Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

"Previously, the wrath of the God killed a large number of Low Tier participants, and the remaining ones are seasoned veterans proficient in survival. Not to mention, your two ’companions’ have already started hunting ahead of everyone else."

"And at most in an hour, the queen insect will lay eggs. At that time, not only will its Essence of Life rapidly flow away, but those larvae will also burrow into blood and bones where the Lites Flower juices cannot reach, making them hard to eliminate."

Hearing this, Xi Ya’s expression turned extremely grim. While the injury on her right arm had stopped bleeding and her body was rejuvenating, her face was even paler than before.

"Ah, right!" The Divine Envoy seemed to remember something, "You should know, as the main character of this ritual, Cang Kai has a points bonus far beyond everyone else, right?"

"Just the Hunting Points provided by him alone are enough to meet your clearance requirements."

"And I happen to be able to offer you some convenience in this regard."

Speaking, the Lizard God Envoy plucked a golden scale from its neck. Strangely, even after releasing it, the scale still floated mid-air, with its tip pointing to a specific direction.

"My weapon isn’t that easy to take," the Lizard God Envoy chuckled lightly, "I have high hopes for your performance. I hope you won’t waste your life due to foolish insistence."

Having said that, it said no more, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the skies, leaving Xi Ya standing quietly alone.

She stood motionless like a stone statue, though the aura in her body was gradually strengthening, her expression grew increasingly bleak, resembling a puppet being slowly drained of its soul.

After a long time, she suddenly seemed to make some decision and grabbed the golden scale left by the Lizard God Envoy, silently rushing into the sky.

...

In the distance, Chu Xiu’s consciousness slowly withdrew its gaze from mid-air.

At this moment, his consciousness descending nearby was more than tenfold stronger than before, and the Spirit Body he condensed with the altar energy was more solid.

This was the transformation brought by spatial proximity.

But, it’s still not enough! More time is needed!

"An hour is still a bit short..." Chu Xiu frowned, looking towards the direction Xi Ya had gone.

Thinking briefly, Chu Xiu shifted his consciousness and gaze to the other side.

Fifty kilometers away, in a cave, Cang Kai holding a golden spear stood blood-covered in the center.

While it was called a cave, the combat energy had melted it into a massive cavern with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

Beside him lay two broken corpses.

They were the two King Tier individuals responsible for hunting Cang Kai!

And one King Tier remained nearby, his limbs severed, face covered in blood, grimly smiling, "What a Cang Kai, didn’t expect that even the three of us could not defeat you."

"What are you waiting for? Surely you won’t be clinging to old feelings at this point?"

Cang Kai glanced at him lightly, without replying, staring at the spear in his hand, lost in thought.

"Cang Kai!"

The person was evidently outraged by his demeanor, shouting fiercely, "Do you expect me to repent? Though I lost, I’ve never regretted my decision!"

"Mortals are like weeds; from the perspective of a millennium, does it make any difference whether they live happily or in suffering? They’ll just keep dying and being born, and individual joys and sorrows are utterly insignificant!"

"Why should we sacrifice pursuit of eternal life for them?"

Cang Kai was drawn by his shout, slowly turned to his former friend, and spoke softly, "You’ve misunderstood."

"Not killing you isn’t out of sympathy or expectation."

"It’s simply because once I kill you, I’d transform from ’Prey’ to ’Hunter’."

"I said before, anyone can live today, except that I, Cang Kai, must die!"

"You..."

The man was clearly stunned, not expecting Cang Kai to utter such words, briefly frozen in place, his face showing complete incomprehension.

Cang Kai said no more, only glancing at the drones surrounding him, then looking ahead as if waiting for someone.

Rarely, silence fell over the scene, but it didn’t last long. Suddenly, with a loud crash, the rocks above the cavern were violently blasted open, piercing sunlight shooting in.

In the intense light, the backlit silhouette of the Lizard God Envoy appeared, looking down mockingly at Cang Kai: "Waiting for me?"

"No."

Cang Kai replied lightly, looking beyond the Lizard God Envoy.

There, a stream of blood-red light was rapidly approaching.
