I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 352

Chapter 352: Changes

The news that Li, the God of Slaughter, had entered the dungeon spread like wildfire, instantly shocking the entire Great Xia Nation.

Buzz!

Everyone’s minds went blank. Leaving at this time was not a good choice, as traces of Source-level dimensional creatures had appeared within the dungeon.

These were not something that mere Destruction-level players could contend with.

At the same time, many people also noticed that some Apocalypse Realm experts who had been guarding Great Xia Nation had disappeared without a trace. It was highly likely that they, like Li Feng, had entered the dungeon.

“They are seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough!” someone exclaimed. Ever since they learned that Sky Blue Star lacked dark matter energy, everyone had been searching for hope of a breakthrough.

Everyone understood that although Li Feng had made a great name for himself through slaughter, without Source-level experts holding the fort, Sky Blue Star would eventually be defeated.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the otherworldly creatures were currently intimidated. That was because the truly powerful ones had not yet arrived. Otherwise, it would be a completely different story.

“No matter what, Li Feng has bought us time. I hope they can all gain something and quickly break through to the Source level,” someone said.

Li Feng’s departure was irreversible. Now, the people of Great Xia Nation could only pray that these experts who had entered the dungeon would return having achieved a breakthrough.

Meanwhile,

Xuan Yi and the other otherworlders also received this news.

However, they did not act rashly. Li Feng had just left, and if they provoked the human race now, what would happen if he returned and settled scores with them one by one?

Not only him, but the people who had descended from the Goblin Kingdom did the same. The Ancient Demon Clan also lay dormant, taking no drastic actions.

“Adopt a policy of appeasement, not too aggressive. Hmm, postpone the banquet for now,” Taotie transformed into a handsome young master, dressed in a white robe, holding a fan, and taking three steps and a shake of his head, as if he had stepped out of ancient times.

Such retro attire left some humans dumbfounded.

However, the actions of these otherworldly creatures reassured the people of Sky Blue Star, at least temporarily preventing bloodshed.

This was a relatively peaceful period of development.

…

…

King’s Canyon!

In an open forest, three people were running frantically. They were two men and a woman. Their faces were pale, their clothes stained with blood. Like three streaks of light, they fled in a sorry state.

Behind them, a tall creature wielding a broadsword was in pursuit. This creature had a terrifying appearance: a lion’s head, a humanoid body, tall and robust, exuding a powerful aura that was faintly approaching the Destruction level.

His gaze was cold, revealing a bloodthirsty expression as he hunted his prey.

“I can’t… I can’t hold on any longer. You guys escape. I’ll hold him back for a while to buy you some time,”

a weak voice sounded. It was the woman among the three.

“Chen Hong, if we escape, we escape together. Most of your skills are on cooldown. You won’t be able to hold him back for long. Let’s fight to the death. We might have a chance,” one of the men beside her said.

They had originally entered the dungeon to train and comprehend destructive energy, but they were ambushed by dimensional creatures and found themselves in a life-or-death crisis.

The last man spoke, “Sigh, I shouldn’t have taken the risk in the first place.”

He was the one who had suggested entering the dungeon. He hadn’t expected that the Destruction-level dungeons had undergone drastic changes recently. Many Destruction-level dimensional creatures had appeared, and there were even more terrifying existences that made their life essence tremble.

They had wanted to exit the dungeon but were targeted by a creature close to the Destruction level and were trapped here.

“Don’t blame yourself. We all agreed on this decision, cough cough,” the man beside her said, followed by a fit of coughing. A large amount of blood flowed from his mouth.

“That’s right. Instead of blaming ourselves, we might as well fight this creature. Maybe we can fight our way out,” Chen Hong said, her tone cold, with a sense of going all out.

Buzz.

The three of them stopped simultaneously. Space trembled, and a gust of wind swept around them.

“Haha, why have you three little bugs stopped running? This is no fun at all.”

The terrifying dimensional creature caught up, standing in the void, looking at the three of them as if they were prey.

Hearing this, Chen Hong and the others’ expressions turned extremely ugly. As expected, the other party was toying with them. If he had used his full strength from the beginning, they might already be dead.

“Although you’ve given me some entertainment these past few days, since you’ve stopped running, you ants can die!” the lion-headed creature said indifferently, his tone full of killing intent. He raised the broadsword in his hand high and then slashed down at the three.

