Soul Trigger

Chapter 252: Immortal Web
In an instant, a bloody shadow appeared in front of Ji Li's eyes, and a bloody mouth burst out from the red light and bit towards him in an instant.

The speed that happened in the blink of an eye allowed Ji Li to instantly activate the Soul Mach. The black-core and white-edged spiritual essence wrapped around the entire blade of Jiu Ni and rose up violently. With a loud bang, the blade was chopped out, sending a blade wave up into the sky.

But the blade wave actually penetrated the bloody mouth and spread all the way to the banquet hall behind the opponent.

Then the huge mouth bit into Ji Li's body, and with the throbbing of the soul trigger, blood rushed into the sky -

immortal person!
And the huge mouth biting on him seemed to be jumping between reality and illusion, and any attack could not have any effect on it.

Ji Li made a decision almost instantly and gave up the current split personality entity -

This body is the "Sword Master" who was separated from himself through the split of reality, and his real body is right next to him.

Just as his consciousness was separated from the "Sword Master", a heart-wrenching roar shook the air:
"It's useless!! The shadow of the sleeping beast king follows me everywhere!!"

In the trance-like moment when his consciousness was lost, Ji Li had returned to his body, but the scene in front of him was still deep red. The "Sword Master" he released seemed to have crossed dimensions and space and slammed into his body fiercely.

At the same time, the huge bloody mouth that had bitten on his body out of thin air also returned, as if locking onto his soul, and emitting some strange dimensional interference.

This made Ji Li's body flash with bloody noise, as if time and space were dislocated, and his body jumped back and forth between several evil spirit forms.

And as the "military advisor" roared loudly, the red light that came out of the huge mouth turned into a powerful vortex, completely enveloping and occupying Ji Li's vision.

In an instant, a huge force came from the front, pulling him into the deep red vortex:
"Black Goat, this is a projection from the Predator King... Your struggle is in vain."

"You ruined my plan and destroyed the Aurora City of my dreams. No matter what I do, it's useless. You must die here today!!"

As the uncontrollably jumping evil spirit was re-fixed in the form of "Sword Master", Ji Li stomped on the ground, creating a deep red crack at the intersection of dimensions, and the sound waves exploded invisibly:

"Noisy!"

A red light flashed in his hand and passed away.

In the soul space, as the value representing the total amount of red matter began to jump rapidly, his claws in reality burst into a surge of scarlet, and the heart blade and his own spiritual essence and red matter that poured into it became entangled wildly.

It collapsed, gathered, and expanded like a thread, quickly condensing in his hands, and dyed his spiritual eyes under the visor red at the same time—

No, not enough...

The red substance at the moment is totally unable to push itself to the level of Odin like it did in the other world...

Ji Li could feel the powerful breath coming from an immortal in that huge mouth, with a kind of strange inertia.

It was like a horrible creature that had not yet woken up, and was being called repeatedly in its sleep, smacking its lips and turning over.

But even if it was just a turn over, it was still more terrifying and profound than the immortals he encountered in the Black Sun Palace. The boundless threat rushed towards him frantically along the throbbing soul trigger.

In that moment of thought, Ji Li's mouth suddenly grinned, and his sharp claws were instantly covered with a layer of black iron-colored mechanical units, and then quickly expanded to the entire evil spirit arm and even the blade of the Cinder Blade.

At the same time, most of the Well of Souls disappeared instantly—

[Carbon Change], permanently donate a part of your own possessions to gain special powers.

Most of the soul well that disappeared in an instant was sacrificed to another self, and Odin's power was also displayed in Ji Li:
The mechanical unit clicked on his wrist and the blade, instantly wrapping around his entire arm and transforming into fine power rods and layered, undulating mechanical structures.

The appearance of the Cinder Blade also changed rapidly under some special energy, extending, and the handle turned into some kind of polymer material, expanding into a stable unit to fit Ji Li's wrist.

The blade vibrated at a high frequency, red light gathered in the scabbard, and the sound of some kind of miniature reactor running wildly came from the mechanized and heavy hilt of the sword.

Click, the blade is unsheathed.

The sharp blade had turned into a laser-red black blade that was humming madly, driving the destructive force that burst out from the reactor to gather and explode in the air.

The world turned black and white in an instant.

"……you--??!"

The military advisor's voice suddenly changed color, but under the humming sound of electromagnetic acceleration, a huge wave of energy sword that shot up into the sky slammed heavily into the bloody giant mouth.

After a moment of stagnation, the bloody surface exploded with a glass-like crack, then shattered violently, and then exploded in all directions.

