Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 420 Gaining More Points, Zhou Tianxing's Eyes!
The piercing alarm suddenly shattered the tranquility of the base!
Almost simultaneously with the alarm sounding, the military communicator on the base commander's chest emitted a chilling, rapid red light.

His expression hardened, and he immediately turned his gaze to Gao Zheng. After receiving a silent nod of approval from the regimental commander, he quickly connected the communication and decisively turned on speakerphone.

"Command Center! This is the Tranquil Street Patrol Team!" A soldier's urgent, almost distorted voice came from the other end of the communicator. "High-intensity crimson pollution detected in Tranquil Street Area 24! Energy level determined to be Moon Realm!"

The target is currently active within the manor; immediate support is requested! (Repeated: Request immediate support!)

The moment the commander heard the address "24 Suijing Street," his pupils contracted sharply, and all the color drained from his face.

This location is not only only a dozen kilometers from the city lord's mansion, but also only sixty kilometers from the military base. What's more fatal is its location.

"Are you sure it's 24 Suijing Street?" The commander's voice trembled slightly.

"Confirmed! The target is inside the Sibert family's manor!"

The entire command center fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone clearly remembers that within the military base's 100-kilometer radius defense perimeter, this area was designated as having the highest level of protection.

The residences of most of the seven councilors of Tebick City are located here, and countless noble children and families of high-ranking imperial officials live in this area known as the "Platinum Garden".

24 St. John's Street was the ancestral estate of the powerful Baron Sibert.

This powerful figure, who ranks among the top three in Tebick City, has had a crimson monster of the Moon Realm appear in his mansion!

The commander instinctively looked at Gao Zheng, his voice somewhat hoarse: "Commander, Baron Sibert's manor... if this monster continues to wreak havoc, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood the consequences—if the elite suffered mass casualties, the entire power structure of Tebick City would be violently shaken.

Gao Zheng frowned deeply.

The mission personally assigned by His Majesty is of paramount importance, and in principle, the original action plan should not be changed due to any unforeseen circumstances.

However, if distress signals are ignored, regardless of the identity of the person sending them, the number of casualties will rise rapidly.

Just as he was weighing his options, Lu Xuan spoke up: "Captain, you guys set off first according to plan. I'll deal with that Moonlit Realm monster and meet up with you in half an hour."

No one noticed the fleeting glint in Lu Xuan's eyes—he was worried about not finding a suitable crimson monster to verify his conjecture about "system points".

The prey from the Moon Realm that has just come to our doorstep is like a pillow arriving when we're dozing off.

This initiative to volunteer surprised Gao Zheng and all the other members of the group.

They knew their deputy commander all too well: Lu Xuan was always aloof and cold, always focused on the mission and never causing any trouble, and he hated getting involved with the powerful and wealthy.

This genius, who came from a poor background, had no fondness for those born into noble families. He would never take action for them unless ordered by the empire.

Such an exception today is truly rare.

After a moment's thought, Gao Zheng nodded in agreement: "Go and come back quickly!"

He knew that with Lu Xuan's absolute strength at the peak of the Blazing Sun Realm, dealing with a crimson monster at the Bright Moon Realm would be as simple as crushing an ant, and wouldn't take much time.

As planned, the main force will first clear out the monster horde outside the city, and Lu Xuan will be able to catch up and join them soon after he finishes his task.

Lu Xuan said no more. Before anyone could react, he reached out and grabbed the anxious base commander in front of him.

The next moment, starlight surged around Lu Xuan, and he transformed into a streak of light that shot into the sky.

A violent sonic boom exploded in the air, its speed far exceeding that of the helicopter formation beside it.

This almost tyrannical aerial crossing, while extremely fast, also consumes a tremendous amount of the star power within the body.

Unless the situation is extremely urgent, even a powerful expert at the Blazing Sun Realm would usually choose a more efficient mode of transportation.

The base commander, who was being held in someone's hand, was a powerful expert at the peak of the Star Realm, but he had no chance to resist.

He felt a blur before his eyes, a howling wind in his ears, and the scenery on the ground rapidly distorting and receding in his vision.

The base commander barely suppressed the surging stellar power within him, struggling to discern directions and acting as a temporary "navigator."

Below, Gao Zheng and the other members watched as Lu Xuan, without saying a word, "kidnapped" the base's highest-ranking officer, their lips twitching slightly.

They could clearly feel the gazes of thousands of base soldiers ahead of them, as if they were firmly nailed to their backs.

"Deputy Commander Lu Xuan is really... isn't he going a bit too far?" a male team member muttered under his breath.

