Chapter 1400 - 42: Target

Staring at the images on Faraway Proximity, both Wen Yus were speechless.

They initially thought two tigers would fight, one would die, the other would be injured, and the Hunter would reap the benefits—such a good plan.

Yet the waters of Legas were beyond Wen Yu’s expectations.

In terms of pure strength, Legas wasn’t as "watery" as imagined—his displayed strength was already comparable to any carbon copy of Wen Yu, even slightly exceeding a bit.

Thus, this doesn’t count as too strong, but who is Wen Yu?

He’s approved by both the Dominator and the Demon Lord, the Heaven’s Pride level Sequence Number 1, the kind that’s impossible to find in hundreds of large worlds!

The full form of Heaven’s Pride Sequence Number 1 is formidable enough to resist the entire Topmost 7-Member Council of the Demon Clan Army, blame it only on the Black River Sovereign’s power exceeding estimates.

All along, the Soot Skin Demon Fiend race had immense deceitfulness regarding power—famed for reproductive ability, individual strength never reaches average, but the truth is, the Black River Sovereign far surpassed the Soot Skin Demon Fiend by being the world will riding on its exterior!

Being overpowered was justified, but one-sided massacre was truly out of Wen Yu’s plan...

"What an idiot!"

Watching Legas swinging upside down in Black River Sovereign’s grip, dying time after time, Wen Yu couldn’t help but rage, while the other Wen Yu kept checking the watch in his hand, rapidly counting down.

lives, seeming plenty, but at Legas’s rate of dying, it’s likely only three to five minutes.

"99, 98, 97..."

"Too fast, he’s dying too fast, Mad, can’t wait anymore, activate the trap immediately!"

Yet before the two Wen Yus finished speaking, the battle between Legas and Black River Sovereign shifted again.

...

Killed repeatedly, crushed, lifted from the ground, then killed and crushed again...

Legas’s mindset had become unfazed.

Wen Yu’s message had just reached Legas, intuition told him there indeed was a scheme, yet at this point, from Black River Sovereign’s reaction, Legas understood today’s calamity was unavoidable for him.

Wait to die?

What a joke!

As a Level 11 powerful expert, lacking courage for a desperate battle wouldn’t have brought him this far.

He was merely waiting, waiting for his moment to counterattack.

Soon, Legas’s revival methods had depleted to a dangerous threshold—under a hundred in number, he lay helpless on the ground, and Black River Sovereign seemed to break free from the pleasure of massacre, everything felt tasteless.

Black River Sovereign extended a hand, grabbed Legas’s thigh, lifted him off the ground, then gave a gentle shake.

Vigorous dark energy instantly seeped into Legas’s body, accompanied by a series of "crackling" explosions, shaking Legas’s bones to pieces in no time.

Then, Black River Sovereign extended another hand, clutching Legas’s upper body; he forced his hands like wringing a towel, intending to squash Legas into meat pulp.

"Creak... creak..."

Bones continuously grinded, tore, Legas’s upper body turned slowly until facing Black River Sovereign.

"I hate your gaze."

Black River Sovereign grumbled, but as his words fell, Legas suddenly burst into laughter.

Sensitive perception let Black River Sovereign instantly notice the changes in Legas’s body—flesh began collapsing, Origin Energy rioted, energy from the transformed flesh and nearly all Origin Energy frantically poured into Legas’s skull, twisted at his eyes into a horrifying energy mix.

"Boom!"

Two crimson beams shot from Legas’s eyes, instantly striking Black River Sovereign’s body; the powerful Origin Energy contained within sealed all of Black River Sovereign’s regular skills, at that moment, facing Legas’s desperate counterattack, Black River Sovereign could only use precious Origin Energy to counteract the incoming Origin Energy.

A full-force strike, instantly utilizing all controllable Origin Energy—an ultimate Deadly Weapon exclusive to Level 11 powerful experts, although simple, combined with the properties of Origin Energy, this move could clear away the same amount of enemy’s Origin Energy.

Summed up, it’s merely a self-damaging tactic!

Nonetheless, the absolute gap in hard strength made Legas’s counterattack utterly laughable.

Origin Energy in terrifying numbers flowed into Black River Sovereign’s body, this external power upon invading was immediately suppressed by Black River Sovereign’s internal Origin Energy.

Even if a single carbon copy as a Demon Spirit lacked the Origin Energy stock as the world will, the leftover quantity was still considerable.

Like a flame falling into the sea, Black River Sovereign’s body briefly stiffened then returned to normal.

Legas’s so-called desperate measure amounted merely to this.

Black River Sovereign raised a leg, stamped down heavily with a thick leg, instantly crushing Legas, then let out a disdainful scoff.

He didn’t even regard Legas.

The meat paste on the ground squirmed again, soon morphing into Legas’s figure.

This moment, Legas’s body was huddled, skin clinging to bones, flesh seemingly vanished, Origin Energy aura nearly non-existent, not a trace of a Level 11 powerful expert’s demeanor.

The recent blow drained Legas greatly, but as he raised his head again to look at Black River Sovereign, he merely revealed a smile of indefinable meaning.

This strike wasn’t meant to harm the enemy, but to deliver a signal to some observing fellow.

"Come save me now..."

...

"Smart move."

Seeing Legas’s action, Wen Yu narrowed his eyes.

Rescuing Legas wasn’t the aim, Wen Yu’s ultimate goal was to capture Black River Sovereign’s Demon Spirit carbon copy.

Abyss Stare requires sacrifices, and only those at the cosmic will level could forcibly push Wen Yu’s power to Level 11; during these thirty-plus years as Commander-in-Chief of Yanjing, Wen Yu naturally paid attention to other items that might promote to Level 11, however, found nothing.

Wen Yu had to accept a fact—that possibly, his channel to promote to Level 11 could only rely on Abyss Stare.

In this scenario, Legas, this Level 11 powerful expert, was completely useless to Wen Yu; Black River Sovereign, this "pseudo-Level 12," might qualify as a sacrifice for Abyss Stare, it was also the "result" Wen Yu had painstakingly sought.

Legas showed intelligence at this moment; perhaps during this chased experience, Legas had figured out the story’s ins and outs, he threw out all his Origin Energy, creating an established fact of "having no room to resist," thus Wen Yu could boldly ignore Legas, focusing solely on dealing with Black River Sovereign.
