91: Chapter 91: All-out attack, Lin Yuan targets the core source!
Demon Suppression Fortress.
A second ago, the big shots were still gasping at the collapse of the four Diamond-tier statues.
The next second, their gazes were all focused on the black-haired youth standing on the monster's shoulder on the screen.
Everyone present was a powerful figure in Tianhai Province with far-reaching connections and sharp eyes.
The four-party coalition was able to break the deadlock, seemingly because the Prodigies from all sides worked together.
But the core turning point was entirely because Lin Yuan was the first to shatter the Earth-type statue.
Without this prerequisite, the Prodigies from the other sides would have eventually been exhausted to death by the statues, which possessed infinite regenerative capabilities.
"Commander Xiao, the Spark Legion has really struck gold this time." A chairman of a second-tier conglomerate walked toward Commander Xiao Lie with a wine glass in hand, beaming.
"Lin Yuan's grasp of the battlefield and his keen sense for the weaknesses of the Law are simply that of a born commander."
"The mutant army under his command has ridiculously high execution. Commander Xiao has cultivated him well; the military of Tianhai Province has a worthy successor."
"Indeed." A clan head nearby nodded in agreement. "In that desperate situation just now, an ordinary Prodigy would have lost their composure long ago."
"Yet Lin Yuan was able to remain calm and strike with lethal precision."
"With this kind of Heart-Nature, the military will surely be able to shine brightly on the Abyss Defense Line."
The big shots chatted back and forth, beginning to flatter Commander Xiao Lie.
While marveling at the terrifying dominance Lin Yuan displayed, they were also looking for opportunities to curry favor with the military.
Commander Xiao Lie leaned back on the sofa, toying with his wine glass.
He didn't say much, but a faint smile remained on his Face throughout.
Amidst this flattery, Patriarch Xiao Tiannan, who was sitting in the main seat, had an expression so gloomy that frost could be scraped off it.
He had come here originally to see Commander Xiao Lie make a fool of himself.
To see how the commoner, on whom Commander Xiao Lie had poured resources, would be trampled underfoot by the foundation of the Tianhai Province clans.
But what was the result?
On the big screen, Xiao Ting's performance could only be described as a disaster.
When encountering the high-pressure environment of the Wind-type statue, the Lion Dragon army actually fell into a frenzy, breaking free from Xiao Ting's Mental Energy control and turning around to tear into their allies!
This is a great taboo for a deity!
If you can't even perfectly control your own dependents, what kind of bullshit Prodigy are you?
Patriarch Xiao Tiannan could feel the gazes sweeping over him from time to time, filled with mockery and ridicule.
"Patriarch Xiao." An Elder of the Li family snorted coldly. "The Xiao Family has been in the limelight in recent years with deep foundations."
"It's just that your methods of cultivating the younger generation seem to have put the cart before the horse."
"You can't even control your own life-bound dependents, and it even triggered a backlash."
"With this kind of Heart-Nature and control, whether he can condense a Godhead and step into the realm of a True God in the future is probably an unknown."
The Li family Elder's words were merciless.
Because of Xiao Ting's mistake, the assets of his family's junior, Li Changfeng, had been wiped out by half; he didn't need to save any Face for Patriarch Xiao Tiannan.
Veins bulged on the back of Patriarch Xiao Tiannan's hand, but he forcibly suppressed his anger.
He was in the wrong.
Half of the one hundred thousand Sword Cultivators were dead or injured; anyone would be furious.
"Elder Li, please calm your anger. This matter... Ting'er indeed failed to exercise proper oversight." Patriarch Xiao Tiannan gritted his teeth, his voice dry.
He felt like he had lost all his Face.
A direct descendant of the number one clan in Tianhai, yet his performance was not even as good as a commoner.
If Xiao Ting could not solve this problem in the future, his path to godhood would definitely be ruined.
Just as everyone in the viewing room had different thoughts, the scene on the big screen changed suddenly.
The inverted pyramid disintegrated, and a Peak Diamond-tier Source Beast descended.
The big shots, who had just been preparing to pop champagne in celebration, all fell silent.
"It's over." A conglomerate director sighed. "A Peak Diamond-tier Law Source Beast—this is absolutely not a battle a high school student can fight."
"This difficulty is too ridiculous! Deputy Commander Chen Tie, did you guys in the military set the readings wrong?!"
Just when everyone thought this group of Prodigies could only crush their amulets to flee for their lives—
On the screen, Bai Ye, who had been scavenging all the way, tore off his disguise and summoned three Diamond-tier initial-stage undead creatures.
The entire viewing room fell silent because of this.
"Holy shit!"
It was unknown who couldn't help but let out a curse.
