"Time and space are being interfered with?"
Bai Yuekui was shocked, as she was most sensitive to the abnormal flow of time in that area.
So she immediately reversed her time-slowing ability and applied it to the gravedigger's distorted spacetime region.
Two forces involving time collided violently.
Although Bai Yuekui's ability level seemed slightly inferior, her intervention successfully disrupted the tomb guardian's control over time and space, causing the effects of the time-space tombstone to momentarily become disordered.
It was this moment of chaos.
Mark seized this fleeting opportunity, compressing the Annihilation Shoulder Cannon on the End Watcher's shoulder to its maximum energy...
"Annihilation Bomb!"
A concentrated ion bomb, radiating an aura of destruction, tore through the air and hurtled towards the gravedigger, whose movements were slightly hampered by the interference with his abilities.
Faced with the oncoming attack, a fierce glint flashed in the gravedigger's eyes. He forcibly stabilized spacetime, and a thick, gray shield made of decaying force field instantly materialized in front of him.
"boom!!!"
The annihilation bomb struck the decay shield and exploded violently.
Ion energy and decay forces annihilated each other wildly, and the shockwave tore a huge hole in the surrounding dark realm.
The gravedigger was jolted back several steps by the force of the explosion, and cracks appeared all over his gray shield.
But he still didn't suffer any real harm.
"It's useless. In my domain, even energy will be depleted..."
Just as the tomb keeper was about to speak, Bai Yuekui appeared above his head without him even noticing.
The Tai Chi core on the chest of the Pure Candle mech rotated to its limit, and the four Returning Origin Light Wings fully unfolded, radiating a warm and pure brilliance like the sun.
She raised the Tang sword high with both hands, the physical blade perfectly merging with the golden energy condensed in the mecha, transforming into a gigantic blade of light that reached the heavens and the earth.
"Tracing Light Slash - Severing the Flow!"
This strike embodies Boss Bai's understanding of the essence of life, integrates the immense life energy of the Pure Candle, and is further enhanced by the ability to accelerate time. It does not affect the enemy, but rather the strike itself, allowing this attack to transcend the constraints of normal time.
Chapter 255 Bad Premonition
The blade of light fell silently, as if even time itself could be severed.
Wherever the blade flashed, the gravedigger's eternal night cemetery territory melted away like snow melting in the spring sun.
The dense darkness and the icy stillness all seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this pure life and the blade of time.
The gravedigger's pupils constricted as he sensed a deadly threat. He frantically urged the decay of matter to affect spacetime and try to deflect the blade, but the light blade seemed to exist between reality and illusion, greatly reducing the effect of the decay power. The distorted spacetime was also cleaved open by the blade's relentless advance.
"impossible!"
The blade of light ultimately grazed the gravedigger's body.
Although no blood splattered, his gray robe instantly turned to ashes, revealing his gaunt body covered with even more gruesome radiation scars.
He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and suddenly knelt down, coughing up black blood that reeked of decay. The eerie and powerful aura around him receded like a tide, and the eerie green light on his face dimmed to the extreme.
The tomb keeper suffered an unprecedented blow, his very life essence severely eroded by the life and time power contained in that single strike.
Bai Yuekui landed slowly, the energy of the Pure Candle was mostly consumed, clearly the attack just now had also greatly depleted her energy.
Mark controlled the End Watcher to step forward, pointing the greatsword at the heavily wounded Gravekeeper to prevent him from launching a dying counterattack.
The gravedigger struggled to raise his head, revealing his terrifying and aged face. He stared intently at Bai Yuekui and Mark, his eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.
"Life...time...decay...rebirth..."
He spoke haltingly, but eventually collapsed and lost consciousness.
"He's not dead yet, but he won't pose a threat for the time being."
Bai Yuekui sheathed his Tang sword. "We must ensure the safety of this place and wait for news from Chen Yuan."
Mark nodded, leaning wearily against the wall. "The outcome over there should be decided soon."
At this very moment... before the entrance to the Guanghan Palace, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and smoke filled the air.
The bloody battle between the space pirate alliance and the moon palace guards is nearing its end. With the defeat of the Dragon Fang Squad and the system's paralysis, the scales of victory have tipped.
But there seemed to be a turning point; a suffocating pressure suddenly descended slowly from the depths of the Moon Palace.
The highest ruler of the Moon Palace, the First Seat Xuanyuan Jing, has finally made his appearance.
He was not wearing the legendary Pangu-type armor, but only a plain white robe of the Moon Palace Council, with a few strands of dark blue hair moving without wind.
Xuanyuan Jing walked steadily, stepping on the air with each step. His deep eyes swept across the battlefield, finally settling on Chen Yuan, who was suspended in mid-air and surrounded by nanoparticles.
"I heard that you founded the Shadow Society to change all of humanity, but all I see now is endless slaughter."
