Capítulo 1367: Chapter 696: The Peak Tanwus, Vulnerable to a Single Blow

Although it’s unclear why the sudden attack occurred, or how long the enemy had been lying in wait.

One thing is certain: they didn’t attack Li Ming without deeper reasons.

Costate glanced at him and explained, “What I an is…”

Before he could finish, the screen behind him suddenly flashed red, and an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the conference room.

“Highest ergency event?” Costate’s face slightly changed, disregarding everything else as he hurriedly turned around.

This kind of ergency event required the highest authority, By the ti he turned, the screen already displayed a commander with a solemn expression.

“Commander Veen…” Costate’s tone was urgent, “What happened?”

Veen quickly reported, “The blood mist has suddenly shown large-scale changes.”

“Hm?” Costate’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the others also looked over.

This commander had already synchronized the current state, showing the endless blood mist in the starfield retracting at a visible speed.

In the vastness of space without a reference scale, to show a speed visible to the naked eye is extrely fast.

“Retraction?” Everyone’s faces showed slight surprise, imdiately thinking of what Li Ming had just said.

“When did this happen?” Costate further inquired.

“Just an hour after Lord Azure Dragon entered the blood mist.” Veen explained.

“Azure Dragon entered the blood mist?” Costate was even more shocked.

The others had varied expressions; ever since the blood mist crisis erupted, Li Ming had never delved into it, and now he had entered on his own initiative.

“You didn’t know?” Veen was also surprised, “I thought Lord Azure Dragon…”

Suddenly, Veen added, “Then you all probably don’t know about Lord Azure Dragon absorbing the blood mist either?”

“He’s absorbing the blood mist?” Anduin was stunned, a sense of urgency rising on his face, “How could the Chairman use such a thod?”

Veen had already brought up the video again, showing a massive blood mist vortex with a blurry center, obscuring any clear silhouette.

But Veen added: “This vortex appeared shortly after Lord Azure Dragon went in, constantly expanding until the blood mist retracted to the size of a star system and continually chasing the blood mist’s retracting boundary.”

Costate’s face was tense, and the conference room fell silent.

The characteristics of the blood mist were long understood; it could have an irresistible impact on life forms, even causing genetic mutations.

If the quantity accumulates to a certain degree, it can erode even X Level life forms.

Though Li Ming is an Ultimate Life Form, he can’t withstand qualitative changes born from quantitative accumulation; Azure Dragon uses a way that harms himself to solve the problem.

“Probably, he had no other solution.” Costate sighed, a peculiar feeling in his heart.

Ultimately, Azure Dragon was still at the forefront, and if it were Adam instead…

He instinctively thought of his older brother, montarily lost in thought.

Anduin suddenly stood up, solemnly saying, “The Chairman sacrificed himself to finally create a variable.”

“As the blood mist retracts, a core will inevitably appear. Now is the best opportunity; we should imdiately mobilize everyone and move toward the retracting blood mist.”

“At worst, tighten the encirclent to prevent the blood mist from expanding again.”

“Indeed.” Costate regained his senses and imdiately issued a series of commands in the command system, while Anduin went to notify all X Level life forms.

If mishandled, this concerns everyone’s safety. Even the always-cunning Anatoli moved silently without saying much.

The warti command system operated at full strength, issuing the highest instructions. The Three Great Civilizations had already built a periter at the blood mist boundary, and now was the best opportunity to tighten it.

However, even with imdiate response using Star Gate teleportation, they were still a step too slow upon reaching the front line, with the blood mist nearly imperceptible in retraction.

Anduin and others didn’t hesitate, chasing after Azure Dragon toward the retracting blood mist in streaks of flowing light.

The starfield was boundless, and the blood mist’s coverage was extraordinarily vast.

Initially, the blood mist retracted slowly, but it accelerated over ti.

Eventually, Li Ming could hardly keep up, requiring several Controlled Objects to forcibly enhance his speed to catch up.

For over half a month, the environnt in the starfield seed unchanged, with only remnants of planets seen along the way, and nothing else.

Li Ming’s tal energy consumption reached a staggering 30 billion.

However, the developnt progress surged to 53%, nearly improving every mont, providing an exhilarating feeling he found addictive.

Until a certain mont, the massive blood mist vortex suddenly stopped, Li Ming’s eyes flickered, focusing on the figure wrapped in hazy blood mist.

The aura was familiar, it was Tanwus.

Li Ming imdiately recognized him; he hadn’t launched a sneak attack since most of his Controlled Objects were still under developnt.

If Tanwus attacked now, he might deplete a lot of Li Ming’s tal energy, but only tal energy.

With the Eternal Holy Seat, as long as tal energy doesn’t dry up, no one can kill him.

“Li Ming…” Tanwus saw the familiar figure, his long-dormant mind stirring with waves, “The Abyss Lord’s promise still stands; it’s not too late to surrender now.”

“Your injuries are mostly healed.” Li Ming noticed this.

Silently, all his systems switched to the Main Battle System, and the blood mist swirling around faded instantly, following the retracting blood mist.

In just a mont, the retracting blood mist exposed the two in the Star Domain.

Li Ming calmly asked, “Confident in defeating this ti?”

“No.” Tanwus shook his head, holding his trembling Trident horizontally in front of him.

Even though his injuries were fully healed, reaching peak condition, based on their last encounter, he could gain so advantage but wasn’t confident in defeating the opponent.

But the Abyss Lord only tasked him with stalling; he was confident, knowing the Abyss Core contained powers beyond just evolving that entity to X Level.

Once that entity evolves successfully, the two together could easily defeat Li Ming.

“Stalling for ti?” Li Ming pondered, slightly frowning, eyes cold. If the opponent wanted to stall, he should rush even faster.

“You should feel honored…” As black, viscous substances seeped from Tanwus’ pores, forming crocodile skin-like rhombus patterns, then solidifying into heavy armor.

The aura of the Ultimate Life Form was openly unleashed; compared to last ti, Tanwus grew notably stronger, not just in recovery but also possessing more ans.

“The Abyss Lord has never taken an individual life this seriously before.”

The Kashmir’s Spear likewise condensed in Li Ming’s hand, his mouth slightly widening to a smile, “Then I should pay him the greatest respect.”

Without hesitation, he fiercely activated the Giant God’s Strike. Incredible, unimaginable power exploded on Kashmir’s Spear, as billions of golden arcs erupted across the vast starry sky.

Space shattered in an instant; before the spear tip, even particle-level units were penetrated, and space-ti appeared discontinuous.

To Tanwus, it seed as if the mont the spear thrust, it arrived before him, leaving him with no ti to react even given his current speed.

What shocked him was the power contained within the spear.

Tanwus’ previously calm expression drastically shifted to shock, mingled with fear and disbelief; his long-dormant emotions suddenly boiled–

“How…how could it improve so much!”

He felt firsthand that the opponent’s unleashed power compared to last ti increased not by double but several tis over.

The astonishing impact made him falter for a mont, while Kashmir’s Spear tore through layer after layer of shields.

He only managed to place his Trident before the spear tip.

At the mont of collision, magnificent force surged through the Trident, with pure primal energy bursting, covering his face.

Tanwus felt a violent shock run through his hands, nearly losing grip of the Trident.

Simultaneously, the spear tip bypassed the Trident, brutally piercing into his chest.

He had no strength to resist!
