Chapter 130: Won?

“Master, my cosmic star energy is down to half. Should I still unleash my full power?” Kipon suddenly asked loudly. His recovery speed couldn’t compare to Blue Sky’s, and using full power was rapidly draining his cosmic star energy.

“Hm... continue,” Blue Sky replied after a moment’s thought, deciding to let Kipon keep attacking with all his might.

But his mind was elsewhere.

What Bai meant was that the Gold-Eroding Clan possessed incredibly strong defenses, extreme speed, and billions of parasitic creatures. Yet... did their formidable defense also include equally strong mental resistance?

With his current mental strength, could he inflict damage on them?

This prolonged battle of attrition was no solution; neither of them could afford to exhaust themselves against the Gold-Eroding Clan.

Blue Sky had already set his sights on the clan’s mother entity.

“Bai, what if I disregard those disgusting parasites and launch a direct mental assault on the Gold-Eroding Clan’s core? What do you think?” As his mental power surged dramatically, Blue Sky conceived a daring plan.

“You’re underestimating the Gold-Eroding Clan... Their outer shell is comparable to superalloy—exceptionally durable. That doesn’t mean their mental defense is weak; the special magnetic field surrounding us is constructed through their mental power. Do you think their mental defense is any less formidable?” Bai shook his head in denial, then hesitated before adding, “However... since you’ve mastered the first layer of the Soul Suppressing Tower, and with the blessing of the Divine Aura, it’s not impossible to try. After all, there’s no better option right now...”

Bai mulled it over as the data core ran extensive calculations. “Hmm... it’s worth a try, but the Gold-Eroding Clan is extremely vengeful. Once you attack, be prepared for a fight to the death.”

“What’s there to fear? If it comes to that, we’ll die fighting! Isn’t this already a battle to the death? Look at how many parasites it keeps spewing. Do you think it’ll just let me and Kipon go?” Blue Sky gritted his teeth, resolute.

“Kipon, stop attacking. Focus entirely on protecting me!” With his decision made, Blue Sky no longer hesitated. He ordered Kipon to shield him as his soul realm began to churn violently.

Mental attacks didn’t usually require preparation, but facing such a terrifying foe he had no confidence against, he would either hold back completely or unleash his full power.

Within Blue Sky’s soul realm, under his full exertion, the radiance of the Soul Suppressing Tower flared once more. According to the methods recorded in the Soul Suppressing Tower, vast mental energies surged rapidly along a unique path, flowing through the layered internal structures of the tower’s first level.

Then, one by one, sharp spikes forged entirely of mental energy manifested at the entrance of the tower’s first tier.

This was a secret technique unique to the first layer of the Soul Suppressing Tower—the Soul Spikes!

Blue Sky had only comprehended this technique after completing the first layer.

Judging by this, each of the nine layers in the Soul Suppressing Tower might contain its own secret technique!

For a cultivation-based mental technique to include nine distinct secret methods—that made the Soul Suppressing Tower a true gem among secret arts!

“How is this possible?!” Bai exclaimed, incredulous upon learning this, since he had never heard his master mention it or seen him use it.

“There’s nothing impossible. You know that after completing the first layer, the Soul Suppressing Tower autonomously produces soul seeds. Your master has reached the third layer but hasn’t produced a single soul seed. That indicates... maybe your master never truly completed the first layer!” Blue Sky’s eyes gleamed with sharp insight as he analyzed aloud, his soul tirelessly converting raw mental energy into more Soul Spikes.

In the end, apart from the mental energy already intertwined with the tower’s essence, Blue Sky transformed all remaining mental power into seventy-two Soul Spikes.

At the same time, his aura surged to its highest peak ever. The aura exuded by the sharp Soul Spikes made him resemble a drawn sword, poised to strike directly at the Gold-Eroding Clan’s mother entity.

Then, the seventy-two Soul Spikes, enhanced by the flow of Divine Aura and cloaked in the Cang Blood Starfire’s blessing, unleashed Blue Sky’s most powerful strike yet.

“Go!”

In the next moment, the seventy-two Soul Spikes, carrying Blue Sky’s full strength, shot toward the Gold-Eroding Clan’s mother entity at unmatched speed!

Without a sound, the Soul Spikes pierced the thick, hardened shell and struck into the clan’s brain region—a grotesque, concealed spherical mass about the size of an ordinary car tire nestled within the shell’s crevices, if it could even be called a brain.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed.

Blue Sky, anxious at first, then erupted with joy as the continuous eruption of parasitic creatures from the massive crater finally ceased!

The Gold-Eroding Clan’s mother entity, enormous enough to rival three or four passenger cosmic vessels, hovered motionless in space without any response.

“Did we win?” Blue Sky asked uncertainly.

“I don’t know...” Bai was also unsure. “Let’s wait and see.”

“It’s gone! It’s really gone!” Blue Sky suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

“What’s gone?” Bai stared intently at the massive crater, bewildered.

“Obviously, what else could be gone but that special magnetic field limiting the Blazing Divine Armor! Just now, that field suddenly vanished!” Blue Sky felt the Blazing Divine Armor’s amplification surge again by two levels, laughing joyously, practically dancing with excitement.

The Soul Spikes had indeed taken effect—the Gold-Eroding Clan’s soul was likely annihilated!

“Kipon! Use all your strength; let’s break through with everything we’ve got!” Blue Sky immediately commanded. Without the clan’s support, the surrounding parasites, though still numerous, no longer posed a threat.

“Yes, Master!” As a slave, Kipon had no objection and immediately began to forcefully break through in a single direction.

“Wait... I fear this isn’t over yet...” Just as Blue Sky was filled with confidence, ready to break out, Bai’s trembling voice reached his ears. “I think... I saw it move again...”

“Shreee!”

Before Blue Sky could respond, a sharp, piercing screech echoed from afar, wiping the smile off his face. His expression darkened as he struggled to lift his gaze.

The Gold-Eroding Clan’s mother entity, once thought dead, was thrashing violently, emitting furious roars. The vanished special magnetic field reappeared, engulfing the entire area once more!

And the massive crater, which had ceased activity, was again spewing parasitic creatures...

“Damn it! That bloody Gold-Eroding Clan! How could it not be dead?!” Blue Sky roared in anger, his face shifting from dark to pale.

Panic gripped him; that previous strike was nearly his utmost power, yet it failed to kill the mother entity.

So... what other way was there to end it?

Countless thoughts raced through Blue Sky’s mind, but he reluctantly admitted that beyond that move, he seemed to have no trump cards left...
