Chapter 267: Terror Revives
Looking at Zhang Chen's confident demeanor, the black-robed figure within the body of the Innate Mosquito wanted to cry.
You're not falling for it?
You're so not falling for it!!!
No matter how much it pleaded, Zhang Chen remained unmoved, refusing to stop. The black-robed figure was so angry that it cursed directly: "You son of a bitch, you damned thing, do you want to die? You'll kill us all like this!"
Just as it spoke, the red lotus had bloomed to the sixth grade.
With the red lotus blooming to the sixth grade, the speed at which it absorbed the aura of fate suddenly increased tenfold. The Innate Mosquito's blood poured into Zhang Chen's body. The black-robed figure gnashed its teeth in anger and became even more anxious: "Boy, stop now! If you don't stop, once you've devoured seventy percent of its blood, this monster will revive. When that happens, it can blow you away with a single breath."
"It's blowing me away, what does it have to do with you? Didn't you kick me into the sea of blood before, wishing you could kill me directly? Why are you so afraid of me dying now?" Zhang Chen heard this and teased the black-robed figure with a playful expression.
"I wish I could cut you into a thousand pieces. You can die, but don't drag me into this. You damned, plague-ridden bastard, you'll be punished," the black-robed figure cursed, its voice full of anger.
Zhang Chen ignored it and continued to devour the blood. In just half a day, the red lotus had bloomed to the seventh grade.
At the instant the red lotus bloomed to the seventh grade, the seventh petal of the blood-colored lotus in Zhang Chen's body blossomed. At this moment, the Innate Mosquito's body trembled slightly, a strange rhythm flowing across its skin, and a trace of terrifying energy slowly flowed within its body.
"It really revived!"
Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Mosquito's revitalized body, secretly surprised.
"Ant, daring to steal my blood and aura of fate, you deserve to die!"
At this moment, an angry voice echoed through the sky, like a thunderclap exploding in Zhang Chen's ears. Then, the giant mosquito's mouth, like a pillar supporting the sky, stabbed towards Zhang Chen.
"Crap, it really woke up!"
Zhang Chen was shocked and was about to turn into a bloody light and escape, but who knew that the mosquito's mouth had a strange power that seemed to suppress the space around Zhang Chen, making his body unable to move. Even the mana and energy in Zhang Chen's body were suppressed at that instant.
"Is the gap between me and an Innate being this big?" Zhang Chen looked at the mosquito's huge mouth falling down, his eyes full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that he couldn't even escape in the face of such an existence.
Seeing that the mosquito's mouth was about to fall and kill Zhang Chen, the black-robed figure's voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
Then, the mouth stopped a hundred zhang above Zhang Chen's head. Not only did the mouth stop, but even the power suppressing Zhang Chen disappeared.
The black-robed figure couldn't let Zhang Chen die! If it were before, it wouldn't matter if he died, but now that the Innate Mosquito had revived, it couldn't withstand it.
"Boy, I'll fight it for control of the body. You quickly devour its blood. Only by devouring its blood and reducing its power can we have a chance to win," the black-robed figure's anxious voice echoed in the void: "We've been forced into a dead end. If this monster gets free, none of us will be able to escape. Only by you and I working together to suppress it can we have a chance to survive."
As the black-robed figure's words fell, the Innate Mosquito's roar resounded through the void: "You, the loser, dare to covet my body, wanting to take me over? You truly overestimate yourself. Even at your peak, you couldn't do anything to me, let alone in your crippled state. Originally, your remnant soul was hiding in the dark, and I couldn't find you, but now you've come out to die. Then I'll grant your wish."
Then, Zhang Chen felt two invisible forces clashing within the Innate Mosquito's body, constantly impacting the blood. One force wanted to suppress Zhang Chen to death, while the other force constantly resolved the attacks for Zhang Chen.
"Boy, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and suck blood!" Seeing that Zhang Chen was a little distracted, the black-robed figure cursed him as a pig teammate and reminded him from the side: "This is the Innate Mosquito's home ground. I'm definitely not its opponent, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long. Only by you constantly sucking its blood, weakening its power, and continuously lowering its strength, will I have a chance to defeat it."
Hearing the other party's urging, Zhang Chen didn't hesitate and directly mobilized his divine power, devouring its blood like a whale.
"Ant, stop immediately! If you stop now and leave, I, the ancestor, can spare your life. Our grudges will be written off, and I will no longer pursue your crimes of stealing my aura of fate and blood. Otherwise, when I get free, you will definitely die," another cold voice rang out, constantly threatening Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen didn't say much after hearing this, but just silently sucked blood. As the blood was absorbed and the vast aura of fate was devoured, another change occurred in Zhang Chen's crystal core. The blood-red lotus had now bloomed to the eighth grade.
