"Huff... Huff..."

In the silent space, debris from the dome fell silently.

Only the sound of Fang Qingyu's heavy breathing remained.

In the heavenly light, no human silhouette descended.

It seems this time...

The rule of rescuers always arriving at the end of the event didn't apply.

But perhaps it's for the best.

At least no one saw me in this state.

The Black Flame continued to tear and reform at the collar, black sparks continually rising...

Finally understood why.

Tong Ran's skill is called Gonggong's Twelve Tides...

Yet at the start, it could only release three dragons.

Feeling the stabbing pain in his mind.

Fang Qingyu could only use the Mo Thunder to brace himself, preventing a collapse.

After a full release.

He couldn't control the skill's conclusion at all.

Only let it continuously deplete the spiritual power in his mind.

But speaking of Tong Ran and the others.

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Fang Qingyu's eyes.

Struggling against the weakness.

Step by step, he walked back on the path he came.

Just then, who was taking advantage of the chaos, eager to use others' lives to save themselves.

And who was fighting for their life to let everyone survive.

Though unsaid.

He saw it crystal clear.

Half an hour later...

In the vast hall, suddenly came Wu Yan's anxious shout.

"Qingzi!!!"

Along with Qin Qi, Zou Wenbo, and others...

Fang Qingyu wanted to respond.

But now he was completely out of strength to speak, the only reason he dared to return was because of the Blood Burst.

He couldn't just activate Blood Burst to say he was there.

Only using Mo Thunder to knock on the ground.

The result was just a light tap.

The sound of the blade shattering was indeed quite loud.

Wu Yan, who was closest, heard the noise and immediately ran over.

Seeing Fang Qingyu looking all battered.

Tears immediately welled in his eyes, crying out hoarsely: "Qingzi~!!!"

Before Fang Qingyu could come to terms with the broken blade on the ground, he was tightly embraced...

At the same time.

Footsteps immediately swarmed around.

Swish——

A wind rushed in, unusually clear.

Arriving in the blink of an eye.

It was Lin Kang.

The trail of Blood Qi behind him dragged a boiling blood mist ten feet long.

Using the Qi Blood Technique fully to search for him.

True effort was made indeed.

"Is that person still around?"

Lin Kang threw Wu Yan aside and asked warmly.

"Ran away."

Fang Qingyu shook his head.

Lin Kang listened with a frown, but didn't ask further, handing over a small vial, "Here, drink this, have a good rest, don't worry, there are our people everywhere now."

After speaking, Lin Kang disappeared once again on the spot.

Probably went to find that woman.

But...

She would never be found.

Because she was completely incinerated into ashes by the Black Flame.

And that fact.

Could never be disclosed.

Drinking the water from the vial.

Fang Qingyu sat on the ground, feeling the warm currents in his body repairing him, looking at the excited Wu Yan and others beside him.

"Did anything happen to you?"

The team had fewer people now.

Wu Yan smiled.

"We're fine, the remaining Blood Robe People, we fought them off in the end."

"How many died?"

Fang Qingyu asked calmly.

During those three minutes they helped him stall.

He killed over a dozen.

But sixty or seventy were left.

If they charged all at once, the Special Training Class couldn't possibly remain unscathed.

"Sixteen died."

"Tang Lingchuan and Tong Ran were seriously injured, they were sent up for treatment already, results unknown yet..."

Fang Qingyu nodded in understanding.

This result wasn't too bad.

If he hadn't pointed before leaving with the woman...

Far more than 16 would have died.

Since Tang Lingchuan and Tong Ran had a chance for treatment, it meant they had done their part.

"Stop talking, head to the hospital with the rescue team first."

Seeing Fang Qingyu wanting to speak, Wu Yan quickly interrupted.

Urgent footsteps approached.

Familiar figures came into view again.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hui and Zheng Lin were part of the rescue team this time, the two had Fang Qingyu keep silent, fixed him to a stretcher, and immediately started running out.

Fang Qingyu was wondering how to get out.

Only upon exiting the stone door did he realize...

The originally collapsed ground, had a rough staircase miraculously formed, leading step by step up through the hole in the dome.

This kind of power was as terrifying as the flood that swept them here.

"Qin, is the woman sitting in the hall still there?"

Fang Qingyu hesitated slightly, but couldn't hold back the question.

As she was the true divine entity.

And possibly had the power of revival.

If she disappeared...

"Oh, you mean the Divine True Body?"

"Of course it's gone."

Qin Hui, leading at the front, answered matter-of-factly.

If it weren't for being bound, Fang Qingyu would've crawled back to check, but now he could only calmly ask: "Was it taken by someone, or was it gone when you came down?"

"Taken by our people... That's the Divine True Body!!"

"Our Qi Blood Crystals and even higher-level resources, are all cultivated from them, what do you think."

Hearing this, Fang Qingyu let out a sigh of relief.

"You've earned great merit this time, Qingzi."

Zheng Lin couldn't help adding from behind.

"The corpse of a Divine True Body can cultivate many Martial Artists, I guess the top is considering how to reward you."

"Let's talk about it later... I'll sleep for a bit first..."

With the last worry gone, Fang Qingyu's eyelids could no longer resist, and he drifted into a deep slumber.

...

Inside the Earth Palace.

Lin Kang quickly followed the path Fang Qingyu took.

Arriving beneath the dome where the fierce battle took place.

Observing the shattered battlefield, debris from the dome steadily falling...

"Indeed extraordinary..."

With just a glance or two, Lin Kang roughly gauged the woman's combat prowess.

Subsequently, he meticulously searched the area around.

Frowning, he returned to the initial spot.

Staring at the ray of heavenly light above for a long while.

Before long.

The Director of the Divine Management Bureau also arrived with his team.

"Where's that woman's descended form!?"

Wu Yu looked around cautiously at the remnants of the intense battle.

"Gone."

Lin Kang replied calmly.

Wu Yu, upon hearing this, quickly turned back to give instructions: "Investigate the position above this hole, immediately arrange personnel to search, and be careful, avoid direct confrontation."

The people behind immediately turned to carry out the orders.

Leaving only Wu Yu and Lin Kang in the scene for a moment.

Wu Yu sighed with relief, scratching his head, pondering how to report this mission to the higher-ups.

The loss of 16 lives.

Was a fairly terrifying casualty count.

Especially since these people were future prospects.

Meanwhile, Lin Kang recalled something, and pointed seriously to the battle scars around him.

"Director, this time that woman's descended form was already at an Extraordinary Level."

Wu Yu was taken aback, immediately standing up to examine the surroundings.

"Hiss...!"

"It really is!!"

"The candidate you found, fought an Extraordinary Cultist alone!?"

"Yes."

Lin Kang nodded.

"Had it not been for him this time, everyone inside the Earth Palace would've been sacrificed in a blood ritual, leading to her genuine revival."

"Our main battlefield over there likely would've also fallen, maybe even putting the entire city's population at risk..."

Originally, Wu Yu listened intently...

But as he listened further, he felt something was off.

Quickly waving his hands.

"Just get to the point, what credit do you want for him!?"

If he couldn't discern this, he shouldn't have been the director.

However, this time.

Fang Qingyu indeed earned great merit.

Not just saving others' lives, he even brought a Divine True Body for the Federation.

Actively claiming credit is not unwarranted.

Lin Kang pondered for a moment upon hearing this...

Though his expression remained serious, his eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, as he looked at Wu Yu.

"How about the Divine Armament?"

Wu Yu staggered immediately, his reluctant expression turning to terror.

"Are you trying to end my career!?"
