Chapter 1385: Alien Species - Global Riot

Boom! »

「Boom!! 」

Continuous sonic booms stretched across the horizon.

Compared to Earth, in the skies of the alien species world with even thicker cloud layers, the clouds ripped open by explosive speed left sharp traces as if cut.

Large numbers of alien species on the ground, unaware, looked up in terror at the sky.

Although many third-stage beings had flown by consecutively not long ago, this time it was actually a Dominion-level being personally leading the team.

Such a shocking scene instantly frightened all alien species on this continent.

「Whoosh-Boom! 」

Low-altitude flight.

As they approached the approximate range outlined by the Annihilation Overlord, a Dominion-level alien species unleashed its pressure without restraint, its massive body sweeping across the sky above a gathering place like a cloud covering the sun.

Heedless of the low-stage alien species crushed to death by his aura, he merely quickly sensed the area and then flew off again.

Nothing abnormal, just a swarm of ants...

Simple, violent, sparing no cost.

As alien species that have endured centuries of apocalyptic disasters, efficient and unconditional execution of orders has been etched into their bones.

Almost as soon as Lin An hid, or rather a few minutes after the Annihilator issued the order, all third- and fourth-stage alien species on the entire continent instantly formed a great net, and with thunderous force, ruthlessly cast a net to search the whole area.

Using pressure instead of mental scan!

Even if such a brutal search indiscriminately kills many low-stage alien species, to the Overlord it is all worthwhile!

They clearly knew that Lin An could hide, could conceal himself, even hide within a gathering of his own kind!

But as long as the pressure sweeps over, any creature wishing to resist will expose its aura! As soon as they sense Lin An's aura, they can quickly reinforce and overwhelm him with absolute superiority!

「Overlord... are we really... still needing to investigate the past like this.. 」

Following behind the Dominion-level alien species, a third-stage peak alien species tremblingly asked in a low voice.

He dared not question such a brutal search method.

But ahead, that's a huge expanse of volcano!

Flying over like this... once it triggers a volcanic eruption, it will inevitably destroy this area's...

Just the search is fine; dying a swath of alien species is just their bad luck for being on the search route.

But if the whole area is destroyed, that would be permanent!

Although the specific range given by the Annihilation Overlord isn't large, it's still enough for tens of millions of alien species to survive!

In such a harsh survival environment, a piece of intact land is more important than population!

「Bang! 」

He turned his head.

In an instant, the light shot from this Overlord's eyes instantly shattered his brain.

His cold vertical pupils swept over the vast multitude of terrified third-stage alien species behind him, and his black scales spoke without emotion.

「Sweep past, detonate the volcano! 」

「If Lin An is here, then force him out! 」

There was no extra talk, only extreme cold rationality.

Compared to these lower alien species, since the Annihilator has issued an indiscriminate search order, any loss is bearable!

What's destroying an area?

After the Annihilator Overlord reported to the Elder Council, now over ten million third-stage beings are rushing from all continents!

Moreover, vast numbers of fourth-stage beings have been deployed!

If viewed from near-earth orbit, one can clearly see a net of heaven and earth, gathering in an extremely frenzied posture toward this continent!

Just from this gathering, the losses from the forced abandonment of their death battle ground defense line amount to hundreds of millions!

To put it bluntly, to capture Lin An they would even be willing to shatter this continent!

Lin An himself probably never imagined that a civilization that had endured centuries of apocalypse and, to survive, had launched multiple ethnic wars...

When facing a true enemy, just how far would they go into madness?

That is an all-out, no-expense-spared mobilization of the civilization's machine!

Sweet-smelling blood drifted on his face with the wind; behind the Overlord, large numbers of intimidated third-stage alien species gulped in unison, daring not to speak further.

A few seconds later, as the Dominion-level alien species personally acted, this volcano that had lain dormant for a time was actually detonated by their own hands.

Amid the sky-filling erupting lava, his black scales coldly gazed at the molten rock beneath his feet, then swiftly flew away after a few seconds.

