Eye System

Chapter 174: True Power

Lex's fox beasts were yet to suffer any casualties, but were being pushed back and surrounded by the giant ant beasts, despite their strength surpassing most of the giant ant beasts, because of the sheer disparity in numbers.

However, with the new Internal Cultivation Attack Skill that the fox beasts, that had broken through into the Heaven Mortal Rank were capable of using, they were able to push back the giant ant beasts slightly and keep their distance, as they picked them off slowly.

But it was becoming increasingly difficult to do so as they were continuously pushed back and needing to dodge attacks from all directions and no matter how many beasts they defeated, there were always more right behind them, relentlessly attempting to take them down.

Just as the fox beasts began to be surrounded and the giant ant beasts were gaining the upper hand, their attack suddenly halted as they all turned around and rushed back towards where Lex was.

The fox beasts were confused and shocked by what was going on, but without hesitation, they chased after the giant ant beasts and began picking them off, which was made easier by them turning their backs and no longer caring about them.

"Hahaha, you think that by getting the rest of your little babies to come after me, you may have a chance of survival" mocked the Eye Demon ironically as he resided in Lex's body that was many times smaller than that of the giant ants.

Lex estimating his ability and power felt that he would have no chance against all the giant ant beasts at once, however looking that the Eye Demon that was in control of his body, it didn't seem fazed or intimidated by the enemy.

The numbers of the giant ant beasts didn't faze Evil Lex in the slightest as he launched himself into the air using his extremely powerful body that was overflowing with energy.

Fuelling the power of his fall using large amounts of energy, Lex crashed into the centre of the army of giant ant beasts that were charging towards him and crushed dozens of them with a single strike and caused a massive crater as everything around him was launched flying.

"This is true power" bellowed Evil Lex.

Lex observing the power that the Eye Demon was able to display with his body was shocked as he couldn't help but covet the abilities, skills, techniques and methods that the Eye Demon had.

Evil Lex emitted a burst of evil energy around him, and what shocked Lex was its unique properties.

It was destructive and explosive similar to fire energy, but it also had corrosive and poisinouse properties as all the giant ant beasts in the vicinity of Lex's body were decimated by the burst of evil energy.

In an instant, Evil Lex had taken out half of the giant ant beast tribe without even using much of his energy that was constantly being refilled by the rapid absorption of energy that the Third Eye caused.

With incredible speed that shocked even Lex himself, Evil Lex weaved between the giant ant beasts with ease as he decimated the giant ant beasts with a single strike.

His strength had surpassed anything that Lex had ever come across, as the Eye Demon showed Lex the true power that his body was capable of.

Suddenly Lex felt a similar sensation to that which he felt while using the Self-Cloning Eye as Evil Lex formed two clones that were all extremely powerful and equivalent to a peak Heavn Mortal in terms of power.

The Eye Demon was in control of the clones as the three of them decimated the entire giant ant beast army within seconds, using only a single strike to kill each giant ant beast.

Retracting his clones, Evil Lex left the 10 giant ant beasts guards, that were at the peak Heaven Mortal Rank, as he strolled towards them nonchalantly, with his body dripping in green beast blood.

The watching fox beasts were in awe of what they just saw and coulnd't help but fear and revere their master that seemed to completely change and become a monster as they continued to back away from the battle field, not wanting to be collateral damage.

"Over already, I thought at least I would be able to slaughter beasts for a minute. It seems I overestiamted your strength" mumbled Evil Lex to himself as he slowly approached the giant ant beasts guards and giant ant queen with an evil smile.

The giant ant queen instantly felt helpless against the monster that was approaching her and without anything else to lose, she rushed away from Lex and towards thr most central building which was behind her, while she ordered her giant ant beasts guards to attack Lex.

She knew they would be decimated by Lex with ease, but she wanted them to buy her enough time to collect the treasure within the centre of the Underground Coves then escape, knowing that she could rebuild and repopulate alone if she was able to survive.

"He, it doesn't matter how far you run, you will still die and your treasure will belong to me" scoffed the Eye Demon who had sensed the treasure, but didn' think much of and it didn't entice him.

However his greedy nature and his desire to cause as much despair to others as he could, made him want to take it from the giant ant queen before killing her, just to cause her more anger and despair before he killed her.

The 10 final giant ant beasts were all overwhelmed and enveloped by Lex's frightening demonic aura as they froze under his glare and didn't dare to attack him despite their queen's orders.

"Die" roared Evil Lex as he simply glared at each of the giant ant beasts.

Lex felt large amount of energy being suddenly used as he also felt an unexplainable sensation within his eyes, but suddenly the giant ant beasts that stood before him collapsed and died.

It was an incredible slight to behold as he retook control of his body from the Eye Demon that willingly returned the control and wasn't looking to pick a fight with Lex, as Lex headed after the giant ant queen to finish off his mission and acquire the treasure that she was in possession of.
