Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

Feeling his mental energy rapidly depleting, Ling Yue smiled slightly.

In fact, neither the woman in the shop nor Chen Muyi's Five Element Lock consumed too much of his energy; they only consumed a little of his fire elemental power. Once he broke through or after some time, his fire elemental power would automatically recover.

The process of reshaping their physical bodies involved Ling Yue using a wisp of his Fire Spirit essence as their 'heart'. The rest was determined by the resurrected individuals' physical attributes and various factors such as the Forbidden Ruins, but all that was consumed was Ling Yue's spiritual power.

Compared to resurrection and the power of origin, spiritual power is insignificant.

On the other side, Ningbing sensed the rapidly depleting spiritual energy within her master and felt somewhat worried.

"Master, your body..."

"It's nothing, just reviving a Chuanjing, it just takes a little longer. Let's go first." With that, Ling Yue took the lead and walked out.

Watching her master walk away, Ningbing silently pouted, lowered her raised hand, and quickly followed.

Inside the room, a familiar and powerful golden light appeared on Chen Muye's body. Then, the golden light was driven out of Chen Muye's body by Ling Yue's fire spirit essence and flew towards Lin Qiye.

Instead, Ling Yue's Fire Spirit Origin replaced it, using the power of the Origin as the heart, the power of the Five Elements as the body, and his spiritual power to replicate the Forbidden Ruins and Realm, thus reviving Chen Muye in all aspects.

Inside the basement, Lin Qiye, who was continuing his training because there were no mysterious cases, suddenly felt two invisible energies enter his body.

Two energies, one strong and one weak, both entered Lin Qiye's body and merged into his 'miracle'.

Lin Qiye, who was swinging his sword, scratched his head in bewilderment. "Strange, I only swung the Sword God Ruins twice and it became stronger?!"

Meanwhile, inside a sewer in Cangnan City.

Wearing a white coat, An Qingyu placed the last small piece of black flesh on a large operating table with a pained expression.

From a distance, this black flesh, no larger than an adult's fingernail, seems to exist as if it doesn't exist.

An Qingyu shook his head, staring at the huge operating table, his eyes seeming to recall how magnanimous he was before that hateful golden gourd appeared.

You know, before that golden gourd appeared, An Qingyu's mysterious corpses were never lacking, and he would always give half to the 136th Squad. But now?

Ever since that wretched golden gourd appeared, he has never obtained the mysterious corpse again. The one he found now was actually found in the next city by his army of rats.

Ultimately, all those words coalesced into one voice:

"Ugh!"

Outside Cangnan City —

Inside a helicopter stood a group of figures draped in golden cloaks.

Everyone stared at the helicopter piloted by AI, exchanging bewildered glances.

Finally, the only man in the Phoenix squad looked at the woman awkwardly laughing ahead and said quietly, "Captain, what we're doing could land us in a military court!"

The woman scratched her head awkwardly upon hearing this, "Haha...it's okay, it's not like we've only been sued once or twice..."

Seeing that even this couldn't shake the woman's confidence, the man spoke again: "Captain, are you sure that Ling Yue will join us? And... even if he agrees, and we agree, the higher-ups of Da Xia won't agree."

The woman paused again upon hearing this. 'Oh no! I was so focused on inviting Ling Yue that I forgot the most important thing!'

Despite her inner turmoil, the woman didn't show it on her face. She patted her chest forcefully and said, "Don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we can convince Ling Yue to join our team, I've already prepared for the rest!"

After saying that, the woman turned away and stopped looking at him.

Cangnan City —

In a desolate place surrounded by mountains, yet with a sinister atmosphere, a disheveled man with a stubble beard and the smell of alcohol held a large, pale blue crystal in his arms, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

Seeing that no one was following him, the man walked straight to the front.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there should have been no way out in the end, but when the man reached the end, an underground entrance leading to the underworld appeared at the end.

The man looked around again, and after confirming that no one was following him, he opened the entrance and jumped down.

Five seconds later, the man finally landed.

As soon as you look down, the entire underground seems to have been hollowed out, with no end in sight.

Looking further, the underground area, which was the size of two or three football fields, turned out to be a five-pointed star magic circle.

The five points of the five-pointed star are marked with the characters 'metal', 'wood', 'water', 'fire', and 'earth'.

Next to each of the five characters, a stone pillar representing its respective color stands above the character.

"Come on, come on! Get closer, get closer!" It was as if a demon was whispering in the man's mind, causing him to walk forward while holding the huge pale blue crystal.

At the center of the magic circle, a shattered, deep red crystal glittered, and it was from this crystal that the whispers of the demon in the man's mind came from.

Finally, the man, his steps frantic and without rhythm, placed the pale blue crystal in his arms next to the deep red crystal with a blank look in his eyes.

In less than a second, it absorbed more than a dozen pale blue crystals the size of deep red crystals. The deep red crystals instantly grew several times larger, and an evil aura emanated from within them.

"Ugh—ah!!" The man, reeking of alcohol, felt suffocated, followed by a sharp pain in his head.

"Bang bang bang!!" The man pounded his head with both hands in pain, trying to cover up the pain in his brain with the pain, but the pain in his brain did not decrease at all, and even intensified with the rapid flashing of the deep red crystal.

boom!

The man, writhing in pain, completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground. Meanwhile, the deep red crystal in the center of the pentagram array continued to flicker, and a deep red light emerged from within the crystal, slowly drifting towards the man's head...

In less than half a second, the man stood up again. His eyes were bloodshot and his head was covered in blood, but the corners of his mouth were uncontrollably turned up in a crazy smile, as if he felt no pain.

The man's mouth opened slightly, and he uttered a voice filled with a weariness and madness that didn't belong to him: "Five Spirit Kings! I've returned!"
