Boom!
Endless blood-colored waves surged out, spreading from the enormous body of the Ba Snake, staining the mountains with blood. The malevolent creature screeched, struggling madly, and then, as if unable to bear the humiliation, exploded with a thunderous roar!
A violent fiery light rose, radiating in all directions, with flames rolling. But immediately afterwards, on that patch of fish scale at the center of the explosion, blood color emerged, flesh buds sprouted, grew again, expanded, transforming once more into the shape of the Ba Snake!
No matter how you divide infinity, it remains infinite!
No matter how you divide life, it remains life!
Even a seemingly insignificant scale on the body of the Great Evil still represents the infinite life and immortality inherent in the fish itself!
In fact, after yet another transformation and rebirth, it became even more grotesque and violent. Correspondingly, from the closing and transformation of the giant hands, the material form of the Nether Sea Worm finally emerged!
However, compared to its once bizarre appearance, its entire body seemed sculpted from mercury, shimmering with silver light, unpredictably changing, no longer resembling its former self, but constantly transforming among many grand creations.
Sometimes like a tower reaching the heavens, sometimes transforming into an iron fist descending from the sky, and sometimes dipped in the poison of Mutation and Mutant, forming blade after blade!
The sword blades swept vertically and horizontally, fragmenting abruptly, and then formed a gun barrel resembling a giant cannon, aimed straight at the Ba Snake's forehead, pulling the trigger!
"In the end, I still took a shortcut."
At this moment, amidst the world of battling giants, Ji Jue gazed at the scene in front of him, silently sighing.
Let alone the hundreds of years of simulation during which Ji Jue comprehended and mastered the worm enough to manifest this disaster again with external objects.
The essence of the worm, a monstrous creation birthed from the deaths of countless Disaster Beasts and Mutated entities, was being recomposed and restructured by Ji Jue leveraging the Soul Summoning Bell.
The reborn worm bore almost no resemblance to the monster that once eroded the entire present realm, aside from principle and essence.
Not only was it limited by Ji Jue's own limits, its subtlety and remoteness were beyond reconstruction, and even the Rain Blood Disaster as the vessel was just a broken fragment, hard to compare to the endless Nether Sea.
But after borrowing the worm's essence from the Tower of Wanxiang, Candle Light Revelation from Jian Yuan, Great Sin Divine Marrow from beneath the Vortex, and an empty shell and materials from the Rain Blood Disaster, all these parts and equipment assembled in Ji Jue's factory, a brand new worm rolled out like a car.
Even the automotive system—the creation and theory of the Spiritual Beast—was directly copied from his teacher, practically verbatim.
Ultimately, from start to finish, besides the necessary technical content, it really didn't have any highlights.
Now, rather than calling it the Nether Sea Worm, it was more like...it had transformed the world beneath the Blood Rain into its own workshop!
Moreover, compared to Ji Jue's own cobbled-together drafty workshop, the completion was astounding; the only unfortunate thing was, it pointed not towards Superior Embers, but Great Evil Zhi Fu!
Bound by theory and experience, even facing a mere Ba Snake wasted so much time without conquering it.
If Isis were here, it would undoubtedly be much easier, at least not having to handle all of this so painstakingly...
Boom!
"Get out of the way."
Without turning back, Ji Jue snapped his fingers, and a flesh tendril reaching from the underground burst apart loudly; a giant hand manifested in mid-air, tearing the tendril out by the roots.
Then, using solid alchemy to seal, refine, and consume the spiritual essence within the worm, he began reconstruction, and a broken Pan Ying Sword appeared once more between those fingers.
Piercing through the ever-changing mountain of flesh once more!
Since it was all borrowed spiritual essence and a borrowed workshop, Ji Jue was not troubled by wasting materials, and he indulged in practice, maximizing proficiency.
One after another, the broken or Mutant Pan Ying Swords continuously extracted the life from fish scales and the Ba Snake, forged and thrust back into the ever-struggling body of the Ba Snake.
Even lacking a blessing and details, they were entirely sufficient as disposable consumables!
As for the life force harvested, even if it wasn't useful or couldn't be put to great use, it could at least be thrown into the Rain Blood Disaster, further polluting and mutating, used to fill the emptiness and complete itself!
What kind of enemy is that? It's clearly a massive portable charger coming to the door!
Afraid the Rain Blood Disaster would run out, causing the worm to collapse without attack, specifically coming to restore Ji Jue's health.
Ji Jue almost couldn't bear to kill it!
The earth-shattering loud sound erupted once more.
The Ba Snake self-destructed.
But after this time, when reassembling, it seemed to have grown smarter, with secret guidance and control, dividing into countless textures and flesh buds, spilling and spreading its bloody color, writhing rapidly, even attaching to broken and shattered skeletons and remains, catalyzing into a massive number of Mutant species.
Fragmented into parts, speeding through the mountains and fields, screeching.
When Ji Jue, focusing on controlling hundreds of giant hands, swept and annihilated with sweeping motions, from the deepest layer of countless bones, a massive, hulking silhouette gradually emerged.
In the gathering of countless earth and steel, the outline of the Ruins Giant slowly appeared.
Yue Chen!
However, now there was no longer any trace of the original apparition.
As the rebirth form emerged, the giant without a head had sharp crystals and minerals covering its entire body, showing no face, no expression, and not the slightest bit of humanity's hesitation or unease.
