Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

One by one, the figures standing in the sea of ​​rules watched Lin Yu's actions.

Their facial expressions varied.

"Let's wait and see. The beings in those coffins are all a level above these 500 contestants, and their methods are unlike anything the people of this world have ever seen. There's going to be a good show."

"According to these little guys, the creature in that coffin is at least at the fourth level of Super S tier, only slightly weaker than that guy called Blade. There are quite a few in the third and second tiers as well, and they specifically chose a few, hehe..."

The man didn't say what he meant next, but everyone understood.

Of the 500 people who advanced in this competition, more than 100 have super S-level strength, and the remaining 300 are all rated S-level powerhouses.

Only a handful of them are still at the peak of A-level.

These lucky A-level individuals only advanced by sheer luck because of Lin Yu.

In the first round, Lin Yu specifically targeted and killed the strong individuals from the seven major nations, but did not touch the evolved individuals from the smaller nations, which resulted in some lucky individuals from the smaller nations making it into the second round.

The strength of the beings in those five hundred coffins was determined by the strength of their opponents on their cards.

Therefore, there are probably more than 300 people with strength in the fourth tier of Super S, which is one tier weaker than Blade.

The remaining hundred or so, half of the living beings, were about as strong as Blade.

The last ones were all on the edge of a blade.

"Hehe, the opponents I specifically chose for those I think are good, like numbers 1-9, 66, and 88, are all ridiculously strong. This is going to be a good show."

The man, his body crackling with lightning, said with a smirk. There seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude in his words.

"Let's keep watching, I'm looking forward to it too."

Some people laughed along with it.

-

Soon, the next day arrived.

Lin Yu has already hunted down 31 powerful foreigners, and has amassed a wealth of resources.

More importantly, he acquired a bunch of identity cards, which represented more than 30 red-level secret realm cards, and he was incredibly excited about it.

He grew to enjoy robbery more and more.

Just then.

The entire earth seemed to tremble, and a faint pressure permeated the air.

In many places on the secret battlefield, the earth cracked open.

somewhere.

Just then, an S-rank expert from the Kingdom of Saint Tor was resting on an ancient tree.

Suddenly, a small mound of earth at his feet exploded, startling him.

"What the hell?"

His body tensed, he squinted, and stared intently at the crack that had exploded below.

Then, a large, square wooden box popped out from the crack. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a coffin.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the entire coffin exploded and shattered into pieces.

A strange creature was revealed.

It looks much like a human, except that it has two horns on its head. The hands that protrude from its clothes are not human hands, but a pair of sharp claws.

His eyes were unfocused as he looked around.

The next moment, he clutched his head and rolled on the ground, uncontrollably emanating a terrifying aura that made the Saint Tor Kingdom experts hiding in the trees extremely nervous.

Four or five minutes later.

The creature stopped moving and slowly got up.

His eyes had regained their clarity.

He slowly picked up a card and a compass that had fallen to the ground and examined them carefully.

The top has the number 567 written on it, while the back has a large character for "kill".

Sudden.

He glanced upwards.

With just one glance, the powerful figures of Saint Tor felt their hair stand on end, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"They're actually Chaos Humans? Interesting."

A voice like that of death rang out.

The next moment, he appeared behind the powerful figure from Saint Tor, his terrifying killing intent enveloping him, and his sharp claws lashed out, ready to end the other's life.

only--

A cold voice echoed in the mind of this creature.

[Warning: If any living being other than the target is killed, it will be forcibly annihilated!]

That one sentence was enough to make the mysterious creature abruptly stop its claws.

What was that sound?

His eyes narrowed, and a captivating light flashed in his pupils.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.

He had a feeling that if he had killed the Chaos Human in front of him, he himself would have been annihilated.

So he stopped.

At this moment, his claws were already less than a centimeter away from the throat of the powerful figure from Saint Tor.

"ah--"

Although the powerful figures of Saint Tor did not know what had happened, they understood.

The creature before us is the mysterious being described in the rules.

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was stunned, he quickly moved and escaped.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious creature pondered for a moment, but instead of giving chase, it slowly looked at the card in its hand.

"Number 567?"

Then, he looked at the compass.

The compass needle is pointing straight ahead.

"seem--"

"It's not too far."

The mysterious creature curled its lips into a smile, then darted off in the direction the compass indicated.

Half an hour later.

A figure in combat gear came into his view.

"I've found you."

The mysterious creature revealed a cruel smile.

The figure hundreds of meters away was the target indicated by the compass.

"Hmm, this aura..."

Lin Yu, who was walking, suddenly stopped. He felt himself being locked onto by a mental force.

Turning around instantly, I saw a creature with two horns on its head appear in my field of vision.

"A mysterious creature?"

Looking at the strange human figure, Lin Yu immediately understood.

This must be the mysterious creature the rules were referring to.

"So you're the Chaos Human, codename 567?" The two-horned creature landed and spoke with disdain.

"Code name 567? I'm not!"

Lin Yu was stunned.

"Hehe, kid, you don't need to lie to me anymore. This compass has confirmed your identity." The two-horned creature raised the compass in its hand.

Seeing the other party's actions, Lin Yu seemed to understand something.

567's identity token is currently in his spatial ring.

Could it be?

Will the identity tokens of the people you killed guide mysterious beings to you?

If that's the case, then he has more than 30 identity tokens in his spatial ring.

"Boy, according to my past personality, you would be dead by now."

The two-horned creature glanced at Lin Yu indifferently, licked its lips, and changed the subject: "However, it's rare to encounter a Chaos Human these days, so I'm quite interested."

"If you can answer my questions honestly, I might consider letting you live another day."

The two-horned creature's arrogant tone made Lin Yu frown.
