90: Chapter 90: No More Pretense, Bai Ye Reveals His Trump Card: Three Diamond Undead

The Earth-type stone statue collapsed, and the dark rock turned into dust filling the sky.

The Four Symbols Formation was missing a corner, causing the previously endless energy cycle to stall.

Lin Yuan didn't pause: "Bug King, tighten the Formation. Tyrant, go to the east."

The Tyrant rolled over the metallic ground, dark gold fluid gathering in its arms.

An Extreme Gravity Field was pushed out horizontally, smashing into the back of the Fire-type stone statue.

Chu Yunxuan's Mechanical Tyrannosaurus charged its main cannon, a ghostly blue beam tearing through the sea of fire.

The pressure on Qian Duoduo and Murong Bai, who had been struggling to hold on, suddenly eased.

The Red Dragon King bit the neck of the Fire-type stone statue, and the Purple Gold Behemoth swung its totem pole, smashing it into the statue's knee.

Having lost the infinite supply of ley line energy, the Fire-type stone statue's chest defense shattered completely under the four-sided assault.

Crack.

The Fire-type stone statue shattered.

Immediately after, the Water-type stone statue had its core pierced under the purification of Holy Light and starlight.

Finally, the Wind-type stone statue was defeated by Li Changfeng's Flying Sword Formation and Xiao Ting's Wind-Thunder power.

The hour-long fierce battle ended.

The dark red metallic ground was covered in the corpses of distorted flesh demons and the remains of familiars.

The Prodigies panted heavily, but their eyes revealed an undisguised fanaticism.

At the top of the inverted pyramid, the [Abyss Core Origin] was within reach.

As long as they destroyed it, the grand exam would be over, and the Peak glory of Tianhai Province would be theirs.

But not everyone was celebrating.

"Xiao Ting, you son of a b*tch!"

A voice cracked with rage rang out over the battlefield.

Li Changfeng stood on a Flying Sword, his hair disheveled, his white clothes stained with blood.

He pointed at Xiao Ting's nose, spit flying, no longer looking like the aloof and arrogant number one Sword Cultivator of the Immortal Cultivation Divine Realm.

"What kind of madness did your winged beasts get into! Biting my Sword Cultivator!"

"My army of one hundred thousand is down to thirty thousand! If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll peel your skin off!"

Li Changfeng's eyes were bloodshot.

The one hundred thousand Sword Cultivators were the foundation he had spent countless resources to build.

He accepted that half were killed by the Wind-type stone statue.

But to have one or two tens of thousands bitten to death from behind by an ally's Lion Dragon—how could he not break down?

Xiao Ting was equally filled with hostility, the Wind-Thunder power around him extremely unstable.

Of his million Lion Dragons, less than three hundred thousand were still standing.

"Who are you calling a beast!" Xiao Ting gritted his teeth. "If you hadn't been dawdling in front, would my Lion Dragon have dragged on until the berserk period?"

"You're trash yourself, and you dare blame me!"

"I'm trash? I'll hack you to pieces today!"

Li Changfeng pointed his fingers into a sword shape, and the remaining thirty thousand Sword Cultivators raised their Flying Swords in unison.

The Lion Dragon King under Xiao Ting's feet let out a low roar, Wind-Thunder power gathering.

The two were at daggers drawn.

The other Prodigies stood by, watching coldly, with no intention of breaking up the fight.

Qian Duoduo counted his dragons with a pained expression, his fat face twitching: "Fifty thousand pure-blood dragons, half are gone... My old man is going to kill me."

Su Yueying's six-winged angels suffered forty percent losses, and the Starlight Maiden's starlight dimmed.

Chu Yunxuan's mechanical army was nearly half scrapped.

Everyone had lost a layer of skin in this war of attrition.

Only Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan stood on the Tyrant's shoulder, the Tyrant Demon array in perfect order, with less than ten percent casualties.

The Zerg army had lost a batch while gnawing on the Formation patterns underground, but for a swarm of tens of millions in the Divine Realm, it was a drop in the bucket.

He watched Li Changfeng and Xiao Ting cursing at each other, like watching two fighting cocks.

