The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 108 The Wrath of Immortality

Filled with the joy of victory and anticipation for the future, Li Er, Zhen Yan, and Zhen Che boarded the spaceship.

Prepare to leave this interstellar waterfall, a place brimming with danger and opportunity, with the hard-won genetic material.

They were convinced that after this arduous struggle, they could finally take a break and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The spaceship slowly started up, its engines emitting a deep roar, and gradually sailed away amidst the dazzling brilliance of interstellar energy.

Zhenche excitedly recounted his future plans, his eyes sparkling with anticipation: "With this genetic material, we can definitely exchange it for lots and lots of money! We'll definitely take a huge step forward on our cultivation path, and maybe even stand out among the human race."

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, as if he could already see his glorious future.

Zhen Yan smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's right, all the hardships along the way have not been in vain. After we leave this secret realm and return to our home star system, we will go into seclusion to cultivate and digest this rare opportunity."

His eyes revealed a hint of relief after exhaustion as he leaned back in his seat.

As Li Er gazed at the receding interstellar waterfall outside the window, a sense of unease welled up within him.

He knew the habits of the giant beasts in the starry sky well; they were all solitary creatures, and logically speaking, there should be no other giant beasts in this place.

However, this unease was like a seed that had been quietly planted, taking root and sprouting in his heart, making it impossible for him to let go.

Just then, the spaceship's communication system suddenly received a powerful and unfamiliar energy fluctuation.

Li Er's expression changed drastically, and he immediately activated his perception to investigate.

A moment later, his expression turned as grave as the sky before a storm: "This is bad! An extremely powerful force is rapidly approaching, at a speed far beyond our imagination!"

His voice shattered the relaxed atmosphere in the cabin, striking Zhen Yan and Zhen Che's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Zhenche asked nervously, "Is there some other danger again?" His smile froze instantly, his eyes filled with doubt and worry.

Zhen Yan sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the screen: "Whatever it is, we must be prepared for battle."

He quickly checked the spaceship's various defense systems, his hands moving rapidly across the control panel as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, when that power actually appeared before their eyes, the three of them felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

A colossal, immortal-level purple pupa beast, exuding terrifying pressure, streaked through the void like a burning meteor, hurtling towards them.

Its body was as majestic as a mountain, and every step it took was accompanied by the distortion and tremor of space. Its powerful aura swept over them like an invisible storm, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Zhen Che's face turned deathly pale, and his voice trembled as he said, "This...this is an immortal-level star beast, how could we possibly defeat it?"

His legs trembled involuntarily, and fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

Despair was also evident in Zhen Yan's eyes, but he still tried to remain calm: "It seems that the giant purple cocoon beast asked it for help. We underestimated the connection between them."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands gripped the control lever tightly, even though he knew it might be futile.

Li Er took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear and anxiety in his heart: "Don't panic, we may still have a glimmer of hope."

His eyes gleamed with determination, as he tried to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.

But the immortal behemoths clearly wouldn't give them much time to think.

As soon as it approached the spaceship, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a beam of energy like black lightning, heading straight for the spaceship.

Wherever the energy beam passed, space seemed to be torn into countless fragments, emitting a chilling howling sound.

Along with this roar came the furious cry of the colossal purple chrysalis beast: "How dare you bully my wife!"

Zhen Yan quickly maneuvered the spaceship to evade, the spaceship like a small boat in a raging storm, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

However, the immortal behemoth's attacks were relentless and fierce, its enormous claws slashing through the air, creating spatial rifts as it viciously grabbed at the spaceship.

"Humans, you provoked us first!" the Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast roared.

Seeing his wife, who was beaten to the point of near death, the immortal purple cocoon beast was clearly furious.

Zhen Che gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "I'll cover your retreat, you guys run!" His eyes revealed determination, knowing that with his strength he might be able to buy Li Er and Zhen Yan a chance to escape.

Li Er and Zhen Yan exclaimed simultaneously, "Zhen Che, no!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhen Che unleashed all his strength to erect a defensive shield outside the spaceship, and then resolutely charged towards the immortal behemoth.

His figure appeared so small in front of the giant beast, but his eyes were incredibly firm.

