Li Mu took a few pine nuts and chewed on them. With each bite, a strong refreshing sensation surged in his mind, greatly alleviating his nausea and vomiting, at least to the point where it wouldn’t affect his mental state and judgment.

He shared some with Shen Luoyan, whose symptoms were much more severe than his.

“You don’t need to use the Divine Light Seal, just work with Li Mei to restrain it. I’ll take care of it,” said Li Mu, placing the Blade of Annihilation on his shoulder and picking up the water bottle to drink the Sun Spring. In the short battle just now, he had consumed almost half of his psychic power.

This had never happened to him, who was usually abundant in psychic power.

The psychic power required to materialize matter was many times more than that of other orientations. After firing three consecutive psychic energy bullets to suppress the eye, Li Mei chose to use ordinary bullets, saving her psychic energy for emergencies.

Li Mu suddenly felt an invisible beam attempting to penetrate his psychic energy defense and irradiate his soul.

He was about to counterattack with his psychic power.

“Don’t worry, this is my psychic energy beam. I can link the three of us through the beam for real-time long-distance communication,” said Shen Luoyan.

Converting one’s psychic power into a beam and emitting it is a basic skill for psychic-oriented awakeners, but not every psychic-oriented awakener can establish a communication network using psychic energy beams with themselves as the base station.

The psychic energy link was somewhat unstable under the impact of different psychic energies, but Li Mu still heard Li Mei’s voice in time.

“This is the Gaze of the Olden Day Rulers. What should we do? We won’t be able to destroy it in a short time. The sheriff of Avonigarda is on his way here.”

Facing the Gaze of the Olden Day Rulers was still a headache for any awakener.

Although the Olden Day Rulers in foreign domains could not freely enter the wasteland, they could learn about everything happening in the wasteland through their walking believers.

When someone in the wasteland killed believers beyond a certain threshold, the Olden Day Rulers would cast their gaze. Even if the carrier of the gaze was eliminated, the Olden Day Rulers’ believers could still identify the killer’s soul mark.

Li Mei didn’t expect to attract the attention of the Lord of Souls so early. Eastern Xia had also encountered the Gaze of the Olden Day Rulers, but it was only after uprooting an entire parish.

The attention of the Lord of Souls to Avonigarda was extraordinary.

“Where are the sheriffs located?”

It took Li Mu a while to adapt and learn how to communicate through the psychic energy link.

In just a moment, a 3D simulation map composed of light blue lines spread rapidly across the ground in his field of vision, depicting the surrounding terrain.

A fully armed convoy was speeding towards their direction. Both personnel and weapons were highlighted. It was about ten kilometers away from here.

The psychic power of the former ruler was too distinctive, and the psychic-oriented awakeners among the sheriffs noticed it right away.

Li Mu whistled, never expecting that the psychic connection could reach such an extent.

“Boom!”

A strong psychic impact swept through like a storm. Li Mu frowned as the sharp howling almost pierced his eardrums.

The eye with black bloody tears vanished in an instant and flew towards them at an astonishing speed.

“Bang!”

A burst of metallic sparks exploded in the air as the bullet from the rail gun, moving several times the speed of sound, struck the eye. The projectile shattered instantly, but the powerful kinetic energy made the eye pause for a moment.

“Ha!”

Shen Luoyan seized this opportunity, stretching her arms forward, and the immense psychic power instantly turned into a howling blue wind.

The invisible airflow twisted into a dozen wind ropes in mid-air, entwining the rapidly flying eye. The other end of the wind ropes pierced through the ground, firmly anchoring them in place.

Under the erosion of the foreign psychic power, the tough wind ropes quickly broke and collapsed.

A faint static electricity flashed across Li Mu’s body, and he flew like a cannonball.

“Clang!”

The Blade of Annihilation struck the eye. The high-energy shockwave instantly erupted, even shaking the air into white rings.

Li Mu’s strike this time did not use high-frequency oscillations to enhance the blade to try to cut the eye, but rather strengthened the power of the strike with high-energy vibrations.

In the desperate screaming, the eyeball was sent flying like a baseball.

“Accelerate!”

The blue wind surged behind him, and the intense thrust pushed his speed to the limit.

“Clang!”

Another powerful vibration slash, and the eyeball was continuously caught up and sent flying by Li Mu, heading towards the sheriff’s convoy.

……

The sheriff’s convoy was approaching fully armed.

Leading the way were a dozen heavily armored anti-riot vehicles, traveling at high speed in a uniform formation. The operators of the automatic grenade launchers on the turrets were tense, ready to fire at any moment.

Fully armed, the security officers wearing GD-12 heavy-duty military armor stood neatly in the troop carriers.

The black hardened alloy reflected the uneasy expressions of the officers.

At the rear were heavy trailers, each carrying three to four Avadi-8 power armors.

The security forces had deployed all their power armors.

On the second anti-riot vehicle, Della held his head in pain, stopping his psychic wave detection.

The erosion of the foreign psychic energy was too strong; continuing to investigate at this distance would contaminate her psychic energy.

For awakened individuals, having their psychic energy contaminated is extremely dangerous. The lightest consequence would be continuous nightmares and physical discomfort for one to two months, until the foreign psychic energy is eradicated.

In severe cases, they might even be transformed into terrifying monsters without reason by the foreign psychic energy.

“What’s going on?”

Security force captain Babanak clenched his fist tightly.

The appearance of foreign psychic energy in the city of Avonigarda was a truly earth-shattering event.

The psychic energy of the Olden Day Rulers appearing in the wasteland could mean many possibilities. The most dangerous scenario would be the advent of the Holy Son, with the Olden Day Rulers using a human womb to bring a part of themselves to Earth.

Even in the mildest case, it could be a believer using the power of the Olden Day Rulers.

“I’m not sure, but it’s definitely not the advent of the Holy Son. If the Holy Son of the Olden Day Rulers appeared in Avonigarda, I would be insane by now.”

Della rubbed his aching temples.

“As long as it’s not the Holy Son, that’s fine. The recent movements of the Soul Cult have me very worried,” Babanak said.

If there were indeed a Holy Son, even gathering the entire power of Avonigarda Province might not be enough to deal with it.

Suddenly, Della held her head in pain again.

“Not good! The target is rapidly approaching!”
