154: Chapter 154 Lin Yuan's aura disappears, Ye Qingxue collapses!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The cracks grew larger and larger.

An eerie white light seeped through the cracks, illuminating the entire nest.

A terrifying aura... was skyrocketing!

"Not good! She's undergoing an evolutionary breakthrough!"

Luo Qinghan's expression changed drastically:

"It's SS-rank! The Snow Egg King is about to break through to SS-rank!"

"We must interrupt her! Otherwise, we're all going to die!"

Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he struck instantly!

Swish—!

Invisible Spatial Power slashed toward the snow egg!

But—

Buzz!

A layer of white shield emerged from the surface of the snow egg, blocking the Space Cutting!

"What?!"

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted.

His Space Cutting was actually blocked?!

"Damn it! Her defensive power is even stronger than I imagined!"

Luo Qinghan gritted her teeth:

"We must use a stronger attack!"

Ye Qingxue didn't hesitate either, as her C-rank Frost Superpower erupted with full force!

A terrifying cold current surged toward the snow egg, attempting to seal it in ice.

But that layer of white shield remained steadfast, showing no sign of damage!

"How is this possible..."

Ye Qingxue's expression was grim.

Just then.

Crack—

The sound of a minute crack rang out.

Immediately following—

Time seemed to stand still.

The temperature of the entire nest... plummeted!

It wasn't just a drop of a few degrees; it instantly crashed below negative fifty degrees!

The moisture in the air was instantly frozen, and countless ice crystals condensed and suspended in mid-air!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The cracks expanded at an alarming speed!

"Not good—!"

Luo Qinghan's face turned deathly pale:

"Retreat! Retreat quickly—!!!"

Her voice carried a level of fear never heard before!

But—

Boom!!!!

In the next second, the snow egg exploded like a nuclear bomb!

Terrifying cold air swept out in all directions like a physical force!

Everywhere it passed, space itself was freezing!

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted violently, and his B-Rank Space Barrier was instantly deployed at full strength!

Buzz—!

The invisible barrier blocked the impact of the cold air.

But even so...

He felt an unprecedented sense of pressure!

The cold air dissipated.

In the center of the nest...

A figure slowly stood up.

It was...

A female figure.

About two meters tall, with a slender and perfect figure, her body was covered in scales that looked like ice crystal armor.

Every scale emitted a faint blue cold light, as if carved from the purest ice crystals.

Her head had menacing bone spurs that extended backward like a crown.

Long snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, drifting gently with her breath.

The most shocking part...

Was her face.

It was an extremely beautiful face, yet one that radiated endless killing intent.

Her features were breathtakingly exquisite, and her skin was like the purest white snow.

But those crimson eyes...

Held cruelty, coldness, and... endless majesty!

This was...

The Snow Egg King!

No, it should be said...

The Snow Egg Queen!

The aura radiating from her...

S-rank!

A true S-rank Evolved Beast!

And...

A top-tier S-rank only one step away from SS-rank!

Luo Qinghan was trembling all over.

She had seen countless powerful beings.

But someone like this woman, who made one feel as if their soul was being frozen just by standing there...

In both her past and present lives, she had never seen anything like it!

Ye Qingxue's face was also pale.

Her C-rank Frost Superpower...

Before this woman, was like a firefly before the bright moon!

They were simply not on the same level of existence!

"Hu... mans..."

The Snow Egg Queen spoke slowly, her voice hoarse and cold:

"Damned humans..."

"How dare you... interrupt my evolution..."

Monstrous killing intent surged from her crimson eyes:

"Only one step... and I could have broken through to SS-rank!"

"You... must all die!"

The moment the words fell—

Boom!!!

The Snow Egg Queen moved!

Her speed was so fast it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!

She instantly appeared in front of Lin Yuan, her slender arm transforming into ice crystal claws that slammed down fiercely!

"Watch out!"

Ye Qingxue and Luo Qinghan cried out simultaneously.

Lin Yuan's pupils shrank, and his B-Rank Space Barrier instantly deployed!

Buzz—!

