Ice Peak evaporated completely in that instant. Even the ice layer within a thousand kilometers was vaporized in a flash, exposing the silver-gray metallic ground beneath it.
"Spirit Magpie King!"
Flame Ruins King's furious roar shook the starry sky.
"Get out here, you old hag!!!"
From deep within the main planet, a silver-white beam of light shot into the sky.
Within the light emerged a slender, humanoid bird-like figure.
Her entire body was covered in silver-white feathers with a metallic sheen, and a pair of similarly feathered wings spread from her back.
"Flame Ruins King!"
Spirit Magpie King's voice was shrill and grating, filled with indescribable hatred.
"You humans have gone too far! Chaos Lord made a breakthrough, and you immediately turned your blades on my Spirit Magpie Race. Do you really think we're pushovers?!"
"When you sent assassins after my junior last time, why didn't you think that was going too far?"
Flame Ruins King sneered. The flames around him surged, turning him into a dark-red meteor that crashed toward Spirit Magpie King.
The two King-level Invincible experts collided explosively in the starry sky. Space was like a crumpled sheet of paper in that instant, as countless black fissures spread in all directions from the point of impact.
Ice Qiong King and Crimson Flame King moved at the same time.
Ice Qiong King became an icy-blue streak of light and shot toward the northeast, while Crimson Flame King charged toward the southwest amid a mass of blazing flames.
Fang Yan stood on the Footless Bird's boarding ramp, watching the battlefield in the starry sky, already ablaze with firelight, and took a deep breath.
"Little Fox Fairy, let's go."
The Footless Bird turned into a silver streak and flew toward the southwestern region.
The spacecraft raced along at an altitude of three thousand meters, while the scenery beyond the portholes sped past.
The surface of Cold Nest Star's main planet was covered in ice that never melted year-round. But now, that ice had been blasted full of holes by the fleet's bombardment. Explosions and flames were everywhere.
Fang Yan stood before the porthole, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield below.
The southwestern region was one of the main planet's three secondary continents, dominated by glacial canyons.
According to intelligence, an Immortal squad of the Spirit Magpie Race was stationed here.
"Master, there are life-sign readings thirty thousand kilometers ahead. They are suspected to be Immortal Level experts!"
Little Fox Fairy's voice suddenly rang out.
Fang Yan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance through the porthole.
A silver-white figure was rapidly moving through the glaciers. Wherever he passed, Human Race World Lord warriors fell in droves.
It was a member of the Spirit Magpie Race, clearly heading to the front lines to support the Immortal experts.
"High Army Lord?"
The corners of Fang Yan's lips rose slightly.
"Perfect. I'll use him for practice."
He took the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear from his World Ring. Its shaft was pale cyan throughout, and a faint, chilling gleam flowed across its tip.
This spear was one of the rare treasures brought back from Wind Abyss Star. While it was not comparable to a heavy treasure-class weapon, it could already be considered a divine weapon in battles below the Immortal level.
Fang Yan took a deep breath, and the Wind-Following Wings behind him abruptly unfolded.
Six translucent cyan wings traced six dazzling paths through the starry sky as they shot toward the silver-white figure!
A glint of cold light arrived first, then the spear flew like a dragon! (٩(๑^o^๑)۶)
The Spirit Magpie Race Immortal had clearly sensed the danger as well. His body suddenly stopped, and he turned around.
"A World Lord?"
When the Spirit Magpie Race Immortal saw Fang Yan's cultivation level, he froze for a moment before a vicious grin appeared on his face.
"You're courting death!"
With a flap of his wings, countless silver-white feathers detached and turned into a skyful of light blades, raining down upon Fang Yan.
Every light blade contained the power of Immortal force, enough to effortlessly tear apart the defenses of any Peak World Lord.
The vicious grin was still on the Spirit Magpie Race Immortal's face as the feather light blades filled the sky and shot toward Fang Yan.
"Time Pause."
Fang Yan raised a hand and snapped his fingers.
The starry sky within a hundred kilometers froze in that instant.
The whistling feather light blades stopped in midair, and the vicious grin on the Spirit Magpie Race Immortal's face stiffened.
Unhurriedly, Fang Yan beat the Wind-Following Wings. The six translucent cyan wings drew an elegant arc through the frozen space-time.
He flew behind the Immortal Army Lord, and the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear in his hand slowly thrust forward, its tip pressing against the vital spot at the back of the man's head.
Time began to flow again.
Pfft—
The spear tip pierced through his skull. Immortal divine power exploded, and before the Spirit Magpie Race Immortal could understand what had happened, his divine body shattered with a boom.
"The first."
Fang Yan pulled out his spear, his face still wearing that refined, gentle smile.
Little Fox Fairy's voice came through the communicator, her tone rather subtle.
"Master, wasn't that finger snap just now... a little too showy?"
"It's called having a sense of ceremony."
Without changing expression, Fang Yan beat his wings and flew toward his next target.
In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, he had slain four Immortal Army Lords in the southwestern war zone using the same method.
Time Pause, coupled with the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear's piercing power, left ordinary Immortals utterly unable to fight back before Fang Yan.
The enhancement from his Xun Cosmic Crystal, combined with the hundredfold amplification of the Divine General Legacy, had raised his Human Race Clone's combat power to the High Marquis level. Against High Army Lord-level Immortals, it was nothing but a massacre.
However, just as Fang Yan was preparing to seek out his fifth target, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from deep within the glaciers on his flank.
"Human Race World Lord..."
The voice was low and hoarse, with a texture like metal scraping against metal.
The glacier exploded with a bang, and a silver-white figure shot into the sky. Four pairs of enormous wings spread behind him, every feather burning with silver flames.
Peak Marquis.
Fang Yan's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained calm.
"A mere World Lord dares run wild on the territory of my Spirit Magpie Race?"
Before the Spirit Magpie Race Marquis had even finished speaking, he transformed into a silver-white bolt of lightning and shot toward Fang Yan.
Fang Yan immediately activated Time Pause.
However, his opponent directly burned his divine body. The moment the power of time touched him, it was violently scattered.
The Spirit Magpie Race Marquis grinned viciously and struck down with a claw. Fang Yan raised his spear to block, but he was still sent flying and crashed into a towering glacier.
"Master!"
Little Fox Fairy's voice carried a trace of anxiety.
Fang Yan broke free from the glacier and dusted off his robe.
"Die!!"
The Spirit Magpie Race Marquis threw back his head and roared. The silver flames burning around him surged violently, and his aura broke through the limits of Marquis in that instant, forcefully entering the Initial King-level.
"Burning his divine body?!"
"To force me to burn my divine body, a mere World Lord like you can die with pride!"
The Spirit Magpie Race Marquis now possessed King-level combat power.
The silver flames on his four pairs of wings burned so fiercely that even the void twisted. His speed reached a terrifying level, and in an instant, he appeared before Fang Yan.
Fang Yan did not dodge. He raised his right arm, aiming the wide sleeve of his cyan robe at the silver-white figure.
His smile remained as gentle as ever.
