552: Power, Fire of the Moon

“Hui Yues Fire?”

Upon hearing about Sword Spirit Hui Yue’s ability, Ye Qiuning immediately perked up.

Everyone on the bridge also looked at Chu Mengxuan with curious expressions.

Chu Meng Mengxuan nodded, blinked her clear eyes, and continued to stammer, “That… it’s probably… Hui Yues Fire can weaken Mental Energy… so…”

As she spoke, her face flushed crimson, as if she were doing something extremely difficult.

Suddenly, she sighed and murmured to herself, “You explain it! I can’t explain it clearly!”

Seeing this strange scene, everyone’s faces showed understanding.

Goodness, she’s letting the Dragon Soul take over… “Hey, this matter is indeed a bit complicated, my mother can’t explain it clearly.”

The Dragon Soul quickly took over.

Chu Mengxuan’s clear eyes became sharp, and a wild, arrogant smile curved her lips.

Seeing that expression, everyone shivered.

Don’t say it, really don’t say it.

That little expression, it’s exactly like Qin Yang’s.

Lin Xiao’er and Zhang Lingxiao exchanged glances, both smiling wryly.

Among those present, only they knew the identity of the “Dragon Soul.”

Considering the expedition, the two had wanted to keep it a secret, but this little fellow came out again.

The people on the bridge weren't fools.

One explanation was fine, but two explanations would definitely arouse suspicion.

This time, it was very likely that they couldn't hide it.

Lin Xiao’er sighed and asked the 'possessed' Chu Mengxuan, “You said Hui Yues Fire can counter the Eye of the Demon’s ability, how do you know this?”

“This is just a guess, not guaranteed to be correct.”

Chu Mengxuan first flawlessly set a premise, and then said, “When a person’s Mental Energy is zero, they cannot enter a dream. If we can zero out the Beastmen’s Mental Energy, they won’t be able to enter the dream.”

After she finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, seemingly not quite understanding.

Only Zhang Lingxiao loudly exclaimed, “Brilliant! This guess is very reasonable!”

Lin Xiao’er was stunned and secretly messaged him, “Grandmaster, really? Are you sure you’re not flattering the future Princess?”

Zhang Lingxiao shook his head and said, “Transforming reality into a dream is actually a high-level illusion, and the premise for casting an illusion is to contaminate the opponent’s Mental Energy. If there is no Mental Energy, the illusion will fail.”

“Now I understand,” Lin Xiao’er said, nodding.

Everyone present also showed enlightened expressions.

At this moment, Ye Qiuning, however, said apologetically, “But I am only Grandmaster Tier; I cannot cover so many Beastmen with Hui Yues Fire.”

Lin Xiao’er frowned.

Ye Qiuning was right.

The number of Beastmen must be in the hundreds of thousands.

In front of such numbers, Ye Qiuning's Hui Yues Fire could only be considered a tiny spark.

At this moment, Chen Moran, an Undead Professionals, stepped forward and said, “If it's about Mental Energy, my Soul Fire should also be able to break this illusion. I just need to summon a skeleton army and combine it with Corpse Explosion to instantly zero out these Beastmen's Mental Energy.”

Hearing Chen Moran say this, Lin Xiao’er’s eyes lit up, feeling like she had found the answer.

However, Chu Mengxuan decisively shook her head, “No, your Soul Fire is useless.”

“Why?” Chen Moran was a bit puzzled.

Chu Mengxuan said, “The Beastmen’s Mental Energy has already been corrupted by the Eye of the Demon. And transforming reality into a dream is a power of authority; ordinary methods cannot break it, but…”

At this point, she looked at Ye Qiuning and said, “Aunt Hui Yue’s power also belongs to authority.”

“What! Hui Yues Fire belongs to a power of authority?!”

Ye Qiuning was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.

What a power of authority was, ordinary Professionals had no way of knowing.

Only the dependents of gods and high-ranking individuals at the Five Sages level could obtain information about this power.

