Chapter 2, Imperial Flowing Pulp

Just as he was allowed to vent his feelings freely, a voice filled with anger shouted in his ear: "Shut up! Are you trying to wake up all the humans in the city?"

Those guys just left, and I wanted to ask someone what exactly is going on! Xu muttered to himself as he walked home, feeling quite bewildered by the events of the evening.

Xu Liao felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly retracted the remaining half of his roar back into his stomach, also pulling back the eight strands of dark energy, which slowly circled around the outer layer of the black light enveloping his entire body. However, the more than ten strands of killing intent were all withdrawn, and no one paid him any further attention, allowing Xu Liao to involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief. The voice just now seemed to belong to a girl. Xu Liao looked around but could not determine from which direction the voice had come.

Xu Le suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a chill surge from his tailbone all the way to his skull, causing every hair on his body to stand on end

The presence atop the rooftops of each community has become active, the radiance surging dramatically, even releasing clusters of strange light to intercept the milky-white rays transformed from the meteors

She gazed at Xu Le's departing figure and murmured to herself, "Why have I never seen this guy in this city? His ability to absorb the imperial flow is quite strong; the amount of imperial flow I intercepted is less than one-tenth of his."

A sudden tremor gripped his heart, and an ominous premonition arose within him. Soon, his premonition was confirmed; on the rooftops of nearby residential complexes, clusters of light began to appear. Within each cluster of light, there were faint shadows, some of which were human, some were beasts, some were birds, and others were trees and objects

The external black light continued to incessantly devour the "meteor," completely beyond his control. The power of this black light's consumption was exceedingly strong; even the entities on the rooftops of nearby buildings could hardly compare, with at most only two or three individuals being able to be mentioned in the same breath.

In an instant, Xu felt at least thirty to forty hostile auras locking onto him.

Grandma Huai said with a smile: "He is not an outsider"

These meteors did not flash by in an instant, but instead transformed into milky white rays cascading down from the night sky

As soon as he disappeared around the corner of the street, a cloud of mist appeared out of nowhere at the spot where he had just been, slowly expanding. A young girl dressed in moon-white palace attire emerged from the mist, frowning.

This is not over yet

In just over ten minutes, at least ten groups of "meteors" struck.

Aren't these fellows human? What purpose do they serve by intercepting these meteors?

The entities on the rooftops of several nearby residential complexes each display their abilities to intercept the falling "meteors" from the sky

Until the sky began to brighten slightly, the "shooting stars" in the sky gradually became sparse. I do not even know how much time has passed or how many groups of "shooting stars" I have consumed. As the last group of "shooting stars" was taken away by someone, the figures on the rooftops of several nearby residential buildings gradually disappeared.

I must be mistaken, I need to calm down for a while, and calm down a bit more...

With each additional cluster of meteors merging into his body, the devouring power within him grew stronger, ultimately forming a mass of black light that seemed capable of swallowing even light itself, completely enveloping his figure. The chilling aura intensified, and something within his body became increasingly active, eventually breaking free and transforming into eight streams of black mist, twisting and writhing like eight monstrous pythons

Xu had looked around a few times, but he did not notice any improvement in his vision; he still could not see the distant billboard clearly, thus ruling out the possibility of genetic mutation. As for what astronomical phenomenon could cause the heavily polluted city night sky to display such a clear and vibrant starry sky, Xu had no impression at all. He was not an astronomy expert to begin with, and moreover, he had a vague feeling that this should not be an astronomical phenomenon.

What kind of strange astronomical phenomenon have I encountered, or has there been a sudden genetic mutation that has drastically improved my vision? Normally, I can see seven or eight stars, but even when the sky is clear, how is it possible to suddenly see so many stars?

Having promised to comfort oneself with mindful words, it seemed as if something brightened in the sky for a moment, and then countless "shooting stars" fell.

A frail yet gentle voice emerged: "He was originally not a monster of this city"

The young girl dressed in moonlight white palace gauze bowed gently and said softly: "Grandma Huai! Haven't you seen him either? Could it be that this fellow is an outsider? Outsiders competing with the monsters of our Northern City for the Imperial Flowing Nectar is a violation of the rules of the Ten Thousand Monsters Association"

The cold and eerie aura transformed from the meteor seems to possess a certain mysterious power, instantly activating a mysterious organ within his body, generating a tremendous gravitational force that could swallow the heavens and devour the earth. Any "meteor" passing overhead would be drawn by this mysterious force, twisting in mid-air, and ultimately rushing towards him.

An old woman, who appeared very ugly yet had a kind and benevolent expression, emerged from a cloud of black mist. She leaned on a cane and hunched her back, yet she was full of spirit, exuding a strong aura.

The cold, piercing energy within him converged into a flowing force that he could even manipulate slightly; as long as he thought about gathering it to a specific area, this cold energy would move as if it were an extension of his own body, swirling and dancing around the designated spot. This cold energy was quite unique, also possessing the remarkable ability to invigorate and refresh the mind. Even after a sleepless night, he felt exceptionally alert, and the fatigue from returning from the exhibition had completely vanished. His entire being was filled with energy, as if it were about to burst forth.

At the moment when the eight streams of black energy shattered his body, Xu Le felt a refreshing sensation throughout his entire being, a kind of exhilaration that was beyond words. He let out a roar towards the sky, a sound so deep and resonant that even he had not anticipated it, akin to the sudden awakening of an ancient giant beast, reappearing in the world.

A massive "meteor" streaked across the night sky, seemingly about to fall to the earth, when it suddenly veered and rushed towards Xu Le. Instinctively, Xu Le raised his hand to shield his face, but it was of no use; he only felt a chill throughout his body as a cold, eerie energy merged with him.

Xu had taken a deep breath, suppressing the urge to scream for help and to flee in panic. Although the cold sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes, his legs felt weak, rendering him completely unable to move

Some released strange rays of light, sweeping across the area; some manipulated what seemed to be magical artifacts, soaring through the sky to intercept; others unleashed mysterious secret techniques, releasing enormous phantom beasts that devoured the heavens; ... even more released countless profound runes to form formations, with "meteors" actively coming to them ... . Each person's methods were different, and everyone devoted their energy to this task. Clearly, this matter was of great importance, and once the roar was suppressed, no one was willing to pay attention to him anymore. ...
