80: Chapter 80 The Metamorphosis of the Sea of Spirit
The white giant net woven from nine pillars of energy light came too fast, too suddenly.
The moment he was enveloped by the giant net, Wang Pingan felt as if his spiritual sea of consciousness had been thrown into a massive piece of amber.
It became incomparably viscous and heavy.
His spiritual power, which he took great pride in, actually operated with extreme sluggishness at this moment.
Along with it, his control over his body also experienced a brief stagnation.
It was just this fraction of a second of stagnation.
That giant energy net had already descended upon him!
Sizzle—!
The giant net touched the layer of pale gold blood qi astral energy on Wang Pingan's body, emitting a tooth-aching corrosive sound.
His protective astral energy, strong enough to withstand the bombardment of high-energy energy guns, was as fragile as thin ice before this strange giant net, crumbling inch by inch after supporting him for less than half a second!
Immediately after, the energy threads carrying a hint of numbness coiled around his body.
A terrifying force that even he could not resist bound his limbs, his torso, and every inch of his muscle tightly!
He was like a flying insect captured in a spider web, unable to move.
“Damn it!”
Wang Pingan cursed inwardly.
He never expected that this seemingly harmless yuan magnetic spirit fruit tree would actually be such a poisonous trap!
This was not a fortuitous opportunity at all!
This was a natural cage specifically designed to capture prey!
At the very moment Wang Pingan was completely bound by the giant net.
The black rock beneath his feet began to tremble violently.
Crack, crack.
On the surface of the rock, spiderweb-like cracks split open.
Immediately after.
Within Wang Pingan's suddenly constricted pupils.
That massive black rock actually... slowly stood up!
What rock was that?
It was clearly a terrifying giant beast with an unimaginably massive body that had disguised itself as a rock!
Its entire body was pitch black, as if pieced together from countless irregular black crystals, full of rugged beauty and a sense of power.
Its shape was like an ancient pangolin magnified countless times.
And that yuan magnetic spirit fruit tree grew right on its broad, mountain-like back!
That was no natural treasure at all!
That was a lethal bait used by this giant beast to lure prey!
“Roar—!”
The black giant beast looked up to the sky and let out a dull roar filled with anger.
The sound waves turned into a physical shockwave, shaking the thick yuan magnetic spirit mist around it and sending it rolling in all directions.
Its lava-red eyes, hidden beneath its heavy shell, locked onto Wang Pingan, who was tied up tightly by the energy net.
The gaze was full of tyranny and a kind of... anger at its territory being intruded upon.
Clearly, Wang Pingan, this “uninvited guest,” had disturbed its slumber.
The black giant beast stepped out with its four thick legs, which were like pillars supporting the sky.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
With every step, the core area of the entire valley trembled violently along with it.
It opened its terrifying maw, large enough to swallow a hovercar and filled with countless layers of sharp teeth like millstones.
A nauseating, foul wind smelling of sulfur and rot rushed toward Wang Pingan.
It wanted to... eat him!
A crisis of life and death!
An unprecedented sense of immense crisis, enough to make the soul tremble, instantly submerged every nerve of Wang Pingan like a cold tide!
He had no doubt.
With this giant beast's size and strength, if it took just one bite, his fourth-grade physical body that he was so proud of would definitely be crushed into meat paste on the spot!
Must break free!
“Aaaaaah!”
Wang Pingan let out a silent roar in his heart.
He pushed the blood qi power in his body, which had just surged to 1350 cal, to the limit without reservation!
The pale gold blood qi astral energy rose and surged wildly on the surface of his body like burning flames!
The muscles all over his body bulged high, and his veins coiled and wriggled under his skin like hornless dragons!
He used all his strength to try and break free from the energy net that bound him tightly.
However, it was useless.
Those seemingly slender energy threads were tougher than imagined.
No matter how he struggled or exploded with power, he couldn't break them even a bit.
