Chapter 76

He didn't understand why Hei Yue did it, nor did he have any doubts; if Hei Yue did it, it must be right.

It was that simple. For a mutant like him, who lacked high intelligence, he had always trusted the judgment of the intelligent members of his race.

As he watched the mutant being kicked away by Hei Yue, Heng Yi rushed forward and caught Hei Yue, quickly retreating while anxiously asking, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it didn't hit any vital spots," Hei Yue said, but her voice sounded very weak.

Seeing that her robes were pierced at the abdomen, with blood flowing continuously, Heng Yi didn't dare to linger for a moment. He carried Hei Yue and swiftly flew out of the Black Eagle's mouth.

Turning his head, he saw no sign of the Blood Sea mutant behind him.

Just as Heng Yi carried Hei Yue out, he saw Chen Zizai, Hu Baijie, Hai Shan, and Hai Yuntian standing in front of the Black Eagle's mouth.

Both sides were surprised and delighted to see each other, but there was no time to speak. As Chen Zizai's Fire Dance Clouds suddenly erupted inside the Black Eagle's mouth—

Hu Baijie, Hai Shan, and Hai Yuntian's Heavenly Wave spells exploded in the air, striking the Black Eagle's eyes.

The practitioners surrounding the Black Eagle used various spells and techniques, bombarding the Black Eagle from all directions, both near and far—

For a moment, countless spells of various colors erupted and burned on the Black Eagle's body.

The Black Eagle's mournful cries abruptly stopped, its massive body gradually fading, and finally turning into a swirling cloud of black ash.

Those who had acted immediately upon Xu Wenfeng's warning all managed to arrive in time, at least managing to hit the Black Eagle with their spells. However, those who reacted more slowly or hesitated could only watch their spells pass through the swirling black ash. Many others hadn't even gotten close enough to cast their spells, and they regretted it so much that they wanted to slap themselves!

The Blood Sea mutant was dead.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the prolonged battle was finally over.

In the air, Xu Wenfeng, who had transformed into a black dragon spirit beast, rapidly shrank back to his original form, his face showing signs of fatigue as he slowly descended.

"What's wrong with her?" Chen Zizai checked Hei Yue's injuries, relieved to see that she was not in mortal danger, but still puzzled. Could it be that Hei Yue had acted earlier than them and flown directly into the Black Eagle's mouth, knowing that Heng Yi was inside?

Hu Baijie scolded Heng Yi, "Why did you run into the Black Eagle's mouth! You should have run away then!"

"I thought it was safe there, I didn't expect the mutant to still exist in the spirit beast form."

Chen Zizai laughed, "It can. But in that state, the mutant and the spirit beast's powers are separate."

Heng Yi apologized to Hei Yue, "I was just about to use Instant Slash when you appeared. If I had known, I would have protected you. I'm really sorry."

"What does 'in battle, we share the same boat' mean?" Hei Yue smiled and asked. Heng Yi, remembering what Master Dayuan had taught him, replied, "In battle, we should help each other and work together."

"Did I do that?"

"Of course!" Heng Yi answered seriously.

"Then there's no need to apologize. I overestimated the mutant, thinking it was attacking you during the gap in your spell."

Seeing that she was fine, Heng Yi finally relaxed, but Hu Baijie and Chen Zizai frowned, puzzled by Hei Yue's willingness to risk her life to save Heng Yi.

"This training has truly broadened my horizons. It's finally over..." Hai Yuntian was filled with emotion. What he had once never dared to imagine had become a reality. Not only did he get to fight alongside the geniuses of the peak star system, but he also witnessed the first human genius, the terrifying power of the Celestial Venerable realm, and the brilliance of Heng Yi. He had gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Gate and the universe in which he lived.

The gains from this training made Hai Yuntian feel like a new person. What was once an unattainable honor now seemed less important to him.

The swirling black ash drifted into the crowd, settling on many people's hair, faces, and bodies.

After days and nights of intense fighting, their nerves were finally relaxed.

Hai Shan was also deeply moved, but her personality was different from Hai Yuntian's. She didn't remain silent in contemplation; instead, she expressed her gratitude by circling around Heng Yi. "I am very, very grateful to you. Thanks to you, I had the opportunity to participate in this training. I, Hai Shan, will remember your kindness. From now on, I am your friend, and if you need my help, I will do it without hesitation!"

Just as Heng Yi was about to respond, he saw Hai Shan's face change, her eyes fixed on the void.

Noticing the abnormality, they followed Hai Shan's gaze and heard many panicked shouts.

"The mutant is still alive!"

In the void, a mass of black ash had abnormally gathered into a sphere ten zhang in diameter.

