Chapter 162: Mighty Barbara, Charging Out of the Dark Universe

"They're here!"

Inside the space fortress, not long after, the dense dark beasts surged forward again.

The battle resumed.

"Let him sleep a while."

Yuan Zhen and the other cultivators did not choose to wake the sleeping Lu Xun.

These days, they have seen Lu Xun's performance; these battle-hardened cultivators are all full of admiration for him.

Many of them actually aren't that fond of geniuses.

Although many geniuses grow quickly, their performance on the battlefield isn't necessarily as strong as that of these cultivators.

Especially in this kind of protracted war.

Some fresh-out-of-school geniuses, in such battles, tend to overexert themselves, leading to later fatigue.

They, however, know how to conserve their strength to the greatest extent, allowing each of them to endure longer.

Lu Xun is different.

At first, they also thought Lu Xun was overexerting himself.

But who can keep overexerting themselves for over ten days?

Lu Xun is not only strong in strength, his combat experience is also not lacking; he is like a perpetual motion machine, with an endless supply of true qi and spiritual power.

This makes them unable not to admire him.

"Boom~"

Amid the deafening roar, the Annihilation Star Cannon fired again.

A fireball hundreds of meters wide instantly carved a passage through the dark beast horde, shooting into deep space.

These ordinary dark beasts are not worthy of causing the Annihilation Star Cannon's attack to explode.

The shell of the Annihilation Star Cannon looks like a mere giant fireball, but its principle is extraordinarily complex.

Once this fireball explodes, it is sufficient to destroy an ordinary planet the size of the moon.

Such an attack cannot be done even by Fu Xue, a peak Six Realm powerhouse.

Not to mention the Six Realm, even the Seven Realm cannot do it.

The advantage of such weapons is immense power; the disadvantage is that they are relatively fragile and overly cumbersome, making them actually not very useful against strong opponents.

Its main purpose is to clear the field, reducing the pressure on Lan Xing.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Lu Xun was shaken awake.

When the Annihilation Star Cannon fires, the entire space fortress shakes, like an earthquake.

After waking up, he only then realized he was still on the battlefield.

Thus, Lu Xun hurriedly got up and joined the battle.

"Damn it, will it ever end?"

This battle continued for another week.

During this week, the dark beast tide grew increasingly fierce.

Lu Xun, this firefighting captain, can barely keep up.

In the meantime, Fu Xue had no choice but to unleash her ultimate move again, sending a wave of clearing against the dark beasts to reduce the fortress's pressure.

Her pressure, in fact, is also increasing.

Because the number of Six Realm dark beasts is increasing, sometimes several come at once.

Fortunately, Fu Xue's combat strength is strong; killing Six Realm dark beasts is no problem for her.

These dark beasts are terrifying in number.

If there were not a large number of Annihilation Star Cannons and top experts clearing the field, they could completely surround Lan Xing in layers upon layers.

Lu Xun has never heard of such a massive dark beast tide since he was born.

"This should be the largest dark beast tide in nearly twenty years, little brother. Conserve your strength; Lan Xing doesn't know how long it will take to break out of the dark universe."

Yuan Zhen, like an older sister, is very concerned about Lu Xun.

The largest dark beast tide in nearly twenty years!

No wonder,

Lu Xun this time also just happened to catch it.

"The teacher is in trouble."

At this moment, Lu Xun discovered that Fu Xue was in trouble.

Among her opponents, there is a dark beast that is especially troublesome, cooperating with several other dark beasts to launch a siege on her.

"Seven Realm!"

Lu Xun's gaze narrowed.

That turned out to be a Seven Realm dark beast.

The others were Six Realm dark beasts.

No wonder, even with Fu Xue's formidable strength, they couldn't be quickly resolved.

"Lu Xun, little brother, Elder Fu is in trouble. You hold down below; I'll go help. Otherwise, if this continues, the Six Realm dark beasts will keep increasing, and we'll be in danger."

Yuan Zhen decided to go help Fu Xue.

She is a Fifth Realm Grand Master; on a cultivator's battlefield, her addition would not be of much use.

When dealing with dark beasts, however, she can help Fu Xue bear some of the pressure.

