159: The real Zerg alien world

Chapter 159: The True Zerg Otherworld

After calming down, Wu Xian couldn't help but ask about Xue Zhengying's situation back then.

According to Xue Lingling, her second brother, Xue Zhengying, was a Genius Spirit Master. At twenty years old, he forcefully entered the Gold Tier League, mastering almost all types of scrolls. It seemed he could make any type of scroll shine, achieving Soul Resonance at an astonishing speed.

Therefore, not long after Xue Zhengying entered the Gold Tier League, he gained the favor and recruitment of many Scroll Masters, possessing five high-quality gold scrolls at a young age.

Even after he was trapped and died in the Zerg Otherworld Dimensional Rift, many Scroll Masters personally attended Xue Zhengying's funeral.

As the obituary published by the Tianfeng Province Alliance at the time stated: The Alliance lost a Genius contestant!

This also showed how outstanding Xue Zhengying was back then.

In Third Master Xue's words, if Xue Zhengying were still alive, he would undoubtedly have a place among the high-ranking officials of the current Tianfeng Province Alliance.

"Such an outstanding talent, by all accounts, should have been able to delve deep into Otherworlds without issue. Why did he die in a Dimensional Rift?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled, "What exactly happened back then?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhengheng and Third Master Xue looked dejected.

"That disaster back then came too suddenly. Numerous powerful Otherworld demonic beasts invaded, leaving no time to react. It even brought a large-scale Dimensional Leak disaster to Yaoyang City," Third Master Xue said bitterly, "At that time, Zhengying, that child, sacrificed himself to cover our retreat. He was trapped and died. I thought I would never see that child again."

Wu Xian paused slightly, suddenly remembering something, "It couldn't be the Dimensional disaster from eighteen years ago, could it?"

"Exactly."

"This..." Wu Xian's expression turned strange.

Because according to his grandfather, Wu Mingchang, he and his grandfather had drifted to the Yaoyang City Shantytown after that disaster.

As for where they lived before and where they came from, the old man had long forgotten.

Although he had now recovered his memories, the old man had not mentioned anything about the past to him.

"What, dear disciple, do you also have a connection to that disaster eighteen years ago?" Xue Lingling asked curiously, seeing Wu Xian's unusual expression.

Wu Xian nodded, "My grandfather and I fled during that disaster."

"Fled?" Third Master Xue and the Xue Family members were surprised, "As I recall, that Otherworld disaster affected many cities, even completely destroying two cities. Yaoyang City was considered relatively lightly affected."

"Two cities were destroyed?" Wu Xian couldn't help but become interested, "Which two cities?"

"Ziyun City and Hongta City."

Wu Xian took a deep breath, silently noting the names of these two cities.

Although these two cities no longer existed, he might very well have come from one of them.

Of course, the immediate priority was still the "rescue" of Xue Zhengying.

The group journeyed deep into the Zerg Otherworld, heading towards the direction of the Zerg Otherworld's great rift.

The deeper they went, the more Zerg monsters there were, inevitably encountering obstruction from numerous Zerg monsters.

However, the moment Wu Xian released Lord of the Sun Star, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Countless swarming Zerg monsters and hordes, upon sensing Lord of the Sun Star's aura, fled in panic. Some ordinary small monsters that were closer were even scared to death on the spot.

That's right, it was literally scared to death.

In just a single breath, vast Zerg hordes retreated in panic, and large numbers of Zerg small monster corpses fell like raindrops.

At this sight, all the Xue Family members present were dumbfounded.

"My goodness, this, this, this..."

"So many Zerg hordes, just scared away like that?"

"The Town-House Chicken King's high-tier scroll is indeed terrifying!"

Even Third Master Xue, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

At this moment, he realized that his expectations for Lord of the Sun Star were still too conservative.

Xue Lingling swallowed hard beside him, "Dear disciple, is your gold scroll from the same lineage as the previous Winged Fire Star Lord?"

Wu Xian neither confirmed nor denied.

