The progress bar on the control panel had reached 32%. This speed was really slow. The Divine Arrow Spaceship still needed at least six more minutes to get out of the space-time tunnel. However, Ji Chenxue rushed up and pressed a bunch of buttons. She did not understand the profound hacking knowledge of Hong Ke, but she still knew how to shut down the system completely. The light screen above the control panel dimmed, extinguished, and disappeared one after another.
The confrontation between Ding Meng and Ru Yu continued. The pink energy was getting closer and closer. The light beam now had two colors. Ru Yu's cold voice sounded from the pink energy, "What are you doing?"
Ji Chenxue did not answer at all. According to Ding Meng's instructions, she shut down the communication, reconnaissance, energy storage, defense, and many other systems. The purpose of doing so was to prevent the Peach Blossom Spaceship from sending martial artists over. If two Ru Yus were to fight against one Ding Meng, then Ding Meng would have no chance. It would be better to just surrender.
"Bang — —"
Suddenly, an even thinner light beam shot out from the pink energy and hit Ji Chenxue's chest like lightning.
"Pu — —"
Ji Chenxue spat out a mouthful of white blood and flew backward. The armor of the Steel Legion was penetrated, and there was a bloody hole in his chest.
This time, Ji Chenxue was not unconscious. He was seriously injured. It was hard to say whether he was dead or alive.
"You!" Ding Meng was furious, but he still managed to retain a bit of rationality in his anger.
Before Ru Yu could make a second move, Ding Meng's other hand slapped out again. Another white torrent surged out. This time, the source of the torrent was not Ru Yu, but the control panel.
Even the facilities of the Godly Arrow Spaceship could not compete with the power of a star-level warrior, not to mention that this was just a small ship that was split from the spaceship. As the torrent rolled over, the main control panel turned into a mess and smoke. Now the spaceship had completely lost control in the chaos of the space-time tunnel. The final result was whether Ruyu killed Ding Meng or Ding Meng killed Ruyu, everyone would be buried in the turbulence of the four-dimensional space.
Ding Meng's distraction allowed Ru Yu's energy to gain the upper hand. The pink energy pushed back along the light beam. Ding Meng's palm exploded, and he was sent flying again. This explosion also caused the entire spaceship to shake violently. All the light facilities in the command hall dimmed, and debris kept falling from the ceiling. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the spaceship disintegrated.
The light beam disappeared, and Ru Yu's figure reappeared from the ruins. At this moment, her Taoist robe was torn in many places, and her face was blue and purple. Obviously, Ding Meng's thunderous attack just now had seriously injured her.
If Ru Yu had always been a smiling beauty, then her face was now hideous, like a monster that changed faces.
"You've angered me, really!"
Ru Yu stared at Ding Meng fiercely. "We'll talk about the Solitary Entropy later. Today, you must die!"
Circles of pink light spread out from her body, and even the flowing lights around her were dyed pink. She had completely turned into a pink human-shaped pupil.
Aura Index: 28 trillion points!
This was the strength of a mid-level Revered Martial Artist!
Ding Meng was not in a better state. His internal organs were in discomfort, and the luster of the Diamond Origin was dimming. He could no longer launch such a powerful attack. Ru Yu in front of him had once again broken the limit of his strength, but he was not afraid. Instead, he calmed down. Had he not experienced many similar situations in the past?
So what if you're a Night Phoenix warrior?
I'll show you my true strength.
With a "whoosh", Ding Meng's figure blurred, like a human figure in a whirlpool.
"This is..." Ru Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she became ecstatic. "It's indeed the aura of someone from Ai Ji!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
Ding Meng's figure was not only blurred, but there were also many whirlpools floating around him, like a mass of ghostly chaos.
Ru Yu's tone changed. "No, I remember now. It's the Fiery Sun Divine Skill!"
Ding Meng's aura index was also surging like a storm. This was the result of his cultivation in the Solitary Entropy for the past three years. "10 trillion points, 15 trillion points, 20 trillion points, 25 trillion points..."
Ru Yu was stunned. How could an ant-like human warrior cultivate to such a level?
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Ru Yu muttered to herself. She even forgot to attack.
With a "clang", a golden butterfly mark finally lit up in the whirlpool. Ding Meng's aura finally stopped at 30 trillion points. To be honest, this number was higher than Ru Yu's, but it was far from being able to kill her instantly. In other words, if the two of them were to fight for real, they would either be evenly matched, or it would take a long time. There was no possibility of a one-hit kill.
However, Ru Yu was actually retreating, and her voice became trembling. "You... Heaven Defying King... Heaven Defying King's butterfly mark... You're actually the successor of Heaven Defying King..."
Ding Meng's heart suddenly jolted. He recalled the story of the Sovereign King when he was still alive. The Sovereign King married the Goddess of Beauty, which was actually the union of the Eji Star Empire and the Night Luan Empire. If the Goddess of Beauty was invincible, how could she compromise and marry the Sovereign King?
At the end of the day, it was still a matter of strength.
