Chapter 195: Why Is It Legendary?
The Legendary Ant grew larger and soon surpassed a mountain. It then kept growing. At the same time, it lifted one leg, planning to step into the Soaring Cloud City.
The Legendary Ant shouted, “I originally planned to keep more humans as slaves, but I’ve changed my mind. All of you will die. If you want to hate someone, hate this God of Slaughter!”
At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck down. The lightning temporarily lit the dim world. When the people of the Soaring Cloud City saw the gigantic and terrifying Ant, they panicked and fled in all directions.
Not long ago, a gigantic human had destroyed the Ants’ nest with one foot. Now, gigantic Ants wanted to destroy the human city with one foot.
However, Wei Huo’s cold gaze was fixed on the Ant Race’s Legendary creature. The Legendary Ant’s heart skipped a beat.
Why was he so calm?
The Legendary being of the Ant Race was still growing. However, at that moment, an endless black aura appeared on the ground. It was the aura of nirvanic extermination, which was hidden in deep darkness and was difficult to detect. At that moment, the aura of nirvanic extermination immediately shrouded the Ant Race’s Legendary being.
Suddenly, another bolt of lightning struck down. The sky and earth lit up briefly. The Ants realized that they were surrounded by an endless black aura. This black aura was like a cage that completely covered them without leaving a single crack.
“What is this?” The Legendary Ant was shocked. It did not understand why it had been enveloped by this weird black aura in the blink of an eye.
Wei Huo said calmly, “This is my domain.”
The black aura shrank and turned into sharp swords that pierced the Legendary being of the Ant Race.
The black sword became more solid. It was more realistic than the black fish from before, and its damage output was stronger. After the sword pierced the Legendary being of the Ant Race, the Legendary Ant suddenly felt an aura of nirvanic extermination fill its body. Its body then started emitting a rotten smell, and its soul felt like it was being continuously bitten. It was in extreme pain.
“That’s impossible. We’re both Legendary beings. Why are you so powerful?” The Legendary Ant could not believe it. Wei Huo was too powerful. It could not resist such a domain.
That was the difference between a Legendary creature and a real Legendary creature helped by the system. With the help of the system, a creature would only experience a few battles and condense a trace of its own aura. Then, the system would help it become Rare. After comprehending a false imposing aura for a long time, the system would help the creature become Epic. Finally, as long as the creature determined its path and took the first step, the system would help it become a Legendary creature.
With the help of the system, Wei Huo only needed to complete half of the upgrade. The remaining half would be completed by the system.
For example, when a university student graduated and went to work, the company would say that they would have to pay half of their retirement and health insurance with their own money, and the country would pay for the other half.
That also applied to the Ant Race’s Legendary creature. However, the system had saved its energy, so its Legendary Realm was not as strong as Wei Huo’s Legendary Realm. It could not utilize its domain as easily as Wei Huo could.
That was why it was no match for Wei Huo.
Countless black swords pierced the Legendary being of the Ant Race. Its body started shrinking. The black aura of nirvanic extermination was too terrifying. It could destroy bodies and devour souls.
The aura of nirvanic extermination turned into a cage and trapped the Ant Race’s Legendary being. Wei Huo picked up the broken bronze sword that had been thrown away by the Ant Race’s Legendary being. Although the sword was broken, it still contained an indomitable aura. This was a kind of aura that could only allow one survivor. One could imagine how brilliant its owner was.
With the broken bronze sword in hand, Wei Huo felt indomitable will and fearlessness. The sword existed along with the person, so one’s death spelled doom for the other.
The sword had already condensed its own imposing aura and carved its own Dao pattern. That was why it was not suitable for Wei Huo. At most, it could give him some inspiration to forge a Dao weapon.
At that moment, the Legendary Ant did not even have the time to scream. It was resisting the aura of nirvanic extermination with all its might. It had been in the Legendary stage for a long time, and its mental strength was very strong. That was why it could barely resist the aura of nirvanic extermination.
As a result, the world entered a momentary silence.
Dark clouds covered the sky, but there was no lightning or thunder. The wind had stopped, and everyone was looking outside the city.
They were so nervous that they even forgot to turn on the lights. Because no one dared to make a sound, the voice-controlled lights did not light up either.
Every place inside and outside the city was pitch-black and silent. It was as if the whole world had returned to nothingness.
It was terrifying.
No one knew who had won. Neither Wei Huo’s voice nor the voice of the Legendary Ant of the Ant Race was heard outside the city.
They had only seen a gigantic monster under light of the lightning. Then, they had seen the monster get shrouded by darkness.
Although the second lightning bolt had followed the first one closely, the aura of nirvanic extermination had completely shrouded the Ant Race’s Legendary being. They could not see anything because the aura of nirvanic extermination was as dark as night.
“Did the monster leave?” someone asked softly.
“What’s wrong with the Epic-ranked human?” Someone was worried.
“Is anyone willing to go out and take a look?”
The city suddenly became silent. No one spoke. No one was willing to leave the Soaring Cloud City. It was as if the outside area of the Soaring Cloud City was empty. They would disappear completely if they went out.
Normal people did not know what was happening outside, but one could see everything outside the city clearly from the war room in the armored city wall. Zhao Pingfan had already arrived.
Through the night-vision camera, everyone saw the entire battle outside.
“This footage is 50 times slower.”
A short video appeared on the screen on the side. The video was jumping from frame to frame, but it was lagging a lot. Everyone saw that the Ant confronting Wei Huo in the pitch-black night sky had suddenly started growing larger and larger. However, when its body surpassed the size of a mountain, countless black Qi shrouded the Ant.
Then, the Ant seemed to disappear. Although the night-vision camera could observe the surroundings, it could not see through the aura of nirvanic extermination. The area was shrouded in darkness, so nothing could be seen.
Zhao Pingfan said, “That won’t do. The quality of the camera is too low. After we carry out the Heaven Peak Plan, we will have to carry out the Space-Traveling Plan. If we can’t observe the situation outside the city with precision, we will be blind in the universe.”
One of Zhao Pingfan’s subordinates took a step forward. “For some reason, we can’t detect the Epic-ranked human or the enemy with radar detection or sound detection. It’s as if they don’t exist!”
Zhao Pingfan frowned. “Are you saying that if an Epic-ranked human had not appeared, we would not even have been able to find the enemy in the Soaring Cloud City?”
Everyone was silent. This was an undeniable truth. If there had been no Epic-ranked human, the Soaring Cloud City might not have existed.
At that moment, a staff member monitoring the situation outside the city said, “Reporting! The black fog outside the city has disappeared. Our enemy seems to have vanished!”
Everyone was shocked. Zhao Pingfan immediately asked, “Where is the Epic-ranked human?”
