Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 540 - 495: Breaking Ties the Hometown Way

The material used to craft the Azure Battle Robe is unknown; neither Wu Hen's Thunder Arm Guard nor Taiya's Light Spell can penetrate it.

But upon further reflection, the Azure Battle Robe represents the pinnacle of technology from the Douyi Star Palace. With my current realm, breaking through it is indeed not an easy task. Otherwise, how could this female predecessor from the Douyi Star Palace become one of the most powerful mutants in this land?

The reason the Corpse Queen initially observed Wu Hen was that she sensed the smell of her kin on him; her thoroughly mutated skull may still possess some memories of her human past.

Unlike most Spirit Awakeners who have also mutated and evolved in the Otherworldly Dust, the soul of this Corpse Queen has completely lost its way and fallen, unable to be led back by even the Nuwa God End.

Perhaps it was witnessing her predecessor's experience that led Mingyi, on the eve of her departure, to sit beside me and pour out her heart to my unconscious self.

"Mingyi sent me here, hoping you could find release," Wu Hen walked towards the Corpse Queen, using simple words to catch her attention.

Indeed, the Corpse Queen reacted.

She still retained her memories from life and had undoubtedly heard the name "Mingyi" countless times. Her eyes first showed a hint of confusion, then were enveloped by layers of pain and resentment.

"Roar!!!!"

She suddenly went mad, her soul fallen in the wasteland seemed to be screaming as well, praying for release from deep within Hell.

However, this fragmented soul could not control the powerful body of the Corpse Queen. Angered by her life's memories, she summoned a sky filled with resentment energy clouds, which burst forth with thick bolts of resentment lightning!

Wu Hen stimulated the Thunder Tower within him, creating a Thunder Domain. Purple electricity densely intertwined around him, forming a purple electric armor along the outlines of his muscular structure; his arm guard also stimulated the Magnetic Claw Purple Blade, and suddenly a Wolf Spirit emerged around Wu Hen.

After the appearance of the purple Wolf Spirit, Wu Hen's agility increased, and the power bursting from his limbs greatly amplified.

Now, he had to rely on his Ninth Rank life force and Ninth Rank Thunder Arm Guard to shatter this frontline technology from the homeland's Douyi Star Palace. His task was to tear apart the Corpse Queen's Azure Battle Robe, and then let Taiya from the Lan Guang Temple deal a heavy blow to her.

Without destroying the battle robe, it was impossible to fully transcend the Corpse Queen.

The Corpse Queen, covered in resentment lightning, attacked, and Wu Hen, under the cover of the purple Wolf Spirit, did not dodge but engaged in close combat.

The Azure Battle Robe emitted continuous blue mists, akin to some holy spirits capable of emitting steaming heat from every pore. These blue mists and resentment lightning bizarrely intertwined, making the Corpse Queen appear more like a Combat Netherworld Immortal, creating an overwhelming pressure.

It was evident that this predecessor of Mingyi had evolved to a very high realm in the Otherworldly Desert Dust. She might have been even ahead of the currently evolving Nuwa Lineage, and under the circumstances where she suppressed her other abilities, Wu Hen found it very challenging to fight against her.

Wu Hen's only advantage was his Fifth Rank Hearing.

This allowed him to anticipate the Corpse Queen's moves in advance.

Without this perception that exceeded his level, he would have been torn to pieces by the Corpse Queen already.

"Can we wait until her battle robe's energy is exhausted? This powerful technological battle robe needs endurance," suggested Fei Yi's voice from afar, offering his combat advice.

Fei Yi could also see that although Wu Hen couldn't harm the Corpse Queen, it wasn't easy for her to kill him either; thus, they could wear her down slowly.

This battle robe from the Douyi Star Palace was still ahead of mutated weapons below the Tenth Rank.

"The battle robe has an energy recycling design; its outer blue mists absorb resentment energy... and to some extent, the longer we drag out, the more we are at a disadvantage because this battle robe is also evolving and mutating," said Wu Hen.

He could hear the movement of the blue mists; they entangled with resentment energy; after releasing blue resentment lightning, they would inhale and exhale the resentment breath, embedding a skin breathing skill similar to his own Third Rank Breathing Skill on the battle robe's surface.

In other words, the materials of the battle robe and the mutated metal had not completely fused yet, otherwise, the battle robe of this Corpse Queen would grow endlessly in this thousand-mile Corpse Tide. In a few more years, this Corpse Queen might even ascend to become the Corpse God Queen!

"All our weapon technology is inferior to the Corpse Queen's battle robe, unless we also possess similar technological weapons. Lord Wu Tian, did your former companions leave you any equipment of similar technology?" asked Fei Yi.

Barriers exist between different technologies; mutated weapons and battle robe technology clearly have different evolutionary paths. Mutated weapons tend towards biological activity, while battle robe technology tends towards material spirituality.

Currently, whether it's Wu Hen's Thunder Arm Guard, Guo Hong's Fiery Red Python Sniper, or their war car's Glazed Light Cannon... all are biologically active mutated weapons, which are isolated from the opponent's material-based battle robe technology. It's this isolation that causes some of their powerful combat techniques to be significantly weakened and countered.

