Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 108 Straight to the Heavenly Abyss!

A sharp, claw-like gust of wind, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, hurtled straight toward Lin Ye's face.

Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

His muscles had already tensed up the moment the opponent revealed his true form, and his blood and qi flowed into his legs at an unprecedented speed.

In a flash, Lin Ye leaned back and his toes slammed onto the metal platform.

He was like a fully drawn bow, shooting backward in an instant, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"Don't kill him!"

"stop!"

A sharp, urgent voice came from the giant winged demon's hideous maw.

It was the Doctor's voice.

However, what responded to him was another, deeper roar, filled with endless violence and murderous intent.

Roar--!
Two completely different wills clashed fiercely within the same body, and in the end, the primal bestiality prevailed.

The giant winged demon's right claw missed, but the next wave of attacks was already on its way.

The huge, dark red fleshy wing on its back suddenly flapped!
Lin Ye felt an overwhelming and terrifying gale, like an invisible wall, slamming hard into his chest!
Lin Ye's body was violently slapped away by this tremendous force, like a cannonball, and crashed into the alloy railing at the edge of the platform.

boom! ! !
After a deafening bang.

The sturdy railing twisted and deformed instantly, denting outwards in a shocking human-shaped arc.

Lin Ye groaned, feeling a sweet taste in his throat. A surge of blood almost burst out, but he forced it back down.

What a terrifying power!

Before Lin Ye could recover from the excruciating pain, a deadly sense of crisis descended from above!

Before Lin Ye could even adjust his posture, a chill ran down his spine, and he abruptly looked up.

The enormous body of the giant winged demon had somehow flown into the air, and its right claw descended from the sky, turning into a gray-white afterimage as it viciously grabbed at his skull!
Just as Lin Ye was about to dodge, he was surprised to find that the deadly claw shadow inexplicably drew an extremely strange arc in mid-air.

It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly reversed its attack trajectory.

boom--! ! !
The giant claw finally landed on a metal platform a few meters away from Lin Ye.

The entire platform shook violently.

Lin Ye clearly heard the ear-piercing sound of the massive steel structure inside the platform being snapped.

Gaaaaaaah—!
Having missed its target, the giant-winged demon let out a roar filled with frustration and rage.

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed.

He made further guesses about the true nature of this monster.

The doctor and the woman who seemed to be an assistant were not actually one entity.

There is no concept of a main body and clones.

This monster likely possesses two consciousnesses within it.

One was a doctor who wanted to capture him alive and use him as the perfect experimental subject.

The other was the giant winged demon itself, who only wanted to tear him, the intruder, to pieces.

The doctor wants to stay, the monster wants to kill.

Two consciousnesses are now battling each other in the left and right hemispheres.

Lin Ye suddenly exerted force with his legs, broke free, and readjusted his fighting stance.

He wiped away a trace of blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Extend your right hand forward.

Countless purple specks of light appeared out of thin air and quickly converged and condensed.

A spear, about two meters long and made entirely of pure purple crystals, reappeared in his palm.

After consuming a large amount of source crystals.

Lin Ye's mastery of crystallization skills is already somewhat similar to that of the Crystal Spirit Clan's former larvae.

At least this ability to create crystal guns out of thin air is something Lin Ye couldn't have done before.

The amethyst gun barrel shimmered with iridescent light, exuding a dangerous and eerie aura.

This time, Lin Ye did not disperse the attack afterward.

Maintaining the existence of this crystal gun requires a constant drain on his mental energy.

But at this moment, he needs a weapon that is both sturdy and handy enough to fight this giant winged demon.

Out of loyalty, he had promised to avenge the Shi brothers, Shi Lei and Shi Hao.

Logically speaking, the tasks issued by the system are ironclad rules that cannot be violated.

Only by killing the monster in front of you can you complete the mission and unlock the next stage!

Lin Ye's eyes showed no more hesitation, and the surging blood and qi in his body erupted like a flood bursting its banks!
He transformed into a streak of lightning!

The purple crystal spear in his hand unleashed a burst of light and shadow in an instant, carrying a sharp edge that could tear everything apart, enveloping the massive body of the giant winged demon.

Despite their enormous size, the giant winged demons also possess astonishingly fast reaction speeds.

It brandished its claws in an attempt to block, but Lin Ye was faster and his angles were more cunning.

After it clumsily parried several spear shadows, more sharp spears pierced its body.

puff!puff!puff!
The purple crystalline light penetrated the flesh and blood, bringing out clumps of foul-smelling green blood.

The intense pain completely ignited the monster's ferocity.

It abandoned its defense, allowing Lin Ye's attacks to leave bloody holes in its body, while its claws swung wildly at Lin Ye in a suicidal manner!

