As a result, their combat prowess was limited to a single area.
Through their control of the battlefield and the strength of their Paragons, Lan Jue was able to take control of the situation.
Lan Jue was waiting for the enemy to strike.
He was confident that even if an Infinite-level foe attacked, he and Zhou Qianlin's Harmonious Swords would be able to neutralize them in a short time.
In fact, he had done just that.
What he needed to do now was create an opportunity for his mother and father.
Even if they could sense his mother's presence, they wouldn't necessarily be able to detect his father.
Jueti was humanity's strongest Paragon. He had been an Infinite-level powerhouse for many years.
In terms of cultivation, the Violet Prince and Princess were no match for him in a one-on-one fight.
Only the real Monarch could pose a threat to him.
Lan Jue's greatest hope was that the Violet Prince or Princess would attack her. If the Cameraman and Jueti attacked together, it was likely they would be able to kill one of them.
If they could kill an Infinite-level Paragon, it would be a great boon to humanity.
Moreover, the vital crystal of an alien of this level would be of great help to Jueti.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lan Jue had worked very hard.
Who knew the aliens would be able to summon so much power to nullify Jue Di's all-out attack?
When Jue Di's staff fell, Lan Jue could feel it. It wasn't something her and Zhou Qianlin's Harmonious Swords could withstand.
It was terrifying. Jue Di's all-out attack was beyond terrifying.
He now knew where Jueti's heritage had come from.
That was a peerless almighty being who had left behind countless legends in the ancient times. He was in no way inferior to the Gods and Buddhas, and he was later given the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
The Paragon's Armament in Jue Di's hand was the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
In terms of power, it was no weaker than any of the Banishing Blades.
In fact, it was even stronger.
Even so, he had failed to kill the Violet Princess.
Jueti didn't seem to be depressed. He floated in the air. Even though he didn't attack again, he still became the center of attention.
The appearance of Jueti boosted the morale of the humans.
The Marauders, on the other hand, were afraid of his aura and hesitated.
The Violet Prince's face darkened. Around him appeared four doppelgangers, but only one of them was Monarch's doppelganger.
Monarch's avatar took a step forward, passing the Violet Prince and appearing directly across from Jueti.
A dark purple light flickered on his body.
However, his aura was only at the level of Nirvana.
"Thou art also an almighty being of a generation. To be able to reach such a realm, why must thou resist us?
Since we created our world, there must be a piece of land for you.
Only by working together could they resist the laws of the universe!
Don't tell me you still don't understand this logic at your level? "
The deep voice seemed to have a special kind of magic that made everyone who heard it feel convinced.
This was Monarch's voice. He was not present, but he was able to speak through his avatar.
Lan Jue looked at the dark purple light around him. It was Monarch who had just rescued the Violet Princess.
He couldn't help but be astounded by this discovery.
Weren't the alien planets evolving?
How could he still display such powerful strength?
This meant they still had the power to fight.
Didn't that mean Lan Qing's forces would have to face some of the alien home worlds?
How could they stand a chance?
Lan Jue felt as if she'd been plunged into an icy abyss.
Jueti's voice was placid. "You are right. Resisting universal protogenia is more important to us. But you have your people, and I have mine.
The basis of your resistance against the laws of the universe is to harm my race and kill a large number of my people. Do you think that under such circumstances, it is possible for me to stand with you?
Those who are not of my race are not of the same mind.
Even if you succeed in creating a world that defies universal protogenia, it will not suit us. We are not of the same race, we cannot live in the same immortal realm. "
Monarch's voice was cold. "You do not have the right to stop me.
If I successfully break through and enter another realm, I can consider not slaughtering your clansmen anymore. That's because it doesn't have much meaning to me.
But only if you give up all resistance. "
Jueti laughed. "Do you think I'm three years old?
I'm just saying it.
If you succeed and go back on your word, the human race will be destroyed.
Our destiny is in our own hands.
You have the power to complete your evolution. Let us see who will emerge victorious in the end. "
Monarch regarded Jueti with cold eyes. After a long moment, he nodded. "Very well!"
There was a flash of purple light, and the avatar returned to normal.
The aliens around them slowly retreated. They did not continue their attack.
The alien behemoth roared in fury as its tail snapped in half. It tossed the Terminator aside and joined the rest of its allies in gathering around the Violet Prince and Princess. Slowly, it retreated into the depths of space.
They had been defeated.
Jueti's appearance and power had forced the aliens to retreat.
It was a happy ending. The aliens had left a trail of corpses behind, while the humans had come out unscathed.
Lan Jue did not order them to pursue. The aliens had retreated in an orderly fashion, without the slightest hint of confusion. If they pursued, what if there was an ambush?
Their mission was to protect Angel.
"Let's go back." Jueti's voice was low.
Star Division was responsible for disposing of the alien corpses. Once the vital crystals were harvested, they returned to Angel.
They'd stopped it!
They'd driven the enemy back!
The news spread like wildfire to every corner of Angel.
They'd stopped it!
Lan Jue and the others were not particularly happy. The war had only just begun.
What was more important was the situation on the front lines.
They hadn't yet returned to Middle Heaven. They had to wait and see how the battle played out.
While they were engaged in battle, the front lines were still locked in a stalemate.
"Good!" Lan Qing's eyes lit up when he heard that Lan Jue and the others had repelled the invading aliens.
Only when the rear was secure could they attack without fear.
Kang Hui and Huali heard the good news as well.
"Shall we begin, Admiral Lan?" Kang Hui's voice was low.
Lan Qing nodded. It was time.
A few minutes later, Middle Heaven finally began to move.
The Violet Prince and Princess, as well as the avatars, were not present. This meant the number of elite aliens was much smaller.
This was their best chance.
Lan Qing had been waiting for news from Angel. He'd been waiting for this moment to come.
An orange-red light appeared behind Middle Heaven, propelling it slowly toward the aliens.
This time the aliens had no planet to hide behind. They could only face the humans head-on.
The three bastions moved at the same time, followed by twelve fleets in perfect formation. Slowly they closed in on the enemy.
The formation of the aliens changed. The ones at the front began to scatter, revealing their rear.
The humans could see a host of behemoths emerge from the back of the alien army.
The beasts looked like winged crocodiles, each ten thousand meters long. There were twelve of them, and on top of each head stood a humanoid figure. They were avatars from the alien planets.
Twelve behemoths, twelve avatars.
In other words, this was the equivalent of twenty-four Paragons. Their avatars were at least at the Nirvana level, and three of them were at the Infinite level.
Even though they had predicted this, Lan Qing couldn't help but suck in a breath. The aliens were stronger than they'd imagined.
Up until now, the aliens hadn't used their full strength against the humans. If this had been said before, people would have thought they were overestimating their strength. But now the truth was right in front of their eyes.
Everything was clear.
Kang Hui's brows furrowed. When he first heard Lan Qing say the aliens were hiding their true strength, he didn't quite believe it. He thought Lan Qing was being too cautious.
If the aliens were strong enough, why didn't they send them out in the first battle?
Although Lan Qing had analyzed the situation, Kang Hui had only accepted it on the surface.
Now the truth was clear.
The sheer number of high-level aliens was proof of the aliens' power.
After all, not even twenty-four Paragons could be found in the entire human world.
"Admiral Lan Qing, should we ask the other Paragons to come?" Kang Hui asked.