The lotus was bright red like blood, like jade, sparkling with a glowing light, with a strange rhythm flowing.
With the lotus blooming to the eighth grade, the fragrance in Zhang Chen's crystal core became even more unique. That wonderful fragrance permeated Zhang Chen's hundred acupoints, cleansing his soul and body, making him feel like an immortal.
At this moment, the ten thousand zhang of red light in the sea of blood converged, turning into a fist-sized, vaguely shaped infant, directly falling onto the eighth-grade lotus platform and disappearing into it.
Zhang Chen was stunned by the scene before him. He didn't know what was happening in his crystal core. All of this was too strange and had exceeded his understanding.
"You dare to steal my blood path aura of fate! Return my aura of fate, and I will spare you!" The Innate Mosquito roared angrily, its proboscis swinging back and forth in the air, sometimes approaching Zhang Chen, but then inexplicably flying away.
"I didn't expect you, kid, to be so evil, actually able to steal its aura of fate. Continue to work hard, as long as you plunder all of its aura of fate. When its aura of fate is exhausted, the heavens will naturally punish it, and you and I can achieve final victory," the black-robed man was overjoyed at this moment, his voice full of ecstasy.
"You can't! No one in this world can kill me!" The Innate Mosquito roared angrily, but as the blood was devoured by Zhang Chen and the aura of fate was stolen by Zhang Chen, its strength became weaker and weaker, gradually fighting to a draw with the black-robed figure. Before they knew it, a robe covered one of its wings and one of its thighs.
"Damn guy, get out of my body!" The Innate Mosquito cursed angrily at this moment.
"Heh heh heh, you swallowed my body back then, only then did you have the chance to transform. Now I'm seizing your body, it's just repaying a debt," the black-robed figure sneered.
Just as the two were struggling, the lotus in Zhang Chen's body bloomed to the ninth grade. A strange red flame suddenly burned from the gaps in the lotus petals, wrapping the entire blood-red lotus.
At this moment, the lotus pond in the sea of blood suddenly swelled, actually turning into a hundred li in size, densely packed with blood-red lotuses. First-grade, third-grade, and seventh-grade lotuses were constantly blooming. In an instant, the blood-red lotuses in the sea of blood world were enchantingly beautiful, a breathtaking sight.
Only the central ninth-grade lotus flower shimmered with red flames; the remaining lotus flowers had no crimson flames burning.
Meanwhile, the innate mosquito, seeing Zhang Chen, this vampire, sucking more and more intensely, feared that if it couldn't deal with him in time, it wouldn't be long before it couldn't withstand the black-robed monster's attempt to seize control and would capsize in the gutter.
So, it secretly hardened its heart. The next moment, one of its wings vibrated, sacrificing an unknown price, and the wing, like a bolt of lightning, instantly cut through the void, slashing towards Zhang Chen.
"Boy, dodge quickly!" the black-robed monster exclaimed, hurriedly reminding him.
But this was an attack from an innate being; the wing was as fast as lightning. How could Zhang Chen possibly dodge it?
The next moment, Zhang Chen was directly cut in half at the waist by that wing. The lower half of his body fell directly to the ground, while his upper half remained hanging in mid-air because his hand had teeth embedded in the innate mosquito's body.
"Heh heh heh~, this bug is already dead. What makes you think you can fight me, old fellow? Let me devour your undying spirituality and completely unify the great destiny of the Blood Dao," the innate mosquito's strange laughter echoed through the void, then taking the opportunity, it intensified its offensive, overwhelming Zhang Chen with supernatural means.
Upon seeing this, the black-robed monster was greatly alarmed and couldn't help but shout out, "Zhang Chen, you damned thing! You've really screwed me over! This old ancestor's life is over!"
Although his words were full of despair, the black-robed monster still didn't give up resisting but continued to contend with the innate mosquito.
At this moment, neither of them noticed that the blood from Zhang Chen's fallen lower half re-ascended, pouring into Zhang Chen's upper body. Then, Zhang Chen's upper body regenerated and reorganized, and with the supply of the innate mosquito's powerful Qi and blood, Zhang Chen had completed limb regeneration in just seven or eight breaths.
The two were fighting to the point of white-hot intensity, and no one paid attention to Zhang Chen's changes.
Zhang Chen quietly made a fortune, not causing any commotion, just quietly absorbing the innate mosquito's blood. After who knows how long, the blood-red lotus in Zhang Chen's crystal core bloomed into a tenth grade.
Meanwhile, the innate mosquito's nascent soul, which was contending for control with the black-robed monster, suddenly changed, and its offensive was unexpectedly weakened by a lot, shocking the innate mosquito: "How could this be?"
