A dozen meters long alien was nothing in space, and Lan Jue, who was less than two meters tall, was even more minuscule.
He didn't give the carapace any time to react. As soon as he appeared, a beam of crimson light shot out.
The carapace felt the space in front of it collapse, and a strange suction force gripped it. Instinctively, it spread its wings and tried to struggle free.
But the suction force was too strong. It was surrounded by a red light.
The red light flickered like stars in the sky.
The carapace marauder lost control of its body, and began to spin violently.
Lan Jue had appeared above it at some point. She pressed her hands down, and a pale blue light interspersed with silver flecks of light floated down.
There was no sound, but the carapace's body began to shake violently. Then it stopped struggling and floated there, motionless.
From the moment the battle began to end, only a moment had passed.
She'd used Captus to immobilize the enemy, then All-Heaven lightning to suppress it, paralyze it, and knock it unconscious.
Everything had been as smooth as flowing water, without a moment's pause.
When Captus attacked, the carapace didn't have a chance to evade. It also sealed the creature's psychic waves, preventing it from contacting the others.
There was a flash of blue light, and in the blink of an eye the carapace alien was sucked into Thor's Oath.
She waved to the Pharmacist, and in a flash of blue light shot back in the direction she'd come.
The Pharmacist sighed inwardly. Lan Jue was as strong as she was now.
She'd been studying Occisus for almost ten years. How long had it been for Lan Jue?
But he did not stop using the Immortal Trapping Sword.
This was his talent, and the reason he worked so hard.
The Pharmacist spat out the Seven Star Blade from her mouth, then leaped onto it. Like an immortal of swords, she chased after Lan Jue.
Their mission was complete, and it was time to return.
The war between the Northern Alliance and the aliens would cause an uproar in the human world.
The Pharmacist caught up to Lan Jue, and the two of them flew at top speed. They knew this wasn't a good place to stay.
Suddenly, Lan Jue sensed something. Instinctively, he bumped into the Pharmacist beside him.
The Pharmacist was quick to react. She swung her sword to the side, and the two of them dodged to the side.
"Hmph!"
A soft grunt sounded, and then the space around them constricted. Both Lan Jue and the Pharmacist felt as if an enormous hand had gripped them, and was about to crush them to a pulp.
The Pharmacist's eyes flashed, and the Seven Star Blade beneath her feet split into a million blades of light that shot out in all directions.
Lan Jue waved his hands in a circle. Black and white lights appeared, and a hazy layer of All-Heaven lightning appeared over the black and white lights. Then he pressed them down.
A strange whirling force appeared, carrying him and the Pharmacist away from the pressure.
A violet figure appeared in the air.
When they saw her, Lan Jue and the Pharmacist's faces tightened.
This figure was none other than the Violet Princess, whom Lan Jue had met many times before.
Jueti had told her that the Violet Princess was an Infinite-level being. Although she had only recently entered the realm, she was stronger than Roxanne.
Lan Jue and the Pharmacist were not yet aliens, so one could only imagine the pressure they were under.
The world around them had turned a violet hue. Although they were no longer under the Violet Princess' control, it was impossible not to feel the pressure.
Both Lan Jue and the Pharmacist felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Two beams of sword light, one red and one white, appeared to protect them.
It was the light of Captus and Occisus.
The Violet Princess was about to follow up with another attack, but when she sensed the power of the two swords, she froze. Fear flitted across her eyes.
Lan Jue's worst fears had come true. He thought he'd been quick enough, but the Violet Princess was faster.
"I sensed your presence, but I couldn't lock onto it.
I didn't expect you to come to me.
Come with me. "The Violet Princess spoke calmly, her eyes fixed on Lan Jue.
Lan Jue's face darkened. "Violet Princess!" This was not going to end well.
The Wine Master couldn't sense their presence, and even if he could, what good would that do?
Even if they fought together they were no match for the Violet Princess!
What's more, they were so close to the alien planets. Even if the Violet Prince showed up, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Let her go, I'll go with you." Lan Jue said softly.
It was as if he wasn't talking about his own fate.
