Chapter 1148: The one to be lifted together
Actually, from the moment the Grand Speaker betrayed him, Nan Mian felt that the Lord of the Starborn had become impatient.
This was actually a very strange emotion for them. They were the Starborn race and didn't have as many emotional fluctuations as humans. Only extreme emotions would exceed their threshold and be expressed, such as anger and fear.
Emotions like 'impatience' were hard to produce in them. The Starborn race was immortal and existed since ancient times; what was there to be impatient about?
But now, he felt impatience in the Lord of the Starborn, a posture of not caring about the future anymore.
Death-Mourning bodies were very difficult to cultivate. Only when a normal soul was placed inside could it exert its full strength and become a Death-Mourning Undead Soldier. But if a Fierce Spirit was placed inside, it was just a crazy Death-Mourning creature without wisdom, unable to grow, and very difficult to control.
Willing to waste a Death-Mourning body just to use a Fierce Spirit to increase its combat power, not caring if it couldn't grow—this kind of act of only caring about the present and ignoring the future confirmed the Lord of the Starborn's inner anxiety.
As for killing all living beings... they were originally raised to be slaughtered. The only difference was whether it was outside the circle or inside the circle. Originally, he wanted to slaughter the ones outside the circle first, but now that he couldn't slaughter the ones outside, he had to slaughter the ones inside.
Weren't humans the same? Launching wars to harvest enemy countries. If they couldn't harvest the enemy country, they would harvest their allies or underlings. But this kind of action meant that the time had come to disregard everything.
Carrying a trace of worry, Nan Mian descended toward one of the city clusters, hovering several kilometers high. At this height, he could see all the cities, and then he put his hands behind his back.
The powerful energy fluctuation that was slowly brewing finally alarmed the living beings on the ground. Some human powerhouses and noble elites flew up in astonishment, flying toward Nan Mian: "Star God, what are you doing?"
Nan Mian ignored them. They were about to harvest the crops; who had the time to care about what the crops were shouting? After accumulating enough power, he directly threw out a Nan Mian Strike.
Like a giant meteorite falling into the city, with a loud noise, firelight, explosion, and a mushroom cloud lifted into the air—the Nan Mian Strike, which had no effect in front of Ang, displayed its true power here. Half of the city was lifted away, revealing a large pit, just like being hit by a wave of forbidden spells.
Those human powerhouses who flew into the air looked at the explosion below in horror, then looked at Nan Mian, who had put his hands behind his back again, at a loss.
All living beings living in this world regarded the Star God as a deity; it was the Star God who created this world.
Because Bei Mian had his own world-destroying array, the Lord of the Starborn didn't come in much, and Nan Mian was even the representative of the Star God. Now, their god had raised a butcher knife toward them.
"Star... Star God, what are you doing? Why!" As the energy fluctuation of the second Nan Mian Strike became stronger and stronger, after a long silence, one of the humans issued a shrill question.
Nan Mian naturally ignored it. When you catch a chicken to slaughter, do you care how those chickens crow? Methodically, Nan Mian threw out the second strike, wiping out the remaining half of the city.
Then, he put his hands behind his back again.
"Ah ah ah!!!" The human who issued the question drew his long sword and rushed up like a madman. The two companions following behind rushed up without hesitation, but the remaining few looked at each other hesitantly and turned to run.
The powerhouses who could fly into the air were basically at the level of Great Mages or Sword Saints and above. Some even had the strength of Law Gods or Truth Sword Saints. But in front of the secondary origin that could wipe out half a city with a wave of a hand, the gap was huge.
Nan Mian didn't even stop the brewing of the Nan Mian Strike. He just waved his other hand, then moved left and right, easily avoiding the attack from the person at the front, who was at least a Truth Sword Saint, and then pierced the other party's throat with one hand. Even the protective battle qi couldn't block it in the slightest.
On the ground, a sturdy dwarf tree grew on a hilltop at some point. It could be said with certainty that there were no trees on this hilltop before; there wasn't even a trace of attachment on the bare mountain rocks.
But now, a tender green dwarf tree grew there abruptly. There were no other plants around; only it grew there alone.
Two tree knots grew on the tree body, just like two faces—one human face and one dragon face. They were watching the battle above, while their consciousnesses were communicating in the soul network.
Negris said in shock: "Is this Nan Mian so strong? That swordsman was at least a Truth Sword Saint. His battle qi could be materialized into armor, manifested outside the body, and he could step on battle qi to go to the sky. How did he die in just a few moves?"
"Isn't this normal? That Nan Mian is a secondary origin, only one level lower than the Abyss Big Mouth or the Dark Origin," Anthony said.
"But... but... I saw you guys fight him quite easily," Negris said, his voice getting weaker and weaker.
"What do you mean 'we'? It was Master who fought him easily. I only managed to hit him by borrowing Master's power. If it were just me, even if I were deified, I wouldn't be able to keep up with his movements. How could I fight?" Anthony hurriedly denied.
"Can't keep up with his movements? You are a Black Knight, his speed isn't fast either," Negris said in confusion.
Anthony was a bit speechless: "I just have better martial arts, but if the speed is slow, no martial arts are useful. You think his speed isn't fast because you are under Master's protection. He was afraid you wouldn't see clearly, so he enhanced your reaction speed. If you couldn't see the enemy clearly, you wouldn't be able to speak for him."
"He enhanced my reaction speed?" Negris asked in astonishment.
"Didn't you notice? You are at your fastest reaction when you are by Master's side. Enlightenment Aura?" Anthony asked.
"Pfft... I didn't notice, really?" Negris couldn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Anthony said very affirmatively: "Really, it seems you didn't notice, so this is not a gain in speed or time, but a gain in individual ability."
If it were a speed gain or time acceleration, it would be easy to discover that others had slowed down. Only an individual ability gain, such as suddenly becoming smarter, was hard to discover.
When you feel that this question is easy during an exam, do you think you suddenly became smarter?
So I have been under a gain enhancement all along, and it is very likely the Enlightenment Aura. No wonder I see the speed of those secondary origins so slowly...
Just as he wanted to say something, a girl wearing a tattered cloak ran up the hilltop barefoot.
She first looked at the dwarf tree in surprise, but then couldn't care less. She ran in front of the dwarf tree, pulled down her hood, revealing a dirty little face, and prayed quickly with her hands clasped in front of her chest: "Ancient, eternal, never-extinguished, brilliant, scorching Divine Star..."
Following her prayer, a surging divine power slowly gathered on her body, and peaceful divine light radiated from her.
"Eh? Such mellow divine power, a Saintess? Not good!" Anthony was just surprised by the girl's divine power, but then immediately realized it was bad, because Nan Mian in the sky had also discovered her, and she was standing right in front of the dwarf tree.
Nan Mian's gaze had locked onto this girl, and at the same time, he put his hands behind his back.
Negris wanted to vomit blood: "What to do? Ang wants to use this place as an anchor point. Nan Mian will lift this girl and us together." ===== CHAPTER 1149 =====
