119: Chapter 119: Karmic Fire Burns the Heavens and Smashes the Dimensions, a One-Sided Massacre!
Five towering golden light gates rose from the Wasteland of Plane 093.
Before the light gates had even fully formed, the air in the entire plane stagnated.
Thick, fleshy clouds rolled in the sky.
Hundreds of millions of dark red compound eyes lit up in every corner of the Wasteland, locking onto the figure in the center of the light gates.
Lin Yuan.
The alien who had snatched the Royal Larva five days ago and left a scene of devastation in his wake.
In the deepest part of the plane, the plane shook.
The Zerg Mother had awakened.
No probing, no hesitation.
The Zerg Mother's will descended into the Sea of Consciousness of every Zerg.
"Kill."
At any cost, leave no survivors.
The sea of Zerg covering the mountains and plains moved.
The ground collapsed, and flying Zerg guards blotted out the sky.
Blue light shone on the bodies of all Zerg, their Void Realm glands operating at overload.
A suicide charge.
They intended to use all their Void Realm energy to erase this space, along with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan looked at the overwhelming red light and raised his right hand.
"Go."
A black frenzy surged out from within the light gates.
42,000 Zerg Sovereigns, crowned with bone crests and covered in Royal Larva markings, stepped onto Plane 093.
The pressure of their rank spread out with a boom.
10,000 core Zerg guards, perfectly inheriting the characteristics of the [Zerg Sovereign], had ghostly lights shining on their bone crests.
Invisible mental ripples swept out radially, centered on them.
This ripple ignored conventional spatial barriers and crashed into the mental network of Plane 093.
Tampering, overriding, taking over.
The red light in the compound eyes of the millions of low-level Zerg rushing at the front dimmed and flickered.
Their momentum stopped abruptly, their limbs plowing deep trenches into the ground.
These millions of Zerg turned their heads one after another, their limbs hacking at the companions behind them.
Biting, cutting, spraying acid.
The impenetrable charge formation quickly disintegrated from within.
Behind the Zerg sea, dozens of massive Diamond-rank Zerg generals let out angry hisses.
They tried to regain control.
But the mental commands they transmitted were like stones dropped into the ocean.
Even their own Sea of Consciousness experienced a trace of confusion.
That foreign mental fluctuation was trying to twist their cognition.
Lin Yuan observed the Zerg generals' reactions and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"It can only cause brief interference, not complete tampering."
Lin Yuan made his judgment.
But it was enough.
The greatest threat of Zerg sea tactics lies in numbers.
Now, that advantage belonged to him.
Once these cannon fodder were cleared, the remaining Diamond-rank Zerg generals would just be larger targets.
"Scatter." Lin Yuan issued his divine decree.
More than 40,000 Dominators dispersed quickly.
They divided into 4,000 squads, charging toward every direction of the plane.
They were the core of the power grab and the primary targets for the enemy's high-level combatants.
Lin Yuan didn't need to say more.
Inside the light gates, the true combat units were deployed.
The sky darkened.
300,000 Black Gold Blade-Feather Demon Vultures and 400,000 Infrasonic Bone-Blade Bats rushed out of the light gates, circling high in the sky.
The flying creatures did not join the battle actively.
Relying on their high mobility, they acted as transports and sentries.
Once they discovered enemy Diamond-rank Zerg generals approaching the Dominators, they would deploy elite forces.
On the ground, elite branches of the Wasteland Zerg launched their charge.
On the left flank, Nether Uranium Heavy Armored Beetles took heavy steps.
Their eight-meter-tall, rough bodies connected into a purple-black wall.
The corrosive acid sprayed by the Abyss Armor Zerg landed on them, only producing a few wisps of white smoke.
The heavy armored beetles' resistance to gravity fields allowed them to walk on the muddy Wasteland as if it were flat ground, crushing all obstacles in their path.
On the right flank, Corrosive Poison Burst Beasts dragged trails of venom across the ground.