The invisible Space Barrier stood before him.

But—

Rumble!!!

When the giant claw struck the Space Barrier, the space actually shattered like glass!

"What?!"

Lin Yuan's expression changed drastically.

His Space Barrier...

Was shattered?!

Is this the power of an S-rank?!

Bang!

The immense force slammed into Lin Yuan, sending him flying hundreds of meters!

Crack crack crack!

Buildings along the way were smashed to pieces!

Just then—

[Ding! Ultra-high quality collection target detected!]

[Name: Snow Egg Queen (Bai Ningfrost)]

[Identity: S-rank Evolved Beast King, Controller of the Frost Domain]

[Beauty Score: 98 (Peerless Beauty)]

[Figure: Perfect]

[Constitution: 1999]

[Spiritual Power: 1888]

[Superpowers: SS-rank Frost Control (Evolving), A-rank Frost Domain, A-rank Extreme Cold Freezing]

[Trait: Unspoiled]

The system prompt rang in Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan stood up from the ruins.

98 points...

This score was higher than all the goddesses he had collected.

And that terrifying constitution and Spiritual Power...

If he subdued her...

What kind of reward would the system give?

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered as he quickly weighed his options.

Kill her, or... subdue her?

In the instant he hesitated—

"Ah—!"

A scream rang out!

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted violently!

That was...

Ye Qingxue's voice!

Lin Yuan turned his head abruptly!

He saw—

The Snow Egg Queen had appeared in front of Ye Qingxue at some unknown point!

Her slender arm pierced through Ye Qingxue's shoulder like a sharp blade!

Blood...

Gushed from the wound!

Ye Qingxue's face was deathly pale, her body trembling, and her eyes were filled with pain!

"Qingxue—!!!"

Lin Yuan's voice roared like a beast!

In this moment—

All the hesitation, all the weighing of options, and all the calculations in his heart...

Completely vanished!

To hell with it!

To dare hurt his woman...

Die!!!

Lin Yuan slowly stood up, his voice cold to the extreme:

"You... are looking for death."

Boom—!!!

Terrifying killing intent erupted from Lin Yuan!

That was...

Pure killing intent!

A killing intent without any hesitation or holding back!

Luo Qinghan had never seen Lin Yuan show such an expression.

Those eyes...

Were like a Shura from hell!

"Lin Yuan..."

Ye Qingxue looked at him weakly, tears welling in her eyes.

She could feel...

Lin Yuan's rage.

For her...

He was enraged.

The Snow Egg Queen narrowed her eyes.

She could feel...

The aura on Lin Yuan had changed.

That killing intent...

Made her feel a hint of danger.

"Interesting..."

The Snow Egg Queen sneered, pulling her arm out of Ye Qingxue's shoulder.

Ye Qingxue fell painfully to the ground.

"However..."

She licked the blood on her hand:

"You think a mere human like you can kill me?"

In the next second—

Boom!!!

SS-Rank Lightning Ability, full eruption!

B-Rank Space Ability, full eruption!

The two Superpowers perfectly merged at this moment!

Lin Yuan's hands formed seals!

In the sky, thunderclouds rolled!

Space began to distort violently!

Countless bolts of lightning rampaged within the distorted space!

This move...

Was Lin Yuan's current strongest combination technique!

"Die!"

Lightning, coupled with Spatial Power, slammed fiercely toward the Snow Egg Queen!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

A terrifying explosion echoed throughout the nest!

The earth cracked!

The fungal carpet burned!

The Snow Egg Queen let out a roar of rage!

Wounds appeared on her body!

Blood flowed out!

On the other side—

Luo Qinghan quickly rushed to Ye Qingxue's side, her S-rank Fire Superpower transforming into warm healing power, temporarily stopping the bleeding from the wound.

Ye Qingxue was weak, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan.

Her Lin Yuan...

Was fighting for her.

"Did it work?!"

Luo Qinghan looked at the battlefield, her eyes lighting up.

But in the next second—

Her smile froze.

Because...

The Snow Egg Queen's wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"This... what kind of recovery power is this?!"

