Chapter 302 302: Ghost SkyNet
?
"If you think rushing me is going to work, then you are sorely mistaken." The Eternal Justice demon said with a wide grin on its face.
With his more than 40 feet-long body, even when constrained and wrapped up like a donut to barely fight on Gospel Peak, it wasn't going to be easy for any demon to easily get close to its body. With a single thought, the dozens of ghosts chasing after Yoze's blood mist began laughing with a demonic tone.
"Hohoho!"
The ghosts laughing caused Yoze to tighten his eyebrows as he pondered what the Eternal Justice demon planned on doing. Still, he didn't stop for a second as he quickly arrived in front of the giant slug demon.
Clenching his fist to form a tight punch, Yoze thought about three words that caused his blood armor to boil rapidly. Sharp sounds of cracking bones came from his punching arm as it quickly tripled in size.
"Blood Breaker Fist!"
As Yoze's fist shattered the air and unintentionally caused the air around him to rapidly increase in temperature by several degrees, he suddenly felt his mind burning as he somehow found that he had missed his punch.
"Boom!!!!!"
Several seconds after Yoze completed his punch and retreated from the giant slug demon, the sound of his punch had finally arrived and rapidly spread dozens of miles. The sound was so loud that it was several times louder than thunder and caused an uncountable number of creatures to panic.
While the devastation from his punch continued, the criminal himself looked at the dozens of red ghosts forming into a giant net above the mountain. With a grim look underneath his boiling blood armor that was rapidly thinning, Yoze unconsciously touched his head as he felt his spiritual energies protecting it.
"What an incredible technique. It combined the power of all of its spiritual energy ghosts and lifted them into the air so that all the power was spread evenly across Gospel Peak without any discrimination. Even though the power was drastically cut due to being spread around a large area, it was enough to penetrate my defenses and burn some of my thoughts."
"If my spiritual energies hadn't been activated in time to prevent more of my thoughts from being burned into nothingness, I might have punched myself. I'm not even sure I can endure my full-powered Blood Breaker Fist, even with my blood armor and iron defenses." Yoze thought to himself as he shook his sore arm.
Even though his ability to save more and more energy and use it more effectively grew with time, thanks to his grade 4 Life Attraction talent, it still took him three shakes before the soreness in his arm was relieved. The mere power of a Blood Breaker Fist was far above his Blood Fist, even when he had broken through its limits.
He hadn't yet reached the peak of his Blood Breaker body cultivation and its complementary martial art techniques. Once he reached the pinnacle of this body cultivation method and its martial art techniques, he planned to perfectly incorporate it into his Blood Weapon Handler body cultivation method.
As for now, he could only effectively pair the two body methods together at the drawback of having to rapidly consume his blood. If it wasn't for the fact that he had two hearts and one of them was the Blood Heart, he would have been on life support from that one punch.
"This is to be expected from a demon that is 120 years old. Even though it has the fewest number of talents I seem a demon has, it is still quite powerful." Yoze glanced at the screen in front of him before picking one of his talents.
[Name: Sleug Slug]
[Age: 120 Years Old]
[Talents: Banana Slug (Grade 10), Slug Spiritual Body Cultivation (Grade 10), Multitasking (Grade 3), Flexible (Grade 9)]
Of the four talents that Slug demon possessed, he was only interested in two of them: the Banana Slug talent and the Slug Spiritual Body Cultivation talent. With the Banana Slug talent, he could further improve his Mindless legs.
As for the Slug Spiritual Body Cultivation, it would increase strength immensely and further his progress in creating the network for his own human spiritual body cultivation. Unfortunately, even though he could grab both of the talents now, he could only reluctantly temporarily put aside the Slug Spiritual Body Cultivation talent.
At the moment, he couldn't risk having an intense backlash from taking this talent while in the middle of a battle with potentially the most powerful opponent he had ever faced. So he only took the Banana Slug talent and felt a chill course through his body as he felt his body become looser. He even had an illusion that his skin had become a bit more slimy.
"Hmph, your reaction speed is amazing. But I hope you are not on the brink of collapse when I have only used less than a third of my spiritual energy." Eternal Justice shook his head in disappointment as it had thought that Yoze would put up more of a fight.
Even though that punch from him would have created a hole through his body, he didn't fear one of those attacks ever landing on his body. If he could influence Yoze's mind with only a third of his power, then once he used everything he had, he should be able to burn a hole right through his spiritual energy defenses.
"If you were a bit kinder to me and showed some respect to your elders, I might have spared your life. But from your blatant disrespect and for all the destruction you have caused to my land, I have to kill you and devour your spiritual energy as payback." The Eternal Justice demon said sternly as it conveniently ignored the fact that it had caused all the destruction itself.
"If you are so confident in your spiritual energy, then why don't you just invade my body then? We can have a contest of true strength that way." Yoze retorted back.
"..."
The Eternal Demon was a bit shocked that Yoze would dare to utter such a suggestion when it was obvious what would happen. The only result would be that all of Yoze's spiritual energy would be consumed, and it would ruin any chance of him ever reviving in the future.
