A faint red light sliced through the night sky, and Lin Yuan's heart sank sharply, enveloped by an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Not good! He has exposed our position!" Lin Yuan suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as an eagle's.
"What?! He has this trick!" Zhou Haoran shivered in fear, nearly collapsing to the ground. He quickly grabbed the monitoring device from the table, put on the headphones, and his face turned pale in an instant. "I... I can't believe it! Lin Yuan, listen to this!"
From the once silent static of the monitor, a deep and dense humming sound emerged, growing louder as it approached, carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure, as if some colossal entity was sweeping in from all directions.
Sweat beads rolled down Zhou Haoran's forehead like pearls from a broken string. He pointed frantically at the holographic screen, where countless red dots were converging at an astonishing speed towards their temporary Secret Base.
"This is... the main force of the Obsidian Empire!" Zhou Haoran's voice trembled slightly as he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "There are at least hundreds of energy sources, and... several super S-level ones! This isn't just a capture mission; it's clearly an extermination!"
Lin Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He hadn't expected Wang Shijie to have such a trump card; this was not just a simple spy but a detonator!
"Alarm!" The sharp electronic alarm instantly shattered the silence within the Secret Base, and red warning lights began to flash wildly, casting a blood-red hue over the entire space.
"All members, attention! The Obsidian Empire has fully invaded! Enter combat mode immediately!" Lin Yuan's voice thundered like lightning as he scanned every person present, his gaze filled with determination. "We, the Scientific Cultivation Alliance, are not to be trifled with!"
With a wave of his hand, the defense system of the Secret Base activated instantly. Heavy alloy gates slammed down with a resounding crash, and countless energy shields intertwined in the air, forming an impenetrable defensive net.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan was the first to rush to the entrance of the Secret Base. Lingqi surged in his fists as he prepared for battle.
"Lin Alliance Leader, I'm here!" Zhao Yunfei followed closely behind, wielding a long sword that emitted a soft glow. Although his face was somewhat pale, his eyes were resolute.
"Don't forget about me!" Zhou Haoran also hefted an exaggerated Spirit Cannon, its muzzle flickering with eerie blue electricity. As he ran, he shouted, "My 'scientific bombardment' is no joke!"
"Boom!"
Outside the Secret Base came a series of violent rumblings, as if something was violently crashing against the defensive shields. Then came a chilling roar that penetrated through the thick alloy walls, directly assaulting everyone's eardrums.
"They're here!" Lin Yuan said in a low voice. He could clearly sense waves of violent and cold Spiritual Energy Fluctuation surging into the Secret Base like a tide.
"Bang!"
The first defensive shield shattered instantly as dozens of shadowy figures surged in like phantoms.
They were the Taoists of the Obsidian Empire and the Test Subjects!
The Taoists wore black robes, wielding artifacts that flickered with a ghostly light. Their faces bore sinister smiles, and their eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty gleam. The Test Subjects were even more terrifying; they appeared emaciated, their skin covered in dense runes, their eyes glowing with an eerie red light, emitting beast-like growls as if they had crawled out from the depths of hell.
One Test Subject charged towards Lin Yuan first, its grotesque face looming close, the stench hitting him like a wave. Its muscular right arm swung down violently, slicing through the air with a howling sound, aimed directly at Lin Yuan's head.
Lin Yuan did not retreat but advanced instead, a flash of brilliance igniting in his eyes.
“Come at me!” he roared, his entire Lingqi erupting in an instant as he launched his right fist forward to collide hard against the Test Subject's arm.
“Boom!”
A muffled sound echoed as the violent energy surged outward, sending nearby Test Subjects flying. The Test Subject let out a horrific scream as its right arm exploded, turning into a mass of bloody pulp.
However, Lin Yuan's assault did not cease. Like a phantom, he plunged into the enemy ranks, his fists dancing with each strike carrying the might to split mountains and shatter stones.
Zhou Haoran set up the Spirit Cannon, its barrel glowing brightly with blue light. Beams of energy shot out like lasers, accurately hitting every Test Subject that attempted to approach. Those struck instantly turned to charred remains, releasing a nauseating stench.
Zhao Yunfei's sword danced through the air, leaving behind trails of afterimages. The sword tip exhaled sharp sword energy; each thrust claimed the life of a Taoist. He moved gracefully like a dancer amidst the enemy crowd, where his sword light passed, blood splattered.
The entire Secret Base transformed into a hellish battlefield, where Lingqi and technology intertwined amidst the sounds of explosions and impacts.
Lin Yuan's Cellular Devouring ability reached its peak at this moment. With every contact with an enemy, he felt streams of chaotic energy surge into his body. The Lingqi and Cultivation Methods of those Heiyao Taoists and the brutal physical strength of the Test Subjects were continuously analyzed and absorbed by him.
He even sensed that the energies he devoured were intertwining and merging within him, forming an unprecedented powerful force.
“This is… Myriad Phenomena Return to Origin!” Lin Yuan thought ecstatically as he suddenly closed his eyes to feel the growing power within him.
Various chaotic energies collided and fused within him wildly until they formed a massive Energy Vortex. When he opened his eyes again, there were no distractions left—only pure and overwhelming power remained.
“Myriad Phenomena Return to Origin!”
Lin Yuan roared as he spread his arms wide. A brilliant and powerful torrent of energy erupted from his body. This torrent contained all kinds of colorful lights—those were the various Cultivation Methods and energies he had absorbed and analyzed, now completely merged into a force capable of devastating destruction.
Wherever the torrent of energy passed, both the Heiyao Taoist and the Test Subject were instantly torn apart like paper, dissolving into a mist of blood. Within the Secret Base, nearly half of the enemies were wiped out in this single strike!
Lin Yuan's aura became somewhat chaotic, yet the excitement in his eyes remained undiminished. This move, Myriad Phenomena Return to Origin, was a perfect fusion of his Cellular Devouring and Scientific Analysis abilities, its power exceeding even his own expectations.
However, just as he thought he could take a breath, a sharp sword energy suddenly surged from the side, carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine.
Lin Yuan's heart tightened; instinctively, he quickly sidestepped. The sword energy grazed his cheek, leaving a shallow cut that drew blood.
"Lin Yuan, your abilities intrigue me," a cold and sinister voice whispered in his ear.
Lin Yuan turned sharply to see a man in a black kimono approaching slowly. He wielded a long blade that emitted an eerie glow; its blade was as dark as ink but shimmered with a strange crimson light. A playful smile graced his face, yet his eyes were as cold as frost, capable of freezing anyone in place.
It was Oozawa Naoki!
How could he be here?!
Lin Yuan's heart raced; he could sense that this man was far stronger than any enemy he had encountered before!
"Hmph, want to test my swordsmanship?" Oozawa Naoki sneered. With a swift motion, the Demon Blade Muramasa slashed downwards, unleashing a brilliant arc of light that tore through the air and rushed towards Lin Yuan.
