"Crack~"
Tens of thousands of tons of force crashed down, instantly penetrating the shield already on the brink of shattering.
"Itâs you!"
How could Alfarld not recognize the person in front of him? It was surely him who summoned that Middle-level Godâs shadow, causing Alfarld the greatest embarrassment of his life.
Now, unexpectedly, this guy had delivered himself right to the door, giving Alfarld the perfect opportunity to let him know what true despair really means.
Although he lacked Naphayaâs racial talent to detect othersâ realms, the vast difference in strength allowed him to see Zhang Xiaomanâs true level at a glance.
A mere ant at the Lower Control Level, something Alfarld could easily crush.
However, considering that this person might have a Middle-level God backing him, he might have other means. Alfarld, despite displaying contempt, still attacked with all his might.
The red Energy compressed to the extreme, transformed into a thin line, shooting towards Zhang Xiaoman as if trying to tear through space.
The latter remained indifferent, maintaining his high-speed charge towards the Black Mountain Goat.
The initial boost effect from Heroic Leap had been used up when breaking the shield; Zhang Xiaoman was left with one last power amplification.
"Die, Insect."
Seeing the opponent showing no intention of dodging, Alfarld felt a thrill of excitement.
But the next moment...
"Whoosh!"
The red Energy vanished like a mud ox into the sea the instant it hit the target.
Radiant golden light emanated from Zhang Xiaomanâs body, akin to a Heavenly God descending, charging directly at the Black Mountain Goat suspended in mid-air.
"Impossible..."
Alfarld couldnât believe it, his powerful Extraordinary Level strike had been completely ignored, failing to have any effect.
"Indeed, that Middle-level God has granted you enough power to resist my attack..."
Understanding dawned in his eyes, soon replaced by a fierce glint.
"But, what does it matter... I can feel that this aura wonât last long. Once these golden rays fade, you and this worldâs life will meet your end."
A vast thought echoed in Zhang Xiaomanâs mind; it was a mental dialogue from the Black Mountain Goat.
"Is that so..."
He had no intention of engaging in verbal sparring, continuing his relentless charge, piercing through Alfarldâs body.
Phasing!
The Black Mountain Goat activated his Ability the instant he was about to be hit, transforming his body into pure Energy, resembling a semi-transparent shadow, effortlessly evading Zhang Xiaomanâs punch.
That was a physical attack immunity, just like Naphayaâs form; unless itâs a Dark Energy-based energy attack, it cannot be harmed.
Zhang Xiaoman passed through the body, plunging into Li Hai.
With Ni Yangâs mark on his body, he was unafraid of the waterâs effects.
Moreover, at this moment, Li Hai had exhausted its power, losing its assimilation ability, becoming an ordinary ocean.
"Is this the extent of your ability?"
Alfarldâs timely taunt came through.
Against Control Level ants, the most effective method for Extraordinary Levels was direct phasing, as most below Extraordinary Level couldnât seamlessly alternate attacks between physical and Dark Energy.
Zhang Xiaoman was undeterred, having never intended to kill the opponent with the previous attack; his true plan was yet to come.
The Purple Cloud Divine Sword materialized from the void, he grabbed it.
Nine Revolutions Return to One!
Dazzling lightning flickered at the swordâs tip, a massive force erupted, instantly hitting the Black Mountain Goat in mid-air.
Alfarld just felt his body uncontrollably drifting backward, that mighty thrust caught him unawares.
Nine Revolutions Return to One, Purple Skill, its effect is to inflict damage and knock the target back a distance.
This skill, like Life Tai Chi and Swallowing Sun and Moon, belongs to a class similar to Law-type effects.
Its power isnât particularly strong, but the control it offers is immensely potent, even Ni Yang couldnât help but marvel at it.
"Law-type Attack, so this is your reliance, but unfortunately, itâs still useless."
Alfarldâs form halted mid-air, just under five meters from the Dimension Rift.
Zhang Xiaoman, seeing his attack failed to push Alfarld into the rift, felt his heart clench, then his gaze fell upon the little goat beside him.
The next second, he made a horrifying move, spiritual power stirred up a monstrous wave, transforming it into a gigantic hand reaching towards it.
"With just you! You dare harm the offspring of a True God!?"
Alfarldâs eyes flickered with ferocity, instantly placing protection over it.
But Zhang Xiaomanâs gathered attack wasnât meant to cause real harm; his sole aim was to capture this little creature.
The giant wave-hand pushed the little goat skyward, Zhang Xiaoman gripped it, then, under the shield of Following the Way of Heaven Invincible and Immunity, forced his way through Alfarldâs attack into the Dimension Rift.
"Roar!"
Alfarld roared furiously, turning and chasing after him without hesitation.
The medium-sized Dimension Rift was massive and stable enough to accommodate a Lower Transcendentâs passage, though slightly hindered, it posed no significant problem.
"Here it comes!"
As the surroundings shifted, Zhang Xiaoman felt himself overwhelmed by endless purple light, and when he regained his senses, he was in a bizarre world shrouded in black mist.
This world was dark and grim, everything around concealed in boundless black fog, visibility was zero.
This was his first backward traversal through a Dimension Rift since gaining Extraordinary Power, arriving in the world of Alien Species.
No time to assess the environment, Zhang Xiaoman, carrying the little goat, swiftly fled into the distance.
His Invincible time was down to less than thirty seconds; he had to hurry.
"You canât escape!"
A massive white figure appeared before him - Alfarld.
As the Source of White Tide, he naturally possessed Instant Teleportation ability within this black fog.
Without any visible action, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt light, and the next moment, the little goat was gone, standing beside Alfarld.
"Is this your plan? Drawing me here, and then what?"
Alfarld saw the golden light surrounding his opponent hadnât faded, knowing he couldnât harm him for the time being, had to suppress his anger with verbal taunts.
In his view, everything Zhang Xiaoman did was meaningless; he didnât mind traversing back through the Dimension Rift.
To him, the medium-sized rift was stable enough for multiple passages back and forth.
He never considered whether the opponent might have the ability to close the rift because even he couldnât do it.
Dimension Rift wasnât just a simple spatial force; it involves connections between two universes, an origin power.
Not even he, nor a Middle Level Transcendent could manage to close a rift.
This is the fusion of universe and universe; unless one possesses Demon Lord-level strength, how could one intervene?
However, unfortunately for him, the Starry Eyes Array of the Star Alliance doesnât adhere to Martial Worldâs rules, it doesnât require Zhang Xiaoman to act personally; even ordinary members possess the power to close Dimension Rifts.
Behind Zhang Xiaoman, the Awakeners had already begun their action the moment he entered the rift.
Everyone jointly acted, using the Starry Array to absorb the rift.
