221: Chapter 221 Counterattack
Ji Yebai slowly turned around.
His expression was full of vigilance.
What met his eyes was a massive creature.
At this moment, this creature was appearing and disappearing within the asteroid belt.
Its massive body was far larger than the asteroids.
Although the behemoth was flickering in and out of sight within the asteroid belt, Ji Yebai clearly felt it constantly approaching him.
Ji Yebai was on full alert.
Astral Behemoths have various abilities, and their strengths vary greatly; the weak ones can be handled at just the Early Stage of the Saint Rank, but the strong ones cannot be dealt with even by someone with the Speaker's level of strength.
Although Ji Yebai's strength had improved further, he had only moved up a small step at most, far from comparable to the Speaker's strength, so he naturally had to be careful.
Staring intently at the behemoth, Ji Yebai gradually discerned its full appearance.
This was an insect-shaped Astral Behemoth.
Its body was milky white, looking overall like a white Ice Silkworm.
However, unlike an Ice Silkworm, this behemoth was ridiculously large.
Even the asteroid belt could not completely hide its body.
Its milky-white body bulged segment by segment, emitting a faint luminescence as if it were fragile enough to break at a touch. However, Ji Yebai clearly saw its seemingly fragile body directly shatter an asteroid hundreds of meters wide.
Its body surface was extremely smooth, with layers of folds appearing like crystalline bubbles.
At the very front was a hideous, giant mouth full of fangs, and beneath its body were two dense rows of short legs.
At this moment, it was moving its short legs, swimming through the Void Realm like a Dragon, slowly approaching Ji Yebai.
Its massive eyeballs were far larger than houses, pitch black like a starless night sky.
Its body swimming through the Void Realm was drawing in vast, surging energy.
Every moment, countless amounts of Universe energy entered the behemoth's body.
Watching this, Ji Yebai's gaze fell directly onto the surface of the behemoth's skin.
On the surface of that smooth, milky-white skin, there was a layer of barely perceptible patterns.
"Astral Behemoths cannot absorb the power of Laws, but the patterns on their surface are the depiction of Laws!"
A faint luster appeared in Ji Yebai's eyes as the patterns on the behemoth's skin constantly reflected in his vision.
"It's related to space..."
After Ji Yebai collected enough patterns, he determined the behemoth's ability.
Because of this, Ji Yebai fell silent.
He understood the reason why this behemoth had appeared here.
It was likely attracted by the energy of the wormhole.
After all, a wormhole is an application of spatial energy.
Spatial ability is inherently one of the most difficult types to cultivate, and the damage caused by spatial ability also differs.
At low levels, it's spatial transfer or spatial shuttle.
At high levels, it's spatial fluctuations, spatial slashes, and so on.
The energy around Ji Yebai slowly converged, but his expression became even more vigilant.
He really didn't dare to act rashly against spatial attribute energy.
The milky-white giant insect seemed to sense the convergence of Ji Yebai's energy; its body paused slightly, but then it sped up, swimming toward Ji Yebai's position.
A moment later, the behemoth was fully exposed to Ji Yebai's sight.
"So big..."
Ji Yebai looked at the giant insect before him in shock.
With his vision, he could clearly see the size of this behemoth.
Its body length was a full ten kilometers, and even its body width reached about four thousand meters.
The Universe is like an ocean, and the behemoths are like sea fish.
The size of sea fish constantly increases.
The same is true for Astral Behemoths.
The vast and boundless Void Realm is infinite, so the fish evolving and swimming within it naturally evolve toward increasing in size.
According to records in the Star Net, the largest Astral Behemoth currently recorded by the Cosmic Union is a full light-year in size.
Compared to one light-year, the ten-kilometer-sized behemoth before him was somewhat insignificant.
But for Ji Yebai, the behemoth before him was still shocking.
This was the first time Ji Yebai had witnessed the existence of an Astral Behemoth with his own eyes, and it was the largest creature he had ever seen.
As the behemoth approached, Ji Yebai became increasingly aware of its power.
It was like a moving mountain, constantly drawing closer, blotting out the sky and sun.
Even the universal gravitation leaking from its body caused the surrounding asteroids to tremble and shatter.
Exceptionally surging energy constantly washed around the behemoth's body.
The behemoth's black-hole-like pupils looked toward Ji Yebai.
Two gazes, as if tangible and heavy as mountains, fell directly onto Ji Yebai.
Cold and fierce.
This gaze not only made Ji Yebai's body sink but also gave his spirit a significant shock.
This immediately made Ji Yebai's expression turn serious.
The strength of the behemoth before him was not small.
It stared at Ji Yebai for a while.
The behemoth's head began to lift, and layers of giant petal-like mouths slowly opened, with fangs blooming in ring after ring, its entire head instantly doubling in size.
Abyssal Maw.
In the next moment.
Boom!!!
The giant insect instantly charged and bit directly at Ji Yebai.
The giant mouth, over a kilometer in diameter, came straight for Ji Yebai.
A cold light flashed in Ji Yebai's eyes, his expression icy.
Although the behemoth before him was powerful, he wasn't weak either.
It remained to be seen who would emerge victorious.
Whoosh!
With a Shrinking Ground to an Inch, Ji Yebai instantly disappeared from where he stood.
Ji Yebai had added spatial power to this move; one step was enough to transfer him thousands of miles away.
Ji Yebai vanished, but the asteroid he had just been standing on was not so lucky.
In an instant, the entire asteroid disappeared into the Abyssal Maw.
The blood-curdling sound of chewing echoed through the Void Realm, making one's scalp tingle.
Sensing that Ji Yebai was not in its mouth, the giant insect's head aimed directly at where Ji Yebai had appeared.
The giant insect's innate talent was space, so it naturally felt the spatial energy triggered by Ji Yebai's Shrinking Ground to an Inch.
Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!
In the next moment, the giant insect spat out the asteroid fragments from its mouth.
Instantly, fragments of stone covered the area toward Ji Yebai at extreme speeds.
The asteroids blocking the path were instantly riddled with holes.
A surge of anger rose in Ji Yebai's heart.
This was the first time he had been chased and attacked like this.
He steeled his heart, and in the next moment, he instantly vanished.
Almost at the same time, Ji Yebai suddenly appeared above the behemoth's head.
"Five Elements Wrath!"
In the next moment, Ji Yebai suddenly threw a punch.
The entire Void Realm suddenly began to shake.
Infinite divine light began to emerge.
From the point of Ji Yebai's fist, giant beasts hundreds of meters in size were suddenly born between heaven and earth.
Chirp!
Roar!
The White Tiger roared, and the Vermilion Bird cried fiercely.
One Divine Beast after another roared toward the heavens, the energy around them going berserk.
Divine Beasts flew out from Ji Yebai's fist, growing as they caught the wind, instantly becoming hundreds of meters in size, roaring as they began to charge at the behemoth's head below.
Ji Yebai's expression was icy, like a god or Buddha high in the Immortal Realm, passing judgment on all living demons.
Boom!!!
The Divine Beasts directly struck the behemoth's head, and in an instant, energy erupted, turning into a tide that submerged everything.
Roar!!!
The behemoth wailed in pain.
