It had been less than a month since Ming Qi left Qiankun Mountain for the Divine Realm, but he hadn't expected the entire Xilan Province to undergo such drastic changes.
When he left for the Divine Realm, Xilan Province was peaceful, but now, upon his return, it was engulfed in war!
Hundreds of miles away, Ming Qi could see a massive teleportation array, as black as ink, constantly flickering on a distant mountain peak that seemed to connect with the heavens. A thick black aura enveloped an area of dozens of miles.
A sudden thought struck Ming Qi, who immediately used his magical power to extend his vision. The distant teleportation array suddenly became clear, and he could see a steady stream of ferocious alien warriors emerging from it, either soaring into the air or actuating magical flying devices as they descended the mountain.
The endless alien army, like a swarm of locusts, swarmed over the land of Xilan Province.
Amidst the vast army, Ming Qi could clearly see the fluttering banners of the Dawn of Freedom, their golden background and silver torches guarding a blood-red sun. Beneath each banner stood a prominent alien general.
"It seems the Tianzui Camp is serious this time."
Seeing this, Ming Qi knew that the long-dormant Tianzui Camp had finally launched its challenge to divine authority. However, he was puzzled as to why the Tianzui Camp had chosen the Tianhuang World as a springboard to challenge the gods of heaven and earth.
Recalling Bai Bing's earlier mention of the so-called Divine Realm Sky Repair Plan, the Tianhuang World was already in jeopardy, and now it had become the springboard for the Tianzui Camp to challenge the gods of heaven and earth. One could imagine how dire the consequences would be for Tianhuang.
Either it would be unable to escape its fate and ultimately be annihilated in the vast river of stars, or it would be reduced to ashes and death under the mutual trampling of the Tianzui Camp and the army of gods.
It seemed as if the two outcomes were indistinguishable. The ultimate fate for all living beings in the Tianhuang World was the same: death.
Ming Qi retracted his gaze and scattered his attention around him. A moment later, his expression darkened. Six such teleportation arrays! This meant six massive arrays were continuously transporting troops to the Tianhuang World!
Before he knew it, the entire Tianhuang World was in dire straits!
Ming Qi was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a powerful aura sweeping toward him. Then, he saw a purple figure swiftly approaching from the direction of the teleportation array he had previously gazed at.
"Huh?"
Ming Qi stared intently, fearlessly, as the figure's presence immediately became clear.
Encircled by a ball of purple flames, a figure flew toward him. Simultaneously, a thin, hair-like purple light pierced at near-maximum speed. Ming Qi even suspected that if the purple light had moved any faster, it would have completely ripped the space ahead of him apart.
However, the opponent clearly controlled his movements well, pushing his speed to the limit without disrupting the space, thus preventing any unforeseen consequences.
Ming Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, locked onto the incoming person, yet he paid no attention to the incoming purple light. With a gentle flick of the large Five Elements fan in his hand, he unleashed his Five Elements Escape Technique, barely moving a hundred meters to the left.
A hundred meters is a negligible distance for a duel between such powerful beings, but in this situation, it was just enough for Ming Qi.
Using the Five Elements Escape Technique, he moved a hundred meters, dodging the oncoming purple light.
"I never thought I'd see such a sophisticated escape technique in this land. It's truly fascinating..."
As Ming Qi used his escape technique to avoid the purple light, a captivating, piercing woman's voice echoed from the distant purple light. Before she finished speaking, the purple light had already flown to within a thousand meters of Ming Qi, then hovered in the air.
Then, Ming Qi watched the purple light gradually fade, revealing the figure hidden within.
It was a remarkably beautiful woman, her long purple hair dancing in the wind, giving off a sense of unbridled beauty. Her slender waist and curvaceous figure were flawless, her large eyes expressive, and her features exceptionally delicate. Even Ming Qi felt, for a moment, that this woman's beauty was among the most extraordinary in the world. However, as Ming Qi looked at her, she seemed to subconsciously open her mouth, revealing a pair of sharp, snow-white canine teeth. Her scarlet tongue swirled with delight around her plump lips.
"Vampire?"
Seeing those seemingly endearing canine teeth, Ming Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise. Vampires, it was rumored that vampires weren't native to the Tianhuang World, but came from another world. But whether or not they were native, that couldn't conceal their stunning appearance or longevity. Of course, no one could overlook their powerful racial talents and thirst for blood.
The vampires' thirst for blood surpasses almost everything else. Faced with blood, they can unleash extraordinary fighting power, even surpassing double their normal strength!
"Oh, little darling, you're so insightful! You even know my bloodline! That's truly remarkable! Come here, let me kiss you!"
The vampire woman smiled charmingly and slowly advanced, but she showed no sign of letting her guard down. Vast swathes of purple light danced across the sky, like swift swords darting back and forth.
Ming Qi frowned, but he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he took a few steps back, carefully choosing his retreat path, while vigilantly observing the woman's every move.
This vampire woman was already firmly at the Martial Emperor level. If she were to face a Martial Emperor without racial innate talent, Ming Qi was confident he could still fight her. However, the vampires' perverse thirst for blood proved a real challenge.
Moreover, Ming Qi had just entered the Martial Emperor realm and hadn't yet fully stabilized. If he unleashed his full Emperor-level power, it would very likely damage his foundation and, in serious cases, even lead to a fall in realm. Therefore, he couldn't take that risk right now.
The vampire woman stepped forward a short distance, then suddenly wrinkled her nose and sniffed. A smile spread across her face as she exclaimed, "It's indeed fresh and tender. Come on, little darling! I can't wait any longer!"
Ming Qi broke out in a cold sweat, as if the other party was treating him like a delicious meal.
Closing the Great Five Elements Fan once again, Ming Qi was ready to use the Five Elements Escape Technique to escape at any moment. The situation didn't allow for a fight, so a quick escape was the best strategy.
At that moment, a gentle-looking young vampire in blood-red armor came galloping over from the distance. He approached the vampire woman, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Jade Master Purple Star. The General asked me to inquire about the progress of planning for the First Base, which Your Excellency is responsible for. The General said he will arrive in two days at the latest, and then he will..."
"Shut up!"
The vampire woman immediately became annoyed and shouted him down, saying calmly, "Please tell the General that I will complete the First Base and that he can come right away!"
"Yes, then I will reply to Your Excellency, Your Excellency, as you wish."
