Chapter 545: The Zerg are exterminated! (Seeking monthly votes)

One hour later, the 56 geniuses had basically all reached their limits.

Each of them stopped on different floors of the Star Fire Tower.

What followed was the slow tempering of martial arts, persisting for longer durations, and pushing for higher rankings.

Because according to the rules of the Star Fire Tower, the rewards obtained for passing each floor would gradually become more generous; it was a qualitative improvement.

And the higher the ranking, the more the rewards would increase; it was a quantitative improvement.

Therefore, everyone not only had to temper their skills but also needed to improve their rankings.

06 Virtual Room, Star Fire Virtual World

Star Fire Tower, Fourth Floor

"Swish, swish!!"

In the air, ten silver flying knives, like dancing butterflies, shot toward Lin Qi, who was clad in black-gold combat armor, from different ranges.

"Clang, clang, clang!!"

In an instant, the silver flying knives were suppressed by the domain, their penetrating power plummeting.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"Clang, clang!!"

Lin Qi's body transformed into a nimble black-gold lightning bolt, continuously dodging three flying knives and swinging his black-gold great spear to deflect five others.

The final two silver flying knives, like streaks of light, pierced through his Golden Emperor Gangjin and black-gold combat armor, carving out cracks.

Lin Qi's vision and footwork were like nimble lightning, leaving behind afterimages while simultaneously dodging the ten flying knives and the attacks of four warriors.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, golden light erupted from Lin Qi's eyes, and his speed exploded by a large margin.

He swung his black-gold great spear to clash head-on with the axe-wielder, who was blasted away once more.

Lin Qi stomped his foot on the ground and shot forward, swinging his great spear.

"Mountain and River Spear Art" — Flowing Water Thrust!

"Pfft~"

The sharp spear tip precisely pierced the giant axe-wielder's neck in an instant; fresh blood sprayed wildly, and the opponent turned into nothingness and dissipated.

At the same time, he sensed danger coming from behind; he rotated his body and spun his great spear.

"Clang, clang!!"

The great spear deflected two flying knives, but there was still a flying knife that emitted a sonic boom, instantly piercing Lin Qi's neck, and blood sprayed out.

He himself also turned into nothingness and dissipated.

【Lin Qi, it is a pity, you have died. Time taken for this trial: 1 minute 30 seconds!】

【Name: Lin Qi (Blue Star Civilization)】

【Realm: Blood Exchange Realm】

【Star Fire Tower Floor: 3】

【Blue Star Ranking: 4 → 1】

【Overall Ranking: 100 → 36】

Lin Qi exhaled, and upon seeing that he was ranked first here, he revealed a smile.

His overall ranking had also improved to 36th, meaning there were still 35 people who had persisted longer than him.

"To kill five enemies, I must use strategy!"

"I must solve the psychokinetic master first; his ten flying knives are too much of a threat!"

"As long as I solve him, the fourth-floor trial will be half complete."

After reviewing, Lin Qi thought to himself.

He looked at the panel again.

【You fought against a strong enemy, and you have gained a deeper understanding of the movement technique "Thunder Extreme Nine Flashes." Movement Technique +1%】

【Movement Technique: Fourth Stage 93% → Fourth Stage 94%】

Lin Qi nodded secretly; to pass the fourth floor, movement technique was also a very important link.

If his movement technique could also break through to the fifth stage, his dodging ability would become stronger, which would help in killing the psychokinetic master.

Therefore, he still had a long way to go.

"Come again!"

Thinking of this, Lin Qi continued the trial.

And the Star Fire watching from afar could not help but be secretly shocked:

"This Lin Qi's speed of progress is so fast!"

"In two hours, he successfully surpassed Augustus and became the number one in the Blue Star Civilization."

"Such a genius, when necessary, I can lend him a helping hand."

"After all, the foundation of their civilization has held them back. If they were geniuses of the Star Fire Civilization,"

"Perhaps they would already be famous throughout the entire galaxy!"

Thinking of this, Star Fire also revealed a trace of a sorrowful expression.

In the No. 9 ruins of the other world, all the geniuses began to enter the trial.

Outside the Star Peak X-5 spaceship, the groups stationed by various countries continued their excavation work diligently every day.

On Blue Star, the Ninth Realm martial artists of various countries were also working intensively.

Cang Province, Tianhai City, in the forest on the outskirts.

"Boom!!"

A bright red Falcon-class fighter jet tore through the sky and hovered above the forest.

