These beams carried kaleidoscope-like colors, fine As hair, and swift As lightning.

They weren't random shots, but like living entities, precisely covering every corner of the Merfolk Clan!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!"

The beams struck the bone shields in the Merfolk's claws, leaving deep scorch marks.

They grazed fish tails, bringing forth a string of blood beads.

They pierced through the water curtain, causing small-scale energy disorder.

Their individual power might not be fatal, but their terrifying number and comprehensive, no-dead-angle coverage made them a nightmare for the Merfolk.

Countless Merfolk were forced to interrupt their skill releases, switching to defensive skills or raising bone shields to defend clumsily.

Their formation, under the baptism of the beautiful yet deadly rain of light, had already become riddled with holes and utterly chaotic.

Xue Qingting floated at the core of the magnificent killing array, like an artist controlling the galaxy and aurora.

It performed a symphony of destruction with a visual feast, becoming the most heart-pounding sight on the battlefield.

This magnificent yet brutal scene was deeply etched in the eyes and hearts of every Abyssal Mermaid, making them feel a bone-chilling coldness while being awed by its beautiful grandeur.

"Awesome!"

Even Mingxi, who had personally designed the Kaleidoscope Prism Killing Array, was shocked by this scene.

Although they had tested it many times in the Time Realm before, this was the first time in actual combat.

And because the Merfolk Clan had a sufficiently large number, the power unleashed by the Kaleidoscope Prism Killing Array was even more astonishing and impressive.

At this moment, calling Xue Qingting the king of group battles wouldn't be an overstatement, would it?

"Lightning!"

Perhaps stimulated by her brave aunt, Golden Yuanbao, who had been observing the whole situation from above to support other companions at any time, let out a sharp cry.

Anti-Energy Lightning Attraction was quietly activated!

The vast water-element energy and mental fluctuations released by over a thousand Merfolk Clan members, As well As various chaotic energy remnants scattered by companions, were all absorbed by it like rivers flowing into the sea!

"Rumble!"

The seawater outside the City of Eerie Light surged like a waking evil dragon.

Black waves pressed against the city.

Anti-Energy Lightning Attraction itself is a skill whose power increases with the number of opponents and companions.

It could be said that only in a situation like this could its true charm be unleashed.

Lightning Roam.

Annihilation.

"As!"

"Aman!"

In an instant, the Merfolk were almost instantly blasted into dried fish, emitting an enticing aroma of roasted fish.

"Slurp!"

Good heavens.

Mingxi noticed that Bright Crystal actually secretly wiped the drool from her mouth while punching.

You're really hungry.

Mingxi was speechless and quickly communicated with Bright Crystal through their contract and bond:

"My dear, later I'll have the Merfolk girls grill bluefin tuna for you, As much As you want, but you absolutely must not bite the roasted Merfolk. Otherwise, today might not be a competition, but a tribal extermination."

Eating Merfolk is a taboo among taboos for the Merfolk Clan.

Once a Transcendent creature or human violates this taboo, it means becoming an enemy of the entire Merfolk Clan, to the death!

Mingxi was here to save these Merfolk, not to ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) exterminate Black Pearl's kin.

...Poyu (Breaking Prison).

Bright Crystal, having been caught drooling at the roasted Merfolk, was still a little embarrassed.

However, she had a thick skin, so she gave a sinister smile, indicating that she was just a bit hungry because she hadn't eaten enough breakfast.

She certainly didn't think those roasted Merfolk looked delicious!

Mingxi recalled their breakfast today; Bright Crystal alone ate 8 sorrow painting fans, 12 plates of new green sea urchin steamed eggs, 3 plates of mixed dianthus jellyfish, and 2 braised leather prawns.

These foods were special ingredients prepared specifically for them by the Abyssal Mermaid.

It's no exaggeration to say that any one of them would be enough for an ordinary person to buy a house in a bustling area.

Bright Crystal ate several houses' worth of food in one meal.

And she still felt hungry?

Although she had a digestive space built into her Devouring the Heavens and Earth skill, her stomach couldn't be a bottomless pit, could it?

"Poyu (Breaking Prison)?!"

Noticing Mingxi's astonished gaze, Bright Crystal became angry from embarrassment, stating that she was still growing, so what if her digestion was a bit strong?

Alright then.

You look fierce, so whatever you say is right.

Mingxi knew that Bright Crystal was still very sensible and wouldn't actually harm the Merfolk.

"Old fellow!"

"It's time for us to stretch our muscles too."

Qianshan Path was already impatient; if Mingxi hadn't been holding it tightly, it would have already flown out on its own.

"Buzz—!"

This huge long axe felt weightless in Mingxi's hand.

