Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 560 - 263 Flesh Core_2
"Fucking hell, they’ve got backup?" Li Yelai and the others cursed with frowns on their faces.
The human fleet had been revived for over four hours now, and there was no way they could catch up and destroy that terrible entity.
"We’ll take this one out just the same!"
"Is that the core monster?" Jing Lin asked.
"Exactly, at least the flesh mutations and those blood vessels have all appeared because of it!" Zhao Gang spoke quickly: "Over the years, more and more ships have approached it, and have grown flesh. When we first saw it, the flesh hadn’t spread this far."
"Is it growing or feeding?" a fleet Spiritual Ability User frowned.
"Probably both. Just now those fleshly warships, are perhaps part of it," another fleet Spiritual Ability User responded.
"Whatever it is, let’s destroy it first!"
"Leave it to me! I love dealing with big things like this!" Jing Lin quickly said, his eyes already recovered. Without any hesitation, he used Skyfire Eye!
Wherever his gaze went was within his attack range. That was the terrifying aspect of the Spiritual Eyes Path.
Spiritual Energy flames ignited the flesh, but almost simultaneously, the flesh core began to stir, and the flesh started to grow rapidly.
Even as it was being set on fire, it was regenerating new flesh at an even faster rate, with its volume expanding rapidly.
Tendrils of flesh stretched out, entwining and clinging to the nearby ship wreckage, and the ships it touched were covered in flesh in an instant.
Afterward, those covered ships actually fused together, and a dozen massive ships turned into a single monstrous mass of intertwined flesh and metal, carrying the fierce flames released by Jing Lin towards the crowd!
What a shocking scene it was, metal and flesh, fire intertwining. It turned into a mountainous behemoth!
Pieced together from several cruise ships and warships, its size was extraordinarily terrifying, a creature spanning hundreds of meters, wielding a submarine, closed in on the crowd.
"Fucking hell, they have this up their sleeve too!" This made everyone’s expressions change.
Zhao Gang bellowed: "Yan Yun Fleet, cover with firepower!"
Following the captain’s command, the Yan Yun Fleet warship lingering at the rear once again opened its missile silos, firing a dozen missiles. They struck the flesh monster accurately.
They shattered the massive body of the flesh monster, with large chunks of shipwrecks falling out, and the abandoned aircraft carrier on which everyone stood trembled at this moment, with the surging sea below rising rapidly.
The massive bombardment and battle caused this part of the Dead Sea Wreck to rapidly disintegrate, with seawater pouring in.
The bombardment also severely damaged the flesh monster.
A large portion of the flesh and ship fragments were destroyed, carving off more than forty percent of the monster’s body.
As half of a cruise ship’s wreckage fell, the crowd saw a huge, furiously pulsating tumor, and within it seemed to be a black metal rod.
But almost simultaneously, the flesh surged once again, covering the gap and starting to amalgamate more ships.
"That’s its core! Yan Yun Fleet, aim for that spot, continue bombing! Continue bombing!"
A fleet Spiritual Ability User shouted, clearly realizing that the monster was acting this way to protect a certain part of itself, which might be its core.
Actually, there was no need for a reminder, as the Yan Yun Fleet had already gone full firepower. It used to be the strongest destroyer before the Calamity, reputed to be a mobile national territory. Under full firepower, a dozen missiles bombed simultaneously.
This missile attack blew the monster in half. It also tore open the flesh and metal of the monster, exposing its core once again.
"Attack the core! The Yan Yun Fleet doesn’t have much ammunition left!"
This time, the Spiritual Ability Users didn’t give it a chance to recover. Although the Yan Yun Fleet’s firepower was strong, the missile reserves were running critically low. If they couldn’t seize this chance, they wouldn’t be able to break through the defenses again.
Thus, the Spiritual Ability Users all launched their abilities, attacking the core.
Li Yelai did the same, as his left arm rose, executing Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw!
Wild thunder was grasped tightly by the Dragon Claw, forming a seven-meter-long giant Thunder Spear. He shot it towards the core!
The Thunder Spear was incredibly fast, like a Thunderbolt, making it the second attack to strike the core.
But this still did not destroy the core; a powerful Spiritual Barrier emerged from the tumor, enduring the precise strikes of numerous Spiritual Ability Users.
