The Gardot Empire's fleet launched a desperate assault, led by Prince Xuyang in his mecha, the Heavenly Martial Machine God. They clashed with the Insect Clan's forces, inflicting heavy losses but also suffering greatly. Meanwhile, Gu Yunyou infiltrated the Insect Clan's defenses in his Deity Weapon, aiming to destroy the Insect Brain. However, he was overwhelmed by a massive force of Insect People, and his solo mission failed, leaving him critically injured. As the Gardot forces faced annihilation, a new power arrived, turning the tide of the battle.

The moment a single person leapt down from the Bone Fly, four engines behind him roared into life.

The crimson light on his body surface instantly blazed across the universe!

A river of blood flames spread across the entire starry sky, illuminating every individual below.

"That's..."

"Asura!"

"Mu Fan!"

Inside the cockpit of the Heavenly Martial Machine God and the Deity Weapon, both individuals lost their voices simultaneously.

Then, a flame called hope began to rise in their pupils!

The armored Insect People obstructing everyone had vortexes appear in their pupils, capturing the image in the sky within their sight.

Then, apart from four Insect People remaining in front, the other twenty-seven Insect People vanished into the vortices behind them!

[Command execution... obstruct!]

The searing red flame gave them a threat far surpassing any previous instance!

And at that moment, the Insect Brain exploded with a fear only reserved for life-and-death crises.

The fifty-nine armored Insect People preparing to attack the Deity Weapon also looked up simultaneously and, to Gu Yunyou's astonishment, fifty-eight of them vanished instantly!

Only one Insect Person remained in front of him.

At this moment, a vigorous fighting spirit reignited from the depths of his eyes.

Those damned insects were clearly afraid.

They feared Mu Fan penetrating their territory.

They were terrified.

"It seems that my life wasn't meant to end today!" With a cold smile on his face, the Deity Weapon raised both hands high, and the Six-winged Flying Wheel reassembled, transforming in an instant into a golden energy storm that stretched thousands of meters high!

Divine Tornado!

As the storm engulfed everything around, the Deity Weapon forcefully thrust its hands forward, instantly consuming that sole remaining armored Insect Person.

The terrifying energy storm isolated everything outside of it.

One on one, if he couldn't kill his opponent.

Gu Yunyou would rather kill himself on this spot!

...

At this point, all remaining armored Insect People had breached into deep space.

In Mu Fan's blood-colored vision, dozens of blood-red points converged from all directions.

Those blood-red points, as indicated by the Shura's energy level markings.

Corresponded to—SSS level!

These were eighty-five enemies comparable to SSS-level Emperor Bodies!

"They really think highly of me." A chilling voice resounded, and in the depths of Mu Fan's eyes, a primitive and bloody slaughterous aura began to rise.

"The Zeg Clan's technology has finally reached this point..." Mohandas from the Dark Holy Hall rasped, "After plundering several planes, their technology has finally begun evolving towards peak military strength. The Netherworld Generals, once a fleeting presence, have also appeared..."

"Mu Fan, those are the Zeg's ultimate force, the humanoid combat entity [Netherworld Generals], they are wicked weapons that shouldn't exist in this world. They devour all living organisms to convert them into the energy for their own movement. Endless insects are their most extensive backup energy source!"

"To completely kill the Netherworld Generals, we must isolate them from ordinary Zegs!"

Mohandas directly provided the name and characteristics of these strange creatures, but as the blood-colored points in vision approached, veins on Mu Fan's forehead started to bulge, and the madness in his gaze intensified.

Today's Mu Fan was no longer that naive boy.

The killings he experienced had allowed him, someone with terrifying combat talent, to grow into a true warrior of his bloodline race.

"There is no time left."

"My mission is only one, that is... to break the Insect Brain!"

Mu Fan's uncompromising iron-blooded voice was cast backward through Shura's will.

"Bone Fly, take me for this last journey!"

The juvenile Bone Fly, in the deep space several thousand kilometers away, suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing layers of serrated edges.

A black vortex emerged from its throat, then abruptly blasted out.

A straight black tornado tore through the sky, engulfing Shura's figure.

At this moment, a massive black totem phantom appeared behind Shura.

Like the tremors of a mountain, a heavy heartbeat echoed inside and outside the mecha.

Mu Fan's heart and Shura's heart were in perfect synchronization at this moment.

