SWOOSH—
Suddenly, a streak of light appeared in the sky. From the footage of the Sixth Corps being attacked, it was certain that this type of powerful weapon had destroyed the Seventh Fleet.
Drulu’s figure flashed, leaving an afterimage as he covered several kiloters in an instant.
BOOM—
A loud explosion sounded behind him. Drulu slowly turned his head, watching a mushroom cloud rise into the sky. He then continued to walk eastward, step by step.
"Did we kill him?" As the dust and smoke gradually cleared, Number One couldn’t help but ask.
Emperor Bai and the others, however, stood with their arms crossed, their expressions grave. If he had survived the previous nuclear explosion, and dozens of nuclear bombs had failed to kill him, then this single one certainly wouldn’t either.
But there was another possibility: he might have charged out of the Space Gate in the instant before it closed. With the Demon Clan’s army annihilated, what use was there in him erging alone?
But one thing was certain: this was a high-level warrior of the Demon Clan, a very, very high-level warrior. To be able to walk leisurely out of the center of a nuclear explosion that had occurred just half an hour prior, this person’s physical fortitude and overall power had reached an unbelievable level.
Indeed, satellite caras soon captured the man’s figure again. He was now less than two hundred kiloters from the frontier province. Although he walked very slowly, his aura radiated intensely. The strong energy fluctuations were detectable.
Without so extraordinary data, it would be nearly impossible for satellite caras to capture a person on the ground unless they were aiming at a fixed coordinate. The cara could precisely capture him because he himself emitted a strong aura that allowed the energy detectors to locate him.
Seeing this, Number One’s expression beca grim.
Emperor Bai looked around, then slowly stood up.
The other four Emperors smiled wryly and also stood. "Your Excellency Number One, it seems we must take action. If we are defeated, please drop the nuclear bomb when we have him preoccupied."
"I understand. Be careful."
With the survival of all humanity at stake, everyone was prepared to sacrifice themselves for human civilization. As the leader of a superpower, Number One had understood this from the mont he assud power.
"I’m going as well," Wang Lan said, standing up.
"Don’t be reckless. We are old, but you are the future of Jade Country," Qing Emperor said with a sneer.
"If there is no present, how can there be a future? Although I might not be as strong as you in combat, I am a dical Star Martial Warrior, after all. I can still provide logistical support. Besides, I have instant teleportation and the ability to be reborn. My contribution will be no less significant than my mother’s."
Hearing this, the four Emperors exchanged glances. Truthfully, they didn’t want Wang Lan to accompany them. Their instincts as powerful warriors told them this battle would be tough; the Demon Clan expert might be outrageously strong.
Although Wang Lan was very powerful now, he was far from his peak, and his future achievents would certainly surpass theirs. But what Wang Lan said indeed made sense.
The world’s strongest dical Star Martial Warrior, possessing combat power only slightly inferior to theirs and the ability to use instant teleportation to escape the battlefield at critical monts. Wang Lan’s participation would indeed be as significant as adding another Fla Emperor to their ranks.
"Alright," Ming Emperor said calmly.
The five of them boarded the shuttle, blasting off into the sky under Number One’s solemn gaze.
Drulu had already released his potent aura; if there were any strong warriors in this world, they should be able to sense it. If not, then too bad; I’m determined to destroy this world. Even if the Ancient Gods were to revive, they couldn’t stop . Let’s see if the Ancient Gods dare to traverse the chaotic space and attack my ho world.
Drulu walked slowly, not because his speed was truly lacking, but because he was waiting—waiting for the human race’s top warriors to appear. Unlike other mbers of his clan, who would resort to any ans for victory, he represented the Demon Clan, and he was also a God Warrior of the Demon Clan.
The honor of a God Warrior could not be desecrated. Like the Iron-blooded Warriors, who, despite possessing advanced technology, preferred primitive combat thods, this was his creed.
"They’re here!"
As his words fell, a flying vehicle streaked across the sky at high speed. Then, five figures slowly descended, landing firmly five hundred ters in front of Drulu.
"If I am not mistaken, this country should be known as the Great Jade Empire, right? Are you the elite warriors of the Great Jade Empire? Your power is barely acceptable," Drulu said indifferently, looking at Wang Lan and the others.
"Barely acceptable? Then taste our power!" Emperor Bai, always quick-tempered, took a fierce step forward the mont the words left his mouth. Instantly, he ford a sword mudra with two fingers, and a purple thunderbolt crackled at his fingertips.
A purple thunderbolt traced an arc. "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"
BOOM— In the void, a bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder materialized, slamming hard into Drulu’s chest. Drulu crossed his arms in front of his body, and the Divine Thunder struck his forearms.
BOOM— Drulu’s figure shot backward, his feet gouging a long trench in the ground.
Drulu’s mouth curved slightly as he gently shook his arms. "Sowhat interesting. It’s a bit numbing."
But when Qing Emperor and the others saw this, their expressions instantly grew serious.
"That’s the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder executed using the Tiangang Five Thunder thod. None of us would dare to withstand it head-on."
