On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Laughter echoed in the darkness, as if everything was under his control.

Zorin frowned.

That's not right; there's more to it than meets the eye.

Kratol was extremely arrogant, yet he never spoke without a purpose.

He must have something to rely on to say those words in front of the two of them.

This short sentence contains multiple layers of meaning.

Was he certain that Youlan wouldn't come? Or was it that even if Youlan came, it wouldn't change anything? Or perhaps, there was a deeper scheme at play?

A sense of unease crept into Zorin's heart, but her expression remained calm: "What do you mean by that?"

It's impossible for Youlan to have any problems.

She quickly went through it in her mind, trying to convince herself.

Youlan is a strong-willed person, both internally and externally, and she never yields to others.

In the Chaotic Star Sea, anyone who knows him can confirm this.

Before the alliance was formed, the Chaotic Star Sea was in chaos, with various star regions divided by warlords and interstellar wars breaking out everywhere.

Youlan led the Shadow Clan in campaigns across the north and south, conquering multiple star regions. Their strength was so formidable that even Tess at the time dared not underestimate them.

The Shadow Clan also has someone who is no weaker than him, named Cynthia.

When the two joined forces, they were almost invincible in the Chaotic Star Sea.

During that period, the Shadow Clan gained immense benefits, with their resources, territory, and population expanding rapidly. Their momentum was so great that even the Void Clan was unwilling to confront them head-on. Zorin was only able to maintain her distance thanks to the unique geographical advantage of Titan.

The Shadow Clan once surpassed Titan and the Void Clan in overall strength, reaching the height of their power.

Five thousand years ago, however, Krator launched an epic war that swept across the entire Chaotic Star Sea, completely rewriting its landscape.

That war lasted for several years. It took the combined efforts of the three races to barely drive out the Undead. The Shadow Clan suffered the most intense frontal attack, resulting in heavy casualties, a sharp decline in population, and a dramatic drop in strength.

Because of the severe damage to their vitality, the Shadow Clan has kept a low profile and focused on recuperation for the past five thousand years.

However, Youlan herself will not have any issues with her stance.

Zorin knew his strength, his skills, and his character very well.

He was a ruthless warlord born for a chaotic world.

Five thousand years ago, he was able to withstand the main force of Kratol's attack; after five thousand years of recuperation, he will only become stronger.

It was this understanding that made Zorin even more confused.

But why did Kratol smile so confidently?

Just as Zorin was thinking rapidly, a dark rift silently tore open.

Youlan emerged from within, her face cold and gloomy.

"Some things took a backseat. I didn't come immediately after receiving Tess's message."

When Tess saw Youlan appear just in time, the faint unease in her heart finally dissipated.

The fact that he can stand here shows that there hasn't been any major trouble within the Shadow Clan.

With the leaders of the three clans gathered, the situation was no longer one of passive resistance.

But Zolin remained vigilant.

Instead, he became more cautious, keeping a close eye on Youlan's movements.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but Kratol's confident tone from earlier kept lingering in her mind.

Tess was filled with murderous intent, and her amber wings were fully spread.

"Krattor, if you don't want history to repeat itself five thousand years ago, you'd better take your lackeys and leave the Chaotic Star Sea as soon as possible. Otherwise, we don't mind putting you back into that rift and locking you up for another five thousand years."

Kratol's voice suddenly rose, becoming sharp and violent: "Three stubborn old fools!"

Before the words were even finished, the battle erupted instantly.

Tess's wings flapped violently, unleashing countless amber-colored mental shocks that poured out like a torrential rain, directly blasting at Krator.

Zorin's illusory body suddenly grew longer, and the power of the Titan surged and roared within her.

With a single punch, even the void groaned and trembled under its force.

Youlan's figure transformed into hundreds of shadows, each one concealing a deadly move.

The battle five thousand years ago had already honed the three of them into a tacit understanding.

Without a word or a glance, the three attacks arrived almost simultaneously, sealing off all of Kratol's escape routes.

This joint attack was an attempt to probe Krator's true strength.

However, as soon as they clashed, the expressions of the three men changed simultaneously.

They all passed right through his body without any response.

"this one?"

Kratol chuckled softly, and the dark shadow trembled violently.

A terrifying recoil force simultaneously struck the three of them.

Zorin was the first to be affected.

The force crashed into her body with unstoppable force, slamming her swollen Titan form away.

The gigantic phantom crashed into the Demon Star.

In an instant, Demon Spirit Star was reduced to countless fragments, becoming a meteorite zone.

Zolin steadied herself and wiped away the blue blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth.

His gaze swept across the area and he discovered that it wasn't just the Void race's territory that was being invaded by the Undead.

War broke out across the entire chaotic planet.

A massive horde of undead surged forth like a plague, sweeping across every planet inhabited by life.

The city fell, civilization collapsed, and countless lives were torn to pieces amidst cries of agony.

The life energy they gained transformed into torrents of pale green, traversing the sea of ​​stars and flowing into Krator's body like rivers flowing into the sea.

Zorin's heart sank.

Krator also possesses the ability to be immortal, but as the leader of the undead, he is different from those minions who can resurrect indefinitely.

Each time he dies, the cost is extremely high.

It takes an immeasurable amount of life energy to reassemble the body.

Last time, they seized on this point, killing him time and time again, constantly depleting his life reserves, and finally weakening him to an extremely weak state before successfully forcing him into the spatial rift.

But now, his strength has increased to such a level that he can contend with the three of them working together.

They also launched a full-scale war.

Every moment, billions of lives are dying.

Every minute and every second, a massive amount of life energy flows into his body.

By sustaining itself through war, its strength has not only not been weakened, but has continued to increase.

This means that killing him the first time is often the most difficult.

And now he is far more powerful than he was at his peak five thousand years ago.

Just as Zorin rejoined the battlefield, a loud bang came from the shattered Demon Star.

The shockwaves from the shattered planet swept in all directions, and with the destruction of the Demon Star, the giant insect hive that Tess had used as a prison was also torn to pieces in the explosion.

The undead that had been sucked into the insect hive and should have been trapped inside actually surged out again.

They gathered densely together, forming a surging wave that swept towards Zorin, who was closest to them.

"It's so troublesome that I can't kill it!"

Zorin frowned, her tone full of impatience.

With both palms out, a colossal Titan phantom appeared behind him, its two enormous, sky-covering hands slamming down in succession.

With each strike, hundreds of millions of undead were pulverized.

But these guys showed no fear, surging forward wave after wave, as if they could never be killed off.

Zolin snorted coldly and stopped wasting her energy.

The giant hand swung horizontally, swatting away all the undead along with a fragment of space.

Immediately afterwards, she ripped open a huge spatial rift in the void with her hands.

The undead that were blasted away rolled into the rift like trash, swept away by the spatial turbulence and their whereabouts unknown.

After cleaning up, Zorin rushed into the main battlefield without looking back, forming a triangle with Tess and Youlan, once again surrounding Krator in the center.
