Chapter 681 - 421: Star Realm! Chishan, It Seems Your Luck Is a Bit Unfortunate!

Chapter 681: Chapter 421: Star Realm! Chishan, It Seems Your Luck Is a Bit Unfortunate!

Its proudly resilient shell was riddled with countless horrifying blood holes, with many parts barely held together by the remaining strands of flesh, the massive body seemingly on the verge of completely falling apart at any moment.

"Damn beast, still pretty tough!"

The burly man spat, his eyes suddenly sharp.

The silhouette of the Bright Moon within him suddenly burst forth with a dazzling, eye-catching moonlit brilliance.

Vast star power poured out unreservedly, a full burst of the Bright Moon Realm!

"Tiger Roar Across the Starry Sky!"

With the burly man’s shout, a colossal earth-yellow tiger head phantom condensed in the air, its ferocious aura instantly shrouding the entire hillside.

The phantom, carrying the momentum to tear apart the earth, pounced towards the broken crimson worm.

"Boom——!"

Under the overwhelming pressure of the tiger head phantom, the crimson worm didn’t even make a final struggle; its massive body was forcefully crushed and exploded!

Viscous blood and flesh sprayed out radially, staining the ground within tens of meters around into a mess.

Dust settled.

The battle intent on the burly man’s face slowly faded, replaced by an unmistakable fatigue.

The full power strike just now consumed nearly half of the star power within him.

Leaning on the shotgun, he was slightly panting, adjusting the slightly chaotic aura within him.

This is precisely why even powerful Bright Moon Realm star warriors must rely on modern thermal weapons when clearing large swarms of crimson monsters.

If relying solely on their own star power to battle tens of thousands of insect swarms.

Even if every Bright Moon Realm warrior’s star radiance was completely drained, it might not even eliminate a fraction of them.

The power of the individual ultimately seems insignificant in the face of such large-scale warfare.

Efficient, persistent thermal weapons that can preserve the star warrior’s strength to the maximum become the optimal solution to deal with this war of attrition.

They are responsible for "cleansing" and "clearing the field," while the star warriors focus on dealing with those truly powerful targets beyond ordinary firepower’s ability to handle.

At this moment, Gao Zheng’s figure soared into the air, stepping onto the void.

His loud voice, amplified by starlight, was clearly transmitted to every corner of the battlefield.

"Everyone listen up! From now on, follow the predetermined plan, divide into four combat squads, advance outward in a fan shape, and patrol all areas within a hundred kilometer radius!"

This is the standard procedure for the Empire’s army after field battles—post-war clearance.

After each successful elimination of a large group of crimson monsters, the surrounding area must be thoroughly patrolled to ensure no remnants are lurking, preventing them from resurrecting and forming new sources of pollution or monster nests.

Only after confirming that this area has been completely purified without any hidden dangers can the army break camp and triumphantly return to the city.

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan, closed off in the ruins, remains unaware of all that is happening on the battlefield.

Unaware, too, that the source of the "system points" he longs for has been completely eradicated.

At the next moment, Lu Xuan slowly opens his eyes, as if star clouds rotate and extinguish within the depths, adding an unprecedented depth and mystery.

Specks of starlight naturally surround his pupils, as if a miniature universe had been incorporated into his eyes.

Host: Red Dust Immortal Lu Xuan (Sixth Life)

Realm: Star Realm (Initial Entry)

Cultivation Technique: Zhou Tian Star Eyes 7/9

Points: 1

A breakthrough has been made.

Lu Xuan has finally taken this crucial step, moving from the Fiery Sun Realm perfection into the mysterious and powerful Star Realm!

Within him, the once blistering Fiery Sun silhouette has disappeared.

Replaced by an infinite miniature Star Realm slowly rotating.

Countless stars rise and fall within it, containing star power far more vast and primal than a single Fiery Sun.

Now, Lu Xuan can directly mobilize the power of this internal Star Realm during battles.

With a wave of his hand, he can invoke Star Power, far surpassing before, achieving true annihilation.

More importantly, his reserve of power has leaped qualitatively; although not achieving the theoretical "inexhaustible," its vastness is unimaginable compared to the Fiery Sun Realm.

Of course, the so-called "limitless power" is ultimately an exaggerated description.

Even a Star Realm expert, if recklessly squandering, his Star Realm source will eventually deplete.

However, for most beings in this world, perhaps they could not witness the moment when Lu Xuan’s power runs out in their lifetime.

"Hehehe... Chen Hu, that boor, still as arrogant as he ever was, really... makes one envious."

Approximately thirty kilometers away from the earlier battlefield, in a concealed mountain depression, the burly Chen Hu was personally leading a squad for patrol.

But he was completely unaware.

A few kilometers away, a figure completely blended with the sandy environment was greedily and viciously eyeing his strong, lively body.

It was Chi Shan!

His crimson tongue licked over sharp teeth, forcefully restraining the impulse to rush in and devour.

"Old Gao Zheng is still around... forget it." Chi Shan suppressed his boiling killing intent, sneering coldly within.

"Someday, I will devour these imperial lackeys one by one!

And those high and mighty wastes in the Sun and Moon Palace will eventually be on my plate too!"

Then, another figure that he hated to the core surfaced in his mind.

"And that damn Lu Xuan! That pompous bastard... where has he gone?"

Upon thinking of Lu Xuan, a subtle fear momentarily overshadowed the greed, flashing within his eyes.

This guy gave him a sense of danger far stronger than old Gao Zheng!

"Oh? Are you looking for me?"

A voice, plain with a hint of amusement, sounded untimely behind Chi Shan.

Chi Shan’s massive body stiffened suddenly; he slowly turned, only to see Lu Xuan standing quietly not far away.

His Sun and Moon battle robe was spotless, observing his ugly and twisted form with interest.

"Chi Shan, long time no see." Lu Xuan’s lips curled into a faint playful smile, "In such a hurry to find me, are you blaming me... for not bringing a welcoming gift when meeting you?"

Upon exiting seclusion, Lu Xuan rushed to the battlefield, only to find the crimson monster horde completely wiped out.

Lu Xuan was feeling a hint of disappointment but casually extended the newly formed Star Realm’s perception, capturing a familiar aura that surprised him.

If it had been before the breakthrough, with Chi Shan’s practiced concealment, Lu Xuan would never have detected him so easily.

Then, Lu Xuan’s gaze swept over Chi Shan’s body, slightly trembling from fear, shaking his head gently with a tone of pity.

"It seems your luck... is not looking good."
