Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 1103: Chapter 1103: A Palm

Di Esi and Wei Wufu no longer pretended, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Shen. The ghostly power within them surged, ready to resist Yan Li together with Lin Shen.

They knew well in their hearts that today was likely full of doom and little hope. Forget about being able to defeat Yan Li— even if they could, there were still thousands of Upper Rank Divine Beings outside. Escaping seemed an almost impossible task.

At this point, they could only take it one step at a time. Until the moment of death, they would not give up.

Just as they were about to charge at Yan Li, Aunt Xia, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stiffened and stood up straight as if rising like a zombie.

The three of them were startled and unconsciously took two steps back.

After standing, the bloody hole on Aunt Xia’s forehead rapidly healed. Her eyes quickly regained clarity as she glared viciously at Lin Shen and said, “I’ll cut you into pieces!”

As she spoke, a chilling ghostly Qi erupted from her body, transforming into a disfigured female ghostly soul, which immediately lunged at Lin Shen.

Lin Shen and the other two instantly counterattacked with their full strength. Lin Shen’s Finger Sand struck the female ghostly soul, instantly piercing multiple holes in her.

Di Esi’s strength poured down like a Star River, but it seemed as if it passed through a phantom, flowing right through the body of the ghostly soul.

Wei Wufu’s Power of Justice set the ghostly soul’s shadowy body ablaze as soon as they made contact.

Yet Wei Wufu’s strength wasn’t enough; the flames were extinguished by black smoke almost immediately. The ghostly soul continued to hurtle toward Lin Shen, and the roiling black smoke engulfed all three of them within.

“Wei… Di Esi… help me…” Lin Shen’s mind raced as he called out to the two.

Their thoughts aligned without the need for Lin Shen to elaborate. They understood his intentions clearly, and they too shared the same idea.

Almost simultaneously, as the black smoke wrapped around them, Wei Wufu and Di Esi each stood at the sides of Lin Shen, pressing their palms onto his shoulders and transferring all their ghostly powers into him without reserve.

The Three-Star System within Lin Shen activated forcefully, absorbing their ghostly powers. He raised his hand and unleashed Finger Sand toward the female ghostly soul before him.

This time, the Finger Sand Lin Shen emitted was no longer silent and invisible—it gleamed like stars, burning with holy justice.

The instant the Finger Sand left his fingertips, it transformed into countless stardust, scattering the pervasive ghostly Qi like a tempest and igniting it into flames. Countless flecks of Finger Sand struck the female ghostly soul.

The star-like Finger Sand pierced through the ghostly soul’s body, pouring in relentlessly, while the burning Power of Justice reduced the soul to ashes.

In mere moments, the Finger Sand, akin to a Star River, completely dissolved the female ghostly soul into dust.

The Star River of Finger Sand continued, crashing into Aunt Xia’s body. Amid her screams and terror, it disintegrated her form entirely into ashes, leaving nothing behind.

None of the three expected their combined efforts to be so overwhelmingly powerful.

The Power of Justice clearly restrained Aunt Xia’s abilities.

Di Esi’s Power of Dust magnified the effect of a single grain of Finger Sand into an innumerable Star River, exponentially amplifying its destructive force.

Even ants, in numbers, can kill an elephant—let alone Finger Sand under the enhancement of Super-Base Divine Shot and Super-Base Life Soul, with its ability to pierce through divine souls.

The three powers merged into one, instantly annihilating Aunt Xia, a top-class fighter even among the Upper Rank.

Their combined power didn’t stop; it surged like a flood toward Yan Li.

Such terrifying joint force gave Lin Shen and his companions newfound confidence. Though they couldn’t instantly kill Yan Li as they had Aunt Xia, surely they could inflict severe injuries?

If they could deliver critical damage or capture Yan Li, it might even allow them to escape Immortal-Returning City.

But as the Star River of Finger Sand reached Yan Li, the trio’s expressions instantly changed.

Yan Li stood motionless, her Divine Soul—like that of a Ghost God—manifesting around her. The Finger Sand twisted on its own accord, avoiding Yan Li entirely, spiraling into the six-colored vortex behind her Divine Soul, and spinning continuously within.

Yan Li extended her hand, lifting her red veil, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.

Di Esi had seen it before and wasn’t particularly affected.

It was the first time for Lin Shen and Wei Wufu, and even Wei Wufu, who had no love for beauty, was taken aback by her captivating appearance.

However, such beauty brought them no goodwill, nor did it evoke any favorable feelings within them.

“This ends here,” Yan Li said softly, raising her hand to press toward Lin Shen in the air.

The ghostly Divine Soul around her mirrored her movement, also raising its hand and pressing toward Lin Shen.

In that instant, Lin Shen felt as though the entire world had faded, leaving only himself and the massive hand pressing down. That hand eclipsed the heavens, filling the entire world, leaving no room for escape.

“Again!” Di Esi and Wei Wufu roared, channeling their ghostly powers once more into Lin Shen’s body.

Lin Shen erupted with everything he had, firing streams of Finger Sand from all ten fingers.

Ten streams of Finger Sand burned with holy light, transforming instantly into countless stardust, attempting to pierce through the hand that overshadowed all.

But the dreadful Finger Sand was absorbed into the hand upon contact, disappearing without a trace, as the hand pressed down undeterred.

The oppressive force bent the trio’s bodies uncontrollably; even before the hand reached Lin Shen, the sheer pressure forced him onto one knee.

The overwhelming force of the hand was terrifying— even their combined strength couldn’t hope to withstand it.

“Stop—I’m willing to stay here for eternity in exchange for their lives!” Di Esi shouted.

“You may stay, but he must die,” Yan Li replied coldly as the hand continued to press down. “No one can change his fate today—he must die.”

“He’s the Star Constellation Master of the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace. If you kill him, aren’t you afraid of the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace tracking you?” Di Esi asked.

“What do I care about the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace? I’ve transcended all ranks and reached the Ultimate stage. Even the Great Divine Official is but an insect to me—who can possibly stop me?” Yan Li sneered, her hand pressing down relentlessly.

The terrifying power fractured Lin Shen’s armor directly, and the weight nearly forced his other knee to kneel. This, however, was still the effect before the hand even touched him.

Should the hand actually land on Lin Shen, his body would undoubtedly disintegrate into nothingness.

The pressure on Di Esi and Wei Wufu was less severe. Yan Li didn’t intend to kill them, and her power wasn’t directed at them specifically, but the residual force was still strong enough to send them flying, blood spilling from their mouths.

“Haotian Golden Imperial Supreme Exalted Naturally Wonderful Profound Genuine Jade Emperor… (spell)…” Lin Shen half-knelt as he stared at the immense hand descending toward him, his bloodshot eyes fixed. Grinding his bloodied teeth, he uttered the Jade Emperor’s true name.
