The figure in black raised his hand, and a black shield materialized instantly, blocking Zhao Yunfei's attack. The shield shattered into countless black specks that dissipated into the air, yet the figure remained unmoved.
"Hmph, truly a bunch of rabble!" one of the black-clad men sneered, his voice raspy like metal scraping against metal. He swung his long knife, sending a cold gleam slicing toward Zhao Yunfei.
Zhao Yunfei sidestepped just in time to avoid the strike, simultaneously forming seals with his hands as waves of energy poured out like a torrential rain. However, these black-clad individuals were evidently well-trained and coordinated; they skillfully deflected his attacks and even seized opportunities to counterattack. Although the alliance had the numerical advantage, they clearly fell short in terms of teamwork and ruthlessness.

**Lin Yuan Takes Action, Devouring with Might**
Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a swordsman from the Obsidian Empire suddenly charged in from the flank. His swordplay was strange and venomous, with visible black sword energy coiling around his blade like a venomous snake targeting an alliance member. The member had no time to evade and was about to be struck by the sword energy.
"Get back!" Lin Yuan shouted sharply, his form darting forward like lightning to position himself before the swordsman. He didn't employ any flashy techniques; instead, at the moment the sword energy was about to hit, he thrust out his right hand, palm facing the oncoming black energy.
"Zshhh!"
An unexpected scene unfolded! The fierce black sword energy seemed to be drawn by some invisible force and was instantly devoured by Lin Yuan's palm! As the energy entered his body, Lin Yuan felt a cold and violent power raging through his meridians. However, immediately after, his Golden Finger ability "Cell Devouring Evolution" activated, breaking down, absorbing, and analyzing this power.
The swordsman was taken aback; he clearly hadn't anticipated that someone could swallow his sword energy barehanded. Before he could react further, Lin Yuan's left hand shot out like lightning and grasped the swordsman's shoulder.
"Decompose now, little darling," Lin Yuan grinned widely. To the swordsman, that smile appeared more terrifying than any demon.
A torrent of devouring power erupted from Lin Yuan's palm. The swordsman felt as if every cell in his body was being stripped away. He desperately tried to struggle but found all his strength drained away. In an instant, he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, his long sword clattering down beside him.
"What... what kind of ability is this?" Zhao Yunfei exclaimed in shock, disbelief filling his eyes. The others were equally stunned into silence; they had never witnessed such an eerie yet powerful ability!
Lin Yuan flexed his wrist, feeling the newly acquired Lingqi infused with sword energy within him. A satisfied smile crept across his face. This "Cell Devouring Evolution" truly was an essential Golden Finger for home use, travel, and even for killing and plundering!
“Enough!”
A low voice filled with anger echoed from deep within the valley. An elderly man dressed in a black robe and wearing a Taoist crown stepped forward slowly. His expression was grim, and with a flick of his wrist, a vast surge of spiritual energy instantly spread out like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily upon the members of the alliance.
“Hiss—”
Everyone present felt their breath catch, as if a thousand-pound weight had been placed upon them, making their movements sluggish. Zhou Haoran's face turned pale; the "Spiritual Energy Fluctuation Analyzer" in his hand emitted a piercing alarm, and the data on the screen cascaded down like a waterfall.
“This is Spiritual Pressure! He... he is at least at the peak of Lingjing Awakening!” Zhou Haoran managed to speak through gritted teeth, sweat trickling down his forehead.
The black-robed Taoist sneered, “A bunch of ants daring to trespass on my Obsidian Empire's territory? Today, let me show you what true power is!” He flicked his fingers, and several strands of spiritual energy shot toward the alliance members like venomous snakes, hissing as they sliced through the air.
The members of the alliance turned pale; they tried to dodge but found their bodies weighed down as if filled with lead, unable to move. Just as the strands of spiritual energy were about to strike, Zhou Haoran gritted his teeth and pulled out a metal plate from his backpack, pressing it forcefully toward the direction of the Taoist.
“Buzz!”
The metal plate emitted a faint hum, and an invisible wave spread out instantly. This was a makeshift "Lingqi Interference Device" he had hurriedly crafted, hoping it would have some effect. However, the strands of spiritual energy merely hesitated for a moment before continuing their relentless trajectory toward their target.
Cold sweat beaded on Zhou Haoran's forehead; he realized that his scientific instrument seemed utterly powerless in the face of such overwhelming strength.
“Lingqi, return to me!” Lin Yuan shouted fiercely as he suddenly spread his arms wide. The Lingqi within him surged forth like a tidal wave, colliding violently with the Taoist's Lingqi. However, unlike before, this time Lin Yuan's Lingqi was no longer a passive defense or absorption; it carried a powerful force of "counter-control."
The Taoist felt an unprecedented pull emanating from Lin Yuan, as if the Lingqi within him was a wild horse breaking free, uncontrollably rushing towards Lin Yuan. His eyes widened in terror as he attempted to sever the connection, only to find it utterly impossible.
“This... this is impossible!” the Taoist screamed, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yuan perfectly combined his scientific analytical abilities with the Taoist's Lingqi manipulation skills. Invisible chains formed from Lingqi materialized out of thin air, instantly binding the Taoist tightly!
“Bang!”
The Taoist was slammed to the ground by the Lingqi chains, kicking up a cloud of dust. He struggled, but those chains tightened like maggots on bone, completely disrupting the Lingqi within him.
“Crush them!” Zhao Yunfei shouted excitedly upon witnessing this. His energy surged like a torrential storm towards the remnants of the Obsidian Empire. The morale of the alliance members soared as they rallied together, surrounding the black-clad figures that Lin Yuan had heavily wounded. In the end, the Obsidian Empire's Secret Base was utterly destroyed.

**The Aftermath of Battle: Paying the Price**
The valley fell silent once more, but within that silence lingered a sense of tragic grandeur. Although the alliance had achieved victory, it came at a significant cost. Several alliance members lay in pools of blood, their breaths faint as Zhou Haoran anxiously administered emergency treatment. Two members had already lost all signs of life.
