High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen didn't give it a chance to send another message. He swooped down from above the reef and decapitated it with a single blow.

[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 2469 kill points.]

The fourth one is on the south side of the island, with two third-tier ghost-faced fish demons.

They have realized the danger and have stopped sending signals, instead fleeing towards the deep sea.

Song Chen chased after it for three hundred meters, catching up with the first one and slashing it once. He caught up with the second one and slashed it once more. Both corpses sank into the deep sea.

[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 511 kill points.]

[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 483 kill points.]

The fifth, the sixth, the seventh...

Song Chen's figure appeared and disappeared in every corner of Guangchang Island. Each appearance was accompanied by a system notification sound, and each disappearance left behind a corpse.

The last messenger beast is hidden in the kelp forest in the southwest of the island.

A third-tier demonic fish-faced creature clung tightly to the roots of seaweed, its mouth shut, afraid to utter a sound. It stopped trying to communicate. It only wanted to hide.

Song Chen hovered above the seaweed forest, the golden light of his Vision Eye penetrating through the layers of seaweed and locking onto his location.

He didn't go down. Instead, he activated the Nine Heavens Thunderclap, and a bolt of purple lightning struck the seaweed forest from his palm. The lightning traveled along the roots of the seaweed and precisely pierced the spine of the Ghost-Faced Fish Demon.

A cloud of dark green blood mist exploded in the kelp forest, then returned to silence.

[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 502 kill points.]

Song Chen withdrew his hand, eliminated all the communication beasts, and turned to swim towards the mountainside.

Next, it's time to lure out the fifth-tier beast king.

When Song Chen returned to the foot of the mountain, Lin Zhao was waiting for him behind the low wall.

Three sea monster corpses lay at her feet; she hadn't been idle while he was cleaning up the messenger beasts.

"All the patrolling beasts on the island have been cleared out."

"Old Zhou had someone drug the two ends of the fourth floor of the teaching area. They won't wake up for half an hour."

Song Chen glanced at her: "What medicine?"

Lin Zhao sheathed his sword and explained, "The seaweed toxin is extracted from the blue-ringed seaweed on the island. It has a paralyzing effect on the nervous system of alien beasts. Old Zhou has been extracting it for thirty years, but the amount he has accumulated is only enough to take down two fourth-tier beasts."

Song Chen nodded. He looked at the mountain behind the low wall, where the reactor was operating in the experimental area inside the mountain.

"Let's begin."

Lin Zhao took out a metal cylinder from her waist. The cylinder was engraved with psionic patterns. It was a signal repeater that she had brought from the experimental area.

She pressed the crystal core at the top of the cylinder, and a very thin wave of mental energy shot out from the cylinder, flying along the passage inside the mountain towards the experimental area.

A moment later, a muffled sound came from inside the mountain, like a huge bell being struck, which traveled along the rocks and made the whole mountain tremble slightly.

Psionic energy surged from within the mountain, its concentration rapidly increasing.

Song Chen sensed that the reactor interior was accelerating at an abnormal rate, indicating a critical accident.

The rhythm of the waves was disrupted, psionic particles churned violently in the air, and the eerie blue light was blindingly bright.

The island's inhabitants emerged from their stone houses and looked up toward the mountain peaks.

Then, the sea exploded.

In the deep sea north of the island, an unimaginably vast aura is rising rapidly.

800 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters...

The water surface rose into a huge arc, and then shattered with a deafening roar.

The siren of the abyss rose to the surface.

Its main body is a sac-like structure with a diameter of over fifty meters, covered with dark purple bone plates, from which dark red psionic liquid seeps.

Dozens of tentacles extend from the sac, each tens of meters long, with the thickest part comparable to a water tank.

The tentacles were covered with countless suckers, each the size of a washbasin, with fine keratinous teeth along their edges, which shone a pale white in the psionic light.

Its head, if that place can be called a head, has three huge eyes, the outline of the entire island reflected in its amber vertical pupils.

Fifth Rank, Initial Stage; Guardian of Guangchang Island.

Its three eyes moved simultaneously, scanning the island.

It sensed the anomaly: the silence of the communication center, the disappearance of the direct bloodline, and the rampage of psionic energy in the reactor.

But it saw no enemy; the island was only occupied by a group of weak humans and a few patrolling beasts slumped in a corner.

A hint of confusion flashed in his vertical pupils, then turned into rage.

The abyssal sea monster let out a roar, a roar carrying the full pressure of a fifth-tier beast king.

The hissing sound transformed into a visible shockwave that spread from the sea to the island. Wherever the shockwave passed, coconut trees snapped in half, tiles from stone houses were blown off, and low-level sea creatures on the surface of the sea were shaken to the point of rolling belly up.

Song Chen stood behind the low wall, watching the shockwave approach him.

He had been waiting for a long time.

Just before the shockwave hit his body, the Wings of Gale unfolded behind him, the azure wings instantly pushing his speed to its limit.

He passed through the gap between the crests and troughs of the shockwave, whose power was distributed in a wave-like pattern, with an extremely narrow interlayer between the crests and troughs where the pressure was minimal.

His master-level movement technique allowed him to precisely cut into that narrow space.

He passed through the shockwave.

The three eyes of the abyssal siren simultaneously captured the human emerging from the shockwave.

Its vertical pupils contracted slightly. Third order?

A third-tier human martial artist passed through its roaring shockwave unscathed.

Song Chen didn't give it time to think. The instant it emerged from the shockwave, its right hand had already gripped the hilt of the Tianjun Blade.

He drew his sword, compressing all the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder onto the blade, creating a purple blade beam less than three meters long.

He moved through the tentacles on the left side of the abyssal siren, the tentacles lashing out from all directions, blocking all escape routes.

Song Chen's figure folded, flipped, and moved horizontally between the tentacles.

Each time a tentacle brushed against the hem of his clothes, he was able to use the last moment to deflect it.

The web of death woven from eighteen tentacles could not touch his body.

He passed through the swarm of tentacles.

The purple blade of light was simultaneously reflected in the three eyes of the abyssal siren.

It didn't have time to retract its tentacles or deploy its defenses; its main body, a sac fifty meters in diameter, was exposed to the blade.

Song Chen's knife slashed down.

The final move of the Thunderous Annihilation Blade's three deadly techniques is Thunderous Sky-Splitting.

A purple lightning blade extended from the edge of the blade, reaching a length of twenty meters.

The blade struck the center of the sac, causing the bone armor plates to shatter in the lightning, and dark red psionic liquid gushed out from the wound.

The abyssal siren let out a real scream, and all its tentacles lashed backward at the same time, trying to smash the human who dared to hurt it into a pulp.

But Song Chen had already left his original spot. He touched the tip of one of the tentacles that came out with his toes, used the force to spring upwards, and rose into the air thirty meters above the head of the abyssal sea monster.

The moonlight shone down from behind him, casting his shadow onto the enormous sac-like body of the abyssal siren.
