Chapter 158 : God-Abandoned Domain
The energy level around Wu Ye surged dramatically. Chen Sui was the first to notice, but in the space energy confrontation, as Wu Ye gathered energy, the space around her was completely sealed.
When Wu Ye's energy impact erupted, Chen Sui's mecha was directly thrown to the ground.
The mecha's impact caused a burst of sparks. Song Baining, quick with her hands and eyes, had already prepared to receive her. The Water Dragon moved, water columns circling around several times, stopping Chen Sui from the ground. The water flow entered behind her, lifting the mecha from the ground.
The Water Dragon lifted Song Baining from the ground. Chen Sui sensed she seemed to have something to say, so she extended the mecha's hand. Song Baining jumped into her palm, her voice transmitted into the cockpit through the mecha's audio.
Chen Sui looked toward Wu Ye's position. The ram-man stood in midair, with ripples radiating from the surrounding space. Invisible energy, carrying a suffocating pressure, surged toward Wu Ye's body. White vortices gradually gathered in their black, hollow eye sockets.
"No time, I'll keep it brief."
Song Baining looked at Chen Sui, explaining at an extremely fast pace: "Wu Ye is gathering energy from the entire God-Abandoned Domain. This is a good opportunity."
Chen Sui hadn't yet understood her meaning, but Song Baining had no time to answer her surprise. "Wood-Born Flower sought you as a host, the energy crystal is with you. When Wu Ye realized they couldn't extract the energy crystal from your mental domain, they would adopt a second method."
"To infuse the energy of the entire God-Abandoned Domain into your mental domain, destroying the mental domain while stimulating Wood-Born Flower's energy crystal, half-awakening Wood God. Wood God will reclaim its energy crystal—this is our opportunity."
From the moment she mentioned parasitism, Chen Sui's surprise was unmistakable. But she wasn't foolish and knew Song Baining must possess more information, so she listened very seriously to what followed, only expressing her doubt when she paused: "Wood God? Hasn't Wood-Born Flower already descended? Isn't it the main energy body of Flower Cloud Dream?"
"It's not that simple," Song Baining sighed. If she hadn't been trapped in the God-Abandoned Domain for ten years, transmitted to various energy fields by Wu Ye's space energy, she wouldn't know so much. "Since Flower Cloud Dream formed, no one has seen Wood-Born Flower's appearance. Energy bodies call it Wood God because Wood-Born Flower is the power connecting the fracture. It brought the fracture into the Star Alliance. All wood attribute energy in the Star Alliance, including plants, are its anchor points. If I'm not mistaken, with the God-Abandoned Domain in this state, the outside world must also be caught in an energy riot. This riot is enough to transform normal areas of the Star Alliance into high energy level areas. This is the quasi-fracture effect caused by Wood-Born Flower's anchor points."
"And once Wood-Born Flower descends, this quasi-fracture effect will become a real fracture."
Countless fractures appearing in the Star Alliance—Chen Sui dared not imagine the consequences. At that point, the Star Alliance would truly become a paradise for energy bodies.
"So, we must completely resolve Wood-Born Flower, organize its descent."
Song Baining, seemingly afraid her words lacked credibility, took a breath and introduced herself: "Judging by your mecha, you're a military school student, from Zhu Jing Fu?"
"Let me introduce myself: Border Army number 175451, name Song Baining. To put it more grandly, you should have heard of me. I swear by the honor of the Border Army, everything is true."
"I know you, Director Song," Chen Sui nodded. "I believe your information. To eliminate Wood-Born Flower, what should we do?"
"Wood-Born Flower differs from any energy body we know. It possesses unimaginable power that no one can counter. We can only destroy its body and assimilate its energy crystal before it fully descends."
Song Baining explained: "Wu Ye brings energy from the entire God-Abandoned Domain, capable of creating spatial chaos. This is a good opportunity to find Wood-Born Flower. Now, go to the main base station, get the fracture fragment as an anchor point, and you can lock onto Wood-Born Flower's position in the spatial chaos."
At this point, Song Baining paused. She looked at Chen Sui. Separated by the mecha, she didn't know what kind of person sat in the cockpit. This military school student somehow reminded her of familiar shadows. Song Baining wasn't sure if she could complete this mission. Entrusting the safety of the entire Star Alliance to a child seemed too ridiculous—no one would expect Director Song to do such a thing.
But this was precisely the only way.
When she saw Red General descend, something in Song Baining's heart told her to trust her.
Besides her, no one else could do it.
She was the owner of Zhu Jing Stone, recognized by Master Jin.
Based on this alone, Song Baining was willing to stake everything on Chen Sui. But—
"Student, this process is very difficult, and at any step, you will be extremely close to death."
As a Border Army member guarding the Star Alliance, Song Baining hoped Chen Sui could succeed. But as an elder, she inevitably felt pity.
The military school student was probably around the same age as her child. She could hardly imagine how painful it would be from the perspective of this military school student's parents.
But Chen Sui clearly couldn't empathize with her psychology. After Song Baining finished speaking, she was silent for only a few seconds, her gaze still observing Wu Ye's energy-gathering progress.
When Chen Sui looked down, she said only two sentences.
"No need to go to the main base station, I have a fracture fragment on me."
