Chapter 935: A Death Trap? (Requesting Monthly Votes)

When Lin Qi withstood the psychic storm, all the Huisuo tribe geniuses who had unleashed it froze in shock.

The leader of the Huisuo geniuses, his six silver eyes wide open, exclaimed in disbelief:

“What’s going on?”

“How did this human, Lin Qi, withstand our psychic storm? Even our Huisuo tribe’s Title-ranked Universe Level Five beings couldn’t resist it!”

“He should have been severely wounded by the psychic storm!”

“He might even have died!”

“How did he block it?”

A nearby Huisuo genius frowned and spoke up:

“It must be one of our Huisuo tribe’s spiritual artifacts!”

“In the treasure vault of the Abyss Ruins, we have countless spiritual artifacts of our tribe.”

“Once exchanged, these artifacts greatly enhance spiritual defense.”

“Even a psychic storm can be resisted.”

“Damn it!”

“He has plenty of Abyss Points—he could easily exchange for a spiritual artifact.”

“Lin Qi is fleeing!”

“Chase him!”

Saying this, the Huisuo geniuses stepped onto their flying shuttles and surged forward as streaks of light.

Meanwhile, geniuses from other races also sensed Lin Qi’s departure.

“We cannot let Lin Qi escape—he must die within the Abyss Ruins.”

“Roar! Roar!!”

The monstrous bodies of the demonic race surged into the sky, their movement casting vast shadows that instilled fear, their massive flesh stirring violent gales.

When they suddenly exploded into motion, their speed was astonishing.

Especially the demonic race’s Starfeather Eagle, soaring through the heavens, its enormous wings flared with the reinforcement of Wind and Space Laws—its speed was the fastest.

The Celestial Race geniuses followed closely, still casting their secret technique, the Void Prison, to prevent Lin Qi from using teleportation.

And its coverage spanned hundreds of kilometers—escaping would not be easy.

The instant the five races’ geniuses gave chase:

Yi Ang, clad in silver battle armor, struck at the same moment, his battle blade tearing through space and slashing one of the Celestial Race geniuses.

The opponent’s aura was powerful—he was the strongest among them.

“You think you can hunt Lin Qi without asking me?”

Moreover, Lai Wen, Mi Jia, Fan Zhong, and other geniuses each blocked numerous geniuses from the five races.

But a large number of geniuses had already pursued onward.

Zhong He, the third senior sister, clad in purple-red battle armor and radiating fierce spirit, her face brimming with killing intent, stared at Lin Qi, now a distant black dot.

“Little brother, we can only help you this far—after this, it’s up to you.”

“Boom! Boom!!”

Far away, Jiang Tao, clad in black armor and slaying insectoid warriors, saw this scene and smiled:

“He’s finally passed the hardest stage.”

“Once he leaves the ruins, with his strength, he’ll definitely escape.”

Jiang Miaoyin nearby also nodded:

“With Lin Qi’s strength, he won’t just run away quietly.”

“He’ll definitely choose to slaughter a few geniuses before leaving.”

“Brother, we should leave too!”

“The situation is very unfavorable for us.”

Jiang Tao nodded solemnly; although their human race had many geniuses,

the five races’ geniuses were numerous too, and each was elite.

Especially the Insectoid Queen—her warrior numbers were simply too vast.

The human geniuses were falling behind.

Some races friendly to humans had come to assist.

The Dragon Race geniuses far away did not move, merely observing the battle.

And the Dragon Race genius Xu Ming, seeing this, said:

“Let’s lend the humans a hand!”

“Their situation isn’t good.”

“All voluntary!”

Over a hundred Dragon Race geniuses exchanged glances; some chose to act, intending to aid Lin Qi.

Others declined to help and turned away.

Xu Ming saw this and made no move to stop them.

The Dragon Race was always like this—holding a transcendent status among the myriad races of the universe.

Even a genius like him couldn’t guarantee the others would obey him.

“Roar~”

Xu Ming reverted to his true form, his body nearing ten thousand meters long, coiling fluidly through space.

Silver light shimmered across his body as he released spatial power, transforming it into countless spatial blades that blocked a massive wave of insectoid warrior attacks.

He saved a human genius who had been moments from death.

The Insectoid Queen immediately roared in fury:

“Dragon Race, do you also wish to offend us?”

“Will you truly side with the humans against our five races?”

“Or have you allied with the humans?”

Xu Ming let out a dragon roar, sneering: “You’re nothing but a flea!”

“I help whomever I please!”

“I just feel like killing you today—what of it?”

“What can you do about it?”

With that, he slashed with his claw, tearing through the void—instantly, countless insectoid warriors were sliced into fragments and died.

The Insectoid Queen’s face turned green.

Only then did he remember Xu Ming’s identity.

In this journey through the Abyss Ruins, besides Lin Qi—the strongest genius—

next came Xuan Ge, slain by Lin Qi, then Xu Ming of the Dragon Race.

His combat power ranked third among all geniuses, among the absolute pinnacle.

When Xu Ming and dozens of Dragon Race geniuses acted, the tide shifted slightly.

Yi Ang, seeing this, was also surprised.

“I didn’t expect the Dragon Race would lend a hand.”

Lai Wen transmitted: “The Dragon Race is always like this—they consider themselves transcendent, above all races.”

“They often act on whim.”

“But Xu Ming helping our human race is a good thing.”

Yi Ang gazed at the sky; in his perception, Lin Qi and the geniuses chasing him were growing increasingly faint.

“Over two hundred geniuses have pursued him now—I wonder if he can withstand them.”

“All top-tier geniuses from the five races.”

“With so many attacking, if he’s surrounded, the risk of death is too high.”

“Lin Qi will escape!” Zhong He’s voice rang out—he firmly believed Lin Qi would escape.

After a brief exchange of transmissions, they returned to battle.

This time, they planned to eliminate another batch of five-race geniuses.

After all, the top-tier geniuses had all gone to hunt Lin Qi—the ones left behind were weak.

They would slaughter without mercy.

If they didn’t kill now, it would be harder later.

……

“Shhh! Shhh!!”

At this moment, hundreds of kilometers away, above the Abyss Ruins:

A purple-gold lightning streak tore across the sky, blasting upward with astonishing speed.

Above him loomed dark, oppressive clouds and mist—once he pierced through, he would enter the battlefield.

Lin Qi looked back at the dozens of monstrous demonic race geniuses, along with Celestial, Insectoid, Prison, and Huisuo geniuses.

The total number reached 216.

All had come to surround and kill him.

He halted his body, hovering in the high sky.

At this point, they were over three thousand kilometers from the entrance to the Abyss Ruins.

From this position, it was far enough for him to act.

All 216 geniuses who came here must stay here today.

He felt a slight regret—dozens of geniuses capable of entering the Ten Thousand Tribes Arena had not arrived.
