The horror of soul devourers was something Qian Xinxin had witnessed before.
This guy, by itself, had almost no combat power. If your strength was sufficiently great, two or three soul devourers couldn't occupy you. In that case, they were just a group of harmless decorations.
But once they appeared in swarms, no matter how powerful you were, you would eventually have your consciousness easily devoured, and you would be occupied to become a walking corpse that only knew how to kill.
What's more, the most troublesome thing about this guy was its spiritual body attribute; physical attacks were ineffective, and it had high evasion against energy attacks.
So when they rushed at you in a frenzy, it was basically a certainty that you were dead!
However, although their skills were monstrous, their bodies were very fragile. As long as you could hit it with an energy attack, it would instantly turn to dust.
The appearance of occupied members of the Archangel camp at the tunnel entrance indicated that their main members were also in a desperate struggle.
If all the Archangel organization members and camp members in the entire city turned into puppets of the soul devourers, coupled with the soul devourers waiting to seize them...
Not to mention winning this battle, it would be difficult to even leave alive!
"Hah!"
Zhao Xiyue drew her Thousand Bone Blade and charged forward first.
Although the number of camp members on the opposite side was large, their strength was around that of a beginner evolver.
In a short while, Zhao Xiyue had killed them all and casually collected their corpses.
Zhang Chen controlled the soul devourers, keeping them about two meters away from him, and slowly walked out of the tunnel with the two women.
Only then did they get a clear view.
The sky outside was blood-red, covered with dense, dark-red ominous clouds.
Through the clouds, they could vaguely see a group of soul devourers, flying back and forth in the clouds like schools of fish.
Before long, hundreds of them emerged from the clouds in a single file, drew an arc in the sky, and then flew back into the clouds again.
"This is too exaggerated. This is the first time I've seen so many soul devourers... Let's leave quickly!"
Qian Xinxin's scalp tingled as she looked at the densely packed, incessantly roaming soul devourers.
Zhao Xiyue also frowned, but she remained silent, only looking at Zhang Chen.
"I want to try fighting them!"
Zhang Chen looked up at the sky and said.
"What?"
Qian Xinxin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Zhang Chen, I know you're strong, but this is the ultimate apocalypse!"
"If it were the previous oppressive apocalypse, then through your own efforts, you could indeed become invincible within the same stage."
"But the reason the ultimate apocalypse is called an apocalypse is that some monsters are unconquerable by humans!"
"If someone could really defeat all the monsters, would it still be called an apocalypse? Wouldn't humanity return to the top of the food chain then?"
"The most important thing in the ultimate apocalypse is to recognize your position in the food chain and not to be reckless. The seventh wall city is our goal!"
Qian Xinxin persuaded him earnestly.
"What about you? Do you think so too?"
Zhang Chen turned and asked Zhao Xiyue.
"I believe you can defeat these guys, and I support your decision!"
Zhao Xiyue said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going. You two stay here and be careful!"
After speaking, Zhang Chen immediately flew up into the sky.
At the same time, he gently waved his right hand, and his force field began to compress and collapse rapidly.
The controlled soul devourers screamed and turned into a mass of black mist, then transformed into white mist and slowly disappeared.
"What a lunatic. The ultimate apocalypse is not a place to show off!"
Qian Xinxin frowned, her face full of concern.
Turning, she looked at Zhao Xiyue, who also had a face full of concern, and said coldly:
"These monsters are so dangerous, and you're letting him go and take risks?"
"If you truly cared about him, you should make him recognize the horror of the apocalypse and live rationally, not just cater to his every whim!"
"While you might win his favor by doing this, it will ultimately harm him, understand?!"
"And have you even considered that if he dies, we two will also die here? The path behind us is cut off, and we have no retreat!"
Zhao Xiyue's gaze was fixed on Zhang Chen's figure in the sky, and then she said faintly:
"If anyone in this world can truly end the apocalypse, I believe it will be him!"
"Since we want to end the apocalypse, we naturally need the spirit and strength to end it. If we shrink back here, how can we achieve it?"
"Moreover... if Brother Chen dies, it means the apocalypse is truly unsolvable. In such a completely desperate world, what difference does it make whether I live one day longer or one day less?"
"You..." Qian Xinxin was rendered speechless by Zhao Xiyue's retort.
Is this Zhao Xiyue truly a pure and utterly foolish sweet girl?
No... there couldn't possibly be such a person in the world!
She must be an extremely cunning woman who doesn't easily reveal her true intentions, a formidable character!
It seems I've been too careless...
After all, for a strong person like Zhang Chen, countless women would want to cling to him.
But the women who could get close to Zhang Chen were few and far between. Just being pretty and having a good figure was far from enough; one also needed real skills. Zhao Xiyue was clearly a woman with such "real skills"!
I need to be more vigilant as well.
At this moment, Zhang Chen had already reached the vicinity of the clouds.
Strangely, these thousands upon thousands of soul devourers, which could easily occupy any survivor, were instead flying around Zhang Chen.
Wherever Zhang Chen went, they would make way, leaving a large vacuum zone around him.
It was as if they were afraid of touching him.
Zhang Chen suddenly accelerated and charged towards the dense swarm of soul devourers. However, the latter, like a school of fish encountering a shark, actively parted to create a gap again.
"So many soul devourers, and yet they can't occupy Zhang Chen?!"
Qian Xinxin was once again shocked.
She was a survivor who had experienced one cycle of reincarnation, the supreme leader of the black market, and thus was very knowledgeable.
However, since meeting Zhang Chen, all she had felt was shock...
"I knew Brother Chen would be fine!"
Zhao Xiyue said with a smile.
"Indeed, Zhang Chen is very strong. I was wrong before..."
Qian Xinxin said with a smile.
But inwardly, she was thinking, "What a schemer..."
At this moment, Zhang Chen in the sky suddenly spread his hands and waved them powerfully.
In an instant, all the soul devourers were frozen in mid-air, maintaining their previous flying posture.
Then, an invisible force began to pull them together, forming a massive black sphere.
This sphere gradually shrank, and the soul devourers within became more and more compressed. Some soul devourers' bodies became distorted by the tearing of the immense force.
Zhang Chen reached out and lightly touched the sphere.
A powerful meteor energy poured out instantly!
With a bang, the sphere exploded, and countless black spiritual remains scattered outwards, then turned into white mist and dissipated.
The immense energy impact also blasted a circular vacuum area in the clouds in the sky, and a ray of sunlight shone down, dyeing Zhang Chen's body a brilliant gold!