The Grand Elder of the Bai family, who had been feeling stifled the entire time, suddenly jumped up from his chair, his Face flushed, and his beard trembling.
"Hahaha! Good! Good lad!" The Bai family Elder pointed at the screen, his voice loud enough for the entire hall to hear.
"Did you see that! This is the Qilin child of my Bai family! Usually, he doesn't show his true colors, but at the critical moment, he turns the tide!"
"What is called foundation? This is called foundation!"
Several clan heads nearby were so angry that their teeth itched.
"Old Ghost Bai, stop being shameless here!" The head of the Wind-type clan pointed at his nose and cursed.
"Your kid has been hiding in the back the whole time, using our dependents as cannon fodder, and even taking the opportunity to loot corpses! Does he have any clan etiquette left?"
"Exactly! It's simply shameless to the extreme!"
Facing everyone's condemnation, the Bai family Elder snorted coldly, his skin as thick as a city wall. "Don't you know that all is fair in war? My grandson calls this tactical reservation!"
"If he hadn't stayed low until now, those little bastards of yours would have long since been trampled into meat paste by the Source Beast!"
"If you have the ability, you go bring out three Diamond-tier dependents!"
Everyone was choked speechless.
...
Demon God Planet, at the bottom of the core pit.
A sinister wind howled, and the gray aura of the Law of Death collided with the Source Beast's Dark Matter Domain.
Bai Ye turned his head to look at the stunned Prodigies, chuckled, rubbed his hands, and shamelessly found an excuse:
"Uh, well... the wind-up for this kind of high-level summoning spell is too long, and the chanting takes a bit of time. Everyone, please understand, please understand."
Li Changfeng was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chanting my ass! This grandson clearly just wanted to watch them exhaust their trump cards!
"Roar——!"
The Source Beast in mid-air did not give them too much time to react.
The Core Origin in the Source Beast's chest erupted with red light, and the surrounding space collapsed directly.
[Law of Matter Annihilation] enveloped the three undead below.
"Go!"
Bai Ye put away his smile, his eyes widening.
The Diamond-tier initial-stage [Undead Monarch · Skeleton Tyrant] moved.
The fifty-meter-tall skeleton was not the least bit clumsy; it dragged its giant battle axe and leaped high into the air.
The moment the battle axe slashed out, the Law of Death condensed into substance on the axe blade, carving a vacuum channel through the Source Beast's Annihilation Domain.
The thousands of eyeballs on the surface of the Source Beast's body rotated simultaneously, locking onto the Skeleton Tyrant.
"Sss!"
Thousands of rays converged into a beam of light, slamming into the Skeleton Tyrant's chest.
The collision of Diamond-tier Laws had no flashy explosions, only the most essential dissolution.
More than half of the Skeleton Tyrant's dark golden ribs vaporized, and its body slammed into the ground, creating a crater hundreds of meters deep.
At the same time, the [Nightmare Bone Dragon King] flapped its wings, breaking into the space above the Source Beast.
The curse runes carved all over the dragon bones lit up in unison.
It opened its bone jaw, and a breath of [Calamity Dragon Breath] spewed out.
This breath held no temperature, yet it could strip away a creature's life Origin.
The Source Beast let out a silent shriek.
The Dark Matter behind it churned, turning into a black giant hand hundreds of meters large, grabbing the Bone Dragon King by the neck.
"Crack!"
The Diamond-tier initial-stage Bone Dragon King's skeleton on one side of its body was covered in cracks in an instant.
"Hold on!"
Bai Ye shouted.
He formed hand seals, and among the undead army behind him, tens of thousands of Gold-tier skeletons and ghouls exploded one after another.
There was no flying flesh and blood, only the purest Death Qi.
This Death Qi turned into a gray torrent, rushing into the sky and pouring into the bodies of the Skeleton Tyrant and the Bone Dragon King.
Visibly, the Skeleton Tyrant's vaporized ribs regrew, and the Bone Dragon King's shattered neck bones healed rapidly.
The [Death Terror Knight] took advantage of this gap, riding its nightmare warhorse and walking through the air.
The lance burning with black flames turned into a bolt of black lightning, piercing into one of the Source Beast's main eyes.
The black flames spread along the eyeball, beginning to scorch the Source Beast's Dark Matter body.
The Source Beast felt pain, and its Law Domain showed a slight, weak disturbance.
"What are you still standing there for! I can't hold on for long!" Bai Ye turned his head and roared at the other Prodigies watching the show below, his voice tearing at his throat.
Everyone woke up as if from a dream.
The Source Beast's attention was completely drawn by the three Diamond-tier undead; this was their chance.
"Form up! Attack its left flank!" Li Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the remaining thirty thousand Sword Cultivators rose into the air in unison.
