"H-How is this possible?!"
The Vortex was shocked to discover that the spirit tattoos on the silver-eyed boy's arm were not only complicated, they were also incredibly dazzling.
They were also continuously spreading to the surface of his skin. The spirit tattoos intersected with each other, gathered together, and shone. It was as if they had formed a crystalline spirit energy armor on his arm.
"This is … Spirit Armor Realm!"
The Vortex screamed in pain.
When superhumans reached the peak of Heaven Realm, they could make their spirit energy gush out of their bodies, and under the structure of their spirit energy magnetic fields, they could form pure energy armor.
This was the so-called Spirit Armor Realm of six-star superhumans.
Turning spirit energy into armor was the sign of someone reaching Deity Realm. It was the sign of a top-tier superhuman.
Normal superhumans might not be able to reach Heaven Realm even after fighting for decades in mountains of corpses and obtaining all sorts of fortuitous encounters, treasures, and guidance from famous teachers.
The silver-eyed boy did not seem to be even ten years old, but in one go, he had the power of someone at the peak of Heaven Realm. There was no way the Vortex would not be shocked by this.
In an instant, A 'Ji's entire right arm was wrapped in silver spirit armor that shone like a mirror.
Since it was made of pure energy, it could break through the restrictions of any machine and release its power in the most dazzling manner that defied the laws of physics. The gauntlet was incredibly dazzling. It was like a huge saber that could destroy everything. Magma surrounded the gaps in the armor.
A 'Ji's face looked a little pale under the reflection of the mirror and the magma.
With his current weak body, he was on the verge of breaking down when he forcefully circulated his spirit energy and executed this amazing skill.
However, his bright silver eyes were rippling with a murderous smile.
A 'Ji stuck out his tongue and licked his sharp canine teeth. He chuckled and said, "I heard that you're afraid of fire?"
Whoosh!
The spirit energy that surrounded the gauntlet instantly exploded like magma.
Fierce flames instantly filled the medical room, and A 'Ji and the Vortex felt as if they were in a furnace in the depths of a volcano.
The spirit energy armor at the tip of the silver-eyed boy's arm continued extending and becoming sharper. It turned into a domineering flaming saber.
The spirit flames that flowed down the blade landed on the alloy floor and let out sizzling sounds. They burned black holes on the floor.
The shocking aura even tore the cloak that covered her body into pieces and burned it into ashes, revealing her slightly thin but flawless body that was as translucent as jade.
On the body that seemed to have been carved out of a marrow crystal, there was a symbol of an X-shaped eye on its chest.
With the spirit flames burning, the X-shaped eye looked like it was about to charge out of the silver-eyed boy's chest and float high in the air.
When the Vortex saw the X-shaped eye, its expression was even stranger than when it saw the silver-eyed teenager's spirit energy saber.
It took three steps back and pointed at A 'Ji's chest while shouting, "So it's you! You're the one — "
"You know too much," A 'Ji said coldly.
The blazing psionic sword slashed down heavily.
There was nothing fancy about it. It was just a simple slash to the head.
But the moment the saber glare fell, it split up. It was as if there were hundreds of saber glares that came from all directions and slashed at the Vortex at the same time.
The Vortex could not avoid it, so it was struck.
Hundreds of saber glares flashed and seeped into its body.
The scorching aura that filled the room also disappeared without a trace in an instant.
It was as if everything that happened a moment ago was a nightmare that it could not bear to recall.
A 'Ji sheathed his saber and stared at the Vortex coldly.
"So it's you. No wonder …"
The Vortex had the ghost of a smile and a cry on its face.
It extended its deformed, monstrous hand that was stuck together by adhesive liquid. It trembled as it reached for the silver-eyed boy, as if it wanted to touch the X-shaped eye on A 'Ji's chest.
A 'Ji stared at it coldly. His face was stark pale, and he said nothing.
— — —
The slash just now had used up all the spirit energy in the boy's freshly forged body. He was in a long cooldown period and needed to recover.
But one slash was enough.
The Vortex froze.
Its deformed hand was only a finger's length away from A 'Ji's chest.
If it extended its hand a little more, it could pierce the boy's heart.
But balls of ominous red light surged out of the intersecting wounds on its body.
It was as if magma had already flowed along the blade of the silver-eyed youth and gushed into his body. It was flowing unrestrainedly, destroying the blood vessels, nerves, muscles, bones, tendons … and even every single cell in his body with an unstoppable momentum.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! When ten thousand rays of red light shot out of the wounds and tore apart the Vortex's torn body, no matter how much its adhesive liquid stuck together, it could not reassemble its torn flesh.
Its limbs started flailing madly like venomous snakes with their bones broken. Soon, they were devoured by the flames.
The Vortex's real body fled out of the flames in the form of a transparent adhesive liquid.
But when it was burned by the flames, it was soon burned black. It smelled burnt and crunchy, and it lost its ability to change and flow freely.
