Chapter 391 Meteor Fall From Sky

Although Ancient Soldier were physically strong, well-trained, and well-equipped, they lacked the enhancement of vital energy. If one had to describe them, they could be considered to have the Limit an ordinary person's abilities. They were capable of taking on ten ordinary armies in the era of cold weapons, but they were far inferior to Jackal Warrior!

However, this was not an open battlefield. The town's streets Crisscross, and the soldiers, relying on shields, spears, and crossbows, managed to hold their ground at the key passes.

Of course, in the midst of the chaos, there would inevitably be a large number of casualties. Even when using formations to cooperate in the battle, it would take down five or even ten Ancient Soldier to take down a single Jackal Warrior. The casualty ratio was extremely high.

But whenever a soldier falls, more soldiers will take his place!

Since the casualty ratio is five times, I'll summon ten or twenty times more soldiers to fill the gap!

Luo Jun stood atop a three-story building, surveying the intricate battlefield. There were at least two thousand Jackal Warrior on the opposite side, and including those already killed, he estimated the total number summoned to be around three thousand. Adding the Ancient Guardian, Aishiliya, and Ailongtan, summoning all of them would require at least 150,000 breaths of vital energy. Even with Luo Jun's current level of cultivation and energy reduction, it would still take at least 50,000 breaths...

If it really was just a copy of the crown, then the person currently wearing it must be exceptionally talented, no ordinary person...

Wait... no!

Luo Jun suddenly narrowed his eyes. The projection forcibly limited his Root Bone and spirituality. If it were based on the average person's amplification, even at the Peak, the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm would only last for a little over five thousand breaths. Even if this person's amplification was extremely high, it would only reach a little over ten thousand breaths. Moreover, the energy reduction of an average person's seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm was not as good as the effect of his fifth level...

It's safe to say that under these rules, unless one is practicing Body Tempering Art, it would be impossible to summon so many Jackal Warrior!

Could he be Master's disciple who was stranded in another world?

No, that's not right. Luo Jun thought to himself, even if the opponent was also cultivating the Body Tempering Art, and had the same double boost as him, then a seventh-level Foundation Establishment Realm would only have about 38,000 breaths of Qi. Even with the reduced energy consumption at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it might be possible to complete the summoning. But in that case, the opponent's own Qi would be almost depleted.

The Ancestral Skeleton Headband's ability to summon soldiers is indeed powerful, but it's not very effective against individual top-tier experts. Who would risk exhausting their energy to unleash such Ultimate Move?

Something's not right...

Luo Jun narrowed his eyes. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly sensed a terrifying Vital Energy Wave sweeping across the area. Then, the enemy's Ancient War Guardian and thousands of Jackal Warrior seemed to be swept away by an invisible brush, turning into dust and dissipating...

The enemy's disappearance didn't bring him relief; instead, he sensed a looming crisis, and the word "sacrifice" popped into his head out of nowhere!

The moment this thought formed, the sky changed color again. This time, it wasn't the black of the clouds, but a deep red!

It reflected the deep red of the entire town!

Luo Jun looked up and saw a dazzling red light shining through the gaps in the clouds. Then, a huge fireball broke through the clouds and fell from the sky, heading straight for the Ancient Temple.

Meteorite?!

Judging by its size, it's like a building falling from the sky. At this speed, the impact upon landing would be comparable to a nuclear explosion. Not only would the Earth Barrier be destroyed, but the entire Ancient Temple, and even the entire town, would likely be destroyed!

Upon seeing this, Luo Jun immediately deactivated his shield, shouted "Run!" and leaped high into the air, heading straight for the meteorite!

Luo Jun wasn't sure if he could stop the meteorite, but he knew that if the boulder fell, there would probably be no safe place in this small town that spanned several kilometers. Escaping the epicenter might save his life, and it would be lucky if half of his teammates survived!

The most likely outcome is that after this attack, everyone except the few who were providing shelter will be wiped out!

Luo Jun has protection after all; even if he can't withstand the attack, he won't die. Let's give it a shot!

