Chapter 1088
Styx Space
"really,
We were right.
The special effects of the Styx Seal
It means temporarily bringing everything within a certain range into a special space!
Zhao Jiulin, the strongest man in Yun Song Kingdom, was wielding nearly three hundred golden bone whips, struggling to resist the attacks of eight pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen. His expression turned solemn as he looked around at the surrounding space.
This special space where they were pulled in.
It was impossible to tell how big it was, because the area above and in all directions was pitch black, a pure and absolute darkness with almost no light. Even the golden bone whips of Zhao Jiuli, the strongest man in Yun Song Kingdom, shone down on it without producing any reflection, as if the area above and in all directions was a dark void!
Only the bottom,
It is a murky, dark river.
The river was surging at an extremely high speed, and this high speed caused a large amount of gray mist to rise from the river, which quickly spread to the location of Zhao Jiulin, the strongest person in Yun Song Kingdom, and Granny Jin.
"Something's wrong with this fog!"
Zhao Jiulin, the strongest expert in Yun Song Kingdom, suddenly changed his expression. "I can feel that the speed of the source energy circulation within my body is decreasing rapidly. This decrease is almost four or five times slower than before. The source energy within my body seems to be becoming extremely inactive and difficult to mobilize! Damn it, under these circumstances..."
Before Zhao Jiulin could finish speaking, his sturdy ring-shaped defense, formed by nearly three hundred golden bone whips, was almost destroyed by the combined and fierce attack of eight pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Jiulin had to shrink the ring-shaped defensive range formed by nearly three hundred golden bone whips, increasing the density between the golden bone whips and reducing the area under attack in order to resist the combined fierce attack of the eight pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen!
unfortunately,
Even though Zhao Jiulin, the strongest expert in the Yun Song Kingdom, rapidly reduced his defensive range,
After the speed of energy circulation in his body was greatly reduced, his defensive ability was also reduced by nearly four or five times, to only about one-fourth or one-fifth of the original. How could he maintain his current defense?
In a dozen seconds,
Originally, nearly three hundred golden bone whips surrounded Zhao Jiulin, the strongest man in the Yun Song Kingdom.
It was directly blasted into more than a dozen deformed shapes, and after a period of twisting, it shattered into pure source energy, which then contracted into Zhao Jiulin's body!
With the combined fierce attack of eight pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen, the golden bone whips that were originally incredibly sturdy and capable of withstanding any attack from an early-stage fourth-tier super strongman began to twist and dissipate continuously. The originally tight ring defense also gradually began to leak and break down!
Soon, some huge alloy spears, driven by those pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen, pierced the gaps in the golden bone whip's ring-shaped defense, attacking Zhao Jiulin, the strongest in Yun Song Kingdom, and Granny Jin.
Granny Jin, who had been standing idly by until now, had no choice but to activate the extremely inactive source energy within her body to dodge and resist those sharp and hard alloy spears!
While dodging, Granny Jin, the strongest person in Yunyue Kingdom, said in a deep voice: "The special space of this Styx Seal produces mist that greatly reduces our source energy circulation and combat ability. The strangest thing is that even if we hold our breath, we still cannot avoid the influence of this strange mist. Moreover, no matter how I examine my body, I cannot find the existence of those strange mists that have invaded my body and affected my source energy!"
The problem is that the eight pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen of the Yunqin Alliance seem to be completely unaffected by this strange fog. Their attack strength, attack speed, and attack frequency have not decreased in the slightest!
It seems the upcoming battle is going to be a tough one!
Zhao Jiulin, the strongest man in Yun Song Kingdom, nodded slightly with a solemn expression, struggling to maintain the remaining nearly two hundred golden bone whips, and doing his best to resist the fierce attack that he could no longer completely resist!
In the distance, in the opposite sky, above the River Styx,
Yi Feng, the third strongest fourth-tier expert of the Yunqin Alliance, dressed in white and with a handsome face, sneered as he looked at the ring defense that was struggling to resist but was now in complete disarray.
"The Styx Seal is a top-grade source artifact created by the Central Star God Clan, who discovered a special fluid-like celestial body in the Styx Galaxy and used the most advanced refining technology to seal it within the Styx space. Apart from the Styx Seal in my hand, there are only twelve other Styx Seals of the same kind in the entire universe. Apart from them, even the supreme Central Star God Clan, or any other race in the endless starry river, do not possess any similar powerful source artifacts!"
