Free Web NovelChapter 2461: Chapter 2462: Annihilation
Under the combined efforts of Xiao Ji and Long Boduo, the Flesh Giant Mountain did not disappear; instead, it transformed into a White Bone Mountain. Despite this, the life force of this enormous creature decreased slightly, yet it remained more powerful than anyone present.
Indeed, the former Flesh Giant Mountain, now a White Bone Mountain, possesses a level of life force that even Veronia and the others cannot match. It is precisely for this reason that Veronia and the others were amazed by the formidable power of the Anti-Divine Beast.
One cannot help but marvel that this forbidden existence, merely a being created by a rune, possesses such terrifying attributes.
Neither Veronia nor anyone else can believe that this was a beast created by the true Twisted Sinide, for aside from its extraordinary life force, it has no other attributes.
"It’s only a rune, yet it’s this strong. If the original shows up, do we really stand a chance?"
Eyeing the White Bone Mountain, which continues to withstand powerful attacks while maintaining robust life force, Yang Hongzhi spoke worriedly, to which Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said,
"Impossible. If Twisted Sinide were truly here, Agunas and the others would undoubtedly risk harm to the Time River to eliminate the entire Imperial Timeline."
Feng Yuan wasn’t joking. If the Imperial Timeline truly had the presence of an Anti-Divine Beast, Agunas and the others would join forces to erase the entire timeline. The damage of wiping out a timeline is evidently smaller than the impact caused by an Anti-Divine Beast.
Looking at Feng Yuan, Yang Hongzhi didn’t quite understand the certainty but didn’t question further. The future isn’t for them to consider now. At the very least, they must first deal with the White Bone Mountain.
Long Boduo’s ultimate move continued, and watching the relentless broken souls emerging from the White Bone Mountain, Qi Chen’s face turned grim. How many people had this thing killed!
"Until Transcendence is complete, you’d better behave."
Noticing the White Bone Mountain enduring the combined attack of Qi Chen and the others and preparing to unleash its ultimate move, Feng Yuan sneered, flipping open the black Ancient Book before him. With his right hand gripping the sickle’s long handle and his left hand wiping it, the long-handled sickle transformed into a peculiar longbow. Black arrows began to form, mysterious golden runes etched on them.
Aiming toward the White Bone Mountain, Feng Yuan released his fingers, and arrows flew out, splitting into nine equally-sized arrows in the air, each tracing elegant curves and landing around the White Bone Mountain.
The arrows exploded in the air, morphing into gray-robed spectral figures floating with sword tips downward, a powerful restraining force descended, forcibly interrupting the White Bone Mountain’s nearly completed ultimate move.
Veronia cast a brief glance at Feng Yuan and then ignored him. With his strength, sealing the White Bone Mountain’s actions is no challenge. What they must do is seize this opportunity to separate all the broken souls from within the White Bone Mountain.
This is precisely why Feng Yuan and his group boast sufficient strength. Otherwise, they’d never dream of attempting this—they summon broken souls, primarily to offer psychological comfort to the living. Even Qi Chen and the others are well aware that after releasing the broken souls, dealing with the White Bone Mountain or direct eradication of the Flesh Giant Mountain poses little difference.
Nonetheless, even knowing this, Qi Chen is willing to take the risk.
"Flesh derivative? No, Twisted Sinide..."
Agunas and the others struggled to break through the chaotic space at the perimeter, only to encounter another wandering Flesh Giant Mountain at the city outskirts. Leveraging information from Veronia’s side, Agunas soon understood what this was.
After pondering for a moment, Agunas flicked its tail and said,
"Watch the defense, avoid the red mist, and don’t let that thing touch you."
Recalling earlier individual mutations triggered by red mist, Agunas suspected the red mist held deep ties with this entity. Had it not sensed anomaly in time and forcibly erased the infected timeline via time reversal, non-combat losses might have occurred.
Though Agunas didn’t elaborate, the rescue team discerned shared traits between the red mist and this entity, prompting adherence to Agunas’ advice, though this clearly couldn’t save those assimilated.
