Chapter 278
Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread to every glowing floating island.
The Wilderness Beast sealed by the Spacetime Amber —the ferocious giant spiders, the shadowy jellyfish, the mountain-like shelled behemoths—all their frozen postures loosened at the same time, and time began to flow again on their bodies.
Among all the figures, the smallest one was an inconspicuous piece of insect-shaped remains, only a quarter of its original size.
In the instant the change occurred, all the bodily characteristics that had been out of sync due to the freezing of time flooded into this long-parched body like a torrent.
[Myriad Transformation Furnace], [Key of Tuning], [Gluttony], [Banishment], [Turn Stone into Gold], [Duel Invitation], [Cellular-Level Regeneration], [Spatial Cutting], [Bullet Time], [Abnormal Status Immunity V]...
And Wen Jing's most recent evolution utilizes the three fundamental forces of the universe: [Electromagnetic Control], [Nuclear Force Convergence], and [Touch of Decay].
All features are synchronized without leaving the site.
Although the trapped Clone's attribute values were far inferior to those of other Clone that had undergone countless devouring, its essential abilities instantly reached the same level.
Conversely, if Wen Jing's consciousness were to be recycled into a Clone, all that would remain would be a pile of high-density, high-strength materials, and none of the various biological passive characteristics would exist.
What truly brought about a qualitative change was the characteristics of her consciousness.
The next moment, the remaining half of the compound eye on the mangled body flickered with an eerie light, and the pale white color on the alien insect's body quickly dimmed, turning into black that absorbed all light radiation.
Her presence rapidly diminished, becoming a transparent shadow.
Meanwhile, a silent chaos is erupting in the void.
The other Wilderness Beast trapped in the Spacetime Amber were not Wen Jing; because of the panel, their consciousness could still move while they were trapped.
For them, the time of being sealed does not exist.
From being captured by the Spacetime Amber to being unsealed at this moment, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
But in that 'moment' later, they discovered that many unfamiliar and powerful threats had appeared around them.
What they will do is, without a doubt.
Infected by Wen Jing, the giant insect of the [Ice Domain] took the lead in attacking. The red and blue crystal tubes on its back suddenly burst out with visible energy ripples, and wherever they passed, the void twisted into a spiral shape.
The giant spider, not to be outdone, plunged its eight sharp legs into the void and spewed out extremely cold Frost Vein Silk from its mouthparts, making it far stronger than the spider king that Wen Jing had killed in the upper underground level.
The shadow jellyfish on one side broke apart, splitting into countless tiny, glowing tentacles.
The Wilderness Beast instantly switched to battle stances, but Wen Jing remained lurking at the edge of the battlefield, like a speck of dust that had been ignored.
The average attribute of this Clone is only two hundred points. The two Clone are maintaining their black hole seclusion to study, and another Clone is active in the Empire under the identity of Weiluo. Neither of them can come to provide assistance at the moment.
Of course, no assistance is needed.
Under Wen Jing's Information Perception, the group of Wilderness Beast before her, whose strength was equivalent to that of a top-tier A-level Awakened —the terrifying enemies she had initially been forced to flee from—revealed all their abilities and weaknesses...
"Boom boom boom!"
The battle reached a fever pitch within minutes.
The giant insect's crystalline tubes shone brightly, and its massive tail swept across the Void Spider King with a Scorching Heat energy unlike anything found in subterranean creatures.
The Spider King leaped with its eight legs, barely dodging the attack, but exposing another mountain-like carapace-like behemoth behind it to the path of attack. The behemoth was hit head-on by the energy, large cracks shattering on its carapace, and it roared as it pounced on the giant insect.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Shadow Jellyfish wrapped its split bodies around the giant spider's joints. Those tentacles, like a leech, frantically absorbed the spider king's energy.
The Spider King angrily tore at the void, but could only shatter it into pieces.
The battlefield grew increasingly chaotic, with more and more Wilderness Beast falling and the aftershocks of energy scattering everywhere.
Suddenly, in an instant, Wen Jing moved.
The [Touch of Decay] that affects the weak nuclear force is released silently toward the target.
"Roar--!"
The carapace-like behemoth, caught between the giant insect and the spider king, suddenly let out a shrill cry.
That incredibly hard shell, which had allowed it to fight to this day under the combined attack of two powerful enemies, actually began to Disintegration from the inside. The power that solidified the basic particles disappeared for no reason, and grayish-white powder fell from the cracks, revealing the fragile core inside.
The moment after the core is exposed.
"Sizzle!"
Wen Jing didn't approach 'like lightning,' but actually switched to [Electromagnetic Control], transforming himself into lightning and striking the core.
[Nuclear Force Convergence]!
The carapace, which had just turned to dust, solidified again and even became harder.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The giant insect and the spider king didn't even notice that an enemy had appeared for a moment. They only felt the life force of the carapace behemoth Extreme Speed disappearing and the sense of threat diminishing.
