"Just one battle increased my Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique's cultivation experience by 5%?"

Above Autumn Leaf City.

Lu Yuan moved his mind slightly, brought up his virtual panel, and looked quite surprised.

The Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique - Beginner's Guide is a spirit-refining technique for those in the Core Formation stage.

Under normal circumstances, even Lu Yuan would need at least one or two years to complete all his cultivation experience.

However, this battle, which lasted only a dozen minutes from start to finish, directly increased his cultivation progress by 5%!
Such an unbelievable speed of improvement is simply defying the heavens.

Doesn't this mean.

He could easily accumulate all the cultivation experience in a short period of time through numerous battles.
As Lu Yuan thought this, he looked up at the other cities again and found that those ferocious and terrifying insectoid armies were clearly just experience points!

"kill!"

Lu Yuan soared into the sky, traversing the heavens, and instantly appeared in Xinghua City, a hundred miles away.

Compared to the poorly defended Qiuye City, Xinghua City, as a megacity with nearly 200 million people, obviously has more garrison troops and professionals.

However, the larger the city, the greater the number of Zerg troops it attracts.

It was visible above Xinghua City.

Hundreds of Zerg warships stretched across the sky, blotting out the sun and making it almost impossible to breathe.

Countless plasma shells and acid corrosive bombs rained down like a torrential downpour, nearly paralyzing the city's defense system.

Besides.

There are also hundreds or thousands of Tier 4 Zerg predators, who roam the city like ghosts, constantly ambushing and hunting down powerful professionals.

Faced with the endless swarm of insects, Xinghua City suffered heavy casualties and retreated steadily, and was on the verge of falling!
"Damn it! Where is the support from the governing council?"

"We can't hold out any longer; we must retreat immediately!"

Many professionals, seeing the Zerg army surging in from all directions, could no longer suppress their fear and immediately abandoned the battle lines, turning around and fleeing to the rear.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The Zerg army swept through, and nothing could stop them!
But that's it.

A golden light suddenly swept in from afar, like a sword rainbow that stretched across the sky and tore the night sky in two!
Followed by.

In the eyes of everyone's disbelief.

The golden light swept into the endless sea of ​​insects with overwhelming force.

"boom!"

A dazzling, blinding sword beam suddenly erupted from the center of the Zerg army.

The Zerg warships didn't even have time to react before they were sliced ​​in two by the sword beam.

Finally, it exploded with a bang, turning into dazzling fireworks that illuminated the dark night sky!

"hiss!"

All the mech pilots and professionals stared in disbelief at the dazzling golden rainbow in the sky.

It is important to know that the Zerg warships are the control nodes of the Zerg hive's will.

When all warships are sunk, the Hive Will's control over the Zerg warriors will also be greatly reduced.

The fighting strength and morale of the Zerg army will plummet, like a swarm of headless flies, and they will no longer be able to cause any trouble.

That's why.

Zerg warships are heavily fortified and are often firmly protected by swarms of Zerg, making it difficult for any creature to get close.

Destroying a single Zerg warship is no less difficult than wiping out an entire Zerg army.

But what did they just see?
A golden light came from the east, easily destroying all the Zerg warships and saving millions of ordinary people with its own power!
"The Zerg army was defeated just like that?"

A fourth-level martial artist stared in disbelief and stammered.

"Immortal cultivator!"

"This must be a cultivator from Shenmu Star!"

"We are finally saved!"

Many professionals wept with joy and shouted their approval.

One strike destroys a ship; one man becomes an army!
Among all professionals, perhaps only cultivators possess such incredible and terrifying combat power!
Many professionals looked up at the dazzling golden rainbow, their hearts filled with mixed emotions as they felt they had survived the ordeal.

The true path to invincibility lies in possessing immense power within one's own body.

But they don't know.

The gap between cultivators is even greater than the gap between mortals and cultivators.

Although it appears on the surface.

Lu Yuan destroyed the Zerg warship with ease and casualness, as if he didn't exert much effort at all.

But in fact.

His physical body, magical power, and divine soul have all reached perfection.

In addition to the cultivation experience he accumulated through many lifetimes of reincarnation, it is no exaggeration to call him an invincible golden elixir.

Therefore, it was only through a combination of factors that he was able to accomplish what can only be described as a miracle.

