Super Gene Optimization Fluid - Chapter 1178
Chapter 1178: Break again and again!
The Collapsed Expanse of Founders’ system was called the God-Demon System. Xia Fei did not know who came up with this name, nor did he know who had set up and was operating such an enormous and deep system, but he was sure about at least one thing: The first attribute of the God-Demon System was cruelty!
Yes, the God-Demon System was cruel and crazy!
The first trial had caused him to realize the system’s unusual design! To get through the trial, Xia Fei had had to kill two rather pitiful and innocent children.
Fortunately, he was Xia Fei, and when the time came to be cruel, he could be even more ruthless than any devil! With one swing, he had taken two heads, and the first threshold of the God-Demon System had been broken! It had only taken four minutes and fifteen seconds, too!
Xia Fei soon had to face the second trial. In less than a second, he was placed in a life-or-death struggle. This struggle had nothing to do with skill, only a contest where one’s life was on the line!
Six people had formed a circle of energy, which was linked to their lives, attacking and defending against one another. For a warrior, particularly a speedster like Xia Fei, this was the worst method of combat possible, since speed warriors were all about being agile and flexible, constantly changing their position to catch their enemies off guard.
However, Xia Fei had no chance to use his speed now. This was a case of leading by a hair; if he made his move, the equilibrium of the circle would be broken. Xia Fei would not have to endure his energy backlash but rather the energy of five other people, all of whom were more or less on par with him!
“Awoooo!”
Furball let out a frenzied howl. Although he was cunning, he was also smart and loyal. He had very quickly realized that his master was in possibly the worst situation in history! Moving was death, but not moving would result in death from running out of energy! It was death no matter which path he chose!
Nonetheless, despite his predicament, Xia Fei was not as panicked as Furball. That familiar smile appeared on his lips as he once more found a solution to the problem.
…
Staring at Furball, Xia Fei sent over a decisive and crazy order. Furball was startled, and he backed away and shook his head.
“Don’t waste any time! Do what I say!” Xia Fei roared, refusing to accept any disobedience.
Furball gnashed his teeth, looking at Xia Fei in sorrow and rage.
“Awoooo!”
Furball once more roared and then pulled back, covered himself with energy and charging forward!
…
His target was Xia Fei’s right arm!
This was truly too crazy! Xia Fei clearly knew that breaking the energy circle would deal him severe damage, but he had still given Furball the order to bring everything down!
The moment Furball accelerated, Peacock Blue burst forth from Xia Fei’s right arm, instantly reaching a length of several kilometers, flailing in the air like a monster!
*Rumble!*
Furball slammed right into the intersection of energy, and the equilibrium crumbled swiftly! Crazy amounts of energy swiftly began to surge toward Xia Fei! This was a terrifying energy backlash that could kill any expert!
As this boundless energy was about to touch Xia Fei’s arm, Peacock Blue suddenly bunched into a ball, like a gnarled tree root. It was using its body to block the energy backlash!
*Bang!*
Blue blades of grass filled the air! Peacock Blue was only able to buy a little time, not truly able to stop this energy, and the powerful energy surge had torn Peacock Blue apart.
“Drain!”
Xia Fei used this brief opening to retreat swiftly. At the same time, he opened up his seventh brain region and sought to absorb the energy that had infiltrated his body.
Break, block, absorb, and retreat. This was his entire plan, and while it was meticulously calculated and a product of repeated and complex simulations, could he really escape unscathed?!
*Whoosh!*
The debris of bluegrass floated in the air, blotting out the sky. The absurd power of this energy had left Peacock Blue into tens of thousands of little chunks, severely damaged, but as it was the universe’s most tenacious weed, provided that its roots still lived, it could be reborn!
Surrounded by this bluegrass, Xia Fei showed a savage expression. His arms were both bleeding, and his legendary armor Celestial Sole Warning was covered in countless fine cracks.
This was the price! In order to get out of that dire situation, Xia Fei had accepted being severely wounded!
Nonetheless, he had done it! He had not had a fruitless death in that inescapable energy equilibrium!
Everything had a price! Xia Fei only needed a few seconds to think about it before reaching a conclusion. No one could escape this situation unscathed, and the more they delayed, the worse things would get. After all, every second left maintaining that energy equilibrium consumed large amounts of energy.
A warrior knew when they needed to cut off their hand. This moment demanded courage and madness!
Thus, Xia Fei had ordered Furball to serve as the vanguard in breaking the circle of lethal energy!
This was his resolve!
After seventeen seconds, the God-Demon System’s second threshold had been broken!
…
*Whoosh!*
His surroundings disappeared again, but this time, the system did not take Xia Fei to the third trial at once; instead, it paused for around two seconds.
This was very strange. It must be understood that the God-Demon System had been pressuring Xia Fei from the very first second! It had moved from one scene to the next without giving him even one second to catch his breath.
Not just Xia Fei, even the people in other trial grounds experienced a temporary pause, but it was very brief and did not earn much attention.
In a place not far from where Xia Fei was, there was a chart. On this chart were various dark red bars, each pillar indicating a warrior in the system.
The chart was huge, and the dark red bars were of varying heights. Tall bars meant that the person was quickly passing through trials, while short bars meant that the person was having a tough time advancing through. The bars disappearing meant that the person had died.
The last five names on this chart had no points at all, indicating that these people had just entered the system.
After a brief pause, the numbers under one person’s name began to rise crazily, the numbers climbing higher and higher, and that dark red bar rising to heavens! The speed was simply unheard of!
