Chapter 744: The Times Have Changed

"Everyone, attack! Kill him! He is only one person!"

More than ten days have passed since the great rain of Spirit Qi, and ancient monsters everywhere in the world have awakened one after another.

Just as Shen Yu perceived, after this great rain of Spirit Qi, the growth of Spirit Qi seems to have reached its end.

Under the nourishment of the dense Spirit Qi, the hidden ancient monsters are not waking up one by one, but in droves.

Every person who wakes up immediately hunts any living creature they see, wanting to restore themselves as quickly as possible.

However, not long after they began hunting, they discovered that a young man would appear and block their path.

At first, all the ancient monsters did not care.

Young people do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, always thinking they can save the World and turn the tide when all seems lost. They think they can do what others cannot, and accomplish what others cannot handle.

Just because one was praised as a genius since childhood, do they really think they are a genius?

In their view, people who come with such grand ambitions to save the world are actually just extra meals for them.

If they deliver themselves to the door, it would be a waste not to eat them.

But as it turned out, just when the ancient monsters bared their fangs and prepared for a feast,

they did not expect this little lamb to instantly transform into a fierce tiger, turning around and devouring them instead.

When one or two were killed, the ancient monsters had not yet reacted, but once the number grew, someone naturally found out.

These ancient monsters each had their own methods, and they quickly sensed the sudden changes.

They never dreamed that someone would be hunting them; when did this world become so unfamiliar to them?

The most critical thing was that they could not stop him!

Although they did not trust each other and would even stab each other in the back if possible,

driven by the desire to seek advantages and avoid harm, these awakened ancient monsters united into various groups.

While their consciousness had not yet completely faded, they planned to kill this impudent young man together; as for who would gain the most benefits, that would depend on their own abilities.

But the result was the scene before them: those who charged in front were killed one by one.

They, these long-renowned experts, these ancient monsters who had stood at the peak for thousands of years, were being hunted like chickens and sheep.

Even when they united, and even when they used their final trump cards, it was like moths flying into a flame.

In hearts that had long since lacked emotion, a sense of fear and panic unexpectedly welled up.

"Kill!"

On the wilderness, a young and upright figure walked forward quietly, while opposite him were over a dozen old men, some with white hair and others with hunched figures.

Every person's body radiated a terrifying aura that seemed capable of tearing through clouds and severing time and space.

The dense killing intent intertwined and shot straight into the clouds; dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a torrential rain immediately poured down.

Yet, these raindrops could not land on them, as they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

The raindrops fell to the ground, washing away the blood-red color and submerging the scattered remains on the ground into the rainwater.

As the young man walked forward, the dozen or so old men could not help but retreat involuntarily.

This was not just fear; it was more of an instinctive reaction.

These ancient monsters each had their own methods and learned of the changes in the outside world the moment they awakened, so the first thing they did after waking was to unite.

Yet, they did not expect that while there is strength in numbers, it also makes the target much larger.

After such small groups appeared, Shen Yu's Compass quickly pointed toward them.

After Shen Yu arrived, a great battle was immediately on the verge of breaking out; this luxurious lineup composed of over twenty ancient monsters

would be synonymous with invincibility no matter where it was placed, yet it was slaughtered and broken through in a single encounter.

The young man before them was too brutal, even more brutal than they, the ancient monsters, were.

With just one look, they could be certain that this young man would not let them go.

Therefore, after the first clash, the remaining dozen or so people all used desperate fighting styles.

For a time, blood energy surged and killing intent permeated the air, and the momentum of everyone present increased several times over.

The surrounding space began to vibrate under this aura, and ripples expanded continuously with every move these people made.

In this battle, they would either win or die; they could not afford the slightest hesitation.

Perhaps stimulated by their desperate secret techniques, the eyes of the dozen or so ancient monsters began to burn, suppressing their initial unease.

They could be certain that the young man before them was definitely no older than thirty; he was a true young man, absolutely a unique Heavenly Pride of this era.

As long as they killed this young man and devoured everything about him, they would inevitably gain immense benefits.

"Overestimating your capabilities!" Watching the ancient monsters charge up, Shen Yu's mouth curled slightly; he appeared very relaxed at this moment.

If it were before, facing so many people, he might have had to retreat.

But today is different from the past; after such a long period of hunting, the rewards he obtained from checking in have allowed his strength to reach a higher level.

Plus, with the Record of the Floating World in hand, the energy that erupts the moment these people die after being killed is absorbed by the Record of the Floating World.

As long as he completes the obsessions of these people, he can fully claim this power as his own, turning it into nourishment to benefit himself.

Although the obsessions of most people, such as wanting immortality or wanting to be the best in the world, are impossible to complete, the remaining small portion are quite easy.

Combining the two, in just a few days, Shen Yu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

The Mountain and River Map in his hand has also undergone several modifications, and its power is no longer what it used to be.

Never mind these dozen or so ancient monsters before him; even if a dozen more came, they would only be serving themselves up as a meal.

Facing the charge of these people, Shen Yu threw the Mountain and River Map in his hand toward the distance, and it directly transformed into ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, enveloping these dozen or so people.

Realizing the danger, these dozen or so ancient monsters tried to stop the Mountain and River Map from descending, but they discovered they could not break this restraint at all and could only watch helplessly as they were locked inside.

And once they were truly enveloped by the Mountain and River Map, they were directly frozen in place.

Never mind resisting; even moving an inch was a problem, and they were each like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

How could it be like this? How could there be such a terrifying thing in the world?

Before they could even react, a sharp sword that tore through the firmament appeared from the void, sweeping directly across the mountains and rivers.

The dozen or so of them didn't even have time to unleash a single move before their consciousnesses simply dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

Before they died, only one thought echoed in their minds: the era has changed; this is no longer their era!

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Star Soul Stone!"

The Star Soul Stone can strengthen the soul and augment Mental Power. As long as it is worn on the body, one will not be disturbed by any mental force.

No matter how blurred one's consciousness or how confused one's mind becomes, by utilizing the Star Soul Stone to draw upon the power of ten thousand stars, one can be pulled back from a state of bewilderment and illusion.

"It is indeed a good thing!"

Wearing the Star Soul Stone on his body, while it could not greatly increase his strength, would allow him to have no worries behind him. Now, he no longer had to worry about being backstabbed by others.

He opened the "Floating World Record" in his hand to look at the obsessions of these old monsters.

These obsessions were strange and varied, but fortunately, there were still some he could fulfill.

Looking again at the old monsters who had nearly turned into nothingness, Shen Yu could not help but sigh; traveling a thousand miles just to deliver their heads, they were truly good people.
