Chapter 1359: The Seven Stars Stele
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The seventh universe was still the universe of dragons, where the Megadragons lived!
Guided by Feng Tingyu, Xia Fei carefully moved God’s Eden, avoiding areas dragons were known to frequent.
This warship made by the Four Sky Devils was rather strange, moving across space like a shark. No matter how fast it was moving, it made no sound, as if it was one with the sea of stars.
The warriors in the garden were brimming with energy. Although the Megadragons were cruel and powerful foes, nothing could get a warrior’s blood pumping more than a fierce battle!
Everyone knew that this would be a battle to the death! If the Megadragons were able to get out of the seventh universe, their families would all be doomed.
!!
Moreover, the news that the Devil Shadow Dragoons had held fast against the Megadragons for eons indicated that this strongest army of the universe was still there! Now that they had reinforcements, everyone felt like they might have a chance against the Megadragons.
Of course, there were still some people who weren’t that happy, like the four Soul Familiars. They obeyed the Sky Devils, but as they didn’t like being commanded by others, they had a very stiff relationship with the Fiend Race. When they arrived at the Seven Stars Stele, they might even get into an argument with the Devil Shadow Dragoons there, a thought which gave Xia Fei a headache.
“We have to be careful starting now. We’re around thirty minutes away from the Seven Stars Stele. In order to keep an eye on us, the Megadragons have placed many spies nearby,” Feng Tingyu said grimly.
Xia Fei nodded. He asked curiously, “Elder, you can’t see with your eyes, so how can you know everything so clearly? You have a precise grasp on everything from the coordinates to flight speed.”
Before Feng Tingyu could reply, Little Wu piped up, “Grandpa Feng is a formidable searcher! He’s like a super radar! Even if he can’t see, he can clearly observe his surroundings. That’s why the Dragoons gave the two of us the mission of keeping an eye on the Cosmic Gate…”
Xia Fei was taken aback. If Little Five was telling the truth, Feng Tingyu had to be capable of using the Law of Search to an absurd level! This was truly the most Fiendish Dragoon force, home to all sorts of monsters!
Xia Fei suddenly had an idea and called over Xia Geng. He said to the best searcher of the Skywing Clan, “Xia Geng, this grand ancestor is a Searching master. If you have the time, you should go and learn something from Grandpa Feng.”
Xia Geng quickly nodded in agreement, and Feng Tingyu patted Xia Geng on the shoulder in satisfaction. To speak frankly, for Xia Geng to have reached this level at his young age indicated that he was very talented.
Suddenly, Feng Tingyu froze, and then he frowned as he looked into the distance and called out quickly, “Not good! A Night Owl! The beast noticed us!”
“Where!?” Xia Fei asked urgently.
“Eleven degrees in front of us! But it’s too far! Have someone skilled in long-range attacks come out! See if they can strike it down!” Feng Tingyu replied quickly.
Xia Geng was startled and hastened to find the ancestors of the Aurora Clan. Those old fellows were experts in long-range, wide-area attacks.
But then there was a bang, and Xia Fei shot off in a blast of ghostly flame.
Closing the distance! Distance had never been a problem for speed warriors!
This was the first time many people saw Xia Fei’s Critical Strike! The powerful technique could instantly push Xia Fei to his maximum speed of over one hundred million meters per second! With his strange broken wings, black fiend energy, and green ghostly fire, Xia Fei became the strangest comet in the universe, dazzling to behold!
Xia Geng slapped his head and said awkwardly, “I forgot that Xia Fei could travel at more than one hundred million meters per second. A small matter like this doesn’t need anyone else.”
*Clap!*
Two powerful hands gripped Xia Geng’s shoulder. Feng Tingyu’s disheveled hair had exploded! He demanded loudly, “Say that again!? Xia Fei can travel faster than one hundred million meters per second!?”
“Yes, Xia Fei’s maximum speed really does exceed one hundred million! We Skywings are all speedsters, but none of us is as fast as Xia Fei. Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng has mastered the Law of Speed, but he’s still not even half as fast as Xia Fei. Xia Fei is the fastest of the Skywings, perhaps the fastest in the universe!” Xia Geng declared proudly.
“A speedster! One who can travel faster than one hundred million meters per second, at maximum rank!!!” Feng Tingyu was on the verge of madness, leaning back and laughing loudly, “The heavens have not forsaken me!!! A speed warrior! These are truly formidable reinforcements! The Devil Shadow Dragoons have held the Seven Stars Stele for countless epochs, and the truly powerful reinforcements have finally arrived!!”
Feng Tingyu asked excitedly, “Since they’re peak rank, those two should both be Fiendwings, right!? Am I right, am I right!?”
Xia Geng sighed. “Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng has a pair of Fiendwing, but Xia Fei is very unfortunate, for his Fiendwings are broken.”
“He’s a Broken Wing!?” Feng Tingyu cried out in joy, and then he fainted.
—
By that point, Xia Fei had already caught up to that monster known as a Night Owl. It was a dark creature with an appearance like that of a dragon, though much smaller than a Megadragon, and it was extremely fast!
Whoosh!
The five-colored Peacock Blue erupted out like the hand of a Sky Devil, seizing the Night Owl.
The Night Owl was a savage creature, turning its head to Xia Fei and roaring, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth!
“Quite the fierce fellow!?” Xia Fei remarked angrily as he frowned.
*Sprack!*
The Nirvana Fiend Blade chopped the Night Owl to bits and sucked its essence blood, turning it to dust!