She leaped up and, facing the Merfolk Clan, whose momentum had been sharply reduced by Golden Yuanbao Seven's Impact, she delivered a direct, powerful strike like splitting Mount Hua.

There were no fancy skills, only the purest power!

Qianshan Path, carrying the force of splitting mountains and breaking seas, heavily struck the water curtain Bulwark formed by the Merfolk's formation!

"Boom—!!!"

This was not a single sound.

But the resonance produced by countless skills and attacks exploding simultaneously!

Several powerful attacks from the Merfolk triggered the Triple Gate's critical point, and spatial currents swallowed like an invisible giant beast opening its mouth!

Lan Yue's Ice Buddha Sniping detonated several energy nodes!

Emerald Green controlled the entire field, fully assisting her companions!

Chiyu's Pomie Gun tore through the frontal defense!

Bright Crystal's Nine Consecutive Kills created countless chaos internally!

Xue Qingting's Kaleidoscope Prism Killing Array continuously performed area suppression and cutting!

Golden Yuanbao's Anti-Energy Lightning Attraction, absorbed to its limit, erupted, transforming into a chaotic energy storm that swept everything away!

And Mingxi's Qianshan Path was the last straw that broke the camel's back, carrying her unparalleled brave will, delivering a fatal blow to the Bulwark!

Guangguang was also very busy.

Busy reporting the rewards earned for the duration.

Although with the increase in the level of Golden Yuanbao Seven and others, the income from reward duration became increasingly meager.

But the large number of Merfolk made up for it!

Even mosquito legs are meat, after all.

Even though high-level Transcendent creatures like Saliya had already made their moves, the Merfolk Clan's battle line, under this overwhelming offensive, which could be described As crushing, couldn't even hold on for three to five minutes before emitting a 'tragic wail' of being overwhelmed.

Those connected formations were almost all shattered like glazed tiles, either falling apart or suffering a complete defeat.

"Aman?!"

The shock in Saliya's pale blue eyes was almost palpable.

As a Venerable-level Transcendent creature, she was one of the few among the clan members present who truly saw the terrifying destructive power of Mingxi and her Beast Tamers.

Not to mention the extreme sense of threat brought by that strange lightning, demon, and Flight-type Beast Tamers; the strength displayed by other Beast Tamers was severely inconsistent with their levels.

What was going on with that Beast Tamers that possessed both angel and dragon attributes? If she wasn't mistaken, it was using a God Rank healing skill, wasn't it?

A Bingji Cat with opposing Ice Extremity and fire attributes? It could simultaneously and continuously release Ice Sniper? Is this reasonable?

And what about that being that looked like an insect, had grass, life, and death attributes, yet its aura was even more demonic than a demon? It was clearly Saint-level, so why was its aura subtly stronger than hers?

And that insect and fairy dual-type, what in the world?!

Are there such group-gathering Transcendent creatures?

Is such a heaven-defying combined attack skill normal?

That Steel-type Beast Tamers was also outrageous; one skill instantly killing an existence of the same level is acceptable?

Do you really think you're a fisherman spearing fish?!

Oh, and there was that one-eyed little monster drooling fiercely at her clan members.

Forgive her for her previous poor eyesight; she hadn't noticed before.

Isn't this Gu Guai Zhen Guan?

Heaven, Earth, and Divine Stone Spirit!

Fierce and terrifying!

Saliya had lived for over a thousand years and had once been in contact with the human world, which was why she knew about the existence of Transcendent creatures like Gu Guai Zhen Guan.

She also understood its terrifying nature.

And the incredible fact that it was contracted by a human!

Speaking of humans, the individual combat power of that Beast Tamers named Mingxi was in no way inferior to her Beast Tamers.

Against the Saint-level of the clan, she not only didn't fall behind but even subtly held back some strength!

She had a vague feeling before that their new Empress seemed to be the weakest among this group.

She only attributed this situation to the Empress being young and not having As much training time As other Beast Tamers.

But the current 8 VS 1208, with her clan's momentum and firepower fully unleashed without reservation, yet falling into a disadvantage in a short time, was telling.

The Empress might indeed be an unremarkable existence among these eight Beast Tamers.

One by one, each instance, each Beast Tamers, solidly proved Mingxi's uniqueness As a human, and also proved that her idea of solving the abyssal silence will for them was not mere boasting.

Saliya glanced at the scattered Merfolk, sighed softly, and raised her right arm covered in crystal blue scales:

"...Aman!"

Stop, our clan surrenders!

Although she hadn't unleashed her full strength, she knew very well that with her strength, truly facing that lightning demon great bird, she didn't have a 100% chance of winning.

She didn't even have a 50% chance of winning.

