Chapter 290 Full Power Unleashed! The Power of the Heretical Path Overwhelms Everything!
Chapter 290 Full Power Unleashed! The Power of the Heretical Path Overwhelms Everything!
"Tick-tock".
A bead of sweat slid down Chen Yifan's forehead.
The monster before him finally emerged fully from the shadows of the deep well.
It is less a living organism and more a biological one.
It's more like a deformed creation that was forcibly stitched together.
It is as large as a heavy truck.
Twisted flesh covered the upper body, writhing continuously.
Its lower body consists of six menacing mechanical limbs that gleam with a cold metallic light.
Each movement left a harsh scraping sound and deep scratches on the hard alloy surface.
What's most disgusting is the location of its "face".
There were no facial features, only a huge container protected by a bulletproof glass dome.
Inside the container, a human brain that is still beating is submerged.
Countless tubes pierced through the crevices of the brain, connecting to this enormous body.
With each pulse, the dozens of pale compound eyes distributed on its back flickered with a cold, eerie electronic light.
"Crunch!"
The mutated spider emitted a piercing electronic hiss, and its compound eyes on its back instantly locked onto Chen Yifan.
The next second, dozens of scorching death lasers shot out, weaving into an impenetrable net of light, completely blocking all of Chen Yifan's evasion routes!
[Spatial Flash]!
Chen Yifan's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared 3 meters away.
But the laser rain followed closely, blasting molten craters into the very spots where he had just landed.
He flashed again, a dagger appearing in his hand. He activated [Ghost Step], transforming into a blurry afterimage as he tried to get closer to the monster.
However, the dagger imbued with the power of shadow struck the monster's carapace, a hybrid of biological and mechanical forms, leaving only a string of sparks and a shallow white mark.
Conventional methods are ineffective against it!
"Chen Yifan! Retreat! Retreat now!"
Lin Tian's roar came through the earpiece.
The background noise was mixed with the crackling of electrical current from the instrument short circuit and the piercing alarm; his voice was completely distorted!
"Energy Rating Lv.65! Lord-level! It is immune to all elemental damage! Your attacks are useless."
"Its psychic field is spreading; if you don't leave now, you'll be locked in! Use a spatial anchor. Mission failed; we need to rethink our strategy!"
Meanwhile, at a secret base a few kilometers away.
The agent, wearing a silver mask, tapped lightly on the armrest, watching Chen Yifan frantically dodging on the screen.
"Record: Test subject E-97213, extreme evasion ability, excellent. Death countdown, estimated 3 minutes 12 seconds."
He whispered dismissively:
"In the end, he's just a pawn with some potential. I really don't know why the master asked me to keep a close eye on this guy."
The scorching heat of the laser, Lin Tian's roar, and the agent's commanding gaze.
All of this seemed to have become just background noise.
Chen Yifan unexpectedly stopped.
He stopped dodging.
A laser beam whizzed past his calf, exploding into sparks on the alloy floor.
He raised his head, his eyes, which flickered in the firelight, sweeping over the grotesque, menacing spider.
Then, he did something that neither Lin Tian nor the agent could understand.
He slowly raised his left hand.
The next moment!
A terrifying force that exploded instantly erupted from the deepest part of Chen Yifan's body!
It's not psionic.
It is mental strength.
Moreover, it's not just ordinary mental strength.
"The power of heretics"
"Buzz..."
An invisible shockwave spread wildly in all directions from Chen Yifan as the center!
The gravity inside the deep well instantly twisted, and the air emitted a shriek of unbearable strain, as if the glass was being squeezed.
In Lin Tian's laboratory, all the screens turned red instantly, and then went completely black amidst a violent electrical spark!
"He...he's also an agent of the Outer Gods?!"
Lin Tian jumped up from his chair, his face filled with horror.
Inside the deep well.
Chen Yifan's eyes had been replaced by an extremely deep, pure white.
A vast and pure external spiritual force rapidly condensed behind him into a giant phantom hand that was ten meters tall.
The giant hand was made of pure spiritual energy, with rough lines, yet it exuded a terrifying power!
The mutated spider, which was unleashing a furious barrage of firepower, suddenly froze.
An absolute, rank-based suppression emanating from the depths of its soul caused its massive body to tremble uncontrollably.
It emitted a sharper electronic hiss than before.
That... seems to be fear!
It unleashed all its weapons in a frenzy, the dense rain of lasers almost forming a wall of deathly light.
However, all the lasers that were powerful enough to instantly kill a third-tier professional were extinguished when they came within three feet of Chen Yifan.
It was like hitting an invisible wall.
