Avall descended from the heavens, twelve crackling electric dragons roaring forth, enveloping both Chen Rong and Chen Yan in scorching lightning. Within that tempestuous current, Chen Yan trembled, employing the Wood Quintessence to reshape the surroundings, drawing ancient trees close to tightly cocoon him.

Chen Rong, cultivating the Wind Quintessence, fixed his gaze upon Avall; quintessence swirled in his eyes as millions of wind blades suddenly materialized in the void of the Tianxiao Star, these blades, like daggers, sweeping toward Avall in a deluge, intending to shatter him. Alas, Avall was clad in exquisite armor of the God Race, within which surged a powerful radiance, forming layer upon layer of membrane that successfully repelled Chen Rong's razor-sharp wind attacks.

Avall was a warrior of the Bradley Family, equipped with formidable divine weapons and implements, the vast resources acquired by the Bradley Family through their conquest of the star seas having been forged into numerous supreme treasures and distributed among their kin. Though Avall was only at the Third Heaven of the Void God Realm, his secret treasures were exceedingly precious, utterly incomparable to anything Chen Rong possessed.

His armor nullified all of Chen Rong’s assaults, while the twelve electric dragons he unleashed surged downward, blasting the sea of wood formed by Chen Yan into explosions. Amidst the bursting ancient timber, Chen Yan coughed up blood, emerging from the wooden shrapnel enveloped in smoke, his face ashen, yet his eyes burned with bone-deep hatred.

He spat out fiercely, “Avall, even if I become a vengeful ghost, I will never forgive you!” Avall sneered, “Then I’ll ensure you don't even have the chance to become a ghost.” As he spoke, the wind barrier around Chen Rong was struck by the electric dragons and suddenly shattered. Chen Rong was likewise rent and torn across his flesh, his face etched with terror.

Despite being at the same level—the Third Heaven of the Void God Realm—he realized Avall surpassed him in every aspect, whether it was comprehension of the Quintessences, the profundity and refinement of divine power, or the grade of secret treasures; he was comprehensively disadvantaged. He finally understood why Letka had only dispatched Avall, a warrior of his own realm, to garrison Tianxiao Star: Letka knew full well that Avall alone was sufficient to suppress the Chen Family into utter inability to retaliate.

As he tragically comprehended this fact, he knew it was too late; the fate of the Chen Family's demise was imminent. “Did you truly think that by leaving your Chen Family, we wouldn’t find mine-slaves for mining?” Avall scoffed.

“Let me tell you frankly, our Bradley Family recently conquered another stellar domain, and a massive wave of mine-slaves will arrive soon. If your Chen Family remains disobedient, you will simply vanish, just like that Lei Xiao Alliance—fittingly exterminated.

I will cleanse Tianxiao Star first, and then I’ll send word to have everyone on your mining planet executed as well!” Chen Rong was filled with utter despair. Chen Yan was stunned speechless; only now did he realize the terrible consequences that impulsive action lacking true power could bring upon a family.

Alas, there was no medicine for regret in this world; he knew both he and the Chen Family were doomed. “Save my brother!

Hurry, save my brother!” A voice, which absolutely should not have been there, suddenly cut through the air, fraught with burning anxiety. Chen Rong froze, his expression growing incredibly grim, and he roared out, “Chen Lei, go!

Hurry and run!” He had always carried a deep sense of guilt towards this younger sister. Hearing her voice amidst the family’s destruction brought him no joy, but instead felt like falling into a dark abyss, his entire body turning ice-cold.

“Save my brother!” Chen Lei’s voice sounded again, and at that moment, the Golden Armored Beetle War Chariot emerged from the clouds. “Perfect, I can just wipe them all out and save myself the trouble of sending further messages,” Avall chuckled, his eyes sweeping over Chen Lei before his expression suddenly hitched.

He looked past her at Ouyang Luoshuang, seated upon the Golden Armored Beetle War Chariot, and his eyes exploded with an intensely scorching light. This was the last time his eyes would shine so brightly.

The next instant, Shi Yan descended like a sharp, piercing sword, striking directly above Avall's head. It truly pierced his skull.

Shi Yan’s hand plunged directly into Avall’s brain matter, immediately activating the Devouring Quintessence in secret. What followed was horrifying: Avall’s divine body began to desiccate rapidly, as if blood and flesh were being vacuumed out by a pump, swiftly losing vital essence.

In a brief span, only skin and bone remained, and when Shi Yan withdrew his hand, the resulting husk of skin and bone instantly scattered into dust. Chen Rong and Chen Yan stood frozen like wooden figures.

The Chen Family members on the Golden Armored Beetle War Chariot displayed expressions of pure horror, their spines chillingly cold. Shi Yan, however, wore a look of lingering satisfaction, licking his lips and murmuring, “So this works too.

Before, I was too afraid of being discovered, too timid; I never grasped the subtleties of Devouring…” He released his divine sense, letting it drift for a moment, and fixed his gaze upon the sacred peak of the Chen Family. A grin split his face, and he took one step, his figure vanishing abruptly.

Ouyang Luoshuang couldn't even be bothered to follow, not sparing that direction a single glance. “He, he is…” Chen Rong stuttered in shock, suddenly exclaiming, “The man in the portrait?” Chen Lei nodded.

At that very moment, a piercing shriek erupted from the sacred peak of their Chen Family. The God Race clansmen, whom the Chen Family had hated to the core, now looked as if they had encountered vengeful spirits, scrambling desperately to flee that mountain peak.

