ABRIWMTHM Chapter 119

It was only a temporary loss of thought; as long as his body was still there, he could recover.

Fei Chu choked for a moment, realizing that his first reaction to that scene was admiration for Shi Xing. How could he think of such a method?!

What the hell was that, smashing heads apart.

But his body was very honest, “Okay, let’s do it like this, believe in yourself.”

Then Fei Chu saw countless heads of star beasts being obliterated, their bodies collapsing to the ground.

After decades in the military, Fei Chu could confidently say this was the most thrilling scene he had ever witnessed in his military career.

Too intense, too over-the-top!

“How much longer to the mountain top?” Fei Chu asked Shi Xing as they ran.

Shi Xing replied, “Just around four or five more star beasts.”

Fei Chu was impressed by this unit of measurement, and couldn’t help but loudly ask, “How many of these damned things are there?”

“Weren’t there only nine left at the start?”

In the fierce wind, Shi Xing shouted, “We’ve almost dealt with nine ourselves.”

“I don’t dare to let my mental power spread out, why don’t you try?”

Shi Xing’s mental power was severely leaking; if he spread it out, it would expose their position.

Fei Chu tried, but he couldn’t spread his mental power at all.

He could feel a resistance; his mental power couldn’t get through. Shi Xing heard this and decisively said, “It’s the red mist.”

Only that kind of talent could isolate energy!

So, if they wanted to know how many star beasts there were, they had to go to the mountain top.

Watching several star beasts lose their heads, Fei Chu, who had never seen a horror film, thought as long as it didn’t harm his heart too much, he could bear it.

Shi Xing murmured, “Can I do that too later?”

“Using mental power to smash the heads of all the star beasts?”

Shi Xing could clearly feel he was different now.

He couldn’t specify how.

But in terms of using his abilities, he was more flexible.

In the past, to obliterate a body, he had to absorb all the mental power from the body and take the beast core away, but now, as soon as he could sense the flowing mental power in the star beast’s body, he could destroy this part of its structure.

With tears in his eyes, Fei Chu said, “Xing Xing, you’re amazing!”

There seemed to be no other way.

If they couldn’t beat them, it was alright to cripple them first and then deal with them.

Fei Chu, Shi Xing, and Chi Yao together with a small team reached the mountain top almost simultaneously. At the moment they arrived, everyone went silent.

The guardian ship activated by Ye Jun surrounded them in layers, establishing a protective barrier, but…

That was no longer important.

Because there were too many star beasts.

Looking at the night sky, dozens, even hundreds of star beasts floated in mid-air, looking down at them.

In that moment, Fei Chu felt the insignificance of humanity.

Chi Yao pulled Shi Xing to his side; Shi Xing, who didn’t know when he had opened his mouth slightly, was deeply shocked by the scene before him.

Shi Xing was sure, “It’s the mutated star beasts that have arrived.”

“Among them, there are those with spatial abilities; they must have opened a spatial passage in the reverse.”

Otherwise, they couldn’t have arrived here so quickly.

In other words, if they toughened it out before the backup arrived, they were likely to be completely wiped out.

“Your Highness, Young Highness, we’re here.”

The team led by Yi Zhenqiang below was still calling out.

“Don’t come.”

“Don’t come!”

Chi Yao and Shi Xing spoke simultaneously.

They exchanged glances, and to Chi Yao’s surprise, Shi Xing said, “Which one is the leader? Don’t attack; we can discuss what we need.”

It was a special energy fluctuation that could communicate with the star beasts.

What Shi Xing said resonated with the energy waves, and as Chi Yao understood, the star beasts also understood.

A brown star beast flew out from the group and reached the front.

The sounds of battle continued to come from below.

Shi Xing shouted, “Let the star beasts below come up; otherwise, I’d rather die fighting with the team than satisfy any of your conditions.”

Shi Xing continued, “You’ve been looking for a powerful Blue Star human like me for a long time, right?”

“I haven’t even reached maturity yet; if I get hurt and die halfway, how can you report back?”

“To your king beast, right?!”

Upon hearing Shi Xing’s words, the brown star beast indeed spoke, “All star beasts retreat and gather in the air.”

Behind it, a dozen more star beasts rose into the air, merging like water droplets into the star beast group in front.

Chi Yao tightened his grip, but Shi Xing made a sign in his palm.

Knowing something, Chi Yao relaxed his body again.

“We should move a bit forward,” Shi Xing whispered to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao nodded and took Shi Xing two steps forward.

At the same time, Shi Xing released a barrier, pushing back all star beasts except the brown one, but the barrier quickly disappeared.

It only separated the two sides.

The brown star beast sensed this but said nothing more.

It still quietly watched Shi Xing.

Shi Xing was familiar with this feeling, just like when he “communicated” with the white star beast; it was an air of arrogance.

Ye Jun, Ying Geng, and Yi Zhenqiang’s teams also made it to the mountain top, gathering behind Chi Yao and Shi Xing.

Seeing the number of star beasts in the air, everyone instinctively gasped.

