Just when only one great province remained in Starspirit Realm, just when its demise was about to be announced, Heavenly Demon Emperor’s army tore through space and appeared like saviors.
Jun Changxiao wasn’t surprised by this outcome.
Actually, after seeing that Heavenly Demon Emperor’s subordinates possessed high-grade starship warships, he had pondered whether a connection existed between the two.
“Alas.”
Gu Tianxing shook his head. “As expected, they’ve still become Heavenly Demon Emperor’s running dogs.”
His understanding of Starspirit Realm still remained from long ago. In fact, this realm had undergone a revolution, overthrowing the original Realm Lord and completely becoming a stronghold controlled by Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Previously, they mainly strengthened themselves through plunder.
Now, though still primarily focused on plunder, the acquired resources all went to Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Therefore, the true master was Heavenly Demon Emperor hiding in the shadows.
There were many other controlled major realms. On the surface, they seemed no different from before, but they had long since become tools of plunder.
In other words, if Xuanyuan Realm hadn’t hidden back then and Gu Xuanyuan had died in battle, its fate would naturally have been the same as Starspirit Realm.
“The meaning has changed.”
Jun Changxiao said seriously, “Now it’s no longer about rescuing Corpse Attendants, but rescuing the entire realm.”
The System said, “This guy has found himself another reasonable excuse.”
In fact, Jun Changxiao’s targeting of Starspirit Realm was primarily to avenge Xingyun Continent. Since this realm was related to Heavenly Demon Emperor, the grudge naturally had to be transferred over together.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Warship after warship flew out from the rift, then hung suspended in the firmament. Their numbers grew more and more numerous, the sinister aura increasingly dense.
“Second Senior Brother.”
Su Xiaomo said excitedly, “My blood is burning!”
Leading troops to repeatedly breach Starspirit Realm’s cities during this period had been too boring and tedious. Since Heavenly Demon Emperor’s army had come, they should be able to have a satisfying battle!
“Be careful.”
Li Qingyang said with a serious expression.
Still as cautious as ever, still seeking stability.
“What a pity.”
Su Xiaomo said, “Junior Brother Ye isn’t here.”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Gradually, thousands of warships gathered in Starspirit Realm’s firmament.
“Crack!”
“Crack crack!”
The lower holds opened simultaneously. Creatures that seemed human but weren’t flew out from inside—their faces were fierce and ugly, their entire bodies emanating murderous aura.
Two warriors flew out from the main warship.
One was a tall, large middle-aged man; one was a short, small middle-aged man. From their attire and appearance, they seemed to be brothers.
“Heh heh heh!”
The tall, large middle-aged man made a strange laugh and said, “Over these years, you’re the first to dare cause trouble on Our Emperor’s territory.”
As he spoke, subtitles slowly appeared on screen: ‘Eight Heavenly Dragons—Killborn King.’
“Little brother.”
The short, small middle-aged man said, “Let’s use your and my fists to send this trash to the afterlife.”
This person was one of Heavenly Demon Emperor’s Eight Heavenly Dragons—Overgrowth King.
That’s right.
The two were brothers.
Though different in height, they had the same personality—bloodthirsty and cruel, brutal and merciless.
Different from the previously eliminated Garuda King and Deva King, these two brothers acted and fought together regardless.
Upper-tier Heavenly Mystery Realm cultivators who also liked to team up—the danger level was extremely high.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Jian Guixu said, “One each.”
Since Heavenly Demon Emperor had sent reinforcements, battle was inevitable.
“No.” Jun Changxiao shook his head. “I’ll fight both of them.”
“……”
Jian Guixu’s mouth twitched.
From the aura emanating from the two large and small middle-aged men, they should be among Heavenly Demon Emperor’s Eight Heavenly Dragons. One person fighting two—that was really…
“Fine.”
Jian Guixu took a step back. “They’re yours.”
Since he wanted to show off, he had to give him the stage.
“Whoosh—”
Jun Changxiao slowly rose from his original position, then became level with the two brothers.
Overgrowth King said indifferently, “So eager to die?”
Both his expression and words were full of contempt, as if he hadn’t taken the opponent seriously at all.
“There’s something I need to say.”
Jun Changxiao removed the outer robe draped over him, then interlaced his ten fingers, doing warm-up preparations before battle. “Don’t underestimate me, or your fate will be the same as Garuda King and Deva King.”