As if some kind of barrier was violently blasted apart, the scarlet blade wave completely penetrated into the huge mouth between illusion and reality.

puff--! ! ! !

Amid the screams of uncertainty, a huge crack like glass was cut in the space.

The huge mouth was instantly torn into two halves. The cross-section inside was blood-red and as smooth as a mirror, and then quickly turned charred black.

Then, as if some kind of chemical reaction had occurred, blood bubbles appeared everywhere, and finally the whole thing exploded, with blood gushing out.

"……This is impossible!!!!"

The knife seemed to have cut into his body as well, and the "Military Advisor" let out a heart-wrenching scream:

"...That's the Immortal! That's the projection of the Predator King... You lunatic! You'll kill everyone... You'll wake him up completely!!!"

"Then let him wake up."

Ji Li's voice vibrated in the dimension:
"I will kill him for you to see, but unfortunately... you probably won't be able to see him now..."

"Madman, idiot... bastard, Flash Street is finished, Aurora City is finished, everything is finished!!!"

Amidst the sharp scream, the bloody vortex stopped.

Then, a layer of dark purple energy suddenly erupted from the dimensional fragment separated by Ji Li, and a dense shadow emerged from it, and then the whole thing shattered -

Ji Li saw the sea of ​​blood engulfing the entire core banquet hall, and Misha's panicked figure rapidly enlarged in his field of vision, and heard a surprised call:
“Old Ji?!”

Misha stretched out her arms towards Ji Li and hugged him, and then the sea of ​​blood completely swallowed her.

Ji Li swung out the blade in his hand in an instant, splitting the surging sea of ​​blood and the core banquet hall into two halves.

A large group of people who had not yet been engulfed by the sea of ​​blood showed up, but there was no sign of Jin Misha.

"Dimensional fluctuation..." Ji Li suddenly clenched the hilt of the knife.

"It's an immortal-level predator!"

In mid-air, Qin, who had already entered the state of evil spirit, was pulling countless invisible silk threads, as if she was controlling the power of the Shanjie Lingyu, trying to suppress the changes here.

At this moment, in addition to the surging sea of ​​blood covering the entire core banquet hall, there were also thousands of illusory resentful souls growing out of the walls and ceiling of the flashing street, constantly humming some strange ballads:

"The Advisor has triggered the power of an Immortal Predator! That power is now running wild! They are being pulled into an unknown nest. I am..."

Qin, who had a human body and a spider body, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood:

"...I'm trying to stabilize the situation...You better leave here! A Type-1 Overlord can't do anything here!"

"You mean they were pulled into the Predator's lair because of that sea of ​​blood?"

As Ji Li spoke, he raised his hand to cover Qin's body to check her spiritual condition, but was brushed away by the other party's blade foot:

"…I'm fine! But you, get out of here now!"

The reason why the Predator is called a Predator is because this awakened person possesses a spiritual prison stored deep in the soul that can be opened.

It is also because of this that the power of the Predator in reality will be weakened accordingly, and it is completely weaker than other types of awakeners.

But on the other hand, if they were in the predator's own lair, their strength would be multiplied, just like the evil in their own spirit prison. This is why the "Military Advisor" was pierced by Yuya Tetsuya and almost lost his ability to move.

However, the nest cannot be opened at any time. For predators, they need a medium to select prey. This is why the military advisor did not open the nest at the first time.

But the current situation is no longer that simple.

Ji Li, who was pushed away by the blade's foot, quickly looked around. Most of his colleagues from the Special Management Bureau had disappeared. There was a sea of ​​blood and screams of people all around, and the sea of ​​blood was still spreading towards the outside of the core banquet hall.

"As long as we enter the sea of ​​blood, we can enter the opponent's soul prison?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Qin's eyes suddenly widened, and even the movement of controlling the invisible silk thread in her hand slowed down by half a beat:
"That is the lair of the immortals' hell! If you break in, you will die!"

Her voice suddenly slowed down:
“The person in charge of Flash Street in Aurora City has received my message and is on his way here, as are the strong men from other forces!
As long as a strong person with spatial ability arrives here, or a door opener with sufficient strength, they can successfully open the Lingbao Prison and go in to rescue people. There is no need for you to risk your life!"

But Ji Li turned his head and glanced:
"Did you see that?"

"what?"

"The blood sea is sinking."

Qin turned her head and saw that the horizon was dropping rapidly. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ji Li transformed into a beam of black light and plunged into the sea of ​​blood.

