84: Ancestor of the Xiong Family

A visible shockwave, like a ripple of destruction, instantly spread out!

Wherever it passed, it swept away everything in its path!

The small courtyard completely vanished!

The secluded building, symbolizing the Xiong Family's deepest foundation, was struck hard by an invisible giant hand, shattering and collapsing from its very foundation, turning into a sky full of smoke, dust, and rubble!

The shockwave continued relentlessly, sweeping towards Xiong Manor surrounding the building!

The magnificent complexes that were barely holding on, teetering under the siege of Gold-level aliens, were fragile and vulnerable in the face of this pseudo-Transcendent-level destructive power!

Pavilions and towers were toppled like building blocks, and high walls and grand courtyards were flattened like sandcastles!

The raging flames were instantly blown away and then reignited, accompanied by more desperate screams and the roar of collapsing buildings!

"Ah! The Old Ancestor's side!"

"No! What kind of power is that?!"

The surviving Gold-level experts of the Xiong Family watched, their eyes splitting with rage and terror, as the destructive shockwave swept over them.

Already in peril from the attacks of the Gold-level aliens, the Xiong Family members now lost their composure, and in an instant, several more were caught off guard and tragically died under the aliens' sharp claws and fangs!

The terrifying energy collision not only destroyed half of Xiong Manor but also dispersed the thick black mist that the Alien Queen had used to shroud the entire Xiong Manor... The "night curtain" covering Xiong Manor was forcibly torn open!

Weiyang City, late at night.

Countless ordinary citizens were awakened in their sleep by the dull rumbling and vibrations from underground; they looked out their windows in terror but saw only pitch black.

However, for those with keen senses, especially those who were Silver-level and above, this night was destined to be sleepless!

Just as the black mist shrouding Xiong Manor was dispersed... *Buzz*!!!

An indescribable tremor, as if from the depths of the soul, like an invisible alarm bell, exploded in the minds of all Silver-level and above professionals!

It was an instinctive fear and a strong warning stemming from the difference in life levels!

*Whoosh!*

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Within Weiyang City, in every corner, countless pairs of eyes suddenly opened in the darkness!

City Defense Force Headquarters, highest command room.

A middle-aged general, dressed in a crisp military uniform and exuding an aura as deep as an abyss, suddenly looked up from the map, his sharp, hawk-like gaze instantly piercing through the window, locking onto the Xiong Family's direction, his face changing drastically.

"Pseudo-Transcendent? Two of them?! Xiong Family... what happened?!"

In a top-floor suite of a luxurious hotel, a red-haired old man, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, his body enveloped in a faint fiery aura, suddenly stood up, rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the area of Xiong Manor that had suddenly become clear but was now ablaze, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

"A collision of pseudo-Transcendent-level power... Who is the Xiong Family's old ghost fighting? This aura..."

"So unfamiliar! So strong!"

In a secret stronghold, several black-clad figures with chilling auras, who were discussing important matters, simultaneously stiffened; the pupils under the mask of the leader suddenly contracted.

"The plan has changed! The Xiong Family... has gotten into big trouble! Quick, report immediately!"

In a inconspicuous blacksmith shop in the civilian district.

A muscular strong man, who was hammering a piece of red-hot metal, suddenly paused, his calloused hands gripping the hammer handle tightly, as he looked towards Xiong Manor, a hint of sharp intelligence and deep apprehension, unbefitting his appearance, appearing on his honest face.

"Pseudo-Transcendent..."

"And two of them... Weiyang City is about to change."

At this moment, all Silver-level and above professionals in Weiyang City, no matter where they were or what they were doing, were shaken by the two undisguised, fiercely colliding pseudo-Transcendent auras!

Fear, doubt, greed, calculation... all sorts of emotions surged in countless hearts.

The Xiong Family mansion, this once awe-inspiring colossus, now seemed to have become the center of a storm, attracting the gaze of all the city's powerful individuals!

Within Xiong Manor, the center of destruction.