The Styx Mist, though seemingly just mist, is actually a manifestation of the countless spatial folds and fluctuations generated by the Styx River interacting with each other. Unless you can escape this space, no matter how strong, tight, powerful, or fast your defenses are, you will not be able to resist these countless omnipresent spatial folds and fluctuations that are integrated with your body!
Of course, this folding and fluctuation of the Styx space is completely controlled by the Styx Seal in my hand. It will only target the hostile target that my source energy is directed at. When the source energy in your body is running, it will be stretched by a distance of five times due to the extremely subtle spatial folding, resulting in a five-fold delay. This will directly reduce the strength of the two of you by five times, which is equivalent to making you almost fall to the fifth-order life level!
Among those of the same rank,
Those who obtain the Styx Seal will be invincible!
Zhao Jiulin, Old Lady Jin
"You two are merely fourth-tier experts, yet you have been able to witness this extremely rare auxiliary source artifact firsthand and personally experience its powerful effects. This is the greatest honor of your lives!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiulin, the strongest expert in Yun Song Kingdom, and Granny Jin both frowned deeply.
The eight pseudo-fourth-tier super strongmen and the eight enormous flying source beasts, under the reprimand of Ding Da, a fourth-tier dragon-elephant super strongman, increased their attack frequency even further.
In a blink of an eye,
The golden bone whips surrounding Zhao Jiulin, the strongest man in Yunsong Kingdom, have dwindled to just over 150, and their range has been compressed to within 100 meters of the two of them!
Even at this position and distance, the golden bone whips, gleaming with golden light, were still trembling under the relentless and fierce attacks. One after another, the golden bone whips twisted and gradually dissipated. It was estimated that in at most another thirty or forty seconds, the golden bone whips surrounding Zhao Jiulin and Granny Jin would all be twisted and dissipated, no longer able to form an effective ring defense!
The key point is that those attacks were from fourth-tier super-strong individuals and fourth-tier life forms. Their attacks carried a large amount of pure source energy. When the golden bone whips dissipated and transformed into pure source energy, they would inevitably be contaminated with the pure source energy of these adversaries. Once they were returned to Zhao Jiulin's body, they could not be dispelled or removed in a short period of time. In other words, once all of Zhao Jiulin's golden bone whips were twisted and dissipated by the attacks, he would be unable to condense any more golden bone whips in a short period of time. He would not even be able to continue activating his special genetic ability to condense golden bone whips. He would only be able to rely on his own physique as a fourth-tier super-strong individual with the Dragon-Elephant gene and Lin Xuankong's invisible source weapon armor to withstand the siege of sixteen fourth-tier life forms!
At that point, even if Zhao Jiulin, the strongest in Yun Song Kingdom, could avoid injury for a short time thanks to his invisible source weapon armor, the siege of sixteen fourth-tier life forms, even if it only wears him down little by little, would eventually annihilate all of Zhao Jiulin's source energy, causing him to be completely defeated and captured!
Originally, when in the outer space,
Relying on the offensive source weapon crafted by Lin Xuankong,
Zhao Jiulin, who could barely withstand the combined attack of eight pseudo-fourth-tier super powerhouses and eight flying source beasts, was now at a complete disadvantage, and he couldn't even maintain this disadvantage!
Styx Seal
Styx Space
Just as Yi Feng, the third strongest of the fourth tier of the Yunqin Alliance, said, it is indeed a truly powerful and special auxiliary source artifact. Its effects are strange and powerful. Although it does not directly amplify the holder's personal combat ability and combat range like the Universal Jade, it can directly suppress all hostile targets pulled into the Styx space. It is equivalent to one Styx Seal being worth several Universal Jades!
Even though Zhao Jiulin, the strongest person in Yun Song Kingdom, had an offensive source weapon given to him by Lin Xuankong, that offensive source weapon only increased his combat ability by about three times. Compared to the five times suppression of personal strength by the Styx Space, it was really not enough!
It is likely that only an offensive source weapon crafted by Lin Xuankong, which can amplify the combat ability of its wielder by five times, could allow the Fire Seed Organization's powerful members who enter this Styx space to maintain their normal offensive capabilities!