Avian Transcendent creatures already had a natural advantage against their clan, even if this was underwater. But she couldn't possibly remove the city's protective shield and use underhanded tactics like flooding to achieve victory, could she?

So, there was no need to waste any more time struggling in vain.

Even with their advantage of timing and terrain, they still lost without any suspense.

Mingxi, who simultaneously received Black Pearl's translation, spun around on the spot, using clever force to retract the powerful saber momentum of Qianshan Path's strike.

"Everyone, stop!"

Golden Yuanbao Seven only obeyed Mingxi's command, and upon hearing it, they completely ceased their offensive and gathered around Mingxi.

When the light faded,

the entire City of Eerie Light was dead silent.

The Merfolk were trapped in the devastating news of their defeat, 1208 vs 8, and they lost without any room for argument.

In less than ten minutes, nearly half of their thousand clan members had lost their combat effectiveness.

The Emperor-level, Saint-level, and even the Venerable-level Saliya of the clan were suppressed.

Ten minutes!

Not ten hours!

What a disparity in strength!

They never knew they were so useless?

Had the current land-based Transcendent creatures developed stronger growth paths, where each one could rival ten or even a hundred, or had they been trapped in the deep sea for too long, losing their true fighting spirit?

They were lost.

Belief shattered, worldview destroyed.

A group of Merfolk felt As if their clan had been annihilated, filled with bitterness!

Mingxi was oblivious to the 'misunderstanding' she and her group had caused the Merfolk Clan.

She winked at Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green, and the two, understanding, began to cooperate in healing and replenishing the vitality of the more severely injured Abyssal Mermaid.

A slap and then a sweet date, you know.

Totally under control!

Mingxi looked calmly at Saliya and the other clan elders, "Now that we have won, do any of you still have doubts about the matter of the altar?"

Saliya's body trembled slightly.

Destroying the Guardian Altar was not a trivial matter like 'what to eat tonight'.

It was no exaggeration to say that it concerned the lives of their entire clan!

But they would not violate the agreement, even if it was just a verbal one.

A loss is a loss, an agreement is an agreement; the Abyssal Mermaid dared to promise, and naturally dared to acknowledge it!

Even if this human ultimately failed, their clan, risking all their lives, could still temporarily seal the abyssal silence will.

But if she succeeded, then their clan would usher in true freedom!

She looked at several older Merfolk, and after a brief and hurried exchange, they all solemnly nodded.

"Aman!"

Finally, Saliya, representing all Abyssal Mermaid, agreed to Mingxi's request!

Her voice carried a hint of tremor, but more so, a sense of relief and determination at seeing the dawn of hope.

Mingxi let out a light breath.

Now, the pressure was back on her.

Mingxi was not someone who would hesitate or get entangled at crucial moments; once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back.

After discussing the upcoming task arrangements with Saliya and the other Merfolk.

And after enjoying another super meal, Mingxi went on!

"Begin."

Mingxi took a deep breath, her eyes resolute.

She stepped forward, standing on the semi-transparent altar, while twelve Merfolk, led by Saliya, stood around the altar.

Simultaneously activating energy to open the altar.

To bless Mingxi, who was on the altar.

And Mingxi also instantly completed the hand seals, gripping the Sword Key in her hand.

At the same time, she took out the bottle of Nine Revolutions Heavenly Secret Fluid, which had cost Emerald Green a lot of effort to brew.

"Master, cut your palm and drip your blood and the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Secret Fluid together into the center of the altar."

Guangguang said so.

Mingxi unhesitatingly cut her left palm with the Sword Key.

"Drip."

"Drip."

Crimson blood, faintly shimmering with golden light, fell like broken pearls, drop by drop.

At the same time, she tilted the jade bottle, and the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Secret Fluid also transformed into a slender rainbow stream, pouring out with it.

Blood and fluid, crimson and dreamlike, the fervor of life and the etherealness of heavenly secrets, at the moment they fell into the central hole of the altar—

Buzz!!

A silent ripple spread slowly and rhythmically from the altar's center.

The air in the entire City of Eerie Light seemed to solidify, all sounds vanished, leaving only a low, grand hum originating from the world's core.

On the altar, ancient and complex patterns lit up one after another.

The semi-transparent altar was stained with magnificent colors, radiating an incomparably brilliant glow.

Red, orange, gold, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, black... the colors of heaven and earth, like living giant dragons of light, wildly roamed, converged, and spiraled along the patterns, finally gathering at the center of the altar!

And Mingxi's blood and the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Secret Fluid had already perfectly fused within it, transforming into a perfectly round, large, glazed golden pearl.

It, following the trajectory of light, shot up into the sky!
