Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 539 - 494: Despair Ravaged by Alien Gods

```

...

Wu Hen sat on the roof of the car.

The mutated sea breeze blowing in his face parted his bangs, revealing a more distinct shape that was once hidden by messy hair.

"Are you reading?" Taiya also climbed up, but with her eyes covered.

"Going through a handbook, my companion once traveled this land," said Wu Hen.

"Oh, you're looking for them, aren't you?"

Wu Hen nodded.

Suddenly, a strange shade of blue emerged within the Corpse Tide; Wu Hen's gaze fixated on a Corpse King clad in azure armor, standing amidst tens of thousands of Corpse Army, staring back at Wu Hen.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~~~"

Wu Hen heard a familiar screech emanating from within the azure-armored Corpse King.

"Something's off about this Corpse King!" Even without sight, Taiya sensed an immensely strong aura.

This aura surpassed all the Corpse Kings they had encountered before, even stronger than the combined resentment energy of all the Corpse Kings.

Taiya mustered the courage to remove her white silk blindfold and looked toward the region emitting the azure demonic light, where a cold armored Corpse King stood silently amongst the horde. It was so out of place among the other Corpse People, as though a Transcendent Saint in bright armor was confronting the miles-long Corpse Tide!

However, Taiya saw something that made her skin crawl; the aura emitted by this azure Corpse King connected to the high clouds, and it seemed that the resentment storm layer acting like a planetary shield had its source right there, its supreme field!

This was their fortieth day amidst the Corpse Tide. They had slain nineteen Corpse Kings, which resulted in a substantial upgrade for everyone's equipment; Guo Hong's weapon reached Ninth Rank, Lu Xian also acquired Ninth Rank Protective Equipment, and their War Car was now fitted with Ninth Rank thermal weapons...

"It's not a Corpse King; it is the Corpse Queen," Wu Hen said.

"Corpse... Corpse Queen??" Taiya was startled, retracting her gaze.

Is this the Corpse Queen??

It was without Corpse Guards, nor were there any Corpse Kings following; it did not seem like a ruler of a Corpse Tide.

Wu Hen said no more but listened carefully to the trembling sound coming from inside this azure Corpse Queen, and he sighed deeply.

"You're not sure either?" Taiya, hearing Wu Hen sigh, grew tense.

"It's not a matter of being unsure; what I didn't expect is this Corpse Queen... forget it, you deal with the minions, and I will undertake the salvation of this Corpse Queen," said Wu Hen.

"Okay!"

...

Passing through the area turned into a sea of light by Taiya, Wu Hen appeared before the azure-armored Corpse Queen.

The Corpse Queen had become very similar to a human, except its entire body exuded an azure demonic glow, including its profound pupils.

The Corpse Queen sized up Wu Hen, even sniffing the scent emanating from him.

Wu Hen struck without hesitation; letting this Corpse Queen live longer in this world would be torture. At the same time, Wu Hen understood the words Dai Jing had said to Black Angel Dai Ting, that this is a land forsaken by Gods, with no need for salvation, only a need for transcendence!

The Corpse Queen was still hesitating, still examining, still trying to capture a special scent from Wu Hen. Meanwhile, Wu Hen unleashed a massive amount of high-voltage electricity, transforming into a Thundering Wolverine and lunged at the Corpse Queen.

Hundreds of High-pressure Energy Towers emerged, rooted from the ground, radiating purple lightning that formed a field of billions of volts. The nearby Corpse People turned into char in an instant.

The Corpse Queen stood within Wu Hen's electric field, its special armor flickering with electrical firelight. The high-voltage current almost turned into a purple divine spear piercing towards the Corpse Queen's chest, but it merely stumbled back a few steps with only faint burn marks on its armor—it was not breached.

The armor was impervious, unable to penetrate or damage the flesh of the Corpse Queen.

Wu Hen gathered billions of volts in his palm to form a Thunderstorm Claw, but even with an Eighth Rank physique and Ninth Rank weapons pushed to the limit, he could not leave a wound on the Corpse Queen.

The Corpse Queen still hadn't launched an attack, its gaze fixed on Wu Hen.

Wu Hen knew that just by summoning Little Bronze, he could finish the Corpse Queen in a short time.

But Wu Hen didn't want to reveal too much. Seeing this Corpse Queen increased his fury towards Cangling.

Finally, the Corpse Queen made a move; its azure armor suddenly erupted with a sinister ripple. These ripples, like sharp laser scythes, swept across the entire Corpse Tide horizon.

Countless Corpse People were cut down - the Corpse Queen's slaughter was indiscriminate, horrifying to the extreme. Mountains of corpses across vast plains, plasma pooling into excessively foul rivers of blood.

Wu Hen listened to these terrifying death ripples. He leapt into the air, evading the horrific slaughter.

The Corpse Queen looked up at Wu Hen, who could fly, but suddenly let out a scream toward the sky.

The scream echoed through Cloud Peak, and the next moment, a resentment storm cloud appeared in the resentment energy storm layer, drilling towards Wu Hen suspended in the air, suppressing him back to the ground.

Countless Resentment Sky Stabs of resentment energy followed, and even after Wu Hen returned to the ground, he still had to endure the purification from Resentment Sky Stabs.

The resentment energy was too dense, and Wu Hen couldn't figure out a dodge using his Perception.

Luckily, at the critical moment, Taiya overcame her fears. She took off her pendant and cast a Light Spell Protection to shield the helpless Wu Hen.

