Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

As soon as she finished speaking, a dense shadow power enveloped Yin Mengyao, like a giant black cocoon.

After firmly restraining her, Jiang Mian turned her head to look at Wangchuan and the [Fierce God] behind her, and questioned:

"What do you mean?"

His tone was cold, as if he was annoyed by the repeated probing and attempts to "steal kills".

"Just confirming a few things."

Wangchuan spoke in a light and airy tone, speaking ambiguously like a riddle teller.

Several black lines instantly appeared on Jiang Mian's forehead, and the Shadow Cocoon in his hand tightened a little, from which Yin Mengyao's muffled groan came out.

"Alright, alright, I've already shown you how to do it, and you still think there's a problem with me?"

She laughed in her anger:

"How about I kill him myself to show you?"

Wangchuan didn't answer immediately, but just looked at her quietly.

Her gaze was deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Wangchuan revealed a faint smile and shrugged.

"Go ahead."

"Okay! You said it yourself."

Jiang Mian's mind stirred slightly, and he immediately contacted the torrent above his head.

"Let's do it!"

An invisible ripple spread from the clouds overhead.

Everything in the world seemed to be slowed down, almost completely frozen in time.

Just as Jiang Mian had envisioned, the Golden Crow clone, after embracing her spirit, could also move freely during the effective period of the [Eye of the Abyss].

She dared not delay, and opened the [World] within the Shadow Realm, successfully swapping Yin Mengyao inside.

Only after the wind and fire cores provide each other with enhancements can it barely reach the fourth-tier level.

Opening the [World] twice in a short period of time is already a huge burden.

We still need to upgrade them quickly.

Jiang Mian sighed inwardly.

She would have to spend time refining the elements herself to upgrade the new core.

To speed things up, you'll need to use elemental cores or spirit-based materials to get a slight boost.

However, since the plan has already begun, this matter will have to be delayed further.

Even if she doesn't do it intentionally, these cores will automatically absorb elements, just like leveling up while the game is running.

It's just a bit slow.

Half a month has passed, and the first wind-element core to be refined has only reached the fourth level, not to mention the others.

Three seconds pass in the blink of an eye.

The instant the time stop ended, she forcefully activated the Formless Black Flame.

Black flames suddenly erupted from inside the Shadow Cocoon, instantly engulfing the entire cocoon!

The flame had no temperature; instead, it absorbed the already limited light around it like a black hole, forming an exceptionally deep black.

A wildly twisting outline rose on the surface of the cocoon, and from within came the shrill scream of "Yin Mengyao".

However, the black flames burned ever brighter, while the struggles grew weaker and weaker.

The Shadow Cocoon visibly deflated, as if it were being gradually digested by Jiang Mian.

Finally, after reaching a certain critical point, it suddenly shrank into a black dot and disappeared completely into the air.

"call--"

Jiang Mian let out a long breath, then raised his head and looked at the River of Oblivion not far away.

"Satisfied?"

"Slap, slap."

Wangchuan clapped softly:

"Congratulations, you've gained another Supreme Power. How does it feel to possess three Supreme Powers at the same time?"

Jiang Mian gave her a meaningful look and then laughed.

"Hehe, excellent."

She snapped her fingers, and a wisp of silvery-white flame instantly shot out from her fingertip.

Wangchuan's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. But I have something to remind you..."

"What?"

Wangchuan pointed behind her.

Jiang Mian turned his head and, without realizing it, saw a large patch of dazzling aurora in the distance.

In the center of the aurora borealis stood the figure of a young man in a black uniform.

It was You Hui.

"This newly promoted eighth-tier cultivator shouldn't be too difficult to deal with, right?"

Wangchuan uttered these words, gave a final "take care" look, and then transformed into countless flower petals, disappearing from the spot.

The red-clad "fierce god" also transformed his body and vanished into the other shore.

Jiang Mian instantly understood her intention.

In Wangchuan's view, this clone of his should be like the clone ability of [Wuxiang], independent of the original body.

If we lose this clone, we might lose everything tonight.

But if it is to be preserved, it will inevitably allow the torrent to make its move.

Is this a move to force a formal break with the authorities and go down a dead end?

Goodness... If I were alone, I'd probably be caught in the vortex of trouble she created.

But what Wangchuan didn't expect was that this person had already been persuaded by Elder Zhong and was already one of their own.

Jiang Mian looked up.

Their eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's intentions.

You Hui suppressed a smirk, his expression "full of murderous intent," and said:

"Domain Deployment - [Aurora Dome]!"

The aurora borealis in the sky was suddenly "activated," becoming even more dazzling and spectacular.

Every area under the aurora borealis is captured by the domain.

Even though they were far apart, Jiang Mian was still inevitably "trapped" in the domain.

Next, no matter how it's handled, and regardless of whether Wangchuan believed it or not, the first round has finally come to an end.

……

On the other side, a sea of ​​flowers.

Wangchuan gently raised his hand to absorb the returning spiritual energy.

The experiences of her clones played out before her eyes like a revolving lantern.

She never expected that the sixth-level human could stop Jiang Mian.

Judging from the probing just now, [Doomsday]'s temper has become quite irritable lately, probably due to excessive pressure.

If you provoke her any further, she might flip the table at any moment.

Therefore, Wangchuan conceded and gave the right to finish off Jiang Mian.

She did indeed devour [Gui Xu] without hesitation, and even displayed corresponding new characteristics.

After all, digestion may take some time, but devouring is a process from zero to one.

It's reasonable that some of its features can be displayed immediately.

But this makes the threat of the apocalypse even greater.

The purpose of the River of Oblivion is not to destroy all humanity, but simply to eliminate the threatening apex.

For her, the continued existence of humanity would be more beneficial than harmful, and might even be related to her future advancement.

After all, calamities, unlike humans, cannot provide such pure spiritual power.

But the other calamity peaks don't think that way.

For example, the [withering], although it is of human origin...

However, he needs to continuously expand his kingdom and create a small world similar to the "underworld" in order to break through to the ninth level or even higher.

Only by continuously "plundering" life from the main world can this process be advanced.

As for [Shura], it's obvious that it's related to "slaughter".

Simply put, humans are the "resources" that the calamities need to fight over; their needs are to exhaust the resources, while the River of Oblivion wants a steady, continuous flow.

Therefore, she and they will inevitably part ways.

She only learned about the advancement requirements above the eighth rank after reaching the sixth rank.

Withering must have the same thought.

By analogy, the conditions for a "doomsday" are likely inseparable from "natural disasters".

If it's a natural disaster that wipes out the land, then it's indeed impossible to travel together.

Moreover, he had already made an enemy of Jiang Mian.

Given her personality, she'll probably come after me sooner or later. I might as well find a way to take her and [Eternal Day] down in one fell swoop.

But doing so carries considerable risk.

How exactly should we do it...?

Wangchuan stroked his chin.

Just then, a familiar skull floated in from outside the flower garden.

"Wangchuan, what have you done?"

After a long time apart, his first words were a question.

Wangchuan frowned, waiting for the next part.

The will-o'-the-wisps in Withering's eyes burned even brighter as he spoke in a deep voice:

"I heard... the echo of the death knell."
