Chapter 467: 427 Countermeasures One

Earth-Moon, near-Earth orbit.

Like schools of fish leaping out of water, a large formation of flying vehicles soared towards the battlefield.

A black figure leaped forth, taking on the same posture as the aircraft, head up with hands together at the sides, and rocketed straight towards the battlefield of Reinforced Humans’ mechas and Flying Yi aircraft.

Countless black flying vehicles trailed long, pale blue light tails behind them, resembling fireworks racing into the night sky.

And among these countless fireworks, that black figure was an anomaly.

"Ying, remember to act according to the original plan," a calm male voice resonated in the figure’s mind.

"Understood. What about Saul?" the figure lifted his head, revealing a cold masculine face.

"He has already gone ahead, you know how impatient he can be," the voice replied.

"Indeed, we rarely get to enjoy such a sumptuous feast as in the Black Sea," Ying spoke in a low voice.

"Be careful of the Divine Star Generals, ignore the rest," the voice warned as a final reminder.

"Hmm," Ying cut off the contact and looked forward to what lay ahead.

In front of the vast white planet, densely packed points of light were colliding and interweaving, firing intermittent beams and missiles.

Explosions of varying sizes burst like bubbles in a basin of water, appearing and then shattering instantly.

Rings of radiant waves continually spread out from the explosions, silver, white, red, blue...

Utterly beautiful.

"Thanks for the hospitality," Ying’s eyes suddenly lit up with a faint golden glow, as concentric circles of darkness rapidly expanded around him.

The surrounding flying vehicles, as if on cue, automatically cleared a vast space around him.

"Kill!!"

Boom! Ying’s body suddenly exploded, transforming into countless shadows that spread like ink, contaminating the space hundreds of meters around him.

Aargh!!

A second later, a colossal black dragon burst from the shadows like a giant python, its wings on its back, roaring as it raised its head.

It surged from the shadows as if breaking the surface of a lake—first the head appeared, then the wings, and finally the tail of its dragon body.

When it fully emerged, its length was comparable to that of a large space battleship.

The immense body, thousands of meters long, writhed and flapped its wings, spiraling upwards before plunging towards the military position of the White Star.

Hiss!

In an instant, Shadow Flash occurred and he appeared out of nowhere directly in the midst of the White Star Reinforced Humans’ formation.

Countless beams and missiles bombarded him as if they were free, but only managed to break a few of his scales, causing a trickle of blood to flow.

Instead, the Shadow Dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a massive black and red fire column that swept across the Reinforced Humans’ mechas like a giant laser beam.

With this strike, a vast area was instantly cleared within the formation, with at least hundreds of Reinforced Humans incinerated in a flash.

The shadows of hundreds of Reinforced Humans were involuntarily attracted to Ying, flying into his body from below.

This is the traditional power enhancement method of the Shadow Dragon Clan, devouring the shadows of others.

Only the purest of pure-blooded Shadow Dragons can use this special talent.

As Ying devoured hundreds of shadows in an instant, the dark aura around his body grew even denser, imperceptible to outsiders, his overall strength had increased by a sliver compared to just moments ago.

At the same time, the other two Shadow Dragons also revealed their true forms in other areas of the battlefield, beginning to frantically devour Reinforced Humans.

A massive number of shadows were consumed by them, and as they absorbed the shadows, their power rapidly increased with the slaughter.

The three had come to this blind spot, where their strength was suppressed; some of the absorbed shadows were for replenishing their original power, while the rest were for a certain plan...

At the rear of the battlefield, on the Royal Mother Ship of Yi Country.

Dongjun and Ding Meng stood shoulder to shoulder, with only the two of them remaining at the rear, as Jiu Yi’s other members were dispatched to preside over different parts of the battlefield.

Ding Meng stayed as a reserve force, ready to support any position at any time.

Dongjun, on the other hand, was Yi Country’s ultimate weapon, the final ace in the hole, not to be deployed lightly.

A three-dimensional star map, taller than a person, hovered between them, with Earth-Moon and White Star planets clearly simulated, demonstrating the entire battlefield.

"Shadow Eating has begun," Ding Meng said gravely, glancing at the old man. "Many years ago, you told me that the creatures of the Black Sea are unpredictable and untrustworthy, and now..."

"It’s fine, the origin of the chain is in my hand; as long as the blade is not facing us, it does not matter," Dongjun Mutong said coldly, not even glancing at her, his eyes fixated on the battlefield.

"No, old man, I just feel like, have things really reached the point where we must rely on such creatures of the Black Sea to maintain balance?" Ding Meng said helplessly.

"This is our responsibility. Standing in our position, wealth, power, beauty, treasures—whatever we want, we can have. But day after day, life becomes tiresome and dull," Dongjun’s voice softened slightly. "People need a goal to continuously place their hopes, expectations, and everything on, an unattainable goal. Otherwise, they will fall into an empty black hole and be unable to extricate themselves."

"Old man..." Ding Meng rarely saw Dongjun showing such expressions.

Most of the time, he seemed more like a deity than a person.

It was only in rare moments, in the presence of those close to him, that the elderly man would occasionally exhibit a hint of humanity.

"The situation with Yuan Ying is becoming increasingly troublesome, we don’t have much time. The talents of the Shadow Dragon Clan are a problem for us, and even more so for White Star. No matter what Yuan Ying and White Emperor’s purpose is for buying time, let the Shadow Dragon Clan take the lead and probe. No matter how many die, it’s much better than us going ourselves."

