Lin Yuan looked at the cultivators he had just "subdued," feeling little stir within. He knew this was only the beginning. The words "Obsidian Empire" and "Psycho Warrior" burned in his mind like a hot iron, repeatedly imprinting themselves.

**The Alliance Gathers, A First Exploration of the Valley**
Three days later, outside the Jiangnan District, in a valley surrounded by lush forests, the air was filled with the refreshing scent of earth and greenery. Lin Yuan walked at the forefront, followed by a large group of members from the Scientific Cultivation Alliance. Among them were those he had previously "educated," as well as newcomers drawn by the live stream. At this moment, everyone wore expressions of nervous excitement, resembling a group of college students ready for an outing yet prepared for a brawl at any moment.
"Professor Zhou, is your portable Lingqi detector reliable?" Lin Yuan casually asked, instinctively stroking his chin. To Zhou Haoran, this gesture felt like mockery.
Zhou Haoran adjusted his glasses, the lenses gleaming with scientific brilliance. Pointing to a sleek device on his wrist, he spoke with some pride, "Absolutely! This is my latest invention, the Lingqi Wave Fluctuation Spectrum Analyzer. It can accurately capture Lingqi anomalies at 0.001 Hertz! I've already scanned the area; there are at least three Lingqi anomaly points deep in the valley, with Spiritual Energy Concentration far exceeding normal levels. It’s likely the Obsidian Empire's Secret Base."
Zhao Yunfei chimed in from the side, "Anything produced by Professor Zhou is bound to be top-notch! Lin Alliance Leader, our Ninth Division will fully cooperate on this mission." Although he was the director of the Qi Yun Investigation Bureau, he maintained a humble demeanor in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan nodded, his sharp gaze sweeping through the depths of the valley. Indeed, under Guan Qi Abilities, several clusters of multicolored Lingqi lights lingered there like slumbering beasts, exuding an ominous aura.

**An Encounter Erupts, Testing Strength**
"Creak—"
A faint sound of a breaking branch shattered the valley's tranquility. Several shadows darted from the trees like ghosts, swiftly surrounding the alliance team. They wore tight black suits and cold black masks, with only their bloodthirsty eyes visible. The patrol team of the Obsidian Empire!
"Stand guard!" Zhao Yunfei reacted quickly, issuing a low shout as he condensed a surge of azure energy in his hand and shot it like an arrow towards the nearest black-clad figure.
"Bang!"
The man in black raised his hand, and a black Lingqi shield instantly materialized, blocking Zhao Yunfei's attack. The shield shattered into countless black light particles that dissipated, yet the man remained unmoved.
"Hmph, truly a bunch of rabble!" one of the men in black sneered, his voice hoarse 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 while forming seals with both hands. Waves of energy poured out like a torrential rain. However, these men in black were clearly well-trained, retreating and advancing with precision, skillfully countering every attack. Although the alliance members had the advantage in numbers, they were clearly lacking in coordination and ruthlessness.

