Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 251: The Light and Shadow of Bygone Days! [Transformative Intuition]!

The doll Kronos stretched out its crystallized arm to meet the descending blade of light!

Countless dark brown light spots burst forth from its body, converging into a faceless clay giant that punched and slammed into each other!

In an instant!

The entire space seemed to be shaking!

That was the ultimate elemental power charging fearlessly under the command of its respective master!

The light of ice and fire shone brightly in mid-air!

The clay giant's body surface crumbles layer by layer, but it is constantly replenished with earth elements.

The layers upon layers of soil ultimately stopped Ling Xiao's descending sword.

However, neither side was misled by the current situation.

The alchemical doll Chronos raised its hand, which was cracking with electricity, and its joints expanded and split open, from which countless magnetized copper whiskers shot out!

The soil that collapsed in mid-air became the best cover.

But these magnetized copper whiskers had barely broken through the scattered soil when they were shredded to pieces by several extremely sharp blades!

Ling Xiao was not surprised that his previous attack had been blocked and failed to achieve its intended purpose.

In fact.

The pressure this alchemical doll exerted on him was considerable.

The main reason is that this guy is highly skilled in earth elemental magic and alchemy, and he can combine them seamlessly.

A swift and decisive victory?

It wasn't actually difficult for Ling Xiao.

However, he possesses the [Flamemer Alchemy Manual] and has already begun "studying" related courses.

Such a person, proficient in magic and alchemy, is undoubtedly an excellent research subject.

After the domineering blade slashed, a strong wind lifted him into the air.

He casually shattered the numerous tentacles that were surrounding him, and behind him, thousands of cold lights were gathering!

One wave is not enough.

Ling Xiao is now fully capable of charging up his power multiple times and then... unleashing it instantly!

As the mud cleared and a clear view was revealed, the core of the alchemical doll, which served as its eye, flashed with a faint light.

It clearly sensed the deadly threat from the sky!

How can someone who is clearly just a weak human exude such terrifying magical power?

In its moment of shock and rage, a cold light poured down!

The massive rock was "uprooted" by the alchemical doll, and over the long years, it transformed the terrain of this floating island into a structure suitable for the flow and utilization of earth elements.

It may seem like a fair arena, but in reality, the solid ground beneath its feet has already become its advantage.

However, from the start of the battle to its current climax, Ling Xiao has never stepped into this arena.

Not only did they see through the alchemical matrix hidden underground in advance, they didn't even give it a chance to stand on solid ground!

At this moment.

Air-to-ground strikes covered the entire area!

Thousands of cold lights stretched out from behind Lingxiao.

It appears to be moving very slowly, but in reality, it's shooting at such a high speed that it's impossible to see!

The rock is struggling to "grow" upwards, while clods of earth are resisting from all sides.

However, all of this seemed far too weak under Ling Xiao's violent suppression.

The cold light exploded immediately upon impact, unleashing its power and sending fragments of sand and gravel flying in all directions!

"Hehe... Ah!!"

The doll let out a low growl that was not human, and its already cracked skin peeled off inch by inch under the surging magic power inside its body and the heavy blows from the external pressure.

Kronos had been barely maintaining his "humanity" through earth elemental magic, but at this moment, he realized that he should have died long ago.

After he merged into this inhuman, ghostly alchemical creation, Chronos, as a human, had already died.

What exists in this world is merely an alchemical doll bearing his name...

Those who place their hopes on alchemical creations will ultimately be devoured by those alchemical creations.

The boundary called rationality is broken.

The last obstacle preventing the perfect fusion of alchemy and earth element collapsed.

Kronos fulfilled his wish to some extent, resulting in the complete disappearance of the original sluggishness and difficulty in the flow of power in the alchemical doll.

The barrage of countless cold flashes, delivered with lightning speed, blasted the hastily defending rocks and soil into utter chaos.

But the puppet at the bottom stopped roaring.

It raised its head expressionlessly, and the patterns on its body shone with an unprecedentedly strong radiance!

That is the earth element being continuously extracted from the earth like fish out of a pond!

hum-

The puppet's arms suddenly came together!

After the hands merged, the ten fingers twisted and spread out, forming a tightly spaced array!

A rich, brownish-yellow light burst forth from the palm, rippled outwards, and formed a constantly rotating matrix!

A massive amount of soil flowed like water.

After the earth softens and rises, the matrix is poured in from behind, and finally a giant serpent of dust as wide as a truck emerges from the matrix!

Most importantly, the giant python's eye sockets also gleamed with a ferocious light!

Ling Xiao was surrounded by endless cold light.

Suspended in the sky.

