Virus King - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Abyssal Blood Battle! This is the Abyss!

TL: YYang

Blood!

The same dark red blood splattered wantonly over Chen Bai’s body. At this moment, he looked as though he had just been fished out of a pool of blood.

Of course, this blood was not his own, but that of the creatures before him!

Demons!

On the Biochemical Disaster, remnants of torn flesh still clung to it, and viscous liquid seemed to drip from the wounds, flowing toward Chen Bai’s palm.

However, Chen Bai did not have the time to pay attention to this. Instead, he focused his gaze on the figures slowly encircling him!

If the word “cunning” could ever be attributed to the devil species, then “powerful” was always the term used to describe demons!

And now, this was no exception!

Chen Bai, however, didn’t seem concerned. Instead, a smile crept onto his face.

“A human?! You actually dare to enter the Abyss? Haha, according to my inherited memories, human flesh and blood are incomparably delicious! No one compete with me! This human is mine!”

Among the encircling figures, the first to speak was a demon with an exceptionally tall and imposing form.

Chen Bai’s Spiritual Perception instantly gave him feedback!

[Lesser Demon – Demon Warrior (Level 16)]

[Attributes: …]

A level 16 Demon Warrior with demon bloodline! This was an entity that had already undergone a profession transfer, and even more than that, it was undoubtedly a BOSS-level unit!

If this creature were to appear in Blue Star’s evolution grounds now, it would be capable of single-handedly annihilating countless Evolvers!

The physique of a demon made its strength incredibly formidable.

Its stamina seemed utterly inexhaustible.

Such a creature, which would be a nightmare for Evolvers at this stage and would represent an overwhelming, insurmountable challenge, could be found everywhere on the 1st Layer of the Abyss!

Because this was the Abyss!

Chen Bai’s pupils slowly took on a blood-red, murderous gleam.

The blood in his veins, dormant for so long, was ignited by his battle intent at this moment!

He paid no attention to the other bloodthirsty demons eyeing him. He knew that “shoot the bird that pokes its head out” was the rule here. This Demon Warrior, who displayed some skill and ability, was undoubtedly the best prey!

The Biochemical Disaster’s massive claws once again extended outward, the black and red mycelium carpet wrapping around Chen Bai’s entire body.

In this moment, he no longer even resembled a human!

He looked as though he were a true demon.

A demon of bloodlust and slaughter, crazed beyond reason!

Chen Bai seemed as if he had been born for this place. In his previous life, he had been deeply satisfied with the Demon Hunter profession.

But the Dark Mother Goddess’s contract, which had come at a great and unimaginable cost, had forced him to change to the Apostle of Desire, a profession that completely restrained his combat capabilities.

Even though his profession’s rank had increased, Chen Bai was acutely aware that it was not suited for him.

Now, as he once again descended into this Abyss, as he once again rampaged across this land—

Slaughter and combat, blood and death—these were the themes he truly craved!

Chen Bai’s speed was such that the taunting Demon Warrior didn’t even have time to react.

The claws extended, and as it instinctively raised its arm in defense—

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, sharp and grating in the air!

Yet, the claws that penetrated its body did not stop. Instead, in that moment, they extended further, directly skewering its arm and head together!

A level 16 Demon Warrior!

And in the face of Chen Bai, who had not even undergone a profession transfer, it could only end with two words:

Instant kill!

Dark red demon blood flowed freely.

The same black and red mycelium carpet and tentacles instantly enveloped the Demon Warrior!

The level 16 Demon Warrior, unable to even react, was swallowed whole by the black and red Darklight Virus, leaving not the slightest trace of life behind. The writhing mass absorbed its prey, converting it into nourishment for Chen Bai.

[Devoured a special lifeform, obtaining 14 exclusive Darklight Virus evolution points!]

[Devoured a special lifeform. The Darklight Virus has detected a unique bloodline mixed within this creature. You may choose to absorb the bloodline or expel it.]

A surge of vitality and restored stamina caused the murderous light in Chen Bai’s eyes to blaze even brighter!

He now resembled a tiger that had broken into a flock of sheep—satiated from a feast, yet still unsatisfied, already seeking his next prey to devour!

Under his gaze, even these demons couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear.

But in the very next moment, this fear transformed into fury—into rage and madness!

After all, they were demons!

One of the most powerful species across all the myriad realms of existence, a race from the Abyss that even the gods dared not tread lightly upon!

Their strength was enough to inspire reverence, even from divine beings. Although these particular demons were far from that level of power, they were certainly not weaklings to be disdained by frail, lowly humans!

And so, enraged roars echoed across the entire 1st Layer of the Abyss!

Among demons, there were naturally those with high intelligence, capable of being as cunning as the devil species. However, on this 1st Layer of the Abyss, the low-level demons present clearly lacked such cunning traits!

…

This battlefield of blood and slaughter, which struck fear into the hearts of countless beings across the myriad realms, was no longer a place of dread.

It had become Chen Bai’s paradise!

Three flying swords, controlled by Chen Bai’s terrifying telekinesis, pierced through the demons with ease.

‘Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!’

The continuous sound of punctured flesh echoed without pause.

Their supposedly indestructible, dragon-like tough skin and powerful bodies—so often a point of pride for demons—proved no match for the absolute sharpness of his flying swords.

The Darklight Virus’s Devouring, combined with the Tyrant’s Claw from the Biochemical Disaster, allowed Chen Bai to rapidly recover any stamina he expended.

His robust regenerative abilities enabled him to wreak havoc in the Abyss without fear of injury!

He had no higher purpose, no hidden goal. The only thing driving him was simple:

Slaughter.

Cutting his way upward!

Behind him, the path he had carved seemed drenched in blood, a seemingly endless trail marking his rampage.

One corpse after another was absorbed, and the evolution points of the Darklight Virus climbed at an unimaginable pace.

Ever since entering the Abyss, save for the initial moments when he advanced toward the Abyssal Well, Chen Bai had spent every minute consumed by killing.

Toward the Abyssal Well, he forcibly hacked out a bloody path, step by step.

This was the Abyss!

A place where only those who rose above through combat and slaughter could truly survive!
