Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 164, Section 163: The Ice Soul Domain! A Superior Ascension!

In the wind and snow, on the snow-covered plains!

The two figures clashed violently!

The explosive force of the wind whipped up rings of swirling ice shards!

Iron Hammer Sister originally wanted to observe the fighter jets to see if there was any opportunity to help Brother Owl.

But the barrage of flying ice fragments that rained down on her made her instantly docile, not daring to have even the slightest extra thought...

If she were to unleash her spell, the aftershocks of the battle would likely last only a few seconds.

"Is this Brother Xiao's strength...?"

She stared in shock at the extremely violent battle in the distance, the fists and feet of the two men almost blurred by the cold air and flames.

At least with her eyesight, she couldn't detect the rapid and continuous attacks from both sides!

At this moment, all Hammer Sister can do is be a dutiful and responsible audience member.

Try your best to protect yourself and don't distract Brother Xiao.

Send the video back to the guild.

This will ensure that the comrades who come to provide support have a clear understanding of the situation here.

Qi Heng, who was rushing over with a gun, was indeed affected as well.

Slightly distracted, after watching a few brief but intense battle scenes, he immediately shouted to the dozen or so elite guild members behind him, "Stop! You all go back!"

"Brother Dao!?"

Park Seok and his group didn't have the strength of Qi Heng, nor were they capable of multitasking while traveling.

"The enemy is very strong! Only Xiao Ge and I can hold them off!"

Qi Heng's face was ashen as he hurriedly explained, "You all return to camp immediately! Strengthen defenses and reorganize the convoy!"

"Brother Dao, what's wrong with you...?"

Pu Shi hesitated, but only heard Qi Heng's calm command.

"This enemy is no ordinary one! If Xiao Ge and I can't handle it even if we join forces, the convoy must move immediately!"

"Run as far as you can! Run as fast as you can!"

"Don't send reinforcements to us, and definitely don't come north to scout again!"

Qi Heng exhaled a breath of stale air and grinned, "If we hadn't died, we would have naturally gone after you after we escaped."

"But if... haha! Then you'd better keep the 'Light of Aoyama' sign up! You hear me!?"

"If you've figured it out, hurry up and leave! Stop dawdling like a woman!"

After saying this, Qi Heng smiled with relief and, without waiting for the others, headed north alone.

The remaining dozen or so guild elites, whose average level had reached LV20, looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all young men full of vigor, and the friendship they had forged with Brother Xiao and Brother Dao during this period had surpassed any previous stage of their lives.

die?

Nobody is afraid.

But so what!?

Are they really going to just stand by and watch their two older brothers, who have cared for and guided them, die alone at the hands of a monster?!

But reason constantly reminded them:

Brother Dao is right.

After recovering from their shock and watching the footage of Brother Xiao's fierce battle, they naturally understood that no matter how many people there were, it was all in vain in the face of an absolute difference in strength.

Not only will it not change the course of the battle, it will actually affect the fight between the two big shots...

But to let them slink back like that...

Park Seok's expression shifted, but he still gritted his teeth and growled, "Stop staring! Do as Brother Dao says!"

"Damn... if only we were a little stronger..."

The group withdrew their hesitant and complicated gazes, their figures disappearing into the southward wind and snow.

……

……

ka ka ka-

Ling Xiao pulled his legs out of the shattered ice and earth, the surrounding ground cracked, this was only the aftershock of the battle.

Floyd, on the other hand, was much more composed.

As it flew backwards through the air, countless icy wisps condensed and lifted it up from behind. Finally, a thick ice crystal "bud" bloomed, releasing the recoil and catching it steadily.

Countless rays of light swirled in Ling Xiao's eyes, the result of his supernatural abilities rapidly combining and replenishing.

It was precisely by relying on the several talent trees he had created that Ling Xiao was able to confront Freud, who was blessed by the gods.

And they didn't fall behind.

In the past, he would use the magic of the field to turn the battlefield into his own home ground and indirectly gang up on the enemy.

But right now, the ice and snow in the world seem to have become his enemies.

Can a mere first-tier blessing baptism achieve such power...?

He glanced discreetly at the cracked Iron Heart Blade in his hand, then assumed a charging stance again.

Although it became increasingly robust under the nourishment of Lingxiao's spiritual essence, the quality of the Iron Heart Blade was still only [Excellent].

For ordinary LV20 survivors, it is definitely a divine weapon!

However, once Lingxiao's actual strength is unleashed, it will reach its limit.

