Chapter 1007: The Battle at the Luape Volcanic Spring (Conclusion) - The Skrel's Counterattack
Due to a miscalculation, the Skrel lost eight of their Sixth-Rank powerhouses.
However, because the spatial rift was very close, the others managed to escape and return to their home planet.
Watching the Skrel disappear into the spatialrift, Su Yu felt utterly helpless. He couldn't follow them, could he? On the other side of the spatialrift lay the enemy's stronghold!
The Skrel base on the ground erupted with explosions as all critical facilities, including various laser weapons and antimatter railguns, self-destructed.
The explosions sent sparks flying, igniting the base and turning it into a sea of flames.
Without hesitation, Su Yu cast the Rainstorm Spell.
Dark, ominous clouds rapidly gathered beneath him, and a torrential downpour began to pour down, the large raindrops forming a curtain of water to douse the fires on the ground.
But just as the Rainstorm Spell was taking shape, Su Yu's pupils suddenly constricted, his gaze fixed on a building below.
Not only Su Yu, but also the cat Chenxing and the venerable Yang Jian noticed the anomaly in the building, their gazes converging on it.
This building was located at the very center of the base and was the largest structure—the Spirit Energy Collection Plant.
At the center of the plant stood the largest model of an anti-gravity crystal drill.
Su Yu, Yang Jian, and Chenxing's gazes focused here because they sensed a terrifying surge of spirit energy emanating from inside!
Su Yu quickly used his mental power to probe the interior.
Upon entering, he discovered that the top of the anti-gravity crystal drill was storing a massive amount of compressed spirit energy!
Moreover, the anti-gravity crystal drill was shaking violently, seemingly on the verge of exploding!
"Damn it!"
Su Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately thought of using the Teleportation Spell to rush inside the anti-gravity crystal drill to prevent the explosion.
But before he could react, the anti-gravity crystal drill had already been detonated!
BOOM!
Like the largest nuclear weapon on Earth—the Tsar Bomba—exploding, the vast amount of spirit energy stored at the top of the anti-gravity crystal drill was detonated, sending a massive mushroom cloud skyward.
The closest to the explosion center were the venerable Yang Jian and Chenxing. They had not followed Su Yu to chase the Skrel high-rankers but had flown toward the base below, placing them very close to the anti-gravity crystal drill.
Chenxing, in her Stellar Core Dragon form, bore the brunt of the explosion with her 60-meter wingspan.
BOOM!
Chenxing's massive body was thrown back by the shockwave, crashing into a hill several kilometers away.
Yang Jian, though subjected to less pressure, was still badly affected. Using the Eight-Nine Mystic Technique to shield his entire body, he was still pushed back several hundred meters by the shockwave.
The cultivators and players in the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation also endured significant pressure. With their large numbers, they were a large target and thus suffered greatly from the explosion.
Fortunately, they were in large numbers, and the "Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation" was highly defensive.
The moment the explosion occurred, the Grand Emperor of the Tai Sect quickly activated the formation's defenses and rotated it 90 degrees to face the explosion center, reducing the direct impact.
The players and cultivators within the formation also exerted their full strength, causing the formation to emit a brilliant blue light, channeling energy into the shield to barely withstand the explosion's impact.
As for Su Yu, knowing that Chenxing was in the greatest danger, he immediately teleported to her side, setting up multiple layers of spatial defenses and numerous spatial barriers to reduce the impact she received.
This allowed the Morning Star to avoid fatal injuries and continue standing strong.
No matter what, the players from Blue Star and the Great Cultivators each used their unique skills and successfully withstood the explosion. However, the depletion of their spiritual energy was even more severe.
...
This was actually the Skru's final trump card, the "mysterious gift" that Lan Qi mentioned.
Previously, the Theskru didn't transport all the spiritual energy extracted from the spring back to their home planet. Instead, they left a significant portion, highly compressed and stored at the tip of the anti-gravity crystal tower. At this most opportune moment, the Theskru detonated the anti-gravity crystal tower, causing the compressed spiritual energy to explode, creating this massive blast!
This scene was somewhat reminiscent of when Su Yu initially sank the floating island. When Su Yu had just ascended to the Sixth Rank, he exploited a loophole in the Theskru's spiritual energy transport system, using missiles on a spaceship to successfully sink the floating island above Trener City.
Now, the explosion at the Luape Volcano Spring was similar. The Theskru detonated the compressed spiritual energy, catching the Blue Star inhabitants off guard.
...
Theskru Planet.
Due to the intense explosion at the Luapevolcano spring, the live feed that Lan Qi and Manina were watching was interrupted.
However, Lan Qi was unconcerned. He laughed in a video call with Manina, "Your Majesty, this massive explosion should injure some of the Blue Star's powerful figures. Even if it doesn't injure them, it will further deplete their combat power, giving us more time."
"And there's one very important point—this can be considered our revenge for the Luncret people. They should thank us."
"Indeed, Lan Qi, you've done well!" Manina was delighted.
The effects of this explosion were evident. The Blue Star's offensive would definitely be delayed, which was exactly what they wanted. Additionally, this act of revenge for the Luncret people would help boost the cohesion within the United Government.
"Shiblue," Manina instructed, "record the relevant footage and focus on promoting it in the Luncret Alliance. I want the majority of the Luncret people to know about this within three days."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the AI Shiblue responded.
...
While Manina was overjoyed on her end, the battle at the Luapevolcano spring on Blue Star was still raging.
After much effort, Su Yu, the venerable Yang Jian, and the players and cultivators within the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation finally managed to suppress the shockwave from the explosion.
Although the nature of this explosion at the Luapevolcano spring was similar to the one when Su Yu initially sank the floating island, the amount of spiritual energy in this explosion was less than that of the floating island.
During the floating island incident, a Mid-God Rank Stium, along with several Seventh Rank subordinates, could fully suppress the explosion's damage. The overall strength of the Blue Star cultivators was even greater than Stium's team, so there was no reason for them to perform worse.
After more than three hours of effort, Su Yu and the other Blue Star cultivators successfully controlled the explosion, limiting its impact to a 20-kilometer radius.
However, a large amount of violent spiritual energy still surged into the sky, dyeing the entire sky above them a deep purple, just like in the former Luncret Alliance.
Looking at the purple sky above, the Blue Star cultivators and players fell silent. Each of their faces was stern, devoid of any joy from their hard-won victory.
