Chapter 2195: Star-Shining Eternity 32
Courting death!
Even though in exile state, Batu Lu behind Lin An still felt a strong stabbing pain and nausea.
The green light was blinding, he forcibly endured the discomfort. At this moment, Batu Lu was excited to the point of almost jumping up; he seemed to see Lin An's terrible fate.
Facing Lin An's reaction, he also didn't think there was any problem.
The speed of the radiation rule is too fast! As fast as light, so is the radiation! Compared to the most common energy rule of the Fifth Stage, the radiation rule has a larger coverage and stronger penetration! Besides hard resistance, it's basically impossible to dodge by speed!
And these people of the Radiation Alliance also listened to his words and made the correct choice!
Nothing is more effective at harming the Body System than the radiation rule!
Although the physical destruction of radiation attacks is extremely low, against living beings, the high-energy particles in the gamma ray flow can ignore defenses and attack cell telomeres, directly killing the enemy from within!
Therefore, no matter how strong this human's defense is, it will only undergo genetic collapse in an extremely short time, melting into a pool of blood!
That's also why he initially didn't believe anyone could reach the peak from them! War Star Individuals skilled in radiation energy rules may not have strong regular combat power, but they are definitely the kind that peers of the same level dread most!
"Damn bastard! I already said you would feel the most painful despair!"
"Cry! Shout! Then die!"
Flailing his arms and legs, even though his eyes were tearing from the stabbing pain, Batu Lu still couldn't bear to close his eyes, just staring fixedly at the struck Lin An! He saw the flesh buds growing, saw Lin An painfully "trembling"!
Under the attack of over twenty gamma ray bursts, Lin An at this moment was like a blazing green sun, his whole body devoured by massive radiation energy, his flesh and blood undergoing crazy mutation!
Mutation! Contamination! Wail!
As expected, within at most about half a second, this damned monkey will sprout numerous limbs while screaming, then watch helplessly as his own brain is blown apart by wildly mutating flesh, ultimately dying miserably!
But the joy lasted less than half a second.
Before Batu Lu's smile on his face could stiffen, in an instant, a large amount of gamma ray flow carrying contamination rules, like pure energy, was swallowed whole by Lin An.
It was as if these green lights were no longer the most terrifying radiation, but a supplement.
In less than 0.1 second, the frenziedly proliferating flesh buds on Lin An's body surface were instantly violently purified by an almost infinite vitality.
With a "shla" sound, the bone wings unfolded and instantly retracted; Lin An calmly raised his head, looking at the shocking allied army in the sky.
"Not a bad rule, especially, this kind of attack seems to have inspired me."
As his words fell, before the faces of the nine squad leaders heading the War Star Peak could change drastically, they were shocked to the point of despair.
The next second, Lin An made an extremely still turn and instantly vanished from the spot!
Judgment!
Omniscient Domain!
"Bang!!"
After stepping on and exploding a Fifth Stage being pulled into the Judgment space, Lin An appeared treading on corpses.
Among over eighty War Star Individuals, the silver light of the instantly deployed Omniscient Domain immediately enveloped everyone. Giving the crowd no time to react, under the absolute attribute dominance, a massive information torrent instantly marked the optimal solution above the heads of all Fifth Stages.
As if placed in a river of time with different flow speeds.
Watching the alliance members, who could only turn in shock like in slow motion, Lin An, expressionless, a white light flashed in his left hand, and a narrow, ferocious bone sword appeared in his grasp.
Echo!
In an instant, his posture made another abrupt still turn.
Like an online game, Lin An, instantly accelerated to four hundred times the speed of sound, turned into a stream of light, suddenly shuttling at high speed through nearly a hundred War Star Individuals!
Four hundred twelve times!
Four hundred twenty-three times!
Four hundred sixty times!
Five hundred times!
"Peng! Peng!! Peng!!!"
Each time the stream of light shuttles, a cluster of blood mist explodes at the original spot; if someone watches from afar, they will be shocked to see the black light that Lin An has turned into, like a genuine ray of light, as if entering an uninhabited realm!
Relying on the speed stacked after Echo kills, Lin An, already at the extreme of speed, even at this moment approaches the Star-Destroying Limit infinitely!
Time also seemed to slow down further.
Among the nine captains, even the fastest-reacting radiation energy modifier could only stare in shock as clusters of blood mist exploded.
