303: Chapter 303 I only need half

The SSS-rank Mutated Beast suppressed within the ice layer let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"Roar——!!!"

The sound was like the roar of an ancient dragon, making the entire ice field tremble.

The ice layer within a radius of dozens of kilometers cracked one after another, and countless fissures spread in all directions like a spider web.

Its tentacles struggled frantically, each twitch bringing up a sky full of ice chips and snow mist.

Under the immense power, the ice layer kept collapsing, emitting a harsh shattering sound, as if glass were being crushed.

As the overlord of the deep polar regions, a king that had ruled this ice field for hundreds of years, it had never suffered such humiliation.

Suppressed by a tiny human?

This was simply a great humiliation!

"Roar——!!!"

The Mutated Beast was completely enraged.

Hundreds of thick tentacles suddenly whipped out from the ice layer.

Each one was dozens of meters long, as thick as a water bucket, and covered with hard ice-crystal scales that shimmered with a chilling light under the sun.

Those scales were as sharp as knives, their edges gleaming with a deep blue cold light, as if they could freeze everything.

The moment the tentacles were pulled out.

Hundreds of ice pillars exploded on the ice field, and broken ice splattered in all directions like cannonballs.

The next second, all the tentacles thrust simultaneously toward Lin Yuan in the sky!

"Boom boom boom——"

The sound of breaking the air was like thunder; the air was torn apart, emitting a harsh screech.

Thousands of tentacles were like long spears, tearing through the air and emitting a harsh whistling sound.

Each tentacle carried destructive power, enough to easily destroy a building.

The dense mass of tentacles blotted out the sky, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, aiming to tear Lin Yuan into pieces.

"Watch out!"

"Mr. Lin! Get away quickly!"

"God! So many tentacles!"

The survivors below shouted in terror, their voices full of despair.

They had seen the power of these tentacles.

A single tentacle could easily destroy a building, and now, with hundreds of tentacles attacking at the same time, the power was simply unimaginable!

Inside the command center, Zhang Zhen stared fixedly at the screen, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his palms covered in cold sweat.

His heart was pounding wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

"Mr. Lin... you must win..." he prayed in his heart.

However, facing this attack capable of destroying everything, Lin Yuan's expression remained as calm as water.

He didn't even move.

Just as the tentacles were about to pierce him—

Lin Yuan, with himself as the center, instantly expanded a transparent spherical domain, covering a radius of one thousand meters.

The moment the domain expanded, the entire space underwent a subtle change.

At the edge of the domain, the space rippled like water, creating layers of waves.

Within those ripples, distorted light and shadows were vaguely visible, as if connecting to another dimension.

Within this domain, Lin Yuan was the absolute master; all the rules of space were set by him.

"Shhh——"

All the tentacles that rushed into the domain were frozen in mid-air the moment they entered.

It was as if time had been paused.

Hundreds of tentacles maintained their thrusting posture, suspended in the air, motionless.

The Mutated Beast tried its best to pull back its tentacles.

But those tentacles seemed to be firmly locked by an invisible force, not moving an inch.

Lin Yuan raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread.

In the void, countless black particles began to converge, condensing in his palm into a pitch-black Space Blade.

This was a weapon condensed from pure Spatial Power.

The blade was as black as ink, as if it could swallow all light.

The edge of the blade, however, gleamed with a chilling silver light—a phenomenon produced after space was compressed to the extreme.

Just looking at that blade made one feel as if their soul was about to be sliced open.

The Ability Users in the distance only took one look before feeling a stinging pain in their eyes, and they quickly looked away.

The next moment, Lin Yuan moved.

His figure was like a ghost, weaving through the dense mass of tentacles.

Each blink was accompanied by a flash of black blade light.

With every stroke of the blade that fell, a huge tentacle was severed at the root.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and not a drop of blood flowed out, because the wound was sealed by Spatial Power the moment it was cut.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Blade light fell like rain, and the tentacles were harvested like wheat stalks.

Lin Yuan's movements were fast to the extreme, having surpassed the limits of human vision.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they could only see streaks of black afterimages flickering in the air.

Weaving through the tentacles like a ghost.

And those tentacles that had once made countless Ability Users despair, hard as steel, were as fragile as paper before him.

Every strike was absolutely precise, absolutely lethal.

There were no superfluous movements, not the slightest bit of waste.

This was the realm of honing combat skills to the extreme, the true art of killing.

"This... what kind of speed is this?!"

"My god... how did he do that?"

"Too strong! Is this his strength?!"

The survivors watched, dumbfounded, shocked into speechlessness.

Inside the command center, Zhang Zhen and all personnel from The Authorities stood frozen on the spot.

Their eyes were fixed on the screen, and they had even forgotten to breathe.

They had seen strong individuals, had seen S-rank and SS-rank Ability Users in action.

The battles of those strong individuals were often earth-shattering, requiring the use of various powerful skills and consuming vast amounts of energy.

But Lin Yuan was different.

His combat style was simple, direct, and efficient.

No flashy skill effects, no earth-shattering explosions, only pure speed and power.

But it was this simplicity that made people feel even more terrified.

That wasn't a battle; that was a slaughter, a crushing, an absolute disparity in power!

This was a dimensionality-reduction strike, the hunt of a higher life form against a lower life form!

"Roar——!!!"

The Mutated Beast let out a painful hiss, and more tentacles surged from its massive body.

One hundred, two hundred, five hundred...

The number of tentacles increased, almost blotting out the entire sky.

It waved its tentacles frantically, attempting to overwhelm Lin Yuan with sheer numbers.

But it was useless.

In the face of absolute power, quantity was meaningless.

Lin Yuan's figure wove through the ocean of tentacles, and every strike precisely severed a tentacle.

His movements were elegant and lethal, as if dancing a dance of death.