Gao Zheng was the first to recover from the awkward situation. He took a deep breath, ignored the complicated gazes behind him, and turned to the base's deputy commander, who was also somewhat stunned.

"set off!"

The closer one gets to the prestigious "Platinum Garden" area, the clearer the sounds in the air become.

The crowd screamed in terror, wailed in despair, and heard the distinctive buzzing and crackling sounds of Imperial firearms.

Baron Sibert's estate was now in sight.

This once elegant and secluded building is now engulfed in flames in several places, with thick black smoke billowing upwards, turning large swaths of the sky black.

In the center of that raging fire and ruins, a three-meter-tall, twisted monster let out a deafening roar.

The voice contained clearly discernible human speech, filled with endless resentment and indignation.

"Kill you all! I gave everything for the empire... You beasts, why did you frame my son! You embezzled the empire's resources, you deserve to die a horrible death!"

The monster's appearance was extremely terrifying, shrouded in ominous blood-red smoke. Its right arm was shrunken and short, while its left arm was abnormally long and grotesque.

Half of its head still retained the outline of a human, while the other half was covered with pustules that were constantly bubbling with blood.

Its legs were deformed into four reverse-jointed limbs, and a long, thin tail thrashed wildly behind it.

What's most chilling is that several people dressed in the robes of nobles with the sun, moon, and stars were pierced through its huge left claw, like skewers of candied hawthorns.

It was shoving one of the people into the mouth of the half-human-shaped creature and chewing it vigorously.

Then, a smile that was a mixture of extreme pain and manic pleasure gradually appeared on the half of the human face.

"Help! Someone, please help!"

"This monster...it killed Baron Thibert! It killed many people..."

The survivors cried out in anguish, their voices filled with despair and collapse.

The manor's bodyguards, armed with heavy weapons, desperately unleashed a barrage of fire at the twisted monster, blinding beams of bullets weaving a net in an attempt to halt its advance.

However, the monster, though seemingly bloated and deformed, moved with superhuman speed, its form becoming a blood-red afterimage.

In the blink of an eye, it had already burst into the crowd, its sharp claws sweeping and its long tail whipping, tearing apart all the bodyguards who were firing guns.

Even worse, some animals were picked up by the cat, had their heads bitten off, and were swallowed whole, creating an extremely bloody scene.

Even after such a fierce battle, the monster was not entirely unscathed.

Multiple gruesome wounds, each the size of a bowl, covered its massive body; these were marks blasted out by powerful firepower.

But what is most despairing is that the granulation tissue at the edges of those wounds is writhing and intertwining at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this rate, given just a moment's respite, these severe injuries can heal rapidly—this is the terrifying vitality and regenerative ability of the Crimson Fallen, far beyond human imagination.

"Damn it! Why aren't those useless troops here yet! I'm going to complain to the city lord's mansion and make them all go to a military court! They'll pay for all the losses suffered by the Sibert family with their lives!"

A young man dressed in a magnificent robe with the sun and moon on it huddled in the chaotic crowd, his body trembling with fear.

However, he was still cursing the delayed reinforcements in his heart and fantasizing about revenge and compensation afterward.

The next second, the crimson monster seemed to sense the hatred in its blood.

It abruptly shook off the bodyguards who were entangled around it, its single, crimson eye fixed on the young man, and charged straight at him with overwhelming resentment!
Driven by their survival instincts, the crowd scattered in all directions, leaving the young man, who was still cursing, all alone in the open space.

The anger on his face froze instantly, turning into extreme terror. Before he could react, a gaping maw, accompanied by a stench, descended upon him.

The faint stellar power within the young man, belonging to the Enlightenment Realm, failed to cause even the slightest ripple in the face of this absolute power.

Before his consciousness completely faded into darkness, the last image the young man saw was the chilling satisfaction and pleasure emanating from the monster's half-old face.

"Crack——!"

With a sickening cracking sound, he was bitten in half at the waist.

The monster was chewing on bones, enjoying the morbid satisfaction brought by flesh and blood.

But before it could laugh for long, half of its human face suddenly froze, revealing an extremely anthropomorphic look of stunned disbelief.

Then, the crimson monster's head, in a manner defying physiological structure, abruptly rotated 180 degrees, soaring over the wreckage to precisely gaze above the manor—

A figure had appeared silently in the void at some unknown time.

The exquisitely crafted gold and white robes fluttered in the wind. Lu Xuan casually carried the still-shaken base commander in his left hand, while his right hand rested calmly behind his back.

His deep gaze calmly surveyed the hellish landscape below.

