Chapter 1422: Aberrant Lands

How long until the remaining General-rank arrive!

At the center of the fiercest battlefield, a general who had bitten an alien species to death in one gulp asked the mutants behind him, his words muffled.

Thanks to their extremely strong defense and regenerative abilities, the rule-based attacks launched by these alien species could only nauseate him a bit, yet even after fighting until now, he still maintained peak combat power.

It merely seemed they held a huge advantage; if they kept fighting, they would surely wear out this batch of alien species.

But he felt only irritation, wishing he could break out of the encirclement right now.

Dragging it out, the trouble isn't the large number of fourth-stage forces arriving, nor is it a king-rank!

But... Lin An!

After so much time, the traces Lin An left have long been worn away by the power of repeated rule eruptions!

The ground beneath their feet had long been blasted into half a canyon!

Unable to sense Lin An's aura, the only thing he could be certain of was that Lin An was still alive!

But if they dragged it out, who knew whether Lin An would accidentally run into the high-level alien species coming to reinforce? By then, their costly charge would become a joke!

"Thirteen minutes! Supreme General!"

"These alien species also know we're gathering forces! So they've set up intercepting legions at every point bordering this area!"

"The general-rank rushed from other war hubs have almost all been tied down!"

Covered in baby-like small mouths, the dense sounds resonated into ripples, instantly killing several fourth-stage alien species beneath its feet.

Another hulking mutant, resembling a battlefield messenger, likewise responded in a low, urgent tone.

The two races have fought for so long that the alien species know their every move even with eyes closed.

Thus, as the battle hinted at erupting into its utmost intensity, the highly intelligent alien species instantly anticipated their every move.

Thus, in less than half an hour, this operation to ambush and chase down Lin An suddenly turned into a grueling large-scale battle!

Hearing his subordinate's report, the general couldn't help but let out a low roar, his eyes full of ferocity.

Although after reaching the fourth stage their thoughts and will had recovered to supercomputer levels, letting them stay rational at all times.

But after prolonged fighting, the instinctive madness of the mutant within him had gradually overtaken his reason!

"These damned worms!!!"

He was beyond angry.

He clearly only wanted to kill Lin An, never intending to start another war—but these disgusting alien species blocked him like idiots!

Realizing that dragging it out was pointless, the general's eyes flashed with madness.

Can't drag it out any longer! The secret on Lin An is worth paying a price for!

At least before a king-rank intervenes, he must use every means to obtain Lin An's corpse!

With that thought.

In an instant, the general suddenly opened his massive jaws, like a blood‑filled maw split wide enough to swallow a mountain, as a blinding white light violently gathered within.

The next second, like a solar explosion, an unmatched beam of light, hundreds of meters thick, erupted wildly from his mouth.

"Go to hell!! You worms!!"

This is the reward bestowed upon him by the Emperor!

After converting a vast amount of life force into energy, he can unleash a rule attack comparable to a king-rank!

Although crude, rudimentary, and extremely wasteful in its conversion ratio!

But this is also the only rule ability the mutants can simulate!

Life-Death Breath!

"Boom— Boom—"

Like a death star's radiance, in an instant every alien species touching the light beam dissolved into basic matter; within seconds, a huge passage resembling a great canyon appeared before the general's eyes.

Along this stretch of nearly ten thousand meters, vast numbers of melted, scorched alien species lay half‑burned like walls, piled on both sides.

"Charge in!!"

Gasping heavily, suppressing his overwhelming weakness, the general without hesitation led a large group of mutants in a frantic charge outward.

At his speed, as long as he isn't held back by alien species, he can sweep the entire area and find Lin An within ten‑odd minutes!

Even faster!

"Ha.. ha.."

Low panting, greedy.

On the dark, silent earth, Lin An stared obsessively at the distant blood‑colored light pillar.

As if something he needed lay there.

Behind him, his narrow, sharp bone wings slowly flapped.

Thirteen minutes remained until the second aberration.

And within this black‑snake‑like behemoth lying prone on the ground, a dominion‑level alien species anxiously looked around repeatedly.

Irritable, uneasy.

Although nothing abnormal was present, for some reason he felt that something terrifying to the extreme was approaching from the darkness.

What is it!? What on earth is it!?
