93: Chapter 93: The Xiao family loses face, the prodigies are humbled, and the entire audience implicitly regards him as the leader.

Crack—

A crisp cracking sound echoed at the bottom of the pit.

On the surface of the abyss core source, a crack spread from Lin Yuan's fist.

Boom!

The abyss core source shattered at the sound.

Red light erupted at this instant, and extreme energy turbulence spewed outward.

In the one-thousandth of a second when this light shone.

A greed that ordinary people could not detect flashed in the depths of Lin Yuan's eyes.

Breaking it is one thing.

Working for free is definitely not his style.

"Tyrant, eat it up." Lin Yuan issued a death order in his mind.

Tyrant, whose bones had already cracked and was on the verge of collapse, erupted with its final potential.

Dark golden liquid spread out, turning into an invisible net, wrapping around the three largest pieces of the abyss core source that were closest.

The Shadow Lurker Law was activated at full power.

The three fragments, emitting terrifying abyss pressure, disappeared on a physical level.

They were forcibly dragged into the shadow by Tyrant, and along the Divine Domain channel Lin Yuan opened, smashed into the deepest part of the Wasteland Divine Domain.

The whole process happened in a flash of lightning.

The Prodigies on the periphery, fighting desperately to hold on, only saw the red light erupt and had no time to pay attention to the specific details of the abyss core source shattering.

The red light soared into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds of this broken Demon God Planet.

Losing the support of the abyss core source, the Diamond Rank Peak Source Beast let out a mournful cry.

Its dark matter body, which covered the sky and sun, began to collapse from the edges.

Turning into ashes that filled the sky, drifting down.

The shockwave also arrived at this time.

Lin Yuan bore the brunt of it, and his whole person, along with Tyrant, was blown away by this huge force.

He tumbled in mid-air, blood overflowing from his mouth and nose.

He slammed heavily into a metal rock wall hundreds of meters away, creating a dent, and then slid to the ground.

In the sky, the Demon Vulture and Bone Blade Bat, which were originally circling and waiting, ignored the remaining Law turbulence.

They dived down frantically, trying to protect Lin Yuan with their bodies.

"Lin Yuan!"

Bai Ye was the first to rush over; the undead army behind him was already nine-tenths gone, hanging on by a single breath.

Chu Yunxuan, Li Changfeng, Zhan Kuang, and others followed closely.

Su Yueying forced her overdrawn body, her six wings of light dim and lusterless.

She stumbled to Lin Yuan's side, her hands clasped together.

Pressing the last bit of Holy Light divine art onto Lin Yuan's chest, stabilizing the rampaging energy in his body.

Lin Yuan leaned against the rock wall, coughed up a mouthful of dark red stagnant blood, and opened his eyes.

"I won't die." Lin Yuan's voice was hoarse as he looked at the crowd gathering around.

Hearing these three words, everyone's tense nerves finally snapped.

Bai Ye plopped down on the ground, lying sprawled out, panting heavily.

Li Changfeng casually threw away the Flying Sword covered in cracks and slid down, leaning against a piece of rubble.

Chu Yunxuan tore open his tattered collar, and Qian Duoduo held a pile of empty magic scroll cylinders, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Zhan Kuang lay sprawled on the wreckage of the mecha.

It's all over.

After a few seconds of rest.

Bai Ye suddenly laughed at the top of his lungs.

The laughter was highly contagious.

Li Changfeng laughed, Chu Yunxuan laughed.

Even the usually dignified Su Yueying covered her mouth and let out a light laugh.

They looked at the bottom of the pit that had turned into ruins, looking at each other's disheveled and blood-stained appearances.

They laughed unscrupulously, laughed until their hearts were torn.

There was no intrigue, no profit calculations between the great families, and certainly no kicking someone when they were down.

After experiencing this life-and-death battle in the true sense, this group of Prodigies, who usually looked down on everyone,

for the first time experienced the exhilaration of entrusting their backs to their comrades, fighting side by side, and living towards death.

They acknowledged Lin Yuan.

Not only because of Lin Yuan's terrifying combat power, but also because at the last moment, Lin Yuan dared to throw that punch with the courage of a desperate situation.

Of course, everyone present deliberately ignored someone who was swept into the corner, life or death unknown.

That scum named Xiao Ting did not deserve to share this victory with them.

Just then, a mechanical synthesized voice echoed over the entire Demon God Planet.

[Warning: The abyss core source has been destroyed.]

[Grand Exam termination conditions met.]

[Full-band space lock released, Starry Sky Matrix is connecting.]

[All surviving candidates, prepare for forced teleportation return.]

...

Demon Suppression Fortress.

All the big shots with eyes and hands reaching the sky maintained their posture from the previous second.

On the screen, the Source Beast vanished into ashes, and the group of scarred young people sat on the ground, laughing loudly.

A chaebol chairman's wine glass tilted, red wine spilled on his trouser legs, but he was completely unaware.

