Super God: I simulated the heavens and was broadcast live in public

Chapter 265 You old bastard! You have no martial ethics!
Yun Ming circled rapidly in the air, a defensive matrix appearing around him. "You haven't even unlocked the true power of the Holy Energy Crystal! It can resonate with void energy; only in this way can..."

"shut up!"

Pan Zhen interrupted Yun Ming, the energy chains chasing and coiling around him like living things, "Distorted and heretical doctrines! How dare you desecrate the sacred relics inherited from the Lieyang Civilization!"

He suddenly changed direction, turning the chains around to attack Morgana, who was fighting against the torrent of energy. "I'll deal with you, you demon, first, then I'll take care of him!"

Morgana's pupils constricted, and dark matter energy condensed into a massive barrier in front of her: "Old man! You have no sportsmanship!"

The barrier twisted violently under the impact of the chains. She gritted her teeth and took a half-step back. "Yunming! If we don't find the crystal soon, we'll both die here!"

A cold glint flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, and his hands quickly formed hand seals, causing countless data streams to appear in the void: "Senior Pan Zhen, I apologize!"

Countless data-driven arrows shot out from his palm, hurtling towards Pan Zhen with a piercing sound.

At the same time, he flashed and rushed towards the secret chamber deep inside the palace.

"Don't think about it!"

Pan Zhen waved his hand, shattering the arrows. His holy energy condensed into a huge light shield, and he turned to chase after Yun Ming.

Suddenly, Morgana transformed into black mist, instantly obscuring his vision: "Hey, old man, we haven't settled our score yet!"

Countless dark matter tentacles emerged from the black mist, binding Pan Zhen's limbs and energy chains.

Yunming rushed into the secret room and saw a crystal the size of a basketball floating in the center, with a seven-colored halo flowing on its surface.

Just as he was about to reach for it, the crystal suddenly burst forth with a bright light, and a phantom figure appeared in the light.

"Outsiders who want to take the Holy Energy Crystal, you'll have to get past me first."

The figure spoke with an ethereal voice, a lightsaber materializing in his hand. "I am the first guardian of the Blazing Sun Star. Today, I will show you the true power of the Blazing Sun!"

Yun Ming took a deep breath, data wings unfurled behind him, and an energy spear materialized in his hand: "Excuse me! I must take the crystal with me!"

The spear and lightsaber collided, and the resulting energy wave caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the walls of the secret chamber.

Outside, Morgana and Pan Zhen's battle intensified.

Pan Zhen broke free from the black mist's restraints, clasped his hands together, and conjured a giant light blast: "Demon, prepare to die!"

The light bullet hurtled toward Morgana with devastating force.

Morgana suddenly revealed a sly smile, and a huge dark matter vortex opened up behind her: "Just what I wanted! It would be impolite not to reciprocate!"

The dark matter vortex swallowed the light bullet and then bounced it back with several times the force.

Pan Zhen's expression was solemn. He deployed his full Holy Energy Shield to withstand the impact, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the force of the shock.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning with even more murderous intent: "You devil, you've got some skill! But the Star of Blazing Sun will not tolerate your insolence!"

With that, he took out a golden token, "Guardian Array, activate!"

The entire palace began to shake violently, and a huge array of runes appeared on the ground, with countless golden pillars of light shooting into the sky.

Morgana's expression changed, and she quickly retreated: "Yunming! They've activated the great formation! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Inside the secret chamber, the battle between Yunming and the first generation of guardians reached its climax.

His energy spear was shattered, and his body was covered in wounds, but his eyes remained resolute.

Suddenly, he saw an unusual glint in the crystal's light. A thought struck him, and he abandoned his attack, instead using data energy to create a channel around the crystal.

"What do you want to do?"

The first Guardian sensed Yunming's intention and accelerated his light sword thrust.

Instead of retreating, Yun Ming charged forward to meet the light sword, grabbing the crystal with both hands at the same time: "I'm sorry!"

The crystal shone brightly, enveloping Yunming within it.

When the lightsaber of the first guardian pierced Yunming, it suddenly vanished.

Yunming's figure appeared and disappeared in the light. He felt countless pieces of information flooding into his mind, and he was deciphering the true secret of the crystal.

Outside, Pan Zhen looked at the illuminated protective array and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Within this array, you have no chance of escape!"

Morgana suddenly burst into laughter: "Pan Zhen, do you think you can trap us like this? Yun Ming is no ordinary person!"

Before the words were finished, a violent tremor came from the direction of the secret chamber, and a seven-colored beam of light shot into the sky, directly piercing through the protective array.

Yunming slowly rose from the pillar of light, holding the crystal. His eyes became more profound, and he exuded an aura completely different from before.

