Today's big update, asking for monthly tickets, asking for subscriptions!!!! ...
Ye Chen’s face was a mask of murderous intent, his blood-soaked robes fluttering, making him look like an unparalleled Asura. He glared at the first few monsters charging towards him, let out a sneer, tilted his neck slightly, and moved his limbs slightly, quickly adapting to the terrifying power amplification of his Superhuman state.
In a flash, he shot forward. Whoosh!
A whistling sound cut through the air, and the dark clouds seemed to be stirred by Ye Chen's figure, churning in his wake. Everyone felt that Ye Chen, who had been standing on the corpse of the Demon Bird leader, had suddenly vanished.
After a stunned moment, they saw the body of a Red-Eyed Bull, one of the first to charge, suddenly rupture, its head seemingly blown apart as its body crashed to the ground! Immediately after, the seven or eight monsters nearby, all around level 500, had their heads explode almost simultaneously, collapsing to the ground before they could even scream!
The battlefield, which had been roaring with countless monsters, instantly fell into a profound silence! The explosive, heaven-rending roars seemed to be seized by an invisible, massive hand and abruptly cut off.
Then, people saw a black-haired man standing atop a bull's corpse, his eyes sharp, like a monument erected there. Behind him lay the corpse of the colossal Demon Bird, and behind that, the towering, majestic city wall.
The strong wind whipped his blood-soaked black hair across his face, lending him an air of unrivaled, world-dominating might—a lone guardian against ten thousand foes! Everyone stared at the monster corpses that Ye Chen had annihilated in the blink of an eye, their gazes filled with shock.
They hadn't even seen how he struck; this speed was simply too terrifying! And the facts proved it: Ye Chen indeed possessed two Superhuman modes!
Many scientific professors and experts who had firmly asserted that one person could only awaken one Superhuman gene were stunned, as if they had suddenly witnessed one plus one equal three. In the city, those watching Ye Chen with worry and anxiety opened their mouths wide, dumbfounded, only for their eyes to immediately blaze with fervent ecstasy.
A thunderous cheer erupted, sweeping across the entire city and echoing onto the battlefield! "Guild Master!
Mighty!!" "Guild Master! Mighty!!!" Everyone's frantic shouts were mixed with tears of joy.
If the base city had fallen, they would all have become monster fodder. When they first saw the densely packed army, they felt the sky had lost its light and the earth turned dark, but now, they saw hope again—true hope!
On the streets, people, whether they knew each other or not, cheered loudly and embraced, shouting at the top of their lungs, many weeping with excitement. On the city wall, Xu Tianguo and the others were overjoyed, exchanging glances, knowing their hope had significantly increased.
If Ye Chen could slay a few more powerful monsters, the remaining ones could still be annihilated by the cannons on the city wall. Behind the monster horde, leaders like the Venom-Striped Leopard and the Rending Crimson Tiger were all greatly shocked, fear flashing in their eyes.
The figures that had been eagerly charging forward immediately halted. "How is this possible?
Wasn't his surge period over?" "Why is there another one!!" The great monsters' eyes widened with dread, and without a second thought, they hastily retreated, unwilling to get close. The Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon at the rear narrowed its eyes, a savage glint flickering within them, yet it wasn't foolish enough to charge.
Instead, it slowly moved backward, preparing to wait out the initial storm, planning to strike only after these monsters had tied Ye Chen down. Ye Chen coldly smiled, his eyes cruel and pitiless, as he stared at the few massive monsters towering over the smoke-filled battlefield.
In a sudden burst, he shot forward. The sound of the rushing wind was loud, like a shark swimming against the current.
In the Lightning Superhuman Mode, he could execute the fifth stage of the Heavenly Soaring Movement technique! Movement technique dictates speed; some techniques can negate up to 90% of air resistance, allowing one to move as if submerged in water.
Whoosh! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! ...
The instant Ye Chen vanished, explosions erupted throughout the monster horde like firecrackers. Everyone turned their heads in astonishment at maximum speed, only to find dozens of monsters between levels 200 and 300 already lying dead in the ranks, their heads exploded, their bodies twitching motionlessly.
Instant kill! No, near-instantaneous kill!
In less than a second, Ye Chen had slain dozens of powerful monsters. Such speed was simply unbelievable!
In Lightning Superhuman Mode, Ye Chen's speed skyrocketed. His leg muscle tissues were altered, and his nervous system compressed, causing what seemed like one second to others to stretch into ten minutes in his perception.
All surrounding monsters appeared like stone statues, standing still. Even the powerful monsters that moved seemed to be in slow motion—they were mere fish laid out before him, and he was the butcher's knife!
Kill! Kill!
Kill! Ye Chen’s figure moved like the wind, darting through the horde.
Countless monsters didn't even have time to react to dodge; their retinas couldn't even capture his image before their heads were struck and burst! That's right; Ye Chen used no weapon whatsoever, relying entirely on brute force—his body was the finest weapon!
His Lightning Superhuman Mode, upon awakening, reached the second stage, which was one of the reasons the awakening process took so long. This wasn't due to the Lightning Beast gene being special, but due to its inherent structure!
