Chapter 264 Monsters Run Rampant
A colossal, fleshy monster, over twenty feet tall, stood in the center of the dense forest. Its bloated and twisted body completely blocked out the last glimmer of light in the sky, pushing the oppressive atmosphere of the dark ancient forest to its extreme.
Layers of writhing, fleshy tumors piled up and rose and fell, each tumor seemingly possessing its own ferocious life, constantly swelling, contracting, twisting, and pulsating. Countless scarlet monster eyes covered every corner of the torso, shoulders, and arms, their cold, bloodthirsty pupils fixedly locked onto two tiny figures in front of them, brimming with endless malice.
Thick, black pus slowly seeped from the gaps in the flesh, and the moment it dripped onto the ground, it corroded and produced a sizzling, black smoke. If a drop of it touched the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, it would instantly carbonize and peel off, revealing the charred wood inside, which would turn into a pool of turbid poison in just a few breaths.
The monster was surrounded by a thick, boundless aura of annihilation. Wherever it passed, vegetation withered and life ceased. Even the cold winds flowing through the forest were frozen by this malevolent energy, and the entire world seemed to have become a death domain belonging only to it.
The three Fallen Ones, slumped at the monster's feet, were already exhausted and their bodies were in extreme decay.
Their faces were ashen, their lips were cracked and purple, their muscles were shriveled and loose, and their originally grayish-black skin was now dull and lifeless, as if all their vitality had been drained away.
Even so, their gazes toward the flesh-and-blood monster were still filled with an almost manic fervor and twisted excitement, as if they had seen a savior descend.
"It's done! It's finally done!"
The burly Fallen One, clinging to his last ounce of strength, roared to the sky, his hoarse voice sharp and piercing with overwhelming agitation.
"This is the ultimate power bestowed upon us by the organization! Weren't you so powerful? Weren't you supposed to crush us? Now, before this flesh-and-blood monster, you're not even ants!"
"Kill them! Tear them apart! Incorporate their flesh and blood into your own body!"
The three men's desperate roars echoed through the deathly silent forest, carrying the madness of a do-or-die mentality and the obsession of a desperate gamble.
They exhausted most of their essence, even risking their own divine souls, to bring this forbidden monster to life. At this moment, all their hope, all their hatred, and all their resentment are placed on this flesh-and-blood demon.
Facing this terrifying monster whose aura far exceeded the combined power of the three Fallen Ones, Lin Yuan and An Xin showed no panic whatsoever; on the contrary, they became even more composed.
With a slight movement of their feet, the two instantly and tacitly leaned back to back, forming the most stable offensive and defensive formation, completely entrusting their backs to each other.
This is absolute trust forged through countless life-and-death battles; no words are needed, a single glance is enough to understand each other's hearts.
Lin Yuan gripped the Divine Firmament Demon-Slaying Sword tightly in his right hand. The ancient peach wood blade was now surrounded by rich golden dragon energy and thunder and fire power. Its extremely yang and strong aura continued to rise, standing up against the monster's yin and evil aura.
The ancient dragon king bloodline within him was quietly boiling, and golden dragon patterns were faintly visible beneath his skin. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, locking onto every movement of the flesh and blood monster, taking in all the fluctuations in its aura and the flow of energy.
Anxin held the sniper rifle steadily with one hand, the gun body enveloped in layers of pale golden divine light.
Her gaze swept quickly across the monster's dense array of scarlet eyes. Her brain raced, instantly marking the core eye with the strongest energy fluctuations. She anticipated the monster's attack trajectory, her finger lightly resting on the trigger, ready to deliver a precise and fatal blow at any moment.
Two small yet upright figures did not flinch under the oppressive aura of the colossal creature. Their fighting spirit was awe-inspiring, like a drawn sword, calmly facing the attacking demon.
Roar! ! !
The next instant, a deafening roar suddenly exploded!
This roar was not an ordinary sonic shock, but a pure soul vibration, carrying endless fierce resentment, slaughterful ferocity and annihilation will, transforming into an invisible black spiritual storm that swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami, rushing straight towards Lin Yuan and An Xin's sea of consciousness!
An invisible spiritual pressure suddenly descended like a towering mountain, causing the air to freeze instantly. The ancient trees around were shaken by this spiritual force, and their branches and leaves fell off one after another.
Ordinary players, faced with such a soul-shaking experience, would instantly become disoriented, their bodies stiff and rigid, completely losing their ability to resist and leaving them at the mercy of the monster.
Even some of the more powerful players will be so shocked that they lose their composure and expose fatal flaws.
An Xin's brows furrowed suddenly, and a sharp, intense pain shot through her mind, as if countless steel needles were piercing her consciousness. Her vision went black, and she nearly dropped the sniper rifle from her hand.
She let out a muffled groan, her body swayed slightly, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Stay calm! Don't let it affect you!" Lin Yuan shouted in a deep voice, his voice booming like thunder in An Xin's mind, instantly dispelling most of the drowsiness.
At the same time, Lin Yuan activated his mental skill – Mental Pierce!
The divine soul power that was originally contained within the sea of consciousness erupted instantly, transforming into a golden spiritual blade that was condensed to the extreme and incomparably sharp. Like an arrow released from a bow, it went straight towards the dark spiritual storm sweeping in front of it.
Unlike passive defense, mental penetration focuses on extreme breakthroughs and disintegration, breaking through the surface with a single point and forcefully tearing apart the opponent's mental confinement.
boom!
The invisible spiritual forces collided and annihilated violently in mid-air.
The dark and violent demonic spirit trembled and collided with Lin Yuan's refined, pure, and supremely yang piercing soul. Like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, it instantly shattered layer by layer and disintegrated rapidly.
The fierce and malevolent aura that was powerful enough to shatter the consciousness of ordinary players was utterly powerless before the overwhelming divine soul power, and was instantly dissolved.
In just a moment, the soul-shaking aura surrounding the two was completely dispelled.
Anxin's dizziness and throbbing pain instantly dissipated, and her mind returned to clarity. She took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her state, and steadily raised the sniper rifle again, her sharpness undiminished.
The flesh behemoth's massive body paused slightly, its countless scarlet eyes flashing violently at the same time, emitting a low, painful groan.
It clearly did not expect that its invincible soul roar would not only be easily broken, but also injured by the opponent's mental counterattack.
This made its already violent nature even more frenzied, and the murderous aura around it surged several times over.
The next moment, the monster launched its second attack!
The countless crimson eyes covering its entire body simultaneously lit up with a blinding dark red light. Each eye was frantically gathering pure annihilating demonic energy, and the deep pupils churned with the power to destroy everything, like miniature black holes.
The air was sucked dry by this magical energy, making a hissing sound, and the surrounding space began to distort slightly.
