887: A bloody battle ensues, and the star core escapes.

Earth-shattering shouts, the explosion of energy, the terrifying hissing of the Insect Race, and the enraged roars of powerful beings—these countless sounds intertwined like a violent torrent, playing a symphony of death.

Amidst the shouts, warriors of the Human Race and Yao Race, with a resolve to die, cried out as they charged towards the enemy, their voices seemingly piercing the clouds.

When energy exploded, the powerful impact shattered everything around it.

The booming sounds of "Boom—Boom—" continuously echoed in their ears.

The Insect Race's hissing was sharp and ear-piercing, like demons from Hell roaring, sending chills down one's spine.

Blood flowed freely like a red river, staining the scorched earth with a shocking color.

Dismembered limbs scattered everywhere like broken dolls, some falling onto burning ruins, others into blood puddles emitting a pungent odor.

Energy storms raged like 瘋狂 beasts; wherever they passed, everything was thrown into chaos, trees were uprooted, and boulders were crushed into powder.

On this chaotic battlefield, the Nine Great Monarchs, the Four Insect Emperors and Protectors, the top Sequencers of the Human Race and Yao Race, as well as the endless tide of insects and warriors of various races, were locked in the most brutal melee.

They were like mad fighters, brandishing their weapons and unleashing powerful energy; every collision seemed capable of causing a small catastrophe.

Emperor Soul's eyes were as cold as millennia-old Mystic Ice; he stood on a high point of the battlefield, calmly directing the overall situation.

Evil Crimson Fang, on the other hand, laughed wildly, his laughter like the hoot of a night owl, full of madness and bloodlust.

He exuded a strong aura of blood Qi, like a demon from Hell, directly withstanding the combined aftershocks of Mystic Lotus and several other Monarchs.

Each impact of the aftershock made his body tremble slightly, but he showed no fear, growing stronger with each fight.

And just as the great battle had begun earlier, Dragon Xuanyuan and Bai Yuan of the Great Xia Alliance finally arrived on the battlefield.

Both had already reached the Late Stage of the Third Tier; their bodies exuded a powerful and stable Qi, like two unshakable mountains.

With the blessings of many top-grade saint relics, their strength had been greatly enhanced.

Those saint relics shimmered with mysterious light, emanating ancient and powerful energy.

Even several Protectors working together could only barely block their attacks.

But this was only to delay some time, a scene that instantly boosted the morale of the Three Great Human Alliances.

Seeing the arrival of Dragon Xuanyuan and Bai Yuan, they seemed to see the hope of victory; they shouted and charged more bravely towards the enemy.

Dragon Xuanyuan held the Xuanyuan Sword, its blade shining with light as brilliant as the sun.

With every swing of his sword, he could unleash a huge Sword Light that streaked across the sky like a meteor, forcing several Insect Race Protectors besieging them to retreat repeatedly.

Bai Yuan, on the other hand, held a longsword; his Sword Qi was as dazzling as the Nine Heavens' Milky Way, and malevolent Qi intertwined, forming a huge net that tightly trapped the enemies within it.

Miles spread his arms, releasing a Holy Light barrier that shimmered with a soft glow like clear crystal, blocking the surrounding Insect Race.

Constantine roared to the sky, his battle Qi rampaging through the insect swarm like a giant Dragon; wherever it passed, the Insect Race turned into a bloody pulp.

The Jade Ancestral Spirit Vine extended countless vines, surging like a jade ocean; these vines, like nimble tentacles, tightly coiled around the Insect Race, strangling them.

The Eight Great Demon Emperors each displayed their Divine Ability, stirring up a bloody storm in the sea of insects.

Sequencers like Shadow and Luyin also took action, their eyes firm, with only one goal in mind.

They also wanted to contend for the Star Core emitting a mysterious aura, or rush to Brother Wu Ji's side to provide him support.

And Luo Xiu was recovering from his injuries under the protection of Yue Shan.

Yue Shan stood beside Luo Xiu like a majestic mountain, exuding a powerful protective force that blocked the surrounding dangers.

But even so, Luo Xiu still endured the pain, watching the Star Core and the figure of Li Wuji beneath it.

Just at this moment when the battle was deadlocked and the killing intent reached its peak—

Om—!!!

An irresistible tremor, originating from the deepest part of the Soul, suddenly swept through all powerhouses of the Third Tier and above on the battlefield!

The tremor was like a cold electric current, instantly spreading throughout their bodies, causing them to tremble involuntarily.

Their eyes were filled with shock, as if they had felt a terrifying power from another world.

Immediately after, everyone clearly "saw," or rather, perceived—above the Kunlun Core, the sky that had just been ravaged by the terrifying battle began to twist without warning!

The twisted sky was like a crumpled cloth, constantly changing shape, as if an invisible giant hand was manipulating it.

Suddenly, a huge five-clawed Divine Dragon phantom, only a few meters long but majestic and sacred, appeared out of thin air.

The Divine Dragon phantom emitted a brilliant light, as if composed of countless stars.

Its scales shimmered with golden light, each seemingly containing powerful energy.

And at the center of the Dragon's brow was the dazzling Star Core, emitting the vast Origin Qi of the Universe, making the Souls of all living beings tremble.

The Star Core was like a giant gem, emitting a soft yet powerful light, as if it were the core of the Universe.

Then, before everyone could react, the Divine Dragon phantom flashed and vanished as if teleporting, rushing into the depths of the passage!

Its speed was dazzling, like a golden lightning bolt.

Closely following it, two figures, moving at a speed beyond the limits of perception and exuding vastly different but equally terrifying auras, also instantly disappeared into the passage like meteors chasing the moon!

The two figures were like specters, flashing by in an instant, leaving behind only two blurry light trails.

"My Lord!"

"Master!"

Whether it was Emperor Soul and others from the Insect Race, or the participating Sequencers, they all cried out in surprise.

Their voices were filled with excitement and awe, as if they had seen the deity in their hearts.

"Star Core!!!"

"It escaped?!"

"Chase! Quick, chase!!!"

After a brief, deathly silence, the Monarchs let out roars that could overturn the sky, mixed with ecstasy, greed, astonishment, and madness!

All battles, all hatred, all strategies, at this moment, were completely crushed by the escaped Star Core and the two figures closely following it!

They had only one goal in their hearts—to catch the Star Core!

To seize the creation of the Universe's Origin! The Star Core seemed to possess an invisible magic, attracting them to pursue it at all costs.
