Chapter 756: The Third Awakening of the Legendary Warrior, Manina
Chapter 756: The Third Awakening of the Legendary Warrior, Manina
After agreeing on a meeting spot, Xiaotian and Qianbei Buzui parted ways to pursue their respective goals.
Xiaotian, carrying a backpack filled with over 300 spatial rings, set off for the country of Beike to meet Cindy Doppler. Qianbei Buzui, on the other hand, stayed in the Wasteland Continent. Using the detailed resource map of the Wasteland, he planned to hunt high-level beasts and seize spirit energy stones, relying on his own abilities to gather resources.
Apart from Xiaotian and Qianbei Buzui, the other players and cultivators had their own tasks and challenges, but none as daunting as Qianbei Buzui's.
In total, 21 players and cultivators were sent to the planet Skrull. Fortunately, none of them were as unlucky as Qianbei Buzui was during his previous trip, where he was directly teleported to a major Skrull city.
Most of them were teleported to remote areas, far from Skrull settlements, and thus managed to avoid immediate detection by the Skrulls.
The players Range is Truth and a European server player had the worst luck. They were teleported to Skrull settlements, one to a small village and the other to a bustling town.
Range is Truth appeared in a remote village, where he briefly encountered a Skrull farmer who was plowing a field. The European server player, on the other hand, materialized in the middle of a town's main street, causing a commotion among the Skrull residents.
However, they were mentally prepared for such scenarios and quickly took to the skies, flying low and fast toward more isolated areas.
These remote villages and towns, lacking the means to intercept sixth-stage cultivators, allowed the two players to escape and vanish into the vast wilderness nearby.
The Skrull reaction this time was less intense than before.
When Qianbei Buzui was teleported to the national library in Trenar City, the staff initially assumed it was Su Yu making a return visit. The Skrulls, wary of Su Yu, were prepared to give him the highest level of attention.
The legendary peak cultivator, Plaunt, received the news and immediately returned to the home planet, then teleported to Trenar City at great expense from the Leryang Empire.
However, the person they captured was not Su Yu, but Qianbei Buzui. Given such "treatment," Qianbei Buzui had no choice but to surrender.
This time, the Skrulls were more relaxed.
Upon receiving the reports from the villages, their first reaction was that Su Yu might not show up. Additionally, both villages were near the Lunket Empire, far from the Leryang Empire, so the United Government did not send a peak cultivator to investigate.
Thus, the two players managed to escape without much trouble.
...
The large-scale arrival of cultivators from Earth naturally alarmed the Skrull United government's intelligence department first.
An hour later, the Minister of Intelligence, Xion, rushed to the palace to meet with Emperor Manina.
"Your Majesty," Xion knelt on one knee in the emperor's study.
"Based on our latest intelligence, Earth has once again sent high-stage cultivators through spatial tunnels to our planet Skrull, and this time, the number is even greater than before!"
"Oh? How many this time?" Manina was taken aback.
"According to our estimates, there are about 20 this time, all of them sixth-stage or higher," Xion replied.
"Twenty..." Manina leaned back in his chair, his gaze unfocused.
Last time, there were only 12. This time, it's three-quarters more. And... why do the Earthlings keep coming every month? This is getting tiresome.
"Has Su Yu arrived?" Manina regained his composure and looked at Xion again.
Xion was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly responded, "This time, Su Yu does not seem to have come. Our intelligence department has been tracking his movements and has not detected any long periods of disappearance."
"Pay extra attention. If you discover any movements by Su Yu, report them to me immediately."
"Understood!"
"As for the twenty high-ranking Blue Star cultivators who have come here, I will have a portion of our high-ranking cultivators on Blue Star return to defend us."
"Xion, you should follow the same strategy as before, offering a high bounty for these Blue Star cultivators, increasing the reward by 30% compared to last time. And this time, we'll pay the bounty in full with psychic energy."
After the implementation of the 'Explosive Mining Plan,' the United Government plundered a considerable amount of psychic energy.
According to the data department, the psychic energy plundered from Blue Star was equivalent to a thousand years' worth of energy mined from psychic stones on Skrull!
Manina was now incredibly wealthy and powerful!
So, he didn't hesitate to increase the bounty by 30%.
"Understood, Your Majesty," Xion replied immediately.
...
At this point, Xion intended to take his leave and return to the intelligence department to continue his work.
However, before he could even utter a word, a massive surge of psychic energy suddenly erupted from the west side of the study!
The surge was so immense that Xion felt like a tiny boat caught in a raging storm, at risk of capsizing at any moment.
It was terrifying, a deep-seated fear that gripped his heart.
Xion's first instinct was to flee.
But he couldn't leave the emperor in danger! He quickly dashed forward, standing in front of the emperor and shouting, "Your Majesty, hurry and go! I will hold them off!"
To his surprise, Manina didn't flee. Instead, after a moment of shock, a broad smile spread across his face.
He waved his hand toward the western wall of the study.
Crack!
The once solid wall shattered, forming a large hole.
Xion peered through the hole and saw an extremely bright pillar of fire rising in the western sky!
The fire pillar seemed to originate from the west side of the palace, with a diameter of about 100 meters.
It rose from the palace's west side, shooting straight into the clouds.
Even though it was daytime, the blinding firelight illuminated the entire sky, and the pillar was clearly visible from any part of the capital.
Xion was initially stunned.
But then he realized something and exclaimed with joy, "Your Majesty, it must be the late emperor emerging from seclusion!"
"That's right, our great ancestor has finally emerged."
Manina stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with immense joy, "Come, Xion, let's go meet our great ancestor!"
...
Manina's great ancestor was named "Manina III," a legendary powerhouse from the same era as Plante, the emperor of the Lyran Empire at the time, and currently one of the two eighth-rank divine-level cultivators in the Lyran Empire.
Manina III had declared fifty years ago that he would enter seclusion, not emerging until he reached the peak of the eighth rank.
For the next fifty years, he indeed did not emerge.
Even the younger generation of Skrullians only knew of his existence and had never seen him.
Manina had recently received a hint from his great ancestor, indicating he would emerge soon.
Now it seemed that the great ancestor had truly emerged!
And from the psychic energy surge emitted by the fire pillar, it was clear he had indeed broken through to the peak of the eighth rank!
This was indeed a momentous occasion worthy of celebration!
