363: who is the prey

Bennett was dead, but the battle was far from over; in fact, it had only just begun.

This battle could not possibly end until one side was completely annihilated.

However, as the battle continued, the Cosmic Beasts attempting to attack Lin Tianwei began to frown.

Compressing Lin Tianwei's body seemed to weaken his strength, making the power gap between them even larger.

But it also granted Lin Tianwei extraordinary Flexibility, making him untouchable by ordinary Cosmic Beasts.

It was important to remember that although Lin Tianwei's body appeared smaller, he was in peak condition and could unleash his full strength.

While his attack power was affected, his Flexibility was greater than ever, allowing him to evade enemy attacks with almost no energy consumption.

Conversely, after his body was compressed, Lin Tianwei's attacks, though lacking destructive power, were full of impact, always precisely knocking enemies into the embrace of the Power of Destruction.

In other words, they had no way to deal with Lin Tianwei; once struck by him, they would at least suffer the tragic fate of losing limbs.

This situation made the Cosmic Beasts besieging Lin Tianwei curse loudly:

"Zahary! Bennett! What idiotic thing have you two fools done?"

"Your useless Talents not only failed to affect the enemy but kept backstabbing our own people. You're truly not letting anyone rest even in death!"

"At least retract your foolish Talents before you die!"

However, no matter how much they cursed, they couldn't change the current situation; the so-called encirclement had turned into a cat-and-mouse game for Lin Tianwei.

A Cosmic Beast, half-virtualized into an Energy Body, attempted a sneak attack on Lin Tianwei but found he couldn't even shake Lin Tianwei's strong tiger body.

His proud Energy Body was completely countered by the Power of Destruction, unable to break free from the Power of Destruction that clung to him like maggots.

Ultimately, his body itself turned into nourishment for the Power of Destruction, becoming Lin Tianwei's new prey.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding! Talent extraction successful. Host has gained Talent: Energy Body (Extraordinary)."

"Energy Body (Extraordinary): An Extraordinary-level Talent that allows the body to be fully energy-converted, gaining greater advantages in offense and defense."

A Cosmic Beast opened his Giant Maw and, taking advantage of Lin Tianwei's compressed body, swallowed Lin Tianwei whole in one gulp.

He possessed a Talent called 'Greedy Devour,' which allowed him to digest anything swallowed into his belly into energy.

However, he overestimated his appetite; Lin Tianwei was not something he could digest.

Faced with such an act of food counter-devouring him, Lin Tianwei decided to teach him a good lesson.

Talent: Giant Maw (Extraordinary)!

Talent: Sharp Teeth (Extraordinary)!

Talent: Fast Digestion (Extraordinary)!

Talent: Mental Food (King)!

Lin Tianwei's Sharp Teeth were excellent; he opened his Giant Maw and began to devour the Cosmic Beast from the inside.

After fighting for so long, Lin Tianwei had consumed a lot of stamina, now only having ninety percent left.

It was the perfect time for a hearty meal to replenish his expended stamina.

This unfortunate Cosmic Beast never imagined what kind of disaster he had swallowed.

Just as he was celebrating his triumph in dealing with the menace Lin Tianwei, his expression suddenly changed.

Having not felt pain for too long, he felt an unbearable agony in his belly, as if worms were constantly gnawing at his body.

Before he could realize the seriousness of the situation, he horrifyingly discovered that his belly had a hole.

A hole just big enough for Lin Tianwei to escape through.

What followed was Lin Tianwei's incredibly familiar figure, and a force so immense it could send him flying.

Bang!

Like playing volleyball, Lin Tianwei smacked the Cosmic Beast's massive body away.

He sent it flying towards a cluster of Power of Destruction lying in wait, and the Cosmic Beast's fate was predictable.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding! Talent extraction successful. Host has gained Talent: Greedy Devour (Extraordinary)."

"Greedy Devour (Extraordinary): An Extraordinary-level Talent, powerful digestive ability that can digest all energy and matter."

