Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

The leader of the Bamboo Demons was breathing rapidly and erratically, and his usually calm emerald eyes were now filled with anxiety.

Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point, his mental energy surging towards Lin Xiao like a flood breaking through a dam.

"Brother Lin Xiao, the Wood Soul Domain... is facing an immense crisis!"

Lin Xiao's heart sank. He gestured and led the leader of the Green Bamboo Demon to a quiet room prepared for high-level visitors within the alliance. At the same time, he signaled to Zhuge Duo and the others not to be nervous and to let them do their own thing.

The two had barely sat down when the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons began to speak.

"Four days ago, above the Green Bamboo Forest in the eastern part of the Wood Soul Domain, the void suddenly tore open, and a large number of terrifying creatures never seen before poured out."

He spoke extremely fast, and his mental fluctuations conveyed clear images.

A vast array of dark purple giant insects spewed corrosive slime, a blood-red web woven from scarlet vines blotted out the sky, and two terrifying figures stood tall and imposing.

Lin Xiao's expression hardened as he looked at the two figures that seemed somewhat familiar.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons continued:

"Leading them are two sixth-order beings. One is a shadowy giant formed from pure darkness, who calls himself Grum! The other is a dark golden serpent nearly ten thousand meters long, the Dragon-Eating Serpent Tiamat."

"They all come from a place called Ruins, as if they received some kind of order, and... their target is the faith array at the core of Wood Soul City!"

"A town of faith?"

Upon hearing the target of "ruins," Lin Xiao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Of course, the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued speaking while altering the scene manifested by his spirit.

In the footage, the once lush Wood Soul Domain is visibly transformed into scorched earth, poisonous swamps, and crystalline wastelands.

The areas that were originally affected by the invasion of the Dark Sun Forest.

Through the concerted efforts of all the races in the Wood Soul Domain, the environment, which had been restored to normal, has once again become dilapidated.

Meanwhile, the Dark Corrosion Worms overwhelmed the defenses like a tidal wave, the intoxicating fragrance of the Blood-Weeping Vine drove the warriors into a frenzy of self-harm, and the most bizarre of all was a humanoid creature covered in colorful crystal clusters.

Wherever they touched, the earth, corpses, and even energy were crystallized and devoured.

"Shortly after the last attack on the Dark Sun Forest, the Lord of Wood Soul City was promoted to the sixth rank by the Celestial Venerable."

"Even so, he managed to hold off Groom and Tiamat's offensive only with the help of the Tide Swordsmen who came to reinforce him from the Clear Stream Wilderness. But on the ground..."

The leader of the Green Bamboo Demons sighed, "In just one day, our clan's original Green Bamboo Forest has been completely lost, and the casualties of the Wood Soul Domain warriors have exceeded 30%."

"Due to some restriction, the Celestial Venerable is unable to personally intervene, and traces of ruin creatures have been discovered in the western territory of the Clear Stream Wilderness. The Tide Swordsman must return by tomorrow at the latest!"

His gaze was fixed on Lin Xiao: "Once the Tide Swordsman leaves, Wood Soul City will definitely be unable to withstand the fierce attack of two sixth-tier warriors."

"Therefore, after discussing with the Heavenly Venerable, the city lord ordered me to come here immediately for help."

"Brother Lin Xiao, the Eternal Alliance is the only variable we can think of right now."

"Last time, we joined forces to defeat the Dark Corruption Cult. This time... the fate of the Wood Soul Domain may rest on your shoulders!"

"The predicament that the Wood Soul Domain is facing this time is definitely more serious than the last invasion by the Dark Sun Forest!"

After listening quietly, Lin Xiao's omniscient rules were already quietly operating in her mind. Combined with the information brought by the leader of the Green Bamboo Demon, she quickly sensed the urgency of the situation.

Ruins, taming zone, Groom, Tiamat...

These words were combined with information previously gathered from regulators and from his own observations.

He immediately realized that this was probably not a simple invasion, but rather that the Misty World had undergone an unusually large change.

"No need for further words, lead the way immediately!"

Lin Xiao stood up, his gaze calm and resolute: "The relationship between the Wood Soul Domain and my Eternal Alliance is inherently very good; I understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'!"

The Green Bamboo Demon Clan and the Wood Soul Domain had helped him before, no matter what.

In addition... Lin Xiao felt that there was more to this attack than met the eye.

He did not summon Zhuge Duo and Lü Qiao, nor did he contact the Fire Soul Domain or the Rainbow Cloud Clan.

The insights gained from the Omniscient Rule made him realize that, facing two sixth-tier warriors with strength comparable to Astros and a well-organized group of bizarre races, the participation of ordinary members of the Eternal Alliance would only increase casualties.

