Chapter 666: The Clash of Peak Gods
Chapter 666: The Clash of Peak Gods
The figure of Plangt appeared, and the spatial rift above Lang'e Mountain immediately began to contract and vibrate, emitting a blinding white light.
At the same moment, the white spot created by Chenxing's "Star Rainbow Focus" exploded violently, releasing a similarly dazzling white light.
The two beams of white light intersected, their brightness thousands of times brighter than the sun!
"Indeed, he's here." Su Yu's gaze sharpened as he saw Plangt's iconic red mech.
Sure enough, Plangt had arrived at this critical moment, just as Su Yu had anticipated.
The high-ranking Schrugs in the base, upon seeing Plangt, immediately transformed from fear to wild delight, especially the fifth-stage Schrugs.
These powerful beings had not dared to hope for escape; at their speed, it would take at least half an hour to reach the spring, giving the Blue Star cultivators ample time to intercept them.
But now, Plangt had come to their rescue! They were saved!
"Everyone, pay attention. We're retreating immediately!" Cao Cheng said to the Blue Star cultivators around him.
The moment Plangt appeared, Cao Cheng immediately used his sword hilt to set up a defensive shield.
He knew Plangt would use spatial teleportation, a form of instant movement. Therefore, he layered the shields, ensuring that the gaps between each pair of shields were no more than 10 centimeters. This significantly hindered Plangt's spatial teleportation.
The sixth-stage cultivators reorganized the great formation and, under the protection of Cao Cheng's shield, slowly and cautiously retreated.
Su Yu and the other five seventh-stage cultivators were "dispersed" within the Tian Gang Beidou Great Formation, retreating alongside the sixth-stage cultivators.
However, during the retreat, Su Yu cast a regretful glance at the area where the antimatter railguns were set up.
When the "Star Rainbow Focus" white spot exploded, he had considered teleporting down to destroy these railguns.
But Plangt's arrival instantly dissuaded him of that idea.
His current body couldn't withstand a full burst from Plangt, a peak god, so he had to reluctantly give up.
Seeing the Blue Star cultivators begin their retreat, Plangt had no intention of letting them leave so easily.
Plangt knew that Su Yu would use a long-distance teleportation array. Once the Blue Star cultivators left the spring, Su Yu would teleport all of them to the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
The Greater Caucasus spring had weaker defenses and would surely be breached within three hours!
Therefore, he couldn't let the Blue Star cultivators leave unscathed; they had to pay a price!
With this thought, Plangt used spatial teleportation, instantly appearing five kilometers away from the main group of Blue Star cultivators.
This position was his optimal saturated attack range, and he was confident he could breach Cao Cheng's shield within ten seconds!
But at that moment, a smile appeared at the corner of Cao Cheng's mouth.
Seeing Plangt rapidly approaching, he wielded his sword hilt and swiftly moved forward.
Cao Cheng's sword hilt swung, immediately releasing countless brilliant blue sword auras.
These sword auras quickly locked onto Plangt, almost as if they had crossed space to reach his side, colliding with Plangt's particle shield.
Before Plangt could launch his attack, he was completely interrupted by these preemptive sword auras.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The intense explosions echoed.
Plangt's particle shield trembled violently.
From the main control interface of his mech, it was clear that the shield's strength was rapidly dropping.
In just one round of attacks, the shield's strength had plummeted from 100% to 53%.
If another round of attacks came, his shield would likely be gone!
"How is this possible?"
!” Plante stared in shock at Chancellor Cao. "Your strength is fully restored?"
In the previous seven battles for the spring, the Syblue AI system had rated Chancellor Cao's "current strength coefficient" at 1031-1108, placing him at the early Eighth Rank.
However, the recent burst of sword energy required a strength coefficient of at least 3000 to instantly strip away 47% of Plante's particle shield.
Clearly, Chancellor Cao had been playing possum, pretending to be weaker than he truly was.
"Ha ha ha, you've discovered my secret," Chancellor Cao laughed heartily.
Playing possum was only satisfying if the target was significant enough. Being able to outsmart Plante, the strongest being on Skrull, made Chancellor Cao feel as exhilarated as Zheng Shuang's mother opening the door for her—utterly thrilled!
"Come, come, come. When I was still on Skrull, we once had a sparring session that ended in a draw. Today is the perfect opportunity to settle the score!"
Chancellor Cao waved his sword hilt again, unleashing even denser waves of sword energy, aiming directly at Plante.
Plante's face darkened. He had indeed sparred with Chancellor Cao before, and it had not ended well.
He had once thought that Chancellor Cao had obtained his peak Eighth Rank strength by mere chance, and that despite his raw power, he wouldn't know how to use it effectively, thus being no match for him.
However, when they actually fought, he realized that this was not the case.
The "Hilt of the Thousand Admonitions Sword" was incredibly powerful!
Fighting Chancellor Cao felt like being subjected to the raw, technical superiority of a higher civilization over a lower one.
To put it another way—if Plante were a muscular man wielding a longsword, Chancellor Cao would be a little girl 20 meters away, holding a fully automatic sniper rifle with perfect aim.
The hilt didn't just grant Chancellor Cao strength; it also provided significant boosts in terms of shields, flight, reflexes, automatic targeting, and more.
Even a student of the First or Second Rank could hold their own against Plante with the hilt in hand.
Seeing Chancellor Cao fully unleashing the hilt's power, the painful memories resurfaced, and Plante could only retreat.
Chancellor Cao didn't pursue him, instead controlling the hilt to hover in the sky, standing proudly.
During the time Chancellor Cao and Plante were engaged, the Blue Planet cultivators successfully withdrew from the spring's range.
"Morningstar, Ailijie, come help me!" As soon as they left the spring, Su Yu called out to Ailijie and Morningstar.
He was about to set up a long-distance teleportation array, and his own mana alone wasn't enough to teleport so many people. He needed the assistance of fellow magic users, Ailijie and Morningstar.
"Sure."
"Sure, meow."
Ailijie and Morningstar understood Su Yu's intent and moved toward him.
Ailijie released three "Ancient Magic Book" skills, causing three golden, weighty tomes to slowly open above their heads, boosting their intelligence and significantly increasing their mana recovery rate.
Morningstar transformed into her "Star Spirit Fox" form, which was her most intelligent form, while Su Yu activated the "Natural Speed" skill from his gauntlets, greatly enhancing his casting speed.
Under Su Yu's leadership, a massive 40-meter radius silver-white teleportation array quickly unfolded in the sky above Mount Longge, with the target set on the Caucasus Giant Spring.
The Skrull soldiers in the base below looked up at the colossal teleportation array, their eyes filled with awe and disbelief.