No abnormalities.

Three hours later, inside the underground cavern.

Lin An, who had been meditating with closed eyes to digest the Rule Fragments, suddenly opened his eyes; in an instant, a vast amount of mental power pressed tightly against the ground.

Condensed into a line, within just a few hundredths of a second he sensed the faint tremor coming from a hundred meters away.

A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

Although geological disasters frequently occur in the alien species world, merely staying here he had already sensed several slight tremors.

But those previous ones were extremely distant, merely seismic waves.

This time...

「Too close... 」

「Is it a normal earthquake or something? 」

He strove to sense the surrounding situation.

Although his mental scan detected no abnormality for the moment, for some reason his sixth sense keenly perceived a strong unease welling up from his heart.

It's as if something highly dangerous is approaching him.

"Have I been discovered? Or has an alien species searched this?"

He sprang to his feet; in an instant, a flash of unease and sternness crossed Lin An's eyes.

He still had a full four hours to finish digesting the fragments.

If an alien species comes to search now, it would mean he must leave here.

If it were an ordinary fourth or third stage, the pressure it would exert on him wouldn't be this great.

Unable to determine, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Is it an illusion... or is there truly an unknown danger approaching?

The place he has chosen to hide now has already been carefully selected.

Changing to another place would inevitably waste him a lot of time. Moreover, the movement process is when he is most likely to expose himself.

"Leave... or..."

Repeatedly shifting the search direction, Lin An strained to sense his surroundings.

Relying on rule fragments to forcibly advance to mid-fourth stage, the difficulty is far greater than he had anticipated.

Especially the initial absorption, the efficiency is extremely slow.

Up to now, he has exchanged twenty-seven fragments and absorbed twenty-six.

With the temporary interruption, his progress is as if it were interrupted; he must start over again.

Feeling slightly irritated, just as Lin An hesitated but still decided to leave, the next second a crystal-clear vibration swept swiftly from low altitude.

Unlike a material attack, under the covering pressure, Lin An felt as if an intangible stance swept over him!

"Boom!"

The ground above his head slightly caved in.

Wave after wave of vibrations transmitted, causing the rubble above his head to continually fall.

In an instant, Lin An's heart jolted violently!

Damn it!

The speed of this pressure was so great that he didn't even have time to mobilize the eternal rules to conceal himself!

To reduce consumption, he has never activated the rules!

At the same time, within the limits of his spiritual perception, Lin An instantly sensed the aura of over seven hundred third-stage alien species, and...

Overlord!

It seems to have mastered some special rule; this alien species of Dominion-level that constantly relies on pressure to cover its search also suddenly froze.

Within the pressure he released, there was actually a barely perceptible resistance just now!

This area is empty, but anyone who could instinctively counter under his pressure could only be a fourth stage.

"Lin An!?"

Without any hesitation, realizing there was an anomaly, the black-scaled face flashed with ecstasy, and without hesitation he again erupted a massive pressure, like a giant hammer smashing toward the anomalous direction!

If it's confirmed to be Lin An, within at most a minute the surrounding fourth stages could all encircle him!

And the Annihilation Overlord is also nearby!

"Boom!!!"

As if substantive pressure violently smashed down, in an instant a black shadow, as if forced out, shot away at great speed in the opposite direction.

Watching the black shadow blasted out from the sky-full of rubble, the black-scaled icy vertical pupils instantly filled with ecstasy.

"This form!? This is not an alien species recorded in the records!"

"Being able to stay hidden in this area, and upon seeing me immediately flee..."

"Lin An!! It's Lin An!"

He is the Lin An that the entire alien species world must kill!!

"Kill!!!"

"Assemble!!!! All fourth stages gather!! I've found Lin An!!!"

The ecstatic communication echoed throughout the entire alien species world.

In an instant, all alien species rapidly flying within the planet's atmosphere simultaneously burst into acceleration, as if mad, rushing toward the coordinates reported by the black-scaled one.