It was crushed into particles of light and dissipated into the air.
Chen Yifan braved the gunfire and advanced step by step.
His posture was relaxed and composed.
A spiritual force that transcends the professional system gently lifted him up.
It stood there in mid-air.
Then, he walked in the air like a god, each step he took on the air, carrying an immense sense of pressure.
He raised his hand, not even looking at the monster, but at the human brain immersed in the glass case.
A thought subtly stirred within me.
The enormous, phantom hand behind him suddenly shot out!
It ignored the mutant spider's proud composite armor and psychic field, piercing through the monster's body like a hot knife through butter!
"Squeak..."
The glass cover cracked immediately.
The phantom giant hand grabbed the still-beating human brain!
"Bang!"
A dull thud.
Blood and engine oil splattered everywhere, and the stench of blood and burnt food mingled together, making people nauseous.
The mutated spider's body was instantly paralyzed, and its immense power collapsed within it.
The mechanical joints groaned.
Flesh and blood tissue rapidly atrophied.
At last.
Collapsed suddenly.
[Steal Everything] activated!
An invisible wave forcibly extracted two completely different fundamental characteristics from the remains of the mutated spider!
A power imbued with a strong sense of blood and decay, the power of "Flesh and Blood Origin".
The other was cold and mechanical, the aura of a "mechanical pioneer".
Two forces, like the purest nourishment, were forcibly refined by [The Theft of All Things] and surged wildly into Chen Yifan's heart palace!
An unprecedented feeling of fullness and satiety made him so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud.
He didn't expect that!
This monster can not only be stolen.
Unlike in the past, where they would first investigate and then steal, this was a different story.
Moreover, this time it wasn't talent, items, or abilities that were stolen...
Rather, it was the energy within the opponent that was about to dissipate.
This discovery broadened Chen Yifan's understanding that something was amiss.
Could it be...?
It was because he cultivated unorthodox methods.
So, what caused this change in talent?
Chen Yifan didn't know.
But now is not the time to delve into it.
The energy core chamber is now unobstructed.
He slowly raised a finger, and a drop of extremely concentrated heretical spiritual power condensed at the fingertip, as if it could devour everything.
The thought arises.
"call out!"
An invisible wave instantly pierced through the massive energy core that emitted a blue glow.
"boom!!!"
The deafening explosion ripped apart the entire three underground levels!
A powerful shockwave traveled upwards along the deep well tunnel, sweeping across the entire Black Forest Manor.
All the lights and all the defenses went out in that instant!
The entire military fortress was plunged into absolute silence and darkness!
……
"ah!!"
Inside the secret base of the "Council of Order," the agent suddenly leaned back, the wheels of his chair screeching as he slammed into the wall with a thud.
In the instant before the monitor screen went completely black, what was captured were those emotionless eyes.
"This...this isn't mutation at all! He...he's like an Outer God! He's mastered the power of origin! What kind of monster is this?!"
……
At the moment the core was destroyed, a deafening, inhuman roar echoed from the main laboratory on the second basement level!
Li Yuantu's beast-form clone, which was undergoing a fusion experiment, suffered the most severe backlash due to the forced interruption of its energy.
His veins bulged and his scales burst open. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs, like a dying beast, letting out a painful and angry growl.
"Da...da...da..."
Heavy, rhythmic footsteps echoed slowly from the dark passageway.
Chen Yifan walked over step by step.
The immense and pure heterodox spiritual power surrounding him was not completely contained; it transformed into a substantial pressure, crashing down on Li Yuantu's enraged clone!
"roar!"
Li Yuantu's clone let out a beast-like roar, trying to break free.
However, that invisible force was like Mount Tai pressing down on you.
His body, at the peak of the third stage of transformation, was so crushed that his kneecaps made a series of cracking sounds, making it impossible for him to move an inch!
Chen Yifan slowly raised his right hand, and a sharp blade formed purely from external spiritual power condensed at his fingertips.
Li Yuantu's original body is no longer present.
Otherwise, such a big commotion would have attracted attention.
But Li Yuantu's clone exists.
It's time to send him on his way.
Just as the black blade was about to strike.
Chen Yifan's "Mind's Eye" swept over the interior of the main laboratory, which had been torn apart by the explosion.
In the center of that huge green nutrient tank, a sleeping girl was immersed.
She was the "S-class living test subject" used as the fusion material.
Chen Yifan's originally cold eyes suddenly narrowed!
The sharp blade in his hand also came to an abrupt halt in mid-air.
In the nutrient tank, there was that pale, sleeping face.
Su Qingxue?!
