Chapter 406: Chapter 285: Mysterious Aura

This moment, not only Professor Zhang Songlin saw that eerie woman whose half-figure was hidden in the darkness, Lin Yue, Li Yi, and even two powerful beings from the Soul Realm, along with several unknown masters of the Spiritual Realm, all saw her too. They were rather unfortunate to be swept into an event that didn’t belong to them.

Comparatively, Li Yi was immensely shocked at this moment.

He never expected that his mother, who had been silent for many years, would suddenly appear before him like this. However, her current appearance... was completely different from the silent figure he remembered lying in the medical pod, filled with eeriness and chilliness. If not for the familiar face she bore, he would never believe that this entity could be his mother.

Li Yi now understood why, whether it was Sister Lin or Professor Zhang Songlin, both had outright denied the identity of his mother.

It had already reached this state; no one would think this was a normal Silent One. It was mostly some kind of evil, horrifying object, using the identity of Li Yi’s mother as cover to invade this world, and the time of this invasion was very likely the moment six years ago when Li Yi’s parents experienced soul crossing.

So, it was highly probable that Li Yi’s real parents had already been met with harm, which is why they remained silent and could not awaken.

After realizing all this, Li Yi’s face underwent rapid changes. Following that, he let out a tragic scream, covering his head with his hands as severe pain surged again.

"Li Yi, what’s wrong?" Lin Yue exclaimed in shock.

"His memories and cognition are being manipulated. This thing, having disguised itself as Li Yi’s mother for so long without detection, is the reason why," explained Professor Zhang Songlin. "Back when Li Yi was still a normal person, it was no big deal if his memory was manipulated. But now, he has evolved into one with Spiritual Sense, and even has a soul in his body. Naturally, having his memories manipulated now would mean unimaginable pain and torment."

"Ah, such a poor child. I don’t even know how many memories of his have been altered over these six years, or how much of his experiences are still real."

Lin Yue said anxiously, "But I’ve met Li Yi’s mother before. Each time she appeared, it was to protect Li Yi. She shouldn’t want to harm him."

"Protect?"

Professor Zhang Songlin shook his head, "Lin Yue, don’t be naive. Farmers also protect chickens, feeding them, but do you think the farmers do it for the chickens’ sake? It’s only for the day when they are ready to be slaughtered. Until that slaughter day comes, if Li Yi encounters any danger, it would naturally step in to resolve it."

With these words, Lin Yue’s face turned pale, and she seemed disoriented for a moment.

"But today, it seems this entity has set its sights on me, I don’t know if I can survive it," he then said with a stern and solemn face.

Even in his current state, he had no confidence that he could remain unharmed, especially since the entity’s power was beyond comprehension.

Soon.

The blood rain in the sky became heavier, soaking everyone, with a strong, pungent stench of blood pervading the air, which was quite irritating. At this moment, the eerie woman who stood in the darkness, now soaked in the blood rain and bearing a ghastly pale face, advanced slowly with a chilling smile.

Her steps were stiff and slow, she didn’t cover much distance with each step, but mysteriously, she had already reached Professor Zhang Songlin thirty meters away after just taking a few steps.

"Has space been altered?" Professor Zhang Songlin’s eyes, sparkling with strange luminescence, suddenly narrowed, and then his whole body slightly swayed, instantly splitting into three figures, each of which soared into the air, flying in different directions.

All three figures were solid, not illusory, but they still exuded a strong wave of energy.

Clearly, two of these figures were not made of flesh and blood but were projections of the soul power controlling universal energy.

Professor Zhang Songlin wanted to use this method to see what the other party would do.

However, the eerie woman, without any pause, took several steps forward, her figure swiftly closing the distance towards the real Professor Zhang Songlin, completely ignoring the two fake bodies.

"So it seems, I have violated a taboo, attracted misfortune, hence it locked onto me. The decoys couldn’t deceive it. Moreover, from its actions just now, it didn’t spend any time distinguishing between real and fake, but instead came straight for me," Professor Zhang Songlin grasped some of the reasons but was even more uneasy.

Being targeted by such an evil entity was not a good thing.

Given that, he could only try to eliminate it.

In this moment, arcs of electricity began to emerge around Professor Zhang Songlin, and quickly these arcs dramatically expanded, transforming into mighty thunderbolts entangled around him, while the humming sound of the electric arcs resounded, astonishing everyone.

Controlling thunder and lightning?

Could an Evolver really reach such a level?

This was practically indistinguishable from the immortals mentioned in legends.

Whether they were beings of the Spiritual Realm or Soul Realm Evolvers, at this moment, all widened their eyes.

