Chapter 796: Mobile Fortress

The other Enlighters all acted simultaneously, as the Neohuman Alliance was the number one public enemy of all of humanity. All cultivators would instinctively move to kill members of the Neohuman Alliance as soon as they appeared.

Yuehua Mavis suddenly appeared beside the Corpse King, and she swatted out with a palm. An emerald green radiance illuminated the face of the Corpse King, who raised its arm to block the attack in turn. Yuehua Mavis’s palm attack seemed casual, but it forced the Corpse King back 1,000 meters, and one of his arms was very visibly distorted after the fact. This palm strike had been extremely powerful, and it caused a chill to run down Lu Yin’s spine. Its rune lines just now had surpassed what Lu Yin had seen on all the Enlighters whose power levels were above 200,000.

Sall Phoenix appeared next, and a black Undying Bird cried out. Its appearance caused the general temperature of Millions City to rise steeply, and many looked up at the black Undying Bird in shock. This manifestation of the Undying Bird actually had five plumes, and it proudly shot through the sky towards the Corpse King, burning it within black flames and causing it to wail in agony.

Hoffman’s clothes tore apart, and he pressed both palms together to firmly smash downwards. Space itself was visibly compressed, but it did not tear apart under his precise control. This was an Overlaying Stacks technique that far surpassed Lu Yin’s capabilities. While Lu Yin was only capable of unleashing Thirty Stacks, Hoffman’s strike contained Seventy Stacks or even possibly more.

The Blaze Engineer suddenly appeared from an unknown place, and flames once again raged on the Corpse King’s body, and these new flames seemed to rival the black flames that had burnt it before, which rather irritated

Sall Phoenix.

Villa Mistress Lian casually waved a hand, causing phantom lotuses to bloom all around the Corpse King. This was her battle technique, Lotus Strike, and it could even restrict Enlighters. A weaker Enlighter could not even dream of breaking free from this technique.

Five Enlighters had just attacked together, and not a single one of their attacks had missed the Corpse King’s body. If the creature had just been an ordinary Enlighter, then even if its power level approached 300,000, it still would have been severely injured by such a ferocious series of attacks. However, aside from a twisted arm and singed hair due to the two flames, the Corpse King’s body had no other discernible injuries, and its aura became even more ominous.

Lu Yin stared intently at the creature, as this Corpse King was also an Enlighter, and its rune lines were about on par with

Sall Phoenix’s. However, the creature possessed an unimaginable physical strength, and that made it much harder to deal with than someone like

Sall Phoenix. Also, the most worrying thing was…

Lu Yin sighed, as things were turning out about as he had expected: Corpse King Transformation.

Cold air spun and whirled around the Corpse King. It then suddenly looked up, and its now grey eyes caused the crowd to do a double take.

“Corpse King Grey Eyes Transformation! Everyone, attack!” Yuehua Mavis ordered, attempting to rally the Enlighters together to defeat this Corpse King.

However, the next moment,

Villa Mistress Lian’s Lotus Strike was forcibly shattered, and the Corpse King’s uninjured hand suddenly swatted towards

Villa Mistress Lian. She flashed away and evaded the attack as the other Enlighters all attacked as one.

Suddenly, faint lights appeared in all directions that shot towards the Enlighters fighting in outer space.

Lu Yin looked around, as these narrow beams of light actually had rune lines that were comparable to an Enlighter’s, and their might was enough to make even Enlighters wary. More importantly, Lu Yin had seen these thin light beams before: when he had been attacked during the Lockbreaker Competition.

Many people in Millions City suddenly revealed sluggish expressions. These narrow light beams had been shot by these people.

Millions City was instantly plunged into chaos.

Everything happened too suddenly, and nobody was prepared for this.

Black lightning exploded in outer space, and it ruthlessly dispelled

Sall Phoenix’s black flames. The Corpse King then unleashed a punch that landed on Hoffman’s body, and Hoffman was heavily slammed into the ground with a distinct indent on his chest. Just one punch had been enough to severely injure Hoffman.

In the City Master’s estate, Qiong Xi'er searched for her injured father.