"Seventh Military School team analyst, Chen Sui, responding to complete the mission, not failing the duty."
Song Baining was stunned for a moment, then felt Chen Sui seemingly placing her down to the ground.
She looked up. The military school student gripped the scarlet spear, swirling it like dancing flames. Her gaze fixed on the immensely powerful spatial pressure in midair.
"Director Song, I'll transfer you near the main base station."
Chen Sui nodded to her. Around her, space energy was gathering, while simultaneously, the shadow of the Wood-Born Flower giant tree became increasingly transparent. As Wu Ye's tentacles began to churn, the giant tree completely disappeared into light.
In its place was the increasingly rising high pressure of energy around the mecha, contending with Wu Ye's energy in midair.
But how vast was the God-Abandoned Domain? The core crystal energy carried by Red General, faced with the energy of the entire energy field, was like an ant trying to shake a tree—insignificant.
Wu Ye completed energy gathering. Their palms opened to both sides, eye sockets now pure white. Chen Sui felt the space around her closing in, the pressure imminent.
She turned back, swinging the spear behind her. The gathered energy surged from behind, rushing straight toward Song Baining.
Space enveloped Song Baining's voice, erasing her figure.
Simultaneously, Wu Ye's energy directly rushed into Chen Sui's mental domain.
The ram-person tilted their head, a puzzled expression appearing on their face, as if wondering why, after so many obstructions, this time they entered Chen Sui's mental domain so easily.
Chen Sui didn't block it. Wood-Born Flower's energy crystal rotated in her mental domain, frantically devouring the energy Wu Ye infused. Enduring the intense pain of invasion in her mental domain, Chen Sui's expression remained unchanged as she drove the mecha toward Wu Ye's position.
Preparing to resolve Wood-Born Flower was one thing; she hadn't forgotten about killing Wu Ye.
With all energy pouring into Chen Sui, Wu Ye hadn't expected someone to still maintain combat ability under such high energy pressure. Thus, when Chen Sui rapidly approached and reached their front, the ram-person was somewhat surprised.
They had played human for too long; their every move unconsciously carried human characteristics.
Chen Sui's spear stopped at their chest.
Wu Ye looked at the weapon so close at hand but didn't dodge. All energy flooded into Chen Sui's mental domain. Dizziness made it almost impossible for Chen Sui to see clearly in front of her, even forgetting where she was. There was only one extremely strong thought in her mind—thrust forward!
Red General aligned with her thoughts. As the spear blade cut through space energy, Zhu Jing Stone repelled all energy auras, carrying the spear, simply piercing into the energy body's flesh.
Wu Ye looked down at the spear piercing their chest, somewhat perplexed by Chen Sui's persistence.
Knowing full well they had no energy crystal, that any wound could heal quickly—why do something useless?
They truly didn't understand humans.
However, Chen Sui soon answered them.
The sound of the spear breaking through flesh echoed in space. Blood splattered, leaving a dark mark on Wu Ye's armor. Chen Sui's mind, though like porridge, retained a vestige of clarity. She mobilized the surrounding space energy, together with the devoured power of the God-Abandoned Domain. Wood-Born Flower's energy crystal explosively, frantically absorbed the surrounding energy.
Absorbing the area around Wu Ye into a vacuum zone, the energy crystal at the spear tip lit up. Space energy was rapidly transformed by Chen Sui, bursting from the energy crystal.
Countless space energies traversed through Wu Ye's flesh, completely enveloping and dividing the energy at all locations of their body.
Wu Ye's connection with energy was interrupted. They seemed to understand Chen Sui's intention, raised their head to roar in anger, and began to struggle violently. The tentacles on the ground twisted and writhed frantically.
But Chen Sui's reaction was even faster than theirs.
The spear erupted with tremendous space energy, directly packaging the energy inside Wu Ye's body into blocks of crystals. With Forest Envelopment's arm exerting force, blue veins burst on Chen Sui's arm. Red General penetrated Wu Ye's body, directly emerging from their back.
Zhu Jing Stone, unstained by a drop of blood, emerged immaculately, with a transparent crystal embedded at its tip. As this crystal separated, countless crystal pieces, as if connected by an invisible net, were drawn out of Wu Ye's body.
Extremely small crystal blocks detached, and the moment they left Wu Ye's surroundings, they were pulled together by space, gradually merging.
When the last piece left Wu Ye's body, the Wood-Born Flower giant tree's shadow burst behind Chen Sui. The jade green leaves trembled, then began to shake frantically. A continuous rustling sound persisted, devouring the energy of the God-Abandoned Domain like a madman.
Meanwhile, the crystals in Wu Ye's body merged, finally detaching from Red General's tip, falling to the ground.
"Clink, clink, clink..."
After rolling several times, a transparent energy crystal fell on the black slabs of the small town.
And above the small town, a massive vortex surrounded the fluorescent green shadow. Vortices spread across the sky, as if the entire space had been cut.
As Chen Sui took out the fracture fragment from her spatial button, a black fracture opened in midair. A tremendous suction force poured in, directly pulling her into darkness.
The spatial chaos carried unimaginable high pressure. Chen Sui felt she was holding her breath throughout, breathless and disoriented, until streaks of white light appeared before her, while the green light in her mental domain gradually dissipated, and consciousness slowly returned.
