184: Chapter 182 Dinner is served.

Lin Mo took a step out of the spatial rift and once again set foot on the scorched earth of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Just after landing, he looked up toward the end of the horizon.

That layer of world barrier, originally pale gold, had now been gnawed into a grayish-black color.

Densely packed soft-bodied creatures, like a layer of rotting moss, were clinging tightly to the world membrane.

They looked extremely disgusting.

Like deformed earthworms magnified countless times, their heads split open into a ring of sharp teeth, tearing at the halo on the world membrane bite by bite.

With every squirm, they would swallow a small piece of the Primordial World's origin.

In his mind, the voice of the world will sounded.

"Help me clear them out..."

"They are my natural enemies."

The gentle, mature-woman voice of his mother-in-law was actually laced with a hint of weakness and pitifulness at this moment.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

Good grief.

Ever since recognizing Su Xiaoli as her kin, his mother-in-law wasn't even bothering to act anymore.

This level of humanization was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.

Lin Mo scanned the information on those soft-bodied monsters.

[Void-Space World-Devouring Worm]

[Level: —]

[Trait: Void-Space Creature, immune to all physical, magical, law-based, and level-suppression damage from the True World.]

[Description: They exist solely to devour worlds.]

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Void-Space Creature? Not a Void Creature?

He had killed quite a few Void Creatures, and the void matter they dropped had become his own cultivation material.

But this was his first time seeing a Void-Space Creature.

Immune to all True World damage? That's absurd?

Before he could think it through, a violent surge of air exploded on the plains below.

Boom!

The Extraterrestrial Battlefield had completely turned into a meat grinder.

Hundreds of thousands of elite alliance members, led by Shen Yuntang and Alliance Leader Jiang You, were being tightly surrounded by countless deformed monsters.

The front line was being pushed back again and again.

On the scorched earth, there were broken weapons, shattered armor, and severed limbs that hadn't been retrieved in time everywhere.

Those monsters were bizarre in shape.

There were giant bears with three heads.

There were Wasteland Wolves with bone spurs piercing through their skin and flesh.

And there were giant reptilian creatures with half their bodies rotting and the other half distended by gray mist.

Gray mist surged in the depths of their eyes.

No pain. No fear.

Even if half their head was chopped off, they would still pounce to tear at the throats of the professionals.

Lin Mo casually tore open space and teleported directly to the very front of the line.

He didn't charge up energy. He simply raised his leg and stomped on the ground.

Bang!

The air in front was instantly emptied.

Countless mutated giant beasts didn't even have time to scream before they exploded into a sky full of black blood on the spot.

The black blood landed on the ground and quickly dissipated into gray smoke.

The sudden clearing of the field left the surrounding warriors stunned for a moment.

Shen Yuntang turned back abruptly.

The silver-white battle armor on her body had long since shattered for the most part, her shoulder armor was torn open, and her face was covered in blood and grime.

When she saw clearly that the person who arrived was Lin Mo, light instantly appeared in her bloodshot eyes.

"Lin Mo?!"

Shen Yuntang's voice was hoarse, and the hand holding her long sword was trembling.

"Where on earth have you been these past three months!"

"Three months?"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

He had only fought two waves of the Tali Tribe in the Boundary Sea.

At most, it had been no more than twelve hours.

How had ninety days already passed here in the Primordial World?

In his mind, the gentle, mature-woman voice soon sounded.

"There is no stable concept of time in the Boundary Sea and the void."

"Time there is affected by factors such as energy intensity, distance, mass, and spatial density."

"It speeds up and slows down; there are no time anchors."

Lin Mo finally understood.

No wonder these people looked at him as if they were seeing a missing person return.

"Where did these wild monsters come from?"

Lin Mo pointed to the pool of black blood on the ground that was vaporizing.

Alliance Leader Jiang You walked over, carrying his staff.

He had a deep, bone-exposed laceration on his chest, his magic robe was tattered, and the staff in his hand had cracked with several fine lines.

This Alliance Leader was panting as if he had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.

"Wild monster mutation."

"There were too many Void Creatures drawn by the nirvana god fetus. After they died, the gray mist they released settled, causing the original wild monsters here to mutate."

"These things have no sense of pain, aren't afraid of being killed, and are endless."

Alliance Leader Jiang You looked up at the densely packed sea of insects in the high sky and gave a bitter smile.

"However, these are just cannon fodder."

"The truly deadly ones are those things gnawing on the world membrane above."

Shen Yuntang gritted her teeth, her voice lowering a few degrees.

"We have tried every method."

"Ultimate ice and fire, spatial cutting, soul strangulation—none of it worked."

"The day before yesterday, the Alliance Leader self-detonated an origin artifact."

She looked up, staring at a scorched mark on the world membrane that hadn't yet faded.

"The result was just a spark of light."

"Those bugs didn't even have their skin broken."

Shen Yuntang gripped the spear shaft tightly, blood from her knuckles dripping down the spear body.

"It's as if they don't exist in this dimension."

"Our attacks pass directly through them."

"But when they gnaw on the world membrane, each bite leaves a hole."

Lin Mo didn't speak.

He saw it.

That layer of pale gold world membrane was already covered in grayish-black wounds of various sizes.

Some places had even been gnawed through a thin layer, revealing the radiance of the world's origin seeping out from within.

The world will was rapidly repairing the world membrane, but clearly, this couldn't go on forever.

The gentle, mature-woman voice sounded again.

