Chapter 411: Talking and Laughing, the Masts and Sails Turn to Ashes

In the vicinity, the knights suffered terribly; some had their heads melt away, while others exploded. The area was filled with human torch-like figures, as if the flames of hell were flickering.

Surrounding the Great Qi Prince were numerous glowing scriptures, each illuminating dazzling, star-like characters across the sky. These were sacred texts, not possessing world-shaking power, but capable of transforming danger into peace and preserving his life.

However, his feet were still engulfed by flames, which were spreading up his calves. The situation was extremely dire. Qi Yu recited true scriptures, empowering the sacred texts.

Simultaneously, he activated a supreme secret technique from the domain of artifact control, intending to seize the energy tower!

All of this happened in a flash, too quickly for any bystander to react to such a drastic turn of events.

In an instant, like a volcanic eruption, large numbers of powerful evolutionaries were incinerated into black ash.

Knight Yang Heng was like a wounded beast, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his face. After witnessing the sudden change, he immediately lunged forward.

Mu Qing's beautiful face had initially held a smile, but in an instant, it became the difference between heaven and hell. Her expression froze, then she seemed to go mad, screaming as she charged forward.

Chu Feng's expression was incredibly complex, changing repeatedly: from initial shock, anger, and sadness, then to astonishment, and finally to shock and joy.

This sudden change truly made his powerful heart falter, as his hand, raised in mid-air, had already tensed, ready to strike down.

Had he not mastered the ultimate breathing technique, which allowed his spirit and body to merge into one, granting him reactions far superior to other evolutionaries, he would have nearly given the kill order.

At the last moment, he forcefully stopped his hand from dropping and waved towards the distance, narrowly averting a nuclear bombardment.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power without reservation. Energy essence spewed from every pore of his body; like a human-shaped space battleship, he traversed the sky, swift and fierce.

Fearing something might happen to Lin Nuoyi, he moved frantically, simultaneously gathering all his energy for a long-range attack!

With a crackle, a lightning symbol flashed in his left palm, condensing into a lightning spear which he hurled immediately.

In mid-air, thunder roared, and dazzling beams of light threatened to blind onlookers as the lightning spear shot across the sky, striking Yang Heng with a bang.

Although he reacted quickly and dodged sideways, he was still pierced through his left shoulder, a large spray of blood erupting and leaving a gaping wound.

However, his body was only slightly impeded. He continued to lunge forward, wishing he could tear Lin Nuoyi to shreds immediately. He saw no other enemies; he only wanted to eliminate the woman in white.

Even though she was of unparalleled beauty, Yang Heng still regarded her as a demoness. His heart was bleeding; they had been a group of elite knights with boundless potential, the very foundation for the Great Qi Prince to achieve sainthood, yet in an instant, they were almost entirely annihilated.

The root of the chaos was this woman. Her otherworldly figure and tranquil aura were like those of a banished immortal, yet with a single thought from her, the forces of the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty were turned to dust.

A snowy white sword light flew towards them; it was the Geng Metal energy cultivated in Chu Feng's lungs, transformed into a resplendent sword light that swiftly moved to block Yang Heng.

Chu Feng was anxious; the distance was still a bit far, so he could only launch a long-range attack for now.

Simultaneously, he unleashed a bright red flying sword, like a crimson flood dragon emerging from magma, spiraling upwards before diving down to strike Mu Qing.

Yang Heng and Mu Qing both targeted Lin Nuoyi, attacking frantically, intent on killing her immediately.

"You natives all deserve to die!"

Yang Heng, holding a radiating silver saber, fiercely countered Chu Feng's Geng Metal sword qi, carving out streaks of white saber energy that split open the ground and destroyed forests.

Mu Qing, with disheveled hair, also screamed as she fought the flying sword, closing in on Lin Nuoyi.

During this process, Chu Feng, holding the Vajra Bodhi, approached at lightning speed, finally drawing near.

