Chapter 686 - 423: Killing My Way from Desert to Wasteland Without Even Blinking! (Part 2)

Chapter 686: Chapter 423: Killing My Way from Desert to Wasteland Without Even Blinking! (Part 2)

The purple light was so unusual, it seemed to dye the entire sky purple.

"Screech——!"

At this moment, the white-haired elderly man instinctively slammed on the brakes, the tires skidding two deep marks into the sand.

The inside of the car was instantly thrown into chaos, everyone was tossed around by the sudden braking.

"Damn! Old Man Feng, are you crazy?" The middle-aged man in the passenger seat slammed face-first into the windshield, a large bump instantly forming on his forehead.

Rubbing his sore spot, he glared angrily at the old man. "If you had knocked me senseless, would you take care of me for the rest of my life?"

But Old Man Feng was beyond explanations, he quickly got out of the car.

The three female soldiers in the backseat also simultaneously opened the car doors, standing dumbfounded on the sand, gazing at the sky.

Only then did the middle-aged man remember the scene he had just witnessed.

Enduring his pain, he rolled and stumbled out of the vehicle. When he lifted his head, he was frozen in place.

Above the city, a pair of gigantic eyes formed by brilliant starlight spanned the sky, each gaze glowing with the power of the dazzling starry sky.

Those purple eyes were so enormous, it was as if they could encompass the entire Xuguang City.

What was even more astounding was a figure standing virtually at the center of these gigantic purple eyes.

Lu Xuan, clad in the dazzling gold and white Sun and Moon battle suit, his robes gently fluttering in the breeze.

A soft purple aura encircled him, like an immortal descending into the mortal realm, complemented by the starry sky’s giant eyes.

"This... This is..." Old Man Feng finally found his voice, but could only utter fragmented syllables.

He had lived most of his life, yet had never seen such an awe-inspiring sight.

The howls of the deep red monsters had unknowingly vanished, and under the gaze of those starry eyes, the entire world seemed to come to a standstill.

Old Man Feng’s clouded eyes widened sharply, "It’s the Empire... the Empire’s starry warrior!"

"We are saved!!!"

He almost shouted these words in a near-sobbing ecstasy.

To those exiles surviving outside the Peaceful District, the "Empire’s starry warrior" had long become a distant legend.

Within the Peaceful District, people enjoyed order and peace.

But outside the safety zones, these abandoned survivors could only hide in the dense mountains like mice, struggling to survive between ruins and darkness, evading the deep red monsters’ hunts day and night.

For so many years, they had already grown accustomed to a forgotten fate.

But now—

The unexpected arrival of this starry warrior, along with the purple brilliance of those indifferent eyes overlooking the world, undoubtedly proclaimed a fact.

The Sun and Moon Empire, had never truly abandoned this land.

However, reality was always cruel.

Old Man Feng was mistaken; he thought too optimistically.

The Sun and Moon Empire had already completely abandoned everything outside the safety zones.

The so-called "territories" and "citizens" were merely a grey area marked out with a red pen on the map of the Sun and Moon royal court.

Because Lu Xuan’s arrival here was not for rescue, nor was it for salvation.

He was merely hunting.

Hunting those "preys" exuding deep red aura, harvesting those which could be converted into system points as "resources".

This encounter, for the moment, was just a coincidence, a chance passing by.

"Is this it?"

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, his Star Realm perception swiftly unfolded, covering the entire Xuguang City in an instant.

Within the radius of several tens of kilometers, apart from the few surviving stunned figures before him and the jeep still racing away in the distance, no more auras of deep red monsters could be sensed.

Desolate, deathly silent, sparse indeed.

Host: Red Dust Immortal Lu Xuan (Sixth Cycle)

Realm: Star Realm (Minor Accomplishment)

Cultivation Technique: Celestial Eyes of the Stars (8/9)

Points: 85001

Wiping out that group of deep red monsters just now only yielded a mere five thousand points.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes, then he glanced down at the survivors beneath him.

