Chapter 1239

Above the central province of the Flame Empire, a massive fragment of a star had begun to take shape.

This fragment was enormous, its diameter reaching tens of thousands of kilometers.

When it hung in the sky, not only the central province, but even the twenty-four western provinces and the northern provinces could see it from afar.

Its surface was covered in solid rock, appearing utterly desolate!

"Are the stars in the sky about to fall?"

Countless citizens of the Flame Empire stepped out of their homes, gazing up at the sky—at that colossal celestial body!

With the size of this star, even if it launched no attack, simply crashing down would be enough to reduce the central province to a wasteland of death.

In ages past, a demon god once summoned countless stars to destroy the world!

The strength of the Continent of Gods was such that no number of stars could ever destroy it; these stars were like eggs compared to stones.

No matter how many eggs fell, they could never shatter the stone.

But the ants on the stone would all die.

"Here it comes!"

In the imperial capital of the Flame Empire, Meng Ying lifted her head and looked to the sky.

Beside Meng Ying, Lin Yan's Holy Maidens had already gathered.

Around the imperial capital of the Flame Empire, tens of millions of troops and countless powerful warriors stood ready.

"If this star crashes down, we must pray for the aid of our god."

Said Tina, beside Meng Ying.

After becoming Lin Yan's Holy Maiden, Tina focused on breaking through to the Fourth Rank of the Holy Realm; with Lin Yan's help, she had successfully ascended to the Fourth Rank of the Holy Realm!

And Meng Ying had already reached the Third Rank of the Holy Realm!

In addition, the fox girl Qing Ling had reached the Second Rank of the Holy Realm.

As for Princess Luo Ying and the others, they had all become Legendary-tier combatants.

Furthermore, under the Lv10 boost of the Civilization Flame, the Flame Empire was now more prosperous than ever, with powerful warriors emerging in abundance, and Legendary-tier beings exceeding thirty in number.

The number of Forbidden Spell-tier beings had surpassed a thousand.

The number of Seventh Rank Grand Mages was countless!

In addition, the Flame Empire had manufactured a vast number of weapons with terrifying power.

These weapons were, of course, not technological weapons; in a world saturated with magical elements, pure technological weapons lost much of their potency.

Especially in high-end confrontations, pure technological weapons were utterly ineffective.

Here, technology could only mean magical technology.

Combining magic with technology.

For example, Princess Luo Di invented a large magical crossbow, which had been widely issued to the army and possessed immense power.

This large magical crossbow required several people to operate; its arrows were stored in magical pouches and drawn directly from a small magical array.

Its range was also extremely fast, and when paired with Explosive Flame, it was even more terrifying than a machine gun.

After all, machine gun bullets cannot cause large-scale damage.

Moreover, this weapon's penetration power was terrifyingly strong.

In the magical world, the hardness of many materials had greatly increased; at the level of great empires, warriors' armor, though inferior to that of the Flame Empire, could still easily block bullets propelled by gunpowder weapons.

Even weapons like RPGs struggled to injure a mid-rank warrior fully armored.

Of course, the gunpowder here might have also changed, becoming magical gunpowder, which had strong effects against equipment containing magical substances.

But because of Explosive Flame, the Flame Empire abandoned this line of development.

After all, Explosive Flame was irreplicable.

But gunpowder weapons could be replicated!

Under the gaze of the two women, the star ultimately did not crash down.

Instead, it halted at a height of one hundred thousand meters above the Continent of Gods.

To powerful cultivators, at this height, everything on the star was clearly visible.

It appeared to be nothing more than a lifeless, dead star.

But the next second.

"Boom!"

A massive crack suddenly split open across the star's surface!

Immediately, countless flying ships surged wildly out from the crack!

The number of these flying ships was not ordinary.

They filled the sky, blotting out the sun and moon!

Like a swarm of locusts!

Each flying ship carried relatively few people.

These flying ships resembled the Flame Empire's aerial warships.

But they were smaller and more agile than the Flame Empire's aerial warships.

This star, which had existed for countless ages, possessed terrifying strength!

Even though the dark starry void was utterly silent, the resources within that dark void were still abundant.

This star had long roamed the dark starry void, gathering minerals and resources from various planets to arm itself.

Its population was also immense—numbered in the hundreds of millions, nearly reaching the maximum carrying capacity of the star.

In truth, this was only natural; after all, this was a nation that a powerful Law Lord had hidden for countless years!

Over countless years, generation after generation within the nation had come and gone, countless dynasties having risen and fallen.

The entire realm grew ever more prosperous.

That Lord of Law even expended power to add stronger laws within this star, narrowing the gap between its people and those of the Gods' Continent considerably.

Their individual strength was likewise formidable.

This time, not a single warrior dispatched from this star was below First Rank.

And the flying ships they piloted were all the more fearsome weapons of attack!

"Boom!"

As this flying ship shot out, one after another divine incarnations began descending from the heavens.

Clearly, the Lord of Law to whom this star belonged also possessed a hidden divine pantheon in the Heavenly Realm.

"Pray, Holy Maiden!"

Meng Ying looked toward the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling.

The fox-woman Sister Qing Ling nodded and began to pray devoutly.

Though their strength was already considerable, with so many divine incarnations—and the aura emanating from them already terrifyingly powerful—they could only pray for the gods' power.

To fight god with god.

"The Flame Lord's enemies have gone to attack the Flame Empire. Lord Tianfeng, what shall we do?"

After Meng Ying and the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling prayed, a great number of divine lords in the Heavenly Realm immediately received the information Lin Yan had transmitted to them through special means.

Lord Tianlong and Lord Tianfeng, that pair of close buddies, were still huddled together, discussing a plan.

Lord Tianfeng's face flickered between shadow and light.

Now, the Flame Lord was assaulting the Main God.

One only had to think to know how immensely powerful the Flame Lord's enemies truly were.

Of course, due to the special restrictions of the Gods' Continent's laws, a Fourth Rank divine incarnation of the Holy Realm was already the limit.

Even a Lord of Law had no way to send down a divine incarnation equivalent to Fifth Rank of the Holy Realm.

Of course, a Lord of Law could grant their own divine incarnation the strength of Fifth Rank of the Holy Realm for a short time.

Moreover, a powerful Lord of Law could descend upon the Gods' Continent directly in their true form.

But no Lord of Law would do so.

The Flame Lord is right there in the Heavenly Realm—dealing with the Flame Lord directly would suffice; why would they need to bother with the Flame Lord's realm?

A Lord of Law descending upon the Gods' Continent faced no small risk, and even a Lord of Law, descending in true form, would face a terrifying suppression!

The laws of the Gods' Continent had been reinforced jointly by the nine Main Gods!

Impossibly solid, and not at all friendly to any power exceeding the limit.

"The Flame Lord may fail, but may also succeed. Tianlong, let's gamble—don't care what others think, we strike!"

Lord Tianfeng said in a low voice.
