My Talent Skill Mutated

Zhuge Qingfeng: "..."

’You really know how to comfort someone!’

’You could’ve just said I suck...’

’Do I suck?!’

’Well... compared to these guys, maybe not, but I’m actually pretty strong on my own...’

After comforting himself with that thought, the tension in Zhuge Qingfeng’s expression eased considerably.

"Brother Yu, why don’t you give it a try?" Maya asked, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu’s gaze fell upon the stone statue.

Zhuge Qingfeng’s repeated attacks had been useless. There was definitely something wrong with this statue.

Chen Yu stepped forward, amplifying his Force Field as the Qi in his body gathered in his fist.

He leaped into the air, veins bulging on his arm.

WHOOSH—!

The wind howled as his fist tore through the air, smashing into the statue’s chest with immense Divine Power.

The moment he made contact with the statue, Chen Yu immediately sensed that something was wrong.

It was as if something inside the statue was absorbing his power.

The immense force of his punch was completely drained by whatever was within the statue.

"VMMMM—!!"

In an instant, the light emanating from the statue grew incredibly intense.

"Heh heh..."

"Great Emperor, you sealed me away for so long. Now, I am finally coming out."

"Hahahahaha!!!"

A voice suddenly echoed from within the stone statue.

A terrifying aura seeped out, blanketing the pyramid.

Unbridled laughter reverberated inside the pyramid.

The group’s expressions turned to shock.

"SWOOSH—!"

Chen Yu’s figure instantly retreated.

The four of them fixed their gazes on the statue.

The statue was shrouded in a brilliant light, and a torrential wave of life erupted from it like a dormant volcano.

Their faces grew grim. None of them had expected that something was actually sealed inside this statue.

And a living being, at that!

Their power had activated the sealed life form.

’Great Emperor?!’

’Was the thing inside this statue sealed by that Great Emperor?!’

’Is it good or evil?!’

Chen Yu was filled with shock and uncertainty.

’Judging from the records on the paper from the castle yesterday, the Great Emperor of this world should be extremely evil—a standard-issue villain.’

’Something targeted by a villain isn’t necessarily a good guy, but they’re definitely on opposing sides.’

Right now, he couldn’t determine which side the sealed entity belonged to.

"CRACK~!!"

The brilliant light enveloped the statue, and soon, a crack appeared on its surface.

Immediately, the crack spread, spiderwebbing across the entire statue.

"BOOM!!"

With a loud bang, the statue completely crumbled, and the light swept through the space inside the pyramid.

As they stared, a humanoid life form with a pair of wings appeared within the light.

Its hair was disheveled!

Powerful Life Fluctuations permeated the air.

It was a level-eight life form, but it was far stronger than any ordinary level-eight being. In fact, its Life Fluctuations felt a good thirty percent stronger than even the Flame Demon Spirit’s.

The feeling was so intense that Chen Yu suspected even a Level 9 Mutant Beast wasn’t this formidable.

"Hahahahaha, Great Emperor, you never would have guessed, but I’m out again!!!"

The unbridled laughter echoed within the pyramid.

The laughter was utterly wild!

The powerful aura radiating from its body pulsed, and everyone felt immense pressure.

An overwhelming presence!

This intimidating pressure was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary level-nine being.

Although its aura of life only fluctuated at the peak of level eight, its presence far surpassed that level.

A special life form, possessing strength far beyond its cultivation level!

The Flame Demon Spirit was a prime example!

Such beings couldn’t be measured by normal standards.

Watching this Angel-like humanoid, Chen Yu and the others raised their guard.

"Brother Yu, this guy is seriously strong!"

Maya said with a grim expression.

Chen Yu said nothing, his eyes fixed on this "birdman"!

For some reason, looking at this "birdman" filled him with a strong sense of revulsion.

He felt an urge to eliminate it as quickly as possible.

An overwhelming desire to kill this thing!

It was an instinctive reaction from the depths of his soul!

But this was clearly their first meeting.

Chen Yu had never felt this way before, not even toward Mutant Beasts or other Alien Races.

"You are the ones who saved me. Very good. To show my gratitude, I will absorb your Life Force and, carrying that Life Force with me, roam the universe."

The birdman looked over, a "kindly" smile on its face.

The group’s faces stiffened.

’This bastard is a pure, unadulterated arch-fiend!’

"Hm?"

When the birdman’s gaze fell on Chen Yu, intense killing intent surfaced in its eyes.

"You’re just like that Great Emperor. That face of yours... is truly detestable!"

The birdman’s gaze was ice-cold. The moment the words left its mouth, it vanished.

In an instant, it reappeared in front of Chen Yu.

"Don’t worry, I’ll grind your bones to dust. It’s your own fault for looking just like the Great Emperor..."

The haunting voice whispered, reaching Chen Yu’s ears.

An unremarkable-looking fist shot directly toward him.

BOOM!!!

With a deafening roar, the pyramid, over a kilometer tall, disintegrated, and a high-pressure shockwave swept out for over a hundred kilometers.

The heavens collapsed and the earth split asunder!

A mushroom cloud surged into the sky.

Waves of destruction swallowed everything in all directions like a tsunami!

"PFFT—!"

Several figures were sent flying thousands of meters away, all spitting out a mouthful of blood in unison.

It was Zhuge Qingfeng and the other two!

Only Chen Yu was nowhere to be seen!

The three of them looked horrified. The birdman’s power was beyond their imagination.

Even though the attack had been aimed at Chen Yu, the spreading shockwave of destruction still roiled their internal organs and made them spew blood!

In the center of the destruction, two figures appeared.

It was Chen Yu and the birdman!

After that one clash, even Chen Yu’s physical body could barely withstand the impact.

"You’re not dead..."

The birdman looked at Chen Yu, a hint of surprise in its eyes.

"You lowly human, let’s see how many more you can block!" the birdman’s cold voice rang out as it instantly moved again.

SWISH—!

Chen Yu broke the sound barrier, dodging the birdman’s attack in a flash of lightning.
