Lin Zhen learned for the first time how fast Xiao Nuan could be.
His Lightning Wings were already four times the speed of sound, but they still couldn’t compare to Xiao Nuan’s speed, which must have exceeded twenty times the speed of sound!
However, Lin Zhen wasn’t surprised. Star Realm Beasts were known for their speed, and it seemed that Xiao Nuan’s speed as a juvenile was even faster than an ordinary one.
In just three minutes from the Huang Sea Region to Capital Base City, Lin Zhen saw the Capital Base City.
As he passed over the Capital, Lin Zhen noticed a place that seemed to be filled with strong Holy Light.
That was God’s Grace Cathedral.
“Could it be Yue’er?”
It had been a long time since Lin Zhen had seen Su Mingyue, but in his opinion, she should be safe inside God’s Grace Cathedral under Gongsun Du’s protection, as it was unsafe elsewhere.
He really wanted to visit Su Mingyue, but there was no time now.
Glancing downward from the sky, Lin Zhen urged Xiao Nuan to speed up, heading northwest.
“Lin Zhen!”
Su Mingyue opened her eyes in her meditation room, her heart racing.
“It must be Lin Zhen who just passed by. What is he doing? What is the outside world like? Why am I so anxious?”
Su Mingyue slowly stood up, no longer in the mood to cultivate.
Ever since she declared her departure from the Gods Clan, Gongsun Du had forbidden her to leave the cathedral and had put a Seal of Light on her doors and windows.
Although she had mastered light molecules, she couldn’t break her Master’s seal.
How could Gongsun Du, who didn’t cultivate light power, put such a strong seal on her? Had her Master already mastered the power of light quantum? When had that happened?
She had left the Gods Clan, but she had never left this room. Her Master had even confiscated her phone, preventing her from contacting the outside world. This was for her safety, so she had no complaints.
She was waiting for Lin Zhen to repair the Star-gazing Mirror and come for her, but he never showed up.
She desperately wanted to know the situation outside, but she couldn’t leave her room. Her calls for help were unanswered, and Gongsun Du didn’t even see her.
If she wanted to leave, she had to break the seal Gongsun Du had left behind.
Just when Lin Zhen passed by, Su Mingyue, who had the same light power as Lin Zhen, felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
This feeling had occurred before, and she wanted to go out and see for herself.
Glancing at the seal on the window, Su Mingyue sat down, determined to practice as quickly as possible, break her Master’s seal, and leave!
********
The battle in the Taklamakan Desert was the focus of the world.
There were 260 Star Realm Experts from Hua Xia and 121 from the Church.
Hua Xia held the advantage in numbers, but among the 260 people, 230 were in the Star Core Period.
The Church, on the other hand, had only 50 Star Core Period experts among its 120 members.
The remaining 67 were Meteor Stage experts, plus Baggio and two other Comet Stage experts.
This fight was tough from the beginning. The Hua Xia martial artists dared not concentrate too much, for fear of being hit by their opponent’s fusion technique. They had to adopt the wolf pack tactic, attacking from all directions.
There was nothing wrong with the tactic, but the overall strength was relatively weak. Even with more people, it was difficult to compete with the ascetic monks.
One by one, the Star Realm warriors fell. After two hours of fighting, only 120 of Hua Xia’s 260 Star Realm fighters remained.
Meanwhile, the ascetic monks still had 90 people left. This was a huge difference in strength.
“Hahaha!”
Yan Huang transformed Light Annihilation into a Grim Reaper Scythe and launched a teleporting charge. The scythe summoned a large swath of light, slaying a Star Realm expert from Ice City!
“The eleventh one! The Hua Xia martial artists are too weak. They are merely prey for me to slaughter. Today is your doom!”
Several Hua Xia martial artists surrounded Yan Huang, seemingly closing in, but actually retreating one after another.
Master Yang Jianying from Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall in Ice City was also among them.
“No, we can’t go on like this. How come Yan Huang is so strong? I didn’t think he was anything special when I saw him fighting Lin Zhen. We started with seven of us against him, and now there are only four left.”
“You guys cover me. I’ll fight this guy to the death!” Yang Jianying spat out a mouthful of blood, a huge wound on his waist.
“Old Yang, what are you going to do?”
“No more talking! Let’s attack together, and use all the strength you have!”
Yang Jianying roared and teleported behind Yan Huang when several Star Realm warriors around him launched mental shocks and weapon attacks.
“A pearl of little worth can also shine!”
Yan Huang sneered disdainfully, suddenly swinging the Grim Reaper Scythe in his hand.
Yang Jianying’s body twisted and rose a little higher, but she couldn’t fully dodge the attack, and both her legs were severed by the scythe.
However, a smile appeared on her face as her body continued to surge forward, and her Star Power swelled dramatically!
“Not good!”
Yan Huang was alarmed. Yang Jianying was going to self-destruct.
Self-destruction is the most potent and the last attack of a martial artist. Although the explosion of a Star Core is not as powerful as a real star explosion, its power is almost comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb.
It just lacks the shockwave of a nuclear bomb.
Yan Huang was terrified, and his Light Annihilation transformed into a metallic eggshell, enveloping him.
