Apocalypse Circular-Chapter 400: This Power is Known as... Sequence

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: This Power is Known as... Sequence

What would you do when your partner tells you not to look back?

Actually, most people’s first reaction is to subconsciously turn around.

That’s right, Yang Di did just that!

She turned around.

Upon turning, she was confronted with a very pale, yet somewhat handsome face.

It was Xin Yi, or to be precise, Xin Yi’s corpse.

Yang Di was stunned, and before she could make a sound, the other person had already kissed her lips!

MMM!

Yang Di’s pupils dilated instantly as the strength within her body was being rapidly drained away.

This power was too outrageous, far surpassing her own level by a huge margin.

She was feeling scared, so she wanted to call for Lu Luo’s help.

But the situation on Lu Luo’s side was ten times more outrageous than hers.

Is this woman a dumbass? She turns around even though I told her not to; she’s attracted so many Specter Species, it’s freaking disgusting!

Lu Luo didn’t care about the Observer’s cursing, but the surrounding Specter Species were indeed quite disgusting.

His hands, legs, and body were entangled by dozens of Specter Species.

All these Specter Species were semi-Soul Bodies, partly physical and partly Soul Body.

"Die!"

Qi He on Lu Luo’s body began to activate, and the steam that erupted instantly slaughtered all the Exotic Species around him.

But even so, the vengeful spirits were still incessantly throwing themselves at him.

There were too many, and Lu Luo’s speed of killing could barely keep up with the rate at which the vengeful spirits appeared.

He grabbed Yang Di, who was still being forcibly kissed by the Specter Species next to him.

He pulled Xin Yi off her, saving Yang Di.

Yang Di’s face had already turned completely purple, her vitality partly drained away, and at this moment, she was in a particularly dazed state.

"Uh, Lu Luo, I feel a little... dizzy! Oh, lack of oxygen!"

"We can’t stay here any longer. Let’s go."

"I can’t move."

"Alright, forget it."

Domain!

Lu Luo distinctly felt that this place was a Domain, and this house had likely become the Domain of some Lord-level entity.

A Domain constructed entirely from Dark Corroded material would have an extremely aberrant amplification effect on Dark Energy.

Lu Luo was confident in his combat abilities.

But Yang Di was a different case; if he let go and fought with the Lord here, Yang Di would undoubtedly die.

Lu Luo didn’t want to gain the reputation of letting his partner get killed on the very first day of teaming up with someone.

So, he should try his best to save her if possible.

Lu Luo picked up Yang Di and delivered a karate chop to her forehead.

Yang Di’s nosebleed splattered, and she looked at Lu Luo in despair.

"If you wanted to knock me out, why didn’t you hit my neck? This will disfigure my face..."

Lu Luo was silent for a moment.

"Hitting the neck could be fatal."

"Fine."

Yang Di passed out, concussed and with excessive blood loss, indeed knocked out by Lu Luo’s forceful strike.

Lu Luo glanced at Li Wenge, who was lying on the ground and still not dead. After a moment of hesitation, he still picked up the girl.

When did you start becoming such a nice guy?

Lu Luo didn’t say anything as about a dozen Specters appeared beside him again, only to be torn apart by the circling tentacles.

With his speed, a few large strides were enough to reach the perimeter of the villa.

Once outside the villa’s fence, Lu Luo tapped the ground with one hand.

BANG!

A Second Tier Green Armor appeared in front of him.

"Take these two people away."

The Green Armor moved its pincers, then roughly lifted the two women, placing them behind it somewhat crudely, and started moving quickly toward the distance.

Meanwhile, Lu Luo turned his head to look at the villa, his lips curling up slightly!

"This Exotic Species is actually this strong; quite interesting."

After arriving in Imperial territory, Lu Luo had not seen a Lord-level Exotic Species again.

The Exotic Species in front of him was not only Lord-level in strength, but its Domain power was also extremely potent.

This piqued Lu Luo’s interest, who had been calm for quite a while.

"How many more are needed for Pride of the Lords?"

Three.

"Then today we can probably add another one."

Lu Luo put away his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and collar.

Steam began to spread around him, quickly enveloping the entire Half-Mountain Villa.

The shadowy power within the mist even began to entangle with the steam released by Lu Luo, trying to resist and disperse it, but to no avail.

Lu Luo squinted his eyes slightly, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes!

"Found it."

His figure instantly disappeared; with the speed of steam at the fifth gear, Lu Luo shot forward like a cannonball.

BANG!

As Lu Luo charged straight towards the villa, the wide-open doors suddenly closed.

The other side seemed to have sensed Lu Luo’s threat.

