I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

She had a feeling that Liu Mengxian was definitely already on her way!

However, the sea is her domain, and as the saying goes, a dragon lies hidden in the abyss; she has a greater sense of confidence than usual.

Seeing that the Mirage Dragon still intended to fight, Yan Ziming continued, "Although I am not your match yet, you can't do anything more than that, can you?"

Yan Ziming's expression turned serious, and she turned the Spear of Victory around and held it in her hand.

This grasp was like grasping a super-powerful energy amplifier; his aura surged dramatically, and his sharp will pierced a hole in the sky.

Qing's gaze became more focused.

That spear is strange...

Judging from the surface appearance just now, it seems that Yan Zimo's strength is entirely due to the spear of victory. After all, Yan Zimo's powerful combat strength was amplified after contact. However, Qing saw something deeper.

With its keen eyesight, it could easily see that this was another manifestation of the elemental wall. Maintaining it would require an enormous amount of energy; logically, even Yan Ziming shouldn't be able to sustain it, but...

She not only accomplished this, but also reached unprecedented heights.

Without a doubt, Yan Ziming is now a step above the others, even though she is still a Rank-level fighter like she was in Tibet.

However, Qing did not believe that Yan Ziming could defeat her now, and Yan Ziming herself did not think so either; the gap between the two still existed.

Why does this happen?

It all started with one of Yan Zimo's experiments.

During the more than six months that Ye Qianxue recuperated at home, she was obsessed with exploring the secrets of the Elemental Wall. At first, she had to do everything in her power to condense one of them, but now, while she can't say it's effortless, she can do it with ease. Yet, she is still relentlessly exploring the secrets of the Elemental Wall.

By chance, she came up with the idea of ​​involving the useless Xi as well.

The divinity of the useless Xi complements her, and with this she can reach the combat power of the sequence level. However, what is hers is hers, and what is not hers will never truly belong to her.

The upper limit of Waste Xi is also her upper limit.

To use a vivid analogy, if we compare Yan Ziming's Void Realm strength index to '5' and the Waste Xi's Sequence Level strength index to '10', then adding Yan Ziming and Waste Xi together doesn't achieve the level of '5+10=15'. Instead, Yan Ziming replaces Waste Xi as the '10', and the original base of '5' is essentially nonexistent.

Since breaking through to the ninth rank, their strength has remained stagnant at '10' without any improvement, which made Yan Ziming see the drawback.

This level of combat power is fake; it's just a pipe dream.

She needs a fundamental transformation.

The Wall of Elements offers this possibility.

Firstly, looking at their life levels, the levels of Waste Xi, Yan Zimo, and Elemental Wall are quite similar, and their attributes are exactly the same.

With so many things in common, how could Yan Ziming not have any thoughts? She immediately put her plan into action.

The Elemental Wall requires an extremely strong amount of lightning element to sustain its existence. Even Yan Ziming, as a lightning spirit, found it difficult to cope. However, Xi, being a useless person, was essentially a huge 'battery'. With her addition, the pressure of maintaining the Elemental Wall was greatly reduced, and a very stable balance was achieved among the three.

Now the base number has changed. Yan Zimo's '5', Feiju Xi's '10', plus the Elemental Wall, this number has reached 15 or even higher.

Perhaps... using the term 'trinity' to describe Yan Zimo now is more in line with the actual situation.

85. Calm and peaceful

This method is somewhat peculiar, but it is indeed feasible and can be improved. Perhaps Liu Mengxian used other methods to obtain sequential-level combat power before breaking through to the Soul Heaven, but in the end, the two can only be said to have the same result by different paths.

A few days ago, when they surrounded and killed that fake Gu King, Yan Ziming intended to hide his strength and lure the Mirage Dragon out. Therefore, he did not kill the Gu King with his strongest power. It seems that he miscalculated. The Mirage Dragon was not even there at that time.

Yan Ziming had already prepared himself and said, "If you insist on continuing, I don't mind dragging you into a corner where you can't leave. You'll still be dead."

"Then you have to be able to do it."

The mirage dragon flew forward, its enormous claw descending. The auspicious seven-colored light magnified the claw infinitely, and a circle of lightning emanated from Yan Ziming's body, like a drill, forcefully shooting upwards.

Clang—Ding—Chirp!

Several different sounds rang out in succession. The dragon claws were knocked back, and Yan Ziming was also sent flying backward a distance. Then, a burst of lightning surged from under his feet, and a dazzling beam of light engulfed the mirage dragon. However, the beam of light was forcibly annihilated in the next second, and the mirage dragon's bright dragon eyes stared at Yan Ziming like a god.

"?!"

Yan Ziming's expression changed, and a huge bolt of lightning struck down in front of her, causing her to disappear without a trace.

boom--

In its place came enormous pillars of light, as if all the volcanoes in the world were erupting at the same time—a magnificent and spectacular sight. The air seemed to be burning, the clouds dispersed, and the sky brightened.

The area around the mirage dragon became illusory, and it dispersed like ripples on water. It was not hit and appeared to the side and behind, its eyes filled with shock.

That attack just now was very close to Aurora's level. Aurora's killing move can instantly injure any Sequence-level creature, and no one can come out unscathed.

The tyrant stopped moving as a result, glanced at the beam of light that disappeared into the sky, and shuddered as if he had seen something terrifying.

[Holy crap! I thought that guy was here!]

It cursed inwardly. The moment it saw Yan Ziming, it even thought Liu Mengxian had arrived, which terrified it.

Its actions with the Mirage Dragon were a serious provocation to Liu Mengxian, and they didn't have much time left, but it still wanted to kill the Great Sage.

