Chapter 648: Chapter 406: Thunderstrike Slash

The darkness didn’t affect Ji Xinghuo’s hunting of the Earth Devouring Worms; the night even provided certain cover, allowing him to hunt without restraint.

After sweeping through for an entire night, his Spiritual Origin Ability surged to 20,000 points!

With too many Alien Species, the sidebox of the flying motorcycle soon couldn’t hold any more. Ji Xinghuo had no choice but to discard some of the low-value and bulky Alien Species. Sometimes, he couldn’t be bothered to collect the Earth Devouring Worms that hadn’t even emerged from the ground before being killed.

He continued hunting the next day.

Immersed in the pleasant reaping, he ventured deeper into the Silent Wilderness, heading toward the west of the wasteland.

Not until the night of the third day, after he had wiped out the Earth Devouring Worms within a few dozen kilometers, did he stop to rest and reorganize.

He set up camp in the ruins.

His personal terminal kept warning that the ionizing radiation levels were very high, a remnant of a nuclear explosion over a thousand years ago.

This was very dangerous for ordinary people, but it didn’t affect Ji Xinghuo at all; just a bit of radiation, that’s all.

After eating, he cleaned himself up.

Ji Xinghuo let out Qing Hong and fed it some of its favorite food. Jiu You also emerged from the Supreme Dark Magic Ball to allow them to get to know each other and foster a bond.

But before long, the two War Pets started fighting, showing no signs of getting along.

"Damn!"

Ji Xinghuo shook his head helplessly, forcefully ordering them to separate.

Jiu You blended into the night to guard the campsite, while Qing Hong smugly Shrunk and crawled into the tent.

Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

He sat by the campfire, opening the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil.

[Spiritual Origin Ability: 53320]

This was the result of hunting Earth Devouring Worms for the past three days. Considering that he would soon gain even more Spiritual Origin Ability, there was no need to save up, so Ji Xinghuo decided to use it immediately to enhance his combat power.

Without hesitation, he invested it directly into "Electromagnetic Oscillation."

As his core Ability, the higher the level of Electromagnetic Oscillation, the better. Improving it could never be wrong.

The Ability progress skyrocketed!

Soon, Electromagnetic Oscillation reached (Fifth Level 53618/333331).

Ji Xinghuo clearly felt the changes within himself, with the most obvious being the range of electromagnetic induction, which expanded to a 30-kilometer radius, doubling in size, and the sensing area increasing fourfold. He immediately detected Earth Devouring Worms in the distance.

"With such a large sensing range, the efficiency of hunting Earth Devouring Worms can be even faster," Ji Xinghuo thought with delight.

Besides, the distance he could manipulate electromagnetic waves increased to around 430 meters.

Strength, speed, recovery—all abilities based on the electromagnetic field saw a significant boost.

"As expected..."

Ji Xinghuo was not surprised at all; Electromagnetic Oscillation was related to too many of his Abilities.

"Still short by 280,000."

Looking at the upgrade progress of Electromagnetic Oscillation, he eagerly anticipated the power it would have at the Sixth Level.

"The Silent Wilderness spans over 20 million square kilometers, about as large as North America. The Earth Devouring Worms I’ve killed in the past few days are just a drop in the bucket."

"At my current hunting efficiency, it should take about twenty more days to raise Electromagnetic Oscillation to the Sixth Level."

"Time for sleep, time for sleep!"

Ji Xinghuo entered the tent and lay down, but woke up in less than two hours.

After five evolutions, he was no longer an ordinary person and didn’t need long hours of sleep; two hours were more than enough to restore his physical and mental energy to their fullest, brimming with vitality.

He woke up while it was still dark.

But that didn’t matter. Ji Xinghuo quickly packed up the camp and jumped onto the Flying Motorcycle, heading straight for a few Earth Devouring Worms around twenty kilometers away.

By dawn, another 3,000-plus points of Spiritual Origin Ability were in hand, which he immediately invested in Electromagnetic Oscillation.

Three days later.

Ji Xinghuo had traveled over a thousand kilometers into the Silent Wilderness.

His progress slowed as he went, leaving a stretch over 30 kilometers wide in his wake, devoid of Earth Devouring Worms, wiped clean, not a single one left.

Initially, Ji Xinghuo worried that killing too many might draw attention from others to the abnormal distribution of the Earth Devouring Worms.

So he thought about changing locations now and then.

But he soon discovered that his concerns were unnecessary because, before long, other Earth Devouring Worms from elsewhere would fill the emptied areas and even consume the remains of those left on the ground.

Using this, Ji Xinghuo took advantage of the Earth Devouring Worm carcasses as bait, fiercely harvesting several waves of Spiritual Origin Ability.

Only when there were no more Earth Devouring Worms within a hundred kilometers did he leave.

However, all he had to do was wait a day or two and more Earth Devouring Worms from farther away would arrive; Ji Xinghuo didn’t have the patience to wait that long.

Bang!

An Earth Devouring Worm over seven meters long fell from the sky, splitting into two halves as it hit the ground. Qing Hong retracted its huge Sky Splitting Claw, Shrunk down, and ran back to Ji Xinghuo’s side.

[Spiritual Origin Ability +72]

Ji Xinghuo patted Qing Hong’s head.

Around him lay several Earth Devouring Worm carcasses, some bisected by Spiritual Energy Lightning, others peppered with holes from a High Energy Beam, or corroded beyond recognition, leaving only a pile of remnants.

Jiu You emerged from Invisibility, shifting into Ji Xinghuo’s likeness, and made a taunting face at Qing Hong.

"Roar!"

Qing Hong roared back in defiance.

Ji Xinghuo rushed to hold down its neck to prevent another fight.

Then he commanded Jiu You to return; it transformed into a wisp of darkness and descended into the Supreme Dark Magic Ball in his left eye.

In the past few days, he often let both War Pets out to take down the Earth Devouring Worms, preventing them from getting restless from being cooped up all the time and incidentally fostering some combat understanding between them.

Despite the significant improvement in their understanding, they would invariably fight each other as soon as the combat ended.
