At this moment, a ball of blue light was attached to the tip of the sword, turning into a stream of light that flowed on the entire blade.
If one looked closely, they would discover that there was a faint red glow flickering within the blue light, preventing the blue light from truly coming into contact with the white sword edge.
When the Immortal Culling Sword first flew out, it was only a few meters long. But soon, it became a hundred meters long.
Wherever it passed, no matter what existence it was, it was cut in half.
Even the Void Mother's tentacles were cut off.
His target was the Void Mother.
"Pfft!" The gigantic Sword of Culling pierced through the Void Mother's body with an unparalleled murderous intent.
When it appeared again, there was a black crystal stuck to the tip of the sword.
This crystal didn't look too big, only about a meter in diameter, but it exuded an extremely terrifying aura of life.
The Kill Immortal sword turned around and flew back.
At this time, the giant head in the sky began to move slightly, as if it was trying to break free.
There was a flash of light, and Occisus vanished. Lan Jue and the Pharmacist reappeared, their faces pale.
Both the Pharmacist and Lan Jue had pushed their cultivation to the limit.
There was a flash of silvery light, and in the blink of an eye Lan Jue and the Pharmacist were gone. The pink sky returned to normal, and a beam of pink light swept through the area. It flickered three times, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Roar —" The giant head that drilled down from the sky let out a deafening roar. Its huge body completely drilled back into this space. It spat out a breath that covered a large area of the sky, but it couldn't find anyone!
One could see that the Void Mother's veins were connected to its body through the air, and its aura was still rising.
It was only then that the frozen space returned to normal. The Void Mother that had been sliced apart collapsed with a loud crash. Countless white lights drilled out of its body, and then its huge body began to collapse violently.
The white light turned to blue. It didn't look particularly strong, but it was enough to scare away all the nearby aliens.
The Void Mother began to crumble bit by bit under the blue light.
The verti-car flew at high speed.
Everyone was in the flying car.
Lan Jue sighed. "I have to say, spatial abilities are really useful for escaping."
This operation could only be described as perfect. Roxanne's Dimensional Freeze had given him and the Pharmacist ample time to prepare.
The progenitor was a Paragon as well, but it wasn't nearly as strong as Roxanne. It could only take the brunt of Lan Jue and the Pharmacist's attacks.
If it had been a technological attack, it might not have been able to break through its defense in such a short time. However, what kind of existence was the Immortal Culling Sword?
Coupled with the Divine Thunder of Tiandu drawn by the Immortal Trapping Sword.
That was the power of divine punishment.
He immediately destroyed the Void Mother's core and took away its Vital Crystal.
Although Lan Jue and the Pharmacist couldn't use their Harmonious Swords, their combined power was terrifying.
He'd killed the Paragon progenitor in an instant.
What happened next was simple. The first beam of silver light had come from the Cosmagus, and the second beam of pink light had come from Roxanne.
Teleportation at the Paragon level wasn't something the Epochrion's breath could deal with.
The Epochrion didn't even have a chance to attack before Roxanne's teleportation swept her away.
Roxanne grabbed Lan Jue by the ear. "What do you mean escape? That's a tactical diversion. Don't you know how to talk, you little bastard!"
"Mom, I was wrong …" Lan Jue said hurriedly.
Everyone was in a good mood after the progenitor's death. The progenitor was the heart of the invasion, and defeating it would be a great boon for the rest of the fight.
At the very least, the threat of the fungal carpet would be eliminated.
Of course, another progenitor might appear, but there weren't many Paragon progenitors in the alien world.
Killing one was always a good thing.
Lan Jue spoke up. "Mom, will the progenitor's vital crystal be of any use to you and dad?"
Roxanne nodded. "I felt it a little, but it won't solve the problem. Give it to your dad and see how he feels about it."
"Alright."
This was the first time humans had ever obtained a Paragon's vital crystal. Its value was immeasurable.
If they'd attacked the beast in the sky with everything they had, they'd have had a chance. However, they didn't know the enemy's strength, and for safety's sake, they chose to leave.
"Admiral Lan Qing, is the fungal carpet covering Monteux decreasing?" Lan Jue immediately contacted Lan Qing.
"Success?" Lan Qing asked.
Lan Jue replied. "Success.
