Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The sounds of monsters falling to the ground gradually intensified, leaving only the level two or higher isomers lurking among the monster horde.

A flash of sword light appeared behind Li Xia. Amidst the clear, sharp sword cry, the Frost Condensation Sword transformed into a streak of light, swirling in mid-air.

Ye Ji also thrust out, his highly spiritual spear resembling a silver dragon swimming in mid-air.

Two beams of light darted across the battlefield before soaring into the sky and surging toward Li Xia in two arcs.

Li Xia gripped the spear, planted it on the ground, and slowly sheathed the Frost Condensation Sword with a backhand.

At this moment, there was not a single alien beast standing on the battlefield within the barrier.

Everyone stared blankly at the battlefield before them. The dark clouds overhead were still spinning rapidly, forming a huge vortex, like an eye that had opened across the sky. All around them were raging lightning and continuous thunder.

Smoke billowed from the battlefield, a scene of utter devastation, where thousands upon thousands of monster corpses lay strewn about.

Li Xia stood in the center, gun in hand, with the monster corpses, the swirling clouds in the sky, and the raging lightning serving as his backdrop.

Douglas opened his mouth, only to find it incredibly dry, as if something was spreading in his chest cavity, about to burst out.

The ordinary soldiers behind them, however, could no longer contain themselves. They raised their weapons, shouting and embracing each other with all their might.

"Long live Lord Darkflame! Lord Darkflame!"

The despair of facing the impact of death vanished in an instant, bringing such a huge emotional upheaval that it made them lose themselves in the moment.

If the company's employees and his soldiers felt only excitement and ecstasy, then the three titled hunters felt nothing but genuine horror.

They are indeed title hunters, and they truly stand at the pinnacle of this world.

They did not fully unleash their combat power, partly because they were afraid of accidentally damaging the barrier, but also for more complex reasons.

But whether it's azure, emerald, or violet, one thing is certain.

Even if he unleashed all his power and pushed his divine abilities to the limit, he could not achieve what Dark Flame did.

That terrifying fluctuation seemed to be a combination of will and spirit, and other things that were incomprehensible.

This kind of impact is naturally highly targeted at heterogeneous entities and monsters formed from fragments of rules condensed from emotions and desires.

Canglan suddenly remembered a rumor.

Rumor has it that Darkflame changed so much because of a fortuitous encounter that led to a breakthrough.

Although a breakthrough was achieved, the price was forgetting many things from the past, which led to the transformative change we see today.

Upon hearing this rumor, both Azure and Emerald scoffed at it.

As titled hunters, they were well aware that this was nonsense.

Titled hunters can indeed become stronger, and the higher the synchronization rate with their divine equipment, the greater the power they can unleash, but this is definitely not a breakthrough.

A breakthrough should be some kind of explosive growth, significantly stronger than before, unless...

"Do you think he really broke through that threshold?" Emerald seemed to have thought of this as well, and said in a low voice.

Cang Lan was slightly taken aback, while Jin Zi shook her head violently: "It's impossible. No one can break through that point. You've seen the records left by the seniors in the guild. Once you reach that point, your spirit and will will be crushed and assimilated."

That power is the most fundamental power in this world, the rule and foundation that sustains its operation.

How can the human spirit and will possibly contend with the entire world?

Chapter 16 One Man Can Stand Against a Million Soldiers

The so-called "critical point" is an inside story that only titled hunters can understand.

When a level 5 hunter finally establishes an emotional connection with the combat gear in their hands, and this connection gradually strengthens in battle, it eventually reaches a critical point, also known as the first critical point.

After overcoming the assimilation caused by the internal isomers of the weaponry through his own spirit and will, and advancing to the title level hunter, he could feel the unbreakable bond between himself and the divine weaponry.

The divine weapon is like a hunter's partner, a part of his life and body.

The more often a titled hunter uses Divine Armor in battle, the stronger this connection becomes.

With the full release of divine weapons, this connection will be greatly enhanced.

In title hunters, this connection is called "synchronization rate".

Increasing the synchronization rate will make the title hunter stronger and enable them to control higher rules.

When the synchronization rate reaches 100%, the "second critical point" is reached.

According to records kept within the Hunter's Guild, in the more than 100 years since the Great Cataclysm, humanity has gone from living in fear and anxiety as ordinary people to developing gene-based drugs and then to the emergence of combat gear, taking nearly half of that time.

The Hunter class has only existed for a very short time, with the Hunter system only emerging in the last twenty years.

Hunters have fought time and time again, risking their lives time and time again, and so far, only 15 people have been awarded the title of Hunter.

Many of these 15 people died in battle or went missing in the wild.

In particular, the "Seven Deadly Sins of Cataclysm" severely damaged the Hunter's Guild, leaving it in a state of decline.

According to the records, only four hunters have reached the second critical point.

All four of them went insane and mysteriously disappeared.

Azure lowered her head, gripped the azure greatsword in her hand, and felt an overwhelming sense of complexity in her heart.

Divine intervention... it's like a blessing, yet also like a curse.

That sense of closeness, like an extension of one's limbs, brings an extraordinary sense of peace when one is with God.

His synchronization rate had reached 80%, which was in a dangerous range, so he was trying his best to avoid fighting at full strength.

