[Seek genuine subscription] Lan Wu saw Jia Yan continue forward despite his bodyâs unusual changes and shouted sternly.
He was surprised at the same time; although Jia Yan was merely a Venerable Monster and clearly not a naturally born Space Species, he could still keep up with him to a certain extent in this Subspace.
Itâs worth noting that Lan Wu was not only a naturally born Space Species but also a Semi-permanent Star Level Genius whose Brainwave Power far exceeded Jia Yanâs by several times.
âJia Yan definitely wonât dare to continue forward.
Iâll follow behind him, and when he turns around, Iâll launch a surprise assassination!â
A hint of malice flashed in Lan Wuâs eyes.
Just then, he saw Jia Yan speeding ahead.
Suddenly, Jia Yan turned his head slightly and glanced back at him.
In that glance, Lan Wu seemed to see a trace of deep disdain in Jia Yanâs eyes.
Right after Jia Yanâs glance, Lan Wu abruptly felt a suction force, like it originated from the abyss ahead in the Subspace, rushing toward him.
His body suddenly froze in Subspace, his movement disrupted, and he was thrown into an extremely dangerous area.
Fortunately, Lan Wu was a Space Species; when faced with the slicing-like spatial pull, his body slid along its surface and escaped the perilous zone.
Even so, Lan Wu felt a wave of shock, even a sense of narrowly escaping death.
âWhat is this suction force?â Lan Wu looked ahead with shock.
But what appeared before him made his shock deepen.
At the depths of the Subspace, a massive pitch-black object hidden far in the distance revealed itselfâa terrifying suction force emanated from this black sphere.
âThis isâŠâ
Lan Wuâs eyes widened.
âYou⊠you⊠you.â He looked ahead at Jia Yan, who had already halted his movement, a calm expression on his Compound Eyes as he turned around and glared at Lan Wu with a murderous gaze.
Lan Wu could scarcely believe his eyes!
In this Subspace, no large object was supposed to exist, yet here was something he hadnât even dared to imagine.
âA black hole?â
No, itâs not a black hole.
Lan Wu quickly noticed the differenceâthe suction force of this black sphere was far weaker than a real black hole.
But it was intimidating enough.
Especially within this Subspace, anyone affected by its gravitational pull could easily fall into the dangerous zones within Subspace.
âInsane!
Someone brought such a thing into Subspace.
And over there, is that a Space Stone?
Youâre using it to stabilize a small black hole?
Where did you learn these Space SkillsâŠ?â
âEven I couldnât accomplish this!â
Lan Wu was almost stunned.
As an expert Space Species, Lan Wu naturally had extraordinary achievements in spatial manipulation, but he had never entertained the thought of placing weapons or combat aids in Subspace.
It wasnât that he hadnât considered itâit was simply beyond his ability to accomplish.
Jia Yan managed to achieve something this extraordinary, thanks to the Skills inherited from his predecessors.
Without those Skillsâand space stonesâthe feat would have been impossible.
âSo this is the true nature of your suction ability.â
Lan Wu, being a Semi-permanent Star Level Genius, quickly calmed down after seeing the small black hole and understood the secret behind Jia Yanâs suction ability during combatâit was caused by this black hole.
He was truly astounded.
Not only did Jia Yan place a black hole in Subspace, but he also audaciously used Space Stones to control the activation and deactivation of Subspace gates.
This greatly reduced the required energy.
âIndeed, this is the secret behind my ability.
But now that you know, you canât leave.â
Jia Yan nodded, came beside the gigantic black hole, and positioned a Space Stone in front of himself.
Instantly, the suction force that should have attracted his body disappeared.
âI canât leave?
Ha, Jia Yan, could it be you want to kill me here in Subspace?
Perhaps you donât know how terrifying a Space Species can be.
Even with the help of this black hole, you couldnât possibly kill me.â
Upon hearing Lan Wuâs words, Jia Yan nodded again.
He said nothing more.
In that moment, he commanded the surrounding Space Stones using his Brainwave Power.
The five Space Stones controlling the artificial black hole allowed Jia Yan to adjust their spatial grids for shielding and opening, enabling the black hole to move rapidly.
As Lan Wuâs words had barely left his mouth, he suddenly saw the gigantic black hole rushing toward him.
âSo fast!â
The massive black hole sped forward like a battleship, barreling through Subspace.
Even Lan Wu, stunned, widened his eyes in shock.
Nonetheless, his reaction was swift.
The mirror-like surface of his body rapidly transformed into a blurred silhouette, retreating backward.
No matter how confident he was, he didnât dare confront the terrifying black entity head-on.
Lan Wuâs movement slowed under the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Meanwhile, Jia Yan hid behind the black hole, controlling the trajectory with Brainwave Power while pursuing Lan Wu ahead.
The black holeâs gravitational force was utterly terrifying, particularly since Jia Yan leveraged Space Stones to oscillate its suction power, forcing Lan Wu into a desperate situation.