Too fast, really too fast!
Don't even talk about mental path lock, don't even talk about tracking with the eyes! His thoughts, his consciousness can't even keep up with the speed of that stream of light!
Like in slow motion, he could only watch his own teammates being smashed in the head by that stream of light, and see Lin An slaughtering them with ease!
He hadn't even fully turned his body back, yet half of his fellow Fifth Stages on the same team had already died miserably!
So fast that an afterimage lingered on his retina, like a distorted light ray, recklessly piercing through everyone!
Why such speed!? Why does a Star-Destroying level weapon appear!? What is this silver light, is it a domain!?
Nothing is more despairing than being unable to even resist.
No one could answer his question.
As the nine War Star Peak squad leaders completely collapsed, or rather could do nothing, they could only watch helplessly as their teammates died miserably.
That light finally stopped.
Only seeing seventy-six corpses floating in midair, the next second they completely lost power and silently fell to the ground.
And standing before them was only Lin An, slowly sheathing his sword.
His expression calm, on Lin An's body they couldn't even see a drop of blood.
Dead, all dead.
In just 1.4 seconds.
A Radiation Energy Alliance composed of nearly a hundred Fifth Stages was thus wiped out.
"Run.."
Run!!! Run!!
Boom!!
It seemed they could not accept any of this, which made their bodies tremble; the other eight War Star Captains who had come to their senses now felt their livers and gallbladders about to burst, just like Lei Meng initially, completely losing the courage to fight.
Although Lin An's displayed level remained Fourth Stage, at this moment they only wanted to flee, only wanted to send back the news that had appeared on the first layer, almost like a nightmare, to the upper layer!
It's too terrifying, this strength is truly too terrifying! Over eighty Fifth Stage cultivators were crushed like ants; with such power, even the top ten experts might not be able to do it! They could imagine that, if no one knew what had happened here, the moment that nightmare-like monster stepped onto the second and third layers would be the time of death for all of them!
Send it back! Send it out! We must send it back!!
He has a Star-Destroying Level weapon in his hand!
It's not just about escaping with their lives; it's also for the sake of their civilization.
The eight people were like an exploding flock of birds, all madly fleeing in every direction.
However, fleeing was meaningless.
In an instant, a deep bell rang, and an intangible barrier instantly like a prison violently flung the fastest Radiation Energy Human-Insect.
Ignoring the despair of the eight, Lin An gave a light chuckle, slowly flying toward the collapsing crowd still trying to break the barrier.
"Are you trying to run away to send back the news?"
"It's unnecessary; as long as you hand over your points, I can let you send back the news."
Half a minute later.
"You will die! You will definitely die! We'll be waiting for you in hell!!"
"You're not invincible! You'll regret it!"
"Bang!"
After his mental power instantly shattered the brain of the eighth squad captain, Lin An slightly shook his head, calmly gathering the opponent's corpse together into a floating mound of corpses.
"Hell? He won't go to hell."
"Regret? He never thought of hiding his strength, nor fears being surrounded and killed."
If he really died, he would likely go to Shen Yuan, or perhaps the Spirit Realm.
Facing these War Star Level curses, he only found them somewhat boring.
However, in order to send out the news, these eight squad captains, just as he wished, 'voluntarily' contributed over six hundred points to him. Although it was still pitifully few, Lin An also knew that those War Star Level participants entering the Stellar Glory War usually carried at most this many points.
After all, if you die, you have nothing left.
"Four hundred plus six hundred makes a thousand. After slaughtering this layer, gathering two or three thousand should not be difficult. It's just too much of a waste of time..."
No one knew what terrifying plan Lin An had in mind.
After suppressing his extraneous thoughts, Lin An turned and looked with some curiosity at the sole individual who had not fled, the Radiation Energy Transformer who had remained in place, staring at him.
He remembered correctly that the opponent's reaction was the fastest; if one ignored the third arm that had mutated from the Radiation Energy Transformer's back, he might even have thought the opponent was human.
"Not fleeing?"
"You can also be like them; I allow you to send out a sentence before you die."
Lin An smiled gently, raised his hand, and offered the communicator.
Of the eight captains who died earlier, half chose to report that he had a bone sword in his hand, apparently believing his strength was related to that Star-Destroying Level weapon.
The remaining half, meanwhile, focused their warning on his speed and the strength of his physique.