When encountering dense enemy formations, they smashed into them without hesitation.
Their abdomens burst, and high-pressure toxic plasma splattered everywhere.
This venom, which fused the genes of the Deep Sea Naga and swamp monsters, could even corrode spatial barriers.
The enemy Zerg's carapaces melted upon contact, turning into pools of foul-smelling pus.
The Mad Scythe Shadow Lurker Zerg turned into streaks of black lightning.
Their bodies, covered in shadow membranes, merged into the surrounding shadows.
Every time they appeared, their bone twin blades would inevitably sever the enemy Zerg's nervous system.
In the rear, Psionic Plasma Zerg raised their tails high.
Blue and white electric light crackled in the air.
Hundreds of thousands of high-energy plasma spheres tore through the sky, falling into the densest areas of the enemy swarm.
Lightning storms and the power of light exploded.
Large swaths of Zerg were vaporized by the high temperature of the plasma.
Eastern Wasteland.
Three Diamond-rank Zerg generals broke through the outer perimeter and lunged straight at the Dominators hidden in the rear.
These three Zerg generals were over fifteen meters long, with dark purple Void Realm Laws flowing on their carapaces.
Each swing of their limbs triggered small-scale spatial collapses.
Just as they were about to approach their target, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose.
The moisture in the air evaporated rapidly, and large areas of dark purple fleshy mucous membranes melted.
500 Calamity Fire Spirits, with Karma Fire bone rings on their backs, stood in front of them.
The Fire Spirits had no facial features, and a deep blue light flickered within their pitch-black flame bodies.
No roaring, no nonsense.
The 500 Fire Spirits raised their hands simultaneously.
The bone rings on their backs erupted with sky-piercing gray-white Karma Fire.
Fused within the Karma Fire was [Extremely Heavy Water].
High temperature and high pressure produced extreme physical reactions.
Boiling water and toxic mist shrouded the area for several miles.
The three Diamond-rank Zerg generals let out painful hisses.
The toxic mist ignored their physical defenses, drilling into their bodies through respiratory organs and gaps in their carapaces.
The high pressure of the heavy water detonated inside them, and the Karma Fire burned their vitality.
One Zerg general went berserk.
The Void Realm glands in its body overloaded, attempting to shake off the toxic mist with a large-scale Void Realm shockwave.
A dark purple shockwave swept out.
But the Fire Spirits did not dodge.
After absorbing the Divine-Grade negative trait, they were essentially aggregates of calamity.
When the Void Realm shockwave touched the Karma Fire, it was actually ignited.
Energy is also a form of matter.
The Karma Fire used the Void Realm Law as fuel, and the fire flared up again.
The pitch-black flames flowed backward along the shockwave, eventually swallowing the Zerg general.
The fifteen-meter-tall body rolled crazily in the flames, its carapace melting and flesh turning to ash.
In less than ten seconds, only a charred skeleton remained and collapsed.
The other two Zerg generals saw this and turned to flee.
The Fire Spirits flashed, turning into streaks of fire and chasing after them.
Western hilly area.
The advance of the Violent Demon Race was even simpler and more brutal.
500,000 Tyrant Demons dispersed, each one like a bulldozer.
A Diamond-rank burrowing worm over twenty meters long burst out from the ground.
It opened its giant mouth full of sharp teeth, biting toward a Platinum Peak Titan Violent Demon.
This Tyrant Demon did not dodge or avoid.
A layer of deep blue [Extremely Heavy Water] rock armor appeared on its body surface.
Crack!
The burrowing worm's sharp teeth bit onto the rock armor and snapped a dozen off.
The terrifying defensive power brought by the compression of heavy water left it with nowhere to bite.
The Tyrant Demon grinned, revealing a cruel smile. The sonic resonance sac on its neck bulged.
[Soul Infrasound] erupted.
The ultra-high-frequency sound waves pierced through physical defenses, striking directly at the burrowing worm's Soul Origin.
