After bypassing the huge Star City, Rhodes and Jessica walked in the thick black fog for another half an hour before arriving at their destination, the canyon known as the Scar of Death.
However, when Rhodes saw it, he realized that it was not a canyon, but a cracked earth.
This unprecedented chasm is thousands of yards wide and reaches as far as the eye can see. The huge chasm is like a devouring demon and seems to reach into the bottomless abyss.
Jessica glanced at the astrolabe.
"It's here. There are powerful soul-eating demons lurking in the canyon. They are the terrifying products of the evolution of the black mist itself. They are always active and are very sensitive to changes in psychic energy. They are threats that must be eliminated."
Rhodes looked at the amazing rift valley in front of him and exclaimed: "This is really a wonder created by nature."
Jessica shook her head slightly: "It may not have been formed naturally. Some of the details in the intelligence sent back by the Survey Corps have attracted the attention of scholars in the Royal City. They believe that this may be related to the battle that destroyed Star City 1,500 years ago. It's related, but it's not certain, so we're here with a side mission, which is to investigate the rift valley if circumstances permit."
In his mind, Asa suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, great successor of Yuantian God, have you noticed? There is a strong smell of pollution and corrosion remaining on every cliff section in the rift valley. This is of course not natural. What was formed was a blow from the infinite power of darkness."
Rhodes frowned, he already knew what Asa wanted to say.
"Hahaha, do you realize how insignificant you are? You should restrain your arrogance. I don't want to see you die miserably so soon."
Rhodes said calmly: "Asa, if you have something to say, just say it directly. If you don't want this happy time to become painful."
Asa snorted coldly.
"Don't always threaten me with this. The great evil soul is not afraid of pain at all. I just keep my promise to you. I always believe that the world will eventually fall into darkness forever. No matter what I do, it will not change this. , then why can't I have some fun with you? Cough cough cough..."
Seeing that Rhodes had a tendency to enter dreams, he immediately said.
"This is obviously the ruins of a certain battlefield. In addition to the soul-eating demons formed from the black mist, you will also face monsters formed from the twisted and corrupted corpses of strong men."
Rhode's heart sank and he told Jessica what Asa said.
Jessica praised: "Little Rod, your thinking is really sharp. It is indeed possible. We must be careful."
She walked to the edge of the canyon and looked down.
"Let's go down from here. First we need to find our companions who are fighting here."
She took a deep leap and jumped directly into the bottomless canyon.
Rhodes followed immediately, and the thick black mist rolled around him. The strong erosion penetrated the protection of the red tear stone, and his humanity began to slowly decline.
"Drink the purifying potion."
Jessica's voice came to my ears.
Rhodes took out an empty bottle from his arms and dealt with it.
"Drink."
"Little Rod, I didn't hear the sound of liquid or swallowing. I know your soul resistance is very high, but at this time, don't save."
Rhodes could only take out a bottle of water from his dream and drink it.
"Very good. After landing, remember to follow my footsteps. We don't want to stay too long."
"I see."
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally landed.
With a click, mud splashed everywhere, and a strong putrid smell hit his face.
Jessica seemed not to smell it, and rushed forward in a flash.
Rhodes followed closely behind.
The canyon was extremely gloomy, and the black fog was far thicker than the ground. Rhodes' sight range was less than three hundred yards, but even so, he quickly discovered the monster in the canyon.
It was a giant that seemed to be made of black mud. Its body was melting and reorganizing, its facial features emitted a strong red light, and its red eyes were like two red-hot iron balls, which was very scary.
"Is this the Soul Eater?"
Rod briefly described what he saw.
Jessica's slender eyebrows slightly raised: "Yes, this is the Soul Eater. It is the purest black mist monster. It has super strong corruption and erosion capabilities, and it is extremely damaging to the soul. Therefore, it is Known as the Soul Eater."
"What is the purest black fog monster?"
"It is a monster born from the black mist based on its own nature, not according to other nature factors."
In my mind, the Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted: "They are symbionts, they are symbionts of the black mist!"
Rhodes suddenly realized that no matter what kind of monster, in the eternal silence, the final destination is the same.
Only monsters that have been corrupted to the extreme, monsters that have sunk into the deepest darkness, and monsters that have reached the final stage of erosion can be called symbionts. They are the terrifying guards of the black mist and have a special connection with the black mist.
After the source feedback spreads, all those who invade the dreamland are symbionts of the black mist.
Unexpectedly, he actually saw the real symbiote in the material world.
The Book of Knowledge shouted wildly: "Master, kill them, don't let any of them go. I have seen divinities, many divinities, the divinities that kill them, and the divinities that assist humans."
