Chapter 351 – The Top-Tier Armament’s Power Is Overwhelming

Their eyes met.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Kalador quickly regained his composure.

“Boom!”

An aura erupted from him like a sudden storm, channeled through his twin swords by the immense power of the fourteen star acupoints within him and the inherent energy of the sky armament.

These superalloy long swords, infused with rare Starry Sky metals, could easily tear through the armor of an Earth level Mecha.

Under the infusion of tremendous energy, the two swords vibrated at an ultra-high frequency, emitting dazzling light.

The hands of the young man holding the tips of the two swords were rapidly cut, bleeding profusely.

Kalador’s eyes turned icy. He pressed down on the swords, ready to cleave his opponent in half.

But at that moment, he noticed the young man’s eyes.

He saw that the originally black pupils suddenly turned Scarlet, splitting in two and blooming like a lotus, rotating…

“Ming King. Dual Lotus Rotation. Divine Energy!”

A calm voice whispered in his ear.

Before Kalador could react, he saw the young man’s elaborate armor and mask shatter completely like snowflakes, turning into thick black smoke.

Then, suddenly…

“Boom!”

A terrifying burst of energy akin to a massive landslide and tsunami exploded outwards, giving Kalador an overwhelming feeling of suffocation for an instant.

A split second later.

“Rumble-“

Accompanied by the rolling Thunder and a deep rumbling sound resembling a mountain collapsing, a surge of dense, almost tangible energy quickly spread out… A massive blood-red shadow rapidly rose before his eyes…

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Kalador staggered backward uncontrollably under the pressure of this formidable aura.

He drove his twin swords into the ground, the fourteen brilliant star acupoints around him glowing intensely, the sky armament’s engines roaring…

But even with all his power unleashed to the limit, he couldn’t stop his backward momentum, being forced back several tens of meters before he could barely halt his retreat.

“Damn it!”

Kalador, both shocked and horrified, gritted his teeth and looked up.

The next second he froze.

All he saw were two tree-trunk thick legs towering above him.

As he tilted his head further back to see his opponent in full, an overpowering sense of suffocation welled up from deep within him…

Before him stood a figure fifteen meters tall, like a colossal mountain.

With three heads and six arms, its dark body was covered in flickering scarlet red sparks.

On its chest silently bloomed an exotic and beautiful blood flower.

Terrifying waves of evil energy emanated from this form, spreading outward, compressing the air, and causing a series of rapid explosions…

Upon seeing the three-headed six-armed form, Xilin, not far away, felt as though he had been struck by a powerful electric current, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

A long-faded shadow in his mind suddenly became vivid, merging with the figure before him, expanding rapidly…

…

“What is this…”

In the meeting room, all the leaders were stunned at the sight of the three-headed six-armed blood red figure projected on the light screen.

“Isn’t that the Xia State’s demon blade that caused a commotion with the Phoenix Feather?!”

“Are they the same person?!”

Everyone was momentarily taken aback.

After a brief pause, the room was filled with low, urgent voices.

“Is it the same person?”

“Yes.”

“What level is the evil energy wave?”

“Seventh… seventh stage.”

“Hiss-“

The room filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath.

Everyone’s faces showed a mix of astonishment and disbelief.

Double seventh stage!

Double seventh stage power of the evil deity.

This was extraordinarily rare even in the history of the Hidden Star.

For a moment, the room buzzed with the low hum of whispered conversations.

The head of the distant star federation, pressing both hands against the table, took a deep breath. A few seconds later, he regained his composure and sat back down.

“Why didn’t the divinity suppression device work?”

“Not clear…”

The glasses-wearing man shook his head. “I’ll have someone investigate it as soon as possible…”

“Forget it,” the head of the distant star federation waved his hand dismissively. “Send Tudor there immediately.”

The glasses-wearing man hesitated.

“But Tudor’s current mission is only halfway through. Pulling him might cause the operation to fail…”

“Didn’t you hear what I said? Forget that for now. Have Tudor go over there immediately!” The head of the distant star federation ordered coldly.

The glasses-wearing man quickly nodded, “Yes, sir.”

After the glasses-wearing man left, the head of the distant star federation stared at the light screen’s display with a dark expression, his eyes flickering.

“Xia State’s demon blade… Xia State…”

“Humph!”

…

The figure with three heads and six arms stood silently, casting a massive blood-red shadow that engulfed Kalador completely.

Kalador snapped out of his brief stupor.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, he slowly assumed a combat stance.

The sky armament’s super energy engine emitted a beast-like roar, and a vast amount of cosmic energy surged from his fourteen star acupoints.

Gripping his twin swords tightly, Kalador felt his mind gradually calm even under the oppressive and terrifying evil energy that seemed to solidify the air around him.

He closed his eyes.

In his mind, the pattern of his natal star diagram faintly emerged, with fourteen illuminated star acupoints lighting up one by one on the star diagram.

When a faintly discernible cross pattern appeared…

Kalador’s eyes snapped open, bursting with radiant energy.

“Cross…Star Flare Strike!”

“Buzz!”

The roar of the sky armament’s super energy engine reached its peak.

