But that was indeed the case.

Ever since Wang Zhan arrived, it only took five minutes for the monster to completely fall silent. As for the turning point in all this, only Wang Zhan, who was sitting right there, knew the full story! Oh no, perhaps a mad man should also be included.

Because, within Wang Zhan's mental world, the monster was continuously wailing, "No... spare me! Wang Zhan! Spare me!!..."

Wang Zhan, however, was expressionlessly recuperating, his mental energy relentlessly churning in his mind, completely ignoring the monster's pleas for mercy. Even under the amplification of essence energy, his mental energy began to grow increasingly robust, its power skyrocketing, suddenly doubling. This made suppressing the monster much more effortless.

Meanwhile, within his mental domain, the mad man, listening to the monster's pleas for mercy, was cackling with schadenfreude. "Weren't you acting all high and mighty? Continue doing that! Boy, HEH HEH HEH... I remember you; you almost killed me once. When you also become a domain spirit, I'll definitely make you pay..."

After all, becoming a domain spirit meant starting everything from scratch, at most retaining some degree of spirit. If they wanted to become powerful, their only reliance would be the refinement and support provided by the main body to the domain, so the mad man wasn't wrong. Once the monster truly became a domain spirit, its days of suffering would begin!

However, the monster seemed oblivious to the mad man's words and continued to beg Wang Zhan for mercy in an utterly subservient manner. "Please spare me, spare me! Mr. Wang Zhan, spare this dog's life! Whatever you want me to do in the future, I will do it. If you let me live, I will live, and I will never dare to offend you again..." His words were filled with unbearable suffering. Most importantly, it was the monster's will. At this moment, it was as if Wang Zhan had shrouded it with a layer of endless pain, causing its qi to grow weaker and weaker.

But at this moment, Wang Zhan remained silent. The reason was simple: the more critical the moment, the more urgent the situation appeared, and consequently, it required even greater caution. Therefore, Wang Zhan was still on guard. On one hand, he was continuously having the System extract the monster's spirit, bit by bit, from its head. On the other hand, he kept most of his alertness concealed. On the surface, he projected an image of having formidable mental energy, yet its actual potency appeared limited. After all, even if Wang Zhan only displayed mental energy of 20,000 or 30,000 points, he would be considered a prodigious talent within the Martial King rank. This presentation would naturally seem plausible.

Otherwise, with the amplification bonus from essence energy, the total of Wang Zhan's mental energy attributes would be at least over 200,000. Moreover, the most crucial thing was that Wang Zhan could perceive a transformation originating from his mental energy. The source of all these transformations was the amplification from essence energy! Wang Zhan might have already adapted to such changes and surprises, but for the monster, it was enough to make it utterly lose heart. As a result, Wang Zhan's instigation and probing became meaningless.

Of course, dealing with the monster was only a minor concern for Wang Zhan. More importantly, he could hardly stop himself from thinking, Could it be that after advancing to the realm above Martial King, even if one's Talent is poor and one's strength is weak, as long as one can grow slowly under the influence of such enhancement, one will only become stronger and never enter a period of decline?

This point was crucial for Wang Zhan. It determined the tactics he should adopt when potentially facing the power of the Martial Emperor level in the future. If his assumption about the certainty of essence energy's amplification was correct, then he was confident. The next time he encountered a Martial Emperor, unless he had to fight to the death, it would be best to run as far away as possible! Because the existence of essence energy was far more terrifying than any elixir. This led Wang Zhan to become even more convinced that essence energy had become his second most guarded secret after the System, something he absolutely could not reveal!

As for those Martial Artists who had gone mad and were fighting relentlessly, hoping to be the first to leave the Ming State Underground City, Wang Zhan had seen everything clearly from start to finish. However, the corner of his mouth curled up somewhat cruelly; he felt no compassion. Since they had entered the trap and become captives, there was no reason for them to be allowed to leave. Moreover, they were part of Wang Zhan's plan. Without this cover, Wang Zhan would truly be in danger.

Because, according to Wang Zhan's perception at this very moment, the entire surface of Ming State City and the exit of the Ming State Underground City was now teeming with people! Soldiers of the Federation! Without these various noble families, Wang Zhan was sure that he himself would be the first to bear the brunt.

At this moment, the monster, on the verge of completely losing connection with its head, finally erupted. "I'm going to kill you!!..." It didn't dare to wait any longer; the longer it waited, the slimmer its hopes became. It was better to go all out and fight Wang Zhan!

