Chapter 181 - Phantylia's Mara-Struck, an Emanator-Level War

BOOM!!!

The power to destroy a star system was condensed into a flaming spear.

Accompanied by a force that could burn even space and time, the scorching lance of light struck Phantylia's body, annihilating everything it touched.

The space of the Scalegorge Waterscape vibrated violently, and Phantylia's body collapsed in an instant.

Even with the protection of her triple powers, she couldn't block the ultimate technique of Artosh, the God of War, and was instantly burned to ashes.

It was a power that left even Jing Yuan, an Emanator of the Hunt, in utter shock.

Because it was the strongest, it was [the strongest].

That concept, which seemed to transcend heaven and earth, directly blasted a huge hole in Phantylia's body, completely destroying her internal organs.

Even for an existence at the level of a Lord Ravager, this was a fatal wound.

"A good chance!"

Seeing the aftershocks of the battle obscuring the battlefield, Jing Yuan didn't hesitate in the slightest. He decisively controlled the Lightning Lord to deliver the finishing blow.

With his power, his chances of winning against Phantylia in a weakened state were very high.

However—

"Hmph!"

With a pained grunt, the Lightning Lord's blade met with immense resistance.

Then the dust and smoke cleared, and Phantylia, who should have been lying on the ground, stood up again. One hand blocked the Lightning Lord's blade, stopping its pursuit.

"What?"

Jing Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the wound on Phantylia that should have been fatal.

He found that the place where a hole should have been pierced by Jibril's blow had healed by more than half in just a few breaths.

The internal organs were crawling and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye and were about to be fully restored.

"A body of longevity... requires healing."

Feeling the changes in herself, Phantylia sneered triumphantly, then looked at Jibril, who had unleashed that earth-shattering blow.

"What strong power, to be able to destroy even a noble body like mine... but it's meaningless. With the power of the Abundance's miracle, no matter how strong your power is, you can't truly kill me. No matter what kind of destruction I suffer, I will soon be able to return to my peak!"

The life force of this Ambrosial Arbor body exceeded her expectations. With the blessing of the Stellarons, the Ambrosial Arbor allowed her to be easily revived at full health.

"Damn it! This characteristic again!"

Seeing this, a shadow fell over Jing Yuan's eyes.

The greatest achievement of the High-Cloud Quintet and the greatest enemy they had faced was Shuhu, an Emanator of Abundance. The death of the former Luofu general, Tengxiao, was also related to this Emanator of Abundance.

With Tengxiao's power, he could have killed Shuhu countless times. But Shuhu, who possessed the power of Abundance, had an extremely strong immortality, so that he could make a comeback every time he was defeated, causing great losses to the Xianzhou Alliance.

Emanator-level immortality was an extremely troublesome characteristic for opponents of the same level.

With the recovery speed Phantylia displayed, even if Jibril killed her dozens more times, she might not be able to truly kill her.

On the contrary, Phantylia could rely on her recovery speed to constantly familiarize herself with their attacks and eventually find a chance to escape.

In addition, there was another point worth worrying about.

Seeing that Jibril had suddenly turned into a little girl after releasing the Godly Smite, Jing Yuan immediately became nervous.

And at this moment, Phantylia also noticed this and immediately sneered, "Little wings, it seems that your move can't be used at will!"

As an Emanator of Destruction, her destructive skills were inferior to a little girl's. This had made her feel a little ashamed.

She didn't expect that the other party could only use this high-level power once.

Now she didn't have to worry.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't killed me once just now, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such a degree of compatibility with the power of Abundance!"

Phantylia continued to taunt provocatively and launched another attack.

"She's actually gotten stronger?!"

Jing Yuan's expression became stern. He noticed that the reborn Phantylia's fusion and use of the dual Paths of Abundance and Destruction had become more and more adept.

With the process of death and rebirth, her mastery of life energy became more and more proficient, and her strength became stronger and stronger.

"Ahem... Your Excellency Su Mo, how much longer do you need to collect data?"