Too many; in comparison to their team’s numbers, it was absolutely overwhelming.

The brown star beast spoke, “Is this enough? If you retreat any further, you’ll be too far away.”

Shi Xing nodded, “Okay.”

The brown star beast didn’t land and got straight to the point, “057 has already told you, I want you to come with us.”

Shi Xing asked, “Why me?”

The brown star beast replied, “You have that capability.”

Shi Xing questioned, “What do you want me to do?”

The brown star beast answered, “You’ll know once you go.”

Still not revealing anything.

Shi Xing didn’t play coy, nor did he bargain like with the white star beast. Instead, he said, “Alright, but let my companions go, and give me and my companions some time to say goodbye.”

“There are so many of you; even if we resist, it would be futile.”

“If you don’t let my companions go, I’d rather die together with them.”

The brown star beast pondered briefly and seemed to sigh, saying, “Humans.”

Then it casually said, “Alright.”

Shi Xing nodded; seeing so many star beasts, his body felt a bit weak as he leaned against Chi Yao.

Going back naturally meant discussing a battle plan.

Leaving was impossible.

But Shi Xing didn’t expect that the star beasts didn’t understand human hearts or nature; the trick that had worked once could work a second time.

Shi Xing asked, “How many star beasts are there?”

Ye Jun provided a desperate number, “113.”

Shi Xing took a deep breath and exhaled.

Shi Xing said, “I just discussed with Fei Chu; here’s the plan: I’ll use my ability to smash their heads, then they’ll have no mental capabilities. Then, everyone can focus on killing the heart and extracting the beast cores, is that acceptable?”

Those who came up next were already fully armed, and those who could enter the battleship had all boarded.

While Shi Xing spoke, Chi Yao didn’t respond.

After the plan, battle formation, and signaling were arranged, Chi Yao deeply examined Shi Xing’s eyes and asked, “Can you smash so many heads at once?”

Shi Xing forced a smile; his mental sea was now active to an unbelievable degree.

But he wouldn’t tell Chi Yao.

He didn’t want the other party to worry.

Shi Xing’s lips opened and closed several times before suddenly saying, “Otherwise, you can just hand me over to them…”

Actually, that was the safest method.

But the next moment, Chi Yao delivered a light smack to his forehead, which hurt.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Shi Xing covered his head and let out a wail, instinctively giving Chi Yao a ….

Seeing Chi Yao’s unusually serious expression, he knew the other wouldn’t consider it.

Determined to pursue their battle plan, Shi Xing for the first time avoided making Chi Yao angry and obediently agreed, “Okay.”

Chi Yao asked about Shi Xing’s ability once again.

Shi Xing replied truthfully, “I feel I can do it, but I’m not certain. Let’s give it a try.”

Chi Yao wanted to say something more, but Shi Xing’s next sentence cut him off.

Shi Xing said, “Dying together can be quite romantic.”

He repeated something Chi Yao had said before.

After all, in such a situation, the worst that could happen was just death.

Their eyes locked, Chi Yao shook his head and smiled.

Shi Xing didn’t understand how Chi Yao could still smile at this moment.

But as Chi Yao smiled, Shi Xing couldn’t help but smile back.

Chi Yao said, “Right, let’s go with that.”

With so many star beasts, if something happened to Shi Xing, neither of the four groups would manage to leave alive.

In a sense, it was quite fitting.

Everyone boarded the battleship; thanks to his talent enhancement, Chi Yao didn’t have to.

A few minutes later, Shi Xing stood alone before the star beasts, “Do you need me to board a battleship?”

“No need. We’ve prepared a flying device for you; you don’t have to carry anything.”

That… seemed fine.

“Then how do I leave now?”

The brown star beast glanced back, and a black star beast stepped forward, “Ride it with us to get the flying device.”

“On this planet?”

“Not here, but we can briefly traverse in the universe.”

Shi Xing was startled; this meant there were plenty of high-level mutated star beasts in this group, and some could actually take him across the universe for a short time.

Oh, of course, it also could mean reopening spatial abilities.

As he thought about it, he indeed saw numerous white star beasts within the group.

Shi Xing nodded; the black star beast was about to land, but Shi Xing refused. He used Chi Yao’s talent ability to rise into the air.

While thinking about what to do next, his fingers involuntarily trembled slightly.

When he was halfway in the air, just before arriving in front of the brown star beast, a loud shout came from behind him, “Now.”

Shi Xing’s body had long been prepared; at the instant he heard it, he raised his hand.

The star beast herd panicked, but it was too late.

With his mental sea at its most active, the energy that erupted was greater than ever before. As the brown star beast in front disintegrated, Shi Xing only managed to control a minuscule aspect of energy by mistake; he had never practiced large-scale operations.

But time no longer allowed him to think.

Faced with all the rushing star beasts, the tension in Shi Xing’s mind’s strings snapped, and without any hesitation, he immediately released all his mental power, no longer controlling how many star beasts he absorbed.

He heard someone calling his name from behind, but it felt distant.

Energy gathered towards him like a storm; Shi Xing couldn’t let it go, nor could he yield.