Lin Nuoyi was not flustered; she remained calm and had already seen him. Her white attire stood out prominently amidst the vast expanse of flames, untouched by the blaze, fresh and ethereal.

At this moment, she possessed a stunning beauty, having accomplished such a significant feat—single-handedly annihilating the forces of an evolutionary imperial dynasty on a "star road." Every gesture she made emanated an ethereal beauty.

Qi Yu was trying to seize her energy tower, hoping to control it and reverse the tide of defeat.

But he was disappointed. The energy tower had barely been pulled a short distance by him before it rapidly spun, broke free from that area, and moved towards Lin Nuoyi.

"A Superstar Energy Tower!" he cried out, his face filled with shock, his heart convulsing and bleeding. He felt boundless loss; this was even more astonishing than they had anticipated.

Yet, he missed his chance, just like that.

A Superstar Energy Tower! If only he could seize it, given enough time, he could establish an evolutionary imperial dynasty even more magnificent than the Great Qi.

Everything was too late. That woman, who appeared exceptionally beautiful with a serene and peaceful demeanor, had made him lose everything in an instant; all his forces would be buried here.

Qi Yu cried out loudly; this was the first time he had lost his composure. Even after experiencing so many near-death encounters on the star road, he had never reacted like this.

Having already arrived on Earth, entered the star his ancestors had once conquered, and even glimpsed the hope of achieving sainthood, he ended up suffering a crushing defeat at the last moment.

His heart bled, his body convulsed, and his soul trembled. He was utterly unwilling to accept it; his foundation was destroyed, collapsing at the end of the road, just one step away from the light and the very place of success.

The ancient tower's body surged with energy, a magnificent and ancient aura seemingly emanating from primeval times. It instantly descended, enveloping Lin Nuoyi.

At the same time, Chu Feng roared, his hair whipping backward in the strong wind, and hurled the Vajra Bodhi.

He had originally intended to save such a domineering strike for the Great Qi Prince, but seeing Yang Heng's gleaming long saber slashing towards Lin Nuoyi, he had no choice but to throw it decisively.

However, he also employed a subtle technique, not throwing it with full force but attaching a surge of spiritual power, enabling him to guide and control the gleaming bracelet at any time.

Knight Yang Heng's silver saber shattered in his hand, breaking into pieces, while a mass of black flames spread out and erupted in front of him.

That was the Lunar Fire Essence, a very high-level energy.

Yang Heng's chest, abdomen, and other areas were touched by the black flames, leaving him riddled with holes by the Lunar Fire Essence. His body trembled, and he staggered backward, unable to withstand such flames.

"Descendants of failures, all of you die!" he howled in agony, forcefully throwing the broken saber in his hand towards Lin Nuoyi.

At this moment, Chu Feng could not stop it, but no tragedy occurred. The cold, gleaming broken saber struck the energy tower but was immediately repelled, unable to penetrate it.

Chu Feng's anxious heart finally settled. The so-called Superstar Energy Tower was truly mysterious.

Simultaneously, he used the attached spiritual energy to activate the Vajra Bodhi. Because it hadn't been thrown with full force this time, its speed had already slowed after hitting the silver saber and expelling the Solar Fire Essence.

He didn't fully control it, but merely gave it a gentle nudge with his spiritual power, changing its direction and sending it past the furiously attacking Mu Qing.

Mu Qing, once bitten, was twice shy. The last time, she had been severely burned by the Lunar Fire Essence, which had led to Chu Feng's successful ambush and her crippling.

Now seeing these black flames again, she instinctively recoiled in fear, even extinguishing the anger and impulse to retaliate against Lin Nuoyi, and quickly retreated.

Chu Feng vibrated the Vajra Bodhi with his spiritual power, making it spew Lunar Fire. Immediately, some black light splattered onto Mu Qing, causing her to scream in terror.

In fact, Chu Feng's target was not her at all; he was merely "hitting the rabbit while raking the grass." His true main objective was to attack and eliminate the Great Qi Prince.

Chu Feng's spiritual power suddenly erupted, and after finally impacting the Vajra Bodhi, it decisively withdrew.

