That Silver Line Tearing Across the Sky! My Funeral Gift to the Planetary-level Monster!

Li Yifei knelt on one knee, coughing violently. With every cough, blood spilled from his mouth.

Just one strike.

He had already suffered serious injuries.

This was the power of a Planetary-level Monster! A power even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Planetary-level human!

A pure, unreasonable, absolute crushing force!

"Roar!"

Having landed its blow, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard spread its limbs. The ground thundered as it charged toward Li Yifei like a moving mountain range.

It intended to crush this insect that dared provoke it into pulp!

As he watched that colossal body descend upon him as though the sky itself were collapsing, a trace of madness flashed through Li Yifei's eyes.

"Want to kill me? It's still too soon!"

"Scatter!"

His Mental power erupted once more.

The enormous [Bright Moon Disc] instantly broke apart, turning back into twelve Crescent Moon Wheel Blades.

No, more than twelve!

Driven madly by Li Yifei's Mental power, every wheel blade vibrated at high speed, splitting into countless silver afterimages.

In an instant, hundreds upon thousands of Crescent Moon Blade Lights surged toward the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard like a breached river of silver stars, blotting out the sky!

"Clang clang clang—!"

A dense barrage of noise rang out, like torrential rain pounding on a tin roof.

Countless blade lights struck the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard's dark-red keratinous hide, bursting into clusters of dazzling sparks.

Yet aside from leaving shallow white marks, they could not penetrate its insanely tough defense at all!

"So it really won't work..."

Li Yifei's heart sank, but his movements did not stop in the slightest.

He stomped the ground, turning into a ghostly black shadow as he sped close to the earth.

Perfect level movement technique!

Shielded by the hundreds and thousands of blade lights, he narrowly circled around from beneath the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard's enormous shadow to its rear flank.

He had spotted it!

The joint in the monster's hind leg!

The keratinous layer there was clearly thinner than elsewhere!

"Now!"

Li Yifei sprang up like a cheetah. The SS-class battle saber in his hand carved a black arc as it viciously hacked toward that joint!

At the same time, the thousand Crescent Moon Blade Lights in the sky seemed to receive an order, instantly merging into one brilliant silver torrent and blasting precisely toward the same spot!

The perfect coordination of a Mental Master and a warrior!

"Squelch—!"

This time, there was no crisp clash of metal.

Instead, there came the dull sound of a sharp blade cutting into flesh!

"Roarrr—!!!"

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard let out a furious howl filled with pain and rage.

A massive, bone-deep wound had been torn open at the joint of its hind leg. Dark-red, scalding blood gushed forth like a waterfall!

The agonizing pain completely ignited the giant beast's ferocity!

It spun around sharply, abandoning all defense as its enormous head slammed toward Li Yifei like a battering ram!

Too fast!

Li Yifei's pupils contracted. He had no time to dodge.

He could only gather all his Mental power and form the twelve [Arc Light Wheels] into a small shield before him.

"Boom—!!!"

It felt as though he had been struck head-on by a high-speed maglev train.

Li Yifei's Black God Battle Armor let out a teeth-grating screech of distortion. He flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing into a small hill and collapsing it.

"Pff—"

A mouthful of blood stained his armor's visor red.

Even his consciousness went blank for an instant.

His internal organs seemed displaced, and he had no idea how many bones throughout his body had broken.

Intense dizziness and pain swept over him like a tide.

"Am I... going to die...?"

He struggled to get up, only to find that his body would not obey him at all.

Dragging its injured hind leg, the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard walked toward him step by step, its massive shadow completely enveloping him.

It looked down at the little insect that had severely wounded it, its eyes filled with cruel amusement.

It opened its gaping maw.

A sulfurous stench, mixed with devastating heat, gathered in its throat.

It was going to melt this insect completely with its scorching dragon breath!

The shadow of death enveloped Li Yifei.

Retreat?

A thought flashed through his mind.

With a single thought, he could use the [Group Member Teleportation Ticket] and return to the coordinates he had recorded earlier, escaping safely.

But he did not.

Because he felt it!

That long-dormant desire buried in the deepest part of his body!

Under the extreme pressure of death, every cell in his body was crying out in defiance!

They craved it!

They craved evolution! They craved transformation! They craved breaking the shackles of their genes!

"Aaaahhh—!!!"

Li Yifei let out a roar that barely sounded human.

All his Mental power, all his will, all his life potential—at this moment, they burned completely, madly, without reservation!

"Move... damn it!!!"

The twelve [Moonlight Wheels] scattered across the ground after his Mental power had been severely damaged began to tremble violently.

Once more, they slowly rose into the air.

And they began to reassemble in a completely unprecedented way!

No longer a defensive disc, no longer scattered blade lights.

All the wheel blades connected end to end, layering upon one another until they finally became a terrifying silver blade fifty meters long and nearly ten meters wide...

Moon Blade!

"Cleave!!!"

Using the last shred of his strength, Li Yifei issued his final command.

Buzz—!

The silver Moon Blade tore through space, leaving behind a desolate silver line that pierced through heaven and earth.

Its target was not the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard's head, nor was it its body.

It was its injured hind leg!

"Squelch—!!!"

A soft sound, so faint it was almost inaudible.

The dragon breath the Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard was about to unleash came to an abrupt halt.

It lowered its head and saw that its thick hind leg had been severed cleanly from the wound.

Its enormous body lost its balance and came crashing down.

After severing its hind leg, the silver Moon Blade did not lose momentum. At a tricky, bizarre angle, it swept upward from below and plunged with unmatched precision into its soft lower jaw!

It entered through the lower jaw and burst out through the crown of its head!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Lizard's enormous eyes were filled with disbelief.

Then, the light of life swiftly faded from its pupils.

"Rumble—!"

Its huge body slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Watching the fallen giant beast, Li Yifei could no longer hold on. His vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

Less than a minute later.

When Li Yifei regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was an unprecedented... hunger.

It was not the hunger of his stomach, but the ultimate craving for energy arising from the deepest depths of his body, from every single cell!
