Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears Chapter 246 - 243: The Secret Realm Entrance Closes, Gu Yuex

"Die!!"

Mu Linyuan’s pupils shrank as he madly shoved the terrifying Energy toward Chu Sheng.

"BOOM!!!"

An explosion ten tis more violent than the last detonated in midair!

A blinding light devoured everything, and a violent torrent of Energy swept out in all directions like a tsunami!

The world fell utterly silent!

Even the air, the very dium for transmitting sound, had been incinerated.

Finally, the light faded.

Mu Linyuan hovered in midair, the madness and venom on his face frozen for eternity.

Blood stread from his seven orifices, and the light faded from his eyes.

Then, like a weathered sand sculpture, his body crumbled inch by inch from head to toe, dissolving into a cloud of ash and vanishing completely.

Mu Linyuan was dead—not even a speck of dust remained.

Even the Emperor-level Divine Soul in his Sea of Consciousness had been utterly erased!

As for Chu Sheng...

He was now falling helplessly from the sky.

The crimson glow of the Silent Annihilation Battle Armor receded like the tide, automatically retracting into his body.

The instant he had activated tenth gear, it had drained nearly all of Chu Sheng’s strength.

It wasn’t just his Qi Blood or ntal Power—the Energy in nearly every cell of his body, from head to toe, had been wrung dry.

Even so, tenth gear had only lasted for three seconds, perhaps not even that long.

But it had been enough.

At that mont, an extre sense of weakness washed over Chu Sheng. He couldn’t even twitch a muscle; all he could do was let himself fall.

Just then, Gu Yuexi’s hands caught his body.

"You damn mosquito."

"This ti, I’ll admit you were impressive!"

Inside the Secret Realm, the "eyes" of the Wormhole at the exit were about to close completely.

Just as Gu Yuexi was about to fly toward the Wormhole with Chu Sheng in her arms, his weak voice sounded again. His gaze was fixed on a ring on the ground—the one Mu Linyuan had dropped when he died.

"BUZZ BUZZ (Hey, get the loot!)"

...

「Outside the Secret Realm, on Sunken Star Island.」

Ever since the ssenger entered the Secret Realm to announce its impending closure, people from Yue Country and the Philippines had been trickling out.

Even Adam had erged at so point.

The Cross Sword on his back was a Holy Artifact capable of slicing through Space, granting him a degree of Spatial Movent. Back when Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi were collecting Star Source Crystal Cores, he had already used Spatial Movent several tis to reach the Secret Realm Exit, leaving the Ancient Sunken Star Vein without hesitation.

He hadn’t obtained a single Star Source Crystal Core, but he had already achieved his goal...

As ti went on, all twenty mbers of the teams from the Philippines and Yue Country finally left the Secret Realm, returning to the front of their respective camps.

This ant that of the sixty total competitors, only the last two from Great Xia had yet to erge.

Mu Linyuan and Gu Yuexi.

At this mont, the atmosphere in the Great Xia camp was so tense you could cut it with a knife.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats as they stared intently at the rapidly closing spatial Wormhole.

"Why aren’t they out yet? If they don’t co out now, they won’t be able to!"

"It’s just the two of them left. Please, let nothing have happened to them!"

"Great Xia still has zero Star Source Crystal Cores! What are we going to do?!"

"Exactly! Even if we lose, we can’t lose this badly! If word of this gets out, Great Xia will be utterly disgraced on the world stage!"

Suppressed whispers spread through the crowd.

Never before had they felt so anxious!

anwhile, the camps of the Philippines and Yue Country were a completely different scene.

They were laughing and chatting, their faces filled with undisguised smugness and ridicule as they looked at the Great Xia camp.

"It seems Great Xia’s last two geniuses can’t bear to co out, hmm?"

"I’m afraid they’re staying in there forever! Haha!"

"Totally. Isn’t it normal for a few people to die each year? Maybe they stumbled right into so ancient Killing Array."

"No way. I heard that Gu Yuexi is supposed to be Great Xia’s Future Empress or sothing. Is that all she’s got? Kicks the bucket just from exploring a Secret Realm? Tsk tsk tsk."

The grating mockery was completely undisguised. The people of Great Xia looked grim but had no way to retort.

Everyone was waiting on pins and needles for the final mont.

The Secret Realm was about to close for good.

If Gu Yuexi and Mu Linyuan erged now, Great Xia would still have a sliver of hope. Even if they lost, they could at least save so face.

As the spatial Wormhole of the Secret Realm Exit shrank to a re slit, everyone’s mood sank into utter despair.

"It looks like their odds were not good."

"Did Gu Yuexi really die just like that? Sigh, what a waste..."

"We never should have agreed to bet permanent control!"

Among the ten Patriarchs, so faces were ashen, others spoke with regret. They had all but accepted the fact that they had lost.

Ye Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his expression seemingly calm, but his clenched fists were so tight the knuckles had turned white.

For him, losing permanent control of the Sunken Star Secret Realm was one thing.

But the loss of Gu Yuexi and that Contracted Beast of infinite potential was an even more imasurable blow to Hong Kong Island and to Great Xia!

Among everyone present, only Mu Xiong’s eyes flickered, his thoughts unreadable.

...

「Finally.」

The eye-like spatial Wormhole of the Secret Realm Exit closed completely.

The world seed to fall silent for a mont.

"Sigh..."

Ye Qingzhou let out a sigh, his clenched fists limply falling open.

From not far off, the laughter of the leaders from Yue Country and the Philippines rang out once more.

"Hahaha!"

"City Lord Ye, it seems your country’s final two contestants really aren’t coming out."

The Philippines’ leader, Hu’an, stepped forward with a loud laugh, his gloating tone completely unconcealed.

The leader of the Yue Country team, Ruan Jin, also stepped forward, her voice sinister:

"Since that’s the case, we can begin calculating the results of the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition."

"City Lord Ye, may I ask if any of the contestants from your esteed country managed to collect any Star Source Crystal Cores?"

Ye Qingzhou’s voice was ice-cold as he spat out two words:

"We didn’t."

Ruan Jin chuckled coldly:

"You didn’t? So, that ans zero, correct?"

"A big fat zero?"

"And they call themselves a great eastern power?"

Hearing the final score, the teams from the Philippines and Vietnam erupted in roaring laughter and mockery.

The mbers of the Great Xia contingent, anwhile, had ashen faces. Several contestants were filled with humiliation and anger, clenching their fists tightly but unable to do a thing.

"In that case, can we not declare that Great Xia is officially eliminated from this Three Kingdoms Grand Competition?!"

"City Lord Ye, you may take your people from Great Xia and leave."

Ruan Jin’s tone seed placid, but it carried a clear note of smugness and disdain.

That word, "leave," sounded to the people of Great Xia like "get lost."

Ye Qingzhou gritted his teeth, about to say sothing.

Just then, a voice—cool and calm, yet filled with imnse authority—rang out across the island!

"Who says Great Xia’s score is zero?"
