The appearance of this projection and the elemental army, before those fighting on the front lines like Lin Ran could react, the audience online became agitated:
"Holy crap! It was the aliens pulling the strings all along!"
"Damn it! I knew there was something fishy about such a fierce beast tide attack erupting in a small place like Jianggu City. Eight major alien races attacking at once this time!"
"Let me see... Fire Element, Frost Element, Gold-Jade Element, Gale Element, Grass-Wood Element, Earth Element, Dark Element, Holy Light Element..."
"Huh? Aren't there supposed to be nine elements for the elemental bodies of the aliens? Why are only eight here?"
"Yeah, all eight are here, why isn't the ninth one showing up?"
"Where's the Lightning Element? Check the status of the Lightning Element!"
"With so many elemental aliens, there must be a big plan, right? Could they be targeting God Ran?"
"Oh? You mean their beast tide attack on Jianggu City is a diversion, and their real goal is to kill God Ran?"
"What else? Jianggu City is such a small city, the most valuable existence in it is definitely God Ran!"
"Plus, God Ran's rapid rise must be a huge threat to them... given our irreconcilable relationship with the aliens, they'd be foolish not to be in a hurry!"
"Then God Ran must be careful! Don't fall into the aliens' trap! Otherwise..."
"Ah?! Why is God Ran charging forward instead?! Isn't that too dangerous!"
"..."
To the audience's astonishment, Lin Ran, facing the projected elemental army that blotted out half the sky and the eight eighth-tier elemental commanders, charged forward without hesitation.
Moreover, the smile on Lin Ran's face grew even brighter.
From the moment he first clashed with these ferocious beasts, Lin Ran had discovered that the life force of fallen beasts was being secretly siphoned away by magnetic energy arrays hidden underground.
By tracing the origin of the life force, Lin Ran had also stealthily mapped out the locations of the remaining eight arrays.
Hmph, he knew this beast tide incident wouldn't be so simple.
As expected, it was these remaining eight alien races causing trouble...
Were they trying to rapidly fill the last bit of missing life force through this violent method out of fear of delays?
How naive!
Did they really think he couldn't counter them this way?
Thinking this, it was likely that the elemental bodies led by the elemental commanders themselves were being used to replenish the remaining magic.
Now was the time when they were most occupied and weakest. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he wouldn't be worthy of his name!
With that thought, Lin Ran blinked several times in the air, arriving beside Luo Qingyan and Yaofeng:
"I'll leave this to you two..."
"Even without me, with two hundred and fifty thousand fearless elemental children, defending Changyuan should not be a problem."
"At the very least, they can buy us time."
"Those eight projected eighth-tier elemental commanders in the sky might look intimidating, but their actual combat power is just that, quite weak and insubstantial."
"Not to mention, we have Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, as well as Ye Luosha. Dealing with them is more than enough!"
As he spoke, Lin Ran activated Gan Jiang's sword soul skill, summoning a sword soul, and handed the main body of the Gan Jiang sword into its hand.
This crimson Gan Jiang sword soul possessed combat power close to seventh-tier, and paired with Luo Qingyan's pale purple Mo Ye sword soul, which was close to sixth-tier, it provided two strong pillars for the Changyuan battlefield.
Furthermore, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye sword souls had coordination and combined skills, resulting in an effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Their magic power was also supplied by Lin Ran – Lin Ran could continuously provide his magic power to Gan Jiang, and Gan Jiang could then replenish Mo Ye through their combined skills...
This effectively meant two super-powerful combatants with infinite soul and magic power restoration.
Coupled with the even more monstrous Yaofeng's puppet Ye Luosha, who was invincible below the tenth tier, it would be more than enough to crush those elementals!
Luo Qingyan, while directing the two sword souls to attack the enemy, entered her fallen angel form, summoning a dark attribute light sword, and affixed a pair of holy attribute wings to Yaofeng's small frame:
"With me here, you can rest assured!"
"The matter of the life box should not be delayed either. You don't need to worry about this side!"
Lin Ran smiled with satisfaction:
"Alright!"
"Then I'll go directly to their lair. You two stay here and guard Changyuan..."
With that, Lin Ran did not delay, flapping his wings and quickly flying towards the direction of the first magnetic energy array.
Luo Qingyan quickly walked to the front line, summoning dark attribute meteorites from the sky while controlling the sword souls and directing the elemental children.
Ever since that day when they merged their attributes and jointly acquired the nine major attributes to seize the Lightning Element's life box, they had fully recognized the benefits of attribute combination.
After returning, the two had a thorough and in-depth exchange, forging a shared contract.
This way, Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan could not only temporarily borrow each other's attributes but also transfer life force, magic power, and other energies between them.
However, it was generally Lin Ran who took care of Luo Qingyan more.
After all, Lin Ran's magic power and life force were almost inexhaustible. The extra recovery capacity was going to waste, so it was better to allocate it to Luo Qingyan.
The benefit obtained was that, in addition to borrowing holy and dark attributes.
Luo Qingyan could, through the shared contract, throw various buffs, debuffs, and other auxiliary effects at Lin Ran's side at any time, completing remote energy supply.
This was truly the best of both worlds, complementing each other!
Such a monstrous contract naturally had a seemingly serious side effect...
That is, when one party to the shared contract died, they would also take the other party with them due to the endless devouring of each other's life force.
However, for the two of them, who had passive divine might triggers engraved with transcription seal inscription in their eyes, this was not a problem at all...
Therefore, Luo Qingyan could now use her magic power with great abandon.
Her SSS-class talent, the twin divine angels, along with the top-tier angelic soul bloodline, made her energy density and skill effects truly invincible.
Previously, she often had to consider endurance, so she couldn't unleash her full power...
But now, with Lin Ran acting as a backup hidden energy source, everything was different!
For example, the dark meteorites raining down from the sky – in just a few seconds, nearly a hundred had fallen!