…
After going through what seemed like a spatial tunnel, Xia Fei found himself on the Earth that he was so familiar with.
The streets were thronged with people, and everything was just as lively as before. Those little food stalls were even awash with alluring aroma. Everything was familiar and realistic.
Xia Fei felt no excitement toward his old home. His face darkened, and killing intent rapidly began to form around him.
“Xia Fei, it’s really you!”
“You’re finally here. We’ve been waiting almost a month! This place is really awful. I can’t get out no matter what I do!”
“Xia Fei, you might have a way of bringing us out of here.”
A second later, Oro, Xia Guanghai, Fuchen, and Ulan rushed out of the crowd, their eyes glowing with excitement.
However, Xia Fei seemed to be very angry, his bleeding arms beginning to tremble…
“I’ll bring you alright. Bring you to death!” Xia Fei roared suddenly, the veins on his forehead bulging!
*Rumble!*
The White Dragon’s Screech roared as he charged at Oro, showing neither fear nor hesitation.
Xia Fei actually did not have too many friends. He was always very cautious, and he believed in the darker side of human nature. He would not trust anyone unless he had known them for a few years and gone through life and death with them.
This was precisely why Xia Fei cared a lot about the friends he did have. Now, the God-Demon System was trying a mental battle, attempting to use Xia Fei’s friends to stir up his emotions so that it could shake him to self-destruct. This made him very angry.
This was not the first time he had run into such clumsy methods. Entering someone’s mind, stealing their most precious thoughts, and then hitting them while they were down… Xia Fei had only one reaction to this: frenzied revenge!
Every person had their sore spots, and this was the worst one of all for Xia Fei!
*Plush!*
Xia Fei instantly killed the four illusions, yet the God-Demon System appeared not to have noticed how contorted his face had become at this point, for it still simulated Avril and Xiao Yu emerging from the crowd.
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei jumped in the air, his eyes exploding with light!
“Ocular Cognition!”
The ultimate secret of the Ghost Eye Fiend Clan, energy surveillance, was activated at full power!
Countless imperceptible white lines appeared, connecting these various human figures. The God-Demon System was using these energy lines to control the movements and forms of these illusions.
There were countless lines, and it was difficult to find the control mechanism for all of the illusions. However, through observation, it was not hard to find out that the illusions were concentrated at the base of the old city wall, in an area covering a radius of five kilometers.
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei descended from the sky like a shooting star, at the same time switching out the White Dragon’s Screech for a pair of unremarkable leather gauntlets.
Twin Ring Roar!
The most brutal offensive weapon in history!
The Twin Wing Roar had no other goal except to deal the opponent a fatal strike!
There were no techniques! The only technique the Twin Wing Roar had was an iron punch!
*Rumble!*
A flurry of punches descended! Several thousand in a split second!
The wall collapsed and the earth fissured!
It was very difficult for Xia Fei to find the node in a five-kilometer-radius circle, so Xia Fei decided not to look for it and just destroy everything!
There was a deafening boom of thunder! Xia Fei had opened a huge wound in this city, causing countless pieces of debris to fly in the air. Before this debris could land, new debris was sent in the air!
The Twin Wing Roar’s power was immense, and there was also the frenzied assault of Peacock Blue and Furball! Although they did not know what Xia Fei was trying to do, both knew that nothing would go wrong if they just followed what he had just done.
Attack, attack, and attack!
In a few seconds, a pit as deep as the Grand Canyon had appeared! Whatever had been done there was thoroughly destroyed!
Since the God-Demon had touched Xia Fei’s reverse scale, it could not escape his frenzied assault!
*Rumble!*
With the last punch, Xia Fei felt like he had hit something, but he did not know exactly what.
His surroundings disappeared instantly, and the third threshold of the God-Demon System was broken!
Time: Nine seconds!
From Four minutes and fifteen seconds to seventeen seconds and then to nine seconds!
Xia Fei had broken through three thresholds in a row, and he was only getting faster and faster!
…
In faraway darkness, that dark red bar, after accelerating twice, accelerated again, the numbers crazily climbing!
It was moving incredibly fast and was about to exceed the system’s limit!
*Pa!*
Suddenly, the chart froze completely!
Zesyr Night, who was in the middle of a tough battle, wiped off her sweat and looked around in confusion.
Those people wearing weird masks had stopped moving, as had all the snowflakes dancing through the air, turning into frozen white dots.
“What’s going on?” she wrinkled her nose and muttered.
She reached out, poked the nearest masked assailant, and found him to be as hard as stone.
Smiling, Zesyr said, “Can’t move any more? Wow, this is rather interesting. It seems like even the God-Demon System can run into problems.”
In the middle of another trial, Qiu Yang had an ashen expression as he delivered a savage punch at a vicious demonic beast. He punched it again and again, but there was no reaction from the creature.
In a raspy voice, Qiu Yang asked sternly, “The God-Demon System has crashed? Who did it?”
“What’s going on?”
“The system crashed?”
“It really crashed? What happened?”
Countless shocked and frightened voices came from every corner of the system.
All of that had been Xia Fei’s doing!
In four minutes and forty-one seconds, Xia Fei had charged through and broken through three thresholds!
The God-Demon System had crashed!
This was something that not even a god could have envisioned!
He was a whole twenty-eight days later than the Dark Spiritualists and fourteen days later than the elites of the Alpha Universe.
However, Xia Fei was Xia Fei!
He might come late, but he would get there eventually!
