However, this didn’t stop Jason from seeing hundreds and thousands of hearts piled up here.
They had already cracked open.
Blood flowed out, gathering together, and tracing a slanted path toward the outside.
The dripping blood that Jason had seen earlier came from this source.
A group of pitch-black humanoid monsters were increasing the flow of blood, rushing from outside, holding hearts in their hands, and then, standing in the center of this room, began to ’pat’ the hearts in their hands.
The slap, slap noise came from this action.
As they patted, the hearts began to beat.
From slow to violent.
Until—
Pop!The heart burst open!
A shadowy figure crawled out from the split-open heart, shaking its body with force before growing into one of the pitch-black humanoid monsters Jason knew.
Then, these newly emerged monsters joined the ranks of the previous ones.
They flocked outward, and another group of monsters carrying hearts returned here to begin a new ’incubation.’
Jason didn’t understand the principle behind this ’incubation’ process.
But that didn’t stop him from raising his hand and unleashing a [Chen Xi Sword].
He and they were natural enemies.
The more there were of them, the more troublesome it was for him.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble in the remaining two days, Jason thought it necessary to eradicate this ’nest.’
After all, nobody could guarantee that once these monsters reached a certain number, they wouldn’t thoroughly search the ’Fragment’ world where he was.
It was better to strike proactively than wait to be attacked.
After charging in place for 3 seconds, a 25-meter-long Light Sword swept across the room in front of him.
A slash above the chariot level destroyed everything in front as if it was crumbling dry weeds.
The hearts and the pitch-black humanoid monsters were instantly swept away.
The pervasive darkness began to tumble.
It seemed to be brewing something.
But before it could manifest, Jason raised his hand and cast a [Protection Against Evil].
Yi!
A special force field slammed down on the darkness, causing it to shudder, but it still didn’t dissipate.
Without hesitation, Jason cast [Protection Against Evil] again.
A [Chen Xi Sword] and a truly executed [Protection Against Evil] caused Jason to suffer fatal injuries, but the resurrected Jason once again cast [Protection Against Evil]. ⱤАɴÖᛒĚ𐌔
Ten times in a row!
The trembling darkness in front of him dissipated.
Like smoke, it faded away.
And just as the darkness vanished, Jason could keenly feel a wave of malicious gaze descending from the sky.
Before this malice arrived, Jason’s extraordinary senses detected its terror.
His whole body shivered, as if his soul was trembling.
It was as if he were back at ’Lorde,’ at the moment before Pea Street.
The feeling was strikingly similar!
But even more dangerous.
Because this malicious gaze was directed at him.
Almost instinctively, Jason concealed his form and stood within the shadows to one side.
An unmatched level of ’Stealth, Concealment’ immediately merged Jason with the surrounding shadows.
However, the malicious gaze, not finding its target, did not give up right away but continued to scout persistently.
Two minutes later, the malicious gaze finally receded slowly.
Jason remained motionless, hidden in the shadows.
About fifteen minutes later, the malicious gaze descended once again.
After scanning the area and finding nothing, it began to widen its search radius.
First the three-story office building, then the steel bridge, followed by the wasteland below, and then even further away.
Eventually?
The entire ’Fragment’ world.
After circling around this ’Fragment’ world three times, the malicious gaze paused temporarily.
However, it had not departed.
Clearly, this being was determined to achieve its goal.
It began to manifest its power.
The ’Fragment’ world became even more fragmented.
The bridge supporting the three-story office building collapsed first, smashing the building into rubble, and Jason, hidden within, suffered a fatal crushing blow.
Pain spread all over, but Jason didn’t make a sound.
He knew very well that if he made any noise, it would be his true death.
And just as Jason resurrected, the three-story office building, already smashed into ruin, was struck again.
A meteorite with a diameter of over a hundred meters fell from the sky, crashing down.
Boom!
Jason was once again shattered to pieces.
Next?
Flames began to burn continuously.
Crushed under a pile of concrete slabs and steel bars, Jason felt the scorching of the flames.
He felt like a piece of pork belly being seared on charcoal fire, unable to turn over.
Even with the defense provided by the [War Pattern. Plus. Griffin. Shadow Body Forging Technique], Jason still died 10 times in the flames.
After that, the malicious gaze moved away.
The other side swept over the entire ’Fragment’ world once again.
Meteorites fell one by one.
The flames burned ceaselessly.
Only after the ’Fragment’ world in front of him was ’destroyed’ three times like plowing the ground did the malicious gaze finally disappear completely.
In the following three attacks, Jason died 30 more times.
He lay there motionless, enduring such deaths.
Until the time of departure elapsed, minute by minute, second by second.
Three!
Two!
One!
When the last second had passed, Jason, who was pressed in the rubble, immobile, simply vanished.
But with this disappearance, it seemed the malicious gaze was disturbed.
The malicious gaze descended upon this place once again.
It surveyed the area.
It locked onto the last place where Jason had disappeared.
But before It had a chance to search thoroughly,
In the distance, where Jason had entered through the ’door’, a crack appeared in the void.
The crack spread like a spider web.
Crack, crack.
As time passed, within a matter of seconds, it expanded into a vast area.
And then—
Pop!
The void completely shattered.
A tall and sturdy figure stepped out.
"Jason, where are you?" the figure shouted after stepping into the breach.
Yes, it was Aras.
But unlike the memory, the current Aras was clearly taller and more muscular, and furthermore, her attire had changed from jeans and jackets to Daoist robes for cultivation; her thick, disheveled, auburn hair, which had been loose before, was now tied into a high ponytail on the top of her head; and a string of ’anomalies’, which ’the shelter’ had collected to aid in cultivation, had been made into a large rosary that hung around her neck.
Two rope-like bracers, aiding in cultivation, were worn on her left and right hands.
This too were ’anomalies’ that aided in cultivation.
Her roar echoed in this shattered space.
The malicious gaze instantly locked onto Aras.
It stared at her.
"Was it you who destroyed my ’altar’?" It asked.
"Have you seen Jason?" Aras responded, ignoring the question.
Such a response prompted the already angry malicious gaze to hesitate not a bit before striking ’the hand’.
A meteorite with a diameter of hundreds of meters came smashing down right at Aras.
Aras frowned.
She had come to find Jason, not to fight.
But if someone hit her, she definitely wouldn’t take it lying down without fighting back.
The next moment, Aras turned and twisted her waist, leaped high into the air, and with a fierce punch aimed at the meteorite above her head, she struck.
Boom!
Her fist collided with the meteorite.
The meteorite shattered instantly.
And Aras’s body kept soaring up toward the sky, until... she hit where the malicious gaze was located.
Boom!
Crack!
Another rending of the void.
The malicious gaze widened its eyes as the woman drew near.
Before It could speak, the persistent force of the punch landed on Its body.
Pain!
Agony!
It wanted to scream, but in the next moment, It realized in horror that Its own body was beginning to disintegrate.
"No!" With an incredulous shout, It swiftly abandoned its body and fled into the far reaches of the void.
It did not know why It had encountered such a terrifying woman, unlike any other human, but It knew that if It did not flee fast enough, It would truly die.
Aras, gazing at the evildoer who had struck first, had no intention of letting the culprit escape.
For she could feel the murderous intent the other had just released against her.
Such a person was an enemy.
Jason had said, when facing an enemy, show no mercy.
Aras brought her hands to her waist, where a golden aura began to condense in her palms.
Then, as she pushed her palms forward, the ball of golden aura spun out like a shooting star and crashed violently into the fleeing figure.
Boom!
The massive explosion lit up the dark void with golden brilliance.
It was like a miniature sun.
Suspended in the void.