On the surface of the fuselage, a huge, cold cannon muzzle was released, aimed at a small hillside, and fired with a boom; electricity surged, and the air flashed for an instant.

"Bang!!"

A blue beam of light blasted out, shooting through the earth and exploding.

A huge crater appeared in the earth, and the surrounding trees were instantly cut in half.

"Buzz, buzz!"

The cabin door opened, and two figures floated in the air; they wore combat armor, held weapons, and emitted terrifying auras.

"Swish, swish!!"

The next instant, several figures suddenly rushed out from the earth that had been pierced by the laser cannon.

Their skin colors were different, and some even only had the outline of a human.

"It really is the base of the 【Insect God Society】!"

"Do it!"

In the sky, the Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang, wearing silver armor, spoke slowly.

He and the Ninth Realm martial artist beside him attacked simultaneously, swinging their weapons, and a cold ice sword aura instantly condensed.

"Swish, swish!!"

"Pfft, pfft!!"

Dozens of sword auras shot out, precisely piercing the bodies of the 【Insect God Society】 members.

They were instantly cut off, and they died with blood splattering.

Even the Level 7 and Level 8 Zerg warriors could not withstand the attack of several sword auras and were instantly cut down.

"Pfft, pfft~~"

In a short moment, the temperature in the air dropped, ice crystals appeared on the earth, and more than a dozen Zerg warriors were killed!

The Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang rushed into the earth like a fierce wind.

"Bang, bang!"

Accompanied by a series of explosions, a moment later the Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang rushed out, and a screen was projected in front of him, with Yue Feng's face appearing on the opposite side.

"Pavilion Master Yue, the rest is up to you!"

Yue Feng on the other side said with a serious expression:

"The rest will be left to our three major martial arts halls in Tianhai; I guarantee there will be no omissions."

"It's a pity I didn't come to the scene to kill the Zerg!"

The Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang laughed: "This is to ensure the efficiency of the cleanup!"

After hanging up the phone, he said to his companion beside him:

"Let's go, head to Bai Lu City, and strive to clean up Cang Province within today."

"Tomorrow we will head to the neighboring Yue Province!"

The two entered the fighter jet, and the cabin door closed.

"Boom!"

The Falcon fighter jet started, rushed into the clouds, and headed to the next city.

A moment later

"Boom, boom!!"

Several fighter jets drove over from the sky and slowly stopped in place.

In a Peregrine-class fighter jet, Yue Feng, wearing blue combat armor, jumped down from the jet.

"Bang!"

Like a cannonball smashing into the earth, accompanied by a loud noise, thick dust was formed.

Yue Feng looked at the messy scene, where several Zerg warriors were decapitated.

He sighed and said:

"Who would have thought that after cleaning it several times, there would still be so many 【Insect God Society】 members, and there are even Level 7 and Level 8 Zerg warriors!"

"If they appeared in the city, the damage caused would be immeasurable!"

Other martial artists also arrived one after another.

Yue Feng muttered to himself: "I heard that the kid Lin Qi killed several Level 8 Zerg warriors on the battlefield at the same time."

"It's truly heaven-defying; how long has it been?"

"I have to break through quickly too!"

"I have already exchanged for the Blood Spirit Potion and one liter of Level 10 disaster beast blood, enough for me to break through to the Eighth Realm!"

Over the next three days, the entire Blue Star launched a massive campaign to clean up the Zerg.

The Ninth Realm title-level martial artists of various countries took action personally, and the local martial arts halls and the government cooperated, demanding the highest efficiency in clearing the Zerg.

Countless 【Insect God Society】 members were killed, along with a large number of Zerg warriors.

Countless Zerg bases were destroyed, as if a rolling trend was pushing forward!

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In the other world, outside the Firmament Base, deep in the wilderness!

"Roar~"

The sky was filled with towering giant trees, and the air was filled with fresh air; every breath contained a large amount of source energy.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the roars of disaster beasts.

"Boom, boom!"

In the cloudless clear sky, several flying saucer-shaped fighter jets of different colors tore through the sky and hovered in the sky.

"Boom, boom!!"

There were more and more fighter jets, and in the end, there were more than twenty, and they spread out!

"Buzz, buzz!!"

The Falcon fighter jet cabin door opened, and dozens of figures flew out from it.

They wore various different combat armors, and their bodies emitted terrifying auras, as if they could destroy the world.

They were all Ninth Realm martial artists from various countries, walking natural disasters, human-shaped nuclear bombs.

The atmosphere in the air began to become heavy.

"Hoo!!"