Different frames of reference will naturally yield different results.

In such an intense battle, the Iron Heart Blade trembled with a mournful cry with almost every collision.

The weapon embodies life, man and sword become one...

Lingxiao could feel its pain.

But if he puts down the knife now, he will be in an extremely disadvantageous position...

"You really don't want to come with me to see the Lord?"

"Believe in my Lord, and you will have eternal life."

"Outsider, don't you long to escape the depravity of this world and journey to the world of light?"

"Why don't you look down at yourself?!"

Ling Xiao scoffed disdainfully, his words arrogant, "Look at yourself now! You're more grotesque than a monster, and you still believe in your bullshit god?!"

"Immortality!? Light!?"

"Look at your bare crotch! You've even frozen off what a man should have!"

Freud raised his head, his cold gaze fixed on the foreigner who was spouting nonsense.

"You lowly ants, how dare you disrespect the gods!"

"They deserve divine punishment!!"

As Freud's bizarre pronouncements faded, an invisible tremor spread outwards.

The shock between illusion and reality caused even Ling Xiao, who possesses abilities such as [Unwavering Will], to momentarily lose his composure.

At that moment, he even felt as if his soul had been blown away from his body.

Fortunately, the strong mental attributes ultimately minimized the negative effects.

Iron Hammer Sister, protected by the spell, rolled her eyes; the weakened shockwave was not something she could withstand.

Without this protection, her soul would likely have left her body and been reduced to ashes in the subsequent terrifying attack!

Ancient and mysterious words burst forth from Freud's mouth, strung together into sentences, and arranged into poems.

Even from a great distance, Ling Xiao could feel his eardrums throbbing.

Or rather, his mind was starting to slowly boil over!

No!

We must interrupt!

There's no time to make a move or perform a close-range slash; the fastest way is—Dimensional Slash!

The killer move has reappeared!

Even knowing that his spatial killing move wouldn't be very effective against this monster, Ling Xiao had no choice but to act hastily.

Because he had a premonition that if this guy was allowed to continue chanting prayers, it would definitely lead to an irreversible outcome!

This dimensional slash didn't decapitate!

Instead, it blossomed directly from the corner of Freud's mouth!

Slash diagonally!

They cleaved open Freud's somewhat transparent head, destroying his vocal organs along with half of his brain!

The chanting stopped abruptly!

Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and released three phantom images at the same time just before his figure disappeared into the shadow world!

After being fed to the [Excellent] level, this talent in Ling Xiao's hands is now able to control three illusory figures to assist in battle!

Ling Xiao had never had the opportunity or the need to unleash his full potential before, but now, facing Freud, he must give it his all!

Frostwolf leader!

Frost Troll!

And... the Snow Wolf King!

Three illusory icy blue lights surged in the wind, with the massive ice troll taking the lead, followed closely by two more agile wolf spirits, attacking from the left and right!

As for Ling Xiao! ?

He was faster and had already rushed out of Floyd's path!

Step forward, and thrust your blade upward!

Freud was in a snowfield, where he could have a near-immortal body in the ice and snow.

But regeneration is not invincible.

Even broken bones need time to heal.

Freud's head was reconstructing so quickly that the dazzling, fiery light of Ling Xiao's blade could be reflected in his newly formed eyes.

bass--

The dazzling fire blade, moving at incredible speed, drew out a smooth, mirror-like arc of light!

Freud's ice-forged body was cleaved open by the swift blade strike as easily as a hot knife through butter.

His upper body flew diagonally into the air, and only then did he belatedly hear a sharp "hissing" sound coming from his waist.

The protective energy continues to explode!

Blood Flame injures the enemy, and the Explosive Aura continues to finish off the damage!

Of course, there's also the [Whirlwind Shadow Slash] to press the attack!

In an instant, Freud's upper body, which had lost its foundation, was engulfed and torn apart by countless flashes of light.

The wind blades were mixed with explosive, burning energy!

Ling Xiao finally devoured it completely with a fiery tornado!

The latest novel is first published here!

With a casual kick, Ling Xiao shattered the two "standing" legs. To prevent Freud from coming back to life, he used dimensional fission to completely send Freud's lower body to another world.

At this point, no trace of Freud could be found in the world.

But Ling Xiao did not disperse the illusory figures that had just managed to kill them; instead, he ordered them to continue their attack!

boom--

The earth cracked under the troll's hammer blows, and the two wolf spirits were also relentlessly attacking forward.

However, Ling Xiao still dared not relax.