The Violet Princess' eyes flashed. "Why should I let her go?
You can all come with me.
She has the right to mate with us Saints.
Give birth to children! "
The Pharmacist's eyes narrowed. A cold light flickered in the depths of her eyes.
"Let me ask you. Many years ago, there was a man with a sword similar to ours. Was he captured by you?
Is he still alive? "The Pharmacist's voice was low.
They couldn't probe the interior of the alien planets, but the Violet Princess would be able to tell them something she desperately needed to know.
The Violet Princess paused. She looked at the Pharmacist in confusion, then at the swords rising behind them.
She seemed to remember something. "That man?
He refused to mate with the Empress and burned his own life force.
The Empress said it was a pity.
If she could have mated with him she would have been able to give birth to powerful children. "
Burned his own life force!
The Pharmacist's body swayed when she heard those simple words. Her beautiful eyes misted over with tears.
Countless images flashed through her mind.
She had grown up with him. He was older than her, always carrying her on his back to play.
As they grew older she grew more and more dependent on him. He spoiled her.
They worked hard together, cultivated together. Together they discovered Master Qian's legacy. Together they acquired Ultus and Occisus.
Step by step, they had children of their own.
But then, in order to carry out a mission, he disappeared.
At the time he was the Eastern Alliance's last hope of becoming a Paragon!
Once that mission was complete he would receive the rank of major general.
He was hailed as a genius on par with the An Lun supersoldier, Lan Qing.
They were the twin stars of the Eastern Alliance.
In terms of personal strength he was even stronger than Lan Qing.
He was a man of integrity, but gentle to her.
He was the perfect man, the perfect husband.
Just when she thought that he would become a perfect father, he disappeared and never came back.
At this moment, she finally heard news about him accurately for the first time, but all she heard was that he had burned his life force.
The Pharmacist's body began to tremble, and so did Occisus on her back. An unparalleled murderous aura erupted from the weapon.
The blinding white light caused cracks to appear in the violet space around them.
It was almost impossible to contain the murderous aura.
At some point the Pharmacist's eyes had taken on a crimson hue. Her own aura began to rise uncontrollably.
In an instant she had surpassed that level.
A terrifying sword aura tore through the Violet Princess' Domain.
The Violet Princess was taken aback as well. Both Occisus and Captus threatened her, and now that Occisus was fully unleashed, the murderous aura it exuded filled her with dread.
She didn't attack immediately.
Lotuses began to appear around the Pharmacist. Each one was as white as jade, and set off her already beautiful figure. She looked like a fairy from the heavens.
Occisus, the last of the Banishing Blades, was the most deadly of them all. It was the most powerful of them all.
In this moment it was like it had been ignited.
Rays of white light flowed into the Pharmacist's body. Her aura continued to climb.
In the surroundings, the white lotus light continued to spread. The seemingly gentle and moving petals all carried an incomparably sharp aura.
Domain, this was her Domain.
Lan Jue was the first to realize what it was.
But she'd only just broken through, and already she had her own Domain?
What kind of powerful talent was this!
Lan Jue had always known the Pharmacist had been suppressing her strength. She didn't want to break through to Paragon, because she wanted to go further.
But now, the Violet Princess heard the tragic news that her husband had burned his own life force.
She could no longer suppress the killing intent in her heart. Under the effect of that terrifying killing intent, it just happened to awaken the aura of the Kill Immortal Sword.
She and the sword had finally become one. It had pushed her into Paragon, and now she had her own Domain.
The Pharmacist's reluctance to become a Paragon was largely due to the hidden dangers of fusing with Occisus all those years ago.
She and her husband had been too hasty at the time, and had fused Occisus and Ultus too soon. Her foundation had been shaky.
She'd had to endure the constant onslaught of the two swords.
Once she became a Paragon, this hidden danger would limit her future growth.
Lan Jue didn't have this problem. Jun Yongye was strong enough, and Lan Jue was strong enough.
Moreover, he had the Thunder Essence in his body, which contained Immortal Qi. This allowed him to fuse perfectly with the relatively gentle Immortal Trapping Sword.
