362: black slime

One Cosmic Beast fell, but more Cosmic Beasts came forward.

They advanced one after another, as if Lin Tianwei was the villain, frantically attacking him.

Perhaps it was out of fear of the Power of Destruction burning on Lin Tianwei's body; even though he had been greatly weakened, they still didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Every attack was extremely cautious, as if it wasn't Lin Tianwei who was surrounded, but them.

This scene made Filiche, who was watching the battlefield from afar, curse loudly, saying, "Useless, truly useless."

"Why are you cowering? Get in there now!"

"It's just a bit of Power of Destruction! Is it going to burn all of you beasts to death?"

"Useless is useless. I'll have to do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Filiche took an item from his storage space.

More precisely, it should have been a Slave.

Although these Cosmic Beasts were powerful, they were hesitant and couldn't unleash their full strength due to their fear of the Power of Destruction's erosion.

The Cosmic Beast Filiche had just taken out, though only Cosmic Level Seven in strength, was fearless in death and could, therefore, exert its maximum power.

The most valuable thing was that this Slave also possessed a terrifying Talent, a dreadful Talent capable of greatly weakening a target's strength, or even directly killing it.

Without hesitation, Filiche directly threw this Cosmic Beast into the cosmos.

Now it was his time to show off his might.

Upon arriving in space, this Cosmic Beast revealed its true form; it was a special Cosmic Beast resembling a slime.

It was entirely black, like mud, and looked very similar to the Black Liquid Lin Tianwei had given to Luo Ji.

Under Filiche's command, the black slime flew towards Lin Tianwei's location at an extremely fast speed.

In just a moment, it arrived in Lin Tianwei's area.

At this moment, Lin Tianwei was being besieged by more than a dozen Cosmic Beasts; facing an absolute numerical disadvantage, he inevitably became overwhelmed and exposed some weaknesses.

The black slime's perception was clearly excellent. The moment Lin Tianwei revealed another weakness, it transformed into a black light and flew rapidly towards Lin Tianwei at an extremely high speed.

Tail.

Lin Tianwei's slender tail was the black slime's target.

Only on the tail, furthest from his body, was there no terrifying Power of Destruction.

Talent: Parasitism (Extraordinary)!

As if ice and snow were melting, or gas dissolving, the black slime directly fused into Lin Tianwei's tail the moment it made contact with his body.

And using the tail as a medium, it began to rapidly advance into Lin Tianwei's body.

Unlike the Black Liquid's symbiotic Talent, the Parasitism Talent could be said to be entirely beneficial to the host, with no harm.

The moment the black slime integrated into Lin Tianwei's body, it began to contend with Lin Tianwei's consciousness for control of his body.

It sought to cause chaos in Lin Tianwei's body through this method, exposing a huge weakness, allowing him to be instantly killed by the Cosmic Beasts besieging him.

Lin Tianwei's main body was not powerful; what was powerful were the various Talents he possessed and the Star Power continuously generated from his inner world.

Even though the black slime only had Cosmic Level Seven strength, it showed no weakness when facing Lin Tianwei's body.

The moment it invaded Lin Tianwei's body, it began to rapidly integrate into it, vying for control of the body, and the effect was immediate.

An attack that Lin Tianwei should have easily dodged was not evaded due to the black slime's interference, causing his body to become extremely uncoordinated.

Whoosh~

Lin Tianwei, suddenly subjected to immense force, flew backward like a cannonball.

Lin Tianwei was about to adjust his position but found that his body was becoming uncontrollable.

It was as if it had its own will, constantly twisting and deforming, preventing Lin Tianwei from adjusting his position at all.

He could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to another Cosmic Beast, then was struck again like a cannonball, flying towards yet another Cosmic Beast.

These Cosmic Beasts were treating Lin Tianwei like a ping-pong ball, hitting him back and forth, attempting to completely destroy his body this way.

That terrifying power, each time, inflicted severe damage on Lin Tianwei's body, shattering him to pieces.

Under the enhancement of various recovery Talents, Lin Tianwei's body would rapidly recover while flying towards the next Cosmic Beast.

