Chapter 478 Beast Tide (Part 2) [4000 words]

The rotten scale wolf's dark purple corrosive domain spread like a tide.

Wherever the domain passed, the blood-red mud on the ground was vaporized into a poisonous purple mist, and the remaining building skeletons rapidly dissolved in the corrosive energy, emitting a piercing 'sizzling' sound.

The venomous webs sprayed by the Sky-Splitter Spiders intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable white giant web. The highly toxic juices on the spider silk dripped down, corroding deep pits on the ground that emitted white smoke.

The two realms overlapped, forming a death zone covering several kilometers, completely trapping the Heavenly Dao in the center.

The Heavenly Dao's eyes narrowed, and its azure Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye instantly saw through the core flaw of the combined attack.

The Corrosion Field is responsible for erosion defense and restricting movement, while the Poisonous Web is responsible for binding and locking enemies. Both need to operate in sync to unleash their maximum power.

Disrupting the rhythm of one side will create a gap in the entire attack network.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Dao mobilized its 'infinite' characteristics and unleashed the multi-stage containment tactics that had been honed in the simulation chamber.

The next second, the azure vector force field around Tiandao suddenly surged, spreading wildly like an expanding nebula.

Its movement was so great that even the space at the edge of the vector force field rippled with subtle distortions.

A moment later, the Heavenly Dao raised its hand, and the 'infinite' characteristic within the domain instantly reached its limit.

Immediately afterwards, three distinct beams of energy burst forth from the force field.

With a sharp whooshing sound, it shot towards the junction of the corrosive field and the poisonous net from three tricky directions: left, right, and top.

These three attacks were actually stored by the Heavenly Dao not long ago after it was attacked by the 'young version of Ennet' in the simulation space.

The fist shadows, though without a sharp edge, were fierce; the 'Mountain Collapse' contained the essence of the fist; and the dark golden breath of the Taotie.

The three attacks were precisely linked together without any hesitation.

Among them, the pale golden fist shadow struck the poisonous silk net first.

Although it did not directly tear the spider silk, it created a ripple of energy on the silk like a heavy hammer striking a drum, instantly dimming the white luster of some parts of the silk and causing obvious disruption in the flow of energy.

Immediately afterwards, the golden fist shadow of the Mountain-Crushing Fist slammed into the edge of the Corrosive Domain, and the devouring property inherent in the fist shadow instantly erupted.

It was like an invisible giant mouth, suddenly tearing away a strand of dark purple corrosive energy, causing the originally spreading corrosive field to suddenly stop, and the spreading rhythm to be delayed by half a beat.

Finally, the dark golden beam of the Taotie's breath, like a jet of magma, struck precisely at the core where the two were joined, and the high-temperature energy instantly melted a piece of spider silk into blue smoke.

It also evaporates the surrounding corrosive energy into nothingness, demonstrating astonishing power.

The combined effect of the three attacks tore a gap several meters wide through the impenetrable defense network. The turbulent energy flow at the gap was firmly imprisoned by the vector force field of the Heavenly Dao, preventing it from spreading and harming anyone.

"Roar!"

The Rotten Scale Wolf and the Sky-Splitting Spider roared simultaneously.

They never expected that Heaven's Dao could find a flaw under such a tight attack and launch a precise counterattack.

Without any hesitation, Tiandao's eyes narrowed, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

His azure afterimage traced an almost instantaneous arc through the purple mist, leaving only a faint trail of light, before he instantly broke free from the encirclement of the poisonous net and the corrosive field.

Before the two star beasts could react, a small azure-blue corrosive force field condensed in his palm the instant he turned around.

He replicated the newly stored corrosive energy at 30% intensity and compressed and condensed it using vector rules, making the originally mixed corrosive energy extremely pure.

With his way, he also gave his body.

With a flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Dao unleashed a corrosive force field that, like a homing missile, precisely locked onto the abdominal node where the Sky-Splitting Spider was spraying its silk, and hurtled towards it.

The Skyspider didn't even have time to react defensively before the corrosive force field accurately hit a node on its abdomen.

"hiss!"

A piercing scream erupted instantly, and a charred wound several meters in diameter was corroded into the abdomen of the Sky-Splitter Spider. The carapace at the wound melted away completely, and dark green blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out.

Severely injured, its continuous stream of spider silk instantly ceased.

The poisonous web, deprived of its energy supply, collapsed almost entirely like a spiderweb without support, with broken silk threads falling to the ground and continuing to corrode the earth.

The Heavenly Dao's series of actions were fluid and seamless, from breaking out of the encirclement to successfully counterattacking, all within a short span of time.

Without the help of the poisonous web, the Corrosive Scale Wolf's Corrosive Domain instantly lost its restraining effect.

