Chapter 878: KILLING THE HUISUO RACE GENIUS (VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

Besides the Crystal Race, Lin Qi also encountered other races.

Some were friendly toward the Human Race, exchanging intelligence and helping each other.

Others were hostile; whenever they met, they killed each other.

He had eliminated a large number of them, and the Abyss Tokens and heavenly treasures on their bodies became his spoils.

He also encountered many geniuses from the Nine Supreme Powers.

He made friends with several geniuses and occasionally lent them a hand.

His overall gains were immense.

During this time, he heard from others about several geniuses from the Huisuo Race.

They were powerful, with some being top-tier, and many geniuses from other races had already died at their hands.

Lin Qi himself had encountered one—his strength was too weak.

He easily killed him, thus making an enemy of the Huisuo Race.

It was a pity he hadn't encountered their strongest member; he didn't know if that one had gone to the Core Continent.

"Just collect a few more Abyss Tokens, and I can return to the Sacred Land."

In the blink of an eye, several more months passed, and Lin Qi and Tunxing Beast were fully healed.

They continued collecting Abyss Tokens.

Although Lin Qi wanted to return.

But his current number of Abyss Tokens was still too low—barely one-tenth of the required amount.

He was still far from the 10,000 tokens needed.

And less than 330 years remained until the ruins opened.

He felt an invisible pressure mounting.

He absolutely had to collect all 10,000 Abyss Tokens.

He could only keep gathering them, hunting the Abyss Race.

"Shhh! Shhh!!"

One day, Lin Qi and Tunxing Beast Watching Xiaotian were searching for traces of the Abyss Race.

Suddenly, he frowned, sensing a familiar aura.

"It's Xue Li and Mai De."

Lin Qi instantly recognized their auras—they were rapidly approaching him and his companions.

"Are these two being chased?"

Curious, Lin Qi decided he should go see.

Even if they were Universe Level Five beings, if he and Xue Li teamed up, they might at least hold their own.

Perhaps they could even kill the pursuers and claim a large number of Abyss Tokens.

…

Above an endless expanse of blue ocean,

"Shhh! Shhh!!"

Two streaks of light sped through the sky.

A man and a woman, enveloped in layers of gang jing energy, fled desperately at full speed.

"Sister, when will the starship arrive?"

Mai De, clad in black battle armor, asked anxiously.

Xue Li replied solemnly:

"Soon, very soon."

"But even with a starship, we can't withstand their mental attacks."

Mai De chuckled bitterly:

"Besides, our ship is severely damaged."

"During our escape from the Universe Level Five pursuer, the hull was badly wrecked."

"Its speed has dropped significantly."

"If we summon it now, it might not even fly faster than we do."

"And if we're careless, it'll be blown to pieces."

"We'd be trapped forever—facing the gang wind layer, we'd die or lose half our skin."

"This Abyss Secret Realm is simply too dangerous."

"This is only Continent 98, the outermost continent."

"I can't even imagine how powerful the Core Continent must be."

Not far away, Xue Li's expression grew grim as she spoke:

"Stop talking—I'm thinking."

"Running now is too hard; they're faster than us."

"Their mental weapons are extremely powerful."

"We must find a way to get a powerful expert to help us."

"Otherwise, we're finished."

Her mind raced rapidly.

Suddenly, a powerful mental wave slammed into them.

Their soul cores were protected by their respective mental treasures.

"Crack! Crack!!"

But the glow of their mental treasures dimmed.

"Bad—our mental defense is about to break."

Xue Li silently cursed.

Mental treasures could autonomously defend when attacked.

But activating them consumed mental energy.

The stronger the attack, the more mental energy was drained.

Now, under relentless mental assault, their mental energy was being rapidly depleted.

"Ahh!!"

Both grimaced in agony as searing pain shot through their skulls.

"Worse—they're getting closer."

"We're done."

Mai De's face twisted with despair; he felt the pursuers rapidly closing in.

The distance kept shrinking.

Each meter closer made Xue Li's hope fade further.

She felt her mental energy plummeting, an invisible force pressing down on her heart.

If they got any closer, she'd be pulled into a hallucination.

Once inside, death was certain—her soul core would spontaneously shatter, and she'd die without a sound.

Such was the terror of mental power.

"Wait—!"

Suddenly, her expression brightened; hope returned to her face, her eyes gleaming.

"It's Lin Qi—he's here!"

She sensed the familiar aura.

Beside her, the burly Mai De in black armor also perked up:

"It really is Lin Qi—we're saved!"

He too sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching.

"With Lin Qi and his Tunxing Beast's strength, they can definitely drive off these guys."

Thinking this, both endured the mental assault and accelerated forward.

…

Twenty kilometers behind them, three figures flew like streaks of light.

Their bodies were muscular and upright, standing around 1.8 meters tall.

They wore dazzling battle armors in gold, silver, and blue.

Beneath their feet glided differently shaped flight shuttles, maintaining their blistering speed through the air.

Their physiques closely resembled humans.

But each had three pairs of eyes.

Neatly arranged on their faces, each pupil glowed a different color.

Different elemental forces swirled around them, accompanied by torrents of mental energy.

The man clad in golden armor smiled and said:

"They won't escape."

"Lucky day—we've caught a Human Race star-level genius."

"Such geniuses will attract even more treasures from the Source Core World."

"There might be plenty of Abyss Tokens."

"This time, we'll make a fortune."

Not far away, the blue-armored woman's six eyes shimmered with crystalline blue light, radiating an alluring aura.

She smiled and said:

"Once we kill them, we split the spoils evenly."

"But after this, we should move to another continent."

"The killing has been too heavy; the Abyss Clan's Universe Fifth-Realm beings here are already growing wary."

"They've started forming teams to hunt us outsiders."

"But we have Nam, so we aren't afraid of the Abyss Clan."

At that moment, the silver-armored Huisuo tribesman Nam, whose aura was the strongest among them, spoke:

"Kill these two, then we head to another continent."

"I heard that on Continent 98, there's another human genius capable of slaying Abyss Clan Universe Fifth-Realm beings."

"If we can kill him, the rewards would be unimaginable."

"Unfortunately, we haven't found the killer of Keen."

"He was probably slain by an Abyss Clan Universe Fifth-Realm being."

"Or perhaps by another race's genius?"

As they spoke, the three Huisuo tribesmen accelerated.

Their distance from Xueli and Maide grew ever smaller.

The mental assaults drew ever closer.

Suddenly, the silver-armored Nam frowned and said:

"Something's wrong—two powerful beings are approaching rapidly."

"One is human, the other is beastkin."

At this, the blue-armored woman's expression turned grave:

"Could human reinforcements have arrived?"

"If their numbers grow, they might slip away."

The silver-armored Nam remained calm:

"No matter how many there are, they'll all die under my illusions."

The golden-armored man also smiled:

"That's right—we're Huisuo tribesmen."

"We might even gain extra spoils."

"Beastkin bodies are very valuable."

With that, they sped up; moments later, four figures appeared in their line of sight.

……

"Lin Qi!"

Maide broke into a delighted smile upon seeing them.

The newcomers were Lin Qi and the Stardevourer Watching Xiaotian.

"Long time no see, Maide, Xueli."

"You two seem to be being chased."
