Lan Jue leaned forward and caught the water droplet before it hit the ground. She clenched her fists.
Lan Jue was back in seclusion. This time, he wasn't just going to repair his body. He wanted to understand everything that Captus had brought him, and experience the changes in the thunder essence.
All of this required time to comprehend.
He also wanted to see Zhou Qianlin's condition after she merged with Demortus.
After Zhou Qianlin merged with Demortus, she entered a strange state. Even Lan Jue couldn't sense how her energy flowed.
Because Qianlin's Core was isolated, she was completely immersed in her own meditative state.
Lan Jue couldn't release her even if he wanted to.
If Jun Yongye hadn't told Lan Jue she was fine, he would've been worried.
Star Division began to clear out the pirates, using Tempest as the center.
With the experience and confidence they'd gained from the previous battles, their operation was smooth sailing.
Su Xiaosu used the strategy of a lion hunting a rabbit. No matter how weak the enemy, she planned it out carefully and went all out.
Any team that dared to slack off would be punished, while those teams that performed outstandingly and executed their tactics perfectly would be rewarded.
As time went on, Star Division's fighting strength improved. Their teamwork improved as well.
Tempest was in a remote part of the Shattered Starfields, far from the three main planets. The magnetic field was chaotic, and communication was difficult.
As a result, word of Star Division's presence didn't spread.
Su Xiaosu had eyes and ears on the three main planets. Through their observation, she was able to confirm that the enemy hadn't discovered their presence.
They were just curious about the Poison Wasp Clan.
But the Poison Wasp Clan was just a small clan.
They weren't worth paying attention to.
In the Shattered Starfields, it was common for pirates to kill each other. The Moonfiend Pirates didn't do anything specific.
This made Star Division even bolder. In twenty days, Majesty's incredible speed allowed them to wipe out a dozen pirate clans, large and small.
They plundered a great deal of wealth.
Of course, the largest of these pirate groups was only about the same size as the Desert Storm Pirates, and some were even smaller.
Majesty returned to Tempest. Lan Jue emerged from seclusion and held a meeting. They decided to extend Star Division's time in the Shattered Starfields.
After twenty days of seclusion, Lan Jue felt as if he had been reborn. Moreover, he could finally use part of the power of the Immortal Trapping Sword.
Since they were going to continue fighting.
In that case, we'll have to relocate as a whole. The pirate groups in this area are pretty much wiped out.
We need to go deeper into the Shattered Starfields, where there are more pirate clans worthy of our attention. "Su said. She looked at Lan Jue with an inquisitive look in her eyes.
Lan Jue nodded. "It's time to move. We've stayed here for too long.
Tell everyone to pack up and take whatever's valuable. We'll head deeper into the Shattered Starfields.
Boss, are you done with your seclusion? "Xiaosu asked.
"Not for now," Lan Jue replied.
Xiaosu smiled. "That's good. I can finally return command to you. You've been under a lot of pressure lately.
The Driver chuckled. "Alright, I don't see any pressure on you. You're like the Iron Queen in battle, calm and collected.
When have we not won with overwhelming superiority?
Otherwise, how could we have suffered zero casualties?
Lan Jue's voice was mysterious. "Would you like to see the results of my seclusion?
Everyone looked at each other. The Coffee Master said, "Don't tell me you've become a Paragon!
Lan Jue shook his head. "I'm still far from it. But I've managed to merge a new weapon. I'd like to show you.
It'll give you a boost of confidence.
Star Division's biggest problem was that they were too strong. If you wanted to command a force like this, you had to be strong enough to keep them in check. Then you had to offer everyone a way out of it.
It'd been twenty days since Lan Jue had taken command. He needed to make his presence felt. He also wanted to see how strong Captus could be.
Under the curious gazes of the onlookers, Lan Jue rose into the air.
A faint golden aura emanated from him, attracting the attention of Star Division's soldiers.
Just at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge creature appeared in the sky without any warning.
A giant creature that was over a thousand meters long and emitted a purplish-red glow all over its body suddenly appeared.
The entire Star Division was alerted. Their heads jerked to the sky, and they released their mechas in preparation for battle.
