Chapter 193: This thing is actually a Taotie!

This sound seems to hide some strange power.

It feels to people as if worms are burrowing into their ears and gnawing at their brains.

They suffer unbearably, unable to live, unable to die.

The bell's influence covers an extremely wide area.

Its penetrative power is extremely strong.

Even the common folk of the Dragon Nation continent watching the battle were affected.

On the streets, everywhere are people covering their heads and shouting.

Fortunately, Dragon Nation's technology is advanced; many facilities are already intelligently controlled.

Otherwise,

the whole city would be paralyzed.

Cars, high-speed trains, aircraft, deep-sea warships, and floating battleships would collide with each other, losses incalculable.

Just as all Dragon Nation people were suffering unbearably,

a dignified dragon's roar sounded,

"Get lost!"

Just a single word.

Yet it contains boundless power.

That eerie bell sound almost vanished in an instant.

The Dragon Nation people who had regained their senses looked toward the direction of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum and all bowed in salute.

In space.

Mo Yi covered his head, his expression twisted.

The two order administrators furrowed their brows slightly,

"So it's a technique that uses sound waves to interfere with the opponent's mind—quite interesting."

"Too bad their strength isn't enough; they couldn't unleash the full power of this move."

Yi hao casually waved, and an invisible protective circle surrounded her and Er hao, blocking the deafening bell from outside.

The Mysterious Judge somehow found a chair, sat leisurely watching the show, completely unaffected.

On the spaceship, Zhang Cheng heard the bell and his face darkened.

It wasn't because the bell caused him any actual harm,

but rather…

"This damned sound, how is it so like the work bell from my old company!"

"I really want to rush out and tear that guy to pieces!"

Zhang Cheng is usually calm, but this time he's really furious.

Speaking of the bell's impact on the soul.

Impact?

Is there really an impact?

Could it not be purely designed to annoy people?

Seeing Mo Yi's pained expression, Zhang Cheng finally nodded and admitted that this thing indeed can cause some disturbance.

On-site situation:

The Dragon Nation spectators on Earth were unaffected.

Zhang Cheng on the spaceship was safe and sound.

The two order administrators were likewise unharmed.

The Mysterious Judge also seemed fine.

Only Mo Yi was in a bad state.

In less than half an hour,

Mo Yi became the sole victim!

On the whole battlefield, he suffered the worst injuries!

"The method of attacking the mind is still quite effective."

"Too bad, you're just too weak!"

Kelinda's whip in her hand instantly turned into a long sword.

Preparing to spread her wings, beneath her feet gathered a strong whirlwind.

Whoosh!

She transformed into a purple-black beam of light.

At extreme speed she rushed straight toward the flower-shaped monster.

As she approached, Kelinda swiftly wielded her sword, chopping and slashing continuously, her movements flowing like clouds and water.

The flower-shaped monster, huge like a small sun, cracked open all over with countless fissures.

Boom!

Accompanied by a burst of blood-red mist, the monster's life came to an end.

Kelinda clearly saw its face full of shock and incomprehension.

It seemed to be asking,

"I haven't even announced my name, and you just killed me like this?"

"How can I be just a minor boss!"

This way of dying is a bit too pathetic, isn't it!

But those thoughts are already too late to express.

The flower‑shaped monster fell quickly, unable to withstand Kelinda's fierce onslaught.

However…

The story is far from over.

When that massive creature died,

the tremendous energy hidden within it instantly erupted out of control.

The surrounding temperature surged rapidly, space itself warped. Some meteoroids floating in outer space melted under the intense heat.

Suddenly, a blinding white flash burst from its corpse.

Then—

Boom!

A deafening explosion roared, and a massive energy wave swept outward, annihilating every celestial body within billions of kilometers.

Even the nearest Mars trembled violently under the wave, seeming on the brink of disintegration.

Fortunately, the Protectors intervened in time, saving the planet.

"Damn, the combined energy of the three major planets released far more power than anticipated."

"The destructive force of this disaster is almost comparable to a supernova."

"Resolving it without a single scratch is virtually impossible."

The first Order Guardian furrowed his brows tightly.

His deputy sighed, "Alas, there's no choice; we must seek external aid."

"With such an energy wave, any minor slip could bring us fatal danger."

Not only the administrators, even the brave and battle‑hardened Kelinda grew a little flustered.

"If an impact of this magnitude is mishandled, the Solar System could face total annihilation!"

Hearing this, Mo Yi's body shivered sharply, and he urgently asked, "Sister, is there any way to stop this disaster?"

"This is the boss's hometown."

Which boss?

What boss?

Kelinda was completely confused,

"What boss? Have you lost your mind?"

"Moreover, facing this level of energy dispersion risk, even my own safety is hard to guarantee."

"Leave here quickly, get onto the Assassin Star's ship; we can still retreat now."

Even Kelinda found the situation extremely tricky.

It's impossible to ensure everyone remains completely unharmed!

Unless a super‑powerful creature appears.

Not only must it surpass a star‑collapsing level, it must also be at least two tiers stronger than that.

