Chapter 363: Little Pink Mushroom Shows Its Might
After a round of verification, it was ultimately confirmed that what Feng Tianyun had said was correct. The giant serpent transformation was indeed Zhou Ming's profession ability.
"Then what exactly is that bizarre monster?"
As expected of Military Headquarters, someone immediately began analyzing the available clues and produced the fastest possible conclusion.
"Report. According to the Military Intelligence Division's analysis, it should be a special lifeform born from the Supernatural Resurgence."
"As for more detailed intelligence, because the current clues are limited, we're unable to provide a more accurate conclusion for the time being."
Upon hearing this report, the military's senior officials all became grim.
After all, no one had expected the Supernatural Resurgence to undergo such an enormous change.
Just as the military was in the middle of its discussion, the image displayed on the giant screen mounted on the wall changed once again.
Outside Xiaolin Base, Zhou Ming, transformed into the Spirit Molting Giant Serpent, was blasted backward several hundred meters by the terrifying impact.
Fortunately, every aspect of his abilities had already matured. Otherwise, even if he had managed to block the attack, he would undoubtedly have suffered serious injuries.
"Shadow Devour."
Seeing the Abomination monster charging once again with its gigantic axe raised, the shadows on the ground transformed into a colossal serpent's maw, attempting to drag the Abomination into an unknown shadow space.
Facing the serpent's maw erupting from the ground, the Abomination immediately swung the gigantic axe in its hands. The rust-covered blade instantly erupted with gray radiance, splitting the abyss-like serpent's maw cleanly in two.
However, the shadow serpent's maw had been created through a spell. Under Zhou Ming's control, it instantly transformed into two enormous shadow serpents, which bit down on the Abomination's thighs from both sides.
The mindless Abomination had failed to guard against the attack in time, allowing Zhou Ming's spell to successfully restrain it.
The shadows on the ground flowed like liquid, gradually dragging the Abomination into the darkness.
"Roar..."
Faced with the situation before it, the Abomination let out a furious roar. The gray pollution halo surrounding its body flashed brilliantly as it forcibly broke free from the restraints of the shadow serpents.
The flesh on its thighs was torn apart.
Dark-yellow liquid dripped from the rotting flesh, while twisted spirit entities could be seen crawling out from within the decaying meat.
The unknown dark-yellow liquid clearly possessed terrifying corrosive properties.
Even the fleshless shadow serpents were corroded by it.
The Abomination swung its gigantic axe once more, the gray power of pollution surging from it as it attempted to completely destroy the shadow serpents.
However, Zhou Ming was hardly standing by as a spectator.
Naturally, he would never allow it to succeed.
"Blood Descendant Secret Technique, Phantom Snake Hands."
Before the Abomination could complete its swing, a blood-colored serpent phantom hundreds of meters long burst out from the Spirit Molting Giant Serpent's body, its enormous form wrapping itself around the Abomination once again.
Mysterious runes flickered across the blood-colored serpent phantom's scales.
Sealing.
Suppression.
Restraint.
Immense Strength.
The combined effects left the Abomination completely unable to move.
The serpent phantom's tail remained connected to the Spirit Molting Giant Serpent that Zhou Ming had transformed into, continuously supplying bloodline power to ensure the spell's strength did not diminish in the slightest.
Faced with such a predicament, the Abomination seemed to realize something.
Using the blood-colored serpent phantom as a medium, the pollution power within its body surged along the phantom toward Zhou Ming like a tidal wave.
At the same time, chaotic energy accompanied by countless murmurs began interfering with Zhou Ming's will.
"Dark-gold Serpent Pupils · Throne Power."
"Snake Race Enhancement · Bloodline Will."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Ming activated the power of the Dark-gold Serpent Pupils.
An ominous radiance bloomed within his enormous serpent eyes.
The gigantic blood-colored crown above his head began drawing upon the power of the race.
Within the manifested Serpent Paradise, the Spirit Molting Serpents and Ironthread Snakes lent their Spiritual Consciousness to Zhou Ming.
