Chapter 1399

"Here, is this the battlefield of death?"

Instant judgment, stay vigilant.

While always ready to launch an attack, Lin An, upon regaining consciousness, quickly observed his surroundings. But after seeing everything before him clearly, he couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

No enemies, no signs of life.

All he saw before him was an endless abyss.

His position was in midair.

Looking up, there was a dim, blood‑red scorching sun that illuminated the whole world.

Looking down, there was a huge abyss so deep the bottom couldn't be seen, like an endless maw that swallowed even light.

Straining to look toward the bottom, Lin An could barely see some remains resembling white bones, highly desiccated.

But the distance was truly too great; he couldn't tell at once whether those were Alien Species corpses or human.

However, judging by size, they should be Alien Species?

Looking ahead, about three hundred kilometers away lay a pitted, desolate plain.

Blackish things, not quite mountains but still huge, were scattered across it.

"This space... is astonishingly huge..."

He quickly looked around.

In his view, Lin An found no sign of any war fortification.

According to the information provided by Luo Si, since this is the battlefield of death, there must be a place where both sides' forces gather. Not seeing it now only shows that this battlefield is too vast, so vast that the area where he randomly appeared is a non‑core zone.

"Ding, current scene: battlefield of death."

"Regional rule restriction: to leave this scene, one must provide a kill value equal to ten times one's own level; otherwise escape is impossible."

"Current strength assessment: Fourth Stage Initial, identity:???"

Just as Lin An was about to fly toward the largest black peak, a slightly delayed system prompt suddenly sounded.

Huh?

"Rule restriction?"

"Kill ten times one's own target? Is this the rule of the battlefield of death?"

"It sounds like it was artificially set?"

He raised his head, Lin An gazed thoughtfully at the whole expanse, and instantly realized that behind the battlefield of death likely lay some super‑powerful expert who had forcibly remade this place, turning a dungeon‑like space into its current form.

"Is it a joint transformation by Alien Species and mutated humans, or the work of a single side?"

His heart sank slightly.

Relying on this detail, Lin An actually faintly 'saw' the shadows of the strongest combat power of both races.

To be able to forcibly alter a region's rules and fix them within the Fei Yi Shijie—such power is simply terrifying.

Is this the power of a Fourth Stage Peak? Or perhaps some special privilege was used?

Unable to determine the exact situation, Lin An, based only on clues, had to be even more vigilant.

The strongest of the Alien Species side should be the Alien Species Sovereign.

They are still on Earth, which he doesn't worry about. But that doesn't mean there aren't comparable powerhouses inside the battlefield of death.

Judging by the intensity of the slaughter between Alien Species and mutated humans, the Alien Species power here is absolutely far greater than outside.

Lin An clearly remembers encountering a very strong Alien Species in the outside world.

Inside, they will only be stronger!

Lowering his altitude and suppressing his suspicions, Lin An simply went to search for traces of mutated humans.

Since this place looks like a non‑core zone, he'd better find an area where fighting is underway, then help the mutated humans kill the Alien Species before revealing his identity.

That way, at least he can tell the mutated humans that he is also an enemy of the Alien Species.

But just as Lin An lowered his altitude before reaching the plain, a extremely faint rule fluctuation suddenly came from the southwest.

All he saw at the horizon was a sky‑piercing pillar of light; just looking at its intensity, it was enough for a massive nuclear‑blast explosion.

Huh!?

There's a battle!?

Judging by the battle's intensity, at least Fourth Stage Intermediate!?

Without hesitation, Lin An's eyes lit up; he decisively accelerated toward the direction the rule came from.

He had been worried he couldn't find either side!

If they fought, he might even snag a bargain!

Thirty seconds later.

"Boom!!!! Boom!!!!"

The deafening explosion sounded like the world's base tone, accompanied by violent energy rampaging across the land.

All he saw in the extreme light and heat were three Alien Species displaying their true bodies at Fourth Stage, desperately attacking the monster before them.

Strands of condensed rule power manifested various effects, instantly tearing the earth apart; the continually expanding shockwaves howled around like a storm.

But!?

After cautiously approaching to the limit of his spiritual sense perception, Lin An looked somewhat bewildered at the battle before him.

It was completely unlike what he had imagined.

He had thought this battle was between mutated humans and Alien Species, but what appeared before his eyes were two huge monsters far larger than a hundred‑meter Alien Species.

