Chapter 586 - 283: Yuanxu! Challenging the Tyrant! (2)

To some extent, the blood spear’s augmentation to the host is quite terrifying. Its ability to absorb blood and replenish basic attributes alone has already surpassed the vast majority of equipment. If weapons had a talent level, the blood spear’s talent level would probably be S+, or even higher.

[Hint: The spiritual pearl has been distributed, and its specific location is displayed on the map]

"Hmm, the new spiritual pearl has arrived."

Ye Mingqiu smiled but did not take action. Instead, he continued to sit in the cave reading a book.

At this moment, the energy within the blood spear hasn’t been fully absorbed. If high-intensity combat is triggered at this time, he might end up at a disadvantage. He won’t take the risk of going out and causing trouble; there’s no need for it.

....

Dark Rift Canyon

This is a massive crack that spans the central part of the continent, with the widest part reaching 300 kilometers. A terrifying storm formed by dark energy engulfs all life around it, and occasionally a small amount of [soul ash] flows from the storm.

Deep within the canyon lies a desolate abyss, but it also contains unknown opportunities. It might be the birthplace of soul ash or possibly the root of truth, or perhaps holding the world’s truth.

Normally, the inhabitants of this world try to stay away from here to avoid being swallowed by the storm, so most of the time this place is deserted.

But today is different because the spirit pearl from the spirit realm fell near the dark rift canyon, leading many alien races here to search.

All the strong alien races are gathered, probing around the canyon’s edge for the spiritual pearl. At this moment, there’s still a bit of apprehension in their hearts because the position of the spiritual pearl is merely a landing spot and could be blown to an unknown place by the storm.

If it falls into the abyss...

That would be bad!

Thus, all the alien races are united in their search, with no thoughts of internal conflict. They don’t want to discover that the spiritual pearl has already fallen into the canyon abyss the next time they locate it.

Soon, a giant successfully finds the spiritual pearl. He then casually puts it away in his pocket, pretending not to have found it, continuing to search with his head down, rummaging on the ground.

This scene happens to be noticed by a distant demon race strongman.

He looks coldly at the giant, hiding his aura well. In his hand, he holds a long knife, its blade long and curved, with terrifying power hidden beneath its ordinary surface.

Clearly, this is also a tier two weapon and one that has power comparable to the Flaming Giant King’s Flaming Giant Sword.

The demon race steps towards the giant step by step, while the giant appears oblivious, just searching with his head down.

"Swish..."

The knife is unsheathed, and fierce cold light briefly illuminates the entire world, then returns to normal.

An astonishingly beautiful cut is struck out, causing the alien races present to gasp and shout out that name...

"Yuanxu!"

"It’s Yuanxu of the demon race!"

"He’s here!"

....

Among countless exclamations, the giant searching with his head down suddenly shatters, turning into countless flesh fragments falling to the ground, transmitted away by black light, and the spiritual pearl he was carrying rolls aside.

Yuanxu bends down to pick up the bloody spiritual pearl, glancing at the crowd present, and announces, "This spiritual pearl belongs to our demon race."

The atmosphere on site is oppressive. Facing the strongest leader of the demon race, none of the alien races present dare to resist. Unlike other alien race leaders, the demon race leader cares more about power and never regards other alien races or even his own race.

This is very arrogant, but he has the qualifications for it.

Because Yuanxu has successfully advanced his swordsmanship specialty to swordsmanship mastery at tier one, and it is of quite high quality mastery, able to exert greater combat strength than other strong individuals of the same level.

Techniques typically flourish at tier two, as ordinary techniques cannot be mastered at tier one. But Yuanxu is different; he has mastered swordsmanship and possesses extremely high attributes, and extremely powerful weapons, making his combat strength at tier one quite terrifying.

He truly has the qualifications to be arrogant, to disregard other alien races. Yuanxu’s personal strength is the strongest among all alien races, and much stronger than the second-ranking

....

Giant Race Base

"King, our companion was killed!"

"I know."

Flaming Giant King’s eyes were dark. Unlike other leaders who hide their strength, Yuanxu has already started to show his prowess.

