Lan Jue nodded. "I'll keep up the pressure. You saw for yourself how the aliens reacted to our bastions' arrival. I'm sure they'll react even more as the bastions get closer.
They might even give up on Sheol.
If they want to buy time, they won't fight us head on.
So, I think we'll have a better chance. "
Roxanne thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you. We'll wait a little longer."
Time ticked by. Only the Violet Prince remained motionless. His eyes were closed, as if he were meditating.
The Violet Prince's aura hadn't changed since their last meeting, but Lan Jue felt there was something different about him.
To be precise, the current him seemed to feel more like a human.
The aliens had devoured so many humans and studied so much of their DNA. They must have modified their own bodies as well.
Lan Jue glanced at the time. Lan Qing hadn't told him how far they'd go, but he'd given him the exact time.
When the time was right, the bastions would retreat.
There was less than an hour until that time.
The closer the bastions were to Sheol, the more likely the aliens were to react.
Time passed, but the aliens didn't seem to have changed.
The Void Mother was still squirming its body, its thick tentacles waving about, emitting a powerful aura.
No one dared to approach it, as if they were afraid of something. The Violet Prince, on the other hand, was surrounded by a multitude of aliens.
Sometimes, waiting was a kind of torment, and this was clearly the case for the current situation.
However, in the current situation, he had no choice but to wait for the best opportunity to strike.
Finally, as the time was drawing near, Lan Jue noticed a change in the Violet Prince's face.
In the next instant, he waved his arm.
Suddenly, a large number of aliens began to take to the skies.
Was he leaving?
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt two solid gazes looking at them.
"Not good!" Lan Jue shouted. Blue light flared around her.
Luo Xianni was also the first to react. With a flash of pink light, the six of them teleported to another location. At the same time, they appeared in the space outside.
A beam of purplish-red light pierced through the parallel space they were in before. Wherever the purplish-red light went, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.
Now was not the time to think about how they had been discovered. The one who reacted the fastest was Luo Xianni, who had the highest cultivation among them. With another flash of pink light, the other five had already appeared several hundred meters away.
The Violet Prince's fist was upon Roxanne, passing right through Roxanne's body. But as his fist passed through Roxanne's body he was surprised to find her body contorting. Then the world around him changed. He was sucked into a vortex, and when he emerged he was in outer space.
Everything around him was pitch black.
Pink halos instantly surged from all directions, and the terrifying destructive power produced by the shattering of space locked down everything around him.
"Quick!" Roxanne's voice rang in the ears of Lan Jue and the others.
When they saw Luo Xuan and the Violet Prince vanish they were already on the move.
More than a dozen huge tentacles covered the sky and smashed towards them. Each tentacle had a huge suction cup on it. Before the tentacles reached them, the suction force was already there.
What was even stranger was that this suction force was not pulling at their bodies. Instead, it made them feel as if their life energy was pouring out in an instant, as if it was about to leave their bodies.
The progenitor had risen to its full height. Its massive body bulged with ferocious protrusions. Its dark purple tentacles thrummed with energy.
Everything around them turned purplish-red.
Their life energy would also be distorted in the purplish-red area.
Lan Jue and the others were Paragons, and had incredible control over their own bodies. Even so their life force was being drained away. It was easy to imagine what would happen to an ordinary person. They'd be sucked dry in an instant.
The Pharmacist snorted. A beam of white light shot up to the sky, and the razor-sharp blade of her sword split into a million blades of light.
A Reflection of Heaven and Earth appeared, and its Slaughter Domain was unleashed.
The surging murderous aura surged out in all directions like a tidal wave.
The Driver was on the move as well. Now that he was a Reflection of Heaven and Earth his cultivation had improved dramatically, especially in his understanding of the Primordial Lightning. Now that the Primordial Lightning had entered his body, he had a chance to truly understand it.
A thin layer of purple lightning spread out from his body, enveloping everyone within it.
As soon as the first tentacles touched the net, they bounced back. The suction cups on the tentacles fell off as if they were being corroded.
The Pauper's body flickered and reappeared some distance away. He pressed his palms together in front of his chest, and the image of the Taming Dragon Arhat appeared behind him. His hands turned to the sky, and a golden dragon burst forth from his body.
The Pauper vanished, and the golden dragon soared into the sky. It grew in size, and in the blink of an eye it was ten thousand meters long.
