But clearly, their speed was no longer enough, and Yuan Zheng's team gave Abomination one last chance to break through.
A crimson light enveloped the monster before him, and Jiang Yuan's Heavenly Eye detected it.
Abomination: An undead being, a life form composed of countless corpses and souls, tier 8 with three elements, physical strength: 256, spiritual energy: unknown (a bonus of the undead), soul energy: unknown (a bonus of the undead), talents: devour, disintegrate.
Devour: An advanced talent. The power of devouring is affected by attributes and will also change. This is the strongest advanced talent from the top of the food chain, without exception.
Disintegration: Exclusive talent, an intermediate talent comprehended by Hatred. When disintegrating at the eighth rank, it increases the power value by 500 for a period of time.
After reading the information from the Heavenly Eye, Jiang Yuan was extremely surprised. This was the first time he had encountered the so-called strongest advanced talent. He had seen many advanced talents, but he had never seen one that dared to claim to be the best in the world.
Although he didn't know what level of talent existed above advanced talent, there was no doubt that the Devouring talent was indeed at the top of the food chain.
There is another talent—Disintegration, which is obviously not so simple. At the eighth level, it can provide an additional 500 power energy, a number that surpasses that of a ninth-level monster without any talent.
“The Abomination has broken through to the eighth rank!” Jiang Yuan dared not make a hasty conclusion. He said directly, “It has a Devouring talent. The effect is unknown, but it is very strong. We must be careful!”
Regarding the unknown psionic and soul energy that followed, he had some guesses in his mind. It must be caused by the fused corpses and souls on his body.
“Pure strength types are much easier to deal with by those with psionic abilities. Bai, can you handle it?” Leng Yue turned her gaze to Ning Yanlan.
The three of them concealed their identities. Using their names would obviously expose them, so Ning Yanlan also used a code name, a code name that was exclusive to her oath.
The Mandarava flower, a white spider lily, represents the pure flower of death in heaven.
Leng Yue didn't change his code name either. The joke he made casually on the south city wall before has continued to this day: Manjusaka, the red spider lily, representing the fallen flower of death in hell.
Although they have different meanings, they both ultimately point to death.
"It's difficult. At most, I can only restrain her!" Ning Yanlan is currently relying entirely on the divine power that Jiang Yuan saved. Her body cannot achieve a continuous cycle of life, so her combat endurance has greatly decreased. It can be said that she is useless after using a high-energy-consuming skill once.
"That's enough!" Jiang Yuan released the Heavenly Soul Child and drew the God-Slaying Spear to meet the enemy.
He wasn't acting on his own initiative; it's just that the three of them have different fighting styles. Ning Yanlan is a psionic type, and due to her own circumstances, it's impossible for her to face an enemy head-on. Leng Yue's cultivation technique, Wind and Thunder Light Record, is entirely focused on speed, and her skills also lean towards assassination abilities, so a head-on fight would actually allow her to play to her weaknesses and avoid her strengths.
As for himself, to be honest, although his divine power hadn't fully recovered, remaining at only three or five points, he was still qualified to engage in close combat with the Abomination, whether it was the fifth-tier Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique or the ancient martial arts power that had unlocked two shackles. Moreover, he possessed a powerful weapon like the Heavenly Soul Child.
"Apostle, be careful!" Ning Yanlan said.
The three of them had discussed it beforehand. Since they were going to hide their identities, it would be best to pretend that they didn't know each other and that their relationship was just that of teammates. They couldn't even reveal the intimate actions between Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan.
"I want to see just how powerful this talent is, even the Heavenly Eye has to give it such a high rating!" Jiang Yuan charged forward. He didn't have enough divine energy to activate any of his talents and skills, but he could still control the suppression of his divine attributes.
An invisible pressure appeared around the Abomination, which was enraged as it had just broken through to the eighth rank but whose breakthrough ritual was not yet over.
"Woo-woo!" the abomination growled, its face, composed of countless fragments of corpses, contorted with rage.
To undead creatures, interrupting their rituals is the greatest insult, an unforgivable sin.
"How disgusting!" Jiang Yuan stopped three meters away from the Abomination, and at this moment he could see the details of every corner of the Abomination's body.
It has to be said that the abomination before him was the most disgusting monster Jiang Yuan had seen in his more than ten days of work, without exception.
If monsters are the masterpiece of the Creator, then this abomination is the devil's mischief.
The Abomination wasn't particularly tall; at least among the enormous monsters, it was short. To put it more vividly, it was a huge fat man over three meters tall, but this fat man exceeded the limits of human imagination.
The belly, bulging like a hot air balloon, was entirely composed of various corpse fragments, including stitches of human and monster skin. The crude stitching caused the corpse fragments to ooze extremely gruesome pus and dark blood. The limbs, though intact, were completely different things; one could imagine that these were spoils of war collected by the abomination, only to become part of it after the other party's death.
"You are strong, your body is stained with the blood of the strong!" The eyes of the abomination gradually turned mad, and it laughed wildly, "But you will still die by my hand! Moreover, I will merge you into my body and replace the rotten flesh of the weak!"
"Are you human or a monster?" Jiang Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong, because the Abomination in front of him was clearly not an alien race, but it was not quite accurate to say that it was a monster. Many monsters do not speak such fluent Mandarin in the early stages, and communicate more through thought.
"Once you become one with me, you will know whether I am a human or a monster!" Abomination strode forward, each step like a massive hammer, shaking the earth.
With a strength of 256, this number is enough to crush most people.
"Let's beat my Heavenly Soul Child first!" Jiang Yuan refused to back down. The Heavenly Soul Child possessed 102 soul energy, but due to its material properties, it could withstand an attack of at least 204 physical energy. Meanwhile, the Abomination had just broken through to the eighth rank and only had 256 physical energy. If he waited for the Abomination to stabilize at the eighth rank for a while, Jiang Yuan would definitely leave without looking back. But now he had to take a gamble.
The Heavenly Soul Child had already been filled with Holy Spirit Crystals and, under Jiang Yuan's control, directly engaged in close combat with the Abomination. Although he himself had thought about fighting the Abomination, he didn't have the courage when he thought of the Abomination's disgusting appearance.
After all, punching someone into a hand full of rotting flesh would be unbearable for any normal person. Jiang Yuan was very frustrated, wondering where this disgusting creature came from to do such a heinous thing.
"You mere soul energy puppet, I'll take you down in three moves!" The Abomination was arrogant, and directly threw a punch at the Heavenly Soul Child.
Perhaps calling it a fist isn't accurate. The Abomination's left hand is a mechanical arm, and it's unclear what kind of alloy it's made of. It showed no damage whatsoever under 200 units of force, and its hardness and toughness are no weaker than ordinary titanium alloys, demonstrating the superior quality of its material.
As for the right arm, it looked more like the arm of a sacred beast, with the markings on it exactly the same as those on any sacred beast Jiang Yuan had ever seen.
"What a freak! You've managed to utilize technology, holy beasts, and even the undead!" Jiang Yuan's mindset was no less relaxed than when he encountered the Gray-Faced Vulture last time.