"Although I really don’t like spending money on replacing doors, it looks like there’s no choice now."

The heavy iron door was kicked open by Lu Luo’s foot. He brought his hands together and then fiercely clapped.

BOOM!

A massive outburst of steam erupted like a tornado.

The Specters littering the path were blown away haphazardly by Lu Luo, ending up scattered across the ground. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Lu Luo stepped through the doorway, crushing the leading Specter into powder with one foot, then headed straight for the ceiling.

As he neared the ceiling, the creature entangled around the chandelier finally moved.

Delicate white muslin, an elegant long dress, and intertwined blades of ice and flame.

And the lady of all this, with a body like a skeleton!

Sixth Tier Lord, the Knocker - The Dancer on the Chandelier.

Flames, frost, and the wedding dress.

The aberration had turned its feet into hooves.

THUD THUD THUD!

That was the sound of the dancer’s hind hooves striking the ground.

The blades flashed. A Slash Strike flew in. Fierce flames and frost exploded upon Lu Luo’s palm, leaving a very deep mark.

Lu Luo blew the ash from his palm, the steam pressure increased once more, and his figure had already reached the dancer.

BOOM!

Fist and twin blades collided; the intertwining of Dark Energy and Qi He was palpable.

The dancer had not anticipated Lu Luo to be so powerful. This was strength humanity should not possess.

As the dancer tried to block Lu Luo and use Specters to create distance, Lu Luo still had the leisure to speak:

"Hey, not bad!"

The dancer paused, bewildered.

THUMP!

Lu Luo’s sweeping kick had already struck the dancer’s waist.

The long dress and wedding gown offered no defense at this moment. The dancer’s withered body and exposed bones were shattered by Lu Luo’s kick.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

After crashing through a dozen or so walls, the dancer fell heavily to the ground.

Lu Luo’s figure, like a monster in the darkness, appeared beside the dancer as soon as she hit the ground, as if a shadow itself.

He grabbed the dancer’s skull with one hand, lifting up this Sixth Tier formidable Exotic Species.

Intentional Outburst Punch!

BOOM!

Bones scattered like exploding sand, falling everywhere.

Lu Luo pulled off the dancer’s skull with one hand, then stomped it to pieces with his foot!

The Sixth Tier Exotic Species was defeated by Lu Luo almost in an instant.

But it was not over yet.

The villa was still shaking. Lu Luo, standing in the center of the room, frowned slightly.

Frost and flame hung suspended in the air. The surrounding ashes began to reconverge.

Guided by the twin blades of ice and fire, the bone powder that had been shattered into sand began to reform.

The wedding dress flew in, draping over this layer of ash.

The dancer’s silhouette emerged once again.

Resurrected from death!

This made Lu Luo somewhat impatient.

"It’s past 5 o’clock, I’m in a hurry!"

Should I completely destroy this place?

Lu Luo hesitated slightly. He was quite fond of the Half-Mountain Villa, which seemed perfect as his early-stage development base.

His original plan was to eliminate all the Exotic Species here.

Then, like he did with the Circular Base, buy it at a very low price, owning it with lawful rights and documentation.

Lu Luo had already decided that he couldn’t play the role of a bandit within Imperial territory.

It was best to do everything legally for suitable long-term development.

So, if it wasn’t necessary to destroy it, he wouldn’t; a villa constructed entirely of Dark Corroded material was quite valuable.

But if he was unable to deal with the Exotic Species here, that would be troublesome!

"Forget it. Although it will cause quite a stir, I still want to preserve this place."

SMACK!

Lu Luo clasped his hands together, and the color of his steam-infused Qi He gradually turned red.

The Sequence Force, following Lu Luo’s fog, infiltrated every corner of the estate.

Countless tentacles burst forth from the earth, wrapping tightly around the entire estate.

Through the sensations from the Devourer’s tentacles, Lu Luo felt the villa struggling, a sign of emergent sentience.

However, Lu Luo had no intention of leaving this sentience intact. Things that didn’t belong to him or obey him were naturally to be eradicated.

More and more tentacles appeared. The Devourer’s power swallowed up all surrounding energy.

The villa, along with the dancer inside, grew increasingly weak.

When a tentacle firmly grasped the dancer, an eye appeared in the sky, overlooking the earth.

"I, the Eye that Sees Through Everything, behold all the filth of this world.

The Demon of a Thousand Eyes, Eyestalk!"

Red beams of light descended from the sky, erasing all will and life within the estate under the glare of the Eyestalk.

「」

In the GuiXi District government office, a group of people stared blankly in the direction of Dong’an City.

After their astonishment, these GuiXi District Imperial elites began to discuss this explosive power.

