On the Lingjue Death Ground side, Yue Ling Bona’s sixth pet, the Jin Resonance, let out a 'grrra' sound, similar to mechanical parts rubbing and rotating, before a crack appeared right down its middle.
It was like a magic orb splitting into two halves.
Inside, an amber-colored small sphere was revealed, with a circle of fine lines distributed circularly around it, which were the human-familiar iris contraction rings.
Evidently, this sphere was the Jin Resonance’s eyeball.
“The Jin Resonance has opened its eyes!”
Yue Ling Misheng shrieked in terror, his voice high-pitched, his throat directly cracking.
But no one scorned him.
At this moment, everyone present was mentally prepared to die. Yue Ling Suiwan and Yue Ling Qianchen didn't hesitate, sending their respective pets back into their Pet Space.
Even if they would suffer some backlash due to their own deaths, at least their lives could be preserved.
In this situation, there was no need for them to accompany them to their deaths.
“Jin.”
The Jin Resonance’s eyeball rotated 360 degrees without blind spots, as if observing this strange and novel world. There was curiosity in its clear eyes, but also regret.
Their race, from the moment of birth, was synonymous with tragedy and destruction.
One glance, one lifetime.
One lifetime, one glance.
The beginning of their understanding of this world was the end of their world.
“Click, click, click...”
The sound of machinery operating sounded again.
Like a death knell aggressively blown.
“No!” Yue Ling Misheng roared in despair, his face full of unwillingness.
At this moment, it seemed even the unthinking monsters sensed the anomaly, letting out ear-piercing shrieks together.
Even the crazed and demonic Yue Ling Bona slightly closed her eyes, and a line of faint, mist-like blood tears uncontrollably overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
A bitter yet quickly relieved smile slowly bloomed on her young and beautiful face.
Just as it was about to freeze.
“Time Stop!”
“Shuluo He!”
The girl's calm and clear voice suddenly rang out.
The scene froze as expected.
The next second, the blood tears from the corner of Yue Ling Bona’s eye began to flow backward.
The Jin Resonance also returned to the exact moment its body first showed a crack.
“Uncle Beifeng.”
Mingxi signaled, and Aletai Beifeng nodded, drawing the Lightning-Patterned Clearfield Blade from his back.
He swiftly, fiercely, and accurately brought the blade down on the Jin Resonance.
“Banishment.”
Banishment, to be precise, is Spatial-Temporal Banishment, a Heavenly-Rank skill possessed by the Lightning-Patterned Clearfield Blade itself. It can spatially-temporally banish a single target unit. The banished area is fixed, which is the original spot, but the banishment time is random.
If the banished target dies during banishment, their bones are gone, and they cannot return to the original time node.
If the banished target survives during banishment, they return to the original time node.
This skill is both useful and not useful. It is useful because it is a spatial-temporal skill that can banish any object to the same space in the future or past, which is an incredibly powerful ability.
It is not useful because it is full of uncertainty, and after banishment, the banished object returns to the time node °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° when it was banished.
In a battle, if the opponent is lucky, they might return from banishment not only unharmed but also having gained a huge opportunity.
In the time it takes for you to blink, your opponent could transform from an ordinary weakling into a powerful, buffed-up cheater.
If such a thing really happened, your ancestors' coffin lids would probably not stay shut.
There's no way to aid the enemy like that.
However, in the current situation, Spatial-Temporal Banishment is a crucial and excellent skill.
The Jin Resonance was forcibly dragged back to its just-opened-eye state by the Shuluo He. Being spatially-temporally banished at such a moment would almost certainly lead to its self-destruction at a certain time node.
As for whether it would accidentally harm others.
The Lingjue Death Ground is a special case; 99.9% of the time, no one appears here at all. Even if someone did, they could only blame their own bad luck.
In any case, neither Mingxi nor Yue Lingren, as the ancestor of the Yue Ling Clan, would feel guilty because of it.
What do unfortunate events that happened at your time node have to do with me now? freēwēbηovel.c૦m
“Jin...”
Just as the Jin Resonance was about to make a sound, open its clear, innocent eyes, and prepare to give the world a shock, it felt the surrounding scenery rapidly changing. Time and space shifted their colors in a kaleidoscopic manner.
It saw the azure sea, saw pavilions and towers, saw skyscrapers, and saw crowds like weaving threads...
“Jin!”
It knew its life was heading towards extinction, but it also felt its life was being sublimated.
The world was truly vast.
So cruel, yet so beautiful.
“Is it over?”
Huang Huaqiang secretly wiped the cold sweat that had seeped from his back.
He had no idea how distraught he was when they used the Tianlong Claw to find the so-called Lingjue Death Ground, only to see a Jin Resonance 'opening its eyes'.
It didn't matter if he died; he was just a worthless life.
But Mingxi absolutely could not be harmed.
Just as he resolved to use his and his pets' lives to carve out a path to survival for Mingxi, the girl showed him with her actions the vast difference between people.
He, an SS-Class Beast Master, a young talent who had lived for over three hundred years,
was less calm and composed in the face of crisis than a Xiao Guniang who was only 16 years old.
Look at her; the first thing she did upon seeing the Jin Resonance opening its eyes was not panic or nervousness, but making the most accurate judgment, directly nipping the crisis in the bud.
She truly was the pride of their Dragonflower Country.
What an outstanding child! All the teenagers in the entire alliance combined were not as outstanding as this child!
Huang Huaqiang was both relieved and excited at this moment.
“Not certain before you spoke, but after you spoke, I can confirm it’s temporarily fine,” Mingxi replied with a smile.
Since Spatial-Temporal Banishment returns one to the original time node after it ends, it would be a matter of only a second before or after.
The fact that things were calm on their side now indicated that the Jin Resonance had already self-destructed within the banished time point.
“Grandpa!”
“Uncle Beifeng! Xiao Qian!”
Yue Ling Suiwan and Yue Ling Qianchen, who had been prepared to face death, looked at the five people standing outside the altar. Their minds were still a bit muddled, but their faces were full of pleasant surprise.
Yue Lingren and the other four naturally saw the situation on the altar.
Only a sparse four people remained on the twelve sacrificial positions.
And black monsters, packed like sardines.
“Sigh.”
Yue Lingren sighed.
The final round of past inheritance contender battles also had considerable casualties; it was already a blessing from their ancestors if half of the candidate inheritors survived.
There had even been situations where the competition ended with only one candidate remaining because the support offerings were placed too close, leading to overly dense fighting and a large number of support offerings dying, preventing the candidate inheritors from getting enough resources for transformation.
But a situation like this time, with external interference and internal betrayal leading to such a tragic outcome in the contender battle, was a first.
