My Life Anthem Covers the Globe-Chapter 314: Observing the Mutation, the Jade Hand in the Darkness
"It’s still too early to say anything about this," Pei Jing said, his gaze heavy as he looked into the distance.
"This beast tide was indeed diverted by us, but don’t forget, the real threat is the mutation that’s driving the beast tide!"
"The mutation can deter the beast tide."
"But it can also attract the beast tide."
"Now, we need to confirm if the direction of the mutation’s spread has changed because of this."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly understood.
Nie Bao and a few others were even itching to try, for their purpose in this expedition was precisely this disaster.
Now, with a chance to get in contact with the mutation, and with the presence of two great talents, Su Qi and Pei Jing, they had fewer worries.
After all.
From the earlier burst of power, they realized these two were not only exceptionally gifted but were actually catching up to their own strength.
Now, they already regarded them as equals.
"Alright, then we’ll go against the direction of the beast tide to trace back to the source and take a look at the mutation’s spread!" Nie Bao said spiritedly, without any objections.
Quickly.
The seven of them transformed into a flashing rainbow, speeding ahead, passing by the beast tide.
Along the way.
Nie Bao and the others couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Su Qi, and the shock in their eyes was barely concealed. With ease, he had dispelled a looming disaster, showcasing quick wit.
What truly amazed them was that this young man possessed the composure of Mount Tai collapsing without changing his expression; it was simply terrifying.
Usually, reaching this level meant either being experienced or having full confidence in resolving issues.
Clearly.
Su Qi was the latter.
This meant he didn’t take the beast tide seriously at all.
Bear in mind.
Though they managed to divert the beast tide, at a critical moment, any carelessness might result in very different consequences. No matter how intricate the plan, it could not withstand the ever-changing circumstances.
Unless...
This person had a backup plan for failure!
Or even had the confidence to reverse an out-of-control situation with absolute strength!
And that meant completely overwhelming the beast tide!
As Nie Bao contemplated, that overwhelming beast tide, with their current strength, could likely be withstood, but definitely not easily.
One mistake could even lead to injury.
Meaning he wasn’t entirely confident in leading everyone to completely overwhelm the beast tide.
If Su Qi could accomplish this, his strength wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
However, while he was lost in thought.
They traversed a land devastated by the beast tide.
Suddenly.
A warning surged in their hearts!
A chilling pressure crashed over them.
Immediately.
Everyone halted, using secret techniques to hide their aura, fearing certain presences within the mutation would notice.
After all.
With their qi and blood vitality, they were even more attractive to certain presences than the horde of fierce beasts, and their solitary exploration was due to the destruction of all monitoring stations along the way.
"What is that..."
Soon.
Nie Bao and the others saw, high above, the sky seemed splattered with ink from a careless divine spirit.
And under that shrouding shadow.
Countless bizarre scenes appeared tumultuously, rivers flowing upwards, giant peaks lying on the ground, and countless strangely shaped trees moving without wind, like lost souls beckoning.
Nie Bao stared intently at the mutated heavens and earth, feeling very conflicted.
Both excited and inexplicably fearful.
In fact, he had deeply researched the origins of this mutation back in the Ninth District.
Yet witnessing this in person still sent chills down his spine.
"What do you think?"
"Should we venture inside and take a look?"
At this moment, after a moment of internal struggle, Nie Bao looked at the others for guidance.
Su Qi glanced at him.
Immediately realizing Elder Jiang was right, these people shouldn’t be treated like ordinary Destruction-level Transcendents; calling them ’desperados’ seemed more fitting.
Even though they came under the guise of seeking opportunity, their true aim was the slim chance for advancement.
Of course.
Su Qi didn’t judge them with bias because of this.
After all, not everyone is a saint; even he harbored certain self-interest.
Having such desires is perfectly normal; ironically, those who appear dignified often hide more appalling filth.
"Hold your horses," Su Qi said at this moment.
"I understand your urgency. I personally experienced the Thirteenth District’s fall and the Fourteenth District’s fall, and if I’m not mistaken, I’ve encountered the manifestation of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao you’re seeking."
"It shouldn’t appear in such a place now."
"What!?"
On hearing this, Nie Bao and the others were shocked. Although the news that these Destruction-level Transcendents were seeking the manifestation of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao wasn’t a secret, Su Qi claiming to have seen it made him seem quite credible.
Thus, they were astounded and immediately shifted their focus from the mutated realm to Su Qi, asking anxiously, "Su, Nephew Su... if you really have information on the manifestation of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao, could you share it with us? If we can use it to ascend to Catastrophe Level, we will surely follow your lead!"
To this, Su Qi merely smiled, not too concerned.
"No need for that; it’s not a secret. Once, when the Thirteenth District experienced a strange outbreak and after the whole city moved, a sky-covering beast head manifested above the sky, erasing the entire district. Just when we thought it was unavoidable, a voice rang out, instantly shattering it."
"If I am not mistaken, that beast head should have been the manifestation of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao..."
"But after that, when the Fourteenth District experienced changes and the strangeness invaded, I didn’t sense that presence again, so I believe that the so-called manifestation of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao might not have truly manifested yet or remains dormant in the Thirteenth District, or else the Fourteenth District wouldn’t be a deserted city now; it would have been erased."
At this point, Nie Bao and the others felt excited hearing such secrets and were about to inquire further.
Suddenly, in the corner of their eyes, they inadvertently caught sight of a white, jade-like hand extending from the mutated realm, as if gently playing with something!
At this moment.
Not only were Nie Bao and the others stunned, even Su Qi and Pei Jing suddenly felt a chill down their spines, not daring to breathe.
That was...
A human arm!
A strange creature?
No...
Su Qi had seen many strange creatures, even interacted with many humanoid beings, but such a hand, identical to a human woman’s and without any mutation features, was unprecedented!
