Chapter 529 – Despair and Recovery
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The speed of a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that could fly could not surpa.s.s the speed of the Blue Knight. This was the first point that made people despair. Judging from the Blue Knight’s speed, it was likely that the Blue Knight had already arrived before they had flown out of Hechi Star Field.
At that time, what could he do even if he had left the star? The Blue Knight did not care who they were or what kind of thoughts they had. As long as they dared to appear in front of him, they would be slaughtered at the first moment.
If the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p could not travel, what about the teleportation formation?
The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p needed time to travel and a lot of preparation as well. However, the teleportation formation was not needed. Theoretically, if there were enough formations, they could teleport people to an extremely distant region in an instant.
Unfortunately, this method was impossible to succeed. Someone had tried it before and then came to a desperate conclusion.
In the Hechi Star Field, the teleportation magic formations couldn’t work anymore. This wasn’t the Blue Knight’s intentional blockade but the battle from before.
In the battle before, the Blue Knight and the Evil King had attacked with all their strength. That power had destroyed the world, almost shaking the entire Hechi starfield.
Although it was not as exaggerated as destroying this star area, it caused a lot of changes. It caused the s.p.a.ce of this star area to fluctuate, and it could not calm down for a long time.
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was impossible to teleport. The teleportation magic formations could not display their proper effect. This result made people despair.
“Why! Why!”
At this moment, countless people collapsed in the atmosphere of despair. It was as if they could already predict their ending. The entire Hechi Star Field was currently shrouded in despair.
The thick atmosphere of despair enveloped everything, And the slaughter continued.
Rumble!
Aloud sound rang out. The azure spear pierced through a small star. It directly turned into dust in the starry sky and fell into the distance. A pale blue light flashed past. Then, the Blue Knight pa.s.sed through it and arrived ahead.
In the surroundings, the many living beings who had died and the star shattered turned into wisps of pure Qi Blood and rushed towards the Blue Knight. He swallowed them in one gulp.
After swallowing the Qi Blood, the Blue Knight revealed an intoxicated expression. He had recovered some of the strength that he had consumed previously.
“It’s delicious…”
He looked forward and felt a new feeling. His entire body was filled with a brand-new strength.
“Wait for me…”
He turned around and looked forward. Numerous resplendent lights appeared. They were the radiance of stars. There was a faint light of life interweaving within them.
A smile appeared on the Blue Knight’s face as he looked at the radiance. Then, he stepped forward and walked to an extremely distant place. In the silence, the slaughter continued.
Moreover, it was getting closer and closer. And all of this happened in less than half a month. At least a hundred life stars were ma.s.sacred in just half a month. The Blue Knight mercilessly ma.s.sacred them. Even the life stars were shot down, turning into dust in the starry sky.
This was not the end. As the Blue Knight advanced, the slaughter continued. At this moment, the people who survived did not relax. Instead, they became more and more desperate as the news spread.
Along with the slaughter, the Blue Knight’s strength also became stronger. The strength he had consumed before had been recovered after a large amount of slaughter. He had even swallowed the origin of others, and even the curse on his body had been suppressed.
Theoretically speaking, he had already achieved his last goal and did not need to continue killing. He was not like Chen Heng and w.a.n.g Zhong, who possessed the slaughter divinity. The more Chen Heng and w.a.n.g Zhong killed, the stronger they would become.
The killing was meaningless to the Blue Knight. It was just for the collection of Qi Blood. But even so, he did not stop his pace. Instead, he killed even more. To a certain extent, he was a demon who enjoyed killing. He was happy to see all kinds of b.l.o.o.d.y and cruel scenes.
Time pa.s.sed by.
“Tm close. I’m finally close…”1
In the Hechi Star Field, countless people watched the Blue Knight’s whereabouts nervously. In the distance, the Blue Knight pa.s.sed by and kept killing. He was getting closer and closer to the Hechi Star Field.
Geographically, the Hechi Star was the center of the Hechi Star Field. And the Blue Knight had killed the entire Hechi Star Field along the way. Everyone felt hopeless about this result.
The Blue Knight was about to descend. They all understood the result of this matter. This meant that the Hechi star was about to walk on the path of the previous stars. It would also be destroyed under the Blue Knight’s power.
The living beings on it would face a ma.s.sacre, and no one would be able to survive. Most of them felt despair, but a few chose to fight, wanting to give their all.
Just like that, time slowly pa.s.sed.
Finally, that day had arrived. In the galaxy, a tall figure stood there. At this moment, he looked at the life star in front of him with a surprised expression.
“Hechi Star…”
Blue Knight stood outside Hechi Star. At this moment, he looked at the life star that appeared in front of him with a strange expression.
‘Even the center of Hechi Star Field has declined as well?
He raised his head and looked ahead. This thought then flashed through his mind.
