Boom!
Another several thousand meters long blood rainbow violently hacked onto the lake. The massive energy cage in the lake collapsed, sending water columns into the air while billions of light dots bloomed.
Many guards of Potion and Tool Pavilion were enraged. They cursed while dashing toward Shi Yan.
Another space node was destroyed as Shi Yan wore a savage countenance. He was so indignant that his flame of anger could shoot into the sky. He was outraged because the Potion and Tool Pavilion didn't know anything but was still so stubborn. He couldn't help but face the sky and roar. A flow of blood aura rocketed to the air like a massive blood dragon.
The garnet eyes on the sword in his hand opened continually, diffusing the evil aura onto the entire surface of the life star.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh
The red eyes in the sword could feel his murderous aura. They flew out of the sword, turning into the images of ferocious demons. They had fangs and scary countenances, as well as pairs of wings on their backs. Their empty eyes let out bloodthirsty gleams like ferocious flaming balls.
The blood flaming ghosts moved like butterflies gliding above the lake as they gathered like blood colored currents of a massive flood.
Dozens of Potion and Tool Pavilion's warriors stormed towards Shi Yan when their soul altars were shaken all of a sudden. A strange pain stung their brain as the evil energy had invaded their Sea of Consciousness, causing an immense pain.
The blood currents extended like longswords, moving continually. They weaved into a blood net, which was some kind of a barrier.
Around that large blood barrier, the negative emotion including fear, bloodlust, despair, brutality, and madness, which often hid deep in the bottom of people's hearts, were all arisen. Warriors of the Potion and Tool Pavilion couldn't control their souls, as if they were under a malicious spell
For the time being, all the warriors attacking Shi Yan halted in the air. Their empty eyes looked exactly the same with those gliding flaming ghosts.
It was the signal when the soul was invaded!
In the middle of the lake, the massive energy cage collapsed, stirring up water in the lake. The attacking energy rushed directly to the main hall.
The main hall was shaken rumblingly as though it was about to shatter. Bettina, Zha Duo, Fu Wei, and Xia Xin Yan were talking inside the hall when their visages changed dramatically. They recognized the pressure and couldn't help but look up.
Zha Duo wore a cold face, extending his hand and touching the void in the dome above their heads. A small, open space appeared like a bright mirror. They immediately saw Shi Yan holding a massive sword, looking like a demon.
At this moment, his murderous aura was shooting up into the sky. His eyes were both garnet like two drops of blood. The energy in his body was chillingly evil, as though he wanted to imprison every creature in this world into the endless space of Death.
"Holy sh*t! That kid's crazy!" Zha Duo couldn't help but curse. "He dares to make a move in our Potion and Tool Pavilion. He doesn't know how high the sky is! I'm going to kill him!"
Bettina also wore a cold face. Her anger towards Shi Yan had reached her bones as she said coldly. "Dare to swagger in our Potion and Tool Pavilion? Even Blood Devil can't protect him this time."
She apparently agreed with Zha Duo's decision.
Fu Wei paled, looking at Shi Yan who was crazy at this moment. She didn't know what to do in this situation. Her bright eyes were filled with worries.
However, Xia Xin Yan, who had just chatted happily with Bettina and Zha Duo, had her bold eyebrows knitted tight. She coldly glared at the other two and quietly flew up. She pierced through the barrier above their heads, getting out of the lake.
A one thousand meters long blood light column slashed down. It had aimed at the lake, but changed the direction in midway. Shortly, it rumblingly hit an empty battleship anchored by the lake. The one-thousand-meters long battleship was like a loaf of tofu under the blood light. It was halved, with the cut surface as flat and smooth as a mirror.
Xia Xin Yan's beautiful eyes were confused as she hovered above the lake, calling him. "What's wrong?"
"Come with me!" Shi Yan with his murderous aura floated in the center of the blood net. He hurried to switch his powers Upanishads. The space slits appeared and gathered, creating a space tunnel above his head. He looked at Xia Xin Yan and said, "I don't have extra time to explain. We should move first!"
Xia Xin Yan was baffled. She hesitated for a second but didn't say anything, and just nodded. She was about to get into the space tunnel.
Many Potion and Tool Pavilion's guards hovering around were dumbstruck. They didn't know why their distinguished guest listened to that madman. She didn't even clarify the situation before she decided to leave with Shi Yan.
At that moment, Xia Xin Yan wholeheartedly trusted Shi Yan. Shi Yan felt warm, as his surging, brutal mind gradually calmed down.
However, an incident happened shortly after!
When Xia Xin Yan was about to get into the space tunnel, the space tunnel created by Shi Yan's space power suddenly twisted and exploded. The sharp beams of space energy were shot out everywhere. Shi Yan's space tunnel was shattered in just a blink.
Zha Duo's face was icy cold. He appeared by the tunnel all of a sudden. His eyes were dark and harsh. "You think you can come and leave our Potion and Tool Pavilion's base that easily? A little warrior at Original God Realm using space power to create the tunnel in front of me... You don't know how high the sky is, do you?"