He has exhausted all his tricks.

We've exhausted all methods, both conventional and unconventional.

If even this doesn't solve the problem...

Then he'll have no choice but to run away with Hammer Sister.

Strategic shift, there's nothing shameful about it...

However, this guy will likely haunt them relentlessly, preventing Ling Xiao from reuniting with the others. He'll then be forced to flee with Iron Hammer Sister...

Click...click...click...

The crisp footsteps stopped the phantom's attack.

Ling Xiao disbanded the [Shadow of Fighting Spirits] because he could sense that the ice elements of these projections were being absorbed by the figure in front of him.

And what sustains them is themselves.

This is tantamount to having one's spiritual power stolen...

The icy fog dissipated.

What comes into view is a shabby "skull".

The crystal-clear bones are still growing with a creaking sound.

Ribs, arm bones...

Only the two points of soul flame in the skull's eye sockets shone with a flickering, eerie light.

It was icy blue interspersed with scarlet, and its center exuded an eerie, pitch-black aura.

"You're very good..."

Freud was able to "speak" again?

Ling Xiao belatedly realized that it was a soul transmission that resounded directly in his heart.

"You are really, really good..."

"You're very good too."

Ling Xiao sized up the skeleton, then suddenly burst out laughing. "Body strong, but willpower weak. If you're going to be a dog, you should know what it means to be one. How dare you comment on me?"

Floyd wasn't angry; he just looked at the shards scattered at Ling Xiao's feet.

"Your knife is broken."

"You've reached your limit."

"The chance for eternal life is right before your eyes, so why can't someone as intelligent as you choose?"

"The knife is broken, but I am still here."

Ling Xiao casually put away the hilt of his knife and walked towards Freud empty-handed.

"I may die, but I will not lose. Some things are more important than life and death. Kneeling? Fine! After I'm dead, you can do whatever you want with my body!"

"I'm too lazy to talk to someone like you about the principles of being a decent person, and you're not worthy to listen!"

Both sides were exhausted after the battle.

Floyd paid a heavy price to survive such a brutal attack.

But when he saw Ling Xiao charging towards him, he simply went to meet him in silence.

That's how it is now, let it go...

Kill him first, then let the Lord purify his soul...

Squeak!

Ling Xiao punched the skull to pieces. Freud's hard finger bones closed like knives, but after piercing his chest a little, they were tightly gripped by another fleshy hand!

But the soul transmission did not cease.

Because the skull wasn't lethal, the flame of soul was still burning on Ling Xiao's arm!

Moreover, wisps of dark demonic energy spread out like maggots clinging to bones!

"Come...come! Be like me, and receive eternal life in the Lord's Kingdom..."

"roll!!"

A bright flame, so clear it seemed to scorch one's vision, burst forth from Ling Xiao's tightly clenched fist!

To defeat this enemy who is clearly aided by an evil god, Ling Xiao's greatest weapon is only the [Ember's Radiance]!

It has been hidden for a long time.

Floyd used his own body to spread pollution, and isn't Ling Xiao creating a similar opportunity?

Without the hissing sound of burning, the ball of light suddenly expanded!

It opened up the pure realm, sweeping away the dark demonic energy that had revealed its true form like sand blown by the wind!

A hideous face loomed in and out of the black mist, its expression terrified yet unable to utter a single word.

In the blink of an eye.

The light and flames filled the field of vision, and the demonic energy vanished completely!

bang bang bang-

The remaining skulls shattered piece by piece, and the powerless ice eagerly returned to the wind and snow.

Ling Xiao also received a reassuring reward.

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 16.9%...]

[Plunder failed! Talent—[Divine Blessing (??)] has dissipated!]

……

[Talent plundering in progress... Current success rate 35.4%...]

[Plunder successful! Talent - [Ice Soul Domain (Limited)] is ready!]

[The Heart of a Glutton] absorbs massive amounts of nutrients, breaking through current quality limits!

The gluttonous spirit [Excellent] has been elevated to [Outstanding]!

[Ember of Glory [Fine] has been upgraded to [Excellent]!]

The shackles that had bound them for so long were finally broken with the help of the [Limited] level Ice Soul Domain.

At this moment, Ling Xiao felt happy, but couldn't recall any other emotions.

Exceptional... Exceptional...

Even Ling Xiao, with his usual composure, couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes at this moment...

This is not just an enhancement of the talent [Greedy Heart].

blue!

It represents the brilliance of [excellence] quality!

More than twenty talents will soon appear in his talent list!
