36. Chapter 36

1751 Lu Ou Locks onto Lin Yuan

Although Morbius could use True Data to see a fey's grade, abilities, and exclusive skills, it could not see a fey's lifespan.

Hence, Lin Yuan did not know how long the Disaster World Faceless Beast's lifespan was.

If the Disaster World Faceless Beast did not have a long lifespan, Payment in Life would not have much of an effect.

But if it had a very long lifespan, the Disaster World Faceless Beast would be able to use Payment in Life to roll grades to kill powerful experts.

!

Previously, the Moon Empress only had four years left in her lifespan.

If the Disaster World Faceless Beast had used Payment in Life to attack the Moon Empress, it would only need to sacrifice four years of its lifespan to kill her.

Nonetheless, it would not be easy for the Disaster World Faceless Beast to use Payment in Life to kill top experts.

After all, it needed to be in contact with its target in order to use Payment in Life on them.

It would be extremely difficult to touch a top expert.

Unless her opponent was more powerful than her, there was no way the Moon Empress would allow anyone to touch her.

However, the Disaster World Faceless Beast could cheat its target using Faceless Appearance.

If the Disaster World Faceless Beast changed into the appearance of its target's loved one and its target was not a Creation Master, it would be able to gain the trust of its target.

This would enable it to draw near to its target to kill them.

Lin Yuan and the rest had been going after Yan Ling.

But why had Lu Ou not tried to come after any of them yet?

At first, Lu Ou's attention was taken by Liu Yifan.

According to the information gathered by the Freedom Federation, Liu Yifan's Myth II Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow had the ability to defend souls.

Hence, to be on the safe side, Lu Ou decided to give up on using the Disaster World Faceless Beast on Liu Yifan.

Now, his only options left were Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Zong Ze.

Given that Gao Feng was a pure support-type spirit qi professional, there was not much point in the Disaster World Faceless Beast taking control of Gao Feng in the first place.

Moreover, due to the condition stated by the Radiance Federation, Gao Feng could not be attacked before his four teammates fell.

After some mulling, Lu Ou's gaze fell on Lin Yuan.

Zong Ze did not pose a threat because he was afflicted by a curse.

Not even the Freedom Federation had found a way to negate curses that resulted in bad luck.

Hence, Lu Ou did not believe that the Radiance Federation had found a way either.

The Freedom Federation had always had more Creation Master resources than the Radiance Federation.

Moreover, an expert that could purify the Eternal Heart had appeared in the Freedom Federation five years ago.

Otherwise, the Freedom Federation would not have left one Class 5 Creation Master pathway unutilized.

Given that Liu Jie could control insect-species carcinoma feys, they needed to watch out for him as well.

However, the battleground was too small for the insect-species carcinoma feys to be fully effective.

Lu Ou was not standing in front of Liu Jie.

If Liu Jie summoned the physically weak insect-species carcinoma feys, he would be sending them to their deaths.

Thus, Lu Ou chose Black, the all-rounded talented opponent that had won out over Han Qi.

Lu Ou did not know that the Radiance Federation team was already fully aware of the Disaster World Faceless Beast's information.

The Gorgon Clam's Spirit Boiling Paralysis had immobilized Black, so it was the best opportunity to target him.

At that moment, the Disaster World Faceless Beast ordered the Disaster World Faceless Beast to use Deepened Curse Imprint, followed by Disaster Warning and Disaster Heart on Lin Yuan.

After three consecutive attacks, Lin Yuan's gaze immediately turned blank.

It was as though something had entered his head and was eating away at his mind, spirit, and soul.

Under such corrosive effects, Lin Yuan no longer had the ability to use Calm Mind on himself.

But now that Morbius was awake, it used Calm Mind on Lin Yuan three times of its own volition.

After Lin Yuan fell prey to the attacks, Liu Yifan, Liu Jie, Zong Ze, and Gao Feng were shocked.

But at the same time, they knew that this was not the time for them to be impulsive.

Liu Yifan exclaimed, "Zong Ze, follow the plan! Leave Black to me!"

Liu Yifan summoned the Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow and the Four-Animal Eight-Trigram Deer.

Once the two pinnacle Myth II feys appeared, they used abilities that protected Lin Yuan's spirit and soul.

Alas, the two feys could not protect the mind.

Thus, Lin Yuan would have to deal with that on his own!

Zong Ze immediately summoned the Heaven Crimson Fire and the Fiery Sky Hou.

The Life-Changing Fire Beast and Blue Poison Flame Puppet's powers had improved since the battle against Lin Yuan, but Zong Ze did not summon them because he planned on launching a continuous chain of attacks.

If he summoned too many feys, it would cause too large of a scene and waste too much time, which would give the opponent time to build their defenses.

Moreover, Zong Ze planned on injecting all the spiritual power in his body into the Fiery Sky Hou so that it would be able to work together with the Heaven Crimson Fire to produce his strongest attack.

Qian Yu was preoccupied with Lin Yuan, and Liu Jie was busy using the hidden insect army to attack Qian Yu in an attempt to slow him down. 𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏.com

Lin Yuan was trapped by the Disaster World Faceless Beast, and now would be the best time for Lu Ou to attack him.

No matter how worried Zong Ze was about Lin Yuan, he was well aware of his duty and what the right thing to do was.

The Fiery Sky Hou had started out tangerine-colored and resembling a rabbit.

But now, it looked vastly different.

It was so large that it could no longer sit on Zong Ze's shoulder.

There were beautiful crystallized flames all over the Fiery Sky Hou. The flames looked so solid that it was as though they would be able to punch a hole in the sky if they rose that high.

A ball of flame, even more brilliant than the fire that covered the Fiery Sky Hou's body, appeared in Zong Ze's palm.

Zong Ze tossed the Heaven Crimson Fire into the air and used Crimson Flame Country.

Previously, when Zong Ze used Crimson Flame Country in his fight against Lin Yuan, he had only been able to summon 21 armed flame angels.

But now, the Crimson Flame Country looked completely different.

It used to be a round door from which the flame angels would emerge.

But now, the round door suddenly cracked, and a bonafide country made of flames appeared in the sky.

1752 Zong Ze Goes All Out!

The light from the flames burned a large red domain in the sky.

A city of clouds slowly emerged within the flames. At the center of the cloud city was a large altar.

There was a flame angel with 12 wings and holding a staff of flames standing on each side of the altar.

Armed angels started pouring out from the altar and lining up in an orderly fashion in the sky.

After more than 70 armed flame angels appeared, two tanks emerged from the altar.

Each of the staff-wielding 12-winged flame angels flew up to one of the tanks and stood commandingly in front of the 76 two-winged armed flame angels.

At that moment, Zong Ze used the Heaven Crimson Fire's other ability, Heaven Arbitrage.

Heaven Arbitrage would enable each attack from the flame angels to have an undodgeable burning effect. Moreover, the repeated burning effects would lower the target's recovery.

This ability would work in conjunction with Crimson Flame Country to enhance the flame angels' attacking power.

Zong Ze did not stop after ordering the Heaven Crimson Fire to use these two abilities as he went on to order the Fiery Sky Hou to use Dreamland of Fire.

In an instant, all the fire-elemental energy in the area started to pulse.

The ground was now covered with tiles made of fire.

These tiles formed a territory, within which the damage from flames would continuously escalate.

After using Dreamland of Fire, the Fiery Sky Hou's power increased significantly.

Liu Yifan had summoned the Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow and Four-Animal Eight-Trigram Deer to help Lin Yuan combat the effects of the Disaster World Faceless Beast's attacks.

At the same time, he instructed the Peach Prosper Jay, which had been helping the insect army, to hold back Qian Yu to use Elite Guard Return.

The Peach Prosper Jay let out a plaintive cry, and half of the peaches growing on the tree wilted in an instant.

The rotted peaches fell to the ground after the Peach Prosper Jay absorbed the energy within them.

The Peach Prosper Jay could summon the Elite Guard because it had absorbed the Elite Guard's soul.

The more energy the Peach Prosper Jay used, the stronger the Elite Guard summoned by Elite Guard Return would be.

The Peach Prosper Jay was putting all of its energy into summoning the Elite Guard.

Liu Yifan was well aware of what Zong Ze's attack represented.

If Zong Ze's attack was successful, their number of opponents would fall.

Their team would have a much easier time if the link between the three sacred source lifeforms was severed.

If Zong Ze failed and ended up using all of his spiritual power in the process, their combat power would fall precipitously even if Gao Feng helped to replenish his spiritual power.

Thus, the attack had to be successful no matter what!

After the Peach Prosper Jay let out its cry, a small red bird about the same size as the Peach Prosper Jay appeared next to it.

The red bird flew in a circle around the Peach Prosper Jay, and flames soon erupted all over its body.

Fire-elemental energy started flowing out of the red bird.

This red bird was the fire-type Elite Guard that consisted of its soul and energy.

It would not disappear until all the energy was used up.

The Elite Guard flew to Zong Ze, and the phantom image of a raging flame appeared behind it.

The phantom image encapsulated Zong Ze and caused five-foot tall flames to appear within the Dreamland of Fire.

Chimey had communicated with the sun and borrowed its power to combine it with the Dreamland of Fire, increasing its temperature.

The Fiery Sky Hou had many methods of attacking, but Zong Ze did not use any of them.

Rather, after he injected all the spiritual power in his body into the Fiery Sky Hou's body, the Fiery Sky Hou lunged at Cai Huo.

At the same time, the Fiery Sky Hou used Strange Fire Eight Refinement.

The eight strange flames circled the Fiery Sky Hou. Three of the eight strange flames were Class 5.

The Fiery Sky Hou used up the five high-grade strange flames and two top-grade strange flames.

It used Tempering of Fire to enhance the Red Plum Falling Fire, and the fire that seemed to contain red plums suddenly turned into a field of plums.

The Red Plum Falling Fire's special characteristics were its temperature and flames. Although these were the most basic features of fire, they were the source of the damage caused by fire.

Cai Huo panicked when he saw the Fiery Sky Hou lunging at him.

Because Qian Yu had insisted on attacking, You Changjian had been affected by the poison and corrosive effects of Red Thorn's digestive fluids. Thus, his tank of spiritual power was running low.

He was currently in the midst of replenishing his spiritual power.

This was the time when the link between the three sacred source lifeforms was the weakest.

If this was any other time, Cai Huo would not have bothered to dodge in the face of an attack.

However, at that moment, he was unsure if the Gorgon Teeth would be able to fend off this attack.

If You Changjian or Yan Ling were in his place, they would be able to fuse with their devils to boost themselves.

However, Cai Huo had not obtained a devil.

Cai Huo hurriedly summoned his three feys and positioned them as shields in front of him.

He looked at You Changjian and shouted, "Ah Jian!"

After Cai Huo summoned his three feys, Yan Ling immediately ordered the Gorgon Clam to use Red Algae Flow to extend the link to Cai Huo's three feys.

Next, she gnashed her teeth and summoned an otherworldly plant. It had many purple flowers growing on it and was extremely beautiful.

But its most special feature was that the large round flower core at the center of its petals was covered with many small spikes.

Under the light, it could be seen that the small spikes were translucent.

Yan Ling shouted, "Purple Grudge Demon Flower, use Thousand Needle-Spitting Core and Scapegoat Hug!"

The Diamond X/Fantasy V Purple Grudge Demon Flower immediately rolled up its petals and launched its purple flower core at the Fiery Sky Hou.

Next, the Purple Grudge Demon Flower hugged Cai Huo tightly. Th.ê most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n(0)velbj) /m

Given that Zong Ze was a low-grade Class 4 Creation Master, he could not read the abilities and exclusive skills of Myth Breed feys, but he could for Fantasy Breed feys.

Hence, he knew what effects Thousand Needle-Spitting Core and Scapegoat Hug had.

1753 Liu Jie Explodes!

Thousand Needle-Spitting Core was considered a poison- and wood-type group damage ability.

The spikes spat out by the Purple Grudge Demon Flower were pure wood-type and could pierce armor and lead to bleeding. If it came into contact with a target, the target would immediately be reduced to a mass of blood that would lead to death if not treated.

The needles looked small, but once they pierced through the skin of a fey, they would expand after absorbing blood, causing the wound to widen.

The blood that flowed out could fuse with the Purple Grudge Demon Flower's purple pollen.

The pollen was very poisonous and could be lethal.

Unlike the poison of the Nether Bamboo Viper, which needed a long time to take effect, the Purple Grudge Demon Flower's poison was fast-acting.

The Purple Grudge Demon Flower was extremely vicious and very skilled at combat.

Yet, Zong Ze did not instruct the Fiery Sky Hou to dodge.

Firstly, the Non-Burning Nirvana Sound Sparrow aided the Fiery Sky Hou. The Elite Guard's usage of Burning Therach Will also increased the effects of fire-type attacks. Additionally, the Fiery Sky Hou had used Dreamland of Fire, as well as the eight strange flames, to enhance itself.

The Fiery Sky Hou's power had exceeded that of Fantasy Breed and was capable of taking on a pinnacle Myth II fey.

Hence, the wooden spikes that flew over were burned to ashes by the Red Plum Falling Fire before they even touched the Fiery Sky Hou's body.

It would be difficult for the pollen to infect the Fiery Sky Hou in the presence of such high heat.

The Purple Grudge Demon Flower's attack had been virtually useless.

However, Yan Ling had never placed much hope in this attack. She had only used it as an experiment to see how much power the Fiery Sky Hou had.

The most important reason Yan Ling had summoned the Purple Grudge Demon Flower was that she wanted it to use Scapegoat Hug to protect Cai Huo.

Scapegoat Hug would enable the Purple Grudge Demon Flower to hug a target to protect it. If the target sustained a life-threatening attack, the Purple Grudge Demon Flower would sacrifice itself and die in the target's place.

Yan Ling was well aware that the death of a main fey would be a serious blow to any spirit qi professional.

Normally, she would only use Scapegoat Hug on herself.

But given the situation, she had no choice.

This was a battle to the death against the Radiance Federation. Although Yan Ling did not feel a sense of duty to her federation, she could not stand losing.

If they lost, Qian Yu and Lu Ou might be fine, but the three of them would definitely end up dead.

Yan Ling was more afraid of Lu Ou, who had fused with his devil, than their opponents.

At that moment, Lu Ou only had four horns on his head and did not have any tattoos on his face yet. As such, his fusion with his devil was not considered complete. He had just tapped into its aura.

Yan Ling had never seen how Lu Ou looked when he was fully fused with the devil.

But she did know which devil he had fused with.

Once they were fused, the influence of the devil would put Lu Ou in a state of maddening hunger.

If Cai Huo died, the link between the three of them would break, and Yan Ling and You Changjian would probably end up gobbled up by Lu Ou.

Given that Yan Ling and You Changjian had contracted devils, they were completely helpless to fight back against Lu Ou.

The pressure that higher devils had on intermediate devils was too strong. Once one contracted a devil, their soul would be influenced by it.

Yan Ling did not know it, but when she instructed the Purple Grudge Demon Flower to use Scapegoat Hug, a smile spread across Zong Ze's face.

This was because Zong Ze's target had never been Cai Huo but was actually Yan Ling.

Zong Ze had done what Lin Yuan said and feigned targeting Cai Huo.

But he had not expected such an advantageous result.

Meanwhile, Liu Jie had almost gone mad. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin.c/om

He ordered the insect army to continuously charge at the Cambria Abundant Fish.

Qian Yu had been very cautious in using the Cambria Abundant Fish so as to preserve his teammates.

For a water-type fey like this that depended on a territory of water to fight, his teammates were nothing more than obstacles unless they had water-type feys of their own.

The plasma from the Plasma Caterpillars and Lightning Gathering Moths that the Insect Queen had produced had been accumulating for some time. The sea of flowers above it had started to tremble.

Liu Jie released all the plasma at the Cambria Abundant Fish, shooting a huge hole in the Cambria Abundant Fish.

Soon, the Blade Worms and Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects charged forward while the Shield Ladybugs hovered in the air, ready to use their bodies to defend against any aerial attack.

The sea of insects had started to move.

Under Liu Jie's command, none of the insects were afraid of death.

Although Liu Jie had recalled the Earth-Wrecking Old Burial Insect, the ruined earth and the Hypha Tapeworm were still present.

The injured insects could eat the ruined earth to replenish their energy and continue attacking, while the dead insects would be immediately taken as hosts by the Hypha Tapeworm before they continued to attack as well.

Although Qian Yu was not helpless against the seemingly endless insect tide, it did grip him with fear.

If the young man commandeering the Insect Queen was an A-rank spirit qi professional, the power of the insect army would increase by leaps and bounds. At that time, Qian Yu might not be able to fend it off.

Qian Yu could sense Zong Ze attacking Cai Huo but was preoccupied with Liu Jie. Thus, he was about to summon another fey to help when a sharp chill sliced down on him from the insect tide.

Immediately after, a giant eel that was almost 400 meters long appeared in front of him.

The eel flicked its long tail and landed on the Orchid Petal Knife Mantis that the Dead Soul Demon Insect possessed.

The Orchid Petal Knife Mantis was instantly crushed.

When the Orchid Petal Knife Mantis was crushed, the Dead Soul Demon Insect used Parasitic Soul Dead Seed to hide itself again.

Liu Jie's sudden attack forced Qian Yu to use the fey he had summoned to help Cai Huo protect himself instead.

At that moment, without giving any of the five members of the Freedom Federation to react, the Fire Lava Sand Insect finally settled within the cracks of the sand and fell deeply asleep.

Almost instantly, a volcano opened up below Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian.

1754 Deep Freeze King Eel

The giant volcano was three meters wide. Vissit novelbin.c.𝒐m for updates

Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian's feys could have escaped when the volcano appeared.

No matter how quickly the Fire Lava Sand Insect released its energy, it needed more than ten seconds to manipulate the geography to form the volcano.

However, the Purple Grudge Demon Flower had used Scapegoat Hug on Cai Huo. Unless Yan Ling removed the ability or the Purple Grudge Demon Flower died as a result of taking an attack on behalf of Cai Huo, it would be difficult for him to escape the grasp of the ability.

Yan Ling could not do much about this because Scapegoat Hug did not just involve restraining a target.

In order for the ability to take effect, the Purple Grudge Demon Flower needed to activate the energy in its body to form a protective layer over the target's body.

It would be easy to form the layer but not to remove it.

Cai Huo did not manage to escape from the volcanic region, and there was no way that Yan Ling and You Changjian could abandon him because it would cost them the link between their three sacred source lifeforms.

Even if their side won, their future would be bleak if the link between the three of them was broken.

Yan Ling and You Changjian stayed by Cai Huo's side within range of the volcano instead of fleeing.

There was a limit to the Gorgon Clam using Red Algae Flow. The effects would weaken once the targets were more than 100 meters away from the Gorgon Clam.

The fine sand around the mouth of the volcano was much easier to melt than ground and rocks.

Moreover, the Fire Lava Sand Insect was Diamond X/Legend.

Liu Jie had never used the Fire Lava Sand Insect before and only had an estimate of the Fire Lava Sand Insect's power.

Now, it was giving him a big surprise.

The mouth of the volcano had a diameter of 300 meters. The amount of fire-elemental energy that could be provided to Zong Ze could be estimated by the size of the volcano.

Due to the request made before the battle, You Changjian and Gao Feng could not be touched before their teammates were all eliminated.

As such, it should be considered breaking the rules that You Changjian remained within the range of the volcano.

However, there was a prerequisite to this condition, which was the factor of whether Gao Feng and You Changjian had been given the opportunity to flee the danger.

If they did have the opportunity to escape unscathed, the attack would not be considered breaking the rules.

This was the reason Qian Yu had ordered the Cambria Abundant Fish to attack all five members of the Radiance Federation team.

Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian did not know how the volcano below them had come about and assumed that it was a result of one of Zong Ze's fey's abilities.

From the information they had gathered, only Zong Ze had a fully fire-type team of feys. Even all his sacred source lifeforms were fire-type as well.

The Diamond X/Legend Fire Lava Sand Insect unleashed its devastating side, and a cloud of black smog burst out of the mouth of the volcano.

This smog alone caused the Gorgon Teeth to crack twice.

Astonishment spread across You Changjian's face.

The smog was not just hot air but sublimated sand that had been projected out of the ground.

The smog was as hot as lava.

After the first burst of smog exited the volcano, the happily slumbering Fire Lava Sand Insect continued to release more and more energy.

The violent burst from the mouth of the volcano struck terror into You Changjian.

He was running very low on spiritual power.

As the Gorgon Teeth continued to remold itself after being cracked and You Changjian could sense the level of spiritual power in his body falling dangerously low, he said loudly to Yan Ling and Cai Huo, "We need to come up with a way to escape from this volcano now! Qian Yu and Lu Ou, what are you two doing? Come and help us!"

Lu Ou frowned because he realized that the Disaster World Faceless Beast had been trapped by Black when it entered his body.

This situation left Lu Ou silently shocked.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast was Suzerain X/Myth I, while Black was only a B-rank spirit qi professional.

As such, Black's mind, spirit, and soul should be nowhere as strong as that of the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Under the effects of Disaster Warning, Disaster Heart, and Deepened Curse Imprint, Black should have already lost himself and fallen completely under the Disaster World Faceless Beast's control.

Lu Ou was fully focused on the Disaster World Faceless Beast as he continuously injected spiritual power into it.

Qian Yu had summoned the Deep Freeze King Eel to aid Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian.

The Deep Freeze King Eel was a powerful aquatic fey.

There were a total of 12 clans in the sea that were fighting for a place among the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. The Deep Freeze King Eel belonged to one of those clans.

When Qian Yu heard You Changjian's plea, he was about to order the Deep Freeze King Eel to go forward to help the three of them when Liu Jie sent the swarm of plasma moths carrying lighting caterpillars over to Qian Yu.

Qian Yu was about to instruct the Cambria Abundant Fish to expand the territory of water to kill the insects when Liu Jie suddenly used the Insect Queen's Swarm Frenzy and Blast Recovery.

The Plasma Caterpillars and Lightning Gathering Moths were like bombs.

The Cambria Abundant Fish struggled to hold out against the numerous explosions.

After all, the Lightning Gathering Moths and Plasma Caterpillars were all Diamond X/Fantasy I, and over 100 self-exploding Diamond/Fantasy feys could undoubtedly cause damage to Myth Breed feys.

Thus, when Qian Yu saw the Shield Ladybugs, Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects, and Hurricane Owlet Moths barreling at him while radiating strong energy, he knew that they were all about to self-detonate.

Qian Yu started to panic.

The self-explosion of over 10,000 insects would even leave a Myth III fey seriously injured.

Alas, Qian Yu could not dodge the attack because Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian were behind him.

Zong Ze's attack might not harm Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian, but the explosion of such a large swarm of insects would certainly kill them.

Qian Yu had no choice but to order the Deep Freeze King Eel to use Extreme Freeze to freeze the water that the Cambria Abundant Fish had produced to defend against the insects.

However, Qian Yu did not know that not all the insects were above the sea of sand. There were even more under the sand.

After the Disaster World Faceless Beast took control of Black, Qian Yu dropped his guard against the sea of sand.

1755 Fused Devil!

But at that moment, the insects under the sand dug out a large hold in the sand, causing the ice to sink below the sand.

Soon, explosions were heard from below the sand.

While Liu Jie replenished his spiritual power using Blast Recovery, the Dimensional Light Moth released another swarm of insects.

This swarm mostly consisted of Shield Ladybugs and Hurricane Owlet Moths.

It was clear that Liu Jie was going to change his position from offense to support after this attack.

He had been able to produce such a gigantic sea of insects because of Gao Feng's help.

Lin Yuan had instructed Gao Feng not to hold back on spiritual power. As such, Gao Feng had drained almost all the spiritual power in his body for Liu Jie's sake.

The Spirit Spring Lilies and Breeze Hibiscus were so drained that all their flowers had started to wilt.

During the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, Gao Feng had been able to hold up a team of 10,000 on his own.

That immense power and the protein that Liu Jie instructed the Insect Queen to produce continuously enabled him to generate the ocean of insects.

This attack was the strongest strike that Liu Jie could produce with the army of insects.

If Liu Jie had not known what the Disaster World Faceless Beast's abilities were and what danger Lin Yuan was facing, he would not have been as enraged as he currently was.

Liu Jie launched his fury-fuelled attack, so Qian Yu was unable to aid Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian.

By this time, Zong Ze had released his attack.

The Fiery Sky Hou turned, and the attack that had been headed toward Cai Huo was now making a beeline for Yan Ling instead.

It was at this moment that Yan Ling realized that their opponent had fooled them.

Without a single further thought, Yan Ling immediately fused with the intermediate devil in her body.

Yan Ling was not considered a top beauty among her peers, but her appearance was still above average.

Now, her white skin had turned dark green and vines sprouted from below her feet.

A malevolent aura rose around her.

Two sharp and wooden-like horns jutted out from her head. Her eyes turned to slits and were filled with a bewitching aura.

You Changjian had also fused with the devil in his body.

His originally slender body expanded, ivory bone spikes shot out of the skin on his limbs, and numerous sharp fangs pushed out from his mouth.

You Changjian immediately used his devil's ability.

Despite being roasted by the volcano, You Changjian's spiritual power and vitality started to rise.

Zong Ze narrowed his eyes. He knew that their opponent would not be so easy to take down.

Given that their opponents were all top young experts from the Freedom Federation, they had to possess unexpected secret weapons.

Zong Ze could not investigate the attributes of the devil that You Changjian had fused with.

But what he did know was that You Changjian had used an ability that could transform damage sustained into vitality and spiritual power.

Zong Ze watched as the bone spikes on You Changjian's limbs started to fall off.

He guessed that You Changjian would not be able to use the ability again once all the bone spikes fell off.

But at that moment, You Changjian had recovered enough spiritual power to enable the Gorgon Teeth to use Cracked Body Remolded another seven or eight times.

Yan Ling was clearly not skilled at defense.

She had only fused with her devil to increase her defensive ability.

Zong Ze never expected the attack to be easy. His goal was to create the chance to get the battle under control.

He was willing to give up everything he had for this chance. nÊw st𝒐ries at n𝒐 𝒎

Zong Ze injected the last shred of spiritual power in his body into the Heaven Crimson Fire.

Now that he was completely devoid of spiritual power, he collapsed to the ground in a pool of cold sweat. He did not even have the strength to climb back to his feet.

At that moment, the two 12-winged angels raised their staffs and pointed at the cloud city in the sky.

In an instant, the cloud city burst into flames and turned into two red robes.

The two robes made of flames landed on the two angels.

The two 12-winged angels resembled flame-robed bishops as they waved their staffs, and the troop of 76 flame angels behind them absorbed the residual heat in the sky.

A layer of sunset played over the angels' dagger.

The Red Plum Falling Fire had exploded over Yan Ling and only burned her.

The Gorgon Teeth crumbled and recovered just like a pile of toy bricks.

The Gorgon Teeth had absorbed all of the damage and pain. As such, Yan Ling had not even felt the heat of the flames.

But as she watched the beautiful plum flowers blooming before her, she felt a strange sensation come over her. It was as though she was about to lose her life to these flames.

The flames had been enhanced too much and absorbed two Red Plum Falling Fire flames.

Everything happened in a split second.

All the spikes on You Changjian's arms and legs had fallen off, and only one of his fangs remained.

Moreover, the Red Plum Falling Fire was about to be extinguished.

Yet, You Changjian still could not find it in himself to smile because the Heaven Crimson Fire's attack had also arrived.

The flame angels produced by the Heaven Crimson Fire were also enhanced by the Elite Guard's Burning Thearch Will.

Yan Ling took almost 40 seconds to remove Scapegoat Hug from Cai Huo.

She ignored the fact that the residual Red Plum Falling Fire would burn the Purple Grudge Demon Flower and ordered it to wrap around her.

Cai Huo gnashed his teeth and instructed his two main feys to stand defensively in front of Yan Ling.

He only kept one main fey in front of him to protect himself.

Just like how she had protected him, he now had to protect her because it would be the equivalent of protecting himself.

Cai Huo was well aware of the fact that if not for the link between the Gorgon Threads and Yan Ling and You Changjian's sacred source lifeforms, he would not be a favored expert.

Even if his other feys died, he would be able to continue enjoying the favor of royalty as long as his sacred source lifeform was still alive.

Moreover, the God of Fools had concocted a potion that could recover the spiritual energy that a spirit qi professional had used to contract a fey that had died.

This potion was a precious secret in the Freedom Federation, and only the God of Fools had access to it.

People would swoop in from all corners to fight over it if it was leaked.

Cai Huo felt that as long as they could win this battle, the God of Fools would definitely give him the potion.

Before Cai Huo could think further, the rapidly incoming flame angels swung the first sword that came with Heaven Arbitrage.

1756 Yan Ling's Death!

With the Fire Lava Sand Insect, the Fiery Sky Hou's Dreamland of Fire, and the Elite Guard's Burning Thearch Will, the flame angels' power had reached almost Myth III.

Zong Ze had used up all the spiritual power in his body for these two attacks.

The Fiery Sky Hou's attack was over.

In this battle, the Heaven Crimson Fire's attack was Zong Ze's swan song. He had so little spiritual power that he could not participate in the rest of the fight.

The flame angels slashed down at Yan Ling who had just emerged from the Red Plum Falling Fire.

The first strike left a large gash in the Purple Grudge Demon Flower and cut through Yan Ling's armor to expose skin.

You Changjian needed to make a choice.

Yan Ling was currently using the Gorgon Clam to inject vitality into herself to recover from the damage dealt by the flame angels.

Meanwhile, the Gorgon Teeth was still taking on all the damage.

However, if the Gorgon Teeth broke and it was not healed with vitality, there was a slim chance of it recovering.

As such, he needed to make a choice between Yan Ling and his sacred source lifeform.

Should he abandon his sacred source lifeform to try and save Yan Ling or prioritize his sacred source lifeform?

However, the flame angels did not give You Changjian time to mull over his decision.

Every one of the flame angels' attacks carried Heaven Arbitrage and was hot enough to break armor.

Under the onslaught of attacks, Yan Ling let out a grunt within the Purple Grudge Demon Flower's embrace.

It was not because her body had been harmed but that the Purple Grudge Demon Flower had been chopped into pieces by the flame angels.

The death of her fey would damage her spirit.

As the flame angels' flaming swords continued slashing down at the vine-covered Yan Ling, the latter did her best to hold out.

However, the two 12-winged angels were already charging at Yan Ling with their staffs raised.

As the two angels swung their staffs, they left a trail of blinding red flames.

When the flames made contact with Yan Ling, they quickly roasted her body into charcoal.

At that moment, Zong Ze could sense a chill and metallic odor mixed with the continuous underground explosions.

It was then that Zong Ze immediately knew that Qian Yu had just fallen for Liu Jie's scheme and was about to emerge from underground.

Once Qian Yu emerged, he would definitely rush to Yan Ling's aid.

Thus, he needed to kill Yan Ling within the next three seconds.

Zong Ze gnashed his teeth and injected the spirit qi that Gao Feng had just replenished for him into the Heaven Crimson Fire.

Soon, all the flame angels charged in with a suicidal attack.

A huge portion of Yan Ling's body had been burned to ashes. It was clear that she had not completely burned up yet because a lifeform was protecting her.

The lifeform was the intermediate devil she had formed a contract with.

You Changjian did not immediately use the Gorgon Teeth's Teeth's Gift on Yan Ling.

The Gorgon Teeth had already been seriously injured when it saved Yan Ling.

You Changjian's well of spiritual power was almost running on empty.

Yan Ling had died and Zong Ze's attack was successful.

Since there were still some remaining flame angels, Zong Ze instructed the remaining seven or eight flame angels to attack Cai Huo.

At that moment, water flooded the ground.

The water that was permeated by frigidity instantly extinguished the volcano produced by the sleeping Fire Lava Sand Insect.

Liu Jie sensed through the Insect Queen that all the insects underground, including the Hypha Tapeworm and Fire Lava Sand Insect, had died. Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

Liu Jie's pupils contracted.

He had lost the one and only Fire Lava Sand Insect in the Radiance Federation, but there was no point crying over spilled milk.

Luckily, the Spirit Guards still had another of the Hypha Tapeworm.

Liu Jie's current battle style was very dependent on the Hypha Tapeworm as it had become a pillar of the insect army.

It could multiply the scale of the insect army by several times. As such, Liu Jie would be seriously affected if he lost the Hypha Tapeworm.

At that moment, Zuo Ming returned to Night Leaning Moon's side after being gone for ten minutes.

He said to her solemnly, "Lordess Chief Guard, the Spirit Guard currently stationed at the Spirit Guards' land just sent news that the two Parasite Decay Locusts in the Spirit Guards' land have died with no explanation. Their bodies are completely unharmed, but their souls are missing for some reason."

Night Leaning Moon's brow furrowed deeply.

She remembered the ability Clan Adjudication that Lu Ou had used not long ago to kill the entire colony of the Parasite Decay Locusts.

But she never imagined that the two Parasite Decay Locusts in the Spirit Guards' land would die as well.

Given the circumstances, it seemed that Clan Adjudication did not just target the colony produced by one fey but every single fey in the world of the same species.

Even Night Leaning Moon who had gained power beyond Eternal had never heard of such an ability.

No one noticed the episode that Night Leaning Moon was going through as everyone was focused on the battle.

At that moment, Li Yang's expression was very stony.

Yan Ling was dead. She had been the heart of the link between her, Cai Huo, and You Changjian.

The Mirror God was very fond of the link between the three sacred source lifeforms. It would be very difficult for Li Yang to compensate the Mirror God for this loss.

Without Yan Ling, Cai Huo and You Changjian's bodies were so empty of spiritual power that they no longer had any strong combat power.

Moreover, two of Cai Huo's feys had died protecting Yan Ling.

However, the person that Li Yang was the most displeased with was Qian Yu.

Li Yang always felt that Black was a threat.

Lu Ou had used the Disaster World Faceless Beast on Black, but the Disaster World Faceless Beast had not held back the latter for long.

Additionally, Lu Ou had to continuously inject spiritual power into the Disaster World Faceless Beast's body.

This was enough to demonstrate how strong Black was.

Lu Ou had done the right thing by taking Black seriously.

But what had Qian Yu done?

Liu Yifan had been supporting his team right from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Qian Yu failed to injure anyone with the Cambria Abundant Fish and wasted a large amount of You Changjian's spiritual power.

1757 Silver Liu Jie!

If You Changjian's store of spiritual power was at maximum capacity, there was no way that they would not be able to hold out whilst he and Yan Ling were fused with their devils.

If the Goddess of Mercy did not favor Qian Yu, Li Yang would get his revenge on him after the battle.

Given such circumstances, it would be impossible for him to fulfill the goal of him coming to the Radiance Federation.

The Goddess of Mercy's expression did not change in the slightest. It was as though the people who had just died were not elites of the Freedom Federation.

Ever since the battle began, the Goddess of Mercy's cold eyes had been fixed on Qian Yu. It seemed that she had been worried that Qian Yu would use the Diving Songstress' mermaid bloodline.

The entire audience on Star Web was cheering uproariously.

There were already posts on Star Web analyzing the sacred source lifeforms.

This showed how terrifying the link between the three sacred source lifeforms was.

The audience on Star Web had been worried. But now that their team had managed to kill a member of the other team and break the link between the three sacred source lifeforms, the audience was over the moon.

Lu Shuang had tried to analyze the battle before the group battle began.