Boom!
A wave of air erupted among the crowd, mainly directed at Yan Huang, but people nearby were still pushed far away.
Looking at the shining starlight in the sky, the Hua Xia martial artists couldn’t help but feel a sense of mourning at the rabbit’s death.
Old Yang, the owner of Ice City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, who had spent years cultivating himself to enter the Star Realm, died in the battle against the Gods Clan and perished in self-destruction, forever vanishing between Heaven and Earth.
No one would be willing to self-destruct if they’ve cultivated to this point, unless they saw no hope.
However, many people breathed a sigh of relief. If Yang Jianying’s self-destruction could kill or severely injure Yan Huang, it could be worth it.
But after the starlight flashed, Yan Huang was unscathed!
“Hahaha! I knew you were just insignificant, yet you insisted on shining. How can such minor force affect me? Can it break the defense of my top-quality artifact?!”
The Light Annihilation turned back into the Grim Reaper Scythe in Yan Huang’s hand, causing a wave of despair among the people.
This ever-changing top-quality artifact is very powerful, offering both attack and defense, difficult to resist, and even the self-destruction of a Star Realm Expert is unable to break it. Who else can hurt Yan Huang?
Compared to Yan Huang’s side, the battle on Baggio’s side is much more intense.
Ascetic monks are well-trained, attacking together in groups, completely dominating the Hua Xia martial artists.
Jin Qichao, Shang Jin, and other Star Realm Experts from Hua Xia are struggling, with both Jin Qichao and Shang Jin even fighting against two Comet Early Stage ascetic monks, battling through incredibly difficult conditions.
Guo Mo, the Chief Instructor from Star Fruit Tree, along with a group of instructors, and twenty ascetic monks are fighting fiercely, suffering heavy casualties.
“Chief Instructor, we can’t hold on any longer. You need to retreat quickly!”
Guo Mo’s eyes were bloodshot: “Where can we retreat? If we step back, we will lose every inch of our land. At this rate, Hua Xia will fall into the hands of these courtiers! Fight them with everything we have!”
Seeing Yang Jianying’s self-destruction, Guo Mo’s resolve was shaken. If they retreated, the Northwest Base City would be lost.
Defensive positions are in the Northwest. If the Northwest falls, Hua Xia’s gates are wide open, and there is no hope for all the Base Cities behind it.
So, they must fight in the Northwest.
An ascetic monk wielding a longsword charged at Guo Mo, who faced him head-on without dodging or evading, choosing to self-destruct!
This ascetic monk had no Holy Artifact like Yan Huang to defend himself against Guo Mo’s self-destruction, and there was no escaping it.
A burst of starlight exploded in the sky, and Guo Mo and this Meteor Early Stage ascetic monk perished together!
With Guo Mo’s death, the instructors of Star Fruit Tree went mad, each rushing to attack an ascetic monk, each utilizing self-destruction in turn.
It was as if fireworks were exploding in the sky – twelve instructors of the Star Fruit Tree taking down ten ascetic monks with them, turning everything into cosmic dust.
This was the most significant loss of the ascetic monks since the battle began, with only eighty remaining from the original ninety.
However, the team of instructors from the Star Fruit Tree was completely wiped out.
With Guo Mo’s charge, many Hua Xia martial artists emulated the same tactic.
Seeing this situation, Baggio immediately called out, “Yan Huang, intercept them! I’ll use the fusion technique!”
Yan Huang appeared in the front, swinging the Grim Reaper Scythe to intercept the Hua Xia martial artists who were like suicide squads.
With his Light Annihilation, which could transform into an eggshell-like defense sphere at any time, no martial artist dared to self-destruct near him. Unable to break his blockade, they couldn’t get close to the ascetic monks.
Within the delay, Baggio had already floated into the sky, and Holy Light Power surged in his hand: “Evil souls should be purified by light. May the true God be with you and go to the heavenly garden! Judgment of Light!”
The Light Power of ten ascetic monks beside him merged, and a sky-reaching beam of Holy Light slammed down. Six or seven Hua Xia martial artists who were attempting to charge forward to self-destruct were vaporized instantly without making a sound.
But Yan Huang, on the other hand, could avoid injury. He is a master of Light Quantum, and pure Light Power is immune to him.
Only one Star Realm Expert broke through Yan Huang’s blockade and instantly moved to Baggio’s side. Baggio simply waved his hand, and a light blade tore through space, directly cutting the Star Realm Expert in half.
If it came to pure strength, Baggio was the strongest among all present.
With Yan Huang blocking the front, Baggio and his group of ascetic monks provided heavy firepower from behind, making it appear as if the Hua Xia martial artists had no chance to turn the tide.
Jin Qichao, Shang Jin, Luo Yun, and Dongfang Jun were still struggling. They couldn’t retreat even a single step, knowing their homeland would fall behind them.
The Star Realm practitioners of Hua Xia already decided to die in the Yellow Sand for their hopeless future.
The world was silent, with no one believing there was any hope of reversing the outcome of this battle.
Except for the streak of light that was rapidly approaching from the distant sky!
