64: Ignite everyone's hope

The enormous black rift spanning the sky, like a bleeding wound of the world, with the surging void and leaping purple destructive lightning within, cast a shadow of despair over every living being.

Lin Feng bore the brunt of it, the terrifying pressure originating from the core of life itself almost crushing his will.

The shapeshifted Alien Queen also felt immense pressure, but the ferocity from her bloodline and her absolute loyalty to Lin Feng allowed her to withstand this pressure, her pseudo-transcendent aura emanating like the strongest bulwark, protecting Lin Feng, Qin Yuyan, and Chen Xiaohu!

"Roar!!!"

At the forefront of the beast tide, the several massive Gold-level beast vanguards briefly stiffened and showed fear under the pseudo-transcendent pressure, their charge momentarily slowing.

But the rampant power forcibly injected into their bodies by the Beastmasters, and the more urgent, primitive, and wild drumming and roaring from the Beastmaster priest group behind them, quickly overwhelmed their instinctive fear.

"Woo! Awoo!"

In the beasts' crimson eyes, fear was replaced by a deeper madness; they once again let out earth-shattering roars, enveloped in destructive dust, like an out-of-control steel torrent, continuing to press forward!

However, their originally overwhelming momentum was, after all, weakened somewhat by the pseudo-transcendent pressure.

"It's... it's over?!"

Even with the protection of the Alien Queen's pseudo-transcendent aura, Chen Xiaohu still collapsed to the ground, uttering desperate murmurs.

Qin Yuyan's face was also as pale as paper, the light from the Ice Crystal Phoenix's wings flickering, but she clung tightly to Lin Feng's clothes, as if that were her only reliance, a faint spark of unyielding light in her eyes.

"Lin Feng... we..."

"Don't be afraid!"

Lin Feng's voice was deep and hoarse, yet carried an unwavering, resolute strength, like a stabilizing anchor.

"If the sky falls, I'll hold it up!!"

His inner Origin Core spun wildly at an unprecedented speed, and professional energy surged like a tsunami throughout his body.

This aura, originating from his own powerful will and strength, greatly alleviated the suffocating sense of oppression in Qin Yuyan's heart, sharply reducing her pressure.

"Ice Phoenix, use 'Extreme Cold Domain'! Slow them down!"

Feeling the pressure ease, Qin Yuyan immediately seized the opportunity to give the order, her voice clear and firm.

The Ice Crystal Phoenix let out a clear cry, weary yet exceptionally high-pitched, its wings suddenly spread, and a dense, ice-blue cold air surged forward like a bursting ice river, spreading rapidly!

Wherever the cold air passed, the ground instantly froze into a thick layer of frost with sharp ice shards, the air temperature plummeted, and even space seemed to be frozen.

The several Gold-level beasts charging at the very front visibly slowed down, their bodies covered in layers of ice armor, their heavy steps slipping on the icy surface.

"Now!"

"Queen, tear them apart!"

"Rift, interfere with the flanks!"

"Abyssal Venom, cover with poison mist, clear the field!"

Lin Feng's commands were concise and ruthless, like thunder on the battlefield.

The Alien Queen was the first to respond!

She transformed into a shadow almost imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly vanishing from her spot.

The next moment, a grating, teeth-grinding sound of metal tearing erupted among the beast tide vanguard!

Her figure weaved spectrally among the several Gold-level behemoths severely slowed by the frost, her incomparably sharp tail blade like the scythe of death, each flash bringing with it gushes of hot blood and agonizing screams.

A Gold-level mid-tier Rock Rhinoceros, its tough hide like paper before the tail blade, had its neck instantly severed, its massive head tilting as it crashed to the ground, scattering ice shards everywhere!

She was like the most terrifying killing machine, tearing a bloody rift through the beast horde, leaving dismembered limbs flying in her wake, utterly ferocious!

Rift's wings vibrated, emitting a high-frequency hum.

It did not directly plunge into the core of the beast horde, but rather circled at high speed on the flank of the beast tide, like an elegant and deadly dancer.

Invisible spatial blades, like the most precise cutting storm, swept out silently!

Space was easily torn, forming long, thin, deadly spatial rifts.

These rifts, like the sharpest blades, instantly cut the beasts in their path into several pieces, whether they were thick-skinned giant bears or swift jackals!

Blood gushed like fountains from the clean cuts, instantly dyeing the ground red.

Rift's spatial cutting not only caused massive casualties but also created immense chaos and panic on the beast tide's flank, effectively diverting the pressure on Lin Feng's front.

Abyssal Venom's massive body was like a moving mountain; it suddenly pressed forward, its abdomen, covered in thick armor, bulging high, and then, like a volcanic eruption, it spewed out a dark green poison mist that blotted out the sky!

This poison mist was viscous like liquid, carrying a pungent, sweet smell and terrifying corrosiveness, like a dark green tsunami of death, instantly engulfing an area of nearly a thousand meters ahead!

Low to mid-tier beasts enveloped by the poison mist didn't even have time to scream before their bodies visibly twitched violently, melted, and rotted, eventually turning into bubbling puddles of pus!

Even Gold-level beasts that merely touched the edge of the poison mist had their tough fur and scales emit a "sizzling" corrosive sound, their movements becoming slow and painful, their combat power greatly reduced.

Abyssal Venom's poison mist cleared a chilling death zone in front of Lin Feng and the others!

Lin Feng himself charged out like a ghost, a dark green long saber, condensed from Abyssal Venom's poison, appearing in his hand at some unknown point, its blade flowing with a deadly, eerie glow.

He combined the combat instincts from the Alien gene with his own precise killing techniques, his figure flickering at the edge of the frost and poison mist, each swing accurately cutting into the weak points of the beasts' defenses, which were slowed by frost or corroded by poison mist... joints, eyes, throats!

His saber light was like lightning, bringing with it gushes of hot blood, efficient and ruthless, like a grim reaper on the battlefield.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just as Lin Feng, like a pillar of strength, fiercely confronted the beast tide vanguard, forcefully curbing, tearing, and poisoning the surging beast tide torrent, several violent energy attacks, carrying a determined momentum, blasted into the relatively weaker rear flank of the beast tide, creating patches of bloody, empty ground and temporarily slowing the replenishment rate of subsequent beasts.

Immediately after, several figures, filled with the excitement of surviving a catastrophe and the courage of a do-or-die situation, desperately rushed over!

"Damn it! We're dead either way, let's fight these beasts! Brothers up front, hold on! We're here to help you!"

A burly young man, covered in blood and wielding a huge battle-axe, roared as he charged at the front; he was a Student driven here by the beast horde.

He swung his battle-axe, fiercely cleaving open a Silver-level demon wolf that tried to bypass the poison mist zone and attack.

Behind him, seven or eight other Students, equally disheveled and covered in wounds, slowly appeared... their originally despairing eyes, upon seeing Lin Feng's almost god-like scene of resisting the beast tide vanguard and even slaughtering them in reverse, suddenly erupted with an astonishing flame of survival!

Especially the figures of the Alien Queen, Rift, and Abyssal Venom, dominating the beast horde like demon gods, instantly reignited the hope that had almost died within them!

"Student! Hold on! We're coming to help!"

Another agile young man shouted.

As he ran, a short bow gleaming with faint light in his hand continuously opened and closed, arrows imbued with scorching flames shot out like meteors, precisely killing the flying beasts attempting to dive down and attack Lin Feng's back from the air.

"Form up! Quickly form a defensive formation! Don't let the subsequent beasts break through the brothers up front!"
