However, just as Pei Du's final power was about to touch the processor core—
Drip…drip…drip…
A faint, yet strangely rhythmic electronic pulse suddenly rang out from within the Hunter's silent chest! The sound didn't originate from the energy core pierced by the Spear of Judgment, but rather from a deeper, more hidden backup command unit!
Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao's expressions changed at the same time! An extremely ominous premonition crawled up their spines like an icy poisonous snake!
boom--!!!!
Without any warning, a destructive torrent of energy exploded from within the Hunter's frozen metal shell! It wasn't a self-destruction program, but rather... a forcefully infused, highly unstable void energy!
A blinding pale light instantly engulfed the stalker's body! A miniature spatial rift, several meters in diameter and constantly twisting and tearing at the edges, suddenly opened up at the point where the Spear of Judgment had pierced its chest, like a hideous wound in the universe! Extremely violent spatial turbulence, like billions of invisible razors, gushed out from the rift!
The first to be hit was the golden spear of judgment that pierced into his body!
Swish——!!!
Like fragile glass being thrown into a crusher! The Spear of Judgment, composed of highly condensed life energy, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks under the violent spatial turbulence! Then, it shattered with a loud bang! Transformed into golden light points scattered across the sky! Xu Shuangyao felt as if she had been struck hard, her body trembling violently, her face instantly pale, and a streak of light golden blood flowed from the corner of her mouth! The Spear of Judgment was connected to her mind, and the backlash from its forcible destruction directly affected her soul!
A terrifying suction erupted from the spatial rift! Like the embryonic form of a black hole! The surrounding ground, broken vines, metal debris… all matter was frantically pulled, devoured, and crushed! Pei Du's body, covered in dark gold patterns, was like a reef in a gust of wind, his feet sinking deeply into the ground. The dark power of the end flowed frantically through his body, resisting the terrifying suction! His molten gold pupils stared fixedly at the twisting spatial rift, trying to find a way to close it!
But the more deadly attack does not come from the space rift itself!
At the very moment the spatial rift opened, swallowing the Spear of Judgment and creating a chaotic force field! From the deep, silent darkness at the center of the Stalker's completely dimmed head face, a faint, almost imperceptible blue light suddenly flashed, like a last ray of light!
Buzz——!!!
An ultra-low-frequency shockwave, imperceptible to hearing but affecting the deepest structures of living things, suddenly spread out from the wreckage of the stalker! This shockwave, invisible and intangible, contained an extremely vicious frequency, specifically targeting the energy core and soul imprint of living things! It penetrated Pei Du's body's doomsday force field, ignoring the obstruction of spatial turbulence, and like billions of icy poisonous needles, fiercely pierced Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao!
Especially Xu Shuangyao! She had just suffered the backlash of the shattered Spear of Judgment, her soul still reeling from the shock. The golden flame mark between her brows was the very embodiment of the core of the planet's life force! The malevolent shockwaves seemed to possess life, instantly locking onto this warm and majestic source of life! Like sharks smelling blood, they converged and charged frantically!
"Ugh!" Xu Shuangyao groaned in pain! Her body felt like it had been struck by an invisible hammer, causing her to stumble back violently! The golden flame mark between her brows flickered violently, flickering unpredictably! A sharp, cold pain, emanating from the depths of her soul, instantly spread throughout her body! It was as if billions of cold metal ants were gnawing at the core of her consciousness! She felt her life force being forcibly disrupted and torn apart by the strange shockwaves! Her vision went black, and even maintaining her feet became extremely difficult!
"Shuangyao!" Pei Du's eyes were bloodshot! He instantly gave up resisting the suction of the space rift. His body, covered with dark gold patterns, forcibly tore through the chaotic force field and turned into a dark lightning bolt, rushing towards the shaky Xu Shuangyao!
However, the vicious ultra-low frequency shockwave also had a fierce effect on him! Although the essence of his soul imprint was the icy core of the End Star, and its resistance far exceeded Xu Shuangyao's, the targeted interference frequency contained in the shockwave still caused the core in his chest to suddenly stagnate! The surging power of the End was like a frozen river, and there was a momentary lag! The movement towards Xu Shuangyao was inevitably slowed down a bit!
The suction of the spatial rift, the backlash from the shattered Spear of Judgment, and the deadly shockwave directed at the Soul Brand! Under this triple blow, Xu Shuangyao could no longer hold on. Her consciousness quickly dimmed like a candle in the wind, and her body fell limply backwards!
It seemed that she was about to be swallowed up by the raging space turbulence behind her!
At this critical moment of life and death!
Buzz——!!!
A thorny brand light that was far more intense and scorching than any moment before suddenly burst out from the backs of Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao's tightly clasped hands!
The light was no longer a gentle flicker, but now as blinding as a supernova explosion! The mysterious thorn patterns seemed to come alive, instantly spreading and covering the two people's clasped arms! A resonance stemming from the deepest layers of their souls and powers, a fusion of wills that transcended the boundaries of fate and life, was fully aroused at this critical moment!
Pei Du's molten-gold pupils instantly turned golden-red at the brand's glow! He felt a surge of warmth and vitality, like a bursting dam, flowing through the thorn brand's connection, madly pouring into Xu Shuangyao's crumbling body. This power wasn't healing, but... resonance! Xu Shuangyao unconsciously shared and transmitted the vicious shockwaves he had endured directly to Pei Du through the perfect channel of the thorn brand!
