I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

[Tsk tsk, she must be shocked, right? Hahaha, the things I, this great one, can do far exceed your imagination!]

It used the biological knowledge it had learned when it was human, combined with its life-modification powers, to repeatedly modify its body. It could move at a speed comparable to a streak of light, yet its soft structure still possessed immense strength. The 'raincoat' specifically designed to resist energy attacks was also a testament to its unparalleled mastery of its powers.

The Gu King turned around triumphantly and fled. If it weren't for the presence of a terrifying person like Liu Mengxian, it would have really wanted to exchange a few more blows with Yan Ziming.

In just a second or two, it covered thousands of meters at an astonishing speed; a few more seconds and it would be completely out of sight.

The sky suddenly brightened a bit.

? !

The surface of the Gu King's body rippled, and it accelerated once more, instantly covering a distance of several thousand meters.

The air boiled completely in less than half a second, producing a terrifying sound like bubbling lava. All of this was caused by that prism-like spear of victory.

A beam of light, over a kilometer in diameter, shot out from the tip of the Spear of Victory. In an instant, the sky was shrouded in twilight. The beam shot into the ionosphere, accompanied by dazzling auroral bands created by high-energy particles breaking through the atmosphere. From a distance, it looked like an aurora night scene in Antarctica.

Realizing it had missed, the beam split into millions of beams, with at least dozens sweeping across its body.

A sequence level as powerful as it would naturally not be defeated by the 'scraps' of a powerful attack, but this time, its 'raincoat' was not so effective.

In the first half second, the beam slid away, but in the next second it began to burn, like a lotus leaf scorching on the surface of a fire. The 'raincoat' was burned through, and the beam sliced ​​off that part of its body like a laser cutter, causing its body volume to shrink by tens of meters.

Despite the significant damage, it appeared as if it had only lost a small amount of body tissue, and its speed had actually become even more agile and nimble.

"Tsk!"

Yan Ziming's momentum waned, and she was temporarily unable to organize an attack of the same scale as before for more than ten seconds. That was her most powerful attack at present, surpassing techniques such as Radiant Red Dust, and was called 'Sky Strike'. It was released by Yan Ziming based on the method of "Aurora".

whoosh-

A dazzling spatial corridor emerged from the void, striking the right side of the Gu King's body. It was resistant to lightning, but not to space. The spatial energy shredded its body tissues, and the corridor was like a vine with countless sharp teeth, tearing flesh off its body inch by inch.

"That's it."

The Gu King snorted disdainfully. It had taken the attack willingly because it was the best route to retreat, and it wouldn't give up its position so easily just because of an attack from a ninth-tier opponent.

The body's trillions of muscle structures tensed up at the same time, and the muscle density increased several orders of magnitude in an instant. The internal pressure was enough to kill any living being, and the spatial corridor was forcibly cut off.

A pretty girl fell out of the corridor, her wings, dozens of meters long, unfurling from her back. Her whole body was covered in a layer of black armor, and the aura she exuded formed a ferocious dragon, blocking her way.

This startled the Gu King. This was... a black calamity?

Almost exactly the same.

"But it's still too weak!" the Gu King roared and continued to charge forward, unafraid of the challenge from Ye Qianxue.

Ye Qianxue pushed off the ground with her right leg and waved her hands, causing ripples in the surrounding space, as if she were waving two invisible giant hands and pushing forward.

boom--

Ye Qianxue was sent flying backward at an extremely fast speed as if she had been hit by a train, but her retreat was stopped halfway by the solidified space, which continued to block her way.

"The mantis' arm is like a chariot."

The Gu King was indeed momentarily stunned by her retort, and another such incident could have serious consequences, so it chose to back down this time.

Of course, "avoiding" doesn't mean giving way to this route. Rather, it means that just as it was about to make close contact with Ye Qianxue, the middle of its body suddenly became empty, turning into a ring. Ye Qianxue had no idea that it could have such a change, and it slipped behind her.

"White Emperor - Annihilation".

Murong Haiyi's attack followed immediately.

This attack caused the Gu King to change color; it was the power of the immortal spirit!

He finally stepped aside, not daring to take the lead, fearing unexpected trouble.

This was a wise choice. Even if it were just a slight scratch, it would probably be parasitized by the White Emperor and its essence would be continuously drained, serving as nourishment for Murong Haiyi.

At this moment, a beam of light reversed the flow of time and space, completely piercing through the Gu King's body. The Gu King didn't even have time to react, and before he could feel any pain, a large pool of blood suddenly gushed out, which both shocked and enraged him.

"You can't escape!" Yan Ziming coldly blocked his way, launching a lightning-fast attack.

"You have the final say!"

Countless tentacles extended from beneath the bowl-shaped shell of the Gu King Jellyfish, each tip gathering energy fluctuations that could destroy at any moment, raining down on Yan Ziming.

Crackling sound—sizzling sound...sizzling sound...

