Immediately afterwards, he felt a deadly chill creeping up his spine.

He could even clearly feel the demonic sword, emanating endless wails of souls, gently pressed against the fur on the back of his neck.

Xu Tian, ​​unbeknownst to him, was now standing steadily directly behind him.

"Ahhh!"

Wolf Moonlight let out a scream as he desperately tried to turn around and attack Xu Tian behind him.

But it was too late.

"Die."

Xu Tian's voice, devoid of any emotion, gently rang in Lang Yueming's ears.

Xu Tian slowly raised the demonic sword in his hand.

At the very moment he raised his sword.

The world changed color.

The already gloomy sky was now completely plunged into pure darkness.

The gale suddenly stopped, and everything turned pitch black.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, all magical elements trembled at this moment.

The more than 3,500 souls gathered on the sword let out a collective wail under the urging.

That is the materialized power of the soul.

That's true damage that ignores all defenses.

"cut!"

Xu Tian simply slashed down on Lang Yueming's back with his sword.

"Shh!"

A thin, yet profoundly deep, crescent-shaped, pure black sword aura silently detached from the blade of the demonic sword.

The black sword energy passed right through Lang Yueming's body.

"Uh……"

Wolf Moonlight's massive, mountain-like body suddenly stiffened.

His raised claws fell limply to the ground.

He lowered his head and stared blankly at his undamaged chest, seemingly feeling no physical pain whatsoever.

but.

The glimmer of life in his eyes was extinguished completely in that instant.

His soul had been completely annihilated by that sword energy containing three thousand five hundred layers of true damage, leaving not even a trace.

"boom!"

A fourth-tier magical beast commander, the ruler of the Bloodthirsty City.

And so it became a soulless shell, crashing heavily from mid-air onto the devastated ruins, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, the terrifying power of this attack was far from over.

The pure black crescent-shaped sword energy killed Lang Yueming.

It continued to fly close to the ground, hurtling towards the endless wilderness behind it.

"Whoosh, boom!"

Under the shocked gazes of Xu Tian and all the players.

The black sword energy, which was supposed to only affect the soul level, flew more than ten kilometers away, but its energy density was so terrifying that it caused the problem.

The sword energy struck directly at the end of a steep mountain peak that was hundreds of meters high.

A deafening, terrifying roar that shook the earth was followed.

That majestic mountain peak was actually cleaved in two from the very middle by that black sword energy.

The cut surface is as smooth as a mirror.

After losing its support, the upper half of the mountain collapsed slowly to one side with a deafening roar, stirring up clouds of dust that obscured half the sky.

Chapter 265 The Return Journey

"This……"

Xu Tian gripped his sword, standing still, staring at the majestic mountain peak cleaved in two by a single sword strike in the distance, his eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.

"The soul damage is stacked so high that it can still cause this level of physical destruction? What kind of mechanism is this?"

Xu Tian looked at the demonic sword in his hand, which still exuded a terrifying aura, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

However, after the initial shock came an overwhelming sense of elation.

"Wow, this harvest is much bigger than we imagined."

Xu Tian felt the immense feedback from the spoils of war within his body.

What surprised him most was that the longsword and the soul-devouring mask were calculated separately. Although the longsword consumed all the soul energy, the mask did not.

Those 3500 soul essences were still perfectly stored in the mask, ready for the next outburst.

Xu Tian carefully put the demon sword back into his system inventory and let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned his head and glanced at Fengxue, who was slowly descending on an Ice Shadow Eagle in the distance, as well as the logistics players who were still stunned by the earth-shattering sword strike.

Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to himself.

"We were able to successfully slay this Tier 4 Boss thanks to the three thousand fat sheep that Xiaoxue sponsored. We'll tally it up later and give her some gold coins as a reward."

Xu Tian stroked his chin.

"When I encounter tough opponents with high health and defense that I can't beat in the future, this move, the 'Ten Thousand Sheep Sacrifice' strategy, seems to be a regular tactic for me to use more often."

At this moment, on this battlefield that had been razed to the ground, the aftershocks of that devastating explosion finally began to subside.

The players, who had been scattering and fleeing to escape the pursuit of the fourth-tier magical beast, were now in a state of panic after confirming that the once invincible Wolf Moonlight had been slain by Xu Tian with a single sword strike, leaving not even a soul behind.

