Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 470 – The Arrival of Long Ye

Something was off.

Her appearance had changed. Her racial traits had changed too.

But the Faith Thread deep in his soul was pulled taut, its source anchored squarely on the dragon woman before him.

That bone-deep sense of submission and the familiar aura couldn’t be faked.

“Lily, what happened to you?”

Zhou Ming’s brows knitted tightly, his feet refusing to move forward.

Lin Fan stopped two meters in front of him.

Her high-heeled leather boots clicked sharply against the stone floor.

“A disguise for infiltrating this place.”

Lin Fan’s tone was flat, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

She watched the doubt in Zhou Ming’s eyes.

This guy was slow on the uptake, but his wariness ran deep.

Time was short—she had no leisure to explain the advanced applications of the Skin System with words.

Lin Fan willed it.

The features belonging to “Long Ningshuang” rippled away like water.

A cascade of iridescent pure-white hair poured down, and her Iridescent Astral Eyes revealed themselves.

That face of breathtaking, dimension-defying beauty froze the dim underground beast pen in an instant.

Zhou Ming’s breath caught.

His heart pounded wildly in his chest.

It was her.

The next second, the white hair receded, and green locks with dragon horns re-covered her.

Lin Fan resumed her form as Collateral Dragonkin.

“Now that you’ve seen clearly, stop making a fuss.”

Lin Fan lifted her chin, gesturing toward the massive array five hundred meters wide.

“Get to work. We’re on a clock.”

Zhou Ming took a deep breath and quickly steadied himself.

As a Space-based superpower user, he had an innate sensitivity to spatial arrays.

He walked to the edge of the array, his gaze sweeping over the dark-red rune patterns carved into the ground.

The runes flickered with faint spiritual light, and the stench of blood rushed to meet him.

Finally, his gaze settled on the one hundred and three bone pillars surrounding the outer perimeter of the array.

“This thing has an extremely complex structure.”

Zhou Ming crouched down, pressing his palm against the icy ground.

“A cross-dimensional Teleportation Array—the Energy Circuits far exceed anything Blue Star understands. These bone pillars aren’t just coordinate carriers; they’re also connected to the entire underground Spirit Vein network of White Bone Pass. I’ll need to decode its Spatial Nodes first.”

“The ten lit bone pillars represent coordinates for ten Rifts on Blue Star.”

Lin Fan walked to his side, her gaze fixed on the recess at the center of the array.

“Change all of them to Azurewood City.”

Zhou Ming glanced at the ten bone pillars emitting a faint glow.

They were too far away, and each was surrounded by extremely powerful defensive array patterns.

A red energy barrier flickered faintly in and out of visibility.

“Forcibly altering the coordinates would drain an enormous amount of Mental Strength and Special Ability.”

Zhou Ming stood up, his face slightly pale.

“I’ve been doing continuous Spatial Leaps—my stamina is already at rock bottom. Even with the wristband replenishing Spirit Energy, I can’t sustain this level of decoding computation.”

Lin Fan said nothing.

She raised her right hand, palm facing down.

The innate talent of the Legendary Grade Ancestor of Life roared into motion.

“Life Domain,” activate.

A dense, impossibly rich emerald light erupted from her palm, instantly enveloping Zhou Ming’s entire body.

This wasn’t merely Spirit Energy replenishment.

This was the purest Life Origin.

Zhou Ming felt a warm current surge from the crown of his head straight down to his feet.

His parched meridians were instantly flooded to capacity, and the muscle fibers torn by continuous Spatial Leaps healed at lightning speed.

Fatigue vanished in an instant.

His Mental Strength broke through its previous ceiling, reaching an unprecedented peak of activity.

“Don’t worry about the cost.”

Lin Fan withdrew her hand and crossed her arms, watching him.

“As long as I’m here, you won’t die. Decode it with everything you’ve got.”

Zhou Ming nodded firmly.

He closed his eyes, unleashing the full force of his peak Level 5 Spatial Ability.

Grayish-white spatial fluctuations radiated outward from him, spreading toward the ten glowing bone pillars.

In the distance, the thunderous commotion of the beast hordes from the Southern and Northern Districts was deafening.

