One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 624 - 496: What Kind of Matching Mechanism Is This!_2

One could clearly see that the light around Su Heng was continuously twisted, cut, and shattered. At times, it even appeared speckled with dawn mist-like glittering light. Yet, no matter how hard they tried, Su Heng's pitch-black and terrifying body stood like a nightmare, completely unaffected from beginning to end. Even a full-force strike from Ji Zifeng merely left a faint white mark on him.

Boom!

The ground under Ji Zifeng's feet bulged, spewing out magma.

In the nick of time, she fiercely lunged forward, as a temple behind her was submerged in the melting lava.

She felt no relief for her reaction, as Su Heng's voice followed closely behind, ringing in her ears, "Game over."

Crack!

As the voice fell.

A terrifying suction force came in an instant.

Su Heng had activated a portion of the power of the "All Things Return to One" Dao Path.

Everything around was being pulled in; fierce winds howled and those massive buildings were uprooted and suspended mid-air. The dense clouds above rolled like serpents, and with intense friction between the clouds, continuous thunderous booms resounded, the whole world flashing with a blinding silver-white brilliance.

Her flowing hair and the cloak on her armor fluttered wildly, the latter being torn into pieces with a ripping sound.

Broken stones and dust pattered against her, making a crackling noise.

Ji Zifeng struggled with all her might against the sucking force, but to no avail. With the world spinning around her, her body uncontrollably soared through the air.

She opened her mouth to let out a miserable scream, which stopped abruptly in the next moment.

Bang!

Su Heng stepped forward.

A punch from the sky landed solidly on Ji Zifeng's body.

With a "thud," a clear blood-red ring exploded between the two, and the exaggerated power like that of a wild dragon instantly pierced through Ji Zifeng's entire body. In an instant, her skeleton broke apart, her internal organs turned into bloody mush as if thrown into a grinder. Her body accelerated instantly, rubbing violently against the air, and fell from the sky at a speed hundreds to thousands of times faster than before, like a plummeting meteor.

Boom!

With another tremor of the ground, everything was declared over.

Su Heng moved forward, his body shrinking with crackling noises, as plumes of thick smoke rose, his figure gradually becoming smaller.

In a moment, he reverted to his previous height of just over three meters, walking through the ruins of the streets and finally stopping in front of a smoking meteor crater.

Ji Zifeng's entire body was scorched, essentially just a human form left, looking very tragic. However, she was still breathing; Su Heng had not used his full strength, and her physical quality was also quite remarkable, her life force extremely tenacious. Besides, there seemed to be some will sustaining her.

"It seems you still have something to say," said Su Heng, his voice calm, coming from the edge of the crater.

Ji Zifeng collapsed to the ground, her crushed chest like a broken bellows fluctuating with her rapid breathing. Then she started laughing, "Hahaha..."

As she laughed, she began to cough, but she didn't care. On the contrary, she seemed to have let go of some great burden, tears of black and red rolling down from her eyes, "I never thought that at this point, a monster like you would still emerge. Cough cough, indeed, heaven never seals off all exits. Perhaps with you, there might actually be a glimmer of hope."

"There's one thing I don't understand," Su Heng inquired, "You killed your own kinsmen, who forced you to this point?"

"Hunter..."

Ji Zifeng's voice was drifting, increasingly weaker, "The extinction of a powerful race is enough to resonate in the realm of immortals. Now the Star Sea Federation is already history, and the once mighty Human Race is left with only a few tribes fleeing into exile. Those mighty ancient races, the Powers of Destruction in the realm of immortals... they all want a share of this dying whale."

"So that's how it is." Su Heng nodded, his face showing a look of understanding.

He remembered that when he killed the last Demon Descendant in this world, he indeed felt the gaze of the Original Blood River.

And from the limited information he had, humanity was far more glorious than the Demon Descendants at their peak. He might have been untouchable at his strongest, but now he was on the brink of death, like a bleeding whale in the deep sea. Those predators who smelled blood would spare no expense to take a bite.

It seems their situation here is indeed not optimistic.

Su Heng thought of that powerful Leviathan King Worm, which he had originally thought was a coincidence.

Now with Ji Zifeng revealing this information, looking back, there seem to be other factors involved in this matter.

"So, you must not die, you must hold on, and make it to the very end," Ji Zifeng's voice was as gentle as a murmur in a dream. She turned her head slightly and struggled to form a grin toward Su Heng.

Despite being ugly and somewhat disgusting due to the exposed muscle from her shattered teeth.

It was indeed a smile filled with a blessing.

Su Heng nodded and responded with a smile, "This is my territory, if they dare to come, I will kill and devour them all."

Ji Zifeng seemed to want to say something else, but the last bit of her life force had dissipated. She tilted her head back, her body went limp on the ground, two streams of black blood flowed out from her nostrils, and her body had no more signs of breath. Su Heng felt a touch of emotion, and with a snap of two fingers, a black flame burst out and landed on Ji Zifeng's body.

The flame ignited with a "woof," followed by the aroma of roasting meat, and the fire blazed fiercely.

Rising black smoke, in just a few breaths, Ji Zifeng completely vanished without a trace.

Su Heng instinctively looked up.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the dark clouds in the distant sky disperse.

Then a crimson light soared into the sky, and there seemed to be a faint tremor on the ground.

The massive Brass Throne appeared once again before Su Heng, and a ray of light burst forth from the back of the chair, flying towards Su Heng.

Su Heng thought for a moment, extended some of his spiritual power outward, transmuting into an invisible large hand, and lightly blocked it with the grace of picking a flower or pinching a leaf. The light was immediately caught by him. Like holding a piece of extremely soft silk, Su Heng stretched out his hand in the air, and the crimson light wrapped around his sturdy knuckles.

In that instant of contact.

Su Heng could feel a strong craving sensation coming from within his body.

From the information obtained from Ji Zifeng, this ball of light is the so-called Blood River Authority.

Although he could feel that this thing could enhance his cultivation, Su Heng chose not to merge with it rashly. On one hand, his current strength is already extremely formidable, and even with the enhancement of a portion of the Blood River Authority, it would at most only enrich his own means. There would definitely be an increase in martial prowess, but it wouldn't amount to a qualitative change.

On the other hand, previously the Original Blood River was able to pull him into this battlefield without him noticing at all.

Its power level is undoubtedly terrifying, and it's better to remain on guard in front of such an entity.

Losing the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds is something that one simply cannot afford to do.

However, these powers should not be wasted either.

"Tss!"

Su Heng clenched his five fingers, and drips of Active Metal from within his body dropped down.

As Su Heng's spiritual power was infused into them, the Active Metal instantly surpassed a critical point, changing from inert to active state.

Their form was reshaped, forming a spike-covered circular Scepter, and then integrated with the power of the Original Blood River, thus a terrifying looking weapon was forged. Su Heng held it in his hand, forcefully waving it through the air twice, and streaks of white wind swept across the decimated streets, howling loudly.

"Quite handy," Su Heng's face showed a satisfied expression.

Being used for combat was secondary, the key was that Su Heng noticed some of the functions of the Blood River Authority.

These included blessings, flesh mutations, killing intent, as well as summoning war weapons and Demon Servant from the heaven of immortality. The further one walks on the Path of Destruction, the higher the corresponding Authority.

As for the specific effects, further experimentation would be needed.

Su Heng thought of Jialuo and Kulika, locked up in the cell, and a rather interesting idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
