Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1337 - 349: All Things Furnace, Blood Sacrifice of Solitary Might
From now on, there will be no weaknesses, and the Eternal can grow like any other living being.
This is the ultimate goal that the Evil Gu Insect Clan has pursued all their lives, to create a True God with infinite potential.
The origin of the name ’Eternal’ is the most cherished cry from the hearts of billions of creatures of the Evil Gu Insect Clan: Eternal existence.
Because the Evil Gu Insect Clan believes that there is no end to the path of ascension.
This is related to the development history of the Evil Gu Insect Clan.
Their starting point was too low, constantly battling monsters to level up and changing maps, only to find that there are so many enemies, it’s impossible to finish them all.
Therefore, they believe that only an Eternal existence is the real peak.
Writing up to this point, I still can’t understand why a whole race would sacrifice all its people to create an entirely new life.
Isn’t this something different from themselves?
It feels to me like the whole tribe acts as fuel to achieve the ascension of a stranger.
Although the consciousness of the Eternal is a fusion of all the tribe members’ consciousness, I still wonder if it can still be me?
The individual thoughts must have been diluted, right?
Can’t understand, can’t comprehend, but I respect it.
The interpretation of the current hot topic event is complete, if there are other questions you can leave a message in the post, brothers, class dismissed.
...
While heated discussions on this unfolded in the forum, on the other side.
A strong sense of hunger engulfed everything.
The Eternal, born from the Blood Stone Furnace, slowly opened its mouth, and suddenly the whole world dimmed.
As night descended, the radiance of all things rushed towards the slowly opening mouth like a hundred rivers converging into the sea.
In a short time, it devoured the Spiritual Energy within a hundred miles.
The mountains trembled, the world mourned, the essence of the world transformed into a golden long river across the sky, and it devoured it like sweet dew.
The grass and trees, radiated by power, withered instantly, stones turned to sand, and birds became shriveled shells before they even fell.
It devoured the Qi-Blood of all beings.
Strands of red blood interwove in the sky into a blood-colored net that covered the sun.
Finally, it was all refined in the mouth of the Eternal, becoming the first mouthful of Qi-Blood Energy absorbed by its body.
During this process, the strength of its body continually transformed.
As the bones grew, they emitted crisp sounds, then turned into roars.
Pure Qi-Blood Energy surged through the newly formed veins.
Every heartbeat resonated with the earth’s tremors, as if the entire world was becoming its appendage.
When the last strand of energy was completely devoured, it licked its lips with unfulfilled desire, casting its gaze on the lone surviving figure in the barren scene.
And that figure was Li Zheng.
Throughout the feeding process, it exerted pressure on the heavens and earth but deliberately avoided Li Zheng.
Li Zheng also gazed at the hovering Eternal, with a grave expression in his eyes.
[Eternal]:
Hunting Level: Demigod Realm.
Target Introduction: A new life forged from the remnants and flesh of billions of beings from the Evil Gu Insect Clan with the Blood Stone Rule as the foundation, possessing infinite growth potential.
...
He didn’t expect to witness the birth of a demigod during the Blind Leap Trial.
And the reason for its birth was due to himself.
At this moment, the gloriously golden figure of the Eternal suddenly appeared in front of him like a sun.
The dazzling divine radiance around it naturally subsided, and it opened its mouth to produce a golden crystal stone, handing it to him.
"What does this mean?" Li Zheng was dumbfounded.
"Like-kind." The Eternal nodded solemnly, a look of expectation in its eyes, seemingly hoping he would accept it.
Li Zheng looked down at the golden crystal stone, initiating Decomposition.
[Life Essence.]
Item Introduction: Part of the Life Essence extracted by the Eternal after devouring all things.
Sacrificial Emperor Zhao: 182839 sacrificial power points.
...
Though puzzled, Li Zheng decisively accepted the golden crystal stone.
It’s foolish not to profit.
Upon seeing this, the Eternal nodded in satisfaction, then its figure once again disappeared in a flash.
This left Li Zheng even more confounded.
Faced with confusion, he turned to Brother Guide beside him:
"Brother Guide, what’s going on?"
[As the Eternal said, it sees you as a like-kind because it was nurtured with you as a reference, with your marks etched throughout its life structure, including the aura that fused in the boiling furnace, all originating from you. So even though it knows you are not its creator, the information in its memory can prove you were merely a captured life-form by its tribe members, yet it still naturally considers you a like-kind.]
Upon hearing Brother Guide’s explanation, Li Zheng nodded in realization.
Looking around, the area had long turned into wasteland.
He could only choose to change hunting locations to continue the unfinished Blind Leap Trial.
With Gang Qi released, he navigated through scorched earth and scattered rocks.
In just a few days, Li Zheng’s tracks covered the desolate plains and Rift Valleys.
His hunting trajectory resembled a chaotic red line, winding across the desolate land.
In the morning in the Rift Valley, he engaged with a Rock Ridge Beast armored in scales, using the most violent method to kill it.
In the midday sandstorm, he tracked a flock of Shadow Swift Birds with wing spans, launching a fierce attack amidst the fiercest part of the sandstorm, sweeping the birds into a Gang Qi vortex, killing them.
As dusk fell, he ventured into an accidentally discovered underground cave, battling an Evil Beast that spewed acid, fighting until the cave collapsed and climbing out over the remnants after the Monster was extracted.
During these days, the shadow of the Eternal always lingered like a silent silhouette in the distant sky or behind the clouds.
With golden eyes, it silently watched his struggles with prey.
Occasionally, in moments of peril, a faint Qi-Blood fluctuation would inadvertently scatter, yet it never intervened, merely observing him with curiosity.
It seemed to be studying his behavior.