So the giant worm and the Void Spider King turned their attacks on each other.
"Bang!"
In another collision, one of the Spider King's legs was severed by the energy from the crystal tube, while the giant worm's abdomen was corroded by spider silk, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone.
At this moment, the body of the lifeless carapace Extreme Speed contracted, and a strange, shadowy figure emerged from it.
A flash of lightning streaked across the compound eye.
A tiny electromagnetic disturbance was encountered near the giant worm's wound, causing a slight disruption in the bioelectric currents within its body.
This disruption slowed the giant worm's dodge of the Spider King's next attack by half a second.
The spider king's chelicerae pierced precisely into the giant insect's crystalline tube.
"Boom!"
The crystal tube shattered, and the scorching energy, like a runaway stellar storm, engulfed both the giant insect and the spider king. The powerful shockwave swept across the entire battlefield, bombarding the other Wilderness Beast that were still facing off against each other.
In the midst of this storm, a dark figure bravely faced the challenge.
All energy and matter that came into contact with it were absorbed.
Inside the storm's core, the giant worm and the spider king, both severely injured, had not yet recovered when the dark alien worms drew near.
Even after Wen Jing returned to her normal size after devouring the carapace behemoth, she was still no match for the two Wilderness Beast. However, after being empowered by strong nuclear force, the density of her mouthparts increased dramatically to the level of a neutron star, making her comparable to the normal state of her Strongest Clone.
"Whoosh!"
A sprint.
It struck the core weaknesses of both the giant worm and the spider king.
Immediately afterwards, her figure moved between the two Wilderness Beast, leaving only a circular passage in her wake.
The more it devours, the stronger it becomes; the stronger it becomes, the faster it devours.
The surrounding Wilderness Beast felt the energy storm rapidly weakening, and at the same time, an aura that gradually grew stronger rose from within it.
At first glance, the size of this aura seemed similar to that of the giant insect and the spider king, but for every second they lingered, the danger warnings from their life instincts increased by one point... no, they increased Geometry!
Several Wilderness Beast with keen senses had already fled outwards, following their instincts.
But by then it was too late.
The next moment, space trembled, and an invisible gravitational bowstring was pulled. The more the Wilderness Beast accelerated outward, the more they fell inward.
At the center of the fall of the two most powerful Wilderness Beast, a black hole rose that devoured everything.
Before long, Wen Jing was surrounded by nothing.
Whether it was the Spacetime Amber that had imprisoned her Clone for nearly four years, or the Wilderness Beast that had been sealed inside in the past.
[Gained the trait ' Extreme Cold ']
Wen Jing's former ' Intermediate Extreme Cold Physique ' has directly transformed into a more direct ' Extreme Cold,' and he now understands the principle behind this area.
The rule of this Spacetime Amber region is that all movement and change tends towards absolute stillness.
This is an absolute zero in a transcendental state, where the 'entropy' of all objects illuminated by the light of the Extreme Cold is locked at a minimum value.
The reason it was able to be unsealed now is because Wen Jing used Standardization Meme infect the giant insect with the Ice Domain.
However, it's not that the Ice Domain itself can counteract the Extreme Cold, but rather that the 'Stillness Rule' is a state in itself. She used infection to add a characteristic that the giant worm didn't have before, thus breaking the balance of this state in terms of information.
Now that he has acquired this property, Wen Jing's Frost Vein Silk Gland have undergone a qualitative change, enabling him to create extreme cold that is infinitely close to absolute zero.
However, devouring the Spacetime Amber is certainly not the end...
"Boom--!"
The gravel surface suddenly collapsed, and a pitch-black figure shot into the sky from the ground. All matter within a kilometer in diameter around it disappeared, forming a straight vacuum channel.
The 'sun' in the sky seemed to sense something, and its eternally stable, blazing white light suddenly trembled.
Then came an even more intense light.
[Scorching Thirst Contamination] suddenly erupted.
The terrifying terms that nearly killed Wen Jing's true form with just a glance back then are now nothing more than a trivial disturbance to her.
Level 5 Abnormal Status Immunity represents comprehensive resistance below the rule level.
Not to mention the restorative power of [Cellular-Level Regeneration], the energy absorption properties of [the Myriad Transformation Furnace], and the newly acquired power of the opposite [Extreme Cold].
Wen Jing's figure soared straight into the sky, his speed not slowing down at all, but rather accelerating!
The once unbearable Stellar Beast has finally revealed its true form.
It was a massive plasma sphere undergoing continuous nuclear fusion reactions, with a diameter exceeding one hundred kilometers.
Its surface is an outer shell made of solidified plasma. Deep inside the sphere, one can vaguely see a dense array of enormous organs, like sunspots, each frantically consuming and releasing energy.
With her Information Perception, her life energy cycle system, capabilities, and weaknesses were like unfolded blueprints.
The Stellar Beast seemed to sense the danger from the newcomers and, instead of passively releasing pollution, launched an active attack.