As his figure flickered, the black blade light streaked across the sky like meteors, each stroke representing the end of a tentacle.

In less than a minute, half of the thousands of tentacles had been severed.

The severed tentacles fell from the sky like raindrops, crashing onto the ice field with dull thuds.

Each segment of the tentacle was several meters long, piling up together like a small hill.

The ice field was piled high with the severed limbs of the Mutated Beast, like small hills.

"Husband... this is just too handsome..."

In the distance, Ji Wushuang swallowed hard.

Her eyes were almost sparkling with stars, her face full of admiration.

"Too handsome... simply cool to the extreme..." she muttered to herself.

The women beside her, Chu Yanran, Ye Qingxue, Ye Qingyue, and others.

Also watched intently, their eyes full of shock and adoration.

Chu Yanran said softly: "Is this the true strength of Brother Lin Yuan? I feel... he hasn't even gone all out."

Ye Qingxue nodded: "Mm, Lin Yuan's aura is very steady; even his breathing hasn't been disrupted. A battle of this level is just a warm-up for him."

Although they had long known that Lin Yuan was very strong, every time they saw him strike, they were still shocked.

This shock would never disappear.

This was the man they followed.

This was their king.

In the sky, Lin Yuan stopped his movements.

He looked at the Mutated Beast below, which had lost most of its tentacles, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the Space Blade in his palm began to change.

The pitch-black blade gradually dissipated, turning into countless tiny spatial threads.

These threads were thinner than a strand of hair.

They were almost invisible to the naked eye; one could only vaguely see silver specks of light flashing in the air.

But every single thread contained terrifying cutting power, enough to slice through all matter in the world.

Void Great Cutting Technique!!

This was the ultimate mystery of Lin Yuan's Space Ability, and also one of his strongest killing moves.

Once, he used this move to instantly dismember a giant SS-rank Zombie King.

And now, facing the SSS-rank polar Mutated Beast, he used this move again.

"Go."

Lin Yuan waved his hand gently.

Countless spatial threads, like a net cast from heaven, instantly enveloped the entire body of the Mutated Beast.

The threads wove into a huge cube, completely trapping the Mutated Beast inside.

The Mutated Beast felt the threat of death—it was a fear from the depths of its soul.

It let out a terrified hiss, desperately trying to escape, its remaining tentacles waving frantically, attempting to tear open this net of death.

But it was too late.

Those threads were like maggots on a bone, tightly wound around it, and no matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

"Shhh shhh shhh——"

The spatial threads penetrated the body of the Mutated Beast, slicing its massive body into countless neat cubes.

The whole process took less than a second.

Before the Mutated Beast's hiss could even be emitted, its body had already disintegrated.

The massive body instantly turned into countless neat chunks of meat, each one a perfect cube, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.

A true case of "butchering an ox with ease."

The SSS-rank polar Mutated Beast was instantly dismembered just like that.

"Boom——"

Countless chunks of meat fell from the sky, crashing onto the ice field with dull thuds.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a transparent spatial barrier unfolded in the air, blocking all the blood outside the barrier.

Only clean chunks of meat fell; not a single drop of blood splashed onto the ground.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, their brains blank, completely unable to understand everything that had happened before them.

That monster that had made them despair.

That SSS-rank Mutated Beast that had destroyed the entire defensive line and slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers, just like that... died?

And it was killed instantly?

From the moment Lin Yuan struck until the death of the Mutated Beast, the entire process took less than three minutes.

Three minutes!

An SSS-rank Mutated Beast, just solved so casually.

What kind of concept was this?

This simply surpassed everyone's cognition!

"This... is this real?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"God... this is a god!"

The survivors knelt in droves, some with tears streaming down their faces, others trembling with excitement.

Inside the command center, Zhang Zhen slumped in his chair, his lips trembling, unable to speak.

He finally understood.

Lin Yuan's strength had already surpassed his imagination.

That was not a realm that a human could reach.

That was the realm of a god.

In the sky, Lin Yuan extracted a deep blue core from the minced meat of the Mutated Beast.

That was the Polar Heart, the energy core of the SSS-rank Mutated Beast, containing terrifying energy.

Lin Yuan put the core into his space, then slowly descended to the ground.

His gaze swept over the mountain-like piles of Mutated Beast meat around him, and he said indifferently:

"Keep half of this meat; I will take the rest."

"It will be enough for you to eat for a long time."

Zhang Zhen rushed over, excitedly incoherent:

"Mr. Lin! You... you are too strong! You are our savior! Take all this meat! All of it!"

"We don't want it! Really, we don't!"

Lin Yuan shook his head:

"Take it. This meat contains energy and is beneficial to ordinary people and low-level Ability Users."

"I only need half."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and half of the meat chunks instantly disappeared, having been stored into his space.

In the distance, the beast tide, having lost its leader, had completely collapsed and was fleeing in all directions.

Without the suppression of the SSS-rank Mutated Beast, those low-level Mutated Beasts dared not come near at all.

In this battle, Lin Yuan, with his own strength, saved a million people.

And he didn't even have a speck of dust on his clothes.

Ji Wushuang ran over, her eyes shining:

"Husband! You were so handsome just now! That thing... Void Cutting? It was simply cool to the extreme!"

Lin Yuan looked at her indifferently:

"Stop with the glib talk; I'll increase your training volume when we get back."

"Ah?!"

Ji Wushuang immediately pulled a bitter face.

The other sisters also gathered around, their eyes full of admiration and adoration as they looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan ignored them and looked at Zhang Zhen:

"The matter of the beast tide is resolved; I should be going."

"You can contact me if you need anything."

Zhang Zhen nodded hurriedly:

"Yes! Yes! Take care, Mr. Lin!"

He watched Lin Yuan's departing back, his heart full of awe.
