"With Mingyuan holding steadfast within the country, it also has a stabilizing effect on the overall situation. I suggest we send soone to express our sympathies and see if there’s anything we could do to help them," Fengxue Li Yuan said.
"I agree," Yan Luo was the first to concur.
"I object. Mingyuan’s harmfulness is no less than that of the Shadow Eater. It’s just that one is covert and the other is blatant," Black Phoenix Zhao Chengxi opposed.
Every ti he thought of the battle with Li Chengyi back then, his liver ached.
"There’s no need to worry about Mingyuan for now. The problem at hand is the battle situation..." Dongjun had barely finished speaking.
Wooong!!!
Suddenly, a massive disturbance ca from outside the fortress.
The disturbance shook the fortress, causing it to sway violently.
Everything on the table vibrated and slid to the ground.
"What is this!?" Everyone turned their heads toward the direction of the vibration.
On the wall, a screen of light suddenly appeared, displaying everything in that direction outside.
In the starry sky, within the temporarily dormant Yi Country’s military formation, a massive black vortex had appeared, spinning without warning.
A large number of approaching spaceships and Flying Yi were being sucked into it.
"It’s the Shadow Eater’s mother ship stationed there!!" Yan Luo said sharply, standing up.
Thud!!
Suddenly, a loud heartbeat sound erged out of nowhere in the hearts of everyone present.
In that instant, the expressions of all nine people changed.

Inside the massive nutrient fluid tank.
Li Chengyi was covered in Dragon Scales, with wings slightly fluttering behind him, his eyes tightly shut, and nine antler-like horns extending from the top of his head.
The extensive nutritional repair, coupled with restorative slumber, had his body and spirit quickly returned to their pri.
"It’s ti to pick soone up..."
Gradually opening his eyes, his body enveloped in black shadow, he flickered in an instant and appeared outside the tank.
Grabbing clothes from a nearby rack, Li Chengyi did not linger, going straight out through the safety passage. Unleashing the Void Nightstep Technique, with Blood Essence wrapped around his body, he burst silently out of the base and headed towards the company’s headquarters.
Inside Mingyuan Building, the underground treatnt room.
Paine was lying quietly on the hospital bed, his body connected to life support tubes, and various sizes of sensor patches adhered to his head.
A machine beside him continuously displayed his current state.
Looking at the frail and pale Paine, Li Chengyi extended his hand, with Blood Essence and Radiance Field simultaneously pouring out, enveloping his body.
About several minutes later, Li Chengyi withdrew the Blood Essence Flower Language Technique, ensuring the injuries were fully recovered, and he sighed.
"The rest is up to your destiny... sorry."
The biggest problem with brain damage was the loss and destruction of information.
Ssch.
His figure flashed, and he vanished from the sickroom, heading toward Everpeace Garden.
At a terrifying speed of ten tis the speed of sound, without even causing a sonic boom, the horror of Blood Essence began to show in Earth-Moon, barely tracked by Heavenly Eye.
Only a shadow could be seen entering, and a shadow departing. It was only by slowing down many tis that one could barely make out the details.
Three eleven in the afternoon.
Inside Everpeace Garden.
Li Chengyi appeared at the spot where Da Xiong had vanished. On the grass, Rainbow Candy and Xiao Zhong were quietly speaking, while about a dozen Blind Spot Individuals were testing and preparing sothing.
Seeing Li Chengyi erge, everyone was sowhat shocked. He was so severely injured yesterday, even losing his eyes, and now he was completely recovered!?
"I’m going to Flash Appearance to rescue Da Xiong right now. Get the ergency treatnt ready. If I co back shortly, it’s fine. If I don’t co back for a long ti, all group operations will be on hold until I return!" Li Chengyi instructed quickly.
"Okay!" Rainbow Candy and Xiao Zhong nodded together.
"Good Fortune!" Xindela’s voice ca from a nearby speaker, obviously keeping an eye on the situation here too.
"Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems," Li Chengyi closed his eyes, beginning to move rapidly around the area where Da Xiong disappeared.
He began to activate Flash Appearance, entering the Blind Spot.

In the underground palace.
Boom!!!
A loud explosion erupted as the Blue Armored Giant’s punch collided with Da Xiong’s petite fist.
A large and small arm unleashed terrifying Giant Strength. Da Xiong staggered and was knocked back, her wings fluttering to break the impact, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
She was still being suppressed!
And...
Around her, one after another, Blue Armored Scorpion-tailed Individuals kept appearing, approaching, and converging on her.
But that wasn’t all.
