Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

90: Chapter 90: The Last Song of a Lingering Soul and the Escape from the StarsThe rock layer overhead exploded violently, and rubble fell like rain. Accompanied by an arrogant and murderous laugh, five figures clad in black robes and wearing faceless masks descended like life-reaping ghosts!

The leader was still the Late Golden Core Envoy with the dark flame totem carved on his forehead. Behind him, in addition to the two previously injured Early Golden Core subordinates, there were actually two more companions with cold auras and equal Early Golden Core strength! Clearly, the nearby Dark Flame City teams had all been summoned!

The terrifying pressure of five Golden Core Cultivators was almost tangible, instantly enveloping this already oppressive ancient battlefield ruin so tightly that even the air seemed to freeze!

Su Muxue and Lin Mo’s hearts sank to the bottom instantly!

They had just learned those shocking eternal last words and hadn’t even had time to digest them before a fatal crisis struck again! And this time, the enemy’s lineup was even larger and their strength even greater!

”Tsk, you certainly know how to find a place to hide.” The leading envoy’s cold gaze swept over the massive skeletons before finally landing on Su Muxue and Lin Mo. His eyes lingered for a moment on Lin Mo’s increasingly profound light orb, his greed intensifying. ”It seems that wisp of source consciousness didn’t kill you, but gave you some benefits instead? You’re becoming more and more interesting to me.”

He waved his hand ruthlessly. ”Take them! Dead or alive, it doesn’t matter, but that light orb must be stripped away intact!”

At the command, the four Early Golden Core envoys moved instantly! Learning from their previous lesson, they no longer underestimated the enemy. Their figures intertwined, and dark purple miasma surged from their bodies like living things, quickly weaving into a massive net that covered the entire cavern space!

This net was not physical but composed of pure soul-eroding miasma Origin. Countless agonized faces struggled and wailed upon it, emitting a terrifying power that corroded spiritual light and contaminated the Divine Soul. It pressed down slowly from above, intending to trap them completely and slowly refine them!

Meanwhile, the Late Golden Core Envoy formed hand seals. An even more condensed miasma gathered before him, transforming into a twisting, writhing dark purple spear. The spear tip pointed directly at Su Muxue, clearly intended to prevent her from counterattacking again using the sword marks or other means.

There was no escape! No way to block!

Su Muxue’s face turned pale. Under this immense pressure, her recently stabilized injuries worsened again, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of her mouth. She frantically pushed her Lingxiao Sword Intent, her black-green halo desperately holding back the descending miasma net, but it was like an ant trying to stop a carriage—the halo was rapidly being eroded and compressed!

Lin Mo’s light orb flickered violently. His ascended Annihilation Power surged frantically, constantly annihilating the encroaching miasma. However, the energy level of the net woven by the four opponents was too high and its range too vast; he couldn’t fully neutralize it in a short time! Moreover, there was still a Late Golden Core powerhouse watching like a tiger over its prey!

As the miasma net tightened further, the aura of death rushed toward them!

In this moment of despair—

The extremely faint remnant Soul hovering above the half-jade pendant, which was hidden among the massive skeletons and illuminated by Lin Mo’s stellar Core light, seemed to be stimulated by the dense, evil miasma and the familiar, loathsome aura of the Dark Flame City Emissaries. It suddenly erupted with its final and most brilliant light!

”Roar—!”

A roar filled with endless rage and resentment exploded from the remnant Soul! It didn’t travel through the air but echoed directly within the depths of every living Soul present!

In this instant, the remnant Soul burned its final existence, transforming its eternal obsession and protective intent into a pure and glorious light of the stars!

This light was not for attack, nor for defense, but a kind of... resonance! A summons!

Buzz—!!!

Across the entire ancient battlefield ruins, every scattered massive skeleton and every piece of broken armor and weaponry seemed to be briefly awakened from their eternal slumber by this Starlight!

They vibrated in unison, emitting a low and tragic hum! Countless faint but resilient threads of unyielding will belonging to ancient war Souls rose from those skeletons and weapons. Though broken and scattered, they converged into a stream like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surging toward the half-jade pendant and the burning remnant Soul!

”The stars... are eternal!!”

The remnant Soul let out its final cry. The light gathering the wills of countless war Souls erupted, transforming into a massive pillar of pure Starlight that violently shattered the miasma net laid by the Dark Flame City Emissaries and shot straight toward the cavern ceiling!

Boom!

The Starlight pillar was not meant to attack, but to forcibly tear open a brief, extremely unstable... spatial rift at the top of the cavern! Beyond the rift was not rock, but a distorted, blurry void filled with chaotic spatial turbulence!

”What?!” The leading envoy was shocked. He never expected this dead end to hide such a bizarre counterattack! This Stellar Power, condensed purely from the will of ancient war Souls, possessed an Innate suppression over their miasma!

The spatial rift was extremely unstable and fraught with danger, but it was the only way out!

”Go!!!” Lin Mo’s intent exploded like thunder in Su Muxue’s mind!

The opportunity was fleeting!

