Bluestar professionals, using ultrasonic attacks, successfully defeated many elemental giants. However, a dual-element creature, Fen Zhi, ambushed the Shui Long professional Feng Sanyou, bypassing his defenses and nearly killing him before a mysterious figure intervened, stopping Fen Zhi and questioning its actions.

But what functions could this peculiar purple elemental biomonster possess?

It was acutely aware that in the presence of Lin Yi, it amounted to nothing. By uttering words that pleased Lin Yi, it might secure another chance at existence. However, if its words displeased him, its Elemental Spirit Crystal would be extracted in the very next second.

"Esteemed, esteemed boss, I acknowledge my error. I should not have treated this comrade with such ruthlessness."

"I understand I was wrong; please, great boss, grant me a path to survival."

Across the battlefield, both the skilled combatants from Blue Star and the elemental beings from the Elemental Star observed this brief exchange.

The Blue Star professionals regarded the portly Feng Sanyou with considerable envy.

Having Lin Yi as a sworn brother was an unparalleled advantage.

Not only could one follow him to acquire rare resources, but they also enjoyed the benefit of his formidable protection.

Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the Elemental Star seethed with indignation.

The adage that the more formidable and capable a being, the more they clung to life, proved undeniably true.

The conduct of that particular purple elemental biomonster offered ample evidence for this assertion.

Were Lin Yi's pronouncements even comprehensible? They were utterly preposterous.

If one lacked the necessary abilities, why venture onto the battlefield?

When the corpulent Feng Sanyou employed the Ultrasound Spirit Crystal against the elemental giant, who stepped forth to defend the latter?

Thus, it followed that Feng Sanyou could assault beings from the Elemental Star, but the beings from the Elemental Star were forbidden from retaliating against Feng Sanyou? Where lay the logic in such a double standard?

This Burning Essence biomonster was truly pathetic.

To preserve its own existence, it stooped to uttering such ignoble words.

Yet, despite completely abandoning its pride, the Burning Essence biomonster found itself unable to escape its fated demise.

"Hmm, your apology appears exceedingly genuine, and I believe my brother might deem it worthy of forgiveness."

Having delivered these words, Lin Yi cast a discerning glance at the stout Feng Sanyou.

Although Feng Sanyou had no inkling of Lin Yi's underlying intentions, he readily corroborated Lin Yi's statement with a nod.

Upon hearing this, the purple Burning Essence biomonster experienced a surge of hopeful excitement.

The prospect of another chance at life flooded it with a sense of fortunate destiny.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi's subsequent declaration left it utterly stunned.

"No, this will not suffice."

"Did you not claim to recognize your wrongdoing, yet your hand remains raised, poised to strike me?"

Burning Essence biomonster: ???

Why was its hand still elevated, making a threatening gesture toward Lin Yi? Surely, he understood the reason. Had he not employed this 'Law of Reincarnation' to immobilize its movements, its hand would not be held in such a position.

Hearing this, the Burning Essence biomonster immediately attempted to clarify its predicament.

"Great, great boss, I..."

Lin Yi, on his part, fully committed to his aggressive posture.

Before the purple Burning Essence biomonster could utter another word, Lin Yi cut in:

"Why do you falter in your speech? You speak of apologizing, yet your mind is clearly bent on launching an attack. How could I possibly permit a creature like you to depart? Observe, I have already given my word, and yet you have not lowered it. I have made my intentions abundantly clear."

....

The gathered Blue Star professionals, observing the Burning Essence biomonster being thoroughly trounced by Lin Yi, surprisingly felt a flicker of sympathy.

The term 'scoundrel' seemed insufficient to characterize Lin Yi's current actions.

What was the fundamental difference between this and silencing an interrogated individual to extract a confession through brute force?

"Ah, this fellow truly lacks any semblance of morality."

With a gentle sigh, Lin Yi extended his palm and placed it upon the head of the Burning Essence biomonster.

