Chapter 166, Annihilation, Approval from the Will of the Human Mother Realm

wilderness.

The projection was shattered by a single punch, the Lion King's consciousness went blank, his soul was severely injured, the raging fire outside the crystal layer dissipated, and the crystal layer itself dimmed considerably.

Lin Ran's figure flashed and appeared in front of the Lion King. Completely covered in golden light, he swung a punch and smashed the crystal layer on the Lion King's head.

The seemingly indestructible crystal layer cracked with a snap and then shattered into countless fragments.

Lin Ran swung his fist again, smashing it into the Lion King's head.

boom!

The lion king's head exploded, and a point of golden light shot out from it, attempting to escape the place, but it was blocked by the golden light and its speed was greatly slowed down to that of a snail.

Lin Ran grasped the golden light in her hand from a distance. Inside the golden light was a transparent miniature lion king, which was also its soul.

The soul is immortal, and upon returning to the ancestral land, it has the opportunity to reshape its body.

The lion king looked terrified and frantically transmitted mental waves, trying to survive in the clutches of the demon.

Lin Ran remained unmoved, and with a forceful squeeze of her five fingers, she caused the Lion King's soul to vanish into thin air!

The portal closed, and the golden light receded.

Lin Ran's breathing returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He took out some resources to refine and quickly restore his strength.

Of all the skills he possesses, the Eight Gates Formation is the strongest when fully unleashed; even the Sword Manual is weaker than it when all gates are open.

However, the energy expenditure was real; in less than a minute, he almost exhausted all his vital energy!

After consuming a batch of resources to restore physical strength, the resources are taken out again to continue refining. The power obtained is stored in a storage space built by the earth's spiritual energy to temporarily seal it in order to prolong the burst time.

After half an hour,

Lin Ran's breathing returned to calm. He looked around and used his Truth Eye Technique to examine every detail.

No further crisis was found. The side effects, which were almost impossible to suppress, only attracted two fifth-tier alien races, which seemed a bit mismatched, but that was the reality.

Lin Ran waited and observed for another hour before turning back to the Illusion Butterfly Clan's territory.

……

The land of the Illusionary Butterfly Clan.

Lin Ran found Zhou Yu and the Spirit Master.

The Spirit Lord immediately came over to check, while Zhou Yu used a curse to confirm Lin Ran's condition. Once he was sure there was nothing wrong with him, he stopped paying attention.

The Spirit Master fumbled around for a while before Lin Ran grabbed her small hand and tapped her forehead.

The Spirit Lord looked at Lin Ran and chuckled.

"Hey, Captain, you smell so good."

"...Let's get down to business first."

Lin Ran shook his head speechlessly, thinking that it must be the residual aura of the Eight Gates Formation that the Spirit Lord had detected.

Qi and blood are a universal energy that attracts living beings. Except for a small number of creatures that are countered by certain attributes, they will attract the vast majority of living beings.

Zhou Yu said,

"The curse has now covered the entire remaining Phantom Butterfly Clan; we can try activating it now."

"Alright, I've killed the Phantom Butterfly Clan Chief too. Let's proceed."

Lin Ran nodded.

Zhou Yu unleashed the curse.

The Butterfly Clan below immediately collapsed one by one.

At first, his breathing became chaotic, then it was like a deflated balloon, followed by a weakening of his vitality, until he died.

Zhou Yu unleashed the curse with all her might.

Lin Ran sensed the rapidly increasing side effects of the curse within her body.

He estimated the remaining Phantom Butterfly Clan members and concluded that the side effects could still be suppressed after all the Phantom Butterflies were wiped out.

time flies.

Without their chieftain and high-ranking beings, the Phantom Butterfly Clan was utterly powerless against the sudden curse.

The Spirit Lord noticed that due to the death of a large number of phantom butterflies, a small portion of them were heading to a certain area from all directions.

"Zhou Yu, slow down, they seem to be heading to the ancestral land."

"it is good."