With a deafening roar that made everyone dizzy, the tyrant launched his final and most terrifying attack on the Great Sage.

This is what is known as exchanging injury for injury.

Any attempt to stop it was futile. The elemental wall that Su Yuchen had condensed was smashed to pieces by it. Unstoppable, the Great Sage had no choice but to retreat a little further.

Odyssey, a prehistoric civilization teeming with powerful warriors and whose advanced combat capabilities were deeply feared by nations around the world, was utterly defeated today under the pressure of the Tyrant and the Mirage Dragon. Perhaps the Mirage Dragon didn't even need to appear; the Tyrant alone could have inflicted enormous losses on Odyssey.

"Why don't you retreat first? Your main target is you."

Su Yuchen tried to persuade the Great Sage, but the Great Sage shook his head, saying, "If I leave, it will inevitably return to Crescent Moon City."

The City of the Crescent is the foundation of Odyssey. Without it, their revival is nothing but a pipe dream; they'll be lucky to even survive in this world.

The dissipation of the cloud vortex allowed them to see the scene inside Crescent City. The damage was already severe, but it was still usable at the moment and could still be salvaged.

Crescent City

After that attack, Yan Ziming's aura noticeably decreased, but it rebounded at an astonishing speed. The Mirage Dragon seized this opportunity to attack Yan Ziming, forcing her to retreat continuously in the air, and she was gradually about to leave Crescent City.

In the end, Yan Ziming deliberately created an opening, and was instantly shattered into pieces by the Mirage Dragon, which sent him flying. Sure enough, the Mirage Dragon chased after him, determined to press its advantage.

"Knight!" Ina exclaimed, and Id beside her immediately perked up, shouting excitedly, "Now! Activate the defense system immediately!"

Finally, the opportunity has arrived. Once the defense system is activated, as long as the foundation of Crescent City remains intact, Odyssey will be safe!

However, the next moment, Ide and Ina's faces turned extremely pale. They saw that the mirage dragon, which was originally going to continue to sneak up and kill Yan Zimo, suddenly changed its momentum in an instant and swung its tail down.

The air was shattered, the raging sea instantly surrendered, and everything in its path was destroyed.

"Aa ...

Under such pressure, Ide's body was almost unable to move. His finger joints cracked and popped as he exerted all his strength to resist, but he couldn't even stop them in the slightest.

Snapped!

Like a whale tail slamming against the shore, Id suddenly lost his hearing and his mind went blank. He couldn't hear anything, and Ina fainted.

"Tsk tsk, you almost tricked me."

At the critical moment, Yan Zimo's elemental wall materialized in front of them from a distance, saving them. Of course, he didn't save Ide, but Ina; Ide was just an afterthought.

However, after whipping its tail, the Mirage Dragon didn't even glance at the Great Sage before charging towards him with even greater speed.

Su Yuchen and the others' expressions changed drastically. The Mirage Dragon was too fast, arriving in front of them almost in an instant, leaving them no chance to run.

Only now did they realize the pain the Great Sage had felt when he was initially attacked by the Mirage Dragon and the Tyrant. He was completely unable to defend himself. In a violent explosion, Su Yuchen was thrown into the sea, and General Yi Ke was instantly killed, his body shattered into a pile of mud. Thus, a supreme being of the Void Spirit Realm perished.

Even a great sage like myself could not maintain my ethereal and otherworldly composure upon witnessing this scene.

That was a being in the Void Realm! In any country, they would be a precious treasure, comparable to a leader, and yet they died just like that.

"Alright, now's the time for you to run away, and you'll be fine, right?"

Yan Ziming arrived late, but she was overwhelmed by the combined attack of the Tyrant and the Mirage Dragon; their offensive was too fierce.

The Great Sage was a reasonable person. Realizing this, she decisively left. The Mirage Dragon and the Tyrant, having lost their target, fought with Yan Zimo for a while longer, but then lost interest in continuing their scheme. Based on their anticipation of danger, the longer the time passed, the stronger their feeling of impending doom grew. It was a sign that Liu Mengxian was about to arrive.

shuttle--

They both dived into the seabed, and even with their enormous size, they were like a needle in a haystack in the Pacific Ocean, never to be found again.

"Hmph, still as insidious as ever." Yan Ziming snorted coldly, having almost fallen for his trick.

She deliberately followed her lead, then launched a feint attack, using the assassination of Ina as a pretext. Her real target was the Great Sage, or perhaps both of them were her targets.

At this moment, the sea calmed down, everything subsided, the sea returned to its turbulent state, and Crescent City still stood, as if what had just happened here was just an illusion.

Su Yuchen emerged from the sea, looking utterly disheveled. Yan Ziming wasn't much better off, having been besieged by the Mirage Dragon and the Tyrant; even she had 'died' twice.

Seeing Su Yuchen's expression of gratitude, Yan Ziming raised his hand and made a 'goodbye' gesture, saying, "I am very grateful to you for saving Mu Mu back then, but this time we are even."

86. Abducting someone in person

"We're even now."

Yan Ziming's words were stern and ruthless; she didn't want to have too much to do with Su Yuchen.

Su Yuchen remained silent. He had a thousand words he wanted to say, but he just couldn't bring himself to say them. The difference in their strength was like an insurmountable chasm, and he felt that Yan Zimo was far away from him.

"I still want to thank you." These words seemed to be his last act of devotion to Yan Ziming, as he left in disappointment.

In the distance, a dark cloud, like a giant roc that blots out the sun, arrived in an instant, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The oppressive force that made all living beings submit was immense, higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Even the combined might of the mirage dragon and the tyrant from before could not match the power of this pressure. The lightning pierced through everyone's hearts, and they all felt awe towards it.
