In a cosmic space composed of crystals, two rays of light, one gold and one silver and one blue, were constantly flashing intertwined.

Every time the two rays of light intersected, a halo of white and gold intersected would erupt.

The energy emitted by each halo was enough to make the detectors of the most advanced warships sound a piercing warning.

The surging energy turned into a shockwave that blasted the surrounding crystals into pieces, and the shattered crystals reflected more light, making the airspace even more colorful.

Suddenly, the golden streamer seemed to have fallen into disadvantage in the confrontation with the other party, and after a stagger, it was forcibly changed its trajectory and crashed straight into a crystal as huge as a mountain.

After smashing multiple crystal mountain ranges, Yi finally forcibly stopped his body, he pulled his body out of a crystal mountain range that had been torn apart expressionlessly, ignoring his completely twisted arms, and staring at Zheng Shu who had reappeared on the opposite side with his eyes.

His twisted arms healed as quickly as if he had gone back in time, and as he looked at the many crystal shards scattered around him, he raised his hands and feet in a strange pose.

His feet are folded together, his toes are down, his calves are as close to his thighs as possible, and his hands and arms are spread out in a certain arc, as if he is holding something out of thin air.

With this strange pose, the momentum on his body increased again.

The surging golden energy erupted from the body, completely blasting the crystals around the body away, creating a real vacuum in this space in a short period of time.

In the distance, Zheng Shu's appearance also changed slightly.

Compared to what he looked like a human-like spider after using Aort's enhanced template, he now resembles a human in eerie armor.

Although it is still over forty meters in size, it at least does not have as many arthropods, and although its body is still covered with blue-green hedron and thorn-like spikes, the overall shape looks at least that of a human.

The four sturdiest limbs turned into hands and feet, but the arms still had silver-white carapaces like long knives.

The image of Ault initially looks like a large spider carrying a UFO on its back, but in fact the UFO is the main body, and the spider is just its metabolic.

Therefore, the principle of Zheng Shu changing his image is very simple, just to reshape the metabolic keratin into a new shape.

Although the loss of more limbs from a combat perspective represents a decline in combat power, for Zheng Shu, it means that he has a more delicate control over Aort's power.

And the reason why Zheng Shu was able to do these things was also thanks to the pressure he had given him in the previous battle, which allowed him to quickly and completely grasp the power of Oort.

Although Zheng Shu had also used the power of Oult to fight with all his might for several years when he was in the Moon World, he was completely dominated by instinct at that time, and he was not at all unable to carefully appreciate and control the power.

Previously, it was more of a one-sided slaughter than a battle with the fleet.

It was only this enemy who gave him great pressure that Zheng Shu was able to improve rapidly under the pressure of a strong enemy.

However, it is obvious that with Zheng Shu's strength increasing rapidly, Yi is now a little unable to keep up with the growth of his strength.

Feeling the rapidly increasing power on his body, the carapace on Zheng Shu's head, which was probably the location of his mouth, automatically cracked, as if he opened his mouth and let out a silent mockery.

Immediately, more instant noodles were summoned into his body by Zheng Shu, and the blue light on his body skyrocketed, and his body seemed to suddenly increase in size.

The terrifying momentum almost filled the entire space, and the figure turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the distant one again.

Not to be outdone, Zheng Shu, who was rushing over, snorted coldly, and his body suddenly charged forward.

Zheng Shu still maintained the principle of not dodging or dodging Yi's attack, and the two long knives condensed from the carapace in his hand were sharp, aiming at Yi's head and slashing it without hesitation.

Crunch......

The piercing distortion sound reached Zheng Shu's ears along the carapace.

Yi's two hands suddenly opened, and the golden energy flowing on them added another layer of protection to his hands, and he grabbed the two long knives that Zheng Shu stabbed over, allowing the palms and golden energy to be torn apart, and looked at Zheng Shu's face with a smug smile.

"Got you......"

One's feet popped out suddenly, as if he wanted to suppress Zheng Shu's whole person under him.

