"Another hopeful day!"
Su Qingxue threw off the covers, revealing the graceful curves beneath her pajamas. After rubbing her sleepy eyes, she stretched lazily.
"Damn Shen Xuan, stealing my spacious and comfortable master bedroom... sleeping in the guest room is so uncomfortable. Tonight, I must take it back."
While washing up, she glared fiercely through the window at the four-winged angel sitting on the lounge chair.
Last night had been busy nonstop.
Even with her Constitution boosted by leveling up, Su Qingxue felt somewhat exhausted.
What she was grateful for was that after finishing all this, she could quietly stay in her territory and level up!
"With the mist illusion device, it's very safe ~ very stable ~"
Su Qingxue hummed a little tune, thinking that maybe in a thousand or two thousand years, she could truly ascend like the eight Guardians and become a divine-level lord!
After the rookie tournament ended, upgrading the territory to rank 3 would grant a chance to relocate the city, hiding somewhere no one knew to quietly develop!
Opening the lord's loft door, Su Qingxue waved happily at Shen Xuan: "Hello ~ Shen Xuan, good morning!"
"Awake?"
Shen Xuan opened his eyes, smiling with narrowed eyes: "The lord seems very happy."
Who knew if Su Qingxue could keep this calm once the void rift opened.
"Everything's on track, huh!"
Su Qingxue brought over a small stool and sat next to him, absorbing Energy Core, curiously asking, "How... how high is your level now?"
The former was leveling rapidly from sunbathing every day;
Not admitting to envy would be lying!
"I... I'm almost level 30."
Shen Xuan said meaningfully.
"Tch!"
Su Qingxue curled her lips.
Lies!
Even with rapid leveling, it took a month or so for a mythic bloodline to reach level 30.
After level 20, the required upgrade energy increased exponentially!
She guessed Shen Xuan was only around level 21 or 22.
In the ranking match, he relied on that 'special' skill to boost attributes and fight other heroes.
"Never mind!"
Su Qingxue turned her head, focusing on absorbing Energy Core.
Unbeknownst to her, the sneaky player beside her had already taken out the beast-hide-wrapped Energy Cores from under the chair.
"Let's open a... level 20 Rift."
Shen Xuan lightly held a level-2 Energy Core, thinking for a moment, then tossed it onto the ground ahead.
According to the Rift arrangement formation from the post, he accurately threw out the Energy Cores one by one. Within half a minute, 30 level-2 Energy Cores were consumed to set up a complete Rift opening formation!
"Next..."
"Is to use spiritual power to trigger the energy inside the Energy Cores..."
Shen Xuan was quite excited.
He wanted to see what these alien creatures—enough to scare Dragon Star lords—actually looked like.
Crack crack—The moment spiritual power touched the Energy Cores, the thirty translucent spherical Energy Cores trembled like they'd been electrocuted.
Their solid outer shells couldn't handle the internal energy chaos and cracked like glass with spiderweb fractures.
Streams of energy seeped from the cracks.
As the overflowing Energy Core energies connected, The specifically arranged formation immediately took effect!
The linked energy increased.
The Energy Cores finally could not bear the pressure and exploded into fragments.
At the formation's center, a pitch-black tiny dot appeared!
This dot, like a black hole, frantically absorbed the energy core energies frozen in midair around it, growing larger as it absorbed more!
"What's happening?"
The phenomenon finally startled Su Qingxue, who was quietly leveling.
Her obsidian eyes opened wide, looking confused toward the source of the sound.
The black dot, now the size of a basketball, immediately caught her attention.
"This is..."
Su Qingxue's eyes shrank as she recalled the top ten forbidden actions from her text:
Void rifts, monster Quality and skills uncontrollable!
Unless your lifespan is near its end and you must fight with your back to the wall, risking death, you absolutely cannot open one!
"Damn it!"
Thinking she was seeing things, Su Qingxue stared at Shen Xuan, who was still setting up another void rift formation next to her.
"What the hell... Shen Xuan!!! What are you doing?!"
Realizing the severity, she couldn't focus on absorbing Energy Core anymore. Her butt seemed to be on fire as she leapt up!
"Huh?"
Shen Xuan turned with an innocent look: "I saw you working hard leveling, so I found a fast method from the forum."
Hearing that, Su Qingxue's trembling finger pointed at the void rift, stunned: "This... this... this is your method?"
It was over!
The territory's invincible period hadn't even ended.
She might become the first lord in history to die during the invincibility period.
"Yeah, I'll try."
Shen Xuan smiled.
"You... you didn't even read its side effects?"
Su Qingxue almost broke down.
She never expected that giving him an encyclopedia would cause such a big mess.
"Quick! Get out of here! I'll notify the academy to handle these alien creatures!"
Suddenly, Su Qingxue grasped a thread of hope.
Ignoring everything, she grabbed Shen Xuan's hand to leave the territory.
However, he seemed rooted to the chair.
No matter how hard she pulled, he wouldn't budge!
"Shen Xuan, listen! People will die! Really die!"
Su Qingxue's delicate face had turned pale. She bit her silver teeth: "Go! I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You can't die here! Hurry!"
[Your hero, Shigami Yele, has increased affinity due to your actions!]
The territory notification flashed.
Shen Xuan stood up helplessly: "But... it seems it's already too late!"
At his words, Su Qingxue whipped her head around.
The basketball-sized black hole had now grown as large as a door frame!
At this moment... More than ten tall undead creatures cloaked in dense death aura emerged!
