Chapter 1272: Chapter 651: First Encounter
Extreme pain eroded Gustaâs nerves, a brute force spreading within his body, shattering from the cellular level.
Death was imminent, and an uncontrollable fear surged in Gustaâs heart.
Why Azure Dragon could use Kashmirâs Spear in the mechanical body form, he was hard-pressed to understand.
After the end of the battle of the Chaotic Star Gap, slight rumors circulated within the Three Great Civilizations regarding Kashmirâs Spear, claiming that its use comes at the cost of consuming life force.
The purpose of spreading this message was naturally to weaken Azure Dragonâs influence.
But now Azure Dragon could use it not only with the mechanical body, but even the cracks on the spear have vanished.
Before the spear pierced him, he even held onto a sliver of fantasy, perhaps it merely resembled on the outside.
But after the spear penetrated, there wasnât even a trace of luck left, the terrifying power told him it was indeed Kashmirâs Spear.
Too many questions hovered in his mind, and a strong resentment surged in Gustaâs heart, filled with regret and longing, hoping Tanwus could save him at last, but it was just a fantasy.
He didnât want to die quietly, but in the end, he couldnât dodge this fate.
Boom!
Gustaâs body exploded with a roar, energy rings erupted like solar corona, wave after wave, bringing a brief solar glory to the desolate planet.
The aftermath swept through, causing the planet to resonate with a roar.
The Vice Chairman of the High-level Life Form Union ultimately fell.
The "complete Kashmirâs Spear?" Tanwus looked heavy-hearted and suspicious, already too late to act.
He wasnât unfamiliar with this spear, having encountered it before, knowing the traits of this weapon, difficult to evade.
But the weapons left over from the Titan Era are not because theyâre precious, but because they were on the brink of collapse in conflict.
The power was greatly damaged and remained in a broken state; continuing to use them had no help in battle, so they were left behind.
But neither this seemingly undamaged Kashmirâs Spear nor the Eternal Silence Star with amazing sealed strength seemed like in a shattered state.
Moreover, he hadnât seen the combat mode of this spear.
Yet weapons of this level have materials of extraordinary hardness, impossible to converge like Flowing Light.
But that kind of power, with traits that disregard everything, again telling him, this is Kashmirâs Spear.
The current situation is entirely different from what he expected.
Two ultimate weapons, suspected to both be in a complete state, Tanwus silently clenched the trident in his hand. Nonetheless, there was still hope to grasp the opponent.
His injuries were more severe than I imagined, Li Ming pondered in his heart.
The two used Gusta as the pawn for their game; for now, he was slightly ahead, though he also caught the opponent off guard.
However, by any measure, the opponentâs performance couldnât be called an Ultimate Life Form, indicating the severity of the injuries.
Thus, he felt much relieved that escaping should be no problem.
The light flashed slightly in his hand, and Kashmirâs Spear gradually condensed; if it were Infinite Hammer, existing based on ability, it would collapse once let go.
Yet Kashmirâs Spear was different, its ability included a "Guaranteed Hit" trait; as long as the target was locked, using this trait, it could sustain for a period even after being released.
"Azure Dragon..." Tanwus spoke again, his intention already locking onto the opponent, spiritual fluctuations slowly transmitted, "Youâve surprised me, Abyss Lord values you highly; how about surrendering to Abyss Lord?"
Abyss Lord sent him to bring this guy back; he hadnât recovered from his injuries, and the opponentâs methods were somewhat unexpected.
Not being in peak condition, he couldnât fight effortlessly; handling unexpected situations would be troublesome, so it was best not to act.
Li Ming was already fully armed, his primary controlled objects shining brightly, only now speaking his first words since arriving here: "Abyss Lord?"
"Abyss Lord is Eternal Abyss; Eternal Abyss is Abyss Lord," Tanwus responded directly, "Surrender to Abyss Lord, and you can witness one civilization era after another, never perishing yourself, merging with Abyss Lord."
"Itâs a gift countless life forms seek in vain; in the last civilization era, the Titan race had Ultimate Life Forms wanting to surrender but were rejected."
Why is this guy seeking me if he seems unaware of Eternal Abyss...
Li Ming captured information from the opponentâs words; his ability to absorb the Power of Eternal Abyss without damage posed the greatest threat to Eternal Abyss.
The best way to manage this threat is elimination, not recruitment.
Why not say it? Is it because Eternal Abyss is also not assured about these guys?
These Abyss Kings are not ordinary Abyss Clan members, their external features differ; Titans once speculated that they were strong individuals from past civilization eras.
Though there are Titan records on paper, Eternal Abyss still holds many secrets; Li Ming didnât mind chatting more with the opponent to extract more information or seize an opportunity to flee.
"If I surrender, will I become an Abyss King like you?" Li Ming asked tentatively.
"Of course, you will definitely become an Abyss King, perhaps even the strongest among us," Tanwus continued to paint grand prospects for him, "I have never seen Abyss Lord take such interest in a life form; your potential is infinite."
"Will I lose my independent consciousness?" Li Ming promptly asked again, "Like those life forms that have been eroded."
"Of course not; they are merely tools; we are Abyss Lordâs favored ones," Tanwus shook his head, "Look, do I seem like a life form without independent consciousness?"
