One month after the battle of the tenth space ring …
Heavenly Saints City was the foundation of the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector after all. When the Cultivators swarmed into the tenth space ring and attacked the extraterrestrial devils together with the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, the extraterrestrial devils were destined to be killed.
The altars of extraterrestrial devils were destroyed one after another. Batch after batch of extraterrestrial devils turned into black gas and vanished into thin air.
However, the environment of the tenth space ring was too complicated after all, and too many civilians were possessed by the devils. The remaining devils did not die out until they hid in the broken walls and sewers. It was not until ten days later that the last devil was finally killed.
During that time, most Immortal Cultivators successfully retreated from the tenth space ring. With the cooperation of the space pirates, they escaped into the sea of stars and vanished into thin air through space jumps.
The aftermath of the arrival of the extraterrestrial devils was still echoing in Heavenly Saints City and dozens of space zones of the Flying Star Sector a month later.
In the unprecedented apocalypse of extraterrestrial devils, not only were the ordinary citizens living in the tenth space ring heavily injured, but the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector were also heavily injured.
The Cultivators who came to the rescue suffered heavy casualties, too. Dozens of Core Formation Stage experts were injured or even killed. Those below the Core Formation Stage were too many to count.
A lot of Cultivators also went missing in the chaos. It was possible that they had detonated their spiritual gas and died together with the enemy.
Sand Scorpion, the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, was one of them.
The large-scale search lasted for half a month, but he was still nowhere to be found.
Being a Cultivator was a high-risk profession. Every Cultivator had a habit of leaving a will and insurance policy.
The 'will' did not only apply to the circumstances of death. When a Cultivator went missing, was mentally deranged, or trained in seclusion for a long time, the 'will' had legal effect, too.
When the Cultivators returned, recovered from mental derangement, or finished their seclusion, the legal effect would be gone automatically.
It was decided according to the special circumstances of the Cultivators. After all, even the strongest expert could not tell whether or not they would be mentally deranged during their training. They would lose their ability to think and take care of themselves.
Li Yao had been assassinated by the Temple of Immortals several times when he was in Flying Star University. One of them was even an attempt by a Core Formation Stage Cultivator.
Therefore, he had made detailed arrangements so that the normal operation of the Glorious Sunlight Group would not be affected.
Heavenly Saints City … In the Core Area, in the corridor outside the Next Millennium Conference.
Xie Anan paced back and forth anxiously until the cold-faced young man appeared in her sight. She hurried to him and almost tripped.
"How is it? They said that they had found traces of their master. Is it true? "
Compared to a month ago, the current Wu Mayan was even more reserved and had a maturity that did not match his age.
He bit his lips hard, his eyes slightly red, and the sound of his breathing was very loud. He nodded, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.
Xie Anan widened her eyes and rubbed her hands anxiously. "What's going on? Say something!"
"The Search and Rescue Committee found Master's Crystal Suit."
Wu Mayan took a deep breath. He said slowly, "But it is not the Gold Wolf Battlesuit, but the debris of the 'Fire Tyrant Battlesuit' of the highest level, which is more than ten times stronger than the Gold Wolf Battlesuit!
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xie Anan was so happy that she almost jumped to her feet, but the second half of the sentence made her dizzy. "Debris? Debris? How much debris?"
"Fragmented."
Wu Mayan gritted his teeth and said, "To be exact, it's not a corpse. It's just some tiny scraps. "
Xie Anan stepped back. Her face pale, she asked in a shivering voice, "Then how did they know that it was Master's Crystal Suit?"
Wu Mayan replied with a gloomy face, "Master Xue Yuanxin and Master Huangpu Bo analyzed the scraps of the Crystal Suit in detail. Very special traces of handwork were found on the scraps, which was invented by our master himself. Our master is the only one in the entire Flying Star Sector who knows how to do it. You should know that better than I do. "
Xie Anan's face was even paler. She mumbled, "But — but they didn't find Master's … body, did they?"
"Of course not."
Wu Mayan smiled bitterly. "The specialists of the Search and Rescue Committee found Master's Gold Wolf Battlesuit ten kilometers away from the scene of the accident. They reached a conclusion after preliminary investigation and analysis.
"The Gold Wolf Battlesuit that our master exposed in public was not his real trump card. The Fire Tyrant Battlesuit, which was multiple times stronger, was!
"The Gold Wolf Battlesuit was modified by our master together with Master Xue Yuanxin. But our master also hid a Fire Tyrant Battlesuit in secret and strengthened the critical parts with his own unique skills. Perhaps, he even lowered the difficulty of controlling the Fire Tyrant Battlesuit. Nobody knew the truth!
"Our master did not charge into the central area of the tenth space ring on his own on impulse. He had made a thorough plan. He was going to catch a big fish with himself as the bait and then kill the fish with the Fire Tyrant Battlesuit!
"But as it turned out …
"He did catch a big fish, but the fish was too big. It was an out-and-out whale from the deep sea!"
