Abyss Summoner-Chapter 84 - 82: Flame Demon Mutation

Chen Feng fell to the ground. The Thunderous Scorpion could have easily snapped his head off. But suddenly, his pupils turned a vibrant green, with four brilliant spots slowly swirling within.

In that moment, time seemed to pause around him.

In just an instant, the Thunderous Scorpion returned to normal.

It thrived on death and slaughter, and here, it reigned as the undisputed overlord. Any who dared step onto this land would become its food!

Nothing could alter the fate of this human’s death!

Gazing at the fallen Chen Feng, the Thunderous Scorpion opened its mouth, revealing four menacing fangs that exuded a foul stench.

It roared, its inner ferocity erupting, as it attempted to devour Chen Feng in one gulp. At this distance, no one could possibly evade!

"Sss sss..."

However, just as the Thunderous Scorpion was about to feast, a sudden tingling sensation spread across its back, and then a larva fell off.

This larva was only the size of a fist, but it bore a resemblance to the Thunderous Scorpion. These creatures, which once had a chance to become powerful, were mostly devoured by the female scorpion just now.

"Food."

The Thunderous Scorpion felt no pity in its eyes. As an insect, it had only the simplest instincts. The larvae, to it, were merely energy for its advancement. It lowered its head and bit through the larva’s body, relishing the burst of blood in its mouth.

"Sss sss..."

Before the Thunderous Scorpion could lift its head, two more larvae crawled down its back.

More survivors?

The Thunderous Scorpion tilted its head, a hint of suspicion crossing its eyes, but soon it swallowed the two larvae whole as well.

"Sss sss..."

At this point, a dozen more larvae fell from its back, finally causing the Thunderous Scorpion to panic. As the mother host, it distinctly remembered no larvae being left on its back. The emergence of a dozen was understandable, but now there were so many simultaneously, leaving it bewildered.

No!

Not just a dozen.

The very next second, a sharp pain cut through the Thunderous Scorpion’s back. Its spine suddenly split open, and a swarm of larvae crawled out, ten, twenty, up to more than a hundred emerged from inside, inheriting the female scorpion’s ferocity, they began tearing into the Thunderous Scorpion’s flesh right after birth.

Excruciating pain!

"Sss sss..."

The Thunderous Scorpion finally sensed something was amiss. It let out a roar, electricity flickering across its body, then began to violently thrash around. As before, the larvae fell off one by one.

No sooner had it caught its breath when the tingling sensation reappeared. Its spine split open again, as two hundred more larvae crawled out, like vengeful spirits, unkillable and eternal, resistant to any attempt to eliminate them.

The Thunderous Scorpion went berserk. Its focus had completely shifted away from Chen Feng. It roared, electricity coursing across its form repeatedly in an attempt to eradicate these larvae, but they regenerated over and over. After an unknown span of time, the ground was littered with the bodies of countless larvae.

So densely packed that there was hardly any place to step.

The Thunderous Scorpion was gasping for breath. No matter how it released its electric current or thrashed its body, these larvae clung to it like maggots in a corpse, impossible to shake off.

Its body was chewed beyond recognition, its spine completely hollowed out, and even an eye had been bitten through by several larvae.

Despair!

Now completely devoid of consciousness, the Thunderous Scorpion’s body had long been consumed by agony. Finally, its strength was completely exhausted, and it collapsed on the ground, as if it were a withered beast waiting for death to take it.

Miserable, despairing, the Thunderous Scorpion’s eyes were wide open, its remaining vision overwhelmed by countless larvae.

.........

Illusion Technique.

Meanwhile, in Chen Feng’s eyes, not a single larva was actually on the Thunderous Scorpion. Moments ago, it seemed to go insane, spinning in circles on the spot, the electric light on its body shooting off in every direction, even piercing through the ground to reveal the concrete beneath.

All-Seeing Eye.

By sacrificing the Butterfly of Myriad Forms and merging its flesh into his own eyes, Chen Feng had acquired its ability to create illusions.

Just now, Chen Feng had transported his opponent’s consciousness into a world entirely conjured by his imagination, a world whose time and properties he could entirely control—a few days passed internally could be but an instant in reality.

Those ensnared experience endless torment within this illusory realm, enough to cause a mental breakdown. Regardless of physical strength or agility, before the All-Seeing Eye, they were powerless, destined to fall into a stupor, becoming nothing more than senseless meat.

However.

This Pupil Technique also had significant side effects on the body.

Chen Feng’s left eye began to throb slightly, the green in his pupil tinged with bloodshot veins. Manifesting a miniature world with Spiritual Power also placed considerable strain on him.

No time to delay.

This was the optimal moment to strike!

Chen Feng stepped forward, gripping his sword tightly, and swung it fiercely toward the Thunderous Scorpion.

"Puchi!"

The sword of flames, its sharpness unknown, sliced through the Thunderous Scorpion’s body with ease, piercing straight through its Insect Armor. This incomparable pain jolted it back to consciousness.

But...

It was already too late!

Even if the Thunderous Scorpion awoke from its illusory prison, its Spiritual Power had already been shattered, leaving it unable to muster any defense!

"Die!"

Chen Feng tiptoed, his entire body launched forward, sword at the ready, slashing three times consecutively. Even the ground was left with scarred and battered marks, as though assailed by meteor fragments, a testament to utter ruin.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

Wounds appeared all over the Thunderous Scorpion, numbing and incapacitating. The once-invincible monster now seemed as feeble as livestock, ready for slaughter.

Chen Feng stepped forward once more, a cruel, inhumane gaze emerging from his profound eyes, filled with a murderous aura that could extinguish a world, annihilating all life.

"Sss sss..."

The Thunderous Scorpion let out a gut-wrenching bellow. It felt its life steadily ebbing away, overwhelming it with bitterness and reluctance. After striving so hard to get here, how could it be content to face such end?

Electric light flickered over its body once more, attempting a final counterattack.

"All your efforts are in vain. Embrace the end, become the sacrifice!"

Chen Feng roared, his sword of flames blazing even brighter as he swept it toward the Thunderous Scorpion. The air itself seemed torn by the ferocious power, striking down with earth-shattering might!

"Crunch!"

Everything happened too quickly; the Thunderous Scorpion ceased its roaring, still holding an attacking posture. Moments later, a fine crack snaked across its head, releasing a red fog, while its blood immediately evaporated...

Plop!

The corpse of the Thunderous Scorpion crashed to the ground. Suddenly, flames on Chen Feng’s body erupted violently, the mark left by the Blazing Demon on his chest growing as red as coal, while his eyes reflected scorching fire.

... Ascension!

Upon absorbing the blood of a formidable foe, Chen Feng’s Flame Demon essence underwent a transformation!
