A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 297 The Space Serpent is Too Terrifying

According to the usual practice of the giant space serpent, anyone who dares to disrupt its cultivation will surely die without a burial place.

This time, granting the other party a chance to atone for their sins can be considered an act of leniency beyond the law.

Firstly, the space serpent didn't understand what this pitch-black sphere was all about, so it was understandably wary. Secondly, the space serpent wanted to test the other party to see if it could gain any benefits.

To create such an unknown, pitch-black sphere, one must either have someone behind them or possess some kind of secret treasure.

However, the other party's response was far beyond the Space Serpent's expectations.

Lu Shang asked curiously, "Why should I listen to you? Where did you come from?"

Originally, he came out to take a look because the bee swarm reported that a huge creature had appeared outside the darkness. But the creature immediately asked him to atone for his sins.

"How dare you address me as an object!"

The giant space serpent was furious. It had kindly given this tiny creature a chance, but the creature was so ungrateful!

Lu Shang retorted without any politeness, "Then aren't you a thing?"

"You...!"

The giant space serpent was furious.

Lu Shang continued, "So, are you a thing or not?"

Enraged but momentarily at a loss for words, the giant space serpent completely changed its mind; it would make this tiny creature pay the price!

It belongs to the otherworldly deity who has traversed countless worlds and has destroyed countless races and civilizations. Yet now there is such a reckless fellow who has ruined its cultivation and dares to provoke it with words without remorse...

What a damned wretch!

"With a mere sixth-level Divine Realm power, you dare to be so reckless! Since you wish to die, then I will grant your wish!"

The immense spiritual energy was released in an instant, carrying an overwhelming force that distorted even spacetime. In a short while, the area around Lu Shang's substitute was filled with spacetime rifts of all sizes, or rather, enlarged wormholes.

Terrifying psionic energy stirred up spacetime, which was like a calm ocean experiencing a storm, full of chaos and danger. Right below Lu Shang, a special spacetime was slowly unfolding, and particles of stellar wind fell into it, expanding into huge circles comparable to planets at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A more ground-state two-dimensional space!

At this moment, Lu Shang, who was at the center of this spacetime storm, had no time to pay attention to these things. His gaze was fixed on the giant space serpent that was releasing its power.

"Level 82 psionic energy?" Lu Shang sensed it carefully for a while, puzzled. "No, that's not right. This isn't the kind of power that level 82 psionic energy can exhibit."

In terms of perception, it is level 82 psionic energy, but the output is clearly not level 82, but rather an output above that level, which clearly indicates that there is a problem.

Seeing the ground-state two-dimensional space below him expanding larger and larger, Lu Shang asked the bee swarm to deal with it.

Then, to the astonishment of the giant space serpent, the two-dimensional space it created unexpectedly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye!

On a microscopic scale unseen by the cosmic serpent, countless pairs of quarks are broken apart by planetary beings using psionic energy, extracting mass from that two-dimensional space, which causes that two-dimensional space to shrink.

"How could this be... It seems you've been hiding your power. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. But if you think this is my full strength, you're sorely mistaken! Prepare to die!"

The giant space serpent completely abandoned its contempt for Lu Shang. Although it couldn't understand why its dimensional reduction attack could be neutralized, it could guess who the instigator was.

Even so, the giant space serpent still had no intention of avoiding battle. It was a powerful being, so how could it become timid and hesitant when it encountered a lowly being of a much lower level?

The space serpent's strong will wouldn't allow it to avoid battle. If it did, it would likely live in the shadow of its opponent for the rest of its life!

The giant space serpent mobilized all its spiritual power and crushed everything in its path. Its terrifying power caused spacetime to distort and tremble along its way, and spacetime rifts, or wormholes, were expanded to a macroscopic level under this power.

If Saturn were to completely absorb this attack, the entire planet would be uniformly pulverized into individual molecules, and the solar system would no longer have Saturn, but instead a nebula composed of Saturnian molecular matter.

However, it was precisely this terrifyingly powerful blow that Lu Shang received unscathed, causing the space serpent's six eyes to nearly bulge out of their sockets, even more horrified than before.

Just now, the fact that I managed to neutralize its dimensional reduction attack meant that the opponent was at most a hidden powerhouse. But to directly withstand its full-force attack with my bare body was truly something indescribable.

"This is impossible! How can you remain unharmed under the power of my divine power?!" the giant space serpent exclaimed in horror.

Lu Shang replied matter-of-factly, "That's because I'm stronger than you."

Unbeknownst to many, countless planetary beings were secretly gathering their psionic energy to fight against the psionic energy of this giant space serpent. Its so-called all-out attack couldn't even kill a single cell in Lu Shang's substitute body; it was simply a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

However, although it is just a mayfly, it seems that there is some secret hidden in this mayfly.

"You seem to have some unexpected information to give me. If you want to live, you'd better cooperate with us now."

As he said this, Lu Shang made a fist, and the giant space serpent was immediately bound by a spiritual power beyond its comprehension, unable to move anymore.

Only then did the giant space serpent realize how ridiculous its actions had been.

"Don't even think about it! You think I'll submit to you!"

Even when faced with a formidable foe, the space serpent would not submit obediently. It was a powerful being that traversed countless worlds, a desolate god from another realm whose name was feared by countless civilizations and races.

escape!

Abruptly, the enormous space serpent exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Two thousand light-years away, a small mass of matter coalesced into a three-kilometer-long serpent, identical in appearance to the one Lu Shang had come into contact with, only much smaller.

But before the shrunken space snake could even rejoice at its narrow escape, an unexpected creature appeared in its field of vision.

This creature is Lu Shang, or more accurately, Lu Shang's stand-in.

The space serpent was once again imprisoned by the overwhelming psionic energy.

"No! Why..." The space serpent's bound body tried in vain to break free from the psionic confinement. All of this was far beyond its comprehension, and it couldn't understand why this was happening.

Lu Shang said, "The same escape method won't work the second time."

"Impossible, I have never met you before! This move is my own creation!" the Space Serpent denied.

Lu Shang nodded. "That's true, but a similar escape tactic was used by an extinct race a long time ago. Unfortunately, the tactic you came up with was already known to someone else, who even used it in front of me."

Is this an existence older than me? The space serpent pondered in disbelief.
