The crimson sun hung in the sky, its light engulfing the land, vast and endless like blood.
Amidst a mountain range, a great battle erupted.
Five Prime Warriors, all clad in Origin Power Battle Suits, engaged fiercely in combat.
The five powerhouses were faintly divided into two camps.
One side consisted of three people, led by a thin, tall figure shrouded in faint lightning, wielding a combat saber, his presence formidable and terrifying, fiercely attacking the petite figure of the opposing side.
The other two members of this side were both radiating fiery red light, one holding a long spear, the other gripping a war hammer, both with an extremely frightening aura.
The ones besieged by their trio were none other than Kross and Alicia.
“Kill!”
Alicia channeled Origin Power, fully activating her Origin Power Battle Suit, her long sword radiating streaks of blue light, continuous like flowing water, fending off the attacks from the thin, tall, purple-robed figure.
With every clash, Alicia was forced to retreat by the force of the impact.
However, she seemed to possess an invisible magic power, as her gaze swept over, causing the tall purple figure to stagger and be continuously affected, unable to exert his full combat strength.
Occasionally, Alicia’s sword would even leave faint marks on his body.
Alas.
In terms of overall strength, Alicia and Kross, even when joining forces, fell far short of their opponents, and despite fleeing while fighting, they were still tightly ensnared.
They had already fled over ten kilometers, yet they had not shaken off the pursuit.
And with each collision, Kross’s injuries worsened, making it increasingly difficult to even keep fleeing.
The key.
It was that tall figure shrouded in purple light. His strength was too terrifying; if it came to a normal fight, he was entirely capable of sweeping both of them aside.
“Just a few hours in,”
“and we’re in dire straits. How can this lightning lineage Prime Warrior have such strong willpower?” Alicia gritted her teeth, iciness in her eyes.
Boom!
Time and again, terrifying Spiritual Shocks exploded from her spiritual world, continually sweeping towards the tall purple figure, repeatedly affecting him.
Spiritual Secret Technique!
Alicia was also extremely skilled in Spiritual Secret Techniques, and in some respects, she was even more adept than Li Yuan, which was why she had been able to withstand the three-on-one assault for so long with Kross.
Her swordsmanship was also very defensive.
“Lei Wu, you still haven’t been able to take them down after so long?” The fiery red figures holding the long spear and war hammer were both growing impatient.
The battle had been going on for quite some time.
They were worried that other powerful individuals from the Seven Star Civilization might come to the rescue.
Experience tales at empire
“What’s the rush,” the tall purple figure retorted coldly, “The one before me must be one of the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization… Not only is her swordsmanship excellent, but most importantly, her spiritual power is extremely strong, probably at the Second Order Limit.”
“She’s not so easy to kill.”
“However, as time goes on, her Spiritual Secret Technique will have less effect on me, and she won’t be able to hold on.”
The three communicated in a special ‘Secret Language,’ not even in the common tongue of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.
Therefore, Alicia and Kross could not understand a word.
“Alicia, the one you’re fighting is called Lei Wu; he’s likely the strongest among them,” a youthful voice arose in Alicia’s mind: “He must have cultivated some sort of defensive Spiritual Secret Technique. Continuing to fight this way, someone’s going to die.”
“Little Star, can you understand what they’re saying?” Alicia responded mentally.
“I understand. It’s just a Secret Language,” the youthful voice replied: “But understanding it is useless. You’ve only reached level 29 in spiritual power after consuming the Heavenly Materials Treasures, far from exhibiting the true power of the Spiritual Secret Techniques I’ve taught you… If you had Flying Heaven level spiritual power, you’d have a chance to win.”
“If it’s not working, just run,”
“Ditch that deadweight Kross and hand control of your body to me,” the youthful voice urged: “I guarantee we can escape with our lives.”
“If we keep delaying and you get injured, we won’t be able to escape later,” the youthful voice said.
“No way!”
Alicia firmly refused: “It was Kross who came to save me at the start, how could I abandon him?”
“What do we do then? It wasn’t easy for me to train you up,” the youthful voice sounded anxious as well.
“Don’t panic.”
“Little Star, if we hold them off, there’s a chance,” Alicia responded fiercely: “Reinforcements are almost here.”
She was waiting!
Why had she taken Kross and fled in this direction? She had received orders from an external base’s command.
Just then, suddenly!
Boom!
From the distant horizon, a faint rumble of the earth’s trembling reached them, very slight, imperceptible to the common person.
But the five brawling Prime Warriors, each capable of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, had perception abilities far beyond ordinary people.
Almost at the same moment,
Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom couldn’t help but glance over, seeing a figure speeding toward them from several kilometers away on the mountain ridge above, at an astonishing velocity of nearly 180 meters per second.
The figure swept across the Vast Sky, momentum breathtaking.
Alicia and Kross, too, glanced over with their peripheral vision, seeing the figure rushing towards them, his body faintly radiating an earth-yellow glow.
His face wasn’t clear.
But the two of them, through the prompt on their smart rings, instantly understood—Number 0001 had arrived.
Li Yuan had come!!
And from Li Yuan’s running speed, they could both infer that he had completed his breakthrough.
“We’re saved.”
“We’re saved,” the youthful voice echoed instantly in Alicia’s mind: “That little freak has come; no need to run anymore.”
“Shut up.”
Alicia coldly responded, her long sword whistling through the air, more determined than ever in fending off Lei Wu’s violent assaults.