Xu Wenfeng, who was descending, quickly drew his sword, and many people around him, hearing the commotion, tensed up and drew their swords.

Seeing the black mist suddenly glow red, Chen Zizai urgently shouted through the training bead, "Quick, retreat! It's the Despair Curse spell! The mutant, using its life and soul as a medium, creates cursed shadows, each with only two levels less power than itself, all at the Third Level Earth Venerable realm, and possessing the same spell abilities!"

The crowd panicked and scattered, but the red light from the black mist grew even brighter!

Those who knew about the Despair Curse couldn't believe it. Even Chen Zizai hadn't expected this situation.

The Despair Curse required a preparation time of half an hour, a suicidal spell. The Blood Sea mutant had only been casting the Blood Sea Shadow for about seventy breaths. Unless it had prepared to cast the Despair Curse before coming, it wouldn't have had enough time!

The cursed shadows created by the Despair Curse were powerful, and each could cast the Blood Sea Shadow and all other spells the mutant possessed. There were over a hundred of them!

A hundred Third Level Earth Venerable Blood Sea mutants, with the abnormal speed of the cursed shadows, if they all cast the Blood Sea Shadow and attacked the crowd, the result would be terrifying!

The red light in the gathered black ash suddenly erupted!

A hundred cursed shadows, identical to the Blood Sea mutant, flew in all directions toward the crowd that had only fled a few dozen zhang.

Xu Wenfeng used Five-Strike Slash to continuously kill over twenty Blood Sea mutants, but his large-scale killing technique, the Green Light Sword Qi, couldn't be used at this moment. With this level of spell, it was impossible to stop all the cursed shadows flying toward the practitioners!

The black-red light of the Blood Sea Shadow shone on each cursed shadow.

It only took seven breaths to activate the Blood Sea Shadow!

The faces of the fleeing practitioners were filled with fear—

Everyone could imagine the catastrophic results of so many Blood Sea Shadows being activated!

Hai Yuntian was fleeing, Hai Shan was fleeing, Chen Zizai and Hu Baijie were fleeing.

Their faces, as they turned back, were filled with fear, tension, and surprise.

Because Heng Yi wasn't fleeing.

"Heng Yi, run!" Chen Zizai shouted urgently.

But Heng Yi didn't turn back. He looked at the cursed shadows flying in from all directions. He knew that no one could escape the range of the Blood Sea Shadow, and at least half of the people wouldn't make it.

Each fleeing figure, with a face of terror, looked back at the approaching cursed shadows...

Seven breaths...

Heng Yi's mental state was still fatigued, and his reaction time was much slower, but he decided to charge forward!

'In battle, we share the same boat!'

Using Instant Slash, Heng Yi disappeared and reappeared behind the nearest cursed shadow. Chen Zizai and Hu Baijie's hearts leaped to their throats—

Seven breaths, how many could Heng Yi kill in seven breaths?

He would be surrounded by the remaining cursed shadows casting the Blood Sea Shadow, and would die instantly!

This wasn't a gamble; it was a suicidal act with no chance of survival!

If he fled, he would only be in the Blood Sea Shadow of a few cursed shadows, and with his faster speed, he might have a chance to survive.

But Heng Yi turned back and chose to take such a reckless risk.

This time, there was no time for Chen Zizai's orders or words.

Chen Zizai, Hu Baijie, Hai Yuntian, and Hai Shan all turned around and flew toward the nearest cursed shadows!

As they turned, they saw each other's reactions and decisions and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Joining them was the injured Hei Yue, whose actions surprised the four. They all knew their actions were foolish, incredibly foolish, but they understood each other. They had been foolish once before, and being foolish again was natural and默契.

But Hei Yue would also join them in such a foolish act?

Despite their surprise, at that moment, they no longer saw Hei Yue as a stranger but as someone they could trust.

As they turned, Chen Zizai shouted into the training bead, "Five!"

Five.

This was the number Chen Zizai judged they could kill before the Blood Sea Shadow activated.

Without more words, Heng Yi, trusting Chen Zizai, abandoned the five nearest shadows and focused on the others. He appeared behind a shadow, and his sword slashes rained down mercilessly.

Knowing his reaction speed had significantly decreased, only rapid, chaotic slashes could kill the shadows quickly. The Infinite Sword combined with the Ultimate Blade Flower, energy burst, and Instant Slash's fourfold damage was more reliable, but he wasn't confident he could use them all simultaneously in his current state. Time was of the essence, only seven breaths, and he had to kill as many as possible in that time!

Heng Yi disappeared, leaving a trail of red afterimages, reappearing behind the second, third, fourth, and fifth shadows, leaving a trail of flashing sword light and Instant Slash's white and red afterimages, and disappearing again—
