I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"Where is this place...?"

Shen Tian narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the knife.

He took a deep breath, and the internal energy within him circulated wildly according to the route of the "Myriad Manifestations of the Universe" technique. A faint golden light film appeared on his body, keeping out the all-pervasive gray mist.

[Tianxin Tong] sensed it.

The Shadow Demon is just ahead.

And they are very close.

Shen Tian carried the knife, his boots echoing hollowly as they stepped onto the black ground of an unknown material.

The further you go, the clearer the whispers become.

The surrounding scenery became increasingly bizarre.

The streetlights along the roadside resembled the eyeballs of some kind of creature, with half of their withered optic nerves hanging from them;

The liquid flowing from the cracks in the ground was not water, but a dark red, viscous grease.

at last.

After passing through a collapsed ruin.

Shen Tian stopped in his tracks.

Ahead was an open space resembling a plaza.

In the center of that open space, there was a dark shape.

It was the Shadow Demon.

But at this moment, this once invincible fifth-tier beast king is in a rather strange state.

It didn't run away.

They didn't hide in the shadows either.

It just knelt on the ground, its body like a melting candle, constantly twitching and deforming.

"Found it."

Shen Tian's voice was icy as he slowly raised the [Heavenly Sin] in his hand.

however.

The Shadow Demon seemed not to hear him.

It was facing away from Shen Tian, ​​and its hands—no, its arms, which had been blown off, were now sprouting countless tiny black buds.

The fleshy buds seemed to have a mind of their own, dancing wildly, grabbing the gray mist from the air and stuffing it into their wounds.

"Gurgle...gurgle..."

The sound of chewing could be heard.

It is eating the fog.

Or rather, it's letting the fog devour it.

"Is this your trump card?"

Shen Tian took a step forward, and the lightning on his body crackled, dispelling the surrounding gloom.

I heard thunder.

The Shadow Demon finally paused its movements.

It slowly turned around.

The moment he saw its face, even Shen Tian, ​​who was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, couldn't help but have his pupils slightly contract.

That can no longer be called a face.

The originally hideous demonic face was now covered with compound eyes of all sizes.

Each eye has a different pupil.

Some stand upright, some lie horizontally, and some are even irregular five-pointed stars.

Its mouth was split all the way to its ears, and it was filled with those gray fleshy buds that were burrowing deep into its throat.

"whee……"

The Shadow Demon spoke.

It was no longer the sinister roar of the beast, but a strange laugh that overlapped with countless vocal lines.

It's as if men and women, young and old, are all crammed into its vocal cords and speaking at the same time.

"Look... I saw it..."

"God...so beautiful..."

Its original main eye was now staring intently at Shen Tian, ​​devoid of fear or hatred.

All that remained was a morbid fanaticism.

Are you...hungry too?

The Shadow Demon tilted its head.

With its movement, a piece of flesh from its neck fell to the ground with a thud.

The piece of meat didn't die after hitting the ground; instead, it turned into several black worms that quickly burrowed into the cracks in the ground.

Pollution.

This is utter spiritual pollution and physical distortion.

It was only because of the brief moment it took to fall in.

A peak fifth-tier beast king had completely gone mad.

"Hungry……"

The distorted sound pierced through Shen Tian's peak third-grade mental barrier and echoed once again within Shen Tian's skull.

This time, it wasn't a hallucination.

The black fleshy growths on the ground burst open like boiling asphalt.

The Shadow Demon's original beast-like outline completely disintegrated, transforming into a chaotic mountain of flesh ten meters high.

Countless arms stretched out from the gaps in the mountain of flesh, each palm bearing a screaming mouth.

Those arms stretched out endlessly, like a giant net woven from pale flesh and blood, carrying a stench, and descended upon Shen Tian.

"Silent Thunder".

Shen Tian remained expressionless, clenching his fist with one hand.

Boom!