This time, there was an uncontrollable hint of exhaustion in the voice.

"My attacks have no effect on them either."

"They will gather in greater and greater numbers."

"And in the end, they will completely devour me."

Lin Mo rubbed his chin.

"If even you can't deal with them, how am I supposed to?"

He wasn't being humble when he said that.

The vast majority of his attack abilities were built upon the rules of the True World.

If the world will's attacks were useless, then under normal circumstances, his shouldn't be effective either.

The gentle, mature-woman voice immediately said:

"You can."

"Your origin is very special; you can touch them."

"My origin?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

The next second, he realized.

That's right.

The Extraterrestrial Demon origin.

This thing belongs neither to the True World nor to the Void World.

It can directly take root in the void and forcibly extract energy from it.

Simply put, it doesn't play by the rules.

It can even fleece the void, which has nothing.

It's not just overpowered; it's at the level where game developers would want to delete the account overnight upon seeing it.

Since it can take root in the void, it might actually be effective against this kind of Void-Space Creature.

Lin Mo raised his hand.

A wisp of black demonic energy reached out and instantly gripped the body of one of the world-devouring worms.

That world-devouring worm writhed frantically, its ring of sharp teeth biting at the black mist, but it was like biting into a deeper quagmire; the more it struggled, the deeper it sank.

Lin Mo smiled.

"Immune to True World damage, huh?"

"What a coincidence."

"I actually don't count as being from here."

Boom!

The moment his voice fell, the two-billion-meter Inner World inside Lin Mo roared into operation.

The phantom of the world tree rose from the ground behind him, its branches propping open the void, and its roots plunging into the endless depths of darkness.

The pure, extreme black demonic energy, like a bursting tsunami, instantly swept across the sky.

The Extraterrestrial Demon origin!

Void-Space World-Devouring Worms survive by devouring the True World.

But the Extraterrestrial Demon is even more unreasonable.

It can even plunder the void.

It doesn't follow a single rule.

The black mist filling the sky transformed into hundreds of thousands of black tentacles, precisely piercing into the body of every world-devouring worm.

Lin Mo immediately felt an extremely wondrous sensation.

It was like eating.

And it was like rushing into a buffet after being hungry for a long time.

The sea of insects instantly boiled.

Those world-devouring worms' immune traits, which they prided themselves on, failed directly in the face of the Extraterrestrial Demon origin, which was of the same origin but higher on the food chain.

A shrill, silent wail vibrated frantically in the void.

The black tentacles gave a violent tug.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Thousands of world-devouring worms exploded on the spot, turning into clusters of pure silver-gray energy.

These energies were swept up by the black mist and poured frantically into Lin Mo's body along the Extraterrestrial Demon origin.

On his retina, a pale gold data waterfall instantly scrolled across the screen.

[Absorbing void energy!]

[Extraterrestrial Demon origin strengthened!]

[Inner World origin pool expanded!]

[Capacity for Law Avatar increased!]

Lin Mo's eyes brightened slightly.

Here it comes.

This feeling was too familiar.

Deep within the Inner World, the roots of the world tree grew frantically; the few roots that had originally reached into the void, as if flooded by an entire ocean, instantly thickened several times over.

Root by root, the black tentacles pierced through the world barrier, extending into the deeper depths.

The two-billion-meter Inner World began to vibrate slightly.

The sky was pushed higher. The earth expanded outward.

The chaotic mist was forcibly pushed open by the roots of the world tree.

And the most intuitive change was the number of Law Avatars Lin Mo could summon.

After resolving the Tali Tribe, he could summon at most nine Law Avatars.

Now, only a few seconds had passed.

This number had already started to skyrocket.

Ten. Fifteen. Twenty.

Lin Mo watched the panel, unable to keep the corners of his mouth from curling up.

"Mom."

He looked up at the sea of insects covered by black mist, his tone as serious as if he were asking if there was any extra food for dinner.

"How many more of these bugs are there?"

The world will was silent for a moment.

If it hadn't felt wrong... Lin Mo seemed to be eating.

He—was actually eating these things that it couldn't deal with itself.

Lin Mo didn't wait for an answer.

He raised his hand, and the black tentacles surged again, plunging directly toward the swarm of insects further away.

Boom!

The entire sky was dyed into deep night by the black demonic energy.

Swaths of world-devouring worms exploded.

The silver-gray energy rolled back into Lin Mo's body like a torrential rain.

Below, Alliance Leader Jiang You watched this scene blankly, forgetting even to cover the wound on his chest.

Shen Yuntang gripped her spear, her face covered in blood and grime, but she couldn't say a single word.

Hundreds of thousands of elite alliance members looked up.

They had fought tooth and nail for three months and couldn't even injure a single world-devouring worm.

But now, that world-destroying insect tide, which even the world will was helpless against, was being eaten by Lin Mo as a meal.

Alliance Leader Jiang You's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice dry.

"The laws we have spent our entire lives cultivating..."

"In front of him, could it be that we only attended kindergarten?"

No one answered him.

Because everyone was looking at the sky.

Looking at that figure standing in the center of the black mist, devouring the world-destroying insect tide in reverse.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, feeling the pleasure of his origin growing rapidly within him.

Awesome.

So awesome.

Who could have imagined.

That his mother-in-law's natural enemy would happen to be the food of the Extraterrestrial Demon.

He had originally thought he was here to save the day.

Now that he saw it.

This wasn't saving the day?

He was here for dinner.
