The Countess paid no heed to Haoyun's protests about her cryptic behavior and continued with a self-assured voice: "Ahem! Congratulations, Brother Haoyun, on unlocking yet another new function! Since Phoenix Feather No. 6, the Earth Yin Ling Realm armor, and the Mold Spirit Energy are all ready, please input the coordinates for the teleportation destination and prepare to enter the dog hole! Ahem ahem!"
Upon hearing this, Haoyun couldn't help but furrow his brow in confusion again: Mold Spirit Energy ready? Where did the Mold Spirit Energy come from? Why—no, wait a minute! Could it be—!
Just as Haoyun was deeply puzzled by the Countess's statement, a message suddenly popped up on his system interface: "Mold Spirit Energy ready." Haoyun was initially stunned, but then quickly understood under the Countess's further instructions. It turned out that in order to activate the Dog Hole skill, he needed to use high-purity Mold Spirit Energy as boost fuel! The Mold Spirit Energy required for Haoyun's Dog Hole skill was precisely the five percent stored in his Mold Spirit Energy storage device, all collected from Amu Zinen.
Could this be why Yan Chaoyue could only convert half of her Mold Spirit Energy storage into usable energy for herself and the armor at the time? Could it be that the system deliberately prevented Yan Chaoyue from withdrawing more Mold Spirit Energy from the storage just so I could activate the Dog Hole myself? But how could my system anticipate all this and not inform me beforehand? Could it be that my system has been completely controlled by the Countess? Thinking this, Haoyun couldn't help but shiver, his mind involuntarily conjuring the terrifying phrase "chilling contemplation."
However, now was not the time to dwell on these questions. Looking at the Mold Spirit Energy storage device reactivated by the system, Haoyun felt extremely fortunate that he hadn't insisted on launching the Hunter Bullet against the Destroyers. He was also thankful that his system had forcibly shut down the Mold Spirit Energy storage device earlier, preventing him from giving all the Mold Spirit Energy to Yan Chaoyue. If not for that, they wouldn't even have the opportunity to retreat at this point.
"Hey! It's urgent now, and you're still lost in thought there? Hurry up and enter the teleportation coordinates!" At this moment, the Countess's urging voice came through Haoyun's mind again. Without pondering whether it was the Countess herself or the language embedded in the armor speaking, Haoyun immediately gathered his spirits and pasted a long and complex code provided by Yan Chaoyue into the dialogue box that popped up on the system screen.
"Ahem ahem! Checking the teleportation address now, please wait! Dala dala, dala dala didi, dida didi, dida dida la—" After the Countess responded, her voice switched to a dry and hoarse tone as she hummed that circus march that made Haoyun want to foam at the mouth just hearing it.
Damn it, Countess, this jerk! Even at a time like this, she doesn't forget to torment my spirit! Haoyun gritted his teeth, listening to the song that made him physically uncomfortable, cursing in his mind. At the same time, memories of the unspeakable events that occurred in the Fragrant Nebula flashed through his mind again.
Fortunately, the Countess's voice quickly stopped humming, and after imitating the system prompt with a ding sound, she began to announce: "Verification complete! You're really lucky! The teleportation coordinates are within service range. So, shall we start entering the dog hole now? Ahem ahem!"
At this moment, under the relentless assault of the Mastanians' frenzied charges and the rain of destruction, most of the Moon Star Palace had already turned into a sea of flames. Despite this dire situation, the soldiers of the Eternal Moon Star were still fighting desperately. Everyone knew that the Moon Star Palace was not far from complete collapse. The only thing sustaining the soldiers of the Eternal Moon Star now was their determination to defend the honor of the Eternal Moon Star people and to drag the Mastanians down to burial, even in death. They hoped that Haoyun and his group could quickly take these young Eternal Moon Star children away from here.
However, Haoyun looked at the dialogue box "Start entering the dog hole?" that popped up on the system interface, but hesitated to confirm. Instead, he looked again at Yan Chaoyue, who was fighting the Destroyers in close combat above the sky, and shouted, "Chaoyue, we can hold on here for a little longer! Quickly find a way to disengage from the Destroyers and come back, we can take you with us!"
Dao Lao and Dream Jia also shouted loudly through the communicator, "Chaoyue! Retreat quickly! Let's go together!"
King Earl, who was still trying to suppress the Destroyers, seemed to sense the situation on Haoyun's side and once again persuaded, "Annie, let us hold him back! You should hurry and go! Conserve your energy, take our children! Leave here quickly!"

King Earl's thoughts were that even though Yan Chaoyue was fighting by unleashing all her potential, if there was even a one in a billion chance that she could converge her breath and follow Haoyun back to the City of Spirits, the priests of the City of Spirits would have a chance to save her from the edge of death.