At this moment, he was immersed in the surprise of Lord of the Sun Star upgrading to four and a half stars.

Although Lord of the Sun Star was already close to four and a half stars, the situation of directly upgrading the moment he appeared, without doing anything, was truly a bit outrageous.

"What materials do I need to upgrade my Winged Fire Star Lord to a gold scroll?" Third Master Xue asked excitedly.

"Didn't I already help you upgrade it to a Silver scroll?" Wu Xian asked, surprised.

"At my Realm and Rank, how could a Silver scroll be enough?" Third Master Xue said, dumbfounded, "Later, send me the materials needed for the gold scroll, and I'll figure out a way to gather them."

Wu Xian understood.

As they spoke, they had already approached the Zerg Otherworld Rift.

From afar, they saw a giant spatial rift that traversed heaven and earth, dark and deep, like an abyss.

However, in the area near the Dimensional Rift, there seemed to be a mechanical fortress-like structure. Judging from the aura emanating from the fortress, it resembled a mechanical-type gold scroll Domain Scroll.

"There's also an outpost here?" Wu Xian asked, surprised.

"Of course," Xue Zhengheng nodded, "In fact, this is where our Yaoyang City army and various factions' true main forces are located. Some high-level military experts are stationed here year-round."

Wu Xian clicked his tongue and nodded.

"Prepare for battle—!" Third Master Xue commanded, and the Xue Family members all prepared for battle.

Undead System gold scroll painting spirits appeared one after another, along with some other types of gold scrolls, of varying quality.

Those who came this time were all elites of the Xue Family, with Spirit Power Cultivation generally at Rank seven or eight, and their combat strength was definitely beyond question.

However, they still underestimated Lord of the Sun Star's deterrent power against Zerg.

Even after entering the Dimensional Rift, the nearby Zerg hordes and Zerg monsters still kept their distance, not daring to approach at all.

"Hiss~ How strong is this gold scroll's special attack power against Zerg, Little Wu?"

Xue Zhengheng looked astonished, finding it incredible.

"I've traveled north and south for most of my life, and I've never seen such a Heaven-Defying special attack type scroll," Third Master Xue couldn't help but secretly click his tongue, "The star-Rank quality ratio can reach at least six."

What does a star-Rank quality ratio of six mean?

It means that Lord of the Sun Star can handle Zerg-type monsters around Rank twenty-seven at least.

Wu Xian shook his head and smiled. He really wasn't clear about this, after all, he hadn't tested Lord of the Sun Star's limits yet.

At this moment, what he was more curious about was this true Otherworld before him.

At first glance, it was no different from the usual Zerg-infested areas, but the intensity of the rich spiritual energy was clearly not on the same level; it seemed to have qualitatively transformed into a higher-level "spiritual power."

To put it this way, absorbing this ultra-high concentration of spiritual energy for Cultivation already made one feel a tingling sensation all over, a general discomfort.

And under the nourishment of spiritual energy at this concentration, the Otherworld Zerg monsters, whether in size, Rank, or various attributes, far surpassed those so-called Dimensional monsters outside.

Even ordinary small monsters had the level of elite monsters of the same Rank outside, or even higher.

Wu Xian also felt the insignificance of his own strength at this moment.

If not for Lord of the Sun Star's natural counter-attribute against Zerg, he would absolutely not be qualified to come to such a place at present.

Moreover, as they delved deeper, the Zerg monsters' fear of Lord of the Sun Star was clearly diminishing.

Some Zerg monsters were already daring to tentatively approach.

But even so, it already filled Third Master Xue with emotion.

Previously, he alone had started to struggle to kill his way to this depth, but this time, not even a single Zerg monster dared to approach.

"Are there more people than just from our Yaoyang City here in the Otherworld?"

Wu Xian could vaguely sense the faint combat fluctuations around them.

"Of course," Third Master Xue neither confirmed nor denied, "After all, no matter which city it is, they all face the same Zerg world; it's just that the connection points to the Zerg world are different.

Strong individuals with strength can completely travel between major cities through the Zerg world."