Clad in starlight and wielding twin swords, Kalador soared upwards like a dragon swimming through the cosmos.

Invisible star diagram power enveloped his twin swords.

Gathering immense energy, the blades glowed, extending several dozen meters long and forming a cross shape in the sky. He then slashed down fiercely at the fifteen-meter-tall three-headed six-armed giant below.

Kalador swore that this was undoubtedly the most powerful strike he had ever unleashed.

In the instant his sword descended, he felt that nothing in the world could withstand this blow.

His mind was crystal-clear. The fifteenth position on his star diagram began to faintly glow, as though his understanding of mystical power had reached a new level.

High-stage of the sixth-stage… Seventh stage…

He saw higher realms beckoning to him.

“A formidable enemy ignites my potential, and battle aids my breakthrough! I must thank you for the pressure; it’s the best resource on my path to supreme strength!”

Kalador’s eyes sparkled, his gaze resolute. An inexplicable brilliance radiated from his face and his entire being was filled with an unstoppable aura.

With exhilarating abandon, he swung his almighty sword…

Slash…

Slash!!!

Why couldn’t it cut through?

“Uh… why won’t it slice through?”

Kalador suddenly realized that his unstoppable, dragon-like momentum was stuck midway and wouldn’t advance.

Not only that, his descending body was also held in place.

Below him, there seemed to be an indomitable, invisible wall that blocked him in midair!

“What’s going on?”

Kalador’s eyes widened when he noticed that his sky armament-covered hands were being tightly gripped by-one, two, three…

Six incredibly thick arms.

The massive sword light, several dozen meters long, hung suspended just a few meters above the opponent’s head, but it simply refused to descend.

“Are you kidding me?!”

Both shocked and furious, Kalador roared, frantically channeling cosmic energy within him.

Terrifying energy fluctuations radiated from his body in waves. He was exerting so much force that veins bulged on his forehead.

Even the fifteenth star acupoint in his body seemed on the verge of activating!

But…

The six sturdy arms gripping his own felt like immovable mountains.

They transmitted an oceanic, overwhelming force.

With his eyes wide open, Kalador watched as his interlocked hands were slowly and forcibly pried apart.

The cross-shaped dazzling sword light split into two segments, and the invisible power swirling around his long sword dissipated…

“Ming King Grandmaster Divine Elephant Style… Great Monument Crushing!”

A deep, calm voice echoed in Kalador’s ears, catching him off guard. His body helplessly rose into the air.

Then…

“Boom!”

The entire valley seemed to shake violently. Debris cascaded from the walls of the valley in heaps, and magma surged from the depths below.

Lu Yuan’s six arms tightly gripped Kalador’s two, hoisting him from the massive crater.

Then, lifting him overhead once more…

“Ming King Grandmaster Divine Elephant Style… Consecutive Great Monument Crushing!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

With each thunderous crash, the valley’s ground continued to tremble and quiver.

Rocks fell in abundance, fissures opened in the earth, and dark red magma rivers gushed forth.

Each earth-shattering impact made it seem like the entire valley might collapse at any moment.

Finally, the booming ceased.

Lu Yuan paused, holding Kalador by one arm, lifting him as effortlessly as if he were a small chick, and scrutinizing him closely.

Kalador, now in tatters, wore his moon-white sky armament, which was riddled with cracks and sparking with electrical discharges.

Many parts were twisted and shattered, revealing the limbs tucked beneath.

Kalador’s protective mask was shattered, exposing half his face and one eye that was wide open, almost tearing apart from the corner.

That eye was filled with unspeakable shock, fear, despair, and hopelessness…

“Tsk…”

Lu Yuan noticed Kalador’s still-moving eye and couldn’t help but be impressed.

“Surviving that? Your defense is incredible. This must be a sky-level armed mecha!”

He observed Kalador for a moment, thoroughly impressed.

“The attributes of top-tier armament are truly formidable! It really makes someone like me, who fights barehanded, feel deeply powerless…”

With a sigh, Lu Yuan casually tossed Kalador lightly into the air.

Kalador soared to the highest point before descending.

In the instant he reached a certain precise position…

Lu Yuan’s six palms suddenly clasped together towards the airborne Kalador, as if swatting a mosquito… and slammed down hard!

“Ming King Grandmaster Divine Elephant Style… Great Thunderclap Palm!”

“Bang! Boom!”

As the six palms met, a thunderous, soul-shaking clap resounded, and a visible shockwave burst forth from Lu Yuan’s hands.

The shockwave swept through the deep valley, whipping up ferocious winds and causing massive cracks to spread across the ground.

When Lu Yuan’s six palms finally released, a twisted, concave mass of humanoid metal fell from the sky, landing with a thud and losing all capacity for movement.

Having finished, Lu Yuan turned, thoroughly satisfied.

Looking around, he was taken aback to see everyone in the valley eerily silent, as though they had collectively perished.

Each person stood frozen, staring at him.

Their expressions were blank, their bodies unmoving, and their eyes vacant and unfocused.

It was as if…

Their souls had been entirely extracted from their bodies.
