Chapter 157 The First Appearance of a Tyrant
In the heart of a massive, spiderweb-like crater in a dense forest, a crimson spear stands majestically, its shaft emanating an ominous and terrifying curse—the cursed power unique to the [Ancient God's Blood].

"Crack!"

A dense and crisp sound of crystals shattering rang out from the Blood Spear. The assassin, whose body was covered in crimson crystal patterns, showed an expression of extreme horror. His body inside the crystals withered and became emaciated at an extremely fast speed, and his eyes became lifeless and dim.

It's like a specimen of despair sealed in blood-red amber.

[Hint: You killed Tessenjane, gaining 100 points]

After the two psychics died, the ranking of the Divine Lord on the official leaderboard of the Heavenly Gate Trial rose rapidly. Since the trial was open for a relatively short period of time, the points on the leaderboard were generally not many.

[Sequence - Seventh]

Divine Lord, Level 4 Legendary, 200 points

As his ranking rose, more and more psionicists paid attention to him, and more people approached him, trying to earn more points.

Many psionicists approached Ye Mingqiu not to kill him, but because he had revealed his location. This behavior was like lighting a torch in a dark forest, attracting conflict and creating a chaotic battleground.

Those psionicists were less about getting close to Ye Mingqiu and more about actively joining the melee zone in an attempt to quickly increase their scores through the chaos.

The psionicists who managed to get here weren't fools. Even the Tersonic Jane who was killed by Blood Spear was actually a master thief, skilled at stealing other people's equipment without them noticing and secretly severing the connection between the equipment and its owner.

He chose to make a move because the Blood Spear was only Dark Gold grade, and Teshengjian felt that even if Dark Gold grade equipment was dangerous, it wouldn't be that dangerous.

Then he was killed by the Blood Spear.

Teshengjian never imagined that a dark gold-grade weapon could be this dangerous! The rare materials absorbed by the Blood Spear and the blood sacrifices obtained through slaughter are beyond the imagination of normal psionicists. Its overall strength far exceeds its rating level.

[Hint: You have entered the Endless Forest]

At the boundary between the lava lake and the endless dense forest, the lush trees and the lava volcano are clearly demarcated.

Ye Mingqiu took a step forward, bringing with him a scorching wave of heat as he entered the dense forest. The high-temperature armor naturally emitted white smoke in the forest air due to the excessive temperature, and the terrifying temperature caused the space to distort slightly.

Where he walked, the earth and rocks beneath his feet would make a slight "sizzling" sound, leaving behind burn marks like branding marks.

The passive ability [Instinctive Perception] combines with combat instincts to form a detection radar, making the killing intent and hostility from other psionicists incredibly clear.

One, two, three... a total of more than thirty psionicists, and all of them were quite strong, most likely level 9 or 10 heroes.

If I were surrounded by these people, without using [War Roar], [Killing Intent Wave], [Tyrant Form], [Divine Pressure], [Beast King True Form], [Raging Pursuit], [King's Majesty], [Blood Shadow], and without using Blood Spear, Eye of Omargon, or Riddle Veil, I might be killed by them, right?

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly. These level 10 hero psionicists were far too powerful; even he had to be wary of them.

The situation is a little dangerous now!
Cautious, he chose to ignore the psionicists surrounding him and headed straight for the pit. Stepping on the shattered earth, he arrived in front of the Blood Spear, casually shattering the Special Amber that was being absorbed and devoured by the Blood Spear, and then grabbed the Blood Spear.

"Buzz!"

The blood spear shuddered violently, and a dark red light suddenly burst forth, as if a sleeping beast had awakened. The blood-red power coiled around Ye Mingqiu's arm and upwards, seemingly no slower than before, and perhaps even faster.

Under the witness of countless psionicists in the shadows, the blood crystal pattern stopped on Ye Mingqiu's upper arm, no longer climbing and spreading upwards, and the blood crystal pattern merged more deeply into Ye Mingqiu's arm.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling and intense red light emanated from the Blood Spear itself, and the blood crystal patterns flickered slightly and rapidly, as if welcoming its master.

