Chapter 1854: The Spirit is Gone
The black shuttle's attack method is slightly inferior to the violent energy fluctuations, but its lethality is extremely amazing.
On the star land that was broken into several large pieces, most of the Asuras died instantly, and only a handful of them remained.
Even the nests guarding the perimeter of the Star Continent are only one in a hundred left.
Only the nests that were farther away and larger managed to escape.
This kind of attack is very similar to the trump card of the legendary ancestor of the Giant Force Tribe.
However, the latter used a red shuttle, which can be confirmed to be a method used by immortal cultivators, but there is indeed a difference.
The good thing is that the ancestors on the Star Valley Star Continent are no longer in seclusion, but have moved to the mother nest in the sky.
The mother nest was also destroyed, but the ancestor managed to escape with his life.
It dragged its severely injured body and wanted to chase the sneak attacker, but unexpectedly it was attacked by the Space Fire Bow again.
Fortunately, the old ancestor was not blinded by anger. He felt a warning in his heart in time and fled for his life.
But even so, its injuries were still worse.
Fortunately, although its body was broken, it was not so miserable that only a wisp of soul remained.
But its injuries...will take at least a hundred years of recuperation before it can recover.
In the following few days, five more star continents burst into flames one after another, all of which were star continents directly owned by the royal family.
Eight of the sixteen star continents under the royal family's jurisdiction were directly destroyed. For a time, the entire Asura world was in turmoil.
The Asura royal family was not only shocked and angry, but they also directly felt the strong malice coming from the immortal cultivators.
This was clearly intended to stir up internal strife among the Asuras and thereby shake the foundation of the royal family's rule.
The royal family originally had ten ancestors who had achieved the state of out-of-body experience, but now three are dead and one is seriously injured, leaving only six ancestors left.
In theory, the royal family has subordinate tribes and friendly tribes, but there is no doubt that their own ancestors are the most trustworthy.
The key point is that a large number of middle and low-level Asuras in the royal family died, and nearly half of the tribe’s rising stars were strangled.
The number of people lost in these eight star continents is enough to make it take the Asura royal family two to three hundred years to recover!
Fortunately, the star land where the royal court was located was heavily guarded and was not destroyed, otherwise the royal rule would have fallen apart directly.
The other seven star continents were not destroyed. Besides the stronger security, there was another reason, that is... there were more spiritual veins.
There are relatively fewer spirit veins and spirit stone mines on the eight destroyed star continents.
From this we can see that the immortal cultivators not only targeted the royal family, they also had their eyes on the spiritual veins.
The other party’s choice was almost as good as saying it clearly - they have already regarded Ashura’s spiritual vein as theirs!
This feeling of being coveted by others is really terrible.
However, the royal family could only grit their teeth and stamp their feet; they couldn't even fight back.
Not being able to find an opponent is one thing, but the key is that they have to consider whether there will be fire storms and sudden disasters on other planets.
At once, all the royal Asuras retreated.
On the remaining eight star continents, all Asuras worked day and night, digging deep into the ground looking for potential threats.
As things have developed to this point, many of the Asura ancestors have basically made some judgments.
First of all, the volume of the fire monster will not be very large; secondly, it should be related to the material of space stone.
After all, he is a great master at the out-of-body level. If he can't even calculate this, how dare Asura go on expeditions?
Then there is an authoritative explanation for the attack on the space fluctuation point - the other party needs this material to destroy the star continent.
At this moment, many Asuras also expressed similar sighs in their hearts as the humans in the Federation.
You said you were invading, that's all, just to fight for living space and daily necessities, but why did you want to destroy this world?
For the royal family, a full retreat is still not enough, because the remaining eight star continents are too huge.
Except for the star land where the royal court is located, the defense capabilities of other star lands are still a little weak.
As a result, the royal family began to withdraw their fighting forces from the human world, and all the ancestors guarding the front were recalled.
The plan to conquer the human world must also be adjusted.
The Asuras had already accumulated enough troops and launched a counterattack half a year ago.
Their counterattack was steady and cautious, without any reckless advances.
After all, the Asura world behind them is not very stable, and they have to ensure connection during the attack and cannot be disconnected from each other.
Over the past six months, they have fought very steadily and the opposing federation has also suffered heavy losses.
But it’s no longer possible now. The ancestor of the royal family must retreat. Compared to invading other worlds, protecting the old nest is more important.
In addition, the royal family also recruited reinforcements from other tribes to assist in defending the seven star continents outside the royal court.
Even the star land where the royal court is located has more than a dozen mother nests of subordinate tribes.
Because of their "loyal" nature, the mother nests of these subordinate tribes cannot land on the star continent and can only patrol the surrounding areas.
Such a response actually highlights the weakness of the royal family - their own defense capabilities are not enough.
However, the royal family has accumulated power for tens of thousands of years, and due to inertia of thinking, few tribes dare to openly disobey orders.
