Chapter 89
A powerful, Burst-Speed Combo slammed into Yan Wu.
Yan Wu was shocked. "You've actually reached the Third Grade Peak!"
Li Yang said nothing. After maximizing her Spirit Points, she locked onto Yan Wu's weakness.
Yan Wu's most powerful Star Skill is Time Rewind, but although this Star Skill sounds impressive, it cannot actually Time Rewind.
He briefly created an illusion of time distortion...
However, with Li Yang's extremely high Spirit Points, this illusion was easily seen through. She was not disturbed in the slightest and still accurately Earth Spike Yan Wu in the heart.
In his haste, Yan Wu unleashed a defensive Star Skill.
This Star Skill was only blue; if Li Yang were only at the Third Grade Initial Stage, her attack would have been blocked. But at this moment, she and Yan Wu were at the same level, and Shadow Moon easily pierced through, with the Severing Space Slash falling like a deluge...
Yan Wu's pupils contracted sharply as he stared in shock at the girl before him.
Li Yang calmly set off for the "Execution."
"No! Let me go! I don't want to die!"
Li Yang did not spare him.
She did want to find clues about the person behind the scenes, but Yan Wu was too cunning. Even if she kept him around, it would be difficult to get anything out of him.
With a ding, the system popped up a message: [Learnable Star Skill - Time Rewind detected. Consume lifespan to learn?]
Li Yang: "Study."
As she gave the system orders, she swiftly attacked the remaining Hunting Blade assassins.
[Lifespan +50 years.]
Since the start of the war, Lianxin has been very worried about Li Yang and has been constantly increasing her Lifespan Points.
These Lifespan Points really helped Li Yang.
It wasn't that she was able to break through to a higher realm again, but rather that she had just consumed a large amount of Lifespan Points, and now she was using the lifespan replenished by the Lianxin to learn the Time Rewind.
The system still refuses to teach people how to be human, and the Time Rewind has taken 5000 years.
Li Yang didn't have time to study this Star Skill right now; she was still in battle.
The assassin with the Hunting Blade never expected that Yan Wu would be killed so easily.
They were already distracted and disoriented, and now they instantly lost their fighting spirit.
Aside from a few who fiercely resisted and were completely killed, two or three others were tied up by the Little Ox using the Thousand-Leaf Flower.
The battle was over, but the Divine Miracle explorers on the outskirts were still in a daze, completely baffled as to what had just happened!
How did the Divine Miracle Core turn into students of the Zhongdu Military Academy?
Were the students of the Zhongdu Military Academy manipulated, or...?
Jiang Yuqing wouldn't miss such an opportunity to gain a lot of Shock Points. He raised his voice and said, "This is not the core of the Divine Miracle Core, nor are we manipulated by the Divine Miracle Core. Those who were killed were assassins from 'Hunting Blade.' They stole their spots and intended to assassinate our Huaxia Heavenly Fortune Bearer!"
He originally wanted to say the Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Nature Department, but after thinking about it, he decided to include himself. What if the Shock Points didn't fall on him?
Li Yang doesn't need Shock Points; she's probably already amassed Slaughter Points.
Jiang Yuqing's voices, amplified by the Roaring Pill, carried for nearly ten miles, likely reaching even those Divine Miracle explorers who dared not approach and were hiding in the dog hole.
For example, Wang Ruika.
Wang Ruika opened his eyes in the dog hole, stunned for a moment. "What's going on?"
The Divine Miracle outside the fortress asked, "Where is the Divine Miracle Core? And what's the deal with this fortress?"
"This is a research project of the Department of the Agronomy Department," Li Yang said calmly.
Jiang Yuqing: "..."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
It has to be Li Yang.
His opening remarks immediately captivated the entire audience.
At this Zhong Kun suddenly spoke up, "Senior Sister, why is your backpack emitting golden light?"
The backpack contained Lianxin, and Li Yang tugged at it, quickly taking the backpack off.
Countless golden rays spread outwards, gradually forming a golden shield.
Lianxin, however, was enveloped by this shield and stood there motionless.
Li Yang sensed a strange aura, one that did not belong to any Divine Miracle explorer or the Hunting Blade organization, but rather to a pressure emanating from a higher dimension.
Soul Fragment!
With his exceptionally high Spirit Points, Li Yang instantly grasped what it was.
How did the Divine Miracle Core end up in her backpack?
Wrong!
The Divine Miracle Core is aimed at the Lianxin!
Things that Li Yang couldn't understand before, she now suddenly understood.
She initially thought those Astral Realm creatures were after her, but it turned out they were after Lianxin.
"Lianlian!" Li Yang called out to him in her Spirit Sea.
Lianxin's voice, weak and muffled as if through a veil of mist, came through. "Fellow Daoist, please help me... I don't want to eat it..."
Li Yang: "..."