Perhaps because after the battle with the Blood Erosion Tyrant, the Flaming Giant King retreated unscathed, he made the wrong assumption that the Blood Erosion Tyrant’s strength might be less formidable than he imagined and doesn’t warrant excessive caution, so he came out directly and forcibly seized the spiritual pearl.

What displeased the Flaming Giant King was not Yuanxu killing their kind but his breaking of peace rules, which is key.

Others don’t know how strong the Blood Erosion Tyrant is, but he knows very well. If he doesn’t ensure his race has sufficient combat strength, he feels anxious.

The Blood Erosion Tyrant seems to be of the tank system, but actually is speed-oriented. This guy is very fast, ranking among the top among the strong individuals the Flaming Giant King has fought, such a powerful existence must be approached with the utmost caution.

Yuanxu’s actions are likely to lead to a breakdown in peaceful coexistence among the races, possibly triggering more disputes.

When everyone adheres to the rules, those who break them gain the most. Once someone starts breaking the rules, everyone else becomes the unfortunate ones. So the question is, will they continue to willingly be the unfortunate ones?

If they continue being unfortunate ones, they’ll inevitably lose significant profits. If not, they’ll fight, compete for resources, but if they do, facing the Blood Erosion Tyrant will be very challenging.

Thus, at this moment, not just the Giant Race, but other races are very dissatisfied with Yuanxu’s behavior.

But there’s nothing to be done; he’s the demon race leader with the strongest individual combat power, difficult for others to constrain. Right now, they most hope the Blood Erosion Tyrant will come out and fight Yuanxu, letting these two troublesome guys replace each other, which would be the best outcome.

....

"Lord Yuanxu, what we’re doing... isn’t it a bit improper? What if the Blood Erosion Tyrant comes?"

"It’s fine."

Playing with the spiritual pearl in his hand, Yuanxu spoke casually: "The current Blood Erosion Tyrant isn’t scary. What’s truly scary is a tyrant fighting ferociously at the edge of death. Right now, he can be bought with interests, which means he’s not on the verge of dying."

"Certainly, cursed equipment is frightening, but perhaps he’s already found a resolution."

"Previously killing while wearing cursed equipment was just to intimidate and obtain more resources. If resources can suppress, then the Blood Erosion Tyrant isn’t that fearsome."

"Only those who yearn for life will think about future resource planning. To survive, he might do more than we imagine. Others fear because they lack the qualification and strength to face the other side of the negotiation table."

"To him, they’re just lambs, livestock to be taken at will. But I’m different, I have the strongest strength, able to converse and engage dialogues with him, won’t be extorted and robbed like that giant."

"What should we do next then?"

Subordinate of the demon race asked with his head down.

"Actively find the Blood Erosion Tyrant, let him witness my confidence, my strength, make him understand all this through power."

Yuanxu’s expression was not arrogant. He calmly looked at the map at the icon representing the Blood Erosion Tyrant, and said, "I don’t need to defeat him; I just need to make him wary of me, avoid engaging in a mortal struggle, once this is achieved, we take a significant step towards the final victory."

"Let’s go!"

Yuanxu stood up, holding the long knife, leading his demon race subordinates towards the hiding place of the Blood Erosion Tyrant. He directly showed a smile, a smile filled with confidence and boldness.

His confidence is accumulated through countless battles, not unrealistic fantasies. Even when facing a world-level dominator, Yuanxu shows no fear.

Because he has already challenged a world-level dominator!

No one knows better than him what kind of powerful combat strength a world dominator possesses, and precisely because he’s aware and confident in his strength, he dares to face off against the Blood Erosion Tyrant.

Though Yuanxu appears outwardly arrogant, in reality, he is very cautious, never doing anything he considers dangerous. He’s seeking out the Blood Erosion Tyrant because he believes he has sufficient capability to stand before the Blood Erosion Tyrant, possessing adequate qualifications to negotiate.

The world belongs to the strong, and I just happen to have sufficient power.

Yuanxu thought so.