"Yet this Demon Clan mber withstood it effortlessly, rely feeling a bit numb? This Demon is probing the limits of our strength..." Ming Emperor’s eyes grew even more profound, and his chilling voice made Wang Lan’s skin crawl.
"Tiangang Five Thunder thod?" Wang Lan asked in surprise. "Is it one of the Cultivation Techniques I brought back from the Fairy Cloud Sect?"
"Yes, and we owe you and that girl Ruoyun our thanks. Thanks to the Cultivation Techniques you brought back, we’ve experienced a resurgence, and our strength has risen to a new level."
At this mont, Emperor Bai was enveloped in the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder; or rather, he *was* the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. With an explosive burst, he vanished like a streak of light.
In an instant, the Demon Clan mber before them also vanished. At least, he disappeared from naked eye. But the capabilities of those present ant they no longer needed to rely on their eyes to perceive the world.
In their perception, the space of the battlefield was instantly compressed, brought to a state of relative stillness. It was like the still space under the effect of Quicksilver’s superpower.
The surrounding space was relatively still, but the two combatants moved as quickly as lightning. Transford into the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Emperor Bai was an entity of pure offense and defense; though rely punches and kicks, each blow held the power equivalent to a hundred-ton TNT explosion.
But even under such ferocious attacks, Drulu still handled them with apparent ease. This was while his strength was suppressed a hundredfold. Without this suppression, who knew how overwhelmingly strong Drulu would be?
"Should we just stand here and watch?" Wang Lan couldn’t help but ask.
"The Demon Clan mber is probing Emperor Bai’s strength, and we also need to gauge the Demon’s strength. So for now, Emperor Bai is safe. We will intervene when the Demon Clan mber shows killing intent."
Although only a brief mont had passed, Emperor Bai and Drulu had already exchanged thousands of blows.
BOOM— The Demon Clan mber made his first proactive move. A seemingly gentle punch, a light slash with the blade-like spike on his arm, and Emperor Bai’s body was instantly split in two.
But as Emperor Bai was fully elentalized, his body had already beco the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. The split halves instantly turned into two bolts of lightning and rged back together.
With a flash, he retreated to stand beside his four companions.
Both parties resud their previous positions, as if nothing had happened, almost like ti had rewound.
Qing Emperor took out a top-quality Soul Bead and handed it to Emperor Bai. The battle had lasted so long that Emperor Bai’s energy consumption had been terrifyingly high.
"If this is all that humanity’s strongest have to offer, then I don’t think there’s any need to continue this charade," Drulu said, lightly clenching his fist as murderous intent blazed in his eyes.
"Then let’s see if you have the power to back that up!"
This ti, the four Emperors charged toward Drulu almost simultaneously. The space around them visibly compressed; Wang Lan couldn’t see it with his naked eyes, but he could clearly perceive the change.
Only those who had reached a certain level possessed this ability. If any other Star Sea realm powerhouses had been present, they would only have been confused, witnessing nothing but a series of explosions assaulting them.
Emperor Bai was the fastest and the first to reach his opponent. But this ti, the opponent was no longer in the mood to play. He thrust out a kick, fiercely sending Emperor Bai, still in his Nine Heavens Divine Thunder state, flying backward.
Drulu’s foot was covered with a layer of energy that could ignore Emperor Bai’s Elentalization and the lethality of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
Emperor Bai was sent flying. Ming Emperor’s attack followed closely; his hands danced, and two black whips instantly lashed out, aiming for Drulu’s neck. However, Drulu evaded them with movents incomprehensible to an ordinary person.
BOOM— The mont Drulu dodged, Xuan Emperor’s attack arrived, but Drulu still nimbly avoided it.
To Wang Lan, the battle unfolding before him felt like watching three junior warriors fighting a senior one.
The strength of the four Emperors was undeniable, and their coordination was profoundly inscrutable, but Drulu’s realm was evidently a step higher. His dodging, blocking, and counter-attacking were all executed with great ease.
He seed to anticipate attacks from both front and behind, dodging them in advance.
Having practiced the Cultivation Techniques from the Fairy Cloud Sect, the Emperors’ abilities had surged, and the power of their Star Martial Skills was naturally very strong. But, as with a nuclear strike, a powerful attack is useless if it doesn’t hit its target.
Drulu was not only ahead in energy levels but also surpassed them in his realm of strength. The four Emperors could comprehend the attacks they made, but Drulu’s attacks were incomprehensible to them, and they struggled to defend effectively.
The blasted-away Emperor Bai charged back furiously. But before he could rejoin the fray, Xuan Emperor was struck back by Drulu. Xuan Emperor was not as fortunate as Emperor Bai, who had rely been sent flying. As Xuan Emperor hurtled back, blood gushed from his mouth; he was clearly severely injured.
This was where Wang Lan’s usefulness beca apparent. He quickly cast a Life Halo on Xuan Emperor. The halo moved with its target, continuously nding his injuries. Sensing the halo’s effect, Xuan Emperor, fist raised, once again charged into the battle.
Before them lay golden sand and the vast desert. Yet, amidst the fierce battle between the five combatants, it was as if a sandstorm raged. Though the sky had been clear, it now grew dark, and the world itself seed to dim.