Otherwise, let alone a Core Formation cultivator of the same level, even a Nascent Soul expert might not be as easily invincible as Lu Yuan!
Everyone in Xinghua City was immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed.

Because he had just used his divine sense to scan all the remains of the Zerg warships, he immediately captured a large amount of information.

Peng Bao is utterly depraved; he actually colluded with the Dark Zerg to try to hatch a seventh-tier Zerg Queen on Hulao Star!
The Dark Zerg have a strict hierarchy.

However, within them, the Zerg Queen is second only to the Hive Will.

If the Hive Will belongs to higher-dimensional life, it is the supreme spiritual leader of all the Dark Zerg.

The Zerg Queen is the Dark Zerg, the war commander in the real world.

Any Zerg Queen is a terrifying being comparable to a True Immortal who has achieved Dao Integration.

Not only are they powerful in combat, but they can also breed an endless army of Zerg.

If they succeed, the entire Dragon Prison Galaxy, and even the entire Terra Empire, will likely face annihilation.

"So, the Zerg army that attacked Shenmu was just a decoy, and Hulao Star was their real target!"

"If they transform Hulao Star into a Zerg nest, they can use it as a base to gradually spread the Zerg army to other star systems!"

Lu Yuan frowned, finally understanding the true intentions of the Dark Insect Clan.

Well known.

Each major cultivation star possesses unparalleled strategic importance and value, and absolutely no mistakes can be tolerated.

Even if the Dark Zerg manage to take over Sacred Tree, it will only provoke an even stronger and fiercer counterattack from the Covenant.

But in comparison.

Hulao Star is remote and barren, and its status is clearly far inferior to that of Shenmu Star.

If they were to transform this place into a Zerg hive, they could not only tear a hole in the Covenant's impregnable defenses, but also use it as a springboard to gradually encroach on the surrounding areas.

At that time, Shenmu Star will be unable to support itself alone and will eventually fall into the hands of the Dark Insect Clan!

"The Dark Zerg have certainly played their cards right. If things had gone according to plan, they probably would have succeeded by now."

Lu Yuan sneered.

The Dark Zerg used a feint attack, and together with Peng Bao, they gained control of the entire Hulao Star.

They thought their plan was foolproof, but they never expected that Lu Yuan would become such a variable on Hulao Star!
"The Zerg Queen was born from the purest spiritual energy and also contains a portion of the Hive's will."

"If I can refine and devour it, I can definitely take this opportunity to step into the Nascent Soul realm!"

Lu Yuan quickly calculated in his mind and immediately made up his mind.

Although killing the Zerg Queen will certainly incur the hatred and resentment of the Hive Will.

However, the Hive Will is a higher-dimensional life form, making it difficult for it to break through the Covenant's defenses and forcibly interfere with the real world. Moreover, the Dark Zerg are inexhaustible, possessing tens of thousands of Zerg Queens.

Even an entity like the Hive Will might not go to great lengths for an unhatched Zerg Queen.

Thinking about this.

Without further hesitation, Lu Yuan transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the headquarters of the governing body.

However, after thinking about it, he still made a phone call while on his way.

Although with his current strength, he is capable of sweeping through the entire Hulao Star.

But if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle.

To be on the safe side and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

He still planned to talk to Xia Qing first and ask her to cooperate with him as much as possible.

……

"The Zerg fleet located in Autumnleaf City has been completely annihilated!"

"The Zerg fleet located in Xinghua City has been completely wiped out; the danger has been eliminated!"

"..."

Guanghua City, temporary command post.

Hearing the good news from the front lines, all the headquarters members cheered and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the jubilant crowd, Peng Bao, the governor of Hulao Star, looked as if he had swallowed a dead fly, his face turning extremely ugly.

What exactly is the Dark Zerg doing?
How could they turn a seemingly certain victory into this?
And what exactly is that mysterious golden rainbow?

The Hive Will claims to have blocked all space routes, so where did this cultivator come from?

It was at this time.

A decisive, short-haired woman in a black combat uniform, leading dozens of fully armed elite Astragalus soldiers, suddenly burst through the door.

"Xia Qing, how dare you lead people to openly break into the temporary command post? What exactly do you want to do?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Peng Bao immediately shouted angrily, wishing he could vent all his anger on the other person.

