Chapter 4092 - 4111: Another Trump Card Added to the Arsenal

The Resentful God Banner hung high in the starry sky, emitting a black-red radiance, as a giant blood-colored vortex appeared above it.The terrifying energy fluctuations instantly attracted the descending Cosmic Ghost.

The dark fog paused its descent, then quickly gathered and surged towards the Resentful God Banner.

Lin Chen floated in the starry sky, looking quite tense.

The Cosmic Ghost is an intangible existence, similar to a Divine Soul, so the Resentful God Banner should be able to contain it. However, the Cosmic Ghost inherently possesses the ability to disrupt energy structures.

Is the rule of the Resentful God Banner stronger, or is the destructiveness of the Cosmic Ghost stronger?

The dark fog spread over, quickly rushing into the blood-red vortex in front of the Resentful God Banner.

The blood-red vortex, initially rotating slowly, suddenly accelerated upon contact with the dark fog, becoming faster and faster. The dark fog swiftly entered the vortex and disappeared.

Lin Chen suddenly widened his eyes, looking pleasantly surprised.

Can it really work?

The Resentful God Banner frantically attracted the dark fog, which disappeared into the blood-red vortex like mud oxen entering the sea.

Lin Chen was very excited; Cosmic Ghosts possess terrifying lethality against warships and martial artists. Yet, now he had used the Resentful God Banner to contain it.

The Divine Souls absorbed by the Resentful God Banner can be released to attack the enemy of the manipulator. Since the Cosmic Ghost can be contained inside, it should also be released, right?

In the future, if I face a Starry Sky Battleship or another martial warrior in a specific environment, releasing the Cosmic Ghost might have unexpected effects.

The speed at which the dark fog was being absorbed continually increased, and the blood-red vortex of the Resentful God Banner acted like a black hole, frantically drawing in the dark fog, visibly reducing it by the naked eye.

Soon, the dark fog, which almost covered the entire planet, was completely taken in by the Resentful God Banner.

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense entered the Resentful God Banner to observe its interior, and he unexpectedly discovered that the endless dark fog obediently stayed within the array formation inside the banner, without corroding the formations.

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

The Resentful God Banner can indeed contain a Cosmic Ghost; how amazing!

The Cosmic Ghost that had confounded the Federation’s senior management was actually contained with just a Magical Treasure!

Chu Jiaxue and the other three floated in the starry sky, watching from afar. Witnessing this scene left the three women utterly shocked.

Did Lin Chen really contain the Cosmic Ghost?

Isn’t this too exaggerated?

The three sped over quickly, and Gu Yuexi looked at the hovering Resentful God Banner: "Is this Resentful God Banner so powerful that it can actually contain a Cosmic Ghost?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, it was beyond my expectations. But thinking about it, it might be a case of one thing countering another, just like how strong acids or aqua regia can quickly corrode even metal containers, but when placed in a simpler, cheaper container, they can be securely held without any leakage."

"The array formation inside the Resentful God Banner is a Void Array. These dark fogs seem tightly intertwined with the interior of the Resentful God Banner, but they actually exist in a special space without contacting the formations inside, making it understandable."

Chu Jiaxue nodded in agreement and said, "That truly is a case of one thing countering another. Now, having contained such a large-scale Cosmic Ghost, if released, it would probably have immense destructive power."

Lin Chen chuckled: "That’s what I think too. In the future, if someone offends us, I’ll just release the Resentful God Banner, hide far away, and let it release the Cosmic Ghost. Whether the opponent is a warship or a martial warrior, they’ll have a headache."

Yao Xuanji said solemnly, "Since coming to the Federation, I’ve realized that while cultivators really can’t compare to Federation martial warriors in combat power, we do have many advantages."

"Lifespan is the first, and soul strength is the second. Even if our Heaven Deity’s combat power only matches up to a sixth-level peak martial warrior, our soul strength is far superior to theirs."

Lin Chen nodded, recounting his reaction when he approached the dark fog earlier: "Even at a distance, it elicited such a significant reaction. I feel that if it were an ordinary eighth-level martial warrior from the Federation, he wouldn’t withstand it."

Yao Xuanji laughed and said, "Since the Resentful God Banner can contain the Cosmic Ghost, we could study it further later. For now, let’s proceed with the rescue."

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "I want to search in this star domain to see if there are any other Cosmic Ghosts. If so, I will collect them into the Resentful God Banner, to serve as a hidden card for us."

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "Let’s rescue the people first, then we can explore and see if there are any more Cosmic Ghosts."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen and others descended to the Tianheng Group base, where the entire planet had been bombarded into patchwork ruins. The base suffered significant damage from meteorite strikes, with the airport battered and most areas completely destroyed, leaving only the central area still shining with an energy shield.

Everyone in the base originally despaired but hadn’t expected rescuers to come from the sky.

When Lin Chen and others explained their purpose, the whole base became thrilled.

Lin Chen packed up the hundreds of people in the base along with their organized important supplies, then left this resource planet that wouldn’t last much longer.

Lin Chen returned the people to the transport ship, then performed a star sky jump to return to the chaotic star domain and continue the search.

After half a month of searching, Lin Chen found two other Cosmic Ghosts, each with a considerable size.

Lin Chen activated the Resentful God Banner, absorbing both Cosmic Ghosts and conducting an experiment in the void.

He activated the formations, releasing the absorbed Cosmic Ghosts. Instantly, dark fog rolled, filling the surroundings with a world-ending breath.

The black-red radiance on the Resentful God Banner flickered, isolating the released dark fog. The dark fog didn’t lunge directly at the Resentful God Banner but instead rapidly expanded outward, covering an exceptionally broad area.

It’s feasible!

Lin Chen concluded the experiment and reabsorbed the Cosmic Ghosts.

Cosmic Ghosts refer to special energy bodies that vary greatly in size, merging into one once absorbed into the Resentful God Banner.

Lin Chen and others returned to the transport ship, concluding this rescue mission.

For martial warriors, this operation may have been difficult, but for Lin Chen and others, it felt more like a leisurely trip without any danger.

Soon, the transport ship landed at the Tianheng Group.

Upon receiving the notification, Xu Qingshan personally came to greet the transport ship, partly to express his appreciation and concern for the group employees, and partly to show gratitude to Lin Chen and others.

Just saying a word saw them risking danger for him; this favor is no small matter.

As soon as Lin Chen stepped off the transport ship, Xu Qingshan came forward to greet him.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your hard work!"
