Shura unleashes a devastating attack, obliterating Barrymore and his forces as they attempt to breach the Starry Sky Gate. The vortex is torn open, and Shura emerges, mocking the Saint Luo Clan's assembled Star Body Fortress. As the fortress prepares its Spore Annihilation Cannon, Shura collects ten pieces of High Crystal Stone from Evil Wing.

At this moment, Shura's eyes burned with a crimson intensity.

Within a vision painted entirely in scarlet hues, myriad lines became distinct.

Countless blood-red markers materialized in Mu Fan's sight, yet his pupils remained as profound as the abyss.

His gaze penetrated every illusion, mirroring Shura's line of focus!

Amidst the ever-shifting, intricate formations, a singular, narrow passage...

Suddenly materialized in the ensuing second!

Concurrently, a vein resembling molten magma erupted from the chest, extending to the right palm, as a Red Flame silently enveloped the High Crystal Stone.

The nano-metal binding the High Crystal Stone liquefied instantaneously, and the surfaces of those ten High Crystal Stones fractured and compressed, causing the surrounding transparent dark void to distort.

The escalating energy signature began to capture the attention of every monitoring display across the combined fleet.

[Warning: Anomalous energy reaction detected 44,300 meters ahead!]

Every member of the Saint Luo Clan simultaneously turned their attention, and at this instant, pure white light clusters began to emanate from Shura's right hand, blindingly brilliant.

The Red Flame that had previously scaled Shura's right arm was forced back into the palm, effectively shielding the hand from the burgeoning light cluster, now fifty centimeters in diameter.

The right arm drew inward towards the chest, halted abruptly, and then...

Shot forward with such velocity that the lower half of the arm became a blur.

The white light cluster, swift as a meteor, etched a brilliant trail across their vision, breaching the spatial barrier for thousands of meters. Just a mere half-second before the colossal fortress, spanning over five kilometers in diameter, could complete its assembly—it pierced straight through.

Even from tens of thousands of meters away, the visible surge of displaced air was apparent as the 173 warships finalized their formation around the fortress.

"Spore Annihilation Bomb, prepare to launch! ---

Within the spore neural network, the command to fire was finally broadcast.

From the fortress's defense battle module, a hulking figure encased in a form-fitting nano combat suit, possessing a physique akin to a bear, displayed a ferocious glare. As he acknowledged the launch order and the confirmation of the fortress's completion, a malevolent grin spread across his lips, and his right hand... slammed downward!

Let the Saint Luo Clan's spore storm annihilate all in its path!

"Ding..."

A delicate cracking sound, akin to fine porcelain, suddenly resonated beside him.

Though pleasing to the ear, that sound was entirely unfamiliar amidst his usual environment, and at this precise moment, it felt eerily piercing!

This was because such a sound should not have manifested in his vicinity.

"What..." As he began to lift his head to question, the dense steel floor beneath his feet violently jutted upward, launching his entire person into the air.

With a resounding impact, the burly Saint Luo Battle Body collided with the ceiling. Before he could process the events, he witnessed the floor of the entire control room erupt with countless protrusions, and in the following instant, torrents of fierce white light streams speared through these bulges, unleashing a devastating wave of superheated air that swirled violently throughout the command center.

Boom, splash!

The Saint Luo Battle Body was instantly pulverized!

At this juncture, it wasn't merely this chamber; every compartment, the entirety of the fortress, every single location simultaneously swelled outward as if forcefully ruptured like a balloon, detonating with a deafening roar!

Billions of white lights erupted violently from the newly formed fissures.

The gargantuan Star Body Fortress, measuring five kilometers across, appeared to undergo a controlled demolition... fragmenting into a terrifying tempest of metal that scattered in all directions!

Evil Wing gazed with wide, stunned eyes at the exploding "Star Body," utterly awestruck.

Waves of energy surged forward, but upon reaching five meters from Shura, they were arrested by a faint crimson Star Mist that spontaneously appeared.

"Roar? Roar roar roar~~"

Evil Wing raised a wing, pointing forward, its massive head fixated excitedly on Shura.

Its limited intellect struggled to grasp the unfolding events.

Mu Fan, with an impassive expression, observed the cosmic spectacle that unfolded, then turned his head.

"Your rations, utilizing the counter-pressure from Shura's Red Flame to generate the energy fusion storm, I owe you twenty servings."

"Roar?"

Evil Wing was instantly dumbfounded, its entire form trembling violently.

It stared in bewildered terror at the magnificent display, akin to colliding planets, unable to connect the destructive, yet strangely still, energy storm with the appearance of the High Crystal Stone.

When it typically consumed its meals... it was never this overwhelming.

And contemplating the entirety of its year-long provisions stored within its belly, the thought of a battle causing someone to strike its abdomen filled it with dread.

Would rations exposed to immense heat and sheer force... cause its belly... to detonate!?

Evil Wing's face turned a ghastly green, a look of sheer terror upon it!

Mu Fan observed the dragon's anxious and resigned expression, along with its belly-patting gesture, with amusement. He spoke again, his tone laced with helplessness, "In this entire world, only Black possesses the knowledge to compress High Crystal Stones. Moreover, it requires elemental flames akin to Shura Karma Fire to forge a High Crystal Stone bomb."

"Furthermore, what's loaded within the Star Body Fortress is the very core of the explosion."

"Cease your worrying. Even if your belly were pierced, those crystal stones wouldn't detonate. Evil Wing, let's depart!"

"Roar..." Evil Wing let out a long, drawn-out sigh of relief, the sound palpable.

Responding to Mu Fan's directive, Evil Wing swiftly nodded in deference, issuing a flurry of urgent howls over the public communication channel.

"The silly dragon relays that we must await the dissipation of the oncoming energy storm. The space is far too volatile for pursuit at this moment."

Mu Fan gave a gentle nod.

Thus, the man and his dragon quietly observed the breathtaking, extravagant fireworks display, a spectacle so costly it defied imagination.

Had the enemy warships dispersed simultaneously, employing the myriad of bizarre tactics known to the Saint Luo Clan, their destruction, one by one, would have undoubtedly consumed immense time.

However, the opponent had inexplicably gathered together. Shura seized that fleeting instant, exploiting the minuscule gap that appeared during the transformation and amalgamation of all ship components, striking directly at the fortress's core.

An energy explosion's effect is amplified manifold within an enclosed space.

For that colossal Battle Fortress, its fully stocked energy reserves essentially functioned as a gigantic bomb.

All that was needed was a perfectly timed spark to ignite the chain reaction.

Flurry after flurry of energy tides continuously surged, only to be repeatedly nullified by the Star Mist generated by the Scarlet Cloak.

The immense Star Body Fortress acted as a perpetual furnace, continuously supplying fuel. The magnificent explosion raged for a full ten minutes!

Once the energy storm finally subsided, the scene revealed was one of countless metal fragments, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

The silent, debris-laden fortress wreckage served as a stark testament to the ferocity of the engagement.

"Is that sufficient?" Mu Fan's gaze fell upon Shura's energy gauge. After emerging from the wormhole and enduring numerous battles, a mere 5% capacity remained...
