Chapter 1211 If you've got the guts, come at me again!
"You came pretty quickly!"
The Dark King's subordinates were indeed very fast. Just as Qin Chong passed through the thick metal armor and entered the Steel Giant, the first batch of X-stars also arrived.
"Die, humans!" These X-stars, controlled by the Dark King, still maintained their rationality, but were absolutely loyal to the Dark King.
Upon seeing Qin Zhong, the first three X-star beings to arrive did not hesitate, letting out a low shout as they charged towards him.
At the same time, beams of energy of various colors shot out from these X-stars and fiercely attacked Qin Zhong.
"So incredibly weak!"
Facing the incoming energy beam, Qin Zhong curled his lips slightly, a disdainful sneer appearing on his face.
Compared to dedicated combat bio-weapons, these X-stars are far too weak; this level of energy attack poses no threat to them whatsoever.
"Boom boom boom!"
With three loud roars, the energy beams that shot towards Qin Zhong were all blocked by the metal shield that had formed in his hand. Qin Zhong himself did not retreat even half a step. With a fierce shout, he shot forward.
"puff!"
A red light flashed, and the Thunder Sword pierced through the chest cavity of the first X-planet at an extremely fast speed.
The sharp blade and intense heat not only pierced through the body of this alien from Planet X, but also nearly burned his body into a charred mess.
"Bang! Pfft!"
With two muffled thuds, Qin Chong swept his foot across one X-star being while simultaneously cleaving another X-star being in two with his Thunder Sword.
The X-planet people who once filled Qin Chong with fear and unease were like clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of him, utterly vulnerable.
"kill him!"
Just as Qin Chong killed two X-star beings and severely injured the last one, the doors of the vertical elevator opened again, and the second wave of X-star beings finally arrived.
"Hahaha, since when do the X aliens also need to rely on numbers to fight their enemies?"
Seeing the seven or eight X-star beings charging straight at him, Qin Chong laughed loudly, holding a sword in his right hand and a blade in his left. He leaped forward and charged towards the X-star beings.
How long can a bunch of chickens and dogs stop him?
"Damn ants!"
Just as Qin Zhong was charging wildly toward the command room, Dark King had already turned off the video, his expression constantly changing.
Remembering the Emperor's instructions, the Dark King knew he had to hold off the humans for as long as possible to give the Emperor time to wake up.
Gritting his teeth, Dark King went to a corner of the command room, where there was a huge, transparent rhomboid crystal. The crystal was as big as a heavy truck, completely transparent, and shimmering with a warm, pale blue light.
As soon as he approached the crystal, Dark King felt a surge of energy and vitality. However, despite feeling good, Dark King's face remained extremely gloomy.
This enormous rhomboid crystal was materialized from a vast amount of life energy. The power contained within such a large crystal is terrifying.
Most importantly, since this crystal is formed from pure life force, it can theoretically be completely absorbed by living beings.
Once such immense power is absorbed, no matter how weak the life form was before, it will become an invincible super-strong being.
This crystal was reserved for the Dark King himself, intended for use when he broke through to level nine.
But at this moment, because of Qin Zhong's relentless pressure, the Dark King had no choice but to use the crystal ahead of schedule in order to buy time for the Emperor.
After taking a deep breath, Dark King slowly reached out his hands toward the huge blue crystal.
It wasn't until his hands were close that he saw that the seemingly solid blue crystal was actually as soft as liquid. With a gentle touch, the Dark King's scarred hands disappeared into the crystal.
Then, bursts of brilliant blue light instantly illuminated the entire room, and a massive amount of life energy was rapidly flowing back into the Dark King's body.
Under the influence of immense life force, the Dark King was like a caterpillar emerging from its cocoon. Not only did the scars all over his body begin to heal rapidly, but even his sparse bald head began to grow long blue hair again.
At the same time, the Dark King's body twisted and grew amidst the cracking and breaking of bones, eventually transforming from a short, bald, and scarred mad scientist into a handsome young man with flowing hair and a slender figure.
Compared to his appearance, the Dark King's internal energy undergoes even greater changes.
As life force was continuously inputted, the Dark King's body began to become stronger and stronger, and the energy within him continued to condense and sublimate, even slowly showing signs of energy crystallization.
……
"How is this going!"
Just as the Dark King began to fuse with the Life Crystal, Qin Zhong, who was slaughtering the X-star people, had already sensed something was wrong.