He used the same Space power to crush the tunnel Shi Yan's had created. Xia Xin Yan had to hover in the air.
Shi Yan had just calmed his mood, but now was enraged again. And this time, it was extreme. He burst out the negative energy in his entire body as if he were actually out of his mind. The sharp sword in his hand slashed the void, as countless blood shadows expanded, surrounding Zha Duo.
Shi Yan suddenly felt another space node being smashed down. At this moment, the space nodes around this life star number nine were completely dysfunctional!
This also meant the other had completed blockading the life star, and Zha Duo had smashed Shi Yan's last chance to escape. It combusted his raging flame. The blood sword swayed in his hand, sending negative energy to fill up Zha Duo's soul area like a real sea.
Zha Duo's cold face seemed confused. He frowned, as if he had to struggle in pain.
Swish!
A blood light drew in the sky with a marvelous trajectory and perfect curve. It seemed about to halve Zha Duo's God Body.
Bettina and Fu Wei emerged from the lake. When they looked up, they saw the idle Zha Duo. The blood light would chop him off in the next second, c causing them to pale in fright.
They could never imagine Shi Yan had such power to take over Zha Duo's mind, make him discolor, and not have the ability to even parry.
"Don't!"
Xia Xin Yan was also frightened as she hurried to make some hand seals. Her energy fluctuated magically as if it could stop time. The blood light column that was about to cut Zha Duo was slowed down strangely, and everybody else was also affected. They were slowed down as their time was controlled.
Even Shi Yan wasn't an exception. He felt that the time moved so slow, while his surging energy reduced.
Only Xia Xin Yan wasn't affected. Her graceful body swayed and hurried to pull Zha Duo out of the danger zone.
Swish!
The blood light column resumed its real speed, striking down like lightning. However, Zha Duo had disappeared. The blood light fell on the lake and separated the water. The power of this slash was earth-shaking indeed.
"What happened?" Xia Xin Yan screamed. Her voice had something magical that woke up Shi Yan in his madness as if he had a bucket of ice water pouring on his head.
Warriors of the Potion and Tool Pavilion gathered, surrounding him in layers. Bettina and Fu Wei were still frightened. They hadn't recovered yet, standing by Zha Duo. Zha Duo was still dizzy, struggling in his mind.
Bettina had a bad grimace. She turned to glare at Fu Wei. "Is this the friend you say? You have to explain this to me!"
Fu Wei's blue eyes were full of confusion. She stood baffled, not knowing what to say.
"Kill him!" Bettina ordered, her voice cold.
Warriors of Potion and Tool Pavilion gathered. They were all enraged and wanted to slaughter him. At this moment, Xia Xin Yan suddenly shouted ear-splittingly. She let out a clear, gentle whistle.
Giant battleships marched from the dark clouds of the life star number nine and gathered like the dark clouds by Xia Xin Yan. She said with a cold face that reflected no other emotion. "Whoever dares to touch him will be my archenemy!"
Bettina and Fu Wei were shocked, and even the warriors of Windstorm didn't have a clue. They all wore a baffled face.
Zha Duo woke up as his mind wasn't occupied anymore. He gasped for his breath, shouting. "Kill that brat!"
Xia Xin Yan fixed her cold eyes on Zha Duo, talking slowly, "If you move, I'll kill you!"
Everybody was startled.
"You! Why do you need to protect him?" Bettina was shaken, but she seemed to get it. "You... you guys... You've known each other before?"
"Yeah. He's a friend from my homeland." Xia Xin Yan took a deep breath. Still wearing a cold complexion, she asked quietly, "Shi Yan, what has happened?"
The last space node was broken, and Shi Yan knew that his plan was no longer feasible. His eyes recovered their original color as he retrieved the blood sword, sighing. "Zha Duo, you try to sense the changes of the space nodes around this planet."
Zha Duo looked icy cold as he released his Soul Consciousness. Immediately, he felt like he had just fallen into an ice chamber. He couldn't help but shiver.
"What's happened?" Bettina was astounded.
"All the space nodes around the life star number nine have been destroyed! We lost the connection to the world outside! I can't take you guys out of here," Zha Duo said with a trembling voice. "Someone wants to eradicate us."
After he said that, everybody fell into a terrible crisis. They looked at the sky and felt the invisible pressure, which was approaching like an imposing mountain.
"He destroyed the last space channel I built. We... can't leave either." Shi Yan shook his head while talking to Xia Xin Yan, his face dispirited.
Everybody finally understood why Shi Yan had acted crazily.
"Open all the defensive barriers! Prepare for a bloody battle!" Bettina pondered for a few seconds and then pitched her voice. Suddenly, she had a scepter in her hand, using it to poke the air and release hundreds of dim blue, dark green, and orange-red lightning strikes towards every corner of the star.
The dim, gray surface of the planet now had three light curtains in dim blue, dark green, and red-orange hues, which looked like three different seas. They layered together, beginning to protect the entire planet.
