Kill confirmed
Greedy Wolf poured all his spiritual power into the Insect Armor Sword.
There were no fancy special effects, no unnecessary fluctuations, only Lu Heng's unique, cold and domineering Greedy Wolf Power, steadily covering the entire blade.
Lu Heng's steps were firm and his posture stable. He raised his sword and slashed straight at the core of the black mist that was tightly imprisoned in mid-air.
The long-stalemate has finally come to an end.
Above the sky, the Blood Taisui had already been overdrawn to its limit.
The mental chain that had been maintaining the enemy's hold throughout the entire battle had long since reached its breaking point.
Just as the Insect Armor Sword was about to touch the black mist's body, the dense mental chains suddenly collapsed.
The invisible energy flowed rapidly back through the air, enveloping Lu Heng's body, conforming to his skin texture, and covering his entire body, instantly reforming into a tight and thick layer of blood-red armor.
The Blood Taisui has completely shed its burden of confinement and returned to its defensive state.
The moment the chains were broken, the Nightmare Eater, now free, suddenly erupted.
The black mist, which had been suppressed and imprisoned for a long time, expanded violently, rolled and twisted. It instinctively knew it was in dire straits, and immediately disintegrated its body, trying to break into pieces and scatter to escape.
Lu Heng had anticipated this.
He instantly released all his Mental Energy, and the invisible spiritual force spread out, firmly compressing and locking down the entire area in mid-air.
The black mist that had just loosened was forcibly pushed back into its fixed range.
Escape routes are completely blocked.
However, large-scale, high-intensity, and sustained mental confinement comes at a tremendous cost.
A vast amount of spiritual energy is rapidly dissipating.
Lu Heng felt a sudden throbbing in his temples, and a clear, dull pain shot through his head. The continuous mental confrontation, prolonged suppression, and uninterrupted energy output had already left him severely mentally exhausted.
There was no time to pause and rest.
Lu Heng knew that his mental endurance wouldn't last much longer.
He stepped forward with his sword, taking advantage of the Nightmare Eater's loss of energy, inability to heal itself, and continuous passive attrition, and slashed repeatedly.
One cut, two cuts, three cuts.
Each strike landed precisely on the black mist's body.
There were no supplies, no repairs, and no backup plan.
The originally troublesome mental body gradually thinned, disintegrated, and withered under the continuous attacks.
The Nightmare Eater was utterly cornered, frantically ramming against the surrounding mental barriers. The entire black mist trembled violently, and the anxiety and resentment on the mental level spread wildly, repeatedly impacting Lu Heng's confinement range, attempting to tear open a flaw.
But Lu Heng's mental blockade remained as solid as a rock.
In the final moments of the stalemate, Lu Heng stopped resorting to simple physical attacks.
He concentrated his energy, fully condensing his Mind Spike, and channeling them into the sword through his palm, completely merging them with the spiritual power of the Greedy Wolf.
Within the blade, sharpness is no longer merely a matter of physical strength.
It is a combination of physical sharpness, pure spiritual penetration, and the exclusive spiritual power of the Greedy Wolf.
Lu Heng's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed his final strike with all his might.
laugh--
A silent penetration.
The Insect Armor Sword pierced straight through all the illusory black mist, precisely penetrating the very core of its origin.
The Greedy Wolf Power spontaneously activated the moment it came into contact with the source of the Nightmare Eater, devouring it inwards along the wound.
This is an instinct inherent to the Greedy Wolf, and Lu Heng doesn't need to deliberately urge it on.
The entire mass of black mist was stiff and still.
The violent struggles, the frenzied collisions, and the chaotic mental fluctuations all came to an abrupt halt.
The black mist dissipated and dissipated from the core outwards. The Origin Energy that the Nightmare Eater released did not disperse into the air. Instead, it was drawn by the Greedy Wolf Power and flowed backwards along the sword blade, merging into Lu Heng's spiritual Sea of Consciousness and integrating into his own spiritual system.
This plundered source of energy just filled the void left by the massive depletion of mental energy. The dull pain in his head still lingered, but the overexertion was stabilized, preventing a complete collapse.
The once spacious hall fell silent again.
The Wristband immediately displays a cold alert:
[Silver Tier Aberrant - Nightmare Eater, successfully defeated.]
Almost simultaneously, the long-dormant imprint of the Forest Will within Lu Heng's body suddenly glowed faintly.
A gentle sense of confirmation slowly emerged.
The curtain has fallen completely.
This Aberrant spirit, hiding in the building and surviving perpetually by relying on negative human emotions, the true vessel for this World Fragment, has been utterly destroyed.
The ground was empty. After a moment, a neatly arranged system treasure chest slowly appeared, with several monster-exclusive drop items scattered around it.
Lu Heng stepped forward and scanned them one by one.
[Silver Tier Soul Crystal]
[Silver Tier Energy Core]
[Silver Tier Flesh Core]
[High-grade flexible body material (can be woven and forged into armor)]
[World Fragment Product - Dream Seed]
He first put the entire treasure chest into his Wristband without opening it, leaving it for later processing.
The remaining four items were collected one by one.
Finally, Lu Heng pinched the slightly cool, thin Dream Seed between his fingertips.
The Wristband's description appears:
[Dream Seed: The ultimate gift of World Fragment. Inheriting the original ability of Nightmare Eater, it can absorb the negative emotions, fear, decadence, and despair of surrounding creatures and convert them into its own energy for recovery.]
Lu Heng stared for a moment, then understood.
This thing is amazing; its battery life is incredible.
But it's not suitable for me.
All his spiritual power is rooted in the starry sky and the Greedy Wolf Star Power, and its attributes are pure, fierce, and domineering.
The Dream Seed thrive and persist by relying on negative emotions in the human world.
The two systems are completely contradictory.
Forcing integration will only disrupt one's own spiritual foundation, resulting in more harm than good.
In this life-or-death battle, the Blood Taisui exhausted its own resources, locked down a powerful enemy, and suffered enormous losses. It made the greatest contribution but also paid the heaviest price.
Furthermore, the Blood Taisui is inherently a symbiotic and mutated life form, absorbing turbid energy, negative energy, and alien origins, making it perfectly compatible.
Without hesitation.
Lu Heng's mind stirred slightly, and he delivered the Dream Seed to the symbiotic link, directly gifting it to the Blood Taisui for fusion and absorption, to replenish all the overdrafts from this battle and completely restore his original source.
After finishing everything, Lu Heng raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temples.
The dull ache from mental exhaustion lingered, but had stabilized. The Bone Demon stood to the side, still maintaining a vigilant stance.
The crisis surrounding this abandoned building has been completely eliminated.
