The piercing sound of slicing metal and snapping plant fibers was deafening! The scarlet particle blade embedded itself deeply into the vine barrier! The violent cutting energy and high-frequency vibrations tore through the resilient vines, sending countless golden sawdust and broken vine fibers cascading like a rainstorm! The barrier trembled violently, the slashed center point denting deeply inward, spiderweb-like cracks appearing on the surface! Dark blue particle energy and emerald green life energy collided madly, annihilating each other!
However, the thorn barrier remained unbroken! Its tenacity was beyond imagination! Countless vines coiled around and reinforced the damaged areas, their flowing golden veins radiating an even stronger light, firmly blocking the deadly scarlet particle blade! At the same time, the sharp golden thorns on the barrier's surface grew and stabbed like living creatures, fiercely piercing the hunter's right arm joints, chest, and abdomen!
The hunter's single crimson eye flickered madly! It attempted to draw its blade, but found it entangled in countless tenacious vines, like being mired in the thickest quagmire! The swarming golden thorns, imbued with powerful purifying energy, sent a repulsive and burning pain through its cold metal body!
"Now!" Pei Du's low roar sounded in Xu Shuangyao's consciousness!
Pei Du's eyes flashed with molten gold as he endured the mental shock! His right hand, covered in dark gold lines, suddenly thrust out, fingers spread, palm facing the hunter trapped in front of the thorn barrier! A terrifying, extremely restrained, yet soul-freezing suction force suddenly erupted!
The end·gravitational singularity!
The air around the stalker was instantly sucked out! Even the light was distorted! An irresistible, terrifying gravitational force, like the collapse of a star's core, gripped its metal body tightly! It tried to break free using the jets in its legs, but the jet of dark blue energy was like a drop in the ocean, instantly swallowed up by the invisible gravitational singularity! Its body was uncontrollably pulled towards Pei Du's open palm! The dark blue energy shield, already covered in cracks, groaned under the weight of the terrifying gravity, and the cracks rapidly expanded!
"Purification - Spear of Judgment!" Xu Shuangyao seized this perfect opportunity! She thrust her hands upward, the golden flame imprint between her brows radiating a dazzling light! As if summoned, the vast earth's life force converged frantically between her raised palms! Instantly, a spear of pure, highly compressed energy, flowing with a tangible golden liquid flame, condensed into shape! The spear was crystal clear, as if countless miniature stars were surging within it. The tip of the spear emanated an absolute will to pierce through all illusions and purify all filth!
Her clear eyes reflected the hunter who was forcibly bound by the gravitational singularity and whose energy shield was on the verge of breaking. Without the slightest hesitation, like a Valkyrie wielding divine punishment, she hurled the golden Spear of Judgment in her hand fiercely!
call out--!!!
The golden spear tore through the air, emitting a sacred and majestic hum! Its speed was so fast it surpassed all imagination! Wherever the spear tip passed, a lingering golden streak of light lingered in the air! Its target was the hunter's core chest and abdomen, exposed to the gravitational pull and the weakest part of the energy shield!
The Hunter's single crimson eye flashed furiously to its limit! Its icy logic core sounded the highest level of alarm! It desperately mobilized its remaining energy, attempting to move the nearly shattered energy shield on its left arm to its chest to block the attack. Simultaneously, the particle blade on its right arm, trapped in the thorn barrier, unleashed its final burst of strength, attempting to self-destruct the hilt and break free!
However, it was too late!
The Spear of Judgment ignored the crumbling energy shield and easily penetrated the last remaining blue energy field on the shield's surface like a hot knife cutting butter!
Puff——!!!
A dull and teeth-grinding piercing sound was heard!
The Spear of Judgment, composed purely of life and purified energy, fiercely penetrated the Hunter's dark silver metal chest! The spear tip pierced with incredible precision a core device beneath its breastplate, gleaming with the most intense energy fluctuations!
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
The hunter's forward charge suddenly froze. Its particle blade arm, raised high in an attempt to self-destruct and break free, drooped helplessly. In the wound on the faceted side of its head, torn by Pei Du, chaotic sparks flickered frantically like dying fireflies for a few moments before finally extinguishing completely. The crimson eye, flickering wildly, flickered like a candle in the wind, then dimmed... Finally, it gave way to a dead, silent darkness.
The massive body, clad in dark silver metal, stood frozen in place, motionless, like a puppet drained of all its energy. Only the golden spear of judgment, piercing its chest, still radiated a pure and majestic light, slowly drawing and purifying the remaining cold energy within it.
it's over?
Pei Du slowly lowered his right hand, releasing the gravitational singularity. His face, covered in dark gold lines, paled slightly, and his molten gold eyes held a look of scrutiny. Xu Shuangyao also panted slightly. The immense effort required to maintain the Spear of Judgment had dimmed the golden flame mark between her brows.
The two men approached the frozen Stalker. The cold, lifeless metal husk emanated gunpowder smoke and the charred smell of overloaded energy. No blood flowed from the wound inflicted by the Spear of Judgment, only strands of dark red energy escaped like dying serpents, then were annihilated by the purifying light emanating from the spear.
Pei Du's molten gold eyes swept across the gash in the Stalker's head, penetrating the exposed complex mechanical structure before finally settling on the crimson core processor, now completely dull and riddled with tiny cracks. The cold metal, its precision, perfectly embodied the Cradle's aesthetic of slaughter, which dispensed with all excess. A faint wisp of the power of the End lingered on his dark gold-patterned fingertips. Like the most delicate probe, he cautiously probed the damaged processor core. Perhaps he could extract some fragmentary information about the Cradle's location or plans...
