Chapter 726: Annihilate Completely
Fear spread among everyone's hearts. Even though many of those who had come here were renowned Nirvana Beings from across the cosmos, facing such bizarre Asura Ghosts, their hearts were likewise filled with extreme terror.
Looking down from above, the Asura Ghost observed Di Esi on the ground like an ant, without launching another attack.
Glancing briefly at the Nirvana Beings scattering in flight, it suddenly hurled the strange White Jade Blade in its hand toward the ground.
With a crisp jade-like chime, the White Jade Blade directly pierced the earth, vanishing into the rock in an instant. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
The next second, including Lin Shen within their number, the fleeing Nirvana Beings suddenly felt a heaviness in their bodies, and one by one, they fell from the sky like meteors.
A rain of Nirvana Beings began from the sky, each with different postures as they plummeted, some diving headfirst into rocks, others slapping flatly against the ground, displaying all sorts of odd poses.
Lin Shen, whose escape was not slow, also fell to the ground, but fortunately reacted quickly. His feet landed, burying themselves in the shattered rock.
Lin Shen tried to pull his legs out but discovered that the gravity of the planet seemed abnormally high; he couldn't pull his legs out at first attempt.
The other Nirvana Beings also wore faces of terror, realizing it was not just a problem of being unable to fly, but that the gravity of the planet had become unimaginably heavy.
The tall mountains around them, because of this terrifying gravity, began to collapse; the earth seemed to contract, rocks split open, squeezed upward, forming new mountain ranges.
Yet, these pressed-up mountains, once reaching a certain height, collapsed again due to the terrifying gravity.
The whole continent vibrated intensely as if it was the end of the world.
The Nirvana Beings wanted to run, but their speed was unimaginably slow. Now, their speed could not even match that of Ascenders.
Lin Shen was originally an Ascender, and although his strength and speed were much stronger than average Ascenders, they were slightly inferior to those of Nirvana Beings. In this situation, he ran even slower than those Ascenders.
"It's toxic… truly toxic… I just wanted to get a pet by my side… how did I encounter such a monster…" Lin Shen felt numb, wondering how a simple monster hunt for pet eggs could have turned out like this.
Bing Leiya also ran, slightly faster than Lin Shen, but still limitedly so; to run to the teleporter at this speed would surely take hours.
"Stop running, we can't possibly outrun the Asura Ghost. If we unite and fight, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope," Feng Feitian roared, his body surging with golden light, holding the Phoenix Feather.
But hardly anyone listened to him; those who were running still ran desperately, already frightened by the Asura Ghost, not daring to engage in battle with it.
Many harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking perhaps the Asura Ghost only wanted to kill those who had stolen the pet eggs, and would not pursue them.
Hearing this, Lin Shen gritted his teeth and ran towards Feng Feitian and Huang Feiwu. He also wanted to flee, but as one of those who had stolen the pet eggs, he was the first one the Asura Ghost would want to kill. He was definitely the one who couldn't escape.
Some other Nirvana Beings, whether or not they took Feng Feitian's words to heart, also started moving towards his location.
Bing Leiya was among them, sharing similar thoughts to Lin Shen; after fighting the Asura Ghost for so long, he figured that once the Asura Ghost had killed Lin Shen and Di Esi, he would likely be next.
Rather than being chased later, he might as well stick together now for warmth.
"What the hell is this thing, did he just become Immortal?" Bing Leiya met up with Lin Shen and spoke dejectedly.
"There is no Immortality, this isn't the Immortal Laws. It must be some kind of innate ability. He is still a Nirvana Creature, but not an ordinary Nirvana Creature…" Feng Feitian stared at the Asura Ghost in the sky and said.
"He is not an ordinary Nirvana Creature… then what kind of Nirvana Creature is he…" Bing Leiya also knew that the Asura Ghost was not just any Nirvana Creature, it was plain to see.
"I don't know." Feng Feitian stared at the Asura Ghost, his expression grave as he spoke, "I've only read in some records about Base Mutation Creatures that could transform into flesh and blood bodies. The records were scarce, but those Base Mutation Creatures that could transform had unimaginably terrifying abilities, even easily killing those of higher levels. I thought it was just a legend, and yet, such beings actually exist."
The Asura Ghost in the sky just coldly watched them without making another move. His gaze landed on Lin Shen, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Is it a bit late to return the Pet Eggs now?" Lin Shen said glumly.
"Too late or not, from his expression, he's set on killing you," Bing Leiya said from his side.
With a flash of starlight, Di Esi also arrived nearby. The wound on his chest had been mended by stardust, but it didn't seem quite right; it looked like his injuries hadn't healed completely.
"The Asura Ghost is indeed at the Nirvana Level, but his Power of Nirvana has become unimaginably strong. Even if I underwent Nirvana ten more times, I would probably never reach his level," Di Esi said.
"What is he waiting for?" Huang Feiwu suddenly said.
No one could answer her question. They all harbored the same doubt in their hearts.
The Asura Ghost had only slashed Di Esi once, then used the White Jade Blade to increase the planet's gravity. After that, he just kept watching them from the air, not making another move—strange indeed.
While they were puzzled, they saw the Asura Ghost release the White Jade Blade.
Everyone was shocked, bursting out their Strength, ready for a do-or-die battle.
Everyone's eyes watched the White Jade Blade falling; it slowly descended and just as it was about to stab into the ground, it suddenly stopped.
The blade was less than a centimeter from the ground before it slowly flipped to its side.
The next second, the White Jade Blade moved again, turning into a white streak of lightning, flying close to the ground.
Cries of agony arose as Nirvana Beings, their bodies wrapped in Carapace, were pierced through as if they were made of foam.
They were too slow to avoid it. Some Nirvana Beings struggled, wielding their Life Bases or summoning Pet Eggs, but they all put up a futile fight against the lightning formed by the White Jade Blade.
Both the Life Bases and Pet Eggs were pierced through; in the blink of an eye, countless Nirvana Beings had died.
More Nirvana Beings didn't even have a chance to fight before they were impaled by the White Jade Blade and met their untimely deaths.
In just a moment, the White Jade Blade returned to the hands of the Asura Ghost. Apart from a dozen Nirvana Beings who had gathered together, all other Nirvana Beings had perished.
Looking at the Asura Ghost in the sky, everyone felt a chill, knowing the Asura Ghost was clearly intent on annihilating everyone without sparing a single soul.
