Chapter 2131

Eternal spirit burns!

Switch!

Magnetic field spins 100 times!

Blast for me!!

"Boom!!!!"

A massive amount of light and status effects, like a supernova explosion, erupted from within Lin An.

The instant magnetic field effect exploded like a stellar blast between the two 'people', as a dense current filled the arena; under the simultaneous action of attraction and repulsion rules, Lin An forcibly blasted himself away from the spot, escaping danger at top speed.

Perhaps the petrification rule's range was limited; after his body recovered movement, Lin An finally had a chance to activate Void Walk, flashing back to the cave mouth.

He couldn't afford to conserve potions.

After being enveloped again by two consecutive brilliant lights, Lin An, his face pale, looked at the corpse he had blown away and began to tend to his wounds.

Close call! If it weren't for his monstrous physique, that blow would have severely injured him, leaving no room to resist!

I don't know if it's because he's grown accustomed to corpses everywhere here, but when he collided with this corpse, his five senses gave no warning at all.

To conserve consumption, his body surface had nothing else protecting besides the Term: Faith Power.

After all, who would have thought that these things, dead to the point of being unable to die any further, could actually 'come back to life'! Even if ambushed, a normal war star would need a moment to break through his flesh defense.

Multiple factors piled up, and when suddenly facing the attack of this Star-Destroying Level corpse, he almost got instantly killed on the spot.

"If the attack just now had been aimed at my head, perhaps I would already be dead..!"

Feeling heavy-hearted, he became alert.

After two consecutive accidents, Lin An felt he had been too careless, making too many mistakes he shouldn't have made.

He realized that this Star Radiance battle might be influenced by No. 77, or perhaps his power had surged multiple times, and he basically felt no one could threaten him in this round.

"Due to excessive 'arrogance', this caused him to be far less cautious than before."

"This can't go on; what's the difference between this and those Fifth Stage beings I've killed with my own hands!!"

After warning himself, Lin An's eyes flashed with a silver light, and he stared intently at the corpse.

Although he had noticed, the corpse remained motionless after being blown apart, with extremely low intelligence; the earlier assault was merely an instinctive reaction. Given his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to resolve.

But at this moment, he no longer intended to have any overconfident thoughts.

"This corpse seems to be moving relying on residual cellular consciousness within its body?"

"The rules are strong, stronger than any Star-Destroying Level I've killed before! But reserves are low; after just restraining me, the rules have already been consumed by more than half."

At a stalemate, Lin An quickly simulated the battle in his mind.

This corpse blocked his necessary path; not dealing with it is not an option.

In close combat, the opponent's residual space and controlling rules still threaten him. Needless to say, the rules mastered by this corpse are among the strong ones even at Star-Destroying Level.

"The petrification range isn't large, but it has an armor-breaking effect. Just now after I was petrified, my physical strength obviously dropped a lot. My thinking also slowed, which is why I couldn't react.."

"Immobilize, instant kill—dual control over body and spirit; such an extremely offensive rule combination, I have no idea what this guy's background was before death!!"

Leveraging the analytical ability of his Omniscient Domain, Lin An quickly observed the corpse's ability range.

Ignoring the dream mouse that had been blown up alongside him, squeaking from the side, Lin An swiftly mobilized his own spiritual energy, intending only to wear down the opponent from a distance. Fortunately the opponent is dead, with hardly any instinctive activity; otherwise this battle would definitely be a tough fight!

He had already tried earlier; the Samsara Eye couldn't see the opponent's life fire, meaning spiritual attacks should also be ineffective against the corpse.

"So to kill this guy from a distance, the best method is to annihilate him to ashes!"

Plan confirmed.

In an instant, Lin An immediately superimposed his electromagnetic rules onto Cain's Blade.

"Only see a blue-black current explosively burst and compress, then a substantive-like energy sword wave shoots out!"

Electromagnetic, compression, dissociation, superposition!

"Soon, in almost less than 0.01 second, this sword light, continuously compressed three times and mixed with repulsion rules, easily pierced the corpse's chest."

"Bang!!"

"Only heard a deafening plasma explosion; the corpse's stiff gray-white flesh was vaporized under plasma reaching ten thousand degrees! Like cremation, in the blink of an eye only one-third of its body remained."

Seeing this, Lin An felt a slight relief, thinking this corpse was easier to kill than he imagined.

Fortunately, there was no rule protection, and it didn't know how to dodge.

"Even though the dissociating sword light he unleashed wasn't his strongest attack, even a Star-Destroying Level body couldn't withstand his damage."

"Several seconds later, watching the last wisp of blue smoke rise, Lin An then cautiously flew toward where the corpse had vanished."

"No kill reward, looks like it really was a corpse..."

"But what is this?"

Lin An lowered his head, reached out with his right hand, and a white speck of light, nearly too small to notice, was scooped from the floating ashes of the corpse.

His vision magnified, after being enlarged a hundredfold, Lin An raised his eyebrows and finally saw what the speck of light was.

"One..."

"An implanted crystal core? Nano-scale?"

"A very hard, special material..."

"Star Radiance 3173? What does that mean?"

Everywhere exuded eeriness; Lin An, lost in thought, recalled the corpse's attire before it was vaporized, and after a while, as if realizing something, he unconsciously looked toward the distant darkness.

"Although he didn't know what exactly had happened here, whether the Star Radiance Alliance was truly conducting some experiment."

"But Lin An could anticipate that this final leg of the journey would probably not be so easy."

"The appearance of a complete corpse here means..."

"Below, there will only be more."

"That thing, I'm afraid it won't be easy to obtain..."

If there were still higher-level corpses...

Lin An took a deep breath, feeling that his big eyeballs were somewhat unreliable. Obviously there was still danger below; if it weren't for his fast traveling speed, according to his original speed calculation, he really would have been cocky enough to snag the artifact and then seize first place.

What Lin An didn't realize was that the two consecutive problems he encountered were simply because his speed was too fast.

His speed was so fast that it surpassed the estimate for No. 77.

There were some things he shouldn't have run into...

Fifteen minutes later.

Solar System.

Lord Black Flame, we have already reached the range of the Solar System.

Your judgment was correct; we have discovered something quite interesting...

A massive squad of up to a hundred Fifth Stage members, the Star-Destroying Level Fifth Stage leading them looked excitedly at the triangular construct on that huge 'fireball'.

Eye of Horus! The most primitive device from the ancient era!
