Chapter 602: Battle Ends

Boom!

Time seemed to stop.

In the twisted, discordant perception, the endless corpse tide that had originally enveloped the squad,

In an instant, it suddenly contracted slightly inward, then, like a solar eruption, an explosion rose from within.

Spreading, spreading, rapidly expanding.

The corpse tide collapsed.

Blinding white light that illuminated the entire sky melted everything.

All things burned.

Half darkness, half light, like a demon from myth suddenly appearing in the sky.

A single strike destroyed all surrounding blood corpses.

Along with the corpse wall formed from endless blood corpses, it also underwent a chain collapse under this mighty, unmatched impact.

In the high sky, Lin An seemed to have fallen into absolute calm and confidence.

He had a blank expression, silently lowering his head to look at his right hand.

The bat-like wings formed behind him by the merging black dragon slowly flapped.

A long-missed feeling...

Now I...

Terrifyingly strong!

His pupils were pitch black, showing no trace of human form.

Celestial beings, demons, and black dragons revived, plus burning third-rank souls.

At this moment, Lin An could be said to have raised his combat power to an unprecedentedly powerful moment.

Compared to when he shattered the Safe Zone with a single sword strike, he is now many times stronger!

"Lin... An..."

The voice was tender, like a baby learning to speak.

On his wrist, the original black dragon, like a stone carving, suddenly strained to lift its head, foolishly gazing at Lin An's wings behind him.

I... seemed to have seen another me...

But... bigger...

Feeling somewhat wronged.

It didn't even know how long it had slept.

The little guy also woke up.

If not for being awakened by the stimulation of another black dragon...

It didn't know what had happened.

Feeling the little guy's exhausted strength within, Lin An faintly felt a hint of guilt.

Back then, to save Zhang Tie, the black dragon had truly been drained of its last bit of strength by him.

After soothing the black dragon with a few words, the youth-form black dragon attached behind him also seemed to sense its own juvenile self.

A long dragon roar seemed to be telling it something.

One second passed.

In the high sky.

Under the fourth-rank state, Lin An gazed at the endless corpse tide awed by the supreme dragon's might, and gave a faint smile.

After this battle ends, I'll help the little guy replenish his energy.

Sensing Lin An's will, the black dragon coiled around his wrist let out a low growl, then went back to sleep, content.

Mental power locked onto the corpse tide core suppressed by the dragon's might, that dark blue structure.

Lin An suddenly bowed slightly, then with a furious shout directly flashed forward to kill.

"Zhang Tie! Keep up!"

"Got it!"

Standing beneath Lin An's feet, Xiong Hanzi's scalp even felt a bit numb.

Lin, regarding this state, is truly too strong.

Just the aura spilling out made him feel creepy.

"Bear Transformation!"

"Violent Charge!"

His form kept expanding.

A silver-black giant bear instantly expanded several meters, stepping on blood corpses' skulls and charging toward the core.

Under continuous commands.

The last remaining ascetic practitioners were shocked and stunned, instinctively taking Lin An as the spearhead and charging again toward the core area.

At this moment, the battlefield's scene was eerie.

In midair was a round, scorching red light like the sun, its interior black as an abyss.

"On the ground" is a silver-black monster like a heavenly soldier, its body filled with red spiritual energy as it roars and attacks.

The ascetic practitioners following behind once again raised their soul shrieks and followed the charge.

At the moment the charge was launched.

Deep within the blood corpse army originally subdued by the dragon's might, a subtle control pulse suddenly radiated outward.

The previously motionless corpse tide, as if coming to its senses, moved again.

Near hundred million blood corpses, Lin An's squad began to clash.

「Slash! 」

Under the mental power of breaking through Third Rank, a vast amount of mental power sank into the sword sheath.

Lin An drew backhand the temporarily 「enchanted」 Blood Abyss sword and slashed out.

Under mental power amplification, a sword aura nearly a hundred meters long cleaved out sharply.

Slash through everything!

The corpse tide from the clash, under this sword, was like the sea being split; merely approaching this sword aura, they were crushed to death by the overflowing mental turbulence.

One strike carved a path of life and death!

Left hand Blood Abyss, right hand Cain's Blade.

