Jiang He's face was ashen.
How could his mental endurance be so weak?
Hu Mei had merely cried out in surprise, and yet his hands were already shaking?
"You can't blame me. It's Hu Mei's fault for crying out too suddenly …" Jiang He glanced at the bundle of Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades that had dropped from the skies and growled, "Let's go!"
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time he spoke, Hu Mei had already carried him and dashed toward outer space.
Though it appeared to have taken a long time, it actually happened in a split second. Jiang He actually had the ability to scoop up the bundle of Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades, but could he care about that now?
Even as he dashed toward outer space, he turned to look at the bundle of grenades that had dropped from the skies and could not help sighing …
His plan had failed.
If he had thrown the grenades, they would have instantly landed in the midst of the Sky Demon legion. However, the freefall was too slow for the elites, and they were completely capable of blowing them up from afar.
…
On Mars.
Molona, the True Immortal Sky Demon champion, frowned slightly and looked up at the skies.
He had been giving a speech, but he sensed danger for some reason.
The profound immortal will of a True Immortal swept out in an instant … and saw a Daemon Fox carrying a Mahayana human away.
"A full-fledged Heavenly Immortal? That Daemon Fox is so fast … the Star Map array outside the homeworld of humans has sealed the dimensions, and I can't use spatial shifting here. It's hard to catch up to her. "
Molona gave up on the chase even as the thought flashed through his mind.
His gaze, however, fell on the bundle of 100 "Heavenly Thunder Hand Grenades".
"What's that?"
That was his first thought.
"Hidden weapons?"
"Blow him up!"
That was Molona's second thought.
Still, he soon suppressed the second thought and clasped his hands behind his back with a cold laugh. Staring straight at the bundle of Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades that were falling from the skies, he declared loudly, "Warriors, there's no need to panic. It's just two thieves!"
"Everyone, it's time to serve the patriarch!"
"Get into formation and charge into Earth!"
His voice reverberated, and without even looking up to the skies, he simply grabbed the bundle of Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades from the distance. He had intended to use that to establish his might and directly crush those unusual hidden weapons, telling the many Sky Demon warriors …
Only a bunch of chickens and dogs were left on Earth, the ancestral planet of humanity!
Therefore, after grabbing the Heavenly Thunder Hand Grenade, Morona sneered and squeezed hard with his fingers.
The next moment, time froze.
From the 100 Heavenly Thunder Hand Grenades that he had crushed, a terrifying lightning burst out.
The thunderbolt quaked heaven and earth and instantly drowned Molona. The four Heavenly Immortal-tier Sky Demons and the Demon Lord who were closest to Molona were instantly drowned as well, followed by dozens of Mahayana elites and hundreds of Sufferance elites …
As Mo Luo spoke, the experts of the Heavenly Fiend Race naturally stood by his side. It was precisely because of this that these experts did not even have the time to react before they were engulfed by the terrifying lightning.
Until death …
They couldn't understand.
What the hell was going on?
The frightening thunderbolts did not stop there. In a brief few seconds, they drowned the entire Sky Demon Legion, and soon … engulfed every direction.
Kaboom!
The entire planet began to tremble.
…
"What the hell!"
In outer space.
Over Hu Mei's back, Jiang He looked toward Mars and could not help cursing out loud when he opened his mouth.
Of course.
There was no air in outer space, which was why sound could not travel.
Only the corner of his mouth could be seen twitching as he cursed, but no sound could be heard. Likewise, he could not hear the world-shaking rumble of the 100 Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades exploding at the same time, and all he could see was the fearsome explosion.
Even so, a rumble seemed to echo in Jiang He's mind on its own.
Since he was standing in outer space, Mars was now a massive sphere in Jiang He's eyes.
And yet, in that very moment, the sphere was quaking violently … earthquakes, volcanoes, and violent eruptions. Minutes later …
Boom!
Mars abruptly shuddered and broke into pieces.
Its bursting shards spread across every direction.
"I … I …"
"Blew up Mars?"
As if struck by a thunderbolt, Jiang He stared blankly at the sight of the planet exploding, feeling as if he was dreaming just then.
With a turn of his hand, he took out a Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenade.
Gulp.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
That thing was that powerful?
I just randomly made something, and it's so powerful?
Come to think of it, if he had blown up Mars, the Sky Demon True Immortals would have been blown to smithereens, would they not?
What a shame.
There were so many Sky Demon Elites, and their treasures were innumerable … Jiang He would not have any spoils of war left after the explosion.
"Master, the Star Core! Mars has actually developed a Star Core!" Hu Mei suddenly cried out in surprise. In a flash, she turned into a silver flash and disappeared from Jiang He's vision, and when she reappeared, she was near some of the planets that Mars had blown up.
Rawr!
