Chapter 2188 - 2181: Then Let’s Change Tactics

"Who is the person who gave you the badge?" one of the six heads asked.

"It was a young man, which surprised us. He only has the strength of a First Grade Transcender but unexpectedly wears the epaulet of a Top-level Explorer. He said that something fell inside and should be able to come out soon."

"A young man?" The heads were somewhat puzzled. Back in the days when that Shi Potian appeared so astonishingly, then disappeared without a trace, leaving almost nothing except for the symbol on the badge. They thought it was the Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Soul Alliance reappearing, but the description didn’t seem to match.

"I’ll go take a look first!" One of the heads rushed directly into the Blood Pond, but Zhang Menglong had already dived to the depths of the Blood Pond, seeing nothing but chaos.

"Play the holographic projection of that moment!"

Several guards promptly brought up the footage from that time, and the heads were almost peering into the holographic projection.

"Your Majesty, is it the Hierarch of the Holy Soul Union?" the leader asked one of the heads.

That Emperor shook his head, "The facial features are similar, but the age doesn’t match at all. I guess it might very well be a junior or even a descendant within the Hierarch’s family!"

Upon hearing this, they all suddenly became worried.

If that’s really the case, and something happens to that young man here, none of them will be able to escape blame!

Thinking of that man’s power, they couldn’t help but shiver all over. If the Hierarch blames them for the young man, the entire Holy Soul Alliance will face a catastrophe.

"We wait here!" Several Emperors deliberated for a while.

Even though they are all on the edge of transcendence, today’s Blood Pond still poses dangers to them. Even they would struggle to survive if caught inside!

...

Zhang Menglong had no idea that the current rulers of the Holy Soul Alliance were feeling extremely uneasy because of him. At the moment, he had already descended to a depth of 300,000 meters in the Blood Pond!

At this depth, the chaos in the Blood Pond was even more intense, and even with visual capabilities in the Pond, they were greatly disrupted by these turbulent flows, forcing Zhang Menglong to rely on Soul Power to find his way.

Just as Zelans and others described, the Blood Vortex Flow seemed to have completely reshuffled and reconstructed the Blood Pond’s structure. The Supreme Crystals deep within were swept into new areas by the turbulence, and there were quite a number of them.

Zhang Menglong didn’t even intentionally search, collecting several dozen Supreme Crystals along the way.

Suddenly, Zhang Menglong’s soul seemed to be stimulated by something, as if something was approaching him!

[Dean, a powerful Soul Body is approaching!]

"I feel it!" Zhang Menglong stared in that direction, "Is it the Blood Slave Beast?"

Suddenly, a pair of crimson eyes appeared in front of him, so massive that they were hundreds of times larger than a car’s headlight!

Almost simultaneously, this behemoth opened its mouth, its huge fangs inducing a sense of fear.

"What the hell is this?" Zhang Menglong dodged hastily, barely escaping the gaping maw.

Only then did he get a full view of this gigantic creature!

Its length exceeded two kilometers, resembling a giant shark, unaffected by the swift Blood Vortex Flow.

"No aura of flesh and blood life, it’s a Soul-Life Form," Zhang Menglong observed carefully the creature before him. His teammates mentioned that the Blood Slave Beast has no fixed shape and is nearly impossible to kill; now Zhang Menglong finally understood why.

The Blood Slave Beast is a special Energy Life Form, ordinary Energy Life Forms exist in energy states and can be harmed or destroyed through energy attacks.

But the Blood Slave Beast is quite unique. It constructs its body from the liquid in the Blood Pond and preserves its soul within it. The body is more or less irrelevant to it, even if injured, it wouldn’t feel pain.

Even if it loses a part, it can instantly regenerate. In the Blood Pond, the Blood Slave Beast is nearly unkillable!

Even if captured, they can abandon their body since it’s just a vessel, easily replaced, akin to the skill of shedding a shell.

"My soul is telling me to devour this Blood Slave Beast!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself.

Why can he move freely and unaffected in the Blood Pond?

It’s almost because his soul is very special!

And the Blood Slave Beast is the same here in the Blood Pond, does this also indicate that his soul and the Blood Slave Beast’s soul are very similar in some dimension?

No time for Zhang Menglong to think further as the Blood Slave Beast charged towards him again. To the Blood Slave Beast, it likely felt the same about Zhang Menglong! Deep in their souls, a voice telling it to immediately consume this human!

"Hoo!"

The Blood Slave Beast suddenly turned, its enormous tail crashing towards Zhang Menglong like a wall.

The Blood Slave Beast’s speed is extremely fast, aided by its massive body, Zhang Menglong, if he wanted to dodge, would need thousands of times the speed and reflexes he has now, unable to evade leisurely.

He condensed the liquid of the Blood Pond into a Shield in front of himself, and as that liquid Shield shattered, Zhang Menglong was also enveloped by water spheres and sent flying, but the force was mostly absorbed, about ninety percent.

"This thing is really strong," Zhang Menglong dared not underestimate it, that blow alone would be enough to leave an ordinary Explorer half-dead.

Seeing its attack didn’t succeed, the Blood Slave Beast immediately pursued.

Zhang Menglong realized, the Blood Slave Beast’s combat style is brute force physical confrontation, compared to Transcenders of the same level, its strength is at least three to five times stronger!

"A brute, right?" After several collisions, Zhang Menglong felt his blood rise.

"Great Destruction!"

Zhang Menglong roared, demon wings spread behind him, amplifying his strength, speed, and nerve reactions dramatically.

"Realm King Fist!"

"Autonomous Ultra Instinct!"

...

With layers of powers added, Zhang Menglong transformed into a humanoid Warcraft, his punches and kicks packing explosive power.

"Bang!" Another fierce collision, Zhang Menglong was pushed back a hundred meters violently, while the Blood Slave Beast seemed like it had a bomb exploded on its body, a massive wound with a diameter of several dozen meters appeared.

Yet, to the Blood Slave Beast, this body is just a shell, the liquid of the Blood Pond slowly coalesces, recreating its flesh over the wound.

"Physical methods really can’t kill this thing!" Zhang Menglong was mentally prepared, so he wasn’t surprised.

His breath slowly calmed, realizing that no matter how he enhances his strength and speed, it is almost meaningless against the Blood Slave Beast.

"Then let’s change the tactics," blue light appeared in Zhang Menglong’s eyes, "Soul Secret Manual, Hexagram-Tower of the Void!"
