Chapter 872 The Ancestor's Fate!
Chapter 872 The Ancestor's Fate!
Jiang Longsheng stood on the flagship's command platform, looking down at the reorganized fleet below.
The casualty rate exceeded 30%.
Even so, this is still a terrifying force capable of sweeping across the entire Taurus sector.
"Pass on my order," his voice was as cold as frost, "All warships, enter battle formation."
"Star War God-level powerhouses are stationed at the front lines, responsible for breaking through the defenses."
"Martial God-level experts are stationed in the central army, responsible for command and coordination."
"The remaining soldiers are deployed in the rear guard, responsible for finishing off the remaining enemies and clearing out the rest."
"Yes!" the generals responded in unison.
The fleet began to move slowly, rearranging itself into neat formations.
Each warship emitted a faint glow, a sign that its engines were running at full power.
"Everyone," Jiang Longsheng turned around and looked at the powerful interstellar war gods behind him, "this battle is a matter of life and death."
"Although Lin Qiye is powerful, he is ultimately just an avatar."
"His true form is trapped within the ruins of the gods and cannot return. That attack was just a bluff!"
"If we're intimidated, we'll fall for his empty city ruse!"
Although Jiang Longsheng said this, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression, and they were still unsure.
What happened just now was truly terrifying.
Thousands of warships turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
That power was beyond their comprehension.
"Jiang Longsheng," the Ji family patriarch said in a deep voice, "I think we should first probe their strengths and weaknesses."
"How do we probe?"
"Send an advance team to launch a probing attack," the Ji family patriarch analyzed. "If Lin Qiye can still unleash that power, we will continue to retreat; if he cannot... we will launch a full-scale attack."
Jiang Longsheng looked at the Ji family patriarch, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Ji," his voice laced with sarcasm, "why don't you send out this advance team?"
The face of the Ji family patriarch instantly turned ashen.
He certainly understood what Jiang Longsheng meant.
The advance team was a suicide squad.
Whoever sends the advance team will have to sacrifice a number of their own men.
What just happened has proven that in the face of that terrifying light, any warship is nothing but a paper toy.
Sending the advance team up would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
"Jiang Longsheng," the Ji family patriarch's voice was icy, "what do you mean by this?"
"It doesn't mean anything," Jiang Longsheng sneered, "I just think that since you've made this suggestion, Brother Ji, why don't you carry it out yourself?"
"you--"
The Ji family patriarch's expression grew even more unpleasant.
"Everyone," Jiang Longsheng took a deep breath, "I know what you're worried about."
"But we have no way out now."
"This time, our conflict with Lin Qiye is a fight to the death."
"Either he dies, or we perish."
His voice was deep, yet it carried a chilling resolve.
"If we back down now and wait for Lin Qiye's main body to return to the Taurus constellation, will he let us go?"
"Will you spare your family? Will you spare your descendants?"
Everyone fell silent.
The answer is obviously no.
Today they launched a full-scale attack on Lin Qiye, completely breaking off all pretense of civility.
If Lin Qiye wins, he will absolutely not let anyone involved in this operation go unpunished.
Their family, their descendants, everything about them—
They will all be reduced to ashes.
"Therefore," Jiang Longsheng's voice turned icy, "we must completely suppress him before he recovers!"
"Pass on my order—"
"All interstellar war god-level powerhouses, launch an attack!"
This time, we're leaving no room for error!
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
"I know what you're thinking. You're thinking about how to preserve your strength and how to escape when the crucial moment comes."
"But this time, I, Jiang Longsheng, am putting my words here and now—"
"Anyone who dares to desert in the face of battle will be the first to be wiped out!"
The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.
They knew Jiang Longsheng wasn't joking.
"Furthermore," Jiang Longsheng's voice softened slightly, "all the interstellar war gods we're deploying this time have already made prior arrangements."
"After we capture Lin Qiye, we'll investigate his secrets together."
"Everyone gets a share."
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes.
"You should know how terrifying the power within Lin Qiye is."
"If I could obtain that power, even if it were just a small part of it..."
"Our strength will all increase by leaps and bounds!"
The group exchanged glances, a glint of greed flashing in their eyes.
Jiang Longsheng is right.
The power emanating from Lin Qiye was truly terrifying.
If only I could obtain that power...
"Very well!" The Ji family patriarch was the first to speak, "Our Ji family is willing to go all out!"
"The Yao family is also willing!" The Yao family patriarch followed closely behind.
"The Winners are willing!"
"The Sun family is willing!"
"The Xiahou family is willing!"
In the blink of an eye, all the patriarchs present had expressed their opinions.
This time, no one hesitated.
Because they knew this was a battle to the death.
It's either win or die.
There is no third way.
"Okay!" A smile appeared on Jiang Longsheng's face.