A Fifth Realm Grand Master usually has a few trump cards for dealing with Six Realm opponents.

Senior Sister Zhen, you guard below, I'll go.

Lu Xun decided to go himself.

As soon as his words fell, he stepped on his flying sword and flew up into the sky.

Brother, those are Six Realms dark beasts...

Yuan Zhen panicked, wanting to stop Lu Xun, but a group of powerful dark beasts attacked, forcing her to act.

Don't come!

In the sky, Fu Xue saw Lu Xun approaching and quickly sent a mental transmission.

The battlefield above the Six Realms is too terrifying for other cultivators.

Even though Fu Xue's opponent is merely a dark beast, the Six Realms dark beast is not something Lu Xun can handle.

Not to mention dealing with it; even a slight involvement would mean doom.

Teacher, I have a trump card that should create an opportunity for you; get ready, I'm going to use it!

Lu Xun did not get too close.

Because the Six Realms battlefield is indeed too terrifying.

Although his strength exceeds the norm, it hasn't exceeded enough to dare challenge the Six Realms.

Even if these are merely Six Realms dark beasts.

What Lu Xun wanted to use was Babara's incantation.

Use the incantation to create an opportunity for Fu Xue.

Due to the huge strength gap, he wasn't sure whether his incantation would work on Seven Realms beings.

Lu Xun was equally unsure whether the incantation would work on dark beasts.

All we can do is try.

Okay.

Lu Xun's words surprised Fu Xue a little.

Does Lu Xun still have a trump card that can intervene in the battle above the Six Realms?

After a pause, she decided to let Lu Xun give it a try.

If Lu Xun fails, she will use her trump card.

This is a string of meaningless characters.

Lu Xun channeled chaotic power and launched the incantation at that Seven Realms dark beast.

Huh?

But,

What surprised Lu Xun was,

that Seven Realms dark beast was completely unaffected.

Alright.

Lu Xun admitted, he was embarrassed.

Well, with such a huge strength gap, the incantation is ineffective; besides, these dark beasts aren't ordinary lifeforms, the incantation needs to change.

Babara's voice suddenly echoed in Lu Xun's mind.

At this critical moment, Babara actually woke up again.

Fortunately, this time she only regained consciousness, rather than turning into a humanoid cat as before; otherwise Lu Xun would be even more embarrassed.

Babara, do you have a way?

Lu Xun communicated with Babara on the level of consciousness.

Forget it, just consider it helping you; make some movement to cover for me.

Okay.

Coincidentally, dark beasts attacked nearby; Lu Xun kept striking, killing them.

He deliberately used fireballs; the light and sound from their explosions could provide cover for Babara.

Babara poked her little head out of Lu Xun's pocket, her pair of blue eyes fixed on the Seven Realms strange beast.

Listen well, I'll only teach this once.

Her voice rang again in Lu Xun's mind.

Then Babara opened her little mouth and spat out a string of incantation:

This is also a string of meaningless characters.

As soon as the words fell,

The Seven Realms strange beast fighting Fu Xue, together with several nearby Six Realms strange beasts, were all immobilized there, unable to move.

Oh dear, I haven't used a spell in a long time; I overdid it.

Babara hurriedly darted back into Lu Xun's pocket, fearing Fu Xue would notice something odd.

In the sky, this abnormal scene also made Fu Xue involuntarily startle.

Given her grasp of battle opportunities, she only startled for a moment before swinging her long sword, unleashing a splendid attack.

That extremely troublesome Seven Realms strange beast was heavily wounded by her single strike.

It thereby regained its freedom and was ready to fight Fu Xue to the death.

However, the heavily wounded Seven Realms strange beast saw its combat power greatly reduced, and was no match for Fu Xue.

Boom!

Just a few minutes later, this formidable Seven Realms strange beast, under Fu Xue's attack, turned into countless shards of ice.

Meanwhile, the several Six Realms strange beasts immobilized by Babara still hadn't recovered, remaining completely still there.

Fu Xue glanced at Lu Xun with some surprise, then swiftly swung her long sword and disposed of them all.

By this time, Lu Xun was no longer in the high skies.

Barbara exerted a bit too much force this time; Fu Xue, being so smart, would surely notice the abnormality.