“Peng Bao, your arbitrary actions have already aroused the dissatisfaction of the parliament.”

"Furthermore, based on the important clues we have gathered, we suspect that you are colluding with the Dark Zerg."

"After joint discussions among the six members of parliament, it has been decided to temporarily suspend your position and command authority. We hope you will cooperate with our work!"

Xia Qing was straightforward.

"You want to seize my power? With these few good-for-nothings?"

Peng Bao laughed in anger, completely disregarding the group of Star Realm soldiers before him.

He is a Tier 5 mecha pilot and owns a Tier 5 Obsidian mecha made of D3-grade alloy, making him comparable to a Tier 6 professional.

Among the Star Realm Army before them, the strongest was only Xia Qing, a fourth-tier ability user. What qualifications did she have to dare to be his enemy?

"Peng Bao, do you intend to defy the law and insist on violating the Star Alliance's laws?"

Xia Qing's eyes turned cold as she issued her final ultimatum.

The voice just fell.

The dozens of elite Astronauts behind her simultaneously raised their laser rifles, aiming them directly at Peng Bao's heart, head, and other vital organs.

at the same time.

Peng Bao's wrist-mounted AI suddenly flashed a blinding red light and emitted a rapid, piercing warning sound, as if it had encountered some emergency.

"Is someone attacking the underground base?"

Upon seeing that red light, Peng Bao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to rush back.

But Xia Qing took a step forward and blocked his way.

"I advise you to stay here and not to make any rash moves."

"A bunch of fools who don't know their own mortality, get out of my way!"

Peng Bao's face turned ashen, and he was too lazy to waste any more words with him.

next moment.

There was a flash of light.

A black obsidian mech, over ten meters tall, burst through the building and appeared out of thin air.

"boom!"

The moment he took out his mech, the dozens of Astral Army soldiers opened fire simultaneously.

However, the laser rifle, which could penetrate a heavy tank with a single bullet, left not a single mark on the surface of the Obsidian mech.

"A mayfly shakes a tree, but you don't overestimate your own capabilities!"

Peng Bao snorted coldly and threw a punch casually.

Then a piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Several Astronauts were caught off guard and their bodies exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

But they were just unlucky ones caught in the crossfire of the punch; Xia Qing was Peng Bao's real target!

Just as Xia Qing was about to be punched by the Obsidian Mech, a sudden gust of wind swept through the area.

Countless invisible, transparent wind blades spun rapidly in the air, eventually forming four hurricane tornadoes that swarmed towards the obsidian mech.

A-level wind-type superpower: Death Tornado!

The wind howled and the storm raged.

Those wind blades were incredibly sharp, enough to shred an iron fortress into countless pieces.

Even with such terrifying wind-based superpowers, the attack of the Obsidian Mech only deviated slightly.

However, this slight deviation was enough to give Xia Qing a moment to catch her breath.

"boom!"

Peng Bao landed a punch.

High-rise buildings collapsed, and skyscrapers crumbled.

Everything in front of them exploded.

A long trail stretched for dozens of miles from the original location, dividing the entire Guanghua City in two!

This is the terrifying aspect of Lu Chen-level combat power.

With a mere gesture, they can unleash earth-shattering power!

But just as Peng Bao rushed out of the building, preparing to return to the underground base...

However, they discovered that a tight net had already been laid outside the temporary command post.

Countless unmanned combat aircraft circled in the sky, while hundreds of standard mechs stood by on the ground.

Besides.

Heavy armored vehicles and a large number of heavy weapons have been fully loaded and are ready to launch an attack at any time!

"A clay chicken and a tile dog, utterly vulnerable."

However, Peng Bao was dismissive of the well-organized astral army before him.

Tier 5 mecha pilots are also known as land-sinking level combatants.

Given enough time, he could even single-handedly destroy a superpower with billions of people.

The astral army before them appeared to be quite formidable.

In reality, this was just courting death and posed no threat to him whatsoever!

"Proceed according to the original plan. We just need to stall him for ten minutes or so."

Xia Qing was clearly well aware of just how vast the gap was between them and a Lu Chen-level combatant.

So from the very beginning, she never intended to cause any harm to Peng Bao.

the other side.

Just as they were fighting Peng Bao.

Following the information he obtained from the Zerg warship, Lu Yuan ventured alone into the underground base! (End of Chapter)
