Chapter 963: Chapter 963
But now it’s different!
At this moment, it was Jia Yan’s time to mutate. He had not only devoured such a colossal amount of Chaos Stones but also possessed their essence within him. The total amount of energy was absolutely terrifying. He did not yet realize that the very energy he housed was the "Pai Lan" used by the ten mighty Strong Ones for their promotion in rank. Otherwise, how could ordinary mining grounds spontaneously yield substances so much more powerful than others?
Of course, nothing could hide the fact that, right now, Jia Yan had devoured the item essential for the other’s promotion. Therefore, the opponent’s fury was not misplaced.
"Although the more I look at you, the more you resemble that dreadful existence, at this moment, you are just at the Early Stars stage. Killing you will eliminate future trouble!" The opponent gazed at Jia Yan’s body, showing a hint of ferocity. Before, he had some doubts whether this person was the ’existence’ he imagined, but after seeing Jia Yan’s Bluish Defense, he discarded that thought entirely.
This Early Star Level being was definitively the ’that thing’ he presumed! However, his strength was too weak now. If he killed the opponent now, he would avert any future threat.
Not killing Jia Yan, his inner rage was unquenchable, yet to kill him meant he had to ensure his death. That was his current line of thought.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the depths of the earth, a succession of thunderous roars resounded — sounds that were supposed to be impossible in the dense subterranean materials, yet they were happening!
The energy of the underground impacts was terrifying indeed!
Jia Yan let out a series of wretched screams. He felt as if his body was a mix of severe anguish at this moment — the pain from the enemy’s bombardment, the agony of mutation, and the torture brought by the dreadful Mysterious Liquid. He thought he was too busy scream for the various types of suffering.
In the worst possible timing, the existence hidden in space launched another attack!
A glint flashed in Jia Yan’s Compound Eyes as he forced his body to move.
Unexpected even to himself, such an attempt to move made him realize his body could actually travel hundreds of meters in an instant! In the dense space of the Chaos Stone, he managed to move swiftly.
The Pai Lan clearly did not anticipate Jia Yan’s speed to be so fast, his claw catching a large expanse of Chaos Stones instead.
Innumerable Chaos Stones erupted, their sounds flooding the underground. Their terrible Radiation Energy seemed like predators choosing their prey, exploding outwards with the intent to obliterate anything in their path!
Unfortunately, such horrifying Radiation Energy seemed to cause little damage to the two existences before it.
Jia Yan was like a pig not afraid of boiling water, and the Pai Lan seemed truly immune to this level of radiation, showing not the slightest sign of harm.
"Kid, I can’t believe you could still escape!" The surprise in Pai Lan’s eyes was apparent, his body suddenly illuminating with wisps of yellow light as he realized Jia Yan could still move so swiftly underground.
"A prestigious member of the Strong Ones and yet you reveal your True Energy to me? How despicable!" When Jia Yan saw the surface of his opponent’s body, he felt his scalp tingle. The Mysterious powerhouse had combat power already unbelievably terrifying, and with True Energy, his power doubled!
"To fight a Sacred Powerhouse without using True Energy would be a grave disrespect. Young Sacred Powerhouse, die!" Pai Lan bellowed, launching a punch directly at him.
"Sacred Powerhouse? What is a Sacred Powerhouse?" Jia Yan was briefly bemused, but in the next moment, he abruptly moved sideward. Despite being distracted by the opponent’s words, he hadn’t forgotten that his opponent’s attack was far more powerful than he could imagine.
He shifted sideways, but even with the energy from the mutation, he was still vastly outmatched by the True Energy-boosted Pai Lan. Jia Yan’s body wasn’t fully spared; a ferocious blow to his right flank hit home.
Jia Yan let out a faint groan of pain. The force of the strike was beyond his imagination; his Bluish Defense barely held for a moment before shattering. "Crack," a small wound opened on his body!
"Good! A Sacred Powerhouse is truly dreadful, my full attack only caused such minor damage to you. And you are only in the Early Stage of Star Space, much more terrifying than the rumors suggest. But since you’ve sustained an injury, it means I can kill you! Die right here!"
Seeing Jia Yan’s injury, Pai Lan’s face lit up with surprise and delight. It seemed he valued Jia Yan far more than Jia Yan himself had realized.
As the opponent continued to attack, a surge of vicious emotion exploded in Jia Yan’s head. He didn’t want to fight this existence, but if he couldn’t quickly find a calm place to wait for his mutation to complete, death would be his only outcome!
Jia Yan was prepared to fight for his life!
He extended a forelimb, never before feeling such speed within himself.
