Black Sharu. This was the name given to this eighth-level mutated zombie by people in the previous life, as its appearance resembled a character from a globally popular comic, only its heavy armor was black.
This type of zombie is a killing machine; they are agile, immensely strong, and their hands possess sharp claws, with diamond-shaped sharp angles at the joints. Their thick tails and sharp stingers are also quite intimidating, making their attacking methods very diverse. Additionally, their thick armor provides formidable defense.
Moreover, they possess powerful innate abilities, capable of both close and long-range attacks. The only downside is their absolute speed is not very fast, giving humans a slight chance to escape when encountering them.
Black Sharu is completely different from those imperfect eighth-level lives like the "powder ball" cultivated in the divine hall. This is a true natural evolved entity.
Under the same level of evolution, it is quite difficult for human evolvers to defeat Black Sharu. Even though Ye Zhongming has now become a seven-star evolver, equipped with gear and occupational skills far exceeding this level, if he were to face Black Sharu alone, he would likely end up fleeing in defeat.
This fellow’s true power might only be slightly weaker than that of an iron lock prisoner of the same level. Even before, Ye Zhongming never considered taking down this creature.
At this stage, for humans to defeat a complete eighth-level life, it requires occupying a geographical advantage, just like when they defeated the eighth-level corpse ape at Cloud Summit Villa—launching all their attacks before it could get close!
This also demands the attacking power of Cloud Summit, where magic crystal weapons and various city defense equipment are among humanity's finest!
Even so, because they needed to concentrate their power against the eighth-level corpse ape, several locations on the city wall were breached, resulting in an extremely heavy price—thousands of lives lost and nearly a quarter of the city defense equipment destroyed in that battle.
In that moment of desperation, Ye Zhongming fired the Shattered Soul Bone Staff at Black Sharu, purely instinctively aiming to strike the strongest opponent to gain more reaction time for himself.
However, after that massive beam of light, both the mutated life forms and the few humans present, as well as the soldiers on the city wall who could see this scene from afar, were all stunned.
That beam of light, originating from Ye Zhongming's Shattered Soul Bone Staff, swept across a distance of several hundred meters, crashing into the base of the Cloud Summit Villa wall!
With a diameter of over three meters, spanning hundreds of meters, not to mention the surrounding life forms that were dumbfounded, anyone who saw it would be shocked.
Moreover, this light and shadow effect was not the most terrifying part. When it reached the Cloud Summit wall, the beam directly carved out a large hole there!
Between this hole and the Shattered Soul Bone Staff, the beam plowed a vacuum zone!
Indeed, any life form on the path of this beam, except for that Black Sharu, completely vanished.
If Black Sharu had also disappeared, people might still speculate that the beam possessed teleportation capabilities, transporting the life forms along its path away. However, Black Sharu was still present, but… it was in a dire state.
At this moment, the eighth-level creature, its streamlined black outer shell, was riddled with holes from the impact, with numerous small holes leaking a viscous purple-red liquid. At the moment of the attack, the eighth-level life had protected its head with its hands, thus avoiding death, but its hands were already torn apart like a broken net. Even though it hadn’t lowered its arms, one could see its lifeless, ashen face through the countless tiny holes.
There, blood was streaming profusely.
Everyone could see that Black Sharu was heavily injured and on the brink of death!