Su Muxue did not hesitate. The moment Lin Mo spoke, she pushed her speed to the limit, even burning a portion of her essence blood to turn into a beam of light. Holding Lin Mo, she charged resolutely toward the rapidly shrinking spatial rift!

”Stop them!” The Late Golden Core Envoy shouted in rage. He threw the dark purple spear in his hand, tearing through space to pierce toward Su Muxue’s back. Simultaneously, he surged his miasma, attempting to repair the net broken by the Starlight and block their path!

The other four envoys also reacted, frantically pushing their miasma to intercept them.

But at this critical moment, Lin Mo’s light orb suddenly flew from Su Muxue’s arms and positioned itself behind her!

On the surface of the stellar Core, the dark patterns representing the Nirvana True Intent shone brighter than ever before!

He didn’t try to block the terrifying spear head-on. Instead, he condensed all his Annihilation Power into a single point of ultimate ”nothingness,” aiming it at the Core ”consciousness brand” that drove the spear’s transformations and tracking!

”Annihilation—Zero!”

Silently, the incredibly powerful dark purple spear seemed to lose its Soul the moment it was about to hit Lin Mo. It became dull and frozen, the malice and variations upon it completely erased. Although it continued forward due to momentum, it lost its guaranteed hit. It grazed the edge of Su Muxue’s clothes and slammed into the distant rock wall, exploding into a massive crater!

Lin Mo paid a price for this; his light orb dimmed to the extreme, and a tiny crack even appeared on its surface! Forcibly annihilating the Core consciousness of a full-power strike from a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator was an immense burden for him!

Seizing this chance, Su Muxue’s figure finally plunged into the closing spatial rift!

”No!!!” The Late Golden Core Envoy let out an unwilling roar and charged frantically, but he only caught a handful of dissipating spatial turbulence.

After completing its final mission, the burning remnant Soul flickered like a candle in the wind and completely dissipated. Only the half-jade pendant remained, falling to the ground with a clink, its light entirely gone.

Inside the cavern, the Starlight faded, leaving behind only the enraged Dark Flame City Emissaries and the desolate skeletons covering the ground.

The spatial rift vanished completely as if it had never existed... Chaos, weightlessness, and a tearing sensation... these were the only things Su Muxue felt after entering the rift. Her surroundings were filled with bizarre, directionless, distorted colors. Terrifying spatial power tore frantically at her protective spiritual light. The zhenyuan sword hummed incessantly, its Sword Intent compressed to the limit.

She held tightly onto the dimmed and cracked Lin Mo, frantically injecting the residual medicinal power of the earth mother spiritual saliva into him while desperately pushing all her strength to protect herself.

She drifted through the chaotic spatial turbulence for an unknown amount of time. Just as she was about to reach her limit and her protective light was on the verge of shattering—

A faint point of light suddenly appeared ahead!

An exit!

She used the last of her strength to charge toward that point of light!

Poof!

As if breaking through a layer of water, the immense pressure suddenly vanished. Fresh but cold air flooded her lungs. she fell heavily from mid-air and crashed into a knee-deep, freezing mire!

The massive impact made her vision go dark, and she nearly fainted.

The icy mud stimulated her nerves, helping her maintain a sliver of consciousness. She struggled to sit up and immediately looked at Lin Mo in her arms.

Lin Mo’s light orb remained dim, and the tiny crack was heart-wrenching to see. His consciousness seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber due to excessive consumption and trauma, leaving him only able to instinctively absorb the earth mother spiritual saliva’s power for slow self-repair.

”Lin Mo... Lin Mo...” Su Muxue’s voice was hoarse and full of heartache, but she didn’t dare disturb his recovery too much.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and looked around.

This place seemed to be an endless swamp. Cold rain drizzled from a gray sky, and the air was thick with the smell of decay and moisture. The Spiritual Qi was still thin, though slightly better than in the Nirvana Wasteland. In the distance were the blurry silhouettes of mountains covered in twisted, strange trees.

A completely unfamiliar environment.

Where had the spatial turbulence taken them? Was this still within the Western Wastelands? Or somewhere even further away?

She struggled to stand up from the mire and found a slightly drier mound. She carefully placed Lin Mo down and set up a few simple concealment and warning Restrictions. Then, she immediately sat cross-legged, swallowed a Medicinal Pill, and devoted all her efforts to healing and recovering her Spiritual Qi.

No matter where they were, recovering her strength as quickly as possible was the top priority.

Rain soaked her long hair and clothes, cold to the bone, but she was oblivious, her mind entirely immersed in her cultivation.

Time passed slowly. The sky gradually darkened, and the rain grew heavier.

Suddenly, Su Muxue, who was in the middle of healing, snapped her eyes open!

Her Divine Sense captured a tattered bone boat hanging with dim yellow lanterns in the mist of the distant swamp, silently and slowly drifting toward her location.

On the bone boat stood several flickering figures wearing crude leather armor, radiating a cold aura that was not miasma, but certainly not benevolent either.

Their gazes were fixed precisely on the small mound where Su Muxue was hiding.

Clearly, her arrival had already caught the attention of the ”residents” of this place.