But once the fighting truly began, Lu Shuang was left speechless as she was not a Creation Master. Moreover, the battle went beyond her understanding.

Although Lu Shuang was silent throughout the entire live stream, the audience was hurrahing excitedly.

Cultivating to be a Celestial Goes Against Nature: Lord Zong Ze is so cool! He killed his opponent with two attacks! If only he could produce a few more of those attacks, victory would be assured!

Good Night is Affection: What are you saying? Can't you tell that those two attacks left Lord Zong Ze in an exhausted heap on the ground? He laid his life on the line for the sake of the team by producing those two attacks!

Love You 3,000: It's not all to Lord Zong Ze's credit that he managed to produce such an attack. Lord Black, Lord Liu Yifan, and Lord Liu Jie helped as well!

Time is Merciless: The longer I watch this match, the more worried I become. When will this fight be over? I hope the Radiance Federation team's five members can come out of it as healthily as they were when they started!

Before the excitement on Star Web could kick into full swing, the purplish-black water that was rising from the sand stole all of their breaths.

Suddenly, something underwater trapped the Fiery Sky Hou.

It threw the Fiery Sky Hou up into the air, and a purplish-black wave soon crashed into the Fiery Sky Hou's body.

The wave was like a knife that cleaved the Fiery Sky Hou in half in an instant, save for a hair that joined the two halves together.

If not for the strong vitality of the Fiery Sky Hou, the attack would have taken its life. Alas, it would be very difficult for the Fiery Sky Hou to recover from such an injury.

As heartbroken and sorrowful Zong Ze was, he did not allow his emotions to cloud his mind.

Gao Feng had exposed his hidden weapon and used the Yellow Spring Lily's exclusive skill.

At that instant, the Yellow Spring Lily deteriorated into a near-dead state while the Fiery Sky Hou recovered to full health.

Blue Lotus' blessing could sense the murderous intent of the purplish-black water against Lin Yuan, so the lotus leaves bloomed again.

Liu Jie helped Zong Ze up and hurriedly rushed to Lin Yuan's side.

The lotus leaves swiftly absorbed the energy from the purplish-black water, and five lotus flowers grew out of the lotus leaves this time.

As the five lotus flowers slowly bloomed, the lotus leaves completely absorbed the elemental energy within the purplish-black water.

Soon, countless waves and various attacks sailed toward the lotus flowers next to Lin Yuan.

However, these attacks were all water-type and were immediately absorbed by the lotus flowers once they made contact.

Qian Yu's enraged attack had been countered again. This time, it had been exponentially reduced.

Qian Yu was helpless. He now looked completely different than before as he stood between the Cambria Abundant Fish and the Deep Freeze King Eel.

His silver pupils were full of vehemence, and demonic purple scales covered his body.

Devil tattoos that had not arisen on Yan Ling and You Changjian's faces now surfaced on Qian Yu's face.

Although the devil that Qian Yu had contracted was intermediate, it was almost at higher.

Since he could not use water-type attacks, Qian Yu planned on unleashing annihilation through other methods.

Although Liu Yifan's feys were uninjured, his store of spiritual power was running low after helping the insect army to restrain Qian Yu and continuously utilizing the Peach Prosper Jay to use Elite Guard Return.

There was not much that Liu Yifan could do to help.

Cai Huo and You Changjian walked over to Qian Yu with stormy expressions.

All of them were ready to use their feys to fight to the death.

Yan Ling's death made Cai Huo and You Changjian aware that they not only had to win this battle but also win with flying colors.

Otherwise, even if the two of them managed to survive this battle, they would meet their end when they returned to the Freedom Federation.

Although Yan Ling was dead, Zong Ze was also unable to continue battling. Meanwhile, Lin Yuan and Lu Ou were stuck at an impasse.

Only Liu Yifan the defender and Zong Ze the support were left, besides the only attacker Liu Jie.

As such, Liu Jie knew that it was time for him to perform.

He knew that Lin Yuan wanted to protect the Radiance Federation, even if it meant that he would have to pay with his life.

But now, Liu Jie did not mind placing his future or even life on the line to use his sacred source lifeform.

The Insect Queen had been hiding within the Dimensional Light Moth's abdomen.

Liu Jie waved his hand at the Dimensional Light Moth, and the Insect Queen flapped its six wings before flying out of the Dimensional Light Moth's abdomen. Vissit novelbin.c.𝒐m for updates

The Goddess of Mercy raised an eyebrow when she saw the six-winged fairy that had not even reached Myth Breed appear.

Her gaze shifted from Qian Yu to the Insect Queen, and she now had the gaze of a collector that had just found her new object of desire.

Liu Jie glanced at Lin Yuan before he said to the Insect Queen, "I'm sorry."

The Insect Queen hugged Liu Jie and gently kissed his face.

At the same moment that Cai Huo, You Changjian, and the transformed Qian Yu lunged, Liu Jie lit up with a brilliant silver.

Liu Jie's eyes, skin, and hair also turned bright silver as an unusual aura emanated from within him.

Night Leaning Moon could not help but close her eyes.

1758 The Insect Queen's Transformation!

Night Leaning Moon was Liu Jie's Master and the one who had guided him to form his marrow contract with his sacred source lifeform.

She was not as secretive as the Moon Empress, and Liu Jie did not have the ability to evolve his own sacred source lifeform like Lin Yuan did.

Thus, when Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform let out its first cry after he formed a marrow contract with it, Night Leaning Moon immediately became aware of Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform's abilities.

In order to find a sacred source lifeform that could complement Liu Jie, Night Leaning Moon had even dug around among the sacred source lifeforms that came from a Class 5 alien insect dimensional rift.

Although not even Class 5 Creation Masters could look through the rainbow exterior of sacred source lifeforms to see what attributes the sacred source lifeform had, one would notice with experience that the intensity of the rainbow light differed with different sacred source lifeforms.

One would realize with experience that the sacred source lifeform within would be more special and powerful when the rainbow light was more intense.

The desire to accept a desire only arose within Night Leaning Moon after she saw the Moon Empress accept Lin Yuan.

But after taking Liu Jie as her disciple, she felt a sense of responsibility and duty for him. Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

At that time, she realized why the Moon Empress doted on Lin Yuan and why she was even more upset when Lin Yuan was injured than when she herself was injured.

After she accepted Liu Jie, Night Leaning Moon also wanted to give him all the best things.

In the past century, the Radiance Federation had collected a total of 17 sacred source lifeforms from Class 5 alien insect dimensional rifts.

Amongst these 17 sacred source lifeforms, one of them had a rainbow light that was at least twice as intense as the others.

Night Leaning Moon did not hesitate before she picked this sacred source lifeform.

This was why she gave him so many precious items to protect his soul even before he had formed the marrow contract with his sacred source lifeform.

Although Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform was indeed powerful, it was too unique.

When it was used, it would impact both Liu Jie and the Insect Queen.

Only Liu Jie's future and the Insect Queen's current state would be affected if it was not used to a great extent.

But if it was used too much, it was likely that Liu Jie would end up just like Yan Ling, dead on the battlefield.

Night Leaning Moon would not even blink before sacrificing herself for the sake of the Radiance Federation.

But now, as she was looking at her disciple readying himself to give up his life for the sake of the Radiance Federation's honor, Night Leaning Moon could not help but be reluctant.

She suddenly felt that she had said something wrong.

Liu Jie could actually fight for one of the spots to be a Radiance Envoy.

Although Liu Jie saw himself as Lin Yuan's retainer first, he still felt the same sense of patriotism toward the Radiance Federation.

When Liu Jie's body started glowing with silver light, the Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and the Bamboo Monarch frowned.

All their eyes instinctively looked toward Night Leaning Moon.

The expression on the Goddess of Mercy's face now resembled one of pain after the object of one's desire had changed.

The audience on Star Web could not experience the sorrow that coursed through Liu Jie when he summoned his sacred source lifeform. As such, they were elated to see him using his secret weapon.

If the battle did not have so much on the line, the audience on Star Web would be discussing why Liu Jie had apologized to his six-winged fairy.

When Qian Yu attacked Liu Jie, he compressed the devil in his body.

Two bumps pushed out from Qian Yu's head, but no horns sprouted, black and blue devil tattoos covered his purple skin, and his silver eyes became even more bewitching.

Clearly, he was using an entrancing and seducing spiritual control on Liu Jie.

However, Qian Yu soon realized that something was wrong.

The ability of a Myth II devil had no effect on a B-rank spirit qi professional who did not even have a Myth Breed fey.

Qian Yu instinctively furrowed his brow and said, "Impossible!"

At the center of the silver light, Liu Jie said, "There's no such thing as impossible in this world. Strength is not only linked to power. It's also related to how high of a price one is willing to pay."

Liu Jie looked longingly at the Insect Queen again. He knew that once he used his ability, the Insect Queen would never be the same again.

When Liu Jie apologized to the Insect Queen again, it pushed its hair behind its shoulder and flew over to Liu Jie.

A smile spread across its usually shy face. It was as though she hoped that Liu Jie would remember this version of it.

Liu Jie looked deeply into the Insect Queen's eyes again before a silver seed appeared in front of him.

There were thousands of types of insects crawling all over the seed. It was as though the seed was the aegis of all insects.

Once the insects crawled into the seed, the seed would be able to provide them with a happy and safe haven.

The silver seed was like a light silver crystal, and it was a thousand times more beautiful than a gallery exhibit.

Liu Jie gnashed his teeth and tossed the seed to the Insect Queen.

The Insect Queen spread its arms and caught the seed. At that same moment, Liu Jie injected spiritual power into the Insect Queen.

The Insect Queen's body lit up with the same silver that encompassed Liu Jie.

But its silver light was much more ferocious than that of Liu Jie.

A silver pillar that rose from the earth to the sky broke apart the gossamer clouds in the sky.

If the Mountain River Grain God Bells had not formed a dome over the area, it was likely that the citizens living in a 100-kilometer radius around the Radiance Sacred Hall would be able to see the silver light.

The silver light overwhelmed the purplish-black water, and countless small insects crawled all over the sea of sand.

It was as though the sea of sand was the playground of all the small insects.

Behind Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy, the eyes of the young man with plain features and a black candle with a purple flame within his gaze changed.

He mumbled in a voice so low that not even Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy could hear him, "When the sacred source lifeform was activated, it didn't use an ability but created a territory. Can it be that there's a stupid Dictator in the alien insect dimensional world that died after reaching the Turning Wheel Realm?

"However, it will be too much for a human contractor to use the abilities of such a powerful sacred source lifeform unless someone can continuously supply him with vitality. Hehe, it looks like the Radiance Federation will lose one of their prodigies after all."

1759 Lin Yuan Gives it His All!

As he looked at the silver light in front of him, You Changjian unleashed his devil's ability.

You Changjian's two feys supported Qian Yu and Cai Huo while spitting out large white bone spikes from its mouth.

Besides Lin Yuan and Lu Ou, who were in a stalemate, Zong Ze was the only Creation Master present.

Zong Ze said to Liu Jie through their Connected Tails link, "Liu Jie, I can't sense the opponent's ability while they're fused with their devil. But I can come up with guesses according to the attacks released by the devil!

"If the attack touches you or the Insect Queen, You Changjian will be able to receive the same amount of spiritual power that you currently have in your body. Moreover, the target that sustains the attack will supply You Changjian with vitality for some time."

Zong Ze was a Class 4 Creation Master, so his analysis was irrefutable. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

You Changjian's devil had started out as lower. Although it had evolved to intermediate, its base was still a lower demon. Thus, it was unable to gain too much power.

However, this ability was considered very strong for a lower devil that had evolved to intermediate.

The ability that Yan Ling used when she was fused with her devil would be able to hunt and kill in a large area.

However, it was not very useful in a battle between experts.

Liu Jie did not act after he received Zong Ze's information.

When the bone spikes flying out from You Changjian's throat pierced through the silver light and landed on Liu Jie's body, a hand covered with insect armor reached out and caught the bone spike.

The hand gently squeezed the bone spike and crushed it into powder.

Soon, a 1.7-meter-tall girl stepped out of the silver light.

She seemed to be covered in the latest technology related to insects.

She held a large and long spike in her right hand. It seemed to be the same shape as the horn of the legendary Sovereign Halberd Rhinoceros Beetle.

The girl charged at Qian Yu with the spike pointed straight at him.

Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform was called the Emperor Core of All Insects.

It was special to all insect-species feys.

Human experts could be known as kings, emperors, thearchs, honorables, sovereigns, and even gods. However, they were all merely symbols of status and did not come with any special connotations.

However, 'emperor' had a special connotation to insects.

Any insect from dimensional worlds that could become Apostles would take the image of a woman when they obtained their source sacred body.

Not every female alien insect Dictator could have the title of 'emperor'.

It went without saying that Liu Jie and Night Leaning Moon had no clue about these facts.

The Emperor Core of All Insects was like the savior or protector of all insect-species feys.

However, the cost of the protection would be that the insect-species fey that fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects would continuously lose its vitality.

Once it ran out of vitality, it would go on to burn up the ability to procreate, which had always been the characteristic ability of all insect-species feys.

This meant that after the Insect Queen fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects and was not supplied with vitality, it would eventually lose its ability to produce armies of insects.

The Insect Queen was Liu Jie's only fey. If the Insect Queen could not produce insect armies, Liu Jie would not have any fey left that he could use.

The Insect Queen's psychotoxin came from its procreation gland.

Once the Insect Queen lost its procreative ability, Liu Jie would not be able to use the Insect Queen's psychotoxin to take control of insect-species carcinoma feys anymore.

Nonetheless, Liu Jie still decided to go ahead with the attack.

Zong Ze's eyes turned red when he saw Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform. It was the exact same shade of red as the Red Plum Falling Fire that was used against Yan Ling.

Zong Ze had already used his Creation Master ability to check on Liu Jie. As such, he already knew how much Liu Jie was contributing and estimated Liu Jie's future.

But there was nothing that Zong Ze could do at that moment.

The Insect Queen was able to produce such a powerful attack after fusing with the sacred source lifeform because a large amount of the Insect Queen's vitality had already been burned up.

The amount of vitality in the Insect Queen's body would drop until none was left, and its procreative ability would be breached unless there was some sort of source of vitality in this mountain that Liu Jie could tap into.

However, not even the Peach Prosper Jay that had already reached the Desolate bloodline could release such healing effects using Heartless.

The Peach Prosper Jay's ability Heartless worked when it became heartless against a target, and the battle skirt and miniature Peach Prosper Jay on the target would move away from it.

These defensive effects would transform into healing vitality and enter a target.

After Zong Ze understood Liu Jie's situation, Liu Yifan immediately instructed the Peach Prosper Jay to use Infidelity.

The miniature Peach Prosper Jay next to him flew away, and he was replenished with a large amount of spiritual power.

Liu Yifan injected all of this spiritual power into the Peach Prosper Jay.

The Peach Prosper Jay landed on the armor of the silver girl, and a light green peach tree bloomed next to her.

A large number of peach flowers fell as the Peach Prosper Jay used Heartless time after time to replenish the Insect Queen's vitality.

It also used Prosperous Jade Feeding to make the Insect Queen invincible, as well as Expansive Water Protection against Qian Yu to weigh him down and annoy him.

However, even after Liu Yifan used up all his spiritual power and the Peach Prosper Jay was focused on only helping Liu Jie, the Insect Queen would still run out of vitality after only two minutes.

Lin Yuan had been engaged in a battle against the Disaster World Faceless Beast in his soul as his mind, spirit, and soul were all under attack. As such, he could not use True Data to check on the abilities of Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform.

However, he could sense Liu Yifan, Gao Feng, Zong Ze, and Liu Jie through Connected Tails.

He sensed Liu Jie's situation through their link and decided to go all out.

He wanted to see if the fact that he had two souls, as well as a shrine that collected faith power in his soul, could defeat the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

1760 Lu Ou's Full Form!

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly heard Morbius say, "Yuan, the Disaster World Faceless Beast is rather special. It managed to slither into your soul! Only one of your souls has contracted a sacred source lifeform. The other space is still available. If I use my roots to fortify your soul, we should be able to trap it."

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He was well aware that he had been restrained by the Disaster World Faceless Beast for too long.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast had reached Suzerain X/Myth I. It was only one step away from pinnacle Myth I.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast first used Deepened Curse Imprint to intensify the effects of its curse and enthrall Lin Yuan's mind, spirit, and soul. Next, it used Disaster Warning and Disaster Heart on Lin Yuan's soul.

!

Lin Yuan had consumed the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and Earth Center Fine Milk. He was considered extremely powerful for his age.

Nonetheless, he still could not regain control of his mind even after Morbius used Calm Mind multiple times. He felt as though his body was about to slip out of his control at any moment.

However, Lin Yuan did not immediately attack the Disaster World Faceless Beast because he wanted to try and eliminate the Disaster World Faceless Beast while it was within him.

If the Disaster World Faceless Beast used Steal the Fate of a Nation and Fate of Chaos in the Radiance Federation, it would affect the fortunes of every lifeform.

In the past, Lin Yuan did not put much stock into luck.

After all, he was a transmigrant.

However, the appearance of one fortuitous fey after another had slowly changed his mind.

The most convincing of these feys had been the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow that now nested in the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.

The Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow brought good luck to everyone within the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Thus, Lin Yuan had to keep the Disaster World Faceless Beast from escaping from his body so that it would not damage the Radiance Federation's fate to boost itself.

As such, despite the fact that Lin Yuan's spiritual energy had been under the Disaster World Faceless Beast's constant attack, he did not counterattack using Genius' Spiritual Energy Expansion.

Lin Yuan led the Disaster World Faceless Beast to his soul that had not formed a contract with a sacred source lifeform. His intention was to use the shrine to take on the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

But now, Morbius said that it could fortify Lin Yuan's soul to seal off the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Even if it could not completely seal off the Disaster World Faceless Beast, it would at least prevent Lu Ou from using it for the rest of the battle. If this could be accomplished, Lin Yuan would be satisfied.

Frankly, Lin Yuan was very curious about the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Its species was faceless beast-species and furred beast-species. This meant that just like Chimey and Genius, the Disaster World Faceless Beast had evolved from another fey.

After this event, Lin Yuan would release the Disaster World Faceless Beast from his soul and carefully examine it. He might be able to find out the crux of its nurturing process.

Nonetheless, these were all thoughts he had.

Presently, he did not have time to ponder over this because his mind was fully fixed on Liu Jie.

After the Disaster World Faceless Beast entered Lin Yuan's soul, it used Disaster Heart and Disaster Warning again. It also used Heart Stolen Soul Photographed in an attempt to control Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was not the only one who was anxious, as Lu Ou was feeling the same.

Given the current situation, the Freedom Federation team was at a disadvantage.

Lin Yuan fought against the agony of the Disaster World Faceless Beast's attack on his soul and manipulated the shrine in his soul to slam into the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The golden dots of light within the shrine were very affectionate toward Lin Yuan's soul but despised the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The golden dots swiftly filled up Lin Yuan's soul and trapped the Disaster World Faceless Beast in a corner.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast could attack the mind, spirit, and soul, but it was clearly unfamiliar with faith power.

Lu Ou could sense the abnormalities with the Disaster World Faceless Beast and increased the rate at which spiritual power entered the Disaster World Faceless Beast's body.

At that moment, Lin Yuan finally instructed Genius to use Spiritual Energy Expansion.

The waterfall of spiritual energy from the Disaster World Faceless Beast crashed into the shrine continuously.

At that moment, Lin Yuan's spiritual energy was linked up with that of Genius.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast wanted to use its spiritual energy to scour out a pool.

Yet, the waterfall met with an ocean.

The attack from the shrine rebuffed the Disaster World Faceless Beast and caused it to let out a shrill howl within Lin Yuan's soul.

Lu Ou could sense that something was not right and went ahead with instructing the Disaster World Faceless Beast to use Child and Mother Double Body and Blessing of Mother's Body.

He planned on using the energy from the mother's body to eliminate Lin Yuan. Then, he would be able to take control of the situation and attain victory.

This fight had been dragging on for too long.

Although Lu Ou had issued the order to Disaster World Faceless Beast, and it had used both Child and Mother Double Body as well as Blessing of Mother's Body, it could not link up with its mother to receive energy from it.

This was because one second before the Disaster World Faceless Beast used the two abilities, a red and golden light flooded Lin Yuan's soul and broke the Disaster World Faceless Beast's connection to the outside world.

Lu Ou's spiritual energy had not been damaged. This meant that the Disaster World Faceless Beast was still alive. Yet, Lu Ou was unable to reach it through its spiritual energy.

Lu Ou suddenly opened his eyes.

Blood red vapor muddled with black mushroomed out into the surroundings with Lu Ou at the center.

The four black horns jutting out of Lu Ou's head extended, and blood patterns surfaced all over it.

There were now flecks of red in Lu Ou's silver hair.

Lu Ou also grew significantly taller.

One long black tail and a pair of black wings sprouted from Lu Ou's back. The thick tail exceeded Lu Ou's height, and there was a layer of black and red crystal barbs covering the surface.

The wings resembled that of a bat species fey but were much larger and thicker. Complex red devil tattoos overlayed the wings.

The devil tattoos automatically released the low noises that were characteristic of devils.

The red devil tattoos on Lu Ou's face crept downward to his collarbone.

1761 Why is Black's Face so Familiar?

Six tadpole-like images appeared within Lu Ou's red pupils.

A bizarre aura poured forth from Lu Ou's body.

Before this, Liu Jie assaulted Qian Yu, Cai Huo, and You Changjian using the Insect Queen that had fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects.

In a moment of carelessness, the spike in the Insect Queen's hand pierced through Cai Huo's body and sliced off two of the Gorgon Threads' arms.

!

Qian Yu was livid when the silver light destroyed the silver web between the two hands.

Qian Yu had a way of countering Liu Jie, but he had sensed Liu Jie's current state.

Given their disadvantage, Qian Yu wanted to use stall tactics to bring down the Insect Queen that had fused with the sacred source lifeform.

If he used force, accidents could happen.

Qian Yu was not a Creation Master but knew that a Suzerain X/Fantasy V fairy source-type lifeform with six wings should not be so powerful, even after fusing with a sacred source lifeform.

The only reason Liu Jie had managed to produce such power was that he had put his money where his mouth was and paid some type of price.

However, he did not expect Cai Huo to be so weak.

Given that two members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence had died under his watch, Qian Yu was humiliated.

Just as Qian Yu was about to attempt to sacrifice the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel and summon the Diving Songstress to put an end to the battle, he suddenly felt all his strength leave his body.

The intermediate devil in his body was in a state of terror.

Qian Yu turned to look at Lu Ou, and a look of shock immediately crossed his face.

Lu Ou had fully unleashed the devil in his body!

Usually, Lu Ou fought with his devil only half-released.

It would be a great burden on his body to fully unleash a higher devil.

What had enraged him to such a degree?

Could it be that the Disaster World Faceless Beast had encountered some type of problem?

After Lu Ou was done transforming, he pointed his fingers tipped with long and sharp black fingernails at Lin Yuan.

In an instant, red energy burst out across the area.

The groups of red energy formed a stomach on the ground.

The red energy around Lin Yuan solidified and started writhing. It was as though it was about to digest Lin Yuan.

At this moment, eight cat tails broke through the stomach.

The eight cat tails were wrapped in light and billowed out across the scorched earth until they reached tens of meters in length.

Those who had seen Lin Yuan use the white tails before all looked surprised now.

When Lin Yuan used the white cat tails in the past, both against Lu Ou and Han Qi, they had been ethereal and intangible. But now, they were very concrete.

At that moment, everyone watched as a beautiful white cat emerged from the stomach with the eight tails behind it.

As the tails danced in the air, the cat meowed in a child-like voice.

However, the child-like voice seemed to encompass the power to link to the heavens.

Genius had used Crowded Cat and gathered all the elemental inclinations and attributes of the over 3,000 cat-species feys in the marsh world onto itself. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

Soon, as the cat tails started to move, a beautiful light was swept up from the ground.

The brilliant light from Genius' tail was different from true light as it consisted of various types of energy.

Normally, it was understood that a fey that had more than five types would be termed an all-type fey.

Given that all-type feys did not specialize and had limited spiritual power, they were usually not very strong.

Luckily, all-type feys usually had above-average looks and were usually kept to be admired.

There were tens of colors in the light from the cat tail.

Within the eight cat tails were light-, dark-, wind-, fire-, water-, earth-, thunder-, electric-, and sound-type. There were even some mutated types.

The numerous belts of energy were whipping around so wildly that even Lu Ou dared not clash against it.

He hurriedly summoned his other two feys to defend himself.

Genius' power had far surpassed that of a Fantasy Breed fey's limit.

Just as Liu Jie had said, one had to pay the price relative to the strength of power released.

However, Genius did not have to pay the price itself.

The 3,000 cat-species feys were paying the price in the marsh world.

The playground of cats in the marsh world had turned into a nursing home as all the recently-healthy cat-species feys had collapsed on the ground.

If not for the fact that the sounds of their breathing could still be heard, it would be assumed that these cats had been suffocated.

Genius took not only the 3,000 Diamond X/Legend feys' elemental affiliations but also their strong attributes.

Genius did not rush up to the feys to kill them. Instead, it slammed four of its eight exceedingly powerful tails into Qian Yu.

Genius' appearance had been outstanding, and all the members of the audience who had been curious about what the eight-tailed cat was now had their curiosities satisfied.

Yet, when they saw the eight-tailed cat's true form, they were more shocked by how talented Black was rather than the eight-tailed cat itself.

However, when the audience and members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence shifted their gaze back to Black, they noticed that his silver mask was gone.

All the people who had been paying attention to Black had been guessing his age and appearance.

Recently, his age was revealed.

As such, the face behind his mask took center stage as the object of the audience's curiosity.

At that moment, Black, the genius of the Radiance Federation, had finally revealed his face.

However, one question popped into the minds of all the members of the audience on Star Web and the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

What the hell? Why is Black's face so familiar!?

1762 Singular Genius!

This! What!? Isn't this Lin Yuan, who was the chosen lucky member of the audience and defeated Meng Xu during the Allstar Match using a beam of red light without even summoning any feys?

They clearly had the same face, but numerous people on Star Web were unwilling or dared not admit to this fact. There were also many people who had expected this and were not surprised in the slightest.

The people who were unwilling to admit this fact were the fans of Lin Yuan and Black, who had debated and argued with each other.

Black had appeared on Star Web because he had protected Millstone Town using a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift and became a savior of the Radiance Federation.

!

There was a rumor that Black had used a healing-type fey at Millstone Town to regrow a person's limb.

Moreover, Black had always been shrouded in mystery and had even broken a historical record on Star Tower.

All of these made him a bona fide genius.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan's appearance had been stunning of meteoric proportions.

Both Lin Yuan and Black had grabbed the spotlight abruptly.

As such, both of them became idolized by a certain group of fans.

But now, the two groups of squabbling fans were realizing that their idols were actually the same person.

Damn it! Does this mean that I've been hurling insults at my idol's other identity for the past six months?

The fans could not help but shrink back their necks in embarrassment. But at the same time, they were also happy as their idols had become even more amazing.

Black and Lin Yuan's fans had started arguing because they were unwilling to admit that both groups' idols were equally impressive. They would not have reacted so vigorously if their idols were being compared to someone mediocre.

They would have said something like, "Haha, how dare trash like you dream of standing on the same stage as our idol!"

The members of Star Web who had expected this outcome had felt for too long that Black and Lin Yuan were too similar.

The only point of uncertainty they had was that Lin Yuan and Black had never used the same feys or the same combat methods.

The two of them were so remarkable, especially considering the power that Black demonstrated afterward, that they completely pulled away Chu Ci's chair at the table. She only had Bronze/Fantasy feys and seemed ordinary in comparison.

As for the members of veteran and top factions who had witnessed Lin Yuan defeat Zong Ze at the Guard Ye Banquet, they were aware of Lin Yuan's identity.

Thus, they never felt that Black could be compared with Lin Yuan.

However, after Black defeated Lu Shuang, they could not help but look at Black in a new light.

When Black used his sacred source lifeform in the life of death Capture the General against Han Qi, the disciples of top and veteran factions realized Black's identity then.

Now, all the disciples of top and veteran factions did not have to continue suspecting the truth as it had been verified.

Given that Black had decided to reveal the truth, he had clearly also decided to reveal his true identity.

Hence, these young disciples of top and veteran factions who rarely spoke out on Star Web started to discuss Black excitedly.

One of them accidentally let slip that Black was the Moon Empress' disciple.

The people who were the happiest when Black's silver mask disappeared were his longtime fans.

They had been pining to find out the face behind the mask for a long time.

However, many of them held the belief that the features behind the mask would be unpleasant. Why else would he cover them up with a mask?

But Black's true face blew all of their minds.

All of them had noted his near-perfect bone structure and aura in spite of his masked face.

But after he removed his mask, they realized that his aura and face were also as close to perfect as humanly perceivable.

His eyebrows were sharp, he had a high nose bridge, and his tightly pursed lips were stiff with fortitude.

It was likely that he had a similar expression when he defended Millstone Town against the insect tide. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, Tan Ran, and Xin Ying had been watching the fight nervously.

When they saw Lin Yuan defeat Han Qi and seemingly gain the upper hand over Lu Ou, the four of them could not help but marvel at his rate of improvement over the last eight months.

Back at Millstone Town, his strongest fey had only been Silver grade.

But now, he had reached the peak of the Radiance Federation's young generation. More importantly, he was only 19 years old.

Now that the four of them were living in the Return from Faraway Mansion, they often had the opportunity to have meals with Lin Yuan. As such, they knew him well.

When they saw his pursed lips, they knew that he was worried and angry.

At the same moment that the eight-tailed white cat slammed its tail at Lu Ou and Qian Yu, the Moon Empress, Bamboo Monarch, Chef Supreme, and the Goddess of Mercy looked shocked.

All of their gazes locked onto Genius.

All four of them were Class 5 Creation Masters, and the Moon Empress even had the capability to be called a Class 6 Creation Master.

As such, they saw through Genius with one glance.

The young man behind the Goddess of Mercy, who had a black candle in his eyes, noticed this and also shifted his gaze to Genius.

However, he did not have Creation Master abilities and could not see Genius' characteristics. Nonetheless, he knew that this white cat was definitely special.

The Moon Empress inhaled sharply.

Although she could not tell from Genius' abilities that it had the ability to be a Creation Master, she acknowledged its endless potential.

She also realized why Lin Yuan had such a high Creation Master level at a young age.

The Moon Empress' gaze snapped to the Goddess of Mercy, and she saw that the Goddess of Mercy was also scrutinizing Lin Yuan.

The Goddess of Mercy raised an eyebrow when she noticed the Moon Empress looking at her.

She flicked her gold and red fishtail, and a look of amusement appeared on her face as she smirked at the Moon Empress.

Murderous malevolence sparked in the Moon Empress' eyes.

However, the Moon Empress did not know that the Goddess of Mercy was not looking at Genius but Lin Yuan.

For some reason, the longer she looked at Lin Yuan, the more the Goddess of Mercy felt her bloodline throb within her.

Although the movement was not as forceful as when Qian Yu fused with the Diving Songstress and triggered its bloodline, the feeling was more emotive and incited her bloodline's fighting spirit.

The cat-species fey was walking down the same unbeaten track as the Disaster World Faceless Beast and was evolving in an extraordinary way.

Nonetheless, it could not give the Goddess of Mercy the same feeling as Lin Yuan did.

1763 Lin Yuan's New Sword Skill!

At first, the Goddess of Mercy had felt a sense of belonging to the Freedom Federation. She would never have been so aloof about the death of a young expert from the Freedom Federation.

But when the Goddess of Mercy broke through that level and started walking down the heaven's path, she had handpicked a group of deep-sea mermaids with special bloodlines in the miniature sea next to the Freedom Mystic Temple.

She had planned to breed and cultivate them so she would be able to use their bloodlines to evolve herself.

However, by the time she came out of seclusion, all the mermaids had died.

The Mirror God had said that the God of Fools had used them to concoct spirit fluids.

Ever since that moment, the Goddess of Mercy resented the God of Fools.

Then, she nurtured one of the experts she favored into a member of royalty, only for him to end up killed by the Moon Empress in a fight.

She had cooperated with the God of Fools' plan. He had not even shown his face, but her hopes ended up dashed.

Ever since then, the Goddess of Mercy found it hard to trust the people around her again.

Even her personality had changed drastically.

She used to keep a low profile. But after gaining the title of 'goddess', she guarded Qian Yu so aggressively that no one around her would dare to target him.

She had had a bad feeling about Qian Yu leading the envoy group to the Radiance Federation. Hence, after receiving news from the envoy group, she decided to make the trip personally.

After numerous instances of what seemed to be coincidences, the Goddess of Mercy became certain that her downfall would be brought about by someone else.

She did not know if it would be the Mirror God or the God of Fools.

She was the most recent expert from the Freedom Federation who had gained the title of 'god'. Thus, there was a significant gap between her and the Mirror God and God of Fools. As such, she could not look into such matters.

But all these resulted in her turning cold toward the Freedom Federation despite being a member of royalty. She now saw everything in the Freedom Federation as her toy.

This was the reason she had decided to recruit Lin Yuan. She wanted to see what was so special about this young man that had attracted her.

She would also find out why the Disaster World Faceless Beast had not emerged after entering his body.

Regardless, she was fully interested in Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had no clue that an expert from the Freedom Federation that was walking down heaven's path had locked in on him.

He was currently using True Data to check on Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform.

[Sacred Source Name: Emperor Core of All Insects

[Sacred Source Species: Source genus/Sacred Source species

[Sacred Source Star Grade: 5 Stars

[Sacred Source Type: Insect

Abilities:

[Final Weapon: Fuse with a lifeform related to insects. The stronger the procreative ability of the lifeform, the stronger the abilities of the fused entity will be. The lifeform's vitality and procreative ability will be used up to become the final shield of all insects.

[Emperor's Revival: By using up a large amount of vitality, the lifeform's genetic model can be triggered to revive the emperor insect's genetic model and will be used on the final weapon. The empress of insects will descend. Before she disappears, the insect-species lifeform will be able to receive the benefit of the empress once.

Lin Yuan unlocked the Vitality Imprint for the first time in a long while. Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

He also did not use his own ability to heal Liu Jie. Instead, he used the Diamond X/Fantasy V Jasmine Lily.

A jade bud swiftly sprouted from the Jasmine Lily's fasciated and complex body.

The Jasmine Lily's crystallized body was like mounds of jade.

Three drops of jade-colored vitality shot toward the Emperor Core of All Insects that had fused with the Insect Queen using Final Weapon.

The three drops of vitality used up 20% of the vitality that Lin Yuan had been storing up.

In an instant, all the vitality that the Insect Queen had used up was replenished.

Almost immediately after, a green beam of light shot out from the jade bud and landed on the fused Final Weapon and Insect Queen to maintain the replenishment.

Liu Jie had been about to use Emperor's Revival. But now, his head snapped to Lin Yuan.

An imprint of a jade-colored lotus flower appeared on the center of Lin Yuan's forehead.

Lu Ou's blood totem crept down his neck and looked extremely malicious.

Lin Yuan's green lotus flower totem also stretched down his neck but appeared full of life and vigor.

When Liu Jie first stepped forward, Lin Yuan was still at an impasse with the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Now, Liu Jie let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Yuan had recovered consciousness. He knew that Lin Yuan had not fallen to the Disaster World Faceless Beast's attack regardless of what had happened.

