A divine pill fell from the heavens! One pill could revive the dead, and even a paladin would kneel in submission!

"Damn it! He got away!"

Almost the instant Ryan disappeared, the group of Black-robed figures from the Divine Court rushed to the scene.

They watched the rapidly closing spatial rift, their faces filled with anger and resentment.

One of the Black-robed figures roared in fury, "Let me tear open this space and chase him down!"

True Qi surged within his body.

"Stop!"

The leader of the Black-robed figures barked coldly, stopping him.

"Have you forgotten Lord Divine Official's orders?"

"The other end of the rift is Dragon Xia Kingdom!"

"We suffered heavy losses there before! Lord Divine Official has ordered that until the plan is complete, we are not to take any action in Dragon Xia Kingdom for the time being!"

The Black-robed man who wanted to pursue froze upon hearing this.

A look of deep dread appeared on his face.

He spat resentfully toward the spatial node that had now completely sealed shut.

"Hmph! That guy is lucky to be alive!"

The leading Black-robed man glanced coldly at the ruins that had been razed to the ground.

"Losing one is of no great consequence."

"Pass down my orders!"

"Our plan on the Oulu Continent continues!"

...Dragon Xia Kingdom, Kunlun Mountains.

On the outskirts of Tianshu Base, a patrol team's off-road vehicle was driving slowly along the boundary of the defense zone.

The wheels rolled over the gravel-strewn ground, making a faint 'crunching' sound.

"Captain, do you think Consultant Lin's Breakthrough this time will make the Spiritual Qi at our base even denser?" in the passenger seat, a young soldier asked curiously while wiping the energy rifle in his hand.

The captain in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with a resolute face. Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced toward the lawn in the center of the base, his eyes full of awe: "Don't overthink it. How could we possibly fathom Consultant Lin's methods? Just patrol well and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Just then, the soldier on the roof responsible for lookout suddenly let out an urgent shout: "Captain! Unknown individual detected three hundred meters ahead!"

The middle-aged captain's heart tightened. He immediately stepped on the brakes, picked up his binoculars, and looked forward.

On the wasteland not far away, a figure clad in silver armor lay there motionlessly.

The armor was covered in hideous cracks, and dark red blood had soaked through the plates, glinting with an eerie luster under the sunlight.

"All units on alert!"

At the middle-aged captain's command, the five soldiers on the vehicle instantly jumped out. Their energy rifles were all aimed at the figure as they slowly surrounded it.

As they got closer, they could see clearly that lying on the ground was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner—it was Ryan, who had escaped from the Oulu Continent.

At this moment, Ryan had long since lost his previous high spirits.

He was covered in wounds, his armor was in tatters, and the bone-deep wound on his chest was still bleeding. His face was covered in dust and blood, and his breath was as weak as a flickering candle in the wind. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, no one would have thought he was still alive.

"Captain, he seems... to still have breath." A soldier knelt down, tentatively feeling Ryan's carotid artery, and spoke in surprise.

The middle-aged captain frowned, carefully examining the armor and standard weapons on Ryan. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "This armor style doesn't look like our Dragon Xia Kingdom's, nor does it look like the surrounding Alliance's... Could it be one of those Oulu Continent knights who came out of the spatial rifts before?"

"Command Center, Command Center! The perimeter patrol has discovered a heavily injured foreign national, suspected to be a member of the Oulu Continent Holy Knights Order. Requesting instructions!"

He immediately took out his communicator and spoke into the microphone in a heavy voice.

From the other end of the communicator, Shi Potian's voice soon came through: "Bring him back to the base immediately and send him to the medical center for treatment! Note, maintain high alert throughout the process. Report any abnormalities immediately!"

"Copy that!"

The middle-aged captain hung up the communication and instructed his subordinates: "Lift him onto the vehicle. Be careful, don't touch his wounds."

Two soldiers carefully lifted Ryan and placed him in the back seat of the off-road vehicle.

The off-road vehicle roared as it drove toward the interior of the base, leaving a trail of dust behind... Tianshu Base, Medical Center.

When Ryan was carried into the emergency room, it immediately caused quite a stir.

"Is this... one of those knights who came out of the spatial rifts before?"

"How did he get injured like this? It looks like he went through a battle to the death!"

The medical staff gathered around, and seeing the horrific injuries on Ryan's body, their faces all showed expressions of shock.

The director of the medical center was a white-haired old doctor. He had been in battlefield medicine for decades and had seen countless severely wounded soldiers, but seeing Ryan's injuries, he still couldn't help but gasp.

"Quick! Prepare the examination equipment!"

At the old director's command, the medical staff immediately got busy.

ECG monitors, vital signs monitors, wound scanners... pieces of precision medical equipment were rolled in and connected to Ryan's body.

The data on the screen made everyone's expressions turn solemn.

"Blood pressure is extremely low! Heart rate is weak! Multiple comminuted fractures! Internal organs are severely damaged! Most importantly, there is still a residual cold energy inside him, constantly eroding his life force!"

A nurse said with a trembling voice while looking at the data on the screen.

The old director's brow furrowed into a knot. He carefully examined the wound on Ryan's chest, his eyes full of helplessness: "The injuries are too severe. Even using our base's best medical resources, we can at most barely keep him alive. Recovery is almost impossible... Moreover, that cold energy inside him is very strange. Ordinary medical treatments can't clear it at all. If this continues, he won't last three hours."

The surrounding medical staff fell silent.

They all knew that the old director's judgment was correct.

Ryan's injuries had already exceeded the scope of their treatment capabilities.

Just then, the emergency room door was pushed open.

Lin Yuan walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets.

He was still wearing those faded casual clothes, with a hint of post-sleep lethargy on his face, as if he were just passing by.

"Consultant Lin!"

Seeing Lin Yuan, the medical staff immediately bowed respectfully, their eyes full of awe.

The old director also hurried forward, sighed, and said, "Consultant Lin, you're here. This foreign knight's injuries are too severe, we..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, interrupting the old director's words, and his gaze fell upon Ryan on the hospital bed.

He just gave a casual glance and saw the problem inside Ryan's body.

"What remains in his body is the Divine Court's Shadow Energy; ordinary medical treatments are indeed useless."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

Hearing this, the old director's eyes flashed with surprise: "Consultant Lin, you recognize this energy?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer but instead pulled a jade bottle from his pocket.

The jade bottle was pure white and carved with complex patterns. As soon as it was taken out, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the entire emergency room.

This medicinal fragrance was fresh and elegant, yet it carried a surge of majestic vitality. Taking a single breath made one feel refreshed and completely relieved of fatigue.

"What a rich medicinal fragrance!"

The medical staff couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Yuan opened the jade bottle and poured out a crimson Medicinal Pill that looked like a ruby.

The moment the pill appeared, the temperature in the emergency room seemed to rise several degrees. The surrounding air began to fluctuate, and even Spiritual Qi faintly began to gather.

"This is..."

The old director's eyes widened, and his voice was trembling slightly.

He had been in the medical industry for decades and had seen countless rare medicinal ingredients and pills, but he had never seen such a startling pill!

But based on experience, he could quickly judge that this was a Heaven Rank Peak-grade Pill!!!
