Chapter 1588: Bloodthirsty Demon Seal! It

"Mechanical race......"

After calming Vera, Xu Jingming's gaze swept across, his heart tightening slightly.

Although these mechanical lives remained silent, the energy fluctuations they emitted were the most stable.

Like countless exquisitely precise killing machines.

Finally—

"Sssss......"

A chilling, fine hissing came from the right side.

Everyone turned to look, seeing that the void there had somehow become a dark, insect-nest domain.

The insect race elites floated within it.

Most retained their insect forms, with grotesque carapaces and cold, compound eyes.

Their sizes ranged from several kilometers to tens of thousands of meters.

Yet among them, over a dozen beings resembled human forms.

And without exception, they all resembled human females.

Some even possessed alluring, seductive appearances and postures that rivaled the most beautiful human women.

"The insect race has arrived too." Xu Jingming felt excited.

The insect race excels at swarm tactics—one individual is an entire army!

Thus, in this race, males hold extremely low status.

The vast majority of insect race elites are female.

Of course, that was not why he was excited.

It was because the insect race could endlessly produce insect warriors!

'Does this mean that if I capture one insect queen, I can endlessly harvest source points?'

During this time on the Outland Battlefield,

Xu Jingming had never encountered a single insect queen, so he had no chance to test it.

But now, the opportunity had arrived.

"Still, aside from the Mechanical race—

The Beast race, Demon race, and Insect race......

Why do their forms resemble humans so much?"

Xu Jingming was puzzled.

Looking around, the silver-haired, antlered man of the Beast race, the demons among the Demon race with bat-like wings and curved horns on their heads—

Even the insect beings who had taken human form—

Aside from extra horns, wings, or scales, their overall shapes were seven or eight tenths similar to humans!

"Because our human form is the optimal solution for cosmic life forms."

Hearing Xu Jingming's confusion, Lin Qianxue smiled faintly, her crisp voice carrying a hint of pride:

"The Demon race needs no explanation—their natural form is already similar to ours.

As for the Beast race—"

Her gaze swept over the silver-haired, antlered man:

"The Beast race's true forms vary wildly, but the vast majority rely solely on physical combat.

Their limbs are stiff, their attack methods singular, dependent only on claws and fangs.

This is a complete waste of the opportunity to wield weapons.

Therefore, Beast race elites all cultivate secret arts to transform into human form.

In this way, they retain their race's powerful physiques while gaining human flexibility and weapon-handling ability.

Even the royal bloodline of the Beast race can transform into human form from birth."

Xu Jingming understood.

Indeed, the ferocious beasts on Blue Star, though thick-skinned and tough-bodied,

had singular attack methods, far less flexible and varied than humans.

"The same applies to the Insect race."

Lin Qianxue continued: "High-tier Insect race have all mastered shape-shifting.

After transforming into human form, their control over energy and comprehension of cosmic laws greatly improve.

As for the Mechanical race......"

She looked toward the varied metallic lives:

"Their most crucial element is the intelligence core.

Their external forms can change freely based on equipment or mission needs, with no fixed shape.

That's why you see them so bizarre—every possible form imaginable."

"I see." Xu Jingming fully understood.

The human form was, in fact, a standard template for cosmic life evolution!

And just then—

"Hum!"

The Nine-Sword Dominator swept his sleeve, and over two hundred beams of light shot toward each human warlord.

Xu Jingming raised his hand and caught one—it was a translucent information crystal.

"These contain data on each race's members. Memorize them thoroughly."

If you encounter an unstoppable opponent in the realm, flee immediately.

The voice of the Nine Swords Dominator echoed in the hearts of everyone present.

Xu Jingming sank his awareness inward, and a vast torrent of data surged into his mind!

As a supreme being of the universe, it took barely an instant.

Xu Jingming had already scanned all the information and filtered out those opponents who threatened him.

There were as many as ten!

Among them was the demon race that had provoked Vera's fury.

That woman's name was Lin Yin, belonging to the demon race's Illusion Demon clan.

According to the data, she was suspected of possessing Nascent Soul Stage Three power.

In addition, the antlered demon from the beast race, as well as the insect race and the mechanical race.

All had corresponding strongholds suspected of possessing Nascent Soul Stage Three power—or even greater.

"The universe is vast; clearly, I am not the only one with extraordinary combat power."

Xu Jingming felt a pang of awe in his heart.

Meanwhile, in the demon race's camp.

The tall demon, over three meters high, with a cold and detached expression—Lin Yin—suddenly furrowed her brow.

"My lady, what's wrong?"

A nearby demon guard whispered.

Lin Yin did not answer immediately; her violet eyes narrowed slightly.

Her gaze, like solid matter, swept toward the human camp, as if sensing something.

After several seconds.

"The scent of the Bloodthirsty Demon Seal..."

Her crimson lips parted, her voice icy with a hint of killing intent:

"It's over in the human camp."

As her words fell, she stirred her will!

"Hum—!!!"

In the human camp, Xu Jingming's body suddenly erupted with dense demonic energy!

Purple-black demonic energy shot skyward, violently coalescing above his head!

In an instant, it formed a bizarre demon seal over a kilometer in diameter!

The seal took the shape of a six-pointed star, its edges entwined with countless twisted demon runes.

At its center hovered a grotesque phantom demon head, mouth wide open in a silent roar!

"What is this?!"

"It's the Bloodthirsty Demon Seal! A curse unique to the demon race's bloodline!"

"I've heard that only after slaughtering too many demons does this seal form. I only knew it as legend—I never thought it truly existed."

"Gah, how many demons did Xu Jingming kill to summon such a mark?"

"..."

Murmurs erupted; countless eyes fixed upon him.

Even the Nine Swords Dominator cast a glance, his expression one of surprise.

"Vera, what's going on?"

Xu Jingming frowned and asked inwardly.

"It's that bitch's descendant from the Illusion Demon clan!"

Inside his consciousness, the succubus little girl Vera nearly leapt up:

"It's true that killing too many demons can summon the Bloodthirsty Demon Seal.

But this seal can only be triggered by ancient demons.

That bitch's descendant somehow managed to regress and awaken ancient demon bloodline?!

How the hell did she get such luck?!"

"Will this Bloodthirsty Demon Seal last forever?"

Xu Jingming frowned.

If he entered the realm with such a massive mark visible, there'd be no point in playing at all.

Others could detect him from hundreds of kilometers away.

"No, once triggered, the Bloodthirsty Demon Seal only lasts a short while.

But that bitch's descendant can transmit this sensing to other demons.

So once you enter the realm, you'll face endless pursuit from the demon race!"

Vera shook her head.

Pursuit?

Xu Jingming froze, then smiled.

This was good news!

He wouldn't need to seek them out—they'd come to him on their own.