“Quickly, gain control of Millions City and activate the Zenith Beam. The Neohuman Alliance wants to scheme against our Millions City, and there’s more than just that one Corpse King that was already detected. Be careful.” Qiong Shanhai coughed up blood as he urged his daughter to action. He was an Enlighter and was not weak, but he had still been severely injured by the Corpse King’s ambush. This was a very serious injury, and the excuse that Qiong Xi'er had used to hold back the visiting Enlighters had actually come true.

Qiong Xi'er’s face went pale, and she hurriedly descended into the estate’s underground facilities.

In the sky, the Corpse King’s body glinted with black lightning, and it was in the midst of a great battle against Yuehua Mavis and the other Enlighters. Even though the Corpse King was being continually beaten back, its grey eyes meant that its physical strength had increased by tenfold. The Enlighters’ all-out attacks were no longer enough to restrain it.

Lu Yin looked for a person who had shot one of the thin beams of light, and he immediately took action. He quickly restrained the person, but as soon as he did so, there was an explosion, and the person suddenly blew up. Lu Yin was forced several meters back as he waved his hand to dispel the smoke that had filled the air. Once the air cleared, he saw scattered bits of machinery alongside a mangled corpse.

This scene played out not only with Lu Yin, but also with many experts all across Millions City. They moved against the people who had fired off the light beams, and every single one of them faced the same situation, and some were even injured by the resulting explosions.

These explosions rang out everywhere in Millions City.

Lu Yin noticed Cai Jianqiang, Cool Sis, Moore, and Mr. Jun fighting, and he also saw Twin Daemons’ rune lines. These people were all either hiding or fighting back, and all sorts of people had appeared in the chaos.

Even the Neohuman Alliance would not dare to take this place lightly when they were forced to face off against so many powerhouses. After all, the Neohuman Alliance did not have large numbers. However, this whole situation gave Lu Yin an uneasy feeling. The Neohuman Alliance had never seemed to try overwhelming their enemies with numbers; they had always acted with just one or two of their members at a time.

A sudden, glaring light appeared from outer space.

Lu Yin looked up and squinted. A group of rune lines had suddenly appeared that approached a power level of 300,000, and these runes formed a beam of light that shot at the Corpse King.

At the same time, dozens of light beams shot out from certain locations within Millions City, and they all converged upon that powerful light beam.

Meanwhile, in outer space, a giant spatial crack appeared and neared the city, looking like a strange beast that was attempting to devour Millions City. Its descent caused an enormous shockwave to ripple out and shatter countless structures. The Fragrance Pavillion and the Riverside Hotel were both instantly blasted into bits and pieces.

Countless commoners were injured by this blast, and even some cultivators were not able to withstand the pressure.

The light beam was not destroyed by the narrow beams. Instead, it fused with them and continued to shoot on toward the Corpse King. However, the massive light ray had been slowed by the narrower beams, which bought enough time for the Corpse King to evade the attack.

Next, a second and a third ray of thick light followed close behind the first one.

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

However, even more narrow beams of light emerged from all over Millions City. Nobody could tell how many dead warriors the Neohuman Alliance had sent to this place.

Lu Yin was puzzled; could the person who had tried to assassinate him before have also been from the Neohuman Alliance?

Beneath the City Master’s estate, at the end of a dark passageway, there was a control room that was filled with all sorts of advanced technology. That room also contained a bright screen that was displaying multiple different areas of Millions City at the same time, including what was happening in outer space above the city.

Qiong Xi'er pressed her hand against the screen. Her hand was covered with fresh blood, her face was pale, but she stared unwaveringly at the Corpse King. Beneath her feet was a countless number of star essence. “Again.”

As these words were uttered, a bit of the star essence beneath her vanished, seemingly absorbed by something. The next moment, another light beam shot out across the sky and rocketed towards the Corpse King.

“So the Qiong family’s blood is indeed the key to this mobile fortress,” a sinister voice called out from behind Qiong Xi'er.

Qiong Xi'er’s face turned a deathly shade of white as she slowly turned around to see a pair of white eyes. These dead eyes were accompanied by a specter that existed in a form of black mist that was staring straight at her.

In that instant, Qiong Xi'er’s entire body seemed to freeze up, and she did not move a single muscle. No, it was more that she didn’t dare to move. She felt like she was prey being stared at by a predator, and that any movement would result in her death.

The black mist slowly spread out and enveloped her as she stared at the specter in front of her in terror. “Who- who are you?”