There are a lot of aliens on the back side of the planet, but we don't know how many there are in space.
The fleet won't be helping us anymore. "
"We've been tricked," Lan Qing said.
"Huh?" Lan Jue was surprised. "Tricked?"
Lan Qing answered. "Two of our fleets have circled the planet, but we haven't seen the main force. I had them stand by, but it looks like the main force isn't here."
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. "Not here?
What do we do now? "
Lan Qing replied. "I've already reported the situation to Admiral Kang. We're waiting for him to make a decision.
If my suspicions are correct, then we're in a very bad spot.
The alien planets are likely to have already left this planet.
We've all been wrong about one thing.
The alien planets may not be able to teleport, but they can still move at high speeds.
They can even hide from our detection. "
Lan Jue sucked in a breath.
If Lan Qing's suspicions were correct, then they were in deep trouble.
It had been quite some time since the alien planets had teleported here. The three Major League fleets had taken half a month to assemble and launch their attack.
If the alien planets left immediately after the invasion was complete, they'd be able to cover a great deal of ground in half a month.
What did it mean that they hadn't been discovered in the first place?
It meant the alien planets had the ability to hide themselves!
"We need to confirm this as soon as possible." Lan Jue's voice was low.
Lan Qing nodded. "Yes.
But now we're afraid it's a trap. We haven't found any traces of them anywhere else.
We need to wait for Admiral Kang's decision.
Admiral Kang has already given the order for the fleets to close in on the planet.
I'm sure we'll know soon enough. "
The excitement from the defeat of the progenitor died. Lan Jue's voice was low. "Has the creep around Monteux decreased?"
Lan Qing nodded. "From what we've seen from space, it's decreasing.
You've succeeded. "
Lan Jue spoke up. "Admiral Lan Qing, I'd like to request that you lead a reconnaissance team into the planet's interior.
The alien blockade isn't as tight as it used to be. We need to know if the home worlds are there. "
Lan Qing hesitated, then said, "Be careful."
"Alright."
The Paragons had heard the conversation between Lan Jue and Lan Qing. Their hearts were heavy. If everything was as they expected, they were in deep trouble.
What did the alien planets want?
They'd given up on the alien horde, but what about themselves?
They hadn't evolved yet, so where were they?
Wherever the aliens went, they would bring disaster. If news of this were to reach the human world, it would cause panic among the human race.
When the time came, all the aliens had to do was release the progenitors and break through the defenses of the planets they passed by. That would be a huge problem for humanity.
The Driver didn't need Lan Jue's reminder. The verti-car sped back to Monteux as fast as it could.
Lan Jue ordered the other four Zeus Amazons to fly Zeus -1 to pick them up.
Jueti followed, of course. With him there was no need to worry about any obstacles.
The other Paragons remained on the planet, working with the rest of the Paragons.
Zeus -1 arrived a short while later. The verti-car dove into Zeus -1's open belly. Zeus -1 turned around and soared into the sky.
The Blinding Stone was activated, and the ship was invisible.
Lin Guo-guo's psychic simulation was activated, giving Zeus -1 the ability to hide from the aliens.
The purple clouds hanging over Monteux were noticeably thinner. The progenitor's death had weakened the aliens' hold on the planet.
Still, it wasn't enough to lift the spirits of Lan Jue and the others.
The alien planets were too cunning. What were they doing?
What were they doing?
If they'd used stealth to get away, why would they have set up a blockade?
Wasn't it too much of a sacrifice to buy time?
With these questions in mind, Zeus -1 pierced through the atmosphere and back into space.
"Fly inwards. Turn on radar." Lan Jue ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Xiaosu answered. She turned on the radar, searching for signs of the alien home worlds.
"Don't panic. Stay calm and collected no matter what." Jueti spoke to Lan Jue.
Lan Jue produced the black vital crystal he'd acquired earlier and handed it to his father. "Father, do you think this vital crystal will be of any use to you?"
This Vital Crystal had a diameter of one meter and a regular hexagonal shape. As soon as it appeared, it immediately emitted an extremely dense life aura, making everyone in the cabin feel refreshed.
However, there was also a strong sense of evil in the midst of this aura. Along with it came the scent of death.
More updates tomorrow!
