255: anger!

Canglan Star, Netherworld.

This was a serene valley perennially shrouded in mist. A silver-white, saucer-shaped spaceship hovered above the valley, constantly vigilant for any movement in the surroundings.

At this very moment, all the Star Destroying Cannons on this spaceship were extended, aiming in all directions.

If any fierce beast dared to provoke this place, it would instantly be reduced to a bloody mist.

Chen Fan had two D5-class spaceships. One was on alert here.

The other, under the control of Xue Zhan and Jia Yi, was quietly heading to several other locations to gather the remaining small teams.

At the core of the valley, a group of martial artists also stood ready with Laser Cannons.

Chen Fan and his group had been here for two days.

Their only purpose was to ensure the six martial artists who first tried the low-grade life fruit successfully broke through.

Beneath the dense trunk of the ancient life tree, six figures sat cross-legged, perfectly still.

But Chen Fan knew very well that they had entered the most critical period of their breakthrough.

Finally, on the third day, the power of the entire valley was frantically devoured, forming six terrifying energy whirlpools that poured into their bodies.

At the same time, the nine miniature stars within the bodies of the six slave martial artists rapidly expanded, growing stronger… The continuous cosmic energy was swept clean, becoming the energy supporting their breakthrough.

Fortunately, the cosmic energy in the World Lord World was much denser than in the outside world.

And this valley, due to the presence of the ancient life tree, had gathered an incredibly rich cosmic energy.

Therefore, the six people’s breakthrough was very smooth.

In less than an hour, these six martial artists, who were once severely injured and on the verge of death, all broke through from Astral Rank Nine to Universe Rank.

Among them, two even became Universe Rank Psycher Masters, their strength skyrocketing.

This was also the mystery of the low-grade life fruit: as long as an Astral Rank martial artist consumed it, whether they were Astral Rank One or Nine, they could successfully break through to a Cosmic-level martial artist.

This was the secret Enchantress Liu Qiyue had told Chen Fan.

“Thank you, Master, for saving my life and granting me a new beginning!”

At this moment, Stanas, who had become a Universe Rank Psycher Master, knelt on one knee, looking respectfully at Chen Fan.

Now, he was truly devoted to Chen Fan.

Not only him, but the other five servants who had just broken through to Universe Rank also knelt on one knee, thanking Chen Fan: “Thank you, Master, for saving our lives and granting us a new beginning!”

“No need to be so polite. Since you have all broken through to Universe Rank, when your contributions are sufficient, I will still grant you your freedom. I keep my word on this!”

Chen Fan’s gaze swept over the six Cosmic-level martial artists before him, whose aura was clearly dozens of times stronger than before, and he felt a surge of excitement.

This result was exactly as the Enchantress had said.

One life fruit created one Cosmic-level martial artist.

At the same time, Chen Fan noticed the excited expressions on the faces of the other slave martial artists, revealing a smile, and said calmly:

“Don’t worry, there are still many fruits on this life tree. You can come in batches!”

Immediately after, Chen Fan picked fifteen pink life fruits from the life tree and distributed them to fifteen of the slave martial artists.

Thus, another three days of waiting passed.

Just as the fifteen slave martial artists emerged from their breakthroughs on the third day,

the silver spaceship piloted by Xue Zhan and Jia Yi also successfully returned to this valley.

Whoosh—

The hatch opened, and Wang Teng, Han Li, Fang Yuan, and other martial artists leaped down from mid-air, landing steadily.

They had all been safely brought back by Xue Zhan.

Seeing that these Earth martial artists were all safe and sound, Chen Fan felt greatly relieved.

However, there were a few slave martial artists missing from the team, but Chen Fan didn’t care much.

Losing a few Astral Rank Nine slave martial artists was not a significant loss for Chen Fan.

“Fan-ge, long time no see!”

As soon as he got off the spaceship, Wang Teng gave Chen Fan a bear hug.

“Wang Teng, it’s been a month, and you seem to have gotten stronger!”

Chen Fan carefully scrutinized Wang Teng from head to toe, saying with a smile: “You must have had a pretty good time these past few days!”

As he spoke, Chen Fan’s gaze swept over Han Li, Fang Yuan, and Mo Handerson.

He saw that apart from being dusty, they had no other injuries.

Finally, his gaze stopped on Fu Qingxi, who was in a sorry state, with even his third-tier Origin Power battle suit severely damaged, and he asked: “Were you wronged?”

“Fan-ge, after we killed a group of Universe Rank demonic lizards and were about to collect materials, we were ambushed by several martial artists who called themselves the ‘Third Prince’s Royal Guards’.

At that time, our Laser Cannon’s energy was insufficient. To cover our successful retreat, four slave martial artists, in two groups, attracted their attention.

In the end, they all died tragically. If it weren’t for Brother Xue Zhan arriving in the spaceship in time, even Brother Huang and I would have died here, and…”

As he spoke, Fu Qingxi’s eyes reddened slightly.

He thought of the four slave martial artists who had fought alongside him, only to die tragically under the enemy’s butcher knives.

Chen Fan gently hugged Fu Qingxi, patting his shoulder lightly.

On the second pat, Chen Fan’s expression changed abruptly: “Qingxi, your arm?”

“During the escape, I accidentally had it severed by a flying dagger from one of the Psycher Masters.”

Fu Qingxi said lightly, his eyes red.

“Third Prince! Very good!!”

“Truly very good!!”

Chen Fan said in a deep voice, anger churning and rising in his eyes… Then, Chen Fan looked at the ancient life tree not far away.

An invisible Spiritual power emanated, coiling around the largest pink fruit at the top like a large hand.

“Qingxi, eat this, and you’ll recover.” Chen Fan controlled his anger, speaking softly.

“Mm.” Fu Qingxi took the pink fruit with his single arm and chewed it in large mouthfuls.

Watching Fu Qingxi devour it, Chen Fan couldn’t help but recall Fu Fengxue, whom he had met at the edge of the 492nd training ground.

That day was like today, shrouded in mist.

It was also that day that Chen Fan accepted Fu Fengxue’s suggestion to venture into the Wilderness Area to grow, which led to everything that followed.

A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring!

Thinking this, Chen Fan’s eyes grew even deeper.

Gulp!!

After Fu Qingxi swallowed the last bite of the life fruit, Chen Fan looked up, his eyes, deep as black crystal, swept over everyone present, and he said word by word:

“From now on, anyone who encounters the Third Prince’s Royal Guards, kill them all. Leave no survivors!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison.

Although it was just a single sentence, they could already feel Chen Fan’s rising anger from it.

After speaking, Chen Fan retrieved the energy crystal for the Laser Cannon from the moon of destiny’s space.

This time, he replenished everyone with enough energy for five hundred continuous shots.

Chen Fan still had an almost infinite supply of energy for both Laser Cannons and Star Destroying Cannons.

So this time, facing the Third Prince’s attack, Chen Fan would inevitably launch a counterattack.

At the same time, his counterattack would carry the momentum of a thunderbolt, covering them like a mountain pressing down, without the slightest mercy.

However, before that, Chen Fan needed to maximize his own strength!

Those who kill will be killed!

This eternal truth was equally applicable to Chen Fan.

“Next, everyone gets a life fruit, and all of you break through to Universe Rank!”

“Stanas, you four will protect them during their breakthrough with me!!!”

Chen Fan’s words were full of unquestionable authority, and he received excited and affirmative replies—

“Yes!!”