"How is this possible?"

Pan Zhen stared in shock at the breached array, "The power of the Holy Energy Crystal... you actually..."

Yunming gently stroked the crystal and smiled, "Senior Pan Zhen, thank you for your 'hospitality'."

I understand the true purpose of the Sacred Energy Crystal; it is not only a protective force, but also the key to unlocking the ultimate mysteries of the universe.

He looked at Morgana, "Let's go, we have more important things to do."

"stop!"

Pan Zhen roared and gathered his energy once more, "How can you just take away the sacred artifact of Lieyang Star like that!"

A data barrier appeared around Yunming, and he calmly said, "Senior, forcibly stopping us will not benefit anyone."

"The planet Lieyang needs change, and only in my hands can the crystal reach its full potential."

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes. "You must have noticed it too, there's a problem with the inheritance of the Blazing Sun Civilization, isn't there?"

Pan Zhen's attack suddenly stopped, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes: "How...how did you know?"

Yunming sighed: "The Holy Energy Crystal has already told me everything."

The blazing sun star appears powerful, but in reality, it is stagnant and complacent. Its protective array, though seemingly sturdy, cannot withstand a true crisis.

He held the crystal above his head. "Let me take it with me. I will use it to find a new way out for the Lieyang civilization and for the entire universe."

Morgana waved her hand impatiently: "Stop dawdling! Are you going to let us leave or not? If not, let's keep fighting!"

Dark matter energy surged behind her, ready to strike at any moment.

Pan Zhen remained silent for a long time before finally lowering his hand, his energy slowly dissipating: "So be it. Perhaps this is fate."

But you'd better keep your word, otherwise, you won't be able to withstand the wrath of the Fiery Star.

Yunming nodded in acknowledgment: "Senior, rest assured, I will not let you down."

After saying that, he and Morgana transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the sky above the planet Lieyang.

Pan Zhen gazed in the direction they had left, muttering to himself, "I hope you can truly bring about change."

He turned to look at the devastated palace and sighed softly, "The Sun Star needs a change."

A faint silver light emanated from Yunming's body, but it was not an attack posture; he was merely releasing his aura to create a deterrent effect.

"Do you really think that the power of the Blazing Sun Star can stop me?"

His voice was cold, yet he suppressed his patience: "If I wanted to take it, you wouldn't even have a chance to react right now."

Pan Zhen laughed in fury, and the phantom of the blazing sun behind him expanded, illuminating the entire hall: "Are you threatening me? The people of Lieyang Star would rather die than let the treasure fall into the hands of a demon!"

He clenched his right fist, and a flaming spear condensed in his palm.

"demon?"

A flicker of pain flashed in Yunming's eyes. "Do you know why I left Lieyang Star back then? It was because you self-proclaimed righteous people regarded me as an outsider! But I have never intentionally harmed a single person from Lieyang Star!"

The silver light around him trembled violently. "I've returned only to save her, yet you insist on stopping me?"

"she?"

Pan Zhen paused slightly, and the light of his flaming spear dimmed somewhat. "You mean..."

"Yes, it's Ruoxi."

Yunming's voice was hoarse, "Back then, she was severely injured by a void creature while protecting me, and has been in a deep sleep ever since. The Holy Energy Crystal is the only hope to awaken her."

His eyes were full of reminiscence. "Do you remember? Ruoxi admired you the most, and always said that General Pan Zhen was the guardian deity of Lieyang Star."

Pan Zhen's hand holding the spear trembled slightly, and the flames were completely extinguished: "Ruoxi... she's become like this?"

He remained silent for a long time, then suddenly roared, "That won't do! The Holy Energy Crystal is a matter of life and death for the Sun Star, I can't take the risk!"

Yunming suddenly knelt on one knee, a move that caused Pan Zhen's pupils to shrink sharply.

"General Pan Zhen, I beg you."

Yunming pressed his forehead to the ground. "Back then, Ruoxi was injured for my sake. If I can't save her, what's the point of living? I swear on my life that I will return the crystal as soon as I'm done with it!"

"Life? Can your life be worth more than a Holy Energy Crystal?"

Although Pan Zhen's tone was firm, it was no longer so resolute. "Besides, even if the crystal can really save lives, do you know how to use it? If you're not careful, it might actually hasten the patient's death!"

Yunming suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming with hope: "Are you willing to tell me the method?"

"I didn't say I was willing!"

Pan Zhen turned his back, "But... that girl Ruoxi really shouldn't have to endure all this."

He sighed, "Even if I believe you, the elders will not agree."

The crystal was jointly guarded by them; without the key from one of them, it was impossible to retrieve it.

"Presbyterian?"

