Chapter 533: Chapter 280 【Sunshine Split Star·Divine】 Dark Night Finally Arrives_2

Ten seconds later, a rumbling roar finally emerged from the point of the energy explosion.

It was the sound of boiling magma rapidly evaporating, as black fog surged, twisted, rose, and then continually condensed.

"Roar..."

All the A-level life forms present were floating in the air, staring blankly at the scene before them.

At the forefront, the mecha with its pale gold color turned its back to the crowd, its residual energy glow faintly casting a rainbow brilliance.

"This... This one strike is too..." Sandro couldn’t stop swallowing saliva.

Had Azure Dragon been holding back all this time?

Ulrich’s cheeks were taut, faintly pale, yet another suspicion arose in his heart. Had he guessed wrong?

Was there really someone in the castle basement who could severely injure Azure Dragon?

Otherwise, with Azure Dragon’s strength, there was absolutely no need to bullshit with them; with that one strike, Theo would have turned to ashes.

Benny, held in Jesaya’s arms, was shivering, his expression panic-stricken and restless.

He had actually dared to scheme against him?

He was doomed, certainly doomed!

Theo’s mind was in turmoil; he had never felt such fear as he did at this moment.

No... there had been one time. He remembered when his clan was annihilated, the feeling of helplessness in the face of the vast fleets, and the resistance he could not muster.

In the vacuum of space, in the silent stillness, the column of light below gradually dissipated.

Even though most of the force had been borne by the Dimension Gap, the stray shockwaves completely caused the battered celestial body to disintegrate.

Huge chasms divided it into several chunks of wreckage, like butchered jerky, spreading out in all directions under the influence of gravity.

The remaining members of the Torch Group trembled on one of the fragments.

On a piece of wreckage, the searing magma was still boiling, and in the center, a black rift was gradually healing, with violent spatial fluctuations all around.

It expanded further, causing a violent reaction in the real universe, forcibly repairing it.

In the magma below, a mutilated corpse floated, the left leg completely gone, and only half of the right leg remaining, the break charred.

Both hands were missing without a trace, and a large chunk of the head was gone, leaving only a single dark eye. Nearby the body, two dark crystals lay scattered, with wave-like ripples emanating from them like black fog.

All of a sudden, the corpse’s lone eye twitched, and amidst the relentless pain prodding his nerves, Connet seemed to recall that column of light from moments before.

"How... How is this possible!" He couldn’t believe it, shocked and angry, with a despairing reluctance.

He had entrusted the Heart of the Death God to Kewis and Fernand to avoid accidents before Dark Night arrived.

The Heart of the Death God was precious; it could not only transform Death God’s personal guard, but more impressively, allow the transformed to maintain their own thoughts.

If a sufficient price were paid, one could redeem their control from the being known as Death, the Dimension Life Form.

However, what he had not anticipated was Azure Dragon discovering their plan and taking action against them first.

Even more unpredictable was the sheer might of Azure Dragon’s methods, instantly obliterating the Shadow of Death God transformed from Kewis.

Forcing him to activate a backup plan, by merging three Hearts of the Death God in a special way, forcibly opening a Dimension Gap to the Realm of Death, he hoped to use the power of this mighty Dimension Life Form to confront the two.

This was an irreversible process, to the point where he wasn’t even sure if he could return to being a normal life form afterwards, or if he would merge into the Realm of Death, becoming a Dimension Life Form.

But the plan changed with the circumstances, and under pressure, he had no choice but to do so.

Equivalent to sacrificing three-dimensional A-level life forms, the resulting power is naturally formidable, which he considered his ultimate trump card, equal to Dark Night.

Yet before it could fully unfold, it was wiped out by Azure Dragon with a single strike.

Why, why are this man’s methods inexhaustible!?

A storm of rage surged in his heart; at this juncture, there was nothing left to fear, only bitterness and indignation.

The plan, it was so close!

The ground trembled slightly as the pale gold mecha landed. Li Ming didn’t approach Connet, who still had a hint of life energy, immediately.

