Their speed got increasingly fast, gradually exceeding the limits of the retina’s ability to capture the violent bombardment. It also set off a storm in their minds, causing overlapping illusions to appear before their eyes.
As they fell into a trance, it was as if they were competing with each other not just here and now.
Instead, they had traveled back thousands or even tens of thousands of years to face legendary heroes who had been recorded in Picturesque Orchid Lake’s war epic many times, ferocious beasts that were as huge as mountains, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and the collapse of the sky and the
Earth, in order to fight thunderbolts.
They were not just “Meng Chao” and “the Wolf King.”
Instead, they had become Fist, Stomach-less King, and Broken Wings. They had even become ferocious-looking ferocious beasts that ran amok, using the most primitive and brutal way to vent their desire to conquer everything, the desire to destroy and devour everything together.
Their totem armors were torn apart by their opponents repeatedly.
After every tearing, their totem armors would emit a creaking sound. It was unknown whether it was pain or excitement, but the metal hissed. Then, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming sturdier, stronger, and more ferocious than it was a moment ago.
It was as if their roots had been broken during the crazy training, but after the healing, their muscle fibers became thicker and stronger.
With the totem armors’ strong stimulation of their bodies, magma-like adrenaline and Enkephalin were released like a flood that broke the dam, attacking both their central nervous systems and cerebral cortexes. From this point of view, such an intense battle was exactly what the totem armors needed.
The totem armors were like fierce hungry beasts that had their own will.
Fresh blood, battle, conquest, and destruction were its nourishment.
‘The marvelous exchange of attack and defense between Meng Chao and the Wolf King could only temporarily, barely, and slightly fill its insatiable appetite, feeding it to grow bigger and stronger, as well as grow a bigger appetite.
Finally, just the exchange of punches and kicks was no longer enough to satisfy the upgraded totem armors.
Swoosh!
The dozens of the Wolf King’s afterimages suddenly condensed into a ball in mid-air. Then, he opened his arms with his muscles bulging, and a large number of veins and nerves popped up from the surface of his arm armor.
These “veins” and “nerves” intersected, intertwined, and fused with each other, extending all the way to the end of his arm, turning into six claws that broke out of his body.
These six claws were longer, wider, and sharper than before. They were like six hundred refining sabers that could cut hair with a single blow. They protruded out of the Wolf King’s bones.
It was hard to tell whether they were metal, crystals, or the dark red surface of the bones. There were also a large number of “blood vessels” and “nerves” that were entangled. One could even see clusters of bulges that were unknown whether they were hearts, tumors, or eyeballs. The surface of the claws
pulsated, releasing an increasingly intense red glow. It made the Wolf King feel as if he was immersed in a bloody mist that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It appeared both ferocious and mysterious.
As for Meng Chao’s totem armor, after sensing that the other party had “grown” a weapon, it automatically mobilized the liquid-like metal substances that covered his body without him, the master, giving the order. It surged crazily toward his arms, causing his arm armor to instantly expand. Rings of
chains grew out of the arm armor and wrapped around his arms. At the end of the chains, there were two Skull Crushers that were more powerful, domineering, brutal, and ferocious than before. Their blades were filled with sawteeth, and the back of the blades had sharp spikes!
Meng Chao held the upgraded Skull Crushers tightly. He felt that the two chain blades seemed to have grown out directly from the depths of his skin, flesh, bones, and even his cells. Between the hilt and his hand, it was as if countless nerve bundles as thin as hair had grown out, and they were
transmitting an astronomical amount of information to each other.
It was the literal meaning of “man and knife becoming one.”
Meng Chao could even feel the tip of the knife vibrating at a high frequency, stirring the surrounding air and creating small turbulence.
With just a thought, he could make use of the high-speed friction of the turbulence to make the Skull Crushers, which seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, accelerate to the maximum speed within the range of one finger.
However, this feeling was not as simple as doing whatever he wanted.
If one had to describe it, it was a little like the relationship between a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old teenager and his limbs, which could soar into the sky at any time and become uncontrollable.
The good thing was that with just a little stimulation, or even no stimulation, Meng Chao’s chain blades could be ten times faster than before. They could enter a combat state where they were as hard as iron, bombarding and sweeping away thousands of soldiers.
‘The bad thing was that Meng Chao vaguely felt that he could not control his brand new armor and the brand new chain blades.
Just like a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old teenager, not only was he unable to reach the realm of “being able to come and go or control them as he pleased.”
On the contrary, his immature mind was likely affected or even controlled by the overly powerful limbs!
The dazzling blood light that blossomed from the Wolf King’s claws, as well as the overwhelming and exciting feeling of losing control of his totem armor, finally sobered Meng Chao up.
He gritted his teeth as if he was forcefully dragging a speeding train. He controlled the urge to swing his chain blades and continue to fight the Wolf King for three hundred rounds.
