259: Origin Spear

This was a carnival of life, a feast of life.

Or perhaps, it was self-salvation.

In this short span of less than three minutes, tens of millions of people quietly perished.

They didn't even wait for the missiles to arrive, choosing instead to calmly embrace death.

This was a magnificent feat belonging to the entire Blue Star.

In the Antarctic Sea.

Upon seeing the missiles rising into the sky, the Cosmic Beast was initially quite disdainful.

He was currently in his prime; there were no massive wounds on his body caused by Lin Tianwei.

These toy-like objects couldn't inflict any damage on him at all.

Thinking this, the Cosmic Beast looked at the heavily injured Lin Tianwei beside him and said, "What a pity."

"I didn't expect you to be backstabbed again."

"Only you, heavily injured, could be harmed by these toys."

Facing the Cosmic Beast's attempts to sow discord, Lin Tianwei merely said indifferently, "Noisy."

Lin Tianwei did not live for others; he had always lived only for himself.

What others did was their business and could not shake the resolute Lin Tianwei in the slightest.

All Lin Tianwei wanted to think about now was how to defeat this terrifying opponent before him.

As long as he was alive, Lin Tianwei would never give up.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei easily avoided the Cosmic Beast's sneak attack.

This cunning opponent never did anything superfluous.

His verbal taunts were merely to quickly kill Lin Tianwei.

But clearly, his not-so-clever tactic had failed.

Lin Tianwei was not so easily swayed.

However, before the Cosmic Beast could attack Lin Tianwei again, its expression suddenly changed.

Because he discovered, to his horror, that the so-called toys that he thought were attacking him were not flying towards the Antarctic Sea at all.

Instead, they were heading towards these foolish creatures themselves.

They were committing suicide; his food was committing suicide!

The Cosmic Beast instantly came to this conclusion and roared furiously:

"You foolish ants, who allowed you to commit suicide without my command?"

"I command you to cease your foolish actions."

Although the Cosmic Beast was incredibly powerful, in restraining Lin Tianwei, he had also restrained himself.

Facing the attacks from outside, he could only bark in futility.

His voice, though incredibly majestic, carried no real threat and wouldn't scare anyone.

The Cosmic Beast could only watch in exasperated rage as those toys drew closer and closer to his food.

However, the Cosmic Beast then consoled himself, saying:

"Although this food is a bit lacking, it won't be blown to bits by toys."

"They are only increasing their suffering before death."

"Anyone who still has a breath left can become my food."

"Tsk tsk tsk, perhaps when they are half-dead from the explosions, they will thank me for my mercy."

"Thank me for mercifully releasing them from the agony of near-death."

Although the Cosmic Beast was optimistic enough, what happened next was beyond his expectations.

The food in his eyes was destroying itself in another way.

A way that seemed extremely foolish in his eyes.

Since they were going to die anyway, why not live a few more seconds?

The Cosmic Beast's face instantly turned incredibly dark.

He did indeed have other methods to accelerate the harvesting of this food, but all those methods required consuming a massive amount of Origin Power.

How could he be so foolish as to do something so unprofitable?

He could only watch helplessly as his food destroyed itself little by little, taking the Origin Power that should have belonged to him and disappearing between heaven and earth.

Damn it.

He must quickly accelerate the Return to Origin secret art, using Death Ripple to harvest their Origin Power as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if too much food died, this venture would truly be a losing one.

Thinking this, the Cosmic Beast actually gave up on attacking Lin Tianwei.

In his eyes, Lin Tianwei, whom he had restrained, was merely a turtle in a jar.

If he didn't attack Lin Tianwei, Lin Tianwei should be grateful to cling to life, and it would be impossible for him to muster the courage to fight him.

Compared to that, harvesting Origin Power was naturally more important.

Thinking this, the Cosmic Beast held his breath and concentrated, beginning to accelerate the advance of Death Ripple.

He attempted to harvest the lives of the entire Blue Star before all Blue Star creatures died.

However, he was still a bit too naive.

How could Lin Tianwei let go of this hard-won opportunity to attack?

Although he didn't know why the Cosmic Beast's expression suddenly changed and he let him go, Lin Tianwei knew that he absolutely could not let the Cosmic Beast have an easy time.

