Killing Ding Shen would allow him to extract one ability from his body.

Originally, Chen Ye had been quite covetous of Ding Shen's defensive energy shield and the black armor.

But seeing that this black armor couldn't even withstand a single gunshot,

Chen Ye gave up on that idea. Now, Chen Ye was instead very interested in the Blood Moon Dharma Form on Ding Shen's body.

Only right now...

Even if Chen Ye had the desire, he was afraid he lacked the strength.

If there was no way to leave this place, everyone would die here.

The entire Oasis was surrounded by high walls.

If it were an ordinary day, such high walls might be troublesome for ordinary people.

But for Superhumans, it basically posed no difficulty.

However, those endlessly emerging Anomalies around them were not wooden stakes.

It was basically impossible for Superhumans to leave without any disturbance.

Just a moment ago, he saw a Superhuman relying on his own ability, trying to pass through this high wall.

But just a moment of distraction,

and two Wooden Figures reached out with hand blades from the darkness.

Chen Ye ignored Ding Shen's words, stood up, and pulled a cigarette from his trouser pocket.

No choice, even though he was the Blood Moon Lord, the abilities of his first two Sequence levels were still primarily cigarette-based.

The flame illuminated Chen Ye's sharply defined face.

Can't escape!

This was something he hadn't considered before.

If it were before, he would have long ago abandoned everyone and left this damn place alone.

It seems, he had truly changed.

For Chu Che, for Sun Xixi, and also for Iron Lion and the others...

He had actually stayed with them until now!!!

Chen Ye gripped Hatred in his hand. This machete seemed to have absorbed enough grudge energy, its blade trembling slightly now.

Like a gambler about to face a new world.

Unlocking Hatred's third form required extremely stringent conditions.

Extremely stringent conditions?

Probably referred to this kind of utterly hopeless death trap.

Chen Ye used Hatred's blade to lightly cut the skin on the pads of his index and middle fingers.

Crimson blood appeared at his fingertips.

Chen Ye lightly smeared the blood across his brow with the two fingers.

Then smeared it across Hatred's blade.

Two identical bright red blood marks appeared on the blade and between Chen Ye's brows.

Like adding a steel seal connecting the two.

Perhaps because of the blood marks, Hatred seemed even more excited.

Like a dog that had been cooped up all day, finally about to go for a walk.

Chen Ye didn't know why he was doing this.

But he just instinctively smeared his own blood on Hatred's blade and his own forehead.

Not far from Chen Ye.

The constantly approaching Tangled Crowd was frantically closing in.

Everywhere it passed was sucked into it.

Its size was expanding wildly.

Seeing Chen Ye, the Tangled Crowd was clearly even more excited.

"I remember you, we met in Xining before, you escaped back then..."

"This time you won't!"

"Won't..."

Three sentences spoken in three different voices.

Chen Ye didn't respond to the Tangled Crowd's words, just slowly murmured under his breath.

"Blood as covenant, pain as medium. This body offers hatred, this blade bears sin..."

"All become your food, all become your strength!"

"Crack the shell! Pour in awareness! Devour together!..."

"Awaken!~~~" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The moment the last two words burst from Chen Ye's mouth.

This originally short machete, in an instant, was like a bursting floodgate.

A powerful pressure directly shocked the charging Tangled Crowd into stunned silence.

This energy was like...

Like inadvertently tearing open a decree sealed for a thousand years.

Powerful...

Indescribable...

An energy that devoured all light, a black, unredeemable energy.

Gushed forth from the junction between Hatred's blade and hilt.

That black energy erupted from Hatred's blade, extremely unstable, seeming to want to frantically devour everything around.

But due to some special rule, this energy was pulled back again.

Thus, the entire energy's edge appeared as constantly fluctuating jagged teeth.

The originally few dozen centimeter blade now became over five meters long.

Not only that, but mournful figures constantly appeared swirling around Hatred's blade.

Painful wails accompanied it intermittently in his ears.

As if all those who had died by this blade were bound by it, unable to find peace.

An extremely evil and obsessive soul was rapidly growing.

Chen Ye could feel it very clearly.