A thunderous roar filled the air, and everything around it was bathed in golden light. The Pauper's aura was strong, and it soared toward the descending aliens.
Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin exchanged a glance. Their minds were connected.
Two beams of sword light appeared in front of them.
Lan Jue gripped Captus, and the space around them began to collapse. Zhou Qianlin gripped Demortus, and a thousand beams of blue light burst forth.
The moment the two Divine Swords appeared, coupled with the insane killing intent of the Immortal Culling Sword, the Void Mother's tentacles trembled slightly. They were no longer as threatening as before.
The Pharmacist pointed Occisus forward, and the dharma behind her did the same.
Her true form and her dharma merged into one, and Occisus grew a hundred times larger. She swung it through the air.
There was a flash of brilliant white light, and the sky was a sea of color, black and white.
Life and death separated them, and the world changed.
Dozens of tentacles came to a screeching halt, disintegrating in the black and white. Their life force was drained away.
The Void Mother roared madly under the intense pain.
However, its tentacles were growing at an alarming rate.
The progenitor was one of the strongest of the alien species. As long as it had enough life force to sustain it, and as long as it wasn't killed in an instant, it could recover.
The severed tentacles regenerated quickly, but they didn't dare move forward.
The Pharmacist's dharma exploded with power, and a thousand beams of sword light shot up into the sky. They surrounded the golden dragon and climbed upward. It was the Myriad Swords Art.
It was a Reflection of Heaven and Earth, but it wasn't the same as the Myriad Swords Art of old.
One by one, the swords pierced through the bodies of the aliens. Tiny cracks appeared on the bodies of those who were struck by the swords, and then they crumbled to pieces.
They were killed by the murderous intent of the progenitor.
When the Slaughter Domain and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword worked together, their terrifying slaughter power was unstoppable.
Now that she was a Reflection of Heaven and Earth, the Pharmacist's Slaughter Domain had improved as well.
Two figures appeared in the air above the progenitor.
Behind Lan Jue, a majestic figure appeared. It was clad in white, and wore a purple crown. It was the dharma of the Middle Heaven Great Emperor of the North Pole Star of Purple Subtlety.
Behind Zhou Qianlin was the same dharma of a beautiful woman. Her dharma was the Queen of Heaven.
Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin didn't merge with their avatars. Instead, they gripped their swords and pointed forward.
It was a simple gesture, but the air around them began to twist and distort.
A seven-colored halo instantly expanded outward with their bodies as the center.
The Celestial Trapping Sword stabbed forward slowly, and golden characters appeared on the surface of the heavy red sword aura. The Middle Heaven North Pole Great Emperor of Purple Subtlety behind him pointed a finger, and suddenly, a beam of blue light shot out and landed on the Celestial Trapping Sword. The Celestial Trapping Sword let out a soft hum, and red arcs of lightning shot out with the sword.
A pale white mist descended from the sky. The Queen of Heaven's dharma wrapped around Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin. Their protogenia surged with power.
Ten Thousand Streams to the Sea!
Thousand Swordplay of the Great Stars!
The Harmonious Swords were invincible!
Both swords came out in unison. A beam of rainbow light descended from the heavens, carrying with it an aura of unparalleled grandeur.
The Violet Prince, still fighting Luo Xianni in outer space, trembled at the appearance of the sword.
His eyes betrayed his disbelief.
Roxanne also turned to look at the surface of Malevolence. A smile played at the corners of her lips.
Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin's swords were untraceable. It was a natural thrust.
In Lan Jue's eyes, Zhou Qianlin's Thousand Changes Swordplay of the Great Stars had become more agile.
In their hearts, there was only one other. Their hearts were connected. The Harmonious Swords!
Sensing the danger, the progenitor's tentacles coiled around each other. It transformed into a pillar of purple and red that shot up into the sky in an attempt to block the attack.
However, the pillar of rainbow light shattered in its wake. It couldn't stop the attack in the slightest.
It was a force of justice.
As if splitting the heavens and earth apart, it pierced towards the Progenitor.
Pfft!
The progenitor's body was pierced through. The rainbow light spread out and reflected off the ground. A thousand beams of sword light shot up into the sky.
The most difficult moment is over. After the storm comes the rainbow!
Thank you all for your blessings.
I will always love you. Even in the sickroom with my laptop, I will not break.
Because to me you are as important as family.
Please.