"Alright, get out if you want to fight!" Chu Yunxuan said with a cold face. "The Core Origin is right in front, let's get the real business done first."

Li Changfeng snorted and put away his Flying Sword.

Xiao Ting also suppressed his anger.

Everyone gathered the remnants of their armies, preparing to advance toward the inverted pyramid.

Just then.

Boom!

A sound of something breaking came from the top of the inverted pyramid.

Everyone paused.

They saw the [Abyss Core Origin], locked by metal pipes, suddenly erupt with dazzling scarlet light.

This light was no longer dark red, but thick and piercing like fresh blood.

Then the inverted pyramid began to shake crazily.

The complex and eerie Abyss magic patterns on the surface seemed to come alive, turning into black chains that shattered instantly.

Boom!

The ten-thousand-meter-tall inverted pyramid disintegrated right before everyone's shocked eyes!

Countless fragments of unknown dark red metal turned into a blade storm, shooting in all directions.

"Defense!" Chu Yunxuan roared.

A deflection force field rose up.

Lin Yuan immediately had the Tyrant activate the Extreme Gravity Field, shielding the main force within it.

The metal fragment storm lasted for a full half-minute.

When the storm ceased, everyone looked up, and the whole scene was silent.

The inverted pyramid had disappeared.

A terrifying creature floating in the Void Realm came into view.

[Source Beast].

It had no fixed form, looking like a mass of rolling dark matter.

Its body was covered with eyeballs and barbs.

A pressure ten times more terrifying than the four stone statues combined descended with a bang.

Diamond Peak.

But it was completely different from those four half-baked stone statues that relied on ley line patterns to raise their Realm.

The previous four stone statues were just dead objects.

They relied on the Formation to draw ley line energy, their movements stiff, their use of Law crude; they could only be considered shells with Diamond-level destructive power.

But this Source Beast was a companion Divine Beast bred by the Abyss Core Origin.

It didn't need to borrow Law; it was the embodiment of the Abyss Law itself.

Every breath it took assimilated the surrounding space.

"F*ck!"

Qian Duoduo sat on the ground. "It's not over, is it? You just won't let us rest, will you!"

"A Diamond Peak Law Origin Beast..." Su Yueying's hand holding the cross sword trembled slightly.

This was simply not a monster that a high school student could deal with.

Even those freshman Prodigies in university would only have a chance to run away when facing a monster of this level.

The Core Origin on the Source Beast's chest flickered.

It opened its mouth made of dark matter and let out a silent roar.

Hum—

A circle of transparent ripples centered on the Source Beast swept across the field.

The first to bear the brunt was Qian Duoduo's sub-dragon legion.

The ripples swept past.

Thousands of massive sub-dragons didn't even let out a scream.

Their bodies annihilated in mid-air, dissipating into the Void Realm.

"My dragons!" Qian Duoduo's eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.

The ripples continued to spread.

The few thousand remaining Sword Cultivators of Li Changfeng had their Flying Swords shattered inch by inch, the Cultivators spat out blood in unison and fell to the ground.

Murong Bai's Behemoth giant beast bled from its seven orifices, its massive body collapsing one after another.

Chu Yunxuan's mechanical army had their core power furnaces overload and explode one after another.

Just with one roar, one-quarter of the nine-party coalition's remaining forces evaporated.

Even Lin Yuan's Titan Violent Demon had the dark gold fluid on its surface shaken to dispersion.

Many Violent Demons knelt on the ground, their bones making cracking sounds.

The gap was too big.

This was a despair that didn't even allow for the thought of resistance.

"We can't fight it."

Li Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes dim.

He unwillingly took out a teleportation talisman from his bosom.

Xiao Ting gritted his teeth, looking at the remaining one hundred thousand Lion Dragons, his hands trembling.

He also took out a talisman.

As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood.

Even if they couldn't get first place, they couldn't risk all their assets.

Chu Yunxuan, Murong Bai, Su Yueying...

Everyone's eyes revealed bitterness and unwillingness.

They had gone through great hardships, put down the pride of family disciples to form an alliance, and made it to this point.

The Core Origin was right in front of them, but there was an insurmountable mountain in the way.