Each swing was powerful and heavy, stirring up a howling wind.

Lin Ye instantly felt immense pressure.

This was the first time he had fought an enemy whose size completely overwhelmed him.

While dodging and weaving, he also had to be wary of the two claws and sweeping legs that were powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, and he also had to be on guard against the pair of fleshy wings that were equally powerful!
boom!
Just as Lin Ye sidestepped and narrowly avoided a sweeping claw strike,

Those enormous fleshy wings emerged from an entirely unexpected angle, like a ghost!

Their speed was so great that they blocked all his escape routes!
There is no way to avoid it!

Lin Ye's pupils contracted, and in a flash, he poured all his mental energy into the area in front of him.

A hexagonal shield wall composed of countless purple crystals instantly materialized in front of him.

The next instant, the heavy fleshy wings slammed hard against the shield wall!
Click!

The shield wall lasted for less than half a second before it was covered with spiderweb-like cracks and shattered with a crash.

After most of the impact was dissipated, the remaining force still slammed into Lin Ye.

He was sent flying again, crashing heavily into the wall in the distance with a dull thud.

This time, Lin Ye could no longer suppress his emotions and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

His internal blood and qi were in turmoil, and he suffered considerable internal injuries.

If it weren't for his naturally incredible stamina and ridiculously high health bar, those two attacks alone would have been enough to give him a run for his money.

"Stop! Stop everyone!"

The doctor's sharp and anxious voice rang out again, this time filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Lin Ye! You have no idea how precious your talent is! Your perfect adaptation to Source Crystals is probably unique in the entire world!"

"If this trait of yours is exposed, you will be doomed!"

"But you can cooperate with me!"

"Don't you want to... live forever!"

"I have lived for over two hundred years thanks to the Source Crystal! With your potential, as long as you cooperate with me, you can live even longer, and immortality may not be just a pipe dream!"

"All I need is some of your blood and some cerebrospinal fluid... Once I unlock the secrets of your body, I can transform myself, shed this damned monster form, and exist as a human again for a long time!"

"At that time, I will be able to return to human society, and you will gain endless life!"

The doctor's voice was seductive, painting a picture that could drive anyone mad.

Lin Ye leaned against the wall, slowly stood up, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

He raised his head and looked at the monster, whose movements were slightly sluggish because the doctor's consciousness had taken over, his eyes unwavering.

The next moment, two completely different voices rang out almost at the same time.

"Not interested in."

"Shut up!"

Lin Ye's icy response overlapped with the monster's savage roar.

boom!
The giant-winged demon went completely berserk. It no longer paid attention to the doctor's will, and its wings flapped violently, stirring up a more terrifying gale that swept towards Lin Ye!

This time, Lin Ye did not try to withstand it.

He pushed his mental energy to its limit.

In his perception, the invisible gale seemed to have transformed into countless visible torrents of water, each trajectory clearly presented in his mind.

Lin Ye pushed off with both legs, leaping into the air to a height of four or five meters, and precisely passed through the gap between the two streams of air!
The wind howled past his feet and slammed against the wall behind him, producing a sickening metallic groan.

Lin Ye's figure suddenly turned in mid-air, and his right leg slammed down on the rough wall!
He shot off like an arrow, becoming a purple meteor, his crystal spear aimed directly at the ugly head of the giant winged demon!

Roar!
Faced with this fatal blow, the giant winged demon did not dodge or evade. Instead, it opened its massive maw, which was covered with layers of sharp teeth, and bit back at Lin Ye in mid-air!

It wants to devour Lin Ye, gun and all!
A resolute glint flashed in Lin Ye's eyes.

He was in mid-air and had no way to change direction.

The next instant, the foul-smelling maw closed, clamping down on him tightly.

but……

Crack... Bang!!!

A sharp, teeth-grinding crack.

The giant-winged demon felt as if it were biting not flesh and blood, but a rock that was even harder to bite than the hardest alloy!

Several of the sharp teeth in its mouth shattered instantly under the terrifying force of the bite!

Crystallization!
Just before being bitten, Lin Ye covered his entire body with amethyst!
Just like that young Crystal Spirit back then.

The attack bonus from amethyst is far less significant than its defensive bonus.

He was unharmed.

Meanwhile, the excruciating pain of shattered teeth caused the giant-winged demon to let out a furious howl.

It instinctively wanted to let go.

This was the opportunity Lin Ye had been waiting for!

He instantly exited the crystallization state and poured all his power and blood energy into the purple crystal spear in his hand!
The purple crystal spear, carrying all of Lin Ye's anger and power, seized the moment when the giant winged demon was in pain and plunged it fiercely into its right eye!

