Taking Action II

After a moment's thought, Lin Hui understood that materialized poison masters and physicians could completely break free from the limitations of drugs and infinitely utilize their divine souls to condense medicine.

"Alright, now Shang Qijiu, Thunder Jade Daoist, Lin Chengdao, Guo Yuxiao, the four of you will lead the team this time. Head to Falling Star Abyss to deal with the Myriad Stars Tower. Be careful to distinguish the imposters. The Myriad Stars Tower is located in a Wind Disaster area mixed with faint star power. Therefore, the Disaster Energy on them is almost always mixed with star power impurities. To identify them, you can start from there." The fair-skinned man gave a calm instruction.

"May I ask, Bai Ming Brother Baiming, what exactly is the reward given by the Sect Master this time?" Thunder Jade Daoist asked, bowing respectfully.

"Great Heart Luan will perform a pre-visualization. This is the top reward of the second tier of our sect. It allows us to use the sect leader's power to forcibly deduce anything for you. Whether it's a cultivation technique, a treasure, or an opportunity, anything you can think of can be used," the white-skinned man explained. "Understood, thank you." Thunder Jade Daoist's smile disappeared, and his eyes became slightly serious, clearly tempted.

Lin Hui felt a slight stirring in his heart, sensing that this reward somewhat overlapped with the Supreme Omniscience Seal he had just evolved.

It would be best to have it, but if he can't, he doesn't crave it that much.

"Alright, let's prepare to move out. This time, we will be the ones to launch the attack. When you engage in combat, do not be greedy for credit or act rashly. Pay close attention to our movements. If anything seems amiss, retreat immediately," Junchen Primordial Lord reminded him.

The five responded in unison.

The outer region; Falling Star Abyss.

On the black earth, countless cleaners were locked in a fierce battle.

Tens of thousands of cleaners were deployed to both Thunder King Sect and Myriad Stars Tower, and colorful lights kept exploding on the ground, creating a lively scene. In the sky, the pale blue torrent of wind Wind Disaster slowly dispersed.

A gigantic figure that almost filled the entire sky slowly emerged; it was none other than Junchen Primordial Lord.

Beneath her, amidst the flowing blue Disaster Energy, were hundreds of the Thunder King Sect cultivators.

Among these cultivators, those standing at the highest position were the five deputy hall masters and hall masters who had come together.

Next were Lin Hui and his group of five.

"Our sect has two teams in total. I will lead one team, and the Four Seasons Primordial Lord will lead the other. In a moment, use the celestial sphere as a signal. When the sky and earth turn dark, you will all retreat immediately," Junchen Primordial Lord instructed.

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Junchen Primordial Lord nodded, stood up, and flew away into the distance. Five powerful figures at the Palace Master level followed closely behind, tearing open space together and disappearing into the black rift. "Go! You can roughly identify Myriad Stars Tower cultivators using sect tokens, but don't trust them completely. Everyone be careful." The fair-skinned man, Bai Ming, added a word of advice before leading a group of people away into the distance.

The remaining cultivators mostly had their own circles, and they scattered in twos and threes, flying away into the distance.

Lin Hui and the other three were the final winners, so naturally they had been targeted long ago.

At this moment, a group of cultivators gathered around and, through telepathic communication, quickly formed a brief alliance.

"Brother Lin, how about we act together?" Guo Yuxiao offered.

Lin Hui actually preferred to go into seclusion and cultivate to improve his realm rather than go out to fight. After all, he now had the Supreme Omniscience Seal, which could be used once a year to forcibly improve his realm. If he continued like this, he could master a top-level technique in ten years and complete all of them in thirty years, and he would probably be able to directly enter the next energy level.

Unfortunately... time waits for no one.

Therefore, he didn't want to cause any trouble this time, nor did he want to attract too much attention; he just wanted to get by.

If it weren't for the fact that Junchen Primordial Lord knew his true strength and that deliberately feigning weakness might offend him, he wouldn't have even bothered to show his face in the previous sparring sessions.