I can't see their expressions clearly.

But he could sense the extraordinary nature of the puppet's killing move.

To put it simply...

That is—the finishing touch!

The life created by alchemy has truly come to life!

"Are you kidding me!?"

Ling Xiao's heart sank.

The giant python seemed to have broken free from the constraints of gravity as it pounced on the tiny humans in the sky!

The once invincible cold light.

At this moment, the bombardment hitting its surface only splashed up clumps of loose, rotten mud.

The offensive and defensive strategies have shifted.

Ling Xiao unknowingly fell into the very situation he least wanted to be in.

He was never afraid of the puppet's threat.

Even if the other party is a conscious alchemical creation.

But judging from his intuition honed by his extensive combat experience, this guy... is just so-so!

Alchemy, huh...

It's not like he's never seen anything like it before.

During the last dream trial, didn't Professor Flamel and his magic-savvy "old flame" still lose to him?

Therefore, after Ling Xiao landed on the floating island and met his opponent, he had the idea of "sharpening his sword" in his mind.

But it seems that's not possible now...

If this continues, it seems a bit dangerous...

But it's only a little bit!

As the giant dust python drew ever closer, its ferocious aura seemed to defy the heavens!

Ling Xiao calmly withdrew his magical power.

The myriad cold lights ceased, and the rain of light became sparse.

"roar!!!"

The giant python opened its blood-red maw, attempting to swallow the figure whole.

"Want to eat me?"

Ling Xiao gripped the knife again.

"open!"

The extremely concentrated flames were tightly bound to the longsword by a powerful tornado, and with Lingxiao's swing, they unleashed a dense blade of light that shimmered with dark red glints!

Spiritual energy is being released wildly!

In return, you get the ultimate output!

The giant python's body was ripped apart with overwhelming force, and its enormous head split in two in mid-air before it could even close.

Ling Xiao descended from the sky once again with unstoppable momentum!

But unexpectedly, the two halves of the giant python's body that had been cut off suddenly transformed into countless tiny mud snakes that surrounded it!

They swam in the air, their eyes flashing with a fierce light!

This unexpected turn of events was something Ling Xiao hadn't anticipated.

He noticed that the puppet seemed to have undergone some kind of change, resulting in a more seamless and harmonious combination of elemental magic and alchemical formulas.

He was equally cautious even when faced with the resurrected mud python.

He broke the deadlock with a domineering blade right from the start!

However, Ling Xiao underestimated the degree of "life" of the doll.

The giant python can be quickly decomposed and reactivated after being broken open, thanks to the spirit infusion of the puppet!

If he can't eliminate the culprit as soon as possible, no matter how many elemental monsters he kills, he won't be able to solve this predicament.

The instant he realized his mistake, Ling Xiao quickly grasped the key point.

Ignore the swarm of tiny snakes that are slithering toward him.

His falling speed increased dramatically again!

Orange flames exploded behind him!

The force of such an impact would likely cause broken bones, ruptured tendons, and internal organ rupture to anyone else.

But on Ling Xiao's monstrous physique, it's less effective than Qi Heng's trash talk.

Only he could pull off such a bold tactic, and only he would dare to play it this way.

Not only the swarm of snakes that were chasing and blocking them, but also the core that was rapidly spinning in the doll's eye sockets lost its lock on the target in an instant.

It may have lost its humanity, but it did not lose its ability to think.

The head, glowing with faint light, instinctively looked around, trying to quickly rediscover the enemy.

Just as its head straightened, Lingxiao was still in the air and had not yet landed when the blade slashed horizontally.

The latest novel is first published here!

bass--

A brilliant arc of light, like a fiery sunset, swept across the alchemical doll.

It splits starting from the side waist.

The smooth surface was covered with burnt black residue.

Instantly cut in half!

This is not finished!

Ling Xiao extended his left hand, pointing his index finger at the upper body of the doll.

"Bang."

He said softly.

A spark of fire ignited at his fingertips!

The raging flames surged wildly, instantly engulfing the upper half of the doll's torso!

This is not finished!

One shot after another!

Three bursts of blazing flames almost overlapped and slammed into that meticulously crafted alchemical artifact!

Ling Xiao did not relax.

Just as they were preparing to continue the pursuit until the puppet was completely destroyed, an extremely dangerous fluctuation suddenly emanated from its lower body, which was connected to the ground.

"This is...no good!"

Boom boom boom!!!

The explosion smoke and dust, filled with toxic mercury and silver miasma, spread in a ring, followed closely by a surging destructive force!

It also contained countless crystallized earth element mud blocks, which acted as "shrapnel" in the high-speed flight!

