Chapter 887: Demon Eye Mutation, Kill, Mission Completed
Whether as shadows, monstrous beasts, or twisted humanoids,
And so on and so forth.
The only similarity was that they all exuded an extremely evil and violent aura.
Like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, these Abyssal Demons launched a frenzied assault on their camp.
A barrage of magical treasures, divine powers, and spells formed a dense barrier of light in defense.
However, without their leading cultivators, who had been trapped in the illusionary space, their position was decidedly disadvantaged.
Thankfully, their swift escape from the illusionary space gave them a fighting chance.
Otherwise, facing the current onslaught, holding off the Abyssal Demons would have been a daunting task.
Boom!
Suddenly, a five-colored radiance flashed in Jiang Chengxuan’s palm, utterly consuming a centipede-like Abyssal Demon that was closest to him.
[Ding.]
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully killed the Abyssal Demon.]
[Current mission progress: 1%]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Jiang Chengxuan was immediately spurred into action, launching another attack without hesitation.
His palm shone with the golden light of the Sun True Fire.
Rumble!
With the flames burning, two more Abyssal Demons near him were reduced to ashes.
At this moment, the other cultivators present also sprung into action.
Suddenly, the Abyssal Demons, which had been rampaging, were suppressed by Jiang Chengxuan and his allies.
As more and more Abyssal Demons were slain, an odd fluctuation swept through the air.
Sun Longxiang, Gao Baiyue, and others momentarily felt dazed but quickly recovered, thanks to their exceptional abilities.
However, the others began to exhibit signs of bewitchment, turning against their comrades instead of the Abyssal Demons.
“Damn it!
This is the Abyssal Demons’ power of bewitchment,” Sun Longxiang said with a grim expression.
“If we don’t resolve this quickly, it’ll be hard for the others to recover any time soon.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze sharpened.
The next moment, auras of blue, red, yellow, white, and green radiance emerged behind him.
With a swift motion, a five-colored divine light swept across the body of one Abyssal Demon, immobilizing it.
Simultaneously, Shen Ruyan, standing beside him, unleashed her Five Lightning Immortal Slayer.
Rumble!
A surge of thunder erupted.
A dazzling burst of light flashed across the sky, marking the demise of the Abyssal Demon under their combined force.
At the same moment, those previously ensnared in combat jolted awake, fully regaining their senses.
Jiang Chengxuan checked his mission progress.
After this battle, he was astonished to find that he had completed half of his mission.
Which meant…
During this skirmish, nearly fifty Abyssal Demons had perished under his hand.
Unfortunately, it seemed they had nearly eradicated all the Abyssal Demons present.
Completing the system’s mission in this wave seemed increasingly unlikely.
Crack—
Suddenly, the space before the group split open, and an eye filled with chaos, brutality, and evil emerged, captivating everyone’s gaze.
“Arghhhh!”
Anyone who laid eyes on it experienced various degrees of mutation, with even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan sprouting black hairs on their skin.
Fortunately, with a slight circulation of their Dharmic power, they quickly dispelled these mutations.
While such occurrences might be trivial for cultivators of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s caliber, they spelled disaster for the lesser cultivators among them.
In just a short while, nearly half of them underwent severe mutations, on the brink of losing their consciousness.
At this critical moment, Gao Baiyue swiftly produced an ancient-looking copper lamp from his possession.
The lamp, once lit, cast a dim yellow glow that halted the mutations in the affected cultivators.
Their bodily anomalies, such as bone spurs and strange appendages, began to fade away.
“Hehehe…”
However, a creepy, unsettling laugh suddenly echoed from the direction of the eye.
Then, numerous Abyssal Demons, resembling gigantic bats each stretching dozens of meters in length, flew out from within the eye.
Their mouths opened wide, emitting a piercing screech capable of penetrating the soul, resonating in everyone’s ears.
“Arghhhh!”
Immediately, the heads of some cultivators burst open, while others seemed to be contaminated once more by that chaotic and disorderly energy.
Their bodies underwent grotesque transformations, turning into monstrous beings that attacked their own companions.
“You’re courting death!”
This scene incited fury in Sun Longxiang and the others.
They unleashed their full power, directing their Dharma treasures and divine powers towards the attacking bat demons.
Jiang Chengxuan seized this opportunity without hesitation.
With a wave of his hand, the Five Elements Diagram transformed into a vast canopy above them.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, the map enveloped dozens of the bat demons in an instant.
Then, with a vigorous shake,
Splatter!
In a moment, all the bat demons wrapped by the Five Elements Diagram dissolved into blood.
At this point, Jiang Chengxuan was only a small step away from completing the mission assigned by the system.
Without holding back any longer, the Five Elements Diagram morphed into the Golden Void Sword.
A series of whooshing sounds filled the air as countless bat demons were reduced to dust under Jiang Chengxuan’s Golden Void Sword.
The air was suddenly filled with the terrified screams of the bat demons.
However, Jiang Chengxuan remained undeterred, increasing the speed of his Golden Void Sword.
When he had slain the last Abyssal Demon required for his system mission, his mind finally received the system’s prompt.