Struggling to resist, Jing Yuan couldn't help but ask Su Mo for help.

His teammate was on standby after releasing a one-time skill. He had to deal with this increasingly strong Emanator of two Paths alone.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been fighting under pressure for hundreds of years, making his mentality very stable, he really might not have been able to hold on.

"Soon."

Su Mo glanced at Schwi's state, his tone calm.

"Phantylia's proficiency with the power of Abundance is increasing rapidly. When she completely masters the power of Abundance, that will be when her power is at its peak."

"...I know that, but I don't think I can hold on until then!" Jing Yuan gritted his teeth slightly.

If he waited until Phantylia had mastered the power of both Destruction and Abundance, he would be fighting a losing battle.

Even if he could withstand the pressure, he couldn't withstand this situation!

As soon as he said this, before Su Mo could speak, Jibril, who had degenerated into a little girl, spoke up.

"Isn't there still me?"

She flashed to Su Mo's side and took a deep breath from his arm.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Phantylia and Jing Yuan, she directly grew from a little girl to a young woman.

After blinking, she raised her hands high again and condensed a war spear identical to the previous one.

"I never said that I could only use that move once. As long as I can replenish Lord Su Mo's energy, my power is infinite!"

As she spoke, the war spear was thrown.

The concept of the strongest swept through all energy, once again piercing through Phantylia's head with an overwhelming advantage.

Admittedly, the current Phantylia was much stronger than before. But as the incarnation of the strongest, no matter how strong the enemy was, the war spear could draw out even stronger power to crush the enemy.

Therefore—

BOOM!!!

The Godly Smite pierced through everything. This was Phantylia's second death.

"Damn wings! I don't believe you can still use this move!"

Phantylia was revived for the second time.

BOOM!!!

Under the light of the Godly Smite, she was killed for the third time.

"How is this possible? Your Path is so strange... Are you really a walker of the Path of Destruction?"

BOOM!!!

A third time, a fourth time...

Every time Phantylia was revived, she would become stronger, and her mastery of the power of Abundance would become higher.

But every time, Jibril could completely crush her. No matter how strong Phantylia was, she could always be above her.

However, the overwhelming advantage Jibril possessed also began to shrink as Phantylia became stronger step by step.

At the beginning, a Godly Smite from Jibril's hand was enough to kill Phantylia once.

But later, the time she needed to prepare began to grow longer.

Even though Su Mo had opened up the energy supply authority of the Star Grail to Jibril, her body still couldn't bear such high-frequency, intense consumption, and still needed a period of cooldown and adjustment.

And during her adjustment period, Jing Yuan would step in to withstand the pressure.

The flow of the battle became: Phantylia revives, Jing Yuan withstands the pressure, Jibril successfully recovers, crushes and kills Phantylia, Phantylia revives again.

As time passed, the pressure on Jing Yuan grew greater and greater, and Phantylia's strength also grew stronger and stronger.

Just when he thought for the nth time that he was about to collapse...

Schwi, who was at the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Report. According to observations, Lord Ravager Phantylia has achieved over ninety-nine percent mastery of the power of Abundance. The benefits of continued revival will diminish with marginal effects. Data collection for this stage is complete. It is recommended to proceed to the next stage of data collection!"

Jing Yuan immediately looked at Su Mo, his eyes full of anticipation.

That's right! This uncrowned genius hasn't made a move yet!

Although not all geniuses had Emanator-level combat power, almost all of them could play an Emanator-level role.

With Su Mo joining, perhaps the situation could be turned around!

Under his expectant gaze, Su Mo finally took a step forward.

"Basic data collection is complete. Stand down, Jibril. It's time for the next experiment."

"Yes! Master!"

Jibril, who was entangled with Phantylia, immediately took a step back. The Lightning Lord almost took a huge hit because of this.

Noticing Jibril's retreat and Jing Yuan's excitement, Phantylia's gaze became completely cautious.

She looked at Su Mo with a scrutinizing gaze, her tone vigilant and full of killing intent.