As expected, after receiving the information, the teams of the Radiation Energy Alliance on the second and third layers would likely selectively target him based on the provided intelligence.
However, contrary to Lin An's expectations, the sole Radiation Energy Transformer who had no intention of fleeing now gave a bitter smile, looking at him with a complex expression.
"If you can't escape, why bother running?"
"I saw the bone wings suddenly appear behind you; although it was only for a brief moment, if nothing unexpected happens, this form of yours is basically not your strongest form, right?"
"Are you a one-star Body System? Your normal speed already exceeds the War Star Level limit; facing you, we actually have no chance of survival, so why humiliate yourself?"
Lin An raised his eyebrows, smiled, and did not bother to refute anything.
It seems the Radiation Energy Transformer mistook him for a lifeform like a Star Devourer. His true form is not human, but a far more terrifying monster.
Moreover, under the gamma ray burst attack, he indeed discovered that his own mutated form had been actively triggered.
In a sense, Lin An himself did not even know what he actually was.
"So, you don't want to say anything? I keep my word; hand over your points, and you can send out whatever message you wish."
"No, it's not necessary."
The Empowered Transformer gave a bitter laugh and directly handed over the points on his person in a straightforward manner.
All that could be seen was him letting out a long sigh, looking at Lin An with eyes full of complexity.
"It's meaningless. I'm not like them; they still believe that sending out the news will be useful."
"But I think doing this is just seeking death. Is joining forces useful? We have already paid you enough attention this time; even if the goblin Batu Lu concealed the news, we still gathered nearly a hundred Fifth Stage cultivators."
"Before coming, we made all preparations, being sufficiently cautious and careful, even considering various circumstances."
"But what was the result?"
While speaking, the Radiation Energy Transformer suddenly gave a self-mocking laugh.
"To be honest, since I first entered the Stellar Glory War, I had fantasized about getting a decent ranking. After all, I am considered a half Body System and have a grasp of fairly decent radiation rules. But seeing one super existence after another appear, I suddenly realized that someone like me, a Fifth Stage, is actually just cannon fodder. We might be considered strong and elite in our own star system, but before true experts, we are nothing but a speck of dust."
"Saying this might make you laugh, but I once dreamed of standing at the peak, shining like the most brilliant star upon the Eternal Summit."
"But in fact, I can only stay on the first layer."
A sigh.
"I am really tired, truly tired. Our civilization suffered a radiation crisis seventy years ago; I rose from obscurity, step by step following our leader to today. I still remember when I first became a Fifth Stage, the whole star system cheered for me, and I also recall the expectations of billions of eyes when entering the Stellar Glory War. That pressure and anticipation left me breathless. Especially knowing that I actually have little hope... my limits, my future, probably end here."
"I am not a genius, nor do I have any strong conviction."
"I am merely an ordinary person, surviving to today on a bit of luck, a bit of effort, and a bit of fortune, a pitiful creature."
"I."
It is destined that one cannot climb that mountain.
I can only look up at people like you from the mountain's base, just as I gaze up at the starry sky..
Without interrupting the radiation modifier's words, Lin An fell silent, hearing the helplessness and sigh in the other's tone. Not long ago, he too would gaze at the stars for a long time, gazing at the entire universe. He even once asked Chu An: someone like him, can he really make it to the end?
Hand over the points, and I can let you go.
Lin An spoke softly, seriously looking at the radiation modifier.
He knows this kind of pain; as long as it doesn't affect his plan, he is not truly that cold-hearted. The radiation modifier before him is like a microcosm of many people; they are actually not enemies, and there is no hatred between them.
However, this once again exceeded Lin An's expectations.
The radiation modifier was slightly stunned; seeing his longing look at the last glance, as if unable to see the end of the Eternal Summit, he lowered his head and then calmly looked at Lin An:
No need, please kill me.
Of course, if possible, I hope you can take my eyes and look at the scenery up there.
The radiation modifier gave an easy smile:
I actually really want to know, what does it feel like to have the stars shine eternally, to set foot on the mountain peak...
Okay.
A sword light flashed.
A blood line silently appeared on the radiation modifier's brow; after severing the head, Lin An seriously held it.
Looking at those eyes that seemed relieved and at peace, Lin An remained silent for a long time.
He thought.
He will bring him to see what he saw.