The hissing of Venom-Fang Pythons and the crashing of Iron-clad Rhinos merged into a cacophony that shook the entire underground cavern.

In the Southern District, Long Cang gripped his heavy sword and cleaved through an Earth-walking Lizard blocking his path.

His Level 7 mid-stage Spirit Energy erupted as he tried to suppress two completely frenzied Venom-Fang Pythons.

The pythons’ thick tails swept across, smashing large sections of iron cages into scrap metal.

In the Northern District, the Wind-blade Wolf pack and the Iron-clad Rhino herd were locked in a bloody melee.

Blood and shredded flesh flew everywhere.

The six Level 7 guards and sentries were all mired in the quagmire of the million-strong tidal wave of beasts, utterly unable to spare any attention for the commotion around the central Teleportation Array.

This was the absolute vacuum of time Lin Fan had carved out for him.

Zhou Ming’s Mental Strength transformed into countless tendrils that followed the red paint circuits on the ground, forcibly piercing into the first glowing bone pillar.

The defensive array patterns on the pillar’s surface flickered violently, repelling this foreign spatial force.

Ripples spread across the red protective barrier.

“Break!” Zhou Ming growled.

His Spatial Ability condensed into a sharp awl, drilling through the array patterns with sheer force.

Rеаⅾ οn KatRеαԁіngСаfе

A long string of complex spatial coordinate data flooded into his mind.

That was the location of the Rift in the capital of Blue Star.

Zhou Ming clenched his jaw, summoning the Spatial Anchor of Azurewood City from his mind and forcibly overlaying it.

“Hum—”

The light of the first bone pillar dimmed abruptly, then returned to its original brightness.

Unless the Dragon Emperor himself came to inspect, no one would be able to tell that the teleportation destination had already been altered.

One down.

Zhou Ming’s face paled a shade.

Cross-dimensional coordinate tampering placed an immense burden on the brain.

Lin Fan stood behind him, his Life Domain outputting continuously.

Emerald-green motes of light flowed ceaselessly into Zhou Ming’s body, forcibly repairing his damaged cranial nerves.

“Continue.” Lin Fan’s voice was cold.

Zhou Ming did not pause. His Mental Strength tendrils shifted to the second bone pillar.

The chaos in the underground beast pens grew increasingly violent.

In the Eastern District, Iron-Wing Bats had broken through part of the netting and began circling near the cavern ceiling.

Their piercing sonic attacks caused cracks to form in the rock above.

Debris fell from the ceiling, striking the edges of the array.

Lin Fan looked up, his gaze calm.

Time passed.

Third pillar.

Fourth pillar.

Fifth pillar.

Blood began seeping from Zhou Ming’s seven orifices.

For a peak Level 5 cultivator to tamper with a Level 8 array—even with Lin Fan’s Life Domain backing him up—the collision of rules across tiers still inflicted tremendous suffering.

He made no sound.

Lily was watching him.

He had to complete the mission.

The eighth bone pillar was converted.

Ninth.

Zhou Ming’s body swayed violently, and he dropped to one knee.

His hands remained pressed firmly against the array circuits.

The red paint on the ground had become scorching hot.

“The last one.”

Lin Fan stepped forward and placed a single hand on his shoulder.

An even greater surge of Life Origin poured in.

Zhou Ming let out a low roar, his eyes snapping wide open.

The whites of his eyes were now completely overtaken by bloodshot veins.

Grayish-white Spatial Ability transformed into a violent torrent, slamming hard into the tenth bone pillar.

Two spatial rules clashed ferociously within the pillar’s core.

Fine cracks appeared across the pillar’s surface.

“Turn for me!”

Zhou Ming slammed both hands against the ground.

And then, at that very moment.

An extremely cold yet deeply familiar oppressive pressure descended without warning from above the ground.

Lin Fan halted in her tracks.

She raised her head, her gaze piercing through the thick rock layers toward the surface of White Bone Pass.

The muscles beneath her black leather suit tensed in an instant, and a flash of dangerously sharp cold light flickered across her Iridescent Astral Eyes.

Long Ye had arrived ahead of schedule.
