Devil of a Thousand Whiskers? Comparing his ability to a demon's?
The thoughts of someone from the Fourth Ring, devoid of any semblance of justice.
When Wan Jing heard Lu Luo naming his move, her first reaction was actually this, which was quite strange. She had no time to think about what these tentacles would do to her, but she presumed it wouldn't be anything like S-M. After all, summoning tentacles in the midst of battle was pretty weird.
Once again Wan Jing jerked her arm, but Lu Luo still didn't give her the chance to escape. Unable to move, she could only muster all her energy for defense.
"Holy Radiance Barrier!"
The golden Holy Radiance had just enveloped Wan Jing when the tentacles arrived.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The power of the tentacles far exceeded Wan Jing's imagination. Soon, Lu Luo's assault caused the protective Holy Radiance around her to dissipate.
Wan Jing was shocked. She couldn't defend against them, and this was merely the power of a few dozen tentacles. Around her, countless more tentacles were poised and ready to strike. If I keep on resisting like this, I will definitely be in trouble, and might even die. Wan Jing knew that with her Holy Radiance, she couldn't withstand Lu Luo's move no matter what.
Then, she spoke again, "Lu Luo, there's no need for us to go this far!"
"The moment you laid your hand on Qi Xinzhu, it was already a fight to the death."
"Qi Xinzhu isn't dead! There's still room for redemption."
"Qi Xinzhu is my wife, so tonight, you must die!"
Lu Luo's voice was ice-cold, with no intention of backing down.
Seeing that Lu Luo was unyielding, Wan Jing also steeled her resolve.
"Lu Luo, you brought this upon yourself."
At this moment, Wan Jing's eyes held nothing but determination.
SPLURT!
A tentacle pierced straight through Wan Jing's chest, puncturing her heart. When the tentacle was withdrawn, its barbs ripped out a substantial amount of flesh and blood. Yet Wan Jing did not die.
At death's door, activated.
In her dying state, Wan Jing's Sequence Force naturally stirred. She could rely on the Sequence Force to be immune to fatal damage, and in a short period, her strength increased twofold! Such a potent enhancement allowed her to completely surpass Lu Luo in head-on combat.
The Devourer's tentacles continued to assault Wan Jing's body, destroying it with fierce attacks. As though driven by some rule of force, Wan Jing's torso began to reconstitute itself at a particle level!
The fingers that pierced Lu Luo's chest exerted a tremendous force, one that not even Lu Luo's body could withstand. She burrowed deeper into Lu Luo's body, as if seeking to find and burst his internal organs one by one. But after searching around, Wan Jing discovered his body seemed to be all muscle. Even with her significantly increased strength, this search was difficult!
Wan Jing looked at Lu Luo, whose lips, now turned into black muscles, curled slightly.
"Lu Luo, your structure really is quite out of the ordinary!"
Lu Luo still paid no attention to Wan Jing. His condition was also somewhat dire. The damage Wan Jing had caused was painful, but he could bear this level of pain. It wasn't that he had no way to deal with Wan Jing; instead, he was contemplating what method to use to finish her off.
"Severance!"
Fenrir Type VI, each blade aiming at Wan Jing from a different angle. But Wan Jing blocked each of the dense attacks, the blades clinking softly as they collided. She handled them with ease. At this moment, her strength had far surpassed Lu Luo's!
BANG!
Following Lu Luo's strategy of trading blow for blow, Wan Jing kicked him away. She locked all the blades of the Fenrir Type VI in place with an evil Holy Radiance and then pointed her sword at Lu Luo, who only had his main sword left.
"I've read your investigation report, Lu Luo. Your achievements are simply glorious.
"At such a young age, you've even defeated Chen Mo of our Church, a very outstanding Believer of Light. I've also heard that you possess Thunder Breath, which is very powerful. Why, at a time like this, do you still not plan to use it?"
Lu Luo looked at Wan Jing and shook his head slightly. Her energy levels have already far surpassed mine. Moves like Thunder Breath and Sky Sever Slash work well against large Exotic Species. But against a human Transcendent like Wan Jing, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Human movement speed is too fast, and their techniques are too flexible and variable; there are too many uncertainties. After using Thunder Breath, my recovery would be very slow, and my overall movement efficiency would drop a notch. Using it in such uncertain circumstances would be a waste of Qi He. Wan Jing could even exploit an opening and launch a lethal counterattack. Therefore, I now need an attack even fiercer than Thunder Breath.
