Emergency Measures

System: "... Yes, there are, but people with such systems are usually easy targets."

System: "This system does not want its master to become a lonely person."

Ling Yuan fell silent, stroking his chin. "What you said makes a lot of sense. If there's an opportunity in the future, we should recruit them."

System: "... Master, you didn't listen to me at all."

"Hehe."

"..."

After fighting for about half an hour, the demons stopped.

He stopped, panting.

Not only was he physically exhausted, but his chest was also bleeding continuously.

The vast secret realm, apart from the small plot of land beneath Ling Yuan's feet, has been transformed into a thousand-meter-deep pit.

The previous eight branch halls were nowhere to be seen.

The land beneath Ling Yuan's feet stands like a pillar supporting the sky, unyielding and unshakeable.

"Tired? Here's some 'Farmer's Three Punches,' it's a bit salty, but it can replenish many elements your body is missing."

Looking at the panting demon in front of him, Ling Yuan said considerately.

A large '#' character appeared on the demon's forehead.

"I can't break your defense, and I refuse to believe anyone else can!"

With that, the demon flew angrily toward the others.

Then, he was stunned.

Because everyone had the same blue protective shield as Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan flew behind the demon and patted him on the shoulder. "Um, honey, sorry, have you ever heard a saying?"

The demon was startled by Ling Yuan's sudden appearance, then coldly asked, "What did you say?"

"A cowardly soldier is a coward, and a cowardly general makes a whole army cowardly," Ling Yuan said, scratching the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed.

Demon. "..."

"Enough!"

"How dare you, mere human, mock me!" the demon roared in anger.

"No matter how disgusting your defenses are, I will..."

"Just admit it's disgusting."

"... Ah—!!! You damned bastard, shut up!"

"Hehe."

"Pfft~"

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted from the demon's mouth, making him even more listless.

"Alright, I've played with you long enough, let's call it a day."

"What?" The demon's expression changed.

"Do you still have the strength to resist?" Ling Yuan revealed a devilish smile.

"Wait, you, don't come any closer!"

The over fifty-meter-tall body kept retreating.

It's not that he's a coward, it's just that it's too scary!

Behind Ling Yuan, a golden halo filled the sky, from which countless liberated holy lances emerged.

The sheer amount of divine power is terrifying.

"Hmm? Don't you want to die? Then can you tell me about this secret realm now?"

A holy spear touched the demon's arm.

Immediately, a hissing sound rang out, and wisps of blue smoke rose from his arm.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, this secret realm is..."

"Laugh!"

A chain pierced straight through the demon from behind.

The demon's pupils contracted. "You!"

The next second

The holy lances burst forth simultaneously, engulfing the demons in golden light.

"Finish."

Ling Yuan clapped his hands and looked at Wang Ming and the others. "What are you still standing there for? Let's go."

"Ling Yuan, you are not trustworthy."

Ling Yuan: "..."

I'm too lazy to argue with them.

Wings of light appeared on his back, and he flew upwards, carrying Kanna.

The rest followed closely behind.

"Arrive."

Ling Yuan stopped at the edge of a cliff.

Everyone looked over and discovered that there was a passageway on the cliff.

"Is what's below a cover-up?" Cecilia asked.

"That's right, this is the real secret realm."

"The real secret awaits us."

Let's go.

After passing through the dark passageway, about ten minutes later, the group arrived at an ancient bronze gate.

"You actually got in?"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

"Oh? It's you."

Xiao Shi exclaimed in surprise.

The voice belonged to none other than the Flood Dragon that had helped them cross the Soul Locking Bridge earlier.

"This place has been occupied by that demon for thousands of years, but I never expected that you would defeat it."

"You must be quite strong, right? How did you get trapped here?" Ling Yuan asked, looking at the Flood Dragon statue on the bronze door.

"You'll find out when you go inside."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the gate.

The gate had none of the weight of bronze; it was just like an ordinary wooden door.

He was gently pushed aside by the crowd.

Chapter 470 Emergency Evacuation

"It's really quite simple."

Hearing the system's words, Ling Yuan replied.

"Don't touch those things for now."

After giving these instructions, Ling Yuan walked straight towards the altar on the high ground.

Others looked on curiously.

After crossing the steps, he quickly arrived at the edge of the altar. Trusting the system, Ling Yuan reached out his hand.

Buzz~

The moment the finger touched it, the space rippled like water.

It feels just like touching ordinary water.

The ripples did not stop Ling Yuan's hand. Seeing that there was no obstruction, Ling Yuan directly reached inside.

He grabbed the floating fragments on the altar with one hand.

"Ding! World Fragment detected. Merging in progress!"

As the system finished speaking, the fragments erupted into a terrifying white torrent, which seemed to be all purposefully rushing towards Ling Yuan's body.

"Ling Yuan?!"

"Brother Ling Yuan!"

The others were shocked to see this.

"Don't come any closer, I'm fine." Ling Yuan shouted, stopping the crowd that wanted to rush forward.

"What's the situation now?" Wang Ming asked loudly.

"This fragment is recognizing its owner," Ling Yuan fabricated.

"Huh?" Wang Ming was dumbfounded.

With such a big commotion, they've already chosen a master?

"This kid..."

At the Soul Locking Bridge, Flood Dragon Zhu Kun opened his pupils, his face filled with disbelief.

It was actually approved outright?

You know, other people have tried to get the fragment before, but they were crushed into mincemeat within five meters of it. How could this guy ignore everything and grab the fragment itself directly?!

Click!

A cracking sound rang out, followed by the collapse of rocks, and the mountain that was pressing Zhu Kun's body began to gradually separate.

Its colossal body, spanning tens of thousands of meters, slowly emerged from the mountain.

"Ding! Absorption complete!"

About five minutes later, the light faded, and the system's voice came through.

"..."

"That's it?"

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Ling Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Ding! Master, this fragment can only be used after the system has analyzed it." The system prompted.

"Then you can analyze it slowly."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan shook his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and walked downstairs.

"Brother Ling Yuan, is everything alright?"

As soon as I came down, Ranran surrounded me.

"It's nothing, just an energy body. By the way, you can take everything here now," Ling Yuan said with a smile.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say."

Wang Ming exclaimed excitedly and couldn't wait to get to a platform.

Above it, a long sword with a black and gold scabbard rests.

Wang Ming reached out, grabbed the scabbard, and took it off the shelf.

"Ding! Heavenly Dao Imprint detected."