"No, that's not right. Book of the Future, look at the future of killing them."
The Book of the Future said dissatisfied: "My soul has not been restored. The Soul Eater is very powerful. Even if I use the master's spiritual energy, it will consume a lot of money for me."
"Shut up and use it."
The Book of the Future snorted dissatisfiedly and quickly turned the pages.
Rhodes felt his spiritual energy being quickly withdrawn.
After a moment, he gave the answer the Book of Knowledge wanted.
"I haven't seen the malignant future. Killing them will not further intensify the source feedback. There is divinity in the future and nightmare fuel. Well, there is a very small chance of obtaining nightmare gems."
The Book of Knowledge shouted: "Yes, I knew that killing the symbiote of the Black Mist would have nightmare fuel. Although this part of the memory is missing, I can know based on reasoning. After all the hard work to come to the battlefield of Star City, it turned out to be true. It’s the right choice.”
In the canyon, Rhodes hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when a powerful spiritual energy suddenly exploded around him. A tsunami-like wave of spiritual energy hit his face. Super powerful spiritual light soared into the sky, and a huge shadow emerged in the spiritual light.
It was at least a hundred yards tall, its body covered with cyan scales, and its six huge arms holding six giant swords.
When the aura fell, it turned out to be Jessica's awakened state, the six-armed snake demon.
In her terrifying body, incredibly powerful spiritual energy flows.
Rhode looked up at her and asked loudly: "Sister Jessica, are we ready to fight?"
"Yes."
Jessica's voice became strange, with a strange echo, like speaking in a cave.
"My gut tells me the battle is about to begin."
A clear bell rang, and she rang the bell of silence. The disturbance caused by the battle in this area would be reduced.
Just as Rhodes was about to speak, he saw a huge black shadow in front of him, rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Jessica's six arms were raised high and waved down violently.
There was a loud bang.
The giant sword collided with the black shadow, and the fluctuations caused by the super powerful psychic collision spread like lightning. The air seemed to have a muffled thunder, and the entire canyon flashed.
After a few seconds, Rhodes saw clearly that the black figure was the Soul Eater, and its arms held six giant swords like shields.
The six-armed snake demon screamed, and six giant swords rotated and chopped down like windmills.
The Soul Eater could only raise its arms to block, and the giant sword slashed at its arm, splashing black mud.
In just an instant, the six-armed snake demon suppressed it, and the powerful attack came like a storm, making the soul-eating demon's body tremble, its soul tremble, and its spiritual energy movement stagnated.
But the next moment, the red light on the Soul-Eating Demon's facial features flourished, and black corrosive aura spurted out from its body.
"careful!"
This was another voice, coming from behind the Soul Eater.
Rhodes turned around and was surprised to find that this was an old acquaintance.
Chief instructor, elite knight captain Sauron.
During the Hidden Branch period, it was he who taught Rhodes basic combat, and it was he who led Rhodes' initial growth.
I didn't expect to see him here.
However, Rhodes remembered it very clearly. Wasn't he a second-level combatant?
Sauron rushed in from a distance. He looked very embarrassed. His armor was in tatters and spattered with mud. His helmet was half broken. There was a penetrating wound on his thigh. He was only briefly bandaged. His sword was broken. , he only held a half-broken sword.
"Jessica, that Soul Eater is very dangerous. Once it is at a disadvantage, it will try to devour your soul in position!"
But it was already too late. In the next moment, the red light on the Soul-Eating Demon's features shot out and landed on the six-armed snake demon.
Jessica's body shook, her six arms softened, and the six giant swords fell to the ground with a bang, and the sword blades hit the ground.
"Hurry up and help her!" Sauron shouted urgently: "Guardian Pavilion..."
He choked suddenly and his eyes widened.
"Rhode? Are you Rhodes? Why are you here? When did the Starry Sky City battlefield allow combat forces below first-level combatants to enter?"
But the next moment, he saw Rhodes's guardian robe and the triple flame logo on his collar.
Sauron was so surprised, as if his eyes were about to pop out.
"Rhode, you, have you been promoted to Guardian??"
Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Yes, Teacher Solon, how can I help her?"
Sauron suddenly came back to his senses: "We use the most powerful attack to hit its head to interrupt its devouring! Otherwise Jessica will fight it on the soul level, which is very dangerous."
Rhodes felt a chill in his heart and replied: "Okay."
Sauron shouted: "Don't use that psychic cannon of yours, don't use energy-based attacks, use strikes."
Rhodes decisively drew out his long sword Xingye and replied: "Okay!"
