Chapter 1896: Theatrical Robe Covers the Sky

Theatrical Robe Covers the Sky

On the shattered land of the Gray World.

Amidst a fit of violent coughing, Lu Xun sat up in a sorry state...

"Are we... back on Earth?" Under extreme overdraft, Lu Xun's head ached like it was splitting. After looking around, he looked at that familiar figure sitting blankly beside him.

Chu Changqing's face was pale at this moment. Like a statue, he stared motionlessly at the sky overhead. Veins bulged on the back of his tightly clenched hands.

Lu Xun doubtfully looked up.

The shattered scarlet fragments gathered on the gray firmament. A bizarre star crazily biting at civilization was accelerating bit by bit in the void, continuing to crash towards Earth!

With the movement of the Red Star, the void around it violently churned like a vortex. In the unseen world, some existence was gradually being swallowed. Those towering human buildings far on the horizon actually began to totter!

Hiss hiss...

The dust wailed, the seawater rolled backwards. Human civilization was like being crazily bitten by an invisible giant beast. Electricity disappeared, trains stopped, and even the clocks on the Clock Towers froze at this instant.

The boundary between worlds seemed to have been burned with a large hole by the Red Star. The Gray World where Lu Xun and the others were located was even being annihilated into nothingness at an astonishing speed!

When the Gray World completely disappeared, Earth would also be pierced by the Red Star and cease to exist.

"Old Lu..." Chu Changqing stared fixedly at that Red Star and spoke hoarsely,

"That thing is not some celestial body at all..."

"That's an out-and-out monster disguised as a celestial body!"

...

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty!!!"

A figure rushed into the Imperial Palace hall in terror.

"The Red... the Red Star has resurrected again! It's going to fall down!!!"

This Rank 8 guard was like a panicked Ordinary Person at this moment. With a thud, he failed to stand firm and knelt on the ground. Pointing at the scarlet sky outside the door, he tried to describe the scene outside, but was somewhat incoherent.

Under the Red Star, all living beings were ants. Rank 7, Rank 8, or even Demigods, were no different from Ordinary People.

But before his voice fell, his whole person froze in place.

He saw that white-haired, aging Emperor in the human world already had one hand resting on the hilt of the Imperial Sword slanted in the ground. He stepped forward slowly and gently exerted force...

Clang——!

A crisp sword hum echoed within the Imperial Palace.

His Emperor's Robe dancing in the wind, Ying Fu held the sword with one hand, stepped over the hall threshold, and calmly walked towards the continuously enlarging scarlet star in the sky.

"Pass down my decree. If I do not return from this trip..."

"The Duke of Chill will succeed the throne of Chengtian."

...

Inside a certain dim tavern.

A figure gently shook the glass. The ice ball collided with the glass wall, making a soft sound. He tilted his head slightly and downed the liquor in one gulp.

Thump.

He slammed the glass heavily on the table.

"King..." Mo Lian behind the counter swallowed nervously.

"I said long ago, those people are completely unreliable." That figure draped in a British Overcoat slowly stood up and picked up a black Fedora with one hand, "Rather than counting on them, it's better to find me from the start..."

He turned and walked towards the tavern door.

"Wait!"

"King, you can't go!"

Chi Tong and Lan Yu blocked in front of Li Leider at the same time and spoke nervously.

"That Red Star can affect the Divine Pathways. Even if it's a Demigod, going up is sending themselves to death..."

"Exactly. Hasn't that Chen Ling not made a move yet? Just let him go solve the Red Star, wouldn't that be fine? Why should we Fire-Stealers get involved??"

Chi Tong and Lan Yu only felt a blur before their eyes. The figure in the British Overcoat disappeared like a phantom and directly appeared behind them.

Creak——

The tavern door was slowly pushed open,

The fierce wind swept through the street. Under the scarlet sky, a figure calmly lowered his head and put the black Fedora on his head.

He looked back at the people in the tavern. A touch of aloofness and disdain flashed in his deep blue pupils:

"I am... not the same as those trashes."

A touch of Red Star Aspiration Power flashed in his pupils. His figure swayed and disappeared without a trace.

...

Lu Xun looked at that bizarre celestial body beating like a heart, his brows furrowed tightly.

He supported his body with both hands and staggered to stand up.

"Old Lu, what are you doing??" Seeing this, Chu Changqing immediately supported him.

"The Red Star only recovered the 30% that was shattered. The ignited energy didn't recover... That means our train of thought was correct!" Lu Xun spoke in a deep voice, "But the most important thing now is to find a way to expel the Red Star first... If it gets any closer, everyone will die."

"But how are you going to expel it?"

"It has already been weakened too much now. As long as a star with a mass similar to it appears and knocks it away at an appropriate speed and angle, everything can still be turned around... And the only one who can do this, is me."

A touch of resolution flashed in Lu Xun's eyes.

Chu Changqing stared blankly at him. A moment later, his gaze also gradually calmed down.

He didn't say much, just calmly pressed a hand on Lu Xun's back. Lu Xun only felt a pain in his back heart. Something drilled into his body. Immediately after, a burst of pure life force began to surge out continuously from within.

"Old Chu???"

"You have already overdrawn too much. Only by making up the deficit first will you have a chance to knock it away..." Chu Changqing's face was pale as paper. His whole person seemed to have aged a lot in the blink of an eye,

"Go..."

"I am with you."

Lu Xun looked at the haggard Chu Changqing, his gaze incomparably complex.

But he didn't say much. Everyone had walked from the Great Cataclysm era until now. They had absolute tacit understanding with each other... He just patted Chu Changqing's shoulder, and his figure turned into a stream of starlight, rapidly rushing towards the sky.

The sky rapidly retreated beside Lu Xun. Under the brilliant starlight, that scarlet star gradually accelerating its fall to Earth was getting closer and closer to him.

At the same time,

An afterimage sweeping with majestic Emperor's prestige, holding the Imperial Sword, shot into the sky from another direction on the earth;

A figure draped in a British Overcoat appeared phantom-like in the sky above, slowly taking off his black Fedora...

Three auras standing at the peak of the world erupted at the same time at this moment. And their target was only one... that was that bizarre Red Star hanging high above all living beings.

Just as they were about to approach the Red Star, a World-Ending Oppressive Aura capable of crushing everything suddenly descended from the sky!!

Thump——————!!!!

In an instant,

Ying Fu, Li Leider, and Lu Xun all only felt an invisible giant hand press down from the firmament, forcibly pinning their bodies in mid-air!

Between the Red Star and the three people, a touch of scarlet blotting out the sky and sun rapidly spread, like a soul-stirring Great Crimson Theatrical Robe silently streaking across the sky... A figure was outlined from the Theatrical Robe.
