    Chapter 216 (Rewritten)

    The opponent who possessed the Lifebearer sequence and an immense reserve of Blood Essence had been killed by Yashan in a single exchange.

    Instead of feeling proud...

    Yashan felt strangely dissatisfied.

    His original plan had been perfect.

    Fight with everything he had.

    Exchange hundreds of blows.

    Finally seize an opening with a brilliant move, forcing his opponent to kneel and beg for mercy.

    Only then would he place one foot upon the defeated enemy and solemnly preach the ideals of the Innovation Century Project.

    Who would have thought...

    The fellow couldn't even survive one round.

    "He really doesn't deserve the title of Lifebearer..."


    ---

    Hidden several hundred meters away...

    Xuzi Momo, who had been preparing to ambush Yashan, watched the entire battle unfold.

    She had barely raised her hand...

    When Tailun was already dead.

    Her pupils contracted violently.

    She quietly lowered her hand again.

    "This tall fellow..."

    "He's terrifying."

    "Retreat."

    "Fighting him isn't worth it."

    Without making the slightest sound...

    Her figure slowly dissolved into the surrounding air until she completely disappeared.


    ---

    Yashan turned and walked toward Ashi's battlefield.

    At that moment...

    A familiar voice suddenly echoed deep inside his mind.

    > "Yashan."



    > "Collect samples of their flesh and blood for me."



    Yashan froze.

    His eyes widened.

    "Boss Wei?"

    He instinctively looked around.

    No one.

    Only then did he remember—

    Boss Wei had once performed an experiment on him.

    Could it be...

    Boss Wei could now speak directly into his mind?

    Suppressing his astonishment, Yashan calmly continued walking.


    ---

    The battle ended far more quickly than expected.

    Against Second-Level Runes, ordinary Level Seven Transcendents were almost completely powerless.

    The difference between possessing runes...

    And not possessing them...

    Was like the difference between heaven and earth.

    Their natural abilities, once considered nearly invincible, became laughably fragile.

    If one lightning strike wasn't enough...

    Then simply use another.


    ---

    Soon...

    The three regrouped.

    Meng Chuan excitedly laughed.

    "Boss Yashan!"

    "These Level Seven Transcendents are much weaker than we imagined!"

    "They collapse after only a few lightning strikes!"

    "We've been worrying for years for nothing!"

    Even now...

    Everything still felt unreal to him.

    If every Level Seven opponent was this weak...

    Why had the Temple Forest Society prepared for so many years?

    Wouldn't they have conquered the world long ago?


    ---

    Yashan shook his head.

    "It's not that they're weak."

    "It's Boss Wei's runes..."

    "They're simply too powerful."

    To Transcendents who relied solely upon their evolutionary abilities...

    Runes were overwhelming.

    As long as they were used correctly...

    They were almost impossible to resist.

    Boss Wei...

    Truly stood at the summit of this world.

    A god in every sense.


    ---

    Meng Chuan glanced toward the sky.

    "So..."

    "What now?"

    Yashan answered calmly.

    "Take the three corpses."

    "We're returning to Elephant Emperor City."

    "We're going to find Xuzi Momo."


    ---

    Threads poured from Ashi's sleeves.

    They wrapped around the three corpses like giant cocoons and suspended them in the air.

    Then...

    The three slowly returned toward Elephant Emperor City.


    ---

    Not far away...

    Momo nearly lost the courage to breathe.

    "They're coming after me..."

    "They actually killed all three..."

    "There's no way I can fight them."

    She immediately abandoned the idea of returning to Elephant Emperor City.

    That would simply be walking into their hands.

    After hesitating briefly...

    She gritted her teeth.

    "The people I contacted should have arrived by now."

    "I'll meet them myself."


    ---

    As the Temple Forest Society expanded...

    The remaining major cities became increasingly uneasy.

    Everyone understood one thing.

    The so-called alliance proposed by the Temple Forest Society...

    Was merely the first step toward annexation.

    None of them wished to surrender the authority they had spent decades building.

    Yet...

    They also couldn't stop the Temple Forest Society's rise.

    Training a new Level Seven Transcendent required enormous resources.

    Even then...

    Success wasn't guaranteed.

    And even if successful...

    Who could guarantee that person would remain loyal?

    Thus...

    Nearly two years earlier...

    The Level Seven Transcendents of every major city had secretly formed an alliance.

    The Anti–Temple Forest Alliance.

    Their objective was simple—

    Resist annexation together.

    Otherwise...

    Each city would eventually be defeated one after another.


    ---

    After Momo disappeared...

    Meng Chuan quietly whispered,

    "Boss Yashan..."

    "She ran away."

    Yashan thought for a moment before replying calmly,

    "So..."

    "They've already joined forces."

    "In that case..."

    "Let's head back slowly."

    "She's probably gone to gather reinforcements."

