Super Gene ?: Evolution

Chapter 593 Invalid

After participating in the racial ranking battle, Lin Shen had become quite worldly, having observed many different Life Bases of various races.

Yet he had never seen a Life Base like that of Changhen Dongli.

The Life Base of Changhen Dongli was like an enormous, oval, black walnut.

Its surface was covered with many strange wrinkles, and there was a raised ring in the middle, which bore a strong resemblance to the outer shell of a walnut.

The bizarre Life Base, taller than a man, sat motionless on the ground, and Lin Shen really couldn't see what use it could possibly have.

Crack!

Suddenly, the Life Base split open, just like a walnut shell being cracked in half—inside the Life Base, however, there was nothing, empty like a walnut shell, emitting only a black luminescence.

Changhen Dongli, who was in the midst of battle with Death Powder, suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, turned his back toward the empty-shell-like Life Base, and collided into it.

Then the shell closed up, returning to the shape it had when it first appeared.

Death Powder, chasing like a dragon, was not willing to let him go so easily. Its tail, sharp like a lance, glowed red as it pierced towards the black Life Base.

Crack!

The Life Base, though it appeared very hard, could not withstand the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light. It was directly punctured by Death Powder's tail.

Death Powder withdrew its tail, then stabbed out again rapidly, like a series of meteor shadows, furiously puncturing the black Life Base. In mere moments, it had turned the Life Base into a hornet's nest.

In the end, Death Powder's tail, like a whip, lashed out, its red light striking the Life Base, directly shattering the already tattered Life Base shell into fragments.

Inside the remaining half of the Life Base, Changhen Dongli, his body pierced with many holes and bleeding from within these wounds, lay reclining on the remaining half of the Life Base, eyes wide open as if unwilling to close in death.

"Is he really dead? What in the world is the use of his Life Base?" Lin Shen was highly doubtful that Changhen Dongli had perished.

Changhen Dongli could clearly contend with Death Powder. Why then did he enter his Life Base, only to be easily stabbed to death by Death Powder?

Having fought with Death Powder for so long, he should be well aware of how powerful the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light was. There should be no room for such a mistake.

Death Powder did not approach the dead Changhen Dongli, but the data it recorded did not contain any related information. It was unclear about the situation and simply watched the body of Changhen Dongli.

Bang!

Suddenly, Death Powder's body flew forward, slamming heavily against Changhen Dongli's body and the fragments of the Life Base, knocking the body and half of the Life Base to one side.

Lin Shen's pupils contracted as he witnessed an unbelievable scene. At the place where Death Powder had just been, stood another black armored Changhen Dongli.

His elbow blade, emitting black light, clearly indicated that he was the one who had sent Death Powder flying.

"Your body is incredibly resilient. Even that did not break through. I am growing fonder of you by the moment," Changhen Dongli said, looking at Death Powder getting up from the ground, his face featuring a sinister grin.

Lately, Death Powder had not been accustomed to such setbacks. In a burst of ferocity, it propelled itself upward, carrying a strange red light, and shot toward Changhen Dongli like a javelin.

Changhen Dongli, unexpectedly, did not dodge or evade, standing there like a fool, allowing True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light of Death Powder to pierce his body.

Something eerie happened, the invincible True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light, this time, did not penetrate Changhen Dongli's body, vanishing the moment it touched his flesh.

Changhen Dongli had not used his Power of Nirvana, but merely took the hit with his body, without sustaining a single injury.

Death Powder was a bit stunned, evidently not having anticipated this scenario.

Changhen Dongli, with a sinister chuckle, charged at Death Powder, completely ignoring Death Powder's attacks, adopting a reckless all-out offensive posture.

The attacks of Death Powder hit Changhen Dongli's body but the formidable True Extreme Slaying Evil lost all effect and could do no harm to Changhen Dongli.

On the other hand, Changhen Dongli's assaults hit Death Powder's body, twisting and warping it as if it were an elastic being incessantly stretched.

Fortunately, Death Powder possessed skills such as Hundred Refinements. Changhen Dongli's elbow blades, glowing with a black light, repeatedly slashed at it, seemingly ready to sever its body each time, but each strike failed to succeed.

Seeing Death Powder's body stretched like rubber to its limits, as though it could snap at any moment, Lin Shen felt utterly terrified.

"What's going on? Why isn't True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light working? Something isn't right… not right at all…" Lin Shen's brain worked frantically, his gaze searching all around.

Roar!

Death Powder went berserk, its body enlarging tremendously, resembling a bizarre red behemoth, its maw aglow with red light, about to swallow Changhen Dongli whole.

Boom!

Changhen Dongli threw an uppercut, sending Death Powder's massive frame soaring through the air, then quickly followed up, his six arms flailing rapidly, mercilessly pounding on the giant Death Powder's body, forcing it to retreat through the sky and harshly crash against the mountain wall.

But Changhen Dongli's assault did not cease, his fingers, palms, fists, and elbows striking maniacally at Death Powder, twisting its enormous frame, with rocks behind it constantly shattering, its body being hammered into the side of the mountain, blowing out a large hole in the crumbling wall.

Lin Shen knew Death Powder was desperate; although it was strong, facing information and data not recorded in its Annihilation Diary, it could only fight on instinct now.

The thing Lin Shen feared still happened; the black-armored Changhen Dongli truly had some differences compared with those blue-armored Changhen Donglis, and the data recorded by Death Powder were not entirely effective against the black-armored Changhen Dongli.

"What is actually happening?" Watching Death Powder being pummeled, Lin Shen's thoughts raced: "These bizarre events started when Changhen Dongli activated his Life Base, but his Life Base has already been smashed by Death Powder, what does this have to do with his Life Base then?"

Lin Shen's gaze swept toward the distant shattered Life Base; the black walnut-like Life Base was long split into pieces, seeming completely beyond use.

"No, that's not right… If Changhen Dongli's Life Base had truly been destroyed… then his core would also have suffered damage… But there's not a single thing wrong with his core… Could it be…" Lin Shen's eyes shifted to Changhen Dongli's corpse, dashing over with the Inheritance Fan as his Light Sword, viciously slashing down upon the corpse.

That corpse's Carapace was still extremely resilient; the destructive power of an Ascension Life Base couldn't harm its Carapace at all.

Lin Shen retracted the Inheritance Fan, drew the Scrap Sword, and scraped it straight across the corpse's face.

The carapace on his face was not yet fully formed, resembling a latticed butterfly mask, with only a thin layer.

With one scrape of Lin Shen's sword, he opened a gash on that facial mask, leaving a bloody streak across the face.

As Changhen Dongli relentlessly bombarded Death Powder, the carapace on his face suddenly split open with a slanted gash across his cheek, and beneath it, a bloody mark appeared as well.
