134: Chapter 134 The Elemental Sage's Corrupted Core!

The smoke dissipated, and the battlefield returned to silence.

Su Lin's consciousness also returned to his body from the Gray Mist Space.

The first thing that caught his eyes was Lin Weixia's small, worried face.

Her eyes were slightly red, as if she might cry at any moment: "Boss, are you okay?"

All his creations were also gathered around him.

Thunder Soul's six limbs swayed gently, emitting a low "hissing" sound, as if asking if he was injured.

Time Shadow came to his feet, emitting a soft, cute "awoo," its heterochromatic pupils filled with worry.

The Golem stood to the side, blinking its large, round eyes and emitting a low "roar-roar," its honest face even showing an expression of concern.

Su Lin watched this scene and smiled with relief, reaching out to pat Lin Weixia's head: "What could possibly happen to me?"

Hearing this, Lin Weixia wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "That's true, Boss is so powerful, that guy definitely wasn't a match for you!"

Thunder Soul also flew around excitedly, its six limbs swaying happily, emitting joyful hisses.

Time Shadow hopped around Su Lin, calling out "awoo awoo," its tail wagging like a small fan.

The Golem puffed out its chest and let out an honest "roar," as if saying "I knew Master would be fine."

The entire ruins were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

At the same time, the System's notification sound rang in Su Lin's mind.

[Ding! The host's battle in Linyuan Village has shocked all the residents of Linyuan Town, gaining +300 Reputation Points!]

[Ding! The host's battle commotion has attracted the high attention of the Qingzhou City Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, putting the entire city on highest alert, gaining +500 Reputation Points!]

[Current total Reputation Points: 979!]

Hearing this, Su Lin was slightly stunned, then a smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

He didn't expect that fighting a battle could also earn Reputation Points; this was an unexpected joy.

However, he didn't dwell too much on this joy; his gaze fell on the spot where the monster had self-destructed.

There, the dark red energy had completely dissipated.

Only a pool of twisted flesh and residue remained, emitting a nauseating aura.

Su Lin walked forward and silently thought: "System, Extract Materials."

[Extraction successful!]

[Obtained Material: Elemental Sage's Polluted Core (5-Star) — Originally a top-tier elemental mage, who believed in the primal power of "Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water," capable of locally altering elemental concentrations and even tearing through space. Due to looking directly at an indescribable existence, its elemental body was polluted, gaining the "Elemental Immortality" trait, and it was only one step away from the Dominator Level.]

Looking at the material description, a flash of realization crossed Su Lin's eyes.

So that's how it was.

This guy was actually a top-tier elemental mage.

It believed in the primal power of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, and could locally alter elemental concentrations and even tear through space.

Was that the "Word Made Law" ability from just now?

Casually saying "Frost" could condense ice out of thin air, and saying "Tear" could rip open a spatial rift.

So it wasn't some Word Made Law, but rather it directly influencing the world by manipulating elements.

It's just that its spell-casting wind-up was almost non-existent, just like Word Made Law.

Being able to achieve this level shows just how excellent an elemental mage it was.

As for that immortal body, it was because it looked directly at an indescribable existence, causing its elemental body to be polluted and gaining the "Elemental Immortality" trait.

No wonder it could quickly achieve Rebirth every time it was blasted apart, and no rule core could be found.

Because its "immortality" didn't rely on any physical object, but was an instinct directly carved into its elemental body.

As long as the surrounding elements remained, it could continuously achieve Rebirth.

It's just a pity that this guy couldn't think straight and insisted on entering his Soul space.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

Su Lin looked at that 5-star material in the System Space, his mouth curling slightly upward.

If combined with the spirit bones of those Skeleton Mages from before, plus this Elemental Sage's core, it could definitely create a very powerful magic-type creature.

He wondered what level of existence it could create?

He suppressed the anticipation in his heart, put away the material, and turned to look to the side.

Sure enough, Lin Weixia was already playing with those creations.

The Golem and Xiao Fu had already exited their enhanced states.

