Chapter 2199: Eternal Star Radiance 36

Neat and decisive, with no unnecessary speculation.

Hearing the Proton Worm's analysis, all fourteen Captains present grimaced.

"So, this team actually treats us as soft persimmons?"

Angry laughter, the Radiation Energy Giant Beast let out a low growl, feeling a nameless anger ignite in its chest.

Indeed, their rules are tricky, feared by other Fifth Stage, but in terms of damage or effect, they're actually quite ordinary.

Possibly belonging to the Body System, they might be like deep-space species, possessing extremely strong radiation resistance.

It's no surprise to seek them out.

What's more frustrating is, if that's the case, what should we do?

"There's nothing to be angry about; since they dare to challenge us from here, we'll join forces and kill them! In fact, I think this is an opportunity!"

"Star-Destroying Level weapons, powerful physiques, they came targeting us—doesn't that mean their team also has huge flaws? Killing them, our losses can still be compensated!"

"I just can't figure out which civilization would dare to send in a Star-Destroying Level weapon—such a cost, only those few civilizations possessing Sixth Stage could manage."

Dry swallowing saliva, envy, bewilderment.

Even the worst Star-Destroying Level weapon is worth at least 2000 points! Based on their analysis, the opponent's weapon is certainly not ordinary; its value will only increase exponentially!

A weapon possibly worth thousands or even tens of thousands of points, once lost, is an unbearable pain for Sixth Stage.

In their known intelligence, the Star-Destroying Level weapons currently appearing, even the suspected ones, total only three!

Heavenly God's Flaming Spear! Prayer Wielder's Summoning Scepter! Elemental Controller's Crown!

To be honest, why are these War Star Limits stronger than them? Isn't it just because they wield Star-Destroying Level weapons?

For a moment, everyone's thoughts diverged, all quickly considering how to respond.

"(Opportunity! If we could wipe out this team and seize the weapon—no, that wouldn't work either, Equipment doesn't drop; facing such a team, the risk is simply too great..)"

Thoughts varied; although the clansmen left in the first layer were killed, not being angry is fake. But reason tells them that even if the Proton Worm's analysis is correct, they'd better not clash with this team! After all, the opponent's displayed strength is already terrifying—who dares guarantee they won't die in battle?

Compared to the gains, the risk is simply too high!

This is probably also why they aren't afraid of our union!

Soon, seemingly guessing everyone's thoughts, the Proton Worm coldly snorted and bluntly spoke:

"Is escaping useful? They broke through from here, clearly to use us as a test! If we flee to other regions, where wouldn't we encounter those teams? Front and back are enemies—aren't you afraid they'd intentionally wear us down with this mindset? In my view, announcing only a Fourth Stage presence is just to scare us from joining forces! Let us keep guessing, doubting if something's wrong somewhere!"

"As for the gains, it's true: on the Star Radiant Battlefield, when participants die, Equipment doesn't drop, but we can force them to trade before death! Their corpses also have absolutely enormous value!"

"Get that weapon, and you and I can surge into the top hundred, even the top ten!"

It's fake to say they aren't tempted; given the high risk of the Star Radiant War, these elites hardly have any decent Equipment.

This also creates a gap of more than one tier between them and the participants of top-tier civilizations!

This is unfair, but that's reality.

Seek wealth in danger, hunters and hunted interchangeable—who will fell the deer remains unknown!

All thinking that if they had a chance to rise higher, their previously wavering hearts instantly steadied.

"Then let's unite fully! My defense is strongest; if that team charges, I can take the front to probe their details! But the final spoils, you want me to work out giving me fifty percent!"

"Fifty percent is too much! Thirty percent! I'm fast; my squad can handle interception, coordinating with distorted positioning, should be able to counter their teleportation ability."

You speak, I speak—compared to ordinary War Star Level performance, nearly everyone counts as their civilization's elite Fifth Stage; after just a dozen seconds, a detailed battle plan was formed. Especially after nearly all-around targeting that team in the intel, the fourteen teams present couldn't help but feel much more at ease, thinking the incoming foes, no matter how strong, held nothing to fear!

They're not just cannon fodder of the first layer! In terms of combat power, they're nearly three times stronger than a Fifth Stage of the first layer!

"Then, since that's the case, everyone, we.."

"Captain! An unknown sonic boom is rapidly approaching! The rule fluctuation seems to be Fourth Stage!"

Just as the Insect People were about to lead everyone in a preemptive ambush, the perimeter guard Fifth Stage member suddenly shouted.

Almost no reminder needed; upon sensing the distant, unhidden rule fluctuation, hundreds of War Star Peak pupils contracted instantly, instantly mobilizing their own rules.

Here they come!?

However, unlike others' reactions, the Insect People's mouth opened, and they immediately raised a hand to signal them not to panic.

"Have you forgotten my earlier prediction!? It can't be a Fourth Stage! Even if it were, it couldn't be such a big fuss! Without surprise, it should be a squad's God Ascendant being chased, fleeing in panic..."

Before the Insect People could firmly uphold their judgment, the next second a black figure appeared, as overbearing as possible, directly above their heads!

For some reason, though the opponent was just one person, standing beneath the metal giant pillar, they felt like a mouse hiding under jungle leaves, stared down by a beast!

"Ready?"

The voice fell, the Insect People Captain's heart shook violently; the next second, a white sword shadow expanded infinitely in his eyes!

A pain in the brow, facing Lin An's terrifying speed over four hundred times the speed of sound, the Insect People blankly opened their mouth; their ferocious insect head, like a skewered locust, was cleaved by a single sword.

Only at the very last instant before total darkness did he realize what had happened.

I..

Dead!?

"Attack!!"

Nothing compares to the impact of instantly killing a War Star Peak.

Watching the strongest mutant Insect People in the team be instantly killed, the remaining Fifth Stage members' livers and gallbladders felt about to burst; they had no time to be shocked, only instinctively attacking Lin An.

But it was all meaningless.

Two seconds later.

Accompanied by an ancient bell chime, a massacre began.

Sixteen seconds later.

Lei Meng stared blankly at everything before him.

Only seen within this metal giant pillar, it was like a Yu Zong Shi Qi ritual, with corpses hanging upon it.

Drip drip, green blood slid from the pillar, gathering into a stream.

And Lin An stood at the highest point.

"Bring it, continue."

Lin An spoke calmly, gesturing for Lei Meng to continue dragging these corpses. In the next second, he disappeared from the spot.

Lei Meng stared blankly at the spot where Lin An had disappeared, suddenly feeling that his previous words seemed somewhat ridiculous.

His pace was even slower than Lin An's killing speed.

He instinctively glanced back at the corpse mountain behind him that seemed woven into a robe, and for some reason, he dared not imagine that final scene.

The stars were crowned.

The corpse sea turned into a robe.