CLANG!
The only main sword in his hand was also knocked away by Wan Jing. Her strength at this moment was just too overpowering. After the greatsword flew from his hand, Lu Luo's fingertips still trembled slightly! He felt his numb arm. I can clearly perceive that Wan Jing is definitely stronger than Yang Liya right now! This indeed is the gap between the Inner Ring and the Outer Ring. The elite strength of a Sixth Tier from the Inner Ring far surpasses that of one from the Outer Ring.
"Without a weapon, let's see how long you can hold out!"
Wan Jing seemed dominant, but inwardly she was also panicking. I only have one minute left in my dying state. That means if Lu Luo is able to hold on for this minute, then I'll truly have no chance left. Lu Luo is very strong, his abilities are outrageous, and even more terrifying is his resilience! Such a person is a threat to the Inner Ring. If he were to grow, he would surely become a formidable opponent for the Judgment Chief.
On Lu Luo's side, thanks to information from the Observer, he also knew Wan Jing only had one minute.
Although I could drag this out and ensure Wan Jing's death, I don't want to do that. Wan Jing's current state could be said to have surpassed the significance of a regular Sixth Tier. I'm not sure if she has reached the Seventh Tier, but I understand this is my only chance to touch such high-level power. I want to conduct a combat test! Testing the top powers of the Inner Ring is also a test for myself. If I can find a way to defeat Wan Jing head-on in this state, then I'll have a clear mental preparation for any Seventh Tier masters from the Inner Ring I might encounter in the future. So, Wan Jing's one-minute timeframe is, for me, also only a one-minute testing opportunity. Within this minute, I have to completely defeat and utterly crush Wan Jing.
SNAP!
Lu Luo clasped his hands together and began to control his Sequence Force.
THUD!
Wan Jing's fist bombarded Lu Luo's abdomen, instantly knocking him into the air. However, this time it wasn't too bad. Lu Luo had used all his Qi He for defense. His Qi He absorbed a great part of the attack's power, so Lu Luo himself didn't suffer any notable injury.
"That's about enough."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
Wan Jing didn't understand why Lu Luo had suddenly spoken up; this boy had always been so reticent during fights.
"I said, you've about had it."
A certain force within the red space seemed to be holding up Lu Luo's body. Lu Luo actually began to levitate slowly without having reached the Seventh Tier.
This state seems very special, but I know it isn't any flight ability at all. It's the effect of my Jet Belt combined with my own steam Qi He. The effect is a kind of false flight, but in terms of impressiveness, it's still very high.
Standing in the sky, Lu Luo looked down at Wan Jing on the ground.
"You have no chance, Wan Jing!"
"Don't be so arrogant."
Wan Jing, who had the upper hand, was about to rush into the sky to deliver a fatal blow to Lu Luo. The ground beneath her feet shattered in response, and with unrivaled momentum, Wan Jing's claw reached for Lu Luo's head.
Many of Lu Luo's organs are no longer like those of a normal human being, but at least he still maintains a human form. If he's in human form, then bursting his head should kill him, right?
Just as Wan Jing imagined Lu Luo's body being dismembered or his head exploding, she suddenly realized that the distance between herself and Lu Luo had not closed at all.
The air pressure around me makes it clear that I am indeed jumping and charging at high speed. But the distance between me and Lu Luo is like a chasm, utterly impossible to cross. This distance of about five meters between us seems to be an everlasting gap that can never be bridged.
"What's going on?"
"Wan Jing, I told you, you have no chance. Because this is my Domain!"
"Domain? An ability similar to that of an Exotic Species?"
"In my Domain, I am the ruler. And the place we are in now is my eye."
"Eye?"
Wan Jing suddenly remembered the eyeball that had appeared behind her when Lu Luo first showed up. The eyeball had given her a great sense of eeriness. After that, the eyeball didn't reappear in the battle, so Wan Jing stopped thinking about it. But now that Lu Luo had brought up his own eye, Wan Jing had a sudden bad premonition.
My near-death state only has 20 seconds left! I have to kill Lu Luo within these 20 seconds!
