Now that he thought about it, it was as if their Domains and the Harmonious Swords had fused into one. Then Monarch's avatar was slain in the midst of it all.
In terms of cultivation, Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin were no less powerful than Monarch's avatar.
However, Monarch's avatar had the support of the alien home worlds. Even if it couldn't win, it could still escape. The problem was that it had underestimated Lan Jue's Boundless Starlight Domain.
When it stepped into the Boundless Star Domain, it was isolated from the outside world by the power of the Boundless Star Domain. It was equivalent to being in a small world within the domain.
An ordinary Domain wouldn't be able to trap it, but the Boundless Starlight Domain was famous even in ancient times. Lan Jue could only use the most basic of its powers, but the Domain was famous even in the immortal realm. Even Da Luo golden immortals wouldn't be able to hide from it.
Lan Jue's cultivation wasn't high enough, but Monarch's avatar wasn't even the lowest of immortals!
Its pride made it want to kill Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin as quickly as possible. It didn't expect to be killed instead.
Unable to teleport away, Monarch's avatar was forced into a sacrificial offering by the combined power of the Harmonious Swords and the power of the Domain.
If he'd thought of a way to avoid the Domain, he might have had a chance. At least he could have escaped.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
Killing the progenitor and Monarch's avatar was a blessing in disguise. It had greatly weakened the alien home worlds.
As the Monarch and Queen's avatars fled, the rest of the aliens in the sky followed suit, heading for outer space.
The Pharmacist, the Pauper, and the other Paragons went after them. Roxanne, the Driver, and the others stayed behind to protect Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin. They didn't want to exhaust themselves and put themselves in danger.
Now it seemed they hadn't exhausted as much as they'd thought.
"A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light!" The Terminator exclaimed. The way he looked at Lan Jue had changed.
It was a complete state of equal treatment.
Lan Jue held Zhou Qianlin's hand, but her expression changed slightly. "Let's go back to Zeus One first."
The fall of Satan must have been a huge blow to Mika. He had to go back and take a look.
The Skylight Planet mission was over. Now, of the seven administrative planets, there was only one administrative planet left.
With everyone's strength, it shouldn't be a problem.
When they returned to Zeus I, the pilot had been replaced by Xiu Xiu.
Mika sat at the side, looking a little sluggish. On her lap was a long sword.
The pitch-black longsword was slender and long, but it exuded a unique charm.
It was the Demon King's sword that Satan had used to initiate the demons' descent.
Lan Jue hurried over to Mika and crouched down beside her.
"Mika."
Mika lifted her head and forced a smile. Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.
"I'm sorry, boss.
I might have to go. "Lan Jue paused." Mika, you … "
Mika went on. "The Dark Citadel was built with his blood, sweat, and tears.
Now that he's gone, I'll keep it safe for him.
If we can defeat the alien planets, I'll rebuild the Dark Citadel and carry on his legacy.
I'm sorry, boss. "
Lan Jue was silent.
He didn't want Mika to inherit the Dark Citadel. Not all descendants of the Demon King could suppress their powers like Satan.
Even back then, Satan had been in a state of madness for a period of time.
Mika wasn't weak now, but she was still a ways off from becoming a Paragon. More than one person in the Dark Citadel was stronger than her.
In her current state, would the Dark Citadel really listen to her?
Besides, the last thing Lan Jue wanted was for Mika to fall under the influence of the Demon King and lose herself.
As if sensing Lan Jue's thoughts, Mika's voice was soft. "Don't worry, boss. I'll always remember what you said. No matter what happens, I won't lose myself. I'll keep going.
The Dark Citadel won't fall into chaos in my hands.
I'm sorry, but I have to go. "
Lan Jue understood her feelings. He took a deep breath. "Mika, remember, no matter what you decide, I'll support you. I'll be your strongest shield.
When the time comes, I'll go with you to see those people. "
Mika shook her head resolutely. "No. I'll face it myself. I'll face it myself.
