42: Sensing the aura of the core of the secret realm

Just then, a sudden anomaly occurred ahead.

When Xia Fei's mental state became unstable, his and Bai Muqing's energies mysteriously merged.

What followed was a violent explosion!

"Boom—"

Terrifying energy swept across the entire battlefield, and both of them fell into a coma.

"Do they have to go this far? How much hatred must there be?"

Lin Xingyu brushed the dust off himself and looked at the large crater.

He looked around and found that Wang Ledian and the others were unharmed.

"Old Dian, you two go and crush Xia Fei and the others' trial stones, and don't forget to strip them of their gear!"

Xia Fei and the other person were lying there, and their injuries would continue to worsen, so it was better to teleport them out of the Secret Realm.

Of course, the reward was the points and equipment on them.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ledian's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards Bai Muqing impatiently.

But he was kicked away by Wang Chiyao.

"You go to Xia Fei's side, I'll handle Bai Muqing's side!"

Wang Chiyao looked disdainful; this guy was trying to stir up trouble again!

Seeing Wang Chiyao's obstruction, Wang Ledian could only reluctantly run towards Xia Fei.

Lin Xingyu and Li Hongyang continued to harvest the remaining trial takers... Just as Lin Xingyu was slaughtering everyone,

In a dense forest not far away,

The World Purifying Society's people had already finished setting up their Formation.

Wang Ye took out a peculiar device from hisHuai and placed it in the center of the Spirit Formation.

This was sent by the Three-Eyed God Clan; it was said to be quite precious.

He lightly pressed it, and the entire Spirit Formation began to operate.

Black energy began to condense in the center of the Spirit Formation, and as soon as it appeared, it formed a vortex.

The vortex spun rapidly, frantically absorbing the surrounding energy, and even thebroken stone and trees on the ground were sucked into it.

"Boss, Formation Plate number 3 seems a bit unstable..."

A subordinate came to Wang Ye's side and said cautiously.

Wang Ye frowned, a hint of impatience in his tone:

"Formation Plate number 3 was bought by Tan Lang from the Dark Ruins at a great price; there shouldn't be any problems."

"Alright, just activate it, this process is irreversible."

"Once the secret realm core appears, it will react with dark energy, causing a violent explosion, and the entire Secret Realm will be destroyed by then!"

"Stop dawdling, retreat quickly!"

After speaking, he led his subordinates to retreat quickly, leaving the vortex to spin wildly in place... At this moment, two larks were watching the show from a tree branch not far away.

One of them pointed at Formation Plate number 3 and said,

"Old Man Zhou, is this Formation Plate you made any good? It's already cracked!"

"Shut up!" The other lark flapped its wings, "This is an S-grade Formation Plate I instantly killed for in the Dark Ruins, absolutely no problem!"

"Alright, let's retreat too! This Puppet cost me a lot of money, don't let it get destroyed here!"

"You're too stingy, it's so embarrassing to be your partner!"

"Give it a rest, I don't even mind you shedding feathers..."

A flash of light, and the two larks disappeared from where they were, as if they had never appeared... On the other side, Lin Xingyu and the others had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

With their combined efforts, none of these Evolvers escaped; all of them were eliminated.

After this battle, they firmly occupied the top four spots on the leaderboard.

Because the mecha was suitable for group battles, Wang Chiyao's points had already surpassed Wang Ledian's, placing her second on the leaderboard.

However, Wang Ledian didn't care about these; he was staring at the spoils of war with gleaming eyes.

"Brother Yu, we're rich!"

They obtained a total of 2 D-grade spirit gear, 3 E-grade spirit gear, and 13 F-grade spirit gear.

The rest were all ordinary equipment.

The students participating in the trial were all newly Awakened rookies, and most of them used ordinary equipment.

Most of these spirit gear were contributed by Xia Fei and the others.

The spoils of war were distributed as needed; what could be used was kept, and what couldn't be used would be sold after they left.

Lin Xingyu and the others came to the foot of the Jade Spring Tree, took out the tree core, which was the biggest gain of this trip.

The tree core was crystal clear, emitting a unique fragrance.

Lin Xingyu divided the tree core into four parts and gave them to the others.

This tree core could be eaten directly, and the others, upon receiving it, eagerly began to eat it.

Lin Xingyu also put the tree core into his mouth; it was crisp to the taste, with no other flavor.

A warm energy flowed through his Inner World; he felt warm all over, an indescribable comfort.

Wang Ledian and the others were even more exclamatory.

After the tree core was eaten.

Wang Chiyao took out a small knife, gestured on her arm for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and cut Wang Ledian's arm.

"Chi Yao, what are you doing?!"

In pain, Wang Ledian jumped high.

Wang Chiyao ignored him and kept staring at the wound.

The cut wound quickly healed, disappearing in a moment.

"It really can repair! No need to buy healing potions anymore!"

The Little Loli nodded excitedly, pondered for a moment, and whispered,

"It's said that it can even Rebirth severed limbs, but I wonder if it's true?"

...Just then, the System prompt suddenly sounded in Lin Xingyu's mind.

"Ding! The System has detected dark energy nearby, it is recommended that the host go and devour it!"

At the same time, a virtual arrow appeared before his eyes, pointing in one direction.

"Here it comes again!!!"

Lin Xingyu's face lit up with joy.

This was exactly the same as when the "nirvana stone" appeared last time.

"I'm going to the bathroom!"

He shouted and ran out.

"Brother Xingyu, why are you running? I won't do anything to you!"

Seeing Lin Xingyu's strong reaction, the Little Loli stomped her foot, a little angry.

When she turned her gaze to the others, she found that they had already run away without a trace.

"Hmph! A bunch of cowards..."

Following the System's guidance, Lin Xingyu arrived in a dense forest.

He saw a huge Spirit Formation ahead, with a black vortex in its center, devouring everything around it.

"Is this a black hole?"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for discovering dark energy. Do you wish to devour it?"

"Yes"

Having had the experience from last time, Lin Xingyu replied without hesitation.

As soon as his voice fell, the World Tree in his Inner World extended its long roots.

The roots directly crossed space and made contact with the black vortex.

The vortex's suction suddenly stopped.

Immediately after, the black vortex quickly disappeared, devoured by the World Tree.

Before Lin Xingyu could check the changes in his Inner World, another System prompt sounded.

"Ding! The System has captured the aura of the secret realm core. Do you wish to track it?"

"secret realm core??"

"Holy crap..."

"Track it! Track it!"

Lin Xingyu was ecstatic.

The name of the secret realm core was widely known.

Refining the secret realm core would grant control over the entire Secret Realm.

This was absolutely a top-tier treasure, beyond top-tier!!

As soon as his voice fell, a virtual arrow once again appeared before Lin Xingyu, pointing in a certain direction.

Without further delay, he immediately rushed in that direction.

However, just as he left, a figure suddenly blocked his path.

"Kid! Hand over the treasure!"
