Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 264 The Universe in My Eyes
Cheeks, wrists, back…everywhere on his body, all the psionic circuits were shimmering with a faint light, and his open eyes emitted a soft beam of light, his pure white eyes unlike anything human. The psionic warrior, shrouded in the soft light, looked solemn and sacred, like a statue of a god.

An invisible psychic energy was sensing everything around, but the unknown thing seemed to have escaped, leaving no trace whatsoever.

But Duwu didn't believe that the thing had just gotten away, and it remained highly vigilant.

In this world teeming with dark psychic energy, psychic power was severely limited, only able to perceive a very small area nearby. He felt that the thing couldn't have been hiding forever; it must be lurking somewhere unknown, waiting for an opportunity.

Wait, since the other party is looking for an opportunity, then...

The psionic warriors exchanged glances. Duwu frowned, seemingly disappointed. Then, they slowly withdrew their psionic energy back into their bodies, as if they had finally given up the search.

Within the cracks of time and space, countless eyes revealed greed, and suddenly, a faint power surged forth, rushing towards Du Wu's back!
"Bang!!!"

But as if he had eyes in the back of his head, the psionic circuits behind Du Wu suddenly lit up, and dozens of thick psionic arms bulged out from his bare back. The large hands that grew from his back suddenly stretched out, grabbing his head, grabbing his hands and feet, or locking his body.

It was a colossal monster, tens of meters tall, but the numerous psionic arms that grew from Duwu's back were no less impressive.

Dozens of large hands gripped the enormous, transparent creature tightly. No matter how much the giant monster, covered in eyes, struggled, it could not break free from the grasp of these many large hands.

"Hooooo..."

The strange monster, resembling a wolf with a long, snake-like tail, struggled fiercely, emitting bizarre psionic roars. Strangely, it seemed to emit psionic vibrations with every breath, as if it were its very instinct.

[This is strange; I've never seen any information about it before.]

A psionic warrior shook his head.

[Dark Spirit Energy; its body is composed of dark spirit energy.]

Another psionic warrior added.

During their long training, psionic warriors not only learn to fight, but they are also excellent scholars. In the field of psionics, these psionic warriors are at the forefront.

Psionicists have long speculated about dark psionic energy, a strange power similar to psychic energy, but few would have imagined that dark psionic energy could actually form a life form.

Was it produced under these special circumstances?

Someone asked.

But no one could answer him; no one knew the answer.

Just then, the strange monster that had been struggling suddenly let out a whimper and then dissipated into its most primal dark spirit power. Du Wu frowned; he didn't try to kill the monster in front of him, it was as if it had disintegrated on its own.

【what happened? 】

I don't know, but I think we're in trouble.

A psionic warrior stared into space, and the others followed his gaze. Through their prosthetic eyes, they could vaguely see dark psionic energy slowly gathering at a point marked 326 million kilometers away, before forming a blurry biological shape.

Is this the reason that monster was born?

There was no time to lose. The four psionic warriors vanished instantly. Meanwhile, 326 million kilometers away, the newly born bizarre creatures raised their heads, as if sniffing something, before leaping away and disappearing as well…

……

In the vast expanse of space, a colossal serpent slithers forward, while tiny specks of dust chase and battle beside it.

"Roar!!!"

The enormous monster lunged forward, and Duwu raised his sword to meet it. The weapon, specially made for psionic warriors, instantly generated a long sword aura, splitting the massive monster in two.

Subsequently, the monsters born from the dark energy dissipated and returned to the dark energy.

The bodies of psionic warriors are not made of special materials; they can be injured and die. Those enormous monsters can easily tear apart the bodies of psionic warriors, just like the psionic warrior who was caught off guard and killed in the early stages.

But with these precautions in place, centuries of training and combat have given psionic warriors the ability to fight with ease.

A single dark psionic monster is not enough to threaten a psionic warrior, but there are simply too many of them.

Like wild beasts that have caught the scent of blood, a steady stream of dark spirit creatures are arriving, attempting to devour them. Kill one, and ten more appear; kill ten, and a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand more appear…

These dark spirit creatures, like this strange environment, seem to have their own set of survival rules.

In this world of dark spiritual energy, they are born by chance and dissipate and disintegrate by chance. Even if they are not killed, their enormous bodies, which they have painstakingly created, may dissipate again in the next moment.