Lin Yuan stood on the Tyrant's shoulder, his fingers tapping lightly on the Tyrant's shoulder, preparing to order a retreat.

"Everyone."

A somewhat hoarse voice sounded on the battlefield.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

Bai Ye, who had been hiding at the very back and surviving by scavenging and leeching off defenses, walked out from the undead army.

The slickness, sleaziness, and grinning expression on his face had now completely vanished.

He casually tore off the tattered black robe on his body, revealing a tight-fitting battle armor engraved with dark green runes.

"I'll take the first wave, you find an opportunity."

Bai Ye's voice reached everyone's ears.

Li Changfeng was stunned, Xiao Ting was stunned.

Everyone looked at him like he was a lunatic.

"Are you out of your mind?" Chu Yunxuan frowned. "That's a Diamond Peak Law Source Beast!"

"What are you going to use to take it? Those broken bone skeletons you scavenged?"

Bai Ye didn't look at them.

He looked up directly at the Source Beast floating in mid-air, two dark green Soul fires burning in his eyes.

"I've been acting like a grandson the whole way, and you really took me for a scavenger."

Bai Ye slammed his hands together, fingers interlaced, forming an undead seal.

"Void Dream Spirit, unseal."

Crack.

The space behind Bai Ye suddenly shattered like a mirror.

A pitch-black, deep Void Realm channel filled with a thick aura of death appeared on the metallic ground.

The surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing.

Steady footsteps came from deep within the Void Realm channel.

Step, step, step.

The first figure stepped out of the channel.

It was a skeleton behemoth over fifty meters tall.

Its appearance was similar to a Zhan Kuang's Behemoth, but its bones exhibited a dark gold luster, and pale white Soul fire burned in the bone joints.

It dragged a giant battle axe forged from countless vertebrae in its hand.

Diamond Initial Stage, [Undead Overlord · Skeleton Tyrant].

The second figure.

A bone dragon with a body length of at least over one hundred meters swam out of the channel.

It had no Physical Body, only crystal-clear dragon bones.

The surface of the dragon bones was engraved with curse runes, its wings spread, covering the sky and sun.

Diamond Initial Stage, [Nightmare Bone Dragon King].

The third figure.

A headless knight riding a nightmare warhorse.

He held his own head in one hand and a war lance burning with black flames in the other.

Red light shot from the eye sockets of the head.

Diamond Initial Stage, [Death Fear Knight].

Three Diamond Initial Stage undead creatures stood quietly behind Bai Ye.

They didn't radiate any pressure, but that pure Law of death managed to carve out a Domain belonging to the undead under the pressure of the Source Beast.

All of Bai Ye's armies were indeed only a few hundred Platinum-level ones.

But that was because he had piled all other resources into these three.

The wind blew across the dark red metallic ground, stirring up a burst of bone powder.

Li Changfeng's hand holding the talisman froze in mid-air, his eyes almost popping out.

Xiao Ting gasped, the muscles on his face twitching.

Qian Duoduo slapped his own thigh, grimacing in pain, confirming he wasn't dreaming.

They knew Bai Ye was hiding his strength.

Lin Yuan had been able to drag Bai Ye out before, and they had also seen that this kid was slippery.

But they never dreamed that Bai Ye could hide so deeply! So greedy!

"I screw your ancestors, Bai Ye..."

Li Changfeng gritted his teeth, his voice trembling. "You had Diamond-level trump cards, and you didn't bring them out early!"

"My Sword Cultivators died more than half, and you were there scavenging! Are you even human!"

Xiao Ting was so angry that his vision went black, his finger pointing at Bai Ye trembling non-stop: "You... you dog!"

"You watched us go to die, watched my Wind-Thunder Guards suffer backlash, just to save this bit of strength?!"

Everyone's feelings were extremely complex at this moment.

Happy, because someone could stand up to hold off the Source Beast, and there was hope for the grand exam.

Sad, because their own foundations had been almost wiped out in this war of attrition.

Angry, because the culprit of all this was this Old Six in front of them who acted pitiful, called for big shots, but hid three Diamond-level undead behind his back!