Yunming stood up. "Take me to see them. I will make them believe me."

"Do you think the elders are so easily persuaded?"

Pan Zhen sneered, "They've been stubborn for tens of thousands of years, and even I can't change their minds."

He suddenly looked outside the hall with a wary expression. "Wait, can you feel it? There's an unfamiliar presence approaching."

Yun Ming's expression changed: "They're void creatures! How did they manage to track us here?"

His body blazed with silver light. "Pan Zhen, let's join forces to repel the enemy first. We'll talk about the Holy Energy Crystal later!"

"Hmph, who wants to team up with you!"

Pan Zhen spoke toughly, but he had already assumed a fighting stance. "However, these scumbags who cause trouble on Lieyang Star must pay the price!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dome of the main hall exploded, and more than a dozen creatures emanating eerie black mist descended from the sky.

The leading creature was enormous, with a head that was a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, and arms that had transformed into two jet-black scythes.

"Yunming, I never expected you to have escaped here!"

The monster's voice sounded like the scraping of metal, "Hand over the void genes within you obediently, and we might leave you with a whole corpse!"

Pan Zhen's eyes narrowed: "Void Gene? So that's where your power comes from! No wonder I've always felt something was off!"

His gaze toward Yunming was once again filled with hostility.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Yunming flashed to meet the monster, a lightsaber materializing in his hand. "These guys are after me. If you don't want Lieyang Star to be destroyed, let's fight side by side!"

The battle erupted instantly, with Yunming's lightsaber clashing with the monster's scythe, unleashing a dazzling light.

Pan Zhen was not to be outdone, and the illusory image of the blazing sun transformed into a giant fireball that crashed down on the void creature.

"Yunming, the void genes within you are unstable!"

Pan Zhen shouted as he attacked, "If this continues, you'll be devoured by the genes!"

"I can't worry about that now!"

Yun Ming gritted his teeth, the silver light on his body gradually dimmed, and instead revealed a trace of black energy. "As long as I can save Ruoxi, what does it matter if I am devoured!"

During the fierce battle, Yunming's movements gradually slowed down, and the black energy began to erode his body.

The monster seized the opportunity and slashed its scythe fiercely at his head.

"careful!"

Pan Zhen suddenly appeared in front of Yun Ming, blocking the scythe with his arm, blood gushing out. "You bastard... you'd risk your life for a woman?"

Seeing Pan Zhen injured, Yunming was shocked: "Why did you save me? Don't you hate me?"

"I hate void creatures!"

Pan Zhen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Besides... if Ruoxi knew that I didn't help her, she'd probably wake up from her deep sleep and yell at me."

He turned to look at the monster, "If you want to run wild on Lieyang Star, you'll have to get past me first!"

The two worked together more and more seamlessly, gradually suppressing the void creatures.

Just as the situation was improving, a black beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the monster.

The monsters' bodies began to swell, and their strength increased dramatically.

"Oh no! It's the power of the Void Engine!"

Yun Ming's face turned pale. "They're summoning an even more powerful being! Pan Zhen, quickly notify the people of Lieyang Star to evacuate!"

Pan Zhen shook his head: "It's too late, and even if we evacuate, with this force, we can't protect Lieyang Star."

He looked at Yunming, a resolute glint in his eyes, "Perhaps, there is only one way..."

"any solution?"

"Use the Holy Energy Crystal!"

Pan Zhen said, "Although its power is unstable, it may be able to contend with the Void Engine."

However, those who use crystals will suffer a great backlash.

Yunming replied without hesitation: "I'll do it! As long as it can resolve the crisis, it's worth dying for!"

"You think I'd let you go?"

Pan Zhen sneered, "If you die, who will save Ruoxi? I ​​am a general of Lieyang Star, this is my responsibility."

He turned and left, saying, "You stay here and hold off these monsters, I'm going to get the crystal!"

"and many more!"

Yunming shouted, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone, I'll go with you!"

"Enough nonsense! Do you think these monsters will let us leave?"

Pan Zhen didn't even turn his head. "Keep an eye on Lieyang Star, and wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, his figure transformed into a streak of fire and disappeared into the horizon.

Yunming gripped his lightsaber tightly, watching the increasing number of void creatures, and made a silent vow in his heart: "Pan Zhen, you must come back alive."

Ruoxi is still waiting, and Lieyang Star needs you too.

I promise you, I will protect this place!

He took a deep breath, and the silver light and black energy on his body intertwined wildly as he charged towards the monster horde.

Yunming pushed his palm forward, and the ball of black flame, like a ferocious beast, lunged at Pan Zhen with bared fangs and claws.

The air hissed as the flames passed through.

The scorching sound caused the space to crack and twist.