A cold glint flashed in Tiandao's eyes, and the azure vector lines around his body intertwined once more. This time, he activated the core killing move of the 'Infinity' characteristic—a replica of Enet's Gluttony Domain.

Infinite Core Replica, Gluttony Domain, 70% Strength!

The azure-blue Gluttony Domain of the Heavenly Dao suddenly unfolded, like a starry sky that devoured everything, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters, and collided fiercely with the dark purple Corrosive Domain of the Rotten Scale Wolf.

The moment the two domains came into contact, a blinding burst of energy light erupted.

The Devouring Nature of the Gluttony Domain erupted wildly, like a ravenous beast, biting into the Corrosive Domain of the Rotten Scale Wolf and frantically pulling and devouring the energy within.

Within the area, the air was distorted into a huge energy vortex, and the corpses of star beasts and rubble on the ground were all sucked into the vortex and instantly pulverized into dust, leaving not a trace.

Only the azure devouring power continued to grow stronger.

Seeing this, the Corrupted Scale Wolf's expression changed drastically. It could clearly feel its corrosive energy being devoured. It tried to reclaim its domain, but found that its energy was firmly locked by the Gluttony Domain, as if it were stuck in a quagmire and could not break free.

At the same time, the backlash energy flowed backward along the star source channel, causing it to tremble violently. Its dark purple scales cracked, and blood seeped from the cracks, dripping onto the ground and corroding small pits.

Meanwhile, the Sky-Splitting Spider, having finally recovered from the excruciating pain, saw the Rot Scale Wolf being firmly suppressed by the Gluttony Domain, and a hint of madness and fear flashed in its eyes.

It knew that if it could not resolve the issue of Heaven's will today, it would surely die.

Thinking of this, it immediately stopped holding back, its eight steel-like spider legs slamming into the ground, its massive body charging towards the Heavenly Dao like a cannonball.

The sharp claws at the ends of the spider legs gleamed with a cold light and carried the energy to tear apart the rules. The ground along the way was pounded into deep pits by the spider legs, and gravel flew everywhere.

Clearly, they were going all out to launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Dao and relieve the pressure on the Rotten Scale Wolf.

However, the Heavenly Dao had already predicted its actions through the Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye, and showed no panic on its face, not even turning its head.

With a casual wave of his left hand, a slender, azure-blue vector force line was drawn out.

At the same time, the 'Infinite' characteristic precisely draws upon the previously stored energy of the Sky-Splitting Spider Binding Silk, replicating it at 40% strength.

White spider silk shot out instantly from the end of the force line, several times faster than the main body of the Sky-Splitting Spider, like a white lightning bolt, precisely wrapping around the leading leg of the Sky-Splitting Spider.

The Sky-Splitting Spider never expected its own attack to be used against it. It was too late to dodge, and its legs were firmly bound by the white spider silk.

Immediately afterwards, Tiandao flicked his fingertip, and the vector force lines tightened abruptly.

Click!

The spider's legs were severed, and green blood gushed out.

"Hiss!" The Sky-Splitting Spider let out an extremely shrill hiss. The intense pain caused its massive body to freeze for a moment, and its momentum came to an abrupt halt.

Heaven seized this fleeting opportunity, and the azure vector force field around it instantly contracted, with all the energy converging into a vector force line condensed to its extreme.

This vector force line not only incorporates the high-temperature energy of the Taotie's breath and the violent energy of the Devouring Mountain-Crushing Fist, but also superimposes the penetrating characteristics of vector rules.

The three energies intertwined perfectly in the force lines, forming a killing move with four characteristics: penetration, high temperature, devouring, and tearing. The surrounding space was torn apart with tiny black cracks.

With an extremely sharp whistling sound, the vector force line instantly traversed a distance of tens of meters, precisely piercing the connection between the head and abdomen of the Sky-Splitter Spider.

The next second, the quadruple energy within the vector force lines erupted instantly.

The high-temperature energy instantly melted the head carapace of the Skyspider, the devouring energy frantically shredded its internal organs, and the penetrating and tearing energy directly severed its body from the middle.

boom!
The massive body of the Sky-Splitting Spider lost its balance and crashed heavily to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust and blood mist.

After convulsing a few times, it fell completely silent.

A large amount of green blood pooled on the ground, emitting a foul stench.

After dealing with the Sky-Splitting Spider, the Heavenly Dao turned its attention to the Rotten Scale Wolf.

At this moment, the Corrupted Scale Wolf had already had most of its energy devoured by the Gluttony Domain, its body became sluggish, and its eyes were filled with fear and despair.

It tried to escape, but was firmly held by the Gluttony Domain, and every step it took was accompanied by excruciating pain as its energy was drained.

Heaven gave it no chance to struggle. In a flash, it appeared directly in front of the Rotten Scale Wolf, the two less than three meters apart.

