had killed quite a few Level 5 Mutant Beasts, but he hadn’t come across a single Level 6.
"Who’s there?"
Just as he was thinking about his next move, Chen Yu suddenly whipped his head around.
There was no one behind him, but within his Force Field sense, he detected a powerful wave of Life Fluctuations. At the same time, he also sensed the fluctuations of a Seed of Superpower.
Someone was hiding.
Chen Yu’s eyes scanned the area, locking onto a dilapidated structure on the skyscraper’s rooftop.
"Are you going to come out on your own, or do I have to make you?"
Chen Yu spoke, his gaze fixed on the ruined structure not far away.
"Quite perceptive, aren’t you? It seems I underestimated you."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out as a white-haired young man stepped out from behind the dilapidated structure.
’Hm? Dongfang Yi? What’s he doing here?’ Chen Yu was surprised to see the figure emerge from behind the structure.
"Senior Dongfang, what are you doing here?" Chen Yu asked.
Dongfang Yi looked at him with a nonchalant expression. "No reason. I was just bored, so I decided to take a stroll in the Abyss."