Behind him were his team, his people, and… his lover.

He couldn’t back down.

At the moment this thought echoed in his mind, Shi Xing unleashed even more mental power, the chaotic energy joyfully clinging to every inch of his mental power as it rushed towards the star beasts.

The star beasts before him evidently became agitated, and they immediately launched their attack.

The mental power, under the effect of the talent energy, transformed into a blinding white light, surging towards Shi Xing in an almost overwhelming wave.

Shi Xing’s first reaction was to release a barrier backward.

His sudden barrier toppled everyone; caught off guard and due to the high level and speed, everyone was flung down the mountain by the impact.

“Shi Xing!”

When Chi Yao called out his name, it was hard to tell if there was more rage or more pain.

But Shi Xing could no longer hear it. In his eyes, within the high-density energy field, everything twisted and deformed.

Everything seemed to play in slow motion again as it had when he died.

The tidal wave of mental power surged forth, forming white light that struck within the range of his mental power.

So much mental power hit Shi Xing like a wave, making him tilt his head back slightly.

Was it about to end?

But he hadn’t passed maturity yet.

He hadn’t lived enough through this beautiful life.

The crystal fruits and shellfish he loved in the palace were still being prepared by his attendants, waiting for him.

His companions still needed him to exist as a shield; he couldn’t fall.

Most importantly, his lover… was still waiting for him to return.

Your Highness…

Your Highness.

Unconsciously murmuring Chi Yao’s title, a soft female voice suddenly echoed from nowhere, the same voice from Shi Xing’s dreams.

—“There’s nothing I can give you, but let me give you one sentence.”

—“Never be afraid of your own abilities at any moment.”

Could his abilities still improve?

He needed to grow stronger.

At the moment this thought arose, Shi Xing finally sensed something within his mental sea that was being intercepted; it seemed he could control it, a chaotic energy storm that clung to his mental power.

This part of the storm, under his intention, shrank within his mental sea and dared not go out.

Shi Xing seemed to be able to control the mist on the outer layer of his mental sea.

This was a direction of control he had never envisioned or tried before.

When he withdrew the mist, he felt something surge out of his body, unstoppable.

It was the mist that obstructed the chaotic flow!

And everything, those incessant thoughts in his head, regrets, and the release of chaotic energy, all happened at the moment he was slightly pushed back by the mental assault of the star beasts.

In the next moment, he instinctively moved forward, seeing the attacks striking his released mental power dissipating completely.

The star beasts he touched with his mental power began to dissolve like snow melting into energy particles, rushing towards his body.

Chi Yao, lifting Fei Chu, saw this scene.

Hundreds of star beasts melted and vanished like wax candles heated by a flame, regardless of how close or distant they were from Shi Xing.

At the same time, at that moment, they dissolved and perished.

Chi Yao’s first reaction was to charge forward, but he was tightly held back by Fei Chu, “Don’t go!”

With just this one blocking, the star beasts were erased like sand drawings blown away by the wind.

The energy surged and churned in the space, too familiar yet too foreign.

Familiar because Shi Xing had achieved it before.

Strange because all the energy surged toward Shi Xing, forming a gigantic energy field of unprecedented scale and level.

They couldn’t even get close; maintaining their positions without being flung away was already a limit.

Energy swept up dust and stones, and everyone activated their barriers, including Fei Chu.

The energy field distorted their view, but they could barely see Shi Xing’s figure.

In the eye of the storm.

And within Shi Xing’s vision, all the energy forming white light rushed towards his body. He… should not be able to absorb so much energy.

But he couldn’t control it.

He couldn’t stop the car; it was out of control, and he could only watch this process unfold.

Before all the energy converged, Shi Xing glanced back and saw Fei Chu blocking Chi Yao; he felt relieved.

In the next instant, the white light began to engulf his body.

Shi Xing saw his hands, disintegrating slightly from the fingertips.

It wouldn’t be long before his body would be like this too.

Shi Xing thought.

He didn’t want to see this scene, so he closed his eyes.

Yet he did not feel any pain; another sensation came as someone suddenly patted him lightly from behind.

“You’ve finally returned; although it was just a blink for me, it must have been a long time for you, right?”

Shi Xing was stunned, opening his eyes to see… the priestess from Blue Star in his dreams.

The stunning woman.

He…

Seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking. The priestess smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry; this isn’t a dream; it’s real.”

“But your body cannot follow the laws of time, especially using such high-dimensional laws, so although you’ve passed this period, you can only exist in the form of energy during this time.”

Shi Xing looked at his hands, oh right, this was the perspective of his talent ability.

“Priestess sister!”

The child in his dream called out again, hugging the priestess’s leg.

Looking down, this time Shi Xing clearly saw and finally understood what had shocked him in the dream.

This child was also an energy entity.

Shi Xing raised his head again; the Blue Star before him and everything bizarre he saw in his dream were perfectly consistent.

So, the dream he saw, the dream-like colors of the air, were actually floating in the air, continuously and rapidly traversing energies.