The remaining Lunar Fire Essence within the Vajra Bodhi completely gushed out, crashing into the area ahead.

There, one withered yellow paper after another floated in the void, but they were all glowing, then burning, like one blazing sun after another!

All the papers bore characters, illuminating and imprinting themselves into the void.

Those were sacred texts, words written by true saints, but before they were brought here, their terrifying energy had been worn away, leaving only an inexplicable peace.

This was because the stronger the attack launched by extraterrestrial beings when entering Earth, the more terrifying the counter-attack force from the domain would be. So, if they truly possessed saint-level energy and engaged in confrontation, this place would directly turn into a living hell, and all things would be destroyed.

Even so, with only peace and no saintly energy, while the Great Qi Prince was protected, his feet were also ignited, making it difficult to fully protect himself.

He wanted to persevere, hoping to endure that brief moment. If he successfully passed through this deadly trial, it would be like a true dragon returning to the sea or a Vermilion Bird soaring through the nine heavens.

At that time, which native on Earth could stop him? The Superstar Energy Tower and everything else would all be his for the taking, and that beautiful and unparalleled woman would face his most terrible punishment!

But now, the Vajra Bodhi flew over, carrying dense Lunar Fire Essence and pouring it down. This was a disaster.

In this area, the Great Qi Prince was surrounded by scriptures floating in the air, not only protecting him but also shielding those nearby.

In fact, only those close to him were still alive; everyone else had been instantly annihilated, body and soul.

This was because that group of people was too strong; the Earth's will currently did not allow them to set foot in this ancient land, marking them as important targets to be eliminated.

The Lunar Fire Essence poured down, black light surging, breaking the balance. Many scriptures were already decaying and burning, but now, with added fuel to the fire, the destruction was even more rapid.

In an instant, the protected individuals all screamed as the sacred texts around them exploded and continuously vanished.

"Save me!"

A knight, his face contorted in pain, wailed as his silver armor melted, causing his flesh and blood to sizzle and emit smoke, before he immediately exploded into pieces with a bang.

"A heavenly punishment!" cried a strong middle-aged man, his face now full of despair and terror as he crawled towards the folded space. But his limbs disappeared, burned to ashes by the flames, and his remaining torso was like charcoal. In his final moments of lucidity, he trembled, his mouth and throat burned through and unable to utter a sound, yet his spiritual perception conveyed: "Years ago, the main forces of our Great Qi Imperial Dynasty, as one of the attacking teams, accepted the command and arrangements of the twelfth-ranked stellar orthodoxy and, along with other teams, invaded this star through the 'star road' of Mount Lao. The result was a devastating disaster, leaving countless corpses behind. Now… we face heavenly punishment again!"

He withered at a visibly rapid speed, then turned to dust in the wind, his final fearful thoughts sounding like the reflection and repentance of a ghost.

Still others remained defiant until death, howling, "Prince, you must avenge us! Kill all the natives on this planet."

Lin Nuoyi took action again. Inside the energy tower, she directly ascended and crashed towards the Great Qi Prince.

The sacred texts, already being destroyed by the impact of the Lunar Fire Essence, now struck by the energy tower, disintegrated even more rapidly, collapsing completely.

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. He had originally thought Lin Nuoyi had been reckless this time, finally acting so impulsively, more hot-blooded than him, but it now appeared that everything was still under her control.

However, this was also astonishing, and he admired it.

She was confident, and everything was within her expectations.

The Great Qi Prince howled, his hair disheveled, saying, "Natives, descendants of failures, you will all be annihilated sooner or later!"

He knew the tide had turned and he could not persevere, so he decisively turned around, wanting to rush into the folded space. Without the protection of the sacred texts, he would die immediately.

Chu Feng's spine glowed; dense energy transformed into a dragon-snake, surging out of his body, then like a golden war spear, it pierced through the air.

The war spear was dazzling, its radiance terrifying, piercing through Qi Yu's back, exploding there and scattering blood.