Just like the comparison between the Ardent Sun Divine Skill and the Night Phoenix Martial Skill, one was the butterfly mark, while the other was the peach blossom mirror. Although the peach blossom was beautiful, the butterfly had a life of its own. In front of the dancing butterfly, the peach blossom would always be a foil. It was destined to never soar.
After using the secret skill "Bright Spirit" to forcefully increase his strength, Ding Meng had an idea. He lowered his voice and roared, "Heaven Defying King is here. You women, kneel down and accept your death!"
He was taking a huge risk again. He was betting on the fact that the king was all-powerful and could dominate the Milky Way. Everyone who saw him would tremble in fear and kneel down to submit. He guessed that the Night Phoenix Martial Artists would be afraid of the king. There was an instinctive fear in their hearts.
As expected, after hearing Ding Meng's roar, Ru Yu couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her face revealed a look of horror.
"Rise — —"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Meng waved his hand. Two glittering Sacred Butterflies flew out of the vortex and started to circle around the main control panel.
Taking advantage of Ru Yu's moment of distraction, Ding Meng was able to execute this move.
"Open — —"
As Ding Meng's hands moved, the two Sacred Butterflies had already circled around the main control panel. Their flight path formed a circle. At this moment, the air was shaking like water waves. The circle turned into fog, and the fog turned into a vortex. When the energy dissipated, it turned into a small space-time crack. One could see the chaotic stars inside the wormhole flying by with the naked eye.
The secret skill "Extinction" of the Ardent Sun Divine Skill was used once again!
This was not the first time he had used it. However, the scale of his use this time was much smaller. Ding Meng didn't have the ability to send an Interstellar Martial Venerable to another space-time, but it was enough to send Ru Yu from the inside of the spaceship to the chaotic tunnel outside. The torrent of interstellar torpedoes and the cosmic storm of the space-time tunnel were enough to tear anything into dust.
At this moment, the small wormhole started to spin, producing a strong gravitational force. All the light from the various equipment in the command center was sucked in. The light was distorted, gathered, and disappeared. The wormhole was as dazzling as a colorful pupil.
"You!" Ru Yu finally understood what Ding Meng was doing. "Don't even think about it!"
Her pupil body once again erupted with solid pink energy, forming a petal-shaped shield around her.
This time, Ding Meng once again used all his strength. His palms controlled the wormhole from a distance. In an instant, not only was the light being sucked in, but all the control panels, tables, chairs, steel plates, and gates of various sizes were all twisted into arcs and sucked into the wormhole like water.
Although Ru Yu's shield was not completely absorbed, the surging energy on the shield was also affected by the gravitational force. Strands of energy were sucked out, entering the wormhole like rays of light.
The power of this wormhole was so great that Ru Yu's expression finally became terrifying. She could ignore Ding Meng alone, but with his identity as the successor of the Lingtian Sovereign, things were different.
"Go to hell!" Ru Yu flung her robes, and a pink claw image flew towards Ding Meng.
Ding Meng's eyes were as wide as copper bells. Now that all the energy in his body was concentrated on the wormhole, he had no time to deal with other martial arts techniques. At this moment, he could only use telekinesis to take it head-on.
In the Galaxy Codex, there was a basic telekinesis technique called Conduction. It did not have any offensive or defensive properties, but it could successfully guide almost all the energy in the universe. The essence of applied telekinesis could not be learned, but it could be imitated.
There was another ripple in the air. Suddenly, an invisible air current appeared in the air, like a warm spring breeze. As the pink claw flew over, it was immediately stopped by the air current. Then, the air current wrapped around it and slowly changed its direction.
With a "swoosh", the claw actually flew towards the wormhole. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the wormhole.
"You go in too!"
Ding Meng roared angrily. The eight origin vortices in his body were pushed to their limits, and the entire command hall spun and twisted.
Ru Yu's shield was sucked into the wormhole like a piece of paper. Then, her body also floated uncontrollably towards the wormhole.
"How is this possible?
How is this possible? "Ru Yu finally screamed." Ah — no — no — no — "
As her voice increased in decibels, her body was also twisted into the wormhole like an arc. The wormhole flashed, then closed and turned back into a butterfly. The butterfly turned into a singularity and flew into Ding Meng's forehead.
At this moment, Ding Meng fell to his knees with a thump. In less than a minute, he had almost exhausted all the origin power and essence in his body.
The spaceship was still shaking violently, and it was on the verge of disintegration. Ding Meng raised his hand to help Ji Chenxue up. Ji Chenxue's breath was weak. Ding Meng poured the last of his healing energy into Ji Chenxue's forehead before he could sit up. What awaited him now was very likely true death.
The command hall was already a sea of fire. All the major facilities were falling apart. Other than the violent shaking, his vision was also affected. He felt as if the spaceship had entered a foreign galaxy. Everything in front of him was gradually becoming blurry. A long-lost tiredness continued to surge. Ding Meng slowly closed his eyes...
