Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

A month later.

The sky was like a shattered mirror, with countless dark cracks crisscrossing the clouds.

The hurricane swept across the wasteland with chaotic primal energy, brutally crushing hills and vast swathes of giant beast remains into dust.

With the death of the Crimson Lord, the world's will completely collapsed, and this world reached the end of its lifespan.

In the central square of the Pioneer War Academy in Scarlet Order City.

The massive teleportation array emitted rays of light.

The energy flowing within the array patterns was unstable, and sparks of spatial distortion would occasionally fly from its edges.

The legendary alchemist Yuan Heng, clad in a white robe, stood at the central position.

He looked up at the ever-widening crack above him, his brows furrowed deeply.

"How are the preparations going?"

"My lord, the rules of the Crimson Land are too chaotic right now. We've used up all our energy reserves and barely managed to connect to the Alchemy Realm." A mentor standing nearby was drenched in sweat.

"That's about it." Yuan Heng shook the sand off his sleeves.

The disorder is spreading far faster than expected. If the delay continues, the newly established teleportation channel will likely be severed by the spatial turbulence.

"Prepare to activate interdimensional teleportation."

"yes!"

"Wait a minute!" Ning Wei stumbled and squeezed through the crowd.

Her uniform was tattered, and the hem was soaked with dried, blackened bloodstains—marks left from the past month of fighting her way through the mutated beast tide.

She was panting heavily as she stood at the edge of the magic circle.

"Lin Bai hasn't returned yet."

Yuan Heng's gaze lingered on Ning Wei.

He knew Ning Wei, who was already a seventh-level alchemist at a young age and had a considerable reputation in Scarlet Order City.

"Lin Bai?" Yuan Heng ran the name through his mind, but had no recollection of it.

"What rank of alchemist?"

Ning Wei opened her mouth, but then choked on her words.

What rank... alchemist?

Her mind raced through images of the monster that smashed an eighth-tier Senluo Envoy with a single punch in the Sunset Mountains, and the terrifying shadow that toyed with the Abyss Devourer in the Trial Grounds.

But the problem is... all of these things were done by his two terrifying puppets.

If we disregard those creepy, grotesque puppets and only consider the level of the puppet itself...

"Fifth tier?" Ning Wei tentatively uttered the two words.

When she left the Tongtian Peak Secret Realm, Lin Bai was only at the fourth level.

However, in her opinion, given Lin Bai's terrifying speed of advancement, it should be easy for him to advance another level in a month.

"Fifth rank?" Yuan Heng sighed.

He shook his head and looked away.

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky above, which looked like an apocalyptic painting.

"Given the current situation outside, even a legendary-level alchemist would have a hard time protecting themselves. The probability of a fifth-tier alchemist surviving in this environment... is practically zero!"

Ning Wei clenched his fists and shook his head repeatedly. "He possesses an extremely powerful alchemical puppet..."

"That's enough," Yuan Heng interrupted her, his voice turning cold.

"The spatial array would never continue to consume precious energy for a few individuals. Take her inside."

Several mentors stepped forward and reached out to pull Ning Wei's arm.

"boom--"

A dull tremor rippled outwards from the outskirts of Scarlet Order City.

It wasn't the movement of a magic array; the tremor came from deep within the earth.

Large sections of stone from the city wall crumbled and knocked down a section of temporary camps.

The crowd in the square stumbled and fell, with most of them landing directly on the ground.

"Look over there!" A sharp-eyed pioneer pointed to the outside of the western city wall.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the horizon where sandstorm raged, a colossal object tore through the sandstorm, its outline becoming clear.

It was a dark red giant that was a hundred meters tall.

The giant's body was covered with dark golden lava patterns. As its chest heaved, scorching hot air waves spewed from its mouth and nose, instantly vaporizing the hailstones falling around it.

It stepped over the outer city wall, which was more than ten meters high, as if it were crossing a low threshold.

The violent spatial turbulence cut through its thick body, leaving only a few very shallow white marks.

No one spoke in the square.

Every breath was stretched out infinitely at this moment.

Yuan Heng looked up at the enormous monster that blotted out the sky, its fingers gripping the staff with distinct knuckles.

He could clearly sense that the giant contained a violent power within him that was enough to crush everything.

Crimson Beast?

No, that's not right. This monster doesn't have the unique primal aura of the Crimson Land.

"Lin...Lin Bai?"

"It's Lin Bai! He really did make it back!"

Ning Wei was overjoyed and broke free from the several tutors who were pulling her, quickly approaching them.

The giant stopped on the outside of the square and bent down.

The enormous, dark golden eyeball swept across the densely packed crowd within the magic circle.

Immediately afterwards, the giant laid his hand flat on the ground with the back of his hand facing down.

This palm is over ten meters wide, resembling a small platform.

In the palm of his hand stood dozens of indigenous people dressed in animal skins.

Red Leaf, Red Nanmu, and the remaining members of the Bloodthorn tribe.

The group of villagers, hand in hand, were deathly pale and dared not utter a sound.

At the very front of the crowd, Lin Bai, wearing a long, gold-plated robe stained with black blood, had one leg propped up on the giant's thick thumb, while the other leg dangled freely in the air.

Lin Bai yawned and patted the giant's palm.

Hong Nan cautiously walked to the edge, peered down at the ant-like crowd below, and swallowed hard.

"Lord Lin," Hong Nan's voice trembled, "Are you really going to take us away from this world?"

Lin Bai glanced at her. "What, you still don't believe me now that we're here?"

"Or are you planning to perish along with this world that is about to be destroyed?"

"No, no, no!"

Hongye waved her hands repeatedly when she heard that her daughter had said something wrong.

Approaching Lin Bai, he knelt directly on the ground, "Lord Lin Bai, Bloodthorn, thank you for saving my life."

"From this day forward, we will be your most loyal servants."

"Stop!" Lin Bai waved his hand.

"What do I need servants for?"

"Don't thank me, thank your daughter instead."

"If she hadn't been crying and begging me to go back to Sunset Mountains to rescue you, would I have made this long and complicated trip?"

Lin Bai looked at the teleportation array that was being activated.

"Luckily, I made it in time..."

......

Looking at the wary eyes in the city of Fei Xu, Lin Bai raised his hand.

The towering, dark red giant beside him, hundreds of meters tall, transformed into countless particles of light and vanished into the wind in the blink of an eye.

He took a step and walked towards Yuan Heng at the center of the formation.

"Sorry I got back a little late."

The tone is gentle and equal.

Today, with the power secret body built up from a massive amount of crimson blood, Lin Bai has the qualifications to speak with legendary beings on equal footing.

Although he hasn't yet reached the legendary realm, which is so mysterious and profound, his exaggerated and terrifying power makes it impossible to predict who would win in a real fight.

Yuan Heng stared at the young man in front of him.

The fluctuations of the fifth-order mental energy were clearly visible.

But that monster, who was at the peak of the ninth rank and even touched the threshold of the legendary realm, was truly under his control.

......
