Chapter 179 Seizing the Spark Source! Legendary Core Activated!
Garr, the executioner of the abyss, wielded his bone-chopping blade, his massive body causing the ground to tremble with every step he took.
Chen Qi shouted, "Brother Ming, this bastard is bigger than those guards from before!"
Jiang Ming leaned back in his chair: "Stop talking nonsense, let's use machine guns to mow down the enemy, and see how they perform!"
Chen Qi pulled the trigger, and purple-blue lightning poured out.
Garr raised his cleaver to parry, and the machine gun fired at the black armor, creating a burst of sparks.
A chain of thunderstorms raged around Gar, and arcs of electricity tore through the surrounding air.
Gal actually withstood the firepower of three thousand rounds per minute and kept moving forward step by step.
With a 50% reduction in physical damage and the defense of the Abyss Heavy Armor, the Thunderstorm Ripper's machine gun can shatter his outer armor, but it cannot inflict fatal damage.
Gal leaped up suddenly, his massive eight-meter-tall body spanning dozens of meters, and slashed at the kinetic shield of the heavily armored fortress.
boom!
The shield flickered violently, and its durability dropped drastically in an instant.
An invisible wave pierced through the shield and entered the cockpit directly.
Ma Luo and Chen Qi turned pale and groaned as they covered their heads.
A notification sounded in Jiang Ming's mind: [Soul-tearing attack received; Iron Will has been immune.]
"Damn, this knife is weird!"
Marlow gritted his teeth and gripped the joystick tightly.
"Step back, create thirty meters."
Jiang Ming stared at the holographic screen. "Chen Qi, switch to the secondary gun. This 'iron can' has high physical resistance; give it something that alters the laws of physics."
"clear!"
The tank tracks spun wildly backward, sending mud flying everywhere.
The muzzle of the [Abyss Annihilation Gravity Cannon] on the roof of the vehicle was lowered, and dark red magic patterns lit up one by one.
Two black gravity collapse bullets were fired silently.
Just as Garr was about to jump again, the gravity collapse bomb exploded right beneath his feet.
An absolute distortion force field with a radius of thirty meters descended instantly.
Ten times the gravity!
Garr's massive body suddenly sank, his knees slamming heavily onto the altar steps.
Two large craters were smashed into the hard, fleshy steps, and dark purple fluid splattered everywhere.
The cracking sound of his bones breaking under the strain emanated from his body.
But he wasn't crushed into a pulp like the previous Abyssal Guardians.
The soul fire beneath Gal's helmet pulsed wildly, and he braced himself against the force of ten times gravity, slowly managing to stand up, his hands gripping the Bone Cleaver.
"They're still alive?"
Chen Qi's eyes widened. "Ming-ge, is this guy cheating?!"
Jiang Ming squinted, his gaze following Gar's feet.
At the edge of the gravitational field, several thick, dark red blood vessels were connected to Gal's ankle.
These blood vessels continuously draw energy from inside the altar and inject it into Gar's body.
As long as the altar remains, his "immortal body" can infinitely heal his injuries.
"Marlowe, do you see those tubes in his heels?"
Jiang Ming pointed at the screen, "Activate the shield, charge in, and crush the pipe!"
"The gravitational field is still there, boss! We'll get crushed if we drive over there!"
"Go ahead and crash into me!"
Jiang Ming grabbed the [Fire and Thunder Prison], saying, "I'll shut down the gravity field; you just keep crushing it!"
Jiang Ming kicked open the hatch and jumped out.
The wind howled.
Jiang Ming exerted force with both legs, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air.
"Shadow Leap!"
Swish!
Jiang Ming vanished into thin air and reappeared directly above Gar's head the next second.
At this point, the effects of the gravitational field are still ongoing.
As soon as Jiang Ming appeared, a terrifying gravity ten times stronger than normal instantly acted on him.
For an ordinary person, this blow would have crushed all their internal organs.
However, Jiang Ming's current strength is as high as 67 points, and his physique has also been strengthened multiple times.
He groaned, his bones cracking slightly, as he forcefully withstood the pulling force.
"Get down!"
Jiang Ming gripped the giant sword tightly with both hands, and black flames ignited on the blade.
With the terrifying downward speed of ten times gravity, Jiang Ming transformed into a burning black meteorite, crashing straight down on Gar's head.
Garr sensed a deadly threat overhead.
He raised his cleaver to try and block, but the gravitational field severely slowed down his movements.
The greatsword sliced through the black mist on Garr's helmet without any resistance.
The cleaver barely managed to block the blade, bursting out a blinding shower of sparks.
At that moment of stalemate.
Boom!
The heavily armored fortress, carrying violent kinetic energy, plunged headlong into the gravity field.
The front of the car slammed into Garr's calf.
