Boom--!
Another deafening roar of thunder!
Behind Yin Xusi, the lightning that had filled half the sky suddenly vanished, condensing into a thunder sword that, imbued with the might of heaven, shot out swiftly and domineeringly, piercing through the sky!
Like a cold judgment from heaven!
Unstoppable!
There's no way to dodge it!
Yin Xusi turned his head slightly, only able to watch with despair in his peripheral vision the thunderous sword manifested from the Divine Treasure of Blue Heaven's Wrath, drawing ever closer to him...
Until it fell, engulfing the entire person!
boom!
A dazzling bolt of lightning exploded, ravaging the heavens and earth, terrifying enough to make one's heart tremble!
A figure plummeted from the sky in a sorry state, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud, splattering blood that stained the mud and rubble red!
It was Yin Xusi!
Thanks to a defensive, life-saving weapon, he was only injured, not killed.
But the speed has already dropped to zero!
Ignoring the pain, Yin Xusi struggled to get up, wanting to escape, but as soon as he looked up, his eyes froze uncontrollably!
Ning Chuan had reached the edge of the pit, his eyes lowered, coldly looking down!
Boom!
Thunder roared across the sky!
Above Ning Chuan, the lightning disappeared once more, transforming into a gigantic dragon that coiled in the air, exuding a terrifying and malevolent aura!
"Hold head high--!"
With a furious roar, the thunderous dragon pounced down in a ferocious attack!
As he passed the edge of the pit, Ning Chuan's black hair billowed wildly in the wind, making his dark eyes appear even colder!
The next moment, the Thunder Dragon rushed to the somewhat panicked Yin Xusi. Its massive body suddenly swung, tightly binding him, and then burst forth with blinding lightning, using thunder to strangle him!
In an instant, lightning flashed Lei Ming thunder roared, creating a deafening spectacle!
The defensive artifact covering Yin Xusi's entire body was a hazy veil, blocking the attacks of the Heaven's Wrath!
But only temporarily.
The gauze garment transformed into a thin, ethereal fabric at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A sense of fear welled up in Yin Xusi's heart. He looked up at Ning Chuan's cold eyes, and the chill in his body intensified!
They might actually dare to kill him!
Yin Xusi forcibly suppressed his panic, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, " Ning Chuan, I am a direct descendant of the Divine Kingdom's royal family. My status is far beyond that of the Divine Guardian Guard!"
"And I came here under orders!"
"Killing me will come at a very high price!"
"The royal family's high-ranking officials, and even the king himself, will be furious and punish you!"
"All the geniuses who descended from the Divine Kingdom will stand against you!"
Unable to move, Yin Xusi could only look in the direction of the crowd and said, "You can ask them if the royal family's higher-ups could refuse an order to kill you!"
The words were finished.
The faces of those geniuses who had been summoned all changed. If it weren't for Yin Xusi's royal status, they would have already cursed him out!
That's absolutely inhuman!
They used to ignore them, but now that they've gotten themselves into big trouble, they're trying to drag them down with them.
What if Ning Chuan strikes first and gains the upper hand, if we admit it?!
Although there were several hundred divine sons and holy maidens present, if they were to truly fight Ning Chuan to the death, eight or nine out of ten would be wiped out!
But to deny it is to openly defy God's command!
If investigated, this is no small matter; in serious cases, it could even lead to the extermination of the royal family!
The onlookers were extremely conflicted.
Ultimately, it was the geniuses from the several Great Sun Grade forces who had previously met with Yin Xusi who stepped forward, albeit with nervousness, to confirm this claim.
However, they only acknowledged the explanation and didn't dare to ask Ning Chuan to release the person.
"Brother Ning, the revival of Martial Star is a long process. Our ultimate goal is only one: to become stronger and rise again!" One of them bowed respectfully, adjusting his attitude, before tactfully suggesting, "Why not speak with His Highness Yin Xusi? Perhaps we can gain more insights!"
