Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 299 For Whom the Net Is Formed
At this moment, an aura far surpassing even the heavens and earth emanated from the point of collision. Like a sword slashing down from the ninth heaven, it seemed to become insignificant within this aura.

Amidst the frenzied roar, Mu Xiang's body and energy resonated even more powerfully on the basis of the Candle, resulting in an even more dazzling blade of light.

But no matter how fierce the power of this strike was, it was ultimately encompassed by an aura that could cover heaven and earth!

[The body is under overload, and the corresponding genes are temporarily overexpressed...]

This action consumed 30% of its energy and resulted in 50% self-inflicted damage...

[Under sufficient energy conditions, the healing time for physical injuries is...]

[Corresponding sequence consumable reconstruction, healing time reduced to two seconds...]

Countless thoughts raced through Mu Xiang's frantic mind, and he naturally chose the most direct solution.

The shockwave and intense light generated by the collision temporarily caused the three high-ranking military officers to lose their sight and hearing. Thanks to their formidable self-healing abilities, their senses returned to normal after a full three seconds.

Their first glance wasn't at the enemy, but at the chief military officer.

The chief military officer's face was hidden under the ornately patterned hood, so they couldn't see his gloomy expression... but when they looked up, a severed wrist was revealed before them.

The hand that summoned the power of the gods... no longer exists.

Amidst the lingering roar, a figure was thrown high into the air.

After the collision, Mu Xiang's violent consciousness surprisingly regained a moment of clarity. As if the terrifying aura made him feel a little uneasy, Mu Xiang, while experiencing that subtle feeling, spat out mouthfuls of blood.

He still held Ji Yue tightly by instinct, and even the excruciating pain all over his body could not make him let go.

Such immense power... but it must have been achieved through extreme measures.

Seeing the remaining four enemies still standing below, ready for battle, Mu Xiang felt slightly relieved. With his eyesight, he could still see the chief military officer's jagged, severed wrist; and the green light that immediately illuminated and covered the wound further proved the enemy's guilty conscience.

[It's highly likely there will only be one hit... This kind of power, capable of waking a fourth-tier berserker, can probably only be achieved by a fifth-tier berserker.]

The previously modified genes began to take effect, and the reckless, super-fast self-healing caused an uncomfortable itching and tingling sensation throughout Mu Xiang's body. At the same time, his temporarily clear consciousness was once again overwhelmed by the rage.

Now that the most destructive blow has been blocked, the temporarily reconstructed genes can recover a portion of their power, ensuring that the overall damage is not compromised while also retaining some of the genetic information that has been allowing the body and energy to become overloaded.

The next moment, Mu Xiang charged forward, dragging his sword. Although he made no visible swinging motion, a crisscrossing array of sword lights and energy erupted in front of him, forming a net brimming with killing intent.

Although Mu Xiang had gone berserk, he wasn't about to fight himself... but he stood in front of the chief military officer.

Seeing Mu Xiang charge forward again, the chief military officer gave a low shout, and several green magic seals appeared around him, swirling and transforming into swords, spears, and halberds. The one he held in his hand was his most proficient weapon: the spear.

Just as he raised his spear and stepped into the void, surrounded by his weapons, the large net blocked his way. Faced with this instinctive attack, the chief military officer's response was also instinctive... Intricate emblems lit up on his broad forehead, and a layer of condensed green light protected his body.

The next moment, the swords, spears, and halberds formed from the green light were shredded by the net. The condensed green light persisted for a second longer, but it too turned into countless specks of light amidst a teeth-grinding cutting sound.

The flashing sword energy vanished just in time, and Ji Yue, shrouded in golden ripples and boundless sword energy, arrived. The chief martial officer was just stepping into the air when Mu Xiang, gripping his sword with both hands, leaped up laughing and slashed down fiercely!
Like the clang of metal against metal, the moon and the green spear collided hundreds of times in the blink of an eye. Whether it was the shifting and turning of the weapon or the ebb and flow of energy, it all exuded a dangerous aura.

This was no longer a battle that anyone else could join. The three high-ranking military officers, with hearts pounding, poured all their energy into the formation beneath their feet.

With a piercing explosion, Ji Yue was thrown back at an abnormal angle. It was as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, even though the light spear had only touched her blade.

Mu Xiang's wrist also made a crisp sound, but with his genes constantly adjusting and simulating, and his movements being extremely exaggerated, the sound was insignificant.

The chief seems to have the upper hand!

This was the thought of three high-ranking military officers at the same time.

But the chief military officer's sudden retreat made their hearts sink. With a clear sound and a muffled groan, the spear that had just made its mark shattered.

Before the three could figure out what was going on, and before the chief military officer could conjure another weapon, Ji Yue, wrapped in dazzling light, twisted the air and transformed into a long rainbow that shot towards the chief officer in the air.

The chief military officer knew that although he had won in terms of skill, he would ultimately be at a disadvantage... He was no match for Mu Xiang in terms of physical strength or energy intensity; his advantage lay in his richer experience in fourth-tier combat and his clear self-awareness. In this situation, using subtle techniques to pursue extraordinary effects was his safest approach.

However, the spear formed from his physical body as light shattered under the immense pressure when it struck Mu Xiang's weak point with a subtle technique.

Just how powerful is this person?
In his berserk state, while it's difficult to achieve subtle effects with meticulous precision, his brute force is second to none. Driven by instinct, the energy within Mu Xiang filled every inch of his body in a subtle way, extending into the clear moon.

While his stance may have weaknesses, overcoming those weaknesses would require considerable strength.

If Mu Xiang were in a sober state, he might be able to concentrate all his strength on one point and break through his own stance.

However, this demigod's breakthrough came at a considerable cost... it felt like kicking a brick wall.

This light spear is not as simple as it looks. Unlike other weapons, it was made by the chief military officer by breaking down his own flesh and blood into energy and then solidifying it... This is the weapon that best suits him, or rather, it is a part of his body.

The shattering of the light spear caused him to pause momentarily due to the pull of the energy, and it was at this moment that the mad rainbow arrived.

This is the most reckless and costly move: Falling Sun and Hanging Rainbow!
The chief military officer took a deep breath and raised his previously shattered hand again. Only then did the others realize that the hand had not been restored; it was merely a temporary replacement of energy... What puzzled them greatly was that, with the chief's strength, he was unable to condense this energy into a physical hand.

The green light formed a palm that then dispersed. Although it was light, it wriggled and branched out, transforming into hands engraved with emblems, which together reached out to meet the approaching Jiyue.