Liu Jie had already survived passing by the gates of hell with Lin Yuan. At that time, he had given up everything to protect Lin Yuan but had eventually been saved by Lin Yuan instead.

The same thing was happening today.

When Liu Jie had been ready to give up the Insect Queen's procreative ability, Lin Yuan provided him with vitality to maintain Final Weapon.

Liu Jie smiled comfortably at Lin Yuan.

This smile made many spectators feel as though his face was suddenly filled with life and robustness.

"Big Brother Liu, use your sacred source lifeform's second ability! I'll support you," said Lin Yuan.

After Liu Jie heard this, he activated Emperor's Revival without hesitation.

Even when the Insect Queen's body was at maximum capacity of vitality, using Emperor's Revival would immediately drain all of its vitality and procreative ability.

Liu Jie had used Final Weapon and not Emperor's Revival because even with the price of all of the Insect Queen's procreative ability, the empress' state would only be sustained for two seconds.

Liu Jie would only use Emperor's Revival as a last resort or if he had to protect Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had True Data and already knew the price of using Emperor's Revival.

Meanwhile, a sacred sword appeared in Lin Yuan's hand.

However, this sword did not light up with dark light, and no night crows flew out from it.

Rather, it was verdant green.

When Lin Yuan ordered the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to consume the Sacred Cure White Deer's World Crystal, the sword skill he gained was Attack of the Forest Turned Deer.

He had been looking forward to the healing capabilities that the sacred sword would gain.

However, he did not expect Attack of the Forest Turned Deer would turn out not to be a group-support healing-type Sword Skill but an individual healing-type Sword Skill.

Lin Yuan could not help but gasp at how overwhelming Attack of the Forest Turned Deer was. Under what circumstances would he need such a massive amount?

But now, he finally had a reason to use Attack of the Forest Turned Deer.

1764 Link Formed by One Person

This situation made Lin Yuan aware that even the most unorthodox Sword Skill would have its use.

If Attack of the Forest Turned Deer targeted a large area instead of individual targets, it would not be able to provide enough vitality to support the fused Emperor Core of All Insects and Insect Queen's usage of Emperor's Revival.

Lin Yuan felt that Liu Jie's sacred source lifeform was very powerful. Not even the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen could produce attacks as strong as the Emperor Core of All Insects did.

The Insect Queen in the Final Weapon state could suppress the Cambria Abundant Fish, Deep Freeze King Eel, as well as Qian Yu when he was fused with his intermediate devil.

Qian Yu was the third Freedom Envoy, while the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel were pinnacle Myth II. The two feys had also been nurtured using the best methods and were able to roll grades.

This meant that the Insect Queen had reached pinnacle Myth III in its Final Weapon state.

However, it had to be maintained by using up the Insect Queen's vitality.

When Liu Jie firmly gave the instruction for the Emperor Core of All Insects to use Emperor's Revival, the Insect Queen lit up with a blinding silver light again.

The silver light had a crystalline hue and an unspeakable might.

The Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug that Liu Jie had assigned to Lin Yuan sensed the might and let out severe cries before it curled up and knelt to the Insect Queen while still on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Concentrated spiritual energy flowed out from the silver light and vibrated in the air, letting out a noise similar to that of the Insect Queen.

The noise caused the halted insects to become agitated again.

The silver insects within the territory of insects crawled into the silver light in an orderly fashion. It was as though the silver light and insect cries were the last line of defense for every insect in the world.

When Liu Jie instructed the Emperor Core of All Insects to use Emperor's Revival, Lin Yuan's figure suddenly transformed into that of a small white deer amidst the light of vitality.

There were blooming flowers draped all over its long antlers.

At the same moment that the deer stomped on the ground, a patch of green spread over the sea of sand until it reached the silver insects and generated the feeling of a lush forest.

The white deer that Lin Yuan had transformed into galloped over to the Insect Queen and rested next to it.

Lin Yuan had gained Attack of the Forest Turned Deer after the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen absorbed the Sovereign II/Creation I Sacred Cure White Deer's World Crystal.

He had also added the golden ley line pearl to the Sacred Cure World.

Although the Attack of the Forest Turned Deer that Lin Yuan produced only had the power of a Myth III fey, the healing effects were equal to that of the Creation Breed Sacred Cure White Deer.

The Attack of the Forest Turned Deer would cause the person who used it to transform into a deer and attach itself to the target.

At the same moment that he attached himself to the Insect Queen, he became combined with it and provided it with a source of vitality.

The Insect Queen would be able to immediately tap into the source if it needed to do so.

Additionally, Lin Yuan had also made the vitality in the Vitality Imprint, and the spiritual power in his body was available for the Insect Queen's use.

When the silver light dispersed, a completely new Insect Queen revealed itself to the onlookers.

Previously, it had been covered with technologically advanced armor. Now, it was wearing a battle skirt that resembled wings.

It was no longer holding a weapon.

Previously, its face had been similar to that of the Insect Queen in human form. But now, it was a completely different beautiful countenance.

Its eyes were light gold and had an unquestioning dignity.

Its gaze only softened with love when it saw the insects.

Since Lin Yuan had attached himself to the Insect Queen, he had a front-row seat to its situation.

In the Final Weapon form, the Insect Queen had been in charge of the fused body. But now, the soul of the Emperor Core of All Insects had full control of the body.

The Emperor Core of All Insects' soul was so strong that it put the Insect Queen to sleep to prevent it from interfering.

At this moment, the Insect Queen in Emperor's Revival form leaped into the air. Its skirt swayed, and two waves of insect tides barreled toward Lu Ou.

Genius was in peak condition and had only used 1/3 of the elemental affiliations and attributes, putting significant pressure on Qian Yu and Lu Ou. Thê sourc𝗲 of this content n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

Now that the Insect Queen in the Emperor's Revival state was joining the fray, Qian Yu and Lu Ou felt themselves being overwhelmed.

Suddenly, a strange smile spread across Lu Ou's furious face.

When the stomach trapped Lin Yuan, it also encapsulated other areas. The dead Yan Ling, Cai Huo's feys and sacred source lifeforms, as well as the devil in his body, were all digested by the stomach.

You Changjian was still alive, and they had to adhere to the request made by the Radiance Federation.

Otherwise, at the same moment that the Insect Queen killed Cai Huo, Lu Ou would have also eliminated You Changjian.

Yet, when the red stomach disappeared, You Changjian also disappeared.

This caused Zong Ze to look at Lu Ou in shock.

There could only be one possibility to explain this situation—Lu Ou had digested You Changjian.

Suddenly, algae slithered out of Lu Ou's body and connected to Qian Yu.

Bone spikes sprouted out of Lu Ou's tail, spiderwebs appeared between his fingers, and numerous black and red spiders scuttled across the spider web.

Since Lu Ou had digested the bodies of the three sacred source lifeforms through his devil, he now had sole control of the linking ability.

Although Lu Ou had linked up the three sacred source lifeforms' abilities, he still could not compete with the Insect Queen and Genius.

At that moment, Lu Ou opened his mouth and sucked in violently.

Lu Ou swallowed up all the attacks unleashed by the Insect Queen and Genius.

1765 Silver Mirror in Front of the Sacred Sword!

The expression on Lu Ou's face was one of enjoyment.

In spite of the circumstances, neither the Insect Queen nor Genius pulled back their punches. Rather, they released even more attacks in succession to lock Lu Ou in a stalemate.

Liu Jie and Lin Yuan both saw Lu Ou absorb the Insect Queen and Genius' attacks.

However, both of them also knew that there was a limit to the absorption. Once the limit was crossed, Li Ou would collapse.

!

During the stalemate, Genius exhausted the energy it had gained from Crowded Cat, and the Insect Queen also reached its limit in its Emperor's Revival state.

The vitality within the Vitality Imprint had not been fully used up, but the effects of Attack of the Forest Turned Deer were also coming to an end.

Lin Yuan immediately removed his attachment to the Insect Queen.

Under such circumstances, if the Insect Queen continued to use Emperor's Revival, it would lose all of its vitality, as well as its ability to procreate, and die.

Lu Ou had not relaxed in the slightest.

His stomach had inflated generously, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face, wetting the red devil tattoos along its face and neck.

He sensed that he would no longer be able to continue on and shut his mouth, taking on the remainder of Genius and the Insect Queen's attack himself.

Then, he opened his mouth and launched a mass of black and red energy at the Insect Queen.

This was because Lin Yuan had fused with the Insect Queen and the Insect Queen was more of a threat than Genius was.

Lin Yuan had remained in communication with Genius through Connected Tails.

Lin Yuan swung the sword again and sent sparks flying toward the mass of black and red energy.

Anyone who saw this would know that Lu Ou had used the devil's ability to swallow up the Insect Queen and Genius' attacks, then transformed it into energy that it used in its own attack.

Even Liu Yifan looked shocked by the mass of black and red energy as it had broken through the limit of Myth Breed feys and had reached Creation Breed fey power.

Although Lin Yuan had received the attack with the sacred source lifeform in his hand, Liu Yifan wondered if Black would be able to come out of it unscathed once he made contact with the energy,

Even the Peach Prosper Jay would be heavily injured or end up in a near-dead state if it had to take on that mass of black and red energy.

If a spirit qi professional was the target of the attack, there was no question that they would be instantly vaporized.

At that moment, the Moon Empress clenched her fists tightly.

If she was not aware that Blood New Moon was hiding in Lin Yuan's hair, she would have already stepped in impulsively.

Liu Jie rushed toward Lin Yuan in a hysteric state. But no matter how quickly he ran, there was no way he would be able to outrun the mass of black and red energy.

The entire audience on Star Web held their breaths. Many of them even closed their eyes so they would not have to witness Lin Yuan's death.

At that moment, those who were still keeping their eyes open saw that just as Lin Yuan was about to make contact with the energy, his sword lit up with blinding radiance, and a gigantic silver mirror materialized behind him.

There were two floating turtles pictured in the silver mirror.

The turtle shell's reflective ability was even stronger than that of a mirror. It clearly reflected the black and red mass of energy.

Everyone had been astonished when the devil that Lu Ou activated swallowed the Insect Queen and Genius' attacks.

Lu Ou had clearly struggled when he absorbed those attacks. But the turtles in the mirror had absorbed the mass of black and red energy with much more ease.

Lin Yuan had used Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack against Lu Ou's attack. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

The Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack's effects came from the Simulation World absorbing the power of the attack and injecting it into the Sacred Sword. The Sacred Sword would then be able to replicate the attack and use it against the opponent.

It would be able to absorb energy up to a certain limit and release the stored energy at any time.

Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack was the most dynamic of all the Sword Skills.

Lin Yuan had given most of the golden ley line pearls to the Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack and used a large amount of source-type power to develop the golden ley line pearls.

Although the Simulation World only had five complete ley lines and the other three needed a few more months before they could be complete, Lin Yuan could already use Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack to defend the attack of a Suzerain/Creation VI fey.

As such, it was no trouble to absorb the mass of black and red energy that had barely reached Creation-level power.

There were now blue and red beams of energy within the mirror.

Lin Yuan pointed his sword directly at Qian Yu and unleashed all the energy from Lu Ou's attack.

This attack not only stupefied the Moon Empress and the other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty but the spectators watching on Star Web as well.

With one attack, Lin Yuan completely turned the tables.

However, no one dared to write a single comment as they were all focused on waiting to see if the Freedom Federation would manage to stand up against Lin Yuan's attack.

Lin Yuan had deliberately chosen to direct the attack at Qian Yu instead of Lu Ou.

Lu Ou had fused with a higher devil, but he was also a B-rank spirit qi professional.

Besides the Disaster World Faceless Beast, the two feys he summoned were both Diamond X/Fantasy V.

Meanwhile, Qian Yu was an A-rank spirit qi professional whose feys had all reached Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth II.

Lin Yuan would only be able to take down Qian Yu using the Sword Skills.

However, there was a limit to the number of times he could use the Sword Skills. Besides the Attack of the Sea Leaping Whale, Lin Yuan only had two unused Sword Skills.

This meant that if he did not use exceptional methods, he would only be able to release three attacks at Qian Yu.

Hence, Lin Yuan wanted to use the reflected black and red energy to kill the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel.

1766 Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes!

The Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel had not used up much spiritual power against the insect tide.

No matter how ferocious the insect tide had been, they were still much weaker than the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel.

Most of the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel's spiritual power had been used up against the Insect Queen.

When Liu Jie instructed the Emperor Core of All Insects to use Emperor's Revival, Lu Ou had used his devil's ability to absorb the Insect Queen and Genius' attack.

!

Hence, although Qian Yu appeared in a sorry state when he took on the Insect Queen and both the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel had been left with numerous holes after being pierced by the Insect Queen's long spike, the two feys had only sustained external injuries.

They still had a significant amount of spiritual power in their bodies.

Liu Yifan had instructed the Peach Prosper Jay to protect his four teammates from the beginning and then did his best to support Zong Ze and the insect tide.

He was running very low on spiritual power.

However, Qian Yu hesitated to use his main feys' abilities because he was afraid that the sea he generated would affect his teammates.

But now that Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian had all been eaten by Lu Ou, there was no reason for Qian Yu to continue holding back.

Qian Yu dared not let his guard down against the incoming black and red energy mass.

He immediately used the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel to block the attack.

He had considered fleeing but had noticed that the silver mirror was showing a reflected image of the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel.

As such, the black and red energy mass would head toward the targets reflected in the mirror.

No matter how quickly the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel moved, they would not be able to escape the mirror's reflection.

Frankly, Qian Yu had another option: separate the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel. This would force the mirror to pick from one of the two feys to reflect, so Qian Yu would be able to preserve one of his feys by sacrificing the other.

However, Qian Yu did not choose to do so because he was afraid that Lin Yuan would turn the mirror toward him instead of choosing one of the feys.

Additionally, Qian Yu could not bear for any one of his feys to die.

He weighed his options and decided to see if his two pinnacle Myth II feys would be able to defend the mass of black and red energy.

After Qian Yu issued his order, the Cambria Abundant Fish used Cambria Descend again.

But this time, the Cambria Abundant Fish carefully adjusted the size of the sea produced so that it would stay 50 meters away from Lin Yuan. Qian Yu did this because he was afraid that the energy of the sea would be absorbed by the strange lotus leaves and flowers again.

The Cambria Abundant Fish did not use the sea in its attack. Instead, it activated the water-elemental energy to form a thick armor over its red and purple skin.

At the same time, it used its strongest attack, Cambria Aura Release, at the mass of black and red energy.

Meanwhile, the Deep Freeze King Eel thrashed around in the water and produced layers of ripples that intersected and caused the sea to solidify.

At that moment, the Deep Freeze King Eel's Extreme Freeze froze the entire sea.

When Lin Yuan saw how Qian Yu was trying to use such techniques to restrain him, he changed his original plan of attack.

Now that Qian Yu, the Cambria Abundant Fish, and Deep Freeze King Eel were stuck within the ice, there was no way of escaping.

As such, Lin Yuan would not need to worry about aiming the mirror.

Lin Yuan removed the Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack and used the fastest attack in his arsenal.

The Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes came from the Gale Blast World Crystal.

[Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes: Shoot out nine attacks imbued with the power of the Gale Blast World. Every subsequent attack will inflict accumulative damage, and every attack comes with slicing effects that will be able to cut through very hard entities. After ripping the target apart, the target's energy will be absorbed and can be injected into a target. If the first five attacks absorb the target's energy, the latter four attacks will move with increased speed.

After the blood pact ultimate fight against Connected Beast Park, Lin Yuan had collected many World Crystals that came from Creation Breed feys.

The Miao family did not have many thearch-class experts, and many of them had been created by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had obtained over 20 World Crystals from Connected Beast Park.

The Gale Blast World Crystal that came from the Suzerain I/Creation I Wind Demon Dragonfly was not considered impressive. Still, Lin Yuan had never had much resistance against wind-elemental energy.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had gained many combat skills and fighting strategies through the Muscle Hyperthymesia Grass.

He needed to be affiliated with wind-type energy in order to increase his speed.

This was the reason Lin Yuan chose the only World Crystal related to wind out of all the World Crystals he had at his disposal. Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes was even more suited for individual combat than Night Crow Wither Attack was.

According to the information about Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes on True Data, the attack's specialty lay in its speed.

However, Lin Yuan had never tested Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes. Thus, he could not be sure exactly how fast it was.

Lin Yuan chose to use Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes now because he hoped that the attack would break through the solid wall of ice before the mass of black and red energy made contact with it. This would allow the mass of black and red energy to inflict the most damage possible on the targets behind the wall of ice.

Even if it was not faster than the mass of black and red energy, it would be able to aid the effects of Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes.

Both the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel's skin had astounding defense and seemed to counter the effects of Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes.

However, Lin Yuan soon realized that he had underestimated the Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes' speed.

Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes was not as flashy as the other Sword Skills.

The Sacred Sword ripped a gash in the air, and the eardrum-bursting sounds of wind exploded forth from the gash.

Nine dragonflies shot out from the wind so quickly that the human eye could not track them.

They sped off with such force that Lin Yuan was pushed five to six meters back by the recoil and ended up knocking into Liu Jie.

1767 Lu Ou's Frustrated Choice

Lin Yuan knocked into Liu Jie with so much force that Liu Jie started to stagger as well. Nonetheless, Liu Jie reached out to steady Lin Yuan's shoulder so that Lin Yuan did not end up falling to the ground.

But no matter how quickly the dragonflies flew, the mass of black and red energy still reached the wall of ice first.

The mass of energy left a large hole in the wall of ice.

But before the energy dissipated, the nine dragonflies streaked past.

!

When the first dragonfly made contact with the ice, the ice started to crack and created spidery fissures.

After the first dragonfly used up all its energy, it absorbed energy from the ice and injected it into the second dragonfly.

Since the previous dragonfly would inject the energy it absorbed into the dragonfly that came after it, the dragonflies crashed into the ice with increasing power.

The fifth dragonfly broke through almost 50 meters of the ice wall's thickness, revealing Qian Yu, the Cambria Abundant Fish, and the Deep Freeze King Eel that had been encased within.

According to the information about the Sword Skill, after the fifth dragonfly attacked the target, the latter dragonflies' speed would increase.

The boosted final four dragonflies flew so quickly that they left ripples in the air.

All four attacks rammed into the Cambria Abundant Fish.

The specialty of the Nine Needles Cut Wind Spikes was that it would cause nine layers of sequential damage.

The attack from the ninth dragonfly absorbed the energy used up by the Cambria Abundant Fish and Deep Freeze King Eel for defense.

In the wake of the attacks from the nine dragonflies, the Myth II Cambria Abundant Fish was reduced to a pool of blood.

The ninth dragonfly had yet to dissipate, but its color had already dulled significantly.

It passed through the Cambria Abundant Fish's body and headed toward the Deep Freeze King Eel.

Qian Yu was stunned when the Cambria Abundant Fish was killed. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

He was clearly the strongest force present, and both his feys had reached pinnacle Myth II.

His defense should have been impenetrable. How had his defenses been broken?

It would have been easier to digest if his defenses had been broken by the mass of black and red energy as it had come from Lu Ou.

Qian Yu would only have needed to set up such a heavy defense if he was facing a Creation Breed fey.

Presently, there were too many question marks floating around Qian Yu's mind.

The death of the Cambria Abundant Fish resulted in excruciating pain for Qian Yu's spiritual energy.

The last dragonfly had so little energy that it could not cause much damage to the Deep Freeze King Eel. It had not even managed to pierce the Deep Freeze King Eel's skin.

But at this moment, the mass of black and red energy also arrived.

Besides the first impact, the nine dragonflies continued paving the way.

As such, not much of the mass of black and red energy had been used up.

After Yan Ling died, Cai Huo and You Changjian's team no longer had any value.

In order for the team to win the next round, Lu Ou had eaten the dead Yan Ling and Cai Huo, as well as the solely alive but useless You Changjian.

However, there was no way that Lu Ou could abandon Qian Yu.

Qian Yu's secret weapon was the 7 Stars Diving Songstress that the Goddess of Mercy had given him. It had extremely overwhelming potential and was capable of turning the tables.

Moreover, the Diving Songstress had awakened the mermaid king bloodline.

If Qian Yu triggered the Diving Songstress' mermaid king bloodline, its power would be raised significantly.

After struggling to consume the attacks from the Insect Queen and Genius, Lu Ou's spiritual power was running dry.

Lu Ou was well aware that if he did not fully transform into the devil, there was very little left that he would be able to do.

Hence, Lu Ou intended to use the spiritual power he had left to trigger his sacred source lifeform and use it to protect Qian Yu.

Lu Ou pointed at Qian Yu, and a gold chain shot out from his finger, linking him to Qian Yu.

Soon, Lu Ou and Qian Yu's figures turned blurry. It was as though they were going to disappear at any moment.

But soon, Lu Ou realized that his sacred source lifeform's abilities were rendered useless.

After Gao Feng used the Yellow Spring Lily to save the Fiery Sky Hou, he had not done anything else.

Gao Feng had been waiting for Qian Yu and Lu Ou to summon their sacred source lifeforms so he would be able to use the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box's Memory Magic Cut to seal off their abilities.

This was exactly what had just happened.

Lu Ou's sacred source lifeform was 4 Stars, and the 6 Stars Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box sealed off the only two abilities that Lu Ou's sacred source lifeform had, essentially rendering it useless.

This turn of events left Lu Ou with no choice but to use the Gorgon Teeth's ability, Teeth's Gift, to lend a large portion of his devil's energy to Qian Yu.

At the same time, he used the Gorgon Clam's ability Red Algae Flow to link himself and Qian Yu so he could transfer his vitality to Qian Yu.

His hope was that Qian Yu would be able to use his devil's energy and his own vitality to tide through this attack.

Lu Ou had been the one who released the mass of black and red energy. As such, he was well aware of how strong it was.

He felt that as long as Qian Yu sacrificed the Deep Freeze King Eel, he would be able to make it through the attack.

Nonetheless, it would leave him grievously injured.

However, the seriousness of his injuries did not concern Lu Ou.

Lu Ou was only helping Qian Yu so he would stay alive long enough to summon the Diving Songstress and use its ability to win the battle.

After they won the battle, Lu Ou would not care less if Qian Yu lived or died.

Since Lu Ou's sacred source lifeform had been locked down by the opponent and he was almost out of spiritual power, Lu Ou had no choice but to depend on Qian Yu.

Even if he fully fused with his higher devil, he did not have enough spiritual power in him to unleash more power than the 7 Stars Diving Songstress.

Qian Yu had been able to skyrocket to the position of Freedom Envoy because the Goddess of Mercy favored him and because his sacred source lifeform was very special.

Regardless, whether the Freedom Federation would emerge as the victor of this battle would depend on Qian Yu.

1768 Slaughtered Member of the Freedom Hundred Sequence!

A young man within the Freedom Federation envoy group was currently looking at Liu Jie and Lin Yuan with amusement in his eyes. His gaze also occasionally flickered over to Gao Feng.

The purple flame of the black candle darkened, and there seemed to be something shapeless within the flames.

The young man whispered in a voice so low that only he could hear it, "I didn't expect to find the main world like this after 3,000 years of slumber. The Freedom Federation and Radiance Federation sure are interesting. A few humans can actually awaken their birth horoscopes now.

"Devils and feys with the Barren bloodline are rather interesting too! However, the Radiance Federation's luck is way too good! Three of their sacred source lifeforms come from Dictators. One of their auras also seems more special than the others. It's as though it's composed of two types of auras."

While the young man was mumbling, his gaze fell on Li Yang. His eyes were full of mockery.

In a giant palace thousands of miles away, a woman dressed lavishly in black had the same expression of derision as this young man.

She tossed a few Eternal Hearts around in one hand while the other hand touched the female doll hanging around her neck.

She fiddled with the doll's grayish-black wings and seemed to be deep in thought.

Her head snapped to the seven large, shut black coffins next to her.

She gently squeezed the gray-winged doll she was playing with, then the doll of the armored young man next to it.

Soon, the two dull dolls seemed to gain a wisp of life, as though something had returned to them.

The girl stood up and walked out of the castle.

She raised her head and looked up at the blue sky with a sentimental gaze as she murmured, "Since I'm awake, there's no use for something trivial like the Gardener Konjac which came from me. Once Plunging Red wakes up, the entire world will feel the might of the Sleeper!"

Meanwhile, in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital, at the audience zone of the Radiance Sacred Hall fighting ground, a cry suddenly sounded out from among the Freedom Federation envoy group. Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

The sound was like someone who had just awoken from a deep sleep.

Li Yang frowned and looked behind him.

The Freedom Federation was currently at a disadvantage in the battle.

The person standing behind Li Yang was a member of the Freedom Hundred Sequence who had only been sent on this trip because they lacked manpower.

Li Yang was annoyed that this person who was unable to even contribute in battle was still making such a sound. It was embarrassing for the Freedom Federation.

But when Li Yang saw this young man's features, his brow furrowed even tighter as he knew that Second Page Revival had been hosted within this young man.

Ever since the Goddess of Mercy arrived, the entire situation deviated from Li Yang's original plan.

There was bad blood between Second Page Revival and the Goddess of Mercy.

Li Yang could not stop the Goddess of Mercy from attacking Second Page Revival once she saw her.

Thus, Li Yang had removed the agreement with Second Page Revival and wiped his hand off of Second Page Revival, even in the event of her death.

If he could not secure his own benefits, there's no point in concerning himself with other people's benefits.

However, this did not mean that he did not need Second Page Revival.

Between the Radiance Federation and the Goddess of Mercy, Second Page Revival was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

She had no choice but to take a risk that might cost her her life. This was the only way she would be able to accomplish her goal.

But now, Second Page Revival had disappeared.

The young man's memory had stopped at the point that Second Page Revival took over his body.

At that point, he had only just arrived at the Radiance Federation.

All he knew was that Qian Yu was leading the group and had not seen Li Yang or the Goddess of Mercy yet.

But now that he was suddenly seeing the two members of royalty, the young man was stunned.

But when the young man composed himself and was about to greet Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy, a gold and red water droplet flew at him with a flick of the Goddess of Mercy's fishtail.

The gold and red water droplet resembled a gem.

When the droplet made contact with the young man, he immediately exploded into a radiant flower.

Although the young man was not as strong as favored experts or the disciples of royalty, the fact that he had been chosen as a member of the Freedom Hundred Sequence meant that he was a top genius.

Yet, the Goddess of Mercy killed him without hesitation over such a small transgression. It had been as easy for her as tipping over a glass of water.

The Goddess of Mercy's action left the other members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence trembling.

All of them were no different from the young man that the Goddess of Mercy had just killed. If the Goddess of Mercy had killed him so casually, it meant that she would do the same to them at any time too.

The Moon Empress and the other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty knew that the Freedom Federation had this style.

But, they still could not help but narrow their eyes in such a circumstance.

The Moon Empress looked at the Goddess of Mercy and could tell that she was enraged over something. However, she was hiding her anger very well.

From the way that the Goddess of Mercy could kill a member of the Freedom Hundred Sequence so easily, it meant that she did not feel a strong sense of belonging or honor to the Freedom Federation.

Thus, there was no way the source of her anger was the loss of the members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence.

The Goddess of Mercy's eyes were fixed on Qian Yu.

Could she be angry that Lin Yuan had attacked Qian Yu?

There was no way for the Moon Empress to ascertain this.

But if she was truly angry because Lin Yuan had attacked Qian Yu, she should be looking at Lin Yuan instead of Qian Yu. It was as though Qian Yu was the one who had earned her ire.

Only the spectating members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence saw that the Goddess of Mercy had just killed a member of the Freedom Hundred Sequence. The audience on Star Web was completely oblivious to this fact.

This was because the battleground was too large for the broadcast to cover every inch of the area.

Unlike the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, the audience could not switch between different perspectives.

If they were able to see the perspective views of the Freedom Federation envoy team, their actions would be exposed.

In this battle that took place in a complicated region, it would be a smart tactic to hide using the environment.

Thus, the five members of the Radiance Federation team all had a specially made Star Web Card that allowed the Star web officials to broadcast their views.

1769 Purple and Blue Mermaid! L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

The act of the Goddess of Mercy casually killing a member of the Freedom Hundred Sequence had not stirred up a commotion on Star Web, but the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence could not remain calm after seeing this.

The members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were touched when they thought about their own 13 members of royalty.

Qian Yu had received a large amount of energy from Lu Ou's devil and vitality from Lu Ou's body.

He now summoned his other fey.

!

Qian Yu was walking the path of elites. He did not have many feys, but they were all pinnacle Myth II.

The enormous purple jellyfish clearly had the bloodline of the Nether Sea Jellyfish. However, the bloodline had not been fully triggered yet. Instead, its bloodline had mutated significantly.

Its bloodline was very impressive.

However, the jellyfish did not have any combat power. Rather, Qian Yu used it as a shield.

Since he had already lost the Cambria Abundant Fish and there was no way he would be able to save the Deep Freeze King Eel, there was no point in preserving this fey either.

As long as he could survive and make it back to the Freedom Federation, the Goddess of Mercy would be able to help him obtain the potion from the God of Fools that would be able to recover the spiritual energy he had used up contracting these three feys.

Qian Yu also had another reason for doing so.

Since he had fused with the Diving Songstress, he needed to maintain optimal body quality.

If he fused with the Diving Songstress while injured, his combat power would be significantly depressed.

Although Qian Yu was injured after being attacked by Lin Yuan, he had been carefully analyzing the battle circumstances.

As a Freedom Envoy, his talents had been acknowledged.

Qian Yu had realized that Liu Yifan, Zong Ze, and Liu Jie did not have the strength to go on.

Gao Feng was a pure support-type spirit qi professional and had already summoned his sacred source lifeform to restrict Yan Ling. After Yan Ling died, he went on to restrict Lu Ou's sacred source lifeform.

However, a support-type qi professional was just that.

Qian Yu knew why the Radiance Federation had decided to request that one person from each team be forbidden from being attacked.

The Radiance Federation appeared unharmed, but the only one who still had combat power was Lin Yuan.

When the mass of black and red energy made contact with the Deep Freeze King Eel and the jellyfish's body, Qian Yu fused with the Diving Songtress.

The mass of black and red energy took the Deep Freeze King Eel's life and burned the jellyfish to the point that it was in a near-dead state and could no longer fight.

At that moment, dark blue water burst out from Qian Yu.

When Liu Yifan sensed the aura of Qian Yu's sacred source lifeform, he gasped in disbelief. "A 7 Stars sacred source lifeform!"

Only those with 6 Stars sacred source lifeforms knew how difficult it was to evolve a sacred source lifeform from 6 Stars to 7 Stars.

Many people were already stumped by evolving their feys from 3 Stars to 4 Stars.

However, crossing from the young stage to the adolescent stage was a small gap. But to cross from the adolescent stage to the adult stage was a giant canyon.

Most people who had contracted sacred source lifeforms struggled to cross this canyon. Even if they managed to cross it, it would only be after many years.

None of the current Radiance Envoys had managed to evolve their feys from 6 Stars to 7 Stars.

It had already taken a large number of resources for them to evolve all their sacred source lifeforms to 6 Stars.

Even after Cicada Song sacrificed a portion of the Alleviating Wind's roots, Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform could only evolve to 6 Stars and not 7 Stars. This was enough to exemplify how difficult it was to cross the canyon between 6 Stars and 7 Stars.

Yet, Qian Yu's sacred source lifeform had reached 7 Stars.

A sacred source lifeform did not just gain another ability when it evolved from 6 Stars to 7 Stars. Their life rank would also be raised.

A 7 Stars sacred source lifeform would basically have no limits when it came to using the abilities it had when it was 6 Stars.

For example, the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box could control Yan Ling, Cai Huo, You Changjian, and Lu Ou's sacred source lifeforms easily but not Qian Yu's sacred source lifeform. Even if it tried to do so forcefully, it might not just fail but result in backlash.

This was why all experts did all they could to increase their sacred source lifeform's Stars.

A sacred source lifeform's Stars were the true source of their power.

At first, if a large amount of water-elemental energy with ill intent toward him appeared in his vicinity, Blue Lotus' blessing should have resulted in lotus leaves and flowers growing out from below his feet.

However, the region of dark blue sea had covered the entire battleground, and the Bamboo Monarch had to step in to stop it from expanding further outward.

Blood New Moon sighed and said, "The abilities of sacred source lifeforms are recognized as the will of the world. Not even the blessing of a Heavenly Family Fey can go against the will of the world."

Although Blue Lotus' blessing could not absorb all the water-elemental energy, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen had absorbed the Vast Sea World Crystal. This gave Lin Yuan the ability to breathe underwater, so he did not need to fear water like Zong Ze, Liu Jie, Liu Yifan, and Gao Feng.

At that moment, Lin Yuan resembled an aquatic lifeform.

Qian Yu was still fused with his devil, but his features had changed significantly.

His legs turned into a very wide fishtail that was a startling purple and blue.

The fishtail gently swayed, and violent dark whirlpools appeared within the sea.

Lin Yuan felt that the scales on the fishtail were both fish-like and snake-like.

After fusing with the devil, Qian Yu's body gleamed with a metallic purple and black.

Many scales appeared on his waist, abdomen, and neck. They even covered the devil tattoos on his face.

His short blond hair stretched down into the deep blue and purple sea and was now the same color as the fishtail.

At this moment, Lin Yuan could not be bothered to concern himself with Qian Yu's exterior.

However, a strange feeling filled him as he looked at Qian Yu, who had transformed into a mermaid.

1770 Mermaid's Sea!

Lin Yuan could not hold back the disdain he felt as he looked at Qian Yu behind him.

He found it strange that he was feeling that way.

He always treated people with kindness and empathy and always thought about problems from the perspective of others as long as they did not infringe on his principles.

It could be said that besides the people from Whale Ocean Commerce who had betrayed the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan had never felt disdain toward anybody.

However, it was also not natural for Lin Yuan to feel such disdain for Qian Yu.

Qian Yu was very powerful and was the Freedom Federation's third Freedom Envoy. Thus, Lin Yuan did not have the power to validate his disdain.

If not for Blue Lotus' blessing, the Insect Queen in the Emperor's Revival state, and the Sword Skills successfully killing two of Qian Yu's feys and injuring a third, there was no way that Lin Yuan would be able to defeat Qian Yu.

Moreover, Qian Yu had fused with a 7 Stars sacred source lifeform.

Lin Yuan's sacred source lifeform was only 4 Stars, so he could feel the might of the 7 Stars sacred source lifeform and the pressure it was exerting on him.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan still despised Qian Yu.

Lin Yuan carefully examined this feeling and realized that it was the same feeling Red Thorn felt toward four-winged fairy source-type lifeforms.

This was a disdain that was innate and was rooted in the bloodline.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that he would also turn into a mermaid when he fused with Dark Blue.

Dark Blue's power was on a completely different level from before.

The water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced by the Aquamarine Elemental Shellfish were shared between Dark Blue and the Floating Island Whale in the past.

But now that the Floating Island Whale had hatched, it still needed pure wind and water elements, but it mainly needed pure spirit qi.

Thus, besides the water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that he had traded to Yin Lin, all the rest had been absorbed by Dark Blue.

Dark Blue had reached Diamond X/Legend. Its quality was still Legend because it required special conditions in order to evolve into a Fantasy Breed fey.

Dark Blue needed to gather 12 types of strange water in order to evolve to Fantasy Breed.

Yin Lin had given Lin Yuan three types of top-grade strange water in exchange for the water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, and Lin Yuan had managed to find one after searching on his own.