**Lin Yuan Takes Action, Devouring Power Revealed**
Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a swordsman from the Obsidian Empire suddenly charged from the flank. His swordsmanship 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 dodge and was about to be struck by the sword energy.
"Get back!" Lin Yuan shouted sharply, his figure flashing as he appeared before the swordsman in an instant. He didn't employ any flashy techniques; instead, at the moment the sword energy approached, he abruptly extended his right hand, palm facing the oncoming black energy.
"Shh!"
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, the Golden Finger of Cell Phagocytosis Evolution activated, breaking down, absorbing, and analyzing this power.
The swordsman was taken aback, clearly not expecting his sword energy to be consumed barehanded. Before he could react, Lin Yuan's left hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the swordsman's shoulder.
"Decompose now, little darling," Lin Yuan grinned widely. That smile appeared more terrifying than any demon to the swordsman.
A surge of Devouring Power erupted from Lin Yuan's palm. The swordsman felt as if all his cells were being stripped away. In terror, he 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 a bizarre and 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 Phagocytosis Evolution truly was an essential Golden Finger for home travel and for taking lives!
“Enough!”
A low voice filled with anger echoed from deep within the valley. An old 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 tremendous wave of Spiritual Energy surged forth, enveloping the area like an invisible mountain, pressing down heavily on the members of the alliance.
“Hiss—”
Everyone present felt their breath catch, as if a heavy burden had been placed upon them, rendering their movements sluggish. Zhou Haoran's face turned pale; the "Lingqi Wave Fluctuation Spectrum 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 say, sweat trickling down his forehead.
The Black Robed Daoist sneered, “A bunch of ants daring to trespass on my Obsidian Empire’s territory? Today, let me show you what true power is!” With a flick of his fingers, several strands of Lingqi shot out like venomous snakes toward the alliance members, hissing as they sliced through the air.
The members of the alliance changed color in shock. They attempted to dodge, but found their bodies weighed down as if filled with lead, unable to move. Just as the Lingqi strands 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 Daoist.
“Buzz!”
The Metal Plate emitted a faint hum as an invisible wave instantly spread out. This was an improvised Lingqi Interference Device he had created in haste, hoping it would have some effect. However, the Lingqi strands merely hesitated for a moment before continuing their relentless trajectory toward their target.
Cold sweat beaded on Zhou Haoran's forehead; he realized how powerless his scientific instruments were against absolute strength.
Faced with the overwhelming pressure from the Daoist, the members of the alliance did not give up.
"We can't just sit here and wait for our doom!" Zhao Yunfei shouted, channeling all his Qigong. A brilliant azure light enveloped him as he clapped his hands together, unleashing a massive wave of energy in the form of a Palm Print that roared through the air toward the Daoist. Although this Palm Print was somewhat weakened by the Spiritual Pressure, its momentum was still formidable.
The other cultivators also sprang into action; some summoned talismans while others activated magical artifacts, creating a dazzling display of colorful Spiritual Energy Fluctuations that lit up the valley. Zhou Haoran, under Lin Yuan's protection, quickly adjusted the instrument in his hands, trying to find the frequency of the Spiritual Pressure for more effective interference.
However, the Black Robed Daoist merely smiled contemptuously. He raised his hand and grasped at the air, causing the Lingqi attacks aimed at him to dissipate as if caught by an invisible hand. Then, he brought his hands together, conjuring a massive black Lingqi net that descended upon everyone.
The net shimmered with a chilling Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, as if it could crush all living beings. Seeing this, Lin Yuan's eyes flickered with a rapid Data Stream as he activated all his Guan Qi Abilities. He clearly observed that while the Daoist's Spiritual Pressure was powerful, it was not without flaws.
"Break it!" Lin Yuan shouted fiercely. He fused the sword energy he had previously absorbed with his own Lingqi and combined it with his understanding from Scientific Analysis to form an invisible wave of energy that struck one of the nodes of the Lingqi net.
"Buzz!"
The net trembled violently; although it did not shatter, it clearly showed signs of stalling.
"Now's our chance!" Lin Yuan yelled. His body moved like a nimble leopard beneath the Lingqi net, each strike precisely targeting those Spiritual Energy Nodes attempting to restore their suppression. He continuously absorbed the Daoist's Lingqi while analyzing its control principles, seeking deeper ways to unravel it.

**Lin Yuan Strikes Back, Turning the Tide**
The Black Robed Daoist's expression shifted slightly as he realized that his Spiritual Pressure was being gradually dismantled. Each time Lin Yuan touched his Lingqi, he felt a force being siphoned away from him, filling him with both fear and rage.
"Damn you, brat!" The Daoist roared in anger, abandoning the Lingqi net as his own Lingqi surged violently. He transformed into a streak of black light and charged toward Lin Yuan, clearly intent on close combat.
Lin Yuan did not retreat; instead, he advanced with fierce determination in his eyes. Having thoroughly analyzed the Daoist's Lingqi control from previous absorptions, he was now ready to use his opponent’s own methods against him!
“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 had become a wild horse, 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 Analysis ability with the Taoist's Lingqi control ability. Invisible chains made of 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 leeches, completely disrupting the Lingqi within him.
“Crush them!” Zhao Yunfei shouted excitedly upon seeing this, unleashing a torrent of energy that surged toward the remnants of the Obsidian Empire. The morale of the alliance members soared as they erupted in unison, surrounding the black-clad figures that Lin Yuan had severely injured. Ultimately, the Obsidian Empire's Secret Base was completely obliterated.

**The End of Battle: Paying the Price**
The valley fell silent once more, but within that silence lingered a sense of solemnity. 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 their lives.