On the contrary, the harder he pulled, the tighter the net constricted!
The cold threads had already cut deep into his flesh, sending waves of heart-piercing pain.
Blood qi power won't work!
At this moment, Wang Pingan's mind raced rapidly.
The black giant beast was getting closer and closer to him.
He could even clearly see the blood and flesh remnants of unknown creatures hanging from the teeth in its maw, which were like mountains of knives and forests of swords.
The shadow of death had already loomed over his head.
Calm down!
Must stay calm!
The more it's like this, the less I can panic!
Wang Pingan forcibly suppressed the growing fear and despair in his heart.
In his imprisoned spiritual sea of consciousness, the Star Sea Contemplation Diagram began to operate frantically at an unprecedented speed!
Since brute force couldn't break him free, then he could only... solve the problem from its source!
This energy net was emitted by those nine yuan magnetic spirit fruits.
And those nine spirit fruits were symbiotic with this giant beast, their energy connected!
As long as the energy connection between them could be severed, this net would collapse on its own!
How to sever it?
With spiritual power!
A look of determination flashed in Wang Pingan's eyes!
He gave up all futile physical struggles.
He sank all his will and all his mind into his own spiritual sea of consciousness!
“Star Sea! Turn... for me!”
Buzz—!
His vast spiritual sea of consciousness completely boiled over at this moment!
The brilliant sea of stars composed of billions of stars began to rotate counter-clockwise frantically and in reverse!
An invisible yet domineering spiritual storm, large enough to distort everything, erupted with his spiritual sea of consciousness as the center!
That storm ignored the energy net's imprisonment of his spirit.
Because it wasn't striking outward.
But inward, extremely and frantically compressing!
At this moment, Wang Pingan condensed his spiritual power into a single point in a self-harming, almost insane manner!
A spiritual singularity emitting an aura of destruction!
“Break... for me!”
That spiritual singularity, like the first ray of light piercing the darkness, slammed fiercely into the barrier imprisoning his spiritual sea of consciousness!
Boom!
A loud bang, seemingly from the depths of his soul, exploded in Wang Pingan's mind!
He felt as if his head had been hit head-on by a supernova.
An indescribable pain nearly caused his consciousness to collapse on the spot.
But he succeeded!
That invisible barrier imprisoning his spirit was forcefully cracked with a tiny fissure by his most savage and unreasonable method!
Now!
Wang Pingan's extremely condensed spiritual power turned into an invisible yet incomparably sharp spike.
Following that fissure, it precisely pierced the energy core node of the energy net!
Pfft.
A faint, almost imperceptible sound.
The originally indestructible energy net shuddered violently at this moment, like a punctured balloon.
Immediately after, the light dimmed rapidly.
The terrifying force binding Wang Pingan's body also vanished into thin air at this moment.
Broke free!
At the same instant he broke free from the restraints.
The black giant beast's terrifying maw, large enough to swallow the heavens and earth, was already close at hand!
The foul-smelling gale blew Wang Pingan's hair, making it fly back wildly.
He could even feel the scythe of death already resting against his neck.
But there was no longer any of the previous panic on his face.
In its place was a cold, extreme madness born from surviving a disaster!
“Beast!”
“It's my turn!”
A roar.
Wang Pingan's figure left a blurry afterimage in place.
Phantom Flowing Light Steps!
He didn't retreat; he advanced!
His entire being turned into a golden lightning bolt, like a retrograde meteor, taking the initiative to charge toward that terrifying maw capable of crushing everything!
Meteor Fist!
He poured all the blood qi in his body, the rage of a survivor, and the fear of death into his right fist!
The pale gold blood qi astral energy in front of his fist rotated at high speed and compressed to the extreme at this moment!
Finally, it formed an energy light ball, brilliant to the extreme like a small sun, emitting an aura of destruction!
Then.
In the giant beast's crimson pupils, which were full of shock.
He smashed it in fiercely!
