Is Opening the Second Stage Meant for Escape

It didn't take long for Qingtai to lose his smile.

He watched as you darted back and forth among the Dragonkin soldiers and a massive horde of Water Demons, your body growing larger and your destructive power increasingly terrifying.

Eventually, just your passing over the ocean surface generated enough wind pressure to cleave the seawater apart!

Qingtai's face could no longer maintain its composure.

"What the fuck is going on! How is this guy getting bigger the more he fights! Is he really human?! Oh... I get it! It's a special human physique!"

Qingtai actually didn't underestimate his enemy at all.

He had his subordinates test the waters just to see what made you so special.

After observing for a while, he felt that if he kept watching, he might not be able to beat you anymore.

He had to make a move!

"Fucking Flash!!"

A towering green light suddenly erupted from Qingtai's body, instantly scattering the clouds in the sky. The terrifying shockwave deformed the ocean surface thousands of meters below.

The Dragonkin soldiers around him were all blown away by the residual force.

The green light converged into a single beam, bending down from the high sky and crashing straight toward you.

Your surroundings lit up with a red vision.

But you weren't afraid in the slightest!

"Pay for the lives of the Wang family!"

Your sanity dropped again, while your strength and size surged once more!

With your Qilin Arm leading the way, you tanked the attack head-on and charged upward!

"Bang!!!"

You punched Qingtai straight into the bottom of the sea, kicking up a massive wave over a thousand meters high. The roaring tsunami shook the heavens and the earth!

You also unleashed a similar move.

"Star-Shattering Wave Finger!"

It was no longer appropriate to describe this move as a "finger" attack.

You fired continuously with all ten fingers, the golden beams of light merging into a solid sheet. From afar, it looked like the Milky Way falling from the highest heavens, blotting out the sky and leaving no path for survival.

Large sections of the seawater were evaporated by your attack, turning into boundless white mist that rolled outward.

Qingtai fled frantically across the ocean floor.

With your sanity lowered, the accuracy of your moves had somewhat declined.

It didn't matter.

"Crow Number One is in position!"

You had the immortal artifact, the Nine Crows Divine Bow, which could track enemies on its own without needing to be aimed!

Under your relentless assault, the grand Earth Exalt of the Dragonkin Expeditionary Force was reduced to a stray dog, even resorting to burrowing through the earth to escape.

Yet, even if he fled to the heavens or dove into the earth, you relentlessly pursued him.

You were like a humanoid bulldozer, crushing all obstacles in your path, with only one target in mind: Earth Exalt Qingtai!

"The tables have truly turned!"

Outside the simulation, Chen Yi felt a profound sense of emotion as he read this.

Thinking back to the grand finale of the fourth simulation.

He had been hunted down miserably by a Dragonkin who also held the title of Earth Exalt.

If it weren't for Black Wind, he would have been instantly killed on the spot.

In the end, he still died at the hands of an Earth Exalt.

Although these two were not the same Earth Exalt, considering they shared the same rank, the gap in their strength shouldn't be too large.

Now, in this fifth simulation, the roles of attacker and defender had reversed; the one being hunted was the Earth Exalt!

Earth Exalt Qingtai had all the fight chased out of him. Several parts of his body had been shattered by you multiple times.

But every time, he would pull out a bottle of thick, yellowish-green liquid and gulp it down.

Then, his body would slowly begin to regenerate.

Although the speed wasn't fast, as the fight dragged on, he managed to recover most of his injuries.

"Enough! Just because an Earth Exalt holds back, do you take me for a lowly foot soldier?!"

Qingtai scattered beads like a spell casting soldiers, throwing out a massive handful of Water Spirit Pearls. Countless giant Water Demons instantly rose from the sea.

He blended into their ranks, using the Water Demons to interfere with your pursuit while taking the opportunity to execute a secret technique.

"Today, I will show you the Super Soul Combat Art exclusive to us Earth Exalts!"

Hu Chacha provided you with intelligence.

"Be careful, My Lord! The so-called Super Soul Combat Art burns soul power and lifespan in exchange for a temporary boost in cultivation realm! Only a very small number of Dragonkin can master this technique!"

Then you understood.

In other words, only those Dragonkin Martial Sages who had mastered the Super Soul Combat Art and could temporarily enter the Martial God realm were eligible to be titled Earth Exalts.

To put it another way, if a Dragonkin Expeditionary Force had three Heaven Exalts and ten Earth Exalts, that meant they had three permanent Martial Gods and ten wartime Martial Gods!

"I have to kill one here, otherwise the pressure will be too great..."

From Qingtai's body ahead, a semi-transparent soul form emerged—it was his own soul.

This soul form began to burn, becoming blindingly radiant.

A green halo also appeared around Qingtai's body, expanding and contracting rhythmically.

"Who doesn't know how to transform!"

The enemy entered his second phase, so you did too—Three Heads and Six Arms!

Qingtai let out a furious roar.

"Come on! Today, you and I! We will fucking determine who is superior! And we will fight to the death! Invincible Demonic Howl Wave!!"

You braced yourself, ready to take an attack from a Martial God head-on.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Qingtai completely vanished from the spot.

He flew away at an unimaginable speed.

The group of Dragonkin soldiers holding "showerheads" and still spraying black smoke were left dumbfounded.

You turned to look at a nearby Dragonkin soldier.

"Did he just run away?"

"It... it seems so..."

"So, the Invincible Demonic Howl Wave is an escape move?"

"There... there is no such move at all..."

You: "..."

When other bosses enter their second phase, it's to put pressure on the players.

When Qingtai entered his second phase, it was just to run away.

Leaving you standing there messy in the wind, so exasperated that you actually laughed out of anger.

Qingtai had escaped, but the hundred or so "engineers" under his command were about to suffer.

"Die!!"

You slaughtered all of these Dragonkin.

You tossed the Dragon Pearls to Black Wind to eat.

You collected all their souls into the Myriad Soul Banner for purification.

"Black Wind, how are you holding up?"

"I'm fine, Boss. I can still use the Shadow of Chasing the Sun."

After eating some Dragon Pearls, Black Wind recovered quickly, but you could tell he still had some internal injuries.

"Forget it, I'll travel on my own. If they have more of these things up ahead, you'll just get hurt again."

Soon, you learned from the purified Dragonkin souls that there really were Demonic Sealing Nets up ahead.

"What is the purpose of these nets you're making?"

"Reporting to My Lord! They are used to lock down the mortal qi, preventing it from flowing, so that you cannot recover your energy during battle."

Your pupils contracted.

The technology of the Dragonkin was far too extensive.

"Then how do you recover yourselves?"

"We can absorb the energy within our Spirit Pearls."

"Does that mean we can absorb the worldly essence within the crystal stones?"

"Yes, which is exactly why the damned Dragonkin attacked the Wang family of the Chaotic Crystal Sea first! Their goal was to destroy this largest crystal repository! Hmph, but they never expected that My Lord, wise and mighty, had already distributed the crystals to various parts of the human realm in advance! So the Dragonkin army completely abandoned their plan to use the Chaotic Crystal Sea as their primary base. Instead, they split their forces into two paths: one attacking the mainland, and the other attacking the star regions."

"They plan to annihilate our main resistance forces as quickly as possible, without giving us a single moment to catch our breath!" ]

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures.

However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