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang, in silver armor, floated in the air, swinging the metal great spear in his hand.

Beside him was the domineering Purple Armor Overlord, and the Sword Emperor, whose blue armor was as wide as the sea and who held a heavy sword in one hand.

There was also the Green Immortal, wearing green armor and surrounded by 10 silver flying knives.

The Sword Emperor looked at the mountains in the distance and said:

"Who would have thought that this is the Zerg's lair!"

"The other world is too big; it's too difficult to find their lair."

The burly and tall Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang also spoke:

"The Zerg race is too terrifying!"

"Within three days, we killed more than 100,000 members of their 【Insect God Society】, and there were also 500 Zerg warriors!"

"The total number of Zerg warriors on the entire Blue Star has reached a staggering 1,200!"

"This is a terrifying number!"

"To think that just by relying on one Zerg Mother Emperor, so many Zerg warriors could be born!"

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang's words made everyone nod!

If it weren't for this Zerg cleanup, they wouldn't have known that the number of Zerg warriors had reached such a terrifying level.

If they were allowed to develop, there would only be more and more Zerg warriors.

Humans would simply be unable to fight against the Zerg, and that would be the time of human extinction.

Just at this moment, a burst of scorching aura surged out.

A tall figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The person wore red combat armor, and golden patterns flowed on the armor, as if it had come alive.

Invisible pressure shrouded the surroundings, and the figure was tall, like a character from a myth descending.

"Red Emperor!"

Seeing the Red Emperor come out, the martial artists of the Xia Guo gathered around.

With his appearance, everyone had a backbone; the Red Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, and his eyes were like two burning suns.

He stared at a mountain not far away, where there was an unremarkable, pitch-black cave entrance in the dense green forest.

"Little He!"

"We have you, the leader of the 【Insect God Society】, to thank, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to find the Zerg lair at all!"

Beside the Red Emperor stood a middle-aged man with a sharp temperament, a cold face, and black combat armor.

He revealed a smile and said: "This is what I should do!"

"It's just a pity for the geniuses who sacrificed themselves over the years!"

After hearing this, the Red Emperor stretched out his hand and said with a resonant voice:

"From now on, the Zerg will become history!"

"Do it!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded, and more than twenty Falcon fighter jets started, opened their laser cannons aimed at the mountain, and fired suddenly!

"Boom!!"

The laser blasted into the mountain, instantly shattering it; the mountains collapsed, the earth shook.

The mountain, which was dozens of meters high, was instantly leveled to the ground under the bombardment of the laser cannons!

"Humans!!"

A shrill roar erupted from the rubble!

"Boom!!"

The earth shook, something broke through the ground, and the things under the ground appeared in everyone's sight.

That was a Zerg nest hidden deep in the earth.

"Kill them all!"

A majestic female voice came from the Zerg nest.

The next instant, countless figures rushed out.

Those were Zerg warriors who were burly and tall, emitting powerful auras.

Gold, green, black, red...

Their skin colors were different, covered with hard shells like combat armor, releasing different abilities.

Their bodies emitted an aura of slaughter, and each one corresponded to a Ninth Realm martial artist of the human race!

They were all Level 9 disaster beasts of the Zerg race!

Wings grew on their backs, and they rushed into the sky, launching a suicide attack.

Dozens of Zerg warriors rushed out one after another!

"Swish, swish!!"

Seeing this, the Red Emperor waved his hand suddenly, his voice like a bell:

"Kill!"

In an instant, dozens of Ninth Realm martial artists of Blue Star all took action!

"Kill!!"

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and all the Ninth Realm martial artists found their opponents!

"Screech!!"

The air was torn apart, erupting with bursts of sonic booms.

On the Xia Guo side, the Purple Armor Overlord, the Silver Armor Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang, the Sword Emperor, and the Green Immortal charged at the forefront, their Gangjin erupting!

"Die for me!!"

The Purple Armor Overlord was wrapped in lightning, a purple spear aura condensed, and he stabbed at a green mantis commander!

"Pfft~"

In an instant, the lightning spear aura pierced the Level 9 commander, killing it in one move!

Not just him, the Black Armor War God of the White Eagle Federation, the Ice Emperor of the Bear Nation, and the Ganges Venerable of the India Nation.

These three could also easily kill Level 9 Zerg commanders in seconds.

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang also found a Level 9 Zerg commander, swung his great spear, erupted with full force, and clashed with it.

He smashed it into the earth.

"Sure enough, there is still a big gap between me and the top-tier existence!"