Isn't there something wrong with what you said?
Aren't you being eaten?
Li Yang then thought of her own teacher...
Alright, no matter how powerful this Soul Fragment is, it can't possibly be more powerful than Half-Step Supreme.
Lianxin... you can actually eat them!
However, Lianlian doesn't like to eat random things.
Chapter 89
With their leader killed, the Hunting Blade Squad instantly lost their fighting spirit.
Li Yang reminded them in his Spirit Sea, "Leave two alive, tie them up with Thousand-Leaf Flower."
The battle is over; the strength of the Agronomy Department has shocked everyone present.
Although the incident happened suddenly and everyone was in a daze, Jiang Yuqing's explanation was so thorough that everyone understood it clearly, making the whole thing seem even more surreal.
How did the team leader become the assassin leader?
Weren't the Agronomy Department students hostages? How did they end up killing people?
And what that tall girl said--
Research projects in the Department of the Agronomy Department?
What the hell is this?!
Jiang Yuqing, who had been explaining earnestly, noticed something amiss and stopped talking nonsense. He excitedly ran to Li Yang's side and looked at her backpack.
What happened to your backpack? Has this little plush toy mutated?
Not to mention Jiang Yuqing, even the students in the Department of the Agronomy Department were unaware of Lianxin's existence.
All they knew was that one day, Li Yang had a small doll on her shoulder. At the time, everyone was quite curious about it because the doll was so exquisite and beautiful.
But Li Yang never introduced herself to them or let anyone touch her. Over time, everyone got used to it and no one asked any more questions.
Everyone gathered together, staring intently at the glittering little golden doll.
Zhong Kun asked, "Senior Sister, what's going on? Did you bring some special Star Curse?"
Lin Zhaoqin said, "It doesn't seem like Star Curse, but rather like some kind of Star Artifact."
Shen Shangchi, being quite knowledgeable, joined the discussion, saying, "It does indeed resemble Star Artifact, and a very high-grade one at that..."
Ying Qi said, "The battle is over, why waste such a high-level Star Artifact?"
Everyone had clearly misunderstood, thinking that Li Yang had brought some kind of defensive Star Artifact and was using it now.
But in reality, what kind of Star Artifact are there?
This is clearly...
Li Yang suddenly realized what was happening.
The Divine Miracle Core!
This is not just Soul Fragment, but the Divine Miracle Core!
A mere artifact cannot form the Divine Miracle Core, nor can a mere Soul Fragment sustain this Divine Miracle...
Both need to be combined into one.
So this thing in front of us is the Divine Miracle Core that everyone has been longing for.
Li Yang's mind was filled with nothing but -- a magical artifact!
A divine artifact favored by the Divine Venerable!
What an incredibly powerful treasure this must be!
"Lianlian!" Li Yang said immediately, "If you don't want to eat, then don't. I'll help you."
[Lifespan +50 years.]
Lianxin said weakly, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Li Yang stared intently at the translucent golden shield and said to everyone, "This is the Divine Miracle Core; it's trying to attach itself to my Lianlian."
Jiang Yuqing: "!"
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]
He then asked, "What is Lianlian? Is it this doll?"
Li Yang glared at him and emphasized, "He's not a toy; he's very important to me."
That was extremely important; the two of them even shared their lives.
[Lifespan +100 years.]
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]
No wonder he's Li Yang, he's a fetishist!
Li Yang communicated with Lianxin in her Spirit Sea: "What should I do? Should I break this golden shield first?"
Lianxin said, "Yes! Please break it with all your might!"
Li Yang was worried. "Will it hurt you?"
Lianxin shook her head. "No, this shield is extremely sturdy, imbued with the power of certain laws... Fellow Daoist, you would have to exert all your strength without stopping for a moment to have any chance of breaking it."
The power of laws?
As expected of a Divine Venerable artifact, it is truly extraordinary.
Feeling full of energy, Li Yang immediately poured the Power of Starlight into Shadow Moon and slammed it down with a bang!
Everyone was initially startled, and some even dared not look.
Li Yang's little dolls were very cute, and they were terrified that they would be stabbed in two by the knife.
A metallic clanging sound was heard.
The golden shield remained completely unharmed.
Li Yang said, "Come help us. We need to shatter the Divine Miracle Core before we can Divine Miracle."
Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the situation.
They only killed Yan Wu group; the danger was not yet over.
Only by destroying the Divine Miracle Core can one escape this space.
Lin Zhaoqin reacted the fastest, slamming his longsword down with a loud clang.
Li Yang and she attacked simultaneously, both possessing top-tier damage output, yet their attacks only produced a metallic clang when they struck the golden shield.
Lin Zhaoqin's expression changed, and he said, "Is the defense that high?!"
His and Li Yang's all-out attack couldn't budge them even an inch...
This thing is strange.
Li Yang said, "Let's all work together!"
