"Wait, it seems there are other people nearby."

Victoria suddenly spoke up.

"This area should be the last remaining relatively normal region in this space. Those tenth-order spiritual energy users who survived would naturally find this place. However, if they don't find the correct route, they cannot enter this area."

Lin Ye had established a Parasitism base here. Under the influence of the structure above, this area was isolated from the other regions. To enter, one must first observe the building above and also have a certain understanding of the changes across the entire battlefield and the Parasitism base.

"Are you planning to open a path to leave this space here? If so, it's best to clean up those people outside first. Otherwise, they might cause trouble at a critical moment."

Su Yue tried to open a Mirror Passageway. She had just opened a crack when she closed it again, because the passageway was already packed full with humanoid figures that looked very similar to her.

Those humanoid figures were piled up layer upon layer, looking like some kind of novel dish.

When the passageway opened, hundreds of eyeballs looked towards Su Yue standing outside. It was a scene straight out of a nightmare.

"Don't worry, they can't cause trouble anymore. On the way back here, I already handled all the problems. Now there's only the final step left. But before taking action, I'd like to rest a bit and have something to eat. After all, that structure above might undergo some changes later. You probably also need to make some preparations, right?"

Several parasitic worms crawled out from underground. They carried some tables and chairs collected from the battlefield and placed them beside Lin Ye.

Lin Ye set up the table, took out the delicious meat chunks, and began preparing a late-night snack.

Victoria and Su Yue started preparing for the upcoming battle. Xiao Mei and the Dinosaur Body helped Lin Ye prepare the snack.

The simple late-night snack was quickly ready. Victoria and Su Yue also completed their final preparations.

Actually, there wasn't much for them to prepare, because they didn't even know what was going to happen next.

"Surprisingly delicious."

Su Yue tasted a piece of the delicious meat chunk Lin Ye had pan-fried and praised it. She hadn't expected Lin Ye to be skilled at cooking too.

"Indeed, not bad."

Victoria only took a few bites before putting down her utensils.

Only Xiao Mei and Lin Ye ate with great enjoyment.

By this point, Xiao Mei had already done everything she could. The remaining matters were beyond her ability to participate in.

"Has the scope of this area shrunk a little?"

Victoria suddenly spoke up.

"Correct, I can already see those tenth-order spiritual energy users on the periphery."

Su Yue didn't know what Lin Ye intended to do. Right now, she couldn't judge the situation here based on her perception ability.

"The shrinking is only temporary."

Lin Ye looked into the distance, where a Dark Shadow tens of meters tall stood. The Dark Shadow let out continuous howls towards them, and the howls were becoming increasingly shrill.

It had been howling there for a long time.

"It's telling us to let it in, and saying that if we don't let it in, it will definitely kill us later."

Lin Ye casually translated the Dark Shadow's howls.

"I could guess what it was saying even without your translation. These people all have certain backgrounds. Are you sure you want to completely ignore them?"

Those tenth-order spiritual energy users who survived until now were no pushovers. If she hadn't happened to be with Lin Ye, Su Yue would have become one of them.

"Talk as if I have no background."

Lin Ye almost laughed out loud. He had the backing of the system and had 'friends' in various dangerous Planes. If it came to comparing backgrounds, these people weren't even worth being called small-time thugs.

"Don't underestimate them too much. Perhaps they can't compare to you in terms of survival, but when it comes to causing trouble, they are all experts."

Su Yue didn't believe these people would just watch them escape from here. If they couldn't be taken along to escape, they would definitely find a way to ensure no one could escape.

"She's right. If you have a method to get out, please take us with you. If the number of spots for this method is insufficient, we can discuss who gets to leave." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A humanoid Phantom appeared beside the dining table. It was a Phantom created by a tenth-order spiritual energy user outside.

"I don't have a method to leave right now. Even if I did, I wouldn't take you out."

Lin Ye calmly rejected the other party's proposal.

"These monstrous things are definitely the work of those Planes conducting the ritual. They've long disliked us. This time, they probably want to use us as materials to form more complete Rule Fragments. Even if we can escape, they will have corresponding contingency plans and are likely to ambush us outside. So you need our help. Furthermore, we can also pay a sufficient price to purchase our lives."

The Phantom spoke very earnestly.

They were already at their wit's end. Their only hope lay with Lin Ye. As for the promised things, that was a matter for after getting out.

"You've misunderstood one thing. Is there a possibility that I also want to use you as materials?"

Lin Ye looked calmly at the Phantom. This was a battlefield, after all. The Inheritance Task he previously received was to eliminate all enemies in a war. That was what he had prepared for originally, and the structure above was just a variable.

Those Planes had thoughtfully sealed off this place for him, which allowed him to skip that step.

"...You're truly a Lunatic. Aren't you afraid we'll join forces to eliminate you first?"

The Phantom had already begun communicating with the others.

Before this, it hadn't planned to bring others along at all, since it didn't know how many escape spots there were.

"Believe me, when I engage in dialogue with you, it means everything has already ended. And you can only accept the outcome."

Lin Ye put down the plate in his hand and looked up at the sky.

Pale gray mist drifted in the sky. Embers flickering with firelight fell from above. The phantom of a structure flickered faintly in the sky. Its surface was covered with a large amount of bright red flesh tissue. The entire sky had turned a dark red.

"...What is this? What have you done!"

The Phantom abruptly turned its head to look in the direction where its main body was located. Its body began to twist and deform, quickly shattering and disappearing.

At the same time, all living beings in this space, except those staying within the flesh wasteland, began to fall towards the sky. This fall could not be stopped, because their physical structure was inherently like this.

When they fell to a certain height, they would completely explode, becoming part of the bloody sky.

Their spiritual energy cores had long been transformed into spiritual energy bombs. These spiritual energy bombs would activate upon reaching a certain position.

Falling towards the sky weren't just those survivors and the creatures transformed by the structure, but also the numerous parasitic creatures within the parasitic network. After these creatures exploded, they formed a blood-red sea in the sky.
