"Impossible!" The shock of the words 'Hive Leader' and the fact that all their companions had perished caused even the six peak Momentum Level warriors present, who were usually as steadfast as rock, to experience a moment of turmoil beyond their battle instincts.
Although they instinctively wanted to refute this notion, the strange tone of the opponent and the inexplicable atmosphere that sent shivers down their spines seemed to tell them that he was not wrong at all!
An Elite team led by the group leader! And that rising force, which even the organization was reluctant to confront head-on—the Hive Security Company!
Each piece of information was shocking, especially when combined.
Just as their hearts began to waver from this intense impact, seven jade artifacts were thrown into the air, accompanied by a light chant that stirred their hearts. The seven jade pendants seemed to radiate a brilliant light from within!
Then, standing in front of Liang Wuxuan, Yang Xiaoyou naturally raised her right hand, and in an instant, it felt as if the entire world was left with only that hand!
At the moment she raised it, the seven jade pendants that had been thrown into the air and were just passing over her head suddenly seemed to be nailed to the void like Soft Nails, as if they were intrinsically linked to that empty space! They appeared to be bound by some invisible force.
Immediately, centered around them, an invisible wave spread outwards. Wherever the wave passed, it seemed as if the entire world underwent a cataclysmic transformation! Everything began to twist! It swept through everyone present without pause, expanding endlessly until it reached the ends of the world!
The location of the Abandoned Farm transformed into a yellow-brown desert, and what was once night turned into dusk. The entire desert was littered with various broken weapons; both Cold Weapons and Firearms were present in abundance, exuding an ancient aura that penetrated through time itself!
The members of the Dark Organization even discovered that their original weapons had mysteriously vanished, becoming part of this graveyard of arms.
"What! What is this? Is it a hallucinogen or radiation? This is impossible!" Although they vaguely sensed a wave of power, no one dared to entertain terrifying speculations in their hearts.
Any warrior who reached Momentum Level could fundamentally understand that there could be no gods or ghosts in this world. Even Taoist masters and Buddhist monks recognized that once they reached such realms, whether deities existed became irrelevant; they had long seen through the essence of things.
But what was happening now?
If it was a powerful force inducing hallucinations, how could it be so vivid and immersive?
Not only them; even Liang Wuxuan, who had initiated this phenomenon, wore a look of bewilderment. Although she knew that this Foodie was quite capable and might pull off something grand, she never expected such 'magic' to occur.
"This phenomenon cannot exist in this world! What we are experiencing must be an illusion! Do not be deceived by his tricks!" The peak Momentum Level warriors ultimately remained resolute. After a brief moment of distraction, they steadied themselves once more.
The words of the Blade-Browed Man managed to control the emotions of the others as well.
“It’s merely a matter of leveraging momentum. Together, we Twenty-Six can surely break through it. Although our weapons seem to have vanished, they must still be in our hands. At most, we’ve been deceived and cut off from our senses!” The Curly-haired Vice Leader, who was slightly stronger, added with a gleam in his eyes.
He then closed his eyes and made a motion as if drawing a weapon, concentrating all his energy on the trigger, seemingly trying to sense it once again!
He saw it! He had already seen it!
However, when he fully immersed himself in the feeling and began to pull the trigger, he found that there was still no change whatsoever!
It felt completely like exerting force into empty space.
“Impossible!” The denial of his own hypothesis caused the previously stable mindset of the curly-haired middle-aged man to falter.
“Not bad, not bad. I didn’t expect you to react so quickly. It seems that without the help of the Demoness, relying solely on the half-switch between dreams and reality truly cannot deal with you.” Although the performance on that side seemed ugly, Yang Xiaoyou still spoke in an appreciative tone.
Regardless of anything else, their performance could be deemed perfect; there was no hesitation as they went straight to the essence. It was just unfortunate that they encountered him.
“With my initial stamina consumption, relying on sheer strength to take you down would likely be beyond my capabilities. When I first drew your attention, that was your only chance.” Yang Xiaoyou seemed in no hurry to do anything, still speaking in a calm tone.
“Well, I’m almost done sketching out my plan. Although you seem to want to use the impact of numbers to break through the Spiritual Space, it appears I am still one step ahead.” After a moment of stalemate between both sides, a smile suddenly appeared on Yang Xiaoyou's face.
He did not possess the substantial resources that another version of himself had to freely ‘explain’ while confronting such powerful opponents.
Though he was quite familiar with the Virtual Docking System due to his research involvement, using it for actual combat for the first time against six Momentum Level strong opponents was certainly not without pressure. He needed ample time to refine and optimize his virtual space mediated by his own mental strength.