The terrifying sword energy rippled through the air. Cracks appeared in the surrounding space. Ancient trees on the ground were uprooted, and stones exploded.

“Guardian Shield!”

“Absolute Defense!”

“Myriad Growth!”

Chen Hong and the others roared simultaneously. A transparent wave of light appeared in front of them, blocking the attack. Then, a strong wind blew out, forming a curtain. Finally, one vine after another extended, forming a semi-circular bird’s nest, covering the three.

“A futile struggle!”

The lion-headed creature sneered. The speed of the broadsword in his hand suddenly increased. With a bang, the layer of light shattered first, like a mirror scattering. The broadsword collided with the green curtain.

Instantly, the strong wind stopped. The green curtain was broken open. The sword’s momentum did not diminish and fell straight down!

Boom!

The void shook. The bird’s nest made of vines was instantly shattered. Chen Hong and the other two, like injured geese, fell backward, spitting out blood. They finally crashed to the ground after knocking down more than ten ancient trees.

All three were soaked in blood, their auras weak and intermittent.

“It seems… we’re all going to die here today,” Chen Hong said bleakly. Now that the dungeon had changed drastically, no experts dared to venture into the dungeon. There was no way to ask for help.

The other two also felt a sense of despair.

“Such weak humans. After I kill you, I’ll enter your planet and hunt other humans,” the lion-headed creature said coldly, like a god looking down from above.

Chop!

The broadsword fell through the air, like a divine light, sharp and fierce, slashing towards the three’s heads.

Chen Hong and the other two closed their eyes, awaiting death.

Bang.

Just as the broadsword was about to behead the three, the space beside them suddenly split open like a flat surface. A large hand reached out and blocked the broadsword.

Clang! A metallic sound echoed in the air, and sparks flew.

“What?” Chen Hong and the other two, seeing that death had not yet come, opened their eyes and saw this astonishing scene.

The terrifying broadsword, carrying a terrifying force, could cut through gold and stone, and even split a mountain in half. But now, it was caught by a hand.

The terrifying cold wind blew towards them, their hair flying behind them. The three were stunned.

◈◈◈

“Who are you?” the lion-headed expert asked coldly, and then continued, “No matter who you are, daring to appear before me and ruin my fun, you deserve to die!”

This creature was very hostile towards humans. Seeing Li Feng, he was not afraid but extremely excited.

“You’re courting death!”

Seeing this, Li Feng’s expression turned slightly cold. He could feel a strong killing intent from this lion-headed creature. He didn’t know how many humans had died at his hands.

“You are the one courting death. Die and become blood!” The lion-headed expert laughed and tried to pull the broadsword out of Li Feng’s hand to give him a slash. Suddenly, his words stopped abruptly.

Because he found that he couldn’t pull the broadsword out at all. It was as if it were suppressed by an immeasurable mountain, firmly fixed in the void.

“Roar!” He roared in anger, giving up on pulling out the broadsword. He punched at Li Feng. Terrifying air waves rippled out like waves.

Li Feng fiercely flung the broadsword in his hand. It spun in the air like a wheel of light and collided with the opponent’s fist.

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted in the void. An incredulous look flashed across the lion-headed creature’s face. His arm shattered inch by inch and then exploded. The wheel of light slammed into his body, sending him flying hundreds of meters into the air. His body was torn apart, turning into a rain of blood.

Chen Hong and the other two had just recovered when they saw such a shocking scene.

Previously, this lion-headed expert had chased them to the point where they had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Now, he was killed with a single blow.

“Thank you for saving our lives, Senior. Are you a Destruction-level expert?” Chen Hong asked tremblingly. She looked at Li Feng. This was an unfamiliar expert, not matching any of the Destruction Realm experts she knew. He was too young.

However, at the Destruction level, lifespans greatly increased. It wasn’t unusual for some people to regain their youth.

Li Feng shook his head and then said, “You could say that. No need to call me Senior. Just call me Li Feng.”

In fact, according to the player profession system, he was still at the Awakened level. But according to the Xianxia system, he had stepped into the Destruction level.

Chen Hong was a little confused. She had never heard of such an expert before. But she didn’t dare to ask too many questions. She said, “Did Senior recently rise to prominence?”

The three of them had been in King’s Canyon for several years and were completely unaware of the major changes that had taken place outside.