```

The Resentment Sky Stab couldn't shatter the magic spells of the Lan Guang Temple, and the intense light also attracted the attention of the Corpse Queen, whose gaze fell upon Taiya...

This time, the Corpse Queen wasn't just scrutinizing Taiya, but harbored an even stronger resentment towards the Lan Guang Temple.

Suddenly, the Corpse Queen became exceedingly agile, like a god of war in human form, she dashed across the land, reaching Taiya in the blink of an eye.

With one hand, she seized Taiya, and with the other claw, she reached for Taiya's heart.

The Corpse Queen intended to devour Taiya's heart raw!

Fortunately, a layer of Light Gauze reappeared on Taiya's body, rippling out milky white halos of light, which repelled the Corpse Queen.

"Taiya, a layer of your Light Gauze has been shattered," Lu Xian urgently reminded Taiya at this moment.

Taiya, too, was in shock.

In theory, Light Gauze was an invincible defense, even the Corpse King could not break through her protective layer, but the Corpse Queen managed to shatter a layer with just a casual swipe.

There were only three layers of her Light Gauze in total, meaning the Corpse Queen only required three strikes to take Taiya's life.

As the temple concubine of the Lan Guang Temple, she felt awe and fear towards the corpse kind for the first time.

"Stay back, no need to worry about me," Wu Hen stated.

Taiya quickly retreated, as Guo Hong's continuous sniper fire roared past her, but none of the high-speed Flame Bullets hit the swiftly moving Corpse Queen, who continued to pursue her doggedly.

"Boom!!!!"

The Invisible War Car assembled a Light Beam Glaze Cannon and fired at the Corpse Queen.

Only then did the Corpse Queen's swift assault stop; she tumbled backward repeatedly, yet appeared unharmed amidst the firework display of glaze.

She stood up and brushed off the light flames on her body.

Realizing that she needed to eliminate each person around Taiya one by one to kill her, the Corpse Queen stopped her wild charge.

It was as if she was contemplating, thinking about who to break through first, who was the most vulnerable among them.

Eventually, the Corpse Queen set her sights on Guo Hong.

Guo Hong was still clad in the initial Fierce Sun Armor which was considered top-notch equipment in the wasteland, but in the eyes of the Corpse Queen, it was no different from thin paper.

The Corpse Queen lifted a claw, and from the resentful clouds above, giant tendrils descended, all composed of Resentment Energy, rapidly thrashing and viciously striking the land!

With every heavy blow of the Resentment Sky Tendrils, they left cracks spanning dozens of kilometers on the ground, and at a farther distance, the advancing Corpse Tide too was pulverized into mincemeat.

"Guo Hong, get back into the War Car," Wu Hen immediately shouted.

Without a second thought, Guo Hong ceased sniping and dashed into the Invisible War Car.

Fei Yi, seeing the giant tendrils of resentment looming above, knew that if they struck, even the heavily reinforced Invisible War Car would be flattened.

Fei Yi instantly activated the War Car's limbs, and the whole Invisible War Car, like a nimble leopard, moved swiftly between the towering tendrils of resentment raining down from above.

"Good dodge!" Guo Hong gave a thumbs-up, no longer doubting Fei Yi's driving skills.

"If I knew the Corpse Queen was this terrifying, I'd rather have died in the remnants of my city," Fei Yi was shocked to the core, operating entirely on instinct for survival.

"Taiya, can your Light Spell severely harm the Corpse Queen? It looks like even Lord Wu Tian can't hurt it. We don't have powerful enough weapons; even Corrosive Bullets can't hit her," Guo Hong said.

"My Light Spell can't be ineffective against the Corpse Queen..." Taiya was also perplexed.

The halo released after the explosion of the Light Gauze just now was a potent Light Spell, yet the Corpse Queen seemed to be barely hurt, which filled Taiya with a sense of defeat and confusion as to what went wrong.

In Taiya's understanding, both the Corpse Queen and Corpse King fears the Light Spells of the Lan Guang Temple, and any hit would leave a wound on the Corpse Queen that couldn't heal.

"It's her armor; the Corpse Queen's Azure Armor is advanced fighting clothes," Wu Hen, listening to their conversation, also projected his voice to their ears.

"Her Azure Armor blocked my Light Spell?" Taiya asked.

"Yes, what we need to do is to destroy her Azure Armor; otherwise, we can't kill the Corpse Queen even in ten days and nights," Wu Hen said with certainty.

"Fei Yi, you're well-informed; what is that Azure Armor made of?"

"I... I can't figure it out, it doesn't seem to be technology from our region, nor does it look like a material from a Mutation," Fei Yi shook his head and said.

"It's fighting clothes," Wu Hen's voice came through, "My companion's handbook recounts one of her predecessors who died on this land. After her death, she underwent a Mutation; they were powerless to redeem her, nor to elevate her soul..."

The Corpse Queen still donned the armor of the Martial Arts Champion of the Douyi Star Factory...

She was Mingyi's predecessor, the finest navigator from the Divine Realm of Nuwa. When Mingyi and others first became aware of Cangling, this predecessor of Mingyi was sacrificed.

It seemed as a punishment to these ignorant humans, Cangling transformed this leader of Nuwa God's fighting clothes into the Corpse Queen.

Wu Hen knew he had found the right direction.

But he also felt the despair of Mingyi and the others, tormented by Alien Gods in this otherworldly realm!