He had to fully unleash the effects of those seven painstakingly gathered jade artifacts.
Just as Yang Xiaoyou finished speaking, the Twenty-Six on the opposite side simultaneously unleashed their strongest momentum. The combined force of many intertwined and entangled together, as six individuals displayed an aura akin to thousands of troops ready for battle.
The entire world seemed to tremble and shake, but unfortunately, it was only a mere vibration and sway.
As they erupted, Yang Xiaoyou casually waved his hand, and in the midst of the desert, those broken weapons embedded in the ground, exuding an aura of eternal antiquity, instantly rejuvenated.
From their original decay, an astonishing sharpness emanated. The rust fell away, and the gaps were filled. Once fully restored, there was a sound of 'Yin!' as they surged upward in a continuous stream. In the air, they spiraled around, appearing from a distance like a cloud entirely composed of weapons.
"In this space, my will is supreme! Die!" He raised his hand to confront the swirling cloud above. Yang Xiaoyou then swung towards Twenty-Six.
The cloud hovering in the air spiraled for a moment before transforming into a torrent that surged towards Twenty-Six like a blanket covering the ground.
In this pure exchange of spirit, the forces formed by Twenty-Six intertwined to create a terrifying Red-Black Aura, attempting to resist.
Yet against that terrifying torrent, they were like a leaf in a storm; it lasted only an instant before being completely shattered. Blades sliced through them as if peeling an onion, slowly reducing them piece by piece.
Strangely enough, this scene that should have been extremely bloody did not spill a drop of blood. With each wound that appeared, there seemed to be a flickering of data at the site of injury. Although their expressions revealed their pain, the wounds flickered briefly before healing rapidly.
However, as these blades penetrated them, their once solid bodies became increasingly transparent. Accompanied by continuous piercing screams, five of them exploded into countless specks of light one after another.
Only the Curly-Haired Man remained. Just as he was about to vanish, he shouted with a voice full of grievance, "Such a huge loss! The organization will never let this go! You Hive Security Company will be uprooted! You will! Ah! I won't accept this! I refuse to accept it!!!"
With his final sharp cry, the curly-haired man ultimately burst into countless specks of light and dissipated.
As the last man disappeared, the entire desert-like space began to tremble violently. Fragments fell from above like shards of glass, revealing what lay behind—the Abandoned Farm.
Finally, with a clatter, everything dissolved and returned to reality.
In the instant the space vanished, one could hear the sound of bodies hitting the ground. The six members who had originally dissipated quietly collapsed in place, their eyes dim and dazed.
Their life force gradually faded away.
Meanwhile, from directly above Yang Xiaoyou, some jade dust drifted down. The seven jade pendants had completely vanished without a trace.
The surviving tour guide still wore a shocked expression, struggling to comprehend the situation after witnessing six people suddenly collapse.
In her eyes, what had just happened felt like an instantaneous change. Clearly, both sides were mumbling about something unknown, provoking the kidnappers' anger, and then she felt the body of Twenty-Six tremble for a moment before collapsing to the ground.
"Hey? Strange, I feel a bit odd; it seems my mind has cleared up quite a bit," came the slightly puzzled voice of Demoness.
"I didn't expect this either. Their 'souls' completely dissipated into my Spiritual Space. I didn't anticipate being able to passively absorb their momentum and Grievance. After compensating for my Consumption, those six indeed brought me a noticeable enhancement. As the connecting hub, you naturally benefit as well." Yang Xiaoyou squinted his eyes and felt a sense of astonishment.
However, he soon added, "But ultimately, it's not mine. A little bit can indeed enhance me, but before fully digesting it into my own, I shouldn't overdo it. Compared to my slow personal growth, this is indeed much faster."
Even Yang Xiaoyou himself hadn't expected such an additional benefit. However, this time it involved six Momentum Level strong individuals; feeling a significant boost was only natural. If they were any stronger, it might not just be about enhancement but rather being directly used by them to break through his mental constraints.
It was precisely because he had completely drawn their spirits into his mental world through Demoness's connection that they couldn't wield any weapons or Flesh powers. It was purely a contest of momentum against momentum, spirit against spirit—a brutal survival of the fittest.
Although Momentum Level strong individuals possessed considerable mental strength, compared to himself—who had undergone mutation and learned systematically alongside Dream Butterfly—there remained a significant gap; they could only rely on brute force to contend with him.
Overall, Yang Xiaoyou's usual combat style resembled an illusionary reflection in water. If one were to compare virtual connections, it might be somewhat akin to Tsukuyomi; that's roughly how it was.