The black-robed monster, who was originally at a disadvantage facing the innate mosquito's offensive and was on the verge of being devoured, suddenly found that the opponent's power had inexplicably decreased by ten percent at this critical moment. This gave him an opportunity, and he seized it, quickly launching a counterattack and temporarily stabilizing his position.
"Impossible!" The innate mosquito quickly sensed its body and, the next moment, sensed the anomaly in its own body: "Damn ant, you're not dead yet. Your vitality is indeed tenacious, but so what? It's all over! I won't give you another chance this time!"
As it spoke, its proboscis pierced through the void, heading straight for Zhang Chen, wanting to stab Zhang Chen to death.
Seeing that Zhang Chen wasn't dead, the black-robed monster was overjoyed. As long as Zhang Chen wasn't dead, the two of them had a chance to turn defeat into victory. So, it quickly fought for control of the proboscis. Just as the proboscis was about to pierce Zhang Chen, the innate mosquito's proboscis suddenly stopped in the void.
"You're courting death!" The innate mosquito's angry roar echoed through the void. This roar was directed at the black-robed monster because the other party's fight for control of the proboscis had ruined its plan.
At this time, the black-robed monster's voice sounded in Zhang Chen's ear: "Boy, just absorb the innate mosquito's blood. Last time he cut you down, it was just an accident. I will never give him another chance to attack you. Just devour it with peace of mind. Even if I risk my life, I will protect you."
The black-robed monster was afraid that Zhang Chen would be frightened and run away, leaving it to die, so it quickly made a guarantee to Zhang Chen: "Just go ahead and suck blood; leave the rest to me."
Zhang Chen remained silent upon hearing this. Of course, he would absorb the blood. Now, he had formed a deadly feud with this monster. He had seized the other party's destiny. Perhaps in this monster's heart, its hatred for him had surpassed that of the black-robed monster.
Destiny is definitely the most mysterious thing in the world, possessing incredible power and is the most mysterious creation in the world.
While speaking, Zhang Chen's lotus bloomed into the eleventh grade. The blood-red lotus flickered slightly, and another petal appeared.
Most importantly, a lotus seed suddenly grew in the blood-red lotus platform. However, this was not the end. The lotus platform transformed for a while, and soon thirty-five more lotus seeds evolved, adding up to thirty-six with the first one.
As Zhang Chen continued to absorb the innate mosquito's destiny, one of the lotus seeds on the lotus platform vibrated slightly and transformed into a spring, and crimson spring water emerged from the blood-colored spring, flowing into the endless sea of blood beneath Zhang Chen's feet.
"Boy! You're courting death! You want to seize my Blood Dao destiny. Even if I die, I will never let you succeed. Even if I scatter my Dao to the world, giving this forty percent of the Blood Dao destiny to all living beings, I will never give it to you!" Seeing that it was difficult to reverse Zhang Chen's momentum of seizing the Blood Dao destiny, the innate mosquito couldn't help but burst into curses, its voice full of anger.
His blood accounted for seventy percent of the Blood Dao destiny, his flesh accounted for twenty percent, and his soul accounted for ten percent.
"No! Are you crazy!" The black-robed monster's voice was full of horror upon hearing the other party's words, and then it hurriedly roared at Zhang Chen: "Stop sucking! Run quickly! This guy is crazy! He's going to fight us to the death!"
Zhang Chen was startled upon hearing the black-robed monster's words, and a sense of inexplicable crisis surged into his heart, but his crystal core was sending out an urgent desire, as if as long as all thirty-six of his blood-red lotus seeds were hatched into blood springs, he would receive great benefits.
Run?
Or continue?
At this moment, Zhang Chen was caught in a dilemma, not knowing whether to listen to the black-robed monster's words and quickly flee this place or continue to devour blood.
"Damn it, could it be that the black-robed monster has already gained the upper hand, or even controlled the innate mosquito's nascent soul? This guy is deliberately directing and acting to deceive me in order to prevent me from continuing to seize the innate mosquito's destiny?" At this time, Zhang Chen's suspicion arose again.
After all, no matter who wins between the black-robed monster and the innate mosquito, the destiny will belong to one of them, and not benefit Zhang Chen, an outsider.
"I say, could it be that you two are now evenly matched, so you're thinking of kicking me out of the game?" Zhang Chen asked a question of interrogation.
"You damn..." The black-robed man was speechless with anger: "You really are a talent."
The innate mosquito's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Black-robed monster, didn't we just discuss that destiny is the most important thing? No matter who wins, we can't benefit this kid. Let's kick this kid out of the game first, but now this kid has actually seen through it. What should we do?"
"I'll kick your mom, this is impossible to explain!" The black-robed monster couldn't help but burst out with foul language.