Dark Blue had gained the attributes of four different types of top-grade strange water.

Moreover, Dark Blue's power was related to the quantity of faith power in the shrine in Lin Yuan's soul.

Ever since Lin Yuan discovered faith power, he had been trying to come up with a way to boost the amount he possessed.

During the blood pact ultimate fight between Connected Beast Park and Sky City, Lin Yuan had even instructed Tian Ningning to fetch other reporters to report on the fight.

However, all the previous events were trivial by comparison.

Although Lin Yuan had gained a large amount of faith power then, it could not be compared to the faith power that he gained afterward.

In the midst of displaying his power on Star Web, Black had broken the record of consecutive wins on the Celestial Stairway and defeated Lu Shuang. All of this had resulted in an accumulation of faith power.

However, all this faith power also paled in comparison to the amount of faith power he gained during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Ever since the six wings sprouted from Lin Yuan's back, the production of the sand castle in the sky, and the summoning of the sea of flowers and insect tide, the amount of faith power in his shrine had skyrocketed.

Moreover, the amount of faith power in the shrine had doubled during Capture the General.

Now, as the group battle progressed, the faith power in his shrine was climbing every second at an unprecedented rate.

Previously, the shrine had been like a constellation of golden dots. But now, it was more like a galaxy.

Even Lin Yuan could not be certain of how much faith power he had gained.

Lin Yuan had used his own ability to earn the faith of the entire Radiance Federation.

He had not fused with Dark Blue in a long time.

There was no fey in this sea that would have greater power than him if he fused with Dark Blue.

Liu Yifan was well aware that the sea had restrained Liu Jie, Gao Feng, Zong Ze, and Liu Yifan's abilities.

The entity he transformed into would not only be suitable for fighting in the sea but would also be able to manipulate the water.

He would only be able to protect Liu Jie, Gao Feng, Zong Ze, and Liu Yifan from Qian Yu's attacks if he was able to manipulate the sea.

After transforming, Qian Yu was in no rush to attack.

He fixed a mocking yet ferocious look at Lin Yuan as he growled, "You killed two of my feys and severely injured the roots of a third. Now, you must pay the price!"

Lin Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest when he heard what Qian Yu said. He was also unbothered.

While Qian Yu spoke, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Qian Yu's sacred source lifeform.

[Sacred Source Name: Diving Songstress

[Sacred Source Species: Source genus/Sacred Source species

[Sacred Source Star Grade: 7 Stars

[Sacred Source Type: Water

Abilities:

[Mermaid's Sea: With the power of the mermaid bloodline, a region of water that can only be controlled by and breathed in if one possesses mermaid power. Any lifeform that is within the mermaid's sea will hear the mermaid's song, which has an alluring effect. Any target that falls under the spell of the mermaid's song will sink to the bottom of the mermaid's sea and become part of its fertilizer.

[Sea of Thorns: Release mermaid power into the sea through the fishtail. Thorns that complement the mermaid's power will grow in the sea. The sharp thorns will be able to drain blood, break through armor, paralyze, and are also poisonous. Any target that is pierced by the thorns will be able to hear the mermaid's song even more clearer. The target will also be cursed by the mermaid and become a half-fish.

[Legend of Bubbles: When the Diving Songstress sustains a lethal attack, it will turn into bubbles. The attack will dissipate into the sea and the damage shared amongst the other lifeforms in the sea. It can use the mermaid's power to turn any lifeforms in the sea that are weaker than it into energy. The drained lifeforms will be reduced into bubbles.

Lin Yuan realized that all three of the Diving Songstress' abilities were very strong. Thê sourc𝗲 of this content n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

From the moment the sea produced by the Diving Songstress made contact with Lin Yuan, he could hear faint singing. However, the singing did not have any effect on him.

The song of a mermaid should be exceedingly pleasant.

But to Lin Yuan, it sounded like noisy chittering. It could only be described as irksome.

1771 Transformation of Lin Yuan's Mermaid Bloodline!

Just as Lin Yuan was wondering how such a voice could seduce any lifeforms and cause them to plunge to the depths of the sea, he realized through Connected Tails that besides Gao Feng, Liu Jie, Zong Ze, and Liu Yifan all looked entranced.

However, the effects of the trance differed as per the amount of soul power, spiritual energy, and spiritual power they possessed.

Luckily, even before Zong Ze fell under the torture of the curse, his spiritual energy and soul power had been stronger than that of most experts.

The Insect Queen was a spiritual-type fey. Although it did not have as massive a store of spiritual energy as Genius did, it could still act as an external store of spiritual energy for Liu Jie.

!

As a result, Liu Jie and Zong Ze did not sink.

Lin Yuan knew that Gao Feng had not been affected because Qian Yu took into consideration the third request stipulated by the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan hurriedly used Calm Mind on Liu Jie, Zong Ze, and Liu Yifan to aid them.

Lin Yuan noticed that all three abilities involved the mermaid's power.

The mermaid's power came from the mermaid bloodline. After Lin Yuan fused with Dark Blue, he would also transform into the figure of a mermaid.

The image of Lin Yuan as a mermaid had allowed him to pass off as a Dictator.

Lin Yuan did not know if the fusion only gave him the shell of a mermaid's body or if it also included the mermaid's power.

There was a legend that said that the Remembrance Soul Whale was affectionate toward deep-sea mermaids, and only deep-sea mermaids could see it.

Lin Yuan could not only see the Remembrance Soul Whale, but he had even formed a contract with it.

The Rememberling was very affectionate toward Lin Yuan, both before and after he contracted it.

This fact made Lin Yuan suspect that he truly transformed into a mermaid after fusing with Dark Blue and gaining the mermaid's power as well.

Qian Yu noticed that instead of replying to him, Black had supported his teammates and was exempted from the trance of the mermaid himself.

Qian Yu thumped his fishtail, and a wave of mermaid power that was perceived by Lin Yuan as an unbearable odor burst out from the tail and toward the bottom of the sea.

Lin Yuan knew that Qian Yu wanted to use Sea of Thorns.

Sea of Thorns was very powerful and strengthened the control that the Diving Songstress had over the sea.

The sharp thorns could drain blood, paralyze, break armor, and were poisonous. These made them no different from sea-dwelling demons.

The mermaid's song already had powerful controlling effects.

Once a target was pierced by these thorns and heard the mermaid's song, they would instantly fall into a trance.

Moreover, the wound from being pierced by the thorns would inflict the mermaid's curse.

The Moon Empress had told Lin Yuan that the pressure brought about by the bloodline hierarchy was stronger for mermaids than it was for fairy source-type lifeforms.

The mermaids would be able to control the transformed half-fish lifeforms like slaves.

The thorns wrapped around not only him but also Zong Ze, Liu Yifan, Liu Jie, and the rest.

At this point, Lin Yuan decided to fuse with Dark Blue to properly take on Qian Yu.

When the black spikes wrapped around Lin Yuan's ankle, the alluring mermaid song abruptly halted.

A stern yet ethereal voice filled the sea.

The sea that the Diving Songstress created was purple and blue.

But in an instant, with Lin Yuan at the center, the entire sea turned azure.

As the sunbeams shot down onto the surface of the sea, mottled golden pillars grew beneath the sea. The azure water beneath the surface seemed like a completely different world.

At that moment, the Goddess of Mercy's body trembled, and an inexplicable expression of wild elation spread across her face.

This expression lasted for three full seconds and only vanished after the Goddess of Mercy forcefully suppressed herself.

Zong Ze, Liu Jie, and Liu Yifan also broke out of the influence of the mermaid's song.

An expression of shock appeared on Liu Jie's face.

Unlike Zong Ze, Liu Yifan, and Gao Feng, this was not the first time that Liu Jie was seeing Lin Yuan in his mermaid form. However, Liu Jie noticed that Lin Yuan's mermaid form now looked utterly different from before.

Currents rolled across the azure sea and turned into pieces of wood that stacked themselves into a palace made of sea currents.

It was as though the sea was waiting to receive a new emperor.

At that moment, Lin Yuan was astonished as well. He had not fused with Dark Blue ever since he received Blue Lotus' blessing.

Blue Lotus had told him that her blessing could purify the bloodline of any lifeform within the sea.

Lin Yuan could sense a strange power burgeoning within him and transforming the body of his mermaid form.

Firstly, his hair was extended. It was still pure azure in color, but the tips of the hair were covered with a layer of gold. The vast blue suppressed the elite gold.

Previously, his hair reached his calf. But now, it trailed almost three meters behind him.

It was extremely eye-catching as it ebbed and flowed along with the currents of the sea.

Lin Yuan's features softened and several scales that were blue but also rainbow at the same time appeared on his face. The two scales at the corners of his eyes resembled pearl drops.

However, the two pearl drops did not seem soft at all. Rather, they were lively and dignified.

The waves enveloped Lin Yuan in a 50-meter-wide shawl.

A fishtail that would steal the attention of anyone who looked at it peeked out from below the shawl of waves. When the fishtail moved, it gently lifted the shawl.

Lin Yuan's previous fishtail was different from that of the one Qian Yu had when he fused with the Diving Songstress, but the difference had been minimal.

Now, Lin Yuan's fishtail was the same color as the scales on his face.

The scales on Qian Yu's fishtail were similar to that of a snake's.

Meanwhile, the scales on Lin Yuan's fishtail were like flower petals.

With each movement of the elegant fishtail, it created a wave in the sea.

The blue and gold of the fishtail seemed to subjugate the entire sea.

If the most beautiful thing that appeared in the sky was moonlight, Lin Yuan would be its only competition.

At this moment, Lin Yuan raised his eyes to look at Qian Yu.

Qian Yu felt an intense pressure on his bloodline.

The black thorns growing from the bottom of the sea had wilted long ago. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

Qian Yu noticed that the sea created by the Diving Songstress was no longer under his control.

However, neither this nor the possibility of losing the fight was what terrified Qian Yu the most.

He was most afraid of Lin Yuan's bloodline itself.

1772 Bloodline Suppression

Qian Yu had used all of his secret weapons during the battle. He had even used the rare mermaid king bloodline in the Diving Songstress' body.

This was not because he saw this battle as life or death but because he would be able to use his accomplishments during this battle to obtain even better status and more resources when he returned to the Freedom Federation.

Qian Yu actually had a safety net set up.

No matter what happened, even if he really ended up fully held down by his opponent, the Goddess of Mercy would not sit by and watch him die.

The Goddess of Mercy had come to the Radiance Federation because she had been worried for his safety.

Qian Yu was intelligent and could sense how the Goddess of Mercy felt about him. He knew that she did not dote on him like how Na Na doted on Lu Ou. Rather, she had an ulterior motive for treating him so well.

As such, Qian Yu could be certain that there was a special reason for the Goddess of Mercy treating him so well.

At first, Qian Yu had been oblivious as to what this motive was. But when the Goddess of Mercy started demanding that he only formed contracts with water-type feys, to do all he could to evolve the Diving Songstress and constantly emphasize properly safeguarding the Diving Songstress' mermaid king bloodline, realization dawned on Qian Yu.

The Goddess of Mercy had started favoring him when he formed a contract with the Diving Songstress. This meant that the mermaid bloodline in his body was extremely useful to her.

But now, all of Qian Yu's confidence crumbled.

Lin Yuan also had the mermaid bloodline.

Moreover, the mermaid bloodline did not come from a sacred source lifeform.

The pressure from his bloodline prevented Qian Yu from using Sea of Thorns again as he needed to use up the mermaid's power to use this ability.

The mermaid of a more elite bloodline had powerful control over a mermaid of a less elite bloodline.

When the mermaid with a more elite bloodline used its mermaid's power, it would cause the mermaid of a less elite bloodline to lose its control over the sea.

Sacred source lifeforms that used their bloodlines to fight were always more outstanding than other feys of the same grade. However, they were helpless against the suppression of a more elite bloodline.

Qian Yu had garnered a long list of victories using the Diving Songstress' bloodline. He had defeated many young experts in the Freedom Federation who were stronger than him and managed to secure a position as a Freedom Envoy.

But now, he was finally on the other end of the backlash.

It was clear that Lin Yuan's bloodline would be useful to the Goddess of Mercy.

At that moment, Qian Yu dared not meet the Goddess of Mercy's gaze as he was afraid that it would be one that screamed cold abandonment.

Before Lin Yuan fused with Dark Blue, he had felt an uncontrollable disdain for Qian Yu.

But now that he had transformed into a mermaid, the disdain had turned into scorn. He even felt that for Qian Yu to be standing in front of him in such a position was an unforgivable crime.

This enraged Lin Yuan.

He raised his hand and a finger reached out from the shawl of waves to point at Qian Yu.

A beam of water shot toward Qian Yu. It came from Lin Yuan's use of Flowing.

Due to the exclusive skill Power Water Soul, Lin Yuan combined Dark Blue's 12 pillars of water and fused them with the top-grade strange water Burning Sea Boiling Water. Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

When water was heated, it increased in temperature and would lead to evaporation that would cause the target to dehydrate rapidly. As such, it was extremely damaging to any lifeform that had water in its body.

The boiling water twisted as it barreled toward Qian Yu.

Qian Yu could have flicked his fishtail and easily swam away to dodge the beam of water.

However, the suppression of his bloodline left Qian Yu trembling.

Before Lin Yuan evolved Dark Blue's mermaid bloodline, outsiders could have injected faith power into him to get a sense of him.

But now that his mermaid bloodline had evolved, any attempt to inject faith power would be blocked by the mermaid bloodline. Additionally, the mermaid bloodline would be benefited from the faith power.

The faith power from Lin Yuan's shrine was charging into the mermaid bloodline in his body.

As a result, the aura of his mermaid bloodline intensified.

The suppression of his bloodline had left Qian Yu immobilized as the beam of boiling water closed in on him.

The heat of the water was comparable to that of a top-grade strange flame, and it caused blisters to rise all over Qian Yu's body.

Once the blisters popped, the sea around Qian Yu turned purple and red.

Numerous blue and purple scales on his fishtail had been washed away by the violent force of the water.

All of these left Qian Yu in an extremely sorry state.

The entity that Qian Yu became when he transformed into a mermaid already could not be compared to Lin Yuan in his mermaid form.

Now, the injuries he sustained widened the distance between them.

Qian Yu appeared like a lowly speck of dust before Lin Yuan.

Ever since Lin Yuan transformed, Star Web exploded with activity.

The mermaids were a beautiful species in itself, regardless of gender.

When Qian Yu transformed into a merman, his beauty stunned many Star Web users.

But once Lin Yuan transformed into a merman, the Star Web users immediately realized the gap between Qian Yu and Lin Yuan's beauty.

Lu Shuang had been briefly explaining the battle, but she was struck dumb for more than a minute from the moment Lin Yuan transformed into a merman.

The rest of the Star Web audience was in a similar state.

Buddha-Like Black Rabbit: Oh my God! I have always been firmly straight. But why can't I tear my eyes away from Black's body now? What do I do now? I'm in love!

Purple Stars: You're not alone. I'm the same! I'm petitioning for the Spirit Craftsman to carve Black's current image into a model!

Nameless and Qualmless: I don't know whether to call him Black or Lin Yuan now. I've always felt that Black's title as a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence should be something like Silver Mask or Six-Winged Angel! I voted for the title Silver-Faced Miracle! But now, I think that the name should be related to mermaids!

Blowing Wind: Black's merman form has satisfied my dreams of mermaids! Compared to Black, Qian Yu looks like a torn-up rag!

Jade Button: Don't any of you care to find out what method Black used to turn into a merman? We have no clue how many capabilities he has!

The focus on Star Web was Lin Yuan's appearance.

This was because Lin Yuan's appearance was breathtaking to most, if not all, and because Lin Yuan had fully oppressed his opponent.

It seemed that the result of this battle had been set.

1773 What is Qian Yu?

At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Lin Yuan. This was with the exception of the Goddess of Mercy, who had her eyes lowered.

Her eyes were swiftly moving as though she was contemplating something of extreme importance.

She only lifted her head a moment later.

But now, her brows were no longer furrowed. Rather, they were relaxed as though she no longer had a single care for Qian Yu.

She looked at Lin Yuan with shock, and a strange feeling within her was growing while being urged by her bloodline.

This feeling was completely unfamiliar to the Goddess of Mercy.

But at the same time, she was restrained by Lin Yuan's aura.

The Goddess of Mercy never expected such a pure mermaid bloodline to exist in the world.

It had reached the level of the mermaid king bloodline.

However, it needed another few months to stabilize. If it was injured during this period, the bloodline could plummet to pinnacle mermaid bloodline.

At that point, it would be even more difficult to evolve it into a mermaid emperor bloodline.

In the past, the Goddess of Mercy would not have hesitated to forcefully take Lin Yuan away with her.

This was always how the Goddess of Mercy operated. If she saw something that caught her attention, she would have to make it her own.

Otherwise, there was no point in her awakening her birth horoscope.

However, Lin Yuan's bloodline made the Goddess of Mercy wary of acting so impulsively.

The Goddess of Mercy only wanted to remove her curse so she would be able to continue increasing her power again.

The way to remove the curse was to gain the love of the mermaid king clan.

If she forcefully kidnapped him, it would be a miracle if the young man did not resent her, much less love her.

Thus, the Goddess of Mercy decided to proceed with her original plan.

It seemed that she would need to have a talk with the Moon Empress and that old man before she left the Radiance Federation.

As for Qian Yu, the Goddess of Mercy couldn't care less about him. What was Qian Yu? She might as well have never heard of him before.

Lin Yuan, whose mermaid bloodline had just transformed, could clearly sense his ability to control the sea.

The feeling was even more natural to Lin Yuan than walking on land.

All the water elements were fighting for the chance to communicate with Lin Yuan.

Through the water elements, Lin Yuan did not need to use his eyes, and he would be able to sense any minute changes within the sea.

Qian Yu's purple and blue blood was like a stain in the azure sea.

Qian Yu was very clear that as long as he had the mermaid bloodline in his body, it would be almost impossible for him to move while suppressed by Lin Yuan.

He had tried to activate the rare mermaid emperor bloodline, but it was of no help.

Eventually, Qian Yu had no choice but to dissolve his fusion with the Diving Songstress.

At that same moment, Qian Yu gained his freedom of movement.

Qian Yu's arsenal was almost empty.

At the same moment that Lin Yuan transformed, the half-dead jellyfish was pulled beneath the water by Lin Yuan and killed.

Qian Yu had no choice but to summon his last fey, a pinnacle four-winged water-type fairy source-type lifeform.

It was called the Vortex Fairy.

A small fairy that seemed to have fins for wings appeared in the sea.

Five vortexes materialized around Qian Yu.

Qian Yu glanced at Liu Jie with delight. He had not summoned the Vortex Fairy yet because the Insect Queen was a six-winged fairy.

As such, the Insect Queen's bloodline would exert strong pressure on the Vortex Fairy's bloodline. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/.c𝒐m

But after combining with the Emperor Core of All Insects, the Insect Queen had fallen asleep and would not be able to exert bloodline pressure.

The Vortex Fairy was Suzerain/pinnacle Myth II. It was only a hair's breadth away from reaching six wings.

Qian Yu felt that the Radiance Federation team should be devastated that he was still able to produce such a powerful weapon at such a juncture.

He noticed that Liu Yifan, Zong Ze, Liu Jie, and Gao Feng's expressions all darkened.

Yet, Lin Yuan smiled. This smile was accompanied by the two pearl drop scales at the corner of his eyes that reflected a brilliant light off the surface of the sea.

The beautiful smile caused Qian Yu's heart to skip a nervous beat.

When Qian Yu was activating his spiritual energy to summon his fey, Lin Yuan assumed that Qian Yu was about to display a stunning secret weapon.

Any other pinnacle Myth II fey would cause Lin Yuan to struggle.

He still had two unused Sword Skills.

One of them was Attack of the Sea Leaping Whale.

Although Lin Yuan's sacred source lifeform had evolved to 4 Stars and both the Grace Queen and Sacred Sword had gained another ability each, the Grace Queen's new ability only had support effects. Meanwhile, the Sacred Sword's second ability came with great cost with each use.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan would not use the Sacred Sword's second ability.

But if the pinnacle four-winged fairy source-type lifeform was Qian Yu's final weapon, Lin Yuan felt that he would not be pushed to the point of using the Sacred Sword's second ability.

Red Thorn was a fairy source-type lifeform, and its bloodline was pinnacle six-wings.

Even if it was placed alongside the six-winged Insect Queen, Red Thorn's aura would leave the Insect Queen trembling in fear and cause its power to fall by 80%.

Lin Yuan and Red Thorn's contract was special as the medium had been blood.

Red Thorn and Lin Yuan's bloodlines were connected, so Lin Yuan could activate his bloodline to exert the pressure that would come from Red Thorn's pinnacle six-winged bloodline.

Lin Yuan swished his fishtail and swam toward the vortexes.

Since Lin Yuan had Blue Lotus' blessing, the Vortex Fairy's attack was absorbed by the lotus flowers before they could make contact with Lin Yuan.

Hence, none of the Vortex Fairy's attacks hurt Lin Yuan.

Ten enormous water pillars shot out from the water and protected Liu Jie, Liu Yifan, Gao Feng, and Zong Ze.

Moreover, Liu Yifan had healed a portion of his spiritual power and summoned the Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow and Four-Animal Eight-Trigram Deer again. He instructed them to support Lin Yuan.

After Qian Yu removed his mermaid state, he pondered how he could get nearer to Lin Yuan.

Since he was fused with his devil, his physical body was extremely strong. He would only be able to demonstrate his full power in close-quarter combat.

1774 Decoction Dragon Bath Devil

Qian Yu would also better be able to use the intermediate devil's abilities then.

Although the Vortex Fairy could not deal any damage to Lin Yuan, it would prevent Liu Yifan from supporting Lin Yuan. Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

Before Qian Yu and Lin Yuan's weapons clashed, Qian Yu realized with a shock that the Vortex Fairy had suddenly started to quiver.

As a source-type lifeform, the Vortex Fairy's spirit was closely linked to Qian Yu's spirit.

When Qian Yu had been fused with the Diving Songstress' body, his bloodline had been suppressed by Lin Yuan's bloodline to the point that he was completely immobilized. It was as though he was a pathetic clown.

But now, he had already separated himself from the Diving Songstress and had summoned his reserve combat fey.

Qian Yu could sense that the Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth II Vortex Fairy was being suppressed.

This made Qian Yu feel humiliated once again.

But he was also suspicious.

Lin Yuan was a merman. How could his bloodline suppress the Vortex Fairy?

No matter how pure or strong Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline was, he was just a merman. Not even the six-winged Insect Queen would be able to terrify the Vortex Fairy to such a degree and render it completely unable to battle.

However, Lin Yuan did not give Qian Yu the time to puzzle out the reason before he reached out and grabbed the Vortex Fairy.

Even a distance away from Lin Yuan, the Vortex Fairy was trembling in fear over his bloodline.

Now that it was in his palm, it could even more clearly feel the might of Red Thorn's bloodline.

The Vortex Fairy was so afraid that it could not even respond to Qian Yu's orders.

Meanwhile, Qian Yu had launched his fist at Lin Yuan's shockingly pristine face.

In the past, the Goddess of Mercy would have wanted to step in multiple times to help Qian Yu eliminate the five members of the Radiance Federation team because she was afraid that he would use up the rare mermaid king's bloodline.

Now, she was about to step in again.

But instead of protecting Qian Yu, she wanted to crush him into a mangled mess.

How dare he touch Lin Yuan's face?

The Goddess of Mercy had always solely sought after her own benefits.

She had to have such a character to become one of the Freedom Federation's royalty and break through to heaven's path to access her birth horoscope.

However, the issue of bloodline made it impossible for the Goddess of Mercy to think rationally.

The mermaid bloodline in her body would cause her to proceed with caution when it came to anything that involved Lin Yuan. The entire mermaid clan lived to serve the mermaid emperor clan.

The orders of the mermaid emperor clan were no different from a religious commandment.

The Goddess of Mercy's entire attitude depended on the expressions on Lin Yuan's face.

Qian Yu was indeed powerful when he was fused with his intermediate devil.

Spikes suddenly sprouted from Qian Yu's purple-scaled fist and shot out with the force of a Myth Breed fey's power.

Moreover, Qian Yu's punch not only carried his physical power, but also had curse effects.

Qian Yu's intermediate devil was called the Decoction Dragon Bath Devil.

It normally needed to be fed the essence blood of water-type dragon-species feys, and its power was significantly boosted when it was in the water.

The devil was extremely suitable for Qian Yu.

However, the entire sea was under the control of Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline.

Qian Yu realized with dismay that despite being in the water, he could not tap into the Decoction Dragon Bath Devil's ability to use the sea to recover himself.

Ironically, Qian Yu was also the one who created this sea.

Luckily, the Decoction Dragon Bath Devil's abilities also came with curse effects.

As long as it could break its opponent's flesh and inject its energy into its opponent, it would be able to steal the water-elemental energy within the target's blood. This would result in the target's blood drying up.

The cursing effect increased Qian Yu's battle endurance and gave him his reputation of being able to single-handedly take on a Class 4 water world dimensional rift.

Qian Yu had initially calculated everything very exactly. However, he had made one wrong calculation.

He assumed that Lin Yuan was weak in his mermaid form just because he appeared so.

Lin Yuan had transformed into a merman because he had fused with Dark Blue.

Dark Blue was now Diamond X/Legend and could produce a region of water that spanned 10,000 square kilometers. This exactly covered 1/10 of the area of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Dark Blue originally consisted of balls of water.

Every one of Dark Blue's attacks would carry the power of this volume of water.

Moreover, Lin Yuan's attacks came with the attributes that Dark Blue had gained control of.

Additionally, Lin Yuan could use the combat skills and fighting strategies he memorized using the Muscle Hyperthymesia Grass in the water.

He still had a portion of his power that he had not utilized yet.

Lin Yuan could not only use Spirit Essence Explosion with his fist. Rather, he could use any part of his body he wanted to release the attack.

Lin Yuan did not dodge Qian Yu's attack.

With a sway of his head, Lin Yuan's flowing blue and gold hair was imbued with the flow of the current and sailed toward Qian Yu.

When the gold and blue hair slammed into Qian Yu's fist, Qian Yu felt as though he was punching a glacier.

He was astonished by the might of the hair.

At that moment, Lin Yuan flipped over his fishtail, and it slapped Qian Yu's lower back while wrapped in a layer of pure spirit qi.

Lin Yuan's attack rang out loudly, and Qian Yu spat out a large mouthful of blood.

There were even dark red fragments in the blood, making it clear that the attack had even damaged Qian Yu's organs.

This attack dazed Qian Yu, but Lin Yuan did not halt.

The fishtail swooped in a beautiful arch and landed on Qian Yu.

As a result, Qian Yu felt as though all his bones had cracked.

Qian Yu lost all his ability to fight back.

This did not mean that Qian Yu was not strong but that this young man had completely jammed him. All of his abilities had been countered.

Qian Yu felt as though the Radiance Federation had specially nurtured this young man to trap him.

Luckily, Qian Yu was still fused with his devil. Otherwise, he would already have been crushed into an unrecognizable state by Lin Yuan's attack.

When Lin Yuan and Qian Yu started fighting, Lu Ou stopped attacking and silently watched from the sidelines.

1775 The Hand From the Spatial Doorway!

Lu Ou had tried contacting the Disaster World Faceless Beast multiple times.

But despite knowing that the Disaster World Faceless Beast was still alive, he could no longer communicate with it.

Now that Qian Yu had lost the ability to fight back, Lu Ou was not going to attack either.

Lu Ou still had a secret weapon that he had yet to reveal. However, he did not think that using it would be of any help. Futile struggle that did not change the result of the battle was foolish.

Lu Ou waited for the Goddess of Mercy to step in to protect Qian Yu. Then, due to his special status, she would also take him along in their escape.

Yet, even after a long time passed, the Goddess of Mercy seemed to have no intention of stepping in.

Lu Ou looked at Qian Yu with a troubled gaze.

Qian Yu had sworn that he was extremely important to the Goddess of Mercy. Could it be that she had abandoned him?

But even if the Goddess of Mercy did not step in, Lu Ou was still confident in preserving his own life.

After all, he was different from Han Qi.

Favored experts and disciples were both outsiders. Without a blood link, it would be difficult to truly view another as important as oneself. Checkk new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆

However, Lu Ou did not want to burden his mother and bring her to the Radiance Federation, which was a hostile state.

While Lin Yuan was attacking Qian Yu, he realized that he would be able to hurt Qian Yu using Spirit Essence Explosion, but it would be difficult for him to kill Qian Yu with this attack.

He noticed Lu Ou looking at him with a stormy gaze from a distance away.

With a wave of his tail, he swung at Qian Yu and launched him toward Lu Ou.

At the same time, Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and the entire azure sea turned choppy.

Lin Yuan wanted to use Flowing. It was a very simple ability as it would break apart the original body and turn all the water elements in the body into violent water that would attack a target.

When Dark Blue's body had only been about the size of ten water basins, it served as a strong combat ability.

But after all this time of consuming heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to increase its power, Dark Blue contained an unimaginable amount of water-elemental energy.

If it turned into water currents that charged at a target, it would carry a much higher lethal power than if Lin Yuan used his fishtail to release Spirit Essence Explosion.

With Lin Yuan at the center, the seawater turned into a large vortex, and an azure pillar of water soon burst out and shot into the sky.

The water level of the sea was falling rapidly.

When the pillar of water was about to crash into the shield produced by the Mountain River Grain God Bells, the Moon Empress casually waved her hand, and a hole opened up in the shield to allow the pillar of water to pass through. Through the hole, the pillar of water shot into the sky.

Almost every person in the Royal Capital was watching the battle on Star Web.

If anyone was too busy to watch the broadcast, they would be able to look up to see the seemingly endless water pillar.

It was as though the azure pillar connected the heaven to the ground.

At that moment, Lin Yuan snapped his fingers in the direction of Lu Ou and Qian Yu.

The pillar of water rapidly moved toward Qian Yu and Lu Ou.

Once the pillar of water closed in on the two men, Lin Yuan tossed the Vortex Fairy he had held onto all this time in front of him and slammed into it with his fishtail.

The Vortex Fairy crashed into the pillar of water and sliced through it.

In an instant, the pillar of water connecting the ground and sky became unbalanced and collapsed on Qian Yu and Lu Ou.

When the Vortex Fairy sliced through the pillar of water, it was crushed by the powerful water.

Lin Yuan did not even have to use the aura of Red Thorn's bloodline to suppress the Vortex Fairy, as it was already completely incapacitated.

Lu Ou knew he could not allow the pillar of water to touch him. Otherwise, it was likely that he would suffer irreparable injuries.

He knew that this attack was not solely composed of elemental power. Given that the water was falling from such a high height, it would also generate overwhelming gravitational force that would physically wreck all surrounding lifeforms.

Once the water crashed into the ground, the water droplets that reached the ground first would be under pressure from the still-falling water, creating an explosive effect.

It was likely that it would even be able to warp radium boards.

Once Lu Ou became certain that the Goddess of Mercy was not going to step in, he took a silver ring out of his spatial equipment.

The ring contained a large amount of spatial energy as it had been made from the body of a sacred source lifeform.

According to the request made by the Radiance Federation, the use of any precious instrument was forbidden. As such, Lu Ou was publicly breaking his condition.

This battle mimicked the battle of the Major Federation Meeting.

If any contestant violated any rule during the Major Federation Meeting, it would be an immediate loss for the side that the participant belonged to.

It could be said that the Freedom Federation had lost this battle from the moment Lu Ou took out the spatial equipment.

Lu Ou injected his remaining spiritual power into this silver ring.

Then, a spatial doorway materialized in front of him.

As the doorway grew larger, the spatial runes on it also became more visible.

Eventually, the spatial runes transformed into a moving silver tadpole.

The silver tadpole crawled out from the doorway and left it empty.

The Spacetime Elder's expression was the first to change.

He had contracted the 10 Stars Spatial Mother Shellfish, and it could clearly sense spatial fluctuations and ripples.

The Spacetime Elder could sense intense spatial energy from the doorway.

This energy surpassed that of Lu Ou's own.

The aura of the silver ring was that of an 8 Stars sacred source lifeform. This meant that the ring-shaped precious instrument was an 8 Stars precious instrument.

It was unknown where this spatial doorway led to.

At that moment, a crack appeared in the spatial doorway, and a pair of slender hands peeked through the rift.

The fingernails on the hands were stained dark red.

Once the hands appeared, a pink and purple shield appeared. It covered a radius of 30 meters and immediately sealed Lu Ou within.

1776 Is There Something Wrong With the Goddess of Mercy's Brain?

At that moment, it was as though Qian Yu and the Vortex Fairy were impurities as they were purged and tossed far away by the pink and purple shield.

The pink and purple shield of energy appeared crystalline as its surface gleamed like a gem. It looked as though it could shatter at any moment.

However, when the pillar of water crashed into the pink and purple shield, the shield easily halted the pillar of water.

The water sprays that jumped out from the impact could have changed the shape of radium planks. Yet, when they landed on the shield, not even sound was produced.

All the impact sustained by the shield was absorbed by the energy within.

Lin Yuan did not release another attack after this because he saw that Lu Ou was using a precious weapon.

After receiving momentary protection from the pink and purple shield before being tossed out, the injuries that Qian Yu and the Vortex Fairy sustained had been mitigated.

The Vortex Fairy was dead, but Qian Yu still had one last breath left in him.

However, Lin Yuan knew that this breath was being sustained by the intermediate demon in Qian Yu's body.

Lin Yuan had not recalled the Source Sand yet, and it had been at the bottom of the sea all this time.

When the water attacked Qian Yu, Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to use Gravel Spirit Acceptance. Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

He used the Nether Bamboo Viper that he had obtained from Han Qi to finish off Qian Yu. He injected all of the Nether Bamboo Viper's poison into Qian Yu's body.

If Qian Yu were still healthy, he would have a certain amount of resistance against the poison.

But in his current state, no matter how slow-acting the poison was, it would soon enter all his cracked bones and reach his marrow.

Lin Yuan had eliminated the third Freedom Envoy of the Freedom Federation.

Since he saw that Lu Ou had broken the rules and his side had already won, Lin Yuan had accomplished his duty of upholding the Radiance Federation's honor and glory.

He did not have the right to interfere in what happened next. It would be up to the Radiance Federation's 13 members of royalty.

After the sea water receded, everyone present soon saw with a shock that a beautiful woman with a high bun sitting atop her head was standing next to Lu Ou.

If one took a closer look, one would notice that Lu Ou's eyes and lips greatly resembled that of this woman.

At that moment, a moonbeam landed on Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress was not tall, but she was fully blocking Lin Yuan.

The beautiful woman with the high bun glanced at the almost-dead Qian Yu before shifting her gaze to the Goddess of Mercy. She could not understand why the Goddess of Mercy was so nonchalant about Qian Yu's death.

Lin Yuan had absolved his fusion with Dark Blue.

It required a large amount of spiritual power to fully transform Dark Blue's body into water. Lin Yuan did not contain such a large amount of spiritual power in his body.

Still, Lin Yuan had injected all the spiritual power he had left into Dark Blue's body to enable it to unleash that pillar of water. Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for the Diamond X/Legend Dark Blue to inflict such serious damage.

Luckily, Lin Yuan had removed his mermaid state. Otherwise, given how well Na Na knew the Goddess of Mercy, she would immediately realize why the Goddess of Mercy's attitude toward Qian Yu had changed so drastically.

