The sky suddenly darkened as Ying Yue finished speaking.
Immediately, a blindingly bright beam of light descended from the sky, forcing Ye Feng and the others to squint. It struck the enormous body of the Black Tengu, which was surging with strange black light.
"Ugh~! Ah! Ah!"
The Black Tengu let out an incredibly shrill scream, and the black light on its body weakened considerably.
Seizing this opportunity, Shen Yun Yao grabbed Xiao Xiao and quickly ran away from the Black Tengu's location. A Jin also retreated far away.
"Bang! ~ Sizzle!"
"Ah~! Ah! ~"
At this moment, the Black Tengu screamed as its massive body was pierced through by the dazzling white light descending from the sky.
The white light did not stop there. It continued to descend, causing the ground beneath the Black Tengu to explode. A scorching wave of energy surged outwards, instantly reducing a large amount of flora and fauna to ashes...
Even Ye Feng, who was farther away, felt an unusual warmth within the fierce wave of energy, a heat that seemed to penetrate the body and seep into the soul...
"Rumble~!"
The entire floating island shook violently.
At this moment, the sky darkened again. The beam of white light directed at the Black Tengu became even more blinding and thicker, engulfing a large area around the creature.
"Bang ~ Rumble! Rumble! ~"
The floating island shook even more violently, and finally, centered on the Black Tengu's location, it cracked open. Large amounts of soil, rocks, mountains, and rivers plummeted downwards...
"Ah! Ah ~!"
"Ugh ~ Ah!"
The Black Tengu's shrill screams continued to ring out.
In the裂開 position, within the blinding white light, the Black Tengu's black mist-shrouded body could be vaguely seen rapidly dissipating...
"Ye... Ye Feng, is that... is the sun attacking the Black Tengu?!"
Shen Yun Yao, her throat feeling as if it were on fire, squinted and pointed to the sky, which emitted an incredibly brilliant light. Her voice was filled with astonishment.
"This... did Ying Yue do it?"
Ye Feng squinted at the sky. Around the sun's position, there were a circle of flashing, mysterious runes, appearing to be a formation.
Ye Feng was slightly surprised, then realized.
He remembered that while controlling the core, he and Xiao Xiao had seen a 3D image on a screen with a prominent bright spot. At that time, he had speculated whether the sun in the sky of the Civilization Seed Ship was artificial.
"Ye Feng, this attack has almost depleted the remaining energy of the Civilization Seed Ship!"
"You need to hurry!"
At this moment, Ying Yue, controlling Horus Guardian No. 1, ran to Ye Feng's side and spoke in a low voice.
"As expected!"
Ying Yue's words confirmed Ye Feng's previous guess.
The blinding white light shining on the Black Tengu continued to fade. The sky also became slightly brighter, but it was still quite dim compared to before.
"Sizzle sizzle! ~"
"Rumble rumble! ~"
Electrical crackling sounds and various loud noises echoed all around the floating island.
In the distance, spatial ripples twisted in the air. Coupled with the dim light and the occasional flashes of lightning, it looked like the end of the world was nigh.
"Big Brother, the city below, the ground... it's starting to collapse and disintegrate!"
Xiao Xiao looked down from the floating island, her expression filled with worry.
"Ying Yue, where is the exit of the Civilization Seed Ship you mentioned?"
Ye Feng turned to look at Ying Yue.
At this moment, her left arm had lost its function due to damage to her Arcane Rune Array during the previous attack by Tu Xie. She was in the process of cutting it off.
"It's about 2,000 meters ahead of Xiao Xiao, and judging by the current situation, the teleportation array won't last much longer!"
Ying Yue whispered quickly to Ye Feng.
"Hey, Tu Xie, you t-"
Inside a square, semi-transparent box constantly rippling, was a bloody, pulsating mass.
"Holy cow, what kind of monsters are these in Brad Base?"
Ye Feng stared at specimen No. 11, which was indistinguishable from any human organ, with great surprise.
Shen Yun Yao nodded in agreement. The Sphinx they encountered in Mech City was also very bizarre, a blood-red worm resembling a centipede...
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed.
He detected a peculiar fluctuation from the semi-transparent box emitting faint ripples, which contained No. 11.
"It's spatial power again!"
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. "However, there's a significant gap compared to the spatial power Tu Xie used earlier. It's similar to what I encountered with experiment subject No. 17 when I was at the Human Forbidden Zone..."
"Just now, No. 11 used these spatial ripples to create a barrier for itself, preventing it from being completely absorbed and devoured by the Black Tengu... and also avoiding Ying Yue's artificial sun attack...?"
Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed on No. 11, which extended numerous bloody tentacles and was clinging to a rock, his mind racing.
"You're called Ye Feng, aren't you... you seem quite special..."
"You have some kind of special connection to this ruin... even the ancient ruin's guard forces have come to help you... and the artificial sun in the sky suddenly attacking, that's related to you as well, isn't it..."
At this moment, Tu Xie looked at Ye Feng and said with a smile, "It was indeed the right decision not to kill you earlier. Your value... might be no less than that of the Stone of Hope!"
"Hey, Tu Xie, what the hell are you gawking at? I'm about to fall!"
Before Ye Feng could reply, No. 11's impatient voice rang out again.
As it turned out, without the continuous absorption of arcane energy, and combined with the artificial sun's recent attack on the Black Tengu, the entire floating island was in an unstable state. It not only shook intermittently but also had large chunks of mountains and land falling off...
Although No. 11 was not dead, it seemed to have very little strength left.
It was precariously clinging to a rock with its bloody tentacles. Due to the shaking of the floating island's ground, it was beginning to lose its grip and was rolling towards a large hole nearby.
Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. He gripped his Tang sword, and his true energy surged. The next moment, he stomped heavily on the ground.
As the rocks on the ground shattered, his figure had already vanished from his original position. He appeared before No. 11 and, with a slightly awkward movement, the Tang sword in his hand flashed, striking fiercely at No. 11.