"All interstellar war god-level powerhouses, follow me into battle!"
"This time, we will fight Lin Qiye to the death!"
"Yes!"
Thirty figures moved simultaneously.
They transformed into thirty streaks of light and sped off toward the C10755 galaxy.
……
Thirty figures sped through the sea of stars, like brilliant shooting stars streaking across the dark void.
Jiang Longsheng charged ahead, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.
The patriarchs of the Ji and Yao families followed closely behind, each radiating a chilling aura.
Thirty interstellar warriors joined forces; this power was enough to destroy a galaxy.
"Everyone," Jiang Longsheng's voice was icy, "when you see Lin Qiye's clone, don't waste words, attack with all your might!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
however--
Just then—
They both stopped in their tracks.
Because a figure appeared in front of them.
A figure surrounded by dark golden divine light.
Lin Qiye.
He floated quietly in the void, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression serene.
The aura of the Blood Demon Domain slowly emanated from his body, dyeing the entire starry sky a dark gold.
"Lin Qiye!"
Jiang Longsheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror flashed across his face.
They found Lin Qiye!
however--
Just as everyone was preparing to make their move—
Two more figures appeared beside Lin Qiye.
They have the exact same face.
The exact same scent.
The exact same oppressive aura!
Three Lin Qiyes!!!
Jiang Longsheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Three Lin Qiyes?!
wrong--
"Clone!"
The Ji family patriarch's voice was filled with undisguised terror, "That's Lin Qiye's clone!"
"So what if it's a clone!" Jiang Longsheng roared. "His clones must have consumed a lot of energy! Otherwise, why would he use clones to scare us!"
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, he's bluffing! That beam of light just now must have drained a lot of his energy! He's completely incapable of fighting now!"
"As long as we go all out, we will definitely be able to take him down!"
however--
Just then—
The three figures moved at the same time!
"Buzz—!!"
Three terrifying dark golden lights shone simultaneously, illuminating the entire starry sky!
Three towering, dark golden giants materialized in the blink of an eye!
Two hundred meters!!
Three hundred meters!
500 meters!!!
Three giants, each one bigger and more terrifying than the last!
Countless mysterious runes surrounded them, each one radiating a chilling pressure.
Behind them, a pair of enormous golden wings slowly unfolded, blotting out the sky!
Their eyes burned with an eternal, inextinguishable golden divine flame!
Three god-like beings simultaneously looked down upon the thirty interstellar war gods before them!
"No...it's impossible..."
Jiang Longsheng's face instantly turned ashen.
His body trembled uncontrollably; it was fear from the depths of his soul!
"Three...three beings of that level..."
The Ji family patriarch's voice trembled, "This...this is simply impossible..."
Three beings of godlike status!
What does this mean?!
One of them is enough to destroy them all!!
Three...
This is no longer a war!
This is a massacre!!
"Jiang Longsheng."
Three voices rang out simultaneously, but only one voice reached everyone's ears.
"You're saying I'm bluffing?"
The three giants spoke at the same time, their voices booming like thunder in the starry sky.
"You think my attack just now consumed a lot of energy?"
Do you think I'm incapable of fighting anymore?
Lin Qiye's voice was icy, yet it exuded a chillingly domineering aura.
"Then let me tell you—"
The three giants raised their hands at the same time!
"What?"
Jiang Longsheng's expression changed drastically.
"Oh no! Retreat now—"
However, he hadn't finished speaking—
"boom!!!"
Three forces, each capable of destroying a star, erupted simultaneously!
Three dark golden beams of light surged from the hands of the three giants, carrying world-destroying power, and swept towards the thirty interstellar war gods!
"Do not!!"
"Help!!"
"I don't want to die—"
Thirty terrified screams rang out simultaneously, yet they seemed so insignificant in the face of this terrifying power!
"boom!!!"
Three beams of light struck the target simultaneously!
Thirty interstellar war god-level ancestors were all blasted into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye!
Blood and bits of flesh flew through the air, staining the entire starry sky crimson!
One strike!!
Just one strike!!!
Thirty interstellar war god-level beings, all wiped out!!!
however--
The light did not stop there!
It traversed the void, crossed countless light-years, and sped straight towards the location of the founding family's allied fleet!
"What?"
The survivors behind turned deathly pale when they saw the trajectory of that light.
That ray of light...
They're heading towards their fleet!
"Quickly!! Notify the fleet to evacuate!!"
"Flagship!! All warships, take evasive action immediately!!"
"Help!! We need backup!!"
Terrified screams rose and fell.
however--
It's too late.
"boom!!!"
The beam of light, like an invisible giant blade, arrived above the fleet in the blink of an eye!
"No!!!"
On the flagship, the generals let out a desperate roar.
They witnessed the light explode within the fleet, transforming into countless tiny beams that swept outwards in all directions!
