Chapter 357: Ultimate Attack

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

It was a dark and windy night.

In the southwest border defense line, only a few insects and birds were chirping. The mutant creatures hiding in the forest fell silent, and one could only occasionally see their open eyes in the darkness.

Other than transporting various supplies day and night, most of the activities in the human defense line had also stopped.

The group of people who had been on standby during the day started to go on duty. The group who had been on duty during the day stayed in the temporary resting house behind the defense line.

Chen Yiming silently crossed the defense line and climbed to the top of a tree.

The spiritual figure floated beside him, its eyes cold as it looked straight at the distant Mount Everest.

Chen Yiming turned around and instructed, “The huge eye was severely injured by my attack. At that time, some cracks appeared at the edge of the pattern on it. Attack that spot directly.”

The spiritual figure said, “Understood.”

Chen Yiming nodded and said, “I really have to use my trump card this time. If we can’t kill the huge eye, we’ll be the ones to die. I’ll revive you as soon as possible.”

The spiritual figure said, “Understood.”

From the beginning to the end, the spiritual figure did not hesitate at all. It was unknown if it was because it was born with a split consciousness, but the two halves had inherited different properties.

Chen Yiming thought about it and realized that it was true.

The spiritual figure had inherited outstanding aspects like perception, tenacity, calmness, and so on, while he had retained his more ordinary side.

If not for the martial arts talent system, he could only stay at home and control the spiritual figure from afar to gather martial arts resources to cultivate. Furthermore, he would never be able to catch up to the speed at which the spiritual figure broke through.

Not long after, the spiritual figure turned into a stream of light and streaked across the night sky.

Chen Yiming turned around and saw a mutant striped snake on the treetop opposite him. Its triangular head was covered in a black aura, and it flicked its tongue continuously.

“It probably won’t be the first time that we have to try to wear down the huge eye or chase it back to the otherworld.” Chen Yiming’s expression didn’t look too good either.

During the day, he did not immediately summon the spiritual figure to deal with the huge eye. He had considered the fact that it was unlikely that he would succeed in one go. If the huge eye took revenge immediately despite its injuries, he would be in trouble.

“It’s time to create an alibi.” Chen Yiming turned to the distant Mount Everest and prepared to make some noise at the southwest defense line.

This way, what if the huge eye was furious? It could not find out where the spiritual figure had come from, and it still had to continue recuperating on Mount Everest.

After he revived the spiritual figure, he could let it go to fight the huge eye again.

He got moving.

“Giant transformation!”

With a low growl, a 1,000-meter-tall giant appeared in the forest.

The mutant snake was preparing to launch its finishing move when it saw the human in front of it turn into a giant. Its body stiffened and it fell to the ground.

At the same time, the mutant creatures within dozens of kilometers were alarmed. Their eyes opened in the darkness, and numerous figures began to flee in panic.

At the southwest border defense line, a high-powered searchlight lit up, illuminating the forest as if it was daytime. Those who had just laid down in bed got up in shock and went out to see what was going on.

Chen Yiming didn’t use any big moves and just walked through the forest.

During this time, the ground seemed to be continuously struck by heavy attacks. Wherever the giant passed, the mutant creatures that could not dodge in time were crushed by the giant.

The black aura that the mutant creatures were so proud of was useless against the giant.

The people at the southwest border watched enviously as the giants chased away the mutant creatures.

“Is this the path of evolution for a giant bloodline warrior?”

He could only be described as powerful.

Because of this, countless people’s expectations for the miracle blood rose to another level.

Some people touched their pockets and muttered in their hearts about how much money they could raise and how they should try to obtain the miracle blood as soon as possible.

Even the soldiers in the army felt the same way. It was said that there was a special team of giant bloodline warriors that were very powerful and mysterious. They had never appeared in public before.

…

Deep underground on Mount Everest, the huge eye that was deep in sleep opened, and a scene formed by spiritual power appeared in front of it. It was the scene of Chen Yiming transforming into a 1,000-meter-tall giant and wreaking havoc on the mutant creatures.

“You big fool, your bloodline talent is not bad. I can use you to deal with the blockade, while I…”

A spiritual fluctuation carrying a trace of laughter echoed underground.

After a while, the scene disappeared, and the huge eye closed again and fell back into a deep sleep. The spiritual fluctuations disappeared, and its barely discernible breathing echoed in the area.

In the darkness, specks of starlight from somewhere fused into the injured area of the huge eye. Its eyelid twitched from time to time.

…

Around Mount Everest, the spiritual figure floated around silently, and its spiritual power was engraved with countless mysterious symbols that had yet to be activated.

Perhaps the huge eye had already discovered that there was no threat to its existence on the blue planet, or perhaps it was recovering from the spiritual damage and was forced to let its spiritual power fall into a deep silence.

In short, the spiritual figure had successfully set up a large array with the mysterious symbols. The function of this large array was to use up one’s own body to unleash an extremely powerful attack.

