Chapter 1108 - 856: Instance
With the crisp sound of a finger snap, the ripping sound of fabric spread out.
On Huai Shi’s right hand, the sleeve of the spacesuit suddenly ripped apart—countless tiny structures and pivots operated on the semi-organic metal right arm, unfolding its complex framework.
The Casting Furnace: Hands of Prohibition opened the door to the Furnace Heart Ruins.
Immediately, the sound of a tsunami surged out from it.
A deep rumble, akin to an earthquake and a massive tidal wave, spread along with the gale; soon after, an endless flood of blood spouted from every seam of the mechanical right hand.
At first, it was like a burst water pipe, then a leaking fire hydrant, and soon it rivaled a high-pressure water cannon... eventually forming a terrifying torrent hundreds of times more powerful, shooting skyward like a waterfall, indiscriminately spreading in all directions.
Shadows, puppets, monsters, and even the stunned Mahuraga.
No space or opportunity to dodge was left, and in the blink of an eye, they were all engulfed within.
In the writhing scarlet, the texture of flesh quickly emerged; countless slender nerves and blood vessels swayed like seaweed within, attaching to fascia, and then twisted limbs grew swiftly.
Like countless sticky palms, frantically groping towards everything within reach, twitching, death throes, where they passed, rocks and earth grew vein-like patterns as if coming to life.
That was life.
Life out of control, proliferating wildly in an instant.
Within the rolling shadows, the Solidifiers, long made into puppets, froze where they stood; when touched by blood and crawling tendrils, the ashen skin suddenly revealed a hint of living pink and alabaster, and hearts silent for years beat again.
But the limbs began to deform and dissolve rapidly, liquefying, with the remaining skeletons embracing the life torrent, joining it.
Clearly empty shells that had long lost their souls, yet the instincts lingering in the flesh made twisted faces brim with ecstatic smiles.
Life.
Nothing is more precious than life.
But now, Mahuraga could feel an indescribable terror from this unbelievably precious existence.
This is a trap!
A trap of the Element of Destructive!
That guy He Di indeed had betrayed this world’s true master and ruler, the Piper, willingly aligning with the Astronomical Society!
He wanted to kill me first...
Now, the terrifying awareness flashed up his spine into his brain, making him scream in horror.
For across the surging Blood Sea, Huai Shi’s arm lifted towards him.
The surging flesh and blood grew like solidifying wax, instantly into hundreds and thousands of slender eerie tendrils pulling towards him.
The flesh and blood of the Eternal Beast instinctively chased the place with the strongest vitality, seeking the richest depths of the Abyss and disaster, pursuing the Crowned’s position!
Upon the intertwined eerie tendrils, countless nerves and fascia formed an enigmatic pattern, seeming to contain endless mysteries; just a glance could seize all souls, causing an involuntary immersion into a contemplation of life.
Mahuraga roared, shadows dispersed rapidly, like a suddenly scattered swarm of rats, fleeing in all directions.
But the surging Blood Sea had already swallowed and torn the shadows, infusing with vitality, causing countless puppet skeletons to regrow, turning into solemn pillars of bones.
On the Blood Sea, a solemn cathedral outline had begun to emerge faintly.
Just like a cage.
He had nowhere to escape...
The ability to rapidly flee and reassemble to recover through Source Material Transformation couldn’t transcend the surging Blood Sea, forest of bones, and mountain of corpses... infinite gravity spread from within, pulling on his long-solidified soul.
Meanwhile, tendrils had tightly entwined around his body, no matter how fiercely he resisted.
The moment they adhered, the scales melted, merging seamlessly, and started an irreversible transformation, no matter his screams and struggles. The source substance rapidly merged into this distorted vitality, causing it to expand rapidly, accelerating the erosion inversely.
Undergo metamorphosis!
On him, the writhing flesh unfolded wings, like sacred hawks, yet did not fly.
The bones rapidly reorganized, forming a grotesque bull skull, but with no flesh.
The abundant hair gathered, outlined like a lion, roaring silently.
Ultimately, countless flesh and nerves coalesced into a human face shape, yet without eyes.
Four grotesque creatures rooted within Mahuraga’s Stigma, drawing his strength, growing rapidly, devouring his existence voraciously.
"No... don’t... stop..."
In just a moment, Mahuraga completely dissolved, leaving only a wretched skeleton crawling arduously, wailing and praying incessantly.
Dragging his half-dissolved body at all costs, he crawled to the edge of the Blood Sea, freedom almost within reach.
The next instant, from the endless Blood Sea, lightning burst forth once more.
Exhausting all of Huai Shi’s source substance, on the Resentment Water, strands of scorching flames lit up again, violently surging.
Then, with all his might.
Amidst Huai Shi’s roar, breaking through the space!
A bright light flashed and vanished, piercing through the Blood Sea and Corpse Mountain, tearing the bone forest, passing through the gaps between the four creatures, and then, smashing his form, nailing him firmly to the ground.