Feeling the power condensed on the opponent's feet that was several times stronger than before, Zheng Shu knew very well that if this blow kicked him, it was really possible to penetrate his current body.

So his hands pulled back, and the carapace that grew on his arm like a long knife automatically broke away from Zheng Shu's body.

"What......"

Feeling that the power on his hands was empty, he suddenly discovered the problem, but before he could make adjustments, Zheng Shu had already clenched his hands into fists and slammed down on his face.

Rumble!!!

The blue-white power-covered fist collided with the golden energy that automatically covered the face, and even the space between the two sides appeared unnaturally distorted, and the energy shock wave exploded almost like a substance, and both of them involuntarily retreated under the violent anti-shock force.

Zheng Shu's body length was far more than the size of one's body, and he took advantage of it at this time.

It wasn't until his two rounds of attacks were finished, the two sides retreated from each other for several kilometers, and the attack of one did not fall on him.

The whole head turned into a puddle of mud and undoubtedly fell into a state of distraction, the momentum on Zheng Shu's body skyrocketed again, taking advantage of this opportunity to move forward quickly, and the whole person appeared in front of Yi like a streamer.

The originally sturdy carapace flowed like flowing water under Zheng Shu's will, and quickly extended a huge blade on his arms again.

Airplanes......

The energy gathered on the blade was even enough to resonate with the surrounding matter, and the white sword light slashed horizontally, distorting the space, and slashing down with unrivaled might.

"You ......"

With Zheng Shu's speed, by the time he rushed in front of him, even One's terrifying self-healing ability had only healed less than half of his brain.

Looking at the sword light with the will to destroy, the eye that had just regenerated only hesitated and showed a determined look.

He very simply ignored Zheng Shu's long knife that slashed at his body, clenched his fists, and hammered Zheng Shu's head without hesitation.

Sizzle......

Because of the difference in size between the two sides, the blades of Zheng Shu's hands first touched Yi's body.

Slightly to Zheng Shu's surprise, Yi's body did not burst out with any golden energy to defend at all.

The sharp blade tore through his skin, and the sharp blade sliced a body as hard as metal in half without delay, and even a wriggling intestine could be seen through the face.

Yiyi, who had been prepared for this, didn't care about his injuries at all, and after his body was split in two, he didn't hesitate to use his erupting blood as a thruster, and took advantage of Zheng Shu's empty door to quickly approach his head.

The golden light with such high energy intensity that it seemed to be like a substance wrapped around his fists, making his fists seem to be a few times bigger, and he struck Zheng Shushu's huge head with a double peak.

Rumble!

A huge energy shockwave erupted in Zheng Shu's head, and the excessive energy even replaced the air, as a medium for sound propagation, transmitting the deafening hammer sound.

Under the explosion of the power of one, Zheng Shu's body sank slightly, and hit the crystal peak that looked like a majestic mountain below him.

The place where the soles of his feet touched the crystal exploded, and the entire crystal mountain range cracked one after another.

"How is that possible?!"

In the midst of this lightning and fire, Ichi's head was finally repaired, but the first words he uttered were a cry of disbelief.

Feeling the shock coming back from his already twisted fists, and the appearance of the crystal mountain below, Yi was still a little incredulous.

This crystal peak seemed to have cracked quite miserably, but this change was too small for Ichi, and he expected that this mountain made entirely of crystal would at least be blasted to pieces by the surging force.

This meant that most of the power he released was forcibly endured by Zheng Shu with his own body, leaving only an extremely subtle aftermath to spread around.

Of course, this is not because Zheng Shu feels sorry for the surrounding environment, the only reason that can be explained clearly is that this all-out attack of his own is no longer dangerous for the monster in front of him.

Zheng Shu relied on his strong body and sturdy carapace to directly resist his full blow!

No! It can't be regarded as a hard carry! This can even be called ignorance!

As the light of energy dissipated, Zheng Shu's head was also revealed in front of Yi's eyes.

The only damage he suffered was a tiny crack where the two fists and the carapace on both sides of his face met.

Zheng Shu raised his head slightly, his eyes shining with faint blue flames stared coldly at the immortal in front of him, and his tone was calm:

"That's it?"