As imperial relatives, everyone present had some understanding of authority.

This was the power of gods, imbued with Law, and could be absolutely effective in certain aspects.

For example, the Dawn Power that purges evil; once locked onto, it cannot be resisted at all.

“Could it be that Hui Yue is a god?”

Ye Qiuning's eyes trembled, her heart extremely complex.

Having been with Hui Yue for so long, she still didn't know that her partner was so powerful.

Thinking this, Ye Qiuning summoned her sword, causing it to float in the air.

Soon, a graceful Elven figure draped in white gauze slowly appeared on the bridge.

Hui Yue’s posture was light, her spirit body surrounded by an elegant halo.

On her delicate face, her expression was serene, possessing an extraordinary and ethereal beauty.

A cascade of silver-white long hair fell like a waterfall, emitting a faint glow.

“Hui Yue, is what Her Majesty the Empress said true?” Ye Qiuning asked Hui Yue.

“Hui Yue greets Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Empress.”

Hui Yue first bowed slightly to Lin Xiao’er and Chu Mengxuan, then looked at Ye Qiuning and said, “I’m sorry, I’ve hidden it from you for so long. The Hui Yues Fire I possess is indeed a power of authority.”

“So, your name isn’t Hui Yue either?” Ye Qiuning asked.

Hui Yue nodded slightly, “My name is Aer, the Saintess of the Crescent Moon Elves, and the proxy for Huiyue Power.”

Ye Qiuning said with a complex expression, “I thought of you as a sister, yet you didn’t even tell me your real name.”

Hui Yue said apologetically, “The moment I became the Saintess of Hui Yue, I gave up my identity as Aer, so I felt it wasn't necessary to inform you… I'm sorry…”

“Now is not the time for this.”

Lin Xiao’er brought the topic back and asked Hui Yue, “Can you use the power of authority to break the Eye of the Demon’s illusion?”

“Yes, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager.”

Hui Yue nodded respectfully and said, “Hui Yues Fire can zero out the Mental Energy of target units, which other powers cannot do, but…”

At this point, Hui Yue looked at Chu Mengxuan, “Her Majesty the Empress, with my ability, I cannot cover so many Beastmen with Huiyue Power.”

“Please call me Princess,” Chu Mengxuan said, lifting her chin.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao’er and Zhang Lingxiao both twitched their mouths, feeling that the secret could no longer be kept.

Indeed, everyone was extremely sensitive to the word 'Princess.'

He Zhiyi and Ye Qiuning’s gazes towards Her Majesty the Empress had already changed.

The Imperial Father-in-Law, Chu Mengchen, even asked Xu Nantian, “Old Xu, I feel… this really doesn’t seem like the Dragon Soul.”

Lin Xiao’er immediately sent a message to “Chu Mengxuan,” “Silly girl, can you hear me? We are still at war; it’s best not to reveal your identity, lest you become a prime target for the enemy!”

“Chu Mengxuan’s” eyes trembled, and an excited smile appeared on her face, as if to say: Grandma, you finally acknowledge me!

Lin Xiao’er smiled at her, then turned to the crowd and said, “Xuan’er’s Dragon Soul possesses an extremely special ability. It can use all powers for its own purposes. As long as it is given a wisp of Hui Yues Fire, it can summon a monstrous sea of fire.”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

So, that's how the world-destroying Divine Lightning of the Sea of Annihilation came to be!

One must know that the more powerful an ability, the harder it is to scale.

For example, the Fire of Decay, which can cause all things to wither, cannot be used on a large scale like the Soul Fire.

However, Her Majesty the Empress’s ability can amplify any power by hundreds or thousands of times!

This ability was simply terrifying!

As everyone was in shock, Lin Xiao’er had already looked out the ship's side.

Gazing at the rapidly growing primeval forest, she said, “Issue my command: the assault team exits the cabin, cover Her Majesty the Empress and Consort Ning in battle! Give these otherworldly demons a little shock!”
