The progress bar continued to grow, and as time passed, its speed showed no signs of slowing down; in fact, the growth trend accelerated.
The reason for this was clear. As many Signal Points revealed their fear, the Acupoints were puzzled, unable to understand why their companions were afraid of a human. Especially since it was a Rank Six companion who was also frightened.
An anomalous entity differs from humans; its thought processes are direct, and it asks questions without hesitation. Immediately, the uninformed Acupoints sent inquiries to the fearful ones.
"Stay away from that terrifying human; he has serious issues. He is not human; he is a higher-level anomalous entity. We escaped from him. We previously mentioned that the terrifying human we encountered was him."
This last statement was conveyed in the language of the anomalous entity Acupoints. The other Acupoints suddenly understood the reason behind their companions' fear. This human who had arrived was indeed the one they dreaded.
Previously, they had seen their companions fleeing and had questioned why there was a terrifying human at Signal Point. The rumors spread among the Acupoints, and with Yelai exhibiting an unknown horror, he not only absorbed fear but also generated it, capturing a nearby Acupoint with his Sequence Power and directly unleashing Fear Plant.
As word spread and more Acupoints witnessed this firsthand, their fear grew exponentially.
"Why are you running? Come here!"
"You don't seem afraid of me? That won't do."
After saying this, Yelai raised his hand and unleashed Fear Plant. The Acupoint let out a scream of sheer terror, a sound so chilling that even the Sequence present could hear it clearly.
This was the first time they witnessed the Anomalous Entity emit a chilling, terrifying scream. Yelai felt it was still not enough.
His gaze swept across the surrounding Acupoint, landing on one particularly robust Acupoint. At that moment, he stood close to it, wearing a strange Cthulhu smile, and leaned in to whisper in its ear.
"You seem to radiate quite a bit of fear."
Without giving the Acupoint a chance to resist, he raised his hand and unleashed Fear Plant. Thus, Yelai continued to instill fear in the Acupoint while simultaneously eliminating those attempting to escape, aiding the Sequence Team in dealing with the Acupoint before them.
More and more Acupoint began to exude a scent of fear. The Progress Bar also surged rapidly.
When Yelai killed a Rank Six Acupoint, it was one that had learned the truth but sought to kill Yelai to elevate its own Rank. It collapsed with a thud.
Yelai then absorbed the surrounding scent of fear, and his Rank progress bar finally reached its goal. In that instant, it was as if he had been struck by lightning; his body jolted, and the Black Sequence Key began to slowly rotate in his mind.
Following this, ancient bronze portals appeared one after another. Like planets orbiting around the sun, they revolved around the Black Sequence Key. Upon closer inspection, six of these portals had opened.
At that moment, the seventh portal flew out and stopped before the Black Sequence Key.
The Black Sequence Key was slowly raised and inserted into the ancient lock of the door before him. The key turned. A heavy, muffled clicking sound echoed from the lock. The ancient door was opened by the Black Sequence Key. This was the gateway to Rank Seven. Its opening signified that Yelai's Rank had risen to Seven, and it also meant that Yelai had gained the Sequence power of Fear. In that moment.