Therefore, with a loud BOOM, a gust of wind suddenly swirled around Wang Zhan. Although there was no dust, it still rustled the hair at his temples. Then, a ferocious spirit, invisible to anyone else, suddenly appeared in Wang Zhan's mental world. It was a monster, snarling and baring its teeth. Even having regained its spirit and the ability to trace its origin, it didn't look human at all; at best, it looked marginally less hideous than its original monstrous form. Because it actually had three arms, four legs, and six eyes.

At a glance, those whose minds weren't particularly strong might even suspect it to be a monstrous hybrid of a human and a beast! Is it still human? Because, to be more precise, the monster at this time actually looked more like a goblin.

But even when Wang Zhan saw it, he remained unmoved. After all, he had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time. However, upon truly seeing the monster's bizarre appearance, Wang Zhan's eyes suddenly turned profoundly cold. The surrounding air, which had seemed ready to surge, was instantly frozen by this chilling aura, frozen to an almost deathly silence!

Is this... a hybrid, or... a mutation of the Human Race? After seeing the monster's true form, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Zhan's mind, yet there wasn't a hint of joy from the imminent victory. Because he had discovered that the monster itself was a monster, born that way. Although it had indeed undergone Genetic Modification later, the primary mutation stemmed from its innate genes.

Thus, in terms of the monster's genetic type and birth, this was definitely one of the darkest conspiracies within the Human Race Federation! It could even be considered a crime, a crime that nearly trampled upon the entire ethical and moral baseline of the Federation, a crime deserving of ten thousand deaths! Ironically, this kind of conspiracy, even though Wang Zhan now possessed strength comparable to a high-level Martial King, still loomed impenetrably over him.

Thus, Wang Zhan was truly enraged! His facial expression became increasingly ferocious, his eyes filled with a fierce and bloodthirsty aura. "No matter who is responsible! I, Wang Zhan, swear to the heavens that one day, I will make you suffer this same misfortune, and then I will personally send you to your deaths!..."

Without a doubt, this monster should have been one of his clan members, a member of the Human Race, not this nondescript goblin before his eyes... So, Wang Zhan's disgust and hatred for the masterminds behind the scenes grew stronger and more intense, igniting a boundless fury deep within his heart.

Afterward, fortunately or unfortunately, the monster became the outlet for Wang Zhan's wrath. It was forcefully suppressed by his mountain-like mental energy, instantly severing all connections between the monster and its head, then forcibly dragging it into his domain.

"No!..."

Immediately after, only the monster's final defiant roar echoed, then faded into the last sound of its life.

At this moment, there was no longer a freakish monster that lived like a Demon in the world. But now, hidden within Wang Zhan's domain, there was a new entity: a fearsome deity, almost like the legendary three-headed, six-armed figures! Regrettably, this Deity had lost all freedom from the moment it became a Deity. Because, it had silently gained a master. That man was called Wang Zhan!

Just as Wang Zhan was making the monster his subordinate, binding its life completely to his own, a HUM resonated! In Wang Zhan's mental world, it seemed that some unknown change had occurred.

Afterward, on Wang Zhan's System Panel, the data attributes suddenly showed new changes:

Host: Wang Zhan

Domain: 2 (2/3)

Essence Energy: 17,741-

Limit: 0

Strength: 11,400

Agility: 11,400

Physique: 11,400

Charm: 480

Wisdom: 600

Mental Power: 787,150+

Immediately, Wang Zhan felt as if a bolt of thunder had exploded in his mind, and his nostrils felt slightly moist. Then, he instantly heard the agonized groans and roars of the mad man and the monster from within his domain.

"Wang Zhan! What the hell did you do... Why do I feel so bloated!!..." the mad man roared. He felt as if his body was about to explode. An endless surge of mental power was violently pouring into his being, threatening to burst him open.

As for the monster, it was even weaker. Although it was a monster, in essence, aside from its horrifying exterior, it was just a ruthless member of the original organization, nowhere near as innately mad as the madman. Furthermore, having been tortured by Wang Zhan for a lengthy period, it was now nearly at a dead-end, unable to even maintain consciousness. As a result, the moment the drastic change occurred, it immediately began moaning in pain and then abruptly fainted. This, at least, spared Wang Zhan from hearing more noise; an unknowing observer might have even thought the monster fainted out of devotion to its new master!