Na Na glared at Lin Yuan before turning her stormy gaze onto Li Yang.

Li Yang was the one who had planned this event. Although he had not intended for such a development to occur, he was not to blame.

But when she saw what a sorry state Lu Ou was in, most of Na Na's anger was directed at Li Yang.

She had agreed to let Lu Ou come because Li Yang had promised her the benefits to come.

But now that the fight had reached such a state, Li Yang's plan had failed. As such, all the benefits he had promised would also fall through.

At this moment, a cold voice sneered. "Is this the way that the Freedom Federation treats battles? The Freedom Federation was the one who had proposed this battle and the method of battle as well. Yet, you're also the one who just publicly broke the rules. The Freedom Federation owes the Radiance Federation compensation!"

The Moon Empress released her aura, and a moon instantly appeared in the sky.

The moon soon turned red, and long chains of moonbeams descended from the sky.

In an instant, all the elemental energy and spiritual power around the Radiance Sacred Hall were absorbed by the moonbeams.

The moonbeams even locked the air, turning the entire area into a trap where no energy would be allowed in.

Na Na frowned at the Moon Empress.

She did not know what had happened but knew that Lu Ou had to have been in danger to summon her here.

But she did not expect the danger that Lu Ou was in to come from a battle with the Radiance Federation's young experts.

At that moment, the Freedom Federation was the guilty one from all angles.

Na Na had just started walking on heaven's path but had not taken control of her birth horoscope yet. Thus, she had not been given the title of 'Goddess'.

However, she did not believe that the Radiance Federation's royalty would attack her.

Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy were still present.

Although the Radiance Federation had five experts who were walking down heaven's path and had taken control of their birth horoscopes, they would not be able to defeat the Freedom Federation's three members of royalty quickly.

Even without Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy, Na Na would be able to drain all of the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital's luck using the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Every expert who had started walking down the heaven's path would have their own unique methods. If pushed to the brink of death, they would still be able to create a catastrophic disaster in a last-ditch release of frenzied power before they passed away.

Despite the Radiance Federation always being weaker than the Freedom Federation, the Freedom Federation had never attacked the Radiance Federation because of the existence of that old man.

Under such circumstances, the most common way to proceed would be to pay with resources or offer some sort of compensation. Regardless, the Freedom Federation would be the one paying the cost.

Although the Goddess of Mercy and Li Yang were also present, Na Na was the one who had broken the rules.

While she was trying to come up with a way to respond, the Goddess of Mercy said, "Lu Ou broke the rules by using his precious weapon. We, the Freedom Federation broke the rules. As such, the Radiance Federation is the winner of this battle. We are never sore losers. Since there was an issue, we are willing to pay the compensation."

Li Yang's glare was so sharp that it was almost as though it would slice through the Goddess of Mercy at any moment.

He wanted to ask the Goddess of Mercy if there was something wrong with her brain. Otherwise, how could she have said something like that with such finality!?

1777 You're Way Too Nice to the Moon Empress' Disciple!

Previously, Li Yang felt that they should claim that Black had cheated. In order to overturn this accusation, the Radiance Federation would need to reveal his methods.

At the very least, they would be able to receive more information on the best young prodigy in the Radiance Federation. This would be helpful for the future.

But after the Goddess of Mercy said what she said, Li Yang would not be able to accomplish any of this.

Li Yang felt that the Goddess of Mercy became the most selfish and unreasonable person in the entire Freedom Federation after gaining the title of 'goddess'.

The Goddess of Mercy was clearly a Class 5 Creation Master but did not share her resources with the other members of royalty like the Mirror God and God of Fools did.

She was so self-centered and selfish that there was no way she would be able to accept being bullied in any way.

Li Yang was not the only one who was confused. Na Na shared his sentiment.

Given that Na Na knew the Goddess of Mercy better than Li Yang did, she was even more shocked than he was.

A moment ago, Qian Yu had stopped breathing. The Decoction Dragon Bath Devil had already separated itself from Qian Yu's body.

Yet, the Goddess of Mercy was completely cavalier.

Na Na was in no place to comment about what the Goddess of Mercy had said.

All she could do was wait for the Moon Empress' response.

Since the Goddess of Mercy had spoken first and was the most powerful representative of the Freedom Federation present, her words represented the will of the Freedom Federation.

When the 13 members of royalty saw how Lin Yuan turned the tide and started to suppress Qian Yu and Lu Ou at the tail end of the battle, they were not only shocked by his power but also knew that the matter would not come to a close easily. There would definitely be an accident at the end.

All the Radiance Federation's members of royalty had been grappling with an internal struggle.

The Moon Empress' power had experienced a breakthrough, and she also deserved to be given the title of 'goddess'.

With the Moon Empress, that old man, the other members of royalty, and the Heavenly Family Feys from the Heavenly Family Cottage, they would be able to kill the three members of the Freedom Federation who were present, albeit it would come at a great cost.

However, there had been no news from Tower Canon. They had no idea which two of the eight Pages of Tower Canon had come to the Radiance Federation. They also did not know if Tower Canon had truly colluded with the Freedom Federation.

Thus, for the sake of the Royal Capital and the safety of all the citizens who lived in the surrounding cities, the Radiance Federation's royalty dared not take the risk and refused to do so.

As such, the Goddess of Mercy's suggestion was the best option for the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, no one could understand what the Goddess of Mercy was thinking.

The Goddess of Mercy forced herself to pull her gaze away from Lin Yuan.

The reason for her doing this was simple.

She wanted to treat the Radiance Federation well so that the discussion she would have with the Moon Empress and the old man later would be easier.

The Goddess of Mercy never cared much about anything besides herself.

She was so interested in Lin Yuan because she was attracted to his bloodline and needed to use him to create a breakthrough for herself.

Although she had activated her birth horoscope, she was not satisfied with remaining at this level of power for the rest of her life.

The Goddess of Mercy's words had essentially admitted the Freedom Federation's failure.

Although a small interlude had occurred in front of the entire audience on Star Web, the Radiance Federation's victory had been declared.

All the emotions that the audience had been suppressing were vented.

Poison Beauty, who always spoke without holding back and made people wonder if her tongue was actually forked, was crying freely in her live-streaming room.

She was not crying to attract attention or because she was touched. Rather, when she felt the sense of honor, she was suddenly overwhelmed. With such a sudden onslaught of emotions, tears welled up controllably and started to roll down her cheeks.

It was a feeling that Poison Beauty struggled to describe.

However, she was not the only one who was feeling this way.

Lu Shuang took a deep breath and could no longer hold herself back from screaming, "Black is the best! The Radiance Federation forever!"

Lu Shuang's uninhibited exclamation set off her entire audience's excitement as they shrieked, "Black is the best! The Radiance Federation forever!"

Comments of this sort lasted for a long time before someone changed the topic.

Piggy: Lin Yuan is too powerful! He killed the third Freedom Envoy! Ahhh! How did he manage to do it? I am going to do my best from now on so I can also stand at the Radiance Sacred Hall one day! DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

Glacier Setting Sun: You are so ambitious! I might have the chance to meet with Lord Lin Yuan after I become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence!

Going With the Flow: I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I used to think that he was rather useless and was just sitting on the sidelines the entire time. But he ended up being the one who finished it!

Wolf From the North: Why are all of you addressing him as Lord Lin Yuan? I think the name Black is more suitable for him! Lin Yuan is mysterious to us, but we watched Black grow! I can't help but smile as though I'm watching my child's accomplishments.

Thunder: I think that although Black's performance was the most outstanding, their teamwork was what truly shone! All of them are the best that the Radiance Federation has to offer!

Raise Sails Begin the Voyage: What do I do now? Ever since I saw Lord Lin Yuan's mermaid form, my husband seems so unattractive in comparison!

All Your Fairies are Here With Me!: I'm the same as you but the complete opposite at the same time. After seeing Lin Yuan's mermaid form, my wife pales in comparison!

It was not only Lu Shuang and Poison Beauty's live-streaming rooms. The same situation occurred in every live-streaming room.

Previously, none of them had the opportunity to watch such a battle. They were also unaware of the dangers that came with being a member of a Radiance Hundred Sequence and a Radiance Envoy.

But now, all of them knew that behind the scenes, these people were doing all the heavy lifting of supporting the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, as they looked at Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gao Feng, and Liu Yifan, all of them felt the same sense of pride.

Lan Xun had been looking at Lin Yuan with shock for some time.

He was so young!

Although his abilities seemed to perfectly counter Qian Yu, it was still impressive that he managed to kill him.

At this moment, Yin Lin tugged Lan Xun's sleeve.

When Lan Xun saw the expression on Yin Lin's face, he immediately knew what she was thinking.

Lan Xun could not help but sigh internally.

Yin Lin, you are way too nice to the Moon Empress' disciple!

1778 The Radiance Federation's Spoils!

Although Lan Xun did not want to do this as it would cause the Azure Federation to be dragged into the conflict between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation, he still stood up after a moment's contemplation.

Yin Lin had clearly sided with the Radiance Federation from the beginning.

But since Yin Lin had made her choice, there was nothing that Lan Xun could say.

At the same time, this battle showed Lan Xun how many internal problems the Freedom Federation had.

These problems within the Freedom Federation were the reason the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation's development had been able to catch up with that of the Freedom Federation.

Now, the Freedom Federation's internal problems seemed more severe than ever before.

Objectively, Lan Xun felt that it would be better to establish a partnership with the entire Radiance Federation, who worked together rather than just one of the Freedom Federation's royalty.

"Since the Goddess of Mercy has admitted the Freedom Federation has lost to the Radiance Federation, I can hand over all the stakes that had been placed with me to the Radiance Federation," said Lan Xun.

Lan Xun took out three types of spatial equipment. He could not help but squeeze them in his hands.

They contained priceless wealth and riches.

Besides the three types of top-grade strange water that Lan Xun had offered, there was also the major sea demon that came from the Lantis Mystic Realm.

Nonetheless, the resources offered by the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation were the true stars.

When Li Yang first threw out his stakes, he was full of confidence.

As such, he had offered ten mature Island Whales that had reached S-class as well as 1,000 tonnes of spiritual ingredients from Myth Breed fey.

In order to force Li Yang to bet the Seed of Satan, the Moon Empress had offered 20 mature Island Whales, three of which had reached S-class, 2,000 tonnes of spiritual ingredients that came from Myth Breed feys, 50 tonnes of spiritual ingredients that came from Creation Breed feys, 500 Law Crystals, 50 World Crystals, and ten cleansed Immortal bodies.

All of these were rare Creation Master resources.

If veteran experts that had been stuck at their current level for many years got their hands on the 500 Law Crystals, 50 World Crystals, and ten cleansed Immortal bodies, they would easily be able to break through by a small level.

Alternatively, the resources could have been used to nurture more than ten thearch-class experts and a few Immortal experts.

Most mid-sized federations could never dream of producing these resources.

There was also the Goddess of Mercy's stakes.

She had offered 150 complete fairy bloodlines, 200 different insect-species carcinoma feys, 5,000 Bronze/Epic feys, and 100 Bronze/Legend feys.

Most of these resources could only be produced by Class 4 and 5 Creation Masters.

Besides federations that had Class 5 Creation Masters, the other federations did not have any Bronze/Legend feys.

One insect-species carcinoma fey was not considered precious, but 200 different ones were a different story.

Regular factions did not have the capabilities to accumulate so many insect-species carcinoma feys. Every insect-species carcinoma fey had different abilities of destruction. Hence, they all posed different levels of danger. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/.c𝒐m

Lan Xun had checked that the 200 insect-species carcinoma feys produced by the Goddess of Mercy were indeed different. One of them was extremely powerful.

There was a young man in the Radiance Federation whose main method of combat involved insect-species carcinoma feys. It was likely that these 200 insect-species carcinoma feys would go toward significantly boosting his power.

After all, the insect-species carcinoma feys that were native to the Radiance Federation were completely different from those from the Freedom Federation.

But Lan Xun was more interested in the 150 complete fairy bloodlines.

The method of retrieving fairy bloodlines was very cruel and took up numerous resources. It was cruel because it involved killing the fairy to drain its bloodline. It took up a lot of resources because it included the resources to nurture the fairy source-type lifeforms and the resources that went into the spirit qi professional's evolution.

A fairy source-type lifeform needed to be contracted to a spirit qi professional before it could hatch and be nurtured.

But not even Class 5 Creation Masters could be fully confident of being able to drain all of a fairy's bloodline.

This meant that in order to obtain these 150 complete fairy bloodlines, 150 fairy source-type lifeforms and 150 talented experts had to have lost their lives.

Once a fairy source-type lifeform died, its contractor's spirit would be so seriously injured that they would be no different from a vegetable.

Liu Jie had personal experience with this.

Lan Xun did not know what the effects of using 150 complete fairy bloodlines would be.

Three to four complete fairy bloodlines would be able to evolve a two-winged fairy into a four-winged fairy.

If the 150 complete fairy bloodlines were used on a four-winged fairy, it was possible that it might become a six-winged fairy.

If Liu Jie's six-winged fairy used the 150 fairy bloodlines, its bloodline would also improve significantly.

The Goddess of Mercy had offered so many resources that it had been fair for her to ask for more resources from the Moon Empress besides the 300 uncontracted fairy source-type lifeforms. Eventually, the Moon Empress offered the cleansed Eternal Heart.

Due to the addition of the cleansed Eternal Heart, the Goddess of Mercy had to add 5,000 Bronze/Epic feys and 150 completed fairy bloodlines to her stakes.

Moreover, because of the major sea demon that Yin Lin had offered, the Radiance Federation went on to offer a fey with the truly Barren lifeform, while the Freedom Federation offered an intermediate devil.

Not even the Azure Federation's Class 5 families would be able to produce such a mountain of resources. Even if they managed to, it would only be after a major struggle that left them with a gaping hole in their wallets for a long time.

Lan Xun carried the resources over to the Radiance Federation's 13 members of royalty and handed them to that elderly man.

Lan Xun realized that none of the other members of royalty minded that he did this.

Although most of the resources should go to the person who had performed the best in the battle, which in this case would be Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress did not fight for the resources.

Evidently, the Radiance Federation's royalty was very united.

1779 Looking Forward to Lin Yuan in Reality!

Lan Xun was certain that if the Freedom Federation had won the battle, the Goddess of Mercy and Li Yan would have fought over the resources.

Li Yang's expression had fully darkened.

Although he had not contributed as many resources as the Goddess of Mercy, he was not a Class 5 Creation Master. Thus, he possessed far fewer resources than the Goddess of Mercy to start with.

Li Yang stared at the Goddess of Mercy and found that she was not displaying a single inkling of anger. It was as though she had not just paid a heavy cost.

!

Given Li Yang's understanding of the Goddess of Mercy, she was far from truly being so magnanimous. Moreover, she was never willing to admit failure.

While Li Yang was looking at the Goddess of Mercy, she said, "Qian Yu was my favored expert and the third Freedom Envoy of the Freedom Federation. I didn't step in to prevent his death because I was considering the Freedom Federation's pride.

"We, the Freedom Federation, are not sore losers, but Lu Ou summoned Na Na of his own accord, and she protected him. We now have two choices. We can let Lu Ou die as the most direct way of compensating for Na Na's unsanctionedly saving him. Alternatively, since Na Na was the one who saved Lu Ou, she can pay the Radiance Federation more resources, assuming that the Radiance Federation is agreeable to it."

The Goddess of Mercy's words seemed to be coming from a place of graciousness. It was as though she was solely trying to do what was best for the Freedom Federation.

But it was very strange for her to say such things.

Li Yang knew that the Goddess of Mercy was playing a longer game. Otherwise, she would surely not act this way.

However, Li Yang had never been interested in the Goddess of Mercy, and the Goddess of Mercy was trying to target Na Na now and not him. Thus, Li Yang had no reason to object.

Because of what the Goddess of Mercy said, Na Na was in a difficult position.

Na Na reached out and gently stroked Lu Ou's short silver hair as she let out a musical chuckle.

In an instant, an aura greatly resembling Lu Ou's own but on a completely different level, burst out.

Na Na's long hair fell out from her bun, and the strands turned pink and purple.

Four long horns that resembled a crown sprouted from her head.

Pink and purple demon tattoos now decorated both sides of her face. From a distance, the tattoos looked like insects.

Her voice became more demure and seductive. One careless loss of grip over one's mind would cause one to plunge into her pit of depravity.

Na Na said in an exceptionally cold voice, "I have to protect Lu Ou no matter what. Otherwise, you will just have to kill me before you get to him.

"Moon Empress, you might have started walking down the heaven's path and awakened your birth horoscope, but I'm sure the last thing you want is for the Disaster World Faceless Beast to drain the Radiance Federation of its fate.

"Night Leaning Moon, you are well aware of the capabilities of the Disaster World Faceless Beast. I shall take the loss today. I am willing to offer three uncontracted sacred source lifeforms and one special gem from a dimensional world. I'm unsure of the gem's specific abilities, but it can change the environment of the dimensional worlds and rapidly evolve dimensional lifeforms.

"Given that the Radiance Federation has recently started to venture into the abyss world, I'm sure you're looking for a way to subjugate the dimensional lifeforms. This gem will definitely be very useful to you. By now, I'm sure you have found out that the levels of dimensional lifeforms differ greatly between each other. If a regular dimensional lifeform absorbs this gem, its level will skyrocket in less than a month."

Na Na's hand shook, and three uncontracted sacred source lifeforms and one small green gem appeared in her palm.

Na Na had made her stance clear. If the Radiance Federation's 13 members of royalty refused to let Lu Ou off, they would have to kill her first.

Since she was only one step away from being able to activate her birth horoscope, she was fully capable of slaughtering all lifeforms that were below Eternal power.

She even mentioned using the Disaster World Faceless Beast to steal the Radiance Federation's fortune. This was to warn the Radiance Federation's royalty of the consequences of trying to take her on.

Frankly, her offer of three uncontracted sacred source lifeforms was already very sincere. She could have just padded it with a few more resources.

The special gem from a dimensional world was worthy of being an important foundational resource. After all, it came from a dimensional world.

Moreover, not even Na Na had figured out what special abilities the gem had.

If special experiments were done on the gem to discover what its abilities were, it would pose a very high research value.

The Goddess of Mercy had long wanted to ask Na Na for this gem but had never found the opportunity to do so.

Na Na was giving away this green gem because the Goddess of Mercy's actions had irked her and dragged her into this conflict.

She found out from Lu Ou that he had lost the child Disaster World Faceless Beast to the young man behind the Moon Empress. As such, Na Na had intended to come up with a way to regain the child Disaster World Faceless Beast.

But after what the Goddess of Mercy said, Na Na had no grounds to bring up the child Disaster World Faceless Beast.

From the moment Lin Yuan laid eyes on the green gem in Na Na's hand, the Morbius bracelet immediately started to heat up.

Morbius spoke to Lin Yuan through his mind, and Lin Yuan could tell from its tone that it was trying to contain its elation.

This was the first time that Lin Yuan had seen Morbius so delighted.

"Partner, do you remember me telling you that I'm still incomplete and need to find the things that will complete me? That green stone is exactly what I need."

Lin Yuan was instantly projected to cloud nine.

He and Morbius had been through thick and thin together, and he badly yearned for Morbius to be completed. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/.c𝒐m

Additionally, if Morbius could absorb the green gem and link it to the feys that were spirit locked in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, those feys would be able to unlock more abilities and exclusive skills.

Lin Yuan had been looking forward to such a day from the time that Morbius mentioned it. Now, it seemed that the day had finally arrived!

1780 The Goddess of Mercy Speaks Out of Righteousness!

When Lin Yuan previously communicated with Morbius, the information he learned from Morbius led him to believe that he probably would have to go to the dimensional world to seek out the items that Morbius needed to complete itself.

This was because Morbius' abilities mainly concerned sacred source lifeforms.

Given that Morbius could fuse two feys, it meant that he was definitely linked to the dimensional worlds.

Now that Morbius wanted Na Na's green crystal, it proved that Lin Yuan's guess had been correct.

!

The Morbius bracelet had more than one indentation on it.

Even if Lin Yuan could obtain the green gem, it would not be able to fully complete Morbius.

Hence, it was now necessary for Lin Yuan to explore the dimensional world.

But no matter how much Lin Yuan wanted to obtain the green dimensional gem, he knew that it was not the right time for him to bring it up because the Radiance Federation's royalty was still locking swords with Na Na. Bringing up any personal intentions would change the balance between the two federations.

Even if he could not obtain this green gem, he knew where he could find more.

At the moment that Na Na revealed the green gem, the Goddess of Mercy's expression soured.

It was true that she was very attracted to this gem and had wanted for very long to ask Na Na for it.

She had a feeling that there was more to this gem than what met the eye.

However, Na Na had never relented, even when the Goddess of Mercy offered items that were more valuable than this gem.

Na Na found it strange that the Goddess of Mercy wanted this gem and motivated her to study it in private.

The effects that Na Na just mentioned had to be the results of her study.

Whenever the Goddess of Mercy desired something, it had to become hers.

In the past, the Goddess of Mercy would have been enraged that Na Na was offering to trade this gem with the Radiance Federation.

The Goddess of Mercy could obtain the gem from Na Na if she put in more effort.

But the Goddess of Mercy doubted that she would have the chance to regain the gem landed in the hands of the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, murderous rage streaked through the Goddess of Mercy.

Hehe, this is interesting! Since you want to give away something I'm interested in, I'll make you cough up even more.

"According to the rules of the Major Federation Meeting's group battle, the winning side has the right to do whatever they want with the losing side. Since Lu Ou lost the fight, you should be offering more than just these if you want to save his life.

"When the higher devil Glutton consumes a target, it will rapidly digest some parts of the target while other parts will be stored in its stomach. Lu Ou has devoured Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian. He didn't even release his sacred source lifeform. Why don't you spit out the resources that Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian possessed, as well as the bodies of their sacred source lifeforms?

"Both Lu Ou and the higher devil in his body are still alive. You claim to be offering compensation to save Lu Ou, but you're clearly trying to save more than one life.

"The Freedom Federation envoy group came to the Radiance Federation to watch the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. I resign myself to the fact that my favored expert died as part of the no holds barred battle.

"Na Na, as a member of the Freedom Federation's royalty, you can't bring shame to the Freedom Federation. I know that you've given your Satan's Seed to Lu Ou, but if my memory serves, you have another one. Why don't you offer that as compensation to settle this matter?"

The righteous spiel that the Goddess of Mercy just produced could only be perceived as her having the Freedom Federation's best interests at heart.

It was as though she was trying to mitigate the situation after Na Na shamed the Freedom Federation.

For some reason, the Goddess of Mercy's words made Li Yang feel better.

He had led the team to the Radiance Federation, failed to achieve his goal, and had lost so many resources.

But thanks to what the Goddess of Mercy just said, Na Na was going to have to burn a hole in her pocket as well. Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

Na Na had obtained the extra Seed of Satan from Li Yang by winning it in a fight against him.

Although Li Yang could tell that the Goddess of Mercy had a personal vendetta against Na Na, he decided against getting himself involved. Instead, he was going to sit on the sidelines.

The people who were the most shocked by what the Goddess of Mercy said were the Radiance Federation's royalty. Even the Moon Empress started looking at the Goddess of Mercy with a troubled gaze.

If not for the irrefutable fact that the Goddess of Mercy was one of the Freedom Federation's 16 members of royalty, the Moon Empress would begin to wonder if she was actually part of the Radiance Federation's royalty.

The Moon Empress had almost lunged at the Goddess of Mercy when she said that she wanted to make Lin Yuan her favored expert.

The Moon Empress had only calmed down after Lin Yuan publicly turned the Goddess of Mercy down.

Ever since the Goddess of Mercy offered to make Lin Yuan her favored expert, she had spoken out on behalf of the Radiance Federation against Na Na three times.

Although all her words seemed to place her on the Freedom Federation's side, the things she did actually benefited the Radiance Federation.

The Moon Empress remembered the look that the Goddess of Mercy had shot the old man and knew that the Goddess of Mercy would seek her out after this incident.

But even after playing around with some guesses, the Moon Empress could not figure out what the Goddess of Mercy's motive was.

At first, the Moon Empress had been against Na Na's request.

But if Na Na was willing to give up the Seed of Satan, they would be willing to let her leave the Radiance Federation with Lu Ou.

The importance of the Seed of Satan was proven by the sheer amount of resources that the Moon Empress had to offer in exchange for Li Yang's Seed of Satan.

The Seed of Satan was actually not of any importance to the Moon Empress. It was only useful to devils.

The Moon Empress only wanted the Seed of Satan for Lin Yuan's sake.

According to the stakes, the Radiance Federation had obtained an intermediate devil and the major sea demon.

It had been stipulated before the bet that the intermediate devil and the major sea demon would be given to the expert from the winning team that had performed the best.

This person was not Ji Changdeng's disciple, Liu Yifan, but the Moon Empress' disciple, Lin Yuan.

Additionally, the fey with the truly Barren bloodline that the Radiance Federation had offered as part of their stakes now also belonged to Lin Yuan.

A spirit qi professional could contract a devil or sea demon after he contracted a fey with the Barren bloodline.

The Moon Empress was already trying to come up with a way to pave the way for Lin Yuan.

Na Na's jaw was tightly clenched, and the pink and purple devil tattoos on her face became even clearer. It was as though they were going to explode at any moment.

If it had been the Radiance Federation who had made this request, Na Na would still have room for negotiation.

1781 The Moon Empress' Plans for Lin Yuan!

However, the words had come from the Goddess of Mercy.

Na Na felt that the Goddess of Mercy had been acting even more erratically ever since she fused with the mermaid bloodline.

It was rumored that ten years ago, in the Freedom Federation's sea, the Goddess of Mercy had only just been given the title of 'goddess', but she had attacked the God of Fools and the Mirror God. As a result, she had been taken down by them.

Na Na was afraid that the Goddess of Mercy would abruptly do something that was disadvantageous to her. In the worst-case scenario, even if she was able to flee from the Radiance Federation, she would not be able to take Lu Ou with her.

Na Na had to forcibly cork her temper no matter how angry she was, because flaring up in front of other experts would be seen as a form of provocation. It was likely that it would cause the other members of the Radiance Federation's royalty to attack her.

Na Na said to Lu Ou, "Little Ou, spit out all the things you consumed into the stomach."

Lu Ou was still bothered by what happened to the young Disaster World Faceless Beast. However, he was aware of his duty.

Even if Na Na did not tell him to do so, Lu Ou understood the circumstances.

Lu Ou activated the spiritual power he had just recovered, and a giant black and red stomach appeared in front of him.

Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian had all been digested by the stomach.

Lu Ou spat out Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian's feys, as well as their sacred source lifeforms.

He knew that, given the circumstances, he had no choice but to spit them out. He could not hold anything back.

Lu Ou felt extremely humiliated to have to spit out all his spoils of battle.

He kept his eye fixed on Lin Yuan. He knew that this young man was definitely going to be part of the next batch of Radiance Envoys. Two years later, he was destined to cross swords with him again.

Lin Yuan saw the way Lu Ou was looking at him.

Once the battle ended, Lin Yuan no longer saw Lu Ou as his opponent.

Lu Ou had to have worked hard since he was young to have achieved such power.

Although Lin Yuan was powerful, he had only been in this world for ten months. In the past ten months, he had elevated from having nothing to being one of the top young experts in his federation. If he was given another two years to grow, even he was unsure of what level he would be able to reach.

Now that Lin Yuan was looking at Lu Ou from a different perspective, he found the way Lu Ou looked at him to be extremely amusing.

As such, Lin Yuan winked at Lu Ou.

It would be acceptable if Lin Yuan had done it to Liu Jie because they were close friends.

However, Lin Yuan and Lu Ou were enemies. As such, such an action would come off as mocking.

Lu Ou almost lost control and exploded. Luckily, his rational side took over, so he stopped himself from acting impulsively. If he had blown his top, he would probably have to pay an even higher price.

Lu Ou was not the only one who saw Lin Yuan wink at Lu Ou.

From the moment the fight ended, Lin Yuan had the spotlight shining squarely on him.

Star Web was still in a state of frenzy.

The entire audience felt proud that the Radiance Federation had defeated the Freedom Federation.

The tension had been so high during the fight that despite knowing that Black and Lin Yuan were the same person, they did not engage in hysterical debate about the matter.

Now that the group battle was over, it was the best time for the Star Web audience to release all their pent-up excitement.

The comment sections in the live-streaming rooms were racing, and all the Star Web reporters were hurriedly churning out articles. Numerous Creation Masters were also writing post after post on Star Web.

From the information that the members of veteran and top factions had leaked, many Star Web users were starting to guess that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple.

Given that Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Liu Yifan, Gao Feng, and Liu Jie's statuses were special, the Creation Masters stopped writing posts related to them and analyzing their feys.

Instead, they started using their knowledge to analyze the Freedom Federation team's feys and sacred source lifeforms instead.

Although Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian were dead, the information about their sacred source lifeforms still attracted a lot of information on Star Web.

Many young experts intended to save the recording of this battle and using it to motivate them in the future.

Lin Yuan's power had overshadowed that of the Radiance Envoy Liu Yifan during the battle. At that moment, he was even more outstanding than the members of royalty.

Hence, his wink to Lu Ou caused Star Web to erupt.

Three Questions: Ahh! Black's wink is so handsome! Even though he winked at Lu Ou, why did it make me want to smile?

Starlight Luan i: Haha! Do you see how gracious Lord Lin Yuan is? I'm willing to bet that Lu Ou will never dare to step foot in the Radiance Federation ever again!

Exactly the Case: I can't hold back! I want to scream about how amazing Lord Lin Yuan is! Later I'm going to treat my family to a meal to properly celebrate!

The Beginning of Autumn is as Beautiful as a Dream: I'm sure that Lu Ou and Lord Lin Yuan will have to meet again at the Major Federation Meeting two years later! Do you remember what ability Lu Ou used to kill Lord Liu Jie's insect-species carcinoma feys? I can't shake the feeling that that ability is extremely troublesome!

Magic Mini Jie: Lu Ou can't even defeat Lord Lin Yuan. Even if Lu Ou improves, Lin Yuan won't stop advancing either. I'm certain that this result will be repeated two years later!

The excitement on Star Web would likely continue for a long time. Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆

With this, Lin Yuan noticed that the faith power in the shrine in his soul seemed to increase at an unprecedented rate.

Lin Yuan blinked a few more times to ascertain that he was not mistaken about the increased rate of faith power accumulation.

Xia Qing and An He had watched the five versus five battle.

Xia Qing had not been acquainted with Lin Yuan before this, but he had made a deep impression on her with this battle.

When Lin Yuan had been wearing his silver mask, he came off as cold and distant to Xia Qing.

But now that Lin Yuan had removed his mask, Xia Qing was slightly dazed when she saw him wink. She could not help but let out a snort.

In her gaze now was a hint of something that even she did not recognize.

Before the battle started, Xia Qing had not felt that any of the Radiance Federation's young experts had the power to stand on the same stage as her. But now, she finally encountered someone who was not weaker than her.

1782 The Moon Empress, Lin Yuan's Teacher!

Xia Qing had always been arrogant. She had only ever played with Liu Yifan and the other current Radiance Envoys because her older brother was the first Radiance Envoy.

She had started training even earlier than Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He.

She had been born with a golden spoon in her mouth.

Although her parents had lost their lives for the sake of the Radiance Federation, her grandfather had brought her up, and he had doted on her since she was young.

She never saw Gu Lang, Zong Ze, An He, and the rest as her equals.

She did not look down on them, but power was irrefutable, and Xia Qing always lived by this creed.

Xia Qing had been willing to give up the position of Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to Liu Jie because she was very impressed by him in a way that was unrelated to his power.

She was impressed by how he had been willing to sacrifice his future to protect Cold Frost City.

It was the same way she respected her parents despite never having met them.

Xia Qing's parents had coincidentally encountered a Class 5 dimensional rift while they were out on assignment. It had appeared within Cloud Lake City's city limits during the dimensional rift active period.

Once the Class 5 dimensional rift spread, the earth would collapse, and at least half of Cloud Lake City would be plunged into a crisis, leading to an extremely high death count.

Once a dimensional rift opened, a spatial block would be set up, and phones would stop working. As such, those near the site could only wait to be rescued or leave the affected territory to seek out help.

Xia Qing's parents had been very powerful, and the two of them managed to keep the Class 5 dimensional rift under control for almost six hours.

They did not hope that they would be able to make it out of the Class 5 dimensional rift alive. Their goal was to prevent the dimensional lifeforms that charged out from the dimensional rift from entering Cloud Lake City.

By the time the Spirit Guards rushed to Cloud Lake City, Xia Qing's mother was long dead.

Xia Qing's father had also sacrificed his vitality to use his body as a shield. His injuries had been too serious, and he eventually succumbed to them.

Xia Qing related to Liu Jie because he had a similar experience with his parents. As such, she had been willing to give up her position.

If she did not feel this way, even if Liu Jie declared that he did not intend on fighting for a spot to become a Radiance Envoy, she would still have fought him for it. This would also be in spite of her having to reveal some of her power.

But just because she respected him, it did not mean that she also acknowledged his power. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/.c𝒐m

Although Liu Jie's use of insect-species carcinoma feys in his fight against Long Tao had astonished Xia Qing, she was still confident that she would be able to find a way to counter them.

Xia Qing's fey with the Barren bloodline had evolved to the Desolate bloodline last year.

If not for the rule that she was unable to enter the Barren Mystic Realm because she was not a Radiance Envoy, her fey with the Barren bloodline would be even stronger.

Xia Qing had been very nervous from the moment the battle began.

Although she had not interacted much with Zong Ze, Liu Jie, Black, and the rest, she was still afraid that they would be injured. At the same time, she was afraid that the Radiance Federation's pride would be blighted.

If not for the rules that stated that the Freedom Federation could pick the contestants, Xia Qing would have wanted to join the fray.

But when Lin Yuan summoned Chimey during his battle against Han Qi, Xia Qing realized that Lin Yuan was extraordinary.

But even then, Xia Qing did not think much of him. After all, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest were also B-rank spirit qi professionals who wielded Diamond X/Fantasy V feys that could produce attacks with Myth Breed power. For geniuses, rolling grades were common.

It was when Lin Yuan used Silver Turtle's Reflection Attack to reflect the Creation Breed fey's attack that Xia Qing acknowledged Lin Yuan's power.

Despite being a B-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan had been able to produce power that was an entire grade above his level.

Only such power could sit at the same table as Xia Qing.

It could be said that this was the first time that Xia Qing had found someone among her peers who she could communicate with. As a result of this acknowledgment, she felt increasingly closer to Lin Yuan.

When Na Na saw how livid Lu Ou was because Lin Yuan winked at him, she said, "Little Ou, you still have a long way to go. Remember this day. After just another two years, you'll be able to scrub away the humiliation of today!"

After Na Na said this, the Moon Empress' gaze changed.

From the way Na Na said such a thing given the circumstances, it showed that she had absolute confidence in her power.

At the same time that Lu Ou nodded in response to what Na Na said, the Goddess of Mercy said, "I have other matters to attend to and shall take my leave first."

Li Yang and Na Na's expressions changed again.

They were currently in the Radiance Federation, and the three of them represented the same interests.

The Goddess of Mercy was the strongest among the three members of the Freedom Federation's royalty present.

Once the Goddess of Mercy left, the might of the Freedom Federation would be greatly diminished.

Thus, the two of them had no choice but to leave with her.

