Chapter 1679: Sacrifice Panel

"Kill me...!"

"Sa ah ah-- I!!"

"Ho!! Ho---!!"

The pleas for death grew fainter.

The Fifth Stage captive injected with the amoeba original solution was not only growing weaker, but even lacked the strength to wail.

Lin An also realized that the commotion he had caused was too great, so he simply used his mental power to wrap it up.

Looking at the Fifth Stage Awakened One, whose miserable cries were twisted, wrapped in his own mental shield.

Lin An subconsciously made some space in his solidified mental power to avoid touching the other's body.

It's hard to imagine that a superpowerhouse whose body is so strong that its voice alone could demolish a building would now, like an ordinary person, weaken at an astonishing speed, only able to painfully writhe on the ground.

His fingers had been gnawed clean by the faces growing on his own body.

His arms, trying to tear off his own flesh, were like shattered wafers, breaking apart segment by segment beside him.

The faces sprouting from every inch of his skin were as ferocious as poisonous snakes.

Eating from the inside out, from the outside in.

In just a few short seconds, this Fifth Stage was eaten down to nothing but a framework.

Originally sturdy, his body was now riddled with finger-sized holes, as if eaten by worms.

And under Lin An's gaze, even the tongues of this Fifth Stage's open mouth sprouted faces the size of coins.

The densely packed faces, as soon as they emerged, began to devour the oral cavity at a terrifying speed.

Crack—crack.

The dense chewing sounds of flesh and blood rang out, as if a hundred mouths were eating meat simultaneously.

In this Fifth Stage, suffering to the extreme, his mouth almost split open.

These faces, after devouring his upper jaw completely, quickly moved along the flesh holes, as if trying to ascend, burrowing into his brain to eat his brain matter.

Too disgusting...

Even though Lin An had seen too many extreme gruesome scenes.

But seeing the horror he himself had caused before his eyes, for a moment he was also quite shocked.

Lin An also didn't expect that the amoeba worms mixed with his blood could actually produce such an effect.

Of course Lin An could also realize that such a perverse infection effect was inseparable from the syringe in his hand.

Meme, virus.

Such an infected state is clearly the combined effect of meme and virus, perhaps also carrying something else, like a curse?

He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart.

Looking at the Fifth Stage before him, on the verge of death, Lin An suddenly realized something.

That was why Chu An had been so cautious when dealing with the amoeba original solution.

If this thing goes wrong, it will truly cause an unimaginable disaster.

Therefore, even given Chu An's personality, he wouldn't dare to experiment on Earth?

No more thinking about it.

After taking a deep breath, Lin An gripped the Cain's Blade tightly in his hand and pointed it directly at the Fifth Stage on the ground.

He no longer cared what exactly the thing he had created was.

Even if this thing is terrifying and perverse, as long as it gives him power, that's enough!

Without Hesitation.

Before the faces could burrow into the Fifth Stage's brain, Lin An instantly burst forth with tremendous power, striking down with a single sword!

Now sending him on his way also counts as giving this Fifth Stage a swift end!

Like a hot knife cutting into butter.

Unexpectedly to Lin An, he had thought it wouldn't be so easy to cleave the opponent's head.

However, perhaps because his body was almost eaten away, this sword of his required no effort at all and easily cleaved the pitted skull.

With only a puff sound, the head cleaved by the sword burst open like a pustule, exploding entirely within the shield.

A rich, bloody stench instantly spread.

Moreover, as the Cain's Blade sliced through those faces, they seemed to encounter their natural enemy, letting out a shrill scream that turned into a wisp of blood mist, which directly sank into the red blade.

But in the blink of an eye, these faces, along with the exploding corpse, turned to ashes and smoke.

Looking at the shield's interior, now empty except for a pile of debris and blood mist.

Lin An's expression froze, and he instantly realized that the sacrificial effect had already been triggered.

At the same time, the Cain's Blade in his hand seemed to come alive, jumping and heating up.

Unlike what he had guessed, he didn't need to do anything else.

Activating the sacrificial skill of the Cain's Blade seemed to require only killing the target.

"Ding, sacrificial effect activated successfully."

"You have killed a same-blood creature, power extraction successful!"

The system prompt came through simultaneously.

Hearing the system prompt sound in his ear, Lin An's heart jolted; before his eyes, a line of blood-colored numbers suddenly jumped.

Accompanied by a faint, intermittent sob, the next second the Cain's Blade in his hand glowed red, and a writhing ball of blood quickly coalesced in the demonic mouth at the hilt.

Same-blood... extraction succeeded!?

He had no mind to wonder what that eerie sob was.

Lin An's expression lit up, and his gaze instantly turned to the condensed blood ball.

He could feel it; within this ball of blood, a special power imbued with evil intent was beating like a heart, its strength so great that even the space around him trembled with it.

(How sweet... this blood!)

(Eat it!)

In an instant, an unknown voice suddenly sprang up in Lin An's mind.

Under the tempting whisper.

It seemed this ball of blood was not only full of power, but also incredibly delicious, making one crave to devour it from the depths of the soul.

He instinctively reached out to touch it.

Before Lin An could touch the blood ball, he suddenly snapped awake.

What voice!?

His will was so strong that after a brief lapse, Lin An suddenly realized that something had just affected him.

But that voice came and went quickly; before Lin An could focus his mental power in vigilance, that strange desire vanished instantly.

Indeed, there is a problem.

His arm stiffened in midair.

Lin An looked with a somewhat grim expression at the writhing blood mass on the sword hilt.

All these oddities indicate that Cain's Blade's sacrificial ability is probably not that simple; moreover, the sacrifice he made this way, compared to the original, has undergone some unknown change.

He hesitated only for a moment.

The current situation no longer allows him to hesitate.

After a brief silence, Lin An steeled himself and simply reached out to touch the blood mass.

This thing can make him stronger—there's no doubt about that!

"Bang!"

At the moment of contact.

Only see the constantly writhing blood mass, as if alive, explode before his eyes in an instant; in nearly 0.01 second, it returned like to its mother body, merging into every pore of his.

At the same time, before Lin An's whole body could shudder, he felt a bone‑deep pain throughout his body.

A cold system prompt sounded as well.

"Drip, absorbing blood power; please select the absorption effect!"
