Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1391 - 1357: The Big Catch

"The 'Life Tree' grows stronger each day, and with each strengthening, it can further suppress the invasion of the 'Sagali' civilization. The effect is immediate, which was one of Chen Fei's designed trump cards from the start."

Given the dare to open the 'Stargate,' it naturally considers that the parasitic species might counterattack with a reversal.

The best hunters often appear in the form of prey. The 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space isn't so easily invaded, and while the 'Halo' accelerates the 'Sagali' invasion, it also enhances the devouring efficiency of the 'Life Tree.'

When push comes to shove, if the 'Sagali' civilization cannot timely break this balance, the strength comparison between the enemy and us will eventually reverse.

Chen Fei volunteered to join the rescue team of the Slan Dynasty, not just for the 'Lord of the Sky,' but also to find a breakthrough in the 'Sagali' civilization's stronghold.

However, no situation is ever unchanging.

Adam: Detection of 'Lord of the Sky' Lin Mo; the opponent has entered the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space.

"Indeed!"

Chen Fei remained calm, his expression showing no surprise.

These variables were all anticipated.

Anyone with a brain would not let the opportunity to invade the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space through the 'Halo' slip away, so they would certainly chase in.

Exterminate the enemy completely; leaving no remnants is the right way to operate. The saying "don't chase a cornered enemy" is refuted by the prime example of Xiang Yu at the banks of Wujiang.

"What do you mean indeed? Has there been a change?"

Heseman Brown doesn't have Chen Fei's instant information acquisition methods and can only guess from his reactions.

"The 'Lord of the Sky' has chased inside, along with some AI mechanical bodies."

After explaining, Chen Fei continued, "Imprisonment!"

The Lord of the Sky that passed through the 'Halo' and the numerous mechanical bodies that entered the Life Space were immobilized in mid-air, unable to move.

Every corner of the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space is filled with the domain rules of the 'Life Tree.' Even without the Heavenly Order rank or Psychic talent, Chen Fei can easily use these authorities; otherwise, it wouldn't qualify as the home ground.

"Twist!"

Chen Fei fiercely grasped his hand.

In synchronization with his action, the biological space mothership and various monsters above the 'Life Tree' seemed to be shredded into pieces by an invisible force, raining blood like a waterfall.

Chen Fei himself combined with the 'Life Tree' represents the truly complete form.

However, the 'Lord of the Sky' and the group of mechanical bodies remained untouched, suspended in mid-air, seemingly still in a state of 'Imprisonment.'

The world's AI is not limited to 'Adam.' Perhaps 'Cybertrom' also listens solely to the 'Lord of the Sky,' or there might be other unknown high-intelligence AIs. Therefore, Chen Fei is determined to eliminate the 'Lord of the Sky' at all costs because once standing at an opposing position, the threat is immense.

"..."

Heseman Brown completely doesn't comprehend Chen Fei's operations, nor does he know what exactly happened.

Chen Fei spoke gravely, "The 'Lord of the Sky' is still alive; I couldn't kill him!"

That twist alone, even against a Heavenly Order, would've shattered them into smithereens, yet 'Lord of the Sky' Lin Mo was unscathed, and the invading hostile mechanical bodies also remain intact without any loss.

There wasn't any emotion of regret in his tone because an even worse circumstance had appeared. Home-ground advantage wasn't foolproof, just offering relative advantage; the opponent had unknown trump cards to Chen Fei.

"'Adam,' ensure each town can activate large protective barriers at any time, just in case."

Chen Fei instructed the AI 'Adam,' and the large protective barrier generator developed by Louis Industrial Company can now be put to use, charging in advance for emergencies.

Within the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space, communication can at least be guaranteed, and the 'Sagali' civilization's interference methods against industrial civilization's communication aren't even comparable to a non-sentient Mutant.

The entire Life Space is liable to turn into a battlefield at any moment, and that's why Chen Fei takes precautions.

Various defense designs were pre-planned in every town scattered throughout the Life Space, with major cities even having the protection of the 'Skylight.' The 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space was originally developed to counter the 'Sagali' civilization threat; even with its leveling up for the 'Ark' plan, caution wasn't relinquished, and now these plans are finally being utilized.

From another angle, the 'Sagali' civilization's strength has dangerously pushed the boundary with Chen Fei teetering on the edge.

Card after card has been played; if success isn't found in the end, the predicament Chen Fei faces will be exceedingly dire—not only does he have no retreat, but with the Cangqiong Star Civilization belatedly realizing the true plan of the 'Sagali' civilization over ten millennia, the Blue Star Civilization has no retreat either. Both civilization planets are already grasshoppers on the same string, and no one can escape.

"Adam, what exactly is the situation now?"

Heseman Brown took out his tablet and requested Adam to check the situation above the "Life Tree" canopy.

Near the "Life Tree", beams of directional energy shot into the sky, accompanied by numerous missiles trailing their wakes, rising densely into the air.

