Chapter 1345: Chapter 1345: The Strange Monocle Rubber Clan

“Please!” Lan Xuanyu’s voice carried a cold, commanding tone, as fierce waves of energy accompanied her words.

The uncanny Monocle Rubber Clan individual chuckled, “My name is Zhu Cheng, hahaha.”

As he spoke, his slender leg suddenly stomped down, his body crouching low. In the next moment, Lan Xuanyu was surprised to notice that his leg developed an edge, its slenderness rapidly morphing into stubby thickness, lowering his entire stature in an instant. Then, the now-thickened leg abruptly rebounded, reverting to its slender form, unleashing a powerful driving force that propelled Zhu Cheng’s body toward Lan Xuanyu in the blink of an eye.

His long arms opened wide, lunging to embrace Lan Xuanyu directly.

Lan Xuanyu’s brow furrowed slightly, her palm striking out at lightning speed. The speed of her movement was astonishing—as Zhu Cheng charged forward, her hand was already pressed upon him.

A soft “poof” echoed as the Annihilation Divine Thunder in her palm exploded. Yet what left Lan Xuanyu astonished was the fact that the thunder that erupted into Zhu Cheng’s body vanished as if absorbed into a void, eliciting no reaction whatsoever. Even more terrifying, Zhu Cheng’s arms continued to close in without pause, ready to envelop her.

Element Immunity? The term instantly flashed through Lan Xuanyu’s mind. Moreover, she realized that as her palm struck Zhu Cheng, an unusual oscillating force emanated from his incredibly flexible body, dispersing most of the impact force.

Elemental nullification and dispelled attack power. Was this guy’s resilience truly this formidable?

Even as these thoughts crossed her mind, Lan Xuanyu instantly appeared behind Zhu Cheng through teleportation.

Zhu Cheng’s arms closed on empty air. However, it seemed he sensed an attack from behind him—oddly, without turning, his massive head underwent a sudden grotesque transformation. That one-meter-wide head immediately sprouted countless spikes at its rear, spreading out like a blooming thorny flower.

Lan Xuanyu’s fist had almost connected with Zhu Cheng’s head when the sudden emergence of the spikes caught her off guard, leaving no chance to react.

Even more bizarrely, as her fist approached the sharp spikes, the spikes softened abruptly, transforming into a silky entity that wrapped around her arm. Meanwhile, the other spikes remained razor-sharp, heading straight toward her body.

Such a peculiar transformation—it was the first time Lan Xuanyu had encountered anything like this. What was her next move?

Without hesitation, she instantly responded. She knew being ensnared by her opponent was not an option, so the silver glow flashed again—another teleportation sequence shifted her to the side. Then, with a synchronized motion, she swung both hands outwards, two brilliant silver streaks slashing toward him.

This mimicked Liu Feng’s Dimensional Cut, channeling space power.

Monocle Rubber Clan—the adaptability implied in the “rubber” name now fully manifested before Lan Xuanyu. Attacking a body as tenacious and versatile as Zhu Cheng’s would clearly demand cutting-edge precision and sharpness. Additionally, his immunity to the electrical force of Annihilation Divine Thunder likely stemmed from rubber’s insulating properties.

Still, Lan Xuanyu strongly believed he couldn’t possibly be immune to all elements. Testing with sharpness was the next logical step.

But again, Zhu Cheng defied expectations. As the two silver streaks launched, he abruptly turned his massive head, causing his colossal eye to contract inward. The concentric circles around his pupil rapidly pulled close, and suddenly, the silver light blades Lan Xuanyu had sent sluggishly slowed.

Time delay—time attribute manipulation?

Damn, this Monocle Rubber Clan truly proved extraordinary! Not only did Zhu Cheng slow down Lan Xuanyu’s attack, but even her movements and thoughts momentarily felt sluggish.

Zhu Cheng’s body sprang forth again, quickly closing in on Lan Xuanyu, entirely enveloping her.

Yet in that fleeting instant, Zhu Cheng’s body trembled inexplicably. A horrifying sense of crisis overtook him, beyond anything he had known.

His monocle eye was his most formidable asset. This race, apart from their unique bodies, were renowned for their unparalleled spiritual power!

Though his cultivation hadn’t reached the God Rank, his spiritual power was already pushing the limits of divine capabilities, providing him an acute sensitivity to danger. The moment he felt something amiss, he immediately sought retreat, his long legs springing backward to use the floor as a launch pad to propel him away.

But just as his legs lifted, they froze mid-air.

Helpless, he could only watch as a peculiar sphere of light emerged from Lan Xuanyu’s hand.

Seeing this light sphere, his immediate reaction was bewilderment. His entire consciousness fell into an inexplicable daze. He couldn’t comprehend the nature of the sphere—its appearance, its shape, even its color remained elusive.

In this moment, many spectators focused on the battle. Even for experts from the Sky Horse Clan witnessing this fight, it was their first encounter with a Monocle Rubber Clan member.

Zhu Cheng’s tribe was one of the Dragon Horse Galaxy’s rarest races, scarcely populous, residing on a peculiar, tiny asteroid. They weren’t even in the Dragon Horse Galaxy’s top ten races or combat-capable enough to possess warships. Their lifestyle remained extremely primitive. Yet their intelligence was exceedingly advanced, prompting the Sky Dragon Clan and Sky Horse Clan to expend considerable effort to subjugate them, recruiting them under the Dragon Horse Galaxy’s dominion.

Still, their numbers were so insufficient that their appearances within the Dragon Horse Galaxy were sparse and undocumented. When they did surface, it was typically on Sky Horse Star.

Observing Zhu Cheng, a young prodigy of the Monocle Rubber Clan, display such a terrifying prowess, seemingly neutralizing even the Golden Dragon Princess’s offense, left the spectators stunned. They eagerly awaited how the Golden Dragon Princess would counteract this opponent.

Then, at that pivotal instant, as time suddenly froze, the expressions of many audience members shifted. Did both the Golden Dragon Princess and Zhu Cheng share mastery over time?

Compared to time deceleration, time freeze stood markedly superior, able to halt time within a localized area entirely—akin to a Frozen Spell. As Lan Xuanyu released the light sphere, even figures seated at the main podium shifted their attention in unison.

Acting upon Zhu Cheng’s perceived threat, those Super God-level powerhouses too sensed something extraordinary within the energy held by the sphere.

The light sphere floated forth, leaving Zhu Cheng without escape. However, showcasing the grit emblematic of his tribe’s brightest talents, his body sprang into an involuntary, reactive tremble. Just as time freeze locked him and as the light sphere collided with him, his body rapidly contracted inward, transforming into a massive rubber ball that encased his monocle eye deep within its core.

“Bang!” A muffled explosion rattled the arena, its intensity deceptive. Yet immediately after, the roar of light, black and white swirling together into an overwhelming radiance, consumed the entirety of Arena One.

A towering light beam descended from the heavens, encasing the arena to replace the shattered protection cover while shielding against the chaotic energy unleashed within. Even the monumental light beam wavered under the volatile onslaught.
