Chapter 398: Swallowing a Planet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The battle in space had suddenly started, and it had continued for several hours without coming to an end.

The shadow mouths materialized in front of the fist shadows. After a moment of stalemate, they were dispersed. Then, new shadows materialized and the cycle continued, trying to withstand the attacks from the giant.

It had to be known that just one of these shadow mouths had once made everyone on the blue planet feel afraid and uneasy. It was like a shadow that could not be removed from their hearts.

Shock waves spread out in all directions, and the orbit of the blue planet was changing slightly. Blood essence shone in the air, enveloping the outer space like a furnace.

Under the gazes of countless people, the huge mouth that was revealed after the moon broke apart screamed as it was attacked crazily. From time to time, black blood would spew out of its mouth. The black tubes behind it were destroyed, and the chains on its body were all broken.

Just like that, the threat that had been floating above the heads of the humans, which was the special life form on the blockade, was quickly sent flying away from its original position.

Then, it gradually turned into a black dot, as if it was about to fall onto the sun, which was the only star in the solar system. Under the dazzling rays of sunlight, it was almost invisible, and only the phenomenon caused by the battle was left behind.

“The blockade has been broken!”

In the first industrial base, the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom heaved a sigh of relief. His heart, which had been in his mouth, calmed down. Chen Yiming was now the symbol of humanity, and he represented more than just himself.

This symbol signified the new era. If anything happened to him, human civilization would be forced to go in another direction.

The gazes of the surrounding big shots stopped on the hundreds of dire wolves and quickly turned back to the battlefield in space. They were all extremely shocked.

“Even if his hands and feet are destroyed, he can still recover completely in an instant. Is this still the body of a human?”

“The aftershock of the battle on the blue planet is almost zero. The blockade trapping the humans is already very far from the blue planet.”

“Could it be that the huge pit spanning thousands of kilometers in the dark forest world was created just like that?”

Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, it was still unbelievable. It was hard to believe that this was something that could be done with one’s physical abilities.

Hundreds of years ago, a great scientist proposed the law of physics that every force had an opposing reaction. Even today, it was still a rule that held, and supernatural power was also within the scope of this law.

This meant that in the melee battle between the two sides, the intensity of the attack on the huge mouth would reflect back on Chen Yiming.

However, the recovery ability of the giant figure in space was terrifying. In less than a breath, his entire body had completely recovered, as if the injuries he had suffered earlier were just an illusion.

“After not seeing him for a day, Mr. Chen seems to have become stronger.”

The leader of the dire wolves looked up at the blazing sun. Two black dots, one big and one small, were falling towards a huge fireball.

There were two scenes in its mind. One was of Chen Yiming fighting the demon god, and the other was of Chen Yiming silently appearing on the moon.

“Compared to the world-level formation, although he didn’t instantly destroy the huge mouth on the blockade, the outcome is no different from destroying the blockade.”

The leader of the dire wolves had seen the black tubes connected to the back of the mouth and the chains covering its entire body break under the terrifying tearing force.

The black tube and chains were only effective against the huge mouth that was connected to it. Their resistance to destruction was not as strong as expected, and the huge mouth was no longer under the control of the black tide.

…

In the cold and silent space, the eight planets were revolving steadily around a large fireball. There was also the faint starlight from deep space. Other than that, there was only darkness.

The commotion caused by the battle between the two terrifying existences slowly attracted the attention of the terrifying creatures hiding in various corners of the solar system.

Not long after the terrifying creatures left the blue planet, they were suddenly forced to split up. Now, they had completely lost contact with each other.

On an asteroid belt that was moving towards the periphery of the solar system, the asteroids were only small when compared to the huge celestial bodies in the solar system. In reality, they were not small at all. Large asteroids with a diameter of dozens of kilometers could be found everywhere.

An eye with a ripple pattern on it appeared on an asteroid that was a few kilometers in diameter. It was one of the terrifying creatures, the huge eye.

“A battle broke out in the direction of the blue planet?”

