Unstoppable! Nothing can stop him!

"Enemy attack! Defend!"

Su Li's reaction was extremely fast. She shouted sharply, and the silver spear in her hand instantly danced into an impenetrable curtain of silver light, blocking all the energy beams shooting toward her and Lin Yuan!

"Clang! Clang!"

Crisp collision sounds rang out endlessly!

The other soldiers were also battle-hardened elites, and their reactions were not slow either!

They instantly formed a defensive Formation, activated their energy shields, and brandished their weapons, desperately resisting this sudden barrage of death!

However, this was only the beginning!

"Boom!"

On the ground, countless runes suddenly lit up, and Formation after Formation of slaughter appeared out of thin air!

Fire, frost, lightning... attacks of various attributes erupted from beneath their feet!

At the same time, a giant net made of energy descended from the ceiling above, bringing with it a terrifying power of restraint as it covered them from above!

Sky, ground, all around! No dead ends! Indiscriminate! A three-dimensional trap attack!

This was not some ruin at all, but a thorough, bona fide tunnel of death!

"Watch your feet! There's a gravity trap three steps to the left!"

"The runes on the right wall will explode! Don't get close!"

While waving her spear to fend off the tidal wave of attacks, Su Li used her keen insight to quickly analyze the battlefield, constantly calling out warnings to the soldiers behind her.

Under her command, although they were in constant danger, the entire squad miraculously suffered no casualties, stubbornly holding out against this first wave of fierce attacks.

The soldiers looked at Su Li's back, filled with admiration and trust.

Their ice-berg instructor was not only powerful, but her command ability was also impeccable!

However, just as Su Li was preparing to lead the team to find an opportunity to break these traps one by one, the figure who had been standing in the same spot from the beginning, too lazy to even move, finally became impatient.

"Are you done yet?"

Lin Yuan frowned, looking at the energy beams flying all over the sky and the Formations constantly lighting up beneath his feet, his face full of disdain.

It was too noisy. And it was flashing so brightly it hurt his eyes. It seriously affected his mood for brewing sleepiness.

"Sigh, what a hassle."

He sighed, and under the puzzled gazes of Su Li and all the soldiers, he slowly raised his hand.

Then, he lightly waved it toward the tunnel ahead, which was still crazily spewing rays of death.

"Everyone, be quiet."

As his voice fell, a half-moon shaped, solid-looking silver Sword Qi flashed from his fingertips and vanished.

That Sword Qi did not look large, nor did it have any earth-shattering momentum.

It just flew forward silently.

Everywhere it passed, whether it was the overwhelming energy beams, the frantically operating Formation of slaughter on the ground, or the giant energy net overhead that imprisoned all things, the moment they touched this silver Sword Qi, they instantly melted and annihilated like ice and snow under the sun, turning into the purest energy particles.

The whole world, at this moment, seemed to have been pressed with a mute button.

All sounds, all light, disappeared. Only that silver Sword Qi remained, moving forward all the way, carving a safe, unobstructed path through this tunnel of death!

After doing all this, Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, gave a big yawn, and put his hands back into his pockets.

"Let's go."

He took a step, walking leisurely toward the depths of the passage that had been swept clean by the Sword Qi and was now in a mess.

... Dead silence. The tunnel fell into a death-like silence.

The terrifying traps that were previously enough to tear an army to shreds were now just a mess of wreckage on the ground.

On the walls and on the ground, a straight, bottomless sword mark had been left behind.

It was as if an invisible god, holding a heavenly sword, had slashed through here, violently erasing all dangers and obstacles.

The air still retained that extremely sharp Sword Intent, making every soldier present feel their skin stinging, and even their Soul trembling.

They looked at the back of the figure walking ahead leisurely with his hands in his pockets. Their throats were dry, and they couldn't say a word.

Is this... the true strength of Consultant Lin?

Before, on the Oulu Continent, they only knew that Consultant Lin was strong, but they didn't have a clear concept of exactly how strong he was.

But now, they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

The ancient Formation that was enough to make the top Formation Great Master of Dragon Xia Kingdom despair had been punctured by his single finger.

This tunnel of death, which was enough to wipe out their elite hundred-man squad, had been leveled by his single sword strike.

From beginning to end, he hadn't even paused his footsteps.

This was no longer just strength. This was a miracle!

Su Li followed behind Lin Yuan. She looked at the sword mark and felt that familiar yet domineering Sword Intent in the air, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew that the gap between her and this man was even greater than she had imagined. So great that... it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

But in her heart, there was no jealousy or frustration at all; instead, an indescribable sense of peace welled up... With him here, it felt like even if the sky fell, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The team passed through the cleared death tunnel in silence.

At the end of the tunnel, the view suddenly opened up. A subterranean cavern, huge beyond imagination, appeared before everyone's eyes.

On the dome of the cavern, countless fist-sized crystals emitting soft white light were embedded, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

And in the very center of the cavern was a huge altar made of some unknown white jade.

Above the altar, a pillar of energy reached the sky, shooting straight up to the dome.

At the core of the pillar of light, a crystal about the size of a human head, glowing with seven-colored glaze and seemingly containing the stars of the Universe, was slowly rotating.

A majestic energy, pure to an outrageous degree, continuously dissipated from that crystal, forming visible energy ripples that spread in all directions.

Just breathing the air here made the soldiers feel that the energy within their bodies had become much more active, and their whole bodies felt comfortable.

"Is... is this the ancient Spirit Crystal?"

A soldier looked at the magnificent crystal and couldn't help but utter a dreamy, obsessed murmur. This was simply a divine object!

If one could obtain it, let alone the Huagang Realm, even the legendary realm of the Martial God would not be out of reach!

However, Su Li's expression turned incomparably cold in an instant. Because she saw that around the white jade altar, there were already a dozen figures standing.

They were all wearing black robes embroidered with strange blood-colored patterns, exuding a cold, evil, and ominous aura.

Divine Court!

And at the very front of those dozen Black-robed figures, a tall man whose aura was as vast as an abyss was standing with his back to them, looking up at the ancient Spirit Crystal.

He seemed to be performing some kind of ritual. As he watched, this person was forming strange hand seals with both hands. In an instant, streams of blood-colored energy surged from his palms!

"Boom!!!" The blood-colored energy was like a venomous snake, attempting to invade the pillar of energy guarding the Spirit Crystal!
