Chapter 1746: Chapter 1746

"It’s just an Evil Beast, it seems we need to keep searching."

Du You shook his head and said, "No, one Evil Beast is enough. This Evil Qi, although unfamiliar to me, carries a scent of a power capable of destroying everything. This power, I can sense it."

Du You didn’t know why, but he was different from others in this regard. Even though the two sisters had already reached the eighth tier, sensing this power was still not that easy.

But for Du You, it was completely different because he could clearly feel the source and direction of this power. Perhaps it was because he himself also possessed the power of destruction; this was the only explanation Du You could think of.

"Let’s go, this way. I sense the Evil Qi is more concentrated in this direction." Du You pointed in a direction and said.

Lin Yucha controlled the Platform Floating Cloud to fly in that direction, and indeed, it didn’t take long before they saw Evil Beasts appearing one after another.

Each of these Evil Beasts had red eyes, frantically watching everything around. Once they discovered any target that could be destroyed, they would move in for the destruction, especially focusing on gemstones.

In this gathering area of Evil Beasts, Du You found that there were no usable gemstones left in this place.

On the ground, there were often some gemstone fragments or things that looked like they were once gemstones, but now they’ve become almost like ordinary stones or something similar to broken glass. The last hint of power within them had vanished. If he hadn’t known what they were before, Du You would never have thought these were once special gemstones.

"This is the kind of energy, just follow it, and we’ll find the location of those heretics."

Lin Yucha nodded and said, "Then which direction should we go next."

They had no interest in those Evil Beasts; taking down one or two didn’t mean anything. Moreover, a wrong move could alert their target, the Mad Lion Venerable, and they weren’t here to save this world.

Besides, in Du You’s view, this world was basically beyond saving.

Du You was not the saintly type who would waste a lot of time on such meaningless things. Orıginal content can be found at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

The three of them continued flying toward their target below, with little change in direction. As they flew, they encountered more and stronger Evil Beasts, eventually even encountering a sixth tier Evil Beast.

Of course, a sixth tier Evil Beast was completely different from a normal sixth tier; their power suppressed normal people but had fewer means, and they were not clear-headed. In an equal-tier battle, there was no guarantee of victory for either side.

However, if their numbers increased, the advantage would usually go to the Evil Beasts.

This suppression in power cannot be overcome with skill alone once it reaches a certain scale.

After searching for most of the day, finally, Du You smiled: "Found the target. Although the energy is very similar, there are still some differences." Du You pointed in a direction and spoke.

The two sisters almost simultaneously looked over in that direction: "I sense there are two people present, looks like these are two heretics."

They could only sense the presence of people, instinctively ignoring the malicious energy containing the power of destruction. Unless very close, normal people would probably feel the same.

When the three of them arrived, they indeed found two people wandering around there.

Du You was moved and constrained them. One of them, however, was struggling frantically, completely unaware of their predicament. The other looked very hot-tempered, not sensing any danger about their situation.

"This person has completely gone mad; such power is not something a normal person can withstand."

Du You looked at the crazed person, who had lost all reason, effectively becoming a crazed beast. In this regard, this guy was not much different from the Evil Beasts.

Even on his body, some mutation traits had started to appear.

Du You thought, perhaps reason was the key to maintaining one’s shape. If lost, who knows what they would eventually become, not even they themselves.

The other was still somewhat rational; Lin Yushi directly implanted a soul seed into his brain to extract information.

"They are local residents here, requesting transformation by heretics for survival. The transformation location is in that direction, a chamber hidden underground."

"Very well, let’s go take a look then."

For such madness, Du You no longer felt any anger, perhaps because he had seen too much. This world hadn’t been destroyed yet; most people were still alive and well.

If it really collapsed right down the middle, no one in this world would survive.

Being angry about such matters wasn’t something a rational person would do, and such a person couldn’t have reached this stage.

With the two sisters, Du You quickly found this stronghold. With their power, they easily took control of it and extracted memories from the depths of the soul.

It had to be said that heretics also had a hierarchy. If they were previously a gemstone user, they weren’t an ordinary heretic but an emissary of different levels, only they had the ability to convert ordinary people.

These people maintained reason because of this, allowing Du You to trace the path upward step by step based on their memories.

Three days later, Du You and the two sisters arrived above a circular mountain.

"Seems this is their stronghold. There are as many as eighteen seventh tier heretics, but no eighth tier. However, the power of these heretics also relies on same-tier gemstone transformations, and the eighth tier gemstones have probably been taken away." Du You briefly observed below before coming to that conclusion.

At this moment, those heretics were in a meeting. Or rather, it seemed like they were constantly in meetings, like brainwashing.

Waves of people came below, with some people being converted every so often, and some were captured from unknown places. At first, these people resisted, but after conversion, they became very obedient.

It appeared the conversion could also twist people’s minds.

"Too bad we don’t know where the Mad Lion Venerable is, that guy probably doesn’t emit this kind of energy."

Lin Yushi suddenly said, "Then let’s take them out; without these guys, the Mad Lion Venerable will definitely come out, right?" Du You’s eyes lit up; Lin Yushi was right.
