From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 170 - 143 Battle Abyssal Alien, Level Up

The Second Transition Essential Skill "Rift Slash" was unleashed in an instant, as the chilling sword radiance slashed downwards from above.

There was nothing in this world capable of blocking this sword strike, and the sword radiance cleaved onto the head of the Abyssal Alien, instantly tearing apart its body and splitting it into two halves.

A one-strike kill.

Seeing this, the other team members couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, a hint of surprise blossoming in their hearts.

Seeing the team leader's combat power this formidable was like an injection of a strong heart stimulant for them.

Bullets and skills poured out crazily, attacking the other three Abyssal Aliens.

Due to the proximity, a distance of twenty meters could be traversed in the blink of an eye.

The leading Abyssal Alien slammed into the caterpillar vehicle with a "Bang," shaking the vehicle violently, nearly causing it to tip over.

The few people on the vehicle were thrown off by the impact, scrambling to get up and continue fighting.

Wu Weibing refused to let go of the gatling gun, gripping the handle tightly in his hands.

The Abyssal Alien jumped onto the combat vehicle with a "Bang" and swung its claw at his head.

Even as a Superpower User, the body couldn't withstand a direct hit from an Abyssal Alien.

Su Muyu did a flip in mid-air, landing on the ground. Upon seeing this scene, she promptly deployed the "Prism Tower Shield" to block the attack for him.

Bang!

The Abyssal Alien shattered the "Prism Tower Shield" with a swipe of its claw, then opened its gaping maw to bite at Wu Weibing's head.

Taking advantage of the defense provided by the "Prism Tower Shield," Wu Weibing rotated the gatling gun's barrel and fired almost directly into the mouth of the Abyssal Alien.

Puh! Puh! Puh...

A string of bullets penetrated the mouth of the Abyssal Alien, exiting through the back of its head, shattering the skull and spewing out a viscous blood.

In its dying throes, the Abyssal Alien spat out a glob of Corrosive Mucus, which landed on the gatling gun's barrel, dissolving through it.

When the eroded barrel fired again, there was a "Bang" as it burst.

Subsequently, the second Abyssal Alien rushed towards the combat vehicle, beginning its pursuit of those who jumped off. The first target was Su Muyu.

Su Muyu reacted swiftly, grabbing the claws of the scout eagle to immediately rise into the air, avoiding the Abyssal Alien's pounce. Then she attacked with Elemental Flame Arrows.

One after another, the Flame Arrows pinned into the head of the Abyssal Alien, lighting flames and scorching it into extreme anger.

The Abyssal Alien had a strong resistance to attacks. The flames could hurt it, but a prolonged incineration was required to do so; it couldn't stop its attacks in a short time.

The Abyssal Alien, failing to reach Su Muyu, turned its attention to Lin Zeyu.

By this time, the Abyssal Alien had charged into melee range, and messy combat with the team ensued.

In such close quarters, firearms were scarcely effective.

Firing a gun in close combat could easily result in friendly fire.

Lin Zeyu, seeing the fire-engulfed Abyssal Alien rushing over, quickly threw down a restraining trap and then turned to run towards Lu Heng.

He was acutely aware that there was only one person who could save him there.

The Abyssal Alien stepped on the restraining trap but was only held back for a second before breaking free and pouncing towards Lin Zeyu.

Lu Heng had just dispatched an Abyssal Alien when he heard Lin Zeyu's shout. He immediately turned and dashed over, intercepting the Abyssal Alien for him.

Bang!

Lu Heng executed a Zhenyue Style heavy chop, colliding with the Abyssal Alien, and was sent flying by the powerful impact.

That level of impact force indicated that the Abyssal Alien's Strength attribute was at least above 65 points—a truly terrifying figure.

A characteristic of Abyssal Alien creatures is their tremendous physical strength.

Apart from Corrosive Mucus, common Abyssal Aliens didn't possess other powerful skills, but they did have enhanced attributes in Strength, Agility, and Constitution.

Thus, an Abyssal Alien's Strength, Agility, and other attributes were much higher than those of a Superpower User of the same level, typically by 20%, especially Strength, which could even be 30% higher.

Indeed, just by looking at their stature, it was clear that such a three-meter-tall fearsome creature would have incredible strength.

Lu Heng's Strength attribute was at 52 points, and his Agility at 66 points.

So, in a head-on collision, he couldn't withstand the onslaught of this Abyssal Alien.

Under the Strength enhancement attribute, its Strength surpassed 65 points, and though its Agility wasn't as high, it was close to 60 points.

Such creatures were akin to a flesh-made battle vehicle, capable of almost overturning an armored vehicle with a direct charge.

Hence, upon directly confronting the attack, Lu Heng was blown away.

As he flew back, Lu Heng raised his hand to unleash the "Thunderous Heavenly Prison," forming a cage of furious thunder and lightning to envelop the Abyssal Alien.

Rumble! Rumble...

Under the torrent of thunder, the Abyssal Alien roared furiously, its body scorched by the power of thunder and lightning, producing a strong burnt smell.

The Abyssal Alien endured the electrical onslaught, breaking free of the Thunder Cage and continuing its charge towards Lu Heng.

Lu Heng knew where the weakness of the Abyssal Alien lay—on the top of its head.

That part was the vulnerable point of the Abyssal Alien's armor shell, the easiest to penetrate.

Of course, this vulnerability was only relative; it wasn't as if a single touch could end it.