The meteorite's speed near the ground was over Mach 10. One second it was seen breaking through the clouds, and the next it was already over the town. Fortunately, its trajectory was straight up and down, and thanks to his prediction, Luo Jun still managed to meet the meteorite head-on!

His internal energy circulated rapidly, and his Gathering Origin Protective Qi was pushed to its limit, condensing into a visible Qi armor over a meter thick in front of Luo Jun.

Gathering Origin Protective Qi is an ultra-stable state formed by compressing Yuan Qi to its extreme. Normally, it covers the body like a tight-fitting garment, appearing to be only a thin layer, but its strength already exceeds that of ordinary Cultivators' Yuan Qi, which surges like burning flames. Without a huge reserve of Yuan Qi, it is impossible to maintain.

During battle, Luo Jun would occasionally stretch his Gathering Origin Protective Qi into the shape of a longsword or even a spear. However, due to the extreme compression, what appeared to be a thin strip was actually a condensation of a massive amount of Yuan Qi, consuming an extremely high amount of Yuan Qi. Even Luo Jun would only use it briefly when he needed to launch a strong attack.

Now, his entire body was covered in armor thicker than the load-bearing walls of a building, and the consumption of his vital energy was like a floodgate being opened. But Luo Jun didn't care and gathered all his strength to rush towards the meteorite!

"Shattered the meteorite!" "Ding! Event Difficulty 83 points, Final Points 70 + 15 points, Event Success!"

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the meteorite exploded high in the sky upon impact with Luo Jun, shattering into countless small pieces. Centered on the Ancient Temple, a meteor shower fell above the town!

Meanwhile, Luo Jun, who was directly confronting the blast, was also falling at high speed in the explosion, smashing through the stone bridge in the center of the town and plunging into the river, creating a huge cloud of mist...

"I survived... uh... uh..."

Luo Jun lay at the bottom of the river. The river water, pushed aside by the powerful impact, hadn't even had time to flow back. His Gathering Origin Protective Qi had been shattered, his body was severely burned from the high temperature, and he suffered multiple fractures, making it almost impossible for him to stand up...

But at least he survived!

Despite the excruciating pain, Luo Jun took out the Heaven Returning Realm from the Hundred Treasure Box and activated its skill. A golden light enveloped his body, and at the same time, the river water upstream flowed down, engulfing his recovering body.

At the same time, hundreds of meteorite fragments fell, smashing and destroying houses in the town, killing and scattering soldiers in the streets, creating an apocalyptic scene everywhere.

As for the Cultivators in Team Number One, after leaving the Ancient Temple, they moved through the town while dodging meteorites...

"What... what's going on?" Yu Shan trembled all over. "What a scene! Is this... Peak... power...?"

"I've never seen a skill of this level before..." Wang Yifan looked at Ma Lei and Xu Li: "Could the Elemental School handle such a large meteorite?"

"Experts proficient in Fire Element and earth elements can create effects similar to meteorites," Xu Li explained. "But this scale is practically equivalent to summoning a nuclear bomb. As far as I know, only the Elemental School who have Feather Transformation, like that Western Pope, can accomplish this!"

"No way? Our opponent is the Pope?" Zhu Xixi asked in surprise...

"She's referring to experts from the Main World," Ma Lei frowned. "But the opponent isn't from the Main World. Among the Polluter, the one with the highest level of Elemental School, as far as I know, is Alemont, an apostle of the [Empire]... He reached his Peak many years ago, and has been lying low in another world for many years. Nobody knows if he has now surpassed that level..."

"You mean, we might be facing a Feather Transformation?" Zhu Xixi and Yu Shan were completely dumbfounded. "Shouldn't that be a contestant from Tier S Mission?"

"But we can't rule out that possibility." Wang Yifan frowned. "If it's true, we basically have no chance of survival..."

"We still have Ye!" Zhu Xixi hadn't given up hope. "He shattered that meteorite; maybe he can fight back too..."

"It's uncertain whether Ye is even alive anymore..." Wang Shuwen gritted his teeth and said, "He absorbed most of the force of that meteorite, and he's probably already..."

Before he could finish speaking, a red spear suddenly pierced his chest, pinning him to the ground!
