System Quest, Enemies Attack

The six Star Pirates looked at Zhou Kuang with grim expressions and asked, "Senior, is there anything else?"

Zhou Kuang sneered, "So you think you can just attack this Emperor and get away with it? Leaving an arm behind is not enough."

The Star Pirates' faces turned ugly. "Senior, isn't that a bit too overbearing?"

"Overbearing? Hahaha." Zhou Kuang suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes sharpening like swords in the next instant. "This Emperor is overbearing. What can you do about it? Blame yourselves for being weaker than this Emperor. Weakness is the original sin!"

Zhou Kuang suddenly attacked, lightning transforming into sharp swords that slashed down. The right hands of the six Star Pirates were instantly severed, blood gushing out.

The Star Pirates clutched their severed arms and wailed in agony. This was the power of the Origin of Lightning, which suppressed the healing of their wounds.

Unless they had healing methods on the level of a Great Emperor, their right arms would absolutely never grow back. These six Star Pirates were severely weakened.

Furthermore, if these six Star Pirates didn't get their wounds treated quickly, they might even bleed to death.

"Senior, can we leave now?" The leader of the Star Pirates didn't stop the bleeding but instead asked Zhou Kuang first.

"Scram!" Zhou Kuang said coldly. The six Star Pirates fled as if their lives depended on it.

Zhou Kuang sat cross-legged in the center of the star disk and began to recover from his injuries. Zhou Ling and the other two looked at Zhou Kuang with awe. This was the power of a Great Emperor! Zhou Ling and the other two showed looks of longing.

Especially Zhou Ling, she was already at Grand Perfection, only one step away from becoming a Great Emperor. However, this step had trapped her for hundreds of years, and she hadn't dared to take it. Now, she had made up her mind.

Zhou Ling and the other two hurriedly repaired the star disk. After a short while, it was fixed. The star disk turned into a stream of light, carrying Zhou Kuang and the others towards Azure Spirit Star.

Zhou Family.

Time passed, and seven days flew by like a white steed galloping past a crack.

During these seven days, Zhou Qiongtian used the Time Cabin to cultivate every moment he could. The current time flow ratio of the Time Cabin was 1:50, meaning Zhou Qiongtian had cultivated for 350 days within the Time Cabin!

Even so, Zhou Qiongtian's cultivation had only increased from the early Saint stage to the late Saint stage.

This cultivation speed could already be considered monstrous. Even in the Azure World, few people could match it.

However, it was much slower than Zhou Qiongtian's previous advancement speed. But most of Zhou Qiongtian's realm after the Cycle Realm had been boosted by the System, from the middle Cycle stage to the early Feather Ascension stage, and then from the early Feather Ascension stage to Grand Perfection.

The System's cultivation boosts were really satisfying. He wondered when the next System mission would arrive.

Suddenly, a System voice sounded in Zhou Qiongtian's mind. Speak of the devil.

[Ding! System mission issued: Repel the Anti-Zhou Alliance and defend the Zhou Family.]

[Mission reward: 500,000 Destiny Points, cultivation increased by three minor realms!]

[Ding! System mission issued: Kill all enemies of the Anti-Zhou Alliance at the Saint King Realm or above.]

[Mission reward: 10,000 Destiny Points for each Saint King killed, 100,000 Destiny Points for each Supreme Being killed!]

Zhou Qiongtian's eyes lit up, even turning green, like a lustful, single old man seeing a beautiful woman lying on his bed.

Zhou Qiongtian licked his lips, showing excitement and eagerness. The Anti-Zhou Alliance, come on! These guys are all experience points! Hurry up and come!

Zhou Qiongtian eagerly anticipated this in his heart. Whether it was heaven responding to his expectations or not, a massive bell suddenly rang out in the Zhou Family.

"Dong! Dong! Dong..."

The bell chimed nine times. All the Zhou Family disciples' faces changed drastically. No matter what they were doing, they rushed out and looked at the sky.

"This is the Zhou Family's Nine Bell Chime. Nine chimes mean the Zhou Family has reached a point of life and death. Has the Anti-Zhou Alliance finally arrived?" Zhou Qiongtian emerged from the Time Cabin, his eyes sharp. Like the other Zhou Family members, he gazed at the sky.

At this moment, above the Zhou Family, countless cultivators stood densely packed outside the Zhou Family's Family Protection Array, like wolves baring their fangs, about to unleash a bloody slaughter.

Zhou Qiongtian could sense at least fifty Saint Kings and five Supreme Beings in the sky, with countless cultivators at the Saint Realm and below.

What about the others? Zhou Qiongtian knew the Anti-Zhou Alliance had far more troops than this.

Suddenly, Zhou Qiongtian felt a sense of foreboding. A cultivator's intuition was more accurate than a woman's sixth sense. Everyone above the Saint Realm, except for Zhou Qiongtian, felt that something was amiss.

"Zhou Family, you have monopolized most of the resources on the Azure World, harming the interests of countless beings on the Azure World. The Savage Great Emperor has brutally suppressed countless races and forces, causing suffering and devastation to the land and heavens. Today is the day of your Zhou Family's demise!"

Mo Xuantian spoke from the sky. His voice carried divine soul abilities, allowing countless cultivators to hear him clearly. Mo Xuantian spoke from a position of righteousness, as if the Zhou Family were a family of heinous criminals.

"Hmph! Mo Xuantian, if you want to fight, fight. Why so much nonsense, like a woman?" The Zhou Family's Fifth Grand Elder immediately roared. He was naturally hot-tempered and a battle maniac, now rubbing his fists and hands, looking impatient.

Mo Xuantian was very displeased at being interrupted by the Zhou Family's Fifth Grand Elder. He had only spoken a fraction of his ten-thousand-word prepared speech.

However, it didn't matter. They just needed to put on a cloak of righteousness. As for the truth, that was unimportant.

In the next moment, as Mo Xuantian gave the order, countless cultivators of the Anti-Zhou Alliance began to attack the Zhou Family's Family Protection Array.

The Zhou Family's Family Protection Array was capable of withstanding attacks from Supreme Beings. Even a Supreme Being couldn't break it in a short time.

But now, the Anti-Zhou Alliance had five Supreme Beings and over fifty Saint Kings. Even this Family Protection Array could only hold for a moment.

Under the command of the Grand Elder, the Zhou Family members moved to their positions according to the pre-arranged tactics. Some of the Zhou Family's unripened prodigies had been gathered together and placed on teleportation arrays, ready to be teleported away at any moment.

Clearly, the Supreme Elders of the Zhou Family were not entirely confident about this battle.

The Zhou Family members stood ready, preparing to unleash their strongest power the moment the Family Protection Array was broken, to deliver a crushing blow to the Anti-Zhou Alliance.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

A teleportation array somewhere in the Zhou Family was suddenly activated. The surrounding Zhou Family disciples were utterly bewildered. What was going on?

In the next moment, an endless sea of fire spread outwards from the teleportation array at an extremely fast speed. The sea of fire surged rapidly, like a fiery demonic beast, opening its monstrous maw and devouring everything in its path.

The surrounding Zhou Family disciples were engulfed by the sea of fire before they could even react, except for those at the Saint Realm and above. All other disciples perished in the sea of fire.
