The Holy Father could no longer afford to kill the Yama Tree. Instead, his eyes suddenly brightened, and two streams of bloody aura sprayed out, splattering around the shadow that had attacked him.
This figure was too fast, so fast that the Holy Father could not dodge while in a state of attack, so he chose another method.
Counterattack.
The means that the Holy Father employed now consumed his energy, which was life for him. He did not wish to act this way unless absolutely necessary. However, the current situation left him no choice.
Otherwise, the Holy Father truly felt that he would die here.
He had calculated everything but did not expect that these forces from another world would be so troublesome. Initially, he thought only those glowing weapons were worthy of his attention.
"Red Spray!"
This was a signature technique of the Holy Father from his youth, but now there was no one left to remember it; those who had witnessed it were either killed by him or had died of old age.
But this did not mean that the power of this combat skill had weakened. On the contrary, when his life was threatened, even with his significantly reduced strength, the Holy Father unleashed the Red Spray to a level higher than when he was young.
The red blood aura collided with the shadow that resembled thunder, and at the same time, the first body of the Yama Tree fell from the air, crashing to the ground, causing several clear and long cracks to appear on the Crystal Tree!
Some individuals from the Cloud Summit Laboratory rushed over from one side, lifting the Yama Tree and beginning to retreat into the safer city. Now, the eighth-level life form had lost almost all combat capability.
Facing the ninth-level Holy Father, Cloud Summit had played several cards in succession, but both Dr. He and the Yama Tree ended up either dead or injured, returning empty-handed.
On that side, the blood aura suddenly contracted, then seemed to be subjected to some pressure and exploded with a bang.
The shadow within the blood aura stopped, floating before the Holy Father.
Yes, it floated.
Just like the Holy Father.
This action made the Holy Father's pupils constrict slightly.
This was a capability only a ninth-level expert could possess.
"Who are you?"
This was the first time the Holy Father actively asked, and although he had been injured earlier, it was clear to anyone that he had become serious, even heavy-hearted.
He had no choice but to take it seriously; the figure before him was terrifying.
Its clothes were tattered, revealing dry, cracked skin underneath. How could a normal human possibly lack any moisture?
Perhaps due to the earlier Red Spray, this skin was also incomplete, often missing patches that revealed a black substance, wrapping around the bones inside. This made the entire being resemble a kind of mysterious, monstrous creature with dark spots.
Most terrifying were its eyes, which were originally pitch black, resembling coal—glossless, devoid of spirit, yet concealing an unmistakable killing intent.
Such a corpse-like existence, however, exerted immense pressure on the Holy Father.
"No, you're not ninth-level!"
The Holy Father observed for a few seconds and suddenly said again; he originally thought this person was a ninth-level expert summoned by Earth. If that were the case, he would have to be extremely cautious.
Given the Holy Father's current condition, encountering an opponent of the same level would likely result in failure.
However, as he calmed down and observed, he found that although this opponent could float in the air, he did not have the presence of a being of the same level.
What puzzled the Holy Father was that this person had no energy fluctuations whatsoever.
This was almost impossible.
A ninth-level expert's understanding of life, energy, and space was something other levels could not possess. The Holy Father knew what the dynamics of this space were.
A being, whether animal or plant, would have its own 'frequency'.
But the person before him did not have one.
Under normal circumstances, only one type of substance would have no energy fluctuations: true lifeless matter.
