Chapter 1051: Chapter 1053: Black Night Knight

The same change didn’t just appear in Baidiya.

As the hole corroded by black smoke in the sky grew larger, the same change appeared across the world of the Federation.

Capital District, Shengjing City, Kunning Mountain, Hunter Association headquarters.

Ye Haimo sat in the brown tiger-skin chair, his eyes scanning the body of the beautiful female secretary beside him, staring at the tight button on her chest, worried it might suddenly pop off.

If it really popped off, Ye Haimo would have to display his gentlemanly demeanor and help her button up immediately.

The female secretary herself was also a powerful superpower user, and she ignored Ye Haimo’s gaze.

She had been working beside this guy for a long time, initially worried about being harassed by her boss, but later discovered that this guy was all bark and no bite.

If anything actually showed, he wouldn’t even dare to look.

Beside Ye Haimo’s office lay a shimmering Mirage Dragon, which looked as lifeless as a salted fish.

Ye Haimo had confiscated its phone, forbidding it from watching videos to train its illusion technique in the office.

Suddenly the Mirage Dragon raised its hand, instantly shifting from a salted fish state to a battle-ready state; its illusion technique was based on ultra-micromanaging water flow, making it highly sensitive to energy.

It sensed that the energy in the air seemed to suddenly become stronger.

Ye Haimo, after the Mirage Dragon, also sensed the oddity, but this strangeness originated within himself.

The energy within his body suddenly became very active; what was once a chasm-like bottleneck now seemed as thin as rice paper.

Curious, Ye Haimo attacked the Realm, and suddenly, with a boom, endless energy descended from thin air.

The female secretary looked at Ye Haimo with surprise; the president no longer seemed a slightly bald, greasy middle-aged man; within that ordinary exterior, there seemed to be numerous grotesque flood dragons roaring.

These roaring flood dragon phantoms gathered behind Ye Haimo into a majestic, enormous, mysterious Dragon Kind she had never seen before.

The Mirage Dragon turned its head to look at Ye Haimo, its mouth agape in shock, drooling onto the floor without noticing.

Ye Haimo was also startled; he didn’t expect that by just trying, his Realm would break through.

So he immediately flew out of the building toward a desolate mountain nearby.

When breaking through to Catastrophe Level, a superpower user resonates with the ‘world’, causing a permanent alteration in the surrounding environment.

When Xun Ying broke through, it was at the Xun Family’s Sword Mound, where generations of ‘Sword Immortals’ of the Xun Family had broken through.

That place had become a world of ‘swords’; a superpower user other than a swordsman who intrudes upon the Sword Mound will immediately be attacked by Sword Qi and easily torn to pieces.

Ye Haimo didn’t know what impact his advancement would have on the surroundings, but if it were a negative impact, the Capital headquarters would be finished.

During his flight, Ye Haimo saw a surge of strong auras erupting within the headquarters; more than one person was suddenly advancing at this time.

“Something must have happened; my breakthrough may not be a good thing.”

Ye Haimo didn’t have time to think too much; he sat on the desolate mountain top and closed his eyes to feel his energy.

All the birds, beasts, snakes, and insects around instinctively moved toward Ye Haimo’s direction, dozens of large fish over a meter long jumped out from the river, struggling toward Ye Haimo.

The snake closest to Ye Haimo quickly thickened and lengthened, its fine scales turning into hard dragon scales, four long claws growing from its waist, and sharp horns beginning to sprout from its head.

It was transforming into a dragon!

Not just this snake, other creatures also began to develop dragon characteristics…

…

U.S.-Canada District, northern Massachusetts, turning left at a certain intersection on Els Highway, driving a bit further, you would see a piece of barren land.

The plants on this land had exceedingly vigorous life force; the trees were exceptionally tall, wild grass was rampant, and brambles were everywhere.

Further in, you could see a dilapidated and secluded small town.

This small town was called Witch, the base of Profane Blood in the U.S.-Canada District.

Witch Town was not known nearby; many drivers who frequently traveled on Els Highway were unaware of its existence.

There were very few outsiders in the town, so Profane Blood was very safe hiding here.

In an estate to the north of the town sat Egger, the Corrupt Blood, Foul Language Sorcerer of the U.S.-Canada District.

This powerful Corrupt Blood was also part of the radical faction within Profane Blood; he enjoyed subtly transforming ordinary people into terrifying aberrations.

At first, where he set his eyes, people would not notice any oddities, but their spirits would grow increasingly unstable, and their appearances would undergo slight changes.

That place would eventually become a desolate land like Witch Town, where only monsters that could no longer be called human resided.

At this moment, Egger had already completed the transformation of Witch Town; now the people here were merely monsters donning human skin, and anyone entering the town in the future would also be transformed into the same entity.

