Chapter 718: Chapter 550: Hungry Ghost City

Among the crowd, there were virtually none who, like him, Qin Jiagui, and Ma Ziye, had entered this world simultaneously and shared a companion relationship. Therefore, they were the only ones capable of executing the fifth category convergent ability.

Ada let out a long roar, transforming Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, and Ma Ziye into a sky-covering Black Flame which immediately incinerated and melted a considerable amount of Hungry Ghost Beasts.

Hundreds of Hungry Ghost Beasts were reduced to ashes, and numerous Bronze Crystal Cores were transformed into three torrents of teal energy, rushing into the bodies of Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, and Ma Ziye.

Su Yu let out a low growl, with the energy inside his body boiling over. The energy he absorbed merged with the energy surging from his body’s depths. A Bronze Giant Arm vibrated endlessly, giving the faint impression of another imminent breakthrough, but ultimately it subsided quietly.

Qin Jiagui, and Ma Ziye both shouted out, and everyone around them watched them with envious eyes.

With Su Yu leading them, they had just slain so many Hungry Ghost Beasts and absorbed such a vast amount of energy. Without any doubt, Qin Jiagui and Ma Ziye had broken into the realm of the second-level Bronze Warrior.

Qin Jiagui swung his right arm, which had entirely mutated into a bronze-colored metal arm. A giant turret emerged from his heaved right shoulder. On the outer side of his bronze metal arm, a bronze barrel similar to a pursuit cannon sprouted.

Qin Jiagui’s feet sank into the ground, he lifted his bronze metal arm, supporting it with his left hand. Suddenly, the bronze pursuit cannon on his metal arm made a "clang", and a teal cannonball flew out.

Instantly, at a distance of a kilometer, a deafening "boom" exploded, and amidst flickering flares, a half of a bald mountain immediately collapsed.

The power of this strike reached an astonishing scale, even without the inclusion of his internal evolved and seed’s power.

Ma Ziye stamped her right foot, and bronze-colored steel cables twined around her right leg. Strands of these bronze cables, flexible like serpents, continually spread around only to retract quickly.

Yano looked at the advancement of Qin Jiagui and Ma Ziye but could only shake his head slightly. Having a good companion like Su Yu, their speed of evolution indubitably aroused immense envy. Practically, without lifting a finger, they had already surpassed him and became second-level Bronze Warriors.

After this last execution of the "Black Flame Hell," Ada had reached today’s limit of casting "Black Flame Hell". Su Yu calculated the time, it should have been just a day since crossing the "Black Iron World." He was already a second-level Bronze Warrior. With this speed, he still had a chance in the upcoming five months.

Upon Su Yu’s appearance and his swift annihilation of these Hungry Ghost Beasts, someone among the remaining hundred individuals couldn’t help but shout, "Why is this so? Wasn’t it said that the world we just passed through was the passageway to the Upper Realm? This place should already be the Upper Realm, so why are there such terrifying creatures? Could it be that the Upper Realm is also filled with monsters and dangers like our ’Black Iron World’?"

Someone shouted in the group, and many showed an expression of terror on their faces. Ada, who was perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, pointed in a direction and said, "Su Yu, it’s that way. I can sense the exit out of this world."

Su Yu uttered a word of acknowledgement, and without saying more, he sprinted in the direction pointed by Ada. Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Yano, Yang Yue, Ling Sha, and the sibling pair also pelted after him. The panicked hundred individuals, seeing Su Yu running in that direction, followed suit.

Among these hundred people, not all were cowardly who feared death. Able to cultivate to the Black Iron Ninth Level Peak and then step out of this world, everyone had undergone substantial difficulties and stumbled upon opportunities. However, the process of escaping this world was so laborious that they didn’t want to die on the way before even reaching the Upper Realm. Dying in a world like this would indeed leave the ones who had left the Black Iron World with their eyes unclosed in death.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered towering two-meter Hungry Ghost Beasts with steely skeletons. Su Yu cut a swath through them, slaying each creature with a single punch and absorbing the energy from their Bronze Crystal Cores. Even if it was just the energy of a one-star Beast General, Su Yu did not waste it.

In everyone’s eyes, no one was more desperate to become stronger than Su Yu.

Following Ada’s guidance, Su Yu led his group on a full sprint. Along their way, they surprisingly ran into many teams who gathered to fight off the Hungry Ghost Beasts together. Among them were Bronze 1st Rank, and Bronze 2nd Rank, with virtually no Bronze Zero-order. It seemed like anyone who managed to enter this world and survive until now must have already surpassed the Bronze Zero-order, or else they would’ve already died halfway through.

When these assembled teams encountered Su Yu, they bore witness to his formidable strength as one Hungry Ghost Beast after another fell before him. Almost unanimously, the people formed ranks behind Su Yu. On one hand, they could scavenge any leftovers, and on the other, their journey became much easier with such a powerful individual blazing the trail ahead.