Na Na took out a Seed of Satan and three uncontracted sacred source lifeforms and tossed them to the Moon Empress along with the green gem.

The Mountain River Grain God Bells glinted beautifully, and the barrier in the air disappeared.

The Goddess of Mercy, Na Na, and Li Yang took the members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence who had not competed in the battle and Lu Ou, and they left the Radiance Federation together.

This year's Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had finally come to a close.

The Moon Empress turned and handed over the resources Na Na gave her to him as she said, "Na Na saved Lu Ou from you. As such, you should be the one to take possession of these resources. As for the remainder of the stakes, I, your Master, will deliver them to you tomorrow."

This was the first time that the Moon Empress had addressed herself as Lin Yuan's Master publicly. Her words had been a declaration of Lin Yuan's identity.

The broadcast on Star Web had not ended, so the entire audience heard what the Moon Empress said to Lin Yuan.

Ever since the mask fell from Lin Yuan's face, rumors that Black was the Moon Empress' disciple started swirling around Star Web.

However, that was all it had been then, unconfirmed rumors. After all, the Moon Empress had never publicly made known that Lin Yuan was her disciple yet, nor had he addressed the Moon Empress as his Master.

There were many people who found this speculation to be ludicrous as it seemed blasphemous to spread rumors about the Moon Empress!

But it turned out that the rumor was true.

The Moon Empress had personally confirmed the relationship between her and Lin Yuan.

This caused Star Web to immediately erupt into a frenzy.

1783 Little Yuan, Go and Change Your Clothes!

But as shocked as they were, Lin Yuan being the Moon Empress' disciple was the only explanation for why Lin Yuan was so strong despite his young age.

Since Lin Yuan and Black became popular on Star Web, the Star Web users had been trying to guess their identities.

Although they proved that Black and Lin Yuan were the same person, it had never been officially announced.

But now, Lin Yuan's identity was revealed.

There were many Creation Masters who had been analyzing Lin Yuan's feys to make use of his popularity. But now that his identity had been confirmed, the Creation Masters deleted all these posts.

Lin Yuan looked at the Moon Empress, and a smile of pride played on his lips as he remembered what she had just said.

He hurriedly said, "Master, I'll go over to your place tomorrow! I want to go away to train for some time after the end of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection."

The Moon Empress was slightly stunned when she heard what he said, but her expression quickly softened.

She reached out to adjust his collar, which had become messy from battle, as she said, "Little Yuan, put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume I brought for you. Now that the uninvited guest is gone, we can continue with the ceremony of the Radiance Hundred Sequence!"

While the Moon Empress spoke, Mystic Moon carried the ornate box containing the Moonbeam Coronation Costume over to Lin Yuan and said softly, "Young Lord, come with me into the Radiance Sacred Hall to change your clothes."

Lin Yuan had been about to turn Mystic Moon down and say that he could change his clothes by himself when he remembered how complicated the Moonbeam Coronation Costume had been and how difficult it was to put on. As such, he decided not to turn Mystic Moon's offer down.

If Lin Yuan had to put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume on his own, he would take at least half an hour to put on all the fastenings and accessories. After all, there were over 100 pieces of accessories.

It had been too long since he last put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume, and he had only done it once. As such, he could no longer remember where each adornment went.

When Lin Yuan followed Mystic Moon into the Radiance Sacred Hall, Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gao Feng, Xia Qing, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest all heard what Lin Yuan had said.

When Xia Qing saw Lin Yuan exhibit his power, she felt that she had finally found a young expert who was just as powerful as she was. But the rest took it as a realization of how large the gap between them and Lin Yuan was. It dawned on them that the gap was larger than they had expected.

Gu Lang and An He were well aware that if Lin Yuan had not participated in the battle and one of them took his place instead, they would not have been able to win.

Despite being so strong, Lin Yuan still wanted to train. He was so hardworking that An He felt slightly ashamed.

He now knew that in addition to the difference in talent, the gap between him and Lin Yuan was also due to other factors.

The members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence no longer dared to treat Lin Yuan as their goal because the gap between him and them was just much too massive.

Nonetheless, his diligence still encouraged them.

The other 12 members of royalty were looking at the Moon Empress. All of them knew that she asked Lin Yuan to put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume because she wanted to officially declare his identity to the world.

The entire world was in a state of chaos. It not only involved the Freedom Federation and Radiance Federation because no matter how strong they were, but they also could not influence the entire main world.

Besides the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation, none of the federations with Class 5 Creation Masters had halted.

The Spirit Mother Federation and Sand Island Continent had already started clashing.

For some reason, Tower Canon had been hiding in the shadows.

Even the federations that did not have Class 5 Creation Masters but were within a large continent also had not halted their footsteps.

At such a time, nurturing a batch of young experts had a completely different connotation from the past. In this chaotic world, the young experts had a much heavier burden resting on their shoulders.

With this thought, the members of royalty who had disciples waved them over. Ji Changdeng called An He over, Chef Supreme called Zong Ze over, the Bamboo Monarch called Gu Lang over, Night Leaning Moon called Liu Jie over, and Cicada Song beckoned to Gao Feng. Even the old man gestured for Xia Qing to return to his side.

All of them handed a version of their own coronation costumes to their disciples.

Since the Moon Empress had made her move, there was no reason for the rest of the royalty not to follow suit.

It was a good chance to add more responsibility to these disciples.

Two years later, the battle would be much bloodier than today. It would also be more formal.

Once Lin Yuan put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume, Mystic Moon said, "Young Lord, if not for the fact that Blood New Moon is hidden in your hair, the Moon Empress would have rushed down numerous times to interfere!"

Lin Yuan was touched.

But frankly, even if Blood New Moon was not hiding in his hair, he would not want the Moon Empress to interfere, even if he had ended up losing to Lu Ou.

Word would definitely spread about how Na Na had stepped in to protect Lu Ou. As a result, the Freedom Federation's reputation would take a hit.

Lin Yuan did not want the Radiance Federation's honor to be blemished because of him.

Although he had lived another life, he had still been born from his mother in this world. His heart was bound to the Radiance Federation. There was no question that he belonged to the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan had his own plans and ideas.

Once the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended, Lin Yuan intended to immediately head to the Divine Wood Federation. Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐

This was because the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm had opened, and he had left Di Wanmi in the Divine Wood Federation.

Although Di Wanmi was only Red Thorn's puppet, she was still a genuine Class 5 Creation Master.

Through this fight against the Freedom Federation, Lin Yuan knew that he did not have much time left. In this short time frame, he would have to conquer the Startling Lines Continent.

Moreover, he could not neglect his venture into the marsh world.

Since he had already ascertained that the things that Morbius needed to complete itself could be found in the dimensional worlds, Lin Yuan would first search through the Marsh East Palace in the Marsh East Circle.

Lin Yuan had not dared to enter the Marsh East Circle yet because he did not believe that he had enough to do so. After all, it was a city built by the strongest Apostles and where they gathered.

It was rumored that a Dictator had appeared in the Marsh East Circle.

Given that Lin Yuan was a fake Dictator, he dared not take his chances against an actual Dictator.

But now, there was ten times more faith power in the shrine in his soul than there had been before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

If he used such a massive amount of faith power on White Speak, its power would definitely exceed that of Apostle!

1784 Mystic Moon is Stunned By Beauty!

Lin Yuan had never had the chance to try it out.

But considering the benefits that his faith power had on Apostles, Lin Yuan intended to properly test it out on White Speak when he went to the marsh world.

When Lin Yuan used faith power to boost the Invisible Demon, he found out that dimensional lifeforms had conditions that came with their power.

When Shadow had Creation Breed power, Lin Yuan would only be able to use faith power to boost Shadow to Immortal power.

When Shadow reached Immortal power, Lin Yuan would only be able to use faith power to boost it to pinnacle Immortal power.

If Lin Yuan used the faith power in his shrine to boost White Speak, which had Immortal power, it would definitely be able to break through to reach Eternal power.

However, it would not be able to increase its level by such a large extent during its next evolution.

Hence, Lin Yuan felt that he should use his identity as a Dictator to accept an Apostle that was even more powerful than White Speak. It would be best if that Apostle's power had already reached Eternal or was a Class 13 dimensional lifeform.

Lin Yuan had heard from White Speak that just because an Apostle could reach Class 13 did not mean that it would be able to evolve into a Dictator.

Among 100 Class 13 Apostles, only one of them would be able to transform into Dictator. Moreover, when they attempted to evolve into Dictator, they put themselves in great danger. There was a significant risk that their power would devolve.

There was a rumor that sacred source lifeforms that came from Class 5 dimensional rifts that opened unexpectedly when it was not the dimensional rift active period would have a more intense rainbow color than other sacred source lifeforms.

With this secret information in mind, Lin Yuan thought, The Class 5 dimensional rifts that open unexpectedly are probably linked to the Class 13 Apostles that failed to become Dictators. Since it's so difficult and perilous for Apostles to transform into Dictators, it's likely that any Apostle will agree to submit to me as long as I'm able to help it break through and increase its life rank.

Similar to how feys needed pure spirit qi to evolve their powers, regardless of what level dimensional lifeforms reached, they would always need source-type power.

Lin Yuan had accumulated a significant amount of source-type power.

Even if Lin Yuan did not have enough faith power in his shrine, he would be able to deceive White Speak by fusing with Dark Blue.

But now that Lin Yuan's store of faith power had multiplied, he felt that it would even be possible for him to fool the marsh world's Dictators.

Although he had never liked to rely on the Moon Empress, the Eternal Sacred Cry Moon Beast had transformed into the marsh world's light green moon.

If Lin Yuan truly encountered anything he could not explain, he would be able to turn to the Sacred Cry Moon Beast for help.

Once he arrived at the Marsh East Palace, he would have to visit the Palace of Everything.

The reason he needed to go to the Palace of Everything was simple. He wanted to trade for resources.

If a sacred source lifeform came from a Class 5 dimensional rift, it would be impossible to find out what was within the ball of rainbow light.

But if the Apostle was killed, the abilities of the sacred source lifeform it turned into could be estimated based on the abilities its totem had when it was still alive. Even if the estimate was not accurate, it would be enough to determine if this sacred source lifeform was suitable for a spirit qi professional.

White Speak said that the source-type items and sacred source lifeforms available for trading in the Palace of Everything came with a description of its background.

Given the unstable state of the world, Lin Yuan needed to strengthen Sky City as soon as possible. The most important part of this was increasing the power of its members.

Sky City now had many core members.

Besides Liu Jie, Wen Yu, the Mother of Bloodbath, and Endless Summer, there were also Duan He, Ji Feng, Listen, and the rest who came later.

Finally came Qin Lun, Qin Yu, Little Flower, and Little Grass.

The Astronomical Parliament was based on Sky City. Besides Yin Lin, who had an impressive background, the other members of the Astronomical Parliament needed a sea of resources to grow.

As Morbius evolved, the Spirit Lock spatial zone would become larger and more facilities would appear. Visjt n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for new updates

Besides having access to pure spirit qi, he also had pure elemental energy from the Element Well. These were resources that all spirit qi professionals needed.

The Radiance Federation was a well-oiled machine, and Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest were all Lin Yuan's friends.

In the next two years, Lin Yuan was not going to be miserly when it came to these friends.

With such a large burden of resource drain, Lin Yuan was not only pressurized but also motivated.

Lin Yuan had been extremely cooperative when Mystic Moon was helping him to put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume. However, Mystic Moon could tell from Lin Yuan's eyes that he was deep in thought.

Mystic Moon hurriedly sealed his lips. He thought that Lin Yuan had experienced a lightbulb during the battle.

Mystic Moon was a dragon-species fey and was very particular when it came to beauty.

The Moon Empress and Cold Moon were well aware of this.

If he had three fruits placed in front of him, Mystic Moon would definitely choose the best-looking one, even if it tasted the worst out of the three.

With his selectiveness for beauty, Mystic Moon had been stupefied when Lin Yuan suddenly transformed into a merman. Because of this, his idea of beauty had been utterly refreshed.

Now that Lin Yuan had removed his transformation and Mystic Moon had the chance to examine him, Mystic Moon realized that Lin Yuan's facial features as a human were almost the same as when he was a merman. The only difference was that as a merman, Lin Yuan's bone structure and facial features were softer.

As a human, Lin Yuan lacked the feminine beauty that he had as a merman but gained the unique vigor and brightness that came with youth.

It was hard to use words to describe the complexity and depth of his vigor and brightness. They made Lin Yuan seem unlike a young man of only 19 years old.

But at the same time, Mystic Moon could understand this because he knew what kind of life Lin Yuan and Chu Ci had led in the past.

With Mystic Moon's help, Lin Yuan was done putting on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume quickly.

As Morbius evolved its grade, the information displayed on True Data also became more detailed.

1785 Lin Yuan is an Homme Fatale!

When he last put on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume, he had used True Data to check on its materials out of curiosity.

He found that he could not check on most of the materials.

But when he tried again this time, he could see most of them. However, there was still a small portion of materials that Morbius' grade was not high enough to check on.

This shocked Lin Yuan.

Morbius could not even check on lifeforms that had almost reached Immortal.

If Morbius could not access the information on the materials, it meant that some of the materials came from the bodies of Eternal feys.

Although Lin Yuan had his fair share of experience, he now knew just how opulent the Moonbeam Coronation Costume was.

With the Moonbeam Coronation Costume hanging off his body, Lin Yuan's aura immediately became more dignified and elite. When this aura was mixed with his original brightness, he seemed very approachable.

Mystic Moon reached out and adjusted the collar around Lin Yuan's neck as he said, "The Moon Empress has great foresight. She had the Moonbeam Coronation Costume made while she knew you were still growing, so she added a layer of the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish's skin on the inner lining. Otherwise, it would be too small for you now!"

From what Mystic Moon said, Lin Yuan could tell how much effort the Moon Empress had put into creating the Moonbeam Coronation Costume for him.

The coronation costume worn by the members of royalty did not have this lining of the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish's skin.

Lin Yuan had heard that the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish was a fish-species carcinoma fey.

Once it appeared, it would rapidly absorb all the spatial energy in its surroundings. It would then digest the spatial energy to evolve itself.

As a result, the space would become perforated and unstable. It was highly likely that it would cause many dimensional rifts to open in a small area.

It had the same danger level as the Dark Sun Send Mess Butterflies that Lin Yuan had recently encountered in the Divine Wood Federation.

In order to cultivate the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish, the space had to be fortified first. Then, it had to be fed a large amount of spatial spiritual ingredients.

The Silver Gauze Pearl Fish's original color was bluish-gray, and it was skilled at camouflaging.

By the time the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish's skin turned silver, and its skin started to change to a gauze-like texture, it could be carefully shaved off. This would not cause any harm to the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish.

However, the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish's grade could not be raised, and it would return to absorbing more spatial energy to change its skin.

Every layer of the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish's skin was a space in itself.

Besides the toughness of its skin which would allow Lin Yuan to wear the Moonbeam Coronation Costume forever when an attack landed on the Moonbeam Coronation Costume, the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish would add a layer of defense.

Moreover, its skin was made of interlocking spaces. The spatial links had to be broken before the damage would reach Lin Yuan.

One Silver Gauze Pearl Fish needed to be fed spatial spiritual ingredients for half a year before its skin was ready to be removed.

At least 30 sets of the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish skin had gone into lining Lin Yuan's Moonbeam Coronation Costume.

Lin Yuan expected that the Moon Empress had used up her store of the Silver Gauze Pearl Fish skin to make the Moonbeam Coronation Costume.

Mystic Moon checked the time and said, "Young Lord, it's almost time. Let's go out."

Lin Yuan followed Mystic Moon out to the Radiance Sacred Hall's lounge.

He saw Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, An He, and the rest standing at the entrance of the Radiance Sacred Hall. All of them were dressed in an imitation of their master's coronation costume.

The only one Lin Yuan did not recognize was a young girl who had long hair that reached her waist. She was clearly younger than the others by about one or two years.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to greet the group, the young girl wearing the light gold coronation costume with a golden tree embroidered on it headed over to him.

From the moment he saw the gold tree, Lin Yuan instantly knew who she was.

The Moon Empress had told him that the strongest of the Radiance Federation's young experts, who was the best contender to become a Radiance Envoy was that old man's granddaughter, Xia Qing. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

Not long ago, a giant gold and ancient tree had sprouted from the imperial court and shaded almost the entire Radiance Federation. It had stopped the thousands of falling volcanoes that fell out of the balloon flower in the sky.

From the golden tree that was embroidered on her clothes, it was likely that this young girl was Xia Qing.

Xia Qing walked over to Lin Yuan, smiled, and said in a friendly voice, "Nice to meet you, Lin Yuan. My name is Xia Qing."

When the others spotted Lin Yuan, they also rushed over to him.

Zong Ze, Liu Jie, Gao Feng, and the rest were not acquainted with Xia Qing.

However, An He was looking at Xia Qing in a strange way.

He remembered his senior brother mentioning that Xia Qing was cold and was not prone to friendliness. She usually only nodded when she met the rest of them.

So, why was she suddenly acting so differently with Lin Yuan?

The most surprised people were Mystic Moon and the man in the gold half-armor standing behind Xia Qing.

Both of them were much more familiar with Xia Qing and knew how haughty she was.

She was clearly more pleasant toward him than the rest of the younger generation.

Mystic Moon thought, Lin Yuan is truly worthy of being the Young Lord of the Radiant Moon Palace. He is beloved wherever he goes.

However, it was evident that the man in the gold half-armor did not have the same thoughts running through his head.

He warily glanced at Lin Yuan before shifting his gaze to Xia Qing as he thought, The Moon Empress' disciple is a homme fatale!

It was rumored that there was something going on between the Azure Envoy Yin Lin and Lin Yuan. Both of them had even shared a fey carriage.

When the Freedom Federation proposed the fight to the Radiance Federation, Yin Lin had suddenly inserted herself and sided with the Radiance Federation.

The man with the gold half armor noticed that before she first spoke, her gaze had first swept through the people from the Radiance Federation before it landed on the Moon Empress.

At that time, the man in the gold half-armor had not understood why she did this.

But now, he guessed that she had been searching for Lin Yuan.

This meant that she already knew that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple but did not know that he was also Black. Thus, she had not been able to find him.

Xia Qing was currently 19 years and would turn 20 years old in another three months. That was the age when girls started taking an interest in romance.

1786 You're Too Good at Smiling!

Any intentions that arose at this age would likely follow them for the rest of their lives.

The Moon Empress had risen to prominence when she was 20 years old.

At that time, she had been so radiant that although she had rivals, no one dared to claim victory over her.

Although her character was extremely cold, she stole the hearts of many, including Long Lamplight.

One of the leaders of a Class 5 family from the Azure Federation had attended one of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selections and also ended up falling in love with the Moon Empress at first sight. He still had not wed. However, since he could not continue the family name, he gave up his position as the head of his family to his younger brother. He now remained on the sidelines to watch over his family.

This incident caused the Moon Empress to be forever frowned upon by the Azure Day Tiger family.

Although this was not the Moon Empress' fault in any way, the previous head of the Azure Day Tiger family had done many embarrassing things while trying to court her. As a result, he had even received two beatings from Night Leaning Moon and Long Lamplight.

When Night Leaning Moon came to the man dressed in gold half armor's mind, he bit his lip forcefully. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin.c/om

He could not understand the relationship between Night Leaning Moon and the Moon Empress. Alas, he could only set these questions aside because he dared not voice his curiosity.

At that moment, Lin Yuan reached out his hand and shook Xia Qing's hand as he said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Xia Qing. My name is Lin Yuan."

When Lin Yuan smiled, two dimples appeared on his cheeks. Pearly teeth were sandwiched between ruby lips, and his other features shone as well,

Lin Yuan's smile caused the half-armored man's heart to skip a beat.

Oh my God! The Moon Empress' disciple is too good at smiling! How is any young lady supposed to stand up to it?

Xia Qing was momentarily stunned when she saw Lin Yuan's smile. But before she could speak, Gao Feng patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and said, "Brother Lin, you're so strong! If not for you, we would definitely have lost the battle!"

Gao Feng was straightforward and was still riding on an adrenaline rush from their victory.

Thus, he had not thought about Liu Yifan before he spoke. It was as though the third Radiance Envoy had been useless.

It was true that Liu Yifan's performance had not been outstanding during the battle. But if not for the Peach Prosper Jay, Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow, Four-Animal Eight-Trigram Deer, and Gem Witch, they would have lost long ago even if the Insect Queen had fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects. They would not have had time to wait for Liu Yifan to break out of his stalemate with the Disaster World Faceless Beast to take control of the fight.

Defense-type spirit qi professionals were never eye-catching and had even less presence in a team than pure support-type spirit qi professionals did.

In the past, An He would have been ticked off when he heard this because of how protective he felt over his senior brother.

But now, he did not feel this way because he had watched the fight from the start to the end.

Gao Feng had spoken the truth and had no intention of insulting anyone.

Although An He, Liu Jie, Gao Feng, Gu Lang, Zong Ze, and Lin Yuan had held a meeting before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and had even told each other about their feys and sacred source lifeforms' abilities, they had not had enough time to summon their feys to demonstrate their abilities and exclusive skills.

As such, Lin Yuan's feys came as a surprise to all of them.

Previously, An He had never believed that there could be a comprehensive spirit qi professional in the world.

There were four major categories of spirit qi professionals, power offense, defense, healing, and support. Every spirit qi professional belonged to one of these categories so they would be able to fit themselves into a team.

There were spirit qi professionals who could belong to two categories, but this meant that they would not be as strong as a spirit qi professional who specialized in one. After all, a person's spiritual energy and the number of feys they could contract were limited.

However, Lin Yuan had completely transformed An He's perspective.

From An He's previous experience with Lin Yuan, the latter had only shown his abilities as a power offense-type spirit qi professional.

When An He found out that Lin Yuan was Black, his first instinct was to say that it was ludicrous. This was because Black was a healing-type spirit qi professional.

But in this battle, Black had recovered his teammates' spiritual power, and the Source Sand had helped the team to defend against the attacks and provided cover for the insect tide. The strange appearance of the healing-type fey had saved Liu Jie's life and healed the Yellow Spring Lily.

In terms of attack, besides the attack from Zong Ze that broke the three-way link, the Insect Queen had mostly only helped in terms of containment.

Thus, the attacks that secured their victory had all come from Lin Yuan.

Up till now, An He had always been haughty. It was extremely difficult for him to feel admiration for someone.

Even when Lin Yuan gave him a large amount of Creation Master resources that enabled him to evolve the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragons' bloodline, An He only added gratitude to the friendship he felt toward Lin Yuan.

But after the battle, An He well and truly admired Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan anxiously waved his hands when he heard what Gao Feng said and replied, "We won this battle thanks to everyone's effort! If the rest of you didn't protect me at the start, I would have been killed by the opponent long ago."

Lin Yuan was not trying to be humble but was stating facts.

All five members of the team had done everything that they could.

Even now, Lin Yuan felt that the Disaster World Faceless Beast was exceptionally strong.

Lin Yuan felt that his soul power, spiritual energy, and mind were stronger than that of his peers. But when he was under attack by the Disaster World Faceless Beast, he had to continuously use Calm Mind to protect his mind.

If Yan Ling, Cai Huo, You Changjian, or Qian Yu had been able to get close to him, they would have been able to attack and kill him.

This battle had allowed Lin Yuan to gain a deep understanding of his own power.

When Qian Yu died, Lu Ou had been forced to summon Na Na. This meant that both of them had used up all their secret weapons.

However, the same could not be said for Lin Yuan.

Besides those untouchable secret weapons, he still had two unused Sword Skills as well as the Sacred Sword's second ability.

The Sacred Sword's second ability was truly Lin Yuan's strongest secret weapon.

1787 No One Will Be Able to Bully You!

Mystic Moon always knew what kind of a person Lin Yuan was. He did not find it strange at all that Lin Yuan had said what he said.

However, the man wearing golden armor shot a surprised look at Lin Yuan.

Setting aside how this young man did not even have a shred of arrogance, he even handled things in such a thoughtful manner.

Xia Qing and Lin Yuan had never pitted their powers against each other. As such, it would be difficult to say who would win in a fight.

Qian Yu had definitely been more powerful than Lin Yuan. Yet, Lin Yuan had managed to counter everything that Qian Yu had thrown at him.

Xia Qing's sacred source lifeform would probably be able to restrain Lin Yuan to a certain extent.

However, Xia Qing was a far way from Lin Yuan, both in terms of power and character.

Xia Qing was so arrogant that it created a rift between her and everyone else. This made her unsuitable to be a leader.

This was why that old man did not want Xia Qing to become the first-ranked Radiance Envoy.

As he looked at Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and the rest chattered excitedly with Lin Yuan, the man in the gold half-armor scanned Lin Yuan.

For some reason, a new sense of hope bloomed within him.

Unity had always been the Radiance Federation's greatest strength.

When Lin Yuan and the rest walked into the Radiance Sacred Hall wearing their coronation costumes, the entire audience on Star Web started to cheer.

The cheers were juxtaposed against the stern music playing in the Radiance Sacred Hall.

If Lin Yuan had control of the Disaster World Faceless Beast, he would definitely have noticed that the Radiance Federation's fortune was rapidly rising.

The Moon Empress stood on her golden pillar and looked down with pride at Lin Yuan, who was walking toward her.

Up till this point, every step that Lin Yuan had taken had been extremely challenging. This was the only way he could have accumulated such immense power.

The Moon Empress could relate because she was the only one who knew how much hard work she had put in to change herself from just another face in the crowd to who she was today.

Power was not a matter of luck. In order to attain it, one had to arduously climb the ladder.

The Moon Empress could not help him alleviate any of the challenges.

In fact, he had helped her far more than she had aided him.

Besides the pure spirit qi, he gave her the Lifespan Mouse that saved her life.

The Moon Empress reached out and grabbed Lin Yuan as she said, "Little Yuan, the entire world will be yours. Go ahead and soar!"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He suddenly remembered that the Moon Empress had said something similar to him when he started building Sky City.

But then, the Moon Empress had said that to give him courage. She wanted him to know that she would always be there as a source of strong support that would protect him from anything so he did not have to worry and could do whatever he wanted.

But now, the Moon Empress' words had been full of affirmation and hope.

He gently held her hand and said, "Master, I will reach an even higher frontier and find more moons for you."

If Lin Yuan had said something like this when he first became her disciple, she would have been touched but would not believe him.

But Lin Yuan had already gifted her a light green moon.

When the Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan again, she realized that he had already changed from a young boy to a real man.

However, she did not know how she felt about this. She felt happy and proud but also slightly bitter.

This feeling was extremely similar to how Lin Yuan felt when he realized that Chu Ci had grown up.

"Little Yuan, nothing has changed. No matter how high you fly, I'll be there to protect you! As long as I'm still alive, no one will be able to bully you!"

When Lin Yuan and the rest were still fighting against the Freedom Federation team, the Moon Empress and the rest of the Radiance Federation's royalty had all been on guard.

After all, they had received word from the Heavenly Family Cottage that two of Tower Canon's eight Pages were coming to the Radiance Federation.

However, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had ended, and none of the eight Pages had appeared. The Freedom Federation had not even caused an overly large commotion.

The Moon Empress found this to be extremely strange.

But what bothered her the most was the change in attitude that the Goddess of Mercy had toward the Radiance Federation.

Given that they had been on the Radiance Federation's territory, it would be better to keep their noses clean. The best-case scenario was that no confrontations broke out.

But once conflicts did break out, the people who would be the most seriously hurt were regular people.

Blood New Moon had been hiding in Lin Yuan's hair all this time.

A beautiful woman wearing a light purple leather cloak was sitting next to Blue Lotus and White Phoenix in the Return from Faraway Mansion.

The woman was staring unblinkingly at the Mother of Bloodbath while tears threatened to spill from her eyes at any moment.

Every once in a while, a pearl of tears did manage to slip out and roll down her face. When that happened, it would instantly cause the air to ripple, and beautiful foxtail flowers would bloom in the air. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

The Mother of Bloodbath had heard from Blood New Moon that this beautiful woman was the leader of the Heavenly Family Cottage, Purple Love. He also told her Purple Love would send over the fragments of its mother's soul.

When the Mother of Bloodbath and Blood New Moon had talked through the night, Blood New Moon told the Mother of Bloodbath about the relationship between its mother and Purple Love.

After its mother had been killed by Fifth Page Truth, Purple Love had been able to kill the enemy headquarters on her own and even killed First Page Fate while seriously injured.

This was enough to make the Mother of Bloodbath's family indebted to Purple Love.

Although the Mother of Bloodbath's personality had always been aloof, it still hurriedly addressed Purple Love as 'Auntie Purple' when it saw her.

When the Mother of Bloodbath greeted her with such a term, a warm smile spread across Purple Love's face.

She reached out and hugged the Mother of Bloodbath as she said, "Little Love, you have suffered all these years!"

Blue Lotus and White Phoenix had been waiting in the Return from Faraway Mansion for Purple Love to arrive as well as to hear back from Blood New Moon.

Blue Lotus and White Phoenix also found it strange that Tower Canon had not appeared yet.

However, it was impossible that the news they received was fake.

The two of them felt that once the two Pages of Tower Canon appeared, their power, in addition to that of the Radiance Federation's royalty, would be enough to capture the two Pages of Tower Canon.

As long as a few members of royalty kept watch of the surroundings, they could keep the damage to a minimum.

Now that Purple Love was here as well, her power had reached beyond Eternal and was worthy of being addressed as 'goddess' by human standards.

This would put them at an even greater advantage against the two Pages of Tower Canon.

But where were the people from Tower Canon? Could they have heard that they were being expected and fled?

While Blue Lotus and White Phoenix were thinking, they had no idea that there was a person sitting in the Spirit Food Pavilion who was even more anxious than them.

1788 Righteousness and Judgment!

The ceremony after the fight against the Freedom Federation had ended, and the broadcast of the Radiance Sacred Hall had stopped.

It could be said that the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had officially ended.

The young Radiance elites had defeated the young Freedom elites and won glory for the Radiance Federation.

Any person from a household of decent income had come to the Spirit Food Pavilion to have a feast with their family to celebrate. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

When they arrived at the Spirit Food Pavilion, they would find that there was a man with righteous features frowning in the corner of the restaurant.

He was completely ignoring the efforts of the women around him who were trying to flirt with him.

While he was thinking, he looked toward the Radiance Sacred Hall.

This man with righteous features was Sixth Page Lashing.

He was well aware of the plan that he and Second Page Revival had.

Now that the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had ended, even if he had not used the Black Mass Cup, Second Page Revival should have made a move by now.

But nothing had happened at the Barren Mystic Realm behind the Radiance Sacred Hall, and no one had started fighting.

The Mountain River Grain God Bells had been stored away ages ago.

An hour ago, Sixth Page Lashing had clearly sensed the auras of the Freedom Federation's Goddess of Mercy, Na Na, and Li Yang passing by the Spirit Food Pavilion. This meant that they had left the Radiance Federation.

Second Page Revival's one-sided changing of the plan had given Second Page Revival a surprise.

Now, Second Page Revival was returning with another surprise for Sixth Page Lashing.

Sixth Page Lashing now had three choices.

The first option would be to remain in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital for some time to observe the situation silently. But given the current situation, going with this option would be a waste of time.

Moreover, his target was not the Radiance Federation, and it was just a testing site.

His true aim was to help his organization to discover Tower Canon's secrets.

In the past few years, First Page Fate had recruited him to become Tower Canon's Sixth Page Lashing.

However, Sixth Page Lashing noticed that there was an untouchable bubble within Tower Canon.

Although he was the Sixth Page of Tower Canon, he could not breach the bubble to gain access to Tower Canon's deepest secrets.

When First Page Fate died, Sixth Page Lashing waited for Tower Canon to react.

But once First Page Fate died, First Page Crimson emerged.

Moreover, Second Page Revival seemed to be acquainted with First Page Crimson. She carried out all of his missions with determination and addressed him as 'Lord First Page Crimson', as though she was beneath her.

This made Sixth Page Lashing immediately pick up that something was not right.

Without his help, Second Page Revival should have fallen in a fight against the Radiance Federation.

Second Page Revival had wanted to see if First Page Crimson would come to Second Page Revival's aid.

Once First Page Crimson and Second Page Revival started battling the Radiance Federation, there was no way the secrets could continue being kept under wraps.

His second option was to return to Tower Canon.

However, Sixth Page Lashing could not be sure if an accident had happened to Second Page Revival or if she had returned to Tower Canon because she thought he had gone missing.

If an accident had happened to her, he would not be suspected if he returned to Tower Canon and came up with a reasonable excuse. But if she had returned to Tower Canon, he would be walking to his own demise if he returned to Tower Canon after her.

As for the third option, Sixth Page Lashing could return to his organization and go back to being Precious Sword 4.

But if he did this, all the years of hard work being undercover in Tower Canon and everything he had to do would have been for nothing.

At the same moment that Sixth Page Lashing decided to take a gamble and return to Tower Canon, his phone rang.

The call had to be coming from his organization.

When he picked up the call, a gentle voice said in an urgent tone, "Ah Shuo! Tower Canon found out that you're a double agent! Come back immediately! Captain's orders!"

Sixth Page Lashing fell silent for a moment before he replied, "Xi Cai, how does Captain know that my identity has been exposed?"

Xi Cai's codename in the organization was 'Tower'. She was in charge of handling the organization's internal affairs and communication between the members.

She would not release fake news just to convince him to return to the organization. It had to be that their internal department had obtained relevant intelligence.

Sixth Page Lashing did not rebuke the girl this time for calling him 'Ah Shuo'.

As such, Xi Cai knew that he had already been considering returning to the organization.

She said in a gentle voice, "Ah Shuo, I know that you're reluctant to let 40 years of undercover work in Tower Canon go to waste, but the information comes from Judgment. Moreover, you can regain your original codename Righteousness. You don't have to address yourself as Precious Sword 4 anymore. From today onward, the Sixth Page of Tower Canon has nothing to do with you!"

Xi Cai's words caused shock to spread across Sixth Page Lashing's face.

Judgment was the codename for another member of the organization.

This meant that the organization had another undercover member in Tower Canon.

The man pondered for a while but could not figure out which of the other seven Pages could be Judgment.

He had not heard the codename Righteousness in over 40 years,

Since he could not return to Tower Canon, he was not going to insist otherwise.

He stretched and revealed the outlines of his perfect muscles.

The women around him all became mesmerized by this sight.

His furrowed brow finally relaxed as he said, "Xi Cai, tell Captain that Righteousness is tired and wants to take a vacation! I will return in two months and tell him not to miss me!"

The man stood up and shot a flirty look at the women around him before he left the Spirit Food Pavilion and soon disappeared into the crowd.

When Xi Cai heard the cavalier and irksome tone that she had not heard in over 40 years, she knew that the Righteousness from 40 years ago had returned.

The organization would be launching a big operation two months later, and Righteousness' return would coincide with it.

Currently, three figures were levitating in the air in the sky above the sea outside of the Radiance Federation.

They were in a triangle formation as though they were facing off against each other.

There were three elderly men and four young figures silently seated in a fey carriage nearby.

A silver-haired young man was watching the three men face off with his brows knitted.

At the same time, he tried to communicate mentally with his contracted lifeform that he had lost his connection to.

1789 Emperor Core of All Insects' Blessing!

Na Na had removed her fusion with her higher devil.

The Goddess of Mercy flicked her gold and red fishtail.