Professor Zhang Songlin reached out his hand and grabbed the lightning. The thick pulsating arc of electricity was easily held in his grasp, as if tamed, and then he saw him hurl the lightning as if it were a spear, in an instant transforming the thick arc into a lightning strike.

It moved so fast that even the Evolvers had a hard time catching it with their eyes, let alone dodging it, meaning this was a sure hit.

The lightning struck the eerie woman instantly.

Boom!

A thunderous noise, earth-shaking and unimaginably powerful, caused everyone just watching to feel their hearts pound and their Spiritual Sense go into overdrive, knowing that if even a wisp of this electric arc hit them, they would be reduced to ash.

Unexpectedly, Professor Zhang Songlin, who was usually mild-mannered, once he took action, could control thunder and lightning to strike down the enemy so fiercely.

After the lightning strike, a stench of burning spread through the air.

Where the lightning had struck, only a large crater remained, as for the eerie woman from just moments before, she had vanished without a trace, seemingly blasted into dust, leaving no sign behind.

"They’re dead." Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right.

Even if it’s an evil object, there’s no reason not to die after being struck by a bolt of lightning.

However, at this moment, Zhang Songlin’s face did not show any trace of relief; it remained extremely solemn because he did not feel that he had won yet.

And indeed, it turned out exactly as he guessed.

The next moment.

From the nearby darkness, another eerie woman slowly walked out, identical to the woman who had just been struck by the lightning, with no difference whatsoever.

Not only that, from another part of the darkness, a second woman walked out.

A third, a fourth... the number kept increasing.

"How can this be?" This situation made Wang Bo, a powerhouse in the Soul Realm, couldn’t help but be shocked.

Kill one, and so many come?

"What kind of existence did Li Yi’s mother provoke six years ago when she crossed realms..." Lin Yue was also shocked by this, while Li Yi was still suffering from the pain of altered memories.

If nothing is done about this, everyone might end up dead here today.

"It seems that my attacks can only destroy the tangible entities, yet cannot erase that intangible power, and the real danger is from that incomprehensible intangible force. No choice but to fight desperately, hoping for a turnaround, otherwise, once my soul power is exhausted and cosmic energy depleted, I cannot escape fate either." Zhang Songlin took a deep breath at this moment.

Such a crisis had not been encountered for many years, the last being after soul crossing.

The next moment, the thunderous light around his body shone brighter.

Zhang Songlin bathed in the thunder light, his soul power rippling outward, manipulating the lightning to strike down foes in an instant, but just as he thought, while his attacks were powerful, he could only obliterate their physical bodies. As long as that incomprehensible force remained, the eerie women would again step out from the darkness.

Seeing such a scene, a Spirit Realm Evolver couldn’t help wanting to escape.

"Don’t be foolish." Wang Bo chided sternly.

But it was too late.

That person had already rushed into nearby darkness and vanished in a blink of an eye, never returning nor appearing outside, seemingly completely lost from this world.

"Don’t expect to be able to escape, being sealed off by such an incomprehensible power, fleeing is the most foolish move." Wang Bo warned everyone again.

The roar of thunder and lightning was incessant by their ears.

Zhang Songlin, truly a top contender among the Evolvers, wielded the lightning and struck in all directions, like an immortal descending to earth, miraculously stabilizing the situation even under these circumstances.

But even the strongest have their moments of exhaustion.

Eerie figures continuously surged from the darkness, but what was even more despairing was when they looked up, they saw countless intertwined bodies in the sky, wailing and showing painful expressions, presenting a scene akin to Hell, nearly collapsing those with weaker mental fortitude.

"What in the world is this evil thing." Someone couldn’t help but roar loudly.

However, the next moment.

The sky no longer rained blood, it was Corpse Water, countless bodies densely fell, forming a mountain of corpses, enough to drown a person.

"It’s over."

Lin Yue, at this moment, wanted to avoid it with Li Yi, but she only took a couple of steps before the bodies fell and quickly buried both of them.

Not just them.

The others were in the same situation.

And with the sudden worsening of the situation, even the pervasive lightning strikes felt like they were being extinguished.

Zhang Songlin, overwhelmed, could not withstand such conditions alone; he could only defend a corner, fighting desperately to buy time for survival.

"Do I really have to abandon my body and cross realms to escape?"

He knew, continuing this way, not only could he not protect these students, he would also die, the only way was for his soul to cross realms and escape the entanglement.

But just as a great crisis unfolded here.

In a corner of Tian Han City.

A young man drinking cola looked in this direction, but seeing nothing from such a distance, he couldn’t help but frown, "I seem to smell a familiar scent... that is a supernatural aura."