The huge eye stared for a long time, feeling shocked and uneasy.

Although it did not know who was making the move, a battle at this level had undoubtedly reached the level of the power of the world.

The power of nature was a secondary power derived from the power of the world on a living planet, a cultivation world, or a secret realm.

Most of the universe was a void, and the power of nature was very weak. It was usually not enough to support such a level of combat, and the consumption and replenishment could not be balanced.

As for the power of the world, it was a higher-level type of supernatural power. It was invisible and colorless, and was widely distributed in various corners of the universe.

Although the power of the world in the void was not as strong as that from the celestial bodies, it was enough to support a long battle. This was determined by the level of their strength.

Therefore, even if one controlled the power of nature to a high level, they could only barely move forward in deep space.

After mastering the power of the world, although the outer space was still and quiet and so wide that one could only see the edge of it, it was still difficult to travel a long distance measured in light-years.

However, moving forward in deep space was no longer a problem. One had the ability to withstand dangers at the interstellar level.

“With such a huge commotion, almost the entire solar system has been alarmed. Can we take the opportunity to escape?”

The huge eye retracted its gaze and started to weigh the pros and cons.

It had the ability to distort space and create a temporary space-travel passage. Under normal circumstances, it would not take long to leave the solar system alone.

Since the power of nature in the void after it left the planet was weak, it could only use this space-travel ability every once in a while.

However, the ability to manipulate space was just that. It was rare and its functionality was something that other special abilities could not replace. Before the terrifying creatures encountered the unexpected situation, they were willing to follow the huge eye, which was equivalent to letting it lead them.

After a short period of contemplation.

“Damn it, we were completely at a disadvantage because of the internal strife in the past. We clearly had the advantage in terms of timing and location, but we failed at the last hurdle when we had almost broken through the blockade.”

An angry spiritual fluctuation spread through the surrounding asteroids.

The terrifying creatures did not expect that after breaking through the blockade on the surface, the black tide would still have a backup plan in the solar system.

This backup plan not only referred to the dark power that was gradually accumulating in the remaining celestial bodies, but also to a creature that could travel through the void and had the ability to teleport.

This creature’s body was like that of a crawling insect. It was long and had silver patterns around it from head to toe. Under normal circumstances, it would not appear in the physical world, but only move between the mysterious gaps in space.

“The battle in the direction of the blue planet is ultimately a terrifying collision. If I use my space-manipulation ability, it will definitely cause a spatial fluctuation.”

“Which will attract more attention? It’s difficult to determine. I’ll hide in the asteroid belt and think about it when I reach the edge of the solar system.”

The huge eye’s restless heart calmed down, and it finally decided to hide in the rubble.

At the same time, it recalled the scene of the snow beast disappearing.

A strange crawling insect had suddenly crawled out from the space behind the snow beast and swallowed it in one bite. The whole process was fast and clean, not giving it any chance to struggle free.

The other terrifying creatures, including the huge eye, were lucky enough to escape in all directions after the strange insect was temporarily frozen.

However, after going into hiding, they restrained their energy fluctuations, afraid that they would suffer the same fate as the snow beast if the strange insect sensed them.

The solar system was very large and also very small. Other than the huge eye, the other terrifying creatures moved through the solar system like snails.

If they were discovered and targeted by the strange insect that could travel through space, it was equivalent to an eagle seeing a turtle on the ground. It was impossible for them to escape.

…

In space, the two huge creatures were moving faster and faster.

Other than on the celestial bodies, the rest of the solar system was a vacuum environment with almost no air resistance.

Therefore, as the countless fist shadows overlapped, as long as the huge mouth did not explode or disintegrate on its own, its speed would continue to increase.

As he approached Venus, Chen Yiming suddenly felt a complicated spiritual fluctuation.

“Human, thank you for helping me. I didn’t expect a planet with such a short history of cultivation to give birth to an existence like you.”

“However, the prey that comes right to my mouth makes me very excited. I’ll devour you first, then the other eight planets, and finally the sun. Hehehe…”

Its wild laughter was filled with malice.