Instead of taking the opportunity to recover from his injuries, Lin Tianwei actively launched an attack on the Cosmic Beast.

The Cosmic Beast, who was fully activating the Return to Origin secret art, was practically a living target.

Since that was the case, Lin Tianwei wouldn't hold back at all.

Extending his tiger claws, Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly launched an attack on the Cosmic Beast.

A Black Tiger Digs the Heart strike went straight for the Cosmic Beast's vital heart.

Not only that, Lin Tianwei's body simultaneously underwent a strange change, allowing him to attack the Cosmic Beast with Sharp Teeth while using Black Tiger Digs the Heart.

Claws and fangs were inherently the most powerful weapons of a beast.

Lin Tianwei's claws and fangs were even sharper to the extreme.

Crack.

That was the sound of the Cosmic Beast's scales shattering.

Although these scales were strong enough, they couldn't completely defend against Lin Tianwei's attack.

After resisting for only a moment, they were instantly pulverized by the immense force from Lin Tianwei.

However, before Lin Tianwei's attack could go any further, the Cosmic Beast's body quickly shifted, dodging Lin Tianwei's attack.

In his shrunken state, Lin Tianwei's attributes were greatly reduced; even with the initiative, his attacks were difficult to make effective.

But this was also expected; Lin Tianwei's main goal was to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting.

Sure enough, he soon heard the Cosmic Beast's exasperated voice:

"You foolish ant, you are simply courting death."

"Since you seek your own demise, I will grant it to you first."

Although the Cosmic Beast spoke harsh words, Lin Tianwei had already discerned his feigned bravado.

If he truly possessed such strength, he would have attacked him long ago, so how could he speak so much nonsense?

At the same time, the Cosmic Beast's feigned bravado also gave Lin Tianwei hope.

There must have been some special event that made the opponent feel a crisis, which is why he ignored him.

Perhaps now was the best time for him to make a desperate gamble!

Under the blessing of the Talent: Speed Burst (Extraordinary), Lin Tianwei once again gained an advantage in speed.

Not only that, his body continuously expanded, returning to its strongest state in an extremely short time.

His body was like a nimble snake, biting fiercely into the Cosmic Beast's head in a very strange posture.

Perhaps he didn't expect Lin Tianwei to suddenly erupt, or perhaps the Cosmic Beast was only focused on harvesting the lives on Blue Star.

This time, his massive head actually failed to dodge Lin Tianwei's sudden sneak attack.

With a fierce bite, his head instantly exploded.

Crimson blood splattered everywhere, looking incredibly gruesome.

It formed a stark contrast with the harsh words he had just uttered.

Such a fatal injury naturally interrupted the Cosmic Beast's attack, and the advance of Death Ripple slowed down a bit.

This bought more time for the people of the Northern Hemisphere.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei chose to press the advantage.

The sweet, metallic scent of blood mixed with the briny seawater emitted an alluring fragrance.

This time, no one came to disturb or prevent Lin Tianwei from feeding.

After taking a bite, Lin Tianwei didn't choose to stop eating but simply began to chew.

He started to devour the Cosmic Beast's head right in front of him.

The prolonged battle had pushed Lin Tianwei's physical strength to its limit.

He naturally couldn't miss this rare food.

Under the effect of the Talent: Fast Digestion (Extraordinary), the Cosmic Beast's head would quickly transform into Lin Tianwei's energy.

Chewing rapidly, accompanied by the crunching sound of bone shattering, Lin Tianwei swallowed the rare food in his mouth.

However, such an action was nothing short of a blatant provocation to the Cosmic Beast.

Although he possessed a large amount of Origin Power, even with his head devoured, it was not fatal.

But this action was a slap in the face, a severe slap in the face.

Rage began to surge.

Anger gradually eroded the Cosmic Beast's reason.

He suddenly felt that Origin Power and such had become unimportant.

At worst, he would fall into slumber again and search for another planet to devour.

But this hateful tiger, this shameless tiger, this insidious and cunning tiger, must die.

Even if he had to waste a large amount of Origin Power and fall into slumber because of it.

Even if he might be discovered by other powerful enemies while in slumber and thus die.

This tiger before him must die.

Supported by a powerful belief, the Cosmic Beast merely distanced himself from Lin Tianwei.

Brilliant golden light, representing Origin Power, erupted from the Cosmic Beast's body once again.