But that said,

does such a being exist on the blue planet?

Zhang Cheng shook his head, "In the end, we must rely on ourselves to protect our home."

"Sister Xiao Dian…"

Before the words finished,

a bizarre‑looking thing shot out of the cabin with a whoosh.

The freak had a sheep's body, a human face, and a pair of eyes under its arms.

Its sharp fangs and claws resembled human hands.

While flying, it muttered in a tiny, infant‑like voice,

"Starving… starving… I'm so hungry…"

"Delicious… I want to eat something delicious…"

Its strange cry caught the attention of the maintainers.

They turned back and saw a streak of light flash by.

It was way too fast!

"What is that! It feels extremely evil!" Kelinda's heart jolted, her eyes locked onto the figure.

At the same time.

The Dragon Nation crowd also found the thing oddly familiar, as if they'd seen it before…

What could it be…

"Heavens!"

"Isn't this the legendary Taotie!!!"

What… Taotie?

It turned out to be a Taotie!

It charged straight toward the explosion's core—planning to devour all the energy??

Sure enough!

The next moment.

The ferocious monster used its massive body to enter the explosion's core region.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The taotie, its mouth ravenously agape, opened its huge jaws and began to absorb!

Everyone's face was full of astonishment.

How could this be possible...

Can such terrifying energy be devoured?

Wouldn't its stomach burst from being stretched!

"Is this Old Zhang releasing it to help?" the deputy officer looked at Zhang Cheng with a doubtful face.

The chief officer glared at her: "Always doubting others' strength."

"Since it was decided to release it, they must be confident!"

In fact.

At this moment, even Zhang Cheng himself was bewildered.

Because the taotie simply came of its own accord after smelling the scent!

But…

As long as the taotie acts,

even the biggest trouble can be resolved.

Just hope it can fill the long‑hungry baby.

At that moment,

All eyes focused on that creature that devours everything.

Its mouth slightly opened, and a massive black‑hole vortex appeared.

Everything around was drawn in, even the shattered stones could not escape.

"Whoa!"

"What an astonishing absorption rate! At this pace, it should be completely drained in no more than half an hour!"

The order keepers were dumbfounded.

Five minutes later...

The entire crisis vanished completely.

"Uh~"

The taotie, its belly full, sat in the universe.

One hand rested on its bulging stomach, letting out a long belch.

But soon, its expression shifted from satisfaction to displeasure.

The belly that was just swollen immediately deflated.

"Uh…"

"Not full, not full, hungry~"

The people around wore shocked faces.

Is it real?

Not full yet?

How big must your stomach be!

"I've been the Mysterious Judge for so long, the last time I saw someone eat this much was back then."

"But that was a star‑sky giant beast, a higher race in the cosmos; any of its moves can destroy a planet."

"But this little fellow…"

The Mysterious Judge's gaze at the taotie carried a hint of seriousness and caution.

His intuition told him.

This little fellow is an extremely dangerous being!

If it keeps growing without anyone to discipline it,

it might eat an entire planet for a meal, and if it gets worse, even whole star systems won't be spared!

"This is absurd!" the Mysterious Judge inhaled a breath of cold air.

Even the well‑versed order maintainers

had faces full of shock.

"So that's how the crisis was solved?"

"The explosion we couldn't resolve together was actually swallowed whole by that little fellow?"

Er hao rubbed his eyes vigorously, his expression dazed, hardly daring to believe that everything before him was real.

Compared to her astonishment,

Yi hao appeared much calmer, "I knew it; Dragon Nation isn't that simple."

All along this journey,

Dragon Nation repeatedly shattered their understanding.

Yi hao's attitude shifted from initial doubt to anticipation toward Dragon Nation.

She hopes that one day she can witness Dragon Nation's mighty wonders shine across the universe.

"The final battle is over."

"Lan Xing Rebirth War ends here. Next..." the Mysterious Judge's voice suddenly stopped.

A transparent puzzle piece appeared on Zhang Cheng's chest, and the panel before him opened automatically.

【Psychological Horror — Completion: 100%】

【Body Terror — Completeness: 100%】

【Rule Terror — Completeness: 100%】

【Faith Terror — Completeness: 100%】

【Evolution Terror — Completeness: 100%】

【Power of Terror complete.】

【Lan Xing… revives!】

As the last line of text on the panel vanished,

the sky above Lan Xing was covered with dense dark clouds, shrouding the entire world.

Purple lightning covered the horizon like extending vines, and fierce winds swept across the mountains and rivers, letting out a howling sound.

Just then!

On the earth.

A colossal phantom city rose from the ground, its ancient, deep gates filled with a scent of decay between the brick cracks.

A ray of light broke through the thick cloud layer, forming a black-hole-like vortex in the sky as lightning scattered in all directions.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

A moment later.

A bridge built of bluestone extended downward infinitely from the void; the surrounding storm slowly weakened, revealing rows of bluestone.

A bridge leading to the sky had thus appeared!

In an instant, a powerful and mysterious force permeated all of Lan Xing.
