The First Analyst of the Interstellar Era

Chapter 156 : God-Abandoned Domain

Chen Sui sensed another energy fluctuation, but she had no time to look back. The moment she faced the black mist, she mobilized energy defense. The mecha rotated in place, then propelled violently upward, directly charging toward the gap at the top. Wood-Born Flower vines intertwined layer by layer as they ascended, instantly forming a vine ladder stretching from the ground to the sky.

The black mist hammered against the vine ladder, the outer vines turning to black dust and falling away, while the inner vines lit up with green light, rapidly growing even as they were corroded by the black mist.

While containing the black mist, Chen Sui lowered her gaze to look below.

Not far away, a figure had abruptly appeared, very distinctly dressed in Border Army mission uniform, though the uniform style was somewhat outdated, covered with thick dust and blood stains, looking rather dirty.

Her hand controlling energy, however, was clean, with long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles. Blue water flowed from her fingertips, rushing forward. The extremely thin water flow, the moment it left her palm, suddenly exploded into a thick water column, twisting as it flew, transforming into an open dragon's head just before entering the black mist. A dragon's roar sounded from afar as the Water Dragon crashed into the black mist.

The air instantly became extremely dry, the flow accelerated, temperature suddenly dropping. Cold air covered the mecha's surface, leaving a subtle frost pattern.

Chen Sui's gaze flashed with surprise, but her perception clearly told her that this suddenly appearing powerful force was not her enemy. Water attribute energy below confronted the black mist around Wu Ye. Waves of light swept out, blue energy with frost patterns trapping the black mist within walls of ice. The Water Dragon entered the deepest part, suddenly coiling around Wood-Born Flower's vines, ascending like a dragon winding around a pillar, the dragon's head roaring toward Wu Ye's position.

Blue light exploded like scattered gold. Chen Sui saw that before the Water Dragon dissipated, the energy wrapping the dragon horns disappeared, revealing the gleaming, smooth original form of the dragon horns. Only then did she realize that the Water Dragon before her wasn't energy taking form, but a spirit body.

Water attribute, dragon form spirit body.

In the entire Star Alliance, only one person possessed such a special spirit body form.

A thought storm quickly flashed through Chen Sui's mind, but she had little time for reflection. The space energy she sensed burst from her mental domain, directly shattering the force attempting to invade, breaking open the space cage imprisoning her. Once Forest Envelopment was free, Chen Sui immediately resonated with Wood-Born Flower. The giant tree silhouette once again radiated green light, with vines approaching from all directions of the small town, completely covering the ground, all surging toward Wood-Born Flower's position.

"It's you!"

Wu Ye gently pressed their palm forward, immediately surrounded by an invisible barrier of air. The biting frost passed through their body without any obstruction, flowing to the back without leaving a trace.

The woman in the old-style Border Army uniform looked up, her gaze clear and bright. Seeing Wu Ye's face, she revealed a mocking smile: "Finally decided to change your face, otherwise I'd really want to cut off your head."

Wood-Born Flower vines bent from above. The Water Dragon coiled around them unwound after several circles and separated from the front, rushing toward the woman's body, stopping behind her. Chen Sui descended from midair, landing on the curved node of the vines. Just as she stabilized, she heard the woman's words. The mecha's fingers twitched slightly, suddenly looking toward Wu Ye.

"What right do you have to say such things, a prisoner who will ultimately become nourishment for the energy field..."

Wu Ye, hearing her provocation, was already irritated from being verbally attacked by Chen Sui, and even more annoyed seeing their revered Wood God become a human's pet. Being mocked like this, they directly broke down, glaring at her angrily.

Chen Sui's wrist moved slightly. The spear had been completely destroyed by Wu Ye, and she wasn't quite used to being without a weapon. Chen Sui shook her hand, the mecha charging energy. During Wu Ye's speech interval, she suddenly charged forward.

"So much nonsense."

"No wonder you're the villain."

Song Baining only heard the girl's impatient snort and the evaluation that followed. She was stunned for a second, and in that second, Chen Sui had already approached Wu Ye, the surrounding surging black mist instantly enveloping the mecha's shadow.

"Eh, is this child so hot-tempered?"

Song Baining looked at the frost charging in her hand, not expecting the other to be like her, ready to attack. But the child was somewhat impatient, charging so quickly without any consultation. Otherwise, she could have provided some support.

However—

She looked at the sky-covering black mist, her figure darting out.

It wasn't too late now.