An intense frigidity radiated from his palm, enveloping the entirety of the Burning Essence biomonster's head. In a mere instant, the creature transformed into a perfectly transparent ice sculpture.

Lin Yi casually flicked his finger, and the pitiable Burning Essence biomonster disintegrated into fine dust.

Only a solitary purple Elemental Spirit Crystal, shimmering with residual traces of thunder and fire, remained.

Such audacious conduct and pronouncements ignited a blazing fury within the denizens of the Elemental Star.

However, they dared not make any rash moves.

Lin Yi's effortless dispatching and instant execution of a formidable Burning Essence biomonster showcased his terrifying prowess.

Initiating a conflict with him would undoubtedly be an act of suicidal folly.

The beings of the Elemental Star, while valiant in combat, also possessed the wisdom to recognize that overwhelming adversaries were best left to their most powerful leaders to confront.

Lin Yi extended his hand in a grasping motion, and the aforementioned purple Burning Essence Spirit Crystal descended directly into his palm.

Merely by its outward appearance, Lin Yi could discern that this purple Burning Essence Spirit Crystal was distinct from ordinary Elemental Spirit Crystals.

Indeed, the extraordinary effects revealed after its inspection by the 'Eye of All-Seeing' even elicited an expression of sheer amazement from Lin Yi himself.

[Burning Essence Spirit Crystal]

[Spirit Crystals are produced by high-level elemental creatures originating from the Elemental Star. Upon acquiring a Burning Essence Spirit Crystal, one can fuse their Thunder and Fire Elements, yielding a potent new element: Burning.]

It was no wonder the Five Elements Annihilation Array failed to ensure Feng Sanyou's safety; it turned out this fellow's elements had transcended the typical five elements.

After gathering his thoughts, Lin Yi's gaze rapidly surveyed the horde of Elemental Star creatures.

At that moment, he spotted hundreds of peculiar creatures, akin to the Burning Essence biomonster, within the Elemental Star's army.

The rank of these beings was predominantly high-level.

Most had reached the Ninth Transformation peak stage for Blue Star professionals, with a select few achieving the War God Level.

There were Burning Essence creatures, a fusion of Wind and Fire elements, Gale Creatures born from the union of Thunder and Water elements, and Melting Creatures resulting from the combination of Earth and Fire elements.

"Yi, thank you; I've troubled you to make a special move."

The stout Feng Sanyou sheepishly rubbed his head as he approached Lin Yi, expressing his gratitude.

Having such a formidable elder brother covering for him truly brought immense delight.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi's expression conveyed hesitation.

Did he truly have to shoulder the upcoming battles?

He was acutely aware that special elemental creatures, formed by combining more than two elements, already surpassed the conventional scope of the five elements.

Against such adversaries, the Five Elements Annihilation Array proved utterly incapable of providing protection.

These entities possessed elementalized bodies, rendering them entirely immune to physical damage. Coupled with their formidable elemental properties, they could effortlessly breach the defenses of Blue Star professionals.

Just as Lin Yi contemplated urging Feng Sanyou to retreat and find a suitable vantage point to observe the conflict, a powerful figure materialized behind him without the slightest forewarning.

Buzz!

The ferocious fist wind tore through space, emitting an unsettling vibration as it hurtled savagely towards Lin Yi's head.

Faced with this surprise assault, Lin Yi exhibited no trace of panic.

With a mere thought, an unyielding black shield materialized before him, successfully intercepting the potent blow.

As the shield slowly receded, revealing the individual behind it, Lin Yi was utterly astonished.

How could this be?!

This form—wasn't this a creature from the Ancient Ape Star?

Though the shadowy figure's punch missed its mark, it did not cease its onslaught; instead, it brandished a crude club fashioned from rare metal, bringing it down with full force upon Lin Yi's head.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

While the Eternal Guardian braced to parry the assault once more, three additional robust figures emerged.

They wielded simple yet formidable weapons, veins bulging in their arms, exuding an aura of intent to obliterate Lin Yi in a single, decisive strike.
