"The divine crocodile has appeared, but Zhou Yi still lacks the power to protect himself," Li Yu paused his steps upon seeing the divine crocodile's arrival and quickly gave an order to the "Book of Taishang" spirit.
"Spirit of the Book of Taishang, let Zhou Yi exchange for a group protection spell from the Buddhist artifacts, and for offense, let him exchange for sword energy."
Both the protection spell and the sword energy were derived from the physical artifacts Li Yu had collected, thus avoiding the consumption of system energy.
"Even a wealthy family has limited resources! With only a thousand energy points, I need to save them for showing off later. I can't waste them casually," Li Yu chuckled, shaking his head as he continued to walk.
"Strolling on Mars. If a satellite captures this, it would be quite amusing," Li Yu thought mischievously as he walked.
With the system in hand, the Martian environment didn't affect Li Yu. Exchanging a bit of energy for air only cost a few points, allowing him to directly infuse air into his lungs, even saving the effort of breathing.
Well, that's just boredom.
"I'd better hurry to catch the ride," Li Yu couldn't stand the dusty environment of Mars. A streak of sword light shot up as Li Yu flew towards the direction of the five-colored altar.
Near the ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple.
Zhou Yi tightened his heart upon seeing a woman fall lifelessly.
"Spirit of the Book, I need to exchange," witnessing a life vanish before him, fear of death surged in Zhou Yi's heart, causing him to panic.
"Your Majesty, given the current situation, you need to exchange for a protection skill and an attack skill. Please choose," the spirit of the Book of Taishang summoned a light screen filled with various exchange options.
"There are too many, it's overwhelming. Just select some suitable ones," Zhou Yi nearly developed a fear of dense things seeing the packed exchange options.
"Your Majesty, for protection, I recommend the Vajra Blessing spell, and for offense, the Taixu Sword Energy," suggested the spirit.
"Alright, exchange them immediately," Zhou Yi's voice carried urgency. Facing danger, his desire for power was uncontrollable.
"Exchange successful," the spirit of the book waved its hand, and a streak of spiritual light entered Zhou Yi's body. Zhou Yi felt a rush of heat and immense power surging within him.
"Body like Vajra, invulnerable to all evils," a Buddhist chant echoed, and golden light rained down, covering everyone in a radiant golden hue, making them appear resplendent.
"It's actually a group blessing?" Zhou Yi was stunned, quickly questioning the spirit, "This skill is a group blessing? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Your Majesty, don't you need a group blessing? You have a group of subordinates with you," the spirit innocently looked at Zhou Yi.
"Uh, fine," Zhou Yi was speechless.
This was actually Li Yu's doing. Seeing the woman die earlier, Li Yu couldn't bear it. If he could save more people with little effort, why not?
The golden light enveloped everyone, leaving them astonished.
"Ah? What's this?"
"Hey, I feel stronger!"
"Yes, I don't feel tired anymore," the golden light relieved their fatigue and significantly boosted their strength.
"Zhou Yi!" Liu Yunzhi suddenly glared at Zhou Yi angrily, "This golden light is your doing. You must have hidden something! Zhou Yi, how dare you keep it to yourself? Hand it over."
"Zhou Yi? Him?" hearing Liu Yunzhi, everyone looked at Zhou Yi with odd expressions.
"Clang," the golden light on Liu Yunzhi flared up with a bell-like sound, causing him to stagger.
"Zhou Yi, how dare you attack me?" Liu Yunzhi glared at Zhou Yi with bloodshot eyes, full of hatred.
"Fool," Zhou Yi cursed, forming his fingers like a sword and slashing forward.
A sharp sword energy cut through the air with a "swish," blood splattered.
A creature, split in half, fell to the ground.
The creature was about ten centimeters long, as thick as a finger, resembling neither a snake nor a crocodile, covered in black scales, appearing terrifying.
"Ah? What's that?"
"Was this creature attacking us?" seeing the creature's corpse, everyone shuddered. If there were more of them...
"So this is the divine crocodile? It's nothing," Zhou Yi sneered at the creature's remains.
"Run!" someone shouted, and everyone sprinted away.
Even though Liu Yunzhi wanted to pressure Zhou Yi using the crowd, he had to give up temporarily.
"Clang, clang," as they fled, the golden light on some people rang like a bell, causing them to stagger, but the divine crocodile's attack was deflected by the golden light.
Zhou Yi caught up and slashed the creatures with his sword energy.
Soon, they reached the five-colored altar.
"Phew, we finally escaped," everyone panted heavily.
Moments later, the protective light shield began to shrink, leaving only a thin layer around the altar. The rest was engulfed by the sandstorm.
"The five-colored altar is absorbing the light shield's power? The bronze coffin needs this power to continue?" Zhou Yi observed the shrinking light shield, asking the spirit, "Where will the bronze coffin go?"
"Your Majesty, the bronze coffin will reach the Beidou star region."
"Beidou star region? What's it like there?" Zhou Yi's interest was piqued.
"Beidou star region is a world filled with cultivators and heroes. There, Your Majesty can compete with the best," explained the spirit.
"A world of cultivators? Wonderful!" Zhou Yi clenched his fist, feeling his blood boil with excitement.
"Zhou Yi!" Liu Yunzhi's shout interrupted Zhou Yi's thoughts.
"What is it?" Zhou Yi glanced at Liu Yunzhi, indifferent.
"Are you still pretending?" Liu Yunzhi pointed at the golden light on his body, "Did you get this golden spell from the temple? Everyone deserves a share, you can't keep it to yourself!"
"Indeed, this divine fate is for everyone, you can't monopolize it."
"Yes, hand it over!" others echoed.
"You want me to hand it over? Why? If not for me, you'd all be dead by now. Instead of being grateful, you want to rob me?" Zhou Yi's expression darkened.
"This was meant for everyone. Granting us the golden spell is your duty. If anyone else had it, they would protect everyone too," Liu Yunzhi argued righteously.
"Clang, clang," more bell sounds as two classmates near Li Xiaoman and Ye Fan staggered.
"Ah! More creatures are coming."
