Chapter 626
Jie Ming had long expected that he would become a target; after all, he was currently the only person in the Barrier without a law solidification domain.
The graffiti's attack surged like a tide.
Dozens of graffiti human figures appeared in the air, each of them distorting Jie Ming's image.
Some tried to twist his neck, some tried to tear his body apart, some tried to extract something from his body.
For such an attack, Jie Ming's reaction was quite flat.
He didn't open any special protection, didn't cast any defensive wizardry, and didn't even stand up from the stone edge of the fountain.
He just sat there, using his soul and flesh to bear the graffiti anomaly's attack one hundred percent.
Because of this, Jie Ming could feel the characteristics of that power more clearly.
He looked at his arm with some surprise, silently experiencing this power.
Unlike conventional elemental strikes, this power was something more subtle.
It was like modifying the "settings" of one's own arm.
This was a questioning of "existence" itself!
The graffiti anomaly was not attacking him, but "rewriting" him.
It tried to tell the attacked person, you are not what you are now, you should become another look.
But Jie Ming's body was much tougher than it imagined.
After forging the true body, the body-refining method that merged with instinct showed its terrifying aspect at this moment.
When facing this unprecedented way of attack, Jie Ming's true body completed adaptive evolution at a staggering speed.
Even the first attack failed to cause an effective effect; it just produced one injury and was adapted by Jie Ming's body, and then immunized.
Jie Ming's body completed the resistance evolution to the graffiti anomaly's attack method in an instant, making the graffiti anomaly's instruction of "you should become another look" meaningless.
I received your instruction, but I don't agree.
So it's invalid.
Jie Ming opened his eyes, and dark golden light flashed across his pupils.
He stretched out his right hand.
That pale finger suspended in the air was dragged over by an invisible force and landed steadily in his palm.
The finger trembled slightly in his palm, and the liquid in the fingernails soaked his skin.
Salty.
But just as Jie Ming tasted a bit of saltiness, his body also automatically evolved and immunized against this curse.
"The speed of this evolution is faster than I expected at first."
Jie Ming shook his head and took out a test tube from his internal cave heaven.
That was the container used to store the origin of the plane, cast from special crystal, with the inner wall plated with a formation capable of isolating law penetration.
For creatures like anomalies that can dissolve into rules, this is the best sealing container.
He opened the seal of the test tube, stuffed the salty finger in, and resealed it.
The blue light inside the test tube flickered and then stabilized.
The salty finger lay quietly in the test tube, motionless, like an exhibit put into a museum.
"Salty finger sealed." Jie Ming suspended the test tube beside him and looked up at the graffiti still constantly changing in the air. "Continue shrinking the Barrier. Force this big guy out too."
"Understood."
Thus the Barrier continued to shrink.
With the shrinking of the diameter, the graffiti anomaly's reaction became more and more intense.
The graffiti in the air had increased to a nearly crazy degree; hundreds of images emerged simultaneously, changed simultaneously, dissipated simultaneously, and then new ones appeared simultaneously.
Colors exploded, intertwined, and merged in the air, forming a piece of chaotic visual noise.
When the Barrier diameter shrank to ten meters, the graffiti anomaly finally could no longer maintain that pure conceptual state.
Its "body" began to manifest in the air.
That was something without a fixed form.
Its surface was covered with constantly changing graffiti, switching patterns every second, from portraits to animals to abstract graphics to symbols that were completely incomprehensible.
The volume was about the size of a carriage, and the shape was like a crumpled piece of paper, with the edges constantly extending outward and retracting, as if testing the boundaries of the Barrier.
Seeing that the main owner finally appeared, Jie Ming also stood up.
He looked up at that chaotic existence, his gaze as calm as looking at a sample on an experimental table.
"Shrink again." He said.
"If you shrink again, it will touch you." The dark-blue-robed wizard's voice came from above.
"I want it to touch me."
The Barrier continued to shrink.
Diameter eight meters, six meters, five meters——
That graffiti anomaly was almost touching the top of Jie Ming's head.
Graffiti tentacles constantly extended from its surface, attempting to touch Jie Ming's body.
But every time it touched, those tentacles would retract quickly as if burned.
The resistance evolved by the body-refining method made Jie Ming's body like a piece of red-hot iron to the graffiti anomaly.
Jie Ming raised his left hand.
From the shoulder, the color of the skin changed.
From normal skin color to a deep dark gold, as if injected with the metallic luster of some ancient power.
The lines of the muscles became more distinct under the dark golden skin, and faint rune patterns appeared on the joints of the fingers.
Local true body manifestation.
