Chapter 1660: Chapter 699 Massive Appearance of Destruction-level Monsters_2

“I’ll study it a bit more.”

Wang Tao didn’t directly agree, but neither did he refuse.

The main thing is, he needed to verify some of the things the Bishop mentioned first.

“Alright, but you need to hurry. If these monsters become more numerous and stronger, we’ll really have no chance!”

The Bishop was anxious, but he knew that being anxious was useless. He had no ability to search, so he had to rely on Wang Tao.

Wang Tao gave the Bishop a deep look, then directly rose into the air.

Watching Wang Tao disappear from his vision like that, the Bishop felt incredibly envious.

“Being able to soar freely in the blue sky is truly wonderful! But then again, what exactly is the Seventh Level like? Just one look from him and I couldn’t move at all, I don’t even know what ability he used…”

The Bishop had a headache.

In his “future memory,” there was no information about the Seventh Level, six was the cap.

Although he felt that he was just one condition away from ascending to the Seventh Level, he believed that killing more Level 6 creatures should suffice. But he was completely clueless about the specifics of the ascension process.

Maybe once he fulfills that last condition, he’ll understand. However, he faintly felt that even if he completed the last condition, it wouldn’t be easy to ascend, there might even be a risk of losing his life!

He actually wanted to ask Wang Tao about what the Seventh Level entails, but given their somewhat tense relationship, he didn’t dare to ask. Maybe next time, the next time he meets Wang Tao, he’ll pluck up the courage to ask, as it concerns his own survival…

On the other side.

High in the sky, Wang Tao observed the situation below while pondering over today’s events. For him, multitasking was naturally not a problem.

The Bishop undoubtedly hid something, but the things he revealed should be true, at least the Bishop seemed to believe in them.

Actually, when it comes to saying things like he could save all of humanity, Wang Tao didn’t say he completely disbelieved, at most, he believed half of it. Besides, such things seem somewhat distant; what Wang Tao is concerned about is the current situation–

There had already been many Seventh-Rank Destruction Magma Monsters appearing previously, and now there are also Seventh-Rank Destruction Whale Monsters, one with a fire attribute and the other with a water attribute. Their Destruction Domain range is vast and their destructive power is truly astonishing.

Facing such monsters, the Changhe Base clearly couldn’t hold out. Although the Changhe Base is located in a remote area, as long as such Destruction-Level monsters continue to increase, they will eventually come across the Changhe Base.

So Wang Tao had to prepare in advance; if a Destruction-Level monster really finds the Changhe Base, how they would avoid and escape would be a crucial issue.

If they could draw these monsters away, it would be great. Although this is a temporary solution, delaying things would be beneficial. For instance, if they could delay until Wang Tao reaches Level 8, the situation might be different.

But the Bishop also mentioned that zombies and monsters have a higher average strength than humans. In case Wang Tao ascends to Level 8 and these monsters also ascend to Level 8 or even Ninth Level, it would be even more troubling…

Just as Wang Tao was pondering, his face suddenly changed.

Just moments ago, the afterglow of the sunset was still shining on him, but now suddenly it became pitch black, and Wang Tao couldn’t see anything. Even with his Night Vision ability, he couldn’t see anything–he was blind!

However, his ability to see the blood bar didn’t fail, this ability couldn’t be blocked even by [Blindness]. After a quick search, Wang Tao finally found the source of the darkness.

“Another Destruction-Level!”

[HP: 10356372/11000000]

[Level: Seventh Level*Destruction]

[Law Power: Darkness (Basic): 100/100]

[Destruction Domain: Eternal Night]

[Eternal Night: Wherever it reaches, it turns into night. After it dies, the night range fixes and expands]

This was a Dark Attribute Seventh-Rank Destruction monster that Wang Tao had never seen before!

Its Destruction Domain is [Eternal Night], within its domain, creatures basically can’t see anything, only pure darkness.

Of course, if it only had the capability of blindness, it wouldn’t be called a Destruction Domain, so in addition to blindness, it had other negative statuses! Wang Tao immediately checked his attributes–

[Curse: Weakness]

[Curse: Blindness]

[Curse: Confusion]

[Curse: Poisoning]

[Curse: Slow]

[Curse: Soul Detachment]

[…]

Wang Tao’s attribute panel had a multitude of curse effects; he had never been affected by so many curses at once!

Among these curses, except for Weakness, which directly reduced his combat power, the other curses didn’t directly reduce it, but made Wang Tao very unwell.

Blindness was still manageable. Although Wang Tao couldn’t see anything, he could see the blood bar, and through it, he could determine where the monster was. However, some curses were very uncomfortable.

For instance, Confusion, a curse that makes it impossible to distinguish directions. Wang Tao couldn’t tell north from south, or whether he was in the sky or on the ground, he didn’t even know which direction he flew from. If this continued, combined with the Slow curse, he might be trapped in the [Eternal Night] forever!

Then there’s Soul Detachment, a curse specifically weakening his spiritual power. Initially, after losing sight, he could use his spiritual power to detect the surrounding environment. Spiritual power was even more useful than his eyesight, providing a God’s-eye view. Compared to sight, spiritual power didn’t see as far, but it had all the other advantages. However, with the Soul Detachment curse, Wang Tao’s spiritual power couldn’t extend beyond a meter from himself; it essentially rendered his spiritual detecting useless.

Most of the other curses were also control-oriented, unlike [Great Drought], which could instantly lead to death. [Eternal Night] seemed intent on trapping a person in darkness forever, either torturing them to death or driving them insane!

In a sense, this [Eternal Night] was even more terrifying.

Fortunately, Wang Tao also had the Seventh Tier Domain, and he instantly activated [Infinite Karma Fire].

BOOM–

Within the pitch darkness, a sea of fire suddenly appeared, and Wang Tao stood at its center, his eyes gradually seeing the flames.

With the protection of the domain, some curses were invalidated against Wang Tao, and many curses had their effects greatly reduced. However, outside the [Infinite Karma Fire] was still pure darkness, and Wang Tao couldn’t see the monster’s appearance.

Yet the weakening of the curses allowed Wang Tao to distinguish directions, and after some attempts, Wang Tao finally left the [Eternal Night].

The scene before him immediately returned to brightness. Wang Tao didn’t retract his domain, cautiously surveying the surroundings; no sign of darkness or domain presence was detected. But Wang Tao knew very well that the [Eternal Night] was just in front of him!

[Eternal Night] was different from other Destruction Domains; it was like a trap, waiting for prey to step in. The Destruction-Level monster wouldn’t pursue him, merely lurking silently there.

Wang Tao searched carefully but still couldn’t find the monster, only within [Eternal Night] could he see the monster’s blood bar, and outside it, the monster was invisible. It was as though the monster was in a different space.

Wang Tao didn’t insist on finding it. After silently memorizing this location, he circled around and distanced himself from it.

In just one day, Wang Tao discovered two new Seventh-Rank Destruction monsters, casting a shadow over his heart. What the Bishop said was true; these Destruction-Level monsters would become more abundant!

Wang Tao increased his flying speed.

As he was nearing the Changhe Base, his Perception Ring suddenly received a message.

“Wang Tao, something’s wrong! A Destruction-Level monster seems to have appeared near the base; we’re about to freeze to death…”