Su Yu didn’t concern himself with the number of people following him nor their motives. His sole focus was to kill the monsters and absorb their energy, hoping to once again evolve and grow stronger.

The Bronze Crystal Core of a One-star Beast General, while significant, was like a drop in the bucket compared to the vast amount of energy needed for Su Yu’s current state. No substantial impact was felt until in the great distance, a giant shadowy city emerged, where Su Yu, ahead of everyone else, finally encountered a Two-Star Beast General.

A so-called "Two-Star Beast General" is one whose body has condensed two Bronze Star-shaped Crystal Cores. Each Star-shaped Crystal Core is larger than that of a One-star Beast General. Back in the first level world’s Mechanical Castle, the Bioqueen spawned a gold bio-beast, a Two-Star beast general whose strength was much greater than a One-star Beast General’s.

The Two-Star Beast General that Su Yu and the others encountered was a pack of Hungry Ghosts, standing roughly two and a half meters tall. The creatures were a size larger than the average One-star Beast General. They wielded Ghost Head Forks and wore fragmented armor. Bearing the name "Ghost Fork Hungry Ghosts," their attack and defense capabilities far surpassed the ordinary Hungry Ghost Beasts. They were faithful guardians stationed outside the "Hungry Ghost City".

Just as Su Yu was darting towards the magnificent and massive "Hungry Ghost City," a horde of "Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost" rushed straight at him.

Su Yu activated the "Sacred Eye," sensing the two-star strength of the Ghost Fork Hungry Ghosts rushing towards him. The discovery roused his spirit; he kicked off the ground, transforming into a humanoid form of a Giant Black-scaled Lizard. However, the left arm of this burly creature was a menacing Bronze Giant Arm, teeming with destructive energy.

Right now, Su Yu’s primary need was a large amount of Bronze energy. So, when the group of Two-Star Beast General "Ghost Fork Hungry Ghosts" charged towards him, Su Yu’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. He made a stride, fully transitioning into the Giant Black-scaled Lizard, and swung his Bronze Giant Arm to meet an incoming Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost.

The Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost brandished its Ghost Head Fork, hissing. As it made contact with the Bronze Giant Arm swung by Su Yu, there was a "clang," which caused the Ghost Head Fork to bend inwards, leading to a solid hit on the chest of the Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost.

There was a crisp "crack" as the Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost spewed dark, filthy blood from its mouth. Its steel-hard skin and tough bones withstood no chance before Su Yu’s Bronze Giant Arm. In an instant, it took a hard tumble and crashed to the ground. It didn’t get up again as two Star-shaped Crystal Cores were sucked into Su Yu’s body.

Although Su Yu is only a Second-Level Bronze Warrior in terms of rank on par with these two-star beast generals; Ling Sha, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, and the others charged forward into the swirling melee with the two-star beast generals. Su Yu was different. His internal Adept Fluid gives him strength thousands of times greater than warriors of the same level. Before him, the two-star Beast General still proved no match, falling with ease.

Of course, the strength of a two-star Beast General far exceeds that of a one-star Beast General. Su Yu could affect them with the power of his will, but he couldn’t destroy them all at once as he did in the beginning.

Su Yu employed the "Eight-step Soar" technique, his Bronze Giant Arm continually striking out. The blow was fatal every time it landed on a Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost.

Even Yang Yue and the others, who were covertly watching, couldn’t help but shake their heads, a look of envy spreading across their faces. They knew the secret to Su Yu’s great strength lay in his liquefied alien force, which granted him power thousands of times greater than others of the same level. Even the two-star beast general-level Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost was no match for him. They conjectured that Su Yu’s strength was probably greater than the combined might of all the other hundreds of men present.

As Su Yu kept on killing the Ghost Fork Hungry Ghosts, he suddenly turned his face slightly to the side, surprised. On the other side, Yano let out a strange roar and then, like an explosion of terrifying power from within his body, he became several times stronger in an instant. A Ghost Fork Hungry Ghost was instantly slain under his Green Smoke Sword.

Su Yu didn’t need to use the "Sacred Eye" to know that Yano had just successfully evolved into a two-rank Bronze warrior. This Yano had many secrets hidden in his body like when he first encountered him during the trials. Ada once speculated that Yano should have had a Category 5 Lifeform, but he had never seen him display it. Regarding this matter, Su Yu was also quite curious - does Yano have a Category 5 Lifeform, or was he a Companion?

When Su Yu led the group to the "Hungry Ghost City" in front of him, the number of strong individuals gathering around him had reached nearly a thousand. Among them, many had white beards and looked old. It was unknown how long they had been alive. (To be continued...)
