In particular, it has dealt a devastating blow to pan-evolving venomous beasts such as snake dogs and spiny eels, which are numerous but relatively fragile.
The beast tide's offensive was momentarily halted!
At the same time, the Hope, with its accumulated energy and the assistance of the Genesis Matrix, unleashed a massive area-of-effect energy shockwave.
This energy wave was harmless to humans, but it was like a strong acid splash to the Devouring Beasts that relied on Scarlet Intent and Negative Life Essence. A large number of low-level Devouring Beasts were directly disintegrated under the impact of the energy wave.
With this shift in power, the pressure on the human defenses has been greatly reduced.
Although the Devouring Beast Tide is still enormous, its surging momentum has been completely contained.
……
The 1th battlefield.
The battle continues.
Above the heavens, spatial rifts, like scars on the world, continue to pour out crimson beast tides.
However, a strange vacuum zone has formed in this core airspace.
Only two figures hovered and faced each other, their figures colliding and creating waves of air.
Subject 19, with its bud-shaped head, had dozens of eye tumors staring coldly at Chen Yuan, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Although I do not know how you mastered this technological power, before the great power of our Lord you are nothing but a snowflake thrown into boiling water, destined to perish."
The mental fluctuations from the 19th carried a condescending, judgmental tone.
Chen Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "You talk too much nonsense. Once I smash that pretentious head of yours, you'll know whether it's snowflakes or not. I think you've got water in your brain."
Number 19 said no more, and its slender, flower-like fingers gently touched the ground.
Life is woven!
Below, countless enormous mana flower vines, like living pythons, burst forth from the earth and coiled towards Chen Yuan in the sky at supersonic speeds.
These vines not only contain immense power, but also carry scarlet pigment that erodes energy shields.
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, bursting out with dazzling blue light. His speed instantly broke through Mach 10 and was still increasing rapidly. He weaved through the gaps in the vines, and nanoparticles surged in his right arm.
"Pulse Condensation Cannon, rapid-fire mode!"
Tsk tsk tsk!
Several dark red, high-energy beams, each as thick as an arm, were precisely fired, striking the tips and roots of the vines.
The vines that were hit were instantly charred, broken, and lost their vitality.
"Trying to be clever won't work."
Number 19's mental fluctuations carried a hint of disdain, and the flower bud on his head slightly opened a crack.
"Withering Pulse".
A beam of energy, more condensed than before and almost black in color, shot out silently. The space it passed through left a lingering gray trace, as if even "existence" itself had been corroded.
A warning bell rang in Chen Yuan's mind; he couldn't take this attack head-on.
Space teleportation!
His body blurred in place for a moment, and then reappeared a hundred meters away.
The space where it was originally suspended seemed to have been erased by an eraser, leaving behind a brief, unsettling black spot of nothingness.
"Can you dodge it once, but do you dodge it countless times?"
The whispers of Number 19 were like a bone-deep infection. He raised his hands, and dozens of withering pulses, like rain of death, wove together a vast net that covered the sky, enveloping Chen Yuan entirely.
Chen Yuan's pupils contracted as he pushed his mobility to the limit, his speed of Mach 25 transforming him into a constantly leaping streak of light, darting through the gaps in the web of death.
At the same time, he condensed nanoparticles into a rhombus-shaped energy shield in his left hand, occasionally using it to deflect the edges of pulses that he couldn't completely avoid. With each contact, a large chunk of energy on the shield would be eroded away, and the nanoparticles' repair speed could hardly keep up with the consumption. The opponent's strength was indeed greater than he had imagined.
Chapter 296 Deep Dive into Dreams
"We can't just go on the defensive."
With a fierce determination, Chen Yuan dodged several times at the last second before suddenly locking onto Number 19's true form.
"Shadow Realm, open!"
Centered on him, the light within a radius of several hundred meters was suddenly swallowed up, turning into a deep darkness, and even the faint light emanating from Number 19 dimmed a bit.
In this area, Chen Yuan's speed and stealth were greatly enhanced.
"Shadow Travel!"
His figure blended into the shadows, and the next moment, Chen Yuan emerged from Number 19's own shadow.
"Spatial Blade...Multiple Slashes!"
His right hand, fingers joined like a knife, condensed into an invisible and intangible spatial blade, powerful enough to cut through any metal, the strongest blade currently available, carrying a sharpness capable of tearing through everything, and slashed towards the slender neck of Experiment Subject Nineteen.
