Otherworldly Desert Dust - Chapter 591 - 546: The Life of a Subterranean Rock Octopus
Wu Hen nodded, as long as they could trace it back, they would surely discover the traces of those outsiders.
Currently, the information they had on the outsiders was too limited. Faced with these enemies lurking in the shadows, who were thoroughly familiar with their group, they would be at a significant disadvantage without acquiring more valuable information.
“This Fire God Body of mine should hold up for a while,” Wu Hen said.
“Darn it, it seems like this area has been shielded by a mysterious magnetic field, and information can’t be transmitted back,” Rat instantly noticed this strange phenomenon.
“That’s no problem, once I solve the issues here, I’ll personally escort you back,” Wu Hen said.
“This Outer Heaven substance is still fermenting wildly, and its impact is continuously expanding. If it attracts some otherworldly Gods, it would affect our plans. The Black Navigators clearly hope to use others to do their dirty work rather than getting involved themselves, to avoid leaving any unerasable traces… So acting recklessly won’t work. We must analyze this substance and find a countermeasure, or else this vortex will grow larger, which would be very disadvantageous for you,” Rat said.
The Outer Heaven substance keeps fermenting over time, affecting more and more life forms, whose strength continues to grow.
The food chain of Otherworldly Dust is unknown, and heaven knows what terrifying beings it might attract. If this Outer Heaven substance continues stirring a dark tide of slaughter, it might just attract those high star-level beings from above the Sky Dome. At that time, even if Wu Hen demonstrates his high-dimensional powers, he might still be hunted by advanced star-level beings.
“It’s not realistic for you to run back now. The Black Navigators have discovered you, and it’s hard for you to escape. However, if you just want to transmit the collected data back, I have a way. It’s to wait until this Soul Nesting Wood matures, and after it blooms the soul flower, hand over the data to Wang Rui, who will temporarily return through the Soul Nesting Wood to the inside of the Divine Realm and give the data to Li Feng for analysis of this Outer Heaven substance,” Wu Hen proposed a rather mature plan.
Upon hearing this, Rat exclaimed in delight.
This is a good plan, allowing for direct remote transmission.
The Black Navigators have blocked this area, preventing signals from getting out, but the Law of the Soul Nesting Wood is unaffected by this shielding magnetic field.
“Alright, the Soul Nesting Wood should bloom soon. Hold out a bit longer, I’ve already collected 43% of the data. It should all be collected before the Soul Nesting Wood matures. We just don’t know what might crawl out next, so be careful,” Rat said.
“I’m not afraid. I’ve advanced my sense of touch to the Second Rank, and my Spirit Vein Perception has reached the Spirit Dominator Realm. The combat power of this body is now comparable to that of a Super Tenth Rank Life. Unless those glittering Star Gods appear, small fry won’t be my match,” Wu Hen said confidently.
This time, I’ve truly struck gold. Not to mention the Innate Fire Sacred Body, even during the process of enhancing the smaller avatar’s power, my overall strength and perception have increased. No matter what means the opponent employs or how powerful they are, my escalated strength has reached a height, making it impossible for them to shake me.
“Boom!!!”
Suddenly, the ground swelled like a drum!
Wu Hen immediately realized that another powerful life form from beneath the ground had emerged. He quickly used his sense of touch to feel the substances beneath the earth.
At this moment, Wu Hen’s sense of touch could clearly feel the granite dust being vaporized up to the surface from below. In fact, the granite layer several hundred kilometers deep beneath our feet was tearing apart, and a life form with infinite brute force was breaking through the crust, rushing to the surface!
Soon, a tentacled rock body life form, eighty meters long, burst out from the uplifted area of the ground. Its Illuminating Green Rock Scale Armor clashed with each other, and the fluid seeping through the gaps turned an area of several kilometers into a boiling corrosive pool.
“What’s this, has a fossil creature in a museum undergone ultimate evolution?” Wang Rui exclaimed, rapidly retreating with his Vine Beauties.
These crustal creatures spew corrosive liquid, which is deadly to his Vine Beauties. Moreover, these acidic liquids also corrode his Mechanical Dog, and even super-refined materials can’t resist their corrosive body fluids.
Wu Hen’s entire body ignited with a blazing Fire Domain, blocking the corrosive liquid released by the Rock Octopus life form.
His expression was solemn; what concerned him was not the ancient body, rock scales, or corrosive body fluids of this subterranean life form, but the thing on its head!
This Rock Octopus’s head operated an Erosion Core, and the energy released by this Erosion Core was very similar to the Nuclear Reactor Corpse King Wu Hen had encountered in the Corpse Tide.
The dark red Erosion Core’s surface had thousands of honeycomb holes. As the Erosion Core started to operate and Wu Hen’s body trembled instinctively with cold shudders, innumerable crimson rays burst from the honeycomb holes of the Erosion Core on the Rock Octopus’s head!!
The crimson rays from the Erosion Core swept across the sky, and wherever they passed, the air ionized into purple-black fissures, while distant jungles, mountains, and canyons were silently annihilated into nothingness.
If this terrifying Erosion Core energy were to sweep entirely in his direction, it could also obliterate him, but this Erosion Core Rock Octopus seemed to want to show off its military prowess to all the lowly apes on the surface and to declare its revival as the former ruler of the surface to all life forms on land!
The previous Bronze Bitter Face life form gave Wu Hen a sensation of strange malevolence and resentment, whereas this Erosion Core Rock Octopus exuded an air of arrogant, destructive fury, as though the world beneath was vast beyond the reach of surface life. With its innate superiority, it only needed to casually unleash a Divine Skill to decimate the entire surface world, returning it to the single-cell era.
“Wu Hen… This thing seems even stronger!” Wang Rui had already retreated far back.
Originally, he had thought about taking over Wu Hen’s guarding post, hoping to gain some insights through battle.
But the ancient, perverse life form from below the ground needed Wu Hen to deal with after all. His recently evolved Vine Beauties probably couldn’t even withstand the opponent’s acidic body fluids, let alone the emitted crimson rays!
“Hmph, ultimately it’s something buried underground, playing tricks. Just in time for the Soul Nesting Wood to need a little more, I’ll use you as energy fertilizer!” Wu Hen frowned at the arrogance of this subterranean life form.
Yet Wu Hen also couldn’t help but be curious, pondering what exactly this Outer Heaven substance was, and why it felt like it was awakening a civilization at the earth’s core. The life forms crawling up from beneath the ground couldn’t be said to be native to Otherworldly Dust. Instead, they seemed like ancient Earth rulers that ultimately failed to dominate the world due to various catastrophes, viewing humans with disdain as if their home had been stolen by rats!