In the moment the Abyssal Alien lunged, Lu Heng sidestepped with a slide, then leaped up, somersaulting over its head.

While in mid-air, he executed an inverted Rising Dragon Style strike with the Aurora Blade.

The Aurora Blade's immense attack power cleaved into the back half of the Abyssal Alien's head. With a single stroke, it pierced the carapace and split its head open.

Ah!

This Abyssal Alien howled as it fell to the ground, completely deprived of its combat strength.

Lin Zeyu, seeing the spot Lu Heng had targeted, remembered what Lu Heng mentioned about the Abyssal Alien's weakness during their earlier journey.

He remembered the weakness was on the top of the head, but in the heat of the battle, he could only think about running away.

Moreover, when facing the charge of an Abyssal Alien, it was impossible to strike its head.

Now that he had calmed down, he shot out an Energy Hook and latched onto a large tree branch, retracted the hook to pull himself up into the tree.

From his elevated position, he took out his SVD sniper rifle and aimed at the last two Abyssal Aliens in the battlefield.

Out of the six Abyssal Aliens, four had already been killed.

Only two remained, with Chen Zihang leading two team members in encircling one of the Abyssal Aliens, gaining the upper hand.

Apart from that, there was the last Abyssal Alien, engaged in a fierce battle with the Mechanical Tiger.

The Mechanical Tiger and the Abyssal Alien fought violently, their clash causing the trees and rocks in the forest to shatter with loud bangs.

Both of the large creatures were ferocious, evenly matched in combat.

The Mechanical Tiger's metallic surface was pitted and corroded by the Abyssal Alien's Corrosive Mucus, but it tenaciously held on, fighting against the corrosion and the Abyssal Alien under the effect of "Metal Enhancement."

However, the carapace of the Abyssal Alien was also extremely hard, making it difficult to determine a victor in a short time.

Lin Zeyu aimed for the top of this Abyssal Alien's head, and the moment the Mechanical Tiger took it down, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The Advanced Armor-piercing Bullet, enhanced by the "Bone Erosion" special effect, shot through the Abyssal Alien's head.

Shrapnel swirled inside the Alien's brain, causing a cavitation effect, and turned its brain tissue to mush, finally bursting out through its mouth.

The Abyssal Alien collapsed with a thud, signaling the end of the fight.

After killing six Abyssal Aliens, everyone stood breathing heavily.

...

Having killed two Abyssal Aliens, Lu Heng absorbed 500 points of Demon Energy from each, leading to another level up.

"Source Energy Level increased to 25, All Attributes +3, Agility Attribute additionally +0.9."

The battle was over.

The team hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, ensuring all the Abyssal Aliens were indeed dead, then burned the bodies to prevent any further incidents.

Lu Heng exhaled and motioned to Su Muyu, saying, "Quickly finish scouting the Heavenly Pit, then we'll leave this place."

The fierce battle that had just taken place here would attract other Abyss Creatures due to the smell of blood.

Therefore, they needed to leave quickly.

It was inevitable for team members to suffer injuries in a fight, even just a splash of the Corrosive Mucus could corrode a deep wound.

Teammates hastened to wash the wounds with water and dress them.

Su Muyu approached Lu Heng and whispered, "Before the fight started, I saw a special egg inside the Heavenly Pit, it seems a bit different. Do you want to go take a look?"

Lu Heng nodded and had the reconnaissance eagle carry him into the Heavenly Pit, where at the bottom, he saw a special Abyssal Alien egg emitting a faint glow.

No wonder Su Muyu thought this egg was strange; it was an egg that contained Source Material.

If this egg were to hatch, it would produce an Abyssal Alien Commander, additionally strengthened by the Source Material.

If allowed to mature, it would become a big problem.

Lu Heng plunged his sword into the egg, releasing the Power of Thunder and Lightning to kill the larva inside, turning it to ashes.

He then absorbed a portion of Source Material with a high content.

"Source Material absorbed, Source Quality Fusion increased to 56%."

The Source Quality Fusion was now over halfway, and he was not far from obtaining a complete Second Transition Class.

After coming out of the Heavenly Pit, Su Muyu used the reconnaissance eagle to destroy all of the Abyssal Alien eggs and then set fire to clean them out.

The entire Heavenly Pit had been explored, and they found no Abyss Rift.

However, since they found a Commander Level egg containing Source Material here, it meant that the Rift could not be too far away.

Following this trail, there was a good chance of finding the Abyss Rift.

Once the team finished cleaning up the battlefield, they boarded the vehicle and set off again.

The track vehicle had been hit by the Abyssal Alien, denting a large section of the left armor. Fortunately, the vehicle wasn't broken and could still move forward.

However, the barrel of the autocannon had been dissolved by the Corrosive Mucus.

Wu Weibing felt somewhat distressed: "It's all my fault."

"Fighting is dangerous, and winning is already very good, weapons being damaged is normal," Lu Heng said, patting his shoulder.

Chen Zihang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I might be able to fix it. Do we have a spare barrel on the vehicle?"

When going on a mission, if conditions allowed, a spare barrel was essential.

If they were on foot, carrying a spare barrel would be a hassle, but arriving in a track vehicle meant having a spare barrel was standard.

All that was damaged on this autocannon was the barrel. As long as the body was undamaged, replacing it with a new barrel should be possible to fix.

Chen Zihang also had Magnetic Force and could manipulate the shape of metal, making the repair not too difficult.
