Chapter 199

The unfolding of the Weird Divine Realm was like throwing a piece of cold ice into a boiling oil pot, instantly changing the battlefield's aura.

Within the two-hundred-meter radius domain, the grayish mist twisted and writhed; low, weird whispers penetrated everywhere, frantically assaulting the already chaotic consciousness of all Corrupted Derivatives.

The Fear Aura originating from the soul level made their violent movements show obvious stagnation and chaos; some weak derivatives even began to tremble and retreat uncontrollably, biting each other.

"Now! Attack!" Queen Aister's clear, cold voice carried a hint of excitement as she nocked her bow first; a condensed, substance-like moonlight arrow shot toward the Corrupted Nest Mother's massive flesh-mountain body like a meteor.

The Copperbeard Clan Chief roared, personally controlling a giant crossbow modified with Dwarf Technical Modification; the thick crossbow bolt shimmered with the light of Anti-Magic Runes, whistling shrilly as it left the string!

On the City Wall of Guangtan Fortress, all still‑able ranged units focused their fire on that nauseating massive target.

Arrows, crossbow bolts and sporadic Elemental Spells fell upon the Corrupted Nest Mother's body like raindrops, exploding into clumps of nauseating pus and flesh.

Although these attacks were like mosquito bites to its massive body, when combined they still made it feel pain… and provoked fury!

The dark‑green Core at the Corrupted Nest Mother's center pulsed violently; more tentacles flailed wildly, spraying dense Spore Bombs and Corrosion Rays, trying to suppress the defenders' ranged fire. Meanwhile, the Super‑large Aggregates around it let out silent roars, charging even more frantically at the Shadowy Thorns' blockade to ease the Mother's pressure.

However, under the Weird Divine Realm's suppression, their actions were all weakened and disturbed to varying degrees.

Li Qingxuan stood at the domain's center, his black hair fluttering without wind, an aura that made hearts race spreading around him.

His Spiritual Power was being consumed at an unprecedented rate; maintaining the domain's second stage to counter the Corrupted Nest Mother's massive mental pollution was also a huge burden for him.

But his gaze remained cold and focused.

He did not rush to attack the Nest Mother's main body, but turned his gaze to the Super‑large Aggregates entangled with the Shadowy Thorns.

He raised his hand, fingers loosely clenched.

Within the domain, the gray mist surged; several Soul Arrows, far more solid than before and wrapped in black lightning, instantly coalesced.

Whoosh—

These enhanced Soul Arrows were faster, had greater penetration, and carried a hint of the Weird Divine Realm's rule‑power!

They ignored physical barriers, piercing precisely into the cores of several Super‑large Aggregates locked in struggle with the Shadowy Thorns and unable to divert attention—the energy nodes that linked to the Nest Mother's main body and pulsed with power!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The energy nodes struck by the Soul Arrows instantly burst, dark‑green energy spraying out like blood!

Those few Super‑large Aggregates' massive bodies jerked rigid, then let out a silent, miserable wail; their movements turned stiff and chaotic, and their energy link to the Nest Mother's main body was forcibly severed.

How could the frenziedly devouring Shadowy Thorns pass up such a good chance?

The deep‑purple vines, like sharks smelling blood, surged forward in an instant, their sharp mouthparts boring into the energy‑depleted, now‑fragile aggregates' bodies, frantically tearing and devouring!

This time, the devouring speed was astonishingly fast!

In just a few breaths, those massive aggregates withered and collapsed at visible speed, ultimately turning into lifeless, foul sludge that the Shadowy Thorns completely absorbed.

The Shadowy Thorn Main Vine's color deepened to near‑black, its surface flowing with dark‑red energy like boiling magma; its aura surged at astonishing speed, even faintly exuding a ferocity that made Li Qingxuan's heart race.

Devouring those aggregates directly supplied by the Nest Mother was a great tonic for them!

One's loss is the other's gain!

The Corrupted Nest Mother seemed to sense the swift demise of its offspring and the rising threat of the Shadowy Thorns; its massive flesh‑body writhed violently, its central Core pulsing faster and sending out violent mental waves.

It no longer heeded the defenders' ranged harassment, focusing almost all its attention on Li Qingxuan and the Weird Divine Realm he had unfolded!

Several of its thickest tentacles shot up, aiming straight at Li Qingxuan at the domain's center!

At the same time, a vaster, purer corrupt will, like an invisible tsunami, slammed hard into the Weird Divine Realm, trying to crush it with absolute force!

"Li Qingxuan!" Huang Rong exclaimed, her figure instantly emerging from the shadows!

Chen Xiulan gritted her teeth, firing the last few Enchanted Arrows at the tentacles' bases.

Boom!!!

The tentacles collided with the Weird Divine Realm and the arrows, bursting forth a violent shockwave!

Chen Xiulan's arrows, however, vanished like a mud ox into the sea, causing no effective damage.

And that massive corrupt will also slammed hard against the Weird Divine Realm's barrier!

Hum—

The entire domain shuddered violently, the gray mist churning without cease, even its edges showing fine cracks!

Li Qingxuan's body jerked, his face instantly paling a shade, but the light in his eyes grew sharper!

"Hah! A spent force!" he snorted coldly, forcing his stance steady and channeling Spiritual Power to reinforce the domain.

He could feel that although the Corrupted Nest Mother's strike was fierce, it also consumed a large amount of its energy.

He had to seize this chance to deliver a fatal blow!

He raised his hand again; this time it was not a Soul Arrow.

The gray mist of the Weird Divine Realm surged madly into his palm, compressing until it formed a black, foot‑long spear that seemed able to swallow all light… the Weird Spear!

This spear gathered most of the Weird Divine Realm's current power, containing the ultimate aura of death and annihilation!

Li Qingxuan locked onto the dark‑green Core that pulsed more violently from panic, and with all his strength hurled the Spear of Annihilation!

There was no earth‑shaking spectacle—just a faint black stream of light, almost blending into the gray mist, flashing by.

The next instant, amid the Corrupted Nest Mother's desperate mental undulations, the black stream of light struck the huge dark‑green Core dead on!

Crack—

A clear, glass‑shattering crack rang out across the battlefield and into the hearts of every being watching this duel.

The Corrupted Nest Mother's massive body jerked rigid, a clear crack appearing on its central Core and quickly spreading.

Within the crack, no energy burst forth—only endless darkness and dead silence seeped out; wherever it passed, the massive flesh‑mountain, like weathered sand, rapidly lost vitality and turned to ash.

Its struggle ceased, its tentacles limp, and its nauseating corrupt odor receded like a tide.

Corrupted Nest Mother, Core shattered, life cut off!

With the Nest Mother's death, the remaining Corrupted Derivatives on the battlefield, like machines deprived of power, froze instantly, then collapsed, their bodies quickly withering and decomposing into the most primal corrupt matter.

The gray‑green mist filling heaven and earth began to slowly dissipate.

The Corruption Tide Disaster that had lasted several days finally……ended with the Nest Mother's defeat.

On the battlefield, a deathly silence.

Only the Shadowy Thorns, still not finished, emitted faint sounds as they devoured the lingering corrupt matter, and the garrison troops, having survived the catastrophe, let out ragged, heavy breaths.

Li Qingxuan slowly withdrew the Weird Divine Realm; his body swayed slightly, and an intense fatigue surged like a tide.

Huang Rong and Li Jing hurried forward to support him.

Sunlight finally pierced through the thin corrupt mist, bathing this ravaged land, shining upon the still-standing Triangular Defense Zone, and upon the desolate battlefield outside the city, now devoid of life.

They had held the line.
