Luo Kai stopped attacking, and so did the fish-headed, dragon-bodied fish beast. Its pair of bell-like eyes revealed a human-like expression.
Beasts evolved from animals. In this era of great evolution, the living environment of all kinds of species was extremely harsh. Gradually, they became more and more sensitive to possible dangers in the process of fierce competition. Gradually, they evolved a kind of ability to seize the good fortune of heaven and earth, and that was to seek fortune and avoid disaster!
They would instinctively detect things that were beneficial to them in advance, and they would also sense the existence of threats.
Now, the giant fish felt a kind of threat from this seemingly fragile human, but its dignity as a superior lifeform did not allow it to escape.
Its belly began to expand, and an even more powerful air cannon was gradually being prepared.
Luo Kai floated under the giant fish's head. Dense bloody wounds appeared all over his skin, and blood fell down like raindrops.
The external injuries were secondary. The key was that he could no longer suppress the awakening of this body's consciousness.
He could easily erase it, and then temporarily occupy this body. After the spiritual plane was no longer disturbed, he would be able to unleash 100% of his spiritual power. However, he was not confident that he could defeat this complete beast. Although spiritual power could increase one's combat strength, it also needed a strong body to do so.
He sighed softly, and a hazy ball of starlight left his body. That was his soul.
When his soul left his body, the sunlight shone on it, and green smoke immediately rose. Even the scorching sun could not compare to this.
Then, a bone-chilling wind blew, almost freezing him.
This was a kind of pain that came from the soul, and the degree of pain was far above the physical body.
Pain could destroy a person's will to fight, but it could also stimulate one's potential.
Like the physical body, the power contained in the subconscious of a life was also endless.
Luo Kai's soul eyes, which were formed by two starlights, became even brighter. He suddenly understood something in his heart.
Humans were born weak, but they were also strong in death.
Plants were born weak, but they withered in death.
Therefore, the strong died, and the weak lived.
Therefore, the strong soldiers were destroyed, and the strong trees were broken.
The strong were at the bottom, and the weak were at the top.
Humans were the same as plants. When they were alive, they were soft and tough. When they withered and died, they would become stiff and straight. Things that were strong were easily damaged, while things that were weak were everlasting.
Compared to the body, the soul was extremely weak. However, the body was easy to die, but the soul was eternal!
Everything originated from the same source. Religion and science, which focused on the spiritual level, ultimately led to the same destination. The body was only the macroscopic manifestation of life, and what dominated it was the soul on the microscopic level.
From a scientific point of view, a soul was equivalent to a system program. It might undergo countless formatting, but it would never die.
The belly of the giant fish beast swelled into a ball, resembling a long, giant pufferfish. It couldn't see Luo Kai's soul. In its senses, this human seemed to have suddenly died, but the threat was still there.
It blinked its huge eyes in confusion. The Air Cannon that had been brewing in its stomach had lost its target and could only aim at the city below.
Boom!
A crater several hundred meters wide appeared in the center of the city.
Just like that, the giant fish continued to bombard the city as if it was venting its anger. It shook its head and swung its tail, letting out a satisfied roar.
Its ability was to control the wind and clouds, or to control the atmosphere. Its ability had reached a very deep microscopic level, touching on the ultimate secrets of the transformation of matter and even the creation of matter. It was an ability that only gods had.
Most technological weapons required combustion to form energy conversion, and combustion required oxygen. However, it could limit the production of oxygen, so most technological weapons couldn't be used.
Luo Kai's soul floated in the air, watching from afar. While resisting the attack of external energy, he was also thinking of a way to deal with this beast.
He had encountered several complete Direbeasts. Although they were extremely powerful, they were not invulnerable. There was nothing in the world that couldn't be solved. The key was to find a solution.
However, now that he had lost his physical body, it meant that he had lost the channel to use his power. In other words, he had lost his physical attack ability.
Different life forms were good at different things. The most powerful thing a soul could do was to possess a body. However, Direbeasts were different from humans. They were born with strong mental defenses.
On one hand, Direbeasts didn't have complicated emotions like humans. On the other hand, their bodies were too strong.
The body and consciousness were complementary. The strength of the body could affect the consciousness, and the tenacity of the consciousness could also affect the body. Therefore, powerful Direbeasts generally wouldn't be affected by negative emotions. They had a strong resistance to mental attacks.
The only other way was to control the energy of heaven and earth. His consciousness directly resonated with the water element that was everywhere in the world. The wind and clouds that were originally caused by the giant fish were divided into two. A large mass was cut out, and thunder rumbled. There were even tiny arcs of lightning flashing.
When he was in his soul state, there was almost no barrier between him and the energy of heaven and earth. In an instant, he condensed the strongest power. This was a power that could even destroy the Evil God's consciousness.
Just as the lightning flashed, the giant fish immediately sensed the danger. Its bell-sized eyes revealed a look of panic. Without hesitation, it turned around and fled. With the help of the violent airflow, it disappeared in an instant.
Direbeasts' natural survival instinct to seek fortune and avoid disaster was too strong.
Luo Kai could only give up. He dispersed the thunderclouds in the sky and fluttered down, re-entering Zhang Kui's body.
Po had been paying close attention. He ran over early, carried him, and ran because many military physical trainers had also rushed over. Guangyuan Prefecture belonged to the North Town Luo family. Those guys in the Luo family had always been hostile to the Green Lotus Business Alliance. Her identity was not a secret, so it was best not to have any dealings with her.
The red robe on her body came from a type of Direbeast, the Blood Bat Beast. It had the effect of concealing aura and controlling airflow. In addition to the secret stealth technique she cultivated, even physical trainers couldn't find her. She just didn't know how the guy on her back found her.
Po found a hidden basement and put the person on her back down. He looked carefully, even his pores were not spared.
He didn't know why the giant fish suddenly ran away. He couldn't see the battle in the sky clearly, but the guy in front of him was obviously an existence comparable to a Saint. Most importantly, why did he feel that he was a little familiar?
…
Now, there were many empty houses in the outer city. Some of the houses were still left with rotten corpses. The corpses were covered with insects, which looked extremely horrifying.
The Wood Transformation Disease suddenly broke out in various areas where humans lived. Countless people became infected. Some turned into rotting wood and died immediately, while others turned into extremely aggressive monsters.
In addition, strange incorporeal creatures also appeared in the city. The social order was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the appearance of the mechanical sentinels temporarily stopped the evil creatures from invading the human cities.
The programmed mechanical sentinels ignored the incorporeal creatures. Their combat power was extremely strong, which greatly made up for the lack of high-end combat power of humans.
However, the food crisis gradually became more prominent. Originally, food was distributed once a day, but now it was only distributed once every three days. It was simply impossible to maintain survival. A large number of people risked their lives to seek a way to survive in the wild, while those who stayed could only rely on themselves. People scattered in the city to find any way to survive.
