Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Chapter 234: Tan Ming Appears, Faith Sustained!

Before the words had even settled, Tan Ming raised his hand across the void and gently pointed with his fingertip.

Cheng Ye hadn’t even reacted before the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse was seized from the Spiritual Body Space by an invisible force and suspended in mid-air.

The poor giant louse hadn’t figured out what had happened, its round body trembling slightly in the blood-red glow, its previously golden compound eyes now showing a hint of terror.

Suddenly, the air trembled, and a blood-red rune formed in Tan Ming’s palm, with countless fine lines wriggling like living creatures as it flowed.

Bang!

The rune struck directly on the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse, without a loud explosion, instead penetrating into the louse’s body like water being absorbed into a sponge.

The next second, faint red lines began to entwine the louse’s exoskeleton, resembling the scene when merging skills with the Green Treasure Worm, but even more eerie.

The originally pure golden body gradually took on a layer of blood-gold sheen, retaining a vibrant warmth while gaining a blood-tinged sharpness, exuding an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Tan Ming then flicked his fingers, and the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse was sent back into the Spiritual Body Space.

Cheng Ye could clearly feel that the giant louse’s once robust body now bore an indescribable weariness, as though having expended a great deal of energy, yet its essence had undergone an inexplicable metamorphosis.

But before he could take it all in, Tan Ming’s actions continued as he pointed once more at the air.

The Spiritual Body Space shuddered again, Cheng Ye’s mind tensing up, the Flame that had severed its link was forcibly pulled out, suspended in the blood-red glow.

What creature is this?

What level is he?

Elder of Happiness City, and Tan Ming, who is stronger?

Can those Destruction Level infection sources in the Black Zone match Tan Ming’s current power?

Cheng Ye felt his mind shutting down, these methods truly surpassed his imagination.

“Act on my behalf… Reward!”

The baritone voice resounded once more, another blood-red rune took shape at Tan Ming’s fingertip, more intricate than before, with a faintly warm pulse.

The rune hit the Flame accurately, yet did not leave behind any blood-red lines as it had with modifying the giant louse.

Instead, the golden light above intensified, the flame feathers that had formed began to shed in the glow, as if reverting to their moment of birth.

But Cheng Ye sensed that this was not “regression,” but a kind of “reformation,” the Flame’s aura more refined than before, as if impurities had been removed, becoming purer.

Tan Ming flicked his fingers again, sending the Flame back into the Spiritual Body Space.

What specific changes the two continuous “rewards” brought, Cheng Ye had no mind to check for any panel notifications.

Because Tan Ming’s gaze had once again fallen upon him.

Their eyes connected across the air, Cheng Ye could even see his own small reflection in Tan Ming’s dark red, flaming eyes.

A pressure like a mountain pressed down upon him, making even breathing difficult.

However, this time, Tan Ming did not bestow another “reward,” his deep eyes reflecting contemplation, as if weighing something.

An intangible force began to entwine him, clearly intending to impose some sort of control.

Yet at that moment, a transcendent voice suddenly broke through the oppressive atmosphere of the cave:

“Tan Ming, that’s enough!”

Is it… Elder Qian?

The familiar voice made Cheng Ye tremble, the oppressive aura around him instantly vanished without a trace.

In the air, a mist slowly condensed, forming Elder Qian’s sturdy, slightly plump figure with a hint of prosperity.

Unlike Tan Ming’s dominating aura, his was more like a gentle firefly beneath a bright moon, calmly and steadfastly standing in front of Cheng Ye, blocking all potential threats from another dimension.

“Our people helped you discover the Immortal Object, and also helped you reform your Mind Body.”

“We only need the fragment of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch’s body, you can take all the accumulated energy, making another move would breach the rules.”

Elder Qian spoke continuously, but Tan Ming did not immediately respond.

The blood-red humanoid figure hovered in the air, the surrounding red glow pulsing slightly, as if in thought.

A moment later, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Tan Ming suddenly flicked his fingers, sending a blood-red energy directly at Elder Qian’s misty form.

Without a deafening boom, Elder Qian’s formed figure was instantly shattered, becoming countless tiny droplets of water, dispersing beyond reformation.

Immediately, a blood-red barrier expanded from Tan Ming, filling the entire cave, thoroughly isolating all attempts to penetrate with spiritual powers, leaving not even the slightest gap.

Simultaneously, two complex runes coalesced once more in Tan Ming’s palm.

The first was still the blood-red rune, surrounding it was a withering aura familiar to Cheng Ye.

Undoubtedly, it was the core rune for summoning the Blood Shadow Corps, extracting and converting vitality into energy.

But the second rune made Cheng Ye’s pupils constrict, a purely green rune, the aura of life it contained was several times richer than that emitted by the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch!

Just a glance and he felt enveloped in the illusion of a primal forest, as if he could see all things growing, vegetation flourishing, a profound feeling of positivity at the core of his being.

Tan Ming lightly flicked his fingers, the two runes didn’t merge into Cheng Ye as they had with modifying the giant louse, but floated before him.

Blood-red on the left, green on the right, distinctly separate.