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
Each ray of light precisely struck a large group of warships!
One warship after another was like a paper toy before that beam of light, easily torn apart, shattered, and reduced to ashes!
The firelight illuminated the entire starry sky.
The explosion was deafening.
Screams echoed throughout the room.
The entire founding family's allied fleet was thrown into chaos in the blink of an eye!
"Help!!"
"We've been hit!!"
"Engine failure!! We are falling!!"
"Save us!! I don't want to die!!"
Terrified cries rang out from countless warships, but they seemed so insignificant in the face of this terrifying power.
Every second, hundreds of warships are reduced to ashes!
Every second, tens of thousands of soldiers vanish into nothingness!
This massacre can no longer be described as war.
This is one-sided destruction!!
"No...it's impossible..."
Inside the flagship, the surviving generals stared blankly at the images constantly being displayed on the holographic screen, their faces filled with disbelief.
More than 10,000 warships!
That was the entire fortune of their founding family alliance!
But now, faced with that terrifying light, they are as fragile as ants!
"Where is the Ancestor?! Where is the Ancestor?!"
"Our ancestors... all our ancestors..."
"It's over...it's all over..."
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Retreat!! Retreat now!!!"
"All warships must immediately withdraw from the battlefield!!!"
"Don't linger any longer!!!"
Terrified screams rose and fell, but it was too late.
That terrifying dark golden light was still raging through the fleet.
Every second, hundreds of warships are reduced to ashes.
Every second, tens of thousands of soldiers vanished into nothingness.
This kind of massacre was simply unstoppable.
"Quick!! Run!!!"
Inside the flagship, the surviving generals stared blankly at the images constantly appearing on the holographic screen, their faces filled with despair.
"Retreat!! The only thing to do now is retreat!!!"
"Yes! Retreat! Retreat before that light hits us!!!"
The generals were issuing orders frantically, their voices filled with barely concealed fear.
however--
Just as the flagship turned around—
Another dazzling ray of light shone from afar!
"boom!!!"
The flagship trembled violently, and its protective shield shattered in the blink of an eye!
"Oh no!! The flagship has been hit!!!"
"All high-ranking officials must evacuate immediately!!!"
The high-ranking officers inside the flagship frantically rushed towards the escape pods.
however--
That beam of light gave them no chance.
"boom!!!"
The flagship broke in the middle, turning into two huge pieces of debris that tumbled in the starry sky.
Countless fragments drifted in the void, and the firelight illuminated the entire area.
Some of the high-ranking members inside the flagship were instantly turned to ashes by the blast wave, while others desperately channeled their spiritual energy, transforming into streaks of light as they fled frantically outwards.
Those who were slow to escape disappeared forever into the void with the explosion of the flagship.
……
The entire founding family's allied fleet has completely collapsed.
Tens of thousands of warships were lost in the blink of an eye, with more than 70% of them destroyed.
The remaining warships were also frantically fleeing in all directions, with no will to fight left.
"Help!! I don't want to die!!!"
"Someone, please save us!!!"
"Mommy...Mommy, where are you...?"
Desperate cries echoed from countless warships, yet they seemed so insignificant in the face of this terrifying power.
No one can save them.
Their fleet—those once invincible warships—is being mercilessly reaped by beams of light.
This was a one-sided massacre.
And they were the ones being slaughtered.
……
"No...it's impossible..."
Jiang Longsheng's figure rapidly reassembled under the pull of the law's power, his face as pale as paper.
His eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.
One strike!
Thirty interstellar warriors joined forces, yet they were all wiped out in a single blow!
"This power...this power..."
His voice was hoarse, and he could barely speak a complete sentence.
"No...it can't be the power of the Interstellar War God..."
"You... what level of cultivation are you at...?"
The three giants slowly turned around, their gazes falling on Jiang Longsheng.
Those eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet they exuded a powerful pressure that made one's soul tremble.
"What level?"
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, but it made Jiang Longsheng's heart skip a beat.
"You don't need to know."
"because--"
The three giants raised their hands simultaneously, and three beams of dark golden light condensed at their fingertips.
"You're going to die."
"Do not!!"
Jiang Longsheng let out a desperate roar, and the power of the laws within his body surged wildly.
He knew he couldn't escape.
With three beings of that caliber joining forces, he had absolutely no chance of escaping.
"Lin Qiye!! You can't kill me!!"
He screamed wildly, his voice filled with barely concealed fear.
"I am the patriarch of the Jiang family! I know all the secrets of the Jiang family!"
"If you spare my life, I'll tell you everything!!"
"Including the alliance agreement between the Jiang family and other founding families!!"
"Including the treasure hidden by the Jiang family!!"
"Including all the weaknesses of the Jiang family!!"
"Just spare my life, and I'll give you anything!!!"
