The fog became thicker and thicker, completely covering the dark clouds in the sky. Apart from the castle, everything else was excluded from his perception and vision.
An extremely strong rancid smell came from the castle, and a few humanoid monsters rushed out from the broken gate of the castle. The monsters' faces were a strange purple-black color, and their two ape-like claws were climbing on the wall. Their mouths were open, revealing two rows of fine sharp teeth, and their two white pupils were staring at him.
"Hehe, I'll let you have a taste of the corpse monkeys!" The sea-race woman's soft laughter came from the castle.
With a roar, densely packed monstrous monkeys crawled out from every hole in the castle. Their sharp claws tightly grasped the wall, and the stench was overwhelming.
Luo Kai looked around with an expressionless face. The sea-race woman obviously didn't dare to confront him directly, so she controlled these dark creatures to consume his physical strength. But now he had completed the small cycle of water and wood in his small universe, so he didn't need to eat and could survive by absorbing energy from the outside world.
The principle was a bit like the photosynthesis of plants. There was always radiation and water in the air, and they were constantly absorbed into his body. Solitary Yin and Yang would not grow, and solitary Yang would not grow. Water and wood each represented Yin and Yang, and under the cycle of the five viscera and six bowels, his physical strength was almost limitless. Moreover, these dark creatures posed no threat to him, so it was impossible for them to consume his physical strength!
A faint scream came from the castle, and the corpse monkeys squatting on the wall seemed to have received an order. They used their hands and feet to turn into shadows and pounced on him.
Luo Kai's muscles slightly swelled, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The crescent-shaped blade flashed, and puddles of stinky yellow pus splashed out from the corpses. His whole body was wrapped in a layer of silver light, and he quickly strangled the attacking corpse monkeys. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight corpse monkeys were beheaded.
The strong stench assailed his nostrils, and Luo Kai held his breath. Just as he was about to move forward, the Severing Blade in his hand suddenly trembled violently, and issued a frequency similar to a mournful cry.
Luo Kai's expression changed. He looked down and saw that the snow-white blade of the Severing Blade was full of yellow stains, and a yellow smoke was rising. The blade was actually corroding!
He hurriedly reached out his hand to wipe it off. When his palm came in contact with the yellow pus, he felt a corrosive pain. Ignoring the pain, he lifted up his clothes and wiped off the yellow pus on the blade. The tough silk clothes that Xi Jinghui gave him also began to corrode rapidly after coming in contact with the yellow pus. Soon, a few large holes appeared on the clothes. The blood of the Corpse Monkey was so terrifying.
The surrounding corpse monkeys had already gathered. This time, Luo Kai didn't dare to face them head-on. His throat trembled slightly, and an invisible ripple formed into a ripple that rapidly spread in all directions. The air seemed to be rolling, and the nearby dark creatures immediately became sluggish. The weak dark creatures suddenly collapsed, and the red light in their eye sockets quickly faded away. As long as they were living creatures, they would have a consciousness, but their consciousness had already been shaken off by the sound wave.
However, these corpse monkeys had extremely strong physiques, and they recovered after being sluggish for a moment. They were very smart, and they didn't try to get close to him. Instead, they surrounded him. Their cheeks were bulging, and their big stomachs were heaving up and down. They spurted out yellow pus that was emitting a strong stench.
It seemed like the low-intensity sound wave technique couldn't do anything to these corpse monkeys. Luo Kai didn't have the time to pay attention to them. He shuttled back and forth like lightning, and spat out a ball of water essence at the Severing Blade. However, it still didn't have any effect. Even if the yellow pus on the blade's surface was wiped off, the Severing Blade's texture had clearly become brittle. That mournful frequency became more and more intense, as if it was facing death.
This curved long blade had accompanied him in battle for a long time, and it had already established a connection with him that was similar to human kinship. He could no longer maintain his calm state of mind, and his violent anger rose up unstoppably. The baleful energy in his chest sensed the intense change in his emotions, and began to roll violently. His eyes immediately turned pitch-black, and those specks of starlight were quickly submerged in the darkness.
Once the ferocious killing intent was ignited, it could no longer be stopped. His heart beat faster and faster, and soon reached a critical point. His blood became scorching hot, and boundless heat filled his body and soul. His body began to expand, and he turned into a five meter tall giant.
This castle was the place where the evil cult studied the dark secret arts. Countless creatures had been tortured to death, and the resentment of the dead was extremely deep. Now that there was finally a frequency that was compatible with them, they fought to convey their unwillingness and resentment, and even more so, they wanted to pull the living creatures to return to heaven and earth with them. Wisps of grey baleful energy rose from every corner, and flocked towards him.
The violent grey baleful energy seeped into his body, and his skin turned gray. The baleful energy in his chest circulated rapidly, constantly absorbing the baleful energy from the outside world. The circulation speed became faster and faster, and when the baleful energy was compressed to a certain extent, it completed the transformation of substance. Soon, his entire body was burning with black baleful flames, and his pitch-black vortex-like eyes shot out a foot-long black light, like a demon from hell.
All the dark creatures nearby felt a penetrating chill, and this chill seemed to freeze their souls. They could not help but fall to the ground, and the world seemed to become quiet.
The middle-aged woman and the other two people in black robes in the castle were shocked.
"This … this human can use baleful energy!"
"Oh no, he's absorbing baleful energy like crazy. I'm afraid it won't be long before he completes the infusion of baleful energy, and we'll become the first sacrifices of the baleful demon. Let's go!" The middle-aged woman thought of something, and hurriedly hugged the Liuluang Zither in front of her chest, turned around, and ran.
Those who completed the infusion of baleful energy could be called baleful demons, and they were already pure energy lifeforms. They could almost ignore all attacks, and their combat power was not weaker than a transcendent Saint. If they continued to absorb baleful energy, even a Saint would not be able to deal with them.
Among the six major energies of heaven and earth, the other energies were the basic forces that constructed matter, but baleful energy was different. It represented a kind of destructive force. Once any lifeform resonated with baleful energy, it would definitely become a destructive lifeform, and it would take the destruction of all things as its responsibility. It would be a great enemy of all living things.
Luo Kai violently rushed into the castle, and a big hole was smashed in the solid wall. Wherever he went, all the dark creatures were corroded into wisps of green smoke, but his consciousness was still clear. Although the baleful energy was constantly trying to transform his body and assimilate his consciousness, he was now completely different from before. Before he could do anything, the dark energy in his body resisted. The baleful energy could not invade his blood, so it could only transform his muscles and skin. His internal organs were protected by the water and wood element, which also repelled the baleful energy from invading.
Only his spiritual consciousness was affected by the baleful energy's impulse to destroy all things, but he did not plan to stop now, and might as well kill to his heart's content.