Hatred... had a spirit!!!

"Giggle giggle..."

"Hehehe..."

"Hahahaha..."

"Finally, finally it's my turn, finally my turn..."

"I'm out, I'm out!"

"Kill, kill, hurry up, let me kill to my heart's content!"

"I'm impatient, I'm very impatient!"

A fragmented voice, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sounded in Chen Ye's ear.

One moment like thunder, the next like a mosquito whispering in his ear.

"And that Bastard Sword, that Bastard Sword..."

"Hurry up, let it know this grandpa's power!"

Someone once said, "Wonders have spirits!"

He had always treated that phrase as an empty expression.

He never expected Hatred to truly have its own spirit.

Only, this guy gave Chen Ye the feeling more of a combat-obsessed maniac.

Right at this moment, before Chen Ye could react.

He heard Hatred's arrogant, sinister laughter ring in his ear.

Chen Ye felt his wrist being moved by Hatred.

His right hand unconsciously made a backward stabbing motion without turning his head.

Feeling the sensation of the blade cutting into something.

Chen Ye knew without looking back.

This must be a Wooden Figure's sneak attack.

A handful of black ash, the completely destroyed wood, flew with inertia from behind Chen Ye and landed at his feet.

Not only that.

Chen Ye also heard an outrageously arrogant voice in his ear.

"Come on, come on, you trash..."

"Come on, let this grandpa show you what a true genius is!"

"Come on, not enough!"

Whether it was Hatred's provocation taking effect or some other reason.

The moment Chen Ye released Hatred.

It seemed everyone fighting in the entire Oasis couldn't help but divert some attention to look this way.

Chu Che was slightly startled, then immediately dragged Ding Shen's body to hide behind Chen Ye.

A Wooden Figure originally hiding in the shadows was preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Chu Che.

But for some reason, it stiffly turned its head to look in Chen Ye's direction.

Iron Lion was being besieged by three unknown Superhuman Pseudo-humans.

Iron Lion had never seen these Pseudo-humans before, but the three had coordinated abilities.

At this moment, the exceptionally fast Pseudo-human among them paused, its intended attack halting in place.

Its head twisted one hundred eighty degrees, looking toward Chen Ye.

Seeming to hesitate a bit, this Pseudo-human turned and disappeared on the spot, heading straight for Chen Ye.

The Pink-haired Girl used her Fire Dragon Sword to force back two Anomalies of unknown form.

In an instant, these two Anomalies swayed, then actually turned and ran.

No!

Not running!

They were charging straight at Chen Ye.

These two unknown Anomalies changed their attack target.

The Pink-haired Girl was stunned for a full second without reacting.

And so.

Simultaneously with Chen Ye releasing Hatred.

Not all Anomalies, perhaps.

But at least all Anomalies had a reaction.

Even that frantically recovering Malformed Giant seemed intent on moving toward Chen Ye.

Only the Tangled Crowd, that most cunning creature, watched Chen Ye with wary suspicion.

And that black long blade that even it found troublesome.

Chen Ye stood there, his feet not moving an inch.

That over-five-meter energy blade directly formed a dense web of blades in front of and behind Chen Ye.

Countless dark figures wanted to approach Chen Ye but simply couldn't.

At this moment, Chen Ye was like a top-tier swordsman from a martial arts novel.

No matter what Anomaly tried to approach, it was met with a head-on slash.

Lightly grazed by the black energy blade edge.

The target wasn't cut in two, but turned entirely into charred powder.

Those indescribable Anomaly figures were like waves in the darkness.

And the hard reef, previously Ding Shen, had now become Chen Ye.

He could even hear an utterly maniacal voice in his ear.

"Come on, come on... let this grandpa show you what a true genius is! What a true treasure is!"

"Bastard Sword, you come too, this grandpa will chop you in half today! Burn you to ash and poke you!"

"You trash..."

"That's right, this grandpa means... all of you... all of you..."

Chen Ye wasn't feeling good right now.

Because he realized a side effect of Hatred.

"Taunt!"

This was probably a side effect that came with Hatred's third form.

It was taunting everyone, including those Anomalies.
