The scenery kept flashing by as they flew toward the other side of the planet at high speed.
At their current speed, they'd reach the progenitor in three hours.
"There aren't as many aliens as we thought." Lan Jue's brows furrowed.
"Yeah.
I've noticed the same thing. "The Wine Master nodded.
When they'd first landed, the aliens had covered the entire planet. Now that they were on the other side of the planet, they realized the aliens weren't as numerous as they'd first thought.
There were still a lot of them, but they didn't feel as if they'd blotted out the sky.
"Did they run to the other side of the planet to avoid cannon fire?" The Pharmacist's brows furrowed.
The Clockmaker nodded. "That's possible.
They're waiting for the planet to turn around, then they'll use it as a base to attack.
After all, our fleet can't go around them all at once. When there's a difference in speed, that's when they'll strike. "
Lan Jue nodded. "That's why the military council's strategy was to take all four planets.
Once we've set up a planetary defense system, we won't have to worry about the aliens. "
"Alright, let's get rid of the progenitor first," the Wine Master said.
The verti-car continued onward. Their numbers didn't increase by much. After another hour or so, they were on the other side of the planet.
The atmosphere was shrouded in fog, so they couldn't see what was going on outside. Once they were on the other side of the planet, however, their numbers did increase.
There were more of them than they'd seen before, and there were a few that were over five hundred meters long.
"It looks like we were right," the Driver said.
"Be careful, don't get caught," Lan Jue said.
The Driver chuckled. "Don't worry. With our skills, it'd be embarrassing if we got caught.
We'll be fine. "
Indeed, the Driver's skill was excellent. Although the aliens were beginning to increase in number, he was still able to evade them while maintaining his speed. There was not a single flaw.
"I'll take the lead," the Pharmacist said.
Lan Jue nodded.
Excluding the likes of Jue Di and Luo Xianni, the Pharmacist was the only one with the most explosive power.
Of course, it was the same for him and Zhou Qianlin's Dual Sword Harmony.
But that would make him lose the ability to fight.
For this reason, the Pharmacist was the best choice to be the main attacker.
The number of aliens remained constant and did not increase.
Because they couldn't see into space, they didn't know how many aliens were out there.
However, everyone's heartstrings had already unconsciously tightened.
The ones over a thousand meters long were terrifying in their own right, no less powerful than a battleship. There were also those over three thousand meters that could rival Paragons.
Lan Jue had even seen the largest Marauders that were more than ten thousand metres long.
Especially since the Violet Prince and Princess had yet to appear. They were the most formidable foes to face.
It could be said that he had entered a den of thieves, and it was not easy to retreat with a single strike.
The tension in the air grew as they neared.
The color of the earth had changed to a purplish black. Thick veins were visible along the surface of the planet, as though they were devouring something.
Under the progenitor's influence, all of Monteux looked like a living thing. Or perhaps it was a parasite that devoured the life force of the planet.
The alien's ability to plunder was too powerful and frightening.
Lan Jue's eyes flashed with determination. If the Violet Prince and Princess showed up, she would have to use the Harmonious Swords.
"That must be it!"
The Driver steered the verti-car to a horizontal course. At the same time, an image appeared on the car's internal monitor.
Everyone looked over and saw that at the end of the huge purplish-black blood vessels, there was an existence that looked like a small mountain. It was about a hundred meters tall, and its entire body was purplish-black. Thick blood vessels crawled all over it, making it look like a giant octopus crawling there.
At the top of its head were several large veins that pierced through the clouds. They couldn't tell where they were going.
"It's transferring its life force to the alien planets?" Lan Jue asked.
Roxanne's brows furrowed. "It doesn't look thick enough. It's not enough to travel through space.
It's probably using the aliens as a transit point. "
A cold light flashed in the Pharmacist's eyes. "That's it?"
Without question, this was the progenitor.
It was the strongest progenitor Lan Jue had ever seen. The aura it radiated was no less than that of a Paragon.
In the skies above the progenitor were at least five beasts a thousand meters long. They were flanked by a host of their own kind.
Their defenses were tight.
That was why the Driver had steered the car to the side.
If he continued forward, there would be no gap!
Lan Jue turned to her companions. "We don't have many opportunities to attack.
The defenses down below are manageable, but we don't know how strong they are. We have to attack as quickly as possible and retreat. "
Roxanne smirked. "It's a good thing I came along. Otherwise I wouldn't have a part in this.
Don't worry about anything else, just attack.
The Wine Master will lead the way.
I'll control the battlefield. "
How domineering!
In the face of so many powerful aliens, Roxanne's job was to control the battlefield.
Lan Jue nodded to the Pharmacist. "I'll help you, sister."
"Alright!"
The Pharmacist answered without hesitation. She pulled out a porcelain bottle and popped a pill into her mouth.
Instantly, her aura became unstable.
"So I'm just going to be the driver," the Driver muttered, his voice a little gloomy.
Lan Jue chuckled. "Driving is the most honorable thing, and you're an important part of it.
Alright, everyone get ready. "
The verti-car's doors opened. Thanks to the Blinding Stone, the car was invisible for a short distance.
Lin Guo-guo and the Driver remained in the car, while the others slipped out.
Roxanne flicked her wrist, and a beam of pink light fell into her palm. It was her camera.
She smiled sweetly, as if she wasn't the least bit worried about the situation before her. She waved the camera in front of her, then nodded to Lan Jue and the others.
In the next instant, Luo Xianni disappeared into thin air.
The Pharmacist stared at Lan Jue. Her eyes were white as a sheet.
Lan Jue's own were a deep blue.
A faint blue halo revolved around his body. It was Tiandu Divine Thunder.
The Pharmacist took a deep breath. Her aura began to climb like crazy. Lin Guo-guo's psychic barrier could no longer contain her aura.
The Pharmacist leapt into the air.
Behind her, an illusion of a hundred meters tall appeared. The illusion looked at least seventy percent similar to her. It wore a long white dress and held a white longsword.
With the aid of the medicine, the Pharmacist was able to push herself to the level of a Reflection of Heaven and Earth.
"Om —" Accompanied by a draconic hum, a terrifying murderous aura instantly soared into the sky.
Up in the sky, the five aliens looked at her in unison, their eyes filled with fear.
The progenitor sensed the commotion as well. It shrieked, and one thick tentacle after another sprang up from its body. The tentacles lashed out at the Pharmacist with incredible power, and lashed out at the Pharmacist.
In the sky, the clouds surged, and a huge head drilled in.
The head alone was more than five hundred meters tall, and a thousand meters long.
Its true form had to be at least ten thousand meters tall.
Its aura suffocated the air around it. This was no ordinary Paragon, but a Reflection of Heaven and Earth. It was very close to Nirvana.
It opened its maw wide, as if to attack the Pharmacist.
Suddenly, a silvery voice rang through the sky. "Learn from Roxanne. Carry a camera with you at all times."
The crisp sound was accompanied by strange vibrations. Suddenly, the sky turned pink.
A giant pink camera, ten thousand meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air.
The shutter clicked with a snapping sound.
Everything went still.
This wasn't a camera. It was a space-related ability. Time Freeze.
Whether it was the gigantic head that had just popped out or the Void Mother that was waving its tentacles, all of them froze in the air, unmoving.
The entire world seemed to freeze at this moment.
Lan Jue and the Pharmacist exchanged a glance, then leapt into the air.
The Pharmacist let out a long cry, and a blinding white light enveloped her body. She was one with her sword.
Occisus grew larger and larger, until it was a blinding white light.
