Chapter 985 690: Destruction Race (Part 2)
This world cannot exist with only good, nor with only evil.
Even the wildlings abandoned by the Terminal and Outer City, and the despised Bloody ones, weren't they the ones who stood up and took on everything when no one could resist the coming Seven Sins Storm, thus establishing such a place as the Seven Sins Domain?
In contrast, the people of the Outer City...
Li Zheng looked at those around him who, despite being tempted, couldn't make up their minds, and he sneered internally, "Hesitant and stagnant, such behaviors are even inferior to wildlings like the Black Dragon Ancestor. What face do they have to boast they're more virtuous and noble than wildlings?"
Finally, one hooded figure couldn't hold back any longer, and after much hesitation, took a step forward, walking out of the Golden Light Zone.
Buzz!
A boundless hunger hit him, and he bit his tongue, almost severing it and swallowing it down.
Fortunately, he used his strong willpower to resist and withstand the impulse brought by hunger.
"If the Celestial Dragon Race can do it, I don't believe I can't!" He gritted his teeth fiercely, looking ahead at the golden-light-emitting figures of the Celestial Dragon Race fighting the Gorging Giant Beasts, suddenly seeming to figure something out, laughed insanely, "I understand! I finally understand! The meaning of survival! This is the true meaning of survival!"
He started a mad sprint, leaving behind a trail of silver-gray blood, which burst into flames upon hitting the ground, scorching small pits.
"Madman," someone muttered not far away, "The people of the Destruction Race are indeed as the legends say, all of them mad!"
Li Zheng's gaze locked onto the laughing man, "Is this person from the Destruction Race?"
He seemed to have an abnormal mental state.
According to the Black Dragon Ancestor and others, the Destruction Race is naturally belligerent and obsessed with destruction, their genes inscribed with "war fanatic."
With such a mindset, the Destruction Race should have perished in the final battle long ago.
Because they are easily assimilated by negative emotions.
Yet, inexplicably, some members of the Destruction Race survived back then and returned to the Wilderness under the leadership of the Saintess of Destruction.
However, the Black Dragon Ancestor and others did not share the same beliefs with the Destruction Race, so they weren't close, and had not had contact in a long time and didn't know what the Destruction Race was like now or how many people were left.
They only remembered the number assigned to the Wilderness area where the Destruction Race resided.
"Why lament life, why fear death?"
"From birth, humans are headed towards death, what's the difference between dying early or late?"
"Some deaths are as light as a feather, others as heavy as a mountain."
"I don't wish to drag out an ignoble existence, living half my life in vain. Today, I will follow all of you to a noble death!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
The member of the Destruction Race drew a Ghost Head Saber, uttering incoherent mad words, though not resonating with the battle intent of the Celestial Dragon Race, fearlessly charged onto the battlefield, fighting those Gorging Giant Beasts with his weapon.
Compared to the mountain-like size of the Gorging Giant Beasts, he appeared as a tiny ant, and the Ghost Head Saber striking their bodies was like an inconspicuous prick in the flesh, causing no threat at all.
The Gorging Giant Beast uninterestedly slapped at him, just like swatting a mosquito.
Smack!
He was smashed and exploded, with flesh sticking to the Gorging Giant Beast's body and burning fiercely.
But to the massive-bodied Gorging Giant Beast, the burning flame was insignificant, and it wiped the flame with a couple of swipes, dimming it significantly and seemingly ready to extinguish at any moment.
"Dead... dead?" Li Zheng was dumbfounded; that member of the Destruction Race was killed by just a single slap of the Gorging Giant Beast?
"It shouldn't be... his strength didn't appear weak, why..."
Before the perplexing thoughts could finish, the fire sparked by the flesh seemed to have a bucket of gasoline poured on it, with flames soaring several dozen meters high, surging into the dense Black Mist above!
Most of the enormous Gorging Giant Beasts were within the Black Mist, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire Gorging Giant Beast, burning its fat flesh with a sizzle.
The Gorging Giant Beast howled miserably, enduring immense pain, its cries piercingly shrill from within the Black Mist.
Li Zheng glanced at Little Sakura, then at the burning inferno, suddenly recalling the Destruction Race had such a self-combustion characteristic. How was the gene of the Saintess of Destruction obtained in the first place?
And this self-destructive approach without a second thought, the Destruction Race must be incredibly fertile, right?
Otherwise, how have they not gone extinct by now?
The overwhelming flames, using the Gorging Giant Beast's flesh as fuel, intensified and transformed from an orange-red to a pale blue, with the color deepening.
At the center of the flames, the body of the Gorging Giant Beast gradually became "shriveled," thin and small, finally turning into a pile of black charcoal, with everything consumable burnt away, leaving only a faint pure purple amidst the charcoal.
"It's a Purple Magic Crystal! And judging by its concentration and luster, it's of the highest quality kind!" someone exclaimed, "I've lived over three hundred years, and I've only seen such magic crystals three times!"
The better the magic crystals, the more astonishing their effects, and even Purple Magic Crystals have significant differences; based on their quality, the upper limit of compressed Spiritual Power varies as well.
At this moment, looking at that Purple Magic Crystal, everyone within the Golden Light Zone felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.