The hundred-meter-tall Nine-Tailed Fox reared its head and bellowed in rage. Behind it, the silhouette of a white tiger appeared, and it abruptly opened its maw and inhaled, sucking a shiny pearl that had been hidden among the planets into its belly.
Jiang He could not even react in time.
Star Core?
What Star Core?
But before he could think about it, Hu Mei had already flown back. Her aura was a little weakened, and it was clear that she had expended too much energy in casting that godly technique just now.
She opened her mouth and spat out the shiny pearl, which was fifty kilometers wide and hovered in front of Jiang He like a celestial body. It was crashing left and right, struggling to fly away, but was firmly suppressed by Hu Mei's profound immortal will and immortal strength.
"Master!"
"Quick, suppress the Star Core!"
What the hell is this thing that I have to suppress?
Jiang He's mystic energy surged and pressed down on the Star Core, but when his mystic energy came into contact with the Star Core that was fifty kilometers in size, a tremendous rebounding force struck him and sent him flying hundreds of kilometers away, coughing blood.
"What the hell!"
Jiang He was promptly furious.
That thing could actually retaliate?
"You dog! I even blew up that True Immortal Sky Demon elite, and you think I'd let you hurt me?"
He cursed and flew up, taking out five Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades and aiming them at the Star Core, roaring, "If you dare move again, I'll blow you up too."
Ooom!
The Star Core shuddered, and as if understanding Jiang He's words, it quieted down.
Hu Mei was left gaping.
That move left her stunned … afraid that Jiang He would really blow up the Star Core, she quickly said, "Master, don't blow it up, don't blow it up!"
The Star Core was too precious.
It was worth almost as much as a premium-grade immortal item, and it could only be nurtured on living planets … reasonably speaking, there were countless living planets in the universe, and the Star Cores would be uncountable as well. Even so, there were countless living beings on those planets.
Removing the Star Core would rapidly dry up and turn it into a dead planet, which was equivalent to indirectly killing every living being on the planet.
The stronger one was, the more they cared about karma and karma.
The karma of killing every living being on a living planet was too great, which was why few would even think about the Star Core of a living planet.
But Mars was different.
Mars was a dried-up planet …
No, it was no longer a dead planet since it had already nurtured a Star Core. In time, life would grow on Mars as well, but now … it was gone, which was why the birth of life and civilization in the future was nonsense.
Jiang He only put away the Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades when he saw that the Star Core had calmed down and sneered, "Very well, it's for the best since you're being obedient … by the way, what is a Star Core, Hu Mei?"
The latter question was directed at Hu Mei.
Hu Mei had reverted to human form and explained to Jiang He. Jiang He frowned and was at a loss for words. "You were talking about how precious a Star Core is and how it could be born … but after half a day, what is this thing used for?"
"Master."
"The Star Core is nurtured by the world and is the origin of life. It nurtures Dao, and if one could grasp the Dao within, even a True Immortal would benefit greatly."
Hu Mei then said, "Moreover, the Star Core is a necessary material for crafting soul treasures."
"Oh?"
"Soul treasures, huh?"
The grade of soul treasures was above immortal items, but they were rare. Innate soul treasures were said to be born at the dawn of creation and in the hands of ancient superior beings. Acquired soul treasures, on the other hand, were very difficult to craft, and most Golden Immortals might not even have acquired soul treasures.
"Master, you are a grandmaster of item refinement. With this Star Core, you might be able to craft an acquired soul treasure for yourself in the future!"
Hu Mei appeared very excited.
Jiang He, however, said, "This thing seems to be intelligent. It could understand my threats, so wouldn't it be too cruel to craft it into a mystic treasure?"
"How could a Star Core be intelligent? It contains the laws of Dao and might be aware of danger. Perhaps it quieted down knowing that you're about to blow it up, Master? "Hu Mei explained.
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face and he smiled. "That's great … but forget about item refinement. It's better to plant it as a seed!"
Wouldn't one Star Core grow into a star if it was planted?
Incidentally, his farm already had a sun and a moon, and all it lacked was the stars.
…
Meanwhile.
Jingdu City.
The Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Wang Hou, who had just returned to his office and was about to convene another emergency meeting suddenly froze.
"What is it, Minister Wang?"
Lin Tianzheng's face twitched, his heart thumping as he quickly asked, "Could the Sky Demons have invaded?"
Wang Hou said nothing and remained spaced out.
It was only after several questions from the other MAD executives that Wang Hou came to his senses. Rubbing his temples, he flashed a pained smile. "Send word that there's no need for the deployment we've arranged before … let everyone rest and do what they need to do."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wang Hou said, "Mars is gone."
"Eh?"
Lin Tianzheng did a double take.
Everyone else was stunned.
"Mars was blown up by Jiang He — the kind that blew it up directly. There's a high chance that the millions of Sky Demon legions and their elites are all dead!"