Standing nearly four hundred meters tall, comparable to a hundred‑meter Fourth Stage Alien Species, this monster, its body covered in huge tumors, was using brute strength to strike at high speed, like an iron‑wall giant, brutally mauling a nearby Alien Species.

As if bearing the withered rule head‑on, it endured layer after layer of gray ripples, allowing the withered rule to corrode its flesh into powder.

This super‑mutant, whose size resembled an ocean liner, clung tightly to the tail of the Alien Species Overlord, pounding out punch after punch at high speed.

Skin and flesh rotted, bones shattered.

Even with the defense rule activated, the captured Dominion-level Alien Species that could not escape could only let out a miserable scream; his rule could only guarantee that he could greatly reduce the opponent's force damage and even become immune to piercing attacks lower than his level.

But under pure force bombardment, his own rule seemed like a layer of iron armor, striking his body.

It was as if a hydraulic press repeatedly smashed down violently; although his body surface appeared to remain intact, his internal flesh was about to be turned into minced meat.

This kind of being shaken to death made him almost go crazy.

Ahhhhh!!!

In desperation, he could only continuously activate his withering rule, attempting to directly age this monster to death.

However, its vitality was astonishing; despite enduring his attack that could kill a Fourth Stage initial in an extremely short time, the giant monster holding him merely relied on its terrifying regenerative ability to withstand it.

Boom—whoosh

Hidden in the distance, Lin An's solemn eyes instantly reflected a scarlet-red light pillar.

He could roughly feel that the power of this light pillar definitely had the strength of a Fourth Stage intermediate, resembling an intensified attack like a positron cannon.

But just like the Alien Species that was caught and bombarded, this one continuously spewed out a Fourth Stage Alien Species positron cannon from its mouth; at this moment it seemed like a small snake spitting flames, utterly unable to inflict any damage on the other monster.

Flesh charred, stinking.

Only saw another giant monster covered head to toe in eyeballs, currently biting down fiercely on the Alien Species trapped within the light pillar.

Creak—creak

One after another, the grating gnawing sounds rang out, as if gnawing on rules, making listeners feel chilled.

Watching the two monsters relying solely on physical strength to resist the attacks of three Alien Species, Lin An's heart was filled with shock.

He could feel that these two monsters hardly had any spiritual energy, or at most their strength was at the Fourth Stage initial level.

Yet relying purely on physical strength, they actually pressed and beat the Alien Species that used rules.

"At least six hundred points..."

"Wanting to still inflict damage while withstanding the weakening of rules, one must break through six hundred points of strength!"

"No... perhaps seven hundred points or even higher!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin An stared fixedly at the battle before him.

He also had six hundred points of strength, but relying solely on strength to suppress a Fourth Stage intermediate was utterly impossible.

He had instantly killed the two previous Alien Species relying on electromagnetic rule and spacetime superposition. Truly, if he used only strength, he could at best barely match them.

Rules are like a bulletproof vest, greatly reducing damage when facing any non-rule attack.

When encountering a countering attack, it can even achieve complete immunity!

But it is obvious that these two monsters, relying solely on basic attributes, inflicted only about 10% damage yet almost caused the three Alien Species to collapse!

Such physical strength is simply exaggerated to an absurd degree.

However, upon close observation, Lin An did notice some clues.

"These two monsters, each of their attacks seems to also carry rule power? But... very faint, very faint.."

"Moreover, it appears to be some kind of canceling property?"

"No consumption, no breaking the opponent's rule. Just in each of one's own attacks, momentarily weakening the opponent's rule?"

Unable to understand what this strange ability is, but Lin An can think of it as each attack being like armor-piercing, only a one-time thing, and in order to achieve the effect of breaking rules, this rule power fundamentally cannot destroy the "bulletproof vest (rule)".

Seeing the three Alien Species about to be unable to hold on and wanting to flee, Lin An suppressed his various doubts and prepared to directly strike and kill.

Although he wasn't entirely clear what these two monsters were or how they ended up fighting alongside the Alien Species.

But for him, securing the points first is more important than anything!

He could see that although these two monsters' physiques were terrifying, besides the one that was caught and would die, the other two could still escape.

Kill first, talk later!

After killing them, if these two monsters attack him, he also has confidence he can escape!
