432: Chapter 432 Giant Flesh Spider

The Old Witch observed for a moment; the remaining magic crystal ore could still be used.

There was not much time to hesitate. The Old Witch glanced at Nie Ning not far away, and Nie Ning nodded slightly toward her.

As the ore vein formation was activated, a continuous stream of energy was set in motion and then surged toward the star ring in the air.

Under the reinforcement of this energy, the star ring was activated. A dazzling white light shone forth, and the emitted radiance illuminated the entire camp once again.

The shadows within the barrier seemed to be uncomfortable, and their reaction speed was significantly slower than before.

When the Transcendent killed a shadow, it did not resurrect on the spot as it had before.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly increased the intensity of their attacks, preparing to eliminate all the shadows at once.

However, this move also alerted the Jerky Bear Head.

Corruptors had a strong sensing ability for various types of energy.

Furthermore, the Jerky Bear Head could absorb energy. This characteristic caused the Jerky Bear Head to be attracted, and it actually gave up attacking the Black-robed Corruptors, instead drifting slowly toward the star ring itself.

As the operator of the star ring, the Old Witch naturally sensed the presence of the Jerky Bear Head.

However, the star ring's energy was still accumulating, and attacking now would deal even less damage than a few Tier 7 Transcendent.

At this moment, the surviving Tier 7 Transcendent were already scared out of their wits and dared not rashly attack the attracted Jerky Bear Head.

If it happened again, they would find it very difficult to survive a second round.

Just then, a massive blood-red figure rushed out from the mist, propping itself up on the ground with thick flesh tentacles, and its huge body lunged toward the Jerky Bear Head with great force.

A surging Black Tide poured out, but it was clearly unable to block the Human-Faced Balloon, which was a hundred meters in size.

The Flesh Spider withstood the corrosion of the Black Tide, broke through its obstruction, and pressed down onto the Jerky Bear Head like a great mountain.

Power of Corruption against Power of Corruption; even though the Jerky Bear Head was a purely spiritual creature, the high-density energy still allowed the Flesh Spider to attack it.

The Jerky Bear Head struggled violently, trying to shake off the Flesh Spider.

However, a large number of flesh tentacles extended from the Flesh Spider, firmly binding the Jerky Bear Head.

Under the super-heavy weight, the body of the Jerky Bear Head slowly fell from the air.

At this moment, the withered lower body of the Jerky Bear Head moved, and the Blade of Corrosion in its hand slashed across the Flesh Spider's flesh tentacles.

In just an instant, a rusted iron color began to spread across the flesh.

Nie Ning's reaction was swift; he directly severed the attacked flesh tentacles.

The pure soul-corroding effect was not as potent against Corrupted Creatures as it was against living organisms, but it still caused Nie Ning, who was far away in the barrier, to suffer greatly.

Nie Ning gritted his teeth and continued to control the Jerky Bear Head, not giving it a chance to approach the star ring.

However, the power of the Jerky Bear Head was clearly not limited to this, and naturally, it would not be bound so easily.

The Black Tide enveloped both sides, constantly corroding the flesh of the Flesh Spider.

But for the current Flesh Spider, its formidable recovery ability was one of its strongest assets.

The corroded flesh constantly regenerated; the Black Tide alone was simply unable to deal with the Flesh Spider.

As more and more flesh tentacles broke through the Black Tide, the shadows on the ground moved. A large number of shadow arms climbed onto the Flesh Spider, trying to pull it down.

Regarding this, Nie Ning's method was simple and straightforward.

There was only one thing he needed to do now, and that was to stall for time!

Because the Human-Faced Balloon and the Jerky Bear Head were ultimately not on the same level, and the growth rate of the Jerky Bear Head was clearly higher.

Moreover, the Jerky Bear Head had too many abilities, whereas the Flesh Spider only had super-speed regeneration.

Although it wasn't weak, in comparison, it still lacked something.

Under the pulling of the shadow arms, the Flesh Spider showed signs of being forcibly torn away.

But at this moment, the Flesh Spider transformed into thick pythons, avoiding the shadow arms while firmly binding itself to the Jerky Bear Head.

The Jerky Bear Head wanted to use shadows to escape, but the Flesh Spider on its body stuck to it like a shadow, making it impossible to break free.

Seeing that the struggle was fruitless, the Jerky Bear Head instinctively opened its bloodthirsty maw.

The 'black hole' in its mouth slowly rotated, and a terrifying suction force instantly tore apart many of the flesh tentacles.

Furthermore, the flesh torn apart by the 'black hole' disappeared completely, and along with it, the size and strength of the Flesh Spider changed.

Because the source of the Flesh Spider's power was flesh.

When its own flesh was stripped away, its own strength and recovery ability would also decrease accordingly.

Although the level of the Human-Faced Balloon would not change, it needed to reacquire enough flesh to fully exert itself.

At most, the corrosiveness of the gray mist remained, which could cause significant damage to beings below the level of a low-tier Transcendent.

Seeing this, Nie Ning knew that this could not continue.

The Jerky Bear Head's abilities were all too heaven-defying; this energy absorption skill had now become a bug, and there were almost no means to counter it.

As the Flesh Spider's strength declined, although it had not completely broken free from the binding, the Jerky Bear Head began to drift slowly toward the star ring once again.

Nie Ning, in the barrier, took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the soul evasion bead in his hand, a look of determination appearing on his face.

...

"The mist outside has thinned!"

Someone in the barrier suddenly noticed that the gray mist had thinned.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked outside the barrier.

As the gray mist thinned, the light of the star ring became even brighter.

"What's wrong with this kid? Wasn't he perfectly fine just a moment ago?"

A 7th-Rank Wizard beside the mental enhancement formation said with a grave expression.

At this moment, Nie Ning's body was turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a layer of gray mist-like gloom clinging around him.

"It seems he has been eroded by Corruption. I don't know if this kid can hold on."

The Black-Robed Person who spoke looked at the soul evasion bead in Nie Ning's hand.

The soul evasion bead emitted a faint blue light, and a crack began to spread along the surface of the bead.

Once the soul evasion bead shattered, the outcome for Nie Ning could be imagined; relying only on Nie Ning's weak soul, it would be impossible to block such a massive Power of Corruption.

However, most high-tier Transcendent felt nothing.

To sacrifice a lowly Tier 4 to save them—this was Nie Ning's honor!

At this time, the Black-Robed Persons who had gone out returned one after another.

But compared to when they left, the atmosphere was now even more oppressive.

Especially between the holder of the Thunder Light Sha and the other Transcendent, it was as if an invisible barrier separated them.

After all, the two sides had had an unpleasant conflict before, and the reason they hadn't fought now was simply because no one wanted to die.

Although the others saw the signs, no one cared.

They were the same; they only wanted to live, and everything else had to be pushed aside.

But at this moment, the Soul Bone King gave the Black-Robed Persons a wink. They understood and blinked in return, then immediately looked at the Old Witch who was operating the star ring.

...