The Elder of the Li Family widened his eyes, his lips trembling slightly.

The Grand Elder of the Bai Family even forgot to breathe, his old eyes staring fixedly at his grandson sprawled on the screen, his eye sockets turning red.

Won.

A group of high school students, at most Platinum Rank, forcibly crossed several major Realms.

Bearing the Law suppression of a Diamond Peak Source Beast, they hammered the Demon God's core to pieces.

This is a miracle that has never happened since the establishment of the Grand Exam system in Tianhai Province.

"Good!"

A thunderous voice broke this moment.

Commander Xiao Lie stood up directly, grabbed the strong liquor on the table, and gulped down a large mouthful.

"Good lad! Well done!"

Commander Xiao Lie's laughter sounded like a great bell, making the glass of the viewing room buzz.

He unreservedly vented his inner ecstasy.

These aristocratic big shots looked at Commander Xiao Lie who suddenly stood up, and then looked at each other and Patriarch Xiao Tiannan.

They all knew that in this Grand Exam, Commander Xiao Lie had won.

Facts speak louder than words.

It is a fact that the nine-family coalition army was unilaterally slaughtered by Lin Yuan, and it is also a fact that Lin Yuan hammered the final decision at the last moment.

What made them even more shocked was that their own direct descendants, who usually looked down on everyone,

were actually all surrounding that commoner, vaguely regarding him as their leader.

The monopoly of the aristocratic families had been torn open.

Accompanied by a flash of blue light.

The teleportation beam pierced through the fortress.

The screen flashed.

On the central square of the Demon Suppression Fortress, dense figures appeared out of thin air.

Of the original 300,000 high-spirited candidates, less than half remained standing on the square.

The other half either crushed their teleportation talismans to exit early and were assigned to logistics,

or remained forever under that dark red frozen soil.

The thick smell of blood and burnt odor almost enveloped the entire square.

Lin Yuan stood firm, surrounded by a group of Prodigies.

Above the high platform, the sound of military boots stepping on the metal floor rang out.

Deputy Commander Chen Tie of the war zone walked down from the high platform in person.

This military big shot, known for his iron-blooded nature, looked at the group of students below who were disheveled but whose eyes had undergone a transformation.

Deputy Commander Chen Tie did not give a long speech, nor did he use official jargon.

He stopped, his body standing straight, and raised his right hand.

He gave a standard and solemn military salute to all the survivors on the square.

Inside the fortress, all the fully armed military soldiers raised their hands in a salute at the same time.

The sound of armor plates colliding was uniform and shook the sky and the earth.

This is recognition for the strong and respect for the living.

The aristocratic big shots also walked down from the viewing platform one after another and came to the edge of the square.

Their eyes were extremely complex, with pride, heartache, and worry about future changes in the pattern.

In the crowd, only one person's expression was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

Patriarch of the number one aristocratic family in Tianhai Province, Patriarch Xiao Tiannan.

He stood in place, his eyes crossing the crowd, staring at Xiao Ting, who was lying on a stretcher, being urgently rescued by the accompanying military doctor.

Xiao Ting's chest had collapsed, the bones of half his body were shattered, and he was breathing more than he was taking in.

If it weren't for the high-level life-saving Divine Artifact given by the Xiao Family on him, the Source Beast's tail would have long ago whipped him into a puddle of meat mud.

Trash.

Not only did he fail to shatter the abyss core source, but because he could not control his dependents, he triggered a backlash and became the laughingstock of everyone in Tianhai Province.

Patriarch Xiao Tiannan did not take a step forward to check on Xiao Ting's injuries.

He could not afford to lose face like this.

True God Rank Law fluctuations surged obscurely around Patriarch Xiao Tiannan.

No space channel manifested, no Law chanting occurred.

Patriarch Xiao Tiannan just glanced coldly at the direction where Lin Yuan was, and waved his hand.

The stretcher in the distance, along with the dying Xiao Ting, and Patriarch Xiao Tiannan's own figure,

disappeared in place amidst a ripple in space.

Clean and decisive, without saying a word.

The Elder of the Li Family at the edge of the square sneered: "Running away quite fast, the Xiao Family has really lost face to the outer domains this time."

In the center of the crowd.

Lin Yuan did not care about Xiao Ting's departure.

He stood straight, ostensibly accepting Deputy Commander Chen Tie's military salute.

But in reality, his consciousness had completely sunk into his own Divine Domain.

Deep in the Divine Domain, beside the newly snatched companion Demon God Altar.

Three pieces of the abyss core source were quietly floating in mid-air.

On Lin Yuan's Divine Domain panel.

[High-level divine substance residue detected.]

[Target judgment: Abyss lower Demon God core fragment.]

Lin Yuan's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

He wanted the Divinity fragment reward given by the military.

But he also wanted to devour this abyss plane core source completely.

The real transformation had only just begun.