Feng Yan and Clan Chief Yun Yin had just experienced a great battle and needed to rest. Moreover, the Fire Soul Domain and the Rainbow Cloud Clan also needed to guard against other potential threats.

"This time I will go alone." After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao sent a message to Zhuge Duo and Sikong Xinyou, and at the same time made arrangements for the alliance during this period.

"The Alliance is on high alert, with all defenses activated. No member is allowed to leave without authorization. The R&D department is intensifying its analysis of the Dark Corrosion Armor fragments, focusing on researching methods to combat corrosion and mental erosion."

"Zhuge Duo, the Eternal Alliance is temporarily in your hands!"

Zhuge Duo hesitated for a moment, but nodded as she watched Lin Xiao's departing figure: "Alliance Leader, please be careful."

As Lin Xiao walked, he looked at the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons and said, "We shouldn't delay, let's set off immediately."

Upon seeing Lin Xiao's agreement, the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons immediately perked up: "This is troublesome!"

The two transformed into two streaks of light, bursting out of the Eternal Alliance and disappearing into the void.

Lin Xiao unleashed his Eternal Domain to envelop them, while simultaneously driving the ultimate in spatial rules and Instant Step, leaving trails of afterimages in the void.

The leader of the Green Bamboo Demons provides guidance, while the omniscient rules act like the most precise navigation, constantly correcting the path and avoiding potential dangers when traversing spatial rifts.

After traveling at high speed for about half an hour, the two had already crossed the barrier separating the Eternal Alliance and the Wood Soul Domain.

Just as they passed through the barrier and stepped into the Wood Soul Domain, the Omniscient Rule suddenly issued a warning.

[Abnormal fluctuations detected in the spatial interlayer at the three o'clock position; a disguised energy field has been detected.]

[At the two o'clock position, in the shadowed area of ​​rubble, life signs are concealed.]

[Judgment: Ambush, two Tier 5 individuals, energy characteristics matching the Crystal Devourer Clan 87%.]

Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold, but his speed increased instead of decreasing. At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons: "There's an ambush. Two fifth-tier demons. I'll handle them. Keep moving forward and don't stop."

Before they could finish speaking, the void ahead suddenly twisted, and two figures appeared without warning, blocking their path.

The person on the left is covered in flowing azure crystal clusters. He is tall and thin, and his hands have transformed into two long swords with constantly growing sharp crystal spikes.

On the right is a short, stocky figure with dark red crystal clusters on his body, like armor, and large fists covered with thick, crystalline gauntlets.

It was two elders of the Crystal Devourer Clan who were ordered to intercept and kill high-ranking targets who might come to the aid of the Wood Soul Domain.

"This road is blocked!" Elder Azure Crystal Devourer's voice was icy as he brandished his crystal blade, causing countless tiny crystal dust particles to spread through the void.

These crystalline dust particles, as if alive, enveloped Lin Xiao and his companion, attempting to attach themselves to and devour the energy of the domain.

The short, stocky Elder Crystal Devourer let out a low roar and unleashed a punch from a distance. A dark red crystalline shockwave arrived first, and even the void itself rippled with solidified, eerie patterns.

If it were an ordinary fifth-tier cultivator, they would inevitably be caught off guard by the double blow of energy devouring and spatial solidification.

However, under the rule of omniscience, the attack trajectories, energy composition, and weak points of the rule of these two Crystal Devouring Elders are all clearly visible.

Lin Xiao didn't even stop walking.

A glimmer of light flashed in the Eternal Domain, and seven phantom images of the Demon-Devouring Shields instantly solidified in front of it. The shields opened their massive mouths, forming a targeted vortex of devouring energy. The countless crystalline dust particles were sucked into the shields as if returning to their nest. Not only did they fail to erode the domain, but they also replenished the energy of the Demon-Devouring Shields.

Faced with this crystal-like shockwave, Lin Xiao raised his left hand and the Star-Breaking Twin Blades appeared in his hand. Under Lin Xiao's control, the blade tips vibrated at a high frequency, carrying a powerful and specialized breaking rule, and gently touched the core energy node of the shockwave.

With a soft "pop," the seemingly powerful crystalline shockwave froze in mid-air, then cracked like shattered glass before collapsing into meaningless energy fragments.

The two elders of the Crystal Devourer Clan were shocked. Their renowned Crystal Devouring and Crystal Impact techniques had been broken so easily.

Before they could attack again, Lin Xiao's figure had already slipped between the two like a ghost.

The Omniscient Rule locked onto Elder Azure Crystal Devourer's energy core, which was an unstable, multifaceted crystal nucleus located in the center of his chest cavity.

His appearance reminded Lin Xiao of a race that had previously attacked the Eternal Alliance.

Then Lin Xiao shook his head and thrust out the Star-Breaking Twin Blades in his hand.