With Origin of Heaven, Xia Fei looked around and determined that there were no other threats. In a flash of motion, he returned to God’s Eden. All of this had taken place in the span of only a few seconds!
By this time, Chu Jingfeng had already revived Feng Tingyu. He grabbed Xia Fei’s hand and said nothing, so excited that he was on the verge of tears.
“What’s going on?” Xia Fei asked.
Xia Geng replied, “I said that your Fiendwings were broken. Old Feng might have been so saddened that he fainted.”
Xia Fei was speechless. It wasn’t like he could do anything about his broken Fiendwings. Moreover, while his Fiendwings were broken, his speed hadn’t been reduced, so it was no big deal. Why was this old man so heartbroken about it?
“The Night Owl is dead?” Feng Tingyu asked first.
“Mm, I killed it,” Xia Fei confirmed.
“Very good. The Night Owls are a draconid variant. They are spies for the dragons and most wicked. Killing one will reduce the threat to Seven Stars Stele. Make a turn up in front and enter the nebula. There, you will find Seven Stars Stele!” Feng Tingyu directed him.
—
Whoosh! As God’s Eden broke through the nebula, it came up on a large planet. Upon this planet stood several enormous stone steles.
There were seven steles. The first was the shortest, standing at around one hundred kilometers. The seventh was the tallest, exceeding one thousand kilometers. The round steles were lined up as if they were a stairway to heaven.
Each stele had an image of a star carved in it, the lines simple and harsh, exuding an ancient majesty.
“This is the Seven Stars Stele, an important node of the universe and the last fortress of the Devil Shadow Dragoons!” Feng Tingyu proclaimed sternly.
Many bunkers had been built up around the Seven Star Steles. The Devil Shadow Dragoons had always set up bases, both for areas they were garrisoned in and even when they were on the march. Countless bunkers ringed the planet, making the defense watertight, and surrounding space had even more defenses, many hidden with the dark nebula.
God’s Eden floated in the air as Xia Fei and the others disembarked.
The Dragoons of Seven Stars Stele had heard the news, and many resting Dragoons were already waiting to see Xia Fei and the others. They cheered and embraced the newcomers.
It was clear that the Dragoons had had a very hard time. Their faces were weathered, and their armor and weapons all showed signs of being repaired many times.
It had been too long. The Devil Shadow Dragoons had been holding the seventh universe for too long! Even though they had brought a vast amount of supplies with them, over the many years, they had all run out. Xia Fei’s group’s arrival was like a delivery of coal in the middle of a blizzard, propping up the faltering Dragoons and injecting them with a stimulant!
“Yangguang! It’s really King Yangguang!”
“And someone from the Chu Clan! The Chu Clan that protects God’s Eden!”
Old Yangguang and Chu Jingfeng had deep connections to the Fiend Race and the Devil Shadow Dragoons, and the Devil Shadow Dragoons quickly warmed up to them.
Xia Fei ordered the treasures of the Fiend Race’s three great storehouses to be brought out and everything distributed to the warriors. Xia Fei had plundered those storehouses precisely because he had predicted that the Devil Shadow Dragoons would be lacking equipment.
The Fiend Race’s warriors were naturally most comfortable when using the weapons of the Fiend Race!
“Eh? Isn’t this your clan’s symbol? I remember that you left this armor for your son before setting out. You even bragged about it to me, saying that it was forged from a thousand kilos of Cold Iron and that it was priceless. Why is it here?” A warrior had spotted a familiar suit of armor and asked his comrade about it.
The bearded Fiend Race warrior was stunned, and then he hugged the armor while calling out his son’s name.
Everyone was speechless. From the moment the Devil Shadow Dragoons were locked up in the seventh universe, Annihilation had executed a cruel genocidal plan! They had purged the remaining Fiends from the universe!
The treasures of the three great storehouses had been collected from all the various clans, and the owners of those items had naturally suffered tragic fates!
Yangguang and Xia Fei looked at each other and sighed.
With no other choice, Yangguang told the living Dragoons everything he knew.
Upon learning of the fates of their loved ones, the last Devil Shadow Dragoons all became crazed demons! Their eyes turned red!
While the warriors had been struggling valiantly at the front line, Azure Moon and his pack of scoundrels were stabbing them in the back! How could one endure this? How could one endure it!?
The armor and weapons were cleaned, and then they were laid out on the ground while the surviving Dragoons wept bitterly over their loved ones. Each piece of equipment was a life! An innocent life!
At this moment, that bearded warrior, his eyes red, equipped the suit of armor that had belonged to his son!
“Captain, what are you doing?” someone asked.
“What’s the point of grieving? I will wear my son’s armor and kill all my enemies! Exterminate those annoying dragons! Even if I have to destroy this universe! I won’t be stopping! This will be the best way to remember my loved ones! Let our enemies pay in blood!” the weather man spoke savagely!
“Yes! Blood for blood!”
“Blood for blood!”
“Blood for blood!”
Murderous intent erupted! Waves of sound swept through the world!
It was like the unstoppable Fiend army from eons ago had reappeared!
At this moment, three people rushed out from the distance, the blind Feng Tingyu following behind them. It appeared that Feng Tingyu had called them here.
An old man walked at the front and shouted into the crowd, “Which one is Broken Wing Xia Fei!? The warrior who can travel faster than one hundred million meters per second!?”
Xia Fei took a few steps forward and answered, “I’m Xia Fei! And you are?”
“Raksha!”
“Ding Hai!”
“This old man is Nalan Wufa!” the elder at the front declared with a majestic demeanor.
