Withering Pulse!
The dark red energy beam contained the law of decay, and wherever it passed, the space rippled with gray and desolate energy.
"Spatial barrier!"
Activating his ability, Chen Yuan caused an invisible spatial distortion in front of him, deflecting the withering pulses onto the beast tide below, instantly clearing out a large area and corrupting the earth as well.
"Shadow Realm, open!"
In an instant, the light within a radius of several hundred meters suddenly dimmed, and Chen Yuan's figure quickly merged into the shadows, his speed increasing dramatically.
He instantly appeared on the flank of number 19, wielding the Molecular Disintegration Sword and slashing down fiercely.
"puff!"
One of the arms of Subject 19 was severed cleanly at the root, with a smooth cut.
But he didn't care at all; the granulation tissue at the cut surface wriggled wildly and regenerated instantly.
"It's no use. With the power of my lord, I am immortal. You cannot kill me."
……
Subject 19, a flower bud-headed humanoid monster, the master of the Withering Garden.
Rank: Peak of Rank 7.
The most successful humanoid Devourer in the Mana ecosystem, possessing extremely high intelligence and calm thinking, is the commander among the Calamity-class.
Subject 19 mastered three morphological changes.
First form, Gardener form:
Appearance: Tall and slender, humanoid, with pale skin.
The head is a tightly closed structure resembling a pale flower bud, with dozens of eye tumors constantly opening and closing, shimmering with a scarlet light on the surface of the bud. The fingers are slender, like flower branches with distinct joints.
The first form of ability.
Life Weaving: Ability to manipulate Mana flowers and active vines in the surrounding environment, weaving them into tough cages, sharp spears, or defensive barriers.
Mental Whispers: Release invisible mental ripples through the flower bud head to erode the target's will, causing hallucinations, fear, or even temporary mental control.
Source Essence Absorption: Allows direct extraction of life essence from a distance to replenish one's own consumption.
The second form is the blooming form.
The flower bud on the head fully bloomed, revealing a huge, molten ruby-like core eyeball at its center.
Dense, dark red energy patterns emerged beneath the pale skin, and behind it unfolded a wing membrane composed of energy, resembling tattered flower petals.
With this mindset, abilities will be enhanced in all aspects.
Withering Pulse: The core eyeball can emit dark red energy pulses containing the "withering" law, which can accelerate the decay of matter and the dissipation of energy, and has special effects on shields and armor.
Mental Storm: Releases a wide-ranging mental storm that can instantly cause mental collapse in those with weak minds, or even cause them to lose consciousness instantly.
The second form possesses high-speed regeneration, and non-fatal wounds can heal within seconds.
The third form, Return to Nothingness:
The energy wing membrane shattered completely and merged into the body, blurring the form as if it were composed of pure shadows and scarlet light.
In this state, the core eyeball of Experiment 19 floats in the shadows, like the only coordinate in the abyss.
Qualitative change in capabilities:
Return to the Void Domain: An absolute domain that can be expanded to a range of 100 meters. Within the domain, light, sound, and energy are all devoured and annihilated, greatly suppressing the enemy's perception and strength.
Existence erasure: In this form, the attack begins to have the "existence erasure" characteristic. The existence traces of the target who is completely killed by Number 19, including memories and records, will be interfered with and faded.
Only those at the peak of the same level who possess equivalent power of the laws can contend with it.
……
"Let's see how many times you can regenerate!"
In his left hand, Chen Yuan condensed nanoparticles into a multi-barreled electromagnetic gun, unleashing a dense storm of metal. In his right hand, a spatial blade silently condensed, ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.
The two engaged in a fierce battle high in the sky, and the shockwaves from their energy collisions continued to spread.
……
The second battlefield.
Bai Yuekui and Jinghui led Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and Erica to intercept Huan Tong.
The battlefield here is shrouded in bizarre illusions, sometimes icebergs and seas of fire, sometimes comrades turn against each other, making it hard to distinguish reality from fiction.
"Keep your mind focused, as the opponent's illusions can directly affect your senses."
Bai Yuekui spoke up to remind them, and the Tai Chi diagram energy core on Jingzhuhao's chest shone brightly, spreading a cool energy wave that temporarily stabilized the space within tens of meters around the team and dispelled the illusions in a small area.
“Found it!”
Master Jinghui's purification abilities extend to a realm where he can accurately pinpoint the location of his opponent.
Chapter 290 The Rotting Colossus
"Hehe... Foolish."
Huan Tong's singing voice immediately resonated in everyone's minds.
Feixue's energy cannon pierced through the figure, but hit nothing.
At the same time, Mo Cheng and Erica suddenly discovered that the other had turned into a ferocious Devouring Beast, and they almost started fighting each other.