Before he could dodge, he felt that the danger was approaching, and he could only gather all the energy in his body in front of him to form a golden protective barrier.

Click!

The clear sound of shattering followed the energy into Ichi's ears, and he felt a pain in his body, and then the whole person was blown away.

This time, Zheng Shu inflicted far more damage on him than before, and it took him a long time to recover from the damage from his previous attack.

When he noticed the situation on his body, he couldn't help but fall silent: the body that had just grown had become tattered again, especially the flesh and blood in his waist and abdomen had been completely blown away, leaving only the spine full of cracks still barely supporting.

Obviously, he used all his strength to create a protective barrier before this, but his body was still injured at this level, which means that if he is not careful, his whole person may be beaten into pulp?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little chilly, although he wouldn't die even if he was beaten into a pulp, but the next battle basically had the possibility of turning the tables.

However, in addition to the fleeting fear in his heart, he was more puzzled: "Why is this happening?" ”

"Are you curious about my growing strength?"

Zheng Shu's mental fluctuations reached his mind, and before he could react, Zheng Shu's next round of attacks had already arrived.

In a hurry, he hurriedly responded, but he was still easily defeated by Zheng Shu's defense, and flew out again.

Seeing that his limbs had also turned into flesh and the immortal who was sticking to a large piece of crystal in the distance with a "snap", Zheng Shu did not rush to continue the attack, but slowly floated in front of his eyes.

"It's not easy, after fighting for so long, I finally figured out your weird protective effect completely."

Seeing that the limbs and flesh on his body were about to heal quickly, Zheng Shu casually slashed out a few knives, cut off his limbs, and kicked him aside to let him continue to regenerate.

"Ling...... How could it be that the power suddenly became so strong?! ”

His limbs were cut off, and he didn't even frown, as if the limbs that were cut off were not his own, he just stared at Zheng Shu tightly, a little incomprehensible.

At the beginning, the battle between the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, even if the situation between the two sides changed later because Zheng Shu was constantly familiar with the strength during the battle, but Yi was only slightly at a disadvantage.

But just now, the opponent's strength suddenly became much stronger.

Attack and defense seem to raise a level out of thin air, suddenly shattering the balance of battle between the two sides.

"My power? No, after fighting for so long, although the lower limit of my strength has increased, the peak has not changed. Zheng Shu replied very "honestly".

"If you don't want to answer, forget it, why bother looking for a reason that is so easy to be exposed." One scoffed at Zheng Shu's statement.

"I really didn't lie to you, didn't you listen to what I just said? I've figured out that inexplicable protection of yours. ”

Zheng Shu is not in a hurry to kill him now, but just floats in the universe with him and chats about the sky, as if the two of them are friends who have not seen each other for many years - it would be better if Zheng Shu didn't say a few words and cut off all the hands and feet that the other party had just regenerated.

"That's even more unlikely!" The disdain on his face was even more obvious, "If you don't become an immortal, how can you figure out what this thing is, let alone crack this ability, but even I can't remove the power myself." ”

"It's nothing more than world shelter or something...... Ah, I just got it, but if you know the truth about that kind of protection on your own, you should know what I mean. ”

Hearing this, Yi really fell silent.

"I said why my attack force was spread so much in the first place, I see.

When I fought with you, I was repelled by this world every moment, and although the strength of the rejection was not worth mentioning compared to the whole world, it was enough to disperse most of my strength.

Including your attacks, too, although you can't affect me, you can influence your own attacks, and let the world help you increase the power of your attacks by a certain multiplier. ”

Zheng Shu poked one of his fingers at Yi, as if carefully appreciating the power emanating from him.

Feeling the power on his fingers being quickly dispersed, even if he had already thought of a way to crack it, Zheng Shu couldn't help but be amazed.

"It's really a magical power, even if I used the mysterious countermeasure technology before, I could only cancel out part of the effect, and if I changed to someone else, I'm afraid there would really be no way to deal with it.

But thanks to you, I've finally figured out what the essence of the so-called 'immortals' is. ”