The doll that had been hit by three bursts of flames was not destroyed, and it even took the opportunity to detonate its lower body in order to retaliate against Ling Xiao, who was right in front of it.

Aside from perfect blurring and instant teleportation, Ling Xiao couldn't think of any way to perfectly avoid this sneak attack.

but……

What a coincidence...

He not only possesses these two incredible abilities, but he has both of them!

The explosion occurred at the very moment Ling Xiao intuitively sensed the warning.

His entire body disappeared into a dark silver stream of light as if swallowed by a vortex!

The smoke and destructive force of the explosion surged wildly, but Ling Xiao, who had sent himself into another dimension to escape, was completely unaffected.

He could stay even longer if he wanted.

But it's unnecessary.

Avoiding the first wave is enough.

[Instantaneous Merge into the Void] followed immediately by [Sky-Splitting Flash]!

Ling Xiao advanced instead of retreating!

The doll, with multiple burn and festering marks on its surface, was flying backwards in the air, and its reflection appeared in the crystal core!

"Ha!"

The doll struggled to raise its arm, but in the next second, a sharp ice spear pierced its skull!

bang——

The powerful inertia of the ice spear pinned the puppet, now only half its body remaining, to the ground.

The Ice Soul Domain had already enveloped the area.

Although the doll is situated on the earth beneath its control, a thick layer of ice separates them.

The role of a domain is not just about changes in elements.

Once the doll is trapped in its own domain, it won't be so easy for other earth elements to get in!

Lingxiao landed gently.

A fierce wind swirled around him, and the scattered sparks proved that he still retained the ability to erupt at any moment.

In fact, [Dimensional Rift] could have decided the outcome much earlier, or even instantly killed this puppet.

But Ling Xiao wanted to find out some secrets from it.

Some...secrets that are hard to come by...

"Professor Kronos, what era and kingdom did you live in? And what academy did you hold the title of professor at?"

Ling Xiao had already pulled the ice spear out of the doll's head.

However, after suffering a series of severe damage, the lifespan of this alchemical doll eventually reached its limit.

Within the massive gaping wound at the skull, liquid metal gleamed with an eerie light as it was carefully repaired.

However, the repair speed cannot keep up with the pace of collapse.

Alchemy matrices are extremely sophisticated structures.

Once large-scale damage occurs.

Trying to heal oneself using the existing "program" seems extremely ineffective.

Upon hearing Ling Xiao's question, the puppet laboriously twisted its broken head.

"I...I can't tell you anything..."

"A confidentiality agreement? Alchemy is that effective? It's been so many years, can't you be a little more flexible?"

Ling Xiao was somewhat exasperated, "Even though I beat you up like this, I'm truly a good person!"

The doll tilted its head, seemingly not understanding why this guy had said such rude things.

"I...forgot a lot...I don't know..."

"You've forgotten a lot, but you should still remember some things, right?"

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Ling Xiao quickly asked, "Professor Kronos, you don't want the alchemy you've studied your whole life to be lost, do you?"

"I remember... this used to be a forest..."

No complaints.

Ling Xiao understood that what the other person was about to say might contain a great deal of information in just a few words, so he waited attentively for what would follow.

"Magic changed everything...no, not magic...it was countless demonic stars that fell from the sky...no, not only them!"

The growing terror emanating from the doll's deformed body was utterly astonishing on a tantalizing artifact!

"The earth cracked open... the ocean was stained black... my kingdom fought valiantly but still fell. I don't want to die, at least... at least I don't want to die in the mouth of those monsters that crawl out of the abyss!"

"So...so..."

The doll's voice gradually lowered, revealing a human-like fear and bewilderment within the crystal core.

"So... I used a forbidden technique that had only been theoretically demonstrated in books, and I hid inside this alchemical doll and survived... I survived?"

"You survived? Are you sure it's you who survived?"

Ling Xiao waved his hand, conjuring a sheet of ice crystals.

He said softly, "Professor Kronos, look at yourself now!"

"This...this is me? This isn't me! This isn't...me..."

The doll's last glimmer of light began to disintegrate and dissipate after burning.

In fact, Ling Xiao had noticed it long ago.

If he tries to coax or deceive him, he might be able to get more information out of "Knos".

Ling Xiao just felt that letting this inhuman monster die consciously in the end was also a way to accumulate good karma...

He has seen the lost soul and the lost heart.

He could vaguely sense that bygone era, that dark period of history, even through the thick veil.

He still wanted to preserve some dignity for these remnants of the old era...

Blue light fragments flew out from the completely collapsed doll of the alchemical matrix.