The tracks spun wildly, and the source material tentacles beneath the chassis emerged, severing the dark red blood vessels connecting to Gar's ankle like razors.
Energy supply cut off.
The eerie blue soulfire beneath Garr's helmet suddenly dimmed.
"Chen Qi, open the secondary gun!"
Jiang Ming roared.
The gravitational field vanished instantly.
Jiang Ming felt a lightness all over his body and suddenly exerted force with both hands.
[Fire and Thunder Prison] Overload Mode Activated!
The violent black lightning surged wildly into Garr's body along the sword blade.
Without the energy replenishment from the altar, Garr's "Immortal Body" became completely ineffective.
With a piercing scream, Garr's massive body exploded from the inside, turning into a shower of flesh and black ashes.
[Defeat Abyss Executioner Gar (Lv.40 Warrior) – a level above your own, and gain 18000 experience points!]
[Obtained: The Executioner's Soul-Cutting Blade (Purple Epic).]
[Obtained: The Executioner's Soul-Cutting Blade (Purple Epic).]
[Obtained: Abyss Black Gold Heavy Armor Fragment *5.]
Jiang Ming landed steadily on the ground and casually stuffed the exploded items into his storage ring.
"Well done, boss!"
Marlow shouted into the communications channel.
Jiang Ming ignored him and looked up at the top of the altar.
The blue light enveloping the source of the spark had now become extremely faint.
The system notification sounded frantically in my mind.
[Warning: Fire Source Cube contamination progress: 96%!]
[Complete assimilation is expected in thirty seconds, triggering a dimensional energy explosion!]
"Grass."
Jiang Ming cursed and charged straight towards the top of the altar, sword in hand.
Thirty seconds!
Jiang Ming's leg muscles were taut, and his speed exploded to the extreme.
The steps of the altar were covered with sticky, dark red flesh and blood, and you would sink in with every step.
But this couldn't stop Jiang Ming's sprint at all.
He was like a cheetah in full throttle, leaping over a hundred steps in just a few strides.
The fleshy walls surrounding the altar seemed to sense Jiang Ming's intentions and began to writhe wildly.
More than a dozen tentacles, as thick as buckets, burst from the ground from all directions, lashing out at Jiang Ming with a piercing whooshing sound.
"Get out of here!"
Jiang Ming flipped his left hand, and the [Soul-Binding Black Iron Chains] transformed into a black lightning bolt and lashed out.
The chain taut instantly in mid-air, wrapping around the foremost tentacle.
Jiang Ming used the leverage to pull himself up, thus avoiding the strangulation of the other tentacles.
While in mid-air, he swung out the [Hellfire and Thunder Prison] weapon in his right hand.
Black flames swept across the area.
Several tentacles were cleanly severed, and dark purple acid sprayed out.
Jiang Ming landed steadily on the platform at the very top of the altar.
In the center of the platform, on a fleshy base woven from countless blood vessels, floats the [Fire Source Cube].
At this moment, the silver-blue metallic shell of the source of fire had been corroded and pitted by the dark red abyssal energy.
The blue light was firmly suppressed at its very core.
Pollution progress: 98%!
The black mist from the entire capital basin was converging here, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Without hesitation, Jiang Ming strode forward and grabbed the source of the fire.
The instant his fingers touched the source of the spark, an extremely violent abyssal will surged through his arm and directly into his mind.
It was a pure destructive urge, trying to completely tear his reason apart.
[Extremely lethal mental pollution detected!]
[Iron Will passively triggered... Checking... Check successful! Immune to this contamination!]
Jiang Ming grunted, veins bulging on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fingers tightly, and forcefully ripped the source of the spark from its fleshy base.
The moment the base was torn off, the entire altar let out a piercing scream, as if the heart of some living thing had been ripped out.
"I got it."
Jiang Ming looked at the heavy metal Rubik's Cube in his hand.
[Tinder Cube (Incomplete)]
[Status: Extremely unstable. Contamination progress has been paused; current progress is 98%.]
[WARNING: Purification or energy fusion must be performed within five minutes, otherwise a catastrophic explosion will occur.]
five minutes.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Ming took out two other items from his storage ring.
One of them is an [unknown high-dimensional mechanical core] that was stolen from two thousand meters underground.
The other piece is the [Astral Meteorite] obtained from the treasure vault of the Azure Lion Kingdom.
As soon as these three items were put together, the high-dimensional mechanical core in Jiang Ming's hand emitted an extremely dazzling light.
Its blue spiral pattern seemed to come alive, extending wildly outwards in an attempt to connect to the source of the spark.
"System, synthesize!"
Jiang Ming issued the command in his mind.
[Analyzing the synthesis formula...]