Dark golden light shone in his palm once again. This time, he increased the intensity of the Taotie Breath to 80%. Dark golden energy gathered wildly in his palm, forming an energy sphere the size of a basketball.

Golden flames danced on the surface of the sphere, radiating terrifying heat that scorched and distorted the surrounding air.

"ended."

The voice of Heaven was calm and even, as if it were stating a trivial matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of dark golden light shot out instantly, like a golden dragon breaking free from its restraints, carrying a world-destroying power, and accurately struck the head of the Corrupted Scale Wolf.

With a deafening roar, the rotten scale wolf's head was blasted into pieces, dark purple blood and bits of flesh splattering everywhere. Its massive body crashed to the ground, completely lifeless, without even a struggle.

With the fall of the two Cataclysmic Star Beasts, the corrosive domains and residual poisonous webs around them instantly dissipated, and the purple mist and toxic aura in the air gradually dissipated under the purification of the Heavenly Dao's vector force field.

Upon seeing this, the remaining low-level star beasts instantly fell into chaos. Without their commander, they were like headless flies, either scattering and fleeing or frantically attacking everything around them, but they could no longer pose a threat.

The Heavenly Dao hovered in mid-air, its azure vector force field spreading out once more, like a giant net covering the entire city. The energy fluctuations at the edge of the force field made the remaining low-level star beasts tremble.

Countless fine, hair-like vector force lines shot out from the force field, each precisely locking onto a fleeing star beast, moving with lightning speed and without any unnecessary movements.

Some of the force lines pierced directly through the star beast's head, while others precisely severed its heart. The star beasts that were hit fell to the ground one after another, without even having time to scream.

In just a few dozen seconds, the scattered star beasts were all killed, their corpses piled up like mountains, and green and black blood mixed with the blood of the humans who had been there, forming a winding river of blood on the street.

The Heavenly Dao remained suspended in mid-air, its clothes neat and tidy, without even a trace of blood, as if it had only done a trivial matter.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire city of Panshi fell completely silent, with only the crackling of burning buildings, the sobs of surviving people, and the sound of Jing Liuli comforting the trapped spectators coming from the direction of the stadium in the distance.

The Heavenly Dao slowly descended and walked to the two surviving Cataclysmic Star Envoys.

The two Star Envoys had already exhausted their Star Source and were slumped on the ground. When they saw the Heavenly Dao approaching, they immediately struggled to get up and respond, but the Heavenly Dao gently pressed them down with a vector force field.

"Get some rest first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao raised his hand and released a gentle, azure-blue energy towards the city.

Where the energy covered, the wounds of the injured people began to heal slowly, and the collapsed building debris was gently pushed aside, clearing a path.

The burning flames were extinguished precisely, and the residual toxins in the air were completely purified.

After doing all this, Tiandao took out his data terminal and contacted Caroline.

"The beast tide in Panshi City has subsided. We have notified rescue teams and reconstruction supplies to come, count the number of casualties, and calm the public."

"In addition, we sent someone to coordinate with Liuli at the stadium to assist in evacuating the trapped spectators."

"understood."

Caroline responded 'calmly' and immediately took action.

After doing all this, Tiandao put away the data terminal and looked down at the city, which was devastated yet had regained its vitality.

On the streets, the surviving people emerged from their hiding places, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe as they looked at Tiandao's figure.

A young couple who survived held their child, tears streaming down their faces, and bowed deeply to the heavens.

The boy, huddled behind a trash can, was found by a rescue star envoy. Looking at the figure of the Heavenly Dao, his eyes shone with hope, and he silently memorized this azure figure.

Just when everyone thought the Heavenly Dao was about to say something, his Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye suddenly twitched slightly, sensing a faint energy fluctuation coming from the depths of subspace.

This fluctuation carried the aura of the zodiac's twelve signs, seemingly probing the situation in Rock City.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Tiandao's lips.

"I see."

Instead of immediately pursuing the matter, Tiandao turned and walked towards the stadium.

Right now, resettling the survivors and clearing the city's wreckage are the top priorities.

As for the exploration of the twelve zodiac signs, it is merely the prelude to the storm.

Meanwhile, in the far-off core of the subspace, inside the Star Palace.

A dark figure slowly withdrew its probing energy and said in a solemn tone, "The Heavenly Dao has resolved the beast tide in Rock City. Two Cataclysmic Star Beasts were instantly killed... The speed at which his strength has increased far exceeds our expectations."

"Those two fools thought they could find out the secrets of the Heavenly Dao by joining forces, but they ended up becoming his stepping stones instead."

Another dark figure snorted coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"Now that we've lost the opportunity to test his strength, we must speed up the search for the 'key'!"

"Yes."

The Aries entity slowly spoke, its voice still cold.

“There are signs that things are starting to loosen up on Ennet’s side, and it’s almost time to take action.”

The nine dark figures nodded in unison, then transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the Starry Sky Palace.
