Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality

Chapter 35: Demon Emperor

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

According to the little girl’s description, the rift was located on the west side of Stone Village, near the mountaintop.

Su Mo fell behind the group and followed them.

Before they even saw the rift, the surrounding environment had already begun to change. Most of the verdant and green trees had lost their green color and turned gray and black. The tree trunks, which were already quite thick, became even thicker, almost requiring two or three people if they were each to be hugged.

The branches on the tree were all twisted and many roots crawled out of the ground, forming a large patch. Some of the roots were even wriggling slowly, like tentacles with life.

Looking at this strange forest, Su Mo’s eyes could not help but twitch. Those who didn’t know would think that they had stepped into a fantasy world.

Without a doubt, the appearance of these trees further confirmed the existence of the spatial rift. Only the origin power that leaked out from the rift could have such a huge impact on the surrounding environment.

From the mutation of these trees, it could be seen that origin power was by no means a safe thing. If one were to consume it without restraint, one would likely end up no different from these trees. It was no wonder that most of the Transcendents with evil professions had gone crazy.

After passing through the complex roots that covered the surface of the ground, everyone soon saw the Door that they had been long searching for. It was on an exposed mountain and was no longer than five meters long and two meters wide. It was quietly floating at a low altitude, about three meters above the ground.

At first glance, it looked like a small rift had been torn in the canvas-like space. Countless light gray air currents were coming out of the rift and one could faintly hear a low whistling sound.

There was no doubt that this was the origin power that was close to materializing.

From this origin power, Su Mo could not only feel great power but also heart-palpitating madness and layers of mental illusions.

“This must be the most turbid part of the origin power,” Su Mo quickly collected his thoughts and did not look anymore.

He cast his gaze around the Door.

A large group of fox demons was squatting, sitting, or standing, guarding the Door. The most eye-catching ones were the three giant fox demons near the Door, each the size of a truck.

The one on the left was black and covered in disgusting mucus. The one in the middle was bright crimson but had no fur. The one on the right was deathly pale, but its eyes were pitch black as if they were two holes.

Out of the three, the black one on the left had a weaker aura. As for the other two, just looking at them from afar made Su Mo feel as if he was suffocating.

“Other than one at level 4, there are two level 5 ones?!” Xu Liushuang and the others were shocked.

Apart from the shock, they also noticed what the fox lords were doing.

The three fox lords were guarding a pile of void-splitting stones and stimulating the power within them. Under the effect of this power, the spatial rift above them gradually expanded at an extremely slow speed.

Clearly, they were trying their best to open up a spatial rift in preparation for even stronger demons to come over from the origin world.

Xu Liushuang, who had planned to wait for reinforcements when he saw the enemy’s strength, noticed this and immediately ordered, “Stop them!”

He gave the order and took the lead in charging toward the group of fox demons.

The black fox lord let out a roar.

With that, many levels 2 and 3 fox demons stood up and blocked Xu Liushuang like a flood. Xu Liushuang’s attacks were unstopping as he continued to charge forward, and none of the fox demons in his way were his match.

The Transcendents behind him immediately went into the group of fox demons and engaged in an unprecedented fierce battle with the fox demons around them as well.

The battle entered a white-hot state from the beginning.

On the other hand, Su Mo and Xue Qiaoqiao, who had yet to recover, waited quietly at the edge of the battlefield.

In front of them were three long-range Transcendents, led by Chu Qingwu, and two other supporting Transcendents.

Chu Qingwu and the other long-range Transcendents continued to shoot, supporting their teammates on the battlefield and clearing out some enemies that they couldn’t take care of.

Meanwhile, the two supporting Transcendents cast their abilities, either to enhance and heal their comrades or interfere with the enemy.

Although the number of Transcendents was not many, they relied on their tacit cooperation to fight the many fox demons and even had the upper hand.

Unfortunately, no one knew how long this advantage would last.

After all, the enemy’s numbers were too great. Once they were exhausted, they might fall into a situation of defeat.

The most important thing was the battle situation at the higher levels. Once the higher levels failed, even if they won with great difficulty, the number of people on the scene was not enough to kill three fox lords.

Su Mo worriedly looked towards the spatial rift.

He saw the afro, Xu Wei, fighting intensely with the level 4 black fox lord. Xu Liushuang, on the other hand, was fighting one against two, facing the other two level 5 fox lords.

Originally, Su Mo did not have much knowledge of Xu Liushuang’s combat power. After all, Xu Liushuang had only made a few moves before, and they didn’t seem to be too amazing.

But this time, when he actually watched Xu Liushuang’s battle, only then did Su Mo understand why the other party was considered the strongest level 4 in Tianmu City.

This was because he was able to fight to a standstill against the two level 5 fox lords who were one level higher than him and were supreme rulers of the demon horde.

It must be known that cross-level battles usually only ever happened in the lower levels. For example, advancing from level 1 to level 2 only meant that the body would be strengthened and one would gain an additional skill while having one’s skills enhanced slightly. As such, a slightly stronger level 1 could easily beat a level 2.

However, the further one advanced, the greater the gap between each level. For example, going from level 9 to level 10 was a leap in the essence of life, it was the difference between humans and gods. The difference was simply unimaginable.

Even a group of level 9 Transcendents would not be a match for a level 10 being, let alone one level 9.

Yet, Xu Liushuang could fight two level 5 demons with his level 4 strength.

Perhaps some people would say that he had borrowed the power of the magic items he had on him. However, the two level-5 fox lords were the rulers of their race, and they would not lack magic items either. At least, in less than three minutes of battle, Su Mo had seen them use five magic items.

However, Xu Liushuang did not lose because of this. Rather, he didn’t even suffer any serious injuries.

As time passed, Xu Liushuang intentionally exposed a flaw. After taking a direct hit from the pale fox lord’s claw, he activated a skill and instantly injured the opponent, then killed the fox lord on the spot.

The other crimson fox lord was shocked and retreated on reflex. Xu Liushuang’s face was pale but he immediately threw a ring at it. Without any hesitation, he detonated the extremely precious earth-grade magic item.

The crimson fox lord let out a blood-curdling screech and fell under the spatial rift. Then, it turned around only to see three other rings flying toward it in a triangular formation. The crimson fox lord’s face was filled with fear and extreme shock.

The terrifying magic items exploded in an instant, emitting a dazzling light. An endless amount of power spread out in all directions.

Even Xu Wei and the black fox lord, who were fighting on the other side, were sent flying for dozens of meters. At this moment, no matter if it was the fox demon or the Transcendents, everyone was shocked.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the scene of the explosion. Then, they saw a huge pit with a huge claw in it. It was a terrifying sharp claw covered in black patterns, nearly two meters wide and as thick as a Roman Pillar. It emerged from the spatial rift and stood in front of the crimson fox lord.

Even after taking the detonation of the magic items head-on, there was not a single wound on the surface of the claw’s skin. It was as if the fatal attack from before was just an illusion.

When Xu Liushuang saw this, his expression changed drastically as he said in disbelief, “A demon emperor?!
