Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 551 Mutation
at the same time.

A blood-red countdown appeared before all players' eyes.

[World boss's arrival countdown in reality: 10...9...8...]

See this scene.

The area was completely surrounded by a dense crowd of players, all of them looking on with suspicion.

My Adam's apple bobbed, and my heart felt like it was in my throat.

The power within his body was constantly gathering, and his gaze was fixed intently on the crack above.

They were all preparing to unleash their strongest killing moves.

That line of black and red blood-red writing is still vivid in my mind.

All players understand.

They had no choice at that moment.

Failure to complete the mission will result in elimination.

The choice is either to kill the world boss that has descended, or to be annihilated by the imaginary space.

As for whether imaginary space can achieve this, no player would doubt it.

Leaving aside the capabilities of imaginary space, just consider the large number of players who died without cause before.

Looking back now, it must all be related to the imaginary space, and it is very likely that it was erased.

"Don't panic, everyone! Although the four world-class BOSSes are very strong, even if they could descend into reality, their strength would be greatly reduced and restricted."

In reality, there are no health bars; you don't only die when your health bar is depleted.

With so many players here, even if we simply overwhelm them with numbers, we can crush them into dust!

At this moment, one of the curly-haired men, clad in gilded armor, spoke up.

Although the sound is not loud.

But it spread far and wide, clearly reaching the ears of all players.

At that moment, he swung his arm and swung the giant spear in his hand, producing a whooshing sound that cut through the air.

He was also riding a giant dragon whose entire body was covered with scales that looked like black iron.

At this moment, it let out a deafening roar, its dragon might sweeping in all directions, and its jet-black wings spread out, casting a suffocating shadow on the sea below.

Upon seeing this person's appearance, many players' expressions changed slightly.

Soon, someone recognized the man's identity.

"That's Black Dragon Knight Abel! A top-tier player with a level of 911!"

Their strength is astonishing.

And at a glance.

There are quite a few top-tier players like this who are rarely seen in normal times.

They all appeared here.

These players lost some levels while fighting the world boss.

Although it has decreased somewhat compared to before.

However, due to the effect of rare items, the actual decrease in strength is not that significant.

Humans are social animals.

So many top players have gathered here.

In addition, what the other party said made a lot of sense.

The ants kill the elephant.

The opponent was only level 1000; they didn't have any high-level players like that.

However, there are quite a few high-level players with levels over 900, so the actual skill gap isn't that big.

In addition, there are no health bars in the real world.

To deal damage, you don't need to empty your shield.

It's possible that the world boss that descends upon us isn't as powerful as the one in the imaginary space.

The thought of this.

Many players believe it to be true.

I feel that this mandatory task is not impossible to complete.

……

soon.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

among the cracks.

There was a flash of light.

In an instant, the figures of Hu Qi and his three companions came into view of many players.

This looks a little different from before.

But clearly, these four people are the incarnations of those four world bosses.

"kill--"

"Brothers, charge! Leave no one alive!!"

The roar tore through the sea and sky.

The sea suddenly boiled, and countless players rushed in like a tidal wave.

Some players even lurk in the spatial rifts, their cold glints gleaming, waiting for their chance to strike.

The murderous intent was overwhelming.

Look from afar.

The players transformed into a surging black wave, sweeping over and surrounding the four figures that appeared in the crack in the sky.

Leading the charge was none other than Abel, the Black Dragon Knight who had spoken earlier.

The black dragon beneath him flapped its wings at incredible speed, like a black arrow, breaking the sound barrier.

His body radiated a dazzling golden light, and his spear thrust out fiercely, easily tearing the space apart like fragile silk.

It transformed into an extreme stream of light and pierced through.

at the same time.

Beside him was a berserker pro player carrying a greatsword.

His figure stepped into the air, his muscles bulging, and his crimson battle aura burned like flames.

Enveloping the whole body.

His veins bulged all over his body, and he roared angrily.

The giant sword slashed downwards, tearing through the sky with a blood-red sword aura that was a hundred feet long.

Further back, a sorcerer clad in a dark purple robe raised his staff, and obscure incantations vibrated in the air.

In an instant, a surging thunderstorm gathered beneath the crack in the sky, and purplish-black lightning bolts struck down like mad snakes, heading straight for the four people in the crack.

……

Each of the top players showed no mercy, going all out with every move.

Tanks and warriors should be positioned at the front.

The mages chanted incantations, and elemental power gathered at the tips of their staffs into a dazzling light.

In addition, there are other professions such as Druid and Priest.