The burrowing worm's movements stiffened, and the light in its compound eyes dissipated.
It was stunned.
The Tyrant Demon raised its arms, [Extreme Gravity Field] fully activated.
Gravity within a hundred meters increased a hundredfold.
The burrowing worm was pressed firmly to the ground, unable to move.
The Tyrant Demon leaped high, its fists smashing down like meteorites.
Boom!
One punch exploded its head.
Green fluid mixed with brain tissue splattered everywhere.
The Tyrant Demon shook the filth off its hands; the Void Realm shock from the bug's death had almost no effect on it.
It turned its head to look east.
There, flames were soaring into the sky, and a few Fire Spirits were burning a Diamond-rank Zerg general into ash.
The Tyrant Demon twitched the corner of its mouth.
These fire-playing guys had been a bit too strong recently.
If this continued, the Violent Demon Race's top spot in the Divine Realm might not be secure.
Although Boss Tyrant was strong, he couldn't handle this collective Fusion of Fire Spirits.
"Roar!" (Whatever, kill more.)
The Tyrant Demon shook the distracting thoughts out of its head.
Brain work was left to the Creator.
It was only responsible for tearing everything that could move in front of it to shreds.
Its figure flickered, activating [Shadow Lurker Etherealization], merging into the shadow beneath its feet, and sneaking toward the next prey.
In just half an hour.
The ecology of Plane 093 suffered a devastating blow.
The mental network built by over 40,000 Dominators firmly controlled more than 60% of the low-level Zerg.
These 60% of Zerg turned against their own, slaughtering their remaining kin.
And at the high-end combat level.
The cross-rank kills by Fire Spirits and Tyrant Demons caused the number of enemy Diamond-rank Zerg generals to plummet.
Various powers of Law raged across the Wasteland.
Nearly half of the plane had been ignited by Karma Fire, leaving it scarred and devastated.
Lin Yuan had remained standing in the same spot, not moving a single step.
The light gate behind him had already closed.
Around him stood 500 core Fire Spirits with the largest bodies and the deepest auras.
And the Tyrant, whose body was like a mountain of flowing gold.
The Tyrant's dark gold vertical pupils stared into the depths of the plane.
A low growl emitted from its throat; it felt a threat.
Lin Yuan kept them back and did not send them out.
Firstly, to guard against other "sneaky bastards" who might exist in Starry Sky University.
At a time like this, who knew if someone was holding a concealment talisman, hiding in the dark, preparing to steal kills.
Secondly, to guard against the true owner of this plane.
The Zerg Mother.
As the battle progressed to this point, this old monster that ruled the entire plane had not truly appeared.
It just kept driving its subordinate Zerg generals and the Zerg sea to die.
"Very patient." Lin Yuan looked at the distant flames, his eyes cold.
The intelligence of this Zerg Mother was clearly far superior to those Zerg that acted only on instinct.
It was observing, waiting for an opportunity.
But Lin Yuan was not in a hurry.
The Fire Spirits' Karma Fire would not go out; it would only burn more vigorously.
Zerg corpses, dissipated energy, all were fuel.
As long as the Zerg Mother continued to hide, this Plane 093 would eventually be burned into a spark.
By then, it wouldn't even have the capital for a comeback.
Time passed second by second.
The blood-red in the sky grew thicker; the plane itself was wailing.
Finally.
The main nest in the deepest part of the plane let out a hiss that shattered the clouds.
In this hiss, there was no more probing, only endless determination.
The earth trembled violently.
A massive crack, a thousand meters deep, spread from the main nest to less than a hundred meters in front of Lin Yuan.
Dark purple Void Realm Laws, like materialized plasma, gushed out from the crack.
The Zerg Mother could no longer hold back.
A forelimb over ten meters long rested on the edge of the crack.
The terrifying power of the world locked onto Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn't care at all, the phantom of divine fire dancing in the depths of his eyes.
"Finally willing to come out."