Meanwhile, as the blood-colored serpent phantom endured the erosion of the pollution power, its almost tangible body began shedding scales, while its form gradually turned dark yellow.
If this continued, even if Zhou Ming's consciousness remained unaffected, the pollution power would still invade his body.
Without hesitation, Zhou Ming immediately activated the ability of the Inkband.
The shadow power contained within the serpent phantom suddenly manifested an ice-sealing attribute, instantly preventing the pollution power from continuing to erode the blood-colored serpent phantom.
Seeing that the crisis had been temporarily resolved, Zhou Ming immediately seized the opportunity and cast his innate spell, Shadow Devour, once again.
Empowered by his formidable Spiritual Power and bloodline enhancement, the shadows covering the ground instantly went berserk.
Like towering waves, they surged skyward, transforming into an enormous serpent's maw that swallowed the Abomination whole.
With the assistance of the blood-colored serpent phantom and the restraint provided by the two shadow serpents, the Abomination was dragged into the unknown shadow space with unstoppable force.
The destruction of the Abomination seemed to inflict severe damage upon the unknown existence within the dense mist.
The hazy mist, which had maintained its illusory form, reverted to a tangible state.
Zhou Ming attacked again.
However, when the Spirit Molting Giant Serpent opened its jaws this time, what emerged was no longer the sinister purple flower, but clusters of illusory pink mushrooms.
Although the sight looked somewhat comical, the effect they produced was astonishingly effective.
The moment the illusion-filled pink mushrooms landed upon the dense mist, it vanished into nothingness like morning dew meeting the blazing sun.
A shrill scream filled with terror immediately echoed from within the mist.
The fog continuously rolled and contracted, and the city walls of the vanished Xiaolin Base gradually emerged once again.
Although the dense mist contracted rapidly, it still failed to evade the pink mushrooms.
Parts of the mist continued disappearing into nothingness.
At this moment, Zhou Ming did not launch another attack.
Instead, he raised his head and looked toward the brilliant, moonlit starry sky.
As Lei Yuan's boyfriend, Zhou Ming naturally knew of the existence of the Heavenly Eye.
He immediately activated the Blood Descendant Secret Technique · Snake Tide Poison Miasma.
Countless black serpent phantoms blotted out the sky.
As runes flashed across their serpent scales, the innumerable black serpent phantoms combined to form an incomparably enormous barrier that isolated the area from outside observation.
At Military Headquarters, everyone was astonished by Zhou Ming's sudden action.
After all, no matter how powerful a Transcendent expert was, it was impossible to detect the Heavenly Eye Satellite orbiting in outer space.
"Zhou Ming's girlfriend is Academician Lei Yuan."
After someone quietly reminded them, everyone finally understood.
After all, the Heavenly Eye Satellite's communication technology had been completed through Lei Yuan's work.
"Dispatch personnel to Tiemu Base. Find a way to obtain intelligence from Zhou Ming, and at the same time investigate the cause behind this supernatural incident."
Before the others had even finished reacting, Xu Chunjun, who was stationed at Military Headquarters, had already begun issuing orders.
Ever since successfully advancing to High-level Transcendent Rank and assuming the position of General, he had become one of the military's absolute core leaders.
Aside from the few senior commanders stationed along the eastern and western fronts, he was now the highest-ranking authority at Military Headquarters.
Wrapped in a great cloak and carrying an aura as imposing as a mountain, he displayed little curiosity toward Zhou Ming himself.
Instead, his foremost priority was obtaining detailed information regarding the supernatural incident.
After all, even the Beast Spirit Sorcerer system of the Dark Domain followed the traceable path of necromantic power.
It was fundamentally different from supernatural phenomena, which possessed the characteristics of twisted rules.
While Military Headquarters began mobilizing, Zhou Ming, having blocked all outside surveillance, had already returned to his normal form.
Perched upon his shoulder, the adorable Little Pink Mushroom let out cheerful "ying ying" sounds, seemingly boasting to Zhou Ming about its own contribution.
