The Stellar Mountain was crowded with almost all the powerful warriors of the Stellar Race. Many civilians were relocated. Some powerful ones from affiliated races nearby were urgently mobilized to offer support.
The battlefield was more than 30 miles to the south of the 12 mountains. There, thousands of the Stellar Race were present. In the sky above them, Clan Leader Hua of Stellar Race was fighting Song Qi with his warriors. Hua kept moving around in midair while Song Qi covered himself up with purple vines.
The more than a dozen powerful ones from the Stellar Race and some of other mysterious races resorted to their own methods to attack the purple vines.
Stellar Race resembled humans in appearances and physical sizes. But Stellar Race had a vertical mark in between their eyebrows which was like a third eye. It was this vertical mark that gave Stellar Race the ability to teleport.
Stellar Race also cultivated Xuan Energy and used weapons. The Clan Leader and two patriarchs mastered Profound Meanings, but the Profound Meaning learned by the two patriarchs were clearly of low level and could not enhance their abilities significantly.
Hua hadn"t made a move since he felt Song Qi was quite a dangerous figure. He felt afraid to do anything ill-considered. He asked the other powerful ones to attack Song Qi first so he could use the chance to feel Song Qi out.
Admittedly, the Wood Origin Bloodline was impressive. In addition to attacking and trapping enemies, it could provide defense. Song Qi had covered himself in layers of layers of purple vines. No matter how many were attacking out there, the vines could not be destroyed, and Song Qi was immune from harm. Even if some vines were torn apart, Song Qi could generate more.
Also, the others felt Song Qi"s vines could be extended beyond limit. There were hundreds of vines extending downward, entangling dozens of the Stellar Race at once.
Once trapped, the average of the Stellar Race"s fate was sealed. The vines gave out purple glare and rendered Xuan Energy useless, much like Demon Trapping Chains used at the Lu Family.
Many of the Stellar Race here knew how to teleport. That being said… without Xuan Energy, there was nothing they could do. They could only be trapped and watch as their lives were sucked out of them.
"Give Lu Li to me or I will slaughter all around the Stellar Race!"
Song Qi said with murderous intent in somewhat non-standard ancient language. Hua and the others of the Stellar Race were confused. They were then angered by the view of dozens of Stellar Race screaming in pain and thrown out, reduced to a bunch of dried bodies.
"Swish, swish~"
More than 10 patriarchs of the Stellar Race made a move. They dared not to move close to the vines but they all released Xuan Energy to attack at the vines from all directions.
Hua finally made a move. He had a black saber in his hand with a glare and powerful qi. It was of Holy Grade. He swung the saber and cut down. With a ray of light piercing through the sky, even the s.p.a.ce was torn apart. The blade was glistening in gold color, containing magnificent and destructive power.
Hua mastered a fourth-rank Profound Meaning of the properties of gold. He didn"t take out his saber before but the death of dozens of Stellar Race made him lose his patience.
As for handing Lu Li over, he did not understand and he would not waste his time in figuring out the meaning. It was also humans that almost exterminated the Stellar Race. The two sides were mortal enemies. Song Qi had killed many of the Stellar Race already, therefore, Hua longed for killing Song Qi regardless.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
His move was obviously more powerful than that from others. The other patriarchs of the Stellar Race and the several of the special races could only break a dozen layers of vines at best. But one move from Hua tore layers after layers apart. In a blink, more than three dozens of layers of vines were cut open.
However…
Song Qi had generated 40 or 50 layers. Soon, the energy in Hua"s move was used up.
"Keep up. Attack one spot and kill him!"
Hua was uplifted by the progress. As long as they could cut open the vines, they must be able to kill Song Qi with so many powerful ones here.
He kept on attacking, and the patriarchs of the Stellar Race got together and launched attacks to one specific spot.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
One layer of vines after another was torn apart. The air was filled with flying debris. Song Qi"s speed in producing vines was slower than the other"s attacks.
"Good!"
Patriarchs of the Stellar Race were delighted. They began to move closer to Song Qi, trying to blast more layers so that Hua of Stellar could kill Song Qi.
"Hmm~"
Right at that moment, Song Qi snorted. Receiving no reaction to the mention of Lu Li, Song Qi thought Hua was determined to protect Lu Li. Song Qi was enraged by the thought. With the spread of intangible qi and energy, the s.p.a.ce with a radius of more than 3000 feet surrounding him froze. He activated the Force Field that was unique to Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
Force Field was miraculous. It was similar to the effect of Profound Meaning related to s.p.a.ce. The Force Field could freeze s.p.a.ce. At the initial stage of Human Sovereign Realm, the Force Field generated could freeze s.p.a.ce with a radius of more than 3000 feet, and anyone below the Human Sovereign Realm would be deprived the ability to move, except the n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors with a perfect mastery of Profound Meaning related to s.p.a.ce.
A warrior could be compared to a kid when at the Xuan Wu, Spirit Sea, and Soul Pond Realm. He or she would reach the adolescent years at the Fate Wheel or Eternal Realm. At n.o.ble Lord Realm, a warrior would be in the flower of his or her years, and the Human Sovereign Realm would be the prime of life.
Human Sovereign, a sovereign in humans. n.o.ble Lords were still only lords. How could lords go against their supreme master"s will?
Force Field was what made Human Sovereign Realm warriors horrifying. After Song Qi activated his Force Field, more than a dozen patriarchs of the Stellar Race and several patriarchs of other races were contained.
"How dare you!"
Hua was as fearful as he was angry. His patriarchs had been more than 3000 feet away from Song Qi. Yet because they were delighted by the progress they made due to the reduced layers of vines, they moved closer and thus had put themselves within the sphere of Force Field…
"Swish, swish~"
The vines shot out and entangled the patriarchs of the Stellar Race. Since they were contained, they could not teleport away and could only stay there and watch as they were trapped.
"Whoosh—"
Hua made a move. Many rays of light shot out as he activated his Force Field as well to slow down the vines to save his patriarchs.
The vines were slowed down but there were simply too many of them. Song Qi kept generating more, pulling the patriarchs towards him. Also, Hua slowed down within Song Qi"s Force Field…
Hua could not keep calm when one patriarch after another was pulled closer to Song Qi. Those patriarchs were the cornerstone of the Stellar Race. Hua was counting on one or two of them reaching the Human Sovereign Realm. If they all died, then the Stellar Race would be at the end of its days.
There were too many vines and those patriarchs could not get out because of the Force Field. Hua might be able to cut off some vines and free a couple of patriarchs, but they might be trapped again soon.
Hua made up his mind. He decided to put up a desperate fight. The only way to save the patriarchs was to kill Song Qi.
"Human, go to h.e.l.l—"
He whooshed towards the vines. Instead of attacking from a distance with rays of sword light, he cut at the vines directly.
When Xuan Energy was transformed into rays of light, the power was reduced. For his Profound Meaning with properties of gold to work best, he had to engage in close combat. Only when using directly could Xuan Artifact of Holy Grade gave full play of its power.
"Hoy~"
He rushed into the vines. With a casual move, the firm vines were cut off like they were nothing other than normal ones. Hua swept his sword and dashed towards Song Qi with overwhelming power.
"Nice~"
In the distance, Ye Cha was overjoyed at this scene. He spoke to Lu Li in a low voice, "Song Qi and Hua are fighting. I hope one of them is killed and the other is severely injured…"
