Doomsday: I Become Invincible By Picking Up

Chapter 85

C85 – Beast Tide

Employing the Dragon Fist technique, Murong Yuntian swiftly annihilated a Level 3 zombie in front of him.

The residual force flung several Level 1 zombies and mutated beasts in the vicinity.

He turned his gaze toward Loong Chen, and when he noticed Long Chen’s composure, his expression darkened.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a Red Hair Giant Ape not far away. It was a Level 5 High Rank Quasi Lord Class mutated beast.

A Level 6 mutated beast or a zombie could be classified as Lord Class. The Red Hair Giant Ape was only a step away from achieving that status.

“Loong Chen, your demise appears imminent.”

Murong Yuntian donned a cold smile and dashed toward the Red Hair Giant Ape.

Loong Chen brandished the Tyrannical Saber once more, dispatching several mutated beasts and zombies, though a frown creased his brow.

“This is too slow. I could unleash a large-scale attack, but there are human warriors among the zombies and mutated beasts.” Loong Chen muttered to himself.

He feared accidentally harming his fellow warriors.

Just then, his gaze shifted beyond the sea of beasts.

“If I venture deeper into their midst…”

A daring idea suddenly sprouted in Loong Chen’s mind. Others would undoubtedly deem him insane if they were privy to his thoughts.

Nevertheless, Loong Chen no longer harbored any doubts. He charged straight into the heart of the beast horde.

Hesitation didn’t align with Loong Chen’s character. Moreover, his spatial extraordinary talent offered him a protective shield, leaving his safety unquestioned.

Loong Chen wordlessly carved a path and soon found himself within the beast throng.

Within a hundred meters of him, zombies and mutated beasts abounded, with not a single human warrior in sight.

“Who is that individual? Is he out of his mind? He’s actually ventured into the depths of the beast swarm?”

“Does he hold no regard for his life? Escaping from the heart of the beast swarm would pose a formidable challenge even for a Level 5 Evolver.”

“Which unit does he belong to? Judging by his attire, he appears to be a member of the Flame Dragon Legion.”

“This is our responsibility. The Flame Dragon Legion must be rescued by its own members.”

Loong Chen’s actions drew the attention of numerous human warriors on the battlefield.

When they realized that Loong Chen was actually heading toward the heart of the beast tide, they were astounded. They believed that he was walking straight into certain death.

If he were to be surrounded by thousands of zombies and mutated beasts, escaping would be nearly impossible. Moreover, this time’s beast tide contained numerous formidable mutated creatures and zombies.

Lyi Jie, who had just dispatched a Level 4 mutated beast, glanced in Loong Chen’s direction. His expression shifted abruptly.

Concern etched across his face.

Loong Chen and his companions were representatives of the Dragon God Temple, all regarded as young prodigies; they shouldn’t be in harm’s way.

“Seems like he’s not heeding my advice. If I were trapped amidst a horde of zombies and mutated beasts, escaping might prove challenging.”

“I must go to his aid!”

Gritting his teeth, Lyi Jie dashed toward Loong Chen.

Dugu Lengyue, Murong Yuntian, and the others also noticed Loong Chen’s actions. Murong Yuntian’s face briefly displayed a hint of scorn.

As for Zhao Yun and the remaining three, they were unfamiliar with Loong Chen and thus had no vested interest in his safety.

Dugu Lengyue furrowed her brow. It wasn’t her typical concern, but Loong Chen wasn’t an ordinary member of their group.

When she considered how highly the Dragon Temple Master valued Loong Chen, she decided to head in his direction.

At this point, Loong Chen had already come to a halt.

“This is the spot.”

Surveying the surrounding zombies and mutated beasts, a cold smile crossed Loong Chen’s lips.

“Then, let the slaughter commence!”

“Earth Domain, Manipulate Gravity!”

As Loong Chen’s voice trailed off, an unusual energy seeped into the ground from his feet.

In an instant, the ground within a few hundred meters started quaking.

This area had now transformed into Loong Chen’s exclusive territory.

Long Chen bellowed loudly, summoning forth a potent gravitational force.

Those zombies and mutated beasts, drawn by the scent of living beings and seeking to approach Loong Chen, found themselves suppressed by this immense gravitational pull.

Some of the lower-tier creatures were even mercilessly crushed into pulp by the overwhelming gravitational force.

“Could this be an area-of-effect extraordinary talent attack? Is this the fabled Power of the domain?”

“Indeed, this has to be the Power of the domain. No wonder he dared to plunge into the midst of the zombie horde. It seems he has mastered this ability. These zombies are utterly futile before him.”

Regular Evolvers merely possessed enhanced physical abilities compared to ordinary people. If they were ever surrounded by thousands of zombies or mutated beasts simultaneously, the danger would be extreme.

The more low-level zombies there were, the more formidable the Evolver would become.

However, those awakened individuals wielding the Power of the domain were in a league of their own.

The Power of the domain constituted an area-of-effect assault. Such an ability might offer limited advantages in one-on-one combat.

But in a group battle, the Power of the domain proved incredibly valuable.

Regardless of the number of foes, they had to heed the commands of the Domain Lord presiding over the domain.

Loong Chen surveyed the scene. The lower-tier zombies and mutated beasts had been transformed into gruesome remnants under the relentless gravity, while the higher-tier zombies managed to hold on a bit longer.

Nevertheless, their resistance was ultimately futile.

Loong Chen activated the Cat Shadow Step, causing his form to blur into a series of swift afterimages.

All spectators could discern was a streak of chilling light slicing through the domain.

Wherever the icy radiance swept through, zombies and mutated beasts met their demise.

“Picking up done! Obtained Strength attribute*50.”

“Picking up done! Obtained Speed attribute*80.”

“Picking up done! Obtained Defense attribute*20.”

“Picking up done! Obtained 1000 experience points.”

“Picking up done! Obtained one Level 1 energy essence.”

With the continuous stream of system notifications ringing in his ears, Loong Chen’s physical prowess continued to surge.

Concurrently, Loong Chen observed the numbers on his battle credit bracelet rapidly climbing.

This battlefield seemed tailor-made for him. It provided Attribute Points, experience points, and battle credits.

If one could view the battlefield from a god’s perspective, they would notice that within a few hundred meters of Loong Chen, no zombie or mutated beast remained standing.

Amidst the sea of zombies and mutated beasts, Loong Chen’s dominance was striking.

“He’s incredibly powerful.”

Lyi Jie, originally headed towards Loong Chen for support, couldn’t help but halt in astonishment. He stared at Loong Chen in wide-eyed amazement.

After employing several Space Teleportations, Dugu Lengyue also became aware of Loong Chen’s situation and discreetly retreated.

Upon careful consideration, Dugu Lengyue realized that Loong Chen possessed exceptional spatial talents, which meant he could protect himself completely.

So, what was she concerned about?

Murong Yuntian’s countenance darkened. He had initially thought Loong Chen was seeking death, rendering framing him unnecessary.

He had never expected this turn of events.

“Seems like I need to take action.”