Wan Jing desperately activated her Holy Radiance, trying to completely kill Lu Luo in these final moments.
But Lu Luo had a similar idea. Her near-death state only has 20 seconds left. These 20 seconds are my last chance for an experiment.
DING DING DING!
A peculiar ringing filled the ears of Lu Luo and Wan Jing. It wasn't the sound of bells, but rather the emergence of eyeballs in the surrounding sky. These eyeballs were much larger and more distinctive than the Observer's Eye Lu Luo had released earlier. The centers of these eyeballs, identical to Lu Luo's own, bore black and purple Sequence Glyphs. Most of these glyphs were different, but in total, there were twelve types. The glyph in Lu Luo's eye was probably the eleventh one: Grade S-11-Observer.
The disks at the center of the eyeballs rotated in unison with Lu Luo's own. Lu Luo fixed his gaze on Wan Jing and murmured, "Grade S-11-Observer, the eye that sees all."
"What?"
Even if Wan Jing was slow on the uptake this time, she now understood what Lu Luo meant. Grade S Sequences usually represent supreme power. A power that only the Judgment Chief possesses!
"Demon of a Thousand Eyes, Eye Ray!"
Countless eyeballs emitted an equally intense red glow, which completely enveloped Wan Jing's body. In her near-death state, Wan Jing possessed twice her original strength. Yet even with this powerful boost, her Holy Radiance rapidly dissipated, evaporating within a short time.
"AAARGH! AAAH!~"
Wan Jing howled in pain, overwhelmed by the power of the Eye Ray. Everything about her was being decomposed, or rather, returned to its most primal state—for example, primal Dark Energy. Suspended in midair, she couldn't move and could only float there, at Lu Luo's mercy.
The red glow gradually fused with Wan Jing's body. Under the influence of the Eye Ray, her body began to stiffen. The light of Dark Spirit Stone suddenly flashed; Wan Jing's eyes had turned into pure Dark Spirit Stone crystals. All the surrounding Dark Energy was thoroughly extracted by Lu Luo, and this extracted Dark Energy was chaotic and unusable. Wan Jing's body crystallized, step by step. Soon, she transformed into a huge Dark Spirit Stone!
And then!
BANG!
It shattered with a thunderous noise, bursting into ordinary Dark Energy particles and completely dissipating into the air.
"Ugh!"
Lu Luo fell to one knee, collapsing heavily to the ground.
What an incredible battle! My strength isn't too shabby, right? Lu Xiaoluo, you haven't felt this kind of pressure in a long time, have you? Indeed, only someone from the Inner Ring can give you such pressure.
Lu Luo nodded slightly. In the Outer Ring, it was indeed hard for me, a Fifth Tier Transcendent, to find a suitable opponent. For example, I was confident I could defeat a Sixth Tier Transcendent, but that would be meaningless. Defeating a Sixth Tier Transcendent from the Outer Ring isn't as significant as battling one from the Inner Ring. Not to mention, there are currently no suitable Seventh Tiers in the Outer Ring. I couldn't get a clear definition of my own strength. But this battle with Wan Jing was the fight where I fully confirmed my own strength.
"This state... it's good!"
Lu Luo slowly got up, walked quickly to Qi Xinzhu, and lifted her into his arms. Because of the excessive use of Sequence Force, the red Observer's space could no longer be maintained and gradually dissipated.
When Lu Luo appeared in everyone's field of vision holding Qi Xinzhu, the surrounding Believers immediately noticed them.
"They're here!"
"A man, holding Priest Qi Xinzhu."
"Who is this man?"
"I don't know."
"Where is Lady Wan Jing?"
"You're asking me? How should I know?"
The surrounding Believers were abuzz with discussion. Although they hadn't witnessed Lu Luo's arrival or his battle with Wan Jing, they had a vague guess about the situation, seeing Lu Luo holding Priest Qi Xinzhu. This man, it seemed, had come to rescue Priest Qi Xinzhu. But had he failed, or succeeded? If he failed, then why hadn't Lady Wan Jing appeared? If he succeeded, then Wan Jing...
"Hey, who are you? Why are you holding Priest Qi Xinzhu?"
"You're not from the Church, are you? I've never seen you before."
"Where is Lady Wan Jing?"
