Chapter 238: Chapter 141: Fungal Descendant Corpse King, The Might of Gang Condensation

The mutated beasts, already dead, lost their final source of power in the sea of flames.

They twitched and struggled, finally turning into charred carcasses scattered across the inferno, leaving behind only shattered bone fragments.

Faced with an absolute elemental advantage, the Undead Legion was pitifully fragile.

The colossal Fungal Descendant Corpse King, meanwhile, let out a series of pained roars.

The tissue covering its body—a fusion of countless corpses and fungal filaments—melted and peeled away under the intense heat. This exposed the more vibrant mycelial network within, which was then mercilessly devoured by tongues of flame and burned to ash.

Its two giant hands swatted at its body, trying to extinguish the flames.

Lin Ye’s eyes narrowed. He immediately requested a communication link on the personal terminal on his right wrist.

The call connected, and Shi Ruifeng’s voice, a complex mix of tension and shock, came through. "Lin Ye! What’s your status? Are you okay?"

"Should we begin fire suppression measures now?"

In addition to Incendiary Bullets, the military jet was also equipped with a highly effective, potent fire suppressant.

"No."

Lin Ye’s voice was perfectly calm, without the slightest ripple. Transmitted into the jet, it left everyone inside momentarily stunned.

"I need your help."

"Use my current position as the epicenter. I need another saturation drop covering a two-hundred-meter radius."

"Use more Incendiary Bullets to completely encircle this monster!"

"We absolutely cannot let it escape. If it gets away, killing it will be next to impossible!"

The other end of the line went dead silent.

Everyone in the jet, Shi Ruifeng included, was frozen in disbelief.

’More... Drop more?’

’He’s not only unafraid of the fire, he thinks it’s not big enough?’

After a brief silence, Shi Ruifeng took a deep breath, suppressed the raging storm in his heart, and forced out a single word through clenched teeth.

"Alright!"

"Stay safe, and keep the line open!"

Shi Ruifeng and his team moved with lightning speed.

Flawless execution was in their blood.

The moment after Lin Ye requested another drop, the fighter jet hovering overhead opened its bomb bay doors once again.

This time, it wasn’t just one.

It was four!

Four even more brilliant trails of fire streaked across the flame-lit night sky, precisely striking four points in a circle around the initial impact zone!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Four violent explosions erupted in succession!

The sea of flames instantly expanded outward by a hundred meters!

What had been a fire in the central area was now a massive cage of roaring flames, completely consuming everything within a radius of several hundred meters!

Fine beads of sweat finally appeared on Lin Ye’s forehead.

Even covered in Shadow Scale, he could feel the ambient temperature soaring to a terrifying level—at least 800 degrees.

The Shadow Scale’s insulating properties and his Flame Resistance were nearing their limit.

But he also realized his objective was largely accomplished.

His goal was to exploit the fungal filaments’ vulnerability to high temperatures. He would use this sea of fire to completely sever all connections between the external mycelial network and the Fungal Descendant Corpse King before him!

He considered all the black mycelia in the forest and the corpses they controlled to be a single, complete life form.

And now, with fire from the heavens, he had completely severed the brain of this life form from its body!

Within the vast sea of fire.

Lin Ye drew the Star-Piercing Spear from his back.

The dark spear shaft showed no sign of warping under the intense heat; it was barely even warm to the touch.

Instead, the mysterious, river-of-stars-like blue patterns on the shaft seemed to come alive in the firelight, flowing slowly and emitting a cool aura.

’Ouyang Ye really forged me a fine spear!’ Lin Ye marveled to himself.

「The next moment.」

Lin Ye moved.

His figure a blur of motion, he charged fearlessly into the core of the inferno, where the heat was most intense!

The temperature skyrocketed.

Lin Ye gritted his teeth against the wave of heat that threatened to burn through his Shadow Scale, his spear instantly shifting into the relentless Breaking Army Form.

He and his spear became one, a black thunderbolt tearing through the flames to clash violently with the roaring, skeletal behemoth!

Every one of Lin Ye’s thrusts was wide and powerful, imbued with peerless force, stripping away large chunks of corrupted tissue from the beast’s body!

The tangled fungal filaments within were exposed, and with a single lick of flame, they let out a SIZZLE, shriveling and dying instantly.

Lin Ye’s plan was to use this simple, brutal method to peel away its outer shell, layer by layer!

Until the creature revealed its true core!

"ROAR—!"

Realizing that Lin Ye was the true threat, the behemoth began a frenzied counterattack.

Its massive hand, formed from countless bones and black mycelia, blotted out the sky as it slammed down on Lin Ye!

The vicious downdraft from the blow even flattened the surrounding flames!

Lin Ye didn’t dare underestimate it. Pushing off hard, his figure flashed, and he narrowly dodged the thunderous blow.

CRASH!

A crater several meters deep appeared where he had just been standing, and the entire ground trembled violently from the impact!

’If that had hit me,’ Lin Ye thought, ’I have no doubt that even if I survived, I’d have several broken bones and be hammered straight into the ground.’

Dodging the blow, Lin Ye didn’t pause for an instant before pressing forward again.

In the blinding inferno, his spear became a black tempest, a flurry of devastating strikes.
