Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 468

Chapter 468: 468

The battlefield was chaotic . No one had expected the war to escalate to this scale, but Xue Wei was full of delightful and somewhat manic pleasure as he was killing one expert after another .

He felt how his soul was being nourished as he absorbed the soul power of each of the people he killed . Never allowing them to reincarnate, but not feeling even the slightest guilt .

It was not only him, all the experts who specialized in Spiritual Energy would also all absorb the dense and thick soul power permeating through the air .

The smile on Xue Wei’s lips grew increasingly malevolent as he stepped further and further towards the enemy lines .

All his friends knew that the killing intent was taking over his rational thoughts, but they did not stop him . It was so rare for him to let go, and when he finally had the chance, who were they to try and stop it for him?

"Everyone, Xue Wei has gone rogue, the rest of us are to protect Lin Xiao with our lives!" Bai Tianyi called out, but he was not mad . Instead, an amused smile hung on his lips as he glanced at Xue Wei .

Xue Wei’s eyes were shining coldly, but with a bit of happiness deep within . He had long since transformed his hands and arms into that of a dragon’s, and he no longer conjured up a Qi sword . Instead, he used his bare fists to rip apart anyone who came into striking distance .

He was feeling the enjoyable smell of blood waft into his nose, and the beastly side of his personality was getting stronger and stronger, but he still retained a slight bit of rational thought .

He knew that if he genuinely descended into madness, it would be impossible for him to extract himself again in the future, and that he would end up as a killing machine that would not differentiate between friend and foe .

Taking a deep breath, he looked around the battlefield . While it was entirely possible for him to continue on like now, ripping apart person after person, and experiencing the feeling of being bathed in blood, he aimed for something different .

He had come here to try and get his potential ignited, and it would never happen unless he was in a life and death battle .

As such, he was looking for a strong individual whom he could fight against, and test his strength .

"Little Wei, why don’t you approach the cages?" Lan’s voice suddenly rang in Xue Wei’s head . "They captured one of your friends inside them, don’t you want to save that little bird from the Chi branch? Not to mention, the stronger experts are likely to have been positioned around the cage, ensuring that no one can allow the birds to escape . "

Xue Wei contemplated for a moment as he glanced towards the cage . The battle was frenzied, and the blood flowed like rivers down to the ground; the soil could simply not absorb the sheer amount of blood that was falling, and it turned to a thick and nauseating bloody mud that stuck to everyone’s feet .

The Emperor and King Ranked experts fought one another in the air, their battle producing many ripples of energy which landed on the ground, tormenting anyone who was so unlucky to be hit .

Seeing that they were engaged in an air battle, and that all the Knights and Saints were fighting on the ground, Xue Wei decided to fight his way towards the cage .

Although he did not know how he would fare against stronger Saints, he knew that he would have to try it out .

The stronger the enemy, the better the chances of him breaking through would be .

The first, many layers of soldiers were quickly dealt with . They died like the others before, killed with his bare hands, which had been transformed into dragon claws with scales adorning his skin .

Up until now, Xue Wei had managed to proceed by using only raw strength, but as he was getting closer and closer towards the cage, much stronger opponents started appearing in front of him .

Xue Wei’s most used ability, while transformed into a half-dragon, was the Devouring Fist . The Devouring Fist was a technique that allowed the user’s punch to devour the opponent’s energy . Whether or not they used their energy to protect or attack, Devouring Fist was capable of devouring this energy and converting it into the energy of the user .

He also used the Shattering Mountain Palm, which was amongst the first techniques he ever learned, but it scaled with his level .

When he had first learned the technique, he was capable of destroying rocks with it, but now he could even shatter a real mountain .

When he was faced off against more tricky opponents, he would use the Arcane Fist . The Arcane Fist was a technique that moved elusively . It created fist imprints, and they were hard to spot . Sometimes one imprint would be created, something multiple imprints, but due to the nature of the attack, it was tough to block .

But he was not only using his hands, but the legs were also sweeping towards his opponents, carrying with them an immense strength . He mainly used two attacks when kicking, Kick of the Raging Tempest, and Kick of the Forgotten Kings .

Xue Wei was not only relying on his physical abilities but also tried out the spiritual energy attacks, such as Psychic Wrath and Deadly Whispers .

These two attacks had not been used for a long time, but they were now very useful after gaining so much Soul Power .

Psychic Wrath was similar to Qi, it materialized spiritual energy as a seal outside of the body, and it was a quite rare technique .

While Psychic Wrath was very similar to Qi, Deadly Whispers was aimed solely at the opponent’s mind . It corroded the mind by making them succumb to their worries; it made them feel extreme amounts of fear, which would slow down their actions if it could not cause them to succumb to their concerns directly .