Their auras were a bit weaker than before, but they weren't too listless.

It seemed that although the battle just now consumed quite a bit, it was still far from their limits.

At this moment, Thunder Soul looked like the big brother leading the mischief.

It floated in front of Lin Weixia, tilted its head, and "examined" this new companion with the gray-white slit on its head, as if inspecting a new underling.

Time Shadow, Little Ghost, and Xiao Fu also gathered around.

Some were hopping, some were swaying, some were bouncing, all of them examining Lin Weixia.

This made Lin Weixia a bit embarrassed.

She stood there, a bit at a loss, and could only weakly greet them: "H-hello everyone..."

Thunder Soul seemed very happy, floating in the air, swaying, and emitting excited hissing sounds.

Time Shadow was also hopping around, calling "awoo awoo," its tail wagging rapidly.

Xiao Fu was bouncing even higher, seeming very happy.

Clearly, they were all very happy to have a new companion join.

Then, led by Thunder Soul, these little guys played even more wildly.

Thunder Soul floated onto Phantom Crystal's back first, Time Shadow followed by jumping up, and Xiao Fu bounced up.

They crowded onto Phantom Crystal's back, some sitting, some lying down, packed tightly.

Phantom Crystal didn't mind; instead, it turned its head to look at the little guys on its back and let out a gentle hiss.

Its eyes were full of doting, as if saying "Sit tight, don't fall off."

Then, Thunder Soul and the others seemed to want to invite Lin Weixia to join.

Thunder Soul waved its limbs at her, making "hissing" sounds, and Time Shadow also called out "awoo awoo" at her.

Lin Weixia waved her hand with a smile: "No, no, you guys play, I'll just watch."

Hearing this, Thunder Soul didn't force her; with a wave of its six limbs, Phantom Crystal started walking, running and jumping around the ruins.

Thunder Soul hissed excitedly, Time Shadow cheered "awoo awoo," Xiao Fu bounced along to the rhythm, and Little Ghost also floated behind, wailing.

They were very happy, as if the fierce battle just now was just a warm-up exercise.

Su Lin watched this scene, feeling very relieved.

After finishing a fight, watching these guys play around, all fatigue was gone.

He looked around; with the ancestral hall as the center, the surrounding area was almost completely reduced to ruins.

The ground was pitted, covered in gravel, and broken walls and ruins could be seen everywhere.

But it didn't matter; most of these places had already collapsed, and now they were just a bit more broken.

As for the residence, it seemed some protection had been applied, as it remained intact during this battle, not even a single tile fell off.

This saved quite a bit of trouble.

He didn't want to sleep on the streets.

Thinking this, Su Lin directly called Lin Weixia and the creations: "Alright, stop playing, it's time to go back."

Hearing this, Lin Weixia quickly trotted over.

Those creations also followed behind Su Lin, and the group walked toward the direction of the residence.

...

...

However, after Su Lin left.

In the position where the ancestral hall originally stood, a rift suddenly opened in the Void Realm.

A hand reached out from the rift, fingers spread, as if testing something.

But the next second—

"Hum!"

A gray-white light suddenly shone, directly repelling that hand back.

"Tsk, still not working?"

A hoarse voice came from the rift, carrying a bit of distress.

"Although the Seal has been broken a bit, and the guardian is dead, the rules are still there, and I still can't get out..."

The person sighed and threw a pitch-black lump out of the rift.

As soon as that thing touched the outside air, runes in the Void Realm appeared again, erupting with blinding light.

That lump didn't even have time to scream before it was directly annihilated, without even a trace left.

"As expected, it's still not enough."

The person's tone became even more distressed.

"It seems I have to wait for that guy to continue breaking it. It depends on whether this newcomer can crack that madman's plan."

He paused, as if thinking of something.

"It seems I also have to provide him with some help."

As soon as the voice fell, the rift closed directly, as if it had never existed.

The ruins of the ancestral hall returned to silence, with only the sound of wind blowing over the gravel.
