Chapter 456: Disaster on Planet Auricle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Feng did not even use spatial warp. He only flew through the universe. Soon, he saw a planet in front of him. It was Planet Auricle.
Back then, Lin Feng had defeated the slave catchers of the Skull Chamber of Commerce near Planet Auricle. Thus, the Auricles gave Lin Feng the Sacred Stone of Anathema in grat.i.tude.
Up until now, Lin Feng still did not know the origins of this Sacred Stone of Anathema, but it was very helpful to Lin Feng. Without the Sacred Stone of Anathema, Lin Feng would not be able to comprehend the Law of s.p.a.ce. Then, he would probably have been killed by the fiends, or devoured by the black hole when investigating the fiends hidden in the Matrix civilization last time.
The Sacred Stone of Anathema had given Lin Feng so much help. Naturally, Lin Feng would not forget the Auricles.
Lin Feng flew towards Planet Auricle. When he entered Planet Auricle, however, the smile on his face instantly froze.
!!
The lands of Planet Auricles before him were riddled with pits. There were terrible craters everywhere. Mountains had collapsed, and the earth was rent apart. There was no sign of life at all. Not a single Auricle could be found in sight.
What had the Auricles encountered?
Lin Feng continued to fly down and realized that there were many skeletons of the Auricles below, some strange metal robots, and even the remnants of battleships.
They had clearly encountered an invasion!
Lin Feng knew that there were roughly more than a billion Auricles. It was not a lot, but it was definitely not a small number either. Even if a natural disaster had occurred, they would not have dwindled so much in just a few years. In fact, he had never seen any Auricles alive in all this time.
Lin Feng’s expression became darker and darker. Back then, he had given the Auricles a set of cosmic cultivation techniques. He did not expect that it still could not help the Auricles, and they would suffer such a calamity.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Lin Feng saw magnificent buildings and large robots in front of him. They seemed to be mining.
After all, Planet Auricle was a planet that had given birth to a civilization. It was rich in all kinds of resources. If the Auricles were conquered, the conquerer definitely would not pa.s.s on the natural resources here.
Lin Feng scanned with his mental power. He had already discovered that there were countless ore extraction factories here. There were no intelligent lifeforms. It was all automatically controlled by robot programs.
“Destroy!”
Lin Feng extended his palm immediately, and slammed down hard in an overwhelming strike.
Boom.
The ore extraction factory shattered with a bang and was smashed into the ground by Lin Feng. All the robots were reduced to dust, but this did not ease the anger and killing intent in Lin Feng’s heart.
Where were the billion Auricles now?
Could they all be dead?
At this thought, Lin Feng felt a faint twinge in his heart. He was not an Auricle, but the Auricles ultimately had a trace of connection with him. When he saw that the Auricles had been slaughtered and their civilization was terminated, he was incomparably furious and sad
Lin Feng unleashed all his mental power and searched frantically for everything on Planet Auricle.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, all the ore extraction factories and robots were destroyed by Lin Feng without hesitation.
However, what was this worth to the Auricles? It was ultimately too late.
“Whether there are any Auricles left, even if there is only one of them, I can’t just sit back and do nothing!”
Lin Feng’s gaze was frigid, and his heart was already filled with monstrous killing intent.
…
In a valley, an old man with a wrinkled face was leading many young and muscular men and women to cultivate some kind of technique.
Boom.
Suddenly, one of them’s aura grew violent. A large amount of star power was channeled from the universe above and poured into his body. His body quickly expanded like a balloon.
“I’ve broken through. One life transition!”
The man was overjoyed. Feeling the powerful strength in his body, he was very excited.
“Wiseman, thank you for your guidance!”
This man who had undergone one life transition hurriedly bowed respectfully to the old man.
“No need for courtesies.”
The elder glanced at the young man, but felt no trace of excitement at all. In the past, the powerful Auricles had more than a billion people. Now, there were only tens of thousands of them left, holed up in this valley shrouded in thick fog all year round, struggling to survive.
Although he was the wiseman of the Auricles, there was nothing he could do.
The power of those devils from the beyond was simply too strong. Forget about one life transition, they were definitely not a match even with two or three life transitions.
The only hope was if someone could attain six life transitions. According to the cultivation technique left behind by that deity, only by undergoing six life transitions could one become a planetary lifeform.
Perhaps, that would be the realm of a deity.
However, even the strongest being among the Auricles in the present was only at the second life transition. As for six life transitions, even the wiseman did not know if he would live to see it.
How he wished that the apocalypse had not arrived, and those devils had not appeared. The Auricles had avoided calamity once with the help of a deity, but how could they avoid calamity for a second time?
Right now, the wiseman had placed all his hopes on these tens of thousands of Auricles. He had never thought of revenge. He only hoped that the Auricles could continue living in this valley, and at least ensure that the Auricles’ civilization could be pa.s.sed on.
As for revenge? The difference was too great. He had never even thought about it.
Although the wiseman had never thought of revenge, hatred had always brewed in the hearts of the “remnants”. The tens of thousands of Auricles left called themselves “remnants”. They struggled to survive, and never stopped thinking of revenge in the depths of their hearts.
However, the wiseman had strict orders that the Auricles were not to leave the valley without permission. They could only cultivate desperately.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Suddenly, the valley shook violently again. b.a.l.l.s of flames soared into the sky, and explosions echoed through the sky. The devils’ robots were bombarding everywhere again.
Those devils could not find this place, so they would bomb the forest every day. If any Auricle could not tolerate the bombardment and went out, they would definitely be blasted into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
Back then, Auricle experts who had undergone two life transitions could not stand such vexation and rushed out, but never returned.
Hence, they could only endure it!
The Auricles could tolerate it, but the robots were still loyally carrying out their mission. They wanted to kill all the Auricles, so they had been constantly searching for traces of the Auricles.
If they could not find the Auricles, they would comb through the planet with bombardment. They would find the Auricles eventually.
As usual, the robots bombarded continuously while the Auricles hid in the valley. As they sensed the crumbling mountain walls, many children were trembling in fear, but they did not dare to make any sound.
However, this time, the Auricles seemed to have run out of luck. A laser bomb suddenly landed in the valley.
Boom.
Immediately, dozens of Auricles were blasted to death. Immediately after, a few more laser bombs came. Finally, the Auricle who had just undergone a life transition could no longer tolerate it. He deployed his combat body and stopped the few laser bombs.
“Auricles discovered!”
His action to stop them, however, completely exposed the hiding place of the Auricles.
