520: Chapter 520 Sudden Testing

Looking at the Yin-Yang Sect Transcendent who kept staring at him, Nie Ning dared not destroy the spatial rift at all.

Suddenly, several streams of light flashed by, and immediately after, several figures appeared near Nie Ning.

Nie Ning hurriedly bowed in greeting, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

Upon seeing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Nie Ning's face: "Yirta?"

The familiar figure was none other than Amivika's student, Yirta!

This place was absurdly far from Liuguang City; Nie Ning really hadn't expected to see Yirta here.

"You know each other?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man looked at Yirta with confusion.

"Lord Darnell, this is my former teacher's partner."

Yirta said, gritting her teeth.

"I see." Darnell nodded.

Nie Ning rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat awkward.

It was clearly Amivika who had seduced him, so why did it feel like he was the one who had cheated?

Meeting the person he least wanted to see at the worst possible time—his luck was truly something else.

At this moment, Nie Ning suddenly noticed a veiled woman standing beside Yirta.

Her eyes were blue, and she seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, yet Nie Ning felt a very strange aura coming from her.

"Have you seen enough?"

Yirta asked with a cold face.

"Let's not talk about that for now; we should hurry inside and save people."

Nie Ning hurriedly changed the subject and looked at the spatial rift above.

Since he couldn't stall for time, he might as well just go over and save the living members of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace first.

Even if the people from the Yin-Yang Sect discovered something by then, they might be a bit more lenient for the sake of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

"Miss Eva, shall we go take a look together?"

Darnell looked at the veiled woman beside him and asked with a slightly respectful tone.

Eva didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Darnell waved his sleeve, and immediately after, Nie Ning's vision blurred. When it cleared, he had already arrived in a dilapidated space.

This space was riddled with scars; the spatial barriers were covered in cracks, and one could even see the sea outside the space.

In the center, the stone pillar that originally represented the world core had turned a strange gray, emitting an ominous aura.

"Brat! You actually dare to come back!"

A voice filled with gnashing teeth and angry rebuke rang out.

Nie Ning looked in the direction of the voice. The ninth-rank Long-armed Elder had a gray complexion and was continuously injecting energy into the world core, seemingly trying to expel the Power of Corruption on it.

However, because the Power of Corruption had already penetrated deep into the core, the Long-armed Elder not only failed but was instead being eroded by the Power of Corruption in reverse.

Nie Ning didn't speak, his eyes showing a hint of apology.

This accident was far more serious than the one at Yishi Mansion.

If there was no way to restore the world core, the entire world would be dragged into the abyss.

Knowing he couldn't save the world, the ninth-rank elder gripped his large blade and charged madly toward Nie Ning.

Watching the ninth-rank elder charge over, none of the people present had any intention of making a move.

Darnell glanced to the right, looking very subtly at the veiled woman beside him, seemingly waiting for this woman named Eva to make a move.

Seeing that things were not right, Nie Ning couldn't help but step back and lean behind Yirta, naturally earning a look of disdain from her.

But Nie Ning didn't care at all.

With such a group of high-rank powerhouses standing here, was he supposed to go up and take the hit, a little fifth-rank piece of trash?

The Long-armed Elder acted like a madman, slashing his blade fiercely toward Nie Ning and the others.

Seeing this, Nie Ning's heart leaped into his throat, terrified that the blade would actually come down.

Clearly, Nie Ning's worry was unnecessary; a slightly pink, transparent barrier protected everyone inside.

The long blade landed on the shield without causing the slightest ripple, but the aftermath tore gaps into the surrounding space.

Nie Ning's perception spread rapidly, but he didn't sense who had summoned the shield.

Seeing this, the Long-armed Elder's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and he began to attack the shield frantically.

At this moment, a sphere flew out from Yirta's palm, a flash of red light passing over it, and immediately after, it swept across the Long-armed Elder.

Following that, Yirta took out a long, metallic object.

As magic power was injected into the long metal object, a holographic projection appeared before everyone's eyes.

[Detecting...]

[Detection complete.]

[Detection target: Humanoid organism, race classification unknown, power system unknown (suspected rune inscription type), energy intensity: early ninth-rank.]

[Warning: The target's Corruption infection level is rising rapidly, currently reaching 35%. Sanity is gradually being lost. The target must be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid greater losses.]

Nie Ning stretched his head forward, smelling the faint fragrance on Yirta, but his eyes were fixed on the holographic projection in front.

He had to say, this was exactly how the sci-fi world in Nie Ning's mind should be.

It was a pity he hadn't been teleported directly to Liuguang City back then; otherwise, he might have been a scientist by now.

Yirta cast a disgusted glance at Nie Ning, who was at her shoulder.

Just as she was about to speak, the metal sphere suddenly changed direction, and a beam of red light swept over Nie Ning and Yirta.

[Ding~]

[Severe Corruption infected person detected...]

[Comparing with database...]

[Name: Bronk ??? (Codename 748xxxxxxx886)]

[Rank: Peak fifth-rank (???)]

[Magic power intensity: Missing]

[Battle aura intensity: Missing]

[Re-edit: Calculated energy intensity: Mid sixth-rank (specific intensity requires precise calculation)]

[Mental strength: Early sixth-rank (weakened state)]

[Physical strength: Mid sixth-rank (specific intensity requires precise calculation)]

[bloodline fluctuation: Human, unknown exotic beast bloodline (hybrid species)]

[Corruption contamination: Severe contamination (Warning: The target's contamination level has reached the 50% critical point. Currently, the mental state is normal, but for safety's sake, it is recommended to perform humane destruction immediately.)]

[Danger level: First class (Focus observation, danger level recommended to be re-edited. Given that the target's growth rate far exceeds first-class geniuses, it is recommended to assign them to the super-class first-rank category.)]

Feeling everyone's gaze, Nie Ning only felt his scalp go numb; this data was much more accurate than last time.

"This record is inaccurate, I think..."

Nie Ning had just wanted to defend himself, but the synthesized mechanical voice appeared again at an inopportune moment.

[Proposal: Detected that the target's Corruption value exceeds the limit; there is a risk of alienation at any time. Furthermore, the target is close to the observer's position and has a tendency to hijack the observer.]

[Detected Liuguang City's highest-level creation: Artificial God · Eva, serial number ???]

[Given that the target is a Wizard · Knight · Psionicist, to prevent the target from having resurrection abilities, it is recommended to activate Artificial God · Eva to completely erase the target from both physical and mental levels.]

"Hey, hey, you're really talking nonsense! Where do I show any signs of hijacking anyone!!!"

Nie Ning, whose hand had been near Yirta, turned it, pointing at the projection and shouting excitedly.

Looking at the eye-catching "Artificial God" label, Nie Ning was almost scared to the point of wetting himself.
