Chapter 163, Practical Results

Inside the city of the foreign tribes.

Lin Ran, Zhou Yu, and the Spirit Master returned to the three-story building, where Zhou Yu had prepared many things that could be used in the revision.

Lin Ran continued to use earth and wind spiritual energy to seal the small building to prevent any energy from being transmitted out.

Twenty days later.

"It's done."

Zhou Yu let out a long breath, and a silver rune floated quietly in front of him.

The silver runes were simple, seemingly drawn casually, but they were actually a curse created and perfected by Zhou Yu and the Spirit Lord after nearly two months of hard work, directly or indirectly killing thousands of alien races.

Zhou Yu explained to Lin Ran.

"According to your idea, the current curse is perfectly capable of achieving that."

"Once a curse is cast on a species, it takes shape and spreads to the nearest members of the same species until the entire species is cursed."

"The curse targets the soul. Before it erupts, it can even benefit the soul, enhancing its strength and causing alien races to be subconsciously less wary."

"This greatly reduces the chance of being detected. Theoretically, the strongest being to achieve this is a seventh-tier being, but I don't know if it can actually kill a seventh-tier being..."

After the explanation, Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction.

This aligns perfectly with his plan. After killing the top-tier powerhouses of a particular alien race, the remaining aliens would scatter in all directions, making it easy to eliminate them with curses.

As for whether it will work on seventh-tier opponents, we won't consider that for now, since he himself can't even defeat a seventh-tier opponent.

"Good, let's move on to actual combat. There's a small alien race nearby."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Okay."

……

Three days later,

The hovercar stopped high in the air, and Lin Ran, Zhou Yu, and the Spirit Master stepped out of it.

Below are continuous mountain ranges, and near the center, you can see living creatures moving around.

This is a burrowing creature, ugly in appearance, short in stature, only about half a meter tall, with a triangular head that is larger than its entire body, seemingly designed for burrowing.

"Let's choose this one."

Lin Ran said.

Zhou Yu nodded, and with a light tap of his fingertip, the silver rune shimmered slightly, transforming into an almost invisible stream of light, which imprinted itself on a cave creature.

The cave creature touched its head, feeling a little itchy, but didn't pay attention and continued digging.

A few minutes later, the silver runes adapted to the soul frequency of the cave creatures, merged with them, and began to split.

Zhou Yu sensed the situation, "It has already started to split. At this rate, it shouldn't take more than three days."

Lin Ran: "Then let's wait."

Five days later.

Lin Ran's breakthrough to the third level of the mid-level Awakener shocked Zhou Yu quite a bit. Her improvement speed had obviously dropped by a lot, but Lin Ran was still able to maintain such a speed!

The Spirit Master was making a fuss over nothing; she had been following Lin Ran all along and had witnessed his even more terrifying rate of improvement.

Lin Ran smiled upon learning of Zhou Yu's shock.

"This is a reward bestowed by the human race's mother realm after the annihilation of the alien race. You will also receive it after this battle ends."

"real?"

Zhou Yu expressed her doubts because the path of curses and the human race's mother realm were not so harmonious. She could sense the difficulties in researching curses within the mother realm.

Lin Ran smiled and nodded, pointing to the cave creatures below.

"You'll find out soon enough how much of a curse has infected you."

"Two days ago, the number of curses stopped increasing, which means they must have infected all the cave creatures."

Zhou Yu collected his thoughts and, after sensing the surroundings, spoke.

Lin Ran nodded.

"Okay, let's pack up the net."

then,

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, and a bright silver light floated at his fingertips. An invisible and intangible power spread towards the underground creatures below.

Lin Ran felt a chill in his chest; a massive amount of side effects were being transmitted into his body through the curse.

She mobilized the earth's spiritual energy to create a cage, suppressing all the side effects within it.

The Earth element brings luck, which counters the misfortune that is its side effect. Furthermore, the Earth element has a large size, which can suppress the side effect.

Next, a layer of fire elemental energy, representing a miracle, was placed over the cage, which, combined with the earth elemental energy, enhanced its sealing effect.

After Lin Ran reinforced the cage, his mental energy spread downwards to the area where the cave creatures lived.

The strongest among them is a fourth-tier being; even facing Zhou Yu, let alone him, they would be utterly powerless.

Under the power of the curse, its soul rapidly decayed, like a deflated balloon, all energy and consciousness quickly dissipated, and human faces filled with enjoyment and madness grew out.

The chaotic growth of human faces consumed the souls of the fourth-tier cave creatures in just one or two minutes, leaving behind lifeless bodies.

Then, the curse spread downwards from the fourth-tier creatures, activating the curses in the souls of the cave creatures one by one. The human faces frantically devoured their souls, then devoured other human faces, and finally perished themselves.

There were dozens of Tier 3 cave creatures, but they all died within a minute, followed by Tier 2 and Tier 1 cave creatures.

Zhou Yu unleashed the curse with all his might until he killed the last cave creature.

Lin Ran checked the time; it had taken fifteen minutes!

Zhou Yu clasped her hands together, and a massive amount of silver light gathered in the area below, condensing into her palm and transforming into a transparent glove that enveloped her soft, jade-like fingers.

Lin Ran sensed the side effects, and the total amount was close to half of the cage's limit; it was time to clean it up.

However, before that, we need to deal with the aftermath of the cave creatures.

Zhou Yu lowered her hand, her deathly gray eyes looking at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran nodded slightly, pressed the tips of her index finger and thumb against her brow, and connected her mental energy to a corner of her mental space, where a single, tightly closed golden eye was.

The one-eyed creature twitched slightly, awakening from its deep slumber.

outside world.

In an instant, the void distorted, and a split of the human race's Heavenly Eye appeared out of thin air, its open eyes facing Lin Ran, devoid of any emotion or fluctuation.

Zhou Yu was shocked and confirmed that it was the real human race's Heavenly Eye.

According to the information she had, the requirements for extraordinary individuals to summon the human race's Heavenly Eye are extremely high. Most extraordinary individuals, except for the moment they become extraordinary, are basically unable to make the Heavenly Eye descend and gaze upon them.

Lin Ran nodded to the human race's Heavenly Eye and pointed to the cave creatures below.

"The curse that I, Zhou Yu, and the Spirit Lord jointly researched wiped out a small race. This is the whole story."

He spread his hands, and his spiritual energy transformed into countless images, which flashed by rapidly under the gaze of the human race's Heavenly Eye.

Then, the Heavenly Eye lowered its gaze, and the golden light disappeared into the void.

Lin Ranfa activated his Truth Eye Technique and saw that the activity area of ​​the underground creatures below was shrouded in a golden net completely formed by rules, and the process of their death was being verified.

soon.

The Heavenly Eye raised its gaze, and three golden points of light appeared in its pupils. After a slight sway, they were projected onto the foreheads of Lin Ran and the other two.

Then, it returned to Lin Ran's mental space, slowly closed its eyes, and entered a deep slumber.

Lin Ran touched her brow. The golden light she had received twice was quite a lot, enough for one use.

It took Zhou Yu a while to make a choice after receiving the gift of the Sky Eye for the first time.

Seeing that she was awake, Lin Ran said,

"Let's move to another place first, and then digest it slowly."