Upon activating the destruction skill again, Lin An's speed instantly broke through Mach 2.

His figure left a still afterimage phantom, a visual pause left on the retina when speed reaches its limit.

「Boom!!!! 」

As if celestial bodies collided with the earth.

Lin An, carrying high-speed kinetic energy, penetrated the entire corpse wall without hindrance.

The hundred-meter-thick wall of flesh and blood was as fragile as paper at this moment.

「Sword Prison! 」

Self-created skill activated.

The twin swords slashed out at supersonic speed, stirring up one after another cruel blade storm.

Large numbers of blood corpses were torn apart, and the surrounding charging blood corpses were also swept into a horizontal dragon tornado.

「Charge in!! 」

「Earthquake!! 」

Zhang Tie let out a feral grin, locking onto the corpse wall's charge, he directly thrust both palms toward the ground.

Originating from the skill's special effect activation.

An earthquake wave generated out of thin air began to spread from the blood corpses' heads beneath his feet.

Like waves, the blood corpses stepped on underfoot constantly twisted and deformed under the skill's special effect, turning into sky-filling flesh fragments.

The effect was excellent.

The blood corpse wall, having lost its center of gravity support, suddenly began to collapse over a large area.

And Lin An, fighting at his strongest, was unstoppable.

One slash, a thousand strikes.

Each swing would stir up a hundred-meter blade storm.

Each forward thrust would pierce through the entire corpse tide.

Continuous sonic booms sounded; every raise of hand and step was a peak strike.

Feeling his own terrifying strength, Lin An couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked.

A casual strike could rival the might of cleaving and exploding an entire city.

The Third Rank stacked state, indeed just as Huang Shaohua said.

It's a pity, this state couldn't be maintained for long.

Using four Ascetic Practitioners as fuel, plus the vast life force previously collected, combined with an extreme physique.

He could at most maintain it for 29 seconds.

Otherwise, Lin An had absolute confidence that he could personally slaughter this endless corpse tide.

Too strong!

「Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! 」

Wanton slaughter.

The power within his body seemed endless.

Lin An freely released his killing desire.

Divine Thorn, Withering, Mental Impact, Soul Shriek.

In a near tireless state, he almost variably slaughtered the blood corpses before him.

Wherever his gaze landed, there was a mental explosion.

Wherever his wrist turned, there was a sharp blade storm.

However, only twenty seconds.

The final line of defense formed from nearly a hundred million blood corpses was easily pierced by him.

「Boom!! 」

Taking advantage of the last second as the state ended.

Lin An simply plunged at high speed, instantly detonating all his mental power, blasting that dark blue building complex.

「Boom!!!! 」

An invisible spherical shockwave blasted the blood corpses guarding the last line of defense into the sky, exposing the true appearance of the dark blue building complex.

「Charge in! 」

His pupils constricted slightly.

Amidst the sky-falling rain of flesh and blood, the blue spiritual energy technological construct was fully exposed before Lin An's eyes.

At the moment of entering, an ultimate chill swept over his whole body.

It was like entering a mental power barrier.

In an instant, the blood corpses that had been chasing them suddenly froze in place, motionless.

It seemed as if this place was a forbidden zone.

"Beep, discovered simulated control hub."

"Secret Realm exploration progress increased…"

"Beep, completed the She Sha mystery task,"

"Beep, completed the blood corpse mystery task."

"Beep, completed the Ascetic Practitioners power mystery task."

"Beep, current remaining tasks: prevent the first blood corpse from being born, eliminate the Ascetic Practitioners, and solve the mystery of Mo Wubi Si."

System prompts sounded one after another.

Lin An paid no attention to the system prompts in his ears, merely gasping heavily, his eyes fixed tightly on the light sphere hovering inside the building's hall.

An unbelievable emotion welled up in his heart.

This place…

How could it be so similar to the base's core!?

Empty, inside a hall forged from an unknown alloy.

The light sphere, suspended and restrained by six mechanical arms, was clearly the spirit energy core.

"Lin Dui!?"

"This can't be our base, can it!!?"

Covered in blood, Zhang Tie stood behind him, mouth agape, watching the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before his eyes.

Unbelievable.

He even saw a similarly shaped table placed in the distant conference hall.