"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and bursts of scarlet and murderous blood energy naturally erupted. This was not a skill, but simply an aura, though its effect was no less than that of a certain skill.

As the killing intent surged forth, the surrounding psionicists became even more certain that this Level 4 Legendary psionicist was definitely not a simple character.

After all, this is a ranking system, and the weak are not qualified to enter. Those who can enter are recognized by the will of the spirit world and their overall strength is not weak. Since he can appear here, he must possess some kind of special power.

"Is it a weapon?"

Someone thought to themselves.

Although the Blood Spear is ostensibly a Dark Gold-grade weapon, its actual strength far exceeds that of a Dark Gold-grade weapon. It can even kill a level 10 hero psionicist through direct contact. When linked with Ye Mingqiu, this weapon might provide him with additional enhancements.

Is nobody coming out?
Ye Mingqiu's gaze swept across the surroundings, his killing intent sensing covering the entire area. He locked onto the psychic with the strongest killing intent towards him and strode directly towards him. His steps were steady and unhurried, as if each step was treading on the taut nerves of everyone present.

His lips curled slightly upward, his heavy footsteps pounded the ground, and his bloodlust spread like a plague.

At this moment, in the eyes of the psionicists, he no longer looked like a psionicist, but more like a domineering BOSS who just looked a little like a psionicist.

"hu~hu~"

Ye Mingqiu, facing the psionicist Thasos, was now drenched in sweat. He couldn't understand why, even though he was hiding so well, this guy could still accurately approach him, and that terrifying killing intent was still faintly enveloping him.

His killing intent was like a spider web, wrapping and enveloping his prey layer by layer. By the time the prey began to struggle, it was already too late.

Can't escape!
There's absolutely no way to escape!
Thasos's instincts kicked in an alarm, and then a bead of sweat fell, soaking the forest floor. He took a deep breath, placed one hand on the katana at his waist, and focused intently on drawing his sword, his killing intent and conviction becoming one.

I must fight!
Overcome your fear and use your strongest strike to kill him unexpectedly!

Ok?
Ye Mingqiu narrowed his eyes. He noticed that the other party's killing intent had changed, from intense to faint yet sharp. He was very familiar with this feeling. He concentrated all his will on one strike and did not think about any irrelevant information.

So he bent down slightly, holding the blood spear horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive posture.

"Shhh!!"

A blurry figure burst out from the corner in an instant. The opponent seemed to have used some kind of skill that enhanced explosive power. The body, which turned into afterimages, moved repeatedly before finally launching an ultimate attack.

"Draw your sword - Six Days Flash!"

The sword suddenly appeared!
There was no earth-shattering display, no intricate and chaotic moves, only a single, exquisitely executed slash—a strike imbued with the essence of Thasos's martial arts, a fatal blow.

The air was silently sliced ​​open, and a terrifying glint of light flashed in Ye Mingqiu's eyes.

He saw it! He saw it clearly!
His body reacted too!

However, he was not fast enough. Even if he saw it and reacted quickly enough, he could not block the attack and could only try to avoid vital points.

"Bah!"

A deadly blade flashed, precisely cutting into the gaps in the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor. It swept diagonally upwards from the left waist, silently slicing through the dark gold-grade Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor, tearing open Ye Mingqiu's chest, and creating a huge wound.

The armor shattered, and blood splattered across the sky.

But the most nervous person at this moment was not Ye Mingqiu, who was being slashed, but Thassos, who had unleashed the strike. He couldn't help but roar in his heart: Why is this person's body harder than armor? Is this guy a monster?
Immediately, he saw the health bar displayed above Ye Mingqiu's head. There were two health bars, one representing 100% health and the other representing more than 100% health.

Ye Mingqiu exceeded the limit by 55%, and the second health bar was slightly more than half of the first one.

Thasos's slash only reduced Ye Mingqiu's second health bar by about two-thirds.

