As for their origin, it was even stranger; according to Black Pearl's investigation, they actually appeared from a hidden crevice inside a very secret cave on the edge of the Lingjue Death Ground. freewebnoveℓ.com
If Black Pearl hadn't been careful enough, she wouldn't have discovered the rabbit-hole-like cave that was less than half a person's height.
Upon confirmation, the crevice in the cave was a spatial rift.
However, that spatial rift only allowed things to exit, not enter.
Mingxi sent Emerald Green to check it out and confirmed that it could not be destroyed by any means; even destroying the cave would not destroy that spatial rift.
"Do we have to kill all these monsters at the same time for them not to regenerate?" Aletai speculated.
"That's possible." Mingxi felt his speculation was very ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) reasonable and decided to give it a try.
"In that case, Blade Old's Killing Gaze Maitreya, Uncle Beifeng's Cannon Turret Xu Xu, Director Huang's Mi Tuo Nong Feng, plus Golden Yuanbao, let them pair up, and their strongest area-of-effect skills will simultaneously bombard two areas.
With these monsters' defensive capabilities, two skills should be enough to annihilate all the monsters at once."
The three had no objections.
"Emerald Green, first gather all the monsters on the altar outside."
Yue Ling Suiwan and Yue Ling Qianchen's defensive shields were already running low on energy; if Golden Yuanbao and the other three's skills hit their shields, there was a high probability they would be destroyed.
Given that the heir competition had not yet ended,
neither Mingxi nor Yue Lingren intended to let them lose their qualifications first; if things couldn't be explained clearly in the end, who knew what would happen.
And ensuring one of them could obtain the heir status was also very simple.
Mingxi's black eyes sparkled with sharp light; she didn't like working so hard, fighting tooth and nail, only for someone else to reap the benefits in the end. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Jin."
Emerald Green nodded, elegantly spreading its right claw; a Soul Flower mark on its back disappeared, and at the same moment, a flame-like flower bud appeared in its hand.
It gently tossed it upwards.
With a 'snap,' like fireworks blooming, a thousand trees and ten thousand pear blossoms opened, and the Soul Flower suddenly magnified, blooming magnificently in mid-air.
Petal after slender petal rapidly scattered in all directions, accurately shooting into the bodies of the monsters on the altar.
This scene was like a brilliant magic show.
And after the petals entered the monsters' bodies, all the monsters' bodies seemed to jam like old VCRs, then uniformly turned around and walked off the altar.
This was one of the new skills Emerald Green awakened after evolving beyond its rank to the King tier: Soul Control.
A crowd control skill that, although it consumed Soul Flowers, was absolutely effective.
Perhaps because it required the consumption of Soul Flowers, Emerald Green could immediately sense the awakening of this skill.
With Twelve Qiluo, Mingxi was not worried about Emerald Green being unable to replenish its soul energy, so she used it with virtually no psychological burden.
Confirming once again that the monster count was at the full value of 289!
"Prepare!"
"Fire!" Mingxi commanded.
Golden Yuanbao and the other three obeyed instantly, releasing their skills simultaneously.
"Boom! Boom!"
Light exploded, and terrifying damage poured down like an avalanche.
All the monsters concentrated in the fixed area were powerless to resist, annihilated almost simultaneously.
A large amount of pulverized dust gathered into a sandstorm, surging like a tide towards the altar.
"Absolute Barrier."
"Devouring the Heavens and Earth."
Chiyu and Bright Crystal had already positioned themselves in front of the altar.
The dust formed by the monsters had no destructive power and was completely blocked by the invisible barrier Chiyu deployed.
Meanwhile, Bright Crystal stood in front of the barrier, opening its large mouth, releasing its characteristic skill 【Devouring the Heavens and Earth】.
The dust had no intelligence and was merely restricted by some rule, so it could not and had no ability to evade.
Affected by the suction, it was forced into Bright Crystal's mouth.
"...Characteristic skill 【Devouring the Heavens and Earth】?" Yue Lingren and the others were stunned; they hadn't expected Mingxi to have another trick up her sleeve, which she hadn't mentioned before.
Mingxi had also done this just in case.
She agreed with Aletai's idea, not only because she also thought that perhaps only by killing all the monsters at the same time could the problem of the endless stream of monsters be solved, but also to allow Bright Crystal to swallow all the dust formed by those monsters at once.
She always felt that those monster powders were a big problem.
Regardless of whether they were the source of the monsters' resurrection, they absolutely could not all be absorbed by the altar.
Let's just say her sixth sense was at play.
"...Junior, won't Bright Crystal get an upset stomach from this?" Qian Bingning stood beside Mingxi, curiously watching Bright Crystal, who was still 'eating.'
Mingxi shook her head.
Bright Crystal certainly wouldn't get an upset stomach; 【Devouring the Heavens and Earth】 theoretically wasn't about it eating things, but rather its internal space storing waste.
And this waste was not only harmless to Bright Crystal itself but would also slowly transform into energy to enhance it.
Perfect waste recycling, turning waste into treasure.
"Guwo."
The sand and dust formed by the 289 monsters actually wasn't much, not even enough to 'fill a gap in its teeth' for Bright Crystal's internal space, but Bright Crystal stated that these powders contained extremely pure energy, and it felt like it had gotten a little stronger.
Once the powder was completely absorbed, it could become even stronger.
Bright Crystal was unusually gleeful.
Its big eyes blinked, looking quite adorable.
"What attribute?" Hearing Bright Crystal's words, Mingxi asked curiously.
Second-hand waste, why couldn't it be a rose!
Bright Crystal scratched its head, seeming a bit unsure how to describe it.
"Guwo." It seemed to be attribute-less, but also not; I can't put my finger on it!
Mingxi didn't bother Bright Crystal's small, limited brain anymore; as long as it was a good thing, that was enough; we don't need the truth about everything.
"We seem to have succeeded." The few turned to look at the spatial rift, now exposed to view, feeling a bit nervous.
Swish— Just then, a sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out behind Mingxi.
"Mingxi!"
"Watch out!" Yue Ling Suiwan and Yue Ling Qianchen on the altar warned simultaneously.
But Mingxi, whose attention had just shifted, seemed a bit dazed and didn't react in time.
A long sword solidly pierced through Mingxi's heart, its blood-stained tip exposed on her chest.
Drip.
Drop.
The sound of dripping water echoed endlessly in the empty environment, like the steady drip of a courtyard water clock.
"Ha." Someone's soft chuckle broke the suffocating silence.
"Haha." The laughter was dry, as if several kilograms of dried chicken manure were stuck in her throat, unable to be swallowed.
She was clearly choking and uncomfortable, yet incredibly excited, as if Heaven had heard her prayers.
Let justice be served, let retribution be swift.
Yue Ling Bona, whom Mingxi had cruelly cut into a human pig, laughed, her eyes filled with the pleasure of seeing her enemy die.
A figure quickly walked to her side and stomped down mercilessly.
"Pfft." Yue Ling Bona's wounds, which Little Silver Flower had forcibly healed, rapidly burst open.
Gurgling blood poured out in torrents.
Like a flood.
That person grabbed Yue Ling Bona by her collar, lifted her up, and directly threw her back to her original altar position.
