The black and gold mana had no effect; the Mier metal, which remained intact even in the face of a planetary explosion, and the blood-red streaming light showed no reaction.
This was a radiance aimed solely at flesh and blood, each beam of light brushing across the human flesh, scorching through her body.
Li Qianxia withdrew her mana and collided with the "Evaporator," which continuously injected Blood Pearls into her body.
Flesh vanished and then regrew, pain painting a trace of ghastly pallor upon Li Qianxia's delicate face.
The Turquoise Pool descended like a wisp of purple smoke next to Li Qianxia, who was hastening on her way with "Instantaneous," and she raised the torch in her hand.
The black hands did not stop; reaching out, they grabbed several edges at the same time, tugged forcefully, and several spaces crashed down like glass, forming a smooth mirror.
Empowered by the replenished mana from the blood-colored light, Li Changzhou cut through waves and swiftly closed in on Yang Qinglan.
Li Qianxia fed Si a Blood Pearl and, carrying her on her back, left, while the Turquoise Pool raised her hand to smash the hundreds of flesh cannons evolving in the distance.
She felt a vague unease in her heart; before the cannons fired, any Immortal could handle them with ease. But what if they released their salvos, not just a few, not just tens, but thousands upon thousands of them firing simultaneously? Could they withstand that?
She had less than 1000 points of strength left. Li Changzhou's black hands seemed invincible, but they had their limits too.
Li Qianxia possessed the "Chaos Series - Flame Butterfly"; how long could she endure against the stream of flesh and blood?
Although she didn't know the situation on Yang Qinglan's side, the Turquoise Pool could guess based on her own, probably not holding up much better.
The most terrifying aspect of these flesh attacks wasn't strength but the variety of peculiar abilities, capable even of editing abilities to counter different enemies.
"Changzhou," the Turquoise Pool spoke up, "if we really can't manage, find Qing Lan, and then we leave!"
[Don't worry, I've reserved enough mana to escape this planet.]
There was also the "Honeypot World," but the Ancient God, a Space Life Form, could invade the Honeypot World, so it wasn't certain that a Saint's creation like the "Flesh Space River" would not be able to.
"We can't leave," Si dismounted from behind Li Qianxia and stood on Li Changzhou's OKIS, "once we do, we'll be considered deserters and be hunted by the entire Divine Will Great Wall."
"We're not from the Divine Will Great Wall," Li Qianxia said.
"Once you enter the Great Wall and land on the fortress stars, if you're not from the Divine Will Great Wall, you're under the Saints of flesh. There's no choice."
"Why come to such a dangerous place? Conscripted?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.
"People who come here are either criminals or, like me, people who would die if they didn't come."
The Turquoise Pool didn't care about these matters; she asked, "The blood-colored light just now, what level would it be in the attack patterns of flesh, how much energy does it take to release once, and is there a cooldown period?"
"There's no such thing as a level," Si answered flatly, "and no cooldown time. The Flesh Editing Technique is a power on par with the Divine Will Technique; all attack modes can be mass-produced with flesh, and all life can be dissolved into flesh as raw materials."
"So what you're saying is," the Turquoise Pool wanted to confirm, "unless we eradicate all life on this planet, the flesh attacks won't stop, and the 'Flesh Space River' won't dry up?"
"This planet has long been devoid of life; we just need to eradicate all the flesh," Si responded.
Eradicate all the flesh... The Turquoise Pool could ignite the embers once more, adding to Li Qianxia's four times, totaling five chances. Plus Li Changzhou, how many of the 'Flesh Space Rivers' could they eradicate?
And if the Turquoise Pool exhausted her strength in advance, how would she fend off the other attacks of flesh?
As Li Changzhou and the Turquoise Pool became absorbed in thought, weighed down by their mood, Li Qianxia's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly, "Be careful!"
The "Metronome" was as chaotic as the honking of cars in a traffic jam, making one's head nearly burst.
The black hand tore open an edge, revealing the space on the other side. With a rush, the deluge of blood-colored light that had accumulated like a river surged forth, striking directly towards the four of them.
At the same time, Li Changzhou, who had been staring at the retinal display device, saw Yang Qinglan's information shine like a dying red giant star.