When Chen Rong and the others turned to look, they saw the mountain enveloped in a crimson shroud; they could only hear terrifying cries but see nothing within clearly. “This, this is?” Chen Rong stammered, at a loss for words.

“When we arrived, we first went to the mining planet; there isn't a single God Race clansman left there,” Chen Lei explained. Chen Rong and Chen Yan were aghast.

Minutes later, Shi Yan returned, clad in new black robes, casually strolling while shaking a finger. His hands were stained dark crimson—the color of blood.

He approached Chen Lei and Chen Rong, asking, “Are there any remaining God Race clansmen on Tianxiao Star?” Chen Rong shook his head. Shi Yan frowned, then inquired further, “Where is the nearest concentration of God Race clansmen?

What is their approximate scale, and is there an Origin God among them?” “Yes, there is a God Race Origin God powerhouse stationed nearby on the Tianfeng Star,” Chen Rong quickly replied. “Direction!” “East!” “Very good.” Shi Yan glanced at Ouyang Luoshuang, paused in thought, and said, “My power has recovered significantly; you don't need to accompany me.

If you have matters elsewhere, you are free to depart on your own.” “I don't know where the Domain Sea is,” Ouyang Luoshuang stated calmly. “Have you considered returning to the Divine Grace Continent?

You may not know, but the Divine Grace Continent today is entirely different, capable of rivaling any high-grade life star,” Shi Yan said after a moment of silence. A flicker of emotion crossed Ouyang Luoshuang’s eyes; she moved her brow slightly, then replied, “I will certainly return; it is my homeland.

But not yet. My master treated me well; I must at least see him and clarify anything that needs saying…” “And now?” “No hurry.

Wait until you locate the Domain Sea for me and send me directly there; that will save me a great deal of trouble.” “Very well. Go wait for me at that mining planet for a while.” “Agreed.” “Go there directly.” Shi Yan opened his hand, and starlight condensed in his palm, outlining an intricate void array.

Using his own divine power as the conduit, he etched a Gate of the Starry Sky. The other side of that gate was the Chen Family's mining planet.

Ouyang Luoshuang doubted him not at all, stepping straight through. A warmth bloomed in Shi Yan's heart.

He said to Chen Lei, “I will not return to Tianxiao Star, but I will go to that mining planet. This gate will remain open for one day.

If you wish to leave, prepare yourselves within this day and use this gate to reach the mining planet.” With that, he transformed into a streak of starlight and headed eastward, thus launching a god-slaying journey destined to shock the Lei Xiao Star Domain. “What is his background?

Why is he helping us?” Once Shi Yan departed, Chen Rong looked at Chen Lei, his face etched with confusion. “I don’t know either,” Chen Lei shook her head.

“Lord Lei made the wisest decision; she stopped us from sending messages to Letka and instead actively sought out these two, earning our Chen Family a glimmer of hope,” Chen Deqiao praised, briefly recounting the events. “Letka has sent messages across the entire star sea, instructing all dependent forces to search for this person; this shows he is extraordinarily exceptional.

Perhaps the hard times for our Chen Family are truly ending,” Chen Rong’s eyes brightened, and he immediately declared, “Have the family clansmen prepare; we will leave this place and live in a new environment from now on.” “Yes!” Cloud Thunder Star in the Lei Xiao Star Domain was the most famous trading hub in the domain, drawing warriors from all factions for commerce, resulting in a complex populace. “Have you heard?” “Have you heard?” “I heard there’s a killing star here, specifically targeting the God Race.” //Book Fan Tower Fastest Text Update www.shumilou.com No Pop-ups No Ads// “I heard many God Race members have been killed; the God Race strongholds near us have vanished completely.” “Three God Race Origin God realm experts have been slain, and hundreds of Void Gods and Origin Gods are dead.

Every stronghold belonging to the Bradley Family has disappeared in the wake of this person’s passage.” On the streets of Cloud Thunder Star, in teahouses, and within numerous private chambers, similar conversations were constantly taking place. Many local powers within the Lei Xiao Star Domain had already learned through their own channels about the major events occurring in the star sea: an outsider youth was currently running rampant and slaughtering the God Race members who were enslaving them.

Almost every day, news arrived that another group of God Race clansmen had been annihilated; every day brought news of this man killing like a deity. In a private chamber on Cloud Thunder Star.

Several elderly men sat with grave expressions. Heavy barriers were erected around the chamber, preventing even a fly from passing through.

They were representatives of the local powers of the Lei Xiao Star Domain, vassals to the God Race, those who had wisely submitted to the tyranny of the Bradley Family for many years. Now, because of one man, they had gathered together.

“What is your assessment?” the oldest among them asked, his eyelids drooping. “Elder Lei, your stance on this matter is key.

Back then, you were the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Lei Xiao Alliance; we all followed your lead.” The others spoke, their eyes flickering uncertainly. “Forget the past; the Lei Xiao Alliance is gone.

I am no longer Lei Bao; I am Lei Tong. You should all know that man’s identity through your own channels: the Bloodthirsty New Sovereign, a future overlord truly capable of contending with the God Race.

Compared to him, the Bradley Family is insignificant. If we can gain his recognition, our Lei Xiao Star Domain might have hope,” stated the elder calling himself Lei Tong, who possessed the cultivation of the Second Heaven of the Origin God Realm, specializing in thunder.

After the fall of the Lei Xiao Alliance, he had changed his identity and gone into hiding, daring not confront Letka directly but operating in secret. “We have endured enough.

If there is hope, we are willing to try!” “That is my sentiment as well!” “Good!”