"Such formidable strength! Could this be another being with control over rules?"

"What exactly are these rules?" another asked.

"They are like abilities with an inherent order; when arranged in a specific way, they produce extraordinary power."

"How can one possibly obtain control over these rules?"

"No idea. Such power has always been concealed within the hands of the Imperial Family. How could commoners possibly have access to it?"

"Indeed. Possessing the power of rules and lacking it leads to vastly different outcomes in battle. The Imperial Family, by tightly controlling this power, will always enjoy an unbeatable position. The stronger one is, the greater the disparity due to rules. For high-level Transcendent beings, this gap can even affect combat strength by several multiples," said a particularly distinguished Transcendent, his face grave.

The others listened and found it even more incredible.

"Several multiples? Doesn’t that mean Transcendants can fight across different tiers?"

"It’s more than just fighting across tiers..."

"Is... is the power of rules really that outrageous?"

"Yes. And moreover, they don’t call it the power of rules, but another name."

"What is it?"

"Sequence!"

「」

Lu Luo, holding the dancer’s wedding dress and dual blades, slowly walked out of the villa.

To think the Pride of the Lords could actually grant two items? How exhilarating is that?

Or perhaps, the dancer herself was a fusion of two Lord-tier Exotic Species.

One was the dual blades of ice and fire; the other, her wedding dress.

Yang Di woke up in a daze, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Looking at the villa behind her, she felt it seemed somewhat different.

"Lu Luo? It seems a bit brighter here than before."

"Yes, the sun has come out."

"So, what about us?"

"Let’s go," Lu Luo said calmly.

Yang Di fell silent again. When Lu Luo said "Let’s go," did it mean that the creature inside had been dealt with?

If even the Green-Eyed Spider Demon was not the ultimate creature here, then just how strong was the thing ruling this place?

And what about Lu Luo?

"I feel like I’m just an errand girl, completely useless, when I’m with you."

Did she only realize this fact now?

Lu Luo touched his nose.

"That’s not true. Everyone has their role to play."

"Lu Luo, I got full marks in psychology."

"What do you mean?"

"That subconscious nose-touching action means you’re lying."

"Uh! And then?"

"I’m indeed worthless... sigh."

Yang Di felt somewhat sad. Why couldn’t she just put in the effort to cultivate? Was it really that difficult to diligently cultivate?

I must cultivate well when I get back home this evening!

Yang Di looked at Lu Luo. The day’s journey had made her develop quite a lot of fondness for him.

Strong, young, and handsome—such a partner was truly a blessing from heaven.

"Where are we headed now?"

"First, we need to take this woman to the Security Office, and then report this case. With so many people dead at once, it definitely needs to be reported."

Yang Di nodded, and together with Lu Luo, they brought Li Wenge down the mountain.

Sometimes life is full of such coincidences—the taxi they hailed happened to be the same one they had taken on the way up.

"Yo, young man, quite the coincidence, huh?"

"Indeed, very coincidental."

"How was it? Is your adventure over? Did you see any ghosts?"

"We did."

"Uh... you did?"

"We’re going to the Security Office now. We need to report a case."

"Alright then!"

After arriving at the Security Office, Lu Luo handed over the still-unconscious Li Wenge to the guards there.

His arrival quickly caught the attention of the Security Office.

Zhang Ji, who had dealt with Lu Luo before, hurriedly entered the interrogation room where Lu Luo was.

Upon arriving, he very enthusiastically shook Lu Luo’s hands.

"Mr. Lu Luo, you’re here!"

"Hello, Inspector Zhang Ji."

Yang Di, standing beside them, felt curious. Did Lu Luo know the inspector? Inspectors should be at the Third Tier.

She hadn’t realized that Lu Luo had such significant influence.

Zhang Ji promptly sent his colleagues away, leaving only Lu Luo and Yang Di.

He had solved the previous burial case using the method Lu Luo had taught him. However, afterward, he got entangled in a new case: the mass death case in Kui’an Complex, with a total of thirty-nine victims.

It was a very unusual major case.

Moreover, while investigating this case, he encountered a very special Transcendent.

Zhang Ji checked many records but found no mention of this type of Transcendent.

Just then, he thought of Lu Luo, this knowledgeable, powerful young man.

And now Lu Luo had just turned up at the Security Office.

This undoubtedly saved Zhang Ji a great deal of time and effort.

"Mr. Lu Luo, I want to ask you something."

"Hmm, go ahead."

"Is it possible for a Transcendent to create elemental abilities like frost without any energy fluctuations?"

Create elements without energy? Lu Luo thought. Isn’t that... a Sequence?
