Section 443: Deadly... the Bewilderment of Blood-Red Eyes

How could it be him?

If Heck hadn't confirmed it, Blood-Red Eyes would hardly have believed his ears. [-]~~ Pluto Dirk... the most powerful man during the Great Chaos... wasn't he already dead? So much time has passed; even his remains would have turned to dust. How could he appear on that strange planet and deliver such a fierce blow to Heck? \u003cUnclear thoughts.\u003e

But Heck merely twitched the corner of his mouth and continued.

"I know what you're thinking. I thought the same at first. But after I escaped, I realized it wasn't Pluto's main body at all. It might just be a remnant of his spirit, left on that planet through some mysterious means, to protect the civilization there."

"It's a pity that Clodier was ultimately destroyed, and that shifting dimension turned into a dead zone. His efforts were in vain."

Speaking of which, Heck sighed regretfully, lamenting, "What a great warrior... Even across such a long time, he was still so powerful. His spirit ignored distance, and his will traversed space-time. Could this be the strongest power in the universe? An undying spirit, an unyielding will?"

"It's truly... awe-inspiring just to think about. Not being able to live in the same era as him is our regret."

Heck's voice lowered, and his gaze became lost, as if he were piercing through the space-time of the universe, seeing Pluto Dirk's magnificent bearing. It was the first time Blood-Red Eyes had seen him reveal such a longing expression.

But thinking about it, it was normal. After all, Heck was also a genius warrior. He had reached the Planetary level at such a young age, attracting the attention of countless people, enjoying their awe and envy. So, when he encountered another genius, he would naturally have thoughts of comparison.

Of course, he was still far behind Pluto Dirk. But Pluto's strength wasn't developed in a day; he also had a growth process. Heck believed that he would reach that day as well.

To hate not being under the same starry sky. Heck's feelings contained so much regret, so much pride. Perhaps only Blood-Red Eyes could understand it.

"What happened later?" Blood-Red Eyes suddenly spoke, interrupting Heck's thoughts. "What happened after that?"

"Later?" Heck smiled slightly. "Later, we were all driven out. When we got outside, we found that Adam and the others were the same. Everyone was in a miserable state. Besides us, there were two Demon-Armored bastards; no one else escaped."

"Afterward, I asked them, and they had indeed encountered attacks from mysterious enemies. It's just that I encountered Pluto. Adam encountered a tyrannical and overbearing enemy. According to his perception, this enemy was incredibly mighty and didn't resort to sneak attacks, but directly crushed him head-on. Adam fought back fiercely, but he couldn't even last a breath. He suffered even more severe injuries than I did."

Another remnant of spirit?

Blood-Red Eyes was shocked, then vaguely felt that the enemy Adam encountered seemed familiar. Mighty and overbearing, a frontal assault. This... wasn't this Leia's style? Could the enemy he encountered have been Leia?

Thinking about it carefully, it was very possible. But another question arose. As far as Blood-Red Eyes knew, Leia and Pluto Dirk were already the peak figures of Clodier. So who did the other two Demon-Armored warriors encounter? Could there have been other powerful warriors of the same caliber as Leia and Pluto in Clodier at that time?

It was chilling just to think about...

Blood-Red Eyes pondered silently, feeling a surge of emotion. With his adventures, the civilization of Clodier was unveiling its mysterious veil to him. But every glimpse of it surprised and shocked Blood-Red Eyes. He found it hard to imagine how powerful Clodier was at its peak, and how such a terrifying civilization could have been destroyed. He also didn't know what awaited him if he gradually inherited the legacy of this civilization...

The room fell silent. For a time, both of them lost interest in talking, silently thinking about their own matters. After a while, Blood-Red Eyes spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Then, Master, you are now..."

"I came to see you," Heck replied. "And then I'm going to find Adam. I originally planned to catch up with you and check on your progress. You surprised me greatly... Kid, I didn't expect that in just a few months, you'd grow to the point where you could pose a threat to me. If I hadn't stopped that last attack, you would have caught me, right?"

"............" Blood-Red Eyes didn't answer but acknowledged it.

In fact, Heck had simplified it. If he hadn't stopped that attack at the time, Blood-Red Eyes' next attack wouldn't have been as simple as catching him. Its ferocity would have been something that even a Meteor-level might not have been able to withstand. As for Planetary-level... that would only be known after fighting.