An enormous red and gold wave crashed into Na Na.

Na Na took out a white bone dagger resembling an elephant's tusk and blocked the red and gold wave.

"Na Na, watch the tone you take with me! You aren't a goddess yet! If you're lucky, it will take you one or two years to take that step. But if you're unlucky, you might end up stuck for a decade. I need to teach you manners first.

"The Mirror God and God of Fools might let you do as you please, but that doesn't mean I will! Moreover, you, a member of the Freedom Federation's royalty, broke the rules. All the federations with Class 5 Creation Masters will hear about this in less than a month. When we return to the Freedom Mystic Temple, the others will demand an explanation from you as well.

"You also know that I'm interested in the dimensional gem you obtained from the marsh world. When you turned me down, I respected you by not taking it by force. But you tried to give it to the Radiance Federation as compensation. Are you trying to provoke me?"

The Goddess of Mercy turned to Li Yang and asked, "Li Yang, you're the leading member of royalty on this trip to the Radiance Federation. Did I do anything to harm the Freedom Federation after I arrived?"

Li Yang was at a loss for words.

Everything the Goddess of Mercy said was rational, but the methods did not align with her usual character.

However, there was a large gap in power between Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy. Moreover, most of his Creation Master resources came from the Goddess of Mercy.

Thus, although Li Yang knew that the Goddess of Mercy was trying to target Na Na and push all the blame onto her, he had no choice but to say, "Goddess of Mercy, you didn't do anything that harmed the Freedom Federation after you arrived. Na Na was the one who broke the rules of the battle,"

Na Na's beautiful face distorted as her expression soured. She was so enraged that she burst out with laughter.

Na Na always understood the principle of how the person with the most power was the one with the right to speak.

However, Na Na had never been treated in such a way.

All of them were members of the Freedom Federation's royalty. Although they all had their own ulterior motives and schemes running in the background, they were usually amicable with each other at the very least.

But now, the Goddess of Mercy had burned the bridge and used her power to quash Na Na.

Na Na said coldly, "I would never dare to provoke the Goddess of Mercy! When we return to the Freedom Mystic Temple, I will do everything I can to satisfy everyone."

Na Na walked over to Lu Ou and spatially transported the both of them back to the Freedom Mystic Temple.

When Li Yang saw that Na Na had left, he assumed that the matter had come to a temporary close.

But the Goddess of Mercy ended up aiming her cannon at him.

"Li Yang, my favored expert Qian Yu died during the battle against the Radiance Federation because of your moronic plan. Who was the one who assured me that nothing would go wrong during the fight? If you hadn't gotten ahead of yourself and tried to involve more disciples of royalty, this wouldn't have happened.

"It's likely that the person supporting Yan Ling, Cai Huo, You Changjian, and Han Qi is waiting for an explanation from you. You're close with Du Miao, so you must know Han Qi's importance to him. I heard that Du Miao and Han Qi's blood could be blended. Do you know about this?"

Li Yang now knew how Na Na had just felt.

He had no answers for the Goddess of Mercy's questions because he knew that he would have to face reprimands from many sides when he returned to the Freedom Federation.

He would have no choice but to spend a mountain of resources as compensation.

Li Yang cupped his hands together in front of the Goddess of Mercy and said, "Goddess of Mercy, I shall take my leave first! I will make sure to compensate everyone once I'm back. I'm sure that Du Miao will understand that Han Qi died during the fight because he just wasn't as capable as his opponent."

Li Yang controlled the fey carriage and transported the three elderly men and four members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence with him back to the Freedom Federation.

A smile finally spread across the Goddess of Mercy's face.

She happily flicked her tail and clapped.

She had driven Na Na and Li Yang away.

Now, she could return to the Radiance Federation to finish her plan. But before that, she would have to go and see the Moon Empress and that elderly man from the Radiance Federation.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Jie and Lin Yuan were walking along the streets on their way back to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

After the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended, everyone returned home to rest.

They promised to meet up at Lin Yuan's residence for a meal two days later.

Lin Yuan still remembered that when he checked on the Emperor Core of All Insects, its second ability Emperor's Revival involved the Insect Queen using a large amount of vitality to guide the Emperor Core of All Insects' genetic model and revive its genes. This would enable the empress form to arise.

Once the empress state was removed, the lifeform that fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects could receive a blessing from the empress. The strength of the blessing was dependent on how long the empress state had been sustained.

In order to support the Insect Queen, Lin Yuan had used Attack of the Forest Turned Deer and emptied all of the vitality stored within the Vitality Imprint.

It would be difficult to replicate such a large amount of vitality.

With such a large supply of vitality, the empress state had been maintained for more than a minute and a half. Hence, the Insect Queen should have received a significantly beneficial blessing.

Lin Yuan asked Liu Jie, "Big Brother Liu, how is the Insect Queen doing now? Will the Emperor Core of All Insects' blessing boost the Insect Queen's combat ability?"

At that moment, both Liu Jie and Lin Yuan were wearing masks.

After all, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had just ended, and both were the town's talk.

If they did not wear a mask, it was likely that they would be swarmed and cause congestion in the street.

Lin Yuan's words sounded slightly monotone behind the mask.

But when Liu Jie heard Lin Yuan's words, a strangely magical feeling filled him.

Lin Yuan would come to his rescue every time they were in danger.

He would always be able to trust Lin Yuan.

Once the Insect Queen removed its fusion with the Emperor Core of All Insects, it fell asleep.

But as the Insect Queen's contractor, Liu Jie could sense the changes that were taking place to the Insect Queen and was delighted.

The blessing from the Emperor Core of All Insects was just as beneficial to Liu Jie's power as when the Insect Queen obtained the Blade Queen Bee's venom and mutated.

1790 Liu Jie's Light!

The Emperor Core of All Insects' blessing mainly targeted the Insect Queen's procreative ability.

The Insect Queen depended on producing insect-species lifeforms to fight. The more insect-species lifeforms it produced, the stronger its combat ability would be.

The production of just one additional insect-species lifeform would allow the number of combinations of the insect tide to change exponentially.

Moreover, the transformation of the Insect Queen's procreative ability would not only allow the Insect Queen to produce more insects but also faster. It would be able to produce numerous insects in a short span of time.

The Insect Queen was still asleep. Hence, Liu Jie could not summon the Insect Queen to ask it to produce insects to demonstrate how much faster it could now produce insects.

But given Liu Jie's sensing, he estimated that the Insect Queen could not produce insects at least 1.5 times faster than before. This meant that in the time that would take the Insect Queen to produce two insect-species lifeforms in the past, it would now be able to produce three insect-species lifeforms.

This change would allow Liu Jie's insect tide to take shape faster. It would also enable Liu Jie to fight using another method besides only terrestrial formations.

However, these were not enough for Liu Jie to consider the blessing to be comparable to the benefits that came from the mutation enabled by the Blade Queen Bee's venom.

The mutation allowed the Insect Queen to use psychotoxin to take control of insect-species carcinoma feys as a form of special contraction.

The Insect Queen's most recent evolution allowed Liu Jie, who had fallen through the ranks of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, to regain a position high enough for him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest.

Liu Jie compared the Insect Queen's recent evolution to its previous mutation because the Cocoon of Evolution was hosted within the Insect Queen's procreative cavity.

The Cocoon of Evolution had absorbed most of the Emperor Core of All Insects' blessing. As a result, the Cocoon of Evolution had mutated, and the five genetic pieces within it had also improved.

The Cocoon of Evolution had even set aside a portion of the energy. Clearly, it was meant for the last insect-species fey or insect-species source-type lifeform that Liu Jie had not instructed the Insect Queen to absorb yet.

The Insect Queen had not gained its Diamond abilities yet.

It was not that Liu Jie was unwilling to evolve the Insect Queen. The stronger the Insect Queen was, the more types of insect-species fey genetic pieces it would be able to store.

The Diamond ability would be the strongest out of all the Insect Queen's abilities. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

At first, Liu Jie had intended on choosing an insect-species fey that was skilled at individual combat before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection began so that the Insect Queen would be able to gain its genetic piece that would become the Insect Queen's Diamond ability and strengthen Liu Jie's combat power.

However, while Liu Jie and Lin Yuan were discussing the matter, Lin Yuan objected to this idea because Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie had not yet enabled the Insect Queen to gain a Diamond ability because he had not found a suitable option yet.

The Insect Queen was the only fey that Liu Jie had. If he made any mistake when it came to the Insect Queen, he would be stuck with no escape.

Currently, the Insect Queen was already perfect.

Before Liu Jie decided what road of development he wanted to go down, it would be best for him to save the spot meant for the Diamond ability.

This battle made Liu Jie see where he was lacking.

He needed the insect tide to have the endurance to fight toe-to-toe against powerful opponents for an extended amount of time.

If his opponents had the ability to recover, the insect tide would be at a serious disadvantage.

With his one precious weapon, Han Qi would have Liu Jie fully suppressed.

Thus, when it came to the choice of the Insect Queen's Diamond ability, Liu Jie intended to choose an ability that had not only individual combat skills but also healing effects.

With this clear new direction, Liu Jie immediately had many outstanding options to choose from.

After the blessing evolved the Cocoon of Evolution, all five of the Insect Queen's abilities transformed.

If anyone else, even if it was Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and the rest who had become Liu Jie's friends, asked him such a question, he would not be willing to respond.

But since the question had come from Lin Yuan, Liu Jie was not about to hide anything from him.

"Lin Yuan, the Insect Queen's combat ability has at least doubled. The blessing targeted its procreative ability. The Cocoon of Evolution within its procreative cavity evolved as a result of the blessing. All of the Insect Queen's five abilities have also improved significantly. However, the Insect Queen is still asleep. I can't use practical testing to see exactly how much the Insect Queen's procreative ability has increased."

Elation immediately spread across Lin Yuan's face.

Lin Yuan regarded Liu Jie as no different from his brother.

It was natural that Lin Yuan would be happy that the Insect Queen had received such an outstanding blessing.

The Emperor Core of All Insects would only benefit each insect-species lifeform once. The Insect Queen would not receive such a blessing the next time it fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects.

Lin Yuan had been afraid that the one-time blessing would not be helpful.

The Insect Queen's battle strategy revolved around summoning insect tides.

If the blessing had targeted its body, it would be useless. The Insect Queen only produced insects in battle and would not go close to enemies. As such, it was not at any risk of having its body harmed.

Fairy source-type lifeforms' physical bodies were naturally weak.

Even if its body was evolved, it would not be as strong as the bodies of power offense-type feys.

Additionally, the Insect Queen was always hidden within the insect tide and could be protected by the layers of insects. The insect-species carcinoma feys would also protect it.

If the enemy broke through the ranks of insects protecting the Insect Queen, it would be killed regardless of how strong its body was.

"Congratulations, Big Brother Liu!"

When he saw the genuine smile lighting up Lin Yuan's face, Liu Jie felt as though a sun had just risen.

Every time he evolved, it was because of Lin Yuan's help. If not for Lin Yuan, Liu Jie did not think that he would ever be able to transform his power.

If Lin Yuan had not awakened while fighting the Disaster World Faceless Beast, the Freedom Federation would have ended up victorious.

Liu Jie would have lost all power and become a weakling because the Insect Queen would have completely lost its procreative ability and vitality.

Liu Jie would always see Lin Yuan as his savior. He was willing to give up his body as a shield or sword to protect this light.

1791 Transformation of the Insect Queen's Abilities!

Liu Jie and Lin Yuan had arrived in the suburbs. There was almost no one around them. They would arrive at the Return from Faraway Mansion if they walked forward for another short distance.

Lin Yuan said, "Big Brother Liu, why don't you summon the Insect Queen so I can take a look at it?"

Liu Jie summoned the sleeping Insect Queen.

The sleeping Insect Queen appeared extremely serene to Lin Yuan. It was even smiling with glee. It was as though it had sensed that it had evolved and was having a good dream.

Lin Yuan immediately used True Data to check on the Insect Queen.

[Fey Name: Insect Queen

[Fey Species: Insect-species/fairy-species

[Fey Grade: Diamond (10/10)

[Fey Type: Source/Spiritual

[Fey Quality: Fantasy V

Abilities:

[Execution Blade Insect: Eight hooked insect legs will grow out of the body. The sense of taste, smell, and mouth will be degraded. The insect legs have extremely strong sensing abilities. The hooked legs' sharp end has mouths connected to the inner organs. When the legs pierce a target, the mouths will emerge and break through anything hard within the target's body.

[Vibrating Armor Ladybug: Its back will open and have strong defense against attacks. Its back will also start to vibrate violently and reflect physical attacks. If targeted by elemental attacks, the vibrating back would be able to dodge a portion of the elemental damage.

[Flowing Plasma Electricity Insect: The insect will spit out large amounts of plasma that will start to flow. The flowing plasma will have strong paralyzing effects. It will cause long-lasting electric-related damage to the target.

[Electromagnetic Chrysalis: In a chrysalis state, it will be able to speed up the plasma accumulation rate. The plasma will be quickly released. In the moth state, it will be able to use plasma to manipulate electromagnetic fields and control targets from a distance away.

[Lonely Night Hurricane Moth: By flapping its wings, it can generate strong winds that it can manipulate to attack a target. Its wings will produce special scale powder that can perfectly blend with the night or camouflage in the day.

Exclusive Skill:

[Blast Recovery: The Insect Queen will select a portion of the insects it produced and explode them. The explosion timings can be adjusted based on the positions of the insects. After the blast, the Insect Queen will regain some of the protein and spiritual power.

[Swarm Frenzy: When the insect swarm is in a frenzied state, its speed will skyrocket. In the frenzied state, the insect swarm will be bloodthirsty and be able to replenish its vitality using the blood within the target.

Lin Yuan was astonished by what he saw and was speechless for some time.

Just as Liu Jie had said, the Insect Queen's abilities had all been improved.

After looking at the Insect Queen's data, Lin Yuan felt that 'improvement' was not the right term to describe what had happened to the Insect Queen because it was more like an update.

The Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect would only be able to cut into the target's flesh using six insect legs.

But now, the Execution Blade Insect would be a soldier suitable for the Insect Queen.

Since its sense of taste, smell, and mouth would be degraded, the Insect Queen would not need to produce so many organs. This would greatly save on protein.

Now, the Execution Blade Insect had eight legs. This would not only increase its combat power, but the hooked legs would also be able to effectively grip the target's body. When the legs moved, a part of the flesh would be ripped out with it. This would cause much more damage than it would have in the past when it only had six legs.

Moreover, the mouths hidden in the insect legs would be able to break the target's bones and cause even more damage to the target's internal organs.

As such, the Execution Blade Insect was much stronger than the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect when it came to individual combat power. It would not require the aid of the Insect Queen's other abilities.

Just based on the Execution Blade Insect, the power of the insect tide had increased tremendously.

The Shield Ladybug had become the Vibrating Armor Ladybug.

Although the name had changed slightly, its defense had been raised significantly. The vibrations' reflective effect would be able to not only defend against physical attacks but also elemental attacks.

Previously, the Shield Ladybug was very weak against the feys that used elemental attacks.

The Shield Ladybug's evolution raised the defensive ability of the entire insect tide.

Plasma Caterpillar had become the Flowing Plasma Electric Insect. Its ability had not changed, but the quantity of plasma produced had increased.

The Plasma Caterpillars used to spit out balls of plasma.

But the Flowing Plasma Electric Insect could spit out a stream of plasma.

Although it had not been tested, one of the Flowing Plasma Electric Insects should be the equivalent of five of the Plasma Caterpillars.

The Lightning Gathering Moths had become Electromagnetic Chrysalides.

The Lightning Gathering Moths used to work in conjunction with the Plasma Caterpillars. It gathered the plasma spat out by the Plasma Caterpillars to produce devastating electric damage.

It was one of the rare elemental attacks from the insect tide.

When the Electromagnetic Chrysalis was in its chrysalis state, it could rapidly gather plasma. The speed at which it shot out the plasma had also been raised.

When it was in its moth state, it would use up plasma to manipulate electromagnetism to control a target. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l) /m

Electromagnetism was considered a mutation of electric-type attacks.

A controlling ability like this that targeted a small group would have stronger effects than one that controlled a large group.

One of the Electromagnetic Chrysalides in its moth state might not be able to control electromagnetism significantly. But if the Insect Queen could produce many Electromagnetic Chrysalides to control the target, the electromagnetism controlling ability would be stacked.

The plasma produced by the transformed Flowing Plasma Electric Insects would be able to sustain the Electromagnetic Chrysalides to strengthen the already strong teamwork between the two types of insects.

As for the Hurricane Owlet Moth that became Lonely Night Hurricane Moth, its strength lay in its hiding abilities.

Coincidentally, Liu Jie liked to use the Hurricane Owlet Moths as scouts during battle to get a sense of the environment and establish his advantage as soon as possible.

Now, regardless of whether it was day or night, the Lonely Night Hurricane Moth could perform its scouting abilities even better. It would not have to worry at all about being discovered by the enemy.

1792 Liu Jie's Choice!

When other feys evolved, they would only be improved in one way. The improvement would only be slight.

Not even the improvements that occurred to Genius and Chimey after their bloodlines transformed were as significant as that of the Insect Queen.

The Insect Queen's evolution boosted its combat power and benefited it in attack, defense, support, control, and scouting.

At that moment, Lin Yuan finally understood why the Insect Queen took up all of its contractor's spiritual energy and prevented its contractor from ever contracting any other fey.

!

After every mutation and evolution, the Insect Queen would become even more ferocious.

At that moment, everything that Lin Yuan had been guessing and unsure of cleared up.

Although a fey's evolution seemed ideal, it would still be lacking in some way.

For example, after the Insect Queen evolved, the Execution Blade Insect could now cut through bone when the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect used to be unable to.

Liu Jie used the Hurricane Owlet Moths for scouting and not combat.

Thus, its ability to hide was improved when it transformed into the Lonely Night Hurricane Moth.

This made Lin Yuan aware that he could use special methods to guide a fey's ability in his desired direction.

Lin Yuan wanted to test if he could continuously guide a fey to the point that it developed the ability he wanted.

Lin Yuan looked up at Liu Jie and said, "Big Brother Liu, if the Insect Queen fought Qian Yu now, it would definitely be able to hold him back for twice as long as it had."

Although the Insect Queen had improved in all ways, it would still be difficult for it to roll grades to defeat a young Freedom Envoy like Qian Yu.

Nonetheless, it would already be very impressive for it to be able to hold him back for twice as long as it had.

Once the Insect Queen reached Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth II, it would be difficult for Qian Yu to defeat the Insect Queen without using the Diving Songstress.

After all, once the Insect Queen reached Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth II, it would be able to use up protein to produce feys of the same grade as itself.

Although Liu Jie was happy over his increase in power, he did not feel cocky or satisfied in the slightest because Lin Yuan was still unimaginably more powerful.

Liu Jie had always been doing his best to chase after Lin Yuan. He only hoped that he did not fall too far behind Lin Yuan because that would make him useless as Lin Yuan's sword or shield.

"Lin Yuan, you said that you're going to go off to train soon. Take me with you! Three of the insect-species carcinoma feys that the Insect Queen controlled died during the battle. I want to fill up the empty spots as well as combine the insect-species carcinoma feys that are very beneficial to the insect tide with the Firefly Demon Fetuses to turn them into fairies." DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

Liu Jie had only combined the Firefly Demon Fetus with the Blade Queen Bee so far to turn it into a four-winged fairy with intelligence that could comprehend Willpower Runes.

It was now able to advance to higher levels instead of being stuck as a Normal fey that would have been unable to evolve to Fantasy Breed.

Liu Jie had been thinking about which insect-species carcinoma feys he should combine with the Firefly Demon Fetuses.

He only had a few of the Firefly Demon Fetuses and had to be cautious with his use of them.

As the Insect Queen's spiritual energy increased, it would be able to control more insect-species carcinoma feys.

This gave Liu Jie two possible paths to go down.

The first path would involve Liu Jie fusing the most dangerous insect-species carcinoma feys with the Firefly Demon Fetuses to turn them into ultimate weapons.

The other path would be for Liu Jie to evolve the insect-species carcinoma feys that would greatly support the Insect Queen's combat system. This would turn Liu Jie into the weapon instead.

The Insect Queen's transformation led Liu Jie to choose the second path.

His power was the root of everything.

Moreover, Diamond/Legend insect-species carcinoma feys could already create catastrophic disasters.

In some special circumstances, such as when he was faced with the territory of water created by Long Tao and Qian Yu, Liu Jie managed to use the Diamond X/Legend Quiet Floating Hat Insect to turn the entire area of water into glue.

If the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's power evolved again, its fundamental abilities would not change much.

Now that Liu Jie had made his decision, he planned on going into seclusion for a few days.

Then, all he had to do was to wait for the insect-species carcinoma feys that transformed into fairies to evolve into Fantasy Breed.

In the time to come, all Liu Jie wanted was to perform his duty as a retainer.

He had found out about Lin Yuan's plans for the Startling Lines Continent in a previous conversation.

Although the Startling Lines Continent did not have a single Class 5 Creation Master, the Divine Wood, Iron Hammer, and Great Lush Federations had existed for centuries.

Although the three federations had been secretly attacking each other all this time, none of them had been able to take down the other. This meant that a dynamic had been formed between the three federations. Another way to put it would be an amazing balance.

When an outsider like Lin Yuan inserted himself into the scene, he would undoubtedly end up targeted by the three federations.

Liu Jie had accompanied Lin Yuan to train in the Divine Wood Federation before.

There had been dangers both within and outside the city.

Although Lin Yuan was powerful enough to handle this issue, Liu Jie still wanted to stay by Lin Yuan's side and contribute.

When Lin Yuan heard what Liu Jie said, he smiled and said, "Big Brother Liu, I was just about to tell you that we're going to head to the Divine Wood Federation in a few days. We will probably be there for a very long time before we return."

Previously, Lin Yuan had felt no rush for his plans regarding the Startling Lines Continent. But now that he knew that the things that could complete Morbius came from the dimensional worlds, Lin Yuan could not help but be anxious to explore the dimensional worlds.

Thus, he needed to speed up his plans and try his best to settle everything within the Startling Lines Continent in six months.

While Lin Yuan and Liu Jie were talking, they arrived at the Return from Faraway Mansion.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and battle had taken less than four days, meaning Lin Yuan had only been apart from the Return from Faraway Mansion for four days.

Yet, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie both felt completely different now from when they left home four days ago.

1793 The Legendary Obtuse Man?

When they left, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had been full of determination to take on any battle but had never felt such immense pressure and responsibility before.

When an entire federation's honor rested on the shoulders of a few people, it would force said people to grow up quickly.

Now that Lin Yuan was home, he finally relaxed and stretched.

Lin Yuan intended to organize his wide variety of spoils from the battle first.

He obtained three precious instruments from Han Qi, one of which was 5 Stars. There was also the body of Han Qi's devil and feys, as well as the numerous resources in his spatial equipment.

Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian's riches had been swallowed up by Lu Ou's devil when it consumed the three of them.

Lin Yuan had intended to split these resources with his four teammates.

However, he had been the one who swooped in at the last leg to secure their victory. Thus, Zong Ze, Gao Feng, Liu Yifan, and Liu Jie turned him down.

Lin Yuan felt that the three sacred source lifeforms that Lu Ou had not yet digested had great research value. They would also make great precious weapons.

But the person that contributed to most of Lin Yuan's spoils was undoubtedly Qian Yu.

Lin Yuan checked and saw that Qian Yu's spatial equipment contained much more resources than the other spatial equipment.

Moreover, the Diving Songstress itself represented unfathomable wealth.

Nurturing a sacred source lifeform to 8 Stars was no easy feat.

Lin Yuan was certain that the power that surged through his body after he fused with Dark Blue was the mermaid's power. This was the only explanation for why the power had been able to affect Qian Yu, who had fused with the Diving Songstress.

Although the power of the Diving Songstress' bloodline was inferior to the power of Dark Blue's bloodline when it was fused with Lin Yuan, the latter and the Diving Songstress' bloodline had the same source.

When the precious instrument was being made, a superior bloodline could be used to evolve the bloodline within the precious instrument.

This meant that when Di Wanmi used the Diving Songstress to create a precious instrument, Lin Yuan would be able to use his bloodline to evolve the mermaid bloodline within the precious instrument.

This would enable Lin Yuan to gain a precious weapon that was suitable for him.

The only precious instrument that Lin Yuan had was a precious spatial instrument that he used for storage.

If he could obtain an 8 Stars precious instrument that was suited to his bloodline, his power would undoubtedly skyrocket.

Nonetheless, nothing excited Lin Yuan more than the green crystal that Morbius wanted to absorb.

Before Lin Yuan even reached his room, Blood New Moon leaped out from his hair and changed into human form, and landed on the ground.

When Blood New Moon changed into human form, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, the Mother of Bloodbath, and a beautiful woman with a purple leather cloak draped over her walked out from the manor.

Heavenly Family Feys could perfectly recall their auras. This would allow them to pass by completely undetected.

However, Lin Yuan immediately knew who this beautiful woman was. He expected that this woman was actually the leader of the Heavenly Fey Cottage that Blood New Moon had mentioned, Purple Love.

All of them wanted to congratulate him, and Purple Love had gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yuan.

Heavenly Family Feys placed importance on kinship and promises.

Besides the possibility of Lin Yuan being able to revive Jade Sundial, the fact that he had saved the Mother of Bloodbath numerous times was enough to make Purple Love regard him as a savior.

Before Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, and the Mother of Bloodbath could congratulate him and Purple Love to thank him, Lin Yuan walked over to them with a serious expression and said, "You must be Senior Purple Love! I heard from Uncle Blood that you went to the Radiance Federation's lava zone and collected most of Auntie Jade Sundial's soul fragments. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin.c/om

"Now that you're here, why don't you let out the soul fragments so I can try to revive Auntie Jade Sundial's soul? If there are enough soul fragments, you should be able to commence simple communication with Auntie Jade Sundial's soul."

Blood New Moon, Purple Love, Blue Lotus, and White Phoenix had been extremely grateful to Lin Yuan.

His actions told them that he truly regarded this matter as an important task.

Although he should clearly be basking in cheers and praise, the first thing that came to his mind when he saw them was reviving Jade Sundial's soul.

This caused the gratitude that they felt to multiply.

The Mother of Bloodbath could no longer hold back as it walked up to Lin Yuan and hugged him tightly as it whispered into his ear, "Lin Yuan, thank you!"

Lin Yuan regarded it as the Mother of Bloodbath being overwhelmed by the possibility of being able to communicate with its mother's soul.

He replied, "Why are you being so polite? You're my Path Protector, after all."

Lin Yuan summoned Rememberling.

The Mother of Bloodbath released Lin Yuan and stood next to him. It looked at him with gentleness and slight shyness.

Although it was Lin Yuan's Path Protector, Lin Yuan had saved it many more times than it had saved him.

Purple Love was unaware of how the Mother of Bloodbath felt about Lin Yuan, but Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, and Blood New Moon could tell.

Three of them had been stunned by what Lin Yuan said because the Mother of Bloodbath's hug clearly seemed more than just courtesy.

Could this be the legendary obtuse man? An obtuse man was handsome but might also end up spending their entire life alone.

Rememberling affectionately circled Lin Yuan.

Blood New Moon had already witnessed how remarkable Rememberling was, but this was the first time that White Phoenix, Blue Lotus, and Purple Love were encountering a fey from legend.

The three of them could not see what Rememberling looked like but could sense that there was a lifeform close to Lin Yuan that was acting lovingly toward him.

Purple Love took a deep breath and took out that tangerine and red handkerchief that looked as though it was a piece of a sunset.

Once she took out the handkerchief, despite how much she looked forward to being able to converse with Jade Sundial's soul like how they used to, the Purple Love that had barged into Tower Canon's headquarters to kill First Page Fate now felt frightened.

Although Lin Yuan had just given all of them a sense of assurance, Purple Love was still afraid of the possible result that Jade Sundial's soul could not be revived.

1794 Lin Yuan was Comprehending Again!

Even the bravest and most strong-willed people would crumble in the face of the uncertainty of their loved ones being able to revive.

The more you cared about someone, the more clouded your mind would be when it came to matters that involved them.

If Purple Love was unsure if Jade Sundial could be revived, she could begin to slowly heal her scars and turn her grief into longing. She would occasionally gaze at the handkerchief that contained fragments of Jade Sundial's soul and think about Jade Sundial.

However, fear now coexisted with the hope in Purple Love's heart.

She was afraid that her hopes would be dashed and she would lose Jade Sundial again, her sister who had been by her side for over a millennium.

Purple Love did not know if she would be able to handle having her heart broken again.

It might be better to avoid the possibility of pain altogether.

The most unacceptable thing to Purple Love would be if the failure to revive Jade Sundial's soul caused the fragments of Jade Sundial's soul to dissipate. That would mean that she had truly lost her final link to Jade Sundial.

Lin Yuan could tell that Purple Love was in turmoil.

He was in no rush to take the tangerine and red handkerchief from Purple Love.

Lin Yuan found out from the Moon Empress that Jade Sundial used to be the second member of the Heavenly Family Cottage and had a deep relationship with Purple Love.

Reviving Jade Sundial involved not only the Mother of Bloodbath and Blood New Moon but also Purple Love and all the other members of the Heavenly Fey Cottage.

After the fight against the Freedom Federation, Lin Yuan's mindset had changed. It also matured him.

Although the Moon Empress had never mentioned it to him, Lin Yuan knew that he could regard the Mother of Bloodbath and Blood New Moon as family.

However, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, and Purple Love represented the Heavenly Family Cottage.

In a way, Lin Yuan represented the Radiance Federation.

Blood New Moon and the Mother of Bloodbath had witnessed how Rememberling collected soul fragments.

Both of them had also sensed the fragments of Jade Sundial's soul that Rememberling had collected from the lava zone.

Thus, both of them felt rather relaxed.

The Mother of Bloodbath had been with Lin Yuan for a very long time and understood what kind of person he was.

Lin Yuan would never agree to something that he had no confidence he could achieve.

Blood New Moon said, "Sister Purple Love, I have seen Lin Yuan's ability for myself. He managed to collect all of Jade Sundial's soul fragments from the lava zone, and he will be able to do the same with the handkerchief. Although it wasn't successful because of some circumstances, the soul fragments had not disappeared."

Purple Love took a deep breath when he heard what Blood New Moon said.

She took a step forward and handed the tangerine handkerchief to Lin Yuan with both hands as she said, "Thank you so much! Even if this fails, the fact that you saved Blood Love is enough to make you the debtor of the entire Heavenly Family Cottage,"

Lin Yuan did not immediately reply.

After he received the handkerchief, Lin Yuan did not rush to instruct Rememberling to use Soul Knot. Instead, he instructed it to release Jade Sundial's soul fragments that it had collected.

He said solemnly, "I won't be careless with Auntie Jade Sundial's soul. Frankly, I don't just need more of Auntie Jade Sundial's soul to revive it but also to make sure her soul retains as many memories as possible after the revival. If not for this reason, I would only need to nurture her soul fragments to complete it."

Lin Yuan has essentially revealed his secret weapon to Purple Love.

His words stunned everyone present, including the Mother of Bloodbath and Blood New Moon.

Lin Yuan had mentioned Rememberling's abilities to Blood New Moon and the Mother of Bloodbath.

However, they did not expect its abilities to be so extraordinary that it would be able to nurture soul fragments to revive a soul.

Jade Sundial had been dead for many years.

If Lin Yuan could still find fragments of her soul now, he would essentially be able to bring the dead back to life.

Not even experts who were walking the heaven's path had such abilities!

Lin Yuan had revealed his secret weapon because he wanted to reassure Purple Love, Blue Lotus, and White Phoenix and because it was all but certain that Tower Canon and the Freedom Federation had colluded.

Heavenly Family Cottage had always maintained a neutral stance, and Lin Yuan wanted to help the Radiance Federation secure such a powerful ally.

Additionally, everyone present was worthy of his trust.

After Lin Yuan said what he said, delight spread across the faces of Purple Love and the rest after momentary shock.

Lin Yuan had already all but guaranteed that Jade Sundial's soul could be revived, but he was now giving them another surprise.

If what Lin Yuan said was true and the soul fragments could be absorbed to retrieve Jade Sundial's past memories, they would truly be able to communicate with her.

Now that Purple Love and the rest appeared more at ease, Lin Yuan did not say anything else.

Instead, he tossed the handkerchief to Rememberling so it would be able to use Soul Knot on it.

When Rememberling used Soul Knot, it would absorb the soul into its body.

When Jade Sundial died in the lava zone, Purple Love had rushed to the Radiance Federation to save Blood New Moon and collect the remnants of Jade Sundial's soul.

Given the strength of the soul, Lin Yuan was sure that Jade Sundial had reached Eternal and had been one step away from breaking through past that level.

When a fey reached Eternal, their soul would gain a unique color.

Many colored soul fragments entered Rememberling's body.

Although Purple Love, Blood New Moon, and the rest still could not see Rememberling, they could see Jade Sundial's soul swirling around inside an unknown lifeform's body.

Lin Yuan noticed that the swirling soul fragments were interlocking intricately and joining together.

The way that a soul was formed was one of life's greatest secrets, and people usually did not get the chance to discover it.

If Jade Sundial's soul had not reached Eternal, they would not be able to see the soul being put back together.

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt deep awe for life.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan entered a state of comprehension.

A Willpower Rune that resembled a soul being continuously shattered and put back together appeared in Lin Yuan's spiritual spatial zone.

Purple Love, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, and Blood New Moon did not find it strange that Lin Yuan had abruptly entered a state of comprehension.

Although the four of them had reached such a high level, they were also amazed as they watched the soul being reformed.

It was normal that Lin Yuan had managed to produce a Willpower Rune from this comprehension.

Lin Yuan was one of the Radiance Federation's best prodigies and the Moon Empress' disciple. As such, his comprehension ability had to be impressive. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

On the other hand, the Mother of Bloodbath felt that nothing about this was normal.

1795 Long Time No See!

The Mother of Bloodbath had always been by Lin Yuan's side as his Path Protector. It had watched him comprehend Willpower Runes numerous times.

It felt that it was easier for Lin Yuan to comprehend Willpower Runes than it was for others to drink water.

At that moment, a cry filled the air.

At the same moment that the cry filled the air, vast soul energy exploded out.

!

If Purple Love had not used her aura to put a barrier over this space, the soul energy would have caused ripples to spread out across the Royal Capital.

When feys reached Eternal, they would make it a habit to restrain their aura.

But Jade Sundial was clearly unable to pull the reins back on the aura of its soul.

Lin Yuan could tell from the cry that was released that it had come from Jade Sundial's soul.

There was no mistaking that the cry had come from a spider-species fey. Yet, it was also completely different from a regular spider-species fey.

There was no malevolence or ferocity within the cry. Rather, it had a hint of gentleness. It was like the sun that was looking out over all creatures of the earth.

When Blood New Moon, Purple Love, and Blue Lotus heard the cry that came from the soul, a bright smile stretched across their faces.

Blood New Moon's one gold and one red eye, Purple Love's dark purple fox eyes, and Dark Blue's eyes that were as blue as the sea, all welled up with tears.

Even the unempathetic White Phoenix's eyes filled up with water, and his lips started to tremble.

When Heavenly Family Feys with Eternal power that had complete souls and reached their prime, their souls would produce sound when exposed.

