He had scoured this forest clean of every single Source Crystal.
He had already consud a vast number of them.
A small portion of that energy was used to solidify the new realm he had just broken through to. But most of it exceeded his body’s refinent limit and simply dissipated, becoming useless radiation.
But this was exactly what he wanted.
The Crystal Stone Mountain beneath him was the final reserve of Source Crystals in this vast forest.
He was lying in wait.
He was using this final al to lure the hungry giant beast from its lair.
Lin Ye didn’t even activate [Shadow Scale].
In this pitch-black forest, he used the Source Crystals beside him to beco the most conspicuous fla.
SHH SHH SHH SHH...
An eerie sound ca from all directions.
It wasn’t the sound of wind rustling the leaves.
It was the sound of innurable tiny things scraping and scurrying at high speed beneath the thick layer of humus.
It was the black fungal filants!
Like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, they sward from every corner of the forest, converging madly on this very spot!
anwhile.
Thousands of ters in the sky directly above the Black Silk Forest.
An ard assault aircraft, painted entirely in dark gray camouflage, had activated its optical stealth mode and was hovering in mid-air like a ghost.
The atmosphere inside the cockpit was grim.
Shi Ruifeng and the elite squad under his command were fully ard and on high alert.
"Check the weapon payload system. Make sure the incendiary bombs are locked on the target area. Drop margin of error cannot exceed three ters."
Shi Ruifeng’s voice transmitted clearly to everyone through the comms channel in their tactical helts.
"Sir!"
The pilot beside him ran a final confirmation, his fingers flying across the holographic display.
Shi Ruifeng, however, kept his eyes fixed on the personal terminal on his wrist.
Several hours ago, he had received a communication from Lin Ye.
It wasn’t a call for help.
It was a battle plan.
Lin Ye claid that if the plan went well, he was ninety percent certain he could completely eliminate the Black Silk Forest—a scourge that had been entrenched in the Linchuan fallen zone for years!
Shi Ruifeng didn’t dare hesitate and imdiately reported it to Wang Lingchuan.
After a brief silence, Wang Lingchuan replied with just three words.
"Cooperate with him!"
The Shadow Scale Race tribe in the Northern Rift Valley, their greatest threat, had already been single-handedly wiped out by Lin Ye.
Therefore, it was ti for this last remaining threat to be wiped off the map for good.
Whether the Linchuan fallen zone could still be used as a trial ground no longer mattered.
It’s not like Earth was short on fallen zones.
DING!
A soft chi sounded.
A new ssage popped up on the screen of Shi Ruifeng’s personal terminal.
It was a coordinate, precise to three decimal places.
Below the coordinates, there was a short line of text.
"Target spotted. Requesting air strike!"
...
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
In the dead-silent forest, a series of incredibly heavy footsteps echoed, like the beating of a war drum.
Each footfall made the very earth tremble.
Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.
A colossal figure erged from the darkness before him.
It was a monster woven from innurable black fungal filants.
Its main body was a fusion of the remains of dozens of large, mutated beasts—giant bears, ferocious tigers, and more—forming a bloated, misshapen, and enormous torso.
Severed arms, mangled limbs, and even the shrunken heads of countless human Martial Artists were embedded across its surface, displayed like trophies by the fungal filants.
Their empty eye sockets seed to silently recount the despair of their final monts.
Lin Ye finally understood why Chan Tianhao’s map had noted the suspected presence of human rebels in this area.
They weren’t rebels at all, but puppets controlled by the monster before him!
The behemoth stood over fifteen ters tall, a moving mountain of corpses that exuded a nauseating stench of rot and an aura of pure evil.
The monster’s information appeared before Lin Ye’s eyes.
[Fungal Descendant Corpse King]
[LV 30]
[Evolution Level: 0.95]
Lin Ye’s gaze paused slightly on that last line of information.
’Its Evolution Level is lower than mine?’
’This mber of the Celestial Abyss Race exudes an oppressive aura comparable to a Galasha, so why is its Evolution Level so low?’
’Goes to show, the universe is full of surprises.’
The very instant the Fungal Descendant Corpse King revealed itself,
pair after pair of scarlet pinpricks of light ignited in the darkness behind it.
Hundreds... then thousands of them!
It was a horde of mutated beast corpses controlled by the fungal filants—a seemingly endless Undead Legion!
They completely surrounded the lone patch of light, leaving no escape.
Neither side exchanged any words.
But when the Fungal Descendant Corpse King saw Lin Ye grab another handful of Source Crystals right in front of it and drain them of their energy,
its face—a patchwork of countless corpses—let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar!
The furious roar beca a physical shockwave that swept out in all directions!
A foul gale whipped through the trees, making them sway.
The Undead Legion launched an all-out attack!
The next mont, however,
dense, tough black scales instantly covered Lin Ye’s entire body.
He ignored the corpse horde surging toward him like a tide. Instead, he raised his head, his gaze fixed on the night sky—a sky veiled by a black, silken web that blotted out the stars and moon.
The night was torn asunder.
Tiny points of fire materialized from nothing, rapidly growing larger as they plumted!
Trailing long, fiery tails, they beca a teor shower pouring down upon the world, piercing the darkness and tearing through the massive black web that had sealed off the heavens!
They fell with unerring precision, crashing down upon the exact coordinates of the Fungal Descendant Corpse King!