Back on Mount Everest, the spiritual figure brazenly released its spiritual power and scanned the area to find its target. It took less than a second to accurately locate the huge eye.

“Who is it!”

An angry spiritual fluctuation soared into the sky.

The huge eye deep underground opened and quickly floated up. Countless tentacles danced behind it.

It had not felt this way for a long time. The last time was when the world it was born in was invaded by the black tide creatures.

Just as the huge eye was expressing its anger, the mysterious symbols around Mount Everest were activated, and threads of light shot out to connect with the spiritual figure.

Then, the spiritual figure began to burn up on its own, and a natural phenomenon appeared above its head.

A cyclone with a radius of 100 kilometers slowly formed. Endless natural power resonated with the spiritual figure, turning into streams of Sword Aura that was summoned to the sky above Mount Everest.

Usually, it would take a long time to accumulate power to launch an ultimate attack like this. Now, because the spiritual figure had used a special trick, the time needed to accumulate such power was greatly reduced.

A sword that emitted terrifying fluctuations gradually extended from the center of the cyclone. The spiritual figure soared into the sky and fused into it.

Instantly, a cold light appeared that shone brightly in the sky. Even from thousands of kilometers away, the light in the sky could be seen with the naked eye.

“What’s that?”

Some people standing at a high point had just turned their gazes from the giant to the cold light in the sky, which seemed like a small sun rising in the sky.

Immediately after, there was a loud bang that was even more oppressive than a nuclear explosion.

Before they could react, the ground under their feet shook like an earthquake. There were more than 1,000 kilometers between them, so this was only the aftershock.

Chen Yiming’s 1,000-meter-tall giant form also stopped in his tracks.

An image was reflected in his spiritual world. The spiritual figure’s ultimate attack had shattered half of the ripple-like pattern on the huge eye.

…

Late at night, in a small river deep in the forest, Chen Yiming sat cross-legged on a large rock by the river, not moving at all.

In his spiritual world, his human-shaped consciousness was also sitting cross-legged. The only difference was that a shadow had appeared behind his consciousness.

With the enhancement from the Undying Body talent, he was recreating the missing half from the intact half of his human consciousness through an indescribable connection.

“It will recover by about 1% every hour. It will take a little more than four days for the spiritual figure to be completely reborn.”

After a long time, Chen Yiming opened his eyes. He felt a sense of fatigue weighing heavily on his body that neither the Undying Body talent nor the Giant Talent could get rid of.

He was certain that this fatigue would only disappear when the spiritual figure was reborn.

“The body and spirit are secretly connected. It seems that even if the figure in my mind can leave my body in the form of a sword spirit, it will still have an inseparable connection with my real body.”

This time, Chen Yiming had a deeper understanding of the body and spirit. The body was not only a place for one’s spirit to be nurtured, but also involved a deeper secret.

This secret was not something he could analyze yet, but it did not stop him from taking it seriously. He could not be fooled by others one day and make the decision to abandon his body.

For example, in legends, some ghost immortals, vengeful spirits, and so on, including the spirits in the otherworld, did not rely on their bodies to survive. However, it was unknown if there were any restrictions.

“There’s a condition for the revival of the spiritual figure. Once I use my spiritual power, it will cause the spiritual figure to collapse. Even if the progress was at 99%, it will still be reset and I have to start over from zero.”

Chen Yiming’s intuition gave him a piece of headache-inducing information.

This was information that his body intuitively knew. It was impossible for it to be a trick. This also meant that his movements would be restricted in the next five days.

If he could not use his spiritual power, it meant that he could not indirectly mobilize the power of nature directly or through the mysterious symbols. He could not even use the most basic spiritual power to investigate the situation.

He could only use his physical abilities. For example, if he relied on his powerful physique to fight in close combat, his attacks would be greatly limited.

After figuring out what was involved in the revival of the spiritual figure, Chen Yiming stood up and cursed in the direction of Mount Everest. “Just you wait. Don’t run if you have the guts.”

He had wanted to secretly monitor the movements of the huge eye during the interval when the spiritual figure was being revived, but since he could not use his spiritual power, it was very difficult to do so.

He could only hope that the huge eye would continue to stay on Mount Everest and give it a hard time a few days later.

…

At dawn, Chen Yiming passed through the forest and rushed towards the defense line at the southwest border.

“Eh? There seem to be more mutant creatures. Are they going to launch an all-out attack on the human defense line?”

Along the way, he observed this scene.

“Could it be that the huge eye is afraid that I will take the opportunity to come looking for it, so it used this method to stall me?”

From the reaction of the mutant creatures, Chen Yiming deduced the damage that the spiritual figure had caused to the huge eye by destroying half of the ripple pattern was probably more serious than he had expected.

Thinking of this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

This time, both sides could be said to have suffered heavy losses. The difference was that the other party would definitely not recover as quickly as him.

However, even so, his physical condition was not good. His fatigue could not be eliminated, and he was only left with his strong physique.

What could he do even if he went knocking on its door in this state? He could only give up on the chance to attack it.
