Chapter 225: Destroyer
The Destroyer's war axe had not yet arrived, but the violent aura mixed with blood and annihilation already surged toward him!
Dark red energy flowed along the axe blade, and wherever it passed, even space slightly twisted, obviously containing terrifying destructive power.
Li Qingxuan's eyes narrowed; he dared not be careless.
This Destroyer's strength had definitely reached A-level Peak, possibly even touching the threshold of S-level!
He pushed off with his feet, advancing instead of retreating; his spear struck like a venomous dragon emerging from its hole, precisely aiming at the axe's side, trying to overcome force with skill.
"Clang—!"
The spear and axe clashed, erupting in a deafening metallic ring!
A tremendous force traveled up the spear shaft; Li Qingxuan's arm went slightly numb, and he used the momentum to float back several meters, dissipating the force.
The Destroyer merely swayed, a flash of surprise crossing his scarlet eyes, as if he hadn't expected this "small fry" to block his axe.
"Roar!" The Destroyer roared again, swinging his war axe like a windmill, leaving trails of afterimages, and launched a storm-like assault on Li Qingxuan.
Its strength was immense, its speed not slow either; each axe strike was heavy and powerful enough to cleave a small star cruiser.
Li Qingxuan pushed his movement technique to the limit, weaving through the dense axe shadows; his spear sometimes struck like a spirit snake emerging from its hole, aiming at the Destroyer's vital joints, and sometimes came down like Mount Tai, hard‑blocking the heavy blows.
A faint grayish glow flowed over the spear tip—that was the power of the Weird Divine Realm condensed into a point, greatly enhancing the attack's penetration and defense.
Yet the Destroyer's defense was monstrous; his bone armor was extraordinarily hard, and Li Qingxuan's spear tip could only leave faint white marks on it, making effective damage difficult.
Moreover, it seemed to feel no pain, and its attacks grew ever more frenzied.
Meanwhile, five Star Dust Guards were locked in fierce combat with several Realm Breaker Legion ordinary soldiers who had rushed to the scene—gray‑skinned cybernetics wielding energy weapons.
The Star Dust Guards cooperated seamlessly; the Dwarf's heavy shield held the front, while elven arrows and human combat techniques fired from the flanks, temporarily holding off the enemy.
But the warehouse's alarm wailed shrilly, and more enemies were rushing in!
Time is pressing!
We must settle this quickly!
Li Qingxuan's thoughts raced; after another clash with the Destroyer, he used the recoil to leap back, simultaneously pouring his spiritual power into the Life Imprint crystal on his chest.
In an instant, emerald light burst forth from him!
A rich yet gentle life aura, carrying an inviolable majesty, spread out!
【Life Praise·Domain Prototype】!
This is the ability Li Qingxuan initially grasped after fusing the Life Imprint with his own divine domain!
Although its range is far less than that of the Weird Divine Realm, within this limited space its effect is extremely pronounced!
Under the emerald light, the massive tumor device that siphoned life energy emitted a "hiss‑hiss" sound, its pulsing dark‑green glow visibly dimming and becoming chaotic.
Meanwhile, the beings imprisoned in the life‑support cabins seemed to regain a faint spark in their dulled eyes.
The Destroyer, bearing the brunt, let out a painful, angry roar!
The Destroyer's annihilation energy, bathed in the life light, melted away like snow under the sun!
Bluish smoke rose from its gray‑green skin, and its movements grew sluggish and stiff, as if bearing a tremendous weight.
Life and annihilation are naturally mutually destructive!
"Now!"
Li Qingxuan's eyes flashed with sharp light; seizing the moment the Destroyer was suppressed, he also fused the Weird Divine Realm's Fear Aura and Spatial Shackles into this life domain!
The Destroyer instantly fell under threefold suppression!
The life domain's purification and weakening, the Fear Aura's spiritual shock, and the Spatial Shackles' movement restriction!
Its massive body shuddered violently; for the first time, fear appeared in its scarlet eyes, and swinging the war axe became exceedingly difficult.
"Break!"
Li Qingxuan shouted, channeling his full bodily strength and the power of both domains into his spear!
The spear turned into a gray‑green streak that tore through space, moving at extreme speed, piercing precisely into the Destroyer's slightly open mouth—unprotected by bone armor—as he roared.
"Pfft—!"
The spear tip pierced out from the back of its head; the Destroyer's massive body jerked rigidly, the red light in his eyes quickly faded, and his annihilation energy dissipated like a breached dam.
It swayed, then collapsed like a toppled mountain, sending dust flying everywhere.
Having dealt with the strongest Destroyer, Li Qingxuan didn't pause, sweeping his spear horizontally to kill the remaining few stubbornly resisting cybernetic soldiers.
"Quick! Plant the explosives, prepare to withdraw!" Li Qingxuan ordered the Star Dust Guards, while he himself rushed toward the huge tumor device.
He could feel that this device was the core of the base's energy conversion and had to be destroyed!
He placed his hand on the tumor device, activating the Life Imprint's power, and emerald life energy surged into it like a flood!
"Sizzle—!"
The tumor device violently trembled and contracted; its dark‑green surface faded at visible speed, and finally, with a muffled blast, it completely withered, shattered, and turned to ash.
Almost simultaneously, two loud explosions came from outside the warehouse!
Huang Rong and Yan Xin also succeeded!
"Mission accomplished! Everyone, withdraw immediately!" Li Qingxuan roared over the communicator.
The group quickly regrouped and retreated along the original route to the landing craft.
The scattered resistance encountered along the way was no match for the well‑coordinated squad.
When they rushed out of the space station and returned to the assault ship, they could see the entire logistics base engulfed in flames and explosions, its core area basically destroyed.
"Withdraw!"
The assault ship's engines went full throttle; like a startled fish, it swiftly broke free of the battlefield, rendezvoused with the Shadow Warship providing external support, then without hesitation activated a space jump and vanished into the vast Star Sea.
The "Broken Blade" operation was a success!
However, on the return journey, Li Qingxuan watched the stars streak past the viewport, his brow slightly furrowed.
At the moment he destroyed the tumor device, he clearly sensed an extremely faint yet malicious will attempting to erode him backward along the energy link; although the Life Imprint timely blocked it, that fleeting glimpse of icy evil left him with lingering dread.
That seems... not only the will of the False Emperor, but also mixed with something even older, more mad... ravings?