He did not fully reveal that thousand-meter-high Void Refinement true body, just turned his left hand into the form of the true body.
In the state of the true body, he himself is an "information-based organism."
At the "biological" level, he in the true body state is a similar organism to these anomalies that merge into rules.
Facing Jie Ming's change, the graffiti anomaly seemed to feel danger.
It began to retreat frantically, but the Barrier had already shrunk to only five meters in diameter, leaving it nowhere to retreat.
Those graffiti tentacles waved wildly in the air, attempting to create some chaos to distract Jie Ming, but Jie Ming's gaze was always locked on its core.
That dark golden left hand probed into the "body" of the graffiti anomaly.
Jie Ming could feel that touch, like grasping a mass of viscous semi-fluid.
Those constantly changing graffiti struggled and twisted between his fingers, attempting to escape.
But the dark golden fingers were like five iron pliers, firmly grasping it.
Then, Jie Ming raised another arm that was also locally manifested into the true body.
Clenched his fist, smashed down!
Slap!
The surface of the graffiti anomaly exploded with chaotic colors, like a shattered kaleidoscope.
Two punches.
It emitted a sound that was not a sound; that was a scream that exploded directly at the level of consciousness.
There was no language in that scream, only the fear of being driven to a desperate situation.
One punch after another.
Jie Ming's movements were precise and efficient, and every punch hit the most core position of the graffiti anomaly.
The areas where the causal lines were densest, the graffiti changed most frequently, and the energy fluctuations were most intense.
The graffiti anomaly was beaten and constantly shrank, its volume shrinking from the size of a carriage to the size of a millstone, and then from the size of a millstone to the size of a washbasin.
Those constantly changing graffiti began to become sluggish, and the colors were no longer vivid, like an old painting that had faded.
It began to tremble.
Jie Ming could feel that trembling; it was a fear from instinct.
This anomaly was currently curled up in his dark golden palm, like a cat held by the back of its neck.
High in the sky, the eight Tier 6 wizards witnessed the whole process.
"This——" The young witch opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Tsk tsk tsk——" The burly wizard rubbed his eyes. "It seems this one is very good at biochemical modification——"
"No law solidification domain, no energy protection, just used his body to hard-carry the graffiti's attack, and then beat it into a ball." The thin wizard couldn't help but widen his eyes. "This body resistance is stronger than mine."
The wizards were not surprised by Jie Ming's strength, but by his behavior.
What Jie Ming could do, they could also do, but the premise was to do a good job of protection.
Facing such a special creature that can merge into laws, relying purely on physical contact——what is the difference between that and touching nuclear radiation without wearing a protective suit?!
The dark-blue-robed wizard was silent for a few seconds, then said softly: "Continue shrinking the Barrier. Help him suppress that thing."
Thus the Barrier continued to shrink.
The volume of the graffiti anomaly had been compressed to the size of a basketball, the graffiti on the surface was still changing, but the speed had slowed to once per second, and the patterns changed each time were much the same: a curled up, shivering human figure.
Jie Ming's two hands closed, holding the graffiti anomaly in his palms, rubbing it hard like kneading dough.
Those graffiti tentacles attempting to escape were crushed one by one by his fingers, and those concepts attempting to re-diffuse were pressed back by the power of his true body.
Finally, the graffiti anomaly was rolled into a ball by him.
A ball the size of a fist with blurred graffiti traces still remaining on the surface.
It no longer struggled, no longer trembled, just stayed quietly in Jie Ming's palm, like a tamed wild beast.
Jie Ming took out another container from his internal cave heaven.
That was a vessel specially used to carry law materials; he opened the lid of the container, stuffed the graffiti ball in, and then sealed it.
The surface of the container flickered with the light of runes, and then returned to calm.
Two sealing containers were suspended in mid-air in the fountain square, one containing a pale finger, and one containing a curled-up graffiti ball.
They rotated quietly under the amber light, like two pieces of art that had just been completed.
Clapping his hands, Jie Ming walked out of the Barrier.
His hands had returned from dark gold to normal skin color, and no traces of the battle just now could be seen.
He walked to the edge of the Barrier, looked back at the two suspended containers, and then nodded to the wizards high in the sky.
"Can be sealed."
"7"
The eight Tier 6 wizards took action simultaneously.
The Barrier transformed into a sealing spell at this moment, pressing toward the two containers from all directions.
The surface of the energy barrier appeared with dense runes, firmly locking the two containers inside.
Soon, the sealing was completed.
The dark-blue-robed wizard slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Jie Ming.
He looked at the two containers, then at Jie Ming, and was silent for a few seconds: "Well done."
"Thank you for the compliment."
