Li Miaolin's deep gaze pierced through the defensive barrier around the outpost and swept over the chaotic scene at the distant dockyard harbor.
The two Lesser Demons, terrified by the oppressive force of the previous attack, had been frightened out of their wits. In their muddled state, they began attacking their own kind without distinction. Demonic Qi roiled chaotically around them, carving twisted black trails through the void like spilled ink staining the entire starfield.
"Those people at the Outer Realm Border..." Li Miaolin's voice carried a hint of amusement. "Their most troublesome methods are the various attack formations built with Star God cores."
As he spoke, he looked up at the starry sky beyond the barrier, where black and white radiance intertwined. "In the past, they were always exceedingly cautious when using such methods. Yet now they even dared to directly bombard the Demon Star's Moon Outpost."
Before his words had faded, a blinding aurora suddenly flared in the direction of the Outer Realm Border.
There was another attack!
Hundreds of torrents of energy tore through the void, sweeping up shattered stardust to form a violent stellar wind. The impact driven by that wind crashed against the barrier surrounding the Moon Outpost, stirring layer upon layer of ripples.
Then the rune chains of the defensive formation flickered beneath the impact, breaking down the incoming energy into a rain of light that filled the sky. This strike, however, lacked accuracy. Only thirty percent of the offensive landed upon the Moon Outpost, while the rest scattered and fell away.
Several beams of energy plunged straight into the Demon Star's atmosphere at light speed, gouging alarming trails across the azure heavens.
In an instant, three streams of Demonic Qi shot into the sky, piercing the clouds like long rainbows crossing the sun.
