Chapter 684 The Moon That Ends
The surrounding environment has changed, but it hasn't. The reason for this is that the current environment is a scene that Lin Tian finds both familiar and strange.
The place felt familiar because it was the forbidden area where he and Merust had their first battle, but why did he feel confused and strange?
This is because, in Lin Tian's mind, he should be fighting Merust in that black pool right now. Why did he arrive here in the blink of an eye?
Lin Tian was somewhat confused. The last thing he saw was his desperate gamble being swallowed by the moon, followed by him falling into the water, suffocating, and losing consciousness.
But now the tide has receded, the moon has disappeared, and he has returned here, as if nothing had ever happened.
Somewhat unable to understand, Lin Tian simply looked up at Merust not far away. At this moment, he was still standing straight on the ground, looking exactly the same as before, as if nothing had changed.
However, just as Lin Tian was having some doubts, his system panel suddenly made a "ding" sound. Having done many tasks, Lin Tian quickly realized that he had completed a task.
Seemingly realizing something, he immediately wanted to check, but before he could check the mission, Merust, who was standing in the distance, made a sound first.
Glug~ Glug~
Accompanied by several strange noises, Merust, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly began to tremble all over. His body began to swell again, and in a short while, it inflated into a balloon.
"This is........"
Upon seeing this, Lin Tian's eyelids twitched, sensing that something was wrong. Therefore, even though he was extremely exhausted, he still forced himself to back away.
boom! ! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Sure enough, after Merust's body swelled to its limit, it exploded like fireworks with a loud bang, and a lot of mud flew out from the broken body, making the whole place look like it was raining mud.
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
Clumps of black mud fell to the ground, making a series of sounds. However, they did not reassemble as before. This time, they seemed to be truly dead, and it seemed that Merust would never be resurrected.
has it ended?
Watching this series of actions, Lin Tian was completely bewildered. Had he defeated Merust? How had he done it? What was the connection between that scene and this place?
Lin Tian didn't understand, but the fact was that he did win. What he didn't know was that his previous guesses were, if not all correct, about 80-90% accurate.
Merust's resurrection is indeed directly related to the moon, but the relationship is closer than Lin Tian imagined. It's not that the moon gave Merust the ability to resurrect, but that the moon itself is Merust.
To be precise, the moon is Merust's heart, and the area just now was Merust's body. When the battle officially began, Merust let out a howl, and Lin Tian was dragged into Merust's domain in a state of blurred consciousness.
All the battles that followed were merely battles that took place within his domain, or rather, within his body.
Lin Tian was only fighting against Merust's projection in the domain, which is the secret to his immortality.
In this special realm, if Lin Tian cannot find the key, it will be very difficult to defeat him. The key is to find a way to break the real Merust, which is the moon hanging in the sky. It can be called the heart of Merust, or the core of this realm.
When Lin Tian accidentally destroyed Merust's heart, the entire illusionary realm began to crumble. This is why Lin Tian did not witness the earth-shattering scene. As soon as the moon was shattered, the entire scene began to collapse, and Lin Tian gradually began to awaken from the illusion.
Although the two were fighting in a place similar to an illusion, the damage feedback was real and transmitted to both of them. With the core of the domain destroyed, Merust naturally had no strength to continue maintaining his body, which is why he exploded on the spot in front of Lin Tian.
Of course, Lin Tian didn't understand this point yet, but it didn't matter. Looking at the irretrievable Melust, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, then shifted his gaze from the black mud to the floating white mass in the middle.
Under the gaze of his double pupils, the white mass floated quietly in the air. Lin Tian could clearly see that there were many faceless infants that had appeared before in this white mass.
Is it that moon?
Lin Tian was somewhat confused. At the same time he was observing, the white mass also began to tremble. With the shaking of its body, a large number of faceless infants were shaken out. Some of them floated aimlessly in the air, while others flew away into the distance.
For a time, the entire forbidden area was filled with howls and wailing. Lin Tian, who was already exhausted, felt even more agitated and disordered upon hearing these sounds.
But before he could observe it closely, the ground began to tremble slightly, as if something had happened.
Lin Tian glanced around and saw that the tooth worms that had been surrounding the forbidden area were starting to stir. They hadn't dared to enter the forbidden area before, but after Merust's death, they seemed to have been freed from some kind of restriction and began to rush towards the center in a swarm.
Seeing this, Lin Tian's heart sank. Although these guys weren't very strong, he wasn't in a state where he could fight a big battle right now.
Seeing how crazy these guys were, Lin Tian had no choice but to get up from the ground immediately. He had just swallowed a few pills and had recovered a little bit of strength. Although it was not enough to fight, he could still move around.
Given the current situation, it's best to retreat for now. Seeing that the group of tooth worms was about to rush over, Lin Tian immediately leaped into the air, used his transformation technique to turn himself into a bird, and then flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
The tooth worms didn't have strong anti-air capabilities, so Lin Tian didn't need to worry about them attacking him. As he flew away, Lin Tian took one last look at this forbidden area.
The white mass that had been there earlier had already been broken down into mostly pieces by the large number of babies with their faces covered as they flew out. The remaining part floating in the air was also swallowed up by the tooth worms that rushed in.
As more and more tooth worms entered the area, the scene became extremely chaotic. Driven mad, they even began to devour their companions, resulting in a scene of carnage.
Unable to control the situation, Lin Tian took one last look at the place before flying away.
There may still be some secrets here, but we'll have to wait until his injuries heal before we can investigate.
