Chapter 576: Chapter 267: The Mother Empress’s Might, Dark Destiny, The Purge

Shen Jie didn’t know if this was due to the influence of the Tier Four Spine King’s Realm Inheritance within the Land of the End, or if it was the fate encoded in the bloodline of the Spine Zerg Race.

During his awakening from the Tier Jump Promotion, after purging the chaotic and crazed emotions released by the Spine King, there was one memory that stuck with him, aside from the human voice that had pulled him back to reality...

The last thing he remembered of the Spine King was an image of it consumed by pain, numbness, and a desperate yearning for release.

It was begging Shen Jie to free it from its suffering.

This terrifying truth haunted Shen Jie, weighing on his chest like a massive stone and leaving him breathless.

’I would have much preferred it if the Spine King had been pleading for me to rescue its trapped spirit,’ he thought.

’Instead, it gave me that sorrowful look, begging me to end its suffering by killing it.’

’The first would have meant the Spine King still had the will to live...’

’The courage to fight back!’

’And the chance to break its chains and regain its freedom!’

’But if the truth was the latter...’

Then all that lay before Shen Jie was a bottomless, dark Abyss, waiting for him to walk the same fated path as the Spine King.

For this very reason, after waking up, he buried the matter deep in his heart and didn’t reveal it to the Mother Empress Avatar, Ling Yi.

She was willing to cooperate with Lin Feng as an equal,

but she would never tolerate a "Slave" under her command attempting to rebel against their masters.

Now, seeing the Low-tier Zerg Swarm and Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs thrown into disarray by the Mother Empress and forced to slaughter each other, Shen Jie would rather they die with dignity by his own blade than "live" on as worthless puppets.

With Jiang Yun’er leading the charge, Lin Feng’s party of fifty-two swiftly broke through the multiple defensive lines of the Tier Two Swarm.

Although several waves of Tier Two Middle-Late Stage Samurai Hunter Zergs with higher Spiritual Attribute Values managed to break through the Mother Empress’s King Zerg Control blockade to launch surprise attacks,

they were all slain by Lin Feng and Shen Jie before they could even reach her.

They drove straight toward the Underground Nest, their momentum Unstoppable.

Soon, after pushing forward several kilometers, the group arrived at the location of the Multi-Emperors—the very place Shen Jie and the others had barely managed to reach before, even after giving it their all:

a Mother Empress’s Nest, three hundred meters underground.

The Peak Tiger Spine Zergs now appearing before them had a Spiritual Control strength exceeding one thousand in Attribute Value. It was nearly impossible for the Mother Empress to wrest control of them from the other Mother Empresses.

Lin Feng walked up and patted the Mother Empress on the shoulder.

He signaled for her to pull back her King Zerg Control power and instead focus her Spiritual Power on the more defensive Mass-Energy Shield.

After all, the enemy Mother Empresses were now only a kilometer or two away. The Genetic Warriors, who had mastered the Spine Zerg Realm, might be fine, but the Human Awakeners in the Guard Battle Group desperately needed the protection of a Spiritual Shield to avoid being harmed by the Mother Empresses’ Spiritual Attacks.

As for defeating the Peak Tiger Spine Zergs, that task was naturally left to the Genetic Warriors.

They had just completed the Realm Trial and entered the Tier Two Peak stage. They were only a single step away from a Tier Jump Promotion...

At this moment, their desire to slay a High-tier Zerg became incredibly urgent.

Previously, their forces had been scattered, and fewer than a dozen had managed to follow Shen Jie this far. But now, twenty Genetic Warriors at peak condition could certainly handle the dozen-or-so Peak Tiger Spine Zergs before them.

They had killed even a Tier Three King Spine Zerg in the Trial World; they certainly weren’t afraid of mere Tiger Spine Zergs.

As the Genetic Warriors charged, drawing away the last guards blocking the entrance to the Nest...

Lin Feng, piloting the Prototype Machine, raised its Ion Laser Cannon. He led the thirty members of the Guard Battle Group as they aimed their Ion Cannons at the massive Nest visible within the entrance...

They began clearing the grunts!

In preparation to challenge the Multi-Emperor Alliance,

They would eliminate the final obstacle!
