137: Apostle promotion

Wang Le didn't believe it, and chopped at the Void-Eroding Worm again.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The blade clashed with the shield, producing a piercing metallic clang that made his tiger's mouth numb.

However, apart from causing a few ripples on the shield, there was no other effect.

The Void-Eroding Worm lazily raised its massive head and glanced at the Human Race who disturbed its rest.

Then it rolled over and continued to snore.

"Holy crap..."

Wang Le held his trembling wrist, looking dejected.

After chopping for a long time, he couldn't even break its defense, and the Void-Eroding Worm didn't even bother to acknowledge him.

This was a huge blow to him.

Li Hongyang also tried a few times, and after realizing he couldn't break its defense, he directly used "Star Shatter."

"Boom—"

With a dull thud, the shield shook violently.

Perhaps feeling threatened, the Void-Eroding Worm suddenly stood upright with its upper body and crashed towards Li Hongyang.

It didn't have any attack methods, relying purely on its massive body to crush, but Li Hongyang nimbly dodged it.

After dodging the attack, Li Hongyang immediately chugged a bottle of startling thunder brew.

He planned to use "Star Shatter" again after his spiritual power recovered.

A war of attrition thus began.

Wang Le saw this scene and was immediately inspired.

He also used "Curse of Misfortune" and started a war of attrition with the Void-Eroding Worm.

Wang Chiyao's approach was simpler; she directly summoned a large Puppet Army to gang up on the Void-Eroding Worm.

A war of attrition was her strong suit; with so many Puppets attacking in turns, they would eventually exhaust the Void-Eroding Worm's spiritual power... Seeing the others enter a war of attrition, Lin Xingyu idly pulled over a lounge chair, lay down, and started browsing the forum.

To receive the spirit net signal, he specifically disabled the "Area Isolation" ability.

Fortunately, the Formation arranged by the Gu family didn't block the spirit net signal, allowing him to successfully log into the forum.

The forum was still bustling.

Our army achieved a great victory outside Zhu Lang City, and the goblin clan retreated to the Secret Realm!

The mysterious person controlling Secret Realm No. 3699 appeared on the battlefield, leading the Treant Clan against the goblins!

Various forces gathered in Zhu Lang City, searching for traces of the mysterious person!

The Gu family was superior in skill, occupying the space stone ore vein, and various forces are currently studying countermeasures!

The Gu family is affiliated with the Star Pavilion. Could it be that the Star Pavilion wants to monopolize the second large space stone ore vein?

Goblin technology is very valuable; if it can be obtained, it will have a profound impact on the Human Race!

The Federation is currently gathering personnel, preparing to conquer the Goblin Secret Realm!

Blazing Sun Supreme failed to Breakthrough again. When will a God-rank Experts appear in our Human Race?

The Heaven Treading Alliance was established today, only accepting commoners! It's difficult to Breakthrough alone, but the Alliance can tread the heavens!

Latest battle report: The Heaven Treading Alliance broke through the blockade of various major forces and advanced towards Boulder Valley, vowing to expel all major forces from the Secret Realm!

The Wanding Chamber of Commerce airship fleet arrived in the Vast Sea City area and is heading towards Secret Realm No. 2500.

High-ranking officials of the Three-Eyed Clan and Four-Armed Clan are frequently in contact, perhaps secretly plotting against the Human Race.

...

Time passed minute by minute, and Wang Le and the others finally exhausted the Void-Eroding Worm to death.

Their luck was good this time; each Void-Eroding Worm dropped an S-rank Spirit Seed.

"Phew... We finally got it done!"

Li Hongyang didn't absorb it immediately but lay on the ground, panting heavily.

He had never felt so exhausted; repeating it over and over again had made him numb.

"Old Ape, your body isn't up to par. You need to strengthen your training!"

Wang Le walked over and patted Li Hongyang's shoulder.

Li Hongyang had been constantly engaging with the Void-Eroding Worm, but he was different.

"Curse of Misfortune" was silent and invisible; he only needed to hide in the distance and cast his skills.

One curse after another was cast, literally cursing the Void-Eroding Worm to death.

Therefore, he wasn't as tired as Li Hongyang.

Wang Chiyao was even more relaxed; she leisurely sat in a lounge chair, directing her Puppet Army to attack.

She drank sweet drinks while gesticulating at Li Hongyang, utterly at ease.

"Alright, hurry up and absorb the spirit seed!"

Lin Xingyu stretched, urging them.

He was the most bored; after browsing the forum for a long time, his back was sore.

Hearing this, everyone began to absorb the spirit seed and Breakthrough to the Fourth Rank.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's Apostle, Wang Chiyao, for advancing! The Inner World's evolution is accelerating!"

"Ding..."

...Three consecutive System prompts sounded in Lin Xingyu's mind, and three spatial rifts appeared above the Inner World again...

After the Breakthrough, the others successively teleported to the Inner World to familiarize themselves with their newly acquired abilities.

Lin Xingyu placed his hand on the ore vein, continuing to devour the space energy.

The ground vibrated violently again...

When Lin Xingyu devoured the last trace of space energy, a bottomless giant pit was left in its place.

Without the support of energy, the Formation arranged by the Gu family also dissipated.

The moment the Formation disappeared, Lin Xingyu returned to his Inner World.

At this time, the Inner World's expansion was still ongoing, with its boundaries constantly extending outwards.

Lin Xingyu came to the others' side to check their newly acquired abilities.

Li Hongyang gained an ability to increase defense.

Wang Le's damage reflection ability was strengthened.

"Trait: Damage Reflection. When attacked, reflects 100% of damage."

Damage reflection was no longer limited to physical attacks but was effective against all types of attacks.

This was very powerful; from now on, Wang Le would be a walking hedgehog.

Wang Chiyao also improved her defense, but she improved the defense of her mechs and Puppets.

Not only that, but this time she also successfully unlocked the flight ability of her mech as she wished.

"Ya-hoo—"

Wang Chiyao excitedly flew up and down in the air, occasionally letting out strange cries.

Hearing the commotion, the Dark Fiend Dragon also flew over to join the fun.

One person and one Dragon performed various stunts in the air, having a great time.

"Old Dian, dare to compete?"

Wang Chiyao swiftly flew past Wang Le, issuing a challenge.

"Chi Yao, you're cheating! If you're so capable, wait until I'm Seventh Rank..."

This scene really made Wang Le furious.

Normally, Evolvers had to reach the Seventh Rank to gain flight ability.

Wang Chiyao, with her mech, could fly freely at the Fourth Rank, which made him very envious.

Very, very envious!

"Haha, by the time you're Seventh Rank, my Puppets might even be able to fly!"

Wang Chiyao whizzed past again, leaving behind taunting laughter...

Secret Realm No. 2500, outside Boulder Valley.

The moment the spatial Formation disappeared, the various major forces immediately erupted.

"The light barrier is gone!"

"Quick! Rush in! Don't let the Gu family monopolize the ore vein!"

Everyone scrambled to rush into the valley.

However, as soon as they entered, they all froze.

"Holy crap! The Gu family is too ruthless, aren't they? They directly hollowed out the ore vein?"

"How much space stone must have been in such a big pit?"

"Did the Star Pavilion develop some new technology? How did they dig so fast?"

"Where are the Formation Masters? Quickly see if we're in an illusion Formation?"

"Damn it! I don't believe they mined it all so quickly. Let's go down and see!"

The various forces couldn't believe what they saw and rushed forward to investigate.

However, they turned the entire mine pit upside down but didn't find a single space stone.

It was cleaner than a dog's lick.