Hearing this, the two brothers’ expressions immediately changed.
“Boy!”
Overgrowth King said in a deep voice, “What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t understand?”
“Clang—” Jun Changxiao summoned the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. Two fingers pressed against the blade, sliding from the hilt to the tip. Through the blade’s reflection, one could see the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he said, “Those two were killed by this lord.”
This movement, this bearing—even through the screen, one could feel the rich handsomeness.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Hearing his words, Overgrowth King and Killborn King completely released their cultivation, their gazes turning cold. “You’re Eternal Sect’s Sect Master Jun Changxiao!”
Don’t misunderstand.
The two releasing their cultivation wasn’t from rage, but instantly entering a state of alert.
Garuda King and Deva King’s cultivation wasn’t inferior to theirs. Since the opponent admitted to being the killer, they naturally had to be extremely careful.
“Indeed so.”
At this point, Jun Changxiao had no need to hide.
“No wonder we searched so long without finding you—turns out you were hiding in Starspirit Realm, even inciting the Corpse Attendants to rebel!” Overgrowth King said coldly.
“Cut the nonsense.”
Jun Changxiao said, “This lord is pressed for time. You all hurry up and come die.”
The two brothers exchanged glances, their gazes gradually filled with intense killing intent.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, cold sharp sword light shot forth.
Overgrowth King and Killborn King hastily dodged to the side, their palms gathering sinister evil power as they looked toward Jun Changxiao flying toward them with sword in hand, saying in unison, “Seeking death!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Pitch-black power erupted, transforming into towering massive waves pressing forward.
Thus began Jun Changxiao single-handedly fighting two upper-tier Heavenly Mystery Realm cultivators. To save costs and conserve special effects, the camera tactfully turned toward the ground.
“Kill! Kill!”
Eternal Sect’s army spurred their mounts forward, brandishing blades as they charged.
Their mission remained to breach the last province, thereby completely saving Starspirit Realm.
“Stop them!”
The Heavenly Demon Emperor army that came to provide aid wouldn’t stand by idly. Large numbers of Heavenly Demon soldiers flew down, blocking Eternal Sect’s necessary path.
The two armies met.
A great battle was about to erupt!
This was also Eternal Sect’s first time directly confronting Heavenly Demon Emperor’s army head-on.
So then—would the final decisive battle still be far off?
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The thousands of warships in the firmament all gathered light, powerful energy cannonballs roaring out one after another, exploding toward Eternal Sect’s army.
“Step step!”
“Step step step!”
Xiao Zueji rushed forward with quick steps. During the running process, special effects activated—his entire person instantly transformed into Iron Man, then waving his shield, he shouted loudly, “Shield Guard!”
“Whoosh—”
Flowing light shields rose into mid-air, suddenly splitting into countless numbers.
“Boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
In an instant, energy cannonballs and shields collided, producing dazzling brilliant light.
“Crack!”
Xiao Zueji shifted his body into a tilted position. Behind him, the mech manifested a support point that steadily held up his back, keeping him maintained at a forty-five degree angle facing the firmament. Flowing light flickered at his left and right hands, condensing into two several-thousand-barrel Gatling guns.
“Rat-tat-tat!”
“Rat-tat-tat!”
The gun barrels rotated, blue light sprayed forth.
From defense to tilting his body and raising guns to sweep fire toward the sky, Xiao Zueji’s performance was executed in one smooth motion, completely showing no sign that his injuries had just healed.
“Boom boom!”
Under powerful and concentrated firepower bombardment, the cumbersome warships floating in the high sky were undoubtedly sitting ducks. The result was being riddled with holes, then exploding on the spot.
This was just the beginning.
After Xiao Zueji proactively attacked, Xue Rengui had already issued orders. Nearly ten thousand War Cavalry Hall members lined up in formation, taking out RPG rocket launchers from their spatial rings one after another, infusing them with Immortal Sound power and beginning to gather powerful cannonballs.
“Open fire!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Ten thousand shots fired together, each one hitting its mark!
Jun Changxiao and the two Eight Heavenly Dragons’ battle belonged to the upper-tier level, destined to consume massive amounts of funding. The camera sensibly moved away, but the scene below was even bigger—for a moment, it didn’t know what to do.
Forget it.
Just go to black screen.
Everyone, please imagine the battle yourselves.
