Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 542 - 497 Mutant Royal Species Army
Indeed, the bane of the Mutant Royal Species.
The Corpse Queen could no longer stand up; its body was smashed into dust by a massive Light Character Curse, the dust suspended in the air.
It seemed to still harbor mutant activity, which if gathered and fermented by resentment, the Corpse Queen could potentially be resurrected.
However, the Light Spells of the Lan Guang Temple incorporated purification and annihilation; the mutant activity, like mold, quickly perished when exposed to intense sunlight.
"Did we really defeat the Corpse Queen?" Fei Yi said, incredulously.
Guo Hong wiped the sweat off his face, yet his eyes fixated on the flesh dust of the Corpse Queen. In this world full of grotesque creatures, who knows when a breath laced with biochemical toxicity might drift by and send the Corpse Queen into a hidden berserk state.
Fortunately, after a long observation, the Corpse Queen did not reconstitute its body nor enter into any berserk state, confirming its death.
"It's truly dead. Under my Light Spell, no mutant species could survive in any other way because what we annihilated was the original mutant cells," Taiya said with absolute certainty.
Wu Hen walked towards where the Corpse Queen perished; he saw the burn marks from the giant Light Spells, reminiscent of an ancient, sacred scripture of the earth, crafted by a God with an artistic flair, imprinting his collection of calligraphy onto the mortal realm.
Within the exaggerated burn marks, Wu Hen discovered nine Scarlet Mutated Pearls, each larger than the Mutant Beads formed by the Steel Melting Corpse King through collapse, much like the Ascension Elixirs concocted by immortals of the wasteland.
Wu Hen didn't expect that the ultimate form of Mutant Condensed Liquid would be the Mutant Beads…
Before Wu Hen could thoroughly examine these Mutant Beads, they transformed into a wisp of red smoke and entered his body.
Wu Hen was not a mutant species, so his body naturally couldn't absorb these mutant energies. However, the Thunder Arm Guard and the Mist Battle Clothing automatically absorbed all the Mutant Beads from the Corpse Queen's body.
A distinctly vivid Thunder Wolf Spirit appeared suddenly; it was like a dark soul Knight, guarding behind Wu Hen, ready to unleash billions of volts towards the enemy with just one command from Wu Hen.
At the same time, the Mist Battle Clothing fully fused with the Electric Slaughter Battle Robe, absorbing the Resentment Energy within the Mutant Beads. The Mist Particles turned from azure to a striking Blood Radiance, transforming into a powerful energy weapon with just a thought, piercing through opponents and forming a solid Mist Shield to block strong attacks.
Wu Hen himself was surprised.
The Thunder Arm Guard had evolved to the Tenth Rank.
Besides, he had also acquired a Tenth Rank Mist Battle Clothing, which integrated battle clothing technology with mutated equipment. It could be taken back to the Douyi Star Palace for continuous technological upgrades, and evolve further by hunting mutant species on this land to obtain Mutant Condensed Liquid and Mutant Beads.
"With these two pieces of equipment, I am now at the peak of the biological hierarchy of this land," Wu Hen was very satisfied with his gains.
Of course, compared to his true power, these two pieces of equipment were still nothing significant. They were distant from truly reaching high-dimensional, but Wu Hen's trip was to find Mingyi, having now corrected his direction, he wouldn't be far from them.
"Our Invisible War Car has been destroyed; it's going to take several months to leave this place," Guo Hong said.
"No worries, we can just fly out now that Fei Yi has modified our Invisible War Car," Wu Hen responded.
"The Corpse Tide's vortex force has dissipated?" Guo Hong reacted with surprise.
"No, it hasn't disappeared, it's just that they are composed of resentment energy, and I can now control this resentment energy," Wu Hen explained.
"That's great, we can finally leave this godforsaken place," Fei Yi was extremely excited. Being dug out from the city ruins was not yet a narrow escape from death, only leaving the thousand-mile expanse of the Corpse Tide would truly be.
"The Corpse Queen is dead, yet this Corpse Tide doesn't seem to dissolve...sigh," Taiya sighed heavily.
In their past understanding, once the leader of a vast Corpse Country died, it would automatically perish. However, after observing for a long time, Taiya found that the Corpse Tide was still "surging."
"That's exactly why this is the most terrifying, with one Corpse Queen dead, many more will emerge," Wu Hen also knew that this Corpse Tide disaster wouldn't just crumble because of one Corpse Queen's death. There's a chance that with the disappearance of the Corpse Queen's aura, new queens and emperors are already being born somewhere within the Corpse Tide.
It's best to leave this place as quickly as possible.
…
Fei Yi modified the Invisible War Car, adding four metal wings made from some collected Mutated Metal…
Wu Hen controlled the resentment energy, propelling the War Car into the air.
As the group flew high above the Corpse Tide, looking down was utterly spine-chilling.
They had fought in this Corpse Tide for so long, but the feeling was that the tide hadn't decreased but instead had become denser.
