Chapter 337: You Have a Second Phase?!
At the same time, in the sea area before Devil Island.
Boom! Boom!
The Blackfin Crew's reinforcements arrived, the navy's steam warships activated, and the entire sea became a battlefield filled with cannon fire.
Boom!
The Black Sea Elephant's massive body crashed against the Great Shark Battleship's barrier, shaking the very earth and mountains.
The Black Sea Elephant could utilize seawater to create powerful whirlpools, its skin as solid as mountain ranges, truly a walking natural disaster.
The navy soldiers struggled to resist, never imagining that a single Black Sea Elephant could cause such tremendous impact on their fleet.
"Tiger Shark General, this black giant elephant is a mobile natural disaster! We simply cannot withstand it!"
"General, we must immediately assault the island! We need to fight on land!"
The navy soldiers looked around - the dark, twisted blood-eyed sea beasts were increasing in number.To counter the naval forces, the Blackfin Crew had prepared numerous distorted and mutated sea beast monsters.
"And what is this little thing!"
Meanwhile, in the intense naval battlefield, there was also a large water spirit riding atop a Coastal Apex Predator's head, commanding the predator to weave through the chaotic battlefield, continuously devouring high spiritual energy items to alleviate the intense hunger in the Coastal Apex Predator's heart.
Sea beasts danced wildly, the entire battlefield in complete chaos.
This thick-skinned brute... Tiger Shark General stabbed at the elephant's leg with his Whale-Hunting Spear while asking:
"Disaster Messenger, do we currently have confidence to assault the island?"
Disaster Messenger Rose touched her temple, able to sense a powerful, frenzied spiritual energy:
"Possible, but after landing, we might face a maddened mutated monster..."
"A monster? What's happening on Devil Island!"
Tiger Shark General urgently asked.
"It's Cup Release, and it's unrestrained Cup Release. A Blood Demon is highly likely transforming into the Blood Disaster that appeared in Moonstone City's history."
Disaster Messenger frowned. In her spiritual vision, bright red spiritual energy was continuously erupting like a volcanic explosion in the distance.
This was typical frenzied spiritual energy and monstrous profession. Without effective control, it could very likely give birth to a human-shaped natural disaster.
...
On Devil Island.
Fen used her staff to block the shockwaves before her.
The Witch Relic of the Cup was essentially a piece of flesh that could continuously regenerate and multiply. For a Blood Demon, it was undoubtedly an excellent Cup Release material!
Blood Demon Doctor Joseph raised his head, his pristine sculpted body enveloped by massive amounts of blood.
Shockwaves rolled over his body, his already burly frame expanding further, his entire person reaching a full three meters in height. Sculpted muscles bulged, flesh and bones intercrossed like a king's crimson armor - unstoppable!
Blood Demon Doctor spread his arms, lifted his head, adopting a posture praising the moon, loudly declaring:
"Cup Release. Undying, Unbreakable Body!!"
Boom! The blood instantly solidified, transforming into part of his body!
At this moment, in terms of pure physical strength alone, he could now directly face the hundred-meter tall deep-sea titan!
Blood Demon Doctor's eyes were completely crimson as he said with a smile:
"What a marvelous feeling."
Speed, power, agility all increased by more than tenfold, reaching an entirely new level... Chen Qi held his breath, adopting a defensive posture.
Terrifying power poured forth from Blood Demon Doctor Joseph's body!
Boom!
Blood Demon Doctor suddenly charged forward, swinging his one-and-a-half-meter long pale arm toward Chen Qi.
No extra techniques, no qi force attachment - purely a swinging arm punch!
This was Cup Release - pure stat power!
Boom! Instantly, power erupted, Chen Qi's body being blasted back a hundred meters by the force!
Among legends, the strength of one's Release could determine victory or defeat... Fen gripped her staff, blood blossoms emerging on her skin, preparing to unleash her own Release.
"Useless! Useless! Witch!"
Crack! Fen's staff was instantly knocked away!
Blood Demon Doctor stood before Fen at speeds barely visible to the naked eye, pointing his fingertip at Fen's eyes:
"Witch, you seem to be a Blood Blossom Disease patient. I've heard that when Blood Blossom patients die, if planted in the earth, their corpses grow flowers, and the flower petals drift toward their beloved ones..."
"If I made you into a specimen and planted you in the earth, where would your petals drift toward, Witch?"
Blood Demon Doctor smiled, enjoying this game, his sharp fingernails slowly piercing into Fen's eyeballs, anticipating her screams.
However, facing the pain in her eyes, Fen's face showed no fear, instead coldly curling her lips:
"Farewell, scum..."
"?"
Blood Demon Doctor turned his head, his gaze immediately drawn to a dark, straight thin line.
In mid-air, a closed illusory door materialized, slowly opening with creaking sounds.
Chen Qi suppressed his ravenous appetite and the buzzing in his head, raising his index finger:
"Shadow Release. Abyssal Hand."
