Chapter 68 Awakening
Chapter 68 Awakening
The surrounding space was dyed a golden-red color.
Upon entering, Xu Yang discovered that the golden-red light seemed to have formed a strange domain.
The outside cannot see the inside, and the inside cannot see the outside.
The entire area is separated from the outside world, resembling a giant octagonal cage.
At its center, a black, tattered suit of armor hangs suspended in mid-air.
At this point, it was almost entirely composed of fragments, with magma-like substances flowing between them.
The space created a regular oscillation on the surface of the armor, like a heartbeat.
And the person wearing it, a short-haired man, was standing guard beside him.
His fists were covered in flowing gold and red patterns, and each punch produced a sonic boom.
They blocked the gray-white giant from approaching the armor.
Xu Yang looked at it carefully.
The man's body already had some gray cuts, on his waist, abdomen, and chest, as if something had gouged them out.
Directly opposite him, the gray-white giant still looked the same as before.
Clearly, the man was at a disadvantage.
Strangely, he was laughing, and his words were full of delight.
"You're here to stay, you piece of trash! Either kill me right now!"
"otherwise--"
A huge golden blade materialized in his hand, its surface ablaze with golden-red flames.
"You have no way out!"
At the same time, the giant suddenly charged towards the armor in the center.
The man instantly stood in front of it.
The golden-red blade slashed straight down!
The giant's body immediately blurred and quickly turned into a cloud of gray-white mist.
The next instant, countless bizarre heads emerged from the mist, their faces grotesque, and they lunged at Zuo Xuan's body.
The fog surged violently, as if trying to force it back.
The latter remained motionless, neither dodging nor evading, and charged towards the gray mist.
The next moment, a layer of hard, keratinous armor suddenly appeared on his body, and a layer of golden-red light also appeared on it.
Crack.
The gray-white head was blocked for a moment, but it chewed up the armor and then tore off pieces of flesh and blood.
Zuo Xuan remained unfazed.
The blade in his hand sliced into the mist at that moment.
Nourishes—
A violent reaction occurred between the two, with the gray mist and the golden-red light being consumed simultaneously.
However, after the golden blade and its flowing light completely disappeared, the gray-white mist only shrank slightly.
Zuo Xuan's expression hardened, and he plunged one hand into the mist, causing golden light to burst forth instantly.
The monster was pushed backward by a wave of energy, reverting to its giant form.
However, at this moment, a thin layer of golden-red light began to flow across its body.
A cold voice said.
"Get out of the way!"
Zuo Xuan remained silent, looking at the familiar energy on the monster's body, and then continued to stand beside the central battle armor.
In his hand, the liquid-like gilding on the blade slid across and then returned to its original state.
The two clashed again, with the man's injuries each time preventing the gray giant from getting close to the armor.
It was just a few rounds later.
Xu Yang realized that the man was at a complete disadvantage.
It wasn't just the injuries; the golden-red light seemed to be making it harder for the gray-white mist to dissipate.
Bang! ! !
A loud explosion erupted in the center.
The man's figure flew backward, while the giant only took a small step back.
Then, it quickly ran towards the armor.
Zuo Xuan stood in the air to the side, but this time he did not stop them.
Instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Just as the gray palm was about to touch the target, suddenly, the magma patterns between the armor plates froze for a moment.
The hand remained frozen in place.
"it's over."
Zuo Xuan's voice rang out coldly.
He looked at the giant, the sword already sheathed in his hand. "With my talent, I'll never reach the fourth rank in this lifetime."
"However, there is now a chance to keep a fourth-tier beast."
Zuo Xuan revealed a relieved smile as his battered body floated into his armor.
"I have every reason to be proud."
In mid-air, the moment his body merged into the armor, the armor suddenly disintegrated, collapsing inward to become a single point at the center of Zuo Xuan's body.
The gray-white giant stood frozen in place.
Bang! ! !
Xu Yang heard a huge explosion.
The next moment, a pitch-black hole appeared in the center of the space.
Countless substances and even rays of light transformed into distorted stripes, rapidly disappearing into the pitch-black opening.
Xu Yang was shocked—
Black hole!
What should have been a cosmic spectacle after a star disintegrated appeared before his eyes, but it was somewhat different from the pictures he had seen before his time travel.
At this moment, a figure was sitting cross-legged in the center of the darkness.
Zuo Xuan.
At this moment, his body shriveled up, his skin clung to his bones like tree bark, and countless golden lines emerged from his body, connecting to the black hole behind him.
Zuo Xuan looked up and stared indifferently at the giant.
There was no white in the eyes; the eye sockets were completely black.
Half of the gray-white giant's body had already been sucked into the black hole. It kept trying to transform into gray-white mist to escape, but it was sucked into the black hole again.
Repeatedly.
It was as if it had sunk into a black swamp.
Xu Yang looked around.
The golden-red light barrier had now disappeared.
The planet below is finally visible, and its surface structure is slowly disintegrating.
From within the giant canyon, a black serpent, covered in wounds, suddenly leaped out and hastily fled towards the outer reaches of the planet.
"Can you jump off, you worm?"
A hoarse voice slowly rang out.
At the center of the black hole, Zuo Xuan raised a finger and pointed it at Gu Ling.
In an instant, a tremendous gravitational force covered the latter's body.
A twisted arc plunged into the black hole.
Unlike the gray giant, the black hole is merely a quagmire that confines its movement.
As for Gu Ling, the black hole transformed into a gigantic maw, its flesh and scales gradually crumbling apart.
Xu Yang knew that the journey was coming to an end.
The dying ancient spirit let out a defiant roar, while the gray-white giant struggled incessantly within the black vortex.
The man sat alone in the center of the darkness, his head slightly lowered.
"Your bodies will be carried into the laboratory, and your power will be restored within the human body."
"And I—" her voice rose, "I will have a grand finale."
"This life has not been in vain."
The head of that body drooped.
He stopped speaking, as if he were dead, yet also as if he still had a breath left.
Only a pair of pitch-black eyes remained fixed in the void.
Countless golden and red threads pierced into the black hole from behind him, and his desiccated body remained silent.
Xu Yang looked at the struggling Gu Ling.
It has no mystery, no power; it is just a beast, no different from countless other beasts.
It just died a more gruesome death.
The body disintegrated in the struggle, and the black crystal-like bones were crushed bit by bit.
The next moment, it let out its final roar.
The head was easily crushed...
Xu Yang opened his eyes.
Above was a white ceiling, and below was a soft bed.
From a slight angle, a gust of wind lifted the curtains, letting sunlight stream in and fall on my face—
Warm, gentle, and peaceful.
It felt like a lifetime ago; the dark red, sinister world was gone forever.
Xu Yang couldn't help but think of the man at the center of the black hole.
He must be happy that it ended in such a grand way.
He got up and holstered his gun.
I drank my first glass of warm water of the morning from the water dispenser.
After washing up, he put on his backpack and went downstairs to have breakfast.
I randomly found a seat by the window and sat down. A little while later, the bunny-eared girl brought me a plate of delicious eyeball breakfast.
As Xu Yang ate, he thoughtfully touched the gun at his waist.
