Chapter 848: Chapter 439: Cleaning Up the Aftermath

Boom!

The moment the purple giant hammer collided, the surrounding life forms didn’t react in time, even the strongest among them were only S-level life forms, with fear barely surfacing in their eyes.

The terrifying energy that exploded before their eyes nearly engulfed everything.

The Infinite Hammer seemed to smash out all the energy contained within each cell of the Swearer, a black, ink-like tide roared like the sea.

From the perspective of the starfield, a corner of the pitch-black nest suddenly shattered, like a collapsing black hole, startling cracks began to appear on the metal framework, completely disintegrating into countless tiny fragments, shooting outwards in a frenzied manner.

"So powerful!"

At the energy center, the Swearer’s heart was shocked, though half her head was already blown apart, as an X-level life form, she could still think.

"Azure Dragon... how did he get here?" The Swearer thought incredulously, but then quickly realized that this was a trap!

Thoughts rapidly swirled in her mind, Li Ming was captured as bait set by Azure Dragon.

Originally, it was meant to catch those radicals, but by a twist of fate, she took the bait.

"Azu..."

Sparks of nerves traversed through the remaining half of her head, the Swearer attempted to communicate with the other party.

The actual target was the radicals, her people merely went along with it.

However, the other side refused to give her any opportunity, as soon as her spiritual fluctuations spread, a second hammer came crashing down, equally ruthless, aiming straight at what’s left of her head.

There was no flashy energy, just the purest surge of power; wherever it passed, the boiling energy particles were obliterated into nothingness.

Space was compressed to an extreme, forming a palpable shockwave, crashing down like a giant star falling.

There was no time for too much thought, the Swearer’s heart was filled with alarm, and a surge of pitch-black energy erupted from her body, spreading rapidly like a tide, freezing the surrounding space, forming a honeycomb-like defensive structure.

Boom!

The Infinite Hammer harshly descended, this time the Swearer managed effective defense, the collision more astounding than ever.

The second wave of energy ripples burst forth abruptly, its momentum as fierce as a raging tide, spreading madly with an endless aura of destruction.

The remaining part of the nest was instantly pulverized into dust, and the already shattered structure completely vaporized. The immense power made the surrounding space emit ominous creaks under unbearable strain.

The violent energy aftershock continued to rampage, dimming the stars, causing the void to shudder.

There were no surviving life forms nearby, those unable to escape were turned to dust in the previous energy explosion.

Farther away, a few lingering S-level life forms trembled in fear.

This time, the destructive power wasn’t as great as last time, because [Super·Charging Strike] couldn’t be triggered continuously, it required a three-second interval.

But under the first attack, the Swearer was already severely injured.

"Azure Dragon, you..." The Swearer’s spiritual fluctuations carried incredible anger, and black special symbols appeared all over her body, energy erupted, as if some kind of liberation was underway.

Crack—

The honeycomb-like defense structure cracked, Li Ming delivered another hammer, even without [Super·Charging Strike], under various enhancements, the regular energy level was approaching 100X.

The Swearer’s heart trembled with fear, was this Azure Dragon insane, she wasn’t the instigator, and he wouldn’t even listen to a word?

She couldn’t mobilize her body’s energy in time, as the hammer fell, tearing through most of her body, flesh, bone, splattering everywhere.

"You... we can talk! We can join forces against those radicals, I can help you..." The Swearer tried to make him stop, but he had already heavily injured her and now wouldn’t give her any chance to respond, she really could be killed at this rate.

Li Ming, possessed by the Tank Guard, ignored everything around, focusing only on the Swearer’s broken body, hammer after hammer.

The area was nearly turned into a black ocean, faintly revealing purple flashes continuously erupting.

"Oh?" Suddenly, Li Ming’s actions paused slightly, the final hammer to fall came to an abrupt halt in front of the Swearer’s shattered head.

At this moment, the opponent was left with barely half of her body, her aura diminished to the extreme.

"Endured a whole sixteen hammers from me..." Li Ming speculated in his heart, this Swearer probably hadn’t stepped onto the Ultimate Path, but was surely close.

However, due to his sneak attack, she lost the upper hand and was directly smashed into pulp.

"You..." The Swearer’s consciousness nearly dissipated, her spirit anchored to the flesh, unless she was an evolved entity related to spiritual abilities, it was hard to exist outside the body.

"Azure Dragon, I... we can cooperate." The Swearer’s spiritual fluctuations were extremely weak, seemingly about to disperse the next second.

Li Ming’s body shuddered, six Mechanical Guards emerged from his body, "Watch out, don’t let anyone escape from here."

Then he tossed out a secondary dimension barracks, a large number of mechanical bodies flew out, starting to tidy up the site.

Most of the nest was ground into dust under their attack, only a small portion remained due to its location.

Li Ming kept the Swearer alive, purely intending to extract her genetic essence, already clutching her broken head.

"Cooperate, do you know the coordinates of the other group’s lair?" Li Ming asked, suddenly realizing that after upgrading to [Ultimate Warrior], the speed of absorbing genetic essence had significantly increased.

Originally, it might have taken over an hour, but now it seems he only needed half an hour.

"I..." The Swearer struggled to maintain her vitality, new flesh writhing at her wounds, emitting weak spiritual fluctuations, "I don’t know, but we can cooperate in other ways..."