Now that Guo Yuxiao wants to form a team and share the pressure, he is naturally quite welcoming.

"With pleasure," Lin Hui returned the greeting with clasped hands.

He formed a team, and the other two, Thunder Jade Daoist and Shang Qijiu, also formed a team together. Bai Ming then led his people away on his own.

They dispersed again, tearing through space and disappearing.

After traversing more than ten times, they arrived at their destination: the enormous black entrance to Falling Star Abyss, resembling the gaping maw of a colossal beast, capable of devouring everything, constantly emanating dark black Wind Disaster and Disaster Energy.

Lin Hui and Guo Yuxiao flew to the highest point, looking down at the enormous abyss below.

The two communicated telepathically, and immediately two cultivators stepped forward, each holding a Cleaner Control Token issued for this mission, and issued commands. Soon, waves of Cleaners rushed into Falling Star Abyss.

But after these cleaners entered, they made no move at all. Soon after, a second group of thirty cleaners entered.

This time, Guo Yuxiao directly ordered several of the other cultivators below to follow him inside.

"Senior Brother Guo, although we are not as strong as you, we are of equal status. What right do you have to order us around?"

Among these people, a beautiful woman with a cold and stern expression couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal.

"You can choose not to go. Just like I can choose to kill you every time I see you after I go back. Our sect doesn't have any rule against killing fellow disciples," Guo Yuxiao with a smile.

The woman's eyes grew even colder. They were all from the Fusion Faction, and as long as not too many people died, they weren't afraid at all.

"Have you thought this through? We hopeless, low-potential people aren't as delicate as you. Brother Guo dying once is completely different from us dying once! Boom!"

The next instant, Guo Yuxiao appeared directly beside the woman and struck her on the top of the head with a palm.

The blue light shattered, and the woman exploded, turning into countless Wind Disaster Energy vanished completely.

Previously, he and Lin Hui had fought for a long time without a clear winner, leading people to believe that his strength was somewhat inferior to the winners of the other two groups. However, when he made his move now, the huge difference in speed, strength, and defense immediately suppressed the anger of all the disgruntled people present.

The woman didn't even have time to unleash her powerful attack targeting matter before being slapped to pieces by the overwhelming difference in power.

Both are bodies formed from highly concentrated and condensed Wind Disaster Energy, yet the difference is so great that they seem to be from different species.

"Go ahead." Guo Yuxiao glanced at the others.

The group dared not speak further and quickly flew towards Falling Star Abyss below.

After waiting for a moment, everyone received a safety signal from within the abyss, and then flew in together.

The Falling Star Abyss is 120,000 light-years wide, but its length and depth are unknown.

It is home to the most dangerous Disaster Energy in the area, and also a gathering place for many fugitives who harbor hatred towards the Thunder King Sect and the Myriad Stars Tower.

Therefore, once inside, one must not only be wary of the Myriad Stars Tower, but also of other attacks.

Lin Hui mingled in the group, remaining silent the whole way, Guo Yuxiao arrange the formation.

At first, some thin, black snakes with no head or tail attacked the group, but since everyone was a master of materialization, the cultivators in front easily conjured targeted matter and wiped out a large number of them.

Then, a few scattered, mad monsters hiding here launched a sudden attack.

These individuals, suffering from severe cognitive deficiencies, have remained hidden in this area undetected and undetected by the cleanup crew, leading to their ever-increasing numbers.

After injuring two people, Guo Yuxiao changed the team's formation, placing the strongest defensive forces on the outer perimeter.

He set up a formation of his own design inside, connecting everyone's power into one.

"Brother Guo, you truly have remarkable skills. You designed such a powerful formation yourself. Compared to you, I can only barely keep up in terms of cultivation. Indeed..." Lin Hui praised.

"No..." Guo Yuxiao smiled. "If I had Brother Lin's powerful talent, why would I need to cultivate the Way of Formations?" Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries...

