**Chapter 706: Pain Demoness**
At first, the attack could carve a massive hole straight through the Dharma Form’s chest—large enough to swallow an entire town.
Yet after several direct hits, the sa level of piercing force could now only leave a house-sized crater in the Dharma Form’s head. Jie Ming’s mood did not improve. Even after enduring so many strikes, he still could not see the enemy.
He could not see it, which ant he could not counterattack.
He could not see it, which ant that even if he stacked his resistances to the limit, he would only turn himself into a harder-to-pierce target.
anwhile, the opponent could simply bypass him and charge straight into the Infernal Sulfur Plane.
With that level of penetration, the plane’s barrier and defensive arrays would not hold at all.
The Black Giant Legion, the Incense Fire Divine Dao, the incubation pools, the elent pools… everything he had accumulated over thousands of years would be as fragile as paper before such an enemy.
Jie Ming’s thoughts raced at high speed, rapidly searching for any information that could restrain this foe.
The wreckage of the Divine Armants, the scenes of the furnace core releasing life-force storage tanks, the structure of over a hundred Divine Armants sealed inside that satellite, the research data from the Tentacle Tree Civilization…
All the fragnts rapidly assembled in his mind.
The fact that over a hundred Divine Armants had been deliberately concentrated and sealed inside a single satellite clearly showed they had not simply been tossed there at random. If it were re inventory, there would have been no need for such asures.
Why gather so many suits of armor in one place? And why arrange them in that specific configuration?
The more reasonable explanation was… it was not a warehouse at all, but a cage!
A cage ant to imprison sothing.
All the studied Divine Armants had wildly different attack thods—matter manipulation, energy projection, spatial collapse—seemingly no common ground. Yet Jie Ming knew there was one shared point: their activation thod.
His eyes lit up.
Every Divine Armant shared the sa activation condition: absorbing life force.
Grasping this crucial point, Jie Ming’s thoughts pierced through the final layer of fog.
“That wasn’t a biological extinction device…”
He murmured to himself, the light in his eyes growing colder.
“It was a prison built for a single species.”
The original purpose of the Divine Armants might never have been to slaughter life.
The countless beings indiscriminately wiped out were rely collateral damage. The true target had never been ordinary life forms from the beginning.
The so-called Divine Armants were a fusion of jailer and prison. Their various offensive capabilities existed only to prevent outsiders from destroying the jail! And the true thod they used to restrain their enemy was the seemingly insignificant activation requirent!
“Those foolish trees supplied life force beyond the limit!” Jie Ming instantly understood the cause of this accident.
There was no doubt that this unknown enemy also harbored an enormous craving for life force. When the excessive life force surpassed the Divine Armants’ absorption threshold, the prisoner originally trapped inside the cage had been able to awaken.
Deep within Jie Ming’s spiritual sea, countless runes surged out from the database of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror. They rapidly recombined with the energy channeling architecture, core pulse frequencies, and biomass conversion patterns he had previously analyzed from the Divine Armants.
A brand-new sorcery frawork was constructed in an extrely short ti.
Thus, outside the Dharma Form, a strange crimson light began to erge across Jie Ming’s true body.
The red light did not spread outward. Instead, it slowly contracted inward like breathing, its frequency perfectly matching the rhythm at which the Divine Armants absorbed life force during activation. The next invisible attack arrived right on cue.
The damage that should have pierced straight through the Dharma Form’s chest encountered the circle of dark-red ripples and suddenly deviated by the slightest margin.
The originally straight attack trajectory bent by a small angle.
Yet this tiny deflection caused the penetration that should have struck the center of the chest to veer toward the outer side of the left shoulder instead.
Feeling the curved piercing wound inside his Dharma Form, the corners of Jie Ming’s mouth slowly pulled back, revealing a cold, fierce smile.
“Found you.”
Without hesitation, he smashed a fist into his own face.
Bang!
The sound of his nasal bone shattering spread throughout the Dharma Form via the true body’s energy resonance.
Jie Ming put no restraint into this punch. Dark-golden blood imdiately gushed from his nasal cavity, splattering into the void.
At the sa ti, Jie Ming shook the surrounding elents, and his voice suddenly resounded through the theoretically vacuum of space: “Senior Sister!”
A lazy yet elegant voice replied, “I’m here.”
Buzz…
The floating blood droplets suddenly froze in place.
Strands of pale-gray smoke slowly rose from Jie Ming’s collapsed nasal bridge.
That was pain.
Pain that Jie Ming had actively created.
This pain originating from himself was rendered tangible in an invisible form.
The smoke grew denser and more abundant, eventually condensing into a complete human figure in front of the Dharma Form’s chest.
Silver-gray long hair and a deep-blue robe, with an elegant yet dangerous smile at the corners of her mouth.
Pain Demoness Viola had descended.
Using the pain from Jie Ming’s punch as an anchor, she crossed the endless void directly from the Infernal Sulfur Plane.
As the logistics support for this plane war, Viola had actually been monitoring the entire plane’s movents the whole ti.
The mont Jie Ming encountered this bizarre attack, he had contacted her imdiately.
And she had been waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to drag that thing into a “perceptible range.”
Viola raised her eyes and looked in a certain direction. Her smile deepened bit by bit.
“So that’s where you were hiding.”
She extended her right hand and gently clenched her five fingers.
Boom!!!
A violent, invisible fluctuation exploded in the void.
In the next instant, a large amount of visible pain smoke surged out from that seemingly empty region.
The entity’s true form still did not appear, but the pain produced by Jie Ming’s newly created sorcery had betrayed its position.
Jie Ming’s gaze flashed. He imdiately took a horizontal step, positioning himself in front of Viola.
In the next mont, the Dharma Form’s chest was pierced once again.
Yet the destructive power of this strike was already far weaker than before.
The previous deflection of the attack trajectory proved that this creature had indeed felt “pain” because of Jie Ming’s newly created sorcery.
As long as the opponent could feel pain, it ant it was not a truly formless entity.
As long as it could sense pain, it could be locked onto by the Law of Pain.
And what the Pain Demoness excelled at most was precisely locating the pain of other beings.
Viola clenched her five fingers tighter. The pain smoke erupted madly from the depths of the void, writhing and struggling like countless skinned venomous snakes tumbling through invisible space.
The entity finally showed a reaction.
The location where the pain smoke appeared rapidly retreated, indicating that the thing was preparing to flee!
Seeing this, Viola frowned slightly and exerted more force. The void shook even more violently.
The pain smoke surged like a tide, yet the entity withdrew even faster.
Helpless, Viola could only raise her power to the limit.
In the end, even the final wisp of pain smoke dissipated within the intense light of the star.
The battlefield returned to deathly silence.
Viola slowly withdrew her hand, a rare trace of genuine regret appearing on her face. “What a pity. I couldn’t stop it. I could only kill it.”
