Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Chapter 113 A Realm of Despair

Not only did he not stop, but it seemed that the mound of earth had noticed that they had sensed something was wrong. No one knew what it had done, but the garrison commander turned around and launched a fierce attack on Lu Chenyao and his group.

Forced to defend themselves, the two sides had no choice but to fight.

Fortunately, the benevolent spirit was very effective against ghosts, but less so against humans. This guardian was killed by the Awakened One, who had many tricks up his sleeve, not long after.

Unfortunately, because of the short time lost, the mound of earth used the Yellow Springs vapor to form a barrier, enveloping the talisman.

Because of the excessive power exerted in the attack, the talisman was clearly running out of steam. Although the Yellow Spring Qi was still being scorched by the flames, it could obviously hold out for a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, seemingly wanting to eliminate these small insects first, the mound launched a fierce attack on the Awakened Ones of Aquamarine.

An invisible wave envelops everything.

Countless vengeful ghosts with various appearances appeared all around, surrounding Lu Chenyao and the others like zombies, constantly tearing and gnawing at them.

Fortunately, Lu Chenyao had managed to control multiple benevolent souls and barely grasp the rudimentary form of the ghost realm before he arrived, which allowed him to barely survive under the opponent's ghost realm.

But that's all there is to it.

Even with the help of the awakened ones behind him, his ghost domain could only cover a small area, while the rest of the area was completely covered by the ghost domain of the mound of earth.

They wanted to retreat immediately, but it seemed like they were trapped in a maze, and they kept going around in circles for a long time.

Lu Chenyao actually possesses quite a few good things.

However, ghosts are special by nature, let alone the ghosts that control the ghost realm right now.

Although the items he carried were quite valuable, he had little room to maneuver against this terrifying ghost.

Their only chance of winning now lies in the talisman above, enveloped in the aura of the underworld.

If they can hold out until the seal on the talisman is broken, they might have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, even if they can hold out for a short time, they will be worn down to death.

But soon, a look of despair appeared in the eyes of several awakened individuals.

I don't know what that mound of earth was for.

The sphere of Netherworld Qi in the air moved slowly, and the talisman seemed to be bound by it, also moving outwards.

Although it is not fast, its movement is visible to the naked eye.

It's estimated that in another ten minutes or so, the talisman will be sent outside the Zhongxian Temple, and whether it will still attack the mound of earth in front of it at that time is obviously unknown.

"Damn it, we can't let him succeed."

A flicker of heartache flashed in Lu Chenyao's eyes.

This was his family's trump card for survival, but now it seems he has no choice but to use it.

He could use his trump cards again, but once his life was gone, it was truly gone. He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

With a clench of his fist, he quickly retrieved a silver-gray bead from the system space and held it in his palm.

Thunder Pearl.

This item, produced by a hidden weapon sect in a certain martial arts world, is said to produce the sound of wind and thunder when used. Furthermore, they have secretly stored natural lightning within it.

This thing is quite expensive. The Lu family has also studied it. From the perspective of modern industry, it is not difficult to make. However, its core is the stone inside that shimmers with purple light. This kind of stone is a specialty of that world. Without this core, no matter how good the technology is, it cannot be made.

The power of this thing is similar to that of a hand grenade. Modern weapons are much more powerful than it. In fact, with the Lu family's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to produce prototypes of some advanced weapons.

However, the Blue Ocean Federation had long discovered that due to the differences in the laws of physics, Blue Ocean Federation weapons might cause all sorts of problems when they arrived in the world behind the gate.

Strengthening, weakening, or failing are all possible, and compared to unstable technological weapons, system items that are universally applicable are clearly more suitable as a life-saving trump card.

Lu Chenyao's world clearly has ghosts and monsters. Based on the Ocean Blue Federation's understanding of ghosts and monsters, lightning has been known to have a restraining effect on ghosts since ancient times.

So even though the Heavenly Thunder Pearl wasn't the most powerful among the extraordinary items the Lu family possessed, they still chose it for Lu Chenyao.

Two years into the Lu family's succession, the relationships within the family were complex and intertwined. Even though Lu Chenyao was the eldest son of a branch, he faced significant limitations in terms of resources. Therefore, even if he used this item, it was still very painful for him.

With a gritted teeth.

Accompanied by a click.

Lu Chenyao threw the Thunder Pearl directly onto the mound of earth.

Crackling sounds!

As soon as the lightning bead landed, its surface began to emit tiny arcs of electricity. Then, in the blink of an eye, the arcs around it gradually intensified until they transformed into a dazzling ball of lightning.

Seeing the Yellow Spring Qi being constantly neutralized by the impact of the lightning, Lu Chenyao's face lit up with joy.

"it works!"

But before he could even be happy for a few seconds...

A hand suddenly rose from beneath the massive mound of earth.

It's like swatting a mosquito.

With just a gentle strike, accompanied by a terrifying surge of Netherworld Qi, the ball of lightning flickered a few times like a faulty light bulb before suddenly dimming.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment, Lu Chenyao had no time to feel sorry that his trump card had not worked.

Die, die, die!

Fear surged forth like a tidal wave.

At that moment, he stared at that ordinary hand, which looked calloused, and felt as if he were seeing the most terrifying creature in the world, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

His blood seemed frozen by the cold ice, and his heart felt as if it were being crushed by a heavy boulder. At this moment, even raising his hand was a luxury. If Lu Chenyao was like this, then his teammates behind him were even more so.

Apart from a few individuals with a natural talent for mental strength, most of the others were pale-faced. One of them, who had just exhausted himself, was in the worst condition and fainted immediately.

That hand made no further movements.

It was as if he was just swatting mosquitoes, completely disregarding Lu Chenyao and the others.

Even so, Lu Chenyao's situation deteriorated rapidly.

Because of the shock, even as they gradually adapted, everyone felt mentally exhausted.

Outwardly, Lu Chenyao's face grew increasingly pale, but the nascent ghost domain in front of him was constantly being squeezed and shrunk, and it was clear that it could no longer cover everyone.

"It's over."

Lu Chenyao's heart sank completely.

His trump card was completely ineffective; he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

Judging from the current situation, they can probably still survive for a while, but what's the point?

At that moment, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

And at this very moment.

"It's so lively?"

A somewhat flippant voice came from the doorway.

The moment he saw the figure, a glint of light flashed in Lu Chenyao's eyes, and his reaction was extremely fast.