Yan Zimo, while attacking, did not forget to defend. With a wave of his hand, a crystalline light was emitted from the tip of the Spear of Victory, which turned into a wall and blocked in front of him. Then the Spear of Victory thrust forward, and the void strangely dented and flashed with blue-purple light.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——

bang bang-

The tentacles exploded violently upon touching the elemental wall, each loud bang awe-inspiring. However, while the tentacles could bypass the elemental wall to strike, they were all torn apart by a sharp force when they came within ten steps of Yan Ziming. This was the effect of the spear that had just been thrust out.

Yan Ziming naturally hadn't forgotten that the Gu King wouldn't linger in battle; it would definitely flee, so he made preparations in advance.

"Tch, just as I expected."

The Gu King reacted on the left; it changed direction. The sea was not far ahead, and if it was allowed to go in, it would be a pipe dream to catch it again.

Yan Ziming immediately gave chase, pursuing them all the way from Bei'an to here. The journey was fraught with lightning speed, leaving the land scorched for miles, as if gods were fighting.

In the end, Yan Ziming was still unable to stop this heavyweight behemoth, which was only a kilometer away from the coastline and could infiltrate it in a matter of minutes.

"You dare to mess with us? Who do you think you're trying to fool with just a few bucks?"

A being darker than night suddenly shattered the space in front of it and pounced on the Gu King with bared teeth and claws. No matter how hard Yan Ziming tried to stop it, the Gu King was stopped by an opponent of equal weight and was stunned. The black calamity's strong and powerful dragon claws gripped its flesh tightly and could not be broken free!

Yan Ziming was overjoyed. This bastard had finally arrived. He would tell Xian'er to go easy on her later.

The Gu King rolled over, its skin and flesh softening. The Black Calamity suddenly felt as if its claws had gripped jelly, losing all hold, and the Gu King slipped away.

"Hmph! You can stay here!"

Yan Ziming seized the opportunity and, together with Si Mo, surrounded the Gu King from both sides.

Si Mo coldly extended her hand to the Gu King, "I'll give you one last chance, will you give it to me or not?"

"Damn it! You're doing it again?!" Yan Ziming immediately cursed. He'd already betrayed me once, and now he was going to do it again in front of me?!

Damn it! I'd better let Xian'er beat me to a pulp when we get back!

The Gu King's answer was simple and direct: "Eat shit!"

After saying that, its body lit up like a fluorescent light, flashing faster and faster.

Buzz...bu ...

Clearly, this is a recipe for disaster.

"Strike first is the strongest!"

Yan Ziming didn't wait any longer and launched "Sky Strike" himself. The Black Calamity also breathed out a dragon's breath. At the same time, the Gu King's self-destruction came to an end. Time stopped, and all sounds disappeared from the world.

At that moment, a tremor seemed to erupt here, shaking the entire Asian continent, and the waves rose thousands of meters high.

When the satellite swept across the area, this region, spanning tens of square kilometers, simply vanished from the map...

41. He lost both his wife and his army.

"Cutting."

Faced with Liu Mengxian's near-fatal attack, the Mirage Dragon finally dared not confront it head-on anymore.

The auspicious seven-colored clouds, which had been blocked from entering from the outside, had been pouring down continuously since earlier, forming a swirling cloud vortex that enveloped the entire cage created by the elemental wall.

Suddenly, these auspicious omens stopped spinning abruptly and then began to spin rapidly in the opposite direction.

What may seem like just a change in the direction of rotation is like a millstone grinding glass, causing cracks to appear in the space, giving the feeling that it might collapse at any moment.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the cage created by Liu Mengxian broke open with several holes, and light burst out from the cracks. Each ray of light outshone all the brilliance in the world. As these countless rays of light spread out, everything in the world paled in comparison, and mountains and rivers were bathed in light.

One of the rays of light, which was relatively small and inconspicuous, slipped out and disappeared in an instant.

Crackling sounds...

The Wall of Elements shattered, and Liu Mengxian's face turned solemn.

It got away again...

Despite being well-prepared, it still managed to escape, which was beyond Liu Mengxian's expectations.

"Do you really intend to protect this scourge?"

Liu Mengxian glanced coldly at the vast night sky, as if she were confronting something.

Heaven.

A fictitious title, existing only in people's imagination.

But Liu Mengxian understood that the so-called 'Heaven' truly existed.

She wasn't the only one who understood this; anyone at the ninth level could feel it to some extent, especially special beings like Yan Ziming, Su Yuchen, Manchaluo, and Xiaoze. Because of their unique nature, they understood better than anyone else that the heavens were not some illusory construct.

The saying that immortals are favored by the heavens is not just a simple saying; they are indeed born in response to the times, which is why they have such special abilities.

Today, Liu Mengxian believes that the mirage dragon could escape without the intervention of some kind of "divine favor."

Not only today, but in every previous pursuit of the Mirage Dragon, this mastermind was secretly stirring things up.

A cold smile curved across Liu Mengxian's lips.

"One day, the person I'm waiting for will use your power to kill the immortal spirit you protect. Just you wait and see."
