Just as Leopold was preparing to sneak away, no, to find a way to deal with the interstellar beasts at their source, the dense horde of beasts in the distant void started to stir.
Roar!
An angry roar was heard. The expressions of Leopold and Brenda changed.
This was the roar of a celestial dragon beast! Judging from the roar, it was clearly more powerful and resonant than the previous two.
Leopold swept his mental strength toward the direction from which the roar came. He saw a vast horde of celestial dragons rushing towards them.
The barrier formed by the golden light once again failed, exposing the forgotten land to the interstellar beasts. The celestial dragon beast clan had discovered their presence and came to seek revenge.
This was also the difference that Leopold discovered after arriving in the forgotten land.
The interstellar beasts in this voice clearly possessed a certain level of intelligence and racial consciousness, unlike those on Escher Star, which only possessed powerful physiques and bodies but were extremely low in intelligence.
They could even be extremely irritable and easily angered, often killing each other.
Leopold now understood that this was probably the work of the elemental elves, and what they were facing here was a powerful race without any constraints.
They lived in the void. They might fight and devour each other, but every action they took was purposeful. Intelligent interstellar beasts were even more troublesome.
“Everyone, assemble. Prepare for battle!”
Rosam’s voice rang out across this not-so-vast land.
The elementalists were originally enjoying the seafood meal left by Happy Cultivator and imagining him bringing reinforcements. Now they put down their food and started to prepare with extremely solemn expressions.
They could sense that the number of celestial dragon beasts were at least tens of thousands, and most of them were four or five stars in strength. The most deadly thing was that the roaring heavenly dragon beast was clearly at a terrifying nine star level.
In the group of almost two hundred elementalists, the highest level was close to eight stars. What chance did they have of winning?
The answer was already obvious.
It was truly a painful thing to experience despair after hope.
Ivis clenched his fists tightly, recalling the peaceful and bustling beach he had seen in Happy Cultivator’s house, and the magic ship. He couldn’t help smiling bitterly.
Old friend, it looks like I won’t be able to go back to see you again.
He blew his horn with the determination to die. The resounding sound created a wave that traveled far and wide, reaching the foremost celestial dragon beasts.
Hundreds of four and five star celestial dragon beasts exploded upon contact with the sonic waves, turning into blood mist. This fired the first shot of the great battle.
This was the first scene Happy Cultivator saw when he returned to the forgotten land.
He instinctively exclaimed.
He hadn’t turned off the live broadcast, so the screen in front of him was densely covered in text.
[Fk, fk, f*k.]
[What is this? How did the plot just start like this? I haven’t even figured out what is going on yet!]
[Ahhhh, so many monsters! Can I join the fight? I request to join the battle!]
[Don’t release His Majesty Snow and Si Sheng yet. Every time they appear, they wipe out the entire field. Happy Cultivator, go back to Roland! We also have card masters. We can join the battle with you!]
[Yes yes, don’t let those NPCs steal our monsters, okay? Wow, these NPCs are so brave! What level are they? Roland’s secret weapon?]
Happy Cultivator saw the comments and couldn’t help feeling conflicted.
He hadn’t expected the great battle to happen so quickly. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have rashly brought His Majesty Snow over directly.
No matter what, this was the faction leader! Someone who couldn’t be resurrected after death! However, there was Si Sheng…
“Happy Cultivator, why are you back?”
Rosam was the first to spot him and came to his side. Rosam felt both disappointed and relieved when seeing that he was alone.
“Has the news been sent back?”
It was already quite impressive to be able to accurately relay the situation back in such a short time. As for bringing in reinforcements…
How many powerful individuals in Roland were capable of providing reinforcements now?
Happy Cultivator nodded. He was about to say something when Rosam added, “That’s good. You are too weak. Quickly use your abilities to return to Escher Star or else…”
Roar!
The terrifying nine star celestial dragon beast roared as it charged forward.
The unprepared Happy Cultivator watched helplessly as a bright red critical hit number popped up in front of him, and then…
His health bar instantly fell to zero!
Happy Cultivator fell straight to the ground. In his spirit form, he saw the old man, who had always appeared powerful and elegant since their last meeting, staring at his corpse in disbelief. He couldn’t help feeling guilty.
Rosam, still in disbelief, crouched down to check Happy Cultivator’s breathing and heartbeat. Finally, he had to admit the truth.
This young man had indeed been killed by the roar of the celestial dragon beast without any time to save him!
For a moment, Ramon didn’t know what expression to show or how to react. He showed a hint of shock and sadness, but quickly suppressed it.
There was a major battle in front of him and now wasn’t the time to consider this!
At the very least, this young man had relayed their news back and the survivors could prepare in advance!
The old man straightened his back and faced the horde of beasts with a tragic expression.
Meanwhile, the cursing had already begun in Happy Cultivator’s live broadcast room.
[Happy Cultivator, can you be any weaker?]
[Hahaha, this is hilarious. How could he die like that? Is the streamer here to be funny?]
[It might be funny, but are the attack stats of this celestial dragon beast reasonable? A three star elementalist can’t even withstand one roar. How are we supposed to fight it?]
[The question now is if this group of NPCs will die here.]