Blue Knight had existed for a very long time. The Five Knights had existed for a very long time. As the top existences in the universe, they had existed for a very long time. They were all old antiques.
1
In the past, the Blue Knight naturally knew many secrets. He also knew some ancient deeds that had long been buried in history.
He knew the origin of the Hechi star field before him. He also knew that the Black King had originated from Hechi Star. He also knew the glorious history of Hechi Star.
In the era before the Blue Knight had risen, the Hechi Star was extremely prosperous. It was well-known in this galaxy, but only a few people didn’t know about it.
However, the time had pa.s.sed, and it had declined. The once prosperous star had become like this. It had completely disappeared, leaving only a dull and dead silence. There was nothing special about it.
It was just like an ordinary life star. There was nothing special about it. If the people back then had come to this star, they probably wouldn’t have recognized it as Hechi Star.
Thinking of this, the Blue Knight sighed.
“Since it has already declined, let me send you on your final journey…”
Standing in the galaxy, he raised his head and sighed softly. “Since it can’t fade away in its glory, let me send this star on its final journey.”
“It’s also good to completely wipe out the remnants of your legacy, Black King…”
His eyes emitted a scarlet color as he spoke, appearing somewhat demonic and somewhat terrifying. A cold intent emerged, accompanied by a powerful strength.
The Black King originated from Hechi Star. This was something that the Blue Knight had known for a long time. As the origin of the Black King, Hechi Star had many secrets and even some of the things left behind by the Black King.
As the enemy of the black king, it was better to destroy all of these things. This would also be safer. This was still the legacy of a king, and even the Blue Knight did not dare to underestimate it.
So if it could be erased, it was better to erase it. It would also eliminate the hidden dangers. With the support of enormous power, an long azure spear gradually descended under the Blue Knight’s will, and under the Blue Knight’s gaze, it charged forward.
The long spear did not look too big. It was just the size of an ordinary long spear. However, at this moment, it had a terrifying power that could not be matched and could not be targeted. It was like a divine weapon representing the judgment of the entire universe’s will. It was a judgment of the opponent
in front of it.
It was so powerful that it made people suffocate. It was so terrifying that it made people despair. The aura of death enveloped the entire Hechi star. At this moment, the Hechi planet was shrouded in despair.
Because at this moment, anyone who raised their head would be able to see a scene. The sky was broken, and the clouds and smoke dispersed. The earth was shaking, and only a pale blue light could be seen flickering. Like a world-destroying divine weapon, an incomparably huge spear rushed forward,
heading towards this planet.
‘The aura of destruction appeared. Even if it wasn’t an expert, just a mortal could feel the terrifying power contained within the spear, suffocating and despairing.
“No! No! No!”
“What did we do wrong? ! Why did we do this? !”
“Is this world going to be destroyed? !”
‘Waves of despairing cries rang out, resounding throughout the entire planet. The end of the world was coming. At this moment, everyone understood this result and felt despair for it.
At the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters in the corner of the Hechi Star, Tarilo looked up at the sky and the azure spear that seemed to be tearing the sky apart. It seemed like it was going to destroy the entire planet. Tali Lu’s face turned extremely pale, and her body began to tremble.
The scene that seemed to be familiar to her seemed to have triggered some memories in her mind. She could not help but tremble, and she felt an intuitive sense of terror.
She stood where she was and looked at the distant sky. At that moment, the memories in her mind were connected, and she seemed to be recalling the scenes from the past.
In the past, in her hometown, it seemed like the same scene on the planet where she used to be. The sky was torn apart by the long spear, and every light inch was tom apart. Whether it was the sky, the earth, or the endless sea, they all dissipated under the light of the long spear.
The power was roaring, and a terrifying aura spread out, sweeping across the sky in all directions. After that day, Tarilo fell from the high and mighty princess and became an ordinary person.
And now, this Hechi Star was also going to repeat the fate of her hometown? Tarilo’s body trembled. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she had a faint feeling of great fear.
The scene in front of her completely overlapped with the past. However, would the result be the same as before?
Tarilo did not know. She stood on the spot, and finally, she looked at the other person in front of her. In front of her, Philip stood on the spot alone. At this moment, he was also looking at the sky on the horizon.
However, unlike the others, Philip stood on the spot. His expression was very calm. He looked like a calm surface of the water, without the slightest ripple.
The terrifying scene in front of him that seemed like the end of the world seemed not to be able to affect him at all. No matter how he performed, his expression did not change.
At this moment, he was like a G.o.d-subduing needle. Just standing there made everyone subconsciously feel at ease. Tarilo looked at the calm and indifferent Philip and sighed. Then, her originally troubled heart could not help but slowly recover and become calm.
