Chapter 1302

Crack— crack—

The ice cellar shattered, the jade rabbit's corpse burst out, eyes red as it lunged at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang scratched his cheek, somewhat puzzled.

Mi Xue'er's condition is called bloodline resonance; if she can endure it, her soul power and bloodline power will greatly increase. He clearly felt just now that Mi Xue'er and the negative emotions were evenly matched.

Just based on Mi Xue'er being able to hard-resist the anti-gene serum, her bloodline awakening shows extremely strong willpower—she just needs to put in a little effort to pull through.

How did she suddenly turn dark for no reason?

He just happened to be protecting Lan Hai and Shi Ran, letting them avoid the pressure's influence—otherwise he did nothing at all.

This jade rabbit wasn't weak in life, having reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage, but being controlled by someone like Mi Xue'er with no cultivation foundation, the power it could exert was less than one ten-thousandth.

"You've been fighting this long—now it's my turn." Lu Yang volunteered to step forward; even with little strength left, it wasn't something Lan Hai and the others could control. Being hit by this jade rabbit, a hundred top-tier warriors piled together would still be punched through.

If this jade rabbit is allowed to run loose, the entire Star Alliance won't be able to do anything about it.

Facing the rampaging jade rabbit, Lu Yang grabbed its ears with one hand, letting it lunge back and forth with its legs.

Lan Hai and Shi Ran were completely dazed the whole time. They first saw the seemingly much-stronger Mi Xue'er slaughtering in all directions, then Mi Xue'er inexplicably collapsed, and from deep in the ice cellar sprang out a cute pet rabbit, easily handled by Brother Meng.

What kind of situation is this?

Especially Brother Meng, who looked smug, as if he'd done something amazing.

Seeing the jade rabbit, though grabbed by the ears, still not behaving and even wanting to bite Little Yangzi, the Immortal Fairy's expression turned grim as she let a wisp of consciousness drift out, warning the jade rabbit: "Behave, don't jump around recklessly."

Though just a simple verbal warning, the jade rabbit's desolate mental space triggered an earth tremor, awakening its instinctive reactions from life—uncontrollable trembling. Mi Xue'er, whose consciousness was seized by negative emotions, was shaken awake and returned to her original body.

"Fairy, your words are this effective?" Lu Yang startled—this could rival 'words become law.'

"Of course. Who am I, this fairy? Whether it's a living demon beast or a dead one, who isn't afraid of me?"

Lu Yang felt the reason the Immortal Fairy makes demon beasts fear her isn't something worth boasting about.

Thinking this, Lu Yang clasped his hands: "Your Majesty's might shakes the four seas and eight wildernesses; without a single soldier, using only culinary skills to make myriad demons submit—this is the act of a wise ruler."

As a subject, the most important thing is to learn to do two things at once—think while also speaking.

"What's wrong with me?" Mi Xue'er painfully clutched her head as she woke.

She felt like she'd turned into a rabbit, charging at Brother Meng, then just woke up frightened?

Lan Hai and Shi Ran hurried over to help her up, concerned about her injuries.

"Xue'er, are you alright?"

"I'm fine… actually, better than ever." Mi Xue'er had never felt this before—like breaking through human limits, she could easily overturn a tank, her body becoming invulnerable to blades and guns.

What's going on?

Suddenly the ground shook once, startling everyone.

Lu Yang lifted his head, raised an eyebrow, peered through the thick soil layer, and saw the sun above undergoing an anomaly.

Weren't they saying they were illegally mining the sun? What did you guys dig up?

"Brother Meng, the earthquake—be careful, hey, where's Brother Meng?"

……

"This mechanical arm of yours looks not bad—where'd you buy it?"

"Latest product from the Universe Technology Group—pretty good, huh?"

"Really good. When I get my salary, I'll buy a pair too."

"Come on, you think you can just buy it whenever you want? You gotta queue and draw lots."

On the sun's surface, in Sun City covered by mechanical structures, two engineers from the Murong Group leaned on the railing, chatting casually.

Though called Sun City, actually few people live there; operations mainly rely on the Murong Group's self-developed artificial intelligence.

The AI mining device automatically extracts solar energy and continuously transports it via space elevator to nearby planets; engineers here are just to prevent accidents.

Since the Murong Group won the bid and built Sun City here, on average only one minor fault occurs every thirty years, and no major accident has ever happened.

Suddenly alarms blared one after another, red warning lights illuminating the two engineers' ashen faces.

Each engineer injected himself with a calming shot, forcing himself to calm down—this frequency of alarm is the highest alert for Sun City's construction, indicating over thirty percent of indicators have exceeded limits.

They quickly pulled up monitoring data and found that fifty percent of data had surpassed the maximum, while other data were rapidly approaching the critical threshold!

Sixty percent…… seventy percent……

The current situation far exceeds what the Murong Group anticipated.

The two engineers glanced at each other—even after taking the calming shot, they couldn't calm down.

"Is the sun going to explode?!"

But how could that be? Examples of illegal stellar energy mining are common, accident rates under one percent, and no accident ever reached the level of a solar explosion!

The same situation occurring at various Sun Cities has thrown the Murong Group into chaos, and even the Murong family head can't stay seated.

Not a single word missed, not a line omitted, not a shot fired, not a detail contained, not a moment present—look closely!

The Star Society's warning is no exaggeration—the sun really is going to explode!

Once the sun explodes, the entire star system will be destroyed in an instant—no one will survive!

The countdown on the screen jumps rapidly—this is the AI's predicted solar explosion event.

When the numbers hit zero, the two engineers' faces turned ashen as death, but the predicted solar explosion did not occur.

"No, no… nothing happened?"

"How come it didn't explode?"

"Could it be a system malfunction?"

Just as the two were relieved to have survived, Sun City trembled, the sun's surface bubbled with gurgling sounds, and a crimson-gold feather shot out along the energy mining channel.

The feather was huge—longer than a whale.

A bird cry echoed through the universe, countless instrument panels shattered, even high-strength nanomaterials were useless.

Crimson-gold wings that blotted out the sky burst forth, with molten lava at ten thousand degrees flowing through the gaps in the feathers.

The two engineers finally got a clear look at the monster's appearance: a three-legged, entirely crimson-gold giant bird with hollow eyes.

The bird's beak held an ore never seen before.

So all those strange phenomena just now weren't a solar explosion, but this monster bird bursting out of the sun?!

What kind of monster is this, living inside the sun all this time?

Before they could even celebrate for long, they saw an extremely conspicuous crack appear on the sun's surface, ready to split open at any moment.

Just by being born, could this monster bird crack the sun?!

The giant bird flapped its wings, and the splashing lava was enough to destroy Sun City!

As the two fell into despair, a figure appeared, face indistinct, and with one punch smashed the giant bird back into the sun!

"Immortal, what's going on with this golden crow corpse? Why did it suddenly move when it was fine before?"

"It seems to be affected by that jade rabbit?"

The immortal pouted her lips, recalling this somewhat familiar golden crow, then suddenly understood.

"I remember now—this pair of golden crow and jade rabbit weren't they the ones used by Immortal Jiu Chong to study the Yin-Yang Dao, made to mate?"

"It's all because they look too alike, making it hard for me to tell them apart."

"Probably after Immortal Jiu Chong finished the research, she let them go, they moved here, and eventually died of old age."

"Then what about this pile of top-grade spirit stones in the golden crow's mouth—are they burial goods of the golden crow clan?"

"Maybe it's the research fee paid by Immortal Jiu Chong, unspent even at death, so she just buried it with herself."