He narrowly avoided the Wolf King’s claws that tore through the air, setting off six scarlet waves. Meng Chao took the opportunity to pull away from the Wolf King and growled, “Stop, enough!”
“why?”
‘The Wolf King’s unrestrained attack was suddenly interrupted by Meng Chao. He was dissatisfied, and he could not seem to vent the killing intent all over his body. He waved his claw violently, producing ear-piercing sonic booms.
On the surface of his armor, the “blood vessels’ and “nerves” that were filled with violent spirit energy were twisted crazily like earthworms that had been stimulated. They overlapped with the mysterious and complicated totems, looking like hideous ghost faces. However, they also looked like thousands
of hungry wolves that were about to break out of their bodies and condense into a giant wolf head that would open its bloody mouth and swallow Meng Chao whole.
Even Meng Chao’s own totem armor was hissing in hunger and dissatisfaction. The “blood vessels” and “nerves” bulging on the surface of the armor were shivering nonstop. The chain blades, which were made of liquid-like metal substances, made “huala, huala” sounds, attempting to defy or even
manipulate the will of their owner.
Meng Chao looked at the thing that covered his body in disbelief. It was as if it had a life of its own.
The totem armor in the past would stimulate his hormone secretion, interfere with his brain waves, and present all kinds of thrilling, stimulating sound, light, and electrical effects before his eyes. It would try to make him addicted to the endless slaughter.
But it had never been so obvious and strong in showing its resistance and independent will.
It was as if it was not a suit of armor at all, but some kind of… parasite.
“Look, even your own totem armor is protesting!”
‘The Wolf King sneered and narrowed his eyes again, recalling the pleasure that could not be described with words a moment ago. “What great power, what magical armor. You should have also felt the stimulation of billions of bolts of lightning penetrating every vein and nerve in your body!
“Inever knew that battles could be so exhilarating.
“No wonder those battle-level powerhouses were able to immerse themselves in fierce battles day and night and lose interest in anything other than battles…
“Until they single-handedly turned the Land of Holy Light upside down. They would rather be reduced to ashes under the bombardment of magic flames and dwarven cannons at all costs!
“What are you still hesitating for? Let’s continue and see where our limits are!”
The blood wings on the Wolf King’s back flapped, and he was about to launch a second round of attack.
Meng Chao growled and punched his chest heavily. He suppressed his restless totem armor slightly and once again pulled away from the Wolf King.
“Wait!”
He clenched his teeth and said with difficulty, “Of course, the new totem armor is immensely powerful, but don’t you think that it’s too powerful and difficult to control? It’s about to take over the host’s position?”
“So what?”
‘The Wolf King did not think much of it, “The more powerful the weapon, armor, secret medicine, and power, the harder it is to control. Don’t tell me that you think that a bloodthirsty saber that has slaughtered thousands of enemies is as easy to control as a toy saber or spear wielded by a three-year-old
child?
“Since it’s difficult to control, then we might as well not control it. We should listen to the voice of the ancestral spirit transmitted to us through the totem armor. We should completely unleash our most violent killing intent and most ferocious power.
“Believe me, only by doing so can we defeat our most powerful enemy and unleash the destruction of the enemy above our heads in a way that is a hundred times more violent. Hahahahahaha!”
Before the Wolf King’s eyes, an incomparably gorgeous, magnificent, and splendid panorama of destruction appeared.
Of course, the ones who were destroyed were the Holy Light Temple and the so-called “high-level races condensed from Holy Light.”
The scene of destruction seemed to have an incredible magic power. It completely absorbed the Wolf King’s soul, causing his temperament to become completely different from a moment ago. From a small Wolf King, he became… the incarnation of the apocalypse.
Meng Chao’s hair stood on end.
Now he could be sure that the Wolf King’s process of breaking through the life barrier was the same as his. It had also been affected by some mysterious power. Perhaps it was the Demon King of Terror’s temptation that the Nine-ring Magician had mentioned.
He had resisted the temptation.
However, the Wolf King had not, at least not completely.
He was no longer the “Jackal” Kanus of the past.
In the depths of his soul, there was something he could not explain or understand.
“Calm down, Wolf King, We should all calm down and think about who we are and what our mission is!”
Meng Chao took a deep breath and grabbed the crazily dancing “blood vessels” and “nerves” on his breastplate. He clenched them hard and used the piercing pain to make his totem armor behave for the time being.
The desire to kill that was flooding his brain like magma finally dissipated for now.
Every brain cell of his was just as calm. It was as if they were soaking in an arctic ice cave.
“There’s no denying that it’s good to successfully pass the trial and obtain unparalleled power.”
After careful consideration, Meng Chao said, “But don’t you think that instead of being eager to fight, destroy, and kill, you’ll end up as a slave to power? It’s better to calm down first and have a good talk. We’ll talk about everything we’ve seen and heard earlier. We’ll try to analyze and control this power
and eventually become its master.. Isn’t that more important?”
