Chapter 1594: Be More Interesting
The controller of the skeleton army was actually an incredibly skinny person. He had an ugly appearance, looking like some sort of life form that had suffered badly from malnutrition. In truth, he was an alien from the bone race. He wouldn't have been able to command the army of skeletons otherwise.
He was a fifth-stage Saint, and due to his feeble life force, it was extremely hard for a regular person to sense his presence. The fact that Xiang Shaoyun had discovered him filled him with fury.
"I'm surprised that you can detect me, but don't think that you can defeat me just by finding me. Kill!" said the alien with a sneer as a dreadful skeleton appeared from the ground beneath him. That was actually the skeleton of a dragon. From its appearance, it seemed to be a peak Saint Realm skeleton.
Mounted atop the skeleton dragon, the alien charged Xiang Shaoyun. The skeleton dragon swatted at Xiang Shaoyun with its claw while the alien shot out several bone arrows, all aiming for Xiang Shaoyun's vitals.
"Is this all your strength? How boring. Devouring Ghost, you deal with him," said Xiang Shaoyun with a bored expression.
Devouring Ghost stepped forth, followed by a bloody figure that charged at the alien and his mount.
"My blood demon is enough to deal with them," said Devouring Ghost confidently.
He had nurtured the blood demon for a very long time. It had reached the Great Saint Realm and was an extremely powerful clone of Devouring Ghost's. Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything as he continued scanning his surroundings with his eyes. Before his gaze, nothing could hide.
"There are a lot of broken weapons in this area. Feel free to search around and collect any that are suitable for you," Xiang Shaoyun reminded the group.
He did not care about the weapons in the area. Rather, his gaze was focused on a deep abyss far away from him. He could feel a terrifying life form in the abyss. At this time, some other people were heading toward the abyss.
These were the cultivators who had just entered the battlefield. There were quite a lot of them. At over 30 people, they had even more people than Xiang Shaoyun's group. Each of them had an impressive strength.
"Based on the records, this abyss contains a large number of divine treasures. Everyone, be careful. There are definitely some aliens occupying this abyss," said the leader of the group.
"Something seems off about the abyss, but with our strength, no aliens can be our match," said a different person confidently.
The group rushed straight into the abyss. However, all sounds of activity ceased after they entered the abyss, as though all of them had vanished. None of them could be seen leaving the abyss either.
"What an odd place," muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself.
He then activated the Sky Measuring Step and approached the abyss.
Instead of landing, he gazed upon the abyss with his divine dao eyes. Instantly, he saw a terrifying spinning black hole with a pair of ghostly, pulsing eyes. Waves of a bloody aura started spreading out.
The pair of eyes seemed to have noticed Xiang Shaoyun's gaze. A dreadful suction force erupted from the black hole and enveloped Xiang Shaoyun. The suction force was no weaker than the strength of a pseudo-God. A regular Great Saint would probably have a hard time resisting it.
"Let me see just what kind of monster you are," muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he stopped resisting and allowed the suction force to pull him down.
The moment he entered the crater, a clump of fire surrounded his body. With his divine dao eyes fully active, he instantly discovered a massive fellow. The black hole was actually that fellow's mouth. Corrosive liquid could be seen roiling within the mouth. Even a pseudo-God would be instantly corroded into nothingness upon falling into the liquid.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to drop into the liquid, he pushed his palm out, unleashing a fiery palm that dropped into the black mouth. At the same time, his body stabilized and stopped falling.
The big fellow that looked like a toad finally moved. The black liquid in his mouth sprayed out and blocked the flaming palm. The flame was instantly extinguished, showcasing just how terrifying the liquid was.
"What a strong fellow. Only with an opponent like this will things be more interesting," said Xiang Shaoyun in excitement as he finally readied himself for a fight.
Without any hesitation, he released a blast of primal chaos lightning, bombarding his opponent with the power of extreme yang. The bombardment caused the big fellow to scream miserably.
Next, Xiang Shaoyun chopped at his opponent repeatedly with the side of his palm, shredding apart the big fellow's mouth. In truth, the aliens weren't as scary as the rumors say. They only seemed scary due to their unique abilities. So long as one found a way to restrain their abilities, one would be able to kill them. That was the conclusion Xiang Shaoyun had reached after several confrontations.
"Vile human. You're actually this strong? Everyone, stop hiding. Come out and kill this kid. We have been waiting for so long. We must leave this time. Nobody can stop us!" the alien toad suddenly called out.
The alien toad was known as a devouring beast. He could devour and digest everything in existence, including the most valuable of weapons. That was why the previous group had vanished completely upon entering the abyss. They had all been devoured.
Several aliens charged out of the abyss, every one of them no weaker than a Great Saint. This could be considered a powerful group of aliens. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun's people rushed over as well.
"There are some aliens here. You guys work together against them," said Xiang Shaoyun as he retreated back to the group.
These aliens were strong. Even Xiang Shaoyun would need to use a lot of his strength to take them down. Was he sending his people to their deaths by letting them deal with the aliens?
At this time, Liu Qingchen laughed heartily and said, "We'll deal with them."
He was a pseudo-God. With his strength, he was completely capable of contending against the aliens. In fact, he alone could handle the strongest of the aliens, the devouring beast. Devouring Ghost was no weakling either. As a peak Great Saint almost at the pseudo-God Realm, he could deal with a pseudo-God himself.
As for the other aliens, they were left for Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, Lu Xiaoqing, and Xia Liuhui. None of them held back as they all erupted with strength and charged at the aliens.
"Only by doing so will you be able to contend against the coming alien invasion," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh. He then formed his Three Lives Fist and punched at the abyss.
