As the energy flow of the two strong men gradually weakened on the earth, the raging storm slowly subsided, and freezing rain and ice and snow fell quietly on the Moldova Territory late at night.
On the banks of the Magherent River, in the center of the huge disc-shaped depression, Joshua suppressed Herras. He held his arm bone in his hand and inserted it into the center of the cult priest's chest. The warrior's expression was calm and indifferent, and There was no excitement at all after defeating a powerful enemy, but instead there was a trace of regret.
At this time, the vitality around the two people has completely converged back into the body, and no longer radiates terrifying energy to the outside world. The result is that the cold river water begins to pour into the depression, covering the two people's positions with ice water, but regardless of He Neither Erras nor Joshua cared about this. They just stood in a stalemate in the gradually deepening river, waiting for the last moment to come.
Herras was certainly not dead.
The vitality of the high priest of the cult is so strong that it even surpasses some legendary strong men. Even after experiencing the impact of the power of order, the erosion of Joshua's vitality, and the suppression of a warrior's divinity, his vitality did not stop resisting. Now, with Herras' body as the battlefield, two completely different but equally aggressive and corrosive life forces are at war. They have turned into tens of millions of tiny teams, fighting in blood vessels, muscles and nerves. The surrounding areas are fighting each other.
But Herras was at an absolute disadvantage.
Because he was too greedy, he took the initiative to absorb the power of order and the carefully prepared life energy in Joshua's body, causing great disadvantages between his first move and his second move. If the opponent is an ordinary warrior, this disadvantage is not irreparable, but his opponent is Joshua, and the life energy level of the two is at the same level. Since Joshua could not resist Herras' plunder before, Yes, then there is nothing he can do to reverse the disadvantage now.
This is no longer a question of whether the vitality is strong or not. The warrior's vitality is like an extremely active cancer cell, eroding crazily and assimilating the vitality of Herras. In just a few minutes, the face of the cult high priest changed into a gentle one. Joshua is as old and even weaker. This is not an incarnation that can be given up casually. It is the body of Herras in the plague world. If this body is eliminated, it means that the existence of 'Herras' Total death.
"You want to be a will to the world."
At the bottom of the cold river water, Joshua suddenly spoke, and layers of sound waves penetrated the river water and reached Herras' ears: "The human form walking on the Mycroft continent is just your mouthparts that swallow up life force, and the plague world is you body, and your body is their brain."
"This is the path for you to advance to legend. Incarnate in a small world, stay on the outside of the world, absorb the life and quality from it bit by bit, and finally become a real [Void Behemoth]. I will transfer your body from Shooting out of your subspace is the only way to kill you."
The soldier's words were so decisive, as if he had seen through all the secrets of Herras. After hearing this, the high priest of the cult was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.
Herras's wrinkled face is like porcelain full of cracks, with some fragments falling off from time to time. They are the debris derived from the countless battles between the two forces. It is full of ownerless vitality, which floats Between the cold river water, a pale light is released, causing countless algae and microorganisms in the river to compete. In just a few seconds, large areas of dark green algae appear out of thin air. They are extremely strong, even at temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero. The low temperatures cannot kill them.
"You're right. Incarnate as a giant beast that roams the worlds. This is my path."
The high priest of the cult did not stop resisting. His life force was still fighting fiercely with the soldiers. Red sparks splashed out from the cracks in his body from time to time. That was Joshua's expelled life force, but even if That's right, but his tone was very relaxed: "Mycroft Continent is dead, I can see its destruction... The future of the Order cannot be entrusted to this doomed world, I have to consider their future. "
At this time, Herras did seem to have the aura to lead a huge cult group. He stared at Joshua's red eyes, which seemed to have flames burning in them, and asked in a curious tone: "What about you? Mighty warrior, what is your path? Did your battle with me help you find the direction towards legend?"
Because of Herras' words, Joshua was silent for a while.
Legend of Destiny.
The top of Mycroft's world, the god walking on earth.
Creatures that have reached this stage can be called gods in ancient times. They can call the wind and rain at will, move mountains and reclaim seas, and their battles can easily change the terrain of a country. The battles of multiple legendary strong men, It can even shake the foundations of continents, cause the sea to rage, and overturn all living things.
Is it easier said than done to become a legend? The black iron level can sense and control energy, the silver level can strengthen the soul and refine energy, and the gold level can understand the power of oneself. Taking the first step to transcendence and breaking through all limits are all just to lay the foundation for advancing to legend. As long as the foundation is slightly unstable, it will always stop at its best.
"Legend is to completely change the form of life and become a further existence."
After a long time, the warrior spoke slowly, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was thinking seriously: "I have met several legendary strong men, and their paths are all amazing, whether they are incarnation of the Holy Light, making their will come true, or self-improvement. This is true for nature, or for monsters like you who want to become a self-contained world. You want to transcend the constraints of the world on 'life' and become an immortal 'existence'."
From life to existence, this is the dividing line between ultimate intention and legend. No matter how powerful the ultimate intention is, it is still life, and legends are no longer simple lives. They can even be said to be a certain phenomenon, a certain A master of power.