Another Blue Armored Giant, also erging from the darkness in the distance, was continuously moving closer, bringing an imnse deterrent force, and looking over here.
Ssst, ssst, ssst!!!
In an instant, multiple scorpion tails burst forth, raining down on Da Xiong like droplets.
"Thunder..." Da Xiong spread her four arms, nurous Blood Essence surging out, covering her arms as she began to spin rapidly.
Her body spun at high speeds, turning into a column of black shadow.
Dang dang dang dang!!
The dense scorpion tails all around were being blocked, one after another.
But still, there was one that could not be stopped.
Boom!!
The Blue Armored Giant’s scorpion tail fiercely struck towards Da Xiong’s abdon, but it missed. The Giant Strength brushed past him and sent him flying, tumbling into the wall.
Another puddle of blood spilled out.
One of Da Xiong’s wings was broken from the collision, and he fell and rolled on the ground.
Cough cough...
He coughed up blood.
"I... How can I... die here!?"
His vision blurred, and waves of excruciating pain emanated from inside his body.
Da Xiong knew that his demon form was reaching its limit... every genetic cell in his body was sending him urgent signals of distress.
He couldn’t hold on any longer...
He was going to die...
’To die like this... I’d surely be laughed to death by Tang Tang... I can still do this...’
He struggled to stand up...
And knocked aside one of the Blue Armored People who had rushed towards him.
Woo...
In an instant, a massive shadow appeared behind him.
It was the second Blue Armored Giant that had followed up!!
It silently approached Da Xiong from behind and raised the blue giant blade in its hand.
’Da Xiong, do you have soone who is of utmost importance to you?’ Tang Tang’s voice seed to ring in his ear at this mont.
In the haze, Da Xiong felt as if everything around him had co to a standstill.
’I... don’t know....’
"You’re so pretty, how can you have no friends?"
"Maybe... they just don’t like ..."
"Don’t you still have your parents and a younger brother? Aren’t you already very happy?" Tang Tang casually blew a bubble gum, popped it with a snap, and then shoved it back in her mouth to chew again.
"Don’t you have any?"
"My mom didn’t want . My dad told to fend for myself, and then I ran away."
"Aren’t you worried?" Da Xiong, turning around in a daze, saw the figure of the massive Blue Armored Giant and the image of Rainbow Candy appeared before him.
"Worried? You trying to make die from laughter?" Rainbow Candy laughed so hard she bent over backward, "Let share a truth with you, in this world, no one will truly worry about you or care about you besides yourself. Even if they do, it’s only a facade...."
"The one who truly loves you the most is yourself..."
"Is it...?" Da Xiong murmured.
Having no one important, lacking everything he wanted, his life had been filled with fear from the very beginning....
Now, all that was left was despair...
’What exactly am I working hard for?’
’Struggling like this to stay alive, living with such difficulty.... Does it really an anything?’
"Maybe... It wouldn’t be so bad to just die..."
Research, smiles, work; it was all just his continuous facade.
Even the pressure from the Blind Spot couldn’t fill the perpetual emptiness in his heart.
That’s why she followed Rainbow Candy, watching her cry, watching her laugh, her favorite thing was to tease her, to see her lose her temper and explode in rage — these things enabled her to feel that there was still so beauty in life...
But now....
She could no longer hold on....
So tired.
So tired...
Looking at the giant blue cleaver, Da Xiong slowly closed his eyes, his body’s demon form quickly receded, reverting back to his original snowy white body.
Completely relaxed, completely given up everything, at this mont, he felt as though his entire body was imrsed in so kind of hot spring, indescribably comfortable, indescribably warm.
"Is your fleeting glimpse of life over?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice ca from behind him.
"!?!?" Da Xiong’s body shook violently, and he opened his eyes wide and turned around.
The familiar face of Li Chengyi appeared a ter behind him.
Dressed simply in a white shirt and black trousers, his soft short hair fluttered slightly with the air currents.
In this mont, Li Chengyi, surrounded by a multitude of Blue Armored People, seed to be glowing with a golden light.
"I’ve been waiting for you for a while. When you feel life is aningless, why not just keep walking forward?"
Li Chengyi extended his hand and gently ruffled his hair.
"Do you hear it?"
"The joy of the sixty trillion cells within you."
"They’re telling you that they want to live...."
Da Xiong looked at him, looked at the Blue Armored People frozen around them, with a growing layer of ashy white bone material covering them.
That layer of material, like ice and snow, kept spreading from their feet upwards, covering everything.
For a mont, Da Xiong was suddenly a bit stunned?
