Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 401: Wound

The first bolt of red lightning appeared in the space, and another bolt of red lightning flew across the sky one after another, pulling out a red forest in this underground space. In the blink of an eye, all the lightning gathered into a ball of lightning in midair. The edges of the ball of light flashed with lightning, crisscrossing its teeth. The color changed from red to white, and at the core was an invisible white light.

Lightning shot past like a bullet, bringing with it a faint tail of flames that shot straight into the middle of the Empress' head. This time, the Empress did not have time to dodge and was struck straight by the Destruction Heavy Sniper. As the lightning entered his body, blood-colored ripples swam like snakes, swimming from the Empress' head to the surroundings. The Empress opened her jaws wide and let out a scream. Threads of red light pierced out like swords, illuminating the insect armor, as if magma was boiling inside the insect's body.

However, just as the self-destruct plant was about to activate, all the red light suddenly faded away, and a large amount of red tide surged towards the tail. In the next second, the Empress was like a giant firefly with a dazzling red tail. At this moment, the middle of the empress' waist suddenly snapped and split into two. The tail that had left his body exploded, forming a light beneath the ground.

The light quickly spread and ignited the flames. The fire wave swept all around, and its momentum was monstrous!

The shockwave shook Alan to the point that he could not help but pounce on the ground. As for the Empress' avatars, countless bodies were blasted apart by the intense shockwave, and a large number of them died in the blink of an eye. After the shock wave dissipated, Alan raised his head and saw a sea of fire in front of him. That was the flame from the explosion of the Empress' Origin Energy. However, within the flame, the Empress, who only had half of her body left, still did not die. She only let out frequent painful cries.

Alan couldn't help but sigh. The bug's vitality was indeed tenacious. This was the first time that the destructive heavy sniper attack had failed. Even though half of the tail had been blown up, there was still a steady stream of blood vaporizing light coming from it, which was absorbed by the Origin Tool. However, the result of the battle was beyond Alan's expectations. Obviously, the attack just now was far more powerful than before, but it allowed the Empress to minimize the damage in some way.

On the other side, the Queen's entire body trembled. Blood bubbles kept spitting out from the broken waist. After the blood bubbles flowed down, countless granulation sprouts had already grown on the broken surface. The granulation grew and combined at an astonishing speed, forming a tentacle that looked like seaweed. The ends of these tentacles formed bone marrow-shaped swords. Each bone sword was pitch-black without light, yet it gave off an exceptionally sharp feeling.

After the mutation, the bug's aura faded, but it still let out a roar. He paddled his feet and rushed towards Allen like a train. The Empress charged forward, and her enormous body emitted an incomparable aura. Allen's first thought was to dodge, as if you were facing a fully powered train galloping towards you. As soon as he thought of this, the tentacles behind the insect were raised like snakes, and the bone swords at its tail were all aimed at Alan.

Then, streaks of black lightning pierced through the air, and tentacles shot out, carrying bone swords with them. With so many tentacles attacking at the same time, the bone swords were like warm-up bullets from a machine gun, nailing down towards Allen. Ellen didn't want to be crucified on the spot and immediately slid back. The Empress chased after him, her tentacles chasing after Allen's footsteps like javelins, shattering the ground he had slipped across.

He could not help but turn sideways, allowing the three tentacles to drill into the ground where they were just now. Before Alan could breathe a sigh of relief, a few tentacles suddenly twisted into a ball and drew horizontally. Alan could only lift the heavy destructive sniper, but he was still sent flying backwards.

He fell to the ground, his throat sweetened, and he spat out blood. After the Destruction Heavy Sniper blocked this attack, blood veins appeared on his body, and light pierced through his body. The silhouette narrowed down and finally returned to the dagger posture of the devil's praise. Ellen smiled bitterly. The Destruction Heavy Sniper had taken off its stance at this moment. It was obvious that the situation was getting worse. However, in reality, he could only take back his dagger.

Raising his head, he looked at the Empress. This big bug had also reached the end of its powerful bow. The speed at which his body collapsed was clearly increasing. Especially the wound on his head that had been blasted out by the Destruction Heavy Sniper, bug fluid was constantly flowing out of it. Alan looked at himself and felt that it wasn't easy either. Only about 30% of his Origin Energy was left, and there were several wounds on his body, causing him to feel a faint pain. The air that was sucked into his lungs was like a burning wind, burning his throat dry and bitter.

If possible, he really wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep. But now, he could only forcefully raise his spirits to deal with this monster that could be called the enemy of all living beings in front of him.

The Empress must not be allowed to go to the ground. Otherwise, it only needed to find a place where no one could escape and rest for a hundred or two centuries to strengthen its own group. When it reappeared, it was a world-class disaster. Even if this planet wasn't his own home, who knew when the Empress with unlimited possibilities would evolve the ability to travel between the stars?

At that time, he would jump into the void and freely travel between the star systems, plundering more of the genes of living things and constantly improving himself, thus becoming a more terrifying monster. Who could guarantee that such a monster would not appear at the edge of the universe one day? If it descended on Earth, Allen was sure that the disaster it would cause would definitely be even more severe than the Battle of Dawn hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, the outcome will be decided here today.