"A genius recognized by Nous. Do you intend to make an enemy of me, who has mastered the power of Abundance?"

Hearing this blatant threat, Su Mo's expression did not change.

Jing Yuan, who was at the side, couldn't help but say with schadenfreude, "An enemy of you? No, you are not qualified to be Mr. Su Mo's enemy. So far, all your actions have been predicted by Mr. Su Mo... Just wait, you pawn of Destruction. You will soon be shocked by Mr. Su Mo's power!"

"Big talk!"

Phantylia retorted, but her heart's alert level was raised to the highest.

She didn't think Jing Yuan's words were baseless. Could it be that this genius really had the power to restrain her?

Under everyone's extremely nervous and excited gaze, Su Mo finally made a move.

He casually summoned a glowing object that everyone was extremely familiar with, and then, with a very gentle motion, directly threw it at Phantylia's roots.

"???"

The moment they saw that thing, Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, and even Phantylia's eyes widened, feeling very puzzled.

"M-Mr. Su Mo, w-what are you doing?"

Jing Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

If he wasn't mistaken, what Su Mo had thrown was a Stellaron, right?

"Does a Stellaron thrown in this way really have any killing power?"

Fu Xuan's brain also crashed for a moment.

Could it be that Su Mo intended to kill the other party with a Stellaron?

"Could it be that you are also an undercover agent?"

Phantylia was even more puzzled.

For her, a Stellaron was not a threat, but could even amplify the power of Abundance.

What was the difference between Su Mo throwing this thing and throwing a meat bun at a dog?

Could it be that the other party was actually also an enemy of the Xianzhou? Or was it that he had simply taken the wrong item?

Without thinking too much, she caught the incoming Stellaron with one hand and devoured it into her body.

Including this one, she now held a total of ten Stellarons.

Soon, the ten Stellarons began to resonate, further amplifying the already abundant power of Abundance.

"Hahaha! What a prosperous power of Abundance! It seems that today is your death day!"

Feeling the increasingly swelling power in her body, Phantylia laughed wildly, her gaze towards Su Mo and the others as if looking at dead people.

"It seems the final battle is about to begin."

A will to fight to the death flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes.

Although he didn't know why it had come to this, since it had, it was time to separate the Scalegorge Waterscape from the Luofu and let the arrows of the Divine Bow of the Hunt illuminate everything.

Just as he was moving forward with the resolve to perish together, a sentence from Su Mo made him stop.

"Begin? No, this is the end."

"What do you mean?"

Jing Yuan was a little puzzled, but he didn't turn back, because Phantylia, who had been strengthened again by the Stellaron, could sweep away everything before her with a thunderous blow at any time.

Even with the power of the Lightning Lord, he could not contend with Phantylia at the peak of her power.

"It means that besides me, all of you will be destroyed."

Phantylia sneered. Her hands came together, and a pressure that could destroy the sun and moon directly locked onto the Lightning Lord's throat.

A suffocating pressure covered the entire Scalegorge Waterscape. Then, she released a blow that could destroy a star system (Or Galaxy).

Splat!

It was the sound of flesh being pierced, and blood splattering on the ground.

"Guh!"

It was a sound of extreme pain, so much so that it couldn't be suppressed.

Seeing this, everyone except Su Mo widened their eyes in surprise.

Because, the one who made such a sound and suffered such pain was none other than Phantylia, who was in her strongest state.

Golden horns and sharp claws broke through her skin and grew out. Like shedding her skin, they condensed into an extremely tough biological armor on the surface of her body. An earth-shaking change was transforming her body from the inside out, and even her consciousness suddenly became violent.

Seeing this, Fu Xuan, who had been far from the center of the battlefield and hiding behind Su Mo with Ruan Mei, and Jing Yuan, who was preparing for a life-and-death battle, were all stunned.

This was not because they didn't understand the abnormal phenomenon before them, but because they understood the root of the change too well.

"Isn't this... the Mara-Struck?"

Jing Yuan murmured in shock.
