Chapter 39: The Twelve Cloud Riders

After Xiaodao left, Yun Zhaozhao lay on the bed, closing her eyes to rest. Just as she was debating whether to move the items from her spatial storage out as a precaution, a dull pain suddenly struck her brain.

[Warning: Unknown energy attack detected. Unknown energy attack...]

Tsk, that was fast.

Yun Zhaozhao gathered all her focus, struggling to keep her mind clear. Then, enduring the dull ache, she attempted to strike back at that vague and undefinable energy.

With that thought, all the surrounding attacks seemed to vanish without a trace. I found myself in a chaotic world—a realm that felt like an eggshell, enveloping me within.

In this way, Ilusha 2 was safe and sound. Even if luck took a turn for the worst, one could still be resurrected from the belly of a horse; as long as it wasn't an arrest, it was fine.

His hands were clenched tightly, occasionally loosening and then gripping again, betraying his inner agitation.

"I couldn't care less, as long as there's a plane for me to use... where is my plane?" Du Nan feigned an indifferent attitude... though he truly did not care.

Cunning Lorenzo. That "gift" was nothing more than a divine trick conjured out of thin air, yet he insisted on playing the part of a benefactor. So be it.

Of course, if I were to open the Purple Extreme Heavenly Eye, I might be able to see something, but I don't know if that would violate the rules and enrage the Hades Emperors of this place. That would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

After pacing for a while, Jiang Zhongye called Lu Yuzhen, Jiang Ling, and several senior disciples into his tent.

Ultimately, winning against a stronger opponent through a desperate last stand is inherently a gamble, which naturally consumes a great deal of destiny.

However, Lin Yi’s face was now twisted into a sinister smile, covered in hair as if he had been transformed into a cat. He was gripping a python over a meter long in his hands, sucking its blood.

The Great Elder stopped worrying about fairness, downed the drink in one gulp, and opened the second bottle.

Ning Chong had awakened for the first time the previous night and had much to comprehend and digest; soon, he fell into a state of self-oblivion.

"Boom!" The seven-colored soul fire on Dong Zhanyun’s tenth finger shuddered, then transformed into shimmering seven-colored peach blossoms. Dong Zhanyun joyfully realized his cultivation had reached the peak of the early Ancestor stage. The thousand glowing blossoms then emitted an unusual ripple.

It was a towering black shadow, fully three meters high. Fierce flames rippled slowly around its body like waves, deep as an abyss. A blood-red eye bloomed in the center of its head, and the black mist rolling across its skin resembled the sludge at the bottom of a dark pool. Its very appearance left everyone present in terror.

"There is no more communication from them on the channel. I believe they have all been killed in action," the adjutant said solemnly.

"Ren Qiuye" replied indifferently, "Find an ice block or a spider web or something to practice on. Of course, if conditions permit, a place filled with restrictions is best." Dong Zhanyun thought for a moment and said, "Then that place is the only choice." Dong Zhanyun could only mean the bear cave.

Compared to this building capable of transformation—a technology not yet fully mature—Professor Han himself was the crystallization of Divine Descent Technology, the embodiment of a new era.

There were not only members of the Peng family at the foot of the mountain, but also his younger brother. If he were to return now, he feared it would invite gossip.

Ou Yelian, Esmeralda, and others from the Superpower Legion returned one after another. Though they had not achieved significant results, their fighter jets had survived the enemy's sky-filling barrage, preserving their strength for the next assault.

"Lu Tong, is Shi Yi with you? Her phone is unreachable," Luo Yuhang asked anxiously on the other end of the line.

Jaws dropped in the audience. It wasn't that they didn't want to close their mouths; they were so astonished they simply couldn't, even the members of the Sword God Sect.
