Chapter 513. The Contaminated Celestial, A Forceful Attack
"At a time like this... Why would powerful experts come to my Thunderflash Starfield?"
At the discovery, the Celestial frowned slightly, his solemn expression tinged with a trace of worry. Of course, he was not worried for himself. He was only afraid that the plan would be exposed and ruined.
Following the black-robed man's order, he stood there and waited for the intruders to approach. He had already made his decision. No matter who it was, if there was an opportunity, he would kill all of them
Soon, several figures appeared in the void.
They were none other than Lu Yuan and the others. They swept their gazes over the surrounding magma and volcanoes before finally looking toward the altar that had already collapsed.
"I can sense that the altar seems to have carried countless lives, densely packed, too many to count." Jiang Ningxian's eyes were filled with shock as she continued, "Could all the beings of this planet have died here?"
It was no wonder she had such a thought. They had traveled through many places, but in the end, they had not found a single living creature.
More importantly, the aura of living beings could be sensed on the altar, but all those beings were already dead.
With Jiang Ningxian's cultivation at the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm, it was easy for her to understand many things.
"Your guess may be right. The beings of this planet seem to have all been sacrificed. Also, I sensed the aura of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons here, and it is extremely dense," Lu Yuan also commented with a solemn expression.
The power of Providence was exceptionally sensitive to the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.
Even though the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon had already left some time ago, Lu Yuan could still detect its traces. Judging by the current situation, it was the one who had acted against the beings of this planet.
And...
Just as Lu Yuan was deep in though, a rumble sounded.
Thunder appeared in the void, and a figure walked out from within the altar. He had wings on his back, lightning coiled around him, and the aura he emitted was extremely dense.
He had actually reached the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm.
Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong froze. The siblings could naturally tell that this was a Celestial.
Although the Celestials ranked among the top hundred starfields, Grotto-Heaven Immortals were still very rare among them and were considered high-level figures. This place was still extremely far from the Celestial Star.
Furthermore, they knew a little about what had happened on the Celestial Star. Logically speaking, a Celestial of this level should not appear here.
Jiang Ningxian immediately wanted to say something but Lu Yuan stopped her and said softly, "This person has been contaminated by the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.
"And it is much denser than what was on the Eternals and Ji Clan members. If my guess is correct, he has already submitted to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons."
His words instantly shocked everyone beside him.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the Celestial took a step forward, and the lightning coiling around him turned black.
He stood there, releasing killing intent so intense it had almost reached its limit, and slowly said, "No matter who you are or where you came from, since you have appeared here, then... forget about leaving."
As his voice fell, the void shook. Enormous bolts of lightning rumbled in succession, resounding through the sky. Even the surrounding stars were affected and trembled continuously.
More importantly, those bolts of lightning had also turned black. The planet seemed to have turned into an apocalyptic hellscape; it was extremely terrifying.
The aura and power displayed by the Celestial before them were both extremely formidable.
Even Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong's expressions changed. The Jiang siblings were true geniuses. Even if they were not invincible among their peers, within the same realm, even in the Immortal Realm, they would definitely surpass most others.
Yet now, even the two of them were shaken.
This did not seem like power a Grotto-Heaven Immortal should be able to emit.
The Jiang Clan members behind them had also gone slightly pale.
"He accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. He is no longer someone you can deal with. Let me handle him."
Lu Yuan stepped forward. He had no intention of wasting words with the Celestial before him.
An entire planet's population had likely been sacrificed. Whether or not it had anything to do with him, anyone would be enraged by something like this.
Of course, Lu Yuan also did not want to waste any more time. He had to find out exactly what was going on.
As his voice fell, he stepped forward, and a powerful aura surged out from within him.
This was no longer Earth, and there were no living creatures here. Lu Yuan had no intention of holding back. Majestic power erupted from his body.
Rumble.
Under that power, the volcanoes below erupted.
Opposite him, the Celestial merely smiled. His wings trembled, and for a moment, wind and clouds surged.
Bolts of thunder appeared in the sky, stretching for who knew how many thousands of miles before cleaving down.
Lu Yuan did not even look at them. He threw a punch and shattered the countless bolts of thunder, then appeared before the Celestial.
Neither party said anything more. They used their respective methods, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged hundreds of punches.
Every punch contained terrifying power, shaking the mountains and rivers below. The earth split open, countless crisscrossing cracks spreading across it. It was as if even the planet's crust had been shaken.
Mountains and rivers collapsed.
Countless streams of magma surged up from the planet's core, sending the temperature of the entire planet straight to several thousand degrees.
Even the clouds were dyed blood red. If the scene before had been apocalyptic, then now, the entire world had become hell, with heaven collapsing and earth splitting in the truest sense of those words.
If one looked from space, one would discover that the planet itself had cracked and could explode at any moment.
"Let's wait in space for now. This place no longer has any living beings and is no longer protected by the laws of the universe. If the battle continues, they will probably destroy the entire planet soon enough," Jiang Ningxian said, instructing everyone to head into space first.
Truth be told, if such a great battle had taken place on an Earth without life, the result would have been the same.
The Jiang siblings led everyone straight into space. They also understood that it was best not to interfere in the battle to come.
Rumble.
Meanwhile, the battle still continued below.
After the Celestial accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, his own strength had risen by a large margin. Calling him invincible within the same realm would not be much of an exaggeration.
In this universe, there were probably not many who could suppress him.
The problem was that he had encountered Lu Yuan.
