Chapter 425 182: Divine Wrath

"Master, what happened?" Nangong Ba asked, looking at Feng Miaotian.

"Over a dozen Alien Races have joined forces to attack the Starry Sky Ancient City. The guardian array has already been breached."

Feng Miaotian said, his expression grim.

WHAT?!!!

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Chen Yu was also shocked.

The Starry Sky Ancient City, the main base of the Human Race, had stood unyielding for so long. Its survival was not as simple as it appeared.

The Ancient City's guardian array was supposed to be indestructible!

Not even a True God should have been able to break it easily.

"Shattering the guardian array requires the power of a True God. Did the Alien Race True Gods join forces to attack?"

Nie Tian asked, looking at Feng Miaotian.

"No." Feng Miaotian shook his head.

The two True Gods frowned at once.

'If the True Gods didn't act, then how was the guardian array destroyed?'

"Someone colluded with the Alien Race. They coordinated from the inside and out to break the guardian array," Feng Miaotian said.

"Those fucking bastards!"

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in fury.

The Starry Sky Ancient City was like an entire world, the main base of the Human Race with a population of at least a hundred million. The consequences of its fall were indisputable.

If it had been breached by the Alien Race in a frontal assault, they could have accepted it.

But this outcome truly ignited the rage in their hearts.

"Wait, wasn't the core of the guardian array under our control? Before we left, we handed control over to Ao Wushuang. With him holding down the fort, how could something like this happen?"

Zhuang Bo asked Feng Miaotian, his brow deeply furrowed.

"Ao Wushuang was lured away. Before he left, he passed control to several of the Starry Sky Ancient City's Vice City Lords."

"One of them, a Vice City Lord named Li Qing, was a mole planted by the Celestial Eye Race. After Ao Wushuang left, that bastard used a supreme treasure of the Celestial Eye Race to kill the other Vice City Lords and seize control."

Feng Miaotian explained.

Hearing this, everyone's face turned ashen.

The expressions of the two True Gods were also incredibly grim.

"That piece of filth deserves to die!" Everyone gritted their teeth, their killing intent surging.

"What about the others? They should be providing support, right?" Zhuang Bo asked.

Feng Miaotian replied, "They were all tied down ahead of time by those dozen-plus Alien Race True Gods. This was a premeditated attack. The goal is to annihilate the Starry Sky Ancient City."

"Has the Ancient City already been razed?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not yet. They've only just broken through. But even at our top speed, it would take us half a day to arrive. Even if I go alone at full speed, it would still take at least two hours. I'm afraid that will be too late," Feng Miaotian said with a sigh.

"Not necessarily." Chen Yu shot to his feet.

Looking at Chen Yu, Feng Miaotian seemed to realize something. His eyes lit up. "That's right! With your speed, you should be much faster. You can go on ahead as reinforcements. You might still be able to save the situation."

Chen Yu nodded lightly. Just as he was about to depart, Zhuang Bo spoke up. "Chen Yu, remember this: A True God must not attack any member of an Alien Race who is below the rank of True God."

"Hm?" Chen Yu narrowed his eyes at Zhuang Bo.

"It's a rule established by the Ten Thousand Races of the Celestial River Star System. If you make a move, you'll attract sanctions from the Life Court," Zhuang Bo said, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"The Life Court?" Chen Yu frowned.

This was the first time he had ever heard of this faction.

"It was created by the Celestial Race and is tacitly accepted by the Ten Thousand Races. True Gods may only attack other True Gods, not those beneath their rank," Nie Tian explained.

"The Celestial Race!"

Hearing this name, Chen Yu's pupils contracted.

He didn't know about the Life Court, but he knew of the Celestial Race.

They were a supreme hegemon that spanned multiple Star Systems. Feng Miaotian had once said that within the known universe, perhaps only the Daluo Star System and the Central Empire possessed the power to rival the Celestial Race.

Although not native to the Celestial River Star System, the Celestial Race had established a presence there.

"Although you can't act wantonly, as long as you confine your actions to within the Ancient City to kill and repel the Alien Race, there won't be a problem," Feng Miaotian added.

Hearing this, Chen Yu nodded, and his figure instantly vanished from the spaceship.

Watching Chen Yu disappear, the others were filled with a mixture of anger and helplessness.

The distance was too great; they couldn't provide support even if they wanted to.

"I wonder if he'll actually listen..." Feng Miaotian sighed.

Hearing this, Nie Tian and Zhuang Bo exchanged a glance.

"It should be fine. If something goes wrong, we'll join forces to protect him. Worst case, we'll ask Fellow Daoist Wu to intervene. Even if the Life Court comes, it won't be a major issue," Zhuang Bo said.

Feng Miaotian nodded slightly at this, but Zhuge Qingtian and the others were completely baffled.

'Fellow Daoist Wu?'

'Which supreme expert of the Human Race is that?'

'Why have I never heard of him?'

...

「Stellar Battlefield.」

A beam of Divine Light descended from the void. Chen Yu, traveling at his maximum speed, arrived at the Stellar Battlefield in just half an hour.

With a single thought, he appeared in the skies above the Human Race's main base in the very next instant.

Smoke and flames engulfed the Starry Sky Ancient City!

The sounds of countless massacres shook the heavens.

A dense army of the Alien Race swarmed in like a plague of locusts.

Without the protection of its greatest powers, and due to the betrayal from within, eighty to ninety percent of the Ancient City had already fallen, despite Chen Yu arriving as quickly as he could.

'Very good. It's time to make these bastards bleed.'

Monstrous killing intent flooded Chen Yu's eyes. With a single thought, a massive black blade materialized behind him.

Gazing at the endless hordes of the Alien Race army still swarming in from outside the city, Chen Yu acted on a thought.

BOOM—!!!

The heavens cracked as an ultimate blade aura annihilated the sky. The demon blade, containing supreme killing intent, delivered a strike fueled by rage.

A single slash shattered heaven and earth, its light sweeping across a million miles.

SCHWING!!!

Wherever the blade's light passed, countless soldiers of the Alien Race army were annihilated by the single strike.

Even though Chen Yu couldn't fully unleash the power of the Celestial Demon Blade, an Innate Emperor's Weapon, a casual strike from it was something not even a True God could block.

In an instant, a massive area outside the Ancient City was completely cleared.

When the blade's light faded, it revealed a chasm stretching a million miles across the land.

This single slash was powerful enough to sunder a world!

A massive amount of the Source of Life surged into him.

With that single strike, Chen Yu had harvested a full trillion points of the Source of Life.

It was a first for him.

"This...! Oh no, it's a True God of the Human Race!"

An aura that blotted out the very sky swept over them. In that instant, the gazes of countless members of the Alien Race turned to the figure high above.

His Divine Power was as oppressive as a prison!

The might of a True God was on full display!

It instantly stunned the myriad members of the Alien Race.

"A senior from our race is here! This is great! We're saved!"

In stark contrast to the terror of the Alien Race, the members of the Human Race were overjoyed.

With the arrival of a supreme expert, just one was needed to decide the fate of the world!

Before a True God, mere numbers were completely useless. The disparity was utterly crushing.

When a True God was angered, hundreds of millions of corpses would fall, and their blood would dye the starry rivers!

That single slash had eliminated a full seventy percent of the Alien Race army outside the city.

"ROAR!!!"

"ROAR!!!"

"ROAR!!!"

Before the remaining members of the Alien Race could even react, divine dragons manifested in the sky above.

Eighteen golden divine dragons, carrying with them a vast, heavenly might, charged toward the army of the Alien Race.
