In essence, Demon Energy was evolved from the origin energy of the dark matter. The difference between Demon Energy and the Divine Light Essence was that Demon Energy was mixed with many negative emotions, thoughts, and hostility. Thus, Demon Energy evolved into Demon Energy. This was the opposite of the Divine Light warriors' philosophy.
In fact, everyone who had been on the battlefield had experienced this before. When everyone gathered in the darkness before dawn, they all felt cold. It wasn't because of the weather, but because everyone knew that they were about to go to the frontlines and kill people. Naturally, they would feel murderous, and murderous intent would make people feel cold. This kind of emotion was most suitable for Demons to cultivate.
At the end of the day, whether it was Demons, Protoss, or even human Origin Energy Users, the true essence of martial arts lay in the foundation of a large amount of actual combat. Although Jin Yuanquan's energy index was high, his foundation was still lacking. Speaking of which, a mid-level warrior with an energy index of 400 billion could indeed crush any Ares or Lords, but if he encountered a true expert, it would only be a bluff.
It made sense that Ding Meng looked down on him. You don't even have the most basic Demons' techniques like the cloak and the Black Dragon Wave. Where did you get your confidence from?
No matter how fast Jin Yuanquan circled the center of the field, Ding Meng was too lazy to even move. He opened his palm, and a strong light appeared in his palm again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of rapid noises rang out. Many divine lights were released and formed a circle around Ding Meng.
All of the black fog was absorbed by the Singularities, and the black fog of the force field gradually dimmed. Not long after, Jin Yuanquan's true body was revealed.
"That's it?" Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh.
Ji Chenxue also had a look of disdain. Jin Yuanquan's energy index had just reached 400 billion, and now it had dropped to 100 billion. Ding Meng's Diamond Astral Art was really amazing. Back then, he had learned the Assimilation Technique and the Phantom Technique in Entropy Silence, but he hadn't been able to learn the Diamond Astral Art. In the future, no matter what, he would find Ding Meng to learn it.
Jin Yuanquan took a few steps back, looked at his body, and asked in horror, "What did you do to me?"
Ding Meng said calmly, "It's nothing. I just used my Holy Light energy to offset your Demons energy."
"Offset?"
Jin Yuanquan's eyes were filled with even more shock. This logic was very simple, and he also understood it. However, he still refused to believe it. This was like two low level origin ability users, one using heat and the other using ice. Water and fire neutralized each other.
The problem was that it was because the other party's level was low and their energy wasn't strong enough that they would use such a primitive move. However, they were interstellar cultivators. Would they be willing to use such a huge amount of energy to offset it?
In other words, Ding Meng's level was no longer in the ranks of interstellar martial artists, so this bit of energy was nothing to him.
400 billion points of energy was nothing to him?
Jin Yuanquan suddenly felt a huge shadow looming over his head. He looked at Ding Meng in horror, and his feet involuntarily took a few steps back. At this moment, he truly understood the feelings of those people in front of him. Why would Doulon rather harm himself than beg for mercy? It was because he was truly afraid.
After taking a few steps back, Jin Yuanquan turned around and ran. His figure flashed over a hundred meters.
"You still want to run?"
Ding Meng coldly snorted and waved his hand. A rainbow Origin Energy Mirror Image in the shape of a kukri blade shot out from his palm. This Origin Energy Battle Blade flew behind Jin Yuanquan as if it had grown eyes. Wherever it passed, the grass turned into a sea of fire, the lake water was instantly vaporized, and the surrounding buildings were all crushed into fine powder.
In Jin Yuanquan's perception, with the battle blade as the center, a monstrous wave formed by heat energy swept towards him from behind. It was completely impossible for him to run away.
Jin Yuanquan gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped, turned around, and pushed out with both palms. A fiery red torrent of Origin Energy also surged out.
The momentum seemed vast, but as soon as it met the battle blade, it immediately turned into ashes. Jin Yuanquan's pupils contracted. How could the opponent's Origin Energy be so strong?
However, the situation did not allow him to question it. The battle blade whistled as it broke through the torrent. Jin Yuanquan's palms once again exerted force, and all the Origin Energy in his body was pushed to the limit, forming a curved plating layer in front of his palms.
He thought that he could resist for a while, and then he would use the force to quickly escape.
With a crisp "ding", the plating layer was like a piece of paper. The battle blade effortlessly pierced through it into countless specks of light that dissipated into nothingness. Then, it pierced through Jin Yuanquan's arm and finally through his heart.
"Bang!"
Jin Yuanquan was also set ablaze like a paper doll. His entire body burned with raging flames, and in the end, he turned into green smoke and disappeared without a trace. Not even his spiritual body was left behind.
When the smoke and dust finally settled, the entire Lake Garden had turned into a sea of flames. Even the surface of the lake was ablaze.
Ding Meng turned to look at Ji Chenxue. "Has the old madam been buried?"
Ji Chenxue's expression darkened again. "It's not practical to bury her, so I cremated her body."
Ding Meng also knew that she was in a bad mood. "Let's go!"
Ji Chenxue nodded. "Since we know that Wen Yang is up to no good, then we have to get the necklace back."