However, this caused its regeneration speed to significantly decrease. It appeared that the tumor couldn’t maintain such a thick barrier indefinitely, as it came at the cost of reduced flesh growth rate.
It couldn’t have both, physical defense and Spiritual Energy defense at the same time!
Also, the monster, having its core attacked, began to rampage. It twisted its massive body furiously, dodging the precise strikes of the crowd.
And it started to devour more metallic ruins, aiming to form an even larger body.
If it were allowed to grow several times bigger, then truly nobody would be able to do anything about it.
"Can the Yan Yun Fleet still fire missiles?" Li Yelai yelled loudly.
"There should be five more missiles left!"
The five missiles were most likely capable of tearing apart the monster’s physical defenses, but if folks failed to seize the opportunity, it would be a complete failure.
"Don’t worry, I have a plan," Li Yelai rapidly responded, "Please cover me, but don’t come near me."
"Then be careful! Group attack the core, as long as we keep hitting the core, it can’t form into a ship!" a member of the Fleet Night Watch shouted.
The Spiritual Ability Users quickly divided into squads, maintaining steady output, forcing the tumorous growth to activate its Spiritual Barrier.
Under their cover, Li Yelai performed Aerial Stepping and rushed towards the core with speed.
"Can he do it alone?" the fleet’s Spiritual Ability Users frowned and asked.
"Of course, he’s a Championship Candidate!" Jing Lin declared.
This made many of the fleet’s Spiritual Ability Users change their expressions, and then they revealed smiles.
Human Champions were always so convincing.
But Jing Lin still added, "And after this... I suppose your fleet would not really want him boarding the ships, would they?"
The Fleet Soldiers looked puzzled, not understanding what Jing Lin was saying.
Of course, they would find out soon...
In fact, Jing Lin and Li Yelai were in good understanding of each other, already sensing Li Yelai’s intentions.
On the other side, under everyone’s cover, Li Yelai used Aerial Stepping to speed towards the core.
And feeling the terrible threat, a massive number of flesh mutations poured out from the ship’s cabin, trying to throw themselves at Li Yelai to stop this danger.
"Bring it on!" However, Li Yelai revealed a smile as his eyes glinted with gold plating.
The phantasm of a golden giant dragon appeared above Li Yelai’s head.
Mimicry·Divine Hidden Dragon Soul!
A faint golden Domain unfolded, engulfing the monster’s entire body, but not killing the flesh mutations.
Still, it made the monster feel a certain threat, but the flesh mutations, incapable of Aerial Stepping, could not stop Li Yelai’s advance.
Li Yelai, meanwhile, reached up within thirty meters of the core and quickly swiped over his faceplate.
Activating Face, Hated Earth, Li Yuanba!
If the power of the Thunder Spear was not enough, apply a stronger attack!
Under the astonished and excited gaze of the Fleet Soldiers, a thirty-meter tall Golden Armor giant’s Dharma Image suddenly appeared in front of the monster.
Though compared to the vast size of the monster, the Golden Armor giant seemed somewhat diminutive.
But it instilled a sense of Fear in the flesh core!
The moment Li Yelai activated his Dharma Image, the flesh core distinctly felt the entire Dead Sea Wreck tremble, as if about to sink into the sea floor.
At the same time, it became distinctly aware that its own body, located at the core of the Dead Sea Wreck, was beginning to sever from itself!
A mere Human caused such Fear? Frightened the main body into starting to cut itself off?
Who exactly was this Human...
Without any further thought, the flesh core twisted its body, flesh spread rapidly, and ships were assembled from its mass. It grew even larger, the thirty-meter Dharma Image looked even more minute in its presence.
With such a solid physical defense, even Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability Users would think twice before breaking through easily, it thought.
But the next second, the flesh mutations surrounding the Dharma Image suddenly collapsed en masse.
Hundreds of flesh mutations lost their consciousness at that moment and disconnected from the core.
At the same time, above the giant monster, a golden halo flickered...
A thirty-meter long giant golden treasure sword emerged from the halo, falling like Thunder.
For a fleeting moment, the flesh core seemed to see a giant dragon roaring towards it.
The next second, the golden treasure sword passed effortlessly through all the ships, striking the core!
Physical defenses can’t stop a Spiritual Attack!
This was, Divine Storage Dragon Soul!