The spear tip pierced through, reaching right into the skull!
Awooo—!!!
An indescribable scream of agony echoed throughout the underground space!

Large amounts of thick, green blood gushed out like a fountain.

The giant-winged demon, in pain, went completely berserk. It instinctively swung its right claw, swatting Lin Ye down as if swatting a fly!

boom!
Lin Ye's body crashed heavily onto the metal platform. The crystallized energy had long been exhausted, and this blow caused his internal organs to churn violently.

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his vision began to blur.

But he didn't stop at all.

As he tumbled upon landing, he mustered his last breath and sprang to his feet.

With a flash, he circled directly into the giant winged demon's blind spot. Then, before the monster could turn around, he leaped up, silently clinging to the bottom of the massive platform like a gecko.

Press your body tightly against the cold metal beam.

He suppressed all fluctuations in his qi and blood, and even temporarily stopped breathing.

The giant winged demon, having lost sight in one eye, spun wildly on the platform, brandishing its claws and fleshy wings, attacking everything around it indiscriminately.

It is roaring, it is searching.

Lin Ye hung upside down in the shadow of the platform, feeling the violent vibrations coming from above, and forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi in his body.

he got hurt.

An unprecedentedly severe injury.

Both mental and physical strength are on the verge of exhaustion.

Now, he needs time.

After just ten seconds, the system will determine that he has left the combat state.

The mechanism of regenerating health after disengaging from combat will be triggered.

Lin Ye hung upside down below the platform, and every tremor from above was incredibly agitated and violent.

Fortunately, after losing its sight, the giant-winged demon was indeed unable to see Lin Ye for a short period of time.

Even if he's anxious, there's nothing he can do in a short time.

[Ding! You have disengaged from combat and are beginning to recover.]

Almost at the same instant the system notification sounded.

boom! ! !
A piercing metallic tearing sound rang out from not far away!
A huge, ugly claw, carrying immense force, suddenly stabbed down from above, tearing a huge hole in the alloy platform.

The entire platform shook violently.

Lin Ye's pupils contracted.

He knew he couldn't hide for long, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye heard the dull thud of the giant winged demon's feet stomping heavily on the metal plate.

The next moment, a hideous head covered in blood and bits of flesh suddenly emerged from the huge hole.

His only remaining eye, bloodshot and fixed, stared intently at the darkness below.

Suddenly, it abruptly pulled its head back.

A sense of foreboding arose in Lin Ye's heart.

Almost instinctively, he exerted force with all four limbs, like a silent gecko, and quickly moved sideways five or six meters along the metal keel at the bottom of the platform!
boom! ! !
There was another deafening bang.

The demonic claw slashed down violently, precisely piercing the spot where he had just been hiding, sending up a shower of flying metal fragments.

"Ouch!"

The attack missed.

Above, came the furious roar of the giant-winged demon.

It knew that it had been tricked by this cunning human again.

The next moment, the heavy footsteps and roars suddenly disappeared.

The entire space fell into a moment of deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, an unparalleled whooshing sound came from above.

That was the sound of some enormous object plummeting rapidly!

Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine and dared not be the slightest bit careless.

He no longer hid, and kicked off the metal keel with both legs.

He was launched from below the platform like a cannonball, flying towards the top of one of the metal pillars of the huge mechanical construct a dozen meters away.

The very next second after his body left the platform.

An unprecedentedly terrifying roar descended behind him!

The giant winged demon flew into the sky, and its massive body crashed down from mid-air with all its might, smashing the entire suspended metal platform into a pile of twisted scrap metal!

Countless metal fragments of varying sizes fell like a torrential rain into the bottomless darkness below.

Lin Tian grabbed the cold, thick mechanical pillar and managed to steady himself.

This brief period of recovery and maneuvering has restored nearly half of his physical and mental strength.

He looked back.

The giant winged demon flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air, staring in his direction, but did not rush up immediately.

Lin Ye pondered for a moment and instantly understood.

This is a case of being hesitant to act for fear of breaking the law.

What it feared was not itself, but the incredibly massive machine beneath it.

Lin Ye looked down to observe.

He had been too far away to realize just how big it was.

The entire device consists of three giant metal pillars, each several meters high.

At that moment, he clung to the top of one of the branches.

Through the translucent outer shell, he could see countless streams of dark blue energy rushing rapidly through the internal conduits.

The base of the three giant pillars was deeply rooted in that giant source crystal.

Hundreds of needle-like energy extractors, like probes, continuously extract energy from the source crystal and transport it upwards along the energy channels inside the column.