Xiong Ba's grey Tang suit billowed, as greyish-white light clashed with the Alien Queen's dark purple force field, each collision causing small-scale spatial tremors, and the ground constantly sank and cracked!

He was filled with shock and rage; the Alien Queen's power far exceeded his expectations, and that pure, terrifying oppressive feeling was like a maggot in his bones, forcing him to respond with all his might, leaving him no time for anything else!

Xiong Ba was furious!

The Xiong Family's three-hundred-year foundation was turning into ruins before his eyes!

His clansmen were being slaughtered!

And the instigator of all this was that seemingly ordinary young man!

Lin Feng retreated rapidly under the protection of Crack and Abyssal Venom; even with Crack and Abyssal Venom by his side, the pseudo-Transcendent-level energy collision still made his blood churn.

Crack and Abyssal Venom were even worse off; even though they were Gold-level peak, they could not cross the chasm and possess the ability to resist Transcendent power!

They had already transformed into their true forms, and large sections of their black chitinous carapaces were already shattered, with copious amounts of corrosive dark green blood dripping onto the ground... Fortunately, Xiong Ba's full attention was on the Alien Queen; otherwise, in the previous energy collision, Crack and Abyssal Venom would have had to sacrifice their lives for Lin Feng!

The Alien Queen was unusually enraged at this moment; the previous energy collision had actually caused Lin Feng to be 'injured'!

This was unacceptable!

With a flicker of the Alien Queen's figure, in the next second, she appeared like a ghost behind Xiong Ba's side, a silent yet space-cutting transparent blade, carrying extreme coldness, slashing towards Xiong Ba's neck!

The speed was too fast for visual capture!

"Roar!!! We are both pseudo-Transcendent! How great can the difference between us be?!"

Xiong Ba was like a madman!

Facing the Alien Queen's deadly strike, which surpassed visual limits and could cut space, the greyish-white energy within him completely erupted!

It was not pure battle qi or magic, but a strange energy carrying a sense of decay and decline, yet containing destructive power, a power he had gained months ago when he touched the threshold of the Transcendent realm.

"Power of Ash!"

Xiong Ba did not dodge; his shriveled right fist was instantly enveloped by a layer of extremely condensed greyish-white energy; the energy was not fire, but it carried the scorching heat and deathly stillness that could incinerate all things!

Wherever his fist passed, space emitted a groaning sound of unbearable strain, leaving a charred trail.

His right fist, with an utterly domineering momentum, brazenly met the transparent spatial blade!

*Boom*!!

Fist and blade collided.

Destructive energy and spatial power fiercely intertwined and annihilated each other!

A pillar of mixed grey and purple light shot straight into the sky!

At the core of the collision, fine, web-like black cracks tore through the sky!

This strike from the two of them almost tore space apart here!

Beneath them, the ground, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, instantly sank several meters, forming a massive crater over a hundred meters in diameter!

Centered on the crater, a visible shockwave, composed of greyish-white destructive energy and purple spatial power intertwined, spread rapidly!

This shockwave was ten times more terrifying than any previous collision!

Wherever it passed, even space groaned under the strain, presenting a twisted, blurred, and bizarre sight.

The still-burning ruins, the struggling Xiong Family guards, the ferocious attacking aliens... in the face of this power, they were like ice and snow under the scorching sun, not even having time to scream before they were completely vaporized, turning into nothingness!

"Evacuate Xiong Manor!"

"Guard the perimeter and don't let any Xiong Family member escape!"

Under the protection of Crack and Abyssal Venom, Lin Feng retreated from Xiong Manor at extreme speed.

In a pseudo-Transcendent-level battle, Gold-level individuals didn't even have the qualification to watch up close!

Moreover, his presence there would distract the Alien Queen, making her worry about his safety; only when he retreated to a safe area could the Alien Queen fight without restraint!

As for the remaining living Xiong Family members.

As long as the Alien Queen eliminated the Xiong Family's Old Ancestor, not a single one of the remaining people would escape...
