Chapter 330 - 329: The Beast God’s Advent! Another System Prompt
The next day, at the crack of dawn.
On the shore of Li Shui Lake.
Green willows lined both banks.
A patrol team from the Star Martial Police Bureau marched along the lakeside, their steps firm and forceful. They meticulously inspected their surroundings, leaving no stone unturned.
High walls formed a perimeter, enclosing the entire lake shore.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the lake...
Qin Yang was studying the Array Patterns of the Blood Spirit Array.
He reached out a hand toward the Array. With a mere thought, wisps of blood-red threads seeped out, drifting along the Array’s patterns.
But it didn’t last long.
The blood-red threads snaked forward, carried by the current. Just as they were about to permeate the Array Patterns, they seemed to hit some kind of resistance and promptly vanished.
They couldn’t integrate into the Array’s interior at all.
’Hmm, still not enough.’
Withdrawing the threads, Qin Yang reviewed what he had learned over the past few days, then entered the Enlightenment Space to check his progress.
He hadn’t been idle these last few days.
He observed the Blood Spirit Array whenever he had a spare moment.
He had to admit, the Blood Spirit Array, coming from a black hole, truly lived up to its reputation. It was exceptionally profound and abstruse, its inner workings far surpassing anything from the Lower Realm!
His insights from the past few days had been incredibly fruitful.
With the help of the Enlightenment Space and the Heart of Law, his Law Insights into the Blood Dao Laws had grown rapidly, becoming increasingly profound!
Even now, at the bottom of Li Shui Lake, Qin Yang could use the Blood Dao Laws to accurately sense the number of guards stationed above and could even stir their blood!
The Blood Dao Power was truly terrifying!
’Soon.’
Qin Yang lowered his head in thought, gazing at the Blood Dao Laws at his fingertips. After a moment of contemplation, he vaguely seemed to have found a completely new direction.
The Blood Spirit Array was fundamentally based on the Blood Dao Laws.
’So if I can achieve Great Success in the Law, wouldn’t I be able to comprehend the Array’s mysteries?’
’Then, with just my bare hands, I could manipulate the Array lines of this altar and truly modify the Blood Spirit Array!’
’Controlling the Blood Spirit Array...’
’...that would mean grasping the lifeblood of every Star Martial Artist in the world. I’d be truly invincible!’
"Not bad, not bad at all."
"Something to look forward to..."
At this thought, Qin Yang felt a sense of ease. He glanced up at the surface of Li Shui Lake, his pupils reflecting the shimmering sunlight, then rose and began to float upward.
After all, haste makes waste.
Comprehending the Blood Spirit Array was only a matter of time.
’That’s enough for today.’
...
...
「A short while later.」
By the lakeshore.
Two embers glowed in the dark.
A team of police officers from the patrol, guns in hand, were expertly crouched by the shore, smoking cigarettes and slacking off.
"Do you feel that? I keep getting the feeling someone’s watching us."
"Get real, no way! Who’d have nothing better to do than watch us slack off!"
"That’s true..."
"We’re lucky to be on Captain Xia’s team. He lets us slack off. I hear the other teams are super strict!"
As they spoke, ripples spread across the surface of Li Shui Lake.
Qin Yang, concealing his life force, surfaced without a sound. He drifted past them, quietly watching them slack off.
He suddenly felt a wave of nostalgia for his time with Xia He in the library, when things had been just as leisurely and carefree. Time had flown by so quickly, like youth slipping away.
Just then.
DING!
A message arrived on his phone.
Qin Yang took it out and saw it was a message from Elder Li. It was short and to the point.
"Young Friend Qin, come to the academy at once."
’Tsk, has something else happened?’
Qin Yang frowned slightly. Without another thought, he put his phone away, activated his Space Law, and headed for the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.
...
...
「At the same time.」
Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.
Tengfei Building, conference room.
The room was dim. A projector cast a topographical map of the Da Li Mountain Range onto a screen. The Chief Commander and the others were all gathered around the conference table.
A group of Innate Grandmaster experts was assembled here.
Every one of them wore a grim expression.
"Elder Li, did you send the message?"
The Chief Commander paced anxiously before the conference table, glancing out the window at the sky from time to time. "Why isn’t Qin Yang here yet?"
"Commander, don’t be anxious,"
Elder Li put down his phone and stroked his white beard. "Haste makes waste. Young Friend Qin most likely has important matters to attend to. He should be on his way."
"Sigh. Elder Li, it’s not that I can’t wait... It’s just that this matter is extremely urgent!"
The Chief Commander gripped the projector remote, sat down in his chair, and clenched the fabric of his pant leg. He let out a heavy sigh. "Every second we waste now means another degree of danger for the officers we sent into the mountain range!"
The moment he finished speaking.
BUZZ!
The space in the center of the conference room trembled.
Qin Yang used his Space Law, his figure appearing beside the conference table. He had stepped right through space to arrive next to him.
"Young Friend Qin is here!"
Elder Li looked relieved and quickly rose to greet him. He turned to the Commander and said, "See? What did I tell you? Young Friend Qin has arrived!"
"Everyone, what’s the situation?"
Qin Yang scanned the room, noticing everyone was present. He frowned slightly and got straight to the point, "Did the Beast God make a move?"
As soon as he spoke.
"That’s the current theory."
The Commander pulled out the chair at the head of the table and gestured for Qin Yang. "Have a seat first. It’s a long story. Let me show you this video."
He turned on the projector and played a video file.
The next moment.
The video projected, and the progress bar began to move.
The camera began to pan up, showing a bird’s-eye view of the entire Da Li Mountain Range. The foothills were majestic and the terrain treacherous, but a layer of black fog was rolling in like a tide, submerging vast swaths of pine forest.
The scattered carcasses of Star Beasts were piled up, resembling a boneyard.
"What is this?"
Sitting at the head of the table, Qin Yang watched the video with a tight frown, immediately realizing how bizarre the black fog was.
In just a few seconds.
Anything the black fog touched was completely corroded.
Flowers, grass, rocks, wood, flesh, and bone—it seemed to devour everything in the world, as if it contained the Power of Laws.
"This is the latest footage we’ve received."
The Chief Commander continued playing the video, his voice low. "At midnight last night, our lookout post in the Da Li Mountain Range sent word that a strange black fog had appeared.
As soon as the situation arose, we immediately dispatched a mission.
Two teams went in to scout the vicinity...
But a few hours ago, we lost contact with them at Police Headquarters. We haven’t received any further transmissions."
"This black fog is no simple matter."
Qin Yang sighed upon hearing this.
"You were too reckless in dispatching that mission."
Just based on the dense fog in the video, it was obvious it contained the Power of Laws. Recklessly sending Postnatal Martial Artists over, even just to observe from the periphery, was extremely dangerous.
Qin Yang watched the video, mentally calculating the survival odds for the two teams. They were practically zero. They should already be considered killed in action.
But just then!
"DING!"
A familiar system notification sound echoed in his mind.
"Presence of an Emperor Venerable Realm expert detected!"
"Host is advised to flee immediately!"
Qin Yang: ?!!!