His voice grew increasingly shrill and frantic.
however--
Lin Qiye's eyes remained completely unmoved.
"unnecessary."
Three words, a simple and understated description.
The next moment—
"boom!!!"
Three beams of light shot out simultaneously!
"No--!!!"
Jiang Longsheng's figure instantly turned to ashes before that beam of light!
Blood and bits of flesh flew through the air, only to be instantly vaporized by that terrifying force!
Jiang Longsheng's figure rapidly reassembled under the pull of the power of the laws.
This time, however, his face was paler than ever before.
Because he was still trapped in that dark golden domain, unable to move.
"No...it's impossible..."
He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and barely audible.
"Three...three beings of that level..."
He just couldn't understand it.
How could Lin Qiye possibly possess three clones as powerful as his original body?!
This method, this power, has completely exceeded his comprehension!
unless--
A terrible thought popped into his mind.
Unless Lin Qiye has truly broken through to the Human King realm!!
"No...it's impossible..."
He shook his head frantically, "There's only one human king in the entire galaxy... He couldn't possibly be..."
however--
"boom!!!"
Jiang Longsheng's body exploded into a bloody mist once again!
He reassembled himself, his face ashen white.
The other ancestors weren't much better off.
Their bodies were blasted into a bloody mist time and time again, only to be reassembled again and again.
Every restructuring is accompanied by immense pain and fear.
What made them even more desperate was—
They have no chance of escaping!
The Blood Demon Domain locked them in place, making them like caged birds, at the mercy of others!
"Lin Qiye!! Spare me!!!"
The Ji family patriarch let out a desperate roar.
"Spare me!! Please, spare my life!!!"
"I am willing to submit!! I am willing to be your slave!!!"
"I'll do anything, just spare my life!!!"
The other elders also begged for mercy.
"Spare me!! Lin Qiye!! Spare me!!!"
"I'm willing to surrender!! I'm willing to tell you all my secrets!!!"
"That idiot Jiang Longsheng!! It's all his fault!! If it weren't for him, how could we have ended up like this!!!"
"Yes!! It's all Jiang Longsheng's fault!! Lord Lin Qiye, if you want to kill someone, kill him, don't drag us into it!!!"
They all started talking at once, shifting the blame onto Jiang Longsheng.
however--
There was no emotion in Lin Qiye's eyes.
His voice was icy.
"Who among you do you think will survive?"
Upon hearing this, all the patriarchs turned deathly pale.
"Lord Lin Qiye!! Spare my life!!!"
"I am truly willing to surrender!! I am truly willing to do anything!!!"
"Jiang Longsheng is the mastermind!! We were only forced into this situation!! Please investigate thoroughly!!!"
They begged for mercy frantically, their voices filled with barely concealed fear.
however--
Lin Qiye simply spoke in a calm tone.
"It's too late."
The three giants raised their hands simultaneously, and three beams of dark golden light condensed at their fingertips.
"No--!!!"
A desperate roar echoed through the starry sky.
however--
"boom!!!"
Three beams of light shot out again!
Thirty figures turned into blood mist once more!
This time, however, the blood mist did not dissipate. Instead, it was drawn by an invisible force and slowly drifted in a certain direction.
Jiang Longsheng reformed himself amidst the blood mist, his face as pale as paper.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the blood mist had drifted away.
Then--
His pupils suddenly contracted.
There--
Dozens of warships are slowly approaching.
Each warship carries hundreds or even thousands of heavily pregnant Valkyries.
They wore magnificent armor and exuded a powerful aura.
What terrified Jiang Longsheng and his men the most was—
The eyes of those Valkyries gleamed with a dark golden light!
That's the aura of the Blood Demon's power!
That's the aura of Lin Qiye's bloodline!!
"No...it's impossible..."
Jiang Longsheng's voice trembled.
"They...they are..."
"That's right."
Lin Qiye's voice was icy.
"They are the Valkyries of the Jiang family."
"They are the Valkyries of the Ji family."
"They are the goddesses of the Yao family."
"They are... the Valkyries you gave me."
Upon hearing this, all the patriarchs turned deathly pale.
They certainly knew who those Valkyries were.
That was a woman their family gave to Lin Qiye.
Those were gifts they presented to Lin Qiye in an attempt to curry favor with him.
Those women should have belonged to them.
What flows in their veins is the pride of their family.
But now—
They have Lin Qiye's blood flowing in their veins!
What gleamed in their eyes was Lin Qiye's Blood Demon Power!
They stood on Lin Qiye's warship, looking at them—their former family—with complicated expressions.
"No!!!"
Jiang Longsheng let out a desperate roar.
He finally understood!
Lin Qiye intends to use their power to enhance those Valkyries!
……
Sorry for being late, here's a 6000-word chapter!
