CHAPTER 459: CHAPTER 257: VARIABLES AND GAME THEORY

If everyone’s health bar were visible, Tia would probably see Qin Shi’s "terrifying blood quantity," formed by a dense life force, continuously diminishing.

Its corrosive properties have not failed!

The upright figure covered in that dense green air membrane keeps "losing blood"!

One point lost every second!

Unfortunately, Qin Shi’s health bar stands at a six-figure total, over a hundred thousand in total.

That long string of zeros is enough to make anyone feel despair.

"Something must be wrong! Does he have an immune damage characteristic? Then it shouldn’t last much longer."

The powerful female from the human-faced spider clan doesn’t know Qin Shi’s real blood quantity. She still harbors a trace of illusion, feeling it’s unbelievable, even suspecting that her corrosive property hasn’t taken effect.

Thus, Tia’s eyes slightly narrowed, overflowing with green.

The life force fluctuation is like a mountain roar and tsunami, surging mightily.

Echo!

The ceaseless cycle echoes in vibrations, and the air membrane as strong as strong acid suddenly tightens, enveloping Qin Shi’s muscle and skin tightly, intending to melt that flawless flesh completely.

The next moment, a strange sensation emerged in Tia’s mind.

The once invincible corrosive property seemed to pour into a dense, heavy planet.

The originally immense mass appeared insignificant.

Insignificant!

Tia deeply felt her own insignificance!

When she lifted her head again, through the dizzy vision, that young face gradually became clear.

"Not enough yet."

The other party smiled and released his hand, the upright figure bursting with an unparalleled aura, simply standing there exuded endless magnificence.

Inhale, exhale.

Strands of dissipating air currents surged toward him with Qin Shi’s chest rising and falling.

In the hazy ambience, it’s like light and heat radiating from a blazing sun.

"Put in a bit more effort."

Qin Shi stood firmly, eyes gleaming with contempt, inside the forward base, the thunder roared, and mighty booms echoed.

The hard ground trembled like waves, stirring up rolling smoke and dust.

He regarded Tia with expecting eyes, expressed his will with a commanding tone.

It seemed he hoped Tia could unleash more formidable strength to verify the ultimate breakthrough of the fifth great limit, achieving the perfect unity of muscles, bones, skin, and membrane in a mortal body.

-10!

-20!

-50...

In an instant, Qin Shi felt his health bar rapidly depleting.

The corrosive property wasn’t ineffective.

On the contrary, it was getting stronger!

But under the resonance and vibration of muscles, bones, skin, and membrane, this corrosive force was simply unable to penetrate the flesh.

"If you can’t do it."

Qin Shi slightly grinned, his eyes as deep as pools enveloping Tia.

"You will die!"

Thud, thud, thud!

Her heart pounded wildly, her delicate face turned pale, the vision flooded with red covered everything else.

It was like a vast sea of blood unfolded, and Qin Shi was the sovereign king floating in this vast blood sea!

As her heart drummed like a beating drum, pumping powerful blood everywhere, each cell cried out under the death fear-driven pace.

Urged by death fear, the six pairs of limbs on her back "clicked" as they twisted, morphed, and joined into a bizarre posture.

Buzz!

The echo of a large bell shattered the space where Tia was, turning it into numerous irregular cracks, just like countless spider compound eyes, locking onto Qin Shi!

Sizzle!

Sensing a slight burning pain, Qin Shi’s eyes showed a hint of joy.

In the void space, hundreds of malicious spider compound eyes emerged, bringing chaotic twisted life force to a peak.

The terrifying energy, like a floodgate opening, instantly swallowed Qin Shi!

The green corrosive property overwhelmed, releasing a force that evaporates all matter!

"Such a pity..."

Tia’s vigorous body shriveled, like a water-deprived sack, even the fullness in front drooped, resembling an old woman of seventy or eighty years.

Tia was filled with regret, such a delicious little sweetheart, flesh and blood dissolved into a liquid mass...

But just as such thoughts emerged and had not dissipated, the terrifying and despairing cruel reality plunged Tia into an abyss.

"Blood quantity decreased by five thousand per second, lasting less than three seconds in total. Well, it seems you’ve given it your all."

The young voice with a hint of laughter quietly rose, like a bone-chilling wind blowing from the gates of hell.

Qin Shi stretched his figure, the intense pain of burning through bone marrow and blood melting brought him immense pleasure.

The Monument Panel continually displayed line after line of text—

[Hundred Refinements, Motionless as a Mountain!]

[Armor Stacking achievement progress increased by ten percent...]

[You have gained a characteristic of pain immunity...]

[You have gained a toxin antibody characteristic...]

[Order achievement triggered]

[You will ignore this spiritual attack...]

[You continue to stay awake...]

The waterfall-like information washed through Qin Shi’s sea of consciousness.

Accompanying this was an enhancement of his nearly-limit mortal body skeleton!

Muscles, bones, skin, membrane, the four great limits, like thick blocks of steel being compressed, refined to extreme density and hardness.

Crash, crash, crash, crash!

The space around Qin Shi slightly caved in, as if a massive planet released gravitational and attractive forces, bending the atmosphere and cracking everything!

"You’ve tried your best."

Qin Shi’s lips curled, sounding like gentle consolation:

"Failing to excite me is not your fault."

The upright figure raised his arm, overturned his palm downward, pressing it toward the incredulous Tia.

With resounding thunder, the entire forward base shook violently, like a high-intensity earthquake, causing the near-kilometer-range building walls to be overturned, collapsed, and shattered!

Crack, crack, crack!

Branch-like cracks spread rapidly like lightning, covering every corner.

A few minutes later, the sturdy buildings standing on the vast wilderness, after powerless wailing, finally fell.