What he was able to do, I can do the same. "
Her words were spoken with determination. The blood of the Demon King had always flowed through her veins. It was only because of her time at the Zeus Jewelry Shop that she'd suppressed her personality.
Satan's death had affected her greatly, as well as the words that Satan had once said to her. After she finally made up her mind, her temperament began to subtly change.
Mika lifted the Demon King with both hands. She looked out the porthole, and her eyes flashed with red.
Lan Jue patted her on the shoulder. "Keep it up!"
The Pontiff sat a short distance away. He couldn't help but sigh.
Satan had a good daughter!
Under such circumstances, it was not easy to make a decision in such a situation.
What about himself?
The Dark Citadel's main force was still alive, but the Pontiff's Citadel?
He wasn't the only one left, but only the highest echelons of the Citadel remained. Europa had been ravaged to an unimaginable extent.
Their mission to attack the last administrative planet had been accomplished with relative ease.
They hadn't even seen the progenitor there.
By the time they arrived, it was gone. All that was left behind was a deep crater and a fading fungus carpet.
It was clear that the aliens had no intention of continuing to fight them on the planet.
Not a single alien remained, only a horde of mutants.
Their mission was a success.
In the shortest time possible, humanity had regained control of seven administrative planets.
Large amounts of resources and supplies were being delivered to them.
The closest Western Alliance planets that hadn't been taken over by the aliens provided the first batch of food.
The busiest person wasn't Lan Qing, commander-in-chief. It was Roxanne, Lan Jue, and Zhou Qianlin.
The power of the Queen of Heaven's Domain forced them to travel to the other six planets.
As before, Roxanne controlled the mutants while Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin worked together to heal them.
Zhou Qianlin's Queen of Heaven's Domain was on full display for the first time.
The Queen of Heaven's name spread like wildfire throughout the human world in a single day.
The image of the Queen of Heaven floated in the air to save the mutants. Even though it was only an image, the people of every corner of the human world couldn't contain their excitement.
There was hope for humanity. The fact that so many people had survived the alien assault was a blessing in disguise.
The Western Alliance government was no more. The seven planets were under military control, and the Allied Army took direct control.
As the people's minds recovered, and with the help of the Allied Army, the people's morale stabilized.
The Western Alliance citizens who had once been mutants weren't as demanding as the people of other places.
To them, being able to survive was the best outcome.
Coincidentally, they already had their own beliefs in their hearts.
This faith came from the goddess who had saved them.
The name Queen of Heaven was like the sun at high noon on the seven planets.
Without the Queen of Heaven's Domain, they wouldn't have been reborn.
The power of faith was so strong that when Zhou Qianlin released her Domain, she could feel the presence of the seven planets.
It took them three full days to travel to the other six planets and heal all the mutants.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qianlin and Lan Jue ran into a big problem.
During the healing process, the Queen of Heaven's Domain assimilated the alien energy and increased Zhou Qianlin's powers. The power of faith also increased her Rule of Heaven's Domain.
Lan Jue benefited a lot from it.
This was also an important reason why they were able to complete the treatment of everyone in such a short period of time.
But at the same time, it caused them a lot of trouble.
It wasn't good to improve too slowly, but it wasn't good to improve too quickly either!
Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin had ascended to Reflection of Heaven and Earth in a single step. Their Harmonious Swords combined allowed them to stand toe-to-toe against a Nirvana Paragon.
However, this method of breakthrough, such a drastic increase in strength, made their foundations unstable after they reached Paragon level.
Lan Jue fared better. After all, he'd re-cultivated to the ninth level. His foundation as an Adept was stable and solid.
Qianlin's situation was a little worse than his. She'd been affected in many ways by the blue light, and that was how she'd managed to stabilize her cultivation.
Now, with the injection of a large amount of energy and the Power of Faith, the two of them had reached the pinnacle of the Law Embodiment Realm in just a few days.
And that was after Zhou Qianlin had filtered out as much of the impure energy as she could.