Lin Xiao was so fast that his opponent didn't even have time to react.

"Crack... Boom!"

Elder Azure Crystal Devourer's body trembled violently, and the crystal clusters on his body flashed wildly. Then, a dense cracking sound erupted from within.

He looked down in disbelief, watching the crystal core on his chest rapidly turn gray and disintegrate, along with his entire body, which began to turn into dust.

"How...how is this possible..."

Seeing his companion instantly killed by Lin Xiao, the short and stout Elder Crystal Devourer was terrified and turned to try to escape into the spatial rift.

But Lin Xiao had already thrown out an invisible shackle made of mist chains and gravity gloves with his left hand, completely locking down the space around him.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao's right hand conjured a long spear.

The leader of the Green Bamboo Demon Clan felt that the long spear looked somewhat familiar.

However, in just a moment, Lin Xiao thrust the spear forward in his right hand.

The penetrating rules wrapped around the spear tip pierced directly through the core of the Crystal Devourer Clan elder.

In just two breaths, the Crystal Devourer Elder also fell at Lin Xiao's hands, his life force extinguished.

From the ambush to the killing of the two Tier 5s, the entire process took less than ten seconds.

The battle was over before the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons could even fully stop fighting.

He watched in shock as Lin Xiao waved his hand to collect the two remaining crystal cores, his expression complex: "Brother Lin Xiao, your strength..."

"Slight improvement."

Lin Xiao spoke in a calm tone, as if he had simply swatted two mosquitoes to death.

Indeed, as time went by and Lin Xiao saw more and more props, his strength also grew stronger.

"Let's keep going; we can't afford to waste time in the Wood Soul Domain."

The two accelerated again, leaving the ambushers' remains far behind.

After this battle, the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons felt much more at ease and had even more confidence in Lin Xiao.

More than an hour later, the iconic outline of Wood Soul City, now shrouded in gray and the smoke of war, finally appeared at the edge of the horizon.

The closer they got, the more intense the brutal atmosphere of war became. The air was thick with the smells of corrosion, blood, and strange crystalline dust. In the distance, terrifying energy fluctuations from sixth-order battles erupted from the sky, and the sounds of fighting and screams echoed from the battlefield on the ground.

Lin Xiao and the leader of the Green Bamboo Demon concealed their auras and circled around from the flanks. Relying on the insight of the Omniscient Rule, they avoided several waves of patrolling Dark Erosion Worms and Weeping Blood Demon Vines, and quietly arrived at the outer perimeter of Wood Soul City.

Meanwhile, the once prosperous Wood Soul City has now fully activated its protective formation.

A greenish-blue aura of life energy enveloped the entire city, but the aura was covered with mottled marks of corrosion and crystallization, its brightness fluctuating.

This was all thanks to the Celestial Venerable upgrading the great formation of Wood Soul City; otherwise, it really wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Large areas outside the city have been reduced to scorched earth, with poisonous swamps and colorful crystal lands, and ruins of creature camps scattered like scars.

In the void above the city, the Lord of Wood Soul City and the Tide Swordsman were engaged in a fierce battle with Grum and Tiamat. The battle was at a stalemate, but it was clear that Wood Soul City was at a disadvantage and was barely holding on.

The leader of the Green Bamboo Demons led Lin Xiao directly into the city and arrived at the command hall of the city lord's mansion.

Sensing the presence, the City Lord of Wood Soul City sent a wisp of his divine sense to materialize and descend. Upon seeing the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons and Lin Xiao, his weary face immediately lit up with excitement: "Brother Lin Xiao! You've finally arrived!"

Lin Xiao looked at the city lord and said, "City lord, I have a general understanding of the situation. When will the Tide Swordsmen withdraw?"

"No later than noon tomorrow."

The city lord's divine sense spoke in a heavy tone: "Once he leaves, the ground battlefield will be somewhat better, but in the sixth-tier battlefield in the void, I am absolutely no match for those two!"

Lin Xiao also frowned, pondering a solution, but unfortunately, he didn't have a good one.

"Lord, would it be alright to let that Tide Swordsman return a day later?"

Lin Xiao suddenly hesitated and said.

He remembered that the talent crystal he had obtained from the Celestial Venerable would be deconstructed in two more days.

In this way, his talent for projection and synthesis will be further enhanced.

His omniscient rule also gave him a premonition.

After his talent changes, his rank will be further elevated!

Lin Xiao never expected that he initially obtained the Talent Source Crystal from the Heavenly Venerable.

Now, after going around in circles, he has returned to the Wood Soul Domain, and the talent source crystal that is about to be projected will also be used to save the Wood Soul Domain.

It has to be said that this is a strange kind of fate.

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, the City Lord of Wood Soul City began to think about it seriously.