The black mist, carrying strong corrosive power, rushed into the mecha. Chen Sui felt Forest Envelopment being violently attacked everywhere, but she had already charged through, the residual space energy directly dispersing around, locking down the area around Wu Ye.

This space cage, now it was her turn to close it.

Wu Ye sensed the energy change, their face filled with surprise, "That energy crystal was clearly extracted..."

Their voice was extremely faint. Chen Sui, being close to Wu Ye, only heard the general meaning. Upon understanding, her expression darkened.

The energy crystal being stripped away, then parasitized by the energy body, turning into this current state—Chen Sui absolutely hated these energy bodies.

"Didn't I tell you—"

"Don't make that expression with Chen Jia's face!"

Chen Sui's hand directly penetrated Wu Ye's energy barrier. Space energies collided, energy waves violently exploding outward, overturning all the surrounding buildings!

Song Baining's approaching footsteps paused. As the energy impact exploded, the Water Dragon completely enveloped her, like an ice sculpture. Energy gathered, allowing her to survive the impact. She didn't even have time to look back before the Water Dragon retreated, and she rushed toward Wu Ye's position. Water attribute energy rushed into the black mist. In the moment when the black mist temporarily dispersed due to the space energy collision, Song Baining controlled the Water Dragon to enter.

"Freeze, freeze, freeze!"

She somewhat childishly murmured softly, the Water Dragon's energy fluctuation forming a strong contrast with her light tone.

Highly destructive frost spread instantly. The small town seemed covered with a layer of snow, the temperature breaking through its lowest point, instantly covering everything around with a thin layer of ice. Even the black mist in midair was sealed by the frozen air. Chen Sui sensed the energy trajectory. The moment she broke through the space barrier around Wu Ye, the remaining space energy dispersed behind her, completely sealing the black mist, looking like frozen ink, distinctly separate from the surrounding environment.

Seeing this scene, Song Baining's expression showed undisguised surprise.

When she saw Chen Sui controlling wood attribute energy, she already had a premonition. When she witnessed the other using space energy, Song Baining could basically confirm that Chen Sui had opened her space cage, allowing her to emerge from Wu Ye's confinement.

Trapped in the God-Abandoned Domain for ten years, Song Baining had been completely isolated from space. This was the first time she could connect with the outside world.

Her contemplation didn't last long. Soon, a sound of heavy objects colliding reached her ears. Looking up, she saw the mecha grab Wu Ye's body, violently slamming them to the ground. The sound of flesh and blood colliding was extremely loud. Then, she saw her pressing Wu Ye's head, scraping them forward across the ground. Blood marks were dragged out for dozens of meters, the smell of blood instantly exploding outward.

"So violent?"

Song Baining raised an eyebrow. Although she too had thought about pressing Wu Ye to the ground and rubbing them, this action wasn't something just anyone could do.

This guy had been flaunting Xie Liuyun's face in front of her, which was really despicable!

Chen Sui lifted Wu Ye from the ground, seeing their facial features bloodied beyond recognition. She nodded, "You look much better now."

As she spoke, the mecha's fist pounded down on Wu Ye's head, the other hand quickly following. The energy body, like a punching bag, was beaten back repeatedly by her blows.

The sound of fists hitting flesh made Song Baining's heart feel good. She helped resolve the surrounding rioting energy, ensuring Chen Sui wouldn't be disturbed by the energy bodies and energy storms controlled by Wu Ye.

However, Chen Sui's actions weren't purely to vent anger but to explore energy into Wu Ye's body through this method. Her perception wandered, yet her tense nerves didn't relax.

How could it be!

Chen Sui's expression grew serious. Wood-Born Flower energy shot out beams of light, following Chen Sui's position, penetrating Wu Ye's body.

Wu Ye, pierced by energy, their wounds quickly healing, raised their blood-covered face, looking up and frantically shouting: "Wood God!"

While being attacked by Chen Sui, they suddenly let out a wild laugh, their posture particularly strange. When Chen Sui heard their voice, her movements seemed to freeze, the mecha instantly stopping.

Her eyes, locked on Wu Ye's figure, flickered, and she saw the energy body below instantly disappear.

Space rippled, and Wu Ye's figure appeared in midair.

"The human body is unable to bear the energy of evolution!"

Chen Sui heard an unfamiliar voice and struggled to look upward.

Black mist exploded from Wu Ye's body, countless tentacles extending behind them. The human body was torn open, revealing a humanoid creature with a black hard shell inside. It had a huge ram's head, with unnameable plants growing on its coiling black goat horns. Several tentacles extended from the back of its head, its entire body wrapped in a layer of black armor. Like a human, it had four limbs, with layers of extremely long bone blades protruding from its arms. In its eye sockets, there were no eyeballs; the entire head resembled a skull. Black mist poured into its body, filling the empty facial features.