“Yes,”

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Have you been in the dungeon for several years?”

Chen Hong and the others nodded. One of the men said, “Yes, it’s embarrassing to say, but we’ve been training here for three years and still haven’t comprehended destructive energy to step into the Destruction Realm.”

Hearing this, Li Feng understood. His name was almost known to everyone outside. It would be difficult for anyone not to know his name.

“Li… Senior Li, has something major happened outside?” Chen Hong didn’t dare to call Li Feng by his name directly, so she added the prefix “Senior.”

At the same time, she had a faint premonition because the dungeon had changed a lot recently, and many unfamiliar experts had appeared.

“Yes, there have been big changes, even affecting the dungeons. A group of otherworlders has descended,” Li Feng briefly explained what had happened during this period.

After listening, Chen Hong and the other two were dumbfounded, their expressions dazed.

Three years! It was as if they had been isolated from the world for hundreds of years. Otherworldly creatures had descended outside and could reach Sky Blue Star without going through dungeons. This news shocked them.

“Are otherworlders running rampant outside now? Are we in a bad situation? Are there any experts who can deal with those otherworlders?” Chen Hong asked anxiously. She was worried. She had family living outside and was afraid they had encountered misfortune.

The young man beside her was very pessimistic. He said, “It’s unlikely. There are already so many Destruction-level dimensional creatures in the dungeon. The situation outside must be even worse, extremely bad. It’s uncertain whether the human race can survive this disaster.”

“Gods have appeared. How can we humans resist? And we can’t break through to the Source level. We’re destined to be defeated,” the last person said bitterly.

Chen Hong felt a sense of despair, feeling that life was hopeless.

Li Feng was speechless. It was his fault for not explaining clearly. The three of them had imagined the worst. In their minds, the human race outside was living a miserable life.

“There was a great slaughter previously, but experts from Sky Blue Star also took action and killed several otherworlders. Great Xia Nation has ushered in a period of peace,” Li Feng explained patiently. He had just arrived in King’s Canyon and wanted to find someone to understand the changes here.

Although he had gathered a lot of information about King’s Canyon before entering, the dungeon had recently undergone drastic changes. There might be changes, and he needed someone to guide him. This was also why he was talking to these people.

“Good riddance. They deserved to die. Those otherworldly creatures are too ruthless. They slaughtered millions of people as soon as they arrived,” Chen Hong and the other two said angrily after hearing this.

At the same time, they were filled with gratitude towards that expert.

“Senior, you came into the dungeon for a reason, right? What do you want to do, Senior?” Chen Hong calmed down and asked. She was very smart and knew that an expert like Li Feng would not talk to them without a reason. There must be something he needed help with.

At this time, the two young men beside her also came to their senses and spoke up. As long as it was something they could do, they would definitely help.

“I want to know where the Overlord’s Forbidden Zone is,” Li Feng said without being too polite.

“Senior, we don’t know the exact location of the Overlord’s Forbidden Zone at the moment,” Chen Hong replied with a wry smile, and then explained, “During this period, the entire dungeon world has been rapidly expanding. Many peaks and mountains have appeared on flat ground. The ground has been stretched. Some small streams have expanded into lakes, and even oceans have appeared. Now, this is also an unfamiliar environment for us. Some familiar areas from before might be thousands of miles away from where we think they are.”

Li Feng was disappointed and frowned. This world had changed too much. Even the Overlord’s Forbidden Zone had moved from its original location.

“You guys should leave this place quickly. The dungeon is no longer suitable for your training,” Li Feng finally said.

King’s Canyon was originally a Destruction-level dungeon. Now it had become even more terrifying. Destruction-level dimensional creatures could be seen running rampant everywhere.

Hearing this, Chen Hong and the other two looked at each other and made a decision. Their strength was indeed a bit weak and not suitable for staying here.

Finally, Chen Hong gritted her teeth and said, “Senior, I’m sorry we couldn’t help you. But I’ve already had some thoughts about a breakthrough. It won’t be long before I can step into the Destruction Realm. I’ll come and help Senior then.”

“You’re about to break through?” The two men beside Chen Hong widened their eyes in surprise.

Hearing this, Li Feng was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this person to be on the verge of a breakthrough. Then he shook his head and rejected her offer.

A Destruction-level expert really couldn’t help him!
