Chapter 1106: Rule Level Stance

His eyelid twitched; seeing the enormous Corpse Emperor the size of two or three football fields crawling out of the deep pit, Lin An, accustomed to mutants, also felt his heart sink.

At least 300 meters tall, its body was as large as several giant skyscrapers.

Such a huge monster, in his past life he had only heard of someone seeing it on the coast.

The larger the body, the stronger its vitality.

Even with my full-strength sword strike, counting the sword breath, I could probably only cut halfway in? If it were an ordinary third-stage cultivator, even exhausted to death they couldn't break through the skin.

Noticing the blood-colored shield the Corpse Emperor had propped up, Lin An's eyes narrowed, and he instantly realized this must be the Corpse Emperor's special ability.

But seeing the huge wound on the Corpse Emperor's body constantly writhing, blood spraying like a waterfall onto the ground, it was clear the nuclear explosion's power was not something easily endured.

Nevertheless, this still gave Lin An a jolt of shock.

Although I guessed the nuclear bomb might not kill the dead Corpse Emperor, that was considering the Corpse Emperor would flee; a third-stage peak's reaction would be enough to escape some distance. But in the detonation just now, I had already timed my strike perfectly. At such close range, Lin An was certain this was already the limit.

True Eye! Judgment!

He directly used two layers of detection means; soon, the shield's information appeared before Lin An's eyes.

「Rule Stance (False): The stance gains Body Defense effect, and when attacked, it simultaneously consumes Life Force and Spiritual Energy. Current Rule: Undying (Low Level), Technology Side Weakening (Mid Level, Constant)」

He blinked slightly, looking at the explanation given; even though Lin An was well-informed, he wasn't sure what this was.

Rule Stance? False?

Combined with the fact that the Corpse Emperor was about to advance to the fourth stage, Lin An could only guess this was an ability of the fourth stage.

An undying rule—could it be that it possesses the traits of an undying Asura?

Technology Side Weakening—Lin An easily understood this; every mutant has it.

So this blood-colored light shield is like a strengthened version of one's own Spiritual Energy Shield? Not only does it come with Body Defense, but it can also provide Rule Resistance.

A bit... troublesome...

Without giving Lin An time to think, the fully risen Corpse Emperor stepped with its giant feet, each stride crossing the entire district. I don't know if it's because she claimed to be a half-psychic mutant, but within just a few seconds, that huge eye the size of a pool instantly locked onto his position.

In extreme fury, the Corpse Emperor roared, and a tornado shockwave instantly swept across the district, suddenly attacking.

「Lin An!! 」

「I will kill you!! 」

Like an evil deity from myth. Lin An, standing aloft, compared to the Corpse Emperor the size of a mountain, was as tiny as an ant.

Feeling the Corpse Emperor's killing intent as tangible, Lin An hesitated not and turned to run.

The floating nuclear bomb he had set up was nearby; after precise calculations, they were all placed 33 kilometers around the amusement park. At this distance, even if affected by the nuclear explosion's fallout, it would not detonate prematurely.

We must pull it there! Before the shield is broken, any attack is meaningless!

Just as Lin An prepared to lure the Corpse Emperor into a full-speed charge toward the nuclear bomb, the next second, the Corpse Emperor that had been running at high speed suddenly accelerated.

「Boom-boom-boomboomboom!! 」

The speed grew faster and faster; in the extremely disorienting visual effect, the Corpse Emperor charging straight at him turned into a mere afterimage, its speed soaring to the extreme.

The ground collapsed in succession; the circles of delayed explosions bursting up from the surface exposed her trail.

Just like an earth dragon burrowing, one after another huge crater blown up by tremendous force shot up hundreds of meters into the air.

So fast!

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Almost as the Corpse Emperor accelerated, a sonic boom from pure bodily compression also rang out.

It's hard to imagine that such a massive body could actually maintain this speed.

A storm formed; facing the Corpse Emperor that could whip up a storm with every gesture, Lin An had no choice but to grit his teeth and accelerate desperately.

Damn! This monster actually could completely ignore wind pressure and airflow resistance!

He had thought the Corpse Emperor was fast, but its form would have to stay human-sized. Yet he never expected that, even at this size, the Corpse Emperor could still obtain such monstrous movement speed!

However, the distance between them was only about seven or eight kilometers.

In just a little over a second, Lin An, who hadn't run very far, felt a sense of suffocation closing in from all directions.

The intangible pressure felt like a ten-thousand-meter deep sea, freezing the entire space in place.

This is...

In an instant, the Corpse Emperor reappearing on his retina had already teleported behind him; that giant hand, almost like a heavenly step, covered his entire field of vision and instantly closed and clenched.

「I will... crush your brain!! 」

Having been toyed with by Lin An, the enraged Corpse Emperor completely lost its previous elegance, howling like a wild beast.

Feeling the near-imprisoning terrifying power, Lin An took a deep breath, his heart heavy.

Always having been faster than others, upon first encountering a monster whose speed crushed his own, Lin An helplessly discovered he simply couldn't outrun it.

If caught, even the underworld probably couldn't withstand it...

Unable to understand why there was such a huge gap between third-stage peak and high level, Lin An, out of options, repeatedly activated Blink, trying to directly blink out of the giant palm.

The halo unfolded, and within it, the Death God Halo of the Descent Domain flashed white light.

Within a second, after two quick Blinks, Lin An instantly appeared far away, then turned and fled headlong.

He dared not stop.

Facing the Corpse Emperor at such close range, Lin An's heaviness of heart was greater than before. He had thought even if he clashed at the outset he could hold on for a while, but he never expected the strength gap to be this large..

This Corpse Emperor is probably no longer a third-stage peak, but rather infinitely close to a false fourth stage!

"Whoosh!!"

Tearing wind, breaking the sky.

At full flight, Lin An had barely flown a distance when the aura behind him approached again.

As expected, the Corpse Emperor, faster than him, had already crossed the Blink distance, then struck again with a palm, directly blocking his path forward.

I see you... how many more times can you still dodge!

He gave a wicked grin, toying.

Watching Lin An, who could only flee like a worm under his own pursuit, the Corpse Emperor's ferocious face was full of satisfaction.

She had originally planned to turn Lin An into a Mutant for her to absorb, but she never expected that this worm would pretend to believe and then trick her!

But it doesn't matter.

With absolute overwhelming power, she has plenty of time to be worn down by this worm.

In her eyes, Lin An's abilities are all as clear as glass! The only troublesome Blink skill has only eight uses left! At most a dozen seconds, and she can crush this damned worm into mush!

White light burst forth.

After using Blink again to dodge the attack, Lin An let out a bitter smile.

He estimates that by the time he reaches the floating nuclear bomb area, his Blink skill will have at most two uses left. Once detonated, if he wants to escape the blast zone, he probably won't have even one use left.

The psionic nuclear bombs and the last few high-yield ones can't be used as a finishing move.

In the next nuclear blast, he'll use them all at once!

His gaze hardened; he can only bet that Chu An's psionic nuclear bomb can briefly break the technological side rules, forcing the remaining nuclear blast power to slam into this monster's body!

If he can't break this defense, even if he triggers mutation, he probably won't last long!