[Main Materials: Spark Source Cube (Fragmented - Golden Legend) + Unknown High-Dimensional Mechanical Core (Fragmented - Golden Legend)]
[Auxiliary Material: Astral Meteorite Iron (Gold Legendary)]
[WARNING: This synthesis is an extremely high-risk cross-dimensional synthesis! It involves a conflict between the fundamental nature of the plane and the laws of higher dimensions.]
Failure rate: 85%!
[If the attempt fails, all the synthetic materials will be destroyed, triggering a spatial collapse within a 50-kilometer radius!]
Jiang Ming looked at the bright red 85% and his lips twitched.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
"Synthesis confirmed!"
Om-! ! !
An indescribable burst of light erupted from the top of the altar.
The light pierced through the black mist that shrouded the capital of the Frosty Winter Kingdom and shot straight into the sky.
Jiang Ming felt a sudden lightness in his hand as the three legendary materials merged into one in the intense light.
The surrounding space began to distort violently, and even tiny black cracks appeared in the air.
That's because the energy generated by the synthesis was so enormous that even the spatial barriers of this plane could barely withstand it.
Jiang Ming stared intently at the center of the intense light.
[Ding! Miracle synthesis triggered!]
Synthesis successful!
[Obtained: Astral Soul - Fire Seed Matrix (Gold - Legendary Module)]
[Type: Tank Core Evolution Module]
[Attribute: Contains an infinite energy matrix and a high-dimensional mechanical will. Can endow mechanical creations with the characteristic of "spark life".]
[Special Effect 1: Mechanical Ascension (Reshapes the current vehicle's base materials to Astral Meteorite, increasing physical and magical resistance to 90%).]
[Special Effect 3: Source Energy Assimilation (Can absorb all forms of energy and convert them into its own power, ignoring any energy depletion).]
Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the ridiculously luxurious control panel.
Mechanical life?
Dual form?
This is like elevating the tank to a whole new level!
Before he could examine it carefully, the altar beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently.
Without the suppression of the source of fire, the abyssal matrix hidden beneath the capital of Winter City went completely berserk.
Rumble!
The ground throughout the city began to collapse on a large scale.
Countless dark red, fleshy tentacles, some over ten meters thick, emerged from the ground and lashed wildly at the surrounding buildings.
"Boss! Something's about to emerge from underground! The radar's all red!"
Marlowe shouted anxiously into the communication channel.
Jiang Ming turned his head to look.
Deep within the capital city, the ground completely cracked open, and a terrifying mountain of flesh, so enormous it defied description, was slowly rising.
The mountain of flesh was covered with countless golden vertical pupils and huge mouths that flowed with acid.
[Abyss Hatching Mother - Thousand-Eyed Flesh Mountain (Lv.55 - Catastrophe-Level Lord)]
This thing is even bigger than the Echidna we encountered on Earth.
"Marlowe, bring the car over here!"
Jiang Ming roared.
The heavy fortress's tracks spun wildly, smashing through the fleshy walls in its path before coming to a stop beneath the altar.
Jiang Ming leaped directly from the hundred-meter-high altar and landed steadily on the roof of the chariot.
He gripped the [Astral Soul - Fire Seed Matrix], which emitted a dazzling blue light, with both hands and slammed it hard onto the main armor of the tank.
"System, module access!"
hum!
The fire matrix melted instantly, turning into countless blue streaks of light that spread wildly along the gaps in the tank's armor.
[Connecting to the Astral Soul...]
[The tank's materials are being remodeled...]
[Warning: The remodeling process requires enormous energy!]
"energy?"
Jiang Ming glanced at the overwhelming abyssal tentacles and the enormous mountain of flesh rising around him, grinned, and said, "The one thing this place has no shortage of is energy."
Beneath the chariot chassis, the originally golden source material whiskers instantly turned into a deep blue-black.
More than a dozen tentacles suddenly plunged into the flesh and blood of the ground.
[Source Power Assimilation] Special Effect Activated!
The abyssal energy within the entire capital basin, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into the chariot's body along its tentacles.
Visibly, the large tentacles and the fleshy structures scattered on the ground began to rapidly wither and turn to ash.
Under the blue light, the original black iron composite armor of the chariot peeled away piece by piece, and was replaced by a flawless astral meteorite iron armor with a dark gold color.
The car body is constantly being lengthened and widened.
The structure of the turret is also undergoing tremendous changes.
Marlowe and Chen Qi were completely dumbfounded as they watched the constantly reassembling metal structure around them from inside the cockpit.
"Ming-ge... is our car coming to life?"
Chen Qi swallowed.
Jiang Ming stood on the roof of the car, feeling the mechanical vibrations, similar to a heartbeat, coming from beneath his feet.
The distant Abyss Mother let out a deafening roar, realizing that its energy was being frantically drained. Hundreds of enormous tentacles crashed down on the chariot like an avalanche.
