Chapter 729: Star River Throne, Flame Fire Reignited

Wei Zhenghong’s blood ran cold. He looked up at the faintly visible phantom of a giant, which seemed capable of shredding the Star Universe itself.

“The God-defying Halberd!”

Qing Cang’s expression changed drastically. He instantly understood—the Royal Court intended to focus their attack on a single point to break through the defense, which was why they had brought the throne here.

The Copper Heart was already trembling. A green torrent of data surged into the sky like a soaring dragon, converging into Qing Cang’s body. His eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth—all of them burst with an intensely rich green light.

BOOM!

Using him as a conduit, a pillar of data light shot up into the sky and plunged straight into the barrier.

BOOM!

The scythe blade wielded by the giant struck the barrier. Where the two collided, a boiling sphere of light rapidly expanded, its edges twisting with fine ripples of light.

Immediately following was a thunderous explosion, circular energy ripples rolling out, seemingly even more dazzling than the Flame Fire in the distance.

All who witnessed it trembled in fear.

Water-like ripples spread across the surface of the shield, making it look as though it would shatter at any moment. However, the data torrent erupting from Qing Cang’s body merged into it, mending the cracks and damage within.

SPURT!

Qing Cang spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face ashen. Several Chairmen rushed forward to support him.

At the same time, the Rebellious God King abruptly stood up from the Star River Throne as if sitting on hot coals. His face flushed red for a moment, but he calmed down shortly after.

“Using yourself as a conduit to reinforce a single area,” Lu Feng said, looking over from afar. Catching sight of Qing Cang spitting blood, a flash of contempt crossed his eyes. “You’re not even at the Morning Star Tier. Let’s see how many strikes you can take.”

The next moment, the Peng King appeared. Their eyes met, and this time, it was the Peng King who took his place upon the throne. An utterly brilliant roc manifested in the Star Universe, shattering in an instant and transforming into a meteor shower of fire that rained down overwhelmingly.

“Lin Langtian!” Qing Cang shouted in a deep voice, clutching his chest.

Lin Langtian took a deep breath and stepped forward. A cyan data torrent flooded into his body. Feeling as if he were about to explode, he gritted his teeth and vented it outward.

BOOM!

Outside the Energy Barrier, the flames of light were blinding.

BANG! Spilling blood across the sky, Lin Langtian was sent flying backward. His strength was not even on par with Qing Cang’s, and his aura rapidly withered. It wasn’t until he pulled out several bottles of Potion and chugged them down that he barely managed to stabilize himself.

The Peng King stood up, letting out a long breath, and said in displeasure, “Old Turtle…”

The Profound Turtle King appeared beside the Star River Throne. Looking toward the Bronze Sect’s position, he said helplessly, “Qing Cang, the crisis of the Flame Fire remains unresolved, and the Ancient King is not here. Why force yourselves to suffer like this?”

“Old Turtle!” Qing Cang sneered. “You’ve lived all these years for nothing.”

The Profound Turtle King sighed. “Indeed, I have lived all these years for nothing.”

He stepped forward, sitting shakily on the Star River Throne.

This time, what emerged was an ocean of black symbols, surging like the tide and wrapping around the external barrier of the Bronze Sect.

This attack consumed a great deal of his energy. As he stood up, a trace of blood seemed to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

On the other side, He Chengying stumbled several steps backward in the void, his face turning pale and ghastly.

Lu Feng cast a glance at him and said indifferently, “Still holding back on account of old ties…”

The Profound Turtle King smiled bitterly. “I’m old and useless now.”

“Heh…” Lu Feng sneered and walked toward the Star River Throne once again.

The rotation of three Morning Star Tier experts was far more devastating than the few Double Ninth Tier experts on the Bronze Sect’s side.

Inside and outside the Copper Heart, as well as in the surrounding Warships, the members of the Bronze Sect witnessed another earth-shattering round of attacks, unable to stop themselves from trembling in fear.

Chu Lingyuan had taken away two of the seven Chairmen, leaving only five. Including Qing Cang, after just two rounds, all of them were severely injured and panting heavily.

Meanwhile, Lu Feng had stepped up to the Star River Throne again. Even though this was his second time taking the seat, his expression remained as composed as ever.

“Who will take the next one?”

A seething, arrogant mental fluctuation swept outward, spreading far and wide. Every Sect member who witnessed this had an ashen face, trembling lips, and a dispirited expression.

“I’ll do it!” a hoarse voice rang out. Qing Cang turned his head in shock. “Ku Baiye?”

“I have kept this broken body alive solely for today.” Ku Baiye was already like a candle in the wind.

The Peng King frowned, his voice echoing out. “Qing Cang, why must you do this? We did not come here to slaughter. To think that such a senior elder has been disturbed… Given his physical condition, I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand even a single strike before he dies.

“He should have been allowed to live out his twilight years in peace, enjoying the company of his family.”

The Peng King didn’t want to see too many casualties. The more people who died, the more troublesome the aftermath would be.

Ku Baiye lowered his eyes. The wrinkled skin on his face folded together like the rings of a tree. “If we surrender to the Royal Court, in a thousand years, there will be no more Bronze Sect.”

He took a step forward. However, right at that moment, another voice hurriedly rang out, “Wait!”

Everyone’s expression changed. It was Wu Feng escorting Qin Yun, who was still bound in chains.

“He said…” Wu Feng hesitated. Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Yun interrupted him, “Let me do it.”

Qing Cang looked up, only to see a calm expression on Qin Yun’s face. “None of you can withstand it. I am at the Morning Star Tier, after all, so I can handle it with more ease.”

“Father…” Qin Lie stood on the Copper Heart and looked up, his expression complicated.

On the Floating Island, Wei Zhenghong’s face grew tense before he finally let out a sigh. “Forget it.”

With a complicated look, Qing Cang remained silent for a long time before simply saying, “Be careful.”

With a flick of his finger, the several black chains binding Qin Yun vanished without a trace.

“I know.” Qin Yun nodded. On his withered, gaunt face, there was not the slightest ripple of emotion.

Right at this moment, Lu Feng sat down. The black iron-like giant manifested once again, wielding its scythe blade.

The torrent of data converged into Qin Yun’s body, and a brilliant light radiated from his eyes.

Just as Lu Feng’s attack was about to strike, Qin Yun abruptly moved. A ferocious smile surfaced on his face, his skin and bones trembling in a way that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