In other words, over these days like a fierce typhoon passing through dozens of cities, all these cities had been swept up into this great Corpse Tide. No matter how creatively Wu Hen and his group tried to slash through the horde, they couldn't match the pace at which the Corpse Tide was swallowing them, after all, each city turned into Corpse People, with many sources within these cities containing absorbable and evolvable energies – biochemical energy, electrical energy, fuel energy, nuclear reactive_energy, smelting energy…
"Let's go, meet up with Dai Jing and her team, and next, watch her perform," Wu Hen averted his gaze.
This was now a moving Corpse Country, and they were powerless.
"In the future, when I take over the position of the temple lord at Lan Guang Temple, I will definitely transcend the entire Corpse Country!" Taiya made this significant resolution.
Wu Hen had not expected the simple-minded Taiya to harbor such grand ambitions. He instinctively reached out to pat her shoulder, offering encouragement to his teammate; but in the next second, Taiya uttered a string of words that left Wu Hen utterly speechless.
"Just thinking that such a massive source of concentrated fear is moving on the land where I reside makes me restless!" Taiya's gaze was resolutely determined; the best way to eliminate fear was to transcend it!
...
Not long after fleeing the Corpse Tide Zone, the entire Corpse Tide suddenly moved in a vertical direction.
Looking ahead, Wu Hen saw an ancient mountain range of ice and snow. The towering white peaks formed a series of magnificent white city walls. Turning to look back at the Corpse Ghost Group behind him, the phrase "winter is coming" with its epic connotation naturally came to Wu Hen's mind.
"This is a natural barrier; even a vast Corpse Tide will hardly cross these Snow Mountains," Guo Hong commented.
"So the people living on the other side of this Snow Mountain range are most likely the nobles of this alien Wasteland," Wu Hen quickly realized, "They can allow this side of the Snow Mountains to fall into decay, while they themselves still enjoy clean air, fresh food, and splendid palaces..."
Such a natural barrier indeed.
On this side of the barrier, privileged elites, warlord conglomerates, top corporations, Royal Palaces, gene groups, life research...
On the other side of the barrier, mercenaries, gold seekers, wandering groups, mutated species, biochemical beasts, decay, corruption, disease...
No need to explore further; Wu Hen could guess that this handful of people on this end of the Snow Mountain barrier were manipulating the fates of those on the other end.
...
Wu Hen and the others entered a wilderness fortress, a stronghold secretly controlled by Dai Jing and his group.
This wilderness fortress was an important outpost between the Snow Mountain wall and the Royal City. Those in power had not yet realized that a rebel army had taken control of their lifelines, ready to launch a bloody revolution against these glamorous top echelons at any time.

"See that Lan Guang Temple over there? I need to erect statues of us warriors there in the future," Dai Jing pointed at a temple on a distant snow mountain, sharing their vision with Wu Hen.
"Where's the lair of the Black Shirt Organization?" Wu Hen asked.
"That black Citadel is the palace of the Black Sky King. If we want to control the Royal and Lan Guang Temples, we must first shatter this black Citadel," Dai Jing said.
"What are we waiting for then, if you've already gathered everything you need?" Wu Hen said.
"I'm waiting for my troops," Dai Jing replied.
"Oh, I thought so, your Illusion Form Warriors couldn't possibly be just over a hundred men. With just this size, how could you possibly overturn the ruling class of this Wasteland?" Wu Hen felt somewhat relieved hearing Dai Jing's words.
Upon entering this wilderness fortress, Wu Hen saw that Dai Jing had gathered around a hundred Illusion Form Warriors. However, they faced countless Guards in those brilliant palaces, the Knight Order in the holy temple, and the Black Shirt Organization's patrolling army, not to mention the most formidable Black Angel Army...
Any one of these four forces comprised units of tens of thousands. With just their hundred or so men, even if shouting the enemy's name could kill them, they couldn't finish shouting them all even if buried.
"We Illusion Form Warriors are indeed just over a hundred strong," the mechanical youth spoke up then.
"Is there any other force?" Wu Hen asked.
The mechanical youth shook his head.
"Shh!" Dai Jing suddenly made a silencing gesture, then whispered softly, "Listen, is there a roaring sound above the Snow Mountains?"
Wu Hen had heard it earlier but hadn't paid much attention.
But after Dai Jing's reminder, Wu Hen pricked up his ears again to listen carefully to the long wall they had crossed earlier.
Roars surged everywhere!
Footsteps became denser and more trembling!
"BOOM!!!!!!"
Suddenly, dozens of towering snow mountains experienced avalanches. The pure white snow cascaded down from the clouds, forming a snow roar, causing the continuous Snow Mountain barrier to shake violently.
"My Emperor Seed Army has arrived," Dai Jing smiled brilliantly at this moment.
"Those Mutant Royal Species???" Wu Hen was shocked.
"Of course, didn't I tell you before? To confront the Black Angel Army, we can only rely on the Mutant Royal Species created by these people from this land. The karma they've created should be paid by them!" Dai Jing declared.
Wu Hen's eyes watched the majestic range of Snow Mountains behind them. He faintly saw figures amid the rolling snow flood moving towards them, many of which had exaggeratedly large wings; their biochemical wings covered the white clouds, like dark storm clouds rolling towards here!