This is a perfect combination of shadow and spatial abilities, a truly lethal strike.
However, all the eye tumors on Flower Bud No. 19's head turned towards Chen Yuan at the same moment, and an immense spiritual power suddenly erupted.
"Spiritual storm!"
It was not an illusion, but a pure mental shock that materialized and crashed down like a tsunami.
Chen Yuan felt as if his brain had been pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, his consciousness went almost blank for a moment, and the trajectory of the spatial blade he slashed also deviated fatally.
The spatial blade failed to strike its opponent.
"Not bad attack, but unfortunately, you can't reach me. It's all in vain," Subject 19 said sarcastically.
Chen Yuan endured the excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart, and retreated rapidly, his face somewhat pale.
The opponent's strength, especially their unpredictable mental attacks, exceeded his expectations.
However, the nano-core quickly eliminated this negative effect, and Chen Yuan returned to normal.
"Warm-up is over, human."
Number 19's mental state suddenly became incredibly solemn and cold. "Let me show you what... true power is."
After speaking, the pale flower bud on her head, which had been tightly closed, slowly bloomed.
A chilling pressure spread out like a tangible tide, freezing the crimson sky beneath it.
First form, bloom!
The flower bud fully opened, revealing a huge, molten ruby-like core eyeball at its center, reflecting the decay of all things.
Beneath No. 19's pale skin, dense dark red energy patterns emerged, like cracked porcelain.
Behind him, a tattered yet magnificent wing membrane composed of pure decaying energy suddenly unfolded, and his aura instantly stabilized and climbed from the late stage of the seventh rank to the peak of the seventh rank.
"Feel the decay!"
That core eyeball locked onto Chen Yuan.
"Withering Pulse - Flood Wave!"
This time it wasn't a single pulse, but a continuous torrent of dark red energy, over five meters in diameter, rushing towards Chen Yuan like a waterfall from the River Styx.
Feeling threatened, Chen Yuan frantically activated his power core, pushing his speed to the limit of Mach 25, and performed unpredictable high-speed maneuvers in the air.
At the same time, he used both hands.
"Spatial barrier!"
Nanocore bursts forth, armor-piercing barrage, all projectiles launched!
Invisible spatial distortion barriers unfolded layer by layer in front of him, deflecting and weakening the torrent of decay.
At the same time, nanoparticles on his back and shoulders coalesced into dozens of launch nests, and swarms of armor-piercing projectiles shot towards the torrent, dispersing it with continuous explosive energy.
However, in the face of absolute laws, current technological attacks appear so powerless.
Bang bang bang!
The space barrier shattered layer by layer like fragile glass. The nano armor-piercing projectiles were annihilated into the most basic particles the moment they came into contact with the decaying torrent, and even the explosion failed to fully form.
The speed of the desolate torrent far exceeded Chen Yuan's mobility, and it was about to completely engulf his figure.
"no solution anymore……"
A resolute glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, "The only option is..."
Within his body, the immense life essence originating from the Seed of Origin began to burn wildly.
An explosion stems from potential, burning with life.
A powerful force far exceeding that of usual instantly filled his body, and the dark blue patterns on the nanosuit turned into a blazing white-gold color.
"Dual domains overlap, activate!!"
boom!
Centered on Chen Yuan, the Shadow Domain and the Micro-Space Folding Domain were forcibly merged and rapidly expanded.
Within the realm, not only was the light dim, but the space itself also became viscous and chaotic.
The surging torrent of decay visibly slowed down the moment it entered this double-layered domain, and was dispersed into several thinner streams of energy that weakly brushed past Chen Yuan.
"what?"
For the first time, the core eyeball, which had remained calm and still on the 19th, showed an emotional fluctuation called "surprise".
"It's really fun."
This human was able to forcibly combine two power domains at the cost of burning his life force, temporarily resisting his withering law.
At the center of the dual domains, platinum energy burned around Chen Yuan like flames.
He slowly raised his hand, and nanoparticles condensed in his palm. They were no longer in the form of a specific weapon, but rather a continuously collapsing energy ball that shimmered with spatial lightning, containing a violent shadow power within.
Chen Yuan stared directly at the enormous core eyeball, his voice coming through the mask with an almost manic calm: "Now it's my turn to attack."
……
The 2th battlefield.
The battle here has completely turned into a place where consciousness and reality are distorted.