Alan quickly searched, and a moment later, he saw Qianjun, who was stuck on the ground. The Empress seemed to know something as she flew towards the heavy saber. With a low shout, he chased after Alan. Alan reached out to catch Qianjun when he was still tens of meters away. Qianjun trembled and let out a buzzing sound. He suddenly jumped out of the ground and bounced back into Alan's hand.

Holding his saber, he turned around, and Allen's aura burst forth. He raised his sword in an incomparably solemn manner, as if he was raising a mountain peak, a stretch of heaven and earth! Huang Huang's majestic momentum arose spontaneously. The red glow of killing intent on Qian Jun's blade was dyed open, becoming brighter and brighter. In the end, the red glow turned into a profound yellow color. The blade seemed to be burning with flames, and the profound yellow light gradually disappeared into Qianjun.

Qianjun immediately let out a loud saber roar, like a tiger's roar, like a dragon's chest. The sound spread out in the underground space, echoing unceasingly, becoming more and more intense. In the end, it was as if the entire space was responding to Allen's battle intent, producing an extremely resonant loud sound!

The sound wave was so strong that even the Empress' roar was suppressed. The empress' compound eyes also shone with fear like humans.

With his battle intent and spirit highly concentrated, Allen's will was similar to the first time he had fought a Saber Demon General in Shadow Stronghold on Nether Domain Star. As long as the will was placed on a certain point, it would naturally obtain a huge amount of information. This level of comprehension allowed Allen's will to break free from the restraints of his body and enter a domain that was completely indescribable. josei

Thus, when his gaze, which had gradually become blank, fell on the Empress, it was as if he was staring at the Abyss of the Star Sea. The Empress gave off an extremely strong sense of danger, as if she had collided with a natural enemy, causing it to go berserk. Hundreds of tentacles with bone swords pulled out black lightning and landed on Allen like a black forest.

The black forest continued to spread, and just as it was about to touch Alan, it suddenly froze. Several big eyes floated around the Empress, each one reflecting the silhouette of a giant bug. Being focused by these eyeballs, the Empress instantly stopped from her body to her Origin Energy. Only after a second or two did the Queen tear it apart with her furious Origin Energy.

However, this pause was enough for Alan to swing his heavy saber.

Wherever the blade passed, there was no fire in the air that produced smoke. A streak of hot smoke spread out, dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, the cycle of reincarnation from birth to death was completed. However, ten meters away, the coronal bone armor on the Empress' head cracked apart. A thin slit formed out of thin air, winding down, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the wound that had been blasted out by the Destruction Heavy Sniper, extending all the way.

This crack completely passed through the entire armor crown and tore open the flesh and blood of the Empress' jaws. In the end, it disappeared into the body beneath the insect's head.

An invisible heat wave blew away, and the two sides of the Empress' body suddenly lit a fire. The waves of fire rushed up like a curtain. Within the curtain of fire, the Empress was left with only a pitch-black silhouette. The silhouette's head suddenly split apart and fell to both sides. Then, the insect blood rushed up like a fountain, sprinkling into the Origin Energy flames, instantly evaporating into waves of foul green smoke!

The realm of comprehension, the binding force field of the Evil Eye Projection, and this sentimental and impromptu attack that reached the peak of Allen's Saber Dao finally killed the Empress, an extremely vicious beast. He used this saber strike that didn't carry the slightest bit of fireworks, but instead, it was behind Yan Zhi Lie's attack. Allen's Origin Energy had not only been sucked clean, it had also exceeded the bottom line. He couldn't hold the heavy saber any longer, his body suddenly became cold and hot, and he knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

A trace of blood energy flowed into the Origin Tool behind his waist to help him calm down the abnormal situation caused by the excessive use of Origin Energy. Alan was able to catch his breath, but he was already incomparably weak. At this moment, not to mention wielding a saber, an ordinary person who could wield a sword would probably be able to easily stab him to death.

This was also the first time Allen had experienced the feeling of exhaustion from using Origin Energy.

Once the Empress died, the clones made up of her genes would naturally die as well. Not only that, even the faceless and alien larvae in the base above were ordinary. They were all created by the Empress, but at the time of creation, the Empress also seemed to have left behind a deadly secret door in their genes, thus living and dying with it. This was probably a method of control, so that when future generations realized that they had become the key that the Empress had made up, it was hard to guarantee that they would not fight back.

With this guarantee, those descendants naturally had to obey orders obediently and not have the slightest desire to resist. However, when the Empress died, they could only be buried with her.

The crowd that had been pushed away by the insect tide was finally able to return to Allen's side. Several wounds of varying severity fell on their bodies, and even Edward's back was corroded black by the poisonous water of the Queen's avatar. However, he had managed to survive this great battle. The remnants of his calamity could always make the human body precious to be alive.

However, not everyone survived. For example, Red Leaf was bitten by the Queen's avatar. In the end, Garner had to stab her to death. Garner silently picked up Red Leaf's corpse and walked towards the exit. He was the only one left in the five-man adventure team. As Garner left, he couldn't help but glance at the Empress' corpse, Alan, and the others.

Alan, Ruins, Queen. These three had become a mystery in his heart, and they were also a lingering wound.