Purple lightning erupted in his palm, transforming into a lightning whip that stretched for a hundred meters, lashing fiercely at the fleshy net.

sizzle-

Those arms were charred and carbonized by the lightning, yet no blood flowed out.

Conversely, large amounts of gray mist gushed from the charred wounds, and in an instant, more and smaller limbs grew out.

Even more remarkably, those newly grown little hands attempted to grasp the lightning, stuffing the raging energy into the mouths of their palms to devour it.

"They can even eat thunder?"

Shen Tian narrowed his eyes and retreated a hundred meters, avoiding those greedy tentacles.

This thing can no longer be called a mythical beast.

Its life form has been rewritten by this strange space.

"Hehe... Gotcha... You..."

The five-pointed star pupil in the Shadow Demon Lord's eyes spun wildly.

hum!

The space around Shen Tian suddenly became incredibly viscous.

Countless transparent, slippery tentacles emerged from the void and tightly bound his limbs.

As my limbs were bound, I felt as if a bucket of ink had been poured into my mind, and countless crazy thoughts began to emerge.

Desires for killing, gluttony, and self-destruction grew wildly like weeds.

Clang—!

A clear, resonant clang of a blade echoed in his mind.

All distracting thoughts, auditory hallucinations, and pollution vanished instantly under the sound of the sword's cry, like snow meeting hot water.

Shen Tian's previously somewhat cloudy eyes instantly regained their clarity.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of the [Heavenly Sin] sword with both hands.

An indescribable aura rose from Shen Tian's body.

At that moment, he felt as if he were no longer a person.

Instead, it is a colossal blade that can cleave the heavens and open the earth.

The thick gray fog around them parted on its own in the face of Shen Tian's sharp aura, revealing an absolute vacuum zone.

Sword stance!

This is the mark of a fifth-tier martial artist, who controls the power of heaven and earth.

Slay all things!

"Playing tricks!"

The Shadow Demon's hundreds of mouths simultaneously emitted shrieks.

It sensed a threat.

We must kill him! Eat him!

boom!

The enormous mountain of flesh suddenly expanded and then exploded completely.

The blood and flesh filled the sky, turning into a black downpour. Each drop of blood transformed into a hideous human face in the air, crashing down on the tiny human figure.

This is an indiscriminate saturation attack.

It wants to fill every inch of space with pollution!

Faced with this apocalyptic scene, Shen Tian kept his eyes closed.

He slowly raised his knife.

The movements were so slow, it was as if they were pushing open two heavy doors.

But just as the blade was raised above his head...

Heaven and earth stood still.

The wind stopped.

The screaming faces and the blood rain were frozen in mid-air.

Even the churning gray fog in the distance seemed to have been paused.

The whole world is reduced to a single action.

Chop downwards.

"cut."

Shen Tian uttered a single word softly.

[Heavenly Sin - Heavy Pressure]!

[The Power of the Divine Elephant]!

[Innate Sword Body - Sword Aura]!

With a combination of various talents.

Only a thin, hair-like black line extended from the tip of [Heavenly Sin]'s blade, lightly gliding across the congealed blood rain, across the blasted mountain of flesh, and finally into the indestructible black ground.

It's like scissors cutting through cloth.

The rain of blood from human faces, which filled the sky, shattered instantly upon contact with the black line, before they could even scream!

The Shadow Demon's massive body froze in mid-air.

The "thread" that connected this eerie space and provided it with endless power has been severed.

That one slash cleaned it up completely.

"No……"

Hundreds of mouths moved simultaneously, but no sound came out.

Click.

A neat crack appeared in the center of its main eye, and then quickly spread throughout its entire body.

Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes, and the long sword in his hand was sheathed.

Clang.

The Shadow Demon Mountain of Flesh lost all support, split in two, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of lifeless black water.

The mutated flesh and blood, which were originally indestructible, now resembled ashes after a fire, peeling off layer by layer and dissipating in the gray mist.

Only Shen Tian remained, standing there with his sword drawn.