Instead, he picked up the two black crystals from the ground.

"So that’s how it is..." Li Ming clenched his fist, whispering, "Dimension Crystals, they carry the power of the Dimensional main body life form, and Divine Power should be a part of that main body life form."

When he picked up these two black crystals, he already knew that Divine Power could be extracted from them.

Expending one portion to gain two, quite a good deal.

Li Ming was thinking and said pensively, "So you mean to say, that blast just now, has caused damage to the central life form in the Dimension Realm?"

"You..." Connet let out a hoarse voice, with a burn mark on his throat that had completely torn through his vocal cords. Every time he tried to make a sound, he was subjected to inhuman torment.

Desolate and desperate: "We won..."

Li Ming had no intention of gloating, he looked down at Connet: "Do you want to live?"

"Can I even live?" Connet scoffed.

"As long as you want..." Li Ming shook his head, "Tell me the exact coordinates of the Core Relics, and I will spare your life."

Although he had also planted seeds on Feder’s end, one cannot put all their eggs in one basket.

"Heh..." Connet didn’t seem convinced and didn’t answer, speaking hoarsely: "Do you think I would stoop to cling onto life?"

"You wouldn’t, but what about the Torch Organization?" Li Ming said solemnly, "If you don’t tell me, I will annihilate the Torch Organization..."

"Don’t worry, I have ways to find your main base and uproot it entirely."

"You!" Connet’s blood burst from his mutilated body as Theo’s expression flickered, "Stop wasting time, leaving him alive is nothing but trouble. Surely he isn’t the only person who knows the coordinates."

With that, Theo suddenly appeared next to Connet.

Li Ming frowned, about to intervene when his vision blurred and saw Theo knocked flying out without a sound, crashing into the hill behind and leaving a deep pit.

Huh!?

Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat, not knowing when beside Connet’s mutilated body.

A burly man had appeared, with a buzz-cut, dressed in a black leather jacket, carrying a slim black metallic case on his back.

When did he get here!

Everyone’s face changed drastically, no one had noticed the newcomer’s arrival.

This incomplete celestial body still managed to pull some air, which was circulating around; Theo reappeared next to Li Ming, looking extremely upset.

That strike earlier was almost too quick for him to react, if it hadn’t been for the lack of killing intent from the other party, he probably would have been a corpse by now.

An unprecedentedly powerful life form, a Level S Life Form!

Connet on the ground suddenly jerked, his mouth twisted open in a harsh "ha," before starting to cough due to the surrounding dust, blood spurting from his wounds.

"Who did that shot just now?" the stranger asked, scanning the crowd.

"Me." Li Ming was highly alert inside, already having a vague guess about the stranger’s identity.

He clenched the Divine Attribute Crystal in his hand, extracting its power.

Two portions of Divine Power, if there was enough time, there might be a chance to escape with his life.

"Are you Azure Dragon?" the stranger asked, everyone had different thoughts.

It seemed this guy was quite concerned about Azure Dragon?

"Dark Night, your excellency," Connet finally managed to croak out, "He is the Azure Dragon!"

So it’s him, Li Ming thought, feeling a sudden sinking feeling, he took a deep breath.

Connet had actually gotten in touch with him, how could someone at this level be in contact with a regional Resistance Organization?

This was the assassin who attempted to murder Duke Guya, a bona fide Level S Life Form, and whose development progress must be significant.

An enemy who is currently beyond his ability to combat.

It seemed as if this person had been looking for him since the moment he joined the Torch Organization.

Li Ming couldn’t fathom why such a person would take notice of him.

"Dark Night!"

Theo’s pupils shrank as he exclaimed in shock, "The assassin who attempted to murder Duke Guya?"

The others were initially puzzled when they first heard the name, but as Theo lost his composure, everyone was stunned.

Ulrich’s pupils contracted, the assassin who attempted to murder Duke Guya!?

Why would he be here!

His entire body went numb, and for a moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Only Jesse’s subordinate Benny, underfoot, had a hopeful gleam in his eyes.