After a contemplative spell, Agunas flipped through the tome in hand, with the Time River’s projection reemerging—this time, with eerily violent power.
Fixated on the Flesh Giant Mountain, Agunas awkwardly swung its claws, as if suppressed by a terrifying presence’s aura.
A path saturated with the Breath of Death emerged out of thin air; Long Boduo glanced with curiosity toward Agunas’ direction.
Under normal circumstances, Divine Beast Technique remains unaffected by Time Projection, yet now the circumstances proved special—Agunas aggressively threw in the Time River, and the repeated Divine Beast Technique continued.
Indeed, Agunas based on Veronia’s intelligence, opted to forcibly project Xiao Ji and Long Boduo’s Divine Beast Technique. As Time Divine Beast, Agunas lacked direct soul-targeting methods, hence couldn’t forcibly extract the souls within Flesh Giant Mountain.
Yet even so, absence of Tamur’s power rendered the Divine Beast Technique weaker than original. After all, Xiao Ji and the others benefitted from Mythical Transformation.
"Impossible, launch attacks toward it first! Avoid physical contact!"
Before the skies tore, Agunas perceived issues and immediately addressed the rescue team, who, though perplexed by Agunas’ actions, sensed clarity upon spotting the broken souls peeking from Flesh Giant Mountain.
Directing ultimate move to bypass broken souls and assault Flesh Giant Mountain, it proved vain without Mythical Transformation—even if rescue team outnumbered and outpowered Feng Yuan’s group, actual suppressive force fell short.
Upon attacking Flesh Giant Mountain, broken souls began surfacing; observing their drift toward the Road to the Underworld, everyone grasped Agunas’ purpose.
Attacks persistently rained on Flesh Giant Mountain, yet their efforts merely tickled the Mountain of Flesh and Blood’s prodigious life force.
Instead, the prolonged choreography of Crimson Judgment delivered Agunas a surprise; due to its crafty nature, the revival of Crimson Judgment didn’t pale significantly versus Xiao Ji’s direct deployment.
Although Xiao Ji enjoyed Mythical Transformation’s boost, its innate strength boundaries stood—Mythical Transformation rose rule intensity alone.
For Agunas, controlling Crimson Judgment was elusive, yet given Flesh Giant Mountain’s girth, securing range prevented missed shots. Thanks to Agunas’ higher prowess, the scope of Crimson Judgment far exceeded Xiao Ji’s.
Quantity substituted quality, rendering Crimson Judgment’s power marginally under Mythical Transformation-enhanced Xiao Ji’s personal execution.
Thus, under Crimson Judgment’s assault, broken souls burgeoned forth, drifting toward the Road to the Underworld.
After the final broken soul departed, viewing the bone mountain long devoid of broken souls, Feng Yuan sighed before speaking,
"It should be... done, let’s act."
Having waited, Veronia snorted lightly before affirming,
"Let it rampage for so long; it won’t be finished off that easily."
Crystal Vine swiftly spread under the Crystal Giant’s control, entwining the White Bone Mountain. Unlike the Flesh Giant Mountain, the White Bone Mountain’s suppleness lacked, slender tendrils penetrated bone cracks, preventing vine removal.
internally, the shifting bones sought expulsion of tendrils, their appearance rock-hard yet, akin to mud, deformable at will, yet devoid of past, lacking shape memory post-soul extraction.
As bones morphed, the White Bone Mountain gradually liquefied into pallid sludgy form.
"Soul-absent, transformation into this pitiful existence strips past, self, any self-imprint,"
Feng Yuan remarked icily observing the liquefying Mountain. Qi Chen’s group could handle this; removal of broken souls stifled most proactive attack forms.
As for assimilation capability? Avoid contact; there’s minimal danger.
Sighing, Feng Yuan quietly observed the White Bone Mountain vanish amid repeated ultimate moves. For reasons unknown—fear or else— Qi Chen’s group persisted beyond making it vanish, ceaselessly attacking until, with laborious breath, halting before the crater they carved.
