Chapter 641: Chapter 480: Xu Gu Takes Action
“Heh heh, the strength of a civilization is not related to the order of its birth. But we are indeed much stronger than you.”
An ancestor from the Earth Spirit Clan has also made an appearance.
Similarly clad in Combat Mecha, his aura went from a Low Star Upper King to the level of a Middle Star Upper King.
“Just a bunch of ants stuck in the glory of past civilizations, forgotten by time.”
An ancestor from the Northern Alliance stepped forward, his aura that of a Low Star Upper King.
Though he was donned in Combat Mecha, his aura still couldn’t reach the level of a Middle Star; however, the High Energy Cannon he held made none of the powerhouses present dare to underestimate him.
In the ancient forest, several figures also emerged.
They were all leader-level presences of the starry locust race.
The special wood armor they were equipped with could also burst with incredible strength.
Their power did not fall short of the ancestors of the Northern Alliance.
“Boss, why waste words with these inferior life forms? Just wipe out their fleet and then wait for the other trash to deliver themselves to our doorstep.”
The second leader of the Cosmic Imperial Family spoke with a murderous intent.
“Kill!”
At this point, there was no room left for reconciliation, and the battle had already begun.
Intense beyond measure.
Although no Middle Star Upper Kings took part in this battle, the fluctuations it caused would still make any High Star Upper King frown.
Fleets of warships also began to open fire, providing long-range support for the ancestors from the Northern Alliance and Earth Spirit Clan; terrifying beams of energy emerged, as if easily capable of shattering space.
And on the ancient forest’s side, the white bones beneath all the ancient trees erupted with a mysterious and vast divine light, then, these bones started to converge, gradually forming into a white-boned Bimong.
Xu Gu once again laid eyes on the Bimong behemoth.
This ancient race.
Many more white bones transformed into other formidable races, such as dragons, phoenixes, and bone giants.
However, compared to the white-boned Bimong, their aura was much weaker. At best, they could only be considered as small fry.
The ancient forest saw swarms of starry locusts emerge, their faces fierce and greedy, staring menacingly at the warriors on the ground.
This scene caused a sudden change in the faces of the recruited talents and explorers.
They knew this exploration would be perilous, which is why they followed the main forces here. But they hadn’t anticipated it being this dangerous.
It felt like a real war at its extreme.
Merely lacking the participation of an Extreme King.
On the central warship, Xu Gu watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, utterly calm.
“I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling,” said Lian Yi, the Saintess of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
“You’re right to feel unease,” Xu Gu nodded.
“Could it mean that among these ancient races, there resides a formidable presence?” Lian Yi puzzled.
The battlefield seemed fierce, but this fierceness was only relative to the allied warriors; for Xu Gu, there was no danger.
In fact, being considered a distinguished person of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, they did not need to participate in the battle and were well protected.
“The Forty Thieves have not yet appeared,” Xu Gu said with a faint smile.
On the 5th star, the real trouble for Xu Gu wasn’t the Northern Alliance or the remnants of ancient races following the Creator’s Ark.
It was the Forty Thieves.
That Cosmic Pirate group mostly composed of Human Clan traitors.
Logically, they should have encountered each other by now. After all, the Forty Thieves were never ones for subtlety. Yet now, there was no news of them.
It seemed they were hiding somewhere, ready to ambush.
“The Forty Thieves,” Lian Yi took a deep breath, muttering, “Does master mean they might appear here?”
“They guessed that we would be interested in the Creator’s Ark and then lay in wait here in advance?” Leng Bingbing also felt somewhat alarmed.
It wasn’t a possibility that could be dismissed.
“These Cosmic Pirates should have some brains,” said the Earth Dragon Envoy.
It had heard of the fearsome reputation of the Forty Thieves.
Despite harboring some stereotypical views, thinking of them as barbaric, unreasonable, and extremely arrogant and rampant. However, upon reflection, if the Forty Thieves truly were a brainless gang, how could they have survived to this day?
“It should be here,” Xu Gu said.
“Then we need to be cautious. The strength of the Forty Thieves is formidable,” Lian Yi said solemnly.
On the other side, aboard the Earth Spirit Clan’s battleship, Ling Ru’s gaze remained fixed on Xu Gu and the others.
“With such a situation, there’s not a hint of panic. Do they have something to rely on?”
Ling Ru wondered, a slight frown creasing his brow.
He had thought that Xu Gu would be petrified with fear.
Clearly, he harbored bias against the young lords and ladies of the Mechanical Sea’s major races.
He saw them as fancy but insubstantial, all style and no substance.
Only he was the real deal, and the only reason he hadn’t crushed the younger generation was that his background wasn’t great.
“Attack!”
The vast murdering shouts echoed through the heavens.
All forces were seeing red.
Battleships charged from the sky, like spears viciously thrusting into the ancient forest.
They no longer planned to interfere from a distance.
“Let’s charge as well,” Xu Gu said, no longer interested in watching from the sidelines. After all, they had already wasted a few days on the way entering enemy territory.
Everything was nearly ready, all forces had arrived, and there was no need to waste any more time.
A straightforward push and harvest was the way to go.
“Eh? Okay!”
Originally, the situation was tense, and the high-ranking officials of the Northern Alliance were in a state of panic. Hearing that Xu Gu chose to make a move, they were instantly overjoyed.
Mainly because the enemy’s strength was beyond their imagination.
They even planned to attack the guards of the Creator’s Ark and incidentally take care of Xu Gu.
Now, they were even doubting whether they could achieve victory.
Having the ‘Qingqiu Fox Clan’ represented by Xu Gu intervene was like having a safety net. Of course, they were happy.
The conflict escalated entirely.
All members of the Cosmic Locust Clan clashed with all fleets of the Northern Alliance.
However, most of those rushing to the forefront were cannon fodder.
Many explorers on board the recruited battleships were directly torn apart by the skeletal behemoths.
The skeletal Bimong had also reached the status of an Upper King of the Middle Star.
Even if the Four Divine Sons came, they would have to say, “Excuse us, we can’t handle this.”
The Northern Alliance’s high-level warriors were restrained by the leaders of the Cosmic Locust Clan.
This skeletal Bimong behemoth, naturally, could wreak havoc in the crowd.
Only then did the recruited explorers and warriors start to feel remorse.
Rewards, opportunities, and the favor of beauties were not so easy to come by.
“Young Master, shall we not take advantage of the chaos to slay that lad and capture his two maids?”
In the Earth Spirit Clan’s fleet, a confidant said to Ling Ru.
“No need,” Ling Ru replied: “My target is Phoenix Nine Heavens; the two of them pale in comparison to her. There’s no need to attract unnecessary trouble.”
He had seen the skeletal Bimong charge towards the battleship where Xu Gu and the others were.
“Beauty, choosing the wrong person to follow comes with a price. Such a pity. I should go meet up with the real boss, the Forty Thieves’ second in command.”
Ling Ru mused deeply to himself.
Just as he was about to make a move, his expression suddenly froze, and his gaze became vacant, as if he had witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his lifetime.
Then, his pupils constricted, his eyes widened in shock, his Divine Soul trembled, and his scalp numbed.
“This is impossible! How did he do it!”