Fortunately, the "Title Hunter" is already extremely powerful. Even without unleashing their full strength, their divine armor and inherent power are enough to crush most situations they encounter.

But... but what if Dark Flame really breaks through?

He looked at the figure standing in front of the barrier, his eyes flashing with longing and doubt.

Without the limitations of synchronization rate or other hidden dangers, it truly concentrates the power of the rules within itself and uses willpower to control them.

"Azure, what's wrong?"

Emerald looked at the stunned Azure and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things..."

Let's go, they'll probably need us up ahead.

Li Xia stood in front of the barrier and whispered into the earpiece, "How long will it take to repair the barrier?"

The anxious, trembling voice of the technical department manager came through the headset: "It will take at least two hours."

No, if it's just a temporary blockade that overloads all the equipment, I can reduce it to one hour!

"One hour... Okay, I'll give you one hour."

Li Xia ended the call and glanced at her side.

Three titled hunters from the Hunter's Guild had already stepped forward and stood in a row with him, watching the madly surging mutants.

Li Xia's attack was indeed quite exaggerated, but the result was only about ten to twenty thousand monsters, and that was because the monsters were relatively densely packed.

The charge of millions of monsters is a scattered line that can stretch for tens of kilometers; it's not so easy to wipe them out.

"So next, we need to keep these monsters outside the barrier."

Cang Lan took a deep breath, gripped the greatsword in his hand, and his eyes gradually ignited with a boiling and scorching fighting spirit.

Synchronization rate is indeed a problem, and they are indeed trying to avoid unfreezing whenever possible.

But as a titled hunter, how could he possibly hesitate and cower in the back just because of the synchronization rate?

They are hunters! Hunters who walk the line between death and danger!

He broke through the title of Heterogeneous Assimilation with his own will and firm belief!

They would never lack the courage to face death, nor would they be timid because of the increased synchronization rate.

The reason we don't usually take action or unleash our full power is so that when needed, we can use our strongest form to confront the enemy.

So what if I become a monster for it?

Emerald and Violet, standing beside them, remained silent, but also gripped their divine guards tightly.

Clearly, they shared the same idea as Azure.

Li Xia paused, glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, and continued walking forward.

A faint voice drifted on the wind:

"We don't need you. You can rest in the back."

The fighting spirit in his eyes was instantly replaced by astonishment.

They seemed not to hear clearly, watching Li Xia, gun in hand, step by step, heading towards the surging tide of monsters.

Has he gone mad?

That's not just one or two, not just one or two thousand, not just one or two thousand, it's hundreds of thousands!

Even if you're incredibly skilled, facing so many monsters would exhaust you to death!

"madman."

Jin Zi muttered something under her breath, took a step, and was about to rush forward.

Even though Darkflame used to be the person she hated the most, and had harassed her more than once, he is now the core of maintaining the new system between the back alley and the Hunter's Guild.

Once he dies, the thriving and prosperous Back Alley and Hunter's Guild will most likely be brought back to their original state.

This was unacceptable to Jin Zi. She had climbed out of the mire of the back alley, and she had feelings for it.

Over the years, she has tried and worked hard, but this murky water is like a dead pool; no matter how hard she tries, she can only create tiny ripples.

Now, for the first time, she saw the pool of water showing signs of activity, like the first rays of dawn appearing on the horizon after a long night.

She was determined to seize this glimmer of hope with all her might and never let it fade away again, even if it meant paying with her life.

Awoo, nestled inside the dragon egg, lazily floated over.

Grandpa Long is kind-hearted and hates seeing anything die in front of him, so he always kills people with his eyes closed. That shout just now exhausted him; he doesn't want to move at all.

"Don't go over there, just wait here!"

"What a joke!" Jin Zi roared, "He'll be dead!"

He can't die, you know? Even if I die, he can't die!

Aowu glanced at the rather pretty Jinzi with surprise. "Hey, this girl has taken a liking to our boss again?"

She's good-looking, but a bit weak.

It waved its paws: "Even if you all die, the boss won't."

Don't go up there and get in the way. If you're there, the boss will have to look after you.

"He might take pity on you and save you if you get into danger, so don't get in his way, just stay put."

The three of them were taken aback. What did this mean?

Li Xia didn't care what happened next.

He carried his spear at an angle as he walked forward, a magnificent halo appearing behind his head.

With a flick of his left hand in a sword-finger gesture, the Ninghua Sword was drawn from its sheath behind his waist.

The exquisite icy longsword split in two, then in three, in mid-air before exploding into sharp fragments that slowly circled around him in a ring.

Li Xia pointed his sword upwards, his mind racing. The ice crystal storm that had been surrounding him suddenly spread out and began to spin rapidly.

Accompanied by the monsters' roars, the horde of monsters surging from the breach crashed against the rocks like a black wave, with countless limbs and pieces of flesh flying everywhere.

Occasionally, a monster would rush over, but with a flash of cold light, Ye Ji would effortlessly pierce through its body.

Li Xia's steps never faltered. Like a giant millstone, he stubbornly pushed against the surging monsters, walking step by step towards the breach.

Those behind were stunned, staring at this world-shaking, miraculous scene, and even lost the ability to speak.