Du Wu witnessed firsthand how, in the distance, a massive amount of dark spiritual energy converged, gradually outlining the vague rudimentary form of a planet-level creature, like the embryo of some wondrous being, about to be born. The planet-level creature slowly opened its eyes, its pupils gleaming with an eerie light, quiet and profound, as if possessing extremely high intelligence. But in the next instant, its body disintegrated and vanished.

In this world of dark energy, these incredible beings are like dreams and illusions, born and dying as fate dictates.

The psionic warriors fought their way back, barely managing to hold out for a while, until they could vaguely make out the location of heads. However, that seemingly close location was likely tens of millions of kilometers away.

At the current rate, it's likely that even if all four of them die here, they still won't reach their target location.

【Long-distance teleportation!】Duwu quickly made up his mind.

The consequences of long-distance teleportation under such strange conditions are unpredictable. It may succeed, or it may fail. Anything can happen, which is why the psionic warriors were unwilling to do it before, but now is not the time to hesitate.

The next instant, the four psionic warriors vanished from their spot, while the numerous strange lifeforms growled and crossed the barriers of space and time to give chase. But then, these bizarre dark psionic lifeforms fled back in panic.

"Woooooooo..."

In the blink of an eye, most of the strange creatures had vanished. Those that managed to escape were mostly mutilated, whimpering, their eyes filled with terror as they stared into the void…

When the four psionic warriors re-entered the material world, they were immediately met with intense heat.

It's hot, nothing but hot.

It was as if I had suddenly entered a sea of ​​fire, naked and being scorched by the flames. I felt a sharp pain all over my body, and then I lost all feeling...

"no no!!!"

Doo heard the agonizing screams of his comrades echoing in his ears, as an invisible heat destroyed the psionic warrior's body, causing it to rapidly disintegrate.

His genetically modified body, powerful psychic energy, combat instincts honed over centuries, and psychic circuits throughout his body... nothing could save him. This intense heat was like being directly inside a star.

Is this my final destination?

Even as he realized he was about to die, Duwu felt an unusual calm.

It's a bit of a shame, I don't even know where I was teleported to.

But just then...

【Duwu! Open your eyes and move forward quickly!】

Suddenly, the intense heat around him disappeared, and an invisible, powerful force surrounded him. A hurried voice echoed in his mind.

Is this... a teacher?

He opened his eyes in surprise, and what appeared before him was endless white light, as well as invisible spiritual energy surrounding him.

Endless radiance crashed into himself and his companions. In the blink of an eye, one of his companions was shattered into the most basic particles. Only Duwu and two other companions were protected by psionic energy.

Duwu could even see those strange life forms that were breaking through the air. As soon as those greedy, transparent life forms poked their heads out, their exposed bodies were washed away into dust in the white light. Some of the more eager life forms were directly exposed to the white light, so much so that their bodies disappeared into the white light in an instant.

Those strange, greedy, and fearless beings were now terrified and frantically tried to break through the air to return. Some managed to escape by chance, while others disappeared before they could escape.

In this star-like environment, no life could survive, but the invisible psychic energy around him protected him. That powerful psychic energy was like a vast ocean, shielding him from the endless onslaught of external light.

[Quick! We can't hold out much longer either!]

The urgent voice that echoed in his mind confirmed to Du Wu that it was indeed his teacher.

Ignoring everything else, Du Wu looked down...

There is an eye there.

What do eyes look like?

The crystals are perfectly round, clear and bright, and as calm as a lake.

But what lies before Duwu is not a calm lake, but a deep black hole.

Unimaginably vast, larger than a planet, larger than a star, smooth as if stretching to the very end of the universe, an incomprehensiblely enormous plane reflecting the entire universe—the pitch-black space, the scattered stars—as if another universe lay beneath this giant eye.

At the heart of all this is that enormous, dark, and deep black hole.

The entire universe seemed to be reflected on this plane, but at the center of this "universe," occupying nearly half the area, was a gigantic "black hole." That enormous pupil slowly rotated, with the entire "universe" reflected beside it, like an unfathomable abyss dragging the entire universe into it.

At this moment, Duwu and his companions are standing in front of this eye.

Endless light poured out from that enormous pupil; it was the massive amount of light that was currently washing over Duwu and his companions, and this light was the "gaze" projected by that eye.

Under such a "vision," even a star would have its outer shell constantly stripped away, eventually leading to its death.

He was looking at it.
It was watching him too.

Duwu was certain that the eye had seen him and everything that had happened, including the psionic energy around him and the strange life forms fleeing in panic.

But it just watched, did nothing, changed nothing, remained calm and indifferent.

I have finally reached my goal.