Although she did not have much hope for Philip, a trace of antic.i.p.ation still appeared in her eyes due to some sort of expectation. As she looked at Philip in front of her, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
It was the same for everyone else. At this moment, Keo and the other members of the Red Lotus Society were waiting silently in the outside world. They were speaking in a unique melody.
They were praying and venting the fear in their hearts, hoping that they would be able to survive this calamity.
In the distance. A tall Golden Dragon Tree stood tall within the Oriel family’s manor, appearing extremely unique.
The Golden Dragon Tree appeared very beautiful. Every leaf and branch on it was golden, as if it was forged from some unique type of gold. However, at this moment, there are some changes to the Golden Dragon Tree.
The golden leaves gradually withered and fell in all directions. Inside the Golden Dragon Tree, there seemed to be something being nurtured and about to mature.
They were two unique life forms. As if sensing the upcoming crisis, the two bodies that were originally nurtured in the Golden Dragon Tree and were slowly nurtured with the help of the Golden Dragon Tree’s power were gradually recovering at this moment, as if they were about to be born.
Along with this process, some changes were also gradually taking place, and they were about to rush out.
“The Blue Knight…”
In the distance, Malikado held Gunali in his arms as he looked at the changes in the sky. Sensing the enormous power hidden within, his face could not help but reveal a fearful expression.
Malikado’s strength was above average. He had already reached the peak of the Fourth Rank and was only one step away from the Fifth Rank. With such strength, even in the Red Lotus Society, only Philip and Tarilo could defeat him.
However, even now, nothing can be changed. The dark blue radiance that had invaded the entire star flickered. As the long spear descended, it seemed as though it was about to pierce through the heart of the real star, turning the star into dust. It was so violent and terrifying.
Under the effects of such a powerful force that did not seem like a human’s, no one could feel calm, and no one felt that they would be able to survive.
Naturally, Malikado was also ordinary. Under the power of the Blue Knight, his decent strength did not have any room for display. He was not much different from the others. He would still die here and become dust in the starry sky.
However, he was not in despair yet. It was not the time yet. Chen Heng’s existence was the confidence that gave him a glimmer of hope. After such a long investigation period, he had already understood Chen Heng’s background and past. Naturally, he had a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, he lowered his head and looked at Gunali. Strictly speaking, he looked at the golden pendant in Gunali’s hand.
The golden pendant looked unique. It looked like there was a broken bone hanging on it. There were inexplicable patterns on it. It had a sacred and inviolable power that shocked people.
“Since you were able to save the Qika Star from the Crimson Knight…
Standing where he was, Malikado held Gunali in his arms. Various thoughts flashed through his mind as he looked at the pendant in front of him. “Then, please appear today and save this star from the Blue Knight!”
Waves of inexplicable words were said. At this moment, the entire star was enveloped by an atmosphere of despair. A large amount of power of faith was activated, affecting all directions.
Everyone was in despair. They looked at the long azure spear in the air as it descended. At this moment, they already knew their ending.
However, in the end, there were still variables that appeared.
Rumble!
The spear descended. Just as it was about to pierce down, it seemed to be obstructed by some unique power, unable to descend truly.
An invisible force field appeared on the surface of Hechi star, blocking the Pale Blue Knight’s power at the critical moment, preventing it from destroying Hechi Star.
“on?”
The Blue Knight could not help but feel a little surprised with this scene. He turned around and looked in the direction where the power was coming from. In that direction, a huge altar appeared and exploded at this moment.
“Phew… I’ve finally caught up…”
Under the huge altar, Lu Yao looked at the array formation and altar that had already been activated and finally let out a sigh of relief.
“This star almost got destroyed…”
Beside Lu Yao, Ye Zi and the others were standing there. At this moment, their faces were also filled with fear. They seemed to be a little frightened by the situation in front of them.
They were just a little bit away from turning into dust in the galaxy. Along with the Hechi stars beneath their feet, they would become dead. Fortunately, at that critical moment, this altar was finally activated by them, temporarily blocking the power of the Blue Knight.
Thinking of this, they could not help but turn around and look at the center of the altar. There, a huge sarcophagus was lying quietly. There were mysterious and special patterns engraved on it, as if it contained some kind of supernatural power, attracting everyone’s attention.
At this moment, the power of this sarcophagus was the source of the magic formation, and it was also the absolute power that could block the Blue Knight.
It was also the legendary king, the corpse of the Black King.
“So that’s how itis…”
The Blue Knight stood alone in the galaxy and felt the power blocking him. He couldn’t help but come to a realization. “The Black King in Hechi Star left behind the activated magic array?”
Hechi star was the Black King’s hometown. After the black king reached the peak, he stayed on Hechi Star for a long time and left a lot of traces on it. It was extremely normal for this star to have the magic formation set up by the Black King.
The Blue Knight was more concerned about the sarcophagus than this..