This time, however, this golden light was not used to repair the Cosmic Beast's body but to launch a fatal attack on Lin Tianwei.

As Origin Power gathered, a golden spear, existing between reality and illusion, condensed in the void.

Danger, immense danger.

A tremor from his consciousness warned Lin Tianwei that this would be an attack capable of endangering his life.

Looking solemnly at the spear in the void, Lin Tianwei pondered a method of defense.

Continue to use the Avatar of Myriad Forms Talent, using his distorted body to evade the spear's attack?

For some reason, Lin Tianwei felt that this was not a very good option.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Tianwei finally decided to use a Mental Shield.

He would use the Mental Shield, condensed from all his Mental Power, to block this attack.

An invisible light barrier instantly formed in front of Lin Tianwei.

As Mental Power was infused, this light barrier became increasingly solid, even showing signs of materializing.

Just as the light barrier crossed the boundary between illusion and reality and appeared before Lin Tianwei, the golden spear also launched an attack on Lin Tianwei.

Spatial Crossing!

The golden spear's attack method was incredibly bizarre, capable of breaking free from the shackles of space.

Lin Tianwei hadn't even had time to react before the golden spear had already arrived in front of him.

If he relied on the ability of Avatar of Myriad Forms, Lin Tianwei might not have had time to change his body's structure at all.

His consciousness could not keep up with the speed of this golden spear.

Fortunately, the light barrier covered Lin Tianwei's entire body; no matter how the golden spear attacked, Lin Tianwei would be blocked.

Hum.

A dull roar, like a bell, resounded throughout the entire seabed; that was the immense sound produced by the collision of the golden spear and the light barrier.

Not only that, driven by the golden spear, a terrifying impact continuously struck the light barrier protecting Lin Tianwei.

The seemingly indestructible light barrier already showed signs of shattering.

Crack.

Ultimately, the Origin Spear, condensed by the Cosmic Beast using Origin Power, was half a point stronger.

Cracks similar to a spiderweb gradually appeared on the light barrier, breaking inch by inch.

Finally, it turned into dust and dissipated in front of Lin Tianwei.

Danger!

Watching the Origin Spear strike directly at his vital head, a great alarm sounded in Lin Tianwei's heart.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei frantically activated his Speed Burst Talent, turning into an afterimage.

He attempted to evade this vital strike in this manner.

However, although Lin Tianwei's speed was very fast, the Origin Spear's speed was even faster.

That skill, capable of traversing space, was like a BUG, causing it to furiously attack Lin Tianwei.

The gradually approaching Origin Spear even made Lin Tianwei's consciousness begin to tremble.

That was a threat originating from death.

No sooner said than done!

Just as the Origin Spear was about to strike Lin Tianwei's body, he also pushed the Talent: Speed Burst (Extraordinary) to its limit.

Body like a shooting star!

Lin Tianwei rushed towards the Cosmic Beast's severed body at extreme speed, directly forcing an impossible situation.

Lin Tianwei's idea was simple: since this Origin Spear was so powerful and unavoidable, why not use it to kill the Cosmic Beast?

Want to harm me?

Then you don't even think about escaping!

This sudden turn of events clearly caught the Cosmic Beast off guard.

He never imagined that Lin Tianwei, who had been constantly dodging, had actually been preparing such a big move.

It turned out that Lin Tianwei wasn't being foolish by not seeing the Cosmic Beast's severed body; he had intentionally done so.

The purpose was to use the Origin Spear to heavily wound the Cosmic Beast at the most crucial moment.

The change came too suddenly; the Cosmic Beast was unable to change the direction of the Origin Spear on the fly.

He could only watch helplessly as the Origin Spear, with unstoppable momentum, impaled both himself and Lin Tianwei like candied hawthorns.

Talent: Avatar of Myriad Forms (Extraordinary)!

Just as the Origin Spear was about to hit Lin Tianwei's body, Lin Tianwei's head began to differentiate and twist like soft mud.

Finally, a huge gap was left.

This time, the Origin Spear only hit the Cosmic Beast himself!

Lin Tianwei, possessing countless Talents, finally found the most suitable combat method for this situation.

This seemingly world-destroying Origin Spear could ultimately only kill the Cosmic Beast himself! (End of Chapter)
