Chapter 639: Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon

Dialo, a Phantasm expert, berthed the ancient starship high in the sky and glanced down at his kind on the ground, excitement appearing on his face. “I’m back, Domain of the Falling Stars.”

Because he had lost the Spirit Pearl, which was a crucial part of their ancient starship’s guidance system, he had been forced to wait in the starry river ever since he had steered the ancient starship out of the Realm of Dark Underworld.

Later, when he had received word from Basto that he would soon organize an invasion of the Domain of the Falling Stars, he had finally put his heart at ease.

Dialo was well-aware that, considering the strength of just the few of them, not only would they not be able to deal a heavy blow to the humans in the Domain of the Falling Stars, but they would also most likely lose this ancient starship to the humans.

Therefore, they had been waiting patiently. Only when they had received word from Basto that their forces had swarmed into the Realm of Split Void through those six spatial rifts did they start sailing back towards the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Today, they had finally returned.

“I sensed something very unsettling just now when we were going through the atmosphere of the Realm of Mystic Heaven,” one of the Phantasms said with furrowed eyebrows. “I didn’t know what it was, but I just knew it wasn’t something good.”

“Why is that?” Dialo asked with a composed face. “Lord Basto is right down there, and he’s coming up to us in a moment. He has the crystals that’ll allow us to restart the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon after thousands of years. You should know how powerful the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon is!”

The Phantasm felt relieved after receiving Dialo’s reassurance. “You’re right. Once the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon is activated, we’ll be able to annihilate any humans under the Void domain with it!”

The Worldly realm and Profound realm Qi warriors in the Heaven Palace Sect’s Five Elements Fortune Formation panicked as they gazed up into the sky.

“That’s one of the Phantasms’ ancient starships!”

“Dear god! I can’t believe that one of the Phantasms’ ancient starships has actually sailed through the starry river to our realm!”

“There’s no way we’re going to win this battle anymore!”

Even the ones who had believed that the humans would win the battle of the Realm of Mystic Heaven now wallowed in desperation.

Soon, pressing sounds came from their Sound Stones with messages from their sectmasters or clanmasters.

“Sectmaster orders that we need to evacuate the Realm of Mystic Heaven!”

“Clanmaster is ordering us to leave the Realm of Mystic Heaven immediately!”

“Let’s go! The Realm of Mystic Heaven is lost. The earlier we leave, the better!”

With these words, the Qi warriors, who had retreated to the Five Elements Fortune Formation since Hua Mu’s unexpected change, started streaming into the inter-realm teleportation portals in the Heaven Palace Sect.

Fortunately, the Heaven Palace Sect’s reserve power was very profound. There were multiple inter-realm teleportation portals available. One after another, people rapidly entered the portals and vanished.

Wu Ya from the Heaven Palace Sect wanted to stop them from abandoning the Realm of the Mystic Heaven, but he realized that he wouldn’t be able to do so by himself. He could only watch them run like scared dogs.

Just moments later, the Qi warriors of the Heaven Palace Sect were the only ones that remained in the Heaven Palace Sect.

Even the disciples of the Poison Sect and the Spirit God Sect, who had promised to defend the Heaven Palace Sect till the end, had teleported back to their own realms.

SHEW!

A streak of cyan light suddenly shot up into the sky and reached the berthed ancient starship in the blink of an eye.

As soon as it did, a dark cyan shield spread out, enveloping the entire ancient starship.

Millions of evil spirits could be seen squirming within the shield as vein-like patterns gradually appeared on it, as if some profound protective spell formation had formed around the ancient starship.

“That’s Basto!” Lu Minhuang cried out, his voice filled with desperation. “He’s entered that ancient starship! As a seventh grade Phantasm and the leader of this invasion, he must know how to use that ancient starship. We don’t stand a chance fighting them anymore.”

Zhao Luofeng, Ling Dong, and the other Soul realm experts also fell silent.

Even Xia Yi knitted his eyebrows as he gazed at the enormous starship floating in the sky. In a helpless voice, he muttered, “I didn’t know things would go this way. If I did...”

He finally regretted that he hadn’t joined the battle at the first possible moment.

Having entered the late Soul realm, he actually had confidence in contending against Basto one-on-one. Even if he wouldn’t be able to overtake him, he would be able to limit his actions to a large extent.

If the three potentates of the Spirit Condor had joined him in attacking Basto, the four of them might have already killed Basto.

Now that the outsiders’ ultimate weapon was here, they would be able to sweep across the Realm of Mystic Heaven and then move onto the other realms. The Flame God Sect would suffer the same fate.

Before, he had assumed that even if they lost this war, he would be able to hole up in an arcane realm with the surviving members of his sect.

But now that the ancient starship was here...

BOOM!

While the Soul realm experts pondered their next move, a wide, bright energy beam shot down from the bottom of the ancient starship.