The hunt was over, it was time to leave.

Everyone looked up at the divine-like figure in the sky, filled with an indescribable sense of shock.

Just moments ago, those deep red monsters which had pushed them to their limits, forcing them into desperate resistance, were as helpless as ants under the gaze of those purple celestial eyes.

Amidst the flowing purple starlight in the sky, those deep red monsters didn’t even have time to scream before they turned into scattered ash, dissipating with the wind.

Old Man Feng’s legs grew weak, nearly collapsing to his knees.

However, just as Lu Xuan was about to turn and leave, the immensely excited elder snapped back to reality—he remembered something more important than life itself.

Seeing Lu Xuan about to leave, Old Man Feng hurriedly staggered forward, desperately shouting, "My lord! Please wait! We are citizens of the Sun and Moon Empire, we implore you to hear us out!"

He hastened his speech, trembling as he pointed southeast, "Thirty kilometers from our gathering place, an enormous crimson egg appeared,

it grows daily, now almost the size of a small mountain, and countless deep red monsters have gathered around it, we cannot get close at all."

"Inside that red egg, it’s like the heartbeat of a living being."

"We are certain something terrible is being nurtured within it, once hatched, not only will we survivors find no refuge, but even the Empire’s safe zones will face catastrophic impact!"

The words "deep red monster" seemed to flip a switch, and Lu Xuan’s figure vanished instantly, only to reappear ghost-like before Old Man Feng in the next moment.

Old Man Feng’s further pleas caught in his throat as his vision blurred.

"Lead the way."

No extra words were spoken; in the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan had grabbed Old Man Feng by the collar.

As purple starlight flowed around them, the two figures turned into a fleeting shadow, zipping across the ruins to disappear beyond the horizon.

Leaving behind a group of stupefied survivors in their wake.

????

Suspended in midair, Old Man Feng was held by Lu Xuan as the wind whistled past, the ground retreating rapidly beneath them, Xuguang City quickly became a speck on the horizon.

Though the turn of events was completely beyond his anticipation, Old Man Feng felt no fear at this moment—should the starry warrior of the Empire interfere, perhaps the gathering place could indeed be saved!

"Which direction?"

A distant query came from above, snapping Old Man Feng back to his senses, and he hurriedly pointed southeast, "Over there! At your speed, my lord, it should take about 20 minutes to see it!"

As he looked at the barren plains passing below, he couldn’t help recalling the reason for this venture.

It was due to that relentless expanding red egg that these survivors dared to risk it all, venturing into the deep red monster-infested Xuguang City, seeking the Empire’s abandoned star maps and star stones.

These precious resources would not only aid their migration to safer zones but were also the only hope for the younger generation of survivors to harness star power and resist the deep red corruption.

Being carried by Lu Xuan, feeling the pure star power circulating around him, Old Man Feng was filled with indescribable awe.

As a star warrior of the Star Realm, he knew better than anyone—that such effortless levitation indicated at least a terrifying existence of the Fiery Sun Realm!

True enough, as they drew nearer, the distance closed, the scene became clearer.

A towering deep crimson egg stood on the barren plains, its surface covered in twisted vein-like patterns, subtly pulsating with an eerie rhythm.

Around the red egg, hundreds of deep red monsters gathered, encircling it as if in worship.

And most unnerving of all, were the four figures guarding the innermost circle of the egg.

A monstrous bird with a wingspan over fifteen meters, with dark red scales covering its bony wings.

A gigantic deer with ten twisted horns, each tip glinting with a menacing black light.

A mutated worm over thirty meters in diameter, its surface perpetually secreting corrosive slime.

And a creature resembling a lynx, its mouth filled with saw-like fangs, dripping with dark green saliva.

The aura radiated by these four deep red monsters was far more terrifying than the lackey sentries on the periphery.