"Note: Don't be greedy, or you might get a stomachache."

...This was a bloodless massacre, yet it was incredibly tragic, with a new Cosmic Beast falling every few moments.

Gradually, these unfortunate Cosmic Beasts finally discovered the truth of this battle, the cruel truth that they were the prey.

After fighting for so long, although it seemed like they were chasing Lin Tianwei, from the results, Lin Tianwei was unharmed, while they suffered heavy losses.

Undoubtedly, they were the true clowns, being hunted as prey by Lin Tianwei, whom they had looked down upon.

Some Cosmic Beasts even suspected that the Power of Destruction floating in the air was Lin Tianwei's handiwork.

Otherwise, how could this Power of Destruction be so precise, always launching fatal attacks on Cosmic Beasts knocked into its vicinity?

As soon as this thought arose, boundless fear enveloped their hearts. These seemingly invincible Cosmic Beasts finally became afraid, completely losing the courage to fight Lin Tianwei.

Their eyes darted around, occasionally glancing behind them, beginning to calculate the fastest way to escape this dangerous area.

To escape their tragic fate of becoming Lin Tianwei's prey.

Want to escape? Have you asked me first?

The moment these Cosmic Beasts' mentality shifted, Lin Tianwei had already keenly sensed everything.

Talent: Space Compression (Extraordinary)!

Lin Tianwei's body instantly broke free from its restraints, transforming from a mini-tiger back to his original majestic and domineering form.

Correspondingly, terrifying Space Compression energy permeated the surroundings, instantly compressing all nearby areas.

The primordial starlight stone itself was a treasure for compressing space, coupled with Lin Tianwei's Space Compression Talent, and the massive Space Energy hidden within the Space Energy Star.

The three interacted like a chemical reaction, exploding instantly, compressing the entire space around Lin Tianwei.

Even the Cosmic Beasts besieging Lin Tianwei were compressed into miniature states.

Ten times?

No, fifty times!

The powerful Lin Tianwei could unleash Talent: Space Compression (Extraordinary) even more powerfully, with even better results.

Yin and Yang reversed!

The huge size disparity still existed, but this time, Lin Tianwei had turned the tables, becoming the master and starting another game called 'swatting flies.'

Facing Lin Tianwei, who was like a raging beast, Hamilton suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted:

"Everyone, don't be afraid! We still hold a huge advantage."

"Before, the enemy was just like us, at an absolute disadvantage in terms of size, yet he used his flexible movements to evade our capture."

"Even because of his small size, he had a natural advantage in sneak attacks, often making us suffer setbacks."

"Shrinking us is his most foolish act. Now we just need to imitate his previous movements and continuously launch sneak attacks on him."

Hamilton, who had been shrunk, even showed a look of joy on his face; clearly, he had accepted his own foolish theory.

Moving rapidly, Hamilton imitated Lin Tianwei's past movements, constantly shifting while also looking for an opportune moment.

The Cosmic Beasts shrunk by Lin Tianwei were originally panicking, but after Hamilton's reminder, they settled down.

They believed that there was no reason why they couldn't do something Lin Tianwei could easily do.

Even if the Power of Destruction had likely been tamed and become the enemy's minions, as long as they kept attacking the enemy, they still had hope of victory.

Thinking this, they began to fly around Lin Tianwei like flies.

Although they didn't make a noisy "buzzing" sound, it was enough to make Lin Tianwei extremely annoyed.

But luckily, this annoyance was only temporary.

Because Lin Tianwei would soon let them know the significant difference between beasts; what Lin Tianwei could do, they couldn't, and what they couldn't do, Lin Tianwei could easily achieve.

A glint flashed in his eyes; after a long wait, Lin Tianwei finally found an opportunity to attack.

A pair of Claws swept backward at an extremely fast speed, instantly enveloping a dozen Cosmic Beasts within his attack range.

Talent: Steel Thorns (Extraordinary)!

Swatting flies with his bare paws seemed to lose the advantage of Claws, but it didn't mean Lin Tianwei had no other means of attack.