A body's genetic makeup is like a vessel; once it reaches the capacity for Superhuman Stage Two, adding any other gene will result in that gene awakening at Stage Two as well! Simply put, if any single gene awakens to Superhuman Stage Three, all other genes will also unleash Stage Three power.
Lightning Superhuman Stage Two: Speed amplified 100 times; Physical Strength increased 100 times; Nervous System increased 100 times! Vision increased 100 times, Hearing increased 100 times!
The speed Ye Chen was currently exerting reached the level of 17,000, and his physical strength was the same. Super speed combined with super-hardened physicality made him akin to a bullet!
Whoosh! Ye Chen moved, blasting forward in a straight line.
Thwack! Thwack!
Thwack! Thwack!
... Every monster directly in his path was blasted into dust, their bodies pierced.
Some had their hearts ruptured, others their heads exploded, instantly creating a cloud of bloody mist, carving a crimson line through the dense ranks! Scarlet.
Blinding! In three seconds, nearly ten thousand monsters were massacred!
Everyone watching held their breath, their throats seemingly constricted, speechless with awe. Too savage!
If the prior Ant Superhuman mode was monstrous and terrifying, the combat power displayed now was nothing short of demonic! Ye Chen was like the scythe of a gracefully dancing Death God, reaping lives as easily as mowing grass.
He charged straight through, reaching the Venom-Striped Leopard and the other powerful monster leaders at the rear of the horde. The Venom-Striped Leopard shrieked, its face a mask of terror.
Seeing Ye Chen, his blood-matted black hair flying, his face smeared with gore, and his eyes fiercely sharp as he advanced, treading over countless monster corpses and wading through blood, it couldn't help but tremble. It immediately turned tail and fled!
The rest of the monsters were completely terrified, shrieking and scattering in all directions. They completely disregarded the Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon’s commands; surviving the immediate threat was paramount.
"None of you will escape!" Ye Chen snarled, suddenly charging towards the Venom-Striped Leopard! Whoosh!
The Venom-Striped Leopard sensed a terrifying whistle approaching. Before it could even turn its head, it was slammed, and its body shattered!
Pfft! A level 1,500 monster perished on the spot!
Then, the blood-soaked man didn't pause. With a thirsting gaze fixed on the remaining monsters, he abruptly changed direction and bolted toward them.
The terrified monsters shrieked and fled, but as soon as they lifted their feet... Bang!
Bang! Bang!
... The heads of seven or eight monsters exploded.
Another, a Ground Scale Beast—rhino-like with scales covering its entire body—had its skull smashed, its body thrown high into the air before crashing down heavily into the monster ranks! Ye Chen, drenched in blood, found slaughtering these thousand-plus level monsters as easy as dispatching dogs.
Even he felt a flicker of surprise at how terrifying the Lightning Beast gene was; the amplification was simply monstrous, nearly double that of the Ant Superhuman mode! If he had known this earlier, activating both genes simultaneously might have allowed him to slaughter all the monsters in just one minute.
However, to keep a contingency plan, Ye Chen hadn't done so. After all, Superhuman time was limited, and activating them separately meant effectively doubling his time for slaughtering.
Moreover, he only knew the Lightning Beast gene was powerful beforehand, but he hadn't expected it to be this terrifying! In less than five seconds, Ye Chen had slain all seven or eight powerful monster leaders.
Their terrifying might made hearts tremble; let alone opposing him, even having the courage to stand before him seemed impossible! The Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon, which was preparing to retreat, had its pupils contract.
It was too fast; even its vision couldn't track such speed. It hesitated no longer, suddenly rising up.
Its massive, mountain-like body surged upward, and it swiftly changed direction, galloping frantically into the distance! The other intelligent monsters were greatly astonished.
Seeing the tide turn, they realized the situation was dire and scattered in different directions. In the sky, besides the Demon Bird leader, there were many minor leaders.
Seeing the Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon flee, anger flared in their eyes, but they dared not charge it to settle accounts. They could only cast a sorrowful glance at the corpse of the Demon Bird leader below before flapping their wings and fleeing into the distance.
Ye Chen turned his head and glanced at the "slowly" retreating Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon but didn't immediately pursue. Instead, he lunged into the tens of thousands of monsters, slaughtering at an incredible pace.
In mere seconds, he killed over a thousand minor monster leaders, their corpses piling up like mountains against the bleak wind and the grand, somber clouds. After eliminating these minor leaders, Ye Chen looked towards the Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon several kilometers away, let out a cold laugh, and shot forward.
His figure moved like a perfectly straight line drawn across a map. In about two seconds, he caught up to the Flood Dragon, his form flickering as he appeared right before it!
The Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon’s eyes narrowed. Its body halted abruptly.
It stared at Ye Chen with fury; Ye Chen catching up despite starting later proved that the hope of escape was slim. In terms of speed, it was far inferior to the ant before it.
It let out a roar and struck out a claw. Ye Chen sneered but didn't meet the blow head-on.
His raw strength couldn't match the level 2,000 to 3,000 strength of the Purple-Scaled Flood Dragon. He instantly moved, retreating rapidly, instantly creating a gap of several kilometers.
Then, he lightly tapped the ground with his foot, his body halting abruptly—like a javelin—before exploding forward again! ...
