Chapter 1650: Fifth Stage Makes a Move

I don't want to die..

I don't want to die!

My clansmen are still waiting for me...!

The seven sides all approached together, but as the distance to the fortress decreased, the speed slowed.

The Stone Clan's people silently watched a void giant beast with fangs.

On skin like steel alloy, flowing red spiritual energy covered it. Its massive body resembled a war fortress.

At a glance, its appearance far surpassed that of the Stone Clan.

The starry sky beast likes to devour metals in asteroid belts, innately mastering the rules of devouring and energy conversion.

Compared to the Stone Clan's talent, this starry sky beast's combat power is definitely much higher.

But at this moment, this beast trembled all over as if it had lost its parents, standing behind them.

Everyone..!

You go first! You go first, okay!

I'm good at long-range attacks, but I really can't do close combat!

With its grim giant claws retracted behind it, this fourth-stage peak beast sent to probe Lin An now seemed extremely afraid, repeatedly begging the remaining six.

Although the fifth-stage ones told him this was just a probe, that star-shattering level likely had a problem and might not even deign to kill them!

But in his view, this was a dead end!

However, facing the starry sky beast's pleas, the remaining six showed no reaction, only feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

This fourth-stage peak beast feared death, with its clansmen waiting behind it to return.

And aren't they the same?

Cut the damn nonsense!

You're afraid of death, but we aren't?!

Charge in! Maybe there really is a problem!!

Looking at the silent fortress ahead, a red monster covered in blade-like spikes seemed unable to suppress its inner fear.

All we saw was him darkly frenzied; he simply roared and prepared to charge in.

Running away means death!

That damned star-destroying level has already issued a death order! Dare to flee and they'll strike and kill us!

Charging in also means death!

If so, better to gamble! Better to go all out!

If we succeed, the rewards promised by those fifth-stage ones would drive everyone mad! Not to mention...

Under extreme mental shift, amidst everyone's stunned gazes, the red-skinned war blade suddenly shot out like a meteor.

Almost in an instant.

All the fifth-stage powerhouses thousands of kilometers away stared fixedly at the first fourth-stage peak to charge into the fortress!

Lin An's initial strength was that of a fourth-stage peak!

If there really is a problem, this first round of probing will show the result!

Even if that red-skinned blade is killed instantly, we can still judge the lower limit of strength!

For a moment, various tense emotions spread throughout all the fifth-stage hearts.

Come on, let's see! Let's see if you're really star-shattering!

Bang bang! Bang! bang!

Almost at the instant when everyone's thoughts just arose.

Above the silent fortress, suddenly bursts of blood mist exploded.

Under the gaze of thousands of powerhouses watching, the originally tranquil fortress suddenly exploded with sky‑covering blood blossoms.

It was as if an invisible giant beast bit and crushed everyone in one gulp!

No sword was drawn! No figure appeared! No spiritual energy fluctuation!

Inside the fortress, it seemed a monster lurked, instantly killing all probes in an extremely bizarre way!

What is this?!

Thousands of li away, the pupil of the star‑destroying level chimera watching the rule light curtain suddenly contracted.

The image was magnified, magnified, and magnified again.

With four eyes observing simultaneously, he solemnly realized he could see no clue at all.

Killed so fast!

Although at this speed, any of them with a special fifth‑stage point could do it.

But this also means Lin An's strength is definitely not fourth stage!

Indeed there's a problem!

The system isn't wrong!? Is it really star‑shattering level?!

Just... why is there no rule fluctuation at all?!

Cannot be certain, cannot be judged.

The double‑headed chimera grimly watched the corpse falling from the sky like a lump of meat paste.

The first round of probing ended with the expected result.

Although that star‑shattering level made a move, the cannon fodder they sent also died instantly, and they gained no information at all.

The only useful information is that this star‑shattering level seemingly did not use rule power.

Do you think these ants aren't worthy of using rule power?

But shouldn't a method that looks like a mental attack consume more?

Or rather, Shatterstar-level beings no longer care about the optimal combat style!

Unable to determine, the double-headed chimera hesitated, looking at the fifth-stage boulder ejected from the light curtain.

He still has three fifth-stage beings he sent out.

We can definitely try again!

But he suddenly realized he was far less resolute than at the start.

Not being fourth stage... means a lot, huh...

Should we probe again? I'm really not afraid of that furious one!

Hei Di!

The fourth-stage beings we sent out died in seconds!

Startled, they turned back; a Black Star Fifth Stage gulped, nervously looking toward their strongest, Hei Di.

Although they had anticipated this result, it still stimulated them somewhat.

That guy in the fortress really has a problem!

Their suspicions and guesses are likely all wrong!

Instantly kill seven people?

Among them is even a starry sky giant beast...

Frowning in thought.

Unlike subordinates who want to give up probing, Hei Di at this moment calmly watches the returned image.

To better confirm Lin An's true combat power, he specially attached a wisp of mental power to the sacrificial fourth-stage.

In the last image he saw, there was endless darkness....

No, to be precise, it was a flash of bleak silver light in the darkness!

This...

Wrong!

This is definitely not a mental attack!

What does this mean!? It means that Shatterstar-level being used what ability to kill these fourth-stages!?

But although he saw an unusual image, Hei Di also irritably found he couldn't deduce anything from it.

Not using the rules representing Shatterstar level can be understood as unnecessary.

Using a special ability can be understood as that Shatterstar-level individual's personal habit.

This doesn't necessarily mean the opponent finds it taxing to kill a fourth-stage.

But likewise, it cannot prove the opponent truly possesses Shatterstar-level strength!

After a few seconds of silence, Hei Di's eyes seemed to flash with the image of Lin An being surrounded.

To be honest, he deep down doesn't believe a Shatterstar-level being needs to disguise as a fourth-stage!

Try again!

Let the fifth-stages act!

Fifth-stages should be able to force out that one's strength!

Having thought this, Hei Di unhesitatingly issued the command again.

He can still afford to lose a fifth-stage!

But if the bet pays off, perhaps it's an unimaginable gain!

A monster that isn't Shatterstar-level but bears the title, if he kills it, the reward would top ten of the same rank! No... even more!

But the moment his command was just issued, a special mental power surge suddenly rang in his mind.

Still want to continue?

Inside the fortress, Lin An tightly gripped his twin swords, a white light flashing across his body and then fading.

His head felt like it would split.

No one knows what price he paid to feign the power to instantly slay those seven fourth-stage peaks.

But it's obvious those fifth-stages seem not to have given up because of it.

Silently gazing at the Causal Sequence in his hand, Lin An's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce hue.