The Vortex let out a piercing screech.
The transparent adhesive liquid kept bursting out of the burnt shell, but it was devoured by the flames that chased after it relentlessly. It was burnt again and lost its vitality.
When all the adhesive liquid was forced out of the burning carcass and turned into a huge ball of black charcoal, A 'Ji sighed in relief when he saw that it had lost all its life.
He really wanted to stab the charcoal again.
But the spirit flames around him were completely gone. In fact, the flesh on his right arm had been torn apart, and fine cracks had appeared on his bones.
No matter what, the power of someone at the peak of Heaven Realm was not something that this young and inexperienced body could easily bring out!
A 'Ji smiled in a self-deprecating manner.
His expression was completely different from the one Meng Chao saw.
He looked at the shattered mechanical arms all over the ground.
He wanted to find a few weapons he could use and a high-density disinfectant to completely destroy the Vortex, which had curled up into a ball of black charcoal.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sharp whistle came from within the jet-black lump of charcoal, and the whole thing exploded.
Slap!
The Vortex lurked in the charred shell. In the form of hundreds of black, sticky liquid droplets, it splashed everywhere.
A 'Ji's pupils shrank swiftly.
He reacted quickly and jumped behind the medical cabin to avoid most of the black adhesive liquid's attack.
But his left arm was accidentally stained by a drop of the black adhesive liquid.
The black adhesive liquid hissed and instantly stretched out countless thin and long tentacles to stab A 'Ji's flesh.
It was like a black leech that had become one hundred times more active. Half of it had crawled into A 'Ji's arm and was about to disappear into his flesh.
A 'Ji's face was expressionless. He casually picked up a scalpel that had fallen off a mechanical arm and stabbed it into his arm without hesitation. He cleanly cut out a large piece of flesh and threw it on the ground along with the black sticky liquid inside.
The black adhesive liquid soon contaminated the entire piece of flesh.
The tentacles intersected with each other like nerves and blood vessels. They completely took over the function of the flesh.
Meng Chao could already imagine that if A 'Ji had not acted decisively, the drop of black adhesive liquid might have reached his brain through his blood vessels and continued growing in his cerebral cortex. In the end, it would have occupied his brain.
Unfortunately, the black adhesive liquid could only hug the piece of flesh and twitch in vain.
It also realized that it had failed once more.
It hugged the piece of flesh and let out angry screeches. It jumped and squirmed toward A 'Ji again.
A 'Ji spat coldly.
He ignored the bloody wound on his arm and picked up a liquid nitrogen ejector from the corner.
This thing was originally used to deal with monsters who went out of control.
It was perfect for dealing with the Vortex.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The liquid nitrogen that was nearly negative two hundred degrees Celsius turned into ice fog that gushed out. In an instant, it froze the jumping pieces of flesh and the adhesive liquid inside into ice blocks.
The other black adhesive liquid sensed the cold and realized that the situation was bad. They screeched and fled in all directions.
But A 'Ji caught up to them. He sprayed liquid nitrogen and froze all of them.
Then, A 'Ji picked up two mechanical arms and swung them as if he was swinging two hammers. He crushed all the frozen adhesive liquid.
He originally wanted to search for better weapons and medicine to deal with the sparkling fragments on the ground, but his body could not withstand it.
However, his body couldn't support him. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He stared at the terrifying wound on his arm and sensed his chaotic heartbeat and breathing. A 'Ji smiled wryly in resignation.
For the time being, he did not have any good methods to deal with the sparkling fragments on the ground. He had to recover his strength first.
If he was too late, it would be too late.
A 'Ji sprayed liquid nitrogen on the ground before he turned around and staggered outside.
He opened the door with great familiarity and ran past the cages holding the Broken Claw Dragon and the other fierce beasts.
When the Broken Claw Dragon smelled human blood, it rushed over excitedly. With a loud bang, it crashed into the high-voltage bars. Electric arcs surged, and sparks flew everywhere.
But A 'Ji did not even frown. It was as if he knew that the Broken Claw Dragon was locked there.
For the time being, he did not have the time to deal with the Broken Claw Dragon. He circled around the cages and went to the material storage outside.
There were Hell Beast hearts and Apocalyptic Beasts' spinal cords. All sorts of fragrant high-grade monster materials that were worth cities were stored there.
There were also quite a number of crystals that were even more valuable and rare than Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow. They were even more helpful for cultivation. The spirit energy contained in a crystal the size of a fingernail was enough to drive a heavy-armored airship to fly for three days and three nights.
These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were undoubtedly beneficial to the recovery of spiritual energy.
But A 'Ji cast them aside like they were old shoes.
He went straight to the last row of display cabinets.
He did not even need to think. He casually switched the two crystals on the third row. Then, he moved a Hell Beast heart on the fourth row to the last row of the first row.
With a soft click, the row of display cabinets slid silently into the wall along a very hidden slide. They moved to the sides and revealed a small and exquisite safe.