What exactly is this thing used for?

The thought had barely crossed Lin Ye's mind when he saw the giant winged demon hovering in the air suddenly turn around and disappear into the darkness in the distance.

Looking closely, Lin Ye saw a control panel emanating from the source crystal, emitting a brilliant blue light.

A writhing mass of flesh separated from the back of the giant winged demon and quickly coalesced into the Doctor in mid-air.

"open……!"

The giant-winged demon uttered a hoarse command.

The doctor glanced at Lin Ye with a complex expression. His eyes held admiration, anger, and resentment, but more than anything, they held a kind of madness that was about to lead to his demise.

He reached out and resolutely pulled down a red lever on the control panel.

Om-!
Lin Ye felt the entire vast underground space tremble violently at that moment!

The giant source crystal, which served as the energy source, suddenly emitted a blue light a hundred times brighter than before, like a supernova about to explode.

Visible torrents of energy were being frantically drawn in and converged at the top of the three giant metal pillars where Lin Ye was located.

Above the dome, a deafening roar came from the sound of rock and metal being torn apart.

A huge crack slowly opened.

Lin Ye sensed that the entire machine had been activated, and a sense of alarm rose in his heart.

With another leap, he jumped down from the top of the metal pillar and headed straight for the control panel!

The giant-winged monster let out a cry, and the doctor's face, which had just taken shape, turned back into flowing flesh and blood, merging into its massive body.

Lin Ye felt a strong, foul-smelling gust of wind rush towards him.

The human and the monster clashed once again on another battlefield deep underground.

Only this time.

Lin Ye had already stuffed the two pills into his mouth.

Blood Explosion Pill!
Almost the instant the pill entered his stomach, a scorching torrent exploded within his body.

His speed and strength surged by 30% in an instant!

Lin Ye had now completely mastered the rhythm of fighting this behemoth.

He no longer confronted it head-on, his figure flashing and shifting, like a purple ghost, rapidly circling the giant winged demon's massive body.

Although the giant winged demon was ferocious, it had lost sight on one side and was completely suppressed by Lin Ye's speed.

Its powerful attacks always ended up hitting empty air, creating gusts of wind.

However, Lin Ye's purple crystal spear always managed to find an opportunity to leave deep, bone-revealing bloody holes in its body.

"Lin Ye!"

"Please, I'm begging you! I'm human too! I don't want to... go to Tianyuan!"

Don't push me!

The doctor's pained and contorted face suddenly appeared on the back of the giant winged demon, making a final plea to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's response was an even more lethal shot.

puff!

The crystal spear pierced through the face, drawing out a spray of green blood.

Just then, the entire underground base suddenly shook violently!
Lin Ye saw that the dark blue light inside the huge source crystal was dimming rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At the same time, three huge, curved metal wings suddenly unfolded radially from the top of the three enormous metal pillars!

A dazzling white lightning bolt burst forth from the wing, illuminating the entire dark underground space as bright as day!
sizzle-

Above, the dome that had been slowly opening was now completely open!

Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw one after another, ugly fusion monsters falling in panic from the open dome above, like dumplings being poured into a pot.

Then, he saw a very familiar silhouette of a dilapidated building.

The Third People's Hospital of Dongjiang Province, Inpatient Department!
Lin Ye understood instantly.

This massive underground base was hidden right beneath the circular plaza of that abandoned hospital!

Zila——! ! !
Lin Ye's vision was completely enveloped by a pure white light, and all he could hear was a deafening roar.

A terrifying white beam of light, more than ten meters thick, shot into the sky from the center of the three metal pillars, piercing through the hole in the dome and soaring straight into the clouds!

This white pillar of light, which pierced through the heavens and the earth, suddenly exploded after reaching an extremely high point!

Lin Ye did not see the light or fire of the explosion.

But then I saw a... spatial rift!
A massive spatial rift stretched across the sky above the ruins of Dongjiang City, extending for several kilometers!

Unlike the crack Lin Ye had seen before, it did not disappear instantly.

Instead, it was forcibly stabilized there by this enormous energy, like a giant eye that suddenly opened, leading to an unknown world.

Awooo—!!

Just as Lin Ye was deeply shocked by the apocalyptic scene before him...

The giant-winged demon let out a fierce roar of resentment.

The next moment, its fleshy wings suddenly flapped!

Lin Ye felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was lifted up by a tremendous force, instantly being carried dozens of meters into the air.

The giant winged demon's massive body shuddered suddenly in mid-air, and a tremendous force came through, attempting to throw Lin Ye off its back.

It's going to run!
Its target is the enormous spatial rift overhead!
It wants to... return to the Heavenly Abyss!