It's not that battle robe technology can be immune to all mutated weapons, but under circumstances where the Azure Battle Robe is of higher quality, the degree to which their mutated weapons are countered is even greater.

"Here in this Corpse Tide, where can we find such otherworldly technological equipment?" Lu Xian said this while observing Resentment Sky Stabs appearing in the sky!

Resentment Sky Stabs were forces not even Wu Hen could dodge; she hurriedly alerted Wu Hen.

Wu Hen was unable to hear the movements of the Resentment Energy. He had been puzzled, wondering why the Corpse Queen suddenly initiated an ostentatious but ineffective attack. It turned out she knew about his powerful hearing and deliberately created various noises to distract him, while her real lethal move was still the Resentment Sky Stab descending from the sky!

"Taiya..." Wu Hen immediately slid backward, calling for Taiya to cast a Light Spell Shield on him.

However, the Corpse Queen's combat thinking was inherited from that Female Martial Leader in fighting clothes. Unbeknownst to them, she had condensed a Resentment Energy Claw. Just as Taiya was about to envelop Wu Hen in Light Curse Protection, the Corpse Queen, from three kilometers away and beneath the ground, unleashed a terrifying energy claw!

The energy claw that emerged from the ground tightly gripped Taiya. Taiya was protected by the Light Gauze on her body, so she wasn't crushed into pulp, but she could no longer provide Wu Hen with Light Spell Protection.

"Over here!!" Fei Yi yelled.

Wu Hen could not worry about much else and ran towards the war car where Fei Yi was.

As he dashed, Resentment Sky Stabs began falling from the sky, piercing the ground without leaving holes but transforming into a large pond of corrosive blood—resembling a pool of metallic wastewater discharged from a biochemical factory, possessing an extremely fearsome corrosive property.

The increasingly dense barrage of Resentment Sky Stabs gave Wu Hen no more room to dodge. He zigzagged on the ground to evade, but soon, the Resentment Sky Stabs would cover everything comprehensively, leaving no place to hide.

At the critical moment, Fei Yi drove the Invisible War Car in front of Wu Hen, opening the door of the car's front.

Wu Hen dove into the car.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the seamless Resentment Sky Stabs struck down, and from the distant perspective of Guo Hong, it clearly looked like a black resentful spear mountain with a radius of one kilometer smashing towards the area where Wu Hen was.

With Wu Hen's current physical limits, there was absolutely no way he could have dodged it.

Thankfully, the sturdy Invisible War Car took all the hit.

Hiding inside the car, Wu Hen glanced at the now roofless Invisible War Car, equally sighing in astonishment.

Good lord, the Doomsday War Car had turned into a convertible; having lost its roof, the car's invisibility was gone. How could they survive leaving this terrifying Corpse Tide?

"Are you alright?" Fei Yi asked.

"Good rescue, just now your drifting skill with the war car was worth a Tenth Rank Mutated Fighter," Wu Hen also gave a thumbs-up.

This uncle really was a life-saver, utterly clear-headed when most needed.

If Fei Yi hadn't driven over to take the hit, Wu Hen would have had to resort to the Ominous Bronze Spear, which would surely increase Cangling's suspicion of him due to her high alertness.

"I think we need to retreat first, the Corpse Queen is too strong," Fei Yi said.

"Next time we come back, the Corpse Queen might evolve even faster than us... don't worry, I have a way," Wu Hen adjusted his state.

"You still have a trump card?" Fei Yi asked joyfully.

"Not really a trump card, just using an old item I nearly forgot I had—actually, I also have a set of fighting clothes... your words just reminded me," Wu Hen said.

Back when dealing with the Outer Heaven Guest, Mingyi had given him some fighting clothes.

Although that set of fighting clothes was eaten as a snack by Little Yi, Little Yi, being a high-dimensional Artifact Spirit, could replicate that set of fighting clothes for Wu Hen without difficulty, based on the taste back then.

"Little Yi, get my Electric Slaughter Battle Robe!"

Wu Hen leaped from the convertible war car and stood on the corruption-filled land, extending one hand, like an ancient Saint Fighter, ready to wield his oldest fighting spirit and oldest equipment.

Little Yi also had a hard time recalling and eventually found the remnants of the Electric Slaughter Battle Robe in a corner of his stomach universe.

Shaking its tail, Little Yi somewhat disdainfully looked at the crude and worn Thunder Arm Guard Wu Hen was using, but still activated the battle clothes!

Electric Slaughter Particles emerged instantly. They perfectly matched the purple electricity energized by Wu Hen's Thunder Arm Guard, surrounding Wu Hen. The Wolf Spirit around him disappeared and merged into the Electric Slaughter Battle Robe, arming Wu Hen from head to toe.

The battle clothes instantly filled Wu Hen's entire body with a magnificently purple "Little Universe", his eyes now filled with confidence as he looked towards the Azure Battle Robe-wearing Corpse Queen.

"Let's settle this in the way of our homeland!"

Wu Hen tightly grasped his raised hand, and in an instant, the Electric Slaughter Particles transformed into a purple dragon wildly dancing in the air!!
