As soon as Xingchen entered, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
There is no light, no sound, and even the most basic concept of space becomes blurred.
The Eternal Ark's detection system revealed that the surrounding spatial structure was in a strangely distorted state, like a piece of paper forcibly crumpled by some force.
"This is the lair of the Beast Realm."
Xingchen felt a chill run down her spine, and her pupils contracted slightly.
Through the Eternal Ark's special detection mode, he could "see" the scene within a radius of several light-years, a desolate void with occasional flashes of dark shadows.
The shadowy figures were of various shapes, some resembling human figures and others like giant beasts, but without exception, they all exuded a terrifying aura of destruction.
"Ten billion world beasts..."
Xingchen silently recited the number in her heart, her fingertips unconsciously tightening.
Even with his strength, he had no chance of winning against such a large number of world beasts.
He doesn't care about one or ten World Beasts, but if he gets surrounded by a group of World Beasts, even the Eternal Ship will have a hard time escaping.
The stars carefully maneuvered the Eternal Ark, reducing its speed to a minimum.
The ship moved forward silently, like dust floating in the darkness.
He dared not conduct a large-scale search, and could only wander slowly in the outermost area of the dimly lit place, waiting for suitable prey to appear.
"Beasts of the realm will devour each other."
Xingchen recalled the information about the Beast of the Realm, his eyes gleaming.
"If we wait patiently, some injured world beasts will eventually escape to the outer perimeter."
Time seemed to lose its meaning in the darkness.
Xingchen remained absolutely focused, not daring to relax in the slightest.
In this desolate place where even the strongest beings in the universe can perish, any carelessness could be fatal.
Suddenly, the detection system detected an unusual fluctuation.
Chapter 279 The Wounded Beast of the Realm? Take it All!
Xingchen immediately held his breath and focused his mind, raising his perception to the limit.
About 0.5 light-years to the right front, a dark shadow is staggering toward the edge.
"An injured Beast of the Realm!"
A glint flashed in Xingchen's eyes, and he immediately pulled up the detailed scan data.
It was a small world beast with a strange shape and two heads.
It had a pair of scarlet eyes, two of which were now dull and lifeless. Even more striking was the gruesome wound on its chest, from which black liquid was constantly oozing.
"This is a first-tier world beast!"
Instead of acting immediately, Xingchen cautiously scanned a more distant area.
After repeated confirmation, there were indeed no traces of other world beasts within a radius of twenty light-years.
"That's it."
Xingchen made a decision in her heart and began to approach silently.
The Eternal Ship moved slowly like a predator, its gray aura blending perfectly into the surrounding darkness.
Xingchen could feel her heartbeat quicken slightly. This was not out of fear, but rather an instinctive reaction when facing a powerful enemy.
As the distance closed, Xingchen could clearly see the wounds on the beast's body—clearly caused by being bitten by its own kind.
Black liquid seeped continuously from the wound, condensing into eerie black crystals in the void.
On the other side, a two-headed beast staggered through the distorted space.
Black liquid seeped continuously from the hideous wound on its chest, each drop containing destructive energy, yet solidifying into black crystals the instant it detached from its body, floating in the void.
"Damn Mosa! You despicable attacker!"
The crimson eye on the left side of his head flashed with a venomous light, and his mental fluctuations violently shook his consciousness.
"We agreed to join forces against Batu, but at the last minute they turned on me!"
The eye on the right side of his head had dimmed, and the remaining eye was filled with weakness and rage: "If that madman Batu hadn't self-destructed half of his body, how could we have been injured... That bastard Mosa must have planned this all along..."
The left side of the head turned its neck with difficulty, scanning its surroundings warily.
This area, near the edge of the Dark Lands, has thinner chaotic air currents and a relatively stable spatial structure, making it an ideal place for healing. However, it is also a frequent haunt of other injured world beasts.
"Let's find a place to hide first."
A hoarse mental fluctuation emanated from the right side of his head.
The left side of its head suddenly convulsed violently, a flicker of fear flashing in its single eye. It recalled Mosa's last, ferocious smile; that guy had deliberately avoided vital areas, clearly intending to make it wish it were dead.
It is common for beasts to devour each other, but it is rare to see one deliberately tormenting another like this.
"Wait until we recover..."
The single eye on the left side of his head suddenly glowed with a terrifying red light, and his mental state was distorted by hatred.