As the spell was cast, emerald green and white light nourished all the players like spring rain.

This will give it benefits in various aspects.

It greatly increases the player's strength.

Arrows, fireballs, lightning, gales, and other attacks ripped through the sky, while battle cries and chants intertwined and echoed throughout the space.

Countless dazzling attacks rained down on the four of them.

Some of these top players, in terms of true strength, are even comparable to ordinary true gods.

With so many players, it's enough to destroy any world.

But, that's all.

They were facing four true Dao Lords.

Face this scene.

None of the four of them took him seriously.

--Snapped!

Hu Qi looked at the approaching crowd and the overwhelming attack.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, an invisible wave suddenly spread out from him.

"boom--!!"

The incoming spells, magic, arrows, curses, sword energy, and blade light disintegrated like grains of sand the moment this wave touched them, vanishing into nothingness.

Ripples spread across the surface.

All the weapons and items on the players, including longswords, staves, daggers, and bows, disintegrated.

Not even a single piece of clothing was left behind.

at the same time.

A thunderclap exploded in the ears of all the players!

The thunder's power pierced their eardrums, shaking everyone to their core.

next second.

What terrified these players was that they discovered their power was rapidly diminishing.

This feeling caused their expressions to change drastically.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, he went from being a superhuman who could fly and escape into the earth to an ordinary person again.

Until then.

Only then did all the players realize how ridiculous their previous ideas had been.

They were wiped out with just a snap of their fingers.

This kind of power.

It was even more despairing than facing it in imaginary space.

That's why.

This is because Hu Qi completely stripped away the imaginary number marks on these players.

Their naked bodies, like puppets with broken strings, plummeted one after another into the churning waves below amidst their piercing screams.

It stirred up countless waves on the sea.

If a careful observer were to notice, they would surely discover that the entire sea level has risen noticeably as a result.

This might be considered a kind of relief.

They no longer need to worry about being erased by the imaginary space after a mission failure.

Now, however, they face a new life-or-death test: how to survive in this turbulent sea.

Fortunately, these players still retained some extraordinary power for a short time, which prevented them from being killed instantly when they fell into the sea from a height of 10,000 meters.

However, due to the large number of players...

Some players were high in the air and did not fall.

Hu Qi's gaze shifted and landed on one person.

The person was still falling from mid-air.

She appeared to be a girl with pigtails. She was only wearing a thin bra and panties.

The rest of his clothes and equipment had disappeared.

The girl's face was filled with terror as she fell downwards.

At a glance.

They are no different from ordinary players.

However, Hu Qi saw a different scene in the other person.

It was a silver-white, fiery demonic ghost face phantom.

Hu Qi's gaze followed.

The figure that was originally ten thousand meters away from him suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was as if they had been transported there out of thin air.

Then Hu Qi grabbed him by the neck.

The intense feeling of suffocation caused the girl's face to flush red.

"Got you!"

Hu Qi remained calm.

However, they were just about to take action.

But his body paused.

His aura plummeted rapidly.

His eyes moved slightly.

"Is it time yet?!"

At the same time.

The girl's body in his hand instantly disintegrated and disappeared.

It recombine in the distance, taking the form of a young man.

This person was none other than 'Luo Xing'.

No, to be more precise, it was Bai Xie who took over Luo Xing's body.

"Ha, the power of the Dao Fruit level... just a little short!"

Bai Xieguai smiled.

"What a pity! If you had held on just a little longer, I might be the one who perished here today!"

Although he was powerless to stop the arrival of the four people, he cleverly altered the coordinates of the exit of the spatial passage at the last moment.

As for the players who were summoned...

He never expected these ants to cause any real harm to the four; he just wanted to use them to buy some time.

Most importantly, we must wait until the terrifying power of the Dao Fruit Realm on the figure holding the black banner dissipates.

And now, he's won his gamble.

However, the next second...

His smile froze on his face.

Because the opponent has another Sage's Seed in their possession.

"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"

Hu Qi laughed.

Then he put it away.

Although Bai Xie's strength is not bad.

But it's only at the level of Daojing.

Using another Sage's Seed to deal with the opponent would be too wasteful.

"Fellow Daoists, attack together."

Yao Yue's clear, cold voice echoed in the void. Before the echo had faded, the ancient scroll behind her suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

The scroll was unfurled, like the first rays of dawn at the beginning of time.

The outlines of mountains and rivers are faintly visible on the scroll, and the shadow of a dragon seems to move among the swirling clouds and mist.

Within it, boundless radiance flowed, constantly revealing majestic mountains, mighty rivers, and scenes of the sun, moon, and stars.

