Chapter 253: Chapter 222: All-out Counterattack, Domain Control (Part 2)

It was like slapping the surface of water.

It made a splash.

But it had no effect.

Solid and liquid states, converting at will.

Moreover, all the other races surrounding Gao Neng noticed another problem. Without realizing it, they began to find it difficult to breathe.

"Could it be that this Gao Neng can also extract..."

"Oxygen—all of it, extracted!" Gao Neng’s voice answered their question. He had no more reservations. Hiding his talents was bullshit at this point.

He had already come this far.

It was almost a certainty that he would be suspected.

So, he decided to be more direct.

After extracting the elements from stone and soil, his target shifted to the air itself. He was going to turn the several-hundred-meter radius into a true death zone in one go.

Because he could already clearly feel the energy in his body depleting at the speed of a rocket.

The fusion!

It was powerful!

Truly powerful!

But his time was limited. Even the sip of the Spring of Life he had taken wasn’t enough.

So, while controlling the mixed energy, Gao Neng was also continuously swallowing Energy Pills—stuffing them into his mouth by the handful.

’I have plenty of fucking Energy Pills, and I earned every last one of them myself!’ Gao Neng actually had a great many Energy Pills on him right now.

He had received a thousand from his last mission.

He’d used some while cultivating, but still had several hundred left. Then, before coming here, he had procured more, bringing his total back up to a thousand Energy Pills.

Furthermore, some of them were even mid-grade Energy Pills.

Down the hatch with a satisfying CRUNCH.

"Kill!"

Gao Neng roared, and the mudslide turned into a rolling tidal wave, crashing out in all directions.

The tall trees all around them snapped and broke.

BOOM!

BOOM!

One after another, the trees came crashing down.

The instant the trees fell, the mixed energy engulfed them. Then, new energy surged forth from within the mixture.

Wood!

When fighting in a forest, which element is most abundant?

Definitely not iron!

It’s wood!

What elements is wood composed of?

Essentially, trees are also carbon-based life forms. Their main component is carbon, making up 44% of their mass. Besides that, there’s about 6% hydrogen and 42.5% oxygen.

Finally, there is less than 0.5% nitrogen and less than 1% mineral content.

So, he would extract it all!

As for why he waited until the trees had fallen to extract their elements, it was because of a certain principle.

That principle was...

One cannot directly extract Elemental Energy from within a living organism.

There are many scientific explanations for this, such as: bio-electric waves, life signatures, a sixth sense, or something of that sort...

Because of this, when one living organism forcibly extracts the elements from another, the two inadvertently become a single "entity" connected by these waves.

In that case, when you extract the elements from a tree, you are effectively extracting the elements from your own body—a suicidal act.

However, the trees had been snapped in half.

This meant the upper portions had lost their life signature. They could no longer produce the "waves" a living organism should have, as those waves only existed at the root.

Gao Neng’s academic performance had always been excellent. Of course he wouldn’t make such a fundamental mistake.

Air, trees, mud, and stone!

Gao Neng never did things by halves. If he was going to do it, he would do it thoroughly.

Within a radius of several hundred meters.

He spared nothing. He extracted everything!

"That kid... he’s even extracting the Elemental Energy from the trees?!" Gui Zian was actually some distance from Gao Neng, so he didn’t know that Gao Neng had also extracted the oxygen and other elements from the air.

He could only see the destroyed trees being dissolved.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the pressure on Shen Ning’Er had suddenly decreased, and she too noticed the situation on Gao Neng’s side. All she could see was a world blanketed in energy.

"Liar! You actually lied to me, saying you only had eight talents over 80%?! It’s obviously more than that..." Shen Ning’Er’s pretty face was flushed with a hint of anger. Then, she executed a sudden reverse-thrust with her spear.

A sixth-rank member of the other races fell to the ground.

"That’s for lying to me!" Shen Ning’Er cursed again. She stomped on the face of the sixth-rank alien, continuing to grind her foot down as she spoke, "If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come to save you! Liar, liar, liar..."

"AH! AHHH..." The sixth-rank alien screamed repeatedly. He could understand what Shen Ning’Er was saying, but he was bewildered. What had he lied to her about?

But none of that mattered anymore.

Because he wouldn’t need to figure it out.

Shen Ning’Er quickly ended his suffering, piercing his head with her spear.

’If I don’t die, I’ll definitely...’ Shen Ning’Er’s gaze swept her surroundings. In the end, she just tightened her grip on her spear. ’Let’s talk about it after we survive this!’

"Kill!"

Shen Ning’Er, coordinating with the Furious Giant Ape and clad in a set of golden feathered garments, was like a Slaughter God, charging in and out of the ranks of the sixth-rank aliens.

As for Fang Tangtang, who had been standing behind Gao Neng this whole time...

...her eyes were now wide.

She had broken through!

This was a joyous occasion. Moreover, she had a performance planned for this moment—a performance she had been imagining for several years.

It was a spectacular one, capable of raising her combat power by at least two or three tiers.

But before she even had a chance to perform...

...Gao Neng had already completely stolen the show.

"We both broke through to the fourth rank, so why are you so different from me!" As Fang Tangtang shouted, she finally crushed the various capsules in her hand.

They were capsules of copper and iron elemental energy.

But they contained more than just copper and iron; there were other metallic elements as well.

Most importantly, this copper and iron weren’t liquid energy. They were a finished product, just like the No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon—a manufactured item.

And this finished product was a bunker.

That’s right! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

A metal bunker.

It materialized above Fang Tangtang and enveloped her entire body, leaving only a few embrasures from which electric currents crackled.

"I’m so mad! I’m Death God Fang Tangtang, you know! Can’t you even spare me a glance? Look at my enhanced Electromagnetic Cannon!" Fang Tangtang shouted as she fired the weapon.

BOOM!

The Electromagnetic Cannon fired from one of the current-filled embrasures.

The originally blue pillar of light had, in this instant, turned purple.

BOOM!

A massive explosion.

Three fifth-rank aliens were hit by the blast. They were turned to ash before they could even scream.

"It’s strong, right? It’s really strong! And it protects me really well! Most importantly, it can move according to my will. A mobile bunker that can also amplify the power of the Electromagnetic Cannon... I’m really amazing!" Fang Tangtang lifted her head and puffed out her chest.

She thought Gao Neng would at least have to look at her now, right?

But the truth was...

...Gao Neng didn’t.

Because, high above his head, a red figure was already diving down. It was incredibly fast, its two longswords flowing with a dazzling light.

"Die!" Mu Feifei’s eyes had turned completely red.

’You never learn. Have you forgotten how I crippled you a few months ago?!’ Gao Neng’s eyes narrowed. Mu Feifei’s diving posture was all too familiar.

So familiar that he didn’t even need to think of another move to counter it. He simply directed all of the mixed energy on the ground to surge up and meet her.

SPLAT!

It was as if she had plunged headfirst into muddy water.

Mu Feifei crashed headlong into the mixed energy. Then, the energy began to compress, its volume shrinking as the liquid transformed into a solid.

"You really think I wouldn’t dare kill you just because you’re some Ninth Princess?! Humans and the other races are in a fight to the death. If I kill you, what can your Celestial Race possibly do to me?" Gao Neng snorted coldly.

Meanwhile, the Princes standing in the distance were dumbfounded.

"Oh no! The Ninth Princess is in danger!"

"This Gao Neng... just what in the world is he?!"
