230: Chapter 230 The Pillar of Destruction, the Terrifying Star-Eating Creature

Lin Yun patted his lapels, his expression calm: "I am fine."

The Governor did not waste words: "What is the specific situation? How did you alert it?"

Lin Yun replied truthfully: "I was pursuing a Mountain-Swallowing Armadillo in the underground karst cave when I accidentally discovered this space."

"At the time, I did not know it was a Star-Devouring Creature. I wanted to get closer to check the situation, but I ended up being discovered."

As he spoke, he brought up the footage recorded on his Communicator.

Everyone gathered around, looking at the clear image...

In the massive underground space, blue light was like a sea, and a giant plant filled the heavens and earth.

Where the flowing light gathered, blue crystals were dazzling and eye-catching.

"plant essence!" The Principal of Yunan Prefecture exclaimed!

Everyone's eyes instantly became heated.

Those crystals were all condensed from plant essence!

And looking at their size, a single one was worth a fortune!

Principal Yang Qi was both surprised and angry. He reached out and patted Lin Yun's shoulder: "You brat, don't act recklessly just because you see treasure. It's fortunate you're okay!"

Lin Yun showed a look of regret on his face: "It is a pity that my strength is insufficient; I could not obtain even one, missing out on an Opportunity in vain."

Upon hearing this, everyone praised him: "Being able to escape from under the nose of a Star-Devouring Creature is already a great stroke of luck!"

"Indeed, if it were us, we might not have been able to escape unscathed."

"A young hero; the younger generation is truly formidable!"

Lin Yun acted humble on the outside, but inside, he was already beaming with joy.

Those sixteen pieces in his Space Ring were enough to keep him secretly happy.

The Governor waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go see what that thing actually looks like."

Seventeen figures soared into the air, flying towards the giant pit.

Lin Yun did not follow. The Starlight Grass's aggro was entirely on him; going there would be suicide.

Besides, the harvest in his Space Ring had already made him a killing.

...After flying for a while longer, a large number of anti-gravity vehicles appeared on the horizon. They were densely packed, numbering at least a thousand.

The most luxurious anti-gravity vehicle at the front detached from the convoy and flew in front of Lin Yun.

The car door opened, and ten figures rushed over!

"Husband~!!!" Su Yingxue took the lead, the women shouted as they rushed over, surrounding him completely.

Each of their eyes was red, and their faces were full of nervousness and lingering fear.

Qiao Shiyu threw herself into his arms, her small fists pounding on his chest: "You scared me to death! You scared me to death!"

Lin Yun hugged and kissed them one by one. He spoke softly, telling them he was fine and not to worry.

When it was Shen Qingqiu's turn, she stepped back: "I will pass."

Lin Yun's hand froze in mid-air, causing the women to cover their mouths and giggle, instantly easing the previously tense atmosphere.

Qiao Shiyu leaned into Lin Yun's ear: "Husband, Aunt is shy."

Lin Yun retracted his hand and shrugged.

...The women chattered, asking about what happened underground, and Lin Yun briefly told them by selecting the safe parts.

He then took everyone to start the anti-gravity vehicle and followed the convoy to watch the commotion.

The Governor had long since issued an emergency evacuation order, strictly forbidding ordinary Martial Artists and students from approaching.

But there were too many curious people. anti-gravity vehicles, aircraft, private spaceships... they were densely packed, surrounding from afar, all wanting to see this legendary Star-Devouring Creature with their own eyes.

...In front of the giant pit. Seventeen figures hovered in the air.

The scene before them made everyone's expressions solemn.

In a short time, the giant pit had expanded from thirty kilometers to a range of one hundred kilometers.

Cracks in the earth crisscrossed, and heart-palpitating tremors constantly came from deep within.

"Too terrifying..." A principal's face turned pale.

"If it had been discovered a few thousand years later, the entire Minglu Planet would have been hollowed out and eaten by it!"

The Governor raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Don't rush down yet. We have the planetary defense System; let's bombard it first."