"I will tear every piece of Mosa's flesh to shreds, and make it watch its core be devoured bit by bit!"
The right side of the head suddenly coughed violently, expelling a cloud of black mist. Within the mist, tiny, mysterious patterns could be faintly seen collapsing—a sign of damage to its very essence. It leaned weakly against the left side of the head, and the last of its four eyes began to dim.
"Don't think about revenge yet..." The right side of the head emitted intermittent fluctuations. "I sense... the scent of life from the cosmic sea to the southeast... very faint... but enough to stabilize our injuries for now..."
The single eye on the left side of its head suddenly contracted. Encountering a cosmic sea life form on the outskirts of this dimly lit place? This was practically free nourishment! But then it became wary—any cosmic sea life form daring to approach this place was either a fool who had accidentally stumbled upon it, or someone with considerable strength who had come to explore.
His current state...
Both heads simultaneously emitted mental fluctuations filled with hatred, stirring up subtle ripples in the void.
Unbeknownst to them, just a fraction of a light-year away, a small boat shrouded in a gray aura was slowly approaching like a ghost. The secret runes flowing on the boat perfectly simulated the energy characteristics of the dim land, undetectable even to the unique senses of the World Beasts.
“Mosa…Battu…and those bystanders…”
The left side of the head moved with difficulty while uttering venomous curses.
"Once we devour this cosmic sea life and recover from our injuries... I'll make you all regret being born in this era!"
The right side of his head suddenly trembled violently, and his remaining eye stared intently in a certain direction: "I smell it...it's the smell of flesh and blood! Fresh flesh and blood!"
It was so excited that its wounds burst open, but it was completely unaware of it.
"Quick! Before the other creatures of the same kind notice..."
Before the words were finished, a silver light suddenly pierced through the eternal darkness.
boom! ! !
A dazzling silver light suddenly tore through the darkness, like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, instantly illuminating the edge of this dark place!
"what?!"
The two heads of the Twin-Headed Beast trembled violently at the same time, and its scarlet eyes instinctively contracted due to the sudden bright light.
Its mental perception issued a frantic warning, but it was too late—
That silver light was not an ordinary attack, but rather the core energy eruption of the Eternal Ark!
Xingchen didn't give it any chance to react at all; it attacked with all its might from the very beginning!
"Suppression!"
On the surface of the Eternal Ark, countless runes suddenly lit up, and the previously hidden gray aura instantly transformed into a dazzling silver-white.
At this moment, the entire warship transformed into a silver torrent that pierced through the void, carrying terrifying power capable of crushing small universes, and slammed into the body of the two-headed world beast!
"Do not--!!!"
The Beast's screams exploded on the mental level, its body twisted violently in the silver light, and its already severely injured body almost instantly disintegrated!
Click!Click!
The gruesome wound on his chest was pierced by silver light, and black liquid gushed out wildly, but it was evaporated the moment it came into contact with the silver light!
The single eye on the left side of the skull exploded, and the only remaining eye on the right side of the skull also quickly dimmed, causing the mental fluctuations to almost completely dissipate!
"How is this possible... such power...!!"
It simply couldn't understand why a cosmic sea creature could unleash such a terrifying attack!
This was a force that it simply could not withstand!
However, the stars didn't give it a chance to think.
"receive!"
The hull of the Eternal Ark suddenly expanded, and the laws of internal space operated wildly. An invisible binding force instantly enveloped the broken body of the Beast of Realms.
"No! No! Let me go!!"
The Beast struggled frantically, trying to activate the remaining destructive source within its body to resist, but its injuries were too severe, and coupled with the suppressive power of the Eternal Ark, it couldn't even escape!
"Mosa...Bathu...Save me...!"
It desperately sent out mental fluctuations, trying to call for other world beasts, but Xingchen's actions were too fast. From the moment it made its move to the moment it suppressed the beast, the whole process took only a moment!
Swish!
The hatch of the Eternal Ark slammed shut, completely sealing the dying Beast inside.
Now, even his mental fluctuations have been completely cut off.
Chapter 280 Capture Successful, Exceptionally Smooth
Xingchen stood in the control room, her eyes cold.
"Success."
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the Eternal Ship, causing the secret runes on its surface to flash wildly as its stealth mode was fully activated!
"go!"