The man’s white eyes focused on the screen that was displaying multiple Enlighters surrounding the Corpse King. He then slowly ordered, “Attack Yuehua Mavis.”

Qiong Xi'er’s expression changed drastically, but she did not react.

The white eyes turned to stare at her again, and the man slowly enunciated every syllable as he repeated his command. “A-ttack-Yue-hua-Ma-vis.”

Qiong Xi'er’s eyes trembled, and they gradually turned blank. She then activated the Zenith Beam again, but this time, it was aimed at Yuehua Mavis.

In the sky above the City Master’s estate, the Enlighter who had been dealing the most damage to the Corpse King was Yuehua Mavis. It could not evade any of her attacks, and she was the only one who was actually able to harm the Corpse King’s tough physical body. The Mavis family controlled the entire Human Domain’s finances, which led to everyone associating them with money, but it took strength to protect such wealth.

The Mavis family was from the Neoverse, and they were not afraid of the Three Dark Hands.

An emerald-green radiance flashed out as Yuehua Mavis’s palm struck the Corpse King’s back, causing it to wail in agony as

Villa Mistress Lian, the Blaze Engineer, and all the other Enlighters’ attacks were all simply ignored. It was only wary of Yuehua Mavis.

A massive ray of light shot into outer space again, and once again, it was obstructed by the narrow beams of light. However, unlike the previous times, the ray struck Yuehua Mavis’s body this time.

Nobody had expected for this to happen, least of all Yuehua Mavis. She had not even tried to dodge. But despite striking her head on, the light ray was not able to cause much damage. IN fact, Yuehua Mavis only looked slightly dishevelled by it.

An invisible layer of protection had appeared around her body, and it gave her a divine appearance.

Yuehua Mavis looked up above, puzzled, and she saw another light ray emerge. Once again, she was the target of this attack.

Something was off, and it seemed that some misfortune had occurred down in Millions City.

This time, Yuehua Mavis easily dodged the light ray, and she looked down at the ground, her expression contemplative.

In the distance, a powerful aura surged forth. However, this aura ignored the Corpse King. Instead, it immediately charged down toward the area beneath the City Master’s estate. It was the Zhu family’s ancestor, Zhu Tiezhu.

He was also an Enlighter, but even though Zhu Tiezhu fiercely charged underground, he was quickly and pathetically beaten back. As he retreated, he panted heavily, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips. He had clearly been at a disadvantage against whatever was down there.

Zhu Tiezhu shouted, “Everyone, Millions City is an ancient mobile fortress, and if the Neohuman Alliance takes control of it, even an Envoy will die inside it. Everyone, please, we have to stop the Neohuman Alliance.”

Yuehua Mavis and the others were not surprised by this announcement, as they and the powers behind them had already made their own conjectures concerning Millions City.

“The key to activating Millions City is the Qiong family’s blood, and an underground Neohuman Alliance expert has already taken control of Qiong Xi'er. It won’t be long before an even more powerful attack is launched against us,” Zhu Tiezhu shouted. This was also the reason why he had charged underground without any hesitation. He had not wanted to reveal himself earlier, and he had not appeared even when True Insight had been stolen from his family. The Zhu family coveted control over Millions City, but their ancestor could not remain concealed at this time; otherwise, they would all die.

The Neohuman Alliance had truly made a bold move this time, and it was completely terrifying.

Villa Mistress Lian’s eyes trembled. As the void was ripped open, multiple blooming lotus flowers emerged to entangle the Corpse King. The might of this attack was completely different from her previous ones, as this time, the lotuses could even lock down the void. The Corpse King was unable to break free from the blossoms. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Blaze Engineer and

Sall Phoenix immediately attacked together, and their two flames burned away at the Corpse King’s body. Yuehua Mavis also acted, clasping both of her hands together before slowly opening them back up. A soft radiance of moonlight gradually emerged from the centers of her palms, and the light easily pierced through the Corpse King, forcing it to violently spit out a mouthful of blood. It then slowly fell towards the ground.

This attack truly frightened the other Enlighters. The Mavis family’s hidden strength was in no way inferior to the Three Dark Hands’. In fact, their family was so old that they had been around even longer than the Neohuman Alliance. The other Enlighters were barely able to harm the Grey Eyed Corpse King, but it had been cautious towards every attack from Yuehua Mavis.