Within the group, a cultivator's mind Microflash as he secretly transmitted hidden information to the outside world using a secret technique.

In a cave deep within the abyss.

Two tall men, clad in red robes and with tiny black vortexes floating behind them, were sensing the situation here through a secret technique.

"What does this mean? Exchanging tokens? Is the Thunder King Sect using the same strategy from five hundred years ago again?" one person frowned and said softly.

"Why not? True genius is revealed in times of crisis. Both Junchen Primordial Lord and Four Seasons Primordial Lord are ruthless. Their so-called disciples are nothing more than tools to be used by them," another person said leisurely.

"I haven't been in this court for long, nor have I been a member of the Fusion Faction for very long, so I'm not very familiar with this kind of tactic yet," the first person sighed. "I used to be a member of the Resistance Army, but so what? Whether it's the Fusion Faction or the Resistance Army, it's just a broad category. Different Source Disaster have different forces, and their styles differ as well. In the end, those of us from the External Source level in both factions are the real main force. It's just a back-and-forth between us few dozen people. All the other geniuses are just figureheads."

"Sigh, it's just that I'm not used to it yet."

"You'll get used to it eventually. Otherwise, do you really think the Fusion Faction experts Sect Master protect these geniuses? Back in the day, who wasn't a genius? Sending these weaklings to the battlefield—wasn't the point to use them as bait to distract our External Source forces?"

The two waited quietly as Guo Yuxiao and Lin Hui's group slowly approached.

As beings at the spacetime distortion level, they could naturally tell at a glance which of these people were truly top geniuses.

But at this moment, these geniuses are still being treated as expendable pawns, thrown out to dilute the overall number of External Source.

If one can avoid dying a few times, then one has truly become a genius who has been tempered by blood and fire.

If someone were to undergo such a complete and utter transformation, then they wouldn't be a true genius at all.

As for revival and escape, even if they revive, they cannot escape the control of External Source.

As the distance gets closer.

There are two in total, one for you and one for me. Which one do you choose?

"The younger one, take it easy."

"Good!"

Swish!

The two figures suddenly twisted and disappeared from the spot.

at the same time.

Guo Yuxiao, who was discussing combat experience with Lin Hui, suddenly changed his expression drastically. The space behind him cracked open instantly, causing him to stumble backward into it. This was the first time he realized something was wrong and tried to run away.

But unfortunately...

The spatial rift, which was about to close completely, opened up again, just as if rewinding a video, and ejected him from it once more.

"It's External Source!!" Guo Yuxiao trembled with fear, no longer looking at Lin Hui and the others. His entire body exploded with the energy of the Wind Disaster and Disaster Energy. He actually self-destructed most of his body in an instant, and amplified the power of the explosion with some secret technique. With the terrifying instantaneous explosive power, he forcibly distorted the spacetime distortion effect of the External Source's attack for a moment.

The essence of rules is that they are supported by power. With enough power, any rule can be overthrown.

He knew at that moment that the difference in their power levels was too great, and he could only try his best to survive when the other party was not paying attention.

And at that moment, he succeeded.

After a soft exclamation in mid-air, a massive aura vanished rapidly, chasing after Guo Yuxiao.

Leaving behind a group of cultivators whose expressions changed drastically, and Lin Hui with an ugly look.

Although he possesses a plethora of special effects and secret techniques, his chances against external External Source are truly uncertain.

Swish.

A blurry red figure flashed into view.

"Everyone stay where you are. The leader, you..."

It's stuck.

The red figure's voice suddenly stopped, like a tape recorder that had been paused.

He stared at Lin Hui for a few seconds, stunned.

"Sorry, you've got the wrong person."

Swish.

The next moment, his figure vanished completely.

"Brother Wang, wait for me!" A faint voice drifted from afar.

Lin Hui and the hundreds of cultivators were left bewildered, unaware of what had just happened.
