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

"Return to One..."

Familiar murmurs rang in Jiang Mian's ears, as if striking his soul.

Even with her current mental fortitude, she couldn't help but waver for a moment.

This time, even Ye Chenyang heard the babbling, and it was incredibly clear.

He felt a chill run down his spine and grabbed Jiang Mian's hand without hesitation.

The power of [Eternal Day] and the power of [Formless] were unleashed simultaneously, transforming into a black and white streak of light that carried Jiang Mian away at breakneck speed.

But the flesh-and-blood warship was already "watching" them when it appeared.

In the instant the two fled, the flesh on the bow of the ship twisted and a single, scarlet eye emerged.

A massive force of shadow erupted from it, transforming into an endless dark sky.

In an instant, an area spanning nearly a thousand kilometers was shrouded in darkness!

Jiang Mian was startled upon seeing this.

"This level... it's probably already at the ninth rank, right?"

"really!"

Ye Chenyang's expression was extremely solemn:

"It's similar to the three-faced monster we encountered before, but it probably devours hundreds or even thousands of times more resources!"

Even without authority, such a being's numerical value is enough to crush all eighth-tier beings!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dozen figures emerged from the darkness and shot toward them like missiles!

They appeared to have just been separated from the flesh-and-blood warship, carrying the same terrifying aura.

There are about ten in total, and the number of eighth-order ones already exceeds the number in one hand!

Jiang Mian gritted his teeth and unhesitatingly pulled out four torrent clones from the [World].

Having just arrived in this main world and defeated a small monster, I've already attracted a boss of this level?

Are you kidding me!

What kind of matchmaking system is this?!

That flesh-and-blood warship is definitely the highest-level enemy she has encountered so far, besides the [Black Sun]!

Jiang Mian counted the remaining Torrent clones.

Since she leveled up and encountered more high-level matches, her Torrent clones have become increasingly insufficient.

She must break through to a higher level as soon as possible!

Otherwise, if we encounter this situation again, we won't even have the ability to escape!

"Boom!"

The instant it left the [world], the Torrent clone automatically engaged in battle, fighting against the twisted black shadows that exuded a powerful aura.

The dark sky completely sealed off the surrounding space.

Ye Chenyang decisively drew out the Yin-Yang Sword and activated it with all his might, attempting to carve a path through the void of darkness.

However, the several black and white sword energies sank like stones into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

Jiang Mian lent a hand, which opened a small gap, but it lasted for less than half a second before it completely healed.

"Brother Ye, use your full strength!"

After saying that, Jiang Mian took out another Torrent clone from the [World], along with a Jiang Ling who looked completely bewildered.

"Snap!"

With the combined efforts of all four parties, they finally managed to forcefully break through space and open a passage.

Jiang Mian stuffed Jiang Ling back into the [World], and her nimble tail wrapped around Ye Chenyang's waist, pulling him into the passage.

The surrounding darkness writhed, trying to fill the void, but it was too late.

However, when Jiang Mian saw the scene outside the passage, his heart skipped a beat.

Beyond the darkness, there was still endless darkness!

She couldn't help but look troubled and bit her lip.

If we break through this layer, will there be another one? Who knows...

Just then, a warm arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Jiang Mian's emotions calmed down a bit, and she looked up and said:

"Brother Ye, let's go quickly!"

Ye Chenyang remained silent, only nodding slightly.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but in the face of danger, he absolutely could not lose his composure.

[Balance] Since they were guided to this place, the purpose should not be to let them die in vain.

The two fled together into the darkness, but this time it took them four times longer to reach the end of the darkness.

Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang repeated what they had just done and found that this layer seemed to have become much thinner.

The combined strength of the two of them alone would be enough to break through.

However, when Jiang Mian passed through the passage again, he saw a familiar darkness.

"Damn it! When will this ever end?!"

She felt inexplicably irritated, but she could only suppress her emotions and ponder the underlying reasons.

Instead of pushing the boundaries of their domain to the extreme, they leverage their size advantage to increase the number of "obstacles."

Only a hybrid like the Flesh and Blood Warship can do this; a single Awakened One or Calamity could not withstand such consumption!

"Bang! Bang!"

A series of explosions came from the darkness behind.

The two walls of darkness that had just trapped Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang were swept away by the aftershocks of the eighth-level battle.

Jiang Mian sensed the connection between himself and the Hongliu clone.

The four fully-powered torrent clones were reduced to half their original size within just a few minutes, while reinforcements from the other side continued to pour in!

No!

She doesn't have many of her Torrent clones left, so she has to find a way to save herself!

Once one person is lost, the rate of loss will only accelerate!

Let's at least break out of this damn dark sky first!

"Brother Ye, let's keep going!"

"No!"

Ye Chenyang, contrary to his usual behavior, shook his head and made a decision that Jiang Mian did not expect:

"Mianmian, I'll cover the rear, you lead the way."

"Brother Ye, you..."

Jiang Mian opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

She rarely objected to Ye Chenyang's decisions, but his decision now really left her somewhat baffled.

Dealing with seventh-tier opponents is manageable, but eighth-tier opponents... are still beyond their ability to compete with even when they work together.

Getting caught up in this chaotic battle, not to mention whether Ye Chenyang can make a contribution, it's uncertain whether he can escape unscathed.

"Mianmian, I know what you're worried about."

Ye Chenyang gently smoothed her unruly hair and said confidently:

"If I want to, I can break through to the seventh rank very quickly, no problem!"

"Seventh tier..."

Jiang Mian repeated the sentence in a low voice.

What did this guy say before? That he'd catch up with her quickly?

It turns out he was lying to her!

Trusting Ye Chenyang, Jiang Mian finally agreed without hesitation.

"Thanks."

Ye Chenyang felt a warmth in his heart, gently cupped Jiang Mian's cheeks, kissed her, and then turned to face the darkness behind him.

In adversity, how fortunate it is to have someone who believes in you wholeheartedly.

What I just said was not a lie.

After fusing with the bronze waist token, the radiance and shadow within his body quickly reached a balance.

Now, Ye Chenyang only needs to leverage the "power of heaven" to fully integrate with [balance] and go even further!

Originally, he wanted to gradually adapt to the power of [Balance].

He waited for his spiritual power to grow naturally before merging with it, which is why he told Jiang Mian that he would "catch up with her progress soon."

But this main world is so dangerous that he can no longer afford to waste time.

Even if it might leave him with unstable and weak mental energy, he would accept it!

Having broken through to the seventh rank, and with the power of the nascent authority, although I can't defeat those eighth-rank shadows, I can definitely hold them off!

With this in mind, Ye Chenyang activated the [Balance] authority and began the final fusion.

Although this main world is heavily polluted, it is limited to living organisms.

After all, the "Celestial Forces" involve the origin of the world. If even it is polluted, this part of the main world would have long since returned to chaos!

Soon, an invisible force pierced through the darkness and landed on Ye Chenyang, causing his aura to rise steadily!
