Chapter 728: Star River Throne, Flame Fire Reignited

Hearing this, the expressions of Chairmen Lin Langtian, He Chengying, and the others shifted slightly, but they said nothing.

“Like I said, you are more than welcome to try,” Qing Cang said, his expression cold and stern.

“Then it’s settled.” Peng King didn’t mind his attitude. These words weren’t just meant for Qing Cang, but for everyone in the Bronze Sect to hear. This was to prevent any misunderstandings later that they were truly here to annihilate the Bronze Sect and leave no survivors. If too many people died, they wouldn’t be able to integrate them into the Royal Court. With that said, he and Lu Feng vanished together.

“Prepare to strike. Don’t waste time. The faster, the better,” Peng King said in a deep voice as soon as he returned to the command room.

“Sigh…” The hunched Profound Turtle King sighed heavily to the side. “Qing Cang is a loyal supporter of the Bronze Ancient King. Even if he bleeds his last drop of blood, he would never willingly join the Royal Court.”

“Whether they join or not isn’t up to him alone.” Peng King shook his head dismissively. “I don’t believe that many people are truly ready to embrace death. Besides, we aren’t here to kill. Make your move.”

“Mhm,” the Rebellious God King nodded, looking at Han Xiao.

A flash of excitement darted through Han Xiao’s eyes. Licking his lips, he took a deep breath and bowed slightly toward a certain direction. Without him making any further movements, a brilliant beam of light shot out from his body straight toward the heavens. Strangely, the light didn’t blast through the metal ceiling above; instead, it phased right through. Above the mothership, a Star River Throne gradually manifested. The throne’s body flowed with brilliant gold and deep blue Flowing Light, surrounded by overlapping nebula vortices, while purple and pale gold energy currents swirled and surged within.

The Profound Turtle King’s nearly squinted eyes suddenly snapped wide open. “The Star River Throne?” he exclaimed in shock. “You actually brought the throne out? Nonsense! This is utter nonsense!” he shouted sternly. “Without the Star River Throne and with all of us Morning Stars out here, what will the Royal Court rely on for defense?”

“No one would dare strike the Royal Court,” Lu Feng replied, his expression indifferent. “Furthermore, no one knows we brought the Star River Throne out. Right now, we must crush the Bronze Sect with the momentum of a thunderbolt. The longer we drag this out, the greater the trouble.” The Royal Court’s goal wasn’t just to breach the Copper Heart within three months; they wanted to break through in ten days, or even a single day.

Peng King nodded in agreement. “Only by doing this can we extinguish all thoughts of rebellion within the Bronze Sect.”

“It’s one thing for you to be crazy, but why is the Royal Clan joining in on this mess?” The Profound Turtle King glared angrily at Han Xiao.

The latter, however, smiled. “Turtle King, don’t let anger ruin your health. The Royal Clan considered this. This is indeed a rare opportunity, well worth the risk.”

“Risk… risk…” The Profound Turtle King shook his head repeatedly, helpless to do anything else.

“The Star River Throne?”

In the void a bit further away, some spaceships and warships remained in Concealment. They belonged to either spies from various major factions or information brokers looking to sell intelligence. Far too many people cared about a major event like this; firsthand news held astonishing value. At this moment, they were all thoroughly stunned by the throne’s appearance and hurriedly began recording.

Qing Cang narrowed his eyes, gazing at the distant fleet. “Over the past ten thousand years, have there been few factions that joined the Royal Court? Today, the Royal Court remains the Royal Court. As for those factions… their bloodlines have likely gone extinct.” When it came to assimilation and devouring everything from extinct factions, no one could surpass the Royal Court.

Several Chairmen exchanged subtle glances, knowing that Qing Cang was reminding them. Just as they were about to state their stance, Lin Langtian’s expression shifted slightly, and he cried out in shock, “Is that… the Star River Throne?”

Qing Cang also noticed the radiant light above the mothership. He exclaimed in shock, “They even brought out the Star River Throne?” He recalled what Su Chen had said. The Royal Court was truly empty right now. If someone were to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack…

“The Royal Court is determined to win this time…” Lin Langtian and the others’ hearts sank.

“The Star River Throne?”

Inside the temporary command center, total silence fell. As high-ranking officials, they naturally recognized this artifact. It was the highest manifestation of the Royal Court’s technological prowess, rumored to be forged with a fragmented Moonlight Spirit as its core. Back when the five Ancient Kings simultaneously besieged that Emperor, the reason they failed to kill him immediately and let him return to the Royal Court before falling was entirely due to the existence of this Star River Throne.

“It’s Lu Feng…” He Chengying’s expression was solemn. Before the Star River Throne, the Rebellious God King appeared, facing the crowd directly with a cold and piercing gaze. Immediately after, he was seen slowly sitting down, gradually descending onto the Star River Throne.

In an instant, everyone felt the Star Universe suddenly darken. It wasn’t true darkness, but rather a descent of some oppressive pressure that transcended sight. The aura erupting from Lu Feng’s body crossed the vast distance, crashing right into their faces. A figure formed of starlight surfaced from the throne, looking exactly identical to Lu Feng.

Then, he transformed. His body silently expanded and shot upward. His bones were like ancient pines breaking through the soil. In a mere moment, he had morphed into a giant god towering over ten thousand meters high, his physique appearing as if it were cast from black iron.

“Anti-God Titan…” Lin Langtian’s pupils contracted. “This is Lu Feng’s main class, but it’s been amplified by the Star River Throne to an inconceivable degree.”

Immediately, the Anti-God Titan raised his hand. A speck of deep blue radiance split open at his fingertips, like an inverted flow of molten gold or a cascading heavenly river. In an instant, it condensed into a gigantic scythe composed of flowing light. The edges crackled with fine electrical arcs that looked like crumbling stardust. The scythe’s handle was wrapped in spiraling patterns, each engraved with ancient talismans.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the star scythe forged of pure Energy was swung forward. Its silent blade sliced through space. Wherever the scythe’s shadow passed, the void seemed to be torn apart by a giant invisible hand, sending out layers of ripples.

Above the Copper Heart, everyone tilted their heads up, their faces filled with terror. Even though they were separated by a vast distance, they all felt as if that scythe was slashing directly toward their own faces.