What the hell!What the hell!What the hell!

Thassos was incredibly frustrated. His weapon was top-tier, his base stats were maximized, and his skill level was even higher. Yet, under these circumstances, his attack only managed to take down about two-thirds of the opponent's second health bar.

Moreover, the opponent did not seem to be using any defensive skills; they were simply taking the hits head-on.

What the hell is this monster?!

My strike would have taken away at least 5000 HP from a level 10 hero of the same level, so why did you only lose so little?

etc.
HP -5723?

Um?Um?Um?
Something's not right, something's really wrong. How much health does this guy have?! This is ridiculous!
Dig a hole!!
Thasos was terrified. A huge, unknown fear enveloped him. He quickly sheathed his sword and retreated, trying to get away as fast as possible.

Logically speaking, the opponent is a level 4 overlord... oops! A level 4 legend. Given their low level and massive health, they must be a constitution-type character, and their agility is unlikely to be too high.
[A furious pursuit]

Ye Mingqiu's eyes widened in fury, completely ignoring the huge wounds torn from his body. He simply and brutally raised the blood spear, unleashing unparalleled power. In fact, when he exerted force, a lot of blood gushed from his chest, but he didn't care at all. He simply swung the blood spear down.

"call!!"

The blood spear, falling at breakneck speed, tore through the air with a sharp, explosive sound, rapidly approaching in Thassos's pupils before quickly enlarging.

Holy crap, what speed!

This is level 4? Level 4? Huh?
In a terrifying life-or-death moment, Thassos realized that he had no chance of dodging the attack, so he decisively turned around and parried with his sword, hoping that the opponent's strength was not too great. After all, this guy's physique and agility were so ridiculously high, so his strength should not be too fierce.

then
"clang!!!"

The blood spear clashed with the katana, the deafening clang of metal against metal like a thunderclap! Sparks flew everywhere!
The moment the weapons made contact, Thassos's expression contorted, as if he had been put on a mask of pain, the physical and mental discomfort making him lose control.

What the hell kind of power is this?
"puff!"

Thassos was immediately forced to gasp for breath, his knee was violently crushed and stuck in the ground, blood flowing everywhere, his arm made a cracking sound, and his bones seemed to break as well.

Die! Die! Die!

The power of that attack was terrifying!

Just as Thasos was about to be completely killed, sharp whistling sounds rang out from all directions of the dense forest. Arrows and bullets rained down on Ye Mingqiu and Thasos. One of the darts even slit Thasos's throat, as if to kill him outright.

My points!

"These are my points!" Ye Mingqiu was furious. He instantly locked onto the source of the dart's killing intent and roared as he increased the force, killing the powerless Sarsos instantly.

[Hint: You have killed Thassos and gained 100 points.]

Ah~ It worked!
Ye Mingqiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, his body was riddled with holes, and his health had dropped by about 12%. His health was almost depleted.

Of course, this is the amount of blood in the second tube.

"Whoo~"

He breathed heavily like a wild beast, crimson energy flowing into his body through the blood spear. The bullets were forcibly pushed out by the regenerated muscles, and the arrows fell as well. The abnormal status resistance prompts had already flooded the screen. How could those who shot arrows not add some poison to the arrows?

But it doesn't matter, his abnormal status resistance is high enough that he can be completely immune.

So, his health points rapidly increased in full view of everyone, and the rate of increase seemed to show no sign of stopping.

Undying in a Hundred Battles: All allies within 100 meters continuously recover 6% of their own health and 6% of their own psionic energy per minute. This effect is doubled for the user.

This single skill allows Ye Mingqiu to automatically recover 12% of his maximum health every minute. Combined with the Blood Spear's 150% recovery bonus, this brings the total to a terrifying 30% per minute! When combined with Ye Mingqiu's incredibly long health bar, the final effect is truly frightening.

Moreover, this doesn't even take into account the situation where life regeneration occurs naturally. You should know that Ye Mingqiu has quite a few passive abilities that can stack up to naturally regenerate life.