Through this cycle, Lin Tianwei's body gradually became distorted, eventually turning into a golden-yellow flesh ball, a flesh ball enveloped in black Power of Destruction.

Not only that, countless self-healing processes also consumed a large amount of Lin Tianwei's stamina. If this continued, Lin Tianwei would be beaten to death like a ball.

In fact, Lin Tianwei had discovered the black slime the moment it approached him.

However, he thought it was just an ordinary Cosmic Beast, and given the black slime's weaker strength, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He didn't expect that such an inconspicuous black slime would deliver the most fatal blow, causing his powerful self to begin to disintegrate from within, gradually falling apart.

Moreover, since the black slime had already integrated into his body, Lin Tianwei couldn't do anything to it.

After all, attacking the black slime was equivalent to attacking his own flesh, and it might not even work at all.

Of course, Lin Tianwei couldn't just sit back and wait for death. While his body was being continuously battered and gradually becoming deformed, he kept thinking about what he should do and how he could resolve the current predicament.

Ultimately, Lin Tianwei found the answer: Talent: Mental Power (King)!

If he couldn't eliminate the enemy on a physical level, then he would eliminate the enemy on a mental level.

At that point, even if the black slime was still inside him, without consciousness, it would absolutely not be able to cause him any interference.

Roughly speaking, he would have solved the problem himself.

Talent: Mental Strength Enhancement (Extraordinary)!

Lin Tianwei's Mental Power transformed into a shockwave, targeting himself, and began an indiscriminate attack.

The black slime had completely integrated into Lin Tianwei's body; it was omnipresent, everywhere.

Its consciousness could even instantly move from one corner of Lin Tianwei's body to another.

Facing such a situation, any hesitation would allow the opponent to dodge his Mental Power shockwave and survive, clinging to life.

Only a full-scale, all-encompassing attack, with the determination to destroy everything, could completely eliminate the black slime.

Bang!

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Tianwei's body actually exploded.

This body, which had been battered by countless Cosmic Beasts without even breaking the skin, finally exploded because it could not withstand the internal Mental Power shockwave.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere; at this moment, Lin Tianwei looked incredibly miserable.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has gained Talent: Parasitism (Extraordinary)."

"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."

"Parasitism (Extraordinary): An Extraordinary-level Talent that allows one to parasitize other living organisms, slowly devouring the host's energy."

"Note: Cannot parasitize targets that are too powerful. Once Parasitism reaches a certain degree, partial control over the host's body can be gained."

"The higher the degree of Parasitism, the more control is gained."

"Warning: Parasitism may be discovered and killed by the host. Please use with caution."

Lin Tianwei, internally exploded, looked incredibly tragic, but he had also successfully escaped the black slime's control.

Although the black slime still existed within Lin Tianwei's body at this moment, it no longer had the consciousness to manipulate Lin Tianwei's body.

In fact, due to the integration of the black slime, Lin Tianwei's body had become even stronger.

He even acquired a trace of the black slime's characteristics.

Although he felt that Talent: Parasitism (Extraordinary) did not quite fit his personality, since this Talent was useful enough, Lin Tianwei naturally could not refuse and immediately chose to use it.

Talent: Time Acceleration (Extraordinary)!

Talent: Speed Burst (King)!

Talent: Simple Regeneration (Extraordinary)!

Although he had successfully eliminated the black slime, Lin Tianwei's physical condition was also at its worst.

If he couldn't recover his body quickly, Lin Tianwei would have no chance of turning the tide.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei, disregarding the large amount of energy it would consume, simultaneously used three Talents.

Under the enhancement of the first two Talents, Lin Tianwei's speed reached its limit.

Just like the pseudo-teleportation before, even if it could barely be detected, it could not be stopped by these Cosmic Beasts that were not fast enough.

Under the effect of Talent: Simple Regeneration (Extraordinary), the scattered flesh and blood instantly withered; those were the remnants after Lin Tianwei recycled his origin.