But at that moment, they saw a red light.
Lan Jue stopped in midair. The golden aura around him turned to red. Suddenly, the soldiers on Skyfire Avenue felt as if space itself was collapsing.
A moment later, a crimson sword appeared in Lan Jue's hand.
Lan Jue swung the sword at the beast. Suddenly, a beam of red light, a hundred meters long, flashed across the sky.
It was gone in a flash, and then the beast's belly was engulfed in a blinding red light.
Immediately after, the red glow spread throughout the beast's body in the form of explosions, like a plague.
The behemoth roared crazily, but there were still huge holes that were dozens of meters in diameter on its body. Large amounts of flesh and blood fell from the sky, and each hole was a penetrating wound. In just a few breaths, its huge body that looked so imposing was already riddled with holes.
The red light in Lan Jue's hand flashed again, and in the next moment a black hole appeared in the sky. The air around them twisted and warped. The beast struggled for its life, but was torn to shreds and swallowed up.
It had all happened too quickly. From the moment the beast appeared to the moment it was over, only a minute had passed.
From the moment it appeared to the moment it died, Lan Jue had only swung the sword twice.
There was a flash of red light as it disappeared into Lan Jue's body.
He slowly descended from the sky.
I'm sorry, I was just trying out the sword. "
He didn't say anything else. He returned to the Driver and the others and sat down. His face wasn't red, and he wasn't out of breath. It was as if nothing had happened.
Everyone stared at him blankly, even forgetting to breathe.
What was that?
What was that red light?
The others didn't know what the beast was, but Su Xiaosu did. She'd seen it on Majesty!
Then it disappeared. No one knew why, but Lan Jue told them to call off the alarm.
But now it had reappeared, and he'd killed it with two slashes. This was …. Lan Jue was just as shocked. He'd used eighty percent of his Discipline, but he hadn't expected Captus to be this powerful.
One slash, and heaven and earth crumbled.
Terrifying wasn't an adequate word to describe it.
According to Jun Yongye, Lan Jue wouldn't be able to use even one percent of Captus' power until he became a Paragon.
His cultivation wasn't high enough, and he couldn't combine his lightning with Captus. If he did, it would be even more terrifying.
When he'd swung the sword, he hadn't thought he'd be able to kill the beast in such a short amount of time.
However, he was surprised to find that Captus seemed to contain a special power. When this power fell upon the alien, he couldn't resist it at all.
It had been sealed away by Roxanne, and was in a weakened state.
But its physical defense shouldn't have been a problem!
To be able to rely on its physical body to travel long distances in the universe, one could imagine the strength of its body. However, under such circumstances, it was killed by the Immortal Trapping Sword in two strikes.
Jun Yongye's voice sounded in his mind. "Not copper, not iron, not steel. Hidden beneath Mount Meru.
Without the reversal of yin and yang, how could it not be tempered by fire and water?
The Banishing Blades were divine weapons that could slay immortals and destroy gods. How could ordinary defenses withstand them?
Lan Jue understood. Now he understood why the Pharmacist was so strong. The power of the Banishing Blades was far greater than he'd imagined!
His heart was aflame. If one day he could control the full power of Captus, how strong would he be?
He'd probably be stronger than his father.
Jun Yongye was one with him now, and could sense his thoughts. "If you want to unleash Captus' full power, you'll need to be as strong as an ancient Da Luo.
Or if you can find the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram and use it to activate the Zhu Xian Four Swords and lay down the Zhu Xian Great Formation, it is also possible to unleash our full power.
Lan Jue was at a loss. Da Luo? What level was that?
Jun Yongye's voice rose again. "If I'm not mistaken, your father is on the verge of becoming an immortal. He's been suppressing the energies of heaven and earth to prevent himself from reaching that level.
Immortals are separated into countless ranks. To become a Da Luo, one must first become a mortal, then a celestial, then a golden immortal, and finally a Da Luo.
To become a Da Luo, one must first become a mortal, then a celestial, then a golden immortal, and finally a Da Luo.
I'm looking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
Oh, right, tomorrow at the third watch.
