The moment she broke through the barrier, before Ye Ling had time to enjoy the joy of victory, a cold breath surged over her like a tide, making her hair stand on end.

"Oh my god! What a horrible place! It's as cold as my refrigerator!"

Duan Yu's mecha followed closely behind, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The space at the edge of the core was in chaos, with distorted light interweaving into strange patterns, as if it would devour everything at any time.

"Ling'er, be careful! There's something..."

Before he could finish his words, a group of strange creatures rushed out from the darkness and surrounded them.

These creatures are pitch black, have sharp claws and fangs, and emit a disgusting stench. It is obvious that they are not good people.

"Oh my god! What the hell is this? It looks uglier than my dark cuisine!" Ye Ling couldn't help but complain.

The dark creatures let out shrill roars and swarmed forward.

Duan Yu's mecha instantly entered combat mode, and the energy sword in his hand was swung into a series of light curtains, dissolving the attacks of the dark creatures one by one.

"Ling'er, cover me!"

"Got it!" Ye Ling's mecha shuttled flexibly among the dark creatures, and the energy cannon in his hand accurately hit their weaknesses.

Explosions rang out one after another, green liquid splashed, and the air was filled with an even more pungent fishy smell.

Renekton, who was standing by, was extremely anxious and wished he could join the battle.

He struggled to stand up, but fell down weakly due to his severe injuries.

"Damn it! He failed at the crucial moment!"

The battle became more and more intense, and the number of dark creatures seemed endless, rushing towards Ye Ling and Duan Yu one after another.

At this moment, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently, and a powerful energy turbulence appeared out of nowhere...

"Ling'er!" Duan Yu shouted in fear, "Be careful—!"

The turbulent energy flow was like a giant beast with bared fangs and claws, instantly swallowing Ye Ling.

Ye Ling felt like she was thrown into the spin dryer of a washing machine. The head was spinning and her internal organs were almost crushed.

"Oh my god! I'm going to vomit!" She held the joystick tightly, her face pale.

The energy shield outside the mecha flickered violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

The energy in the turbulence hit her mecha frantically, making a crackling sound, as if it was going to tear the metal shell apart.

"Ling'er!" Duan Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung the energy sword in his hand more fiercely, trying to break through the encirclement of dark creatures to save Ye Ling.

But these dark creatures were like cockroaches, impossible to kill, and they clung to him, making it impossible for him to move.

"Damn it!" he growled, extremely anxious.

Renekton collapsed powerlessly on the ground, looking at Ye Ling who was swallowed by the turbulent energy, his heart filled with despair.

Is it true that the entire army will be wiped out this time?

In the turbulence, Ye Ling felt her consciousness begin to blur, and a feeling of despair gradually spread.

Is she really going to die here?

No, she won't give up!

She has not yet completed her goal and has not yet explored the mysteries of the world with Duan Yu!

Suddenly, a strong desire to survive surged in my heart.

Ye Ling gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay awake.

Relying on her familiarity with mechas and years of driving experience, she found a relatively stable area in the turbulence.

She took a deep breath and began to adjust the energy output of the mecha, trying to stabilize the body.

Duan Yu and the dark creatures outside stopped moving and looked at the energy turbulence in astonishment.

In the center of the turbulence, Ye Ling's mecha was flashing a faint light, like a small flame struggling to survive in the darkness.

Ye Ling's eyes were filled with determination. She pushed the joystick hard, "I'm going to change my fate!"

Ye Ling's mecha let out a sharp scream, and the ancient mecha core burst into dazzling light.

She was like a meteor, suddenly rushing out from the center of the energy turbulence, leaving a long tail of light behind her, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

"I'm back! Little monsters, prepare to die!"

The energy from the mecha core was injected into every part of the mecha, activating the long-forgotten special skill - "Galaxy Storm".

Ye Ling controlled the mecha, spread his arms, and countless energy beams poured out like a rainstorm, enveloping the surrounding dark creatures.

"Beep, beep, beep! Take my super-invincible light wave cannon!"

The dark creatures were hit by dense energy beams and let out shrill screams.

Their bodies seemed to be corroded, emitting bursts of black smoke, and some even dissipated directly into the air.

Ye Ling shouted excitedly: "Great! One more wave!" She controlled the mecha, rushing left and right among the swarm of dark creatures, like a tiger among a flock of sheep, invincible.

Duan Yu finally got rid of the entanglement of the dark creature. He immediately drove the mecha to Ye Ling and hugged her tightly.

"Ling'er, you scared me to death!" His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of worry and love.

Ye Ling leaned in Duan Yu's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and her tired body and mind were greatly relieved.

"It's okay. Who am I? An indestructible cockroach!" She blinked mischievously, with a relaxed smile on her face.

The two hugged each other for a moment, and Ye Ling suddenly remembered the unconscious Renekton, "Oh! I almost forgot about this kid!" She and Duan Yu hurriedly lifted Renekton onto the mecha and flew towards where Azir was.

They finally found Azir, the ancient interstellar emperor sitting cross-legged on a huge meteorite, exuding an aura of arrogance and mystery.

Ye Ling asked straight to the point, "Azir, do you know what this mysterious power is?"

Azir slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Ling deeply, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Want to know? Sure, but you have to agree to one condition of mine..." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of elusive meaning.

Ye Ling and Duan Yu stood in front of Azir, and a tense atmosphere spread among the three of them...

Azil paused and said, "Unless..."
