Chapter 3622: The Invader
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Time passed by second by second.
An elder of the Star Clan looked up at the sky and murmured, "Time’s up."
Everyone raised their heads to look at the black galaxy above.
The star rifts gradually aligned into several parallel lines.
A visible rift tore open among the stars.
A bright blue star rift energy spilled out from the gap.
As the energy gradually became apparent, the temples of the Ancestral Star Source lit up one by one, each corresponding to a blossom of blue light.
"Huh?"
Fang Heng let out a soft sound of surprise.
Interesting!
Under the influence of the Ancestral Star Source, the star energy across the sky was drawn toward the Star Clan’s capital.
Immediately, a commotion rose in the capital’s square.
The martial artists who had long gathered in the square looked at the star energy raining down and showed expressions of excitement.
It had arrived!
The timing of the star rift’s fission was uncertain, often taking hundreds of years to occur, but whenever it did, it was a great gain!
The star rift energy could not only refine the body but also enhance the strength of the sea of consciousness.
The martial artists condensed their minds and began absorbing the star rift energy.
Soon, they noticed something unusual.
The star rift energy released this time seemed exceptionally pure; not only was the amount massive, but the absorption effect was also excellent.
Likewise, scattered star energy spots fell onto the Ancestral Star Source.
Fang Heng sensed the star rift energy landing on his shoulders and quickly merged it into his body.
"Huh?"
It really worked?
Fang Heng realized that his physical attributes had not yet reached their limit. The star rift energy integrated into his body, modifying it, enhancing his physical vitality, and slightly expanding his sea of consciousness.
Unfortunately, the star rift energy was somewhat limited.
The effect was very slight.
"Something’s off."
Nearby, a tall martial artist from Charles’ team absorbed a small portion of the star rift energy, then opened his eyes and quietly said, "I’ve absorbed star rift energy before, but it never worked this well. Do you think someone might be interested in this energy? Could they attack the Star Clan during the star rift fission?"
Several people looked toward Fang Heng.
Brian muttered under his breath, "No way... could he have really guessed it right?"
Fang Heng also looked up, glancing toward the Ancestral Star Source with a solemn expression.
"I’m not sure, but according to the deductions, the source of this disaster should be arriving soon."
"Oh?"
Everyone followed Fang Heng’s gaze. In the distance, the direction of the Ancestral Star Source appeared calm.
"Who! Who’s there!"
A sharp shout broke the silence from afar.
Everyone turned toward the towers on the outskirts.
Under the night sky, a dark figure appeared, rapidly approaching the Ancestral Star Source.
Brian and the others’ hearts stirred.
It really came!?
"Who! Stop!"
The Star Clan guards on the perimeter noticed the unknown intruder and immediately flew into the air, blocking the dark figure’s path, shouting loudly, "Identify yourself!"
"Whoosh!!!"
The shadow gave no answer. Its speed suddenly surged, passing by the two Star Clan members in an instant.
The two Star Clan members spat out blood and were instantly hurled outward.
"An intruder! Stop him!"
Brian’s heart leapt with excitement. He shouted and flew toward the dark figure, trying to intercept it.
"Hmph!!"
The shadow let out a cold hum upon seeing Brian. Its speed remained unchanged as it flew forward. When Brian got close, the figure punched directly toward him.
"Good!"
Brian specialized in melee combat. With his racial talent, he used all his strength to throw a punch, hoping to crush the opponent completely.
"Bang!!!"
The instant their fists collided, a heavy explosion echoed through the space.
Brian’s entire right arm was instantly obliterated, and he uncontrollably flew backward.
How could this be!?
Brian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He carried the bloodline of the ancient Rock Tribe.
In terms of physical strength, even the God Clan was slightly weaker than him.
He had never thought of himself as invincible, but he had never imagined a single punch could shatter half his body.
"Bang!!!"
Brian crashed heavily into the ground, leaving a deep crater.
Such terrifying physical power!
Who was that person?
"Brian!"
His two companions’ hearts skipped a beat. They never expected Brian to be defeated with a single punch. They quickly flew over to check on him.
Brian’s entire right half of his body had been completely shattered, flesh and blood in disarray. The tall, thin man quickly drew a syringe from his pocket and injected it into Brian’s body.
Brian struggled to prop himself up from the ground, sweat beading on his forehead. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging, eyes fixed on the dark figure above, shouting, "I’m fine! His strength is terrifying. Don’t engage him in melee! Don’t let him escape!"
"Understood."
Charles and the other teammate immediately pursued the shadow.
The intruder’s melee ability was extremely dangerous; they needed to maintain distance and try ranged attacks.
Charles focused on the shadow and condensed a mark in front of his hands.
Instantly, countless red fireballs shot toward the shadow.
Fang Heng did not rush forward first but followed from a distance.
The shadow seemed increasingly familiar; he felt he had seen it somewhere before.
Who could it be!?
The dense fireballs closed in on the shadow.
Just before reaching it, the fireballs’ speed gradually slowed.
Domain power!
Charles’ heart skipped a beat.
The concentrated fireballs carried ancient elemental energy, dozens of times more explosive than normal fireballs.
Relying solely on domain power could not break through!
However, the next moment, everything before her eyes changed drastically.
The concentrated fireballs slowed and then, terrifyingly, rebounded toward them.
What?
The fireballs shot back even faster than their initial speed, carrying an overwhelming force.
Not good!
Charles quickly condensed a defensive barrier in front of her.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
The fireballs exploded in midair before even touching the barrier, engulfing the upper sky in a blazing sea of fire!
"Whoosh!!"
Charles and his two companions flew out of the flames, levitating in midair, glancing back at the still-burning fire element, their hearts filled with fear.
Who was that!
No matter who he was, those two attacks alone proved he had held back.
If the fireballs had hit them directly, they would not have died, but they would have been severely burned.
The sky above continued to burn, blocking everyone’s pursuit route.
