155: Chapter 155: A System Revealed?

An unusually striking light rose slowly from the chest of that dog thing, Commander Shi Haidong's corpse.

It was a ball of emerald green radiance, exquisitely lustrous to the extreme.

Entirely translucent and clear, without a shred of murderous impurity, surrounded by layers of faint, shimmering Qi currents, flowing gently.

This flash of green light was abrupt yet dazzling, like a wisp of pure vitality born from the ashes of a chaotic world, instantly capturing everyone's gaze.

Mo Yufei had originally been standing quietly with his eyes lowered, his gaze indifferent as it fell upon the corpse below, examining the final remnants of this battle.

But the moment this green light rose, his pitch-black eyes suddenly brightened, intense surprise erupting in his calm depths, and he subconsciously blurted out an exclamation.

"Holy crap! Looted equipment?"

He had seen crystal core condensed from the demise of exotic beasts, life-bound spiritual essence left behind by monsters, spiritual Origin dissipated by fallen Cultivators, and Heaven And Earth Treasure.

But the green light before him completely exceeded all his knowledge.

It lacked the inherent fierce malice of exotic beast crystal core, the thin and bland fluctuations of cultivation spiritual power, and even more so, the Divine Soul aura left by remnants of Magic Treasure.

Mo Yufei raised an eyebrow, full of curiosity and astonishment in his heart.

He couldn't determine the Origin of this thing at all; it wasn't spiritual Origin, not refined from a Physical Body, not dropped from a storage vessel, and certainly not a spiritual object naturally generated by heaven and earth.

Could this be? That dog thing's System?

Just as he was focusing his gaze and secretly speculating, the emerald green light mass floating slowly above the corpse suddenly underwent a drastic change.

Hum—

A subtle yet clear resonant sound rang through the low altitude.

The originally loose, swirling shimmer instantly gathered inward, fine light spots rapidly retracting, compressing, and solidifying.

In just two or three breaths, the originally fluffy, flowing halo completely solidified into a fist-sized, round, and flawless emerald light sphere.

The light sphere had restrained radiance, its texture as transparent as jade, with myriad Qi patterns faintly flowing and sinking within, mysterious and unfathomable.

The moment it solidified and took shape, the green light sphere shot into the sky without warning.

Its speed surged to the extreme, dragging a slender emerald light tail, tearing through the low-altitude airflow, and frantically darting towards the clouds ten thousand meters above, as if it had long been poised to break free from this battlefield and flee into the distance.

Benboba, who was closest to the light mass, reacted first.

This chatterbox Parrot was originally flapping its colorful wings, slacking off in the low altitude.

Boredly watching the cleanup of the battlefield below, still complaining in its heart that it hadn't gained any benefits after the fight.

Suddenly seeing this top-tier green light shooting into the sky, its round bird eyes instantly widened, full of naked greed.

"Good fellow! The grand finale treasure has arrived!"

Benboba let out a strange cry, without the slightest hesitation, flapping its wings with all its might.

A whistling wind-breaking sound suddenly exploded, colorful wings sliced through the air, its body transformed into an afterimage, flying forward with the fastest speed in its life, biting tightly onto the trajectory of the fleeing green light sphere.

It had no Supernatural Ability, no spiritual power enhancement, and could only rely on the strength of its Physical Body and a pair of genetically modified giant wings.

Benboba knew clearly that this kind of strange light mass born from nothing must be a supreme treasure.

It was the closest, so it would definitely be able to grab it first.

But in the next instant, it was completely dumbfounded.

The escape speed of the green light sphere was getting faster and faster, its Ascension momentum fierce and incomparable.

Benboba flapped its wings until it was almost exhausted, its wings trembling and numb, all its strength drained, hanging tightly behind the light sphere, only a hair's breadth away from touching it.

But this hair's breadth was a chasm.

Every time it was about to get close to the green light sphere, the outer layer of the sphere would automatically ripple with a layer of invisible, gentle Qi field.

It didn't hurt anyone, didn't explode, but possessed absolute repulsive force.

It forcefully pushed Benboba's body away, isolating all contact, capture, and obstruction.

"Don't go! Stop for your grandpa!"

"Screw it! It even has automatic defense? No rules!"

"Just a little bit! Just a tiny bit!"

Benboba was so anxious that it fluttered wildly in the air, chattering and complaining crazily.

It constantly changed positions, intercepting from the front, blocking from the side, following and pouncing, trying every method it could think of.

The outcome was without exception: all failed.

Benboba couldn't stop it, couldn't trap it; even if it tried its best, it couldn't even touch the edge of the other party.

This pure Physical Body chase, in front of this mysteriously originated green light with its own protective Qi field, was naive and futile.

Watching the light sphere distance itself bit by bit, about to rush into the thick clouds and disappear completely, Benboba was so angry it screeched, but had no way to deal with it, and could only futilely follow behind eating dust.

On the ground, Mo Yufei saw this and stopped watching.

No matter what this thing was, it absolutely could not be allowed to escape into thin air.

His figure suddenly soared into the sky, the vast power brought by his Middle Stage Nascent Soul Physical Body spread out, and a pair of pure white wings flapped behind him.

The extreme explosive power of four times the speed of sound burst forth instantly, and the ear-piercing sonic boom tore through the sky.

A black shadow crossed the hundreds-meter battlefield in an instant, breaking through the air to chase the emerald light sphere escaping into the high altitude, instantly catching up to the light mass that even Benboba couldn't stop.

Mo Yufei raised his hand to condense strength, habitually activating the System storage space.

Since it couldn't be stopped, the only way was to use the System to store it directly; no matter how fast, how strong the protection, or how high the grade of the exotic treasure, as long as he locked onto the coordinates, it could be stored with one click; there had never been an accident.

Suddenly, the System sent a prompt, and it was a reminder he had never seen before.

[System prompt: Storage failed]

[Detected item uniqueness: Same-type Origin carrier]

[Storage failed! The target carries its own independent System barrier, cannot be forcibly recorded!]

The cold prompt tone exploded in his mind.

Mo Yufei froze in mid-air, his eyes full of extreme astonishment.

Storage failed?

To this day, he had stored Opportunity treasures several times, never missing, and such a situation had never occurred.

At this moment, huge doubt instantly enveloped his mind.

What exactly was this thing?

"It wouldn't really be what I guessed, right? A System?"

Just as his mind was shaken and he was filled with doubt.

High in the sky, the emerald light sphere that was previously recklessly rushing into the sky and escaping suddenly stopped all its movements.

The trajectory of its rapid Ascension instantly froze, the restless escaping aura completely converged, the floating green light slowly calmed down, and the warm radiance steadily enveloped its whole body.

The next second.

The green light sphere slowly turned its orientation.

It no longer fled, no longer dodged.

It just hung there in the air, parallel and facing Mo Yufei, who was standing in the air.

One person, one sphere, separated by several zhang of sky, quietly confronting each other.

The wind stopped, the clouds were still, and there was no sound.

Benboba in the rear stopped panting in the distance, its wings weak, watching this weirdly static scene, completely closing its mouth, even forgetting to complain.

Mo Yufei stared fixedly at the mysterious green light before him.

The curiosity and gravity in his heart climbed to the peak.

He only knew one thing.

This thing far exceeded any treasure he had ever seen.

It was a rule, it was an Origin, could it be Commander Shi Haidong's System?
