Chapter 403: Strenuous Check

###

The monster's crystallized shell glimmered a sinister bronze hue in the dragon flame; when Ao Li's World‑cutting Blade struck the same scale for the seventh time, the blade's edge no longer spewed sparks but black slime mixed with fragments of Brain Fluid—these liquids solidified on impact into living script from the Gui Xu Embryonic Treasury, serpentine characters coiling around everyone's ankles, trying to rewrite combat memories.

"Kan Position, reinforce defense!" Xuan Yuan Hao's manifested divine beast snarled ferociously, its claw tips tearing open the intersecting scar on the monster's side abdomen. Within the wound, the suddenly erupting black stone veins rapidly lengthened, coiling around its forelimb like vessels, pumping the beast's century‑refined essence blood into the monster's internal embryonic factory. Zixiao Realman's sword light flashed like lightning; the moment Taiyi Pure Light severed the veins, the broken ends spewed the Golden Pill residue of a Lingxiao Sect disciple.

【Gui Xu Stomach Sac】

Lín Jìn's Star Sand right hand suddenly Quantum Leaps, piercing three dimensions to thrust straight into the monster's thorax. Nirvana Fire, at the instant it contacts the core of the chaotic spirit marrow, a silver‑haired infant's phantom leaps from the flame; with a light fingertip tap, the monster's stomach sac becomes transparent—three hundred unfinished sand scorpion remnants melt into Star Sand, each grain bearing the visage of an Allied soldier.

"It's reshaping ammunition with our cognition!" Gongshu Yue's mechanism box ejects a Mo School Peering Sky Mirror; the mirror surface reflects a horrifying truth: the monster's forehead Astral Instrument is synchronizing battle data to the North Star Tower, and for each degree the tower's tip rotates, an extra Compound Eye of a nursery infant opens.

【Inverse Scale Resonance】

Ao Li's Inverse Scale trembles from stress, the chaotic spirit marrow flowing backward along the spine. She suddenly spins, leaping onto the monster's crown, and the World‑cutting Blade pierces a gap in the Astral Instrument's scale. The blade's edge emits a sucking sensation, and the silver‑haired infant's giggle erupts across the spirit platform: "Little Dragon Girl sister's Brain Fluid is the New God's favorite dessert~"

Xuan Yuan Hao's divine beast body suddenly rises upright, its talons clutching the monster's crystallized eye socket. At the moment the beast's eye meets the Astral Instrument's scale, his bloodline memory is suddenly corrupted—seeing an ancestor voluntarily plunge into the Gui Xu Ronglu, forging his spine into the First Generation Abyss Return Ruler in a humiliating scene.

【Flame of Succession】

"Mo School disciples, perform the 'Heavenly Craft Weeping Blood'!" Gongshu Yue's mechanized arm suddenly disassembles, three thousand barbed bronze rivets rain down into the monster's joints. Each rivet's tail is attached to her nerve bundle that has turned to Star Sand; the excruciating pain transforms into a Data Torrent that counter‑attacks the Astral Instrument. The nursery's surveillance feed suddenly flickers with static, and the Compound Eyes on the foreheads of three hundred infants simultaneously exude bloody tears.

A Lingxiao Sect disciple seizes the chance to cast a "Taiyi Demon‑Sealing Seal", and Qingxu cuts open his palm, the Blood Talisman drawing the meridian map of the Dragon Clan's sacred remains in the void. When the final stroke lands on the monster's central acupoint, Ao Li's chaotic spirit marrow suddenly resonates, and within the World‑cutting Blade's blue flash appears the dying neural pulse of the Time Whale—an ancient Pinqü that transcends dimensions.

【Momentary Rift】

The monster's thousand legs suddenly spasm, its crystallized shell fading to a ghastly white under the Time Whale's Pinqü. Lín Jìn's Nirvana Fire seizes the moment to incinerate the Star Sand projectile chain, and Xuan Yuan Hao's talons finally tear open the chest armor, revealing a pulsating black stone embryo at the core. Gongshu Yue's remaining mechanized arm suddenly self‑detonates, the shockwave jolting the embryo out through a three‑inch fissure.

"Now!" Ao Li's Inverse Scale completely detaches, transforming into three hundred sixty golden rays that pierce the fissure. When her fingertip contacts the embryo's surface, the silver‑haired infant's wail pierces twelve layers of dimensions: "That's my toy!"

The black stone embryo suddenly swells into a jade basin phantom, its amniotic fluid back‑flowing onto the battlefield. The surviving team members abruptly kneel en masse, their old scars quantum‑reassembling into the palm print of a black‑haired infant. From the direction of the North Star Tower comes a clear children's song, the Astral Instrument's scale freezes at 99.9%—just one strand of cognitive contamination short, and the New God will burst forth from the broken womb.