Yin Xusi held his breath, staring intently at Ning Chuan, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. After a moment, he merely slowed down the attack of the Heaven's Wrath Divine Treasure to a certain extent and said calmly, "Why do the direct descendants of the Yin Family always descend upon Martial Star during every era of revival?"
As he spoke, he activated his Mind-Reading Art to sense Yin Xusi's thoughts.
Ning Chuan was unsure whether Yin Xusi's soul had any limitations.
To be on the safe side, it's best to ask.
Yin Xusi frowned, seemingly struggling, until the life-saving artifact he had used was destroyed. His expression changed, and he hurriedly deployed another life-saving artifact before answering:
"Destroy all Divine Art- level inheritances left over from the glorious era of Martial Star!"
His words and actions were very genuine, consistent with the behavior of someone forced to leak secrets in order to save his life!
However, in Ning Chuan's eyes, this was just a disguise that could be easily seen through.
It wasn't that Yin Xusi's disguise was too bad.
It was simply because Ning Chuan had a relatively clear understanding of his various thoughts!
With the opening of the Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure, Ning Chuan's soul underwent a qualitative change, and his Mind-Reading Art ability also skyrocketed!
Back then, investigating the initial-stage Earth Realm Divine Child who traded the Shapeshifting Garment was extremely difficult; it was practically impossible to perceive any specific information, and they had to rely almost entirely on guesswork.
But now, Yin Xusi, Earth Realm Perfection, cannot stop Ning Chuan from reading minds.
Ning Chuan has enough information to collect useful data.
Yin Xusi wasn't lying; destroying the Divine Art of the Martial Star was indeed one of the purposes of his descent.
But this is only a secondary objective.
The weighting is very average!
"The order to descend upon Martial Star came from the True God Yin Zhu, and the primary objective... is to seize Martial Star?!"
Ning Chuan felt a sense of doubt.
Conquering Martial Star was also a goal of the Military Department of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
In fact, during past eras of resurgence, officers from the Military Department of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom who descended upon Martial Star have repeatedly ruled the world!
However, when the era of revival comes to an end, the defense mechanism of the Martial Star will conduct a self-examination!
All extraterrestrial beings that have not left will be annihilated!
Therefore, the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's plan on Martial Star could not last.
Even if a local powerhouse at the level of General-Bestowing is cultivated, and there is no possibility of betrayal, they may still die midway due to the dormancy of the Martial Star and the difficulty of cultivation, and will not be able to live to see the next era of revival.
" The Yin Xusi, or rather the Yin Zhu, refers to a kind of occupation that shouldn't be simply about ruling the Martial Star, or at least not a temporary one!"
Ning Chuan seemed lost in thought.
A Venerable God spanning billions of years must have a deeper meaning.
Thinking of this, Ning Chuan remained calm and then asked Yin Xusi, "What's the reason?"
"Sever all hope for the rise of Martial Star!"
Yin Xusi said with a cold face, "In the battle that marked the end of Martial Star's glorious era, the King was seriously injured and dissatisfied with Martial Star. He did not want to see Martial Star regain its glory!"
"Without the inheritance of Divine Art, even if some geniuses with the potential to become kings emerge on Martial Star, their future potential won't be very high!"
Just like you!
Yin Xusi looked at Ning Chuan and said, "If you acquire multiple Divine Art and cultivate them to a high level, you might be able to escape the Divine Kingdom's blockade of the Martial Star by relying on the power of these Divine Art. Thus, you can soar to great heights, like birds flying high in the sky and fish leaping in the sea, and even condense Divine Seal in the future to become True God!"
Ning Chuan remained outwardly calm, but his inner world, unseen by anyone, was in turmoil.
Yin Xusi's words were still only half true and half false.
Destroying Divine Art was indeed to prevent those geniuses with the potential to become kings from growing too powerful!
However, the purpose of prevention is not to stop escape!
Instead, they are worried about those potential kings occupying the Martial Star!