Under such a pull, Lan Wuâs intended path would suddenly divert, hurling him into dangerous zones with Subspace Distortion.
âSuch horrifying spatial controlâŠ
Noâwhat horrifying Space Skills!
Even I couldnât achieve this level of precision manipulation.
Who is Jia Yanâs mentor?â
Lan Wu fled frantically, while behind him, the black hole maneuvered adeptly through Subspace like an immense yet fast battleship.
What was even more frightening was that, in the depths of Subspace, any spatial pull couldnât tear apart the black hole.
Hence, Jia Yan, steering the black hole, ignored various dangers along the way; Subspace distortions shattered under the black holeâs gravitational dominance.
For the fleeing Lan Wu, however, it was far less comfortableâhe not only had to evade the gravitational pull of Jia Yanâs black hole but also avoid the dangerous distortion zones ahead.
Several inadvertent encounters with distortion led to cracks forming on his mirror-like body.
One moved directly forward, while the other zigzagged to avoid dangers.
In such a chase, Jia Yan held the absolute advantage.
âItâs all or nothing!â
Lan Wu abruptly realized Jia Yan was deliberately forcing him away from areas where he could break through Subspace and return to real space.
It was clear this was Jia Yanâs deliberate act to prevent him from escaping and revealing the secret of the black hole.
He genuinely intended to silence him forever!
âJia Yan, youâve left me no choice!â
Although Lan Wu feared the black hole, he still underestimated Jia Yan.
After dodging the black holeâs gravitational pull once again, he twisted his body and turned back sharply.
âHere I comeâŠâ
Jia Yan seemed prepared.
The expert Lan Wu demonstrated superior agility within Subspace, striking with lightning speed equivalent to his movement outside Subspace, lunging toward the rear of Jia Yanâs black hole.
Jia Yan amplified the black holeâs suction force.
But Lan Wu, using some unknown method, suddenly leaped ahead in Subspace, traversing nearly two kilometers and arriving directly in front of Jia Yan.
âWhat kind of Skill is this?â
It was Jia Yanâs first time seeing someone capable of leaping in Subspace.
This wasnât the time to ponder, though.
Lan Wu was already upon himâhis mirror-like foot slicing forward like a sharp blade, aiming to cleave Jia Yan in half.
Using Brainwave Power, Jia Yan controlled the Space Stones to unleash black hole energy, disrupting Lan Wuâs movements, while simultaneously retreating rapidly.
Despite his strength, Jia Yan was still slightly inferior, especially in this Subspace area, which served as a natural battleground for foes like Lan Wu.
During his retreat, Jia Yanâs body was slightly grazed by Lan Wuâs slicing attack.
The sharp blade-like foot cut into Jia Yanâs abdomen, leaving a shallow mark.
But in the next moment, limitless blue light erupted across Jia Yanâs bluish body.
The Bluish Defense once again demonstrated its formidable might.
âWhat?
It didnât cut through?
Impossible!â
Lan Wu, sensing the obstacle with his blade-like foot, revealed an expression of shock.
His attack, powered by spatial principles and honed over long-term evolution, wasnât indomitable but certainly shouldnât have been stopped by Jia Yanâs Venerable-level defense.
Yet the reality was undeniableâJia Yan successfully blocked it with minimal damage.
At that moment, Lan Wu noticed the mocking glint in Jia Yanâs Compound Eyes.
Was this intentional?!
Lan Wu had barely registered the thought when he felt a terrifying pull from the nearby black hole forcefully dragging his body toward its surface.
He knew the black holeâs power wouldnât immediately kill him, but he was up against a formidable foe.
Sure enough, as Lan Wu struggled futilely against the gravitational forceâŠ
Jia Yanâs glowing front-right foot pierced through the void, plunging directly into his internal organs!
âJia Yan⊠Jia Yan!
How dare you!â
Lan Wu felt the pain coursing through his body, a vicious light appearing in his gaze.
He finally understoodâJia Yanâs strength wasnât as simple as outsiders rumored.
In fact, the teasing about Jia Yan being a âHigh-level Geniusâ might actually be true.
Jia Yan might indeed be a High-level Genius!
But now, none of that mattered to Lan Wu.
He could feel Jia Yanâs Brainwave Power infiltrating his body through the strike, causing irreparable damage, even though the power wasnât immense.
âIf I canât survive, then Iâll dieâtaking you with me!
Dying alongside a High-level Genius?
That would be worth it!â
Vicious determination filled Lan Wuâs eyes as his foot extended toward Jia Yanâtwo legs vibrating noisily as hints of spatial oscillation emerged around them.
Jia Yan sensed the elevated danger of the legs, comparing them to Subspace weaponsâdevastating if they struck his body.
He retreated rapidly!
Thereâs a big thanks to âTragic Aquariusâ for another 2000 Starty Coins reward.
Thank you!
And thanks for yesterdayâs rewards from âPatting empty pocketsâ and âHard to Name Really.â I appreciate it very much.