Sixteen airship battle groups surrounded the "Life Tree" at the center, with the main battleship cannons relentlessly launching high-explosive grenades, fiercely attacking the focus-fire positions of the directional energy beams, while the explosions of missiles and artillery shells continued like unremitting thunder.

Tactical jets continuously roared off the ships, supplementing the air superiority forces.

Without any warning, an invisible wave erupted swiftly.

The canopy of the "Life Tree" gently swayed as countless emerald green leaves detached from the branches, fluttering and descending like a grand rain of leaves.

Numerous lifeless birds and various insects similarly fell like raindrops; among them, a few unranked Pure Light Sparrows weren't spared either, causing severe damage to the ecosystem within the canopy.

Below the canopy was even more affected by this invisible wave's devastation; many large animals staggered and fell, barely breathing, while small animals collectively perished, leaving the chirping of insects eerily absent, plunging everything into a strange, deathly silence.

With the "Life Tree" as the center, within a hundred-kilometer radius, creatures suffered immensely, with smaller birds and beasts dying or being injured in droves.

The survival rate difference between magical beasts and ordinary birds and beasts became evident at this moment; yet, the rank still played a crucial role. All ranked Pure Light Sparrows were surrounded by a faint white glow—their light-based magic shield allowing them to survive. Even higher-ranked individuals had the strength to protect their eggs and chicks.

If this invisible impact had erupted on Cangqiong Star, most unranked Pure Light Sparrows might not have been so fortunate. Unlike the groups in the "Boundary Pearl" life spaces, only a few would narrowly escape harm.

"Pfft!~"

Like someone had struck his head hard with a hammer, Theodore couldn't help but spit out a cloud of blood mist. Black fog rose before his eyes, seemingly about to lose sight, leaving him shaky and about to fall.

Dazed by the buzzing in his head, he was bewildered about the origin of the attack.

Not only Theodore but also Dang Wei Jun and Heseman Brown fared no better; the rescue team members hiding under the tree sprayed blood, fell, and were at least three or four tenths less effective in combat.

However, the Chu Clan females clutching their young and trembling in the corners, due to their naturally strong spiritual power and psychic talent, mostly saw stars and screamed continuously, not as disheveled as the others.

"What just happened?"

While enduring intense pain like needle pricks, Heseman Brown's condition was slightly better than Theodore's, yet still not by much.

Chen Fei exhaled deeply, seemingly unaware as he said, "Headache?"

Though his spiritual power wasn't offensive enough, its resistance was barely enough for self-protection. Nevertheless, he still felt bouts of dizziness, though not like others who seemed pin-pricked in the head, hammered on the head, spitting blood, vomiting, or fainting.

The other people and those small creatures instantly losing life due to the earlier anomaly were all affected by the residual impact, while Chen Fei bore at least ninety percent of the shock, becoming the primary target of this invisible wave.

"It feels like dying; uh, you don't feel it?"

Heseman Brown, Old Party, and those who spat blood, with blood seeping from their eyes, ears, and nose, along with the ashen-faced Theodore all stared at Chen Fei in astonishment.

Everyone's so miserable, yet you're fine. Why?

"Mental shock, it must be!"

Chen Fei answered irrelevantly, as his companions almost became guinea pigs, forming elements of his situation analysis.

His spiritual power fluctuation intensity kept increasing, even without the "Life Tree's" sharing, it still exceeded the average value of S-level mental ability users and heavenly order psychic spellcasters.

Yet Chen Fei had no time to chat much with S-Class Space Ability Users and others because this time he caught a big fish, even bigger than the "Lord of the Sky".

"Element Annihilation Bomb, centered on the 'Lord of the Sky', layer by layer encirclement, intensive attack."

Although somewhat surprising, it's not impossible.

This signifies the Sagali civilization truly began to pay attention to this small character, bringing both joy and fear, horrifying and terrifying... almost enough to be scared witless.

"Boundary Pearl" life spaces are the home ground for battles, with Element Annihilation Bomb's origin right here. Plus, with breakthroughs in Element Annihilation formulas again, all materials can self-synthesize, production capacity no longer limited by natural magical beast crystal core supply quotas, mainly emphasizing quantity over quality.

The sixteen airship battle groups circling above the "Life Tree" coordinated using electromagnetic railguns to simultaneously launch Element Annihilation Bombs, followed by missile launches for the second round. Under Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam's" coordination, the attack rhythm was synchronized, encompassing Chen Fei's specified location from all angles with no blind spots, with the "Lord of the Sky" and his mechanical bodies still "imprisoned" there.

Even though "Halo" and part of the "Stargate" were also within the radius of elemental annihilation, Chen Fei dared not be careless at all. The tactical purpose of intensive Element Annihilation Bomb shooting wasn't even considering spoils of war.

Because this "big fish" is both prey and hunter; if not careful, even he might be forcibly dragged into the deep end.