Everywhere you look, there are corpses strewn about, and the scarlet blood has stained the luxurious tiled floor a dark red.

Mutilated limbs and fragmented human organs were scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a nauseating, heavy stench of blood.

On the half of the old man's face, his single, bloodshot eye first flashed with extreme horror.

It recognized the robe; it was the symbol of the Sun and Moon Imperial Court, and only the captains and deputy captains of the ten great guards, as well as top experts above the Blazing Sun Realm, were qualified to wear it!
Apart from the city lord, there shouldn't be any top-tier experts like the Blazing Sun Realm in Tebick City!

But after the initial shock, a twisted sense of relief and joy, of revenge finally being served, welled up in the lingering mind of the crimson monster.

He had gone from an ordinary person who had reached the Great Perfection of the Starry Sky Realm to someone who miraculously gained the power of the Moonlit Realm after falling into the Crimson Realm, and barely managed to retain this last bit of rationality for revenge. It was clearly a final gift from fate.

It was fortunate that before all this was over, it had slaughtered all its enemies, especially the culprit—Baron Sibert—who had been torn apart and devoured by its own hands.

In any case, the crimson monster had long anticipated its annihilation, but it never expected that the one who would come to end it would be such a high and mighty figure.

At this moment, it has nothing left to hold onto.

"Die! This damned, unjust world!"

With a roar that was a mixture of endless resentment and relief, the crimson monster suddenly exerted force with its limbs, causing the ground to crack and the expensive tiles to turn to dust in an instant.

Its massive, blood-soaked body, filled with all its pain and resentment, charged fiercely toward Lu Xuan in mid-air!

Facing the mutated monster that soared into the sky with an aura of destruction, Lu Xuan's eyes remained calm and unwavering.

He didn't even let go of the base commander's left hand.

Just as that gaping maw was about to devour Lu Xuan, a purple light rippled out from the depths of Lu Xuan's eyes like a newborn universe, and he casually glanced at the void.

Zhou Tianxing's eyes!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling starlight. Instead, an invisible and intangible, yet seemingly weightless, terrifying will descended in an instant.

Below, within the manor, the still intact and magnificent domes and columns, in the instant that will swept over them, were like sandcastles thrown into the river of time, silently turning into dust and vanishing into nothingness.

Under this absolute power of the starry sky, the scene reflected in the monster's single, crimson eye has drastically changed.

It was no longer the real world, but a boundless, cold, and primordial universe where stars rise and fall. At the edge of that vast expanse, there were eyes that had witnessed the birth and death of the universe and seen through the endless cycle of reincarnation.

Purple aura, like a galaxy, swirled and flowed, carrying a supreme will that transcended the mortal world and surpassed all things, coldly watching over it.

"Ugh...!"

All the roars and resentment of the crimson monster vanished instantly under the gaze of those eyes.

It didn't feel the crushing force, but rather a despairing insignificance in terms of its level of existence, as if it had become a speck of dust, being coldly scrutinized by the entire universe.

The crimson monster's frenzied charge froze in mid-air. Its massive, blood-soaked body began to tremble uncontrollably before plummeting straight down from the sky.

"boom--!"

With a dull thud and flying debris, the monster was slammed back to the ground, creating a huge crater.

His bones emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the granulation tissue that had been growing wildly just moments before instantly died, and his violent aura rapidly deflated like a punctured balloon.

With a single, seemingly effortless strike, the ferocious Moon Realm monster was utterly annihilated.

Lu Xuan slowly descended from the sky, his sun and moon robes spotless.

As he looked at the system notification that appeared in his field of vision, a barely perceptible ripple flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes.

He turned to the base commander who had just regained his footing.

"You go and meet up with Commander Gao and the others first. I have some small matters to attend to."

After a brief pause, Lu Xuan added, "Tell the commander that if possible, postpone the operation and wait for my return."

Before the other party could even respond, Lu Xuan transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant, leaving the base commander standing there dumbfounded.

"This……"

The commander stared at the manor reduced to ruins, the air thick with the stench of blood and scorched earth. He looked up in the direction where Lu Xuan had disappeared, speechless for a moment.

The next moment, he quickly came to his senses and realized that he no longer needed to deal with the situation.

The subsequent cleanup and investigation work will be handled by a dedicated department.

The most important thing right now is to carry out the orders of this powerful and despair-inducing deputy commander.

The base commander immediately took out his personal communicator, connected to the base channel, and spoke rapidly.

"Command Center, immediately dispatch a helicopter to the area of ​​No. 24 Suijing Street and stand by. Repeat, No. 24 Suijing Street, priority access has been activated!"