They gradually began to regroup from various hidden corners and reconvene in the center of this main battlefield.

The group gathered together, their faces showing no signs of fatigue from the battle; instead, they were filled with an irrepressible excitement and fervor.

Just as everyone was boasting about how stylish their positioning had been, Lu Chen, standing in the center of the crowd, suddenly gave a mysterious smile.

He strode over to a piece of wreckage, cleared his throat, and drew everyone's attention.

"Brothers, the fight was so intense just now, I didn't even have time to show you a good treasure."

As Lu Chen spoke, he reached into the system backpack at his waist.

The next second, a flash of light appeared, and a Poké Ball the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

The players present were taken aback when they saw this thing; what was so interesting about a Poké Ball?

"Poké Ball? What does that mean?"

Lu Chen chuckled, not answering directly, but instead holding the Poké Ball in one hand and gently pressing the metal button in the middle with his thumb.

"Come out, let me show you a new world."

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the middle of the Poké Ball, and a dazzling red beam of light shot out from inside the ball, striking the scorched earth in the open space in front.

In less than a second, the light dissipated, and a tall, slender figure with a pair of pure white wings on its back, but now looking disheveled and humiliated, appeared in everyone's sight.

It was the same swan beastman that Lu Chen had knocked unconscious in the chaos at the edge of the battlefield.

At this moment, the Swan Beastman had just been released from the space of the Poké Ball and was still a little dizzy.

When she realized that she was surrounded by a dense crowd of humans staring at her with the same eyes they had for a rare animal, her rather delicate face was instantly filled with anger and humiliation, and she wanted to struggle.

However, he found that he seemed to be under some kind of rule, and was unable to launch any attack against Lu Chen who was holding the Poké Ball.

When they saw that Lu Chen had actually used a game item to subdue an orc, the surrounding players gasped in astonishment and then began to discuss it heatedly.

"My goodness, this is actually true! Poké Balls can actually capture living creatures in the world of Eshiria and bring them into that inner space."

"This setting is too overpowered! If this thing can capture living creatures, then in the future, if there are strong orcs or high-level magical beasts in this world, can we just weaken them to a minimum, throw a ball at them, and capture them directly?"

Another player's eyes lit up, as if he could already see a pet army composed of various powerful orcs.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at the swan beastman in front of him, who was glaring at him with a dissatisfied expression, then turned to Xu Tian, ​​who was walking over, and said in a tone that was filled with undisguised excitement.

"Wow, the items in this 'Pet Breeding' module can actually capture animals without regard to the map! It seems that there is no limit to the strength of this pet breeding gameplay."

Lu Chen stroked his chin and continued his analysis.

"Although in Minecraft, the maximum level cap for pet mods is only 100, that's the best you can do. But this is a real, functioning world, and there's no rule that native creatures here have a level cap of 100."

"If we can capture stronger orcs, or even those legendary magical beasts, wouldn't our combat power expand infinitely? Maybe we really can capture an orc legion in the future."

As Xu Tian listened to Lu Chen's analysis, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He slowly walked forward, looked at the swan-like beastman, and nodded slightly.

"Yes, your analysis is very accurate. This game world incorporates too many elements. Many modules may seem like simple auxiliary tools on the surface, but if you are willing to dig deeper, they actually hide a lot of hidden gameplay that can overturn the battle."

“This kind of cross-species capture is one example. When you explore in the future, you should study this aspect more. You will definitely have unexpected gains.”

Feng Xue, who had also walked over, looked at the swan beastman and nodded thoughtfully, saying something.

"That's true. It's not just the 'Pet Care' module. The 'Industry 1.0' module that Sister Hei and her team made is also quite impressive. They can now build a basic production line. When materials become more abundant in the future, they might be able to build Gundam."

The wind and snow paused, surveyed the devastated battlefield, and continued.

"Now that the siege here is completely over and all threats have been eliminated, let's quickly clean up the battlefield, collect the magic crystals and useful supplies dropped by the orcs, and then pack up and prepare to head back."

Chapter 266 Guild

Xu Tian had just put the fourth-tier magic crystal that Lang Yueming had dropped into his backpack.

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, scrutinizing the enormous pit beneath his feet, which was over ten kilometers in diameter.