Xuanyuan Jing said calmly, "This is the Moon Palace, the last pure land of human civilization. I never believed the letter you wrote to me from beginning to end."
Chen Yuan slowly descended, the nano-mask retracted, revealing his face. "Pure Land? Ha, a Pure Land that abandoned its home planet, lingered on the moon, isolated from its own people? Xuanyuan Mirror, times have changed, the old path is no longer viable."
"It seems that words cannot awaken you."
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Chen Yuan, his deep eyes seeming to shimmer with starlight. "You only have the upper hand now, but you won't stay there forever. Let me personally see what you're capable of."
After saying that, Xuanyuan Jing's figure vanished instantly.
It's not about high-speed movement, but rather something closer to spatial folding.
Before Chen Yuan could even react, a seemingly ordinary hand had already pressed down on his nano-chest armor.
"boom!!"
An indescribable force erupted.
Chen Yuan was struck head-on by the main cannon of a starship, instantly transforming into a silver meteor and flying backward, crashing through three thick alloy walls before barely managing to stop himself.
He looked down and saw that the nanosuit on his chest was deeply dented, but fortunately the nanocore was repairing itself.
"cough……"
Chen Yuan coughed up a mouthful of silver blood mixed with nanoparticles, his eyes filled with horror.
Just one blow!
If he weren't currently in a nano-core body far exceeding the norm, he would have been severely injured, if not killed, just now.
Xuanyuan Jing's strength at the late stage of the seventh rank is indeed beyond what he can currently contend with.
"Not bad defense. Your physical body seems to be something special."
Xuanyuan Jing's voice suddenly rang out from ahead, approaching again without anyone noticing, "But how many times can you withstand this?"
The two clashed again, or rather, one-sided domination began.
The power of the Xuanyuan Mirror is virtually unbeatable.
He seemed to be able to foresee the future. No matter what Chen Yuan attacked, whether it was a tricky spatial blade, a violent molecular disintegration sword, or a stealthy shadow attack with all his abilities fully unleashed, the opponent could always dodge it by the slightest margin, or deflect it with the simplest spatial distortion, thus neutralizing the attack.
Chen Yuan maximized his abilities and the nanosuit.
"Spatial teleportation!"
Chen Yuan went all out and instantly appeared behind Xuanyuan Mirror, unleashing a pulse energy cannon at point-blank range.
Xuanyuan didn't turn his camera back. The space around him rippled slightly, and the energy beam, as if hitting an invisible mirror, refracted back along its original path, blasting Chen Yuan away.
"Electromagnetic gravitational field!"
Xuanyuan Jing merely raised an eyebrow, moving freely despite being at the center of the gravitational field: "Manipulating gravity superficially? That's not your ability, and your understanding of spatial power is still at a superficial level."
With a casual wave of his hand, the gravity field exerted by Chen Yuan was forcibly disrupted, and the gravity was reversed, pressing Chen Yuan himself towards the ground.
"Shadow Mastery!"
Chen Yuan faded into the shadows, unwilling to give up and seeking another opportunity.
"Information traceability".
A flash of silver light appeared in Xuanyuan Mirror's eyes, as if he could see through everything that had happened here in the past few seconds, and he pointed a finger precisely at the location where Chen Yuan was about to appear in the shadow.
A spatial compression wave erupted, completely shredding the shadowy area. Chen Yuan was forced to reveal himself in a disheveled state, suffering new injuries.
"boom!"
"Crack!"
"boom!"
Chen Yuan was like a sandbag being wantonly trampled, being knocked away time and time again, his nanosuit breaking and repairing itself again and again.
With broken bones and shattered internal organs, he would have died countless times if he hadn't possessed a nano-core body with near-immortal regenerative abilities.
Chen Yuan's weakness was his head; he could barely defend himself, but he couldn't attack his opponent.
The more he fought, the more frustrated he became. Despite his immense strength and uncanny abilities, he felt utterly powerless before his opponent's absolute power, which seemed to see and control everything.
Chen Yuan could only rely on the repairing power of the nano-core to struggle and maintain the illusion of invincibility.
Xuanyuan Jing appeared calm, but his heart was not without turmoil.
Xuanyuan Jing thought to himself: This person's resilience far exceeds my imagination. This nanotechnology is definitely not a remnant of the old world. What opportunity did he obtain? As for the tomb keeper... why hasn't he activated the planet-destroying beam cannon yet? I can't hold it up by myself alone. Could something have happened to the tomb keeper?
He is waiting.
Once the gravedigger manually activates the ultimate weapon, victory will be secured in one fell swoop, and all invaders will be wiped out.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Mirror wanted to thoroughly understand Chen Yuan's background, and also because maintaining high-intensity spacetime manipulation was a huge drain on him. He was waiting for the best opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
Time ticked by as Chen Yuan struggled to hold on.
Xuanyuan Jing frowned slightly; the tomb keeper's continued silence was beyond his expectations.
A sense of foreboding began to spread in his heart.
