Chapter 247
The Change of the Dry Witch
The original star, numbered 5631, was shrouded in a crimson-gold mist that enveloped the parched land.
Two figures darted about in the void, none other than Venerable Qianwu and Venerable Beiming.
The Venerable Qianwu could no longer laugh.
He desperately channeled his divine power, and the Wind and Thunder Boots emitted a piercing buzzing sound under his feet, but the auras behind him not only did not recede, but instead grew closer and closer.
"Qianwu, are your Wind and Thunder Boots not charged?" Venerable Beiming transmitted through gritted teeth.
"I'm not in the mood for jokes right now, it's running at full power!"
The Venerable Qianwu was on the verge of tears. "But those guys are very strong, and there are even several universe overlords among them. Their speed is just too fast, and we can't shake them off at all."
He glanced back and saw dozens of streaks of light chasing closely behind him, with the leading ones being particularly eye-catching.
The first figure was entirely dark gold, with a pair of enormous metal wings spread out behind him. Each vibration spanned tens of thousands of kilometers; it was none other than the Machine Race's Venerable Dongyue.
The second is the Netherflame Venerable of the demon race, whose wings are burning with a ghostly blue flame, and whose speed is so fast that even space itself trembles.
The third was an elderly man with a hunched back, riding a jet-black flying sword. His speed was no slower than the previous two. He was the Shadow Sword Venerable of the Northern Frontier Alliance.
The three cosmic overlords were followed by more than a dozen cosmic venerables who were no weaker than the two of them.
"It's all over, it ......" Venerable Qianwu's face grew paler and paler.
The Northern Celestial Venerable was also extremely anxious. His divine body had begun to deplete, though not by much. But at this rate, he would be caught up in less than half an hour.
Just then, several more figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Qianwu is a member of the demon race!" Venerable Beiming's expression changed drastically.
Those figures flanked from the flanks, forming an encirclement with the pursuers behind them.
Leading the pack was a giant, silver-white wolf, hundreds of meters long, its crimson vertical pupils filled with mockery.
"Qianwu, hand over the treasures you've obtained, and we might spare your life," the silver-white giant wolf grinned.
"Dream on!" Venerable Qianwu gritted his teeth.
The other side wasn't annoyed; they simply followed leisurely on the flank, clearly waiting for the three overlords behind them to arrive.
"Qianwu, why don't we throw the stuff out and let them snatch it, while the two of us slip away?" Venerable Beiming suggested.
The Venerable Qianwu's face turned ashen, but he finally nodded.
High-grade treasures are precious, but if you don't give them up, you might even lose your life.
However, just as he was about to take out the silver longsword, a male and a female figure appeared in front of him, flying slowly towards him.
"That is..." Venerable Beiming stared intently, then exclaimed with delight, "Venerable Yanyue and Venerable Tianshi!"
The Venerable Qianwu also recognized the two, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
The other two members of the Firewood Squad are also renowned figures on the original planet.
Although their fame is not as dazzling as that of the Chaos Venerable, their strength is definitely not weak.
"Venerable Flame Moon! Venerable Heavenly Eclipse!" Venerable Dry Witch cried out urgently, "Help! We're being chased!"
Venerable Yan Yue and Lawrence stopped, their gazes sweeping over the dozens of streaks of light that were relentlessly pursuing them in the distance, and then looking at the disheveled Qian Wu and his companion.
"Ganwu Venerable? Beiming Venerable?" Yanyue Venerable raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here...?"
"Don't even mention it!" Venerable Qianwu said with a bitter face. "We found a high-grade treasure weapon as soon as we came in, but before we could even be happy, we were targeted."
"A high-grade treasure weapon?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lawrence's eyes. "Your luck is truly..."
He didn't finish speaking, but the Venerable Qianwu already understood his meaning.
Good luck? Absolutely. I got a high-level treasure as soon as I entered.
Bad luck? It was really bad. As soon as he got his hands on it, he was chased by dozens of powerful alien races and couldn't even run away.
As they spoke, the dozens of streaks of light behind them had caught up and, led by the three cosmic overlords, quickly surrounded them.
Venerable Dongyue's face revealed a mocking expression: "Oh, aren't these the other two members of the Firewood Squad?"
Venerable Mingyan grinned and said, "Venerable Yanyue and Venerable Tianshi, I've heard so much about you. I've heard that you were quite famous in the Seventh Battlefield back then, and even Venerable Chaos was trained by you."
