Chapter 311 - 162: Great Desolate Starfall, Stunning Everyone
Next, dozens of Stone Ghost Race members, their wings severed, were also treated as offerings and roughly tossed into the mouth of the divine statue.
The statue’s massive mouth slowly closed.
The moment the maw sealed shut, the tenacious Stone Ghost Race members were crushed and dissolved by an unseen force.
They were ultimately reduced to a thick, bloody ooze that seeped slowly from the cracks at the corners of the statue’s mouth, dripping onto the altar and trickling down into the Magma Lake below with a sizzling sound.
The scene was utterly evil and gruesome.
Below the altar, hundreds of the Eight-armed Race trembled with excitement. They kowtowed fanatically, burying their heads low as if on a pilgrimage to witness the world’s greatest miracle.
Just then, the final batch of offerings was brought forward.
When Nie Cang and the other five saw what was in the cage, their faces instantly turned ashen.
Imprisoned inside were the very targets of their rescue mission: the three missing training camp cadets!
"ROAR!!"
Chieftain Kargath let out a deafening roar.
The two members of his Personal Guard standing by his side immediately stepped forward and violently ripped open the iron cage.
They dragged out the three cadets, who had already lost the ability to resist, and lifted them high.
Then, with all their might, they hurled them toward the statue’s once-again open maw!
The three figures traced a parabola through the air, landing squarely inside.
The statue’s massive mouth began to close once more.
"No!"
A young instructor’s eyes widened in fury, and he instinctively started to charge forward.
Nie Cang grabbed his shoulder with a grip so strong it nearly crushed the bone.
"It’s too late."
There was no trace of emotion in Nie Cang’s voice, but his eyes, fixed on the altar, were already bloodshot.
He wanted to save them, but with hundreds of meters separating them, blocked by hundreds, if not thousands, of fanatical aliens, it was impossible. Even if he risked his life, there was no way he could rescue the three before the mouth closed.
He would only be putting his own men in grave danger.
Nie Cang closed his eyes. ’I need to think about how to handle the aftermath for these three cadets, how to explain this to their families.’
However, in the split second before the stone mouth sealed completely and crushed the three cadets into paste, something unexpected happened.
A blur, so fast it was nearly impossible to track, flashed past with extreme stealth and silently slipped into the closing mouth.
The statue’s massive mouth sealed shut completely.
...
Lin Ye’s gaze was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.
At the very moment all the members of the Eight-armed Race bowed their heads in devotion, he maintained a state of perfect invisibility, his entire body and the Star-Piercing Spear covered in Shadow Scale, and leaped from the top of the hundred-meter-tall statue.
As he leaped, he instantly unclasped the tactical bracelet from his right wrist and flicked it toward the statue’s great mouth.
[Spatial Fold activated. Countdown: 1 second.]
And that one-second gap was all it took.
That single moment when all of the Eight-armed Race, including Chieftain Kargath, were prostrate on the ground, not daring to look upon their god as it fed.
It was the perfect moment for an assassination!
Lin Ye’s thoughts raced. ’Phase 2, engage!’
Frenzy, activated!
BOOM!
In his Dantian Qi Sea, the jujube-pit-sized, solid gold Gangsha Core violently swelled to nearly twice its size in an instant, its brilliant golden light threatening to burst from his body!
Then, just as quickly, the Gangsha Core, now expanded to its limit, suddenly collapsed, shrinking to almost half its original volume!
The exchange flooded the meridians in Lin Ye’s arms with an unprecedented, impossibly pure liquid: Flowing Gang!
The golden Gang Sha enveloping the Star-Piercing Spear took on an almost transparent, crystalline texture!
The power of this single spear strike was countless times more terrifying than the strongest attack he could previously unleash by channeling all his Qi and Blood!
A hundred-plus meters of vertical distance, compressed in an instant by the combination of gravitational acceleration and Lin Ye’s unrestrained explosive power!
He covered a hundred meters as if he had teleported!
Lin Ye timed it perfectly. Just as he was about to reach Chieftain Kargath...
...the killing intent that had been building to its peak inside him erupted without reservation!
The black Shadow Scale covering his body instantly receded!
In its place, a layer of dense, hexagonal, purple crystals instantly formed at the tip of the Star-Piercing Spear, illuminated by the brilliant golden light!
[Crystalization]!
BOOM—!!!
The spear’s intent arrived before the spear itself!
A devastating shockwave, like the hammer of a god, slammed into the center of the altar!
The six members of the Personal Guard flanking Chieftain Kargath didn’t even have a chance to look up.
Their formidable bodies were torn apart by the terrifying spear intent, exploding into a thick mist of blood!
The hard surface of the altar caved in around the Chieftain’s position, forming a terrifying crater over ten meters in diameter as countless spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions!
"?"
The world-shattering commotion finally snapped the bowing Chieftain Kargath out of his reverence.
It snapped its head up, and its crimson eyes reflected the image of a spear tip wreathed in endless golden light and an aura of destruction.
Like a meteor fallen from the heavens.
But it was too late!
For the current Lin Ye, a distance of less than ten meters didn’t even require time.
[Instant Body]!
Lin Ye’s figure seemed to delete space itself, crossing the final distance with the spear that carried all his remaining power.
This strike held nothing back.
This strike contained his all.
This strike was Lin Ye’s current, ultimate, peak attack!