As the words fell, the illusory door resembling black mist slowly opened, cracking open to reveal a ferocious giant maw filled with sharp teeth, arms, black hair, and eyes. Inside the door, countless arms twisted and intertwined, forming an even more massive hand.
As the door cracked open, a gigantic hand extended from the door, opening its palm, slowly reaching toward the Blood Demon Doctor.
"The Abyssal Hand of shadow affinity..."
Little Crow looked astonished.
This was a very famous Release technique among shadow affinities. Essentially, it connected to an ancient A-tier dimensional rift, using spiritual energy to lure out a terrifying monster from an A-tier rift, making it appear in the mortal world as a killing move!
However, to study this technique, one had to withstand immense mental pressure. It was said that in the Sea God Pirates, numerous Transcendents had gone mad from studying this technique.
According to White Pigeon Times news, Black Hunter had just recently advanced - how could he master this Release so quickly?
Could Black Hunter possess powerful mental talent... Little Crow gritted her teeth, boldly speculating.
Boom! Boom!
The massive Abyssal Hand descended from the sky, slowly reaching toward the Blood Demon Doctor on the ground.
Blood Demon Doctor Joseph's golden hair fluttered wildly in the sea breeze. His consciousness tried to evade this move, but his body transmitted an intense oppressive sensation, preventing him from moving even an inch.
"Can't move..."
Blood Demon Doctor could only lift his head, quietly awaiting the Abyssal Hand's arrival!
Boom!
The Abyssal Hand descended, grasping the three-meter tall Blood Demon Doctor like a meatball, holding him in its palm!
Countless twisted red-haired arms, dark specters rushed toward the Blood Demon Doctor's Cup Release body!
Heaven-shaking wails emerged from within the hand!
Boom!
Accompanied by a massive wail, the Abyssal Hand slowly dissipated like extinguished flames!
Everyone widened their eyes, watching the scene before them.
As the flames dissipated, only the Blood Demon Doctor's shattered, broken body remained, his proud perfect physique now riddled with holes, fragile and vulnerable.
"We won!"
Little Crow cheered happily, unable to resist celebrating.
I should probably gag her... Chen Qi glanced at Little Crow, pressed his throat, and looked toward the current Blood Demon Doctor.
Amid the black flames, the Blood Demon Doctor resembled dried-out firewood, staring blankly at Chen Qi.
Dead? Chen Qi maintained as much caution as possible.
However, the next second, the Blood Demon Doctor's crimson eyeballs twitched slightly, his nearly destroyed body beginning to slowly recover.
Blood Demon Doctor curled his lips, smiling triumphantly:
"What a pity, my Release was superior..."
His Cup Release body had withstood this Release from another world!
This was the perfect body within the Blood Disaster!
Moreover, with just a bit of legendary blood, his body could return to perfect condition again.
Blood Demon Doctor spread his arms, twisted his neck, looking toward Fen and Black Hunter.
Their faces already showed obvious thirst for blood desire.
In fear, bloodthirsty desires would be stimulated, leading to madness.
Especially Black Hunter - Blood Demon Doctor could sense that Black Hunter's desire for blood had reached its peak!
Just needed a little time, a slight delay, waiting for them to lose rationality...
The victory equation was set!
However, soon the Blood Demon Doctor noticed something wrong.
Why? There was no fear in Black Hunter's eyes, no fear of a loser!
Instead, the crimson desire in his eyes grew increasingly intense!
"As expected, still need to activate second stage..."
Chen Qi's beast-like gaze fixed intently on the Blood Demon Doctor before him, then drank down the blood demon potion left behind by the Dragon Tamer King.
Second stage? What does this mean? Blood Demon Doctor looked confused.
Could it be that Chen Qi, who just finished releasing his Release, had other moves?
Meanwhile, the witch beside him, though there was fear in her eyes, the object of fear wasn't him!
Fen pursed her lips, holding her staff, softly saying:
"Blood Demon Doctor, you should have died earlier..."
She and Chen Qi had formulated a Plan B, and the cost of this Plan B was her.
Huh? Blood Demon Doctor tilted his head.
The chief researcher of Devil Island, creator of Goldenfinch Kingdom's Bat Night, wanted criminal with former bounty exceeding two hundred million, having activated Release and reached the upper stages of the Blood Demon Codex!
Right now, in these two people's eyes, he was just someone who could be casually crushed to death?
Gulp! Gulp!
Chen Qi drank the potion in one go, crimson power transmitting through his throat to his entire body.
His body developed numerous bright red patterns, while the blue spider pattern on his back instantly turned crimson, then bulged out...
His body was accepting the blood demon's power!
For him who possessed Monster's Desire, just a bit of potion plus a bit of wildness could touch a brand new monstrous form.
This was the strength of his profession.
However, this state was still too dangerous, too prone to madness...
Even with Monster's Desire and the Lamp Keeper's rationality talent, they could only suppress the final mutation, not the frenzied desires.