Luo Qinghan was in disbelief.

The Snow Egg Queen flexed her injured parts, and an even more intense killing intent surged in her eyes:

"A bit interesting... this human can actually wound me..."

"But... it's not enough!"

She charged at Lin Yuan again!

Her speed was even faster than before!

But Lin Yuan...

Just looked at her coldly.

"Is that all?"

He spoke flatly.

In the next second—

Boom!!!

The SS-Rank Lightning Ability and B-Rank Space Ability merged perfectly!

Lin Yuan waved his right hand, and space distorted as if being torn apart!

Countless bolts of lightning rampaged within the distorted space!

Buzz————!

The space within a thousand-meter radius was instantly imprisoned!

The Snow Egg Queen's sprinting form... was forced to a halt in mid-air!

"What?!"

Her expression changed drastically!

Her body... couldn't move?!

No, to be precise...

The surrounding space had been completely sealed off!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Fear surged in the Snow Egg Queen's eyes.

Lin Yuan did not answer.

He simply raised his hands.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

In the sky, countless bolts of lightning condensed like divine punishment!

Dense lightning snakes slithered through the clouds!

The entire sky... seemed to have turned into an ocean of lightning!

Swish swish swish swish!!!

Thousands of lightning bolts struck down simultaneously!

Completely submerging the Snow Egg Queen!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

Terrifying lightning rampaged across her body!

The Snow Egg Queen let out a shrill scream!

Her frost armor continuously shattered under the bombardment of the lightning!

Blood...

Gushed from all over her body!

Luo Qinghan was too shocked to speak.

Is... is this Lin Yuan's true strength?!

SS-rank lightning combined with B-rank space...

Could actually suppress and beat the peak S-rank Snow Egg Queen?!

No...

This wasn't just suppressing and beating her...

This was a one-sided crushing!

The lightning continued for a full minute.

When the lightning dissipated...

The Snow Egg Queen was charred all over, kneeling on the ground.

Her frost armor was almost entirely shattered.

She was dripping with blood.

Her aura... was weakened to the extreme!

"Hu... man..."

She raised her head, fear surging in her eyes for the first time:

"You... what kind of monster are you..."

Lin Yuan looked at her indifferently, slowly walking closer.

With every step...

The Snow Egg Queen's fear deepened!

"It's over."

Lin Yuan said flatly.

In the next second—

Buzz!

All the aura on Lin Yuan's body...

Instantly vanished!

Completely vanished!

It was as if this person didn't exist at all!

In the perception of Ye Qingxue and Luo Qinghan...

Lin Yuan's aura...

Had completely disappeared!

"W-what?!"

Luo Qinghan's expression changed drastically!

Her precognition ability... could no longer sense Lin Yuan!

Is this...

Death?!

Impossible!

Lin Yuan was clearly still standing there!

But why...

Could she not sense his aura at all?!

On the other side.

Ye Qingxue had been leaning weakly against the ruins.

But in the next second—

Her pupils constricted violently!

She saw Lin Yuan still standing there...

But she couldn't sense his aura!

In her sensing...

Lin Yuan's life aura...

Had vanished!

Completely vanished!

Time...

Seemed to stand still at this moment.

Ye Qingxue's world...

Collapsed in this instant.

"No... impossible..."

She murmured to herself, her body trembling violently.

The wound on her shoulder was still bleeding...

But she couldn't feel the pain at all.

Because...

Her heart hurt even more!

It hurt so much she couldn't breathe!

"Lin... Lin Yuan..."

The light in her eyes...

Was extinguishing bit by bit.

"No... NO!!!"

Ye Qingxue let out a heart-wrenching scream:

"Lin Yuan—!!!!"

That voice...

Was so shrill it would break one's heart!

She charged frantically toward Lin Yuan!

Ignoring the injury on her shoulder!

Ignoring her body's weakness!

The rationality in her eyes...

Completely collapsed at this moment!

Her coldness had vanished.

Her calmness had vanished.

At this moment, only madness and despair remained in Ye Qingxue's eyes!

Tears wouldn't stop flowing down.
