Chapter 679: Chapter 421: Star Realm! Chishan, It Seems Your Luck Is a Bit Unfortunate!

Lu Xuan moved like lightning, distancing himself from Sui Jing Street with a few leaps and bounds; he finally stopped in a ruined industrial area that had been ravaged by crimson monsters.

This used to be an important manufacturing center for Tobek City, but now only shattered walls and rust-covered steel structures remained.

The air was filled with the smell of rust and a faint odor of decay, but under the purification of starlight surrounding Lu Xuan, these foul odors could not come near at all.

He chose a relatively intact factory building, where the view was wide and he could overlook the surroundings.

As Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, the scattered rubble around him was pushed away by an invisible force, forming a perfect circular domain.

In the next second, Lu Xuan slowly closed his eyes, the starlight swirling around him gradually restrained, fully integrating him into this wasteland, except for the vague pressure that scared off mutant rat packs peeking out from the ruins.

Host: Red Dust Immortal Lu Xuan (Sixth Generation)

Realm: Fiery Sun Realm (Full Completion)

Cultivation Technique: Celestial Star Eyes (6/9) can be deduced

Points: 1000

Please confirm, do you want to consume 999 system points to deduce Celestial Star Eyes!

"Deduce."

At the movement of Lu Xuan’s mind, the system points were instantly reduced by 999 points.

The moment the numbers changed, the golden little figure deep in his sea of consciousness suddenly radiated brilliantly.

The surrounding reality completely dissolved, and his consciousness was pulled into an endless, boundless cosmic dark space.

Vast nebulae slowly rotated, black holes swallowed light from afar, comets dragged their dazzling flames across the eternal darkness.

The sun, moon, and stars were not stationary, but were moving in trajectories containing supreme principles, each flicker emiting profound brilliance, as if explaining the ultimate truth of the universe’s life and death.

At the core of this astral sea, a pair of boundless eyes were gradually taking shape.

They were pure and flawless, transcending the realm of flesh, the whites of the eyes were filled with nebulous clouds, and the pupils were swirling galaxies.

Each point of starry light within represented a world being born or perishing.

These eyes were devoid of any emotion, possessing only absolute reason and insight, like the god of creation gazing upon the things he made at the dawn of creation.

Holy, majestic, impossible to look upon directly.

The sheer existence contained an indescribable divine pressure.

Lu Xuan’s consciousness was immersed in the gaze of these eyes, and all previously gained insights into "Celestial Star Eyes" were being deconstructed, reorganized, sublimated.

Time quietly slipped by during the waiting, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed.

About sixty kilometers outside the Ninth Safety Zone, lay a barren area covered in sandy soil.

The dry wind occasionally stirred yellow sand, forming short-lived sand curtains.

In this barren land, the temporary camps of the Ninth Guard Group and base army had already been established; hundreds of military tents were orderly arranged, surrounded by simple defensive structures.

Inside the central command tent, Gao Zheng had just finished listening to the base commander’s supply report.

Not needing to say more, he understood the current predicament from the commander’s hesitant expression.

"Three days." Gao Zheng spoke steadily, "Our military supplies won’t hold out for much longer,

Sim Plan, send a message to Vice Captain Lu, telling him we’re starting the clearing task as originally planned."

Everyone in the tent’s expressions became serious.

They understood that the Captain had made a decision — they couldn’t risk the entire mission by waiting for one person.

The Empire’s mission must continue.

"Eradication operation, begin!"

Gao Zheng ordered, his undeniable voice echoing clearly in the tent.

The base commander, upon hearing this, immediately showed a relieved expression.

He had already waited anxiously for three days — this time he personally led over two thousand elite soldiers from the base into this dangerous land, and every day’s delay meant enormous risks.

As the highest person in charge at the base, the commander had to consider not only food and supply consumption but also be responsible for every soldier’s life safety.

The longer they stayed on the wasteland outside the safety zone, the more danger from crimson monsters or crimson defectors they faced.

His creed was simple: once leaving the safety zone for a mission, they must wrap up quickly, complete the task with the highest efficiency, and ensure everyone returned alive.

Now, there was no longer a need to wait.

Five kilometers away, an eerie area unfolded before their eyes.

The ground was littered with ghastly white bones, including remains of various mutated creatures, mixed with unidentifiable ancient fossils.

The sandy soil continuously emitted teeth-grinding "sizzling" sounds, as if something was endlessly writhing beneath.

This was the target of the cleanup mission — the deep red worm horde.

These creatures were an ominous blood-red throughout, with no obvious limbs, resembling enormous worms.

Each one was over eight meters long, with the most horrific part being their head — spiral-shaped like some terrifying drill, and more bizarrely, each worm had three such heads.

At that moment, these deep red worm monsters were tirelessly gnawing at the various remains on the ground with their spiral heads filled with sharp teeth, producing chilling friction sounds.

They gathered together, like a turbulent crimson tide.

Suddenly, one worm raised its monstrous triple head abruptly, its hollow sense organs "gazing" blankly toward a distant high slope.

And in that instant —

A scorching fire streak tore through the sky, hitting the most central of its heads with supersonic precision!

"Splatter!"
