Chapter 452: Chapter 392: Take Action and Capture
After a brief exchange, Jeming and Anya quickly reached a consensus.
The predicament before them seemed tricky, but when broken down, it consisted of two main parts: the core Sixth Level Lord of Light Beings and its massive but individually weak legion of light beings.
"I initially came out for a technical exchange, so I have limited combat units," Jeming thought to himself. "The space inside my body only has two Black Giant Priests permanently stationed. However, it should be enough to handle the core target."
After all, Black Giant Priests, as special mutations, are naturally Sixth Level, possessing high intelligence and unique abilities.
When two priests join forces, capturing an elemental creature of the same level that has just ascended and whose realm is unstable has a very high success rate.
The challenge lay in creating a "duel" environment free from interference for the priests.
Listening to Jeming’s brief explanation of his combat abilities, Anya quickly understood, despite her surprise.
"So our task is to clear the field and provide cover," Anya said calmly. "Block those minions and don’t let them interfere with the actions of those... Black Giant Priests. Besides..."
She paused, then added, "If conditions permit, I think we should capture as many of these ordinary light beings as possible. The Starfall Ancestor would likely be interested in their collective behavior and sociality."
"Agreed," Jeming replied. "You’ll infiltrate from the outside, create chaos, and attract part of their forces. But not yet; I’ll first create a ’signal’ internally to firmly pin the core target’s attention on me, preventing it from detecting your approach and launching a surprise attack."
"Understood. I’ve reached the upper fissure and am ready. Waiting for your signal," Anya replied.
As for what the signal was...
Jeming’s gaze penetrated the phase space membrane, locking onto the brilliant, energy-filled Sixth Level Lord of Light Beings below.
It was still incessantly searching for the traces of the previous "intruder," scanning every inch of the cave like a spotlight, highly vigilant.
Now is the time!
At the exact moment a round of searching ended, Jeming’s eyes sharpened, and his form within the phase space abruptly launched!
A massive influx of data poured into his mind, and using the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror’s computational sharing, Jeming pushed the phase shift speed to its limits.
He turned into a shadow imperceptible to the naked eye, charging directly toward the core position of the Lord of Light Beings!
In a phase shift state, he existed in a different spatial layer from the main plane, theoretically able to pass through any entity.
However, phase space itself is a simulated temporary false space created to mimic real space, where theoretically the "shape" of the phase space and external space should coincide.
When his "shadow" trajectory completely overlapped with the "entity" of the Lord of Light Beings containing terrifying energy on the spatial coordinates—
Buzz!!!
A violent spatial repulsion erupted!
The Lord of Light Beings wasn’t purely an energy heap; its core contained the imprinted spiritual law from its enlightenment and the newly acquired Sixth Level life status, giving its very existence a stabilizing and "marking" effect on the surrounding space.
Jeming’s high-speed, close-range phase penetration tried to force a thin veil through a mass of scorching, viscous lava, provoking fierce friction and turbulence on the spatial level.
A piercing cracking sound echoed in Jeming’s perception—not a physical sound, but feedback from the space’s structure wailing.
The phase space he temporarily constructed, when passing through the "entity" of the Lord of Light Beings, couldn’t withstand the "difference" with reality and completely collapsed!
Jeming’s form was forcibly "squeezed" out of the phase space, reappearing on the main plane, just not far behind the Lord of Light Beings.
And at the moment when the phase space completely collapsed and reintegrated into unity with the main plane, the violent spatial shearing force produced by the intersection of the two spatial layers, which couldn’t be obliterated by any conventional means, was released along the path Jeming penetrated!
Spatial Slash!
A narrow, black, silent fissure, seemingly capable of swallowing even light, appeared out of thin air at the "waist" of the Lord of Light Beings.
The fissure flickered and vanished, but the destruction it caused was clearly visible—the massive body of the Lord of Light Beings was cleanly "cut" into two halves by this spatial fault!
At the point of separation, the light was chaotic, and the energy poured out in torrents like a burst dam.
"Roar!!!"
A soul-shaking mental roar swept through the entire cave; it wasn’t a sound, but pure soul shock.
The roar was filled with pain, rage, and disbelief.
The Lord of Light Beings’ light flickered fiercely, and the severed parts quickly drew closer, with countless light strands extending from the breaks, trying to reconnect.
The elemental creature’s characteristics were clear; although it looked terrifying, such a physical form of cutting wasn’t a fatal injury.
As long as the core and energy supply were intact, elemental creatures could quickly recover.
But this sudden and severe injury undoubtedly disrupted its rhythm, bringing significant pain and energy loss.
Jeming’s precise and vicious strike successfully maxed out the hatred levels of the Lord of Light Beings and its entire legion!
All the attention of the light beings was firmly locked onto this suddenly appearing "ugly flesh monster" who grievously injured their "king"!
"Now’s the time!"
Anya’s eyes lit up, fully aware that this was Jeming’s so-called signal.
Almost simultaneously as the Lord of Light Beings roared in anger, a shadow on the cave’s upper rock wall suddenly boiled!