With an ample supply of energy, Lin Tianwei's body began to regenerate rapidly, and in just the blink of an eye, he had returned to a perfectly intact state.

The only change, perhaps, was the Power of Destruction that had originally coiled around Lin Tianwei's body.

The black flames were no longer there; instead, they had scattered with the explosion, quietly suspended in space, looking very harmless.

Lin Tianwei's instant resurrection stunned the surrounding Cosmic Beasts.

They never imagined that after fighting countless rounds with so much effort, just as they were about to win, the BOSS would, as if cheating, instantly revive with full health.

BOSSes are not that easy to kill; they all have several health bars.

Without warning, this thought suddenly appeared in their minds.

However, this was not the time to be stunned; the battle had to continue. They couldn't stop until Lin Tianwei was completely destroyed.

Although Lin Tianwei had now recovered to a perfectly intact state, without the interference of the Power of Destruction, these Cosmic Beasts no longer held back and could unleash their full strength.

In an instant, several speed-type Cosmic Beasts flew towards Lin Tianwei at an extremely high speed.

Due to their extreme speed, they even left several afterimages in the air.

Facing their sudden attack, Lin Tianwei's expression remained unchanged.

A speed contest? He had never feared other Cosmic Beasts.

In less than half a second, the fastest Cosmic Beast had already crossed thousands of meters and arrived in front of Lin Tianwei.

Without hesitation, the greatsword, condensed from a Mental Power weapon, fiercely slashed towards Lin Tianwei.

The reason this Cosmic Beast could unleash such speed was that it had sacrificed something for extreme velocity.

It had even lost its essential Claws and could only attack with Mental Power weapons.

Accompanied by a crisp whooshing sound, the greatsword was unstoppable, directly passing through Lin Tianwei's body, splitting him in two.

Seeing this, this Cosmic Beast named Bennett couldn't help but feel smug. This Cosmic Beast, which countless other Cosmic Beasts couldn't defeat, had finally fallen by his hand.

Even its body was completely cut in half.

However, he quickly realized something was wrong. The feel was off, completely wrong. It didn't feel like hitting a target at all; instead, it felt like striking air.

Bennett's face instantly changed dramatically.

Not hitting the enemy meant the enemy was still lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity, didn't it?

As if by instinct, Bennett quickly retreated, trying to avoid any potential attack.

However, he realized it too late.

Half a second was enough for these Cosmic Beasts to move tens of thousands of meters, let alone Lin Tianwei, whose speed was already extremely fast.

After leaving an afterimage in place to lure the enemy, Lin Tianwei had already launched his attack the moment Bennett made the wrong judgment.

Small against large!

An extremely terrifying, irresistible force suddenly came from Bennett's side, mercilessly knocking him away, and his body involuntarily flew towards the distance.

And there, precisely, a large amount of Power of Destruction was suspended.

Lin Tianwei's attack might not have been fatal, but this Power of Destruction was the most deadly thing.

The terrifying Power of Destruction, like ruthless flames, began to frantically scorch Bennett's body.

Because there were so many flames clinging to Bennett's body, in less than three minutes, Bennett was completely burned to ashes, turning into dust.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has gained Talent: Space Compression (Extraordinary)."

"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."

"Space Compression (Extraordinary): An Extraordinary-level Talent, a miraculous power that can compress space, and even things existing within that space cannot escape."

"Note: The Space Energy consumed will vary depending on the target space's conditions."

"Warning: If there are overly powerful targets in the space, the effect of Space Compression will be greatly reduced, or even fail."

Bennett's rapid death was naturally Lin Tianwei's deliberate masterpiece.

Nothing else; he had his eyes on Bennett's Space Compression Talent and chose to use it immediately upon successful extraction.

This way, Lin Tianwei would not be so passive and could rely on the power of Talent: Space Compression (Extraordinary) to restore himself to his perfect state at any time.

Coupled with the primordial starlight stone Lin Tianwei possessed, after acquiring Talent: Space Compression (Extraordinary), Lin Tianwei's strength would definitely reach a new level.
