The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

"That's wonderful!" Shen Yao was delighted. With her spiritual root expanding, her cultivation techniques would also strengthen, increasing both her attack and defense. "It must be because you absorbed the crystal core. Husband, has your spiritual root expanded?"

Feng Yu sensed it and said, "No, but I can feel that my spiritual root is more resilient."

Shen Yao: "Your spiritual root must be expanding soon, let's absorb it quickly."

Feng Yu: "Okay."

After the couple absorbed the red crystal core, Feng Yu felt a burning sensation in her spiritual root: "Yan Zhou, my spiritual root has also expanded!"

Shen Yao was overjoyed that her husband had become even stronger: "That's wonderful! Yunhe is truly amazing!"

Before they could even celebrate, the road suddenly started shaking.

They quickly flew back to low altitude, where they saw a long, black highway that undulated and arched like a giant python.

The road lurched and twisted, causing all the vehicles on the road to overturn, and streetlights to break and shatter.

Not far from them, the road surface gradually cracked, revealing a large hole in the middle, from which a tall, mutated zombie crawled out from underground.

This mutated zombie was ugly, with its hair completely gone and its scalp cracked and lumpy.

Its upper body is naked, its muscles are swollen, and its skin is bluish-gray with many cracked keratin deposits, resembling clods of earth.

In stark contrast to his rugged upper body, his legs were long and thin, clad in black skinny jeans and men's Latin dance shoes.

The large zombie roared at them and strode toward them.

It can even control the road to rise up and form a slope into the sky!

Shen Yao recalled a term from a zombie drama: "Earth-type ability! He's an earth-type mutated zombie who can control sand!"

"Root Bind!" Feng Yu used wood elemental power to form a hand seal, from which many tree roots sprouted. The roots touched the road in mid-air, quickly attaching and taking root. The roots coiled firmly, tightly binding the raised earth and preventing the road surface from rising further.

Shen Yao wanted to use her cheat ability to kill it instantly, but she couldn't bear to part with the crystal core in its brain.

This mutated zombie is far more powerful than the zombies in the horde; the crystal core in its brain must be very advanced.

Shen Yao, wielding the Ice Soul Sword, attacked the large zombie. Earthen walls kept rising on the road, and Feng Yu followed closely behind, using wooden roots to firmly bind the earthen walls and prevent them from rising.

The large zombie was not agile, and the Ice Soul Sword struck its skull directly.

"boom!"

The Ice Soul Sword struck the giant zombie's forehead, producing a crisp metallic clang. Unexpectedly, this mutated zombie had such strong defense!

The Ice Soul Sword didn't even leave a mark on his forehead!

Enraged by the blow, the burly zombie roared and its powerful arm transformed into a mortar hammer in a counterattack.

Shen Yao quickly retreated to Feng Yu's side: "Its physique is too strong, we can't cut it."

Feng Yu: "Don't be afraid, let me do it."

The massive zombie slammed its earth hammer into the ground, shattering several tree roots that were binding the earth.

Holding the Frost Sword, Feng Yu moved with incredible speed, slicing around the large zombie's head several times, but only managed to shave off some of its scalp.

The giant zombie's ramming hammer missed Feng Yu, but its scalp was sliced ​​off. It roared and sprayed out chunks of earth, sending Feng Yu flying.

Feng Yu was knocked back several feet. Unable to dodge in time, some clods of earth hit him.

He felt the spot where he was hit become incredibly stiff, and hurriedly used his wood elemental power to repair it: "Yanzhou, stay away from him. Being hit by a clod of earth seems to cause stiffness."

While using wooden vines to block the giant zombie's attack, Shen Yao asked Feng Yu, "You were hit by it just now? How are you?"

Feng Yu released tree roots at the feet of the large zombie: "I'm fine, I've recovered."

The tree roots took hold of the ground, their tendrils spreading to the large zombie's legs, tightly binding it and rendering it unable to move.

Shen Yao used her golden finger to pierce the chest of the large zombie. The large zombie roared twice, and the hole in its chest was filled with clods of earth, restoring it to its original state.

It seems the only option is to cut off his skull.

Shen Yao released the Wood Spirit Net to bind the mutated zombie's body: "Husband, hurry up and cut it!"

"Alright." The Frost Sword and the Spirit Sword were drawn together, constantly slicing at the skull of the large zombie. The large zombie struggled and roared desperately, but the couple used their wood elemental power together to firmly imprison him.

The giant zombie's skull was finally flattened, revealing the translucent orange crystal core inside.

With a flick of the Frost Sword, the orange crystal core fell to the ground with a thud. Its body, now devoid of the crystal core, shattered into large chunks of earth the moment it touched the ground.

The tip of the Frost Sword, carrying the crystal core, fell into Feng Yu's hand. Feng Yu flew to Shen Yao's side: "Yan Zhou, quickly absorb it."

Shen Yao refused: "I don't want it, you absorb it."

Feng Yu's attitude was firm: "No, I have enough spiritual power. If you don't absorb it, what will happen to the next wave?"

"I'll just stay away." Shen Yao analyzed for him: "I couldn't cut that mutated zombie at all. The next wave will definitely be stronger. There's no use in absorbing this crystal core."

"Only by absorbing it can your combat power be maximized."

Feng Yu still refused, so Shen Yao blurted out, "If you don't absorb it, I won't take you with me when I go back to the Outer Heaven."

Unexpectedly, Feng Yu's face darkened upon hearing this. He frowned, suppressing his anger, and stared intently into Shen Yao's eyes, questioning her: "Did you never intend to take me with you?"

Shen Yao only wanted him to make up his mind to absorb the crystal core, but she didn't expect his reaction to be so strong: "No, I didn't, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, the twisted road began to tremble, and the roots binding the earth snapped inch by inch. Shen Yao cried out anxiously, "Husband, I was wrong! Absorb it quickly, the next wave of zombies is coming!"

Feng Yu almost crushed the crystal core in his hand. He felt an indescribable pain in his heart, but no matter whether Yan Zhou would take him away in the future, he had to protect her now.

He absorbed the orange crystal core and prepared for battle.

The ground began to collapse, and the entire space distorted. They were flying in the air, swaying from side to side, unable to control their center of gravity.

A black hole appeared in the sky. The black hole had an extremely strong suction force, and all objects were forced to fly towards the black hole.

Feng Yu and Shen Yao were also unable to resist the pull of the black hole. They threw spiritual ropes at each other, entangled themselves together.

As the black hole grew larger, the couple finally embraced tightly before entering it.

Before they could say any farewells, everything went black, the world spun around them, and they were thrown into a slide, crashing into the passageway between the second and third chambers of the underground palace.

"You're out!" Hu Yawu's melancholy expression vanished, replaced by joy: "You're finally out!"

Huo Die also beamed with joy: "Hahaha, we're finally out! We didn't disappoint Dad!"

Shen Yao and Feng Yu were completely bewildered: They're out already? Weren't they transported to a more dangerous place?

Shen Yao looked up at the star map on the mural; the brightest blue planet was now dim and lifeless.

Huo Die: "Congratulations on breaking the formation! Tell your father what you encountered inside."