Ding Meng thought for a moment, then activated the positioning chip on his wristwatch. Not long after, the air around them began to ripple, and several cracks appeared like water ripples. In the blink of an eye, the exquisite Divine Arrow Spaceship appeared on the grass.
The connecting cabin quickly opened, and the person who came out to greet them was actually Ling Xingqi.
"What's going on?" Ding Meng noticed that Ling Xingqi's expression was very serious.
Ling Xingqi said, "We were just about to look for you!"
Ding Meng said, "Let's go up and talk."
In the command center, Little Rascal, Little Love, and the others were all there. Xin Jie was skillfully controlling the various interfaces, and his expression was just as serious.
When he saw that Ding Meng had returned, Xin Jie didn't say much. His fingers quickly tapped on the interface, and a huge screen was brought up.
Ding Meng was shocked. "The Combined Fleet's Golden Elephant Mothership?"
Xin Jie nodded. "I originally couldn't hack into it, but I tried today, and I actually managed to get in."
The screen showed the scene of the Golden Elephant Mothership's command center. They could see that the inside of the command center was a mess. Many control areas were in ruins, and dozens of staff members were lying in pools of blood. Many elders and generals were also lying on the ground … It looked like the Combined Fleet had been ambushed.
Xin Jie explained, "This is a long-range transmission. I can't control the starship's system yet, but from the looks of it, it doesn't look like an ambush from the outside world. Even the Devouring World and the Frogman Kingdom can't ambush a super fleet like this …"
Ding Meng nodded. He knew that Xin Jie's analysis was very accurate because he had already seen the pattern. Right now, the casualties in the command center were all from the Holy Grail Federation. There was no sign of anyone from the Norse Empire. Lu Xiaobing was also lying in a pool of blood. It looked like she was still alive …
As the camera adjusted, Ding Meng saw that Lin Kejia was also injured at the southeast corner of the command center. His hair was disheveled, and he was leaning against a chair covered in blood. He was panting heavily …
"Can you send me up?" Ding Meng asked decisively.
"But I can!"
Xin Jie was a little hesitant. "I can only send you up one way, but I can't send you back. Our spaceship can't enter the sector where the fleet is."
Ding Meng also understood this. The Golden Elephant Mothership itself was powerful enough, and the grassroots empire's design was impeccable. If the Divine Arrow Mothership really teleported into the fleet, the situation would be disastrous. It was not realistic to send the entire ship, so they could only send people one way.
"Send me up too!" Ling Xingqi also spoke. She could also see that something big had happened.
Ding Meng glanced at Ji Chenxue and An Ugly Woman. "Only the four of us will go up. The rest of you shouldn't go. It's useless even if you go."
Xin Jie was already operating the control panel. Of course, he also understood that Elephant and Meng Yan's strength was not enough to go to the Combined Fleet. Those who could directly attack the command center must be first-class experts.
Ten minutes later, a dot of light appeared above the command center's control panel. The dot of light quickly turned into Ghost Eyes. Ding Meng and the other three walked out of the teleportation array, and Ghost Eyes quickly disappeared.
When they really arrived at the scene, they were greeted by the smell of blood. An Ugly Woman frowned and said, "It's a cold weapon. That's fast!"
Ling Xingqi was also an expert with swords. She could also see that the staff at the scene were all killed with a single slash. With a single slash, both the staff and the control panel were smashed into pieces. That was why the scene of wreckage was everywhere.
Ding Meng glanced around. Lu Xiaobing and Xie Feixi were actually not dead. The two of them collapsed on the sofa in the resting area, but their breathing was very weak. "You guys go and treat those two. I'll go and see how the doctor is doing."
Lin Kejia's condition was not good. Almost all of her ribs were shattered. However, this was also a blessing in disguise. She was sent flying by the huge aftershock. She crashed into the metal wall and fell down. If she was in the central core area, she would probably have died.
After a small amount of healing energy was transferred, Lin Kejia's face regained some color. "You're late!"
"What happened?"
Ding Meng could not wait to ask. "I felt that something was wrong just now. I actually cut off the connection with you."
Lin Kejia struggled to stand up. "That Yan He suddenly attacked without warning. He killed almost everyone here and teleported away …"
"Yan He?"
Ding Meng suddenly remembered the short and thin old man in a long robe. He was the director of the Norse Empire's parliament.
"They did something to the main control system. I'm afraid the situation is more serious than we thought." Lin Kejia stumbled over to the main control panel.
Following Lin Kejia's operation, the main control panel did not show a screen this time. Instead, it showed a mirror image of an ellipsoid. It looked like a drink bottle. The bottle was full of energy in the form of flowing light. However, only a small part of the energy was rotating inside. Beside the image was a number. "18.05%!"
Seeing this number, Lin Kejia's originally rosy face turned pale again.
Ding Meng's heart sank. "Looks like something big has happened!"
An Ugly Woman asked, "What is this?"
Lin Kejia said, "The ship's energy reserves are now less than 20%."
An Ugly Woman's mouth fell open. Even if she did not know much about starships, she now understood how big of a problem this was.
