"Blue Star people!"
Kuromi directly used her light-brain to translate into Hanxia language. Her deep voice rolled across the entire Hongning Base City:"From this moment on, this planet belongs to our Nuolanshan Family, and all of you are slaves of the Nuolanshan Family!"
Her vast, surging voice almost reached every corner of Hongning Base City. Countless ordinary people raised their heads in shock, staring blankly at the sky.
Immediately—
The laser cannons encircling the satellite city swung into position, their cold, merciless barrels locking onto the two cosmic powerhouses in the sky.
"Damn!"
"You mother****er, who the hell do you think you are!"
Lei Shen's eyes bulged, and after cursing straight from the gut, his figure flickered—without another word, he charged!
"Kill!"
Hong didn't hesitate. His silver spear erupted into existence, transforming into streaks of dark, tearing black light as he shot forward.
High above Hongning Base City.
Seeing the two natives rushing at them, Alika and Kuromi exchanged a glance, and both couldn't help showing a cold smirk.
Although their intel was wrong, planet-level rank 9 wasn't worth putting in their eyes anyway.
Alika's figure flickered, and the halberd-like weapon in her hands flashed out like lightning toward Lei Shen.
A loud boom rang. Alika felt an overwhelming force surge from that bizarre curved blade—so fierce it nearly tore the halberd from her hands.
"What?!"
Her pupils shrank violently, her face filled with shock.
These people she thought were backward, weak natives—How could they possess such terrifying explosive power?
"Kuromi, help me!"
She shouted in the universal cosmic language. Kuromi's heart trembled sharply. Her entire body felt as if crushed under massive gravity. Facing the silver spear that lunged like lightning, she lifted her weapon and blocked with all her might.
Clang!
A harsh metallic ring exploded, and Kuromi was sent flying back hundreds of meters by Hong's brutal strike.
"Heavens!"
"He actually has a domain?!"
"And it's triple-layered?!"
Staring at Hong's body, covered in intertwining black-red light, Kuromi's face turned pale with shock.
A planet-level rank 9 with three domains could leap ranks to fight a star-level rank 1 or 2!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Explosions rang one after another. Alika and Kuromi quickly realized—Whether it was Lei Shen or Hong—their blade skills, spear techniques, footwork, and combat instincts were seamless, natural, and horrifying. Far beyond any planet-level rank 9 they had ever faced.
They had roamed the universe for thousands of years…
But had never seen natives this terrifying.
"So weak?"
Sensing Alika's level, Lei Shen let out a cold laugh.
Szzzt—A fierce burst of qi wrapped in thunder exploded from his blade—a lightning strike slashing out with terrifying speed!
Alika's pupils flew wide. As her figure blurred back, she found the thunder strike somehow sharpening and accelerating even further, slipping past her halberd—
With a merciless flash, her arm was severed on the spot, and her body from the waist down was shredded into bloody pulp by the raging thunder force!
But—
Whoosh!
Alika did not retreat.
She understood clearly: against someone whose blade moved like light, retreat meant certain death.
"DIE!!!"
Even with her lower body destroyed, she swung her halberd down with suicidal force toward Lei Shen.
"Shit!"
Lei Shen's pupils tightened. The halberd was already inches from his face—far too close to dodge!
"This is bad!"
In the distance, Luo Feng, Liu He, and the many council members felt their hearts clench.
If that blow landed, Lei Shen would be crippled—if not killed outright!
"—Hng."
At that instant between life and death, space itself trembled.A strange, indescribable power blanketed the skies above Hongning Base City. No matter how desperately Alika struggled, her halberd froze—less than one meter from Lei Shen's head—locked completely in space, unable to move at all.
"Terrifying…"
Everyone's eyes widened as a black-haired young man in a deep crimson battle suit appeared in the air, his appearance similar to a human, though his aura was entirely different.
"Made it just in time."
As space rippled faintly, another familiar voice sounded. A handsome youth in a white combat uniform, long black hair flowing, suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Your Highness!"
The crimson-clad youth immediately bent forward respectfully.
"It's Brother Jiang!"
Luo Feng clenched his fists in excitement, eyes shining. He hadn't seen his senior brother Jiang Li for almost a year.
Jiang Li looked almost the same as one year ago—but his aura had become far deeper, far more unfathomable.
"It really is the First Speaker! He's finally back!"
The three royal guards, Liu He, Zhu Xi, and all the council members stared with visible excitement.
That man in the white battle suit—He was Blue Star's pillar, the unshakable force holding up the sky!
As long as he was here—No storm, no threat could endanger humanity.
"Hahaha! You finally came back, kid!"
Lei Shen regained control of his body the moment Jiang Li arrived. He flashed over with a laugh."This brother of yours looks crazy strong. Don't tell me—he's a cosmic-level expert you met in space?"
"Could he be… universe-level?"
"He's not."
Jiang Li smiled at Lei Shen, then turned his gaze toward Alika and Kuromi.
Using the universal cosmic language, he said:
"Those who bully my people—die."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Apusika responded with deep reverence.
Before the words fully fell—
Before anyone could understand—
Alika (planet-level rank 9) and Kuromi (star-level rank 1) suddenly detonated.
Their bodies burst into blood mist—yet not a drop scattered.
In an instant, the mist was crushed and swallowed by space itself.
To their dying breath—they never imagined…
They were killed by an immortal-level existence.
"Hisss—"
Everyone—the council members, Lei Shen, Hong—all stared in horror, sucking in cold breaths.
Just a glance?
A glance killed a star-level instantly?
Even universe-level beings weren't this terrifying!
"He… he isn't a Domain Lord, right?"
Lei Shen's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Even Hong, normally calm and silent, wore a look of absolute shock.
Apusika's power…It was like myth.Words becoming law.
"Apusika is an immortal."
Jiang Li smiled faintly."We'll talk later. I need to deal with a small problem first."
With those words, Jiang Li and Apusika vanished—without trace.
Above Hongning Base City, silence reigned.No one spoke.Everyone stared blankly at the spot where Apusika had disappeared like a ghost.
"I—Immortal?"
Lei Shen could barely force out the words.
"This… this…"
What kind of level was "immortal"?
Not even the other council members had a clue.Even Lei Shen and Hong were completely numb.
They had struggled so hard just to approach star-level…
And Jiang Li went to space for a few months—and brought back an immortal?
Are you kidding?!
And judging from the immortal's respectful attitude, their relationship wasn't simply "friends".
"Our senior brother is absolutely insane…"
"Immortal!!"
Lei Shen counted on his fingers like a schoolkid doing math:"After star-level is universe-level…After universe-level is world lord…Above world lord is domain lord…Above domain lord is… oh god…"
"What exactly did Jiang Li do in the universe for a few months?"
