An Eighth-Stage Alien Descends and Begins Enslaving Blue Star's Humanity
Chen Du withdrew his aura, and the Divine Foundation that had just been formed within his body slowly sank into the depths of his True Spirit, like the bright moon hidden behind the clouds, no longer revealing itself in the slightest.
This Divine Foundation, named [Cangming Abyss], is integrated into the True Spirit. It is the Foundation Establishment Immortal Dao the starting point for his path to the Golden-Nature Fruition.
The Spirit Martial Realm Divine Status is like a warm, gentle light, quietly suspended above the [Cangming Abyss], neither visible nor hidden.
[Cangming Abyss] is among the True Spirits, and its Divine Status is above Cangming Abyss, with layers of concealment and introversion.
Unless a powerful being delves into his True Spirit to investigate, from the outside, he remains nothing more than an ordinary person with an inconspicuous aura.
After a few breaths, Chen Du's cultivation level was completely stabilized.
In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, upon entering the Eighth Stage, a completely different world begins.
Deep within her consciousness, a panel popped up at the opportune moment:
[Name: Chen Du]
[Realms: Eighth Stage Evolver - Immortal Dao - Golden-Nature Fruition Position - Early Foundation Establishment Pseudo-Eighth-Order Evolver - Martial Dao Path - Martial Position Realm / Seventh Tier Evolver - Factor Position - Freedom Realm / Pseudo-Eighth-Order Evolver - Immortal Dao Path - Body Integration Stage]
[Current Status: True Spirit Returns]
Chen Du quietly finished reading and put the panel away.
He hadn't walked far when he found the black cat at the foot of a cliff deep in another part of Mount Tai.
It was lying on a rock that was scorching hot from the sun, its four tails drooping lazily, its golden vertical pupils half-closed, clearly indicating that it had been having a good time these past two days.
Upon hearing footsteps, its ears twitched first, then it raised its head.
Upon seeing Chen Du, the black cat sat up abruptly, flicking its tail. "Didn't you say it would take several days? It's only been a little over two days, and you're back from the depths of Mount Tai so quickly?"
Chen Du smiled but didn't say anything. The black cat suddenly stopped asking.
It tilted its head, its golden vertical pupils scrutinizing Chen Du from head to toe, the pupils slowly shrinking into two thin lines.
I can't explain why, but this person seems to have changed; it's a difference that comes from the very core of their being.
The Cat Demon had an unbelievable thought: Could it be that this kid has already broken through to the Eighth Stage in just a few days?
Meanwhile, in a deep valley far from Mount Tai.
The night was as dark as ink, and on the flat ground at the bottom of the valley stood an ancient altar built of huge black stones.
The Kema People stood at the very front of the altar, his slender black shadow shrouded in a dark curtain of light, two dim red lights beneath his mask remaining motionless.
Behind him knelt dozens of Extraterrestrial Races of various shapes and sizes.
They were all silent, even their breathing was kept to a minimum.
At the center of the altar, seven blood-red beams of light shot into the sky, swirling into a massive vortex.
The vortex spun faster and faster until finally a crack appeared in the middle.
From the depths of the crevice, an indescribable aura surged forth like a tsunami, instantly engulfing the entire valley.
The kneeling aliens trembled violently, and several of the weaker ones lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.
A figure stepped out from the crack.
It was a humanoid being covered in silver-gray scales, nearly ten feet tall, with a halo of countless runes hanging behind it.
The moment he landed, it was as if all sound was sucked away from the earth. The sound of the wind and the chirping of insects all disappeared, leaving only that terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble, like the descent of the Heavenly Dao, pressing down on all the Extraterrestrial Races and making them tremble in fear.
Eighth Stage alien race, descend!
The Eighth Stage alien figure stepped out from the rift, its silver-gray scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
Its name is "Yinshi". Its body is covered in scales that are impervious to swords and spears. Wherever it goes, life is wiped out. It once destroyed several small stars on its own.