That spider cry had been Jade Sundial's voice. Vissit novelbin.c.𝒐m for updates

At that moment, Rememberling released the soul that it had generated through the horn on its forehead.

A woman who greatly resembled the Mother of Bloodbath but had a completely different style to it appeared next to Lin Yuan in soul form.

The Mother of Bloodbath's eyes and expression were cold, but when this woman smiled, she would probably be able to heal wounds. It was so gentle that it would overwhelm anyone who looked at her to the point that tears would start to slide down their cheeks.

The woman's eyes were fixed on the Mother of Bloodbath, and she had her arms outstretched toward it.

Before the woman could take a step forward, the Mother of Bloodbath strode forward and embraced the woman.

For as long as the Mother of Bloodbath could remember, it had been alone and struggling to survive in the forest. It had indeed gone through a phase of resenting the parents that had abandoned it. The feelings of hatred intensified when it was fighting daily on an empty stomach or when it saw other fey families.

But slowly, the feelings of loathing disappeared because the Mother of Bloodbath did not even know who it was hating.

The Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer had developed such a deep friendship because the Mother of Bloodbath highly prioritized kinship.

But once the Mother of Bloodbath found out about its background and met Blood New Moon, all of its confusion cleared up.

It looked forward every single day to its mother's revival.

The Mother of Bloodbath's bloodline and nature allowed it to sense an inexplicable warmth from this woman that it had never experienced before.

Blood New Moon walked up to the hugging figures and wrapped his arms around them.

The family of three that had been separated from each other for so long only released each other after some time.

Jade Sundial bowed deeply to Lin Yuan and said with gratitude, "Thank you for giving me the chance to see my daughter, husband, and friends."

Jade Sundial turned toward Purple Love and walked toward her as she said, "Big Sister, long time no see!"

The Return from Faraway Mansion was full of warmth.

Chu Ci had also wanted to go out to greet Lin Yuan but had been stopped by Wen Yu.

Chu Ci was smart and quickly realized why Wen Yu had stopped her.

But now that the matter had been settled, Chu Ci rushed up to Lin Yuan and embraced him like how the Mother of Bloodbath had just embraced Jade Sundial.

Chu Ci did not say anything and continued to silently hug Lin Yuan.

She had been worried about him through the entire battle, both during Capture the General against Han Qi and the five-man team fight.

The Star Web audience saw one of the Radiance Federation's elites putting his life on the line to protect the Radiance Federation's honor. But to Chu Ci, it was her brother engaged in a fight to the death.

She did not have many memories of their parents and had grown up with only him by her side.

With a brother like him who was always there to protect her, Chu Ci never had to feel envious of her classmates who had parents.

You have parents, but I have my brother! I receive just as much love and care as you do.

Lin Yuan was Chu Ci's everything.

Although she had become Cold Moon's disciple, Lin Yuan's position in her heart was unchanged.

Thus, when she saw Lin Yuan fighting with the possibility of death, Chu Ci instinctively felt worried.

Nonetheless, there had been nothing that she could do.

There had been no other moment in her life that she yearned to increase her power more than then.

Luckily, Lin Yuan was fine.

Chu Ci's worries were only laid to rest when she hugged Lin Yuan.

Wen Yu stood at the entrance of the manor and grinned as she watched the hugging siblings.

A long time had passed, and it was time for the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting to begin.

After the Radiance Hundred Sky City selection, Lin Yuan finally had the time to focus on developing Sky City.

…

The Radiance Sacred Hall had been sealed, and it was normally not available for public visitation.

Only members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Radiance Envoys, Radiance Knights, and members of royalty could access the Radiance Sacred Hall as they pleased.

Given that the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had just ended, the Radiance Hundred Sequence members had left the Radiance Sacred Hall, and it should be completely empty.

However, the Moon Empress and an elderly man seated in a wheelchair were still in the Radiance Sacred Hall. They seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

At that moment, the air beside the Moon Empress and the elderly man started to ripple.

Gold and red water ripples expanded across the spatial fluctuation.

A woman with a gold and red fishtail and dressed in a thin shawl appeared in front of the Moon Empress and elderly man.

The Moon Empress looked at the Goddess of Mercy but did not say anything.

The Goddess of Mercy had no intention of putting on airs in front of the Moon Empress because she had undermined Na Na with the purpose of gaining favor with the Radiance Federation.

The Moon Empress and the elderly man were waiting here because the Goddess of Mercy had used her birth horoscope to send a message to the Moon Empress and the elderly man.

Only a person walking down heaven's path would be able to do this, and it was the most secretive method of communication.

The Goddess of Mercy's expression became serious as she looked at the Moon Empress and the elderly man.

1796 The Goddess of Mercy's Suggestion!

Even a moment after the Goddess of Mercy appeared, the elderly man was still silent.

The Goddess of Mercy was quickly weighing her options to decide the attitude to take when she communicated with the Moon Empress or, rather, the Radiance Federation.

The Goddess of Mercy was still a member of the Freedom Federation's royalty. Given this status, she should not be communicating with the enemy in the Radiance Sacred Hall.

However, the Goddess of Mercy had no choice.

Now that Qian Yu was dead, Lin Yuan was her only hope.

If Lin Yuan had not displayed that mermaid bloodline that was even stronger than Qian Yu's, Lu Ou would not have needed to summon Na Na as the Goddess Mercy would have stepped in to save Qian Yu.

She would do this because she had the reason for needing to increase her power.

This was also the reason she had come to this place.

Any federation's member of royalty who possessed decent power would be aware that she had managed to walk down heaven's path by making use of the mermaid bloodline.

However, it had always been her greatest secret that she needed to obtain the affection of the mermaid emperor clan in order to increase her power.

Only Second Page Revival, the Mirror God, and the God of Fools were aware of this secret.

There was no way that the Goddess of Mercy would allow the Radiance Federation to find out about this.

After all, Lin Yuan was from the Radiance Federation. If they found out about her secret and one of their members of royalty used him to advance their power first, the Goddess of Mercy would lose all hope.

In the past, the Goddess of Mercy had searched far and wide for a lifeform that possessed the mermaid bloodline.

After searching for half a year, during which one of the potential targets died, she finally found Qian Yu.

Hence, the Goddess of Mercy might even be more worried for Lin Yuan's safety than the Radiance Federation was.

The Goddess of Mercy always regarded the Moon Empress as absolute scum.

Regardless of what the reason was, the member of royalty she had invested a mountain of resources into and was about to awaken the mermaid emperor bloodline had been killed by the Moon Empress while on a mission to the Radiance Federation.

If the Goddess of Mercy had not come to the Radiance Sacred Hall with the intention of protecting Qian Yu, she would have attacked the Moon Empress and fought her to the death.

But at that moment, the Goddess of Mercy felt no resentment toward the Moon Empress. Rather—she could not hate her now because she was Lin Yuan's master.

She would need to go through the Moon Empress first before she would be able to gain Lin Yuan's affection.

During the confrontation between Na Na and the Moon Empress, the latter had stood in front of Lin Yuan.

From the way that Lin Yuan looked at the Moon Empress, the Goddess of Mercy could tell how close Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress were.

While the gears in the Goddess of Mercy's head were turning, the Moon Empress' brow was deeply furrowed.

The elderly man reached out and touched the armrest of his wheelchair as he said, "Goddess of Mercy, you made the effort of using your birth horoscope to arrange a meeting with us and returned to the Radiance Federation just to stare at us? I'm very old. If that's the case, I won't continue to waste time being here."

The Goddess of Mercy pursed her lips.

The Goddess of Mercy had three possible options in her mind. All of them would take away from her profits.

There was nothing that the Goddess of Mercy hated more than her profits being harmed. Hence, she decided to bring up the plan that would provide her with the most profits first.

"Moon Empress, the young man known as Black or Lin Yuan is your disciple, right?"

The Moon Empress frowned when she heard what the Goddess of Mercy said because she still remembered how the Goddess of Mercy had publicly asked Lin Yuan to be her favored expert and tried to take him back to the Freedom Federation.

At that time, the Moon Empress had been so enraged that she almost attacked the Goddess of Mercy.

Lin Yuan was the most important person to the Moon Empress, and she would not allow anyone to poach him.

This was not a matter of pride but the Moon Empress' instinctive reaction.

But when the Moon Empress heard what the Goddess of Mercy said, she did not feel any uncontrollable anger this time.

The Goddess of Mercy's saying such a thing publicly could have been understood as her becoming interested in Lin Yuan's talent and being overwhelmed by excitement.

However, the Moon Empress could not understand why the Goddess of Mercy was saying such a thing now.

The Moon Empress knew that the Goddess of Mercy had become interested in Lin Yuan for some reason.

From the way she went out of her way to arrange to meet with the Moon Empress to discuss this matter, it meant that she was determined to obtain Lin Yuan.

This caused the Moon Empress' urge to kill to spike.

The Moon Empress glanced a look at the elderly man, and he immediately understood the look in her eyes.

The Moon Empress wanted him to attack and kill the Goddess of Mercy together with her.

Although a fight between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation was inevitable, attacking the Goddess of Mercy would bring forward the timeline of the battle between the two federations, regardless of whether they were able to seriously injure or kill the Goddess of Mercy.

Currently, the mirror cities of the Radiance Federation were still being built. They needed at least a year to finish construction.

Thus, the Radiance Federation had to make good use of the two years before the Major Federation Meeting.

It would not be easy to kill the Goddess of Mercy.

The Moon Empress' desire to attack the Goddess of Mercy was backed up by the fact that the Rabbit Emperor's power had also evolved.

However, no one knew if the Goddess of Mercy had accumulated any secret weapons after triggering her birth horoscope long ago.

If they started fighting in the Radiance Sacred Hall, they would put the lives of the people that lived in the Royal Capital at risk.

However, the elderly man knew that the Moon Empress' heart was set.

At this moment, the Goddess of Mercy went on to say, "Moon Empress, I am willing to trade all the resources from the Freedom Federation desired by the Radiance Federation in exchange for Lin Yuan."

The Moon Empress and elderly man were stunned.

Although the Moon Empress still wanted to kill the Goddess of Mercy, she still started examining the Goddess of Mercy in a new light.

The Goddess of Mercy had essentially betrayed the Freedom Federation.

Neither the Moon Empress nor the elderly man would have expected such an outcome.

Both of them were suspicious of why the Goddess of Mercy wanted Lin Yuan so badly, to the point that she was willing to make such a decision.

The Goddess of Mercy had said what she said while scrutinizing the Moon Empress' face to observe if any changes took place.

The Goddess of Mercy felt that her offer should have been enough to be accepted because it would bring unimaginable profits to the Radiance Federation.

This would give the Radiance Federation the advantage over the Freedom Federation in the upcoming fight.

However, the Moon Empress' expression told the Goddess of Mercy that her offer was about to be turned down. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏.com

Although the Moon Empress was interested in the Goddess of Mercy's offer, her determined expression proved that she had zero intention of giving up her disciple.

Now that the Goddess of Mercy knew what answer was coming, she did not give the Moon Empress the chance to voice it and went on to make her second offer known.

1797 Sacred Source Lifeform Tanabata River of Desire!

The Goddess of Mercy was silent for a moment before she said, "I can leave Lin Yuan in the Radiance Federation, but I want to be able to meet with him whenever I want. Moreover, I'm already a Class 5 Creation Master. I should be able to reach the Moon Empress' level soon. I can provide the Radiance Federation with a package of resources every month that will probably take up seven days of my time to produce."

The Goddess of Mercy stopped talking and observed the Moon Empress' expression again.

The Moon Empress' eyes narrowed.

She knew that she had to make things clear with the Goddess of Mercy today because it was clear that her jaws had clamped down on Lin Yuan.

!

The Moon Empress felt that it was ludicrous that the Goddess of Mercy was willing to offer so many resources just for the chance to meet with Lin Yuan whenever she wanted.

According to the Goddess of Mercy, she was also willing to work for the Radiance Federation for a week every month.

This meant that in a year, the Goddess of Mercy would be working for the Radiance Federation for three months. This would give the Radiance Federation another one-quarter of a Class 5 Creation Master.

There was also the possibility that the Goddess of Mercy could become a Class 6 Creation Master.

The Moon Empress had already become a Class 6 Creation Master and knew how large the gap between a Class 5 Creation Master and Class 6 Creation Master was.

Class 6 Creation Masters could not only purify the Eternal Heart but could also produce four times the amount of resources that Class 5 Creation Masters could.

Doing the calculations, once the Goddess of Mercy became a Class 6 Creation Master, she would be providing the Radiance Federation with an additional Class 5 Creation Master.

This would greatly raise the Radiance Federation's top combat power.

The Moon Empress wanted to attack the Goddess of Mercy because of how much she cared about Lin Yuan. Since she was his master, she did not want him to be in any danger or suffer any inconvenience.

But now, the Goddess of Mercy had no intention of harming Lin Yuan. Moreover, if Lin Yuan remained in the Radiance Federation under the Moon Empress' watch, she would be able to ensure that no harm came to him.

Moreover, the Heavenly Family Cottage's members were also living in Lin Yuan's mansion.

The Moon Empress had placed the Mother of Bloodbath as Lin Yuan's Path Protector because she knew of the Mother of Bloodbath's background.

She wanted to create the chance for Lin Yuan to form a link with Heavenly Family Cottage.

Lin Yuan had not only seized the chance but had even managed to use his sincerity to obtain the Heavenly Family Cottage's friendship.

No matter how strong the Goddess of Mercy was, there was no way she would be able to publicly take Lin Yuan away or cause him any harm while the Heavenly Family Cottage's members were present.

The Moon Empress needed to ascertain the reason the Goddess of Mercy was willing to offer such a large price just to be able to communicate with Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress' sharp eyes studied the Goddess of Mercy to see if she felt any anxiousness.

The Goddess of Mercy slightly regretted asking to meet with the Moon Empress and the elderly man in advance to discuss the trade with them.

She should have snuck in under their noses to secretly meet with Lin Yuan.

If the Moon Empress turned her down and hid Lin Yuan in the Radiant Moon Palace, any chance the Goddess of Mercy had of meeting with him would be gone.

Just as the Goddess of Mercy was about to bring up her third offer, the Moon Empress said, "I can take you to see my disciple. But I need to know why you want to see him! Otherwise, not only will you be unable to meet him, but I will also make sure you never leave the Radiance Federation."

While she spoke, a glimmer appeared next to the Moon Empress.

The glimmer turned purple, and a small white rabbit holding a carrot appeared in the Moon Empress' arms.

The small rabbit's eyes glinted purple and instantly solidified the air within the Radiance Sacred Hall.

The Goddess of Mercy sensed that the air around her had solidified and looked at the rabbit with austerity as she said, "I didn't expect the Rabbit Emperor to have reached such a level! It has ignited its birth horoscope."

The Goddess of Mercy shifted her gaze to the Moon Empress and said, "Don't think that you'll be able to keep me here just because the Rabbit Emperor has reached the same level as the Mirror God and God of Fools.

"If I want to leave, no one will be able to stop me once I summon the Tanabata River of Desire. I am sincerely here to negotiate with you. I think my actions and promises have proved my sincerity.

"If I had not said what I said when you were facing off against Na Na, she wouldn't have left so easily. As for why I want to meet with your disciple, I would prefer to keep my reason to myself. But if you bring your disciple to meet me, you'll be able to hear everything that I say."

The Moon Empress was momentarily at a loss for words because she noticed that the Goddess of Mercy was lacking her usual arrogance.

Rather, her expression was sincere and gentle.

However, the Moon Empress knew the Goddess of Mercy well. The Goddess of Mercy was extremely selfish. In fact, all the Freedom Federation's members of royalty were the same.

However, the others from the Freedom Federation would not sacrifice the profits of the entire Freedom Federation for their individual profit.

It was rumored that there was conflict between the Goddess of Mercy and the God of Fools and Mirror God. Apparently, their conflict almost caused the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift in the Freedom Federation to close.

The Moon Empress had never put stock in this rumor.

However, it now seemed that the rumor was true.

Otherwise, the Goddess of Mercy would not be here, doing something that went against the Freedom Federation's profits.

This meant that the Goddess of Mercy felt almost no sense of belonging to the Freedom Federation. Lin Yuan was even more important to her than the Freedom Federation was.

If the Moon Empress brought the Goddess of Mercy to see Lin Yuan, she would be able to watch everything that the Goddess of Mercy did.

At that time, she would be able to use her actions to guess what the Goddess of Mercy's motive was.

The Moon Empress had silently agreed to the Goddess of Mercy's offer, but she did not voice it immediately.

The Moon Empress shot a look at the elderly man next to her.

She noticed that from the moment the Goddess of Mercy appeared, she started to make increasingly better offers for the sake of being able to gain access to Lin Yuan. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏.com

The Moon Empress wanted to use this chance to test what the Goddess of Mercy's limit was. This information would be vital for the Radiance Federation's strategic plans.

They would be able to use her limit to gauge her sense of belonging to the Freedom Federation.

Since a future fight between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation was inevitable, even if the Goddess of Mercy could not publicly appear to help the Radiance Federation, it would also be very beneficial in a strategic sense if she could continuously supply information about the Freedom Federation.

The Goddess of Mercy was silent for a moment before she said, "I can leave Lin Yuan in the Radiance Federation, but I want to be able to meet with him whenever I want. Moreover, I'm already a Class 5 Creation Master. I should be able to reach the Moon Empress' level soon. I can provide the Radiance Federation with a package of resources every month that will probably take up seven days of my time to produce."

The Goddess of Mercy stopped talking and observed the Moon Empress' expression again.

The Moon Empress' eyes narrowed.

She knew that she had to make things clear with the Goddess of Mercy today because it was clear that her jaws had clamped down on Lin Yuan.

!

The Moon Empress felt that it was ludicrous that the Goddess of Mercy was willing to offer so many resources just for the chance to meet with Lin Yuan whenever she wanted.

According to the Goddess of Mercy, she was also willing to work for the Radiance Federation for a week every month.

This meant that in a year, the Goddess of Mercy would be working for the Radiance Federation for three months. This would give the Radiance Federation another one-quarter of a Class 5 Creation Master.

There was also the possibility that the Goddess of Mercy could become a Class 6 Creation Master.

The Moon Empress had already become a Class 6 Creation Master and knew how large the gap between a Class 5 Creation Master and Class 6 Creation Master was.

Class 6 Creation Masters could not only purify the Eternal Heart but could also produce four times the amount of resources that Class 5 Creation Masters could.

Doing the calculations, once the Goddess of Mercy became a Class 6 Creation Master, she would be providing the Radiance Federation with an additional Class 5 Creation Master.

This would greatly raise the Radiance Federation's top combat power.

The Moon Empress wanted to attack the Goddess of Mercy because of how much she cared about Lin Yuan. Since she was his master, she did not want him to be in any danger or suffer any inconvenience.

But now, the Goddess of Mercy had no intention of harming Lin Yuan. Moreover, if Lin Yuan remained in the Radiance Federation under the Moon Empress' watch, she would be able to ensure that no harm came to him.

Moreover, the Heavenly Family Cottage's members were also living in Lin Yuan's mansion.

The Moon Empress had placed the Mother of Bloodbath as Lin Yuan's Path Protector because she knew of the Mother of Bloodbath's background.

She wanted to create the chance for Lin Yuan to form a link with Heavenly Family Cottage.

Lin Yuan had not only seized the chance but had even managed to use his sincerity to obtain the Heavenly Family Cottage's friendship.

No matter how strong the Goddess of Mercy was, there was no way she would be able to publicly take Lin Yuan away or cause him any harm while the Heavenly Family Cottage's members were present.

The Moon Empress needed to ascertain the reason the Goddess of Mercy was willing to offer such a large price just to be able to communicate with Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress' sharp eyes studied the Goddess of Mercy to see if she felt any anxiousness.

The Goddess of Mercy slightly regretted asking to meet with the Moon Empress and the elderly man in advance to discuss the trade with them.

She should have snuck in under their noses to secretly meet with Lin Yuan.

If the Moon Empress turned her down and hid Lin Yuan in the Radiant Moon Palace, any chance the Goddess of Mercy had of meeting with him would be gone.

Just as the Goddess of Mercy was about to bring up her third offer, the Moon Empress said, "I can take you to see my disciple. But I need to know why you want to see him! Otherwise, not only will you be unable to meet him, but I will also make sure you never leave the Radiance Federation."

While she spoke, a glimmer appeared next to the Moon Empress.

The glimmer turned purple, and a small white rabbit holding a carrot appeared in the Moon Empress' arms.

The small rabbit's eyes glinted purple and instantly solidified the air within the Radiance Sacred Hall.

The Goddess of Mercy sensed that the air around her had solidified and looked at the rabbit with austerity as she said, "I didn't expect the Rabbit Emperor to have reached such a level! It has ignited its birth horoscope."

The Goddess of Mercy shifted her gaze to the Moon Empress and said, "Don't think that you'll be able to keep me here just because the Rabbit Emperor has reached the same level as the Mirror God and God of Fools.

"If I want to leave, no one will be able to stop me once I summon the Tanabata River of Desire. I am sincerely here to negotiate with you. I think my actions and promises have proved my sincerity.

"If I had not said what I said when you were facing off against Na Na, she wouldn't have left so easily. As for why I want to meet with your disciple, I would prefer to keep my reason to myself. But if you bring your disciple to meet me, you'll be able to hear everything that I say."

The Moon Empress was momentarily at a loss for words because she noticed that the Goddess of Mercy was lacking her usual arrogance.

Rather, her expression was sincere and gentle.

However, the Moon Empress knew the Goddess of Mercy well. The Goddess of Mercy was extremely selfish. In fact, all the Freedom Federation's members of royalty were the same.

However, the others from the Freedom Federation would not sacrifice the profits of the entire Freedom Federation for their individual profit.

It was rumored that there was conflict between the Goddess of Mercy and the God of Fools and Mirror God. Apparently, their conflict almost caused the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift in the Freedom Federation to close.

The Moon Empress had never put stock in this rumor.

However, it now seemed that the rumor was true.

Otherwise, the Goddess of Mercy would not be here, doing something that went against the Freedom Federation's profits.

This meant that the Goddess of Mercy felt almost no sense of belonging to the Freedom Federation. Lin Yuan was even more important to her than the Freedom Federation was.

If the Moon Empress brought the Goddess of Mercy to see Lin Yuan, she would be able to watch everything that the Goddess of Mercy did.

At that time, she would be able to use her actions to guess what the Goddess of Mercy's motive was.

The Moon Empress had silently agreed to the Goddess of Mercy's offer, but she did not voice it immediately.

The Moon Empress shot a look at the elderly man next to her.

She noticed that from the moment the Goddess of Mercy appeared, she started to make increasingly better offers for the sake of being able to gain access to Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress wanted to use this chance to test what the Goddess of Mercy's limit was. This information would be vital for the Radiance Federation's strategic plans.

They would be able to use her limit to gauge her sense of belonging to the Freedom Federation.

Since a future fight between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation was inevitable, even if the Goddess of Mercy could not publicly appear to help the Radiance Federation, it would also be very beneficial in a strategic sense if she could continuously supply information about the Freedom Federation.

1799 Vast Sea Labyrinth!

Lin Yuan had said what he said after careful consideration.

Although this was slightly unethical as it made it seem as though he was trying to take advantage of the favor the Heavenly Family Cottage owed him to push them into an alliance.

However, the Radiance Federation needed such an ally.

At first, Lin Yuan thought that Purple Love would think it over before giving him a response.

!

But, she replied without hesitation and said, "Little Yuan, I will personally go to the Radiance Federation's imperial court tomorrow to greet the Radiance Federation's members of royalty and ask them to become allies.

"By the way! I saw the First Emperor Shark Clan near the Starling Lines Continent while I was on my way over here. The First Emperor Shark Clan's target is the Radiance Federation. There was an agreement between the Radiance Federation and the sea clans. Did a grudge form between the Radiance Federation and the First Emperor Shark Clan?"

Lin Yuan was delighted when he heard what Purple Love said.

It was great that the Heavenly Family Cottage was going to become official allies with the Radiance Federation.

However, Lin Yuan's face immediately turned stern when he heard the name 'First Emperor Shark Clan'.

Shark Awn of the First Emperor Shark Clan had almost killed the Mother of Bloodbath.

Lin Yuan could still vividly remember the sight of spikes protruding out of the Mother of Bloodbath in all directions.

The blood energy in Shark Awn and the Crimson Tentacle Algae's bodies all ended up absorbed by the Mother of Bloodbath in the end and allowed it to break through to Myth III and awaken its Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline.

If not for this outcome, Lin Yuan would have struggled to find a way to find an alternative source of blood energy, and the Blood Brew Grapevine would definitely have ended up as nutrition for the Mother of Bloodbath. The Mother of Bloodbath would likely also have died.

But now, the Blood Brew Grapevine had been spared while the Mother of Bloodbath's bloodline evolved.

Shark Awn had eventually fallen because Lin Yuan had summoned White Speak to defeat Shark Awn.

There was no way that Shark Awn would have sacrificed its life to supply the Mother of Bloodbath with blood energy and help it to increase its power.

Hence, there was no way that Lin Yuan would be letting the First Emperor Shark Clan off.

Purple Love was unaware of this.

Before Lin Yuan could open his mouth, Blue Lotus burst out with anger. "A First Emperor Shark Clan member almost killed Sister Jade Sundial's child. If not for Lin Yuan, Sister Jade Sundial's child would already have died at sea.

"There is now a blood feud between the First Emperor Shark Clan and Heavenly Family Cottage. Sister Purple Love, we have been lying below the radar because we didn't want to be disturbed by the troubles of the outside world.

"However, first, it was Tower Canon who attacked Sister Jade Sundial and now it's the First Emperor Shark Clan attacking Blood Love. If we continue to stay away, we will continue to be trampled on by outsiders.

"Since you've decided to become allies with the Radiance Federation, it means our Heavenly Family Cottage is stepping back into public exposure. Why don't we eradicate the First Emperor Shark Clan?

"They are a part of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors and are despicably in cahoots with the Freedom Federation. The entire clan migrated to the sea that belongs to the Freedom Federation and broke the balance between the sea clans. The Eight Clans of Sea Emperors live by a creed of protecting the sea and its ways. The First Emperor Shark Clan doesn't deserve to sit on such a throne!"

Purple Love knew that Blue Lotus was not one to be talkative.

She had spoken for so long because the First Emperor Shark Clan had almost killed Blood Love, and Blue Lotus wanted to get revenge for this deed.

No matter how calm Purple Love was, a wave of fury surged from within her when she heard what Blue Lotus said.

Luckily, Jade Sundial, Blood New Moon, and Blood Love had walked out to talk after they reunited.

If Jade Sundial found out that Blood Love had almost died, she would be filled with grief and self-loathing.

Purple Love hissed. "Besides delivering the handkerchief with the fragments of Jade Sundial's handkerchief, I had intended to get some of Tower Canon's blood on my hands. Since the two Pages of Tower Canon did not turn up in the Radiance Federation, we can vent our bloodlust on the First Emperor Shark Clan instead!

"There are plenty of clans that can take First Emperor Shark Clan's place in the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. The destruction of the First Emperor Shark Clan won't affect the sea clans in any way. I'm sure that the people from Vast Sea Labyrinth won't cause a commotion over this. After all, they are just using the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors as their conduits to control the sea clans.

"Blue Lotus and White Phoenix, the two of you go and tell the rest to lay siege to the First Emperor Shark Clan! They can accomplish this before the First Emperor Shark Clan arrives at the Radiance Federation."

Once Purple Love heard what Blue Lotus said, she immediately decided that First Emperor Shark Clan had to be wiped out.

She said to eliminate the First Emperor Shark Clan before they arrived at the Radiance Federation because she wanted to do the Radiance Federation a favor.

There was a natural gap between humans and sea clans because one group consisted of humans while the other was made up of feys.

The Radiance Federation and sea clans had signed an agreement that held both sides to certain standards.

If the Radiance Federation attacked the First Emperor Shark Clan, it would displease all the sea clans despite the fact that the First Emperor Shark Clan was at fault.

After all, although there were countless conflicts within the sea clans, they were still one body.

Vast Sea Labyrinth would never allow humans to kill one of their stronger conduits.

It would not do the Radiance Federation any good to have this matter blown up.

The sea was twice as large as the land.

In the past, a federation called the Strong Ice Federation, which had a Class 5 Creation Master, had angered Vast Sea Labyrinth because of their unfettered hunting of the sea clans.

Eventually, all the seas around the Strong Ice Federation turned violent, and 7,000-meter-tall tsunamis rose and crashed into the Strong Ice Federation.

The entire Strong Ice Federation was ferociously flooded.

Vast Sea Labyrinth even sent out experts to kill the Class 5 Creation Master from the Strong Ice Federation.

Because of this incident, Vast Sea Labyrinth earned the ire of all federations that had Class 5 Creation Masters. Vissit novelbin.c.𝒐m for updates

This forced the Vast Sea Labyrinth to promise that they would never resurface as long as the humans did not hunt the sea clans and only fished at a regular pace for food.

A long time had passed since this incident.

It was likely that Vast Sea Labyrinth had been trying to find an excuse to resurface ever since.

The Radiance Federation was not in a position to touch the First Emperor Shark Clan. However, there was nothing keeping the Heavenly Family Cottage from attacking the First Emperor Shark Clan.

Firstly, Heavenly Family Feys were also feys. Moreover, three members of Heavenly Family Cottage had married into Vast Sea Labyrinth.

If Vast Sea Labyrinth tried to cause trouble for the Heavenly Family Cottage, they would probably end up kneeling at the bottom of the sea.

Besides Jade Sundial, no other member of the Heavenly Family Cottage had a gentle personality.

1800 Lin Yuan's Bottomless Pit!

However, this did not mean that Vast Sea Labyrinth was weaker than the Heavenly Family Cottage.

In fact, Vast Sea Labyrinth had more experts than the Heavenly Family Cottage.

After all, the sea was immense. The three members of the Heavenly Family Cottage that married into Vast Sea Labyrinth had managed to attain such status because the Heavenly Family Cottage was powerful enough to stand toe-to-toe against Vast Sea Labyrinth and because their husbands were extremely devoted to them.

Once the Heavenly Family Cottage wiped out First Emperor Shark Clan, Vast Sea Labyrinth would not only have no objections but would even express their apologies to the Heavenly Family Cottage.

!

If Blood Love's three aunts found out that Blood Love had almost died at the hands of the First Emperor Shark Clan, Vast Sea Labyrinth might personally kill off the First Emperor Shark Clan themselves.

The husbands of Blood Love's three aunts would be unable to handle it if their wives went back to the Heavenly Family Cottage.

But it was clear that Purple Love did not intend to take things so far.

Blue Lotus' eyes lit up when she heard what Purple Love said, and she hurriedly said, "Sister Purple Love, White Phoenix never understands the task. Leave this to me!"

Blue Lotus excitedly took out her phone. 𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at n0ve/lbi/𝒏.c𝒐m

White Phoenix rolled his eyes when he heard what Blue Lotus said.

Stupid girl! I can't believe you still remembered to take a shot at me at such a time!

This was the first time Lin Yuan heard of Vast Sea Labyrinth.

He still did not have a good understanding of the factions in the sea.

Purple Love had not seen Lin Yuan in his merman form.

If she saw it, she would immediately think that Lin Yuan did not need to understand what kind of faction Vast Sea Labyrinth was because anyone from Vast Sea Labyrinth that saw him in such a state would immediately approach him.

Now that the matter was settled, Lin Yuan returned to his room.

Before entering the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he intended to look at the Willpower Rune he had just comprehended.

Back in his room, he activated his spiritual energy and released the Willpower Rune that was flying about within his soul.

The creamy white and translucent Willpower Rune continuously broke apart and regenerated.

Lin Yuan could sense a willpower called Soul Gathering within it.

Lin Yuan was taken aback by the appearance of this Willpower Rune because he had already comprehended two Willpower Runes since he contracted the Remembrance Soul Whale, and it started to absorb souls.

These two Willpower Runes were very similar in appearance but completely different fundamentally.

The last Willpower Rune that Lin Yuan had comprehended through Rememberling targeted the absorption of souls, not its reformation.

Rememberling had used that Willpower Rune to evolve to Fantasy Breed and gained the exclusive skill Soul Remember Gift.

Soul Remember Gift would enable the Soul Remembrance Soul Whale to turn souls that had been reconstructed to a certain extent into soul imprints that could be applied on a lifeform of the same type to increase its comprehension ability. This would make it easier for the target to comprehend Willpower Runes.

Although the new Willpower Rune that Lin Yuan had comprehended was more suitable for Rememberling, Lin Yuan did not regret his choice of Willpower Rune for Rememberling.

This was because Soul Remember Gift appealed to Lin Yuan too much.

It would not only be able to support Lin Yuan but also help him in managing his faction.

Despite being a B-rank spirit qi professional, Lin Yuan demonstrated such power during the group battle because of his relentless standards when it came to nurturing his feys.

The group battle was the first time that Lin Yuan had summoned Genius for combat.

Genius had used all of its power to suppress Lu Ou who had fused with his devil. The elemental and physical attacks that came from this were extremely powerful because Genius had used Crowded Cat.

The strength of Crowded Cat came from the cat-species feys in the marsh world.

If Lin Yuan wanted to increase Genius' power, he would have to nurture these cat-species feys.

Lin Yuan had the army of Hundred Questions Beast as well Di Wanmi in his arsenal.

As such, he had no lack of Creation Master resources.

However, Creation Master resources could evolve the cat-species feys to Diamond X/Legend but not enable them to comprehend Willpower Runes and laws.

Hence, it would be exceedingly difficult for the cat-species feys to evolve further once they reached Diamond X/Legend.

But with Rememberling's Soul Remember Gift, it would be much easier for the cat-species feys in the marsh world to comprehend Willpower Runes and laws.

Lin Yuan and Genius were symbiotic.

Genius might be powerful, but if its contractor was not Lin Yuan, Genius would not have been nurtured to such an impressive state because it required the most outstanding methods and simultaneous nurturing of many cat-species feys.

There were currently 3,470 cat-species feys being kept in the marsh world.

However, they were far from reaching the maximum number of cat-species feys that Genius could contract.

With the amount of spiritual energy that Genius had, it would be able to contract more than 7,000 cat-species feys.

It had only contracted about 3,000 so far because Lin Yuan had not had the chance to obtain many high-quality cat-species feys before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

It actually did not increase Genius' power to a significant extent when the cat-species feys were evolved to Diamond X/Legend. Crowded Cat was a very cost-ineffective ability.

Not even Class 5 Creation Masters would be willing to spend so many resources to nurture feys.

Only Lin Yuan, who had the Spirit Lock spatial zone and a special physique, could afford to nurture Genius.

Genius was not the only one. Red Thorn's Mouth of Relinquish was also a bottomless put that needed to be constantly fed. Chimey also needed a large number of strange flames in order to temper the sun within it.

Although Source Sand was slightly easier to nurture, it still needed to grind up about 20 earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls daily to use the pure earth-elemental energy to cultivate the Close Guard Sand.

Lin Yuan himself was a bottomless pit for resources, and so was Sky City.

Soul Remember Gift was a heavy load off Lin Yuan's shoulders.

Lin Yuan felt that Soul Remember Gift was even more precious than the abilities of some sacred source lifeforms.

Presently, Lin Yuan did not have any suitable feys for the Soul Gathering Willpower Rune he had just comprehended. He also did not plan on nurturing a fey specifically for the purposes of fusing it with this Willpower Rune.