The huge mouth, which had been controlled by the black tide, finally seemed to be about to counterattack. Previously, it had only been pretending to be beaten until it could not put up any resistance.

“According to the order, the last step is to devour the sun? Then I’ll blast you straight into the sun and see who can come out alive,” Chen Yiming’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

As soon as this thought appeared, the huge mouth exploded into nine parts. Black blood splattered throughout the space, and even the light was completely dyed black and disappeared.

Immediately after, each part flew in different directions and approached Venus from all directions. As they flew, the nine parts gradually turned back into the shape of the mouth, and nine smaller mouths appeared.

“Are you going to devour Venus to replenish your energy before fighting me?”

Chen Yiming realized that the main purpose of splitting into nine smaller mouths was to forcefully escape from the battle. He immediately wanted to use the space anchor to instantly kill the nine mouths.

Its main body had split into nine, and each split body would naturally become weaker. Just because it could withstand his crazy attacks previously, it did not mean that it could do the same after splitting up. The split mouths seemed to only be thinking about eating the celestial body not far away.

On second thought, “If humans immediately let the spaceships take off, there will definitely be many problems. We might as well focus on perfecting the spaceships first.”

“As for my original goal, I only wanted to secretly make use of this opportunity to attract many people’s attention to the blue planet. My true plan is to stir up the other worlds around the dark forest world.”

“At the moment, it’s not like when they first invaded us. Every move is being watched from somewhere hidden. If I rashly use the space anchor, my space-manipulation talent will be exposed too easily.”

After thinking it through, Chen Yiming smiled in disdain. Using the weak power of nature in space as a medium, he randomly chased after one of the split mouths.

There was no need for any fancy moves. He only clenched his fists and punched down from the sky, repeatedly and quickly punching down.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

The space where the huge mouth was located was quickly filled with cracks under the siege of countless fist shadows.

Each fist shadow represented a terrifying explosion of energy, and the physical impact spread out in all directions.

Not long after, something in the mouth that was attacked by the fist shadow suddenly exploded. It was punched into a spatial rift and mixed together with the spatial fragments.

Finally, the continuous punches finally caused the target mouth to explode.

One of the nine parts of the huge mouth had exploded and died.

“Damn it, I underestimated the endurance of the split bodies. I should have split into three. However, this damned human has been fighting for so long. Isn’t he tired?”

An angry spiritual fluctuation appeared, representing the rage of the huge mouth.

“If I destroy one or two more, will the damage to the inner world be worth it compared to one celestial body?”

Chen Yiming chuckled. His figure flashed through space like a stream of light. After a while, he caught up to his next target.

Facing the enemy, his expression was cold and heartless. He swung his fist again, as if he wanted to kill as many of the split mouths as possible.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

In space, continuous tremors rang out at an unimaginable scale. The various detection devices on the blue planet could no longer see the situation clearly. They only knew that the battle was still going on as they made their way towards Venus.

In the end, before the mouth could reach Venus, a total of three split mouths had died tragically under Chen Yiming’s attacks.

…

Just as Chen Yiming forced the huge mouth to flee in the direction of the sun,

time gradually passed. Night gradually fell on the blue planet. The sky became dark, and it was easier to watch the battle in space.

Therefore, all the telescopes in the shops all over the world were sold out in a short period of time. Although ordinary telescopes were not of much use, this could not stop the people’s enthusiasm.

Another international video conference was held. However, this time, the heads of the various countries were using portable video equipment. Some were sitting on the rooftop of tall buildings, some were standing on the top of large mountains, and some were standing on a wide grassland.

“Are they going to fight all the way to the sun?”

The leaders of the small countries chatted in low voices in the video conference.

No matter how advanced the technology was, it could not stop the interference from the energy fluctuations. When they were too far away, the fiery red blood essence that filled the air almost covered the entire battlefield.

