The mutated beasts, already dead, lost their final source of power in the sea of flas.
They twitched and struggled, finally turning into charred carcasses scattered across the inferno, leaving behind only shattered bone fragnts.
Faced with an absolute elental advantage, the Undead Legion was pitifully fragile.
The colossal Fungal Descendant Corpse King, anwhile, let out a series of pained roars.
The tissue covering its body—a fusion of countless corpses and fungal filants—lted and peeled away under the intense heat. This exposed the more vibrant mycelial network within, which was then rcilessly devoured by tongues of fla and burned to ash.
Its two giant hands swatted at its body, trying to extinguish the flas.
Lin Ye’s eyes narrowed. He imdiately requested a communication link on the personal terminal on his right wrist.
The call connected, and Shi Ruifeng’s voice, a complex mix of tension and shock, ca through. "Lin Ye! What’s your status? Are you okay?"
"Should we begin fire suppression asures now?"
In addition to Incendiary Bullets, the military jet was also equipped with a highly effective, potent fire suppressant.
"No."
Lin Ye’s voice was perfectly calm, without the slightest ripple. Transmitted into the jet, it left everyone inside montarily stunned.
"I need your help."
"Use my current position as the epicenter. I need another saturation drop covering a two-hundred-ter radius."
"Use more Incendiary Bullets to completely encircle this monster!"
"We absolutely cannot let it escape. If it gets away, killing it will be next to impossible!"
The other end of the line went dead silent.
Everyone in the jet, Shi Ruifeng included, was frozen in disbelief.
’More... Drop more?’
’He’s not only unafraid of the fire, he thinks it’s not big enough?’
After a brief silence, Shi Ruifeng took a deep breath, suppressed the raging storm in his heart, and forced out a single word through clenched teeth.
"Alright!"
"Stay safe, and keep the line open!"
Shi Ruifeng and his team moved with lightning speed.
Flawless execution was in their blood.
The mont after Lin Ye requested another drop, the fighter jet hovering overhead opened its bomb bay doors once again.
This ti, it wasn’t just one.
It was four!
Four even more brilliant trails of fire streaked across the fla-lit night sky, precisely striking four points in a circle around the initial impact zone!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Four violent explosions erupted in succession!
The sea of flas instantly expanded outward by a hundred ters!
What had been a fire in the central area was now a massive cage of roaring flas, completely consuming everything within a radius of several hundred ters!
Fine beads of sweat finally appeared on Lin Ye’s forehead.
Even covered in Shadow Scale, he could feel the ambient temperature soaring to a terrifying level—at least 800 degrees.
The Shadow Scale’s insulating properties and his Fla Resistance were nearing their limit.
But he also realized his objective was largely accomplished.
His goal was to exploit the fungal filants’ vulnerability to high temperatures. He would use this sea of fire to completely sever all connections between the external mycelial network and the Fungal Descendant Corpse King before him!
He considered all the black mycelia in the forest and the corpses they controlled to be a single, complete life form.
And now, with fire from the heavens, he had completely severed the brain of this life form from its body!
Within the vast sea of fire.
Lin Ye drew the Star-Piercing Spear from his back.
The dark spear shaft showed no sign of warping under the intense heat; it was barely even warm to the touch.
Instead, the mysterious, river-of-stars-like blue patterns on the shaft seed to co alive in the firelight, flowing slowly and emitting a cool aura.
’Ouyang Ye really forged a fine spear!’ Lin Ye marveled to himself.
「The next mont.」
Lin Ye moved.
His figure a blur of motion, he charged fearlessly into the core of the inferno, where the heat was most intense!
The temperature skyrocketed.
Lin Ye gritted his teeth against the wave of heat that threatened to burn through his Shadow Scale, his spear instantly shifting into the relentless Breaking Army Form.
He and his spear beca one, a black thunderbolt tearing through the flas to clash violently with the roaring, skeletal behemoth!
Every one of Lin Ye’s thrusts was wide and powerful, imbued with peerless force, stripping away large chunks of corrupted tissue from the beast’s body!
The tangled fungal filants within were exposed, and with a single lick of fla, they let out a SIZZLE, shriveling and dying instantly.
Lin Ye’s plan was to use this simple, brutal thod to peel away its outer shell, layer by layer!
Until the creature revealed its true core!
"ROAR—!"
Realizing that Lin Ye was the true threat, the behemoth began a frenzied counterattack.
Its massive hand, ford from countless bones and black mycelia, blotted out the sky as it slamd down on Lin Ye!
The vicious downdraft from the blow even flattened the surrounding flas!
Lin Ye didn’t dare underestimate it. Pushing off hard, his figure flashed, and he narrowly dodged the thunderous blow.
CRASH!
A crater several ters deep appeared where he had just been standing, and the entire ground trembled violently from the impact!
’If that had hit ,’ Lin Ye thought, ’I have no doubt that even if I survived, I’d have several broken bones and be hamred straight into the ground.’
Dodging the blow, Lin Ye didn’t pause for an instant before pressing forward again.
In the blinding inferno, his spear beca a black tempest, a flurry of devastating strikes.