The Kema People stepped forward and briefly explained Chen Du's situation, "This man has killed many of our tribe's vanguard members. We beg Lord Yinshi to intervene."
Upon hearing this, Yinshi merely sneered, "Just a native, it doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, there's only one fate for humanity on Blue Star."
He raised his hand, a halo of runes illuminating his back, radiating murderous intent. "Submit, or be annihilated!"
The next day.
A major riverside city in the Xia Kingdom.
As dawn broke, the city was still shrouded in morning mist.
Suddenly, a streak of silver-gray light ripped across the sky, crashing into the city center like a meteorite.
Visible shockwaves spread outwards, leveling large areas of the city amidst the roar, collapsing high-rises, breaking bridges, and scattering vehicles and people like pieces of paper in the blast wave.
The sounds of explosions, cries, and alarms mingled together, and thick smoke blotted out the sky.
Above the smoke and dust, Yinshi stood suspended in mid-air, its silver-gray scales reflecting the firelight, like an evil god from beyond the heavens.
The halo behind it suddenly expanded, and the sky over all parts of the Xia Kingdom seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud.
Immediately afterwards, a giant human face projection appeared in the sky above the city, which was the image of the Kema People.
The sound from the projection's opening was amplified by some force, spreading throughout the entire city:
"Listen, natives of Blue Star! This is the first warning. Submit to our extraterrestrial races, or we will destroy one of your cities every day. We will choose tomorrow's city in advance."
The Xia Kingdom's military reacted extremely quickly.
Dozens of fighter jets took off from Lin City, and supersonic missiles, trailing plumes of fire, hurtled toward Yinshi.
Ground-based air defense systems opened fire simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of bullets that formed a dense network.
However, all the attacks exploded as soon as they approached within ten feet of Yinshi, as if they had hit an invisible wall, yet they failed to damage even a single scale of it.
The missile struck him, leaving only wisps of smoke, like a tickle.
Yinshi Eclipse looked down, his eyes filled with contempt.
It slowly raised its hand, and with a gentle wave, more than a dozen fighter jets in the sky disintegrated in mid-air, turning into fireballs that fell to the ground.
The entire city was deathly silent, like a graveyard.
Thick smoke billowed over the city ruins.
The alarm continued to sound intermittently, like the last groans lingering in a vast tomb.
The internet on Blue Star completely exploded.
Previous discussions about Extraterrestrial Races were tinged with a sense of wishful thinking and fervent enthusiasm.
But when a city was wiped out in a single blow, and countless lives were lost before their very eyes, humanity on Blue Star was plunged into extreme despair.
"It's gone, everything's gone... I watched helplessly as half the city vanished."
"Missiles can't penetrate it, and fighter jets can't get close enough. What else can we use to fight them?"
"Destroying a city every day, that's terrifying."
"Is humanity doomed? Is it really over this time?"
"I used to laugh at people who were just waiting to die, but now when I see that scene, I don't even have the strength to stand up."
"We evolved with all our might, but in the end we couldn't even fight back against this monster. What kind of evolution is that?"
"I don't want to die, but I don't want to kneel either. But what can I do if I don't kneel?"
The Kema People's projections have reappeared on various platforms.
"You natives are nothing but weak insects. Don't test our patience with your weapons. We have Eighth Stage experts who can destroy you in the blink of an eye."
Submission is your only way out. If you voluntarily surrender and help us secure the entrance to Blue Star, you might be spared and made our vassals. Otherwise, by this time tomorrow, we will choose another city and wipe it out completely.
The atmosphere inside the management bureau was even more oppressive than outside.
On the large screen, images of the city's destruction were continuously replayed, and technicians repeatedly analyzed the movement trajectory and energy level of the Yinshi.
An old general, his eyes red, slammed his fist on the table. "Is there really no way at all?"
No one responded, and the faces of the several advisors, who were all evolved beings, turned ashen.
They did have Third Tier evolved beings, but faced with such power, any tactic seemed laughable.