"Mo Cheng, Erica, that's an illusion. Don't use your life essence to sense it."
Feixue's calm voice came through the squad channel. Her sniper rifle was constantly searching for Huan Tong's true form, and even with her willpower, she could only remain temporarily unaffected.
"Its core, single-eyed energy fluctuations cannot be completely hidden... behind that distorted cloud at the three o'clock position."
Bai Yuekui's eyes narrowed. "Master Jinghui, cover me!"
After saying that, Guiyuan Yi unleashed her full power, transforming into a holy white light that shot straight towards that location.
Time acceleration was activated, and Bai Yuekui's speed instantly increased several times. Jinghui used her domain to its fullest extent to resist the illusion mirror.
Just when everyone thought they could finally find the other's physical form, Bai Yuekui's sword strike merely revealed a phantom form. They didn't even realize they were all in a dream, wandering around with their eyes closed in reality. The Illusionary Eyes wove a dream that trapped them deep within it.
Illusionary Eyes.
Rank: Late Stage 7
First form, Songstress form:
It has a slender figure, covered with smooth, white jade-like carapace, and a single, enormous eye that radiates a rainbow of light, occupying most of its face. Its posture is elegant.
Abilities: Possesses powerful mental illusion abilities, creating hyper-realistic illusions covering several kilometers, altering the five senses, and even weaving dreams to make enemies sink into bliss until death.
Dying with a smile can sometimes be a kind of happiness.
Second form, Thousand-Eyed Demon form:
In this form, Huan Tong's elegant shape shattered, her body became slender and twisted, and countless eyes of different sizes opened beneath her white jade shell.
The single eye turned pure black, with a terrifying vortex in the center.
Ability: Illusion ability is upgraded to "Reality Interference", which can temporarily turn illusions into real attacks, such as an explosion in the imagination becoming a real explosion.
All eyes can simultaneously fire soul-screaming beams, directly attacking the soul.
The core ability, "Dream Parasite," allows the user to implant a mental seed when the enemy's mental defenses are at their weakest, transforming them into a puppet that obeys their commands.
The Illusionary Eyes can weave countless dreams, layer upon layer, and many people are deeply trapped in them. Very few are able to stay true to themselves and face their fears.
……
In the third battlefield, Chen Hao and the Gravekeeper led Sengge, Shanda, and Guayan to hunt down the Ripper.
The Ripper swung its six arms, unleashing shockwaves comparable to an earthquake. Seng's shield and the taciturn barrier lit up repeatedly as it struggled to withstand the attack.
"This guy's strength is simply outrageous. If he punches you, you'll probably die on the spot."
Shandong piloted the Chongxiao and took the brunt of Ripper's powerful punch head-on. The entire mech slid backward for over a hundred meters, carving deep trenches in the ground before finally managing to stop.
"We can't fight him head-on; we need to create an opportunity to kill him."
Chen Hao's Imperial Armor was imposing and powerful, and the Imperial Dragon Blade unleashed a huge golden blade of light, leaving traces of damage on the Ripper's bone armor, but failing to kill it with a single blow.
The taciturn gravedigger did not speak, but his eternal graveyard quietly enveloped the lower half of the Ripper.
The opponent's violent dark red energy noticeably slowed down within the domain, and subtle signs of decay appeared on the flesh and bone armor.
"efficient!"
Chen Hao's eyes lit up. "Gravekeeper, suppress it. Everyone else, attack with all your might. I'll create an opportunity for you."
"Roar!!!"
The Ripper let out a mocking laugh, its four arms on its back flailing wildly. It activated its Flesh Furnace ability, absorbing the remains of the surrounding Devouring Beasts into its body, and the injuries inflicted on it by the others began to heal rapidly.
"The Imperial Dragon Domain... Open!"
Chen Hao roared, unleashing the power of his domain to its limit, the immense gravity suppressing the Ripper.
With the gravedigger's abilities fully unleashed, the destructive power of the Eternal Night Graveyard has been amplified.
The Ripper.
Rank: Late Stage 7
First form: Slaughter Form.
It was a large, muscular creature covered in thick, dark red bony armor.
Its arms are two enormous bone blades that constantly drip corrosive slime, and its head is just a huge mouth covered with spiraling teeth.
Abilities: Pure strength and physical destruction; the bone blade can easily tear apart all known alloys, and its roar can produce dizzying sonic waves.
Second form, Beast form:
The body expanded further, and scorching steam seeped from the gaps in the bones and armor.
His back split open, and four extra arms made of bone and muscle extended out. Each arm ended in a different weapon: a hammer, a claw, a drill, and a whip.