What kind of trump card could immobilize a Seven Realm Dark Beast and keep several Six Realm Alien Beasts motionless for half a day?

Even if such a trump card existed, it would surely cost a fortune.

Could a powerless, penniless student like Lu Xun afford it?

So Lu Xun had already slipped away, running to other regions to lend support.

"Barbara's strength is probably not merely great."

Barbara's move this time let Lu Xun glimpse the tip of her power's iceberg.

This extraterrestrial princess's strength is absolutely not ordinary.

Otherwise, even if the spell itself were miraculous, it would be difficult to immobilize a Seven Realm Dark Beast and several Six Realm Dark Beasts for so long.

Dark Beasts themselves are unlike other life forms.

After dealing with the Seven Realm Alien Beast, Fu Xue felt no pressure, struck repeatedly, killing more Dark Beasts and easing the pressure on the space fortress.

Her ultimate move, after all, is an ultimate move—activating it once consumes a great deal.

However, Six Realm cultivators, even without unleashing their ultimate move, slaughter Dark Beasts with extraordinary speed.

"Lan Xing should soon break out of the Dark Universe."

Fu Xue's frequent strikes made Lu Xun feel that Lan Xing's breakout from the Dark Universe was not far off.

As a Six Realm Peak powerhouse, his perception of heaven and earth is all the clearer.

When Lan Xing is about to break out of the Dark Universe, there are some omens.

Fu Xue must have sensed this omen, which is why she disregarded the cost and struck repeatedly.

Lu Xun also held nothing back, going all out and slaughtering Dark Beasts without cease.

After fighting like this for most of the day, Lan Xing's surface began to glow.

"We're about to break out of the Dark Universe!"

Yuan Zhen cheered.

Lan Xing glowing is a sign of breaking out of the Dark Universe.

"Finally, we're about to break out of the Dark Universe!"

On the ground, countless people were also cheering.

This time Lan Xing has spent quite a while in the Dark Universe— a full twenty days.

Moreover, it suffered a terrible dark beast tide.

The dark beast tide even spread to the ground, with many cities coming under attack.

If time were to drag on any longer, the situation would only worsen.

The dark beasts seemed to sense Lan Xing's imminent departure and launched ever more frenzied attacks.

"Hold them off!"

Now it is the standard darkness before dawn.

Because the dark beasts are too frenzied.

However, the situation at the space fortress is, compared to before, actually somewhat better.

Because everyone saw hope, they no longer needed to cautiously husband their strength; all went all out, and consequently held back the dark beasts.

The light emitted by Lan Xing also grew ever stronger.

This light, in fact, is not very noticeable on the ground.

In space, however, it is all too obvious.

After a short half-day, Lan Xing shone at its brightest.

The entire planet burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, like a ignited star, dazzling to the point of being impossible to stare at directly.

In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

All the light suddenly contracted, condensing into a searing white pillar that spanned the star river, shooting forward with a thunderous roar.

Wherever the pillar passed, space shattered like fragile glass, layer upon layer, emitting a heart‑pounding "hum" vibration.

A space rift tens of thousands of li long was torn open by force!

Beyond the rift lay a dreamlike, variegated star river, countless starlights flowing within, like a gateway to a new world.

Lan Xing began to accelerate, rushing toward this rift.

However—

Sky‑obscuring, earth‑covering hordes of dark beasts surged from all directions, instantly flooding the entire rift like a black tide.

They howled madly, using their bodies to erect a wall of flesh and blood, vowing to keep Lan Xing forever trapped in the Dark Universe.

"Boom boom boom~"

The Star Annihilation Cannon roared.

Each strike could kill countless dark beasts.

Upon the moon, moreover, burst forth thousands upon thousands of ultimate brilliance light pillars; wherever they reached, dark beasts turned to mustard.

Furthermore, peerless human experts took action, and before Lan Xing arrived, they swept away the dark beasts blocking the rift in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterward, Lan Xing dove headfirst into the rift.

"Hum~~~"

As if passing through an invisible membrane.

The entire Lan Xing shuddered violently,

At the same time, on the surface of Lan Xing, those countless dark beasts all turned into flying ash and dissipated at the same moment.

They cannot leave the dark universe.