Some tribes would only send a small number of troops to assist in the defense, citing their own safety as an excuse.
The royal family had zero tolerance for this and directly formed a coalition to strangle the disobedient tribes.
In this regard, Asuras are indeed more violent than humans. They will not think twice and consider the consequences of suppressing their own kind.
At the same time, they lifted restrictions on invading the human world, and all tribes could participate.
There is nothing wrong with these decisions.
They impose high-pressure suppression internally, divert trouble elsewhere, and continue to launch external wars in an attempt to divert conflicts within the ethnic group.
Unfortunately, however, this combination of punches did not produce very good effect.
Many tribes whose own strength was not seriously damaged chose to wait and see.
This is a very rare thing for Asura, who is naturally bloodthirsty and aggressive.
However, the tragic scene of the royal family is already there, and even the most warlike guy will consider the consequences of having his lair destroyed.
However, there were also small tribes that mobilized their entire population to join the invasion, even bringing along the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Most of these tribes are not doing well in their lives. They would rather give up the place where they have lived for generations than not try to get a big chance.
There aren’t many such tribes, but there are definitely quite a few. It’s just that their fighting power… is hard to describe in a few words.
Some tribes have one or two mother nests, while others don't even have a mother nest.
If there are really enough mother nests, why take such a risk?
Just as these tribes were heading towards the entrance of the passage, news came that a mother nest was destroyed by a black shuttle on the way.
This tribe spread out their formation on the way to the battle, and one of their nests managed to escape by chance, which led to the spread of this news.
As to whether there are other mother nests affected, it is hard to say for the time being.
When this news spread, the Asuras became even more frightened, and some tribes even stopped their actions to join the war.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that a small group of people like Qu Jianlei could cause such huge changes in the Ashura tribe.
However, this is how things are in the world. If they attack with greater numbers, the Asuras will definitely unite as one.
When faced with the survival of their race, the Asuras will never hesitate to fight!
The problem now is that all Asuras know that this group of immortal cultivators is very small in number and does not have the strength to conquer the entire world.
Since this is the case, they will naturally give priority to preserving their strength and wait for this wave of storm to pass.
It's a bit like "When I encounter a wild beast, I just need to run faster than my companions."
There are even rumors that the immortal cultivators' space stone reserves are running low, and they do not have the strength to continue destroying the star continent.
This may be true, but every member of the Asura tribe does not want to be one of the few unlucky ones left.
Qu Jianlei and his team did annihilate two mother nests, once using the Flawed Walker and once using the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle.
After the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle turned black, it has been used three times.
Qu Jianlei was also concerned about the durability of the shuttle, but he kept it hidden and unused. He was also afraid of the demonic aura mixed in it.
So it should be used moderately, but not too harshly. After all, it is one of the few trump cards the team has.
In short, it is a very confusing situation, but we still have to face it.
The team did not rush back, but returned to the vicinity of Ruby Star Land and inquired about Asura's movements through the Giant Force Tribe.
If Asura's reaction is different from what they expected, then they will have to make targeted responses.
Fortunately, the royal family retreated across the board due to the severe loss of strength, and the Asura who was monitoring the Giant Force Tribe also evacuated.
At least it is not as inconvenient for them to communicate with the Juli Tribe as before.
As a result, news about the changes in the Asura world was continuously sent to the team.
The good news is that Asura's reaction was exactly what they wanted, and the degree of his disloyalty was even stronger than they expected.
Everyone stayed near Hongyu for another half a year before setting out for the passage entrance.
There were a few secondary nesters hanging around at the entrance of the passage, looking quite lazy.
Thinking back to when I came here four years ago, the Asuras were training hard for battle, and then looking at the situation now, it is completely different.
Even the spirit of the weapon couldn't help but mutter, "This is... the spirit is gone."
Qu Jianlei almost wanted to turn back and leave by teleportation to reduce the risk and time of passing through the passage.
However, he thought about it again and felt that it would be better to keep some tricks as much as possible.
The probability of teleportation being discovered is very low, but now the Asuras are in a state of panic, and it would be bad if any clues were discovered.
It took a total of nine days to pass through the passage this time, during which time we also changed to a division-level ship, so there is no need to say much.
However, the defense on the human side of the passage was still quite good. It was a little worse than four years ago, but not much worse.
Qu Jianlei had no intention of alarming these guys, but he was somewhat puzzled: Why was the defense on this side so strict?
The team was killing everyone in the Asura world. They should know that their main force was not on the human side, right?
Considering that Asura has already guessed his identity, Qu Jianlei plans to go back in a low profile.
Ten days later, the main force of the team quietly returned to the Dawn Base.
After being teleported back, Qu Jianlei finally understood why the Asuras were guarding this side so closely.
A year ago, a thunderstorm struck the base again, and it was Kefu who survived it.