Chen Qi no longer suppressed the ravenous hunger within, releasing it fully.
"Fight!"
Chen Qi opened his saliva-filled mouth, his eyes turning completely bloodshot.
Whether Blood Demon Doctor, Little Crow, or other curious researchers, in that instant, they all averted their eyes, avoiding directly looking at Chen Qi.
"You can still transform... into a blood demon? Blood demon is an extremely easy-to-lose-control profession."
Blood Demon Doctor took a step back.
Blood demon was a monstrous profession - without proper guidance, it was no different from playing with fire.
"Still need a bit of legendary blood..."
Chen Qi said quietly.
Fen held her staff, lifted her head, adopting a defensive posture:
"Qi, calm down... a bit..."
What was calm?
The next instant, in a brief moment too short to even breathe, Chen Qi suddenly appeared behind Fen, then opened his teeth, mercilessly biting toward her delicate neck!
He still needed legendary blood to compensate for the massive spiritual energy loss from releasing Shadow Release!
Crunch! Crunch!
So painful, if I can't avoid it, might as well try to enjoy it... Fen didn't dodge, closing her eyes, enduring the pain.
Fortunately, she had eaten herbs beforehand, storing some life energy.
"Huh?"
"Huh? Huh? Huh?"
Blood Demon Doctor Joseph looked confused, his entire body frozen in place, rationality gradually returning.
This, this isn't right!
Wasn't this his move?
Recovering power by sucking others' blood - this was his privilege as a blood demon!
Gulp! Gulp!
The rationality in Chen Qi's eyes gradually faded. After absorbing blood, his body became increasingly powerful, while the dark-fire hands behind him completely turned blood-red!
Power was emerging!
The witch's blood tastes really good... The rationality in Chen Qi's eyes completely vanished, absorbing Fen's life energy.
Can't let him suck anymore! Blood Demon Doctor reached out, admonishing:
"Calm down a bit! Excessive blood thirst will only make you transform into a monster within the Blood Disaster!"
Blood demons easily go mad during blood absorption!
Even he didn't dare absorb so much blood within the Blood Disaster!
This would lead to madness, turning the hunter before him into a frenzied blood disaster!
That's legendary blood... Blood Demon Doctor Joseph quickly stepped forward, attempting to stop Chen Qi.
"Stop, maintain rationality, Black Hunter!"
However, it was already too late.
The next instant, the blood-red dark-fire hands behind Chen Qi, like spider legs, accelerated his movement, rapidly flashing before Blood Demon Doctor Joseph, aiming at the doctor's head, chest, abdomen...
Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!
The dark-fire hands struck continuously like a torrential downpour!
Pure, unpatterned continuous strikes!
Blood Demon Doctor immediately counterattacked, eyes filled with astonishment - even after activating Cup Release, he was being suppressed in both power and speed!
"Calm down, hunter!"
Blood Demon Doctor roared.
Suddenly, he discovered a blind spot!
The monster before him had scattered rationality, merely purely venting power!
And power could be reduced by technique!
Blood Demon Doctor took a deep breath, circulated qi force, attempting to use advanced combat techniques like borrowing force to strike back, force dispersion to stop Chen Qi's crimson continuous strikes!
Under the Blood Demon Doctor's control, though inferior in power, with technique enhancement, he still withstood Chen Qi's continuous strikes!
Victory of technique! Blood Demon Doctor Joseph continuously circulated qi force, defending against Chen Qi's attacks, inwardly cheering.
However, the next instant, something terrifying happened.
The crimson in the monster's eyes before him transformed into a flowing light, his blood-filled mouth attempting to bite his neck!
And his back was still mutating!
The original twelve dark-fire hands, plus two more, additionally grew eight blood tentacle arms!
New blood tentacles suddenly burst from the hunter's back. Under the Blood Disaster's power, these tentacles were ferocious, powerful, incomprehensible!
Total twenty-two hand high-speed continuous strikes!
The three-meter tall Blood Demon Doctor with True Blooder body appeared pitifully weak before Chen Qi, like a bat that could be casually crushed to death!
"Mad, mad, completely mad, actually using mutation as cost! Attempting to defeat me!"
Blood Demon Doctor's blood and arms continuously launched attacks, attempting to awaken Chen Qi's rationality, block this frenzied assault!
Squelch!
However, his power wasn't enough.
Shatter you!
A blood light flashed. One of the dark-fire hands behind Chen Qi rose into the air, gathered power, and suddenly punched out, piercing through the Blood Demon Doctor's strong chest!
Boom!
Accompanied by a massive roar, the entire world seemed to instantly quiet down.
Now, everyone dared to lift their heads, looking at the battle's final outcome.
Drip! Drip!
Blood Demon Doctor lowered his head, looking at his bleeding heart, then lifted his head, gazing into the hunter's crimson eyes.
In Black Hunter's blood-colored pupils reflected a human face - a terrified, trembling golden-haired human face.
At this moment, he couldn't quite distinguish who was the true blood demon.
