Chapter 5: Bountiful Harvests on Both Sides
"Hey~~ there's a chance~~"
Lian Yun's attack was ineffective against the Year Beast BSS, which was impossible. The Insect Emperor immediately thought of this; the time had come, and it was only then that it was negated.
However, the Year Beast BSS was now down to only fifteen percent health, so as long as the three of them launched their strongest attacks once more, they had a good chance of defeating it.
Although none of them were in peak condition and were even a bit weak, could they not eliminate that last fifteen percent?
Thus, the Insect Emperor decided not to recover but to gather strength again, preparing to attack the Year Beast BSS in one minute.
"Uh~~ it should be dead," Lian Yun said with a strange expression.
"Dead? How is that possible? Its body hasn't changed at all. And there’s no indication!" The Insect Emperor replied, puzzled, then slapped his forehead and sat down heavily on the ground.
For someone like him, along with Lian Yun and Xiao Jun, who could deal damage in the hundreds per second, how could they have missed their timing for an attack?
Clearly, Lian Yun's attack had been effective.
It was just that time had run out; due to the Dungeon's mechanics, the Year Beast BSS's body had not dissipated or collapsed.
As for why there was no indication, Lian Yun speculated it might be similar to the Yaochi Dungeon, where notifications only appeared after the completion time had elapsed.
It should be noted that after Lian Yun and Xiao Jun cleared the Yaochi Dungeon, they were suspected by Zhuang Wuxue and others because they had exited early before their immersion time had finished.
Now it seemed to be a similar situation.
The three of them sat down to rest while the city continued to strike at the White Spirit Coin.
Although defeating the Year Beast BSS was extremely difficult, once it was finally killed, Lian Yun felt a sense of unreality, as if this Year Beast might possess some ability to resurrect.
Thus, it was better to be prepared.
A minute later, the three of them saw the Year Beast BSS suddenly erupting with a massive amount of Golden Treasure Boxes, instantly forming a mountain of treasure boxes that buried the Year Beast BSS. As the treasure boxes quickly disappeared, so did the corpse of the Year Beast BSS.
Yet, the three still did not hear any notifications.
"Do we still need to deal with these Ordinary Year Beasts around here?" Insect Emperor said with little excitement but couldn't help but complain.
And indeed, there were no notifications, no appearance of the Year Beast BSS again, and no teleportation portal emerged.
The three found themselves trapped in this place.
Thus, Insect Emperor and Xiao Jun ignored the Ordinary Year Beasts and flew into the air to sit cross-legged.
The Fist Master was recalled by Xiao Jun into the Ghost Group, but Hei was engaged in a fierce battle with the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The shockwaves from their clash or a single stomp could eliminate numerous Ordinary and Elite Year Beasts.
Lian Yun glanced at Xiao Jun, then fell silent for a moment before waving his hand to unleash Thousand Soul Swords, instantly killing all Year Beasts outside the battlefield where Hei and the Tyrannosaurus Rex were fighting.
He had no intention of competing with Xiao Jun for first place, but he still desired the twenty percent bonus reward for completing the mission.
Having been in Yin Yang City for over a year and nearly three months now, he felt that obtaining the data needed to leave Yin Yang City within two years would not be an easy task.
Unless some extraordinary imperial pardon situation occurred.
However, although Lian Yun believed that the emperor had granted him many favors, considering the nature of Yin Yang City, he naturally hoped to contribute more. Thus, while other rewards might still be possible, an imperial pardon to leave seemed unlikely.
With the spiritual energy provided by the city, Lian Yun spent two hours dealing with the Ordinary Year Beasts while opening Golden Treasure Boxes.
With the addition of the Insect Emperor, the total was substantial, with the Golden Treasure Box containing as much as two hundred fifty thousand. The main source was likely from defeating the Year Beast BSS, which dropped more frequently.
However, the opportunities opened by the Mental Potion were quite limited, with only a little over sixteen hundred available. Therefore, Lian Yun gave over twelve hundred to the Insect Emperor.
There were also quite a few Diamond Spirit Coins, totaling more than one hundred thousand. Honor Points were off the charts, suddenly increasing by over twelve billion.
In terms of equipment, Soul Material, ores, and other precious items were gathered. Aside from ores and Soul Material, Lian Yun didn't pay much attention to the rest. However, a Soul Zither caught Lian Yun's eye, prompting him to play a few notes.
Next were five Fortress Formation Blueprints. It was evident that Lian Yun had struck lucky last year when he obtained two from less than four thousand boxes.
Without examining the blueprints in detail, Lian Yun directly gave three to Xiao Jun and kept two for Yaochi, hoping it would come in handy in the future.
The event wasn't over yet, so Lian Yun organized his gains before heading to assess the situation with Yan Clone.
Immediately, he felt somewhat speechless.
Inside Yin City, most of the Chaos Beasts were Soul Bodies rather than physical entities made of mud and sand like those in Yin-Yang City.
Naturally, what Yan faced was a Soul Body Year Beast BSS.
Since Yin City did not differentiate between levels, the Year Beast Yan encountered was similar to other Spirits—a Year Beast BSS with thirty layers of defense.
Initially, its strength could be considered Monarch level.
It seemed that below Monarch level, one was not qualified to obtain the highest tier treasure boxes.
In this place of Yang Zai Xing, there was no need for Lian Yun to worry. Initially, Su Fang's performance was quite standard. However, when the Year Beast BSS was brought down to its second Thirteenth Layer, its self-healing ability reached the maximum attack value of Yan's team.
Under normal circumstances, continuous attacks and constant gains would have been sufficient.
However, after a prolonged assault without any success, the relentless attacks only fueled Su Fang's frustration, which gradually escalated into fury, driving her to madness.
It seemed as if she had become numb to the pain of her soul being torn apart. She ordered the Nine Ghost Children to self-destruct and even charged directly into the mouth of the Year Beast BSS to explode.
As Su Fang advanced to a higher Demon Emperor level, the Nine Offspring reached the peak of a mid-level Demon Emperor. The power of this self-detonation was truly astonishing.
However, this left Yang Zai Xing and Yan Capital unable to launch their attacks. Yang Zai Xing could hurriedly evade and seek openings for counterattacks, but Yan found himself unable to do so.
Retreating to the side, Yan watched helplessly as Su Fang descended into madness. He felt a pang of sympathy but was powerless to stop her; even attempting to exit this Dungeon was not an option.
Initially, Yan had planned to ask Le to stop providing Su Fang with Soul Power. However, witnessing her frenzied state made him worry that without Soul Power, Su Fang might self-destruct herself.
It was truly heartbreaking and filled him with resentment, as he suddenly recalled that in the past, Qin Jiuwang had likely pushed Su Fang to fight in such a manner.
Otherwise, despite her madness, her traditional feminine nature would not allow her to harm "her own children" so recklessly. It was precisely because she had grown accustomed to it that she no longer held any reservations in this regard.
Thus, Yan could only continue supplying Su Fang with Soul Power alongside Le. They sought neither rewards nor rankings; they only hoped that this event would conclude soon and that next time they wouldn't let Su Fang participate in this Dungeon for a mere Supreme Soul Coin.