    "We'll let them come."

    Meng Chuan's face changed dramatically.

    "Boss Yashan!"

    "There are nearly twenty Level Seven Transcendents among the remaining cities!"

    "Shouldn't we retreat first?"

    "Even with runes..."

    "We can't fight six or seven of them at once!"

    Yashan simply smiled coldly.

    "Perfect."

    "We'll eliminate them all in one battle."

    "They've already proven..."

    "They're enemies of the Temple Forest Society."


    ---

    Two days later...

    Yashan, Meng Chuan and Ashi stood silently.

    In front of them...

    More than seventy people blocked their path.

    The three simultaneously felt their scalps go numb.

    Yashan slowly turned toward Meng Chuan.

    His voice was frighteningly calm.

    "Meng Chuan."

    "Didn't your intelligence report say..."

    "There were fewer than twenty?"

    Cold sweat instantly appeared across Meng Chuan's forehead.

    "I..."

    "I didn't expect them to bring all the Level Six Transcendents too..."

    Yashan gritted his teeth.

    "When we get back..."

    "Dock everyone in the Intelligence Department six months' pay."

    Meng Chuan swallowed.

    "So..."

    "What do we do now?"

    "One or two Level Six Transcendents aren't a problem..."

    "But there are dozens of them."

    "We'll be overwhelmed."

    Ashi calmly replied,

    "I can deal with the Level Six Transcendents."

    "The Level Sevens..."

    "I'll leave to both of you."

    Yashan and Meng Chuan shouted together,

    "Keep dreaming!"

    Meng Chuan immediately suggested,

    "Boss Yashan!"

    "Let's escape using the Luxury Airliner!"

    Yashan clenched his fists.

    "I have a plan."

    "We don't need to defeat them."

    "We only need to delay."

    "Protect ourselves."

    "Fight while retreating toward Temple Forest City."

    Meng Chuan's eyes immediately filled with admiration.

    "As expected of Boss Yashan!"

    "Even now you've already prepared a counterattack!"

    The very next second—

    Yashan suddenly raised his head toward the sky.

    Then shouted at the top of his lungs,

    "Boss Wei!"

    "Boss Wei!"

    "Yashan requests reinforcements!"

    "Boss Wei—!"

    Meng Chuan: "..."

    Ashi: "..."


    ---

    At that moment...

    The army opposite finally moved.

    Some disappeared instantly.

    Some flew into the sky.

    Some burrowed underground.

    Others transformed into gigantic monsters.

    Dozens of different abilities erupted simultaneously.

    A massive battle was about to begin.

    Yashan immediately shouted,

    "Stay together!"

    "Don't separate!"

    "Cover one another!"

    "Take the fight into the sky!"

    As soon as he finished speaking—

    The three shot upward.

    Ashi's countless threads wrapped around Yashan, pulling him rapidly into the air.

    Meng Chuan followed closely behind.

    Once airborne...

    More than half of the enemies lost the ability to pursue.

    Only around twenty flying Transcendents continued chasing them.


    ---

    Hidden among the crowd...

    Momo finally relaxed.

    Pointing toward Yashan's group, she shouted excitedly,

    "It's them!"

    "They're the Temple Forest Society's strongest warriors!"

    "As long as we kill them..."

    "The Temple Forest Society will collapse!"

    "Hurry!"

    "Surround them!"

    "Why hasn't the Lifebearer used Space Claw yet?"

    "And where's Quanzi?"

    "Use Flesh Corrosion!"

    "Devour them!"

    Someone in the crowd finally lost their patience.

    "Old woman..."

    "Will you shut up?!"

    Everyone shouted at her simultaneously.


    ---

    Inside the Marble Space...

    Su Hao quietly observed everything.

    Just as he had expected...

    The Level Seven Transcendents of every major city had indeed united.

    Since he had anticipated this possibility long ago...

    His response was equally simple.

    "Then eliminate them all."

    He calmly closed the book in his hands.

    Rose from his chair.

    Walked out of the laboratory.

    Into the courtyard.

    With a light leap—

    He shot over a hundred meters into the sky.

    His body instantly transformed into his Lifebearer form.

    Blood Essence erupted beneath his feet.

    A sonic boom echoed across the heavens as he accelerated toward the distant battlefield.

    The distance between Temple Forest City and Elephant Emperor City was immense.

    Even at Su Hao's maximum flight speed...

    It would still take nearly five hours.

    Which meant...

    Yashan's group only needed to survive for another five to six hours while surrounded by dozens of powerful enemies.

    Whether they could actually last that long...

    Even Su Hao wasn't entirely certain.

    Still...

    The three of them carried enough runes that they shouldn't fall so easily.

    As he streaked across the sky like a black meteor...

    Su Hao quietly smiled.

    "This time..."

    "I'll fight without holding anything back."

    "Let's see exactly where my limits lie."