It seems to contain a microcosm of the world.

Clearly, this scroll is a powerful Dao artifact.

Strands of Daoist energy emanated from the painting, instantly enveloping and isolating the surrounding space.

This completely eliminated any possibility of Bai Xie escaping.

At the same time.

Gong Shu, Mo Wei, and Hu Qi were about to make their move.

Dealing with so-called void creatures.

There's no need to talk about morality; attacking them as a group is the right thing to do.

However, regarding this scene...

Bai Xie remained completely calm.

Instead, he suddenly laughed.

"Aren't you curious how I managed to stop the four of you with my power?"

At this point, he didn't seem to be waiting for a response from the crowd.

He said it aloud.

"We beg Your Majesty, the White Emperor, for your assistance!!"

hum!
For an instant.

The surrounding light suddenly distorted, transforming into a pale, colossal hand that blotted out the sky.

The instant it appeared.

Yao Yue and the others' expressions changed!
Because the aura emanating from that hand was too strong.

It made them all tremble at the same time.

It has at least the aura of the Dao Fruit Realm.

This judgment arose in Hu Qi's mind.

Just now, he used the Sage's Seed of the Lord of Truth, which briefly allowed his strength to reach the Dao Fruit Realm.

Therefore, Hu Qi felt this particularly deeply.

Compared to the power of the Lord of Truth.

The power in the hand before me was even more formidable.

The four remained remarkably calm in the face of this sudden attack.

Just as the giant hand was about to grab them, the space above their heads tore open, and a blue fishing rod appeared, precisely blocking the attack.

It collided with the giant hand.

--boom!

The turbulent currents surged, and space, like porcelain, kept breaking apart.

The scroll artifact that originally covered this space disintegrated and returned to Yao Yue's back.

The four people stepped back to create some distance between themselves.

The group seemed to have anticipated this.

Those who could become Dao Lords were naturally not fools; they had sensed the anomaly as soon as they arrived.

If every evil spirit were as powerful as Bai Xie, the boundary membrane would have been broken long ago; how could it have lasted until now?

Therefore, before they arrived, they had already used the boundary tower mark to send back information about the anomaly and notified the tower master.

Now, it is clear that it is the Tower Master, Wan Gu Yi, who has made his move.

Click!

at this time.

The space around Hu Qi collapsed without warning.

It's like a complete jigsaw puzzle, where someone suddenly and roughly rips a piece off, taking everything in it with them.

"Ok?"

Hu Qi's expression changed. He vaguely saw a white worm-like creature with spiral-shaped sharp teeth flash by.

Instinctively, he tried to break free, but it was too late.

His figure distorted and blurred in the instant the space collapsed, and finally disappeared completely like an ink stain that had been wiped away.

The crack, which had been there, was now gone and quickly healed.

Just as Hu Qi's figure disappeared...

After clashing with the green fishing rod, the giant hand withdrew.

Along with that, they also dragged Bai Xie, who was still standing there, back to the scene.

It all happened so fast.

Even if Yao Yue and the other two wanted to stop it, it was too late.

next second.

A figure suddenly appeared on the spot.

This was an ordinary-looking man wearing a straw raincoat.

"Tower Master!"

Upon seeing this, Yao Yue and the other two bowed respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, he..."

Yao Yue looked at the spot where Hu Qi had disappeared.

I was just about to ask something.

It was interrupted by Wan Gu Yi.

"It's the aura of the Space-Time Worms, one of the eight Void Royal Clans. This time, their target is the Lord of Infinity!"

"However, to snatch someone right under my nose like this is a blatant disregard for my dignity!"

Wan Gu's gaze darkened.

I glanced at the green fishing rod in my hand; a tiny crack had appeared on it.

……

On Hu Qi's side.

In an instant, the world changed.

The surrounding scenery blurred, and when his vision returned, he had already left the sky above the sea.

I found myself in a gloomy and magnificent palace.

The dark gray primordial mist moved through the hall like a living thing, shrouding the surrounding stone pillars and dome in a hazy mist.

He looked up and gazed at the center of the palace.

There stood a throne made of crystal, and on the throne sat a white-haired boy, lounging lazily.

The boy's face was so eerily handsome that it seemed otherworldly; his pale skin was almost transparent, revealing the faint blue veins beneath.

He wore a long white robe embroidered with dark patterns, his slender fingers gently tapping the armrest of the throne, a smile playing on his lips.

"Lord of Infinity! I knew I wasn't wrong, you truly are an anomaly!"
