Chapter 2144: Summit Battle 32

"Squeak-squeak..!"

"Squeak!!"

Tentacles wrapped around the Dream Mouse.

In the vast dark cavity, the whole cavity seemed to divide into three sections.

One section was heart-tentacles drilling out from narrow fissures; another was the Dream Mouse entwined by tentacles, as if being stroked. At the far end, like a stone, Lin An remained motionless.

For unknown reasons, all three sides strangely remained still.

Seeing this, Lin An momentarily couldn't tell whether the heart had sensed something or was merely puzzled as to why the Dream Mouse was here.

Although the tentacles reached out, the main body shrank back.

Such a situation was clearly not what he wanted.

"Why aren't you moving? Is it because you've never seen a Dream Mouse? Do you feel threatened?"

"Or have you sensed me?"

Constantly suppressing the provoked heart, Lin An, like a patient assassin, made no rash moves.

In his imagined battle, he preferred to pass through this heart, even wanting to swallow the Dream Mouse before striking out. That way, he could use Judgment's displacement effect to rush straight to the vital spot.

Relying on the instantaneous burst of power, he had considerable confidence to cleave the heart directly!

Of course, he hadn't not tried to directly lock onto the heart.

Unfortunately, though it appeared alive, it actually could not be dragged into the Judgment Space at all.

Fortunately, this stalemate didn't last long; under Lin An's patient wait, about four or five seconds later, the tentacles entwined around the Dream Mouse began to move vigorously.

All that could be seen was this tentacle constantly rubbing against the stiff Dream Mouse, like a poisonous snake probing its body.

Perhaps due to the Dream Mouse's peculiarity, the Nightmare Heart lurking in the Rear also felt a hint of 'doubt'.

According to its judgment, this thing was inedible, yet in this underground space, there seemed nothing it couldn't eat.

Soon, under Lin An's gaze, the heart that had stopped moving finally moved again.

As if pulling itself with its tentacles, within a few seconds the heart waved its tentacles and slid over silently.

At the same time, seemingly aware that the heart was about to make close contact, the Dream Mouse's already-exploded little heart thumped like an engine, boom boom! Its sharp, urgent cries echoed in the cavity, adding a touch of horror.

Moreover, on the few corpses gripped at the tentacle tips—those that had been melted or absorbed, leaving only a thin skin—gaped open-mouthed, and under the tentacles' control kept slamming into the Dream Mouse.

"Thud.. thud..!"

This scene was exactly like a child with an undying heart, poking a mouse in the corner with a mud figurine.

Ignoring the Dream Mouse's fear pushed to the extreme, he desperately sent a rescue mission his way.

Almost at the instant the heart moved above the Dream Mouse, Lin An's eyes burst with silver-purple light; his internal electromagnetic rules surged to the limit! The physical strength previously suppressed to the extreme also swelled violently, like an exploding blazing sun.

An unmatched life force erupted at that moment.

It was as if two breaths collided; Lin An's ultimate life force, representing his limit, turned into pure white light and instantly struck the heart's gray-red hue.

Before the heart could react, the tentacles' human-like vigilance rose.

In a flash, Lin An let out a low shout, and the power of the Judgment Space activated simultaneously!

Now!

Judgment!

"Hum!"

Judgment Descent!

Using the Dream Mouse as a stepping stone, Lin An instantly vanished from his spot and reappeared in the Judgment Space, where, under the amplification of repulsive and attractive force rules, he swelled to ten meters. Crackling, the boundless burning mental power ceaselessly turned into rule power, rapidly spinning; after temporarily pushing his rule power to triple its limit! The electromagnetic rules surrounding Lin An coiled like a thunder dragon, imprinting him as the incarnation of thunder!

For a moment, space seemed to warp, huge magnetic-field currents piercing the air and igniting clusters of silver-blue flames!

Flesh and spirit, faith and rules!

Fourfold power condensed into a single line! At this very moment, Lin An was the strongest being on this battlefield!

Stars! Burn!

Potion explodes!

Seconds later!

Before the Dream Mouse could react, Lin An surged out of the space in his utmost posture, the Cain's Blade in his hand as if cleaving the world's flesh, bursting with blinding red light!

Magnetic field shifts! Enlargement! Destruction! Mind storm!

Void walking! Step!

"Boom!!!!"

All forces were mobilized to their limits at this moment.

A massive surge of spiritual energy, like a tsunami rising from the void, instantly engulfed the heart. The scarlet spiritual storm raged and screeched, like a heavy hammer, smashing the tentacles' instinctive defensive reflexes.

With over a thousand points of power backing him, Lin An was confident that this single slash could shatter stars; if unleashed on Earth, it would likely obliterate the planet's star core! Cease rotation!

The situation seemed excellent!

Facing Lin An's instant-kill strike, the Nightmare Heart seemed stunned, showing no reaction whatsoever. Or, at such extreme range, even if it reacted, it would be useless!

Only a harsh metallic scraping sound was heard.

"Scritch!"

Under Lin An's slash, the instantly rent space rift abruptly collided with a layer of red-white light.

A large amount of unknown energy burst forth in dazzling seven-colored light upon impact; at the same time, the Cain's Blade in Lin An's hand was firmly blocked by the light, unable to advance even a fraction.

Shield!?

This is silver...!?

Before the Omniscient Domain could instantly analyze this light's effect...

In an instant, not just two streams, but a vast amount of rule power erupted suddenly from behind Lin An.

Only at the tip of the tentacle, the two intact Shattered Star-level corpses suddenly opened their eyes just like living people.
