"So... this is the true power of Daluo Golden Immortal?"
Zhang Yu gazed at the terrifying spatial rift above the Earth and muttered to himself:
"A seemingly effortless sword strike cleaved through millions of miles of void, creating absolute defense..."
"What are you afraid of? He's not Number One you."
The system suddenly spoke.
Zhang Yu smiled wryly, asking himself:
"Then... what is the Cultivation of the other Number Three hosts?"
"Two Daluo Golden Immortal." The system's answer was concise and direct.
"... You idiot, is this what you meant by 'don't worry'?"
Zhang Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What about the other Number Nine?"
Zhang Yu asked with some curiosity.
There are no other Number Nine.
The system's voice carried an unusual hint of solemnity:
"Number Nine has been unified into three entities, with the three subsystems having completely absorbed each other and merged."
Moreover, it wasn't just Number Nine; from Number One to Number Ten, everyone except you and Number Eight... had already been dealt with long ago."
"What?"
Zhang Yu was deeply shaken:
"It was already settled?"
What's the meaning?"
"That means that, apart from you and that equally unlucky Number Eight, the other eight hosts of the 'Rebellious Dao Seed' have already completed the final fusion and absorption of their Dao Seed."
The lowest Cultivation nowadays is the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal, and some may even have already touched the threshold of the Primordial Unity.
And you, and Number Eight, are still stuck in this Novice Village.
The system's explanation was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in Zhang Yu's heart.
On the ground, Qin Meng, who had just experienced a fierce battle and emotional turmoil, was looking Small Face at the majestic, god-like figure on the Nine Dragons Carriage.
When that figure seemed to inadvertently glance down and their eyes met for a fleeting moment...
The aura of majesty surrounding him seemed to fade slightly for a moment, revealing a handsome, gentle, yet Supreme dignified profile.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Qin Meng was struck as if by lightning, and she abruptly covered her mouth.
Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief and utter shock!
"Big... Eldest Brother?"
The Nine Dragons Pulling the Carriage, with a single sword strike, cleaved a spatial rift spanning millions of miles, like the majestic figure of High Antiquity celestial emperor descending to earth...
It turned out to be her Eldest Brother, Qin Hao, who was always smiling, giving her "sweet treats," and encouraging her to study hard?
Qin Meng was completely stunned.
She knew her Eldest Brother was no ordinary person.
But... isn't this a bit too "complex"?
Suddenly, another unexpected event occurred.
"Sizzle--!"
Above the Earth, beside Qin Hao, the void was once again brutally torn open.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and graceful figure, exuding Supreme majesty and domineering aura, stepped out gracefully from the crack.
The visitor was a woman, Number Ten.
She wore a bright yellow imperial robe with dragon patterns, on which lifelike nine-clawed golden dragons were embroidered.
Wearing a twelve-row pearl crown with tassels, and with pearl and jade curtains swaying gently, she had a stunningly beautiful face that was both breathtakingly beautiful and naturally dignified.
"What a domineering young Brother, I like him."
The woman parted her lips slightly, her eyes sparkling with a hint of flirtation:
How about marrying me?
I promise you the title of mistress of my Harem.
"Wu Zhao,"
Qin Hao said coldly, "You're asking for death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the longsword was drawn again.
"Young Brother, you've got it wrong."
Wu Zhao is Dao Seed, and has long since merged with me.
Standing before you now is Empress of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty Wu Xin of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Wu Xin chuckled softly and tapped her index finger lightly.
Bite--!
A crisp, clear sound, yet imbued with a profound resonance, erupted from where the two swords clashed!
However, at the very moment that crisp sound of impact rang out—
Centered on Qin Hao and Wu Xin, the void within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles suddenly rippled with terrifying, pitch-black waves, visible to the naked eye, like the surface of a calm lake tossed with a boulder!
Wherever the pitch-black ripples passed, space shattered and vanished silently, like fragile glass, transforming into the most essential chaotic currents.
Time itself became chaotic within its range; light was swallowed up, and the Principle were distorted!
Countless thick, chaotic ripples surged toward Earth like a world-ending black tide.
This chaotic ripple was merely a negligible aftershock leaked from the exchange of blows between the two.
However, the destructive power it contained was many times more terrifying, pure, and advanced than the world-destroying salvo from the alien fleet that had just been enough to cleanse the earth's surface.
When this chaotic ripple touched the spatial rift that Qin Hao had previously created, it only paused slightly before passing through it and falling towards Earth.
If this attack were to strike Earth, it would be a cataclysmic disaster.
"Well..."
A sigh filled with endless vicissitudes resounded in everyone's hearts without warning.
The sigh was not loud, yet it seemed to traverse countless ages, carrying a power to soothe all restlessness.
Then, just as that chaotic ripple was about to touch Earth's atmosphere—
Buzz!
Without warning, a gigantic, slowly rotating Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram appeared in the sky above the Earth!
As soon as the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram appeared, it rose with the wind.
No, or rather, it inherently encompasses everything.
With a single rotation, its range expands instantly, enveloping the entire Earth.
The chaotic ripple, powerful enough to easily tear open spatial rifts and annihilate all things, crashed violently onto the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
All attacks were blocked by the Formation Diagram.
"Young people don't know their own limitations; they're being reckless."
The person who uttered that sigh seemed to speak again, their voice still calm, yet carrying the helplessness of an elder looking at a mischievous junior.
In contrast to Earth being firmly protected by the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, the Predators fleets that were unfortunately located in the other direction of Qin Hao and Wu Xin's battle and were not covered by the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram were not so lucky.
Although it was just the aftershock of a casual collision between the two, it was still an incomprehensible and unavoidable catastrophe for these interstellar warships that relied on energy shields and alloy armor!
"An ultra-high energy level unknown energy impact has been detected. The energy properties cannot be analyzed. The defense system is overloaded!!"
Inside the vice president's ship where Lawrence was located, piercing alarms blared incessantly.
"Activate all energy shields, maximum power, emergency evasion!!"
Krus roared at the top of his lungs.
However, it didn't work.
The energy shields, shimmering with a ghostly blue light and capable of withstanding the bombardment of planetary weapons, instantly dissolved upon contact with those wisps of seemingly insignificant chaotic energy.
Next comes the sturdy alloy hull.
Special alloys capable of briefly traversing the edge of stars are like paper thrown into strong acid—quickly dissolving, vaporizing, and returning to Void in the face of that chaotic airflow and shattered Principle.
Silent and stealthy, yet incredibly fast.
One after another, warships, whether massive motherships or agile escorts, were reduced to cosmic dust within seconds if they were even slightly touched by the dissipating chaotic aftershocks.
This includes the new, largest command ship where Krus might be relocated.
Until his last breath, Krus's mind was still filled with boundless fear, confusion, and disbelief.
"This... this was just a tiny, insignificant aftershock of their battle... and it destroyed our entire fleet..."
"What... what kind of being have we... provoked...?"
With this final, unanswerable question in mind, the vanguard fleet of the Predator Civilization, which had roamed the starry seas for hundreds of years, was instantly annihilated.
"Quickly break the seal! The Otherworldly Gods and Three Realms Traitor may have already sensed something amiss here!"
A voice rang in the ears of all the Rebellious Dao Seed Vessel: "After breaking the seal, immediately relocate the Ancestral Star; those guys are coming."
