"Whoever offends my Blue Star shall die!"
The frigid voice instantly halted the Ice River Beast's path. It was clear that if Ye Xuan didn't act, another nation would be annihilated.
Screech~~
A piercing sonic wave emanated from the Ice River Beast's maw. The sound alone forced the surrounding onlookers to retreat repeatedly. The beast had clearly sensed the ant bathing in lightning, provoking it.
Gulp~~
Lin Feng and the others watched, swallowing their saliva, their gazes fixed on the unfolding scene. Aila and Cecilia had also rejoined Lin Feng's group. The former Heavenly Empress of the Dark Papacy, Miluo, and the Resistance Angels, among others, were pale-faced. The aura of world-ending destruction far surpassed their imaginations.
"Members of the Xuan Alliance, heed my command! Everyone retreat 3,000 miles! No one is to enter!"
"Otherwise, you shall bear the consequences!!"
The domineering voice boomed from within the lightning. Lin Feng, Cecilia, and the others exchanged glances. "We obey!!"
Immediately, a voice echoed through the heavens, "The Alliance Leader has ordered that no one approach within 3,000 miles of Fusang territory, or face death!!"
The resounding voice shook countless forces from all factions.
Then...
Everyone turned their gaze to the man bathed in lightning in the center of the arena.
The Alliance Leader of the Xuan Alliance!!
Good heavens... to think such a powerful being existed on Blue Star.
Gulp~~
They quickly swallowed again, understanding that it was fortunate such a presence existed. Otherwise, the entire Blue Star would have been slaughtered by this colossal beast.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains whole. They wouldn't be spared either!
Lightning flashed, imbued with spatial energy, and a spear thrust directly at the Ice River Beast.
Seeing the ant within the lightning provoke it, the Ice River Beast lashed out with a tentacle, like a celestial pillar, towards Ye Xuan. Those 3,000 miles away could only watch, swallowing their saliva.
Oh my god, can that Xuan Alliance leader be a match for it? That beast looks incredibly powerful!
Bang~!!!
Lightning clashed with the tentacle. In the next moment, blood splattered everywhere. The Ice River Beast's tentacle was pulverized. Clearly, it had underestimated Ye Xuan's strength, while overestimating its own defenses.
One spear strike severed a tentacle of the Ice River Beast.
"Good heavens!!"
Aila watched the scene, her eyes blazing with fervor. "The Alliance Leader's combat prowess is truly heaven-defying."
"I estimate his strength is not at all inferior to the Star Lord of Planet Atlantis."
The scene before them made Aila sigh involuntarily. This was no ordinary might.
Screech~~
In immense pain, the Ice River Beast slammed its remaining seven tentacles onto the ground of Fusang, causing the entire nation to tremble as if experiencing an unprecedented earthquake.
Its two enormous, piercing eyes stared intently at Ye Xuan, the ant.
Then, all seven tentacles simultaneously lashed out towards Ye Xuan, clearly intending to crush him. At this moment, its powerful life force caused the severed tentacle to begin regenerating, its vitality frighteningly robust.
"Oh my goodness, can... can the Alliance Leader really be a match for it!"
"That beast is too monstrous!"
"Such strong recovery! We can only pray the Alliance Leader wins, otherwise, we might all perish!"
The members of the Xuan Alliance watched the scene with grim expressions. As for the other factions, they were all sweating for Ye Xuan, as if the one battling the Ice River Beast in the arena wasn't Ye Xuan, but themselves.
"It seems I need to go all out."
Ye Xuan, witnessing the Ice River Beast's incredible resilience, dared not be careless. As the master of Blue Star, he held all the advantages of time and terrain. With a flash, Ye Xuan moved through the seven sky-obscuring tentacles and struck directly at the Ice River Beast's brow.
With a bang, the Ice River Beast's entire head shattered. However, Ye Xuan showed no joy, for a voice from Yuna informed him:
"Beep! Master, Yuna has located the Ice River Beast's heart. Only by shattering its core can it be slain!"
The next moment, Yuna provided Ye Xuan with a X-ray view of the beast. There, within its throat, several meters below its massive maw, was its core.
"Excellent!"
Having learned of the Ice River Beast's weakness, Ye Xuan smirked and, with terrifying power, struck towards its mouth. However, a hint of mockery flickered in the Ice River Beast's pupils.
In the next instant, a waterfall of corrosive venom poured from its mouth, eroding Ye Xuan's lightning.
In a flash, it was submerged in the toxic deluge, and then...
To the horror of countless onlookers, Ye Xuan was swallowed whole.
Thus, all lightning vanished from the heavens and earth.
What!!
Seeing this, everyone, including the Xuan Alliance, was shocked.
"The Alliance Leader... was swallowed by that beast!?"
A heavy dread fell upon everyone's hearts. The Alliance Leader was their backbone, their last hope for Blue Star. If anything happened to him, they would all be exterminated.
"No!"
"Look! That beast's state is very wrong!!"
Following their gaze, they saw the hundred-meter-tall beast roaring in agony, its eight tentacles wildly smashing the ground of Fusang. The entire frozen nation was reduced to rubble, a scene of devastation.
This... could it be that the Alliance Leader isn't dead?!
Zzzt~~
As they hesitated, a terrifying flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the Ice River Beast's throat. In the next moment, with a deafening roar, the Ice River Beast's heart was blown apart. A piercing shriek erupted from its maw.
Thump~
Then, the Ice River Beast's eight tentacles fell limply from the sky to the ground, causing another fearsome tremor. Its head then crashed to the earth, becoming a corpse. Streams of blood flowed from within.
Zzzt~~
Ye Xuan then emerged, radiating intense lightning, shrouding him and the Ice River Beast. Outsiders could not see clearly into the arena.
"System, collect it!"
Ye Xuan had not forgotten the random mission triggered by the system. Such a powerful existence becoming his clone would be immensely profitable. He couldn't miss this opportunity. The pervasive lightning served as the perfect cover.
BOOM!!!!
The terrifying lightning power carved a shocking, deep pit into Fusang. From afar, it was a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
After the earth-shattering boom, the Ice River Beast's corpse was no more. Only a potent stench of blood permeated the air. Besides that, Fusang lay utterly annihilated. Heaven and earth fell into a deathly silence.
Gulp~!
The various factions looked towards the man in the arena, wielding the Heaven-Battling Thunder Spear. Due to the lightning, his appearance was indistinguishable. Of course, this was intentional on Ye Xuan's part.
With a flash, Ye Xuan vanished from the scene, leaving behind only a majestic voice in the air, "Regarding today's events, all nations and factions should act wisely."