Powerful strength, and sharp tiger hairs like swords, these were all incredibly effective offensive methods.

Flies are called flies precisely because they are annoying and extremely difficult to hit.

These Cosmic Beasts besieging Lin Tianwei perfectly inherited these two attributes of flies.

Sensing Lin Tianwei's enormous tiger paw covering them like a shadow, all but the most stubborn Cosmic Beasts' first reaction was to flee.

To escape from the forest of Steel Thorns that was about to engulf them all.

They even moved with such tacit understanding, as if they had communicated, each Cosmic Beast fleeing in a different direction, leaving Lin Tianwei unable to attend to them all, forced to concentrate his efforts on the areas with the most enemies.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a few muffled groans, Lin Tianwei's attack achieved significant results.

Although a dozen flies narrowly escaped, Lin Tianwei still managed to capture three.

These three flies were incredibly miserable, impaled like candied hawthorns by countless sharp tiger hairs, welded to Lin Tianwei's tiger paw.

Lin Tianwei had little patience for flies; his tiger Claws swung again, and these flies were involuntarily sent flying forward, finally being swallowed by Lin Tianwei's open Giant Maw.

Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't do something as foolish as the previous Cosmic Beast, exposing his vulnerable internal body defenselessly to the enemy.

These three flies didn't even have time to see the internal structure of Lin Tianwei's body before they felt an extremely terrifying suction coming from Lin Tianwei's belly, ultimately drawing them into an unknown region.

An unknown region they had never seen before, filled with nothingness and darkness, where only three giant stars rotated continuously.

Just as they were wondering where this place was, they horrifyingly discovered that the three previously quiet stars had actually begun to move, rotating at an extremely fast speed.

Like cannonballs, they sped towards the three flies.

Although they didn't know what these three stars were, instinct told them that these were definitely extremely dangerous and terrifying existences.

Once hit, they would undoubtedly be shattered to pieces.

Run!

This thought appeared in their minds and they immediately began to act on it.

However, they soon discovered that their bodies could not move freely in this unknown space; even a simple action like lifting a Claw was met with immense resistance.

It was as if this space had its own consciousness, constantly interfering with their movements.

Realizing this, their expressions instantly changed drastically, but before they could even think of a countermeasure, the three massive planets had already arrived before them.

Especially the largest star, which seemed to possess some special ability; one moment it was far away, the next it vanished, directly colliding with the Cosmic Beast that hadn't managed to escape.

Bang!

It was a dull thud.

This unfortunate Cosmic Beast only felt his body endure an unbearable force, instantly disintegrating into several pieces.

Before he could use his powerful Self-healing Ability to recover, he discovered a terrifying suction coming from the star that had shattered him, beginning to constantly devour his flesh and blood, his energy, and his spirit.

This star was also alive, and even a monster that ate beasts.

The Cosmic Beast's expression instantly turned terrified; he wanted to escape from here but found there was absolutely no way.

Ultimately, he could only watch as his body was devoured bit by bit by this star, becoming nourishment for its growth.

After completing the kill, this star quieted down again, slowly operating, as if nothing had happened here.

Only the remnants of flesh and blood on it proved that a Cosmic Beast of Cosmic Level ninth-tier strength had once fallen here.

The other two Cosmic Beasts fared no better.

Under the suppression of the world, they too soon became food for the other two stars.

Although these two stars were not as fast as the first, they also possessed mysterious and unpredictable methods.

One star emitted a strange energy that could actually cause the Cosmic Beast's body to undergo reverse growth.

Its strength plummeted from Cosmic Level ninth-tier, eventually even falling a major realm to Star-level ninth-tier.

Seemingly feeling that it could easily handle a Cosmic Beast of this level, this star stopped releasing its strange abilities.

Mimicking the first star, it swallowed this Cosmic Beast whole, turning it into its food.

The third star's offensive methods were even more mysterious and unpredictable; its weapon was space, endless space rifts.