The longer this town lasted, the more it damaged the barrier of the real world, allowing divine beings from the Inner World to project more power here, and Profane Blood as a whole would grow increasingly stronger.

Egger packed his belongings, planning to wreak havoc on another group.

He rarely participates in large-scale activities, so he’s always kept a low profile, but the harm he can cause far exceeds that of some overly flashy superpower users of the same level.

Just as he was about to leave, Egger suddenly felt a surge of joy. The barrier that had troubled him for years suddenly disappeared completely!

This meant that he was about to ascend to Catastrophe Level!

By then, he would have the right to compete for the authority of the Profane Blood. He had long been dissatisfied with Galax, the Divine Blood Holder.

That guy, as the leader of the Profane Blood and the only Catastrophe Level powerhouse, was easily defeated by the ‘Black Night Knight,’ heavily injured, and fled.

If Egger successfully ascended this time, he must seize all the power of the Profane Blood from Galax.

Then… attack the Hunter Association headquarters in the U.S.-Canada District and personally kill the Black Night Knight!

Foul and profane energy surged madly within Egger, twisting and mutating Witch Town and the surrounding forests.

The ground manifested black mucus with white larvae, trees grew wildly, their postures becoming increasingly grotesque, and bizarre faces appeared on rocks.

The surrounding environment was permanently altered!

Egger opened his eyes and licked his lips, almost bursting into laughter.

Now he was a Catastrophe-Level Expert and qualified to call himself a Divine Blood Holder. The taste of happiness lingered in his heart, and he hummed a tune, eager to go out and find a few unlucky souls to transform into twisted monsters to celebrate.

“Do you feel happy after becoming Catastrophe Level?”

A deep and raspy voice appeared behind Egger, causing the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end, goosebumps forming on his skin.

‘Garaktu8&*…’

Egger pointed behind him, and countless limbs and chunks of flesh wrapped in mucus emerged from the void, launching indiscriminate attacks on his rear.

The last one, a giant mouth several meters in diameter with spiral teeth, spewed foul liquid, swallowing the limbs, flesh, and everything within its range in one bite.

But that eerie feeling persisted, sticking to Egger like a shadow.

Boom!

The giant mouth exploded, scattering chunks of flesh everywhere.

A man shrouded in thick black smoke walked out, rain of flesh falling around him.

Engulfed in smoke, his face was unclear, but it was barely visible that he wore black armor with a large black cape.

“Black Night… Knight!”

Egger instinctively wanted to escape. In the U.S.-Canada District, the Catastrophe Level Black Night Knight was like a nightmare, haunting the minds of all secret organizations and monsters.

Although he bore the title of Judicator, he was essentially a lone wolf, single-handedly battling monsters or secret organizations every night, plunging the secret organizations of the U.S.-Canada District into deep water and scorching fires.

If there were no monsters to fight, the Black Night Knight might even trouble the gangs.

Because he only operated at night, he was called the Black Night Knight.

But Egger remembered that he was now a Catastrophe-Level Expert, so he forcibly suppressed his fear,

“You haven’t appeared for a while, why can’t you just hide like a rat and stop coming out to irritate people?”

The Black Night Knight spoke leisurely: “You seem quite bold; those who speak to me like that all end up staring at their own brains.”

“You should watch your brain too, Black Night Knight. Ten minutes earlier and I would have fled, but now I have become divine!”

The Black Night Knight was silent for a moment, then tossed a basketball-sized object at Egger’s feet: “I may have arrived a bit late; you’ve become somewhat troublesome, so let’s resolve the trouble now.”

The object stopped rolling, and it was a bloodied head!

The several eyes on the head still rotated regularly, making one’s scalp tingle.

This head… belonged to the Divine Blood Holder Galax!

Egger took a sudden step back, looking horrified.

Even though he looked down on Galax, he knew how difficult it was to kill him, nearly immortal in his eyes, yet such a being had died at the hands of the Black Night Knight.

The Black Night Knight drew two black short swords and crossed them down toward Egger. Egger summoned countless rotting limbs, but they were all sliced apart by these two strikes, and a wound appeared on his shoulder.

At the same time, he sensed a power within the Black Night Knight even more twisted than his own, immediately raising the urge to retreat.

“This guy… is a monster, a monster even stronger than Catastrophe Level!”

“Leave here, leave this monster’s domain, anywhere as long as I can escape this monster…”

Egger hadn’t retreated far before a black short sword pierced his skull, viciously withdrawn, bringing with it some red and white matter.

Through the gaps in the smoke and armor, Egger saw the eyes of the Black Night Knight, filled with red veins and hysteria.

“I told you, those who speak to me like that all end up staring at their own brains!”