After reassuring Ding Meng, Mu Tong’s expression was still cold, but he couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

If there were any other way, why would he need to ally with the three Shadow Dragons?

"Don’t worry, if an accident occurs, I will be the first to execute the three!"

Others feared the Shadow Dragons’ Shadow Exchange Ability and couldn’t cope with it, but it was different for him...

He had made a special mark on each of the three Shadow Dragons, unique to himself.

In fact, no one knew that besides being a Feiyi Master, he had stepped into the realm of the inhuman, using that incident from years ago.

Feiyi, his very self, and that core event from the past had long since merged into one.

As long as the Shadow Dragons don’t exceed the Second Imprint level, he could use his ability to instantly nullify all of their powers.

In truth, although the three great Shadow Dragons were strong, their Imprints were only at the first level. It was only because of their high baseline that they appeared so formidable after their power had evolved into an Imprint state.

But no matter how high the baseline is, any being, upon reaching the five Imprints level, will undergo an essential evolution. After the fifth Imprint, the initial high or low foundation of life no longer matters much.

Sensing the rapidly growing aura of the Shadow Dragons on the battlefield, the two fell into silence for a moment.

Within the unknown blind spot.

Whizz!!!

A huge buzzing sound chased from behind.

Li Chengyi used Shadow Flash combined with flying at full speed, flapping his wings frenetically forward.

At full burst, his movement speed had almost reached ten times the speed of sound.

After obtaining the Second Grey Bone Imprint, the bones throughout his body had gained a tremendous increase in strength under the effect of Grey Bone.

As a result, he was able to achieve even higher bursting speeds.

Actually, as long as the outputted force was large enough, the speed could be fast.

But previously, even though Li Chengyi possessed a powerful force that could rival those of the Grade Nine, he was far inferior in terms of speed because his body couldn’t withstand and react to such rapid states.

Maintaining this speed for an extended duration was a tremendous burden on both his consciousness power and flesh, and he couldn’t turn at will.

But now it was different.

Li Chengyi clearly felt that his body was taking the strain extremely easily and could treat it as a normal speed.

’Finally... I’ve caught up with the Grade Nine in terms of speed... But...’

He looked ahead, the Black Sea seemed boundless, with no end in sight.

And behind him, the wall of silver light dots appeared relentless, constantly chasing him at high speed.

’No wonder there’s no living creature in this place...’ He now knew the reason.

Changing direction, Li Chengyi immediately flew towards the golden buildings in the sky.

Perhaps there he could avoid the disaster trailing him.

He soared diagonally upward, reaching greater and greater heights, ten thousand meters, fifty thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters...

Initially, he could estimate the approximate height, but later he could no longer make sense of it, only knowing that he flew very high, far beyond the heights of the normal atmosphere and cloud layers.

The surroundings gradually filled with white clouds, seemingly entering deeper into the cloud layer.

However, the golden buildings were still in the distance, as if he had not gotten any closer.

Hiss!

Finally, Li Chengyi slowed down, looked back, and saw that the wall of silver light dots was no longer in sight.

At this altitude, the huge wall couldn’t chase him any longer.

Only...

Li Chengyi stayed still amid the clouds, looking towards a cluster of white clouds that had emerged before him, revealing a hint of vigilance in his expression.

He had dragged out the time for so long that the difficulty of this blind spot was bound to be extremely high, so...

Just then, the cloud of foggy sphere rapidly dispersed, revealing a huge white sphere made up of numerous spiky tendrils.

The sphere had a diameter of roughly two hundred meters, entirely composed of entwined white spiny vines.

And all the vines were moving rapidly, weaving through each other as if adjusting something.

Hiss!

In an instant, a white tendril shot out from the sphere, flying towards Li Chengyi.

The tendril was incredibly fast and had only flown a short distance when it suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Li Chengyi’s heart tightened as he instinctively felt something was off in the space to his right.

He hurriedly used Shadow Flash to move backward.

Even a wisp of a cloud’s shadow could serve as a basis for his Shadow Flash, so here, he could use it even more flexibly.

In the next instant, as he teleported away,

a white tendril emerged from where he had been, lashing out in all directions.

But this strike missed.

In the howling wind, the tendril changed direction and came at him again.

This time, seemingly in coordination, dozens of identical white tendrils flew from the sphere in various directions towards Li Chengyi.

The speed of these tendrils was incredibly fast, each one moving at more than five times the speed of sound.

For Li Chengyi at that moment, such speed was naturally no obstacle, but the trouble was that they would suddenly flicker out midway and reappear from the surrounding space.

It was as if they were piercing through space and leaping towards him.

Such sudden attacks were exceedingly difficult to deal with.

In an instant, Li Chengyi flashed away again, but having just avoided the attack of three tendrils, he was immediately faced with over a dozen more tendrils rushing in front of him.

He could only raise his hand to condense the Golden Sword and slash forwards.

Bang!!!

The Golden Sword Blade collided head-on with the tendrils, and a terrifying immense force surged from the vine, hammering heavily on the blade.

The Golden Sword flew out of his hand, shattering into petals, and Li Chengyi’s arms were lifted high from the impact.

The horrifying force sent his entire body flying backward in an instant.

This strength could no longer be calculated in terms of tons; it had far exceeded that range, reaching a level that Li Chengyi could not estimate at all.

Whoosh!!

He was flung backward like a rocket, and the Floral Dress on his body showed large fissures at the moment of contact.

Before he could recover, dozens of tendrils appeared behind him, rushing towards his back.

Bang!!

Once again, he was struck fiercely, getting hit like a shuttlecock and flying far away, upwards and diagonally.
