Chapter 499

A powerful and terrifying seventh-transformation Abnormal Beast charged over; Xiao Ran, without a word, deployed his Accumulation Beast Armor!

After so many trials, it should work!

Xiao Ran took a deep breath; to say he wasn't afraid of facing a seventh-transformation Abnormal Beast would be impossible, yet even a grazing touch could be fatal.

Therefore, Xiao Ran's goal was merely to block the beast's advance.

In an instant, accompanied by the Six Void Turbidity Wheel, the Clear-Turbidity Sword and other natal Accumulation Devices flying out from his dantian, the components split apart and assembled on Xiao Ran into a humanoid armor over five meters tall!

Full of mechanical texture and somewhat resembling a humanoid puppet, this is Xiao Ran's Human-God Armor!

Open!

However, Xiao Ran deploying the armor was not to rely on its combat power to fight the Abnormal Beast, but to mobilize his magic, his Dao Marks continually intertwining in wondrous arrangements in his palm.

Then, a murky clarity-indistinguishable chaos appeared in his palm.

Heaven and Earth in Chaos!

With a boom, the chaos in Xiao Ran's palm erupted violently, dragging him and the Abnormal Beast into a black-and-white intertwined world.

Here, the seventh-transformation Abnormal Beast also seemed affected—clearly it should have been advancing to meet again, yet it retreated violently, while Xiao Ran's armor kept heating up, as if using such a divine ability made his body hard to bear!

Indeed! Without the armor's protection, I would have died the instant I was pulled in." Xiao Ran, sweat pouring down his forehead, continuously poured magic to maintain the divine ability, no matter how the seventh-transformation Abnormal Beast displayed its might, it could not be broken!

Not bad, quite a fine divine ability! It uses the purest clear qi and the most turbid turbid qi to construct this ability, taking your own Dao Mark's Dao Mark as foundation, clear and turbid indistinguishable; even if the enemy's strength far exceeds yours, they will be drawn in—what a topsy-turvy Heaven and Earth!" The old thing's voice came, laughing.

If we wear down this Abnormal Beast's power, we can withdraw the divine ability and escape." Xiao Ran said happily.

However, this divine ability has a deadly flaw: your body cannot withstand such a clear-turbid chaotic world; even if you are an Etherial Body and have the Six Void Turbidity Wheel, it's hard to resist. Moreover... this divine ability is not invincible.

Xiao Ran frowned, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Roar!

That seventh-transformation Abnormal Beast let out a roar and instantly vanished from its spot!

Space shifting?!

Exactly, your strength is still insufficient to disturb space.

Boom!

Xiao Ran sensed something wrong, immediately flickered back a hundred meters; suddenly the vanished seventh-transformation Abnormal Beast appeared at the spot where Xiao Ran had just been, stomping down hard and kicking up clouds of dust!

Xiao Ran gave a helpless laugh: 'I was just being fanciful, hoping a single divine ability could repel the enemy—that's not very realistic.'

Only then did the battle truly begin.

Meanwhile, Ling Yan and Wu Qian, having fled far away, after jointly repelling some invading Abnormal Beasts along the way, stopped to mutually guard each other and restore their magic.

Wu Qian looked worriedly toward the rear: 'Brother Xiao, you really won't come to any harm, will you?'

He's far more resilient than you think." Ling Yan smiled, looking at Wu Qian: "As for you, Brother Wu, though we've only known each other for two months, you truly are like our elder brother.

Wu Qian felt embarrassed: 'It's my fault.'

No, no, I'm not blaming you for being overly familiar; it's just that after so long in the cultivation world, I've rarely seen someone like you, Brother Wu.

Wu Qian chuckled: 'We're all cultivators; we should help each other. If not for cultivation, who'd want to spend all day fighting and killing?'

Ling Yan nodded.

Speaking of which, when I first entered the cultivation world, I realized the path of cultivation was far from as wonderful as I imagined. Every day it's either scheming over a few Spiritual Stones or engaging in intrigue with others.

Ling Yan simply couldn't tolerate the sect's atmosphere any longer, so she chose to leave. Moreover, hearing that her ancestors were still alive, she wanted to find them to resolve her bloodline issues.

Seeing no immediate danger nearby, Wu Qian said: 'Let's wait here a while, so Brother Xiao won't lose us when he returns.'

Better yet, we should hurry on; even if we slow a bit, his great strength will surely catch up.

Wu Qian nodded and rose: 'That works; let's keep going.'

Ling Yan and Wu Qian continued on the road, though without a clear destination, they mainly aimed to stay far from this place; it appears near the Immortal Array is already considered the central region of the Abnormal Zone, with endless Abnormal Beasts making one weary to cope.

After a while.

After Wu Qian and Ling Yan disposed of an Abnormal Beast, they looked around.

What a heavy blood aura!" Ling Yan frowned, a red light flashing in her eyes as she gazed toward the direction the blood aura was coming from.

That.... is the Abnormal Tide!!

Although few in the outside world have actually witnessed the Abnormal Tide, most cultivators have heard how terrifying the tide caused by Abnormal Beasts can be.

The reason is that the Abnormal Mist rises, causing more and more Abnormal Beasts, forming a tide like a beast surge. The danger lies not only in the Abnormal Beasts but also in the omnipresent Abnormal Mist; without means to resist the Mutant Force, falling into the Abnormal Mist easily turns one into an Abnormal Beast.

How come the Abnormal Mist over there is so vast?" Ling Yan wondered.

Could it be that fellow cultivators have gathered there, thus triggering such a large-scale Abnormal Tide?" Wu Qian's eyes lit up.

Ling Yan thought for a moment, then nodded.

Although many places in the Abnormal Zone see the Abnormal Mist rise, such a massive scale of Abnormal Mist is still unprecedented; it can only be that a large number of cultivators have gathered in one spot, drawing nearby Abnormal Beasts to swarm and besiege them.

Let's go over and see what's happening; if possible, joining forces with the group is our only chance to survive." Ling Yan said.

Good.

The two didn't think much; the Abnormal Zone is inherently perilous, and an extra person means extra strength. For cultivators, dealing with mindless Abnormal Beasts isn't hard; the key is that when a horde surrounds you, it becomes troublesome, leaving no time to recover strength.

Thus, even if gathering together triggers an Abnormal Tide, it's still better than a few individuals fighting alone.

The two quickened their pace; along the way, emerging Abnormal Beasts blocked them briefly, and only after half a day did they reach the place where the Abnormal Tide had previously occurred.

But as soon as they arrived, the sight before them caused both of their faces to change dramatically.

This.... who did this?

As far as the eye could see, nothing but Abnormal Beast corpses. These dead Abnormal Beasts, seemingly not fully dead due to the rising Abnormal Mist, had masses of flesh tissue begin to link together, forming new Abnormal Beasts—this is the most terrifying aspect of the Abnormal Tide.

You can't kill all the Abnormal Beasts; when lacking comparable scale, it's possible that after slaughtering them, the corpses, due to the Abnormal Mist, will form an even more terrifying Abnormal Beast!

First, dispose of these corpses so they don't continue to mutate!" Wu Qian's face was stern.

Ling Yan also had no objection; instead, she was curious how many people had been on that battlefield ahead, capable of killing so many Abnormal Beasts.