The crystal on its exposed chest, resembling a heart, throbbing incessantly, simply standing here, seemed to provoke endless tremors.
The earth veins trembled, the mountains resonated.
Chain after chain of shackles on its body shattered one after another, and the power sealed in its body over the long years burst completely.
The ultra-dense material, formidable enough to make Ji Jue stay on high alert, gathered once more, and in the black spear, the burning light like molten rock began to manifest and expand rapidly.
The ultra-dense material, once collapsed to the extreme, erupted violently, yet the outburst was promptly restrained and compressed. In the end, even the outline of the spear was no longer visible, only a wisp of a fluid-like violent flame light surging back and forth.
Ignoring the strikes of numerous Pan Ying Swords, it allowed its body to be pierced through.
The giant roared loud.
The oddity substance formed by the upheaval of an enormous number of particles, like the spear of a stellar core, detached and soared!
Ji Jue's face suddenly changed drastically.
As the light spear slipped from his hand, one palm after another emerged from the void, attempting to suppress and seal it. Yet the interference of alchemy and the suppression of the Nether Sea Worm seemed like mere illusions.
In a mere instant, a vast amount of material interference flowed out of the Blood Rain, solidifying the void into an iron wall, contracting and blocking the front, continuously consuming the terrifying impact within the blazing light.
There was no time to spare for anything else.
Within the splattered, explosive blood plasma, amidst the pervasive scarlet, a bizarre reflection quietly surfaced, resembling the Invisible Wolf, with the Mutated Wolf lurking in the blood, flashing continuously, migrating itself via the blood plasma of countless cannon fodder…
And thus, it crossed the final distance.
At this critical moment, the Blood-Stained Wolf emerged from the Blood Rain, appearing out of thin air behind Ji Jue, still grinning as if silently laughing wildly.
So close at hand!
The blood hand transformed, raised, and pierced out!
Yet from beginning to end, Ji Jue couldn't even be bothered to turn around and spare him a glance.
Indifferently embracing death, unwavering.
At that moment, a dreamlike glimmer once again appeared before everyone.
It resembled the bright spring sunshine, the gentle rain showered in midsummer, the red leaves taking flight from branches in autumn, the countless translucent ice flowers during a snowstorm.
All the beauties of the mortal world manifested from the light, then dispersed.
Like morning dew, gone with the many bitter days.
Life is short, but a fleeting moment, and amongst these countless unremarkable moments, all things shine, luxuriant in bloom, and then, they meet their withering.
Beauty in spring fades all at once.
This is the brevity of the Bitter Day, and by the time it's noticed, everything has irretrievably met its end.
Beneath the broken armor, the slumbering Hunter awakens from a long dream, under the urge of instinct, opening his eyes once more, and without hesitation, pulling the trigger!
In an instant, the brilliance scattered, and a wisp of dreamlike crystalline light, as it was released, penetrated into the wolf's heart and soul.
Outside the arena, An Neng and An De's eyes were raised, frowning.
Amidst the sound of hysterical laughter from the Blood Rain, beneath the rapidly disintegrating body of the Mutated Wolf, in front of the soul and life, a continuously wriggling piece of flesh had already been pierced by the Bitter Day.
That was the heart!
Ba Snake's heart!
Just as it collided with the Bitter Day, the heart withered in an instant, and within it, a fish scale riddled with cracks broke right through the middle——
Snap!
Countless mutants shrieked in pain, wilting swiftly, withering.
Like wheat severed at the waist by the scythe of death, silently falling.
Amidst the Mutated Wolf's wild laughter.
Who says the heart inside the belly must be your own?! Besides Ba Snake's Heart, what better to resist this long-prepared Bitter Day and Extreme Realm Projection?!
Behind the armor, a wisp of blood water emerged from nothing, and there appeared the real Mutated Wolf.
Grinning.
Then, seeing a pair of eyes.
Watching him calmly.
In the pitch-black eyes, it was as if moonlight was reflected, so clear and bright, distant and sympathetic, like a White Deer turning back, gazing upon the eternally warring wasteland.
Under the reflection of the void moonlight, the dying girl seemed to fade as well, like an illusion, so crystalline, under the illusory glimmer, was the slender and erect silhouette of a White Deer.
The two overlapped with each other, making it difficult to distinguish which is real, and which is phantasmal…
——Rebirth Form: Jade Horn Shadow!
At the last moment, what the wolf saw was the eyes of the deer.
Cold and calm, overlooking all birth and death, witnessing the demise of another vicious wolf.
The Mutated Wolf stalled, lips instinctively moving, but no sound came forth.
Why? Why do you still have strength? Why hasn't your soul been eroded by the Mutated Wolf's venom? Why… is there still flying light?!
"Sorry, fooled you."
An Ning smiled regretfully, as if with pity: "After all, deceiving is what I do best."
A wisp of glimmer gently sent forth, striking precisely the wolf's soul.
Obliterating everything.
Snap!
The last of the blood water silently scattered, dissipating, evaporating, leaving not a trace.
Only a curved canine tooth stained with blood fell from within, landing in An Ning's hand, as her five fingers slowly closed, whispering a blessing: "With this hunt, dedicated to the White Deer."
When the five fingers unfurled, the wolf fang had vanished.
In the overlapping rebirth forms, the dreamlike shadow of the White Deer became even more vivid and vivacious.
Your heart is as it should be, Superior has known.
The long chase ends here.