Sauron was shocked, and for the first time he discovered that his former student was completely different from before.
But the distracting thoughts passed in an instant. Sauron jumped up, holding the sword in both hands, and shouted loudly. A flash of light flashed on the dagger, and a forty-yard long giant sword appeared in his hand. Its blade was sharp and sparkling with cold light. It was not Psychic sword.
Rhodes took a deep breath, tiptoed, and rose into the air.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Asa sneer in his dream.
Rhodes frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Asa said coldly: "Look carefully at the head of the Soul-Eating Demon."
Rhodes concentrated and looked up, only to see the soul-eating demon's head flowing with spiritual energy. There was no flaw in it, and it was even thicker than the rest of its body.
Asa sneered and said: "Its head is the strongest defense point in its body. It is impossible for you to defeat such a strong psychic energy."
Rhodes frowned and said, "What's going on?"
The Book of Knowledge suddenly said: "I know! There are other powerful existences here, which have affected the Soul-Eating Demons and changed their weaknesses. No wonder I always feel that something is wrong with the Soul-Eating Demons here."
"Hahahahaha!"
Asa laughed wildly.
"I have seen a tragedy happen. This will be the most beautiful embellishment in my boring time. A powerful warrior died in the blink of an eye. Hahahahahaha, 'If there is one person who can save the world, That person must be me', that's the funniest joke I've ever heard, 'Undefeated' Jessica, hahahahaha."
The laughter continued, and even those who had always ignored Asa's Book of Knowledge became angry.
"Owner……"
But Rhodes remained calm. He turned the edge of his sword upside down and made a gash on his arm. Blood spurted out, staining his robe red.
"Don't worry, book, even the toughest one, I will break it."
Asa expressed his attitude with a more mocking laugh.
Rhodes ignored him, and with a thought, he touched the tenth star [Red Tears] in his soul.
boom!
Fierce flames spurted out from his soul and engulfed him immediately.
[Soul Burning]: Ignite the power of the soul, stimulate the inner potential, and greatly increase the strength of psychic energy.
Boom!
Rhodes' heart beat twice, as if it caused a vibration in the void, and his spiritual energy surged to an unprecedented degree.
The blood on his body quickly evaporated, and the flames became even more intense.
[Soul Burning]: Sprinkling more blood can greatly increase the intensity of [Soul Burning].
Huge psychic energy waves emanated from Rhodes' body. Due to its size, it seemed heavy and slow.
Sauron was shocked: "Rhodes, your spiritual power...has reached this level?"
Rhodes felt surging power in his body, as if there was infinite spiritual energy filling his soul.
"Teacher Solon, let's take action together."
"good."
Sauron put away his distracting thoughts and raised the forty-yard giant sword. The cold light on the sword spread out. He shouted loudly, and the giant sword broke through the air and slashed down with great force.
On the other side, Rhodes took another deep breath and gently touched the biggest star in his soul.
【Power of Titan】
For a moment, majestic spiritual energy rose up in Rhodes' body, like a tsunami flooding the world.
The moment it appeared, the flames of [Soul Burning] expanded rapidly, and more powerful spiritual energy flashed out of Rhodes.
Rhodes felt this unparalleled spiritual energy, concentrated it all in his hands, and transformed it into destructive power with the highest efficiency.
Advanced combat skills, soul blow!
brush!
The Xingye long sword slashed down with unimaginable power, and the aura on the sword's edge almost cut open the space.
boom!
Sauron's giant sword struck first, and the sharp blade collided with the Soul Eater's head, making a loud roar.
when.
The giant sword broke from it, shattered, and turned into powder.
Sauron's expression suddenly declined.
But in the next moment, Rhodes' sword arrived.
The Starry Night Sword was only a yard long, and compared to the giant sword, it was like an embroidery needle. But the moment its clear blade struck the Soul Eater, a white light flashed, and the heaven and earth seemed to be cut open, and the canyon seemed to be cut. It was broken in two, and the huge sword wave went straight down, cutting the Soul-Eating Demon in half, with its remaining strength intact, and penetrated straight into the ground.
A huge roar erupted, and dust flew within a thousand yards.
A gray air flew over.
[Soul of the Soul Eater]
【Extremely great soul】
[Have ten copies of nightmare fuel]
[This is the embodiment of the black mist, the projection of the essence, erosion, corruption, devouring, powerful, and indestructible. 】
Dark text flashed before his eyes, and Rhodes flew down.
The huge Soul Eater split into two halves and fell behind it.
Under his feet, a sword mark hundreds of yards long was opened.
Black dust rose up, and the six-armed snake demon suddenly woke up.
"What happened?"