"What!" Xie Anan exclaimed in shock.
Wu Mayan continued, "Our master fought hard with the big fish for quite a few rounds and realized that he was no match for it at all. He might have even been heavily wounded by the big fish and was on the verge of death.
"Having no other choice, our master could only …
"He activated the self-detonation system of the Fire Tyrant Battlesuit and turned the crystal reactor of the Fire Tyrant Battlesuit into a powerful bomb so that he could die together with the enemy!"
Xie Anan was about to cry. As a refiner, she naturally knew the gory situation when the crystal reactor of the Crystal Suit of the highest level, such as the Fire Tyrant Battlesuit, exploded.
Not a single piece of flesh would be left. Everything would be smashed into smithereens!
Xie Anan bit her lips hard. "How is it possible? How is it possible? Who could've pushed our master to such an extent?"
"Based on the traces left on the spot and the pictures captured by the crystal cameras," Wu Mayan said solemnly.
"The one who forced our master to play all his trump cards and even planned to detonate himself was probably 'Hellsword' Zhuang Ziyou, a Yuanying expert!"
Xie Anan was immediately dumbfounded!
Intense admiration and admiration flowed out of Wu Mayan's eyes. He said, "Our master deserves to be the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. He was able to fight a Yuanying expert for three hundred rounds! Although we don't know whether or not Hellsword was killed in the end, he was at least heavily wounded if not killed!
"The fact that the Immortal Cultivators retreated so quickly had a lot to do with the fact that Hellsword was heavily wounded or even killed!
"Our master is a great hero. As his true disciples, we should not be underestimated. We can't let anyone look down on him and ruin his illustrious reputation! "
"Whether our master is missing or truly … perished, we must train ourselves hard. We must carry on his legacy! "
Xie Anan nodded her head numbly. Tears flowed down her round cheeks.
Wu Mayan sighed and said, "Many specialists are still analyzing the situation. If our master was really up against 'Hellsword' Zhuang Ziyou, our master is truly the hero of the entire Flying Star Sector. He is an out-and-out hero! A detailed report will be published later. I believe that all our questions will be answered in the report.
"Now, let's continue the meeting!"
In the hall of the Meeting of the Next Millennium …
The super large hall built with the Half-Step Grand Illusionary Land was like a deep well that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Other than Cultivators, a lot of ordinary people were attending the meeting, too. They were either the representatives of the most influential ordinary people in their respective space zones. Or the survivors of the tenth space ring.
What was being held right now was the memorial meeting for the victims of the extraterrestrial devils.
But the memorial meeting was not the end. It was just the beginning of revenge!
Floating at the center of the Grand Illusionary Land in the middle of the vague black fog was Xiao Xuance, the CEO of the Grand Illusionary Group.
Compared to a month ago, he seemed to have aged more than a hundred years. He was wearing a long white robe. His exposed skin and face were full of wrinkles, veins, and spots, as if he could not bear the strike of the loss of his son. His face was full of grief, and his body was shivering.
"… In this disaster, I lost my most beloved son."
"But my grief is not entirely because of him."
"I am not the only one who has lost my most beloved son. There were also thousands of fathers and mothers who had lost their most beloved sons and daughters. There were also thousands of wives and husbands who had lost the person they were supposed to spend the rest of their lives with. There were also thousands of ignorant children who had lost the parents who loved them the most, the tree that could shelter them from the wind and rain. There were also thousands of families that had been torn apart. There is no more laughter!
"I — I am not just grieving. I am ashamed, too. Ashamed that I cannot describe with words!
"I'm guilty. All the Cultivators are guilty!"
"We underestimated the Immortal Cultivators. We underestimated the fiends who call themselves Immortal Cultivators. We did not expect that they would be so insane and inhumane that they would attract extraterrestrial devils in such a densely populated metropolis in space as Heavenly Saints City, resulting in such a tragedy!"
"If only we had realized the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivators earlier."
"If we had initiated the project of planetary-level magical equipment earlier and entered the state of war earlier, we would have been able to summon the strength of the entire world of Cultivators!
"Or rather, if the Grand Illusionary Group had produced the strongest Grand Illusionary Soldiers with real Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures instead of producing a batch of low-end models with common materials when we initiated the 'Grand Illusionary Soldier Project'!
"Then, the disaster might not have happened. Even if it did, we would have been able to save more people!
"How I wish that I could master a technique that could turn back time! Even if I had to trade for it with all my techniques and the last drop of my magical power!
"What a shame.
"Time cannot be turned back. The dead cannot be brought back to life. However regretful we are, it is useless. “
"The only thing we can do now is not regret, not grief, not desperation, but revenge!
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!
"There's absolutely no one who doesn't have to pay the price after killing so many ordinary people! The fear and destruction that they inflicted on the ordinary people today will be returned a hundred times more tomorrow!
"Let's take action, Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector!"
