Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

This was the first time the extraordinary beings had ever seen such a fantastical creature.

They appear in large groups.

The little devils had ferocious faces, and each one was only about one meter tall.

He looked extremely thin.

But those narrow eyes gleamed with a green light.

A large group of little devils, in a mighty and unstoppable manner, like a tidal wave.

Looking around, it seems like an endless swarm of rats.

"What are all these things?"

"A large group of fantasy creatures?"

"Don't they not travel in groups?"

He watched as the vast horde of little devils surged toward him.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.

Countless attacks of fire, storms, frost, and flying swords.

It poured down on these little devils on a large scale.

But when their attacks landed on these little devils...

What happened made them feel strange and frightened.

These little devils actually ate all their attacks as if they were food.

A little imp excitedly grabbed a fireball and stuffed it directly into its mouth.

Other imps snatched some icicles that had fallen to the ground.

They all stuffed it into their mouths.

They looked like a group of starving refugees.

They simply treated the attacks of the superhumans as food.

They had never encountered such a bizarre situation before.

However, the situations of three people at the scene were completely different.

Anderson, as the only fifth-order transcendent being, goes without saying.

Wielding the holy sword Durandal, he directly manipulated the sword to unleash his full power against these hordes of imps.

It's like some kind of lawnmower game.

These brats were no match for the flying swords controlled by Anderson.

The other two were Xia Yanwu, who wielded the Bright Silver Spear.

He was formerly the president of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association.

In China, he is now among the top ten extraordinary beings.

Xia Yanwu was originally a Xiantian martial artist, possessing unique advantages.

Others drink the gene serum first, and then choose their promotion path.

People like Xia Yanwu, on the other hand, had a path to advancement before taking the gene serum.

This is completely the opposite.

In fact, there are many similar situations in other countries.

They were all people who possessed extraordinary powers before the beginning of the Extraordinary Era.

The advantage is that they are stronger than ordinary people.

Ordinary people can become superhumans after drinking gene-enhancing drugs.

However, many people can only stop here, and other promotion paths are not available to everyone.

These are people who had already mastered extraordinary powers before the Extraordinary Era.

They are born with an advantage over ordinary people.

After they drink the gene serum, they will be stronger than ordinary people.

The vast majority of powerful superhumans today possessed a superhuman power even before the Superhuman Era.

However, these people also have their disadvantages.

Because they had already decided on their future path at a very early age.

If the abilities they awaken after drinking the gene serum don't match their previous superhuman powers.

Don't assume that one plus one is greater than two; it might even backfire.

For example, some magical families in Europe go to great lengths to raise a magician.

However, after drinking the gene potion, this magician awakened a physical enhancement ability.

Basically, they are two completely unrelated abilities.

Both aspects can be said to have been unenhanced.

It's fair to say it's quite useless. This situation is actually relatively good.

Despair arises only when contradictory abilities are awakened.

After drinking the gene serum, he awakened his own unique abilities.

Then, choose a promotion path based on your own abilities; that would be much better.

However, at this stage, these are individuals with abilities that existed even before the extraordinary era.

They have an absolute advantage over other superhumans.

Like Xia Yanwu, he is a top master in the martial arts world.

He was already a naturally gifted martial artist, and the gene serum he drank further enhanced his original abilities.

This made Xia Yanwu a fourth-tier advanced superhuman.

The ability that Xia Yanwu awakened after drinking the gene was a physical enhancement type.

It can be said that it gave Xia Yanwu a qualitative improvement in all his original abilities.

Now, Xia Yanwu has even mastered the civilized weapon, the Bright Silver Spear.

In China, he is hailed as the person most likely to become the next fifth-tier transcendent being.

Because Xia Yanwu drank the gene serum, his status as a congenital martial artist was further enhanced.

He is directly a fourth-tier transcendent.

He is a rare fourth-tier advanced superhuman.

Xia Yanwu's control over his body had reached an extreme, a state of consummate skill.

Xia Yanwu is also a weapons master, proficient in all kinds of weapons.

That's why Xia Yanwu obtained the right to use civilized weapons.

Xia Yanwu held a bright silver spear, and the spear moved like a dragon.

Ordinary little devils can't even get close.

The area around Xia Yanwu was like a vacuum zone; the little devil couldn't get any closer.

Another place is Hideta Takehito's keng.

Although he is not good at such large-scale melee combat.

But with his own skills and knife work, he could cut melons and vegetables with ease.

With their three civilized weapons, the three of them directly withstood the attacks of these little devils.

More than 90% of them were done by Anderson alone.

"I can't imagine what we would do without modern weapons."

"What kind of fantastical creatures are these that can even devour our attacks?"

After a long period of observation, Dorothy...

A conclusion was drawn.

"This kind should be the legendary hungry ghost."

"A demon?" another superhuman asked, puzzled.

Dorothy shook her head. "It's a hungry ghost, not an evil spirit."

"Legend has it that they exist in the realm of hungry ghosts, and are the weakest of the ghosts there."

"They have an insatiable hunger."

"They were in a state of extreme hunger at all times."

"Whether it encounters an external spirit or a living being, it will devour it."

Dorothy's explanation gave them a basic understanding of the imp they were facing.

"Hungry ghost?"

"I know about the six realms of reincarnation, isn't that just a Buddhist concept?"

"Could this really be some kind of Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand?"

"Or have we entered the realm of hungry ghosts?"

"Why are there so many of them?"

Some Buddhists are very clear that the hungry ghost realm in the six realms of reincarnation is only slightly higher than the animal realm.

Many people believe that the concept of the six realms of reincarnation originated from Buddhism.

But in reality, this is a concept from ancient Hinduism.

These hungry ghosts are born from wombs, and each birth produces hundreds or thousands of them.

It can be said to be as if it were endless.

Just like locusts, they devour everything that can be eaten.

This is the realm of hungry ghosts. (End of Chapter)