Not only that, Ye Mingqiu also raised his hand, and a dazzling golden light shone from it.

Holy Healing Technique!
The already rapidly increasing health bar suddenly jumped up again, and it was full again!

In an instant, the psionicists who had just peeked out from the shadows fell silent. It seemed as if an absurdly powerful monster had appeared on the battlefield.

Although this guy is only level 4, his true strength has already surpassed that of a normal level 10 hero.

"Is it open now?"

Someone muttered to themselves.

"It must be a problem with the weapon. That weapon just killed someone. I've never seen a Dark Gold-level weapon that can kill people on its own. It must be a Overlord-level weapon in disguise, possessing self-awareness and capable of greatly enhancing its host, but the consumption must also be enormous. Let's fight a war of attrition."

A man in a monk's robe squinted and analyzed the situation carefully.

All the other psionicists around him focused their attention on Ye Mingqiu. At this moment, the chaotic battle royale had quietly transformed into a collective attack on the big boss by level 10 hero psionicists who were stuck at their current level.

But Ye Mingqiu didn't care about any of that. He just stared intently at the assassin who was trying to steal his kill, making the female assassin feel a chill run down her spine and break out in a cold sweat.

"You like finishing off enemies so much, you must have a lot of points, right?" Ye Mingqiu said softly, taking a simple and direct step towards her.

"I don't have any points."

The female assassin replied in terror.

"I do not believe."

Ye Mingqiu firmly believed that the other party must have a lot of points, and was only denying it because they didn't want to flaunt their wealth. As for the truth, he would find out as soon as he eliminated the other party, which was very simple.

The next moment, the female assassin turned and fled, saying as she ran, "Brothers, I'll draw their aggro and focus fire on him, otherwise you'll all die."

The psionicists reacted swiftly: two tanks took the lead, several mages cast spells simultaneously, archers drew their bows, and warriors circled around Ye Mingqiu, searching for opportunities and weaknesses.

"Explosive Flame!"

"A giant wave in the swamp!"

"Combination Spell - Lava Tsunami!"

A powerful composite spell was rapidly formed in a short time, and a surging wave of magma engulfed Ye Mingqiu completely in a very short time. At the same time, the magma wave, which had both destructive and control effects, unleashed its power.

"puff!"

The next moment, the merciless iron hand pierced through the giant wave of magma, the phantom of the dragon devoured the magma, and Ye Mingqiu's Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor seemed to come alive, the broken parts rapidly repairing themselves, as if restored by some substance in the magma.

He stepped out of the giant wave of lava, his expression unchanged. The scorching lava dripped from his body into the dense forest, making a scalding "hissing" sound and emitting pale smoke.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless arrows and bullets hurtled through the air, but Ye Mingqiu paid them no heed. He simply walked directly toward the assassin who was trying to steal someone else's kill, completely ignoring the magma that possessed strong control effects and could frequently apply negative status effects.

Ye Mingqiu stepped out onto the lava, his body riddled with bullet holes and pierced by arrows. But these minor wounds healed quickly, the bullets were expelled, and the arrows fell to the ground.

Giant lightning balls and rain of rock spears attacked from two different directions, but Ye Mingqiu simply raised his hand, and the pitch-black [Demon Abyss Power] surged from his body.

[Magic Energy Devouring]

The pitch-black power transformed into a gigantic maw of the abyss, instantly engulfing and digesting the lightning ball and rock spear, converting them into pure demonic abyssal power, and then transforming into an even more terrifying giant wave that surged towards the mages who used magic.

"Demonic magic! How can this guy use demonic magic? And his proficiency... Why do I feel like his demonic magic is even stronger than that of a real demon? What kind of monster is this! He clearly possesses holy attributes, so how can he also use magical energy?"

The red-robed mage, watching the surging waves of [Demonic Abyss Power], gritted his teeth and unleashed the highest intensity of fire elemental power at his maximum speed. As long as he released an element stronger than the opponent's, he could break through the effect of the demonic energy devouring.

