I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 300 - 298: The Final Battle (Part 5)
Mingzhen: "The shell of the Innate Holy Body is truly useful. No matter how severe the injury, as long as there is enough Spiritual Energy, it can repair to its original state. How is it like ordinary shells that are so delicate, rotting after a few times?"
Just as Li Xing was about to wield the saber and fight again, Mingzhen raised his head, and a deep howl escaped from his mouth.
Li Xing sensed something amiss and swung her blade towards Mingzhen’s neck, but it was deftly avoided.
After finishing the howl, Mingzhen shot Li Xing a sinister smile and said:
"But I don’t feel like fighting right now, saving energy for the important stuff. Li Xing, if I summon Ye Qingting and the others to fight you, can you bring yourself to hurt them?"
Li Xing met Mingzhen’s gaze with an impassive expression, though the turmoil in her mind was like stormy waves.
She deliberately distanced herself from Ye Qingting and others for fear of the day she confronts Mingzhen, that Mingzhen might use their safety to blackmail her.
The dreadful moment she feared most has come true, Mingzhen really resorted to such nasty tactics!
"Hmph, if I can sacrifice Chu Yunyi, why not those three stupid kids!" Li Xing put on a nonchalant facade, yet sweat already gathered in the palm that held the blade.
Mingzhen sneered, "Tsk tsk, they say the Mingmeng Clan is cruel and heartless, who would’ve thought a human woman like you could be even more cold-hearted? What a pity, that someone like you isn’t of my own clan."
After a pause, Mingzhen continued: "Since you don’t care about their life or death, I’ll have them be the first batch of suicide squad, hahahaha!"
Mingzhen waved his arm, and a giant water mirror suddenly appeared in front of Li Xing. The mirror was divided into thousands of small mirrors, each corresponding to a person parasitized by advanced insect eggs.
"This is just a small portion of my countless puppets, look, aren’t those your friends?"
Li Xing suppressed her anger and looked in the direction Mingzhen pointed, only to see Qi Ming’s panic-stricken face appearing almost simultaneously in two small mirrors.
The background of the scene was Harssas Academy, where countless people in school uniforms were running around in panic, flashes of Elemental Attacks also glimmering.
Facing the small mirrors, Qi Ming’s lips moved as his lip speech made Li Xing’s eye corners crack—he was calling out the names of Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao, the people represented by the mirrors were self-evident.
A blue Ice Dragon suddenly slammed into Qi Ming’s chest, sending him flying, followed closely by a merciless purple Thunder Arrow shot at Qi Ming.
At the critical moment, golden talisman surged, and the Pocket Watch on Qi Ming emitted a hemispherical defensive formation, protecting him within. Qi Lang’s protective talisman array saved Qi Ming’s life.
Blue and purple glows continuously struck the defensive formation, Qi Ming sat dazedly on the ground, staring at the shield, completely unaware of how to retaliate, looking dumbfounded.
The scenes in the other small mirrors were almost identical, all presented from the first-person perspective showing chaos across various places on the Qianyuan Continent.
Mingzhen flicked a finger with satisfaction, causing varying degrees of jostling and movement to appear in the mirror scenes, thousands of manipulated Elemental Spirits and Star Beasts seemingly rapidly moving to designated locations.
Mingzhen pointed at a wild mountain in one of the small mirrors, revealing a smug smile: "There are several weak points in the earth’s crust on Qianyuan Continent, once intensely shaken, the continent will fragment into pieces."
"After shattering, Qianyuan Continent can no longer generate gravity, the atmosphere dissipates, humans, Star Beasts, plants, everything will become cosmic junk, scattered across the stars. I’ve already issued attack orders, and believe those puppets will soon bring me good news!"
Li Xing’s eyes widened in disbelief, saying: "Do you intend to leave Qianyuan Continent to go to another world? Don’t dream about it, cosmic wind is not so easily resisted, even if you have an Innate Holy Body, do your descendants have that?"
Mingzhen snorted derisively, "Descendants? Hah. Those worms may have been born by me, but they’re genetically flawed, weak in physique, vastly different from the true Mingmeng Clan. If it weren’t for my reliance on them to control Qianyuan people and Star Beasts, I would’ve crushed those trash myself long ago to avoid disgracing my clan!"
The Mimeng King Worm is hermaphroditic and can reproduce itself as long as food is ample. Yet due to Chaos Qi, Mingzhen couldn’t birth healthy offspring in Qianyuan Realm; even advanced three-eyed insect eggs, compared to true Mimeng insect eggs, have significant disparities.
Take the surveillance function; genetically flawed insect eggs can only transmit images, not sound, which vexes Mingzhen immensely.
For thousands of years, Mingzhen has tried fixing this bug, even attempting genetic experiments using ancient species like sand snakes, all in vain.
Mingzhen despises his defective offspring but to escape this world and perpetuate his race in other spiritually pure worlds, he must hasten reproduction, birthing numerous inferior three-eyed worms to control humans and Star Beasts to achieve his goal of fragmenting Qianyuan Continent.
"With the shell of the Innate Holy Body, no matter which world I go to, I’ll become a favored child of heaven, with major sects scrambling to recruit me, and spiritual energy and resources of the cultivation world at my beck and call. Once I’ve established myself in another world and birthed genuine Mingmeng Clan descendants, we can once more dominate and crush all you cultivators beneath our feet!"
Li Xing couldn’t listen any longer, Spiritual Energy surged in her Dantian, a blade aura more dazzling than the sun formed on the Sky Wolf Blade.
"Mingzhen, grandma will butcher you!"
Mingzhen laughed wildly, floating away like a ghost, absolutely not giving Li Xing a chance for close combat again.
At this moment, the Chu Family saw over a hundred shadowy figures, dressed like guards, faces looking like they just woke but moved as nimbly as ordinary people, quickly approaching the battle circle, crazily attacking the barrier set by Li Xing.
In Tianyi City, countless Elemental Spirits manipulated by Mingzhen, eyes scarlet, rapidly converged on the Chu Family, numerous Star Beasts also gathering towards Tianyi City.
Within the Elder Council.
The final hand seal was made, and finally, characters appeared on the Purple Demon Pearl. Ji Jingtang took one glance and his eyes showed astonishment; the next second, a mighty voice resounded throughout the Heaven-Reaching Tower: "All elders, Tower Guardians swiftly proceed to the Chu Family, assist the Savior!"
Sounds of breaking through space incessantly echoed in the great hall, the figures of the Ten Elders disappearing one by one, innumerable white beams shot out from Heaven-Reaching Tower, pursuing the Ten Elders towards Chu Family.
"Squawk—!"
A mass of Flying Star Beasts summoned by Mingzhen arrived at the square above before other Star Beasts, attacking the barrier below.
Chu Family guards were crazed like zombies, hacking with bare hands, under multi-directional attacks, cracks appeared on the barrier. The Chu Family’s gates were also breached by puppet Elemental Spirits from Tianyi City, seemingly about to storm the square.
Mingzhen’s eyes twinkled with excitement, Li Xing understood, as soon as the barrier opened, he would definitely flee immediately, making it hard to capture him. Mingzhen’s wolf-like ambitions, if he escapes, it will be a great calamity for the entire Human Clan.
Li Xing no longer cared for the talismans left by the ancestors, whether they were explosive talismans or not, she used mana to deliberately detonate a stack and threw them at Mingzhen, forcing him away from the barrier cracks.
Mingzhen no longer engaged with Li Xing head-on, wrapped himself in Wind Blades, continuously dodging Li Xing’s attacks.
In Li Xing’s anxious moments, sounds of breaking through space arose, the arrival of the Ten Elders.