"No! I must ignite all my energy and enter a transcendent state to better suppress the Destroyers and ensure they do not interfere with Haoyun's retreat. Moreover, since I enjoy the honor of being the Queen of the Eternal Moon Star, I must be prepared at any time to accompany the Eternal Moon Star people to the Underworld! I must eradicate the despicable threat of the Destroyers at all costs, revenge for the fallen Eternal Moon Star people, and eliminate the Destroyers from the spirit realm!" Yan Chaoyue calmly and firmly refused. At the same time, cracks had already crawled all over her body that was now shining brightly, with tremendous energy surging inside her, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Ah! No! Stop it! You maniac! Let go of me!" Unable to stop Yan Chaoyue from continuing to channel power into the Destroyer, who was now feeling an impending danger. In response, the Destroyer intensified his attacks on Yan Chaoyue, his face contorted with fear and desperation, attempting to break free from Yan Chaoyue's grasp.
However, under the combined suppression of Yan Chaoyue and the Erl King, the Destroyer had forcefully lost a substantial amount of energy. This not only exacerbated the injuries on his chest but also caused a significant decline in his strength once again. Consequently, the Destroyer gradually lost control over the Crimson Poison Mist Formation, and his magical energy shield began to lose its resistance against the unleashed Array of Destruction. Consequently, fragments of meteorites, crimson poison mist, and rain of destruction started penetrating the Destroyer's magical shield from above, inflicting more direct damage to his body. Under the assault of the Crimson Poison Mist Formation and the rain of destruction, the Destroyer's once dark black body turned swollen and reddened. Some parts of his body even began to flicker with flames due to the overwhelming attacks from the out-of-control Array.
"Argh! Ah! You three bastards! You madwoman! Your actions benefit no one! Are you really willing to sacrifice even your noble lives just to kill me?" The Destroyer continued to resist the combined suppression of Yan Chaoyue and the Erl King, shouting in a tone filled with bitterness.
"Hmph! Not only did you disregard my kindness towards you, but you also cruelly robbed me of my power, even contemplating harm to the Mother of Mold Spirits! Even if it costs my life, I will eliminate you, you treacherous traitor!" Amutsun responded bitterly.
"Hmph! You've ruined my body! Stolen the power that rightfully belongs to me! You heartless scoundrel! Since you won't let me live in peace, then I will drag you down with me to the netherworld!" The transformed Erl responded fiercely.
The Erl King, while expressing his willingness to sacrifice himself to eliminate the Destroyer and the Mastans who had destroyed his homeland, looked at Yan Chaoyue once again with deep sorrow. "Anne! Why must you choose to die with us again! Suppress your aura and leave with them! The Destroyer isn't worth it."
"Erl, don't try to dissuade me! I must ensure that the Destroyer is completely killed here, not only to avenge the fallen people of Eternal Mu, but also to ensure that the Destroyer's powers do not spread through this black hole and fall into the hands of more Mold Spirit energies!" Yan Chaoyue responded firmly once again.
Having said that, Yan Chaoyue turned her gaze towards Xia Ba Square below, casting a loving look at the pair of children held tightly by Dao Lao and Meng Jia. Then, Yan Chaoyue revealed a calm smile and continued, "And everything I've done today is to ensure the continuation of our Eternal Mu civilization, which is also my duty. Because, I am your wife, Erl King, I am the Queen of Eternal Mu, I am Yan Chaoyue."
As Yan Chaoyue's words fell silent, cracks covering her entire body shattered completely, and in an instant, all the energy burst forth from Yan Chaoyue's body poured into the wound on the Destroyer's chest. Immediately after, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream from the Destroyer, his huge black body was enveloped in holy light, and at his chest, a rapidly condensing flame of rapid fission formed. At the same time, the remnants of the celestial shield disintegrated completely in an instant, and after turning into energy particles that flooded the unconstrained out-of-control array, the three-fifths of the out-of-control array then flowed down from the.
As the energy net formed, the surrounding air currents around Xia Ba Square were inexplicably drawn towards the perimeter of the energy net. Quickly stirred by these currents, a central vortex began to form in Xia Ba Square, continuously releasing purple tornadoes with flashes of red lightning. However, these lightning strikes weren't releasing energy outward but rather attempting to draw in more air currents beyond the tornado.
The powerful tornado came swiftly and left suddenly. Just as the tornado transformed completely into a crimson red under the influence of the red lightning, the crimson energy propelled by the tornado exploded outward in an instant. As these bursts of energy ravaged the buildings around Xia Ba Square, they created a vacuum zone on the square that even the three-fifths of the out-of-control array couldn't penetrate.
About two seconds later, the energy net began to violently shake. Those inside the net were blurred by the intense shaking, and in less than another two seconds, with the collapse of the energy net, they were forcefully drawn inward into a purple-black space by powerful forces.
