Esper X Family – Chapter 435 – Ruler of Rifts, a Cosmic Spatial Powerhouse

“Interesting.”

An unfamiliar voice suddenly echoed in Fu Qi’s mind.

He reacted instantly. It was an intelligent lifeform from the enemy side using mental power to communicate with him!

Even without a shared language, mental power allowed for unimpeded negotiation.

Mental power could fully translate the intended meaning between both parties. As long as intelligence existed, communication was seamless.

From the space station, a mysterious shadow broke through the spatial barrier Fu Qi had erected, halting silently not far from him.

Its appearance was not humanoid. Standing at over three meters tall, its entire form seemed to be draped in a curtain of starlight, swaying faintly in the windless vacuum of space, looking utterly eerie!

The next second.

Its form shifted rapidly, contracting and reshaping. To Fu Qi, it seemed to be imitating the human shape it had observed, eventually taking on a rudimentary humanoid form.

Countless fine fissures appeared across its body, yet one could never see through to the other side. Within those gaping cracks lay an abyssal darkness, as if they contained another space entirely.

Without a word, Fu Qi launched an attack at zero frame, unleashing ten spatial slashes that tore through the void, aiming to rend this sudden enemy into pieces.

But distorted spatial fluctuations rippled once more. The ten spatial slashes grazed past it, leaving behind only ten scarred tears in space.

This confirmed Fu Qi’s suspicion.

The unidentified creature before him was a formidable foe with profound mastery over space!

“I am the Ruler of Rifts, the sovereign who dwells within the crevices of space. I did not expect such a small star system to harbor a powerhouse like you. You are qualified to join us on our journey.”

“Get lost.”

Fu Qi felt immense pressure. Facing an enemy of the same type, even he had no certainty of victory.

He had prepared to unleash the Future Form and the Celestial Form.

He was waiting for an opportunity to deliver an unexpected strike.

But Fu Qi’s intuition told him that the creature before him was not the leader. There were several more of those chilling, hair-raising presences nearby!

He couldn’t reveal his trump cards just yet.

Ruler of Rifts paid no heed to Fu Qi’s hostility.

“This star system is intriguing. Its vast energy resources are sufficient to nurture a thriving race. No wonder it could produce a powerhouse like you.”

Upon breaching this star system, it had experienced rare emotional fluctuations.

Ambient mental power was always a scarce resource in the cosmos.

It could be utilized more easily by lifeforms, granting them immense strength.

For a single planet to contain even a small amount of ambient mental power was already considered rare.

This star system’s resources were unexpectedly bountiful.

This was undoubtedly an event of minuscule probability in the universe!

“Good. This voyage has uncovered an environment and a race capable of producing powerful warriors. We will screen and train them. Only the recognized warriors are fit to embark upon the great journey. As for the remaining lifeforms, they shall merely become fodder to cultivate those warriors.”

The alien did not conceal its intentions.

Or rather, there was no need for concealment.

In the face of absolute disparity, honesty was more efficient.

Tu Sheng’s prophecy was validated once again.

These were enemies that had to be eradicated!

Fu Qi vanished from his spot instantly. When he reappeared, he was behind the Ruler of Rifts, destructive spatial power gathering in his palm.

If the touch succeeded, the creature before him would shatter like glass in an instant!

“Your resistance is meaningless.”

Ruler of Rifts caught the blow. Terrifying cracks instantly spread across its entire body, making it resemble glass on the verge of breaking.

Yet, the next moment, those cracks rapidly healed, demonstrating extreme spatial stability.

“My race has always lived within spatial rifts. We have long since acclimated to this type of injury. Since you insist on resisting, I shall personally train you, forging you into an even stronger warrior.”

The mental exchange continued.

Fu Qi sensed a fluctuation that was both familiar and foreign.

Buzz!

It was a spatial slash!

An even more powerful slash!

Fu Qi flashed away to create distance.

But when he reappeared, a smooth incision ran from his shoulder down to his abdomen, nearly bisecting him.

An ordinary person would have perished instantly from such a blow.

But Fu Qi was a grandmaster in the domain of spatial abilities. Having activated the Selfless Form, he had already fused his body with space.

In just a brief instant, the wound sealed itself shut as if bound by adhesive, showcasing the formidable self-repairing capabilities of space.

“This is trouble.”

Fu Qi’s expression turned grave. He finally felt a genuine threat to his life.

To defeat this opponent, he would have to go all out!

“Are you the only powerhouse of your race? I can sense the aura of many other strong warriors on your planet. In that case, I shall let my comrades conduct the screening. Only warriors who pass the trial are worthy of joining us on the crusade.”

As Ruler of Rifts’ mental message reached him, Fu Qi’s face changed.

He instinctively tried to use his ability to seal and stabilize space, to lock down everything present.

But the attempt was effortlessly shattered by Ruler of Rifts’ superior spatial power.

Fu Qi had a premonition: this Ruler of Rifts’ base mental power was at least fifty thousand!

The next moment.

The bioship stirred.

Dozens of beams shot out like shooting stars, yet they carried no destructive fluctuations. They seemed more like projectiles delivering something.

Fu Qi could clearly sense those formidable auras.

They were undoubtedly powerful enemies!

Some auras were weaker than the Ruler of Rifts, others even stronger.

The ground forces were in grave danger.

That matter could only be left to Lou Wei and the other colleagues.

As for the Ruler of Rifts before him, Fu Qi resolved to annihilate it completely!

As a spatial ability user, he knew all too well how lethal this power could be.

If this Ruler of Rifts were allowed to engage other Espers, it would be a dimensional-reduction strike!

Dozens of light beams plunged into the Bluestar’s atmosphere like meteors, easily bypassing the defenses developed by scientists over the past period.

Most of these beams concentrated on a single region. They could sense where the greater number of strong warriors gathered.

Since they sought warriors, they would go where the strong were clustered!

Therefore.

Over twenty beams targeted the territory of the Dragon Country!

In response, the Dragon Country’s high-level combatants mobilized urgently. All S-rank Espers deployed en masse.

Only Lou Wei held his position.

He could sense that the strongest enemy had not yet descended. A more dangerous presence still lingered in the heavens above.

Until the mightiest foe arrived, he could not expose himself.

As for the other enemies, his colleagues would have to handle them.

Lou Wei could tell that those descending beings hadn’t reached a level requiring his personal intervention yet.

Although their average strength surpassed that of ordinary S-rank Espers, humanity still held the advantage of numbers.

Boom!

As the military base launched beams and missiles to intercept, deafening explosions roared through the sky.

Yet, the speed of the falling “meteors” didn’t diminish.

All anyone could do was watch helplessly as they crashed into the earth.

BOOM!!!

Dust and debris scattered everywhere.

A massive shadow waved a hand, dispersing the dust. Terrifying wind pressure razed everything in the vicinity to the ground.

A formidable enemy had arrived!