With guidance from the Spirit Master, Zhou Yu discovered the anomaly and slowed down the onset of the Illusionary Butterfly Curse.

Lin Ranfa activated the Truth Eye Technique to observe the movement routes of the illusory butterflies and find an area that resembled the ancestral land.

On an inconspicuous hilltop, a seven-colored thread that almost solidified into a tangible form was discovered.

Lin Ran took a few steps and reached the top of the hill. She reached out and grabbed the seven-colored silk thread, realizing that it was a power similar to a rule, but not a rule itself.

It seems to be a subordinate substitute for the "rules," and his years and space are completely incomparable to the two rules.

He tried to pull it and found some resistance, so he used the rules of space to extend along the thread and found a seven-colored bead at the end.

Lin Ran used the rules of space to envelop it, and then pulled hard.

The seven-colored bead was instantly pulled from the unknown space and brought to his front.

Zhou Yuling followed and examined the seven-colored beads.

Lin Ran experienced it for a while,

"Items that have been tainted with even a trace of the rules of illusion are also the source of the appearance of the Illusion Butterfly Clan."

"There are remnants of illusionary rules inside. If you sense them carefully, you might be able to obtain a rule. Do you want to give it a try?"

Lin Ran showed the seven-colored beads to the two of them.

Zhou Yu shook her head, "I don't need it, the curse is enough."

The Spirit Lord also shook her head. Her abilities were related to her origin, and mere rule aura was nothing to her.

Lin Ran casually let it float in the air and stretched out her finger to press the silver rune in front of Zhou Yu.

hum~

The runes vibrated slightly, and a large number of the Illusionary Butterfly Clan members immediately fell, their death rate doubling!

In less than ten minutes, the once vibrant land of the Illusionary Butterfly Clan became deathly silent.

Lin Ran touched her brow, activating the Human Race's Heavenly Eye. After a brief explanation, she handed the seven-colored bead to it.

As usual, the Heavenly Eye inspected and confirmed the facts. After absorbing a certain hazy aura, Lin Ran could not see clearly and even doubted that she was seeing things.

Then, the Heavenly Eye gave the three people corresponding rewards. Perhaps because of the seven-colored beads, the rewards this time were much more generous than the last time.

Before falling into slumber, the Heavenly Eye looked at Lin Ran without making a sound, yet all three understood its meaning.

I'm very satisfied; I'll keep up the good work.

After that, the Heavenly Eye closed and disappeared into a corner of the spiritual space.

Zhou Yu said uncertainly,

"Did the Human Race's Heavenly Eye speak to us?"

"Yes, the Heavenly Eye, or rather the will of the human race's mother realm, is very satisfied with us and tells us to keep up the good work."

Lin Ran said with a smile.

The world's will is relative, not absolute; the better the relative performance, the greater the potential and the greater the reward.

If an extraordinary being were to come, a single glance would be enough to annihilate the Illusionary Butterfly Clan, but in that case, they would not receive any reward from the human race's mother realm.

This was also the direction the Alliance decided upon at the very beginning of the Mother Realm's Will, taking into account the various problems that would arise from its future development and expansion.

The world's will is different from the human heart. It is born from the combination of the will and beliefs of the human race, with fixed rules as its framework, and it cannot violate itself.

Unless the mother world undergoes a major change, altering the overall will and beliefs of humanity, it will not shake its decision.

After listening to Lin Ran's explanation, Zhou Yu felt it was like a dream.

In the Mother Realm, curses are not exactly popular; they are certainly widely rejected.

This view held by the vast majority of people also had some influence on the world's will, making development very difficult.

Now, by following Lin Ran, they can receive personal recognition from the rules of the Mother Realm!

After a long silence,

Zhou Yu rubbed her face.

"Captain, what's the upper limit of a curse?"

"In the heart, there is no limit to the heart, and no end to the path."

Lin Ran didn't understand, but blurted it out.

Zhou Yu was stunned, and the Spirit Lord remained silent.

Be quiet for a while.