The solution is simple: Mana Devour is a demonic spell that relies on numerical strength. Overlord-level demons are stronger than legendary-level psionicists, and their mana is both more powerful in terms of quality and quantity. Therefore, they are generally very effective when using Mana Devour.

but!

Lord God, you are only a level 4 psionicist! Even if you have powerful three-dimensional attributes and a huge amount of life, it is impossible for you to have a mana pool that is terrifying enough to be comparable to a level 10 capped hero mage.

Demonic energy can devour me, but it can't break me!
"what!!"

The red-robed mage roared in fury, unleashing a terrifying burst of fire elemental power, like the sun descending to illuminate the world and dispel all darkness.

"Ok?"

Ye Mingqiu glanced at him again, then released even more Demonic Abyss Power, unleashing a terrifyingly surging force. He possessed two blue bars, one for spiritual energy and the other for divine power; Demonic Abyss Power could be converted from divine power, and divine power could be converted from spiritual energy.

Therefore, his total demonic power is the sum of his spiritual energy and divine power.

It's important to know that the terrifying total amount of psionic energy of 9853 is enough to suppress most level 10 hero-level mages, not to mention that he also has a second tube of holy power/demonic power.

The dark, abyssal power forged a terrifying, raging wave that swallowed the sun created by the red-robed mage. Darkness enveloped the light, and an aura of despair enveloped everything.

At that moment, the other mages also unleashed their strongest skills, with the power of lightning and giant rocks erupting to fight against the all-consuming abyss. They exerted all their strength to break through the demonic energy by combining the power of several people.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered that Ye Mingqiu, who was using demonic energy to devour, didn't pay much attention to them and was rushing towards the assassin.

He didn't use psionic energy because it would affect attribute amplification. Otherwise, even if all the mages combined their powers, they might not be able to break through his magic energy devouring. In terms of numerical values ​​alone, Ye Mingqiu was quite confident.

"Don't even think about it!"

A tank raised his shield, staring intently at Ye Mingqiu, and shouted.

He was met with a blood-stained spear thrusting at him.

"clang!!"

The blood spear collided with the shield, producing an extremely ear-piercing sound. The tank-type psionicist felt his arm go numb, but he still managed to block Ye Mingqiu's attack. He smiled slightly and thought to himself: Your attack is indeed very strong, but it can only kill those squishy classes. When facing a top-tier tank like me, you simply cannot break through quickly.

"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu exhaled a breath of stale air, put down the blood spear, and a red light flashed in his eyes as he muttered, "What a nuisance."

[Tyrant Form]

The next moment, his size increased rapidly in a short period of time, and his already terrifying aura grew to a level that normal psionicists could not comprehend at all. He was like a terrifying tyrant high above, looking down at the psionicists who looked up at him, and his huge and ferocious blood spear became even more crimson.

"I'm not fighting anymore! I'm not resisting anymore!"

The Tank-type psychic instinctively stepped back. He was only temporarily sticking with those people to eliminate the most threatening enemies as quickly as possible and improve his ranking.

But now the situation is different. He has discovered that his own psionicists seem to be no match for the enemy, so in this case, there is no need for him to fight.

Moisturize! Moisturize quickly!

But Ye Mingqiu didn't give him a chance. The five-meter-tall giant raised his blood spear, and the ferocious weapon fell, drawing a scarlet arc. The terrifying sense of oppression expanded to the extreme in an instant.

"when!!"

Tank-type shields resisted with all their might, but the Radiant Gold-class giant shields soon developed a few cracks. The terrifying pressure almost crushed him in an instant. He fought back frantically, gritting his teeth and trying to survive.

then
[Surge of Killing Intent]

A crimson killing intent erupted instantly, and the tanks immediately triggered their crowd control removal skills. In that brief moment of opening, the Blood Spear pressed down.

Blood slowly flowed out from beneath the giant shield.

[Hint: You have defeated the boulder and earned 100 points]
