Chapter 2145: Summit Battle 33
Hum!
Hum!!
Two kinds of rule buzzing sounded continuously.
As if a trap, under the tentacles' control, the two shattered star-level corpses simultaneously activated their own rules.
Accompanied by two intense flashes of light, a strong threat of death instantly filled Lin An's mind!
To finish off the heart in one blow, he got too close to it! Within less than ten meters, he didn't even have time to Blink!
Absolute low temperature!
Unknown particle field!
Without waiting for Lin An to activate the Omniscience Domain to try to find the optimal solution.
A second later, a cyan beam of light struck his body at nearly a hundred times the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, this cyan beam easily tore through his electromagnetic defenses.
Despite the huge gap in rank, no matter how Lin An manipulated repulsive force to block this rule power's attack, the rules on his surface seemed to freeze, offering no resistance!
If he hadn't activated the Flame of Time in advance, he wouldn't even have the qualification to be frozen; at the moment of impact, he would turn into a cold corpse!
"Crack crack," the current froze, the magnetic field stopped.
For a moment, Lin An only felt his blood rapidly freezing inside, while the lightning surrounding him outside was absurdly fixed in midair.
As if sealed in ice for ten thousand years, before this low temperature that would halt even molecular motion, even his consciousness began to rapidly freeze!
However, the danger was far from over.
Before him, in front of the second shattered star-level corpse on the right, a large number of rotating light points densely appeared like grapeshot.
Even the Omniscience Domain couldn't analyze what rule this was under; Lin An's heart jolted, realizing he absolutely could not be hit! He could feel that these light points seemed to have spatial tracking properties!
(This thing...! It also harbors the intent to kill me!)
No time to think why the opponent could detect him and set a trap.
At this moment, Lin An had no choice but to frantically burn his own mental power, while the divine fire connected to Earth's side was simultaneously ignited, just to support the Omniscience Domain's overload consumption!
The more dangerous the moment, the calmer he became.
Like calculating battle from a third-person perspective, in an instant, a massive torrent of information seemed to solidify, frantically combining; countless futures' outcomes jumped.
Finally, the image of a frightened mouse froze in Lin An's sight.
Found it...!
Hum
Almost seizing the moment before the light points finished condensing and struck his body, Lin An unhesitatingly activated Reversal, briefly reversing his state back to before the freeze. Although meaningless, the duration of the release would likely be re-frozen as soon as he Blinked.
But for Lin An, this moment of contact control was already enough!
Judgment!
Target! Dream Mouse!
One second later.
Bang!
In a dark, cold Judgment Space, Lin An plopped down from midair and smashed straight onto the Dream Mouse's head. Like a frozen corpse, upon falling, his legs snapped off with a bang, shattering into fragments.
At the wound like ice shards, even the blood was frozen, not a drop could flow out.
And on Lin An's chest and forehead, the two constantly rotating light points, like bone-eating worms, continuously dissolved his flesh.
Although these two light points had lost further rule support, at this moment they were like burning white scales, gaining energy by burning his flesh, burning infinitely.
With such injuries, an ordinary War Star Level would likely be on the brink of death, unable to cope. But for Lin An, as long as he wasn't instantly killed by a single blow, any injury was no problem before his abnormal regenerative power.
His flesh constantly exploded and reassembled; seeing the indestructible light points, Lin An ruthlessly chopped off half his skull with a sword, pulled out his left breastbone. With a flick, he also sliced off his ignited arm and flung it, along with the arm, to the edge of space.
Crackle, the roaring flames instantly devoured his severed limbs, turning them into a pile of white ash in less than half a second.
Three seconds later, after treating all his bodily injuries, Lin An recovered to a perfect state like a newborn baby.
Although he had escaped a calamity, Lin An felt no joy at all.
As if he could see the outside world's heart eyeing him covetously, Lin An's face turned extremely grim, feeling he had encountered an unsolvable problem.
"Silver Heart Level defense, peak of Fifth Stage."
"With my burst power, I absolutely cannot break through this level of defense in a short time."
"Unless I enter the Apocalyptic Form... but my catastrophe points are nowhere near enough... and once I use the Apocalyptic Form, I'm likely to invite greater trouble."
Temporarily safe, Lin An sat pale-faced on the Dream Mouse's head, not even paying attention to this poor mouse that was about to faint from fright.
Faced with the Nightmare Heart's lethal trap, the Omniscience Domain's optimal solution was to use the Dream Mouse to form a Judgment Space to hide in. Not really a solution, but if this heart, though strange, were not a true Awakened One, then if it were a pile of shattered stars surrounding him, there would naturally be ways to attack the point where the Dream Mouse vanished, forcibly shaking him out.
Lin An lowered his head, looking with a complex expression at the Dream Mouse beneath him.
This thing also counts as saving his life, but speaking of it, if he hadn't encountered the Dream Mouse, perhaps he wouldn't have faced the heart so early. In two days, after the heart finishes digesting those corpses, even if it had a Silver Heart Level shield protecting it, to him it would just be wasting a bit of time to break through.
"Could it be that I chose wrong..."
"I shouldn't have violated Number 77's arrangement and made early contact with this thing?"
In theory, he could still continue to linger in the Judgment Space, waiting for this heart to lose its "power".
Of course, the probability that everything would still develop according to the original plan is now less than 50%; this heart is very likely not to digest the corpses, but to keep guarding him as he emerges.
Lin An gave a bitter laugh, feeling that since entering the underground space, he has constantly encountered unexpected events. Looking back, everything seems to be his own doing; it is his violation of Number 77's arrangement that has led to the present situation.
But...
First, he dislikes avoiding problems; the constant anomalies on the Starlight Battlefield give him a strong sense of urgency.
Second, deep down he feels he must speed up, as something has already deviated from the original trajectory.
Of course, Lin An probably doesn't realize, but his feeling is not wrong.
Precisely because of a series of chain reactions, he avoided a true dead end.