"What a pity..." He deliberately dragged out the sound, "The Chaos Venerable can now snatch treasures from the Lord of the Universe, but your reputations are... tsk tsk tsk."
Shadow Sword Venerable said coldly, "Out of respect for Chaos Venerable, I will not make things difficult for you today. As long as Qianwu hands over that high-grade treasure weapon, all four of you can leave safely."
They were all intimidated by Lin Yuan's reputation, so unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to attack Venerable Yan Yue.
The dozen or so alien venerables behind him also chimed in with sarcastic remarks.
"That's right, be smart. Don't think you can act arrogantly in front of us just because you've benefited from the Chaos Venerable's influence!"
"Venerable Yan Yue, I heard you used to be Venerable Chaos's teacher? Now you're someone else's senior sister, isn't that a huge drop in status?"
"Haha, if you ask me, it must be because the Chaos Venerable's talent is too strong, and she can't teach him, so she has to give way."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's save some face for them."
"Face? Without strength, where does face come from?"
Laughter rose and fell in waves.
The faces of Venerable Qianwu and Venerable Beiming turned ashen, but they dared not refute.
Venerable Yan Yue remained calm, as if he hadn't heard the taunts.
Lawrence simply looked at them indifferently, without saying a word.
"What? Still trying to resist?" Venerable Dongyue sneered. "Yanyue, I know the Chaos Venerable must have given you many treasures, but could those really make your combat power reach the level of a cosmic overlord?"
"Those who know what's good for them will make Qian Wu and the others hand over the treasure right away, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Venerable Yan Yue finally spoke, his voice eerily calm.
"Otherwise?" Venerable Netherflame sneered, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
"The Chaos Venerable is indeed powerful, but who are you two? Do you think you can make us back down?"
"Is that so?" Yan Yue's lips curled into a smile.
next moment--
Boom! Boom!
With a wave of her hand, she and Lawrence conjured two towering giants, each over 100,000 kilometers long, standing tall in the starry sky. Their terrifying pressure caused all the powerful alien beings present to freeze in place.
The Star Prison Demon Lord and the Dragon Lord are no ordinary people, so their disciples, Yan Yue and Lawrence, can even use precious primordial treasures for free.
Of course, Lin Yuan also had this benefit, but his Azure Dragon clone was too big, and his teacher's treasure was being borrowed by his senior sister, so he had to spend money to rent it.
While hundreds of thousands of years may not be enough for the Azure Dragon's body, which spans over 700,000 kilometers, to complete its transformation, it is sufficient for Yan Yue and Lawrence, as both of them now possess at least the strength of a hegemon.
"This is..." Venerable Dongyue's pupils suddenly contracted.
"A massive divine body!" Venerable Netherflame exclaimed in shock.
The Shadow Sword Venerable's expression was grim: "Your divine bodies have already completed their transformation?"
The alien venerables present finally understood why the other party had remained so calm from beginning to end.
It's not resignation, it's disdain.
In their eyes, they were nothing but clowns.
A venerable one murmured, "How is this possible... How can your divine bodies be so large?"
"The Chaos Venerable killed top overlords using a genetic level more than eight thousand times higher and an ultimate secret technique." Another Venerable's voice trembled. "Although they didn't have such a high genetic level, their divine bodies, spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, possessed a total divine power that was thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than ours..."
"How do we fight this battle?"
Venerable Dongyue gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!"
The three cosmic overlords turned and left, while the cosmic venerables behind them were terrified and fled in all directions.
"Trying to run away?"
Venerable Yan Yue sneered and a thought crossed his mind.
Dragon Flame Mystic Heart River, open!
The crimson light curtain spread out instantly from her center, covering an area of fifty million kilometers in the blink of an eye!
"Damn it, it's a domain-type treasure!" a foreign venerable roared in despair.
His speed was suppressed to the extreme, making even flying difficult.
Venerable Dongyue also froze, his speed suddenly decreasing.
He desperately urged the wings on his back, only to find that each step forward required several times the divine power.
"We can't escape like this!" Venerable Dongyue gritted his teeth.
"Then let's fight!" Venerable Netherflame roared.
The three cosmic overlords turned around simultaneously, intending to join forces to launch a counterattack.
But Venerable Yan Yue didn't give them a chance at all.
