Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 626: The Mutation of the Black Humanoid Monster!

Chapter 626: Chapter 626: The Mutation of the Black Humanoid Monster!

RUMBLE!

The earth quaked and the mountains shook, as if some colossal creature was about to emerge from beneath the ground.

WHUM... WHUM... The surrounding space also grew unstable, beginning to vibrate intensely.

Originally, the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus was flying towards the young Life and Death Realm disciples. At this moment, however, it spun out of control and floated in other directions.

"What’s happening?"

"It seems like some monster is about to emerge from underground..."

The Shenluo Tian disciples were all aghast. Those at the Life and Death Realm, positioned lowest, were especially horrified. They felt a terrifying aura about to erupt from deep underground.

GLUG! GLUG!

The water in the Blood Pool churned violently. Countless strands of dense black hair filled the entire pool, growing wildly towards the sky.

These black hairs split into two groups.

One group rushed towards the Life and Death Realm disciples.

The other group, moving even faster, shot straight for the other Shenluo Tian disciples high in the sky.

"This aura..."

The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. He could actually feel the powerful aura of the Ten Layers of Life and Death Realm.

If this monster underground is at the Ten Layers of Life and Death Realm, then we’ll have no chance.

"Run!"

At this thought, a cold sweat drenched the middle-aged man, and he immediately issued the order to retreat.

He transformed into a streak of light, instantly soaring towards the distant sky.

The other disciples also scrambled to flee.

However, aside from the middle-aged man—whose high cultivation base allowed him to escape first at great speed—none of the Shenluo Tian disciples in mid-air managed to get away.

WHOOSH!

The black hair grew wildly, like a black tide, and in the blink of an eye, it overwhelmed them.

BOOM! BOOM!

Everyone screamed in terror, desperately attacking the black hair. But at this moment, the black hair seemed to have been enhanced somehow and couldn’t be broken.

Meanwhile, the Life and Death Realm disciples below were in even graver peril.

A few moments passed.

They were all bound by the black hair. As strands of black hair pierced their bodies, their blood drained rapidly, and their forms became increasingly shriveled.

"AH!"

Accompanied by several faint screams, they all turned into desiccated corpses, completely devoid of life.

After absorbing these individuals, the black hair suddenly whipped around, tossing their bodies aside.

BOOM!

The Blood Pool suddenly exploded.

A humanoid monster, covered in long black hair, rose from the surging, bloody water and ascended into the air.

"AWOOOO..."

The black-haired humanoid monster let out a strange roar.

At this moment, the long hair on its body retracted. When the prolonged roar ceased, the hair had shortened to just over a foot in length.

Now, the black-haired humanoid monster hovered motionlessly in mid-air. It seemed to have its eyes closed, still savoring the bloody feast it had just consumed.

CRACK! CRACK!

The sound of bones shattering suddenly came from behind the black-haired humanoid monster’s shoulders.

"URGH..." It let out a low, pained groan.

From behind its shoulders, two gashes tore open, and two black spear-like appendages slowly emerged from the gory wounds.

"Wow, what’s this monster doing? This is intense!" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, watching from afar, couldn’t help but exclaim.

It, too, was somewhat shocked. What are these two large black spear-like things growing out of this strange, black-haired fellow’s back?

"Is it some kind of weapon?" the Big Black Horse mused.

"It doesn’t look like a weapon. It seems more like arms that have grown out..." the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon concluded after a moment of observation.

Elsewhere, the Big Black Cat, who had been intently watching the third Formation in mid-air, also caught a glimpse of the terrifying scene unfolding in the distant valley.

"Whoa! What in the blazes is that? It looks terrifying, and its cultivation base is so high—it’s already reached the Ten Layers of Life and Death Realm!" The Big Black Cat’s eyes widened as it voiced its shock.

If this were before, I’d have been scared out of my wits. But now, my patrons are nearby, so I have nothing to fear.

The Big Black Cat refocused its attention on the third Formation, preparing to capture the Sky-boring Rat.

"Master, it looks like that person is undergoing some kind of beastly transformation..." Mu Qing whispered, gazing into the distance.

"Mm," Ye Yun nodded lightly.

That humanoid monster actually died long ago. It’s just that a peculiar energy within its body transformed it into a special kind of creature. Now, after absorbing the blood of those Shenluo Tian disciples, its internal energy has been replenished, triggering this beast-like transformation.

Ye Yun was quite interested but didn’t rush to intervene.

CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...

Accompanied by the sound of splitting bones, the two black spear-like appendages grew longer and longer, forming bent joints in the middle. Within moments, the chillingly sharp black appendages were fully formed.

"HISS! Those look like spider legs!" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon exclaimed.

"Heh heh, they really do! Like two long spider legs!" the Big Black Horse chuckled, its lips twitching.

"Could it be that this fellow was bitten by a spider and then mutated?" the Immortal Divine Silkworm said with a laugh.

"It’s possible! Who knows what kind of spider it was for its venom to be so potent..." the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon remarked.

Listening to the demon beasts’ chatter, Ye Yun couldn’t help but smile.

Isn’t this a straightforward version of Spider-Man? A pity this Spider-Man is far too horrifying. If it were put on the silver screen, that body covered in black hair, capable of extending for many miles, would probably scare many viewers to death.

The cracking sounds ceased.

The creature covered in black hair had finally completed some form of metamorphosis.

"AWOOOO!"

It roared towards the sky again, shaking the surrounding mountains.

"This fellow’s roar is truly awful!" the Big Black Cat, in the distance, grimaced and muttered with distaste.

Suddenly, its expression changed. The third layer of the Formation it had laid had finally been breached by the Sky-boring Rat.

"Sky-boring Rat! You Coward! Now that you’ve been marked by the urine your Old Cat here sprinkled, let’s see how you plan to escape?!" The Big Black Cat burst into laughter.

It swiftly activated its Teleportation Boots, transforming into a streak of black light and darting off in a specific direction.

Reaching the airspace above a certain mountain range, it plummeted straight down, deep into the earth, intercepting the fleeing Sky-boring Rat.

"Coward, where do you think you’re going?!" the Big Black Cat roared furiously, raising the Black Shield and smashing it down with all its might.

This time, it didn’t hold back. After all, the Sky-boring Rat had consumed that red pill, and its strength had likely surged for a short period. Without using more force, it would be difficult to detain this cunning fellow.

"What? How could the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat possibly know my direction in advance?" The Sky-boring Rat’s expression turned to shock. In its haste, it retrieved a deep blue shield and held it aloft.

This deep blue shield was speckled with star-like points, resembling a profound night sky and exuding an ancient, profound aura. It was clearly no ordinary item.

Just then, an incredibly fierce black light rushed towards it.

BOOM!

The Black Shield and the deep blue shield collided.

A powerful shockwave radiated outwards from the point of impact.

The earth beneath them instantly exploded. The mountaintop directly above where they were located was violently blasted into the air.

"What is that thing? It can actually match my scales?" The Big Black Horse’s eyes widened as it stared in disbelief at the deep blue shield in the Sky-boring Rat’s grasp.