Silver Sword Qi converged into a Sword Dragon several thousand meters long.
Xiao Ting gritted his teeth, forcibly driving the Wind-Thunder Law, preparing to command the remaining Lion Dragon herd to flank from the right.
"Get the hell out of the way!"
Li Changfeng turned his head abruptly, staring at Xiao Ting with fierce eyes.
"Control your dogs! Don't get in the way here. If you let them go crazy and bite people again, I'll chop you with my sword first!"
Xiao Ting stiffened, his Face flushed red.
He was a Genius of the dignified Xiao Family; when had he ever been pointed at and told to get lost in public like this?
He subconsciously wanted to retort, but he heard the Lion Dragon herd behind him emitting restless, uneasy low roars again.
Xiao Ting clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms, blood dripping down.
He was unable to refute.
"Retreat." Xiao Ting squeezed two words out through his teeth, retreating to the edge of the battlefield with the remaining Lion Dragons.
He released his Mental Energy with all his might, suppressing these beasts that could go berserk at any moment.
"Tyrant."
Lin Yuan's voice rang out across the chaotic battlefield.
The Tyrant rose slowly from the shadow at his feet.
Facing the world-destroying Diamond-tier pressure above, this monster, which was only a six-star Platinum-tier, was always able to maintain high Battle Intent.
"Extreme, Shadow." Lin Yuan issued the command.
The Tyrant blurred in an instant.
The Source Beast's Dark Matter tentacles whipped the surrounding space, attempting to seal off all blind spots.
But the Tyrant's figure seemed not to exist in this dimension; it shuttled at high speed through the gaps in the shadows left by the flailing tentacles.
A second later, the Tyrant appeared beneath the Source Beast's abdomen, where its defense was weakest.
Deactivating virtualization.
Dark gold fluid compressed on the Tyrant's right arm, and the Extreme Gravity Field was focused on the fist.
"Boom!"
The Tyrant punched the Source Beast's Dark Matter shell.
Gravity collapse!
The space in the Source Beast's abdomen caved inward, and the Dark Matter shell made two clicking sounds.
This strike, although it did not break the Diamond-tier defense, interrupted the next large-scale Annihilation Ray the Source Beast was preparing to release.
"Well done!" Chu Yunxuan shouted. "All main cannons, lock onto the gap Lin Yuan created, fire!"
All mechanical beasts opened their cannons simultaneously, and plasma beams converged into a torrent of destruction, firing in unison at the indentation the Tyrant had smashed out.
Qian Duoduo's Dragon herd breathed Dragon Breath, and Su Yueying's Holy Light giant sword descended from the sky...
Lin Yuan was not idle either.
The Titan Violent Demon raised its heavy shield, blocking the overflowing Law aftermath from the Source Beast.
The Shadow Abyssal Demon shuttled through the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to cut through the defensive layer on the Source Beast's body.
The Calamity Elemental Spirit Lords released freezing toxic fire without any hesitation.
Three thousand Platinum-tier Tyrant Demons rushed directly to the front line, cooperating with the three Diamond-tier undead to surround and kill the Source Beast.
The battle was brutal to the extreme.
The dependents of the Prodigies fell in droves amidst the Law aftermath occasionally leaking from the Source Beast.
But the most miserable one was still Bai Ye, who was main-tanking the front.
His undead army was dwindling at a rate of thousands per second.
All the undead were being forcibly sacrificed by him, turning into Death Qi to fill the injuries of the three Diamond-tier undead.
"Hold the line for me!"
Bai Ye was bleeding from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
His Mental Energy had been overdrawn to the limit, but he did not retreat.
Under the infection of his bloodlust, the Prodigies who had originally intended to retreat all had their eyes bloodshot from killing, and not a single person took a step back.
"Bang."
Bai Ye's legs went soft, and he collapsed onto the dark red metal ground.
Just as his Face was about to hit the ground, a strong hand grabbed his collar and hoisted him up.
Lin Yuan held Bai Ye with one hand, staring at the Source Beast in mid-air.
"Can you still breathe?" Lin Yuan's voice remained steady.
"Cough... can't die yet..." Bai Ye spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his eyes unfocused.
Yet he still stubbornly maintained the Mental Energy link with the Undead Monarch.
"Then keep your eyes open and watch."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, pointing at the sky.
Under the unlimited firepower of everyone sparing no cost, and the desperate entanglement of the three Diamond-tier undead.
The Source Beast let out a mournful cry.
The shell on its chest finally could not withstand the continuous energy counter-surges and shattered with a bang.
A red light burst out from the crack.
The main body of the [Core Origin] was exposed to everyone's sight.
The final goal of the grand examination was close at hand.