However, this was the very thing that Blood-Red Eyes deeply feared about Planetary-level warriors: their ability to grasp the overall situation was too outstanding, and they had the powerful support of mental and thought power, making it difficult for Blood-Red Eyes to attack their main bodies. This was a fatal blow to Blood-Red Eyes, who specialized in close combat.

"Hmm... wait, I feel something's not right."

Just then, Heck suddenly frowned and looked at Blood-Red Eyes again, his eyes thoughtful. "Your power... the level has changed... This isn't Comet-level... it's... Meteor-level?"

"Let me see."

As he spoke, Heck released a wisp of thought power and came to Blood-Red Eyes' body. With just one touch, his whole body trembled, and his eyes revealed shock.

"How could this be... your body... this rate of metabolism... the burning mass..."

"What... what exactly did you encounter?!"

"You see it too," Blood-Red Eyes revealed a wry smile. He knew he couldn't hide it from Heck, so he said bluntly, "I experienced some things, um... consider it a sudden awakening. I entered the Meteor-level, but something went wrong in the process. My metabolism is far beyond normal... so..."

"This isn't a problem of metabolism..." Heck interrupted Blood-Red Eyes, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety. "This is the burning mass of life force! Your burning effect is ten times that of a normal person! Do you know what this means? No matter how strong your body is, your life will end quickly!"

"Damn it, why is this happening! You're practically committing suicide!"

"Master..." Looking at Heck's slightly anxious expression, Blood-Red Eyes was slightly moved. It was the first time he had seen Heck anxious. He usually had a lazy look at all times, but at this moment, his expression made Blood-Red Eyes feel warmth.

It was a pity that he couldn't change it anymore. Since entering the Meteor-level, he had been burning himself every minute and every second, leading his life to its end. Blood-Red Eyes didn't know how much longer he could last, but he knew that this time would definitely not exceed a year.

This was the deadline given to him by the Bandage Merchant... no, Leia.

"This won't do." Heck stood up and released his thought power again to observe Blood-Red Eyes, checking as he spoke. "Although the most important thing in the Meteor-level is the burning mass, your burning like this is killing yourself. You don't have enough preparation. If you let yourself burn like this, I'm afraid you'll die before even touching the Planetary energy level. We must do something."

"Planetary energy level?" Blood-Red Eyes was surprised, hearing this term for the first time.

The newest novel is first published at Six Nine Book Bar!

"It's the energy law that Planetary-level warriors must comprehend," Heck replied without looking up. "It's also the standard for entering the Planetary level. It's an inexplicable power structure, different for everyone. Only warriors who comprehend the Planetary energy level can break through the death shackles of the Meteor-level and enter a new stage of evolution."

"In fact, the Meteor-level is such a process, using the burning of life force to increase the evolver's energy level, giving them a chance to touch the power structure of the Planetary level. If the evolver seizes the opportunity and turns it into their own comprehension, they can break through the shackles. But if the evolver's life force is completely burned out in this process, they will completely fall."

"The burning mass is key in this process. Only with enough burning mass can the evolver touch the higher-level Planetary energy level, and the probability of comprehension is greater. But..."

"But like this, even if you feel the Planetary energy level now, where will you find the time to comprehend it?"

Speaking of which, Heck's tone was extremely anxious. Sweat appeared on his forehead. He carefully examined Blood-Red Eyes' body, but the more he checked, the paler his face became, and he finally sat back in the chair weakly.

"It's... irreversible..."

"I know." Looking at Heck's disappointed expression, Blood-Red Eyes seemed very calm, as if the person approaching death wasn't him.

"You know?"

"Yes, I knew it from the beginning," Blood-Red Eyes nodded, picked up his glass, and took a sip, indescribably lazy and decadent. This was also the first time he had shown such an expression in front of Heck.

"But what I've been thinking about lately isn't this, but other things."

"Hmm... other things?" Heck frowned and carefully sized up Blood-Red Eyes. "Are you crazy? What other things are you thinking about at this time? Why aren't you cultivating immediately? Do you know how precious time is for you now?"

"I know," Blood-Red Eyes replied, still unmoved. "But if I don't consider these things... I won't have the motivation to continue cultivating. Sometimes I even wonder, what am I working so hard to cultivate for? Just to die a little later?"

"Or, to enjoy better?"

"But if that's the case, why should I bother to evolve? Wouldn't it be better to stop at the Comet level?"

"I can't figure it out."

Blood-Red Eyes ended with this sentence, but a trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

Yes, this was his biggest problem now. Not the burning of life force, not the approach of death, and not the exciting power of the Meteor-level, but...

He had no motivation.