The problem is, even if Lin Xuankong's offensive source artifacts could one day be amplified fivefold, a single source artifact could only amplify the power of one gene-level expert. The Styx Seal source artifact that Yi Feng possesses is indeed more magical and powerful than a powerful offensive source artifact like the Universal Jade!
Of course, if Lin Xuankong could refine a large number of offensive source weapons with the support of countless gene experts in the Fire Seed Organization, then the gene experts of the Fire Seed Organization would not be helpless against this Styx Seal.
Looking at Zhao Jiulin's golden bone whip, the strongest warrior in the Yun Song Kingdom, more than half of it had already dissipated.
Yi Feng, the third strongest fourth-tier expert of the Yunqin Alliance, sneered again, shifting his gaze from Zhao Jiulin, the strongest expert in the Yun Song Kingdom, to Granny Jin.
"Old Lady Jin, you became famous a few years earlier than Zhao Jiulin. Your special genetic ability to amplify explosives also seems to surpass Zhao Jiulin, the so-called number one expert in Yun Song Kingdom, in terms of offensive capabilities!"
"Come on, it's your turn to make a move, or your old partner in the Fireseed organization won't be able to hold on any longer!"
Upon hearing this, the white-haired Granny Jin's expression turned slightly cold. She then snorted and began to swing her hands rapidly.
As Granny Jin nimbly swung her hands, one after another, round alloy objects swiftly passed through the inner circle of the golden bone whip and crashed into the alloy spears outside.
These round alloy objects, swung by Granny Jin, a mid-stage fourth-tier super-strong expert, were much slower than the alloy spears propelled by the pseudo-fourth-tier super-strong experts. However, due to their sheer number, they directly met the incoming wave of alloy spears. Normally, Granny Jin, being a true mid-stage fourth-tier super-strong expert, should have propelled the explosives at a speed one or two times faster than the alloy spears and blade energy propelled by the eight pseudo-fourth-tier super-strong experts around her, and also much faster than the wind blades propelled by the eight enormous flying source beasts!
but,
The spatial distortions and fluctuations generated by this enormous River Styx reduced the speed of the explosives launched by Granny Jin, the strongest woman in Yunyue Kingdom, by more than five times!
This significant reduction in speed made the explosives of Yun Yueguo, a mid-stage fourth-tier super powerhouse, appear to be much, much slower than the attack objects of a pseudo-fourth-tier super powerhouse!
However, the sheer number of circular explosives ultimately compensated for some of their slow flight speed!
When those circular explosives
The moment it collided with those incoming alloy spears, circular wind blades, and crescent-shaped blade auras,
All the seemingly slow-moving circular explosives suddenly exploded at the same time!
If it were an ordinary gunpowder explosive or a common high-explosive alloy grenade, even a grenade made of fifth-order alloy with high explosive performance, the explosive effect would absolutely not be comparable to the power of the alloy spear, circular wind blade and crescent blade aura activated by a fourth-order super strongman!
However, Granny Jin, the strongest person in Yunyue Kingdom, has the same special genetic ability as the captain who fought against Yi Xue, the second strongest person in the fifth rank of Yunqin Alliance—that can increase the explosive power of explosives many times over!
Back then, the captain of the third team, who was carrying out a special mission, was able to use explosives to injure the fifth-level experts of the Yunqin Alliance who were at the same level of life. Not to mention, these explosives were detonated by Granny Jin, a super strong expert at the mid-fourth level!
Even though the speed of the source energy circulation in Granny Jin's body was reduced by five times, which greatly reduced the flight speed of those circular explosives!
But the problem is,
The explosive power and speed of the explosives thrown out by Granny Jin, the strongest person in Yunyue Kingdom, were not reduced by five times!
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"
When hundreds of incredibly powerful explosions erupted simultaneously,
The alloy spears, circular wind blades, and crescent-shaped blade energy that shot towards them were all shattered into dozens of pieces in less than a thousandth of a second!
Because the power generated by the simultaneous explosion of those circular explosives, amplified many times over, was truly terrifying, the large number of alloy spears, circular wind blades, and crescent-shaped blade energy were actually blasted back towards their original positions, and the speed of their retreat was much faster than before!