Such a huge fluctuation of life force could be detected even by an ordinary person, let alone him.
With the help of his elemental perception, Qin Zhong saw a radiant life force, as bright as the sun, continuously blooming in the center of the steel giant.
He could clearly sense that a powerful yet unfamiliar force was slowly being born in that radiant place.
"not good!"
Sensing something was wrong, Qin Zhong's expression changed instantly; at this moment, he couldn't care less about these X-star people.
With a long shout, sharp metal spears shot out from the metal floor beneath his feet, blocking the X-man charging towards him.
He then spread his six wings and soared into the air, shooting towards the source of the light at an extremely fast speed.
He had to nip this threat in the bud before it fully grew!
"This is the power of breaking free from the cocoon and being reborn!"
As he plunged his hands into the soft yet powerful life crystal, a flush of excitement rose on Dark King's handsome face.
He guessed correctly; the power of this life crystal could not only strengthen his body, but also propel him to a higher level of life.
He could clearly feel that, under the infusion of immense life force, his body was transforming into an elemental life form.
Energy-based elemental life forms are one of the manifestations of becoming a level nine evolver.
In a sense, having an elemental body is equivalent to having an immortal body. Even if one's body is completely destroyed, as long as there is the corresponding elemental energy, one will always be able to reassemble one's body one day.
"Hahaha, as long as I absorb the power within this life crystal, even if I don't reach level nine, it will be enough for me to deal with these annoying humans!"
Feeling the pleasure brought by the energy flowing into his body, Dark King couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You don't have that chance!" Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the secret room.
Then, with a deafening roar, the walls of the secret chamber were destroyed, and Qin Zhong's figure shot out from outside the chamber, his Thunder Sword slashing straight down at the Dark King.
"Oh!"
With a soft sound, the Thunder Sword stopped less than five centimeters above the Dark King's head.
At this moment, a layer of shimmering blue light appeared on the Dark King's body. It was this blue light that blocked Qin Zhong's attack. This was not the Dark King's special ability, but a shield composed of pure life force.
"Hahaha, you ant, you think you can hurt me?"
Enveloped by a powerful life force shield, the Dark King revealed a mocking smile: "Use all your means to attack me. I want to see what methods you have to break through this shield on my body!"
"Wait and see!"
Seeing the Dark King, who seemed fearless despite being enveloped by a powerful force field, Qin Zhong's eyes narrowed. The red light formed by the Thunder Sword shot out from his body and struck the Dark King above his head.
"Pfft!"
The precise strike caused a small dent in the blue energy field above the Dark King's head. However, the dent was completely healed in an instant and posed no threat to the Dark King whatsoever.
"Not bad, but not enough!"
With a cat-and-mouse expression, Dark King looked at Qin Zhong and laughed loudly, "Let me give you a piece of advice: if you want to kill me, you'd better hurry up. Once I've absorbed all the power from the crystal, you won't have a chance at all."
"Damn it!"
Sensing the immense energy emanating from the Life Crystal, Qin Zhong's face grew solemn. At this moment, the entire energy field of the Life Crystal had merged with the Dark King, making it impossible for him to destroy the Life Crystal even if he wanted to.
The only solution now is to find a way to break through the relatively weak defensive force field on the Dark King!
"Rage - Titan's Power!"
Although he didn't know what the Dark King would become after absorbing the immense power from the crystal, Qin Zhong absolutely did not want to see that outcome.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Zhong made up his mind and directly used the third level of the berserk Titan power, increasing his combat power tenfold, and once again fiercely slashed at the Dark King.
"laugh!"
With a muffled thud, under Qin Zhong's tenfold combat power, the thick life energy shield finally developed a crack of about five centimeters.
However, the crack was only five centimeters long, and soon, the continuous influx of life force repaired the energy field that was shimmering with blue light.
"Uh, haha, again, again! Human, come on then!"
When the energy field above his head was split open by five centimeters, the Dark King's heart almost stopped beating.
It should be noted that this life crystal contains a vast amount of life energy, so much so that it is unimaginable.
However, even with such a powerful energy field, this human still managed to break through it, causing him to gasp inwardly and feel grateful for his choice.
If it weren't for the Life Crystal, he, who was not good at close combat, would probably have been killed by Qin Zhong in a single exchange.
However, now that he has the aid of the Life Crystal, the Dark King is no longer afraid of Qin Zhong. Unless this man has an even stronger trump card, he will surely die today.