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang looked at the Purple Armor Overlord!

The Level 9 Zerg commander couldn't even take one move in front of him!

While he himself needed to spend some effort to kill the opponent!

"Boom, boom!!"

"Bang, bang!!"

The surrounding space had already become a mess, with energy collisions everywhere.

Zerg warriors kept rushing out, and the surrounding sky and forest had now turned into a battlefield.

"Boom!!"

And the Red Emperor, red patterns appeared on his skin, terrifying high temperatures erupted, and scorching flames surrounded him.

He himself flew into the Zerg nest alone.

This was a huge Zerg nest buried in the earth; what met the eye was a pile of gray-white Zerg cocoons stacked in layers, irregular in shape.

The air was filled with a fishy stench.

"Bang, bang!!"

The scorching aura shrouded the entire Zerg nest, and two tall Zerg warriors with terrifying auras were cut off by the red combat blade.

The aura remaining in their bodies was even more powerful than that of a Level 9 commander.

The Red Emperor was like a fire god descending, swinging his combat blade with one hand, floating in mid-air, looking down at the Zerg Mother Emperor in front of him.

The Zerg Mother Emperor kept the characteristics of a human female in her upper body, and it could even be said that she was very perfect, with exquisite features and bulging breasts.

Her body emitted a charming temperament, making people unable to help but be attracted.

Her lower body was fused into a huge egg-laying sac, like a small mountain, inlaid with dense Zerg eggs.

The Zerg eggs were bulging, and they still contained an astonishing aura of life.

The Red Emperor looked at the pale-faced, weak-aura Zerg Mother Emperor and said calmly:

"Mother Emperor Terra, you have indeed been in a state of serious injury all along!"

"Put away your clumsy illusions; they don't work on me!"

Mother Emperor Terra twisted her body, her eyes bloomed with light, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"If I hadn't been seriously injured all along, how could your Blue Star Civilization have developed."

"Decades ago, I should have killed you at all costs."

"Blue Star is indeed unusual; there is indeed a problem in your genes. It seems the Holy Blood is indeed on Blue Star!"

"To think that a genius like you was born!"

"My most elite Level 10 warriors are actually no match for you at all!"

"Your talent, even if placed in the entire galaxy, is the most dazzling existence."

"It's a pity, I won't let your Blue Star Civilization grow."

The Mother Emperor's expression gradually became crazy and said:

"I have already sent the information to the Zerg!"

"In the near future, the Zerg army will arrive, and you are just a martial artist of the Universe First Realm!"

"Placed in the hearts of all races in the universe, you are also a tiny grain of sand!"

"We Zerg will dig out the secrets of your Blue Star Civilization..."

The Red Emperor frowned and said coldly:

"Is this your last word?"

"You can go die!"

As soon as the voice fell, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and the scorching domain quickly shrouded the entire Zerg nest!

The Red Emperor raised the combat blade in his hand and swung a fatal blow!

It was like the sun descending!

"Boom!!!!"

A moment later, all the Ninth Realm martial artists fighting in the forest heard the terrifying explosion.

A huge mushroom cloud rose, and the surrounding air waves spread out like waves!

A Level 18 super storm was set off in the surroundings!

Fallen leaves and rubble were swept away and mixed with the flames condensed by the explosion.

"Boom!!"

A moment later, on the messy earth, a figure rushed into the sky!

It was the Red Emperor!

He was unscathed!

Seeing this, all the Ninth Realm martial artists also breathed a sigh of relief!

Then they continued to hunt Zerg warriors.

The entire battle did not last long, and soon all the Zerg warriors were killed!

The Red Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the messy battlefield, where there were Zerg warrior corpses everywhere.

And those who came to fight were all Ninth Realm martial artists, and currently, not one person had sacrificed themselves.

The Red Emperor looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Old Huo, have people come to clean up the battlefield!"

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang nodded and said: "Good!"

Other Ninth Realm martial artists, some rushed directly into the broken nest, wanting to find spoils of war.

The martial artists of the Xia Guo also rushed in!

And the Red Emperor did not move, but looked at the sky, fell into deep thought, and thought to himself:

"I have now initially entered the universe virtual network, and the location of Blue Star has been detected!"

"The current Blue Star is still too weak!"

"I must become stronger before the Zerg find Blue Star!"

"However, our Blue Star will also need to face new crises next!"

"If we can't pass, Blue Star will have no future!"

The Red Emperor knew that when a new civilization enters the universe, what it welcomes may not be friends, but a group of greedy jackals.