"Zhen Che!" Li Er shouted angrily. He wanted to rush out and fight alongside Zhen Che, but Zhen Yan grabbed him.

"Calm down! Going out now is just suicide. We must find a way to preserve our strength!" Zhen Yan's voice was almost a roar, and tears were glistening in his eyes, but he knew clearly that acting impulsively at this moment would be futile.

Li Er watched helplessly as Zhen Che charged toward the immortal beast, his heart filled with pain and self-reproach.

Zhen Che unleashed various sword techniques to attack the behemoth, but against the immortal behemoth, his attacks were like an ant trying to shake a tree, achieving very little effect.

With a gentle flick of its claw, the giant beast neutralized Zhen Che's attack, then slapped him across the face.

Zhenche was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the giant beast. His body flew backward like a cannonball and crashed heavily into an asteroid in the starry sky, which instantly turned into dust.

……

"No!" Zhenyan roared in despair, his eyes turning blood red in an instant. He broke free from Li Er's restraints and charged towards the immortal beast.

Li Er was also furious, but reason told him that he could not stop Zhen Yan at this moment. He could only control the spaceship and follow behind Zhen Yan, ready to provide support at the critical moment.

Zhen Yan charged toward the immortal behemoth like a maddened cheetah.

He transformed his inner pain and anger into power, and the power of the world gathered wildly in his hands, coalescing on his blade.

He brandished his broadsword, slashing fiercely at the giant beast, each strike imbued with all his power and determination.

The Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast sensed Zhen Yan's attack, turned its head slightly, and revealed a hint of disdain in its eyes.

The latest novel is first published here!

It opened its mouth again and spewed out an even more powerful energy wave, which blasted towards Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yan neither dodged nor evaded, taking the blow head-on. His body was sent flying by the energy wave, but he managed to stabilize himself in mid-air and charged towards the giant beast again.

At this point, Li Er could only control the spaceship and use its powerful firepower to attack the behemoth's side in an attempt to distract it.

However, the Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast's defenses were too strong, and the spaceship's attacks could only leave some insignificant marks on its body.

In the fierce battle, Zhenyan gradually fell into a predicament.

His strength was constantly being depleted, and he was injured in many places, but his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of backing down.

"Zhenyan, this can't go on, we have to find a way to get out!" Li Er shouted anxiously.

A thought struck Zhenyan: he remembered that during previous battles, he had noticed brief energy fluctuations when the Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast launched certain powerful attacks.

He decided to take the risk.

He deliberately created an opening to lure the Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast into launching a full-scale attack.

The Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast was indeed fooled. It gathered all its power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Zhen Yan.

Just as the behemoth launched its attack, Zhen Yan keenly sensed the gap in energy fluctuations. He unleashed the most powerful sword technique of his life, displaying unparalleled speed, and instantly appeared behind the behemoth.

Then, he gathered all the remaining power of the world into one point and slashed at the back of the behemoth.

With this attack, Zhen Yan used all his strength, and his broadsword slammed into the giant beast's back.

The Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast let out an angry roar.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Er maneuvered the spaceship to Zhen Yan's side, opened the hatch, and shouted, "Zhen Yan, come on up!"

Zhen Yan hesitated for a moment. Looking at the almost unharmed Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast, a sense of unwillingness welled up in his heart.

But he also knew that with their current strength, they were simply no match for them.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and jumped into the spaceship.

The spaceship quickly started up and fled the battlefield like a streak of light.

"Hmph, you two are lucky. This dead kid still had a genetic material in his hands, which is enough for us. I'll let you go for now!" The Immortal Purple Cocoon Beast said, holding Zhen Che's World Ring.

Li Er gazed at the immortal behemoth gradually disappearing into the distance outside the window, his heart filled with pain and self-reproach.

He knew that Zhenche had sacrificed himself for them, and he would remember this kindness forever.

Zhen Yan silently piloted the spaceship without saying a word.

His heart was also filled with grief, but he understood that they had to live in order to have a chance to revive Jinche.

The spaceship sailed alone in the universe, and Li Er and Zhen Yan's mood was as heavy and oppressive as the cold space.

They knew that reviving Jinche would be far more difficult than they had imagined.