"Herras, your advancement direction actually has a lot of overlap with mine. Fighting with you has taught me a lot. The success of condensing the power of steel is a big step closer."
Joshua held the palm of his arm bone and tightened it again. Black and red lines appeared. In the flash of light, a trace of divine power was aroused to suppress Herras who set off another wave of resistance. The face of the warrior Covered in the red light, his expression could not be seen clearly: "You are indeed a good opponent."
But when he said this, he shook his head, his tone full of regret.
"But your path is not my path. The direction for me to become a legend is not in you."
At this time, the vitality of the two has been pushed to the limit. Herras's vitality has turned into a ball of pale light in the body, while Joshua's vitality has condensed into a ball of black fire. Now the fire surrounds the ball of light. Like a pack of greedy wolves, biting off pieces bit by bit, the loss of each piece made the flames more intense and the ball of light dimmer.
Of course, Herras can transform into countless fragments of spore mist to escape Joshua's suppression, but facing an equally powerful life force controller, such a move can only be said to be suicide. Only by condensing himself into the core can he reluctantly Resist the other party's devouring.
The reverse flow of vitality caused the wrinkles on the warrior's face to gradually disappear and return to its original state, leaving only the gray hair that had not recovered. Joshua sensed that the high priest of the cult under him was getting weaker and weaker, but his vitality was also getting weaker and weaker. The solidified, black flames could no longer tear off the fragments from the light ball, and could only burn on its outer shell in vain.
And Herras didn't have the strength to continue speaking - his soul was nestled in the center of the core of vitality, surrounded by black flames. The power of the warrior's soul-depriving force always affected his spirit, making Herras dare not relax at all.
"It's over, Herras."
Having reached the last step, Joshua raised his head and looked at the surface of the cold river. He raised his left hand, and a gray light flew up out of thin air, penetrating the thick ice water and algae. The dragon-hunting sword and gun obeyed its master's call and came into the hands of the warrior.
"Die."
The next moment, Joshua held the sword and gun in his hand and pierced Herras's core of life neatly.
The high priest of the cult originally had no life core. His body was actually the plague world outside the world. There was no need for the body as the brain and the incarnation as the mouthparts to condense the core. As long as the soul is immortal, he will not die. Even if it is temporarily eliminated, it can be reborn through the plague world.
But now, in order to resist Joshua's ferocious, cancer-like erosion, Herras had to condense his own life core to compete with him. Crush to pieces.
The pale ball of light instantly disintegrated into countless fragments, and Herras' body was also shattered in an instant.
The high priest of the plague cult who had been in the Western Mountains for decades died silently on the banks of the Magherent River, but Herras did not stop resisting even before his death.
As he said, life is like this, fighting each other, devouring each other, like the plague, selfish enough to kill other lives in order to survive.
The huge vitality spreads in all directions. Looking down from a high altitude, it seems like a huge white ring is rapidly expanding. Where the ring arrives, the Moldovan territory that has become dead due to the battle between the two regains life. , the river water is clean, the air is fresh, and among the ashes of the woods destroyed by the aftermath, new buds are sprouting.
The wave of vitality that can only be described as terrifying has even caused various wonderful changes in other surviving creatures around it. In just a few seconds, the brown algae in the river water seemed to have spanned thousands of years of evolution and became... It is not afraid of frost and cold, and can even absorb the free energy between heaven and earth. Although more complex life forms such as insects, trees and beasts have not changed much under the radiation of life, the power accumulated in their bodies means that their descendants will definitely have far more power than their parents. Several new-born monsters The rudiments of a race were born.
Of course, most of the vitality was absorbed by the nearest Joshua. Even though most of Herras's vitality had been consumed during the fight with the warriors, the vitality gained by Joshua had already increased his own vitality reserves. It has more than doubled than before, and the too majestic life fluctuations can no longer be suppressed, spreading to the outside world in accordance with the heartbeat of the warriors.
So he closed his eyes and stayed at the bottom of the cold, unfrozen river, controlling these newly acquired vitality bit by bit with his own will.

[In this world, the most difficult things to eliminate are various types of microbial viruses.

[Your threat to any life is increased by 35%, and your damage to any life is increased by 10%.]
Threat refers to an existence similar to the alertness index. Professions such as shield fighting and anti-riding have taunting skills that increase the threat. They can greatly attract the attention of monsters. The threat to any life is increased by 35%, which means that if those monsters are not frightened and run away after approaching the holder, then their eyes will definitely focus on him subconsciously.
Generally speaking, monsters with huge bodies and terrifying shapes are very threatening, such as dragons and demons. Most people will focus on these powerful monsters. This is a good attribute, but for Qiao As far as Xiu Ya was concerned, it was of little use. The warrior's strength, aura and aura of despair were so high that the threat level had already exploded. Even if it were increased by 35%, it would be of little use.
In addition, other attributes have also undergone some changes.

But for some reason, the originally stable system began to tremble under Joshua's gaze. Fuzzy snowflakes, like a poor signal, covered the second half of the attribute list, causing a sudden refresh of the attribute list. The large string of text is obscured and cannot be read clearly.
Even with Joshua's powers of observation, he could barely distinguish a few scattered words in just a few seconds.

It wasn't until the long string of text ended that the tremors of the system stopped, and the previously refreshed text completely disappeared.