"Seven Strike Strike of the Fiery Phoenix!"
The massive body raised the enormous Blood Flame Spear, and a crimson pillar of fire condensed at the tip of the spear, piercing through the heavens and earth.
First shot!
The pillar of fire swept across, engulfing Venerable Dongyue.
"Ah!" Venerable Dongyue screamed in agony as his high-grade treasure armor trembled violently, and his divine body suffered more than 10% damage from this attack!
"How is this possible?" Venerable Dongyue exclaimed in horror.
He is protected by a high-grade treasure armor, which ordinary overlords cannot even break through.
But the opponent destroyed 10% of his divine body in one strike. What does that mean?
This means that Venerable Yan Yue's physical attack far surpasses that of ordinary overlords, and may even be close to the level of top overlords!
The second shot!
Unable to dodge in time, Venerable Netherflame was struck head-on by a pillar of fire, losing nine percent of his divine body.
The third shot!
Shadow Sword Venerable parried with his flying sword, but the sword was knocked away, and his divine body suffered an eight percent loss.
Three shots, and all three overlords were seriously injured!
"How is this possible..." Venerable Dongyue's eyes were filled with despair.
They and Venerable Flame Moon were both overlords of the universe, but the opponent's attack power far surpassed theirs, and his divine body was thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger.
This war is simply impossible to fight!
"Split up and escape!" Shadow Sword Venerable shouted, then turned and fled in different directions with his companions.
However, the Dragon Flame Profound Heart River covered too wide an area, suppressing their speed to the extreme, making it impossible for them to escape far.
Just then, Lawrence made his move.
"Emptiness and Myriad Cracks!"
As the Sky-Splitting Sword was unleashed, countless silver threads cleaved the space within a radius of tens of millions of miles into countless fragments, and the three alien overlords were simultaneously enveloped by the sword light.
"No!" Venerable Dongyue roared in despair.
Silver threads pierced through his divine body, and the high-grade treasure armor was as fragile as paper under the sharpness of the top-grade treasure weapon.
The divine body was rapidly depleting, 30%, 40%, 50%...
"Fight them!" Venerable Netherflame frantically burned his divine power.
The Shadow Sword Venerable also detonated his divine body.
Three cosmic overlords simultaneously self-destruct!
Rumble!
Three destructive orbs of light exploded in the void, sending terrifying shockwaves sweeping in all directions.
However, Venerable Yan Yue and Lawrence were prepared and retreated tens of thousands of miles to avoid the core area of the self-destruction.
As for those ordinary Venerable Ones?
They had long been immobilized by the domain of Venerable Yan Yue and were directly annihilated in the self-destruction of the three overlords.
When the light faded, the figures of the three overlords had completely disappeared, leaving only a few treasures floating silently in their place.
"Three high-grade treasure armors, three high-grade treasure weapons, and more than a dozen ordinary treasures..." Venerable Yan Yue waved his hand and put away all the treasures.
"This trip yielded a pretty good harvest, totaling nearly a hundred treasure points."
Lawrence nodded: "It's alright."
He turned to look at the stunned Venerable Qianwu and Venerable Beiming: "Gentlemen, the danger has passed."
The Venerable Qianwu then came to his senses and quickly bowed, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you both for saving my life!"
Venerable Beiming also quickly expressed his gratitude.
"No need to be so polite." Venerable Yan Yue waved his hand. "As fellow human beings, it's only right that we help each other."
She looked at the Venerable Qianwu: "What do you plan to do with that high-grade treasure weapon?"
The Venerable Qianwu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You two saved our lives, so this treasure should naturally belong to you."
Although Venerable Beiming felt sorry for him, he knew it was the right thing to do.
Venerable Yan Yue shook his head: "You were the ones who snatched the treasure first. We just saved you. We'll just give you a small share of the reward."
"How about this..." she said after thinking for a moment, "We only want 40% of the profits, and the rest is yours."
Venerable Qianwu and Venerable Beiming exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
They thought they would be lucky to escape with their lives, but they never expected to gain anything from it.
"This..." Venerable Qianwu was somewhat embarrassed. "Venerable Yanyue, you've taken too little, haven't you? Perhaps..."
"No need to say more," Venerable Yan Yue interrupted him. "It's settled then."
She turned to Lawrence: "What do you think?"
"I'm fine."