"No one can stop Wood God's descent."

"The starry sea will ultimately become our carnival homeland."

Chen Sui felt the energy coiling layer by layer around her. Space suppression once again sealed her, this time leaving her completely unable to move.

Not far away, Song Baining also felt this force. The frost was shattered by internal energy, countless light blades suddenly appearing in the air, rushing toward the two people's positions. However, just as Song Baining prepared to dodge, she discovered her entire body was fixed in place. She looked down and cursed. After ten years of confrontation, she was quite familiar with some of Wu Ye's methods, so she quickly mobilized her spirit body to guard the surroundings, forming energy collisions as the light blades arrived.

The energy impact knocked her from one space grid into another. However, the space kept changing. Song Baining didn't fly out as she had imagined. Though the energy clearly blasted backward, her body flew forward, directly colliding with Chen Sui's mecha.

Chen Sui reacted quickly. When Wood-Born Flower energy surged out upon collision, the vines were raised by her perception, but were divided by light blades existing in space. Consequently, when she collided with Song Baining, she only had time to wrap her mecha's hand around the other.

Otherwise, with the force of their collision, Song Baining would have been flattened by Forest Envelopment.

"The main energy body group has no energy crystal, don't waste effort looking."

When enclosed in Chen Sui's mecha, Song Baining's voice came through. This news made Chen Sui's entire body shake.

"What!"

Song Baining was somewhat bitter. She took a breath and quickly said: "No energy crystal, they can regenerate infinitely. It's almost impossible to kill the main energy body group."

"Moreover, Wu Ye possesses an extremely special space attribute, the most loyal creation made by Wood God."

"What about the same space energy?"

Chen Sui asked. Time didn't allow them to explain everything clearly to each other, not even a chance to ask about each other's identities. Song Baining and Chen Sui could only speed up their communication.

"You can try, the Star Alliance has never had a space attribute awakened individual fight Wu Ye before."

From Chen Sui's performance, Song Baining could tell that her mastery of space energy wasn't mature, or rather, not natural. This kind of control was different from awakened individuals' borrowing through spirit bodies and core crystals as media. It was a complete transfer separate from oneself. Because it needed 'delivery' transport, there was time lag in energy transmission, causing space energy to require longer charging time, and attack lag.

Realizing this point, Song Baining's expression showed understanding.

Her knowledge of the God-Abandoned Domain and Wu Ye far exceeded anyone in the Star Alliance. Ten years was enough for her to trace all the threads of the energy bodies' plan through several confrontations with Wu Ye.

If her space cage hadn't been broken this time, Song Baining would have almost despaired, not knowing how the Star Alliance could learn about the energy bodies' parasitism plan.

Wood-Born Flower must not descend. The success of the parasitism plan was not only an opportunity for energy bodies but also for the Star Alliance.

"You must kill Wu Ye, don't let them extract your core crystal."

Song Baining's tone was serious.

Chen Sui's movements paused, and she nodded firmly: "I won't let them escape."

From the peripheral star system to the military school league competition arena, her entire goal was to kill this energy body with her own hands.

Chen Sui and Song Baining were completely blasted out. The moment the mecha landed, the surrounding space sealed again. Chen Sui couldn't even open her palm. She struggled a few times, looking somewhat tiredly at the sky, her gaze capturing Wu Ye's figure: "I'm really tired."

As soon as she spoke, the surrounding energy surged toward the mecha's position, rushing directly into Chen Sui's mental domain.

This time, Wu Ye no longer probed but directly compressed space energy into an extremely powerful energy storm.

The energy storm's pressure was particularly powerful. Wood-Born Flower's interception was easily pulverized, the vines completely suppressed by space energy. The vines curling up from the ground were flattened layer by layer, tightly pressed to the ground. Wood-Born Flower giant tree's branches and leaves, sensing the crisis, began to shake violently, the entire giant tree exploding with beams of light, flickering extremely uneasily.

Chen Sui's perception had just extended when it was directly shattered by the energy storm. This energy pouring into her mental domain could instantly destroy it.

Realizing this, Chen Sui's pupils suddenly contracted.

Just as the space energy approached, she abruptly sensed a familiar fluctuation.

Sealed in space, there was no external fighting, only the continuously compressed energy storm, silently approaching.

In this particularly quiet environment, the clanging sound of weapons was especially crisp.

This was a sound Chen Sui knew extremely well.