"Time is running out."

"Wait!!! Ji Li! You..."

"Except for myself, I never believe in so-called strong people."

Blood-colored waves rushed up into the sky, and Ji Li's figure had already rushed into the sea of ​​blood. Then Qin Yaoyao's voice was heard:
"Ji Li! You can't die! You absolutely can't die!! Stay alive!!!"

The sea of ​​blood was swirling, and no trace of him could be seen.

Qin gritted her teeth. The situation around her did not allow her to rush in like this, but with a flash of spiritual energy in her eyes, the surging sea of ​​blood suddenly slowed down a lot.

"If you die and become an evil being, I will fish you out..."

……

Ji Li felt like he was sinking into a piece of glue, his consciousness was sticky, and he seemed to be spinning in a daze.

But as the protruding circular structure on the left arm opened, cylinders emerged from inside, and some kind of flowing energy liquid could be seen in the half-open translucent material.

Amid the delicate grinding sound of the machinery, they were all injected into his body——

The next moment he opened his eyes and saw a wide-open black flesh door:
A turbulent crimson vortex continuously emerged from the gate of hell, spreading in rolling waves in all directions.

A red figure was half-sitting on the steps of the flesh and blood door, with his back to Ji Li.

As if she heard the sound of him landing, she turned around suddenly and laughed loudly:
"black goat……"

"You look like you're waiting for me, the host."

The other party is the agent, or the "Avenger".

Ji Li glanced at the alloy scabbard in his hand——

The power of carbon transformation still remains on it, and a small progress bar is slowly shrinking backwards.

A high-output, high-frequency frequency knife for space combat, equipped with a small energy cold fusion power reactor, has a separate energy supply unit and certain multifunctional characteristics.

I didn't have time to check the specifics of the knife just now, but now I recognize it.

The Avenger got up from the ground. He slowly stood up, and blood-red armor quickly emerged and wrapped around his body. The evil appearance of the mantis appeared on his body.

However, his appearance at this time was completely different from that in the material world——

The blood-colored armor was covered with various barbs and blood vessel-like lines. A heart-like bulge appeared on the chest, and a red light was beating slowly inside.

A pair of horns like insect antennae grew on the top of the head, with red light flowing through them and then flowing throughout the body.

A dense cloud of steam was exhaled frantically from the insect vents on his body as he breathed:
"Although I don't know what you did, it seems that you defeated the Mouthpiece and alarmed the Predator King..."

Apparently, he also managed to escape from the encirclement of many powerful men in that surging sea of ​​blood.

At this moment, he seemed to have calmed down, and walked towards Ji Li:

"I was originally feeling sorry that the Predator King was about to crush you, and I wouldn't be able to take revenge myself, but I didn't expect..."

He burst into a roar of laughter:

"You are truly blessed by the otherworld... You made it here alive. Rather, it is because I believe in you and will not die so easily, so I am waiting for you in this dream world..."

Ji Li paused as he was about to clench his hand on the hilt of the knife: "Dream world?"

As his ability to enter dreams became more perceptive, he suddenly felt a mysterious trance all around him, as if it was indeed a dream.

But something wasn’t right.

"The ability of the Predator is to open its nest, between illusion and reality, and carve out a path for us to survive in the cracks of dimensions...at least that's what the Mouthpiece told me."

"Originally, I had no interest in this knowledge. The only thing I wanted to do was to kill you... But I can turn you into ashes soon, but I feel reluctant..."

His voice suddenly became gloomy:

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Mukai... Leader of the Blood Shuttle Group."

"Two of my loyal members died at your hands, and then... my entire Blood Shuttle Group was gone, all because of you and the Special Management Bureau..."

A pair of blades suddenly sprang out from his elbows, and they were subtly similar to the shape of Ji Li Sword Master:

"Then I found the Mouthpiece and told him that I wanted the power of revenge... He gave me the gift of the Predator. Since then, I have possessed the abilities of both a Predator and an ordinary Awakener."

"What do you want to say?" Ji Li tightened the hilt of the knife.

He was in a hurry, but he needed the other party to reveal more information.

"You want to hear more from me, don't you?"

Mukai suddenly smiled, and his bloody mask instantly twisted.

The next moment, he turned into a red light and rushed over:

“The point is… here, my spiritual essence is twice as large as in the material world… and here, is my lair!!!

And you will die in eternal torment without a burial place!!!"

Poof! ! ! !

The red light surged, and the two blade lights collided with each other.

"You will become my food, and be buried with my friends, relatives, and subordinates!!!"