Everyone was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

The planet-level destructive main cannon was rarely used under normal circumstances. They did not expect that it would actually be used to deal with this Starlight Grass today.

The ten-minute preparation time passed in a flash. Boom!!!

Above the horizon, the Void Realm twisted slightly.

A blinding white destructive beam of light, several hundred meters thick, descended from the sky.

Like a Spear of Judgment sent by a Heavenly God, it slammed fiercely into the depths of the giant pit!

The intense light instantly engulfed everything. A terrifying shockwave swept across all directions.

The earth shook violently, and the air was instantly vaporized.

Visible shockwaves spread wildly in rings. Distant mountain ranges were directly leveled. Dust and smoke shot straight up into the clouds, ten thousand meters high.

Shocking, violent, world-destroying! Everyone was so shocked by this scene that their bodies went numb, and they even forgot to breathe.

One, two, three... continuous destructive beams of light fell one after another, and the bombardment lasted for a full ten minutes.

The entire giant pit area was completely shrouded in flames and dust, and the earth was left devastated.

Lin Yun watched, his heart stirred. This was the top-tier weapon of the interstellar era; its power was far more terrifying than Martial Artist combat, simply incredibly fierce.

The giant pit expanded further under the artillery fire, bottomless.

Everyone was full of anticipation, hoping that this wave of attacks could directly kill the Starlight Grass.

Only the experts above the fourth rank remained calm. They knew in their hearts that this level of attack, for the terrifyingly sized Starlight Grass, would at most cause serious injury.

The Governor said in a deep voice: "Prepare yourselves; it won't die that easily."

Seventeen fourth-rank Martial Artists simultaneously activated their Martial Dao Golden Cores! A terrifying aura rose like a tsunami!

The dust cleared. The earth shook. It became increasingly violent.

Countless leaves, like giant pythons, reached out from the giant pit, dancing wildly!

Seventeen figures, like seventeen meteors, rushed into the giant pit!

Sword light, blade radiance, fist energy, palm wind... The full-strength strike of a fourth-rank Martial Artist, every strike had the power to destroy the world!

Leaves were shattered, sap splattered! But more leaves surged out from the giant pit!

An earth-shaking battle lasted for a full half hour!

Boom!!! A figure flew backward! It was the Principal of Yunan Prefecture!

Immediately after, one figure after another flew out from the battlefield!

Finally, countless leaves surged out like giant waves!

New fourth-rank Martial Artists arrived and joined the battlefield! Dozens of figures fought with countless leaves in a chaotic melee! The scene was soul-stirring!

Another several tens of minutes passed. The leaves finally retreated.

The fourth-rank experts hovered in the air, looking at each other, each with lingering fear.

The Principal of Yunan Prefecture panted, his voice hoarse: "This guy... isn't its body too big? The main trunk is over ten kilometers; the previous destructive beam of light was basically just scratching an itch for it!"

The Principal of Pingling's face turned pale: "Fortunately I ran fast just now, otherwise..."

The seventeen people who went in were all injured. Someone asked: "What now?"

The Imperial Star Instructor said in a deep voice: "Wait. More fourth-rank Martial Artists are still arriving."

...Lin Yun watched the flowing lights constantly gathering in the distance, his heart shocked.

One, two, ten, twenty... Half an hour later, eighty-four figures had already gathered in front of the giant pit!

Minglu Planet actually has so many fourth-rank Martial Artists?!

The Governor looked around, his voice resonant and powerful: "Everyone is here."

As the words fell, the horizon lit up again! The planetary defense main cannon had finished recharging again!

This time, the artillery fire did not stop for even a moment, continuously bombarding for several full hours.

Not until the planetary defense System's energy was completely exhausted did the world gradually return to silence.

The giant pit had long since expanded to hundreds of kilometers, and the bottom of the deep pit was scorched earth.

The Governor raised his hand and swung it down violently. "Attack!"

Eighty-four fourth-rank experts soared into the air simultaneously. Their auras connected, turning into a terrifying force that suppressed the heavens and earth. They charged fiercely towards the depths of the giant pit!