Happy Cultivator was in agony. He truly hadn’t expected to be so fragile. What to do now? He still had half an hour before he could resurrect and the cards of His Majesty and Si Sheng…
He looked at his belt which had a tool belt attached to it. All the cards were inside.
Just as he was feeling frustrated, he noticed a bright light suddenly emanating from the tool belt.
In the sky, the wind elementalists unleashed their most powerful skills while Rosam used his mental strength to levitate himself in mid-air.
He stared intently at the nine star celestial dragon beast and whispered, “I will take care of this beast. You must hold on until I severely injure it!”
“Rosam, what are you doing?”
For the first time, an almost crazy smile appeared on Rosam’s old face. What was he doing?
Of course, it was a life for a life!
What Roland’s group of powerful figures could do that day, Rosam could do as well!
However, the level difference was too great. Even if he risked his life, he might not be able to kill the monster in front of him. Still, he could at least seriously injure it and buy time for the others.
Just as Rosam started burning his lifespan in preparation for a desperate fight, a hand unexpectedly landed on his shoulder.
Rosam was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see a strange blond-haired man who had appeared beside him at some point.
A white cloak fluttered behind the man. He could vaguely make out the emblem of the Roland Empire embroidered with gold and purple thread!
“You can go down now. I’ll take care of things here.”
The blond-haired man glanced at him indifferently. Then he drew his sword and charged towards the distant celestial dragon beast.
“What are you doing? Come back quickly!”
Rosam realized what the man had done and couldn’t help yelling in the direction the man had gone. However, all he could see was a blinding light. Then…
The nine star celestial dragon beast… roared desperately?
What was going on?
Rosam was safely caught by Brenda. Then he heard a vibrant melody playing in his ears.
Immediately afterwards, the life force that had already been half burned was replenished again!
He looked in the direction of the melody and saw a silver-haired young man standing in mid-air on a flying saucer, playing a short flute.
This flute…
Rosam’s eyes widened. He wasn’t mistaken. This was the flute of the god of music!
A true artifact!
As everyone was stunned by the turn of events, the battle between Si Sheng and the celestial dragon beast continued.
After eight stars, there was a huge gap between every level, let alone the ninth star. Fortunately, Si Sheng was at the same level as a nine star beast.
It wasn’t easy to fight, but there was still a chance of winning.
Moreover, he wasn’t alone.
Xu Sili kept a close eye on Si Sheng’s panel. Once one of the data started to decline, he quickly replenished it.
Compared to the last time Si Sheng fought a nine star beast to obtain the divine artifact, leaving him with only a sliver of health left, Si Sheng was much more comfortable this time.
Thus, the celestial dragon beast discovered in despair that as time passed, its opponent showed no signs of fatigue, but was also becoming increasingly fierce.
This was Xu Sili’s newly learned sound skill, which increased critical hit rate and critical hit damage. Combine this with Si Sheng’s powerful skills and the effect was simply amazing!
In less than ten minutes, the once majestic nine star celestial dragon beast was completely crippled by Si Sheng.
It tried to run away after sensing that something was wrong, but Si Sheng didn’t give it a chance at all. The moment it showed a weakness, he cut it in half with a sword!
After the death of the nine star celestial dragon beast, the remaining ones were terrified and turned to run away. However, how could Xu Sili let them go?
He immediately threw out the card he had prepared long ago.
A swarm of zergs burst forth from the card, sweeping towards the celestial dragon beasts. The swarm was already ravenous and left only star cores in their air in their wake.
Yes, these carefully cultivated zerg didn’t eat star cores.
Xu Sili never expected that the zerg, originally prepared for Escher Star, would be so useful here.
This was the lair of the interstellar beasts, so he didn’t need to worry too much. He could simply use the zerg to set up a defensive line here!
This could even be turned into a new instance, offering various support options to allow players to explore the territory of the interstellar beasts. It could probably become popular very quickly.
In a short time, he had already thought of various arrangements for the future, but there were more important things to deal with right now.
Seeing Si Sheng return with the star core of the nine star beast, Xu Sili turned around and looked down at the elementalists staring at them. He slowly descended and landed on the ground.
Leopold stepped out from the crowd and approached the silver-haired young man who had suddenly appeared and together with his companion, turned the tide using unexpected means.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, he couldn’t help tearing up.
Despite his previous attempts to avoid the situation, he couldn’t help feeling excited and joyful when he saw his son again.
His son’s appearance and demeanor had changed drastically, but he still recognized him.
“Snow…”
His voice trembled.
Xu Sili recognized him at a glance. The man looked older and more haggard than when he was in the trial world. Xu Sili met his father’s burning gaze and didn’t know how to face him for a moment.
The initially excited and joyful Leopold gradually developed doubts. His steps slowed down until he stopped a step away from Xu Sili.
Apart from his face, the young man in front of him bore almost no resemblance to his youngest son.
Leopold’s feverish mind calmed down as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
“You…” He said hesitantly. “Are you really Snow?”
Xu Sili smiled bitterly.
As expected, the former emperor was still so perceptive. Nothing could be hidden from him.
“I’m not…”
How do you know you aren’t?
A light, melodious voice suddenly rang in their ears. Then the colorful crystal above them suddenly shone brightly.
A bright light enveloped the two of them.