If humans launched an unmanned craft to follow them, the aftershock of the energy could damage the detectors. If they stayed on the blue planet, they could only see the general situation.

The general situation was that the battle had not ended even after such a long time. From day to night, they fought all the way while heading in the direction of the sun.

At some point.

“Eh, where’s Venus?”

One of the leaders turned to speak to the others in the video conference.

Venus, which had existed for billions of years, had inexplicably disappeared. The international video conference was in chaos. Each of them used the high-tech detection equipment beside them to verify it with their own eyes.

Then, the experts also conveyed the news that Venus could no longer be seen to the leaders in the video conference.

“First, the moon exploded, then Venus disappeared. Could Mercury be next?”

The leaders of the various countries immediately became anxious. They did not expect such incidents.

It had to be known that the solar system worked as a whole. The loss of the moon was barely acceptable to humans. After all, humans were almost ready to escape.

At that time, after enduring a harsh environment, all the humans would enter the spaceships to escape. They would have no choice but to give up on the blue planet for the time being even though this was where they were born.

As for the day when they could take back the planet from which humanity originated…

At the moment, only the children dared to dream about this. Adults basically thought that it would already be a miracle among miracles if humans could successfully escape from the black tide.

How could they dare to imagine that a long time later, humans would return to their original planet?

Soon, the news that Venus had disappeared shocked the entire world. Countless astronomy enthusiasts and people who had bought telescopes also noticed this phenomenon.

“Could Venus have been shattered like the moon?”

“That’s impossible. There was no choice but to destroy the moon, since the blockade was on the moon, but why would Venus be destroyed for no reason?”

“F*ck, previously, a large amount of the energy in the core of the blue planet was used up, and the entire world entered an ice age. It was so cold that countless people were forced to go to the shelters that had heating equipment. So many people were there and snoring away, and I could not fall asleep at all.”

“Now that Venus has disappeared, will the opposite happen? Will it become so hot that everyone can only run into the river to avoid the heat?”

…

At the first industrial base, the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom found the leader of the dire wolves and asked him about the possible reasons for Venus’ disappearance.

“It must have been swallowed by the huge mouth.”

The dire wolves’ leader revealed its thoughts with a serious expression.

“What!”

The top leader of the Daxia Kingdom gasped.

Venus was a planet similar to the blue planet, not a satellite like the moon. How could it be devoured so easily and silently?

According to the astronomy experts, in almost an instant, the detection equipment could no longer see Venus.

“Then, Chen Yiming…”

He did not know how to ask the rest of the question. The top leader sucked in a breath and did not let it go for a long time.

The dire wolves’ leader shook its head. “That’s the level beyond the fusion realm. I only know that the power mastered at that level is called the power of the world.”

“In the past, the dark forest world mainly relied on the world-level formation to break through the blockade.”

“Otherwise, with just the terrifying creatures, no matter how many there are, it won’t be enough. That would be suicide.”

As the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom, his personal cultivation level was limited. The dire wolves’ leader also did not know how to explain further.

In reality, the dire wolves’ leader’s understanding of the power of the world was very limited. It only knew that the demon god, who had also mastered the power of the world, had been defeated by Chen Yiming.

However, comparing the demon god and the huge mouth at the blockade, one seemed to be a last-minute product that was born in a special place, while the other was a genuine product that came from the black tide.

Therefore, being able to defeat the demon god was not necessarily equivalent to being able to defeat the huge mouth.

“Venus might not be the location for the final battle. Next, I’m afraid that Mercury will also… the real final battle will be on the sun.”

After some thought, the dire wolves’ leader revealed its guess.

At the very least, it felt that with what Chen Yiming had displayed on the moon before the huge mouth reacted, even if he couldn’t kill the huge mouth in the end, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to escape safely.

In short, this blockade was definitely broken. Facing a pair of iron fists that could punch the huge mouth all the way to the sun, the huge mouth would not return to its original spot easily.

The top leader of the Daxia Kingdom took a while to recover. He muttered,

“The location of the final battle is the sun.”