Mu Fan's entire body exuded horrific blood-colored steam, and he threw back his head to let out a beast-like furious roar.

"Shu————ra————"

"Bore through this last five thousand kilometers for me!!"

With its entire body blade armor already fearfully standing upright, Shura's eyes ignited completely at this moment.

"My master's command."

"——is my glory!"

The half-bloomed red lotus on the chest emerged thoroughly at this moment, bright red like blood.

The entire mecha took the chest as its core, with countless patterns extending to the limbs, first blazing like magma, then in the next instant, dark red flames rose silently in the vacuum cosmos.

Shura's entire body was completely engulfed in that terrifying red flame.

The once half heart at the Heavenly Chessboard's Heavenly Element Position rekindled furiously like a red sun at this moment.

And at the same moment, a pitch-black like ink, twisted fine line quietly appeared in the space a hundred meters behind Shura.

Ding!

Ding!

The highest-level red alert sounded simultaneously inside the two pinnacle Emperor Bodies.

Gu Yunyou and Xuyang, who had reengaged in battle, stared fiercely at the screen.

[Highest alert, spatial anomaly, coordinates xxx, breach of this world's threshold...]

[Spatial fluctuations are exponentially intensifying, detecting black hole-like ripples.]

"Leave here... as far... as possible..."

His voice, on the brink of bodily collapse, was intermittent, yet clearly conveyed the core message.

"Is that Mu Fan's voice!?"

"He's telling us to leave!?"

Buzz.

Sound shouldn't be possible in space.

But at this moment, whether it was the Emperor Ship's Firmament Envoy, the Empire's warship, or the two pinnacle Emperor Bodies and the Forbidden Army Ten Riders...

Everyone heard that ripping sound beside their ears.

In the gaze of everyone who looked up in horror, a terrifying and sinister fissure at this moment had completely emerged in the endless deep space beyond the dazzling red sun.

It grew from dozens of meters to hundreds of meters high in the blink of an eye!

Pure black, silent black...

A gentle cosmic wind blew, and as it brushed over the Shura's surface, the burning Red Flame suddenly surged a hundred meters high.

The Shura had already transformed into a giant of crimson red.

When the Bone Fly's dimensional shockwave arrived, the speed already at its limit instantly broke through the threshold.

"Shura Realm ——— Open!!"

Amidst a mad and ferocious roar, that rift completely tore open!

————

Boom!

The gentle cosmic wind turned completely violent.

The door connecting the Luqin Universe and Shura Plane was completely open.

"Who can stop me!"

The voice roared like thunder.

When the Shura Realm covered the Shura's surface, the barrier representing the ultimate and the highest was finally completely broken.

Ultimate Six Gates Realm — supernova!

Double supernova!

Triple supernova!

...

Fivefold supernova!!

The Blade Armor on the Shura's surface was now experiencing bizarre vibrations of dozens of times of collapse and restoration within a second.

Then the vibrating image was instantly elongated over a hundred kilometers, presenting a colorful distortion.

That was a direct manifestation of speed layered to a terrifying level.

The flame streams of the four blood-colored engines merged into a crimson light stream.

The Shura at this moment had infinitely broken through the sixth cosmic speed.

The originally massive phantom even began to shrink in reverse.

The Shura, whose limbs seemed fixed, at this moment was like a War Ghost in the Hellfire Sea, fiercely tearing its arms out from the viscous pull.

With a thunderous unification!

The near ten-meter-long cold blade claws clasped together at this moment.

In an instant, five layers of explosive blasts like quasars stacked together and erupted wildly.

In the instant before eighty-five Netherworld Generals of the Insect Clan were about to encircle.

A bright red thin line instantly broke through!

Two had already reached right in front of Shura.

Supernova, a strike piercing through a planetary Star Core.

And the fivefold supernova, what kind of power does it have, even an overloaded strike for an Emperor Body Shura?

At the ultimate speed…

The blood-colored thin line penetrated these two Netherworld Generals without any obstruction.

The waving blood bone spear and arm blade still lingered in the vacuum universe, yet the forms had already frozen.

The next moment, the two blood and flesh giants, each eighty meters tall, instantly collapsed into a blood mist!!

The surrounding eighty-three Netherworld Generals raised their heads, the tearing Star Ring shockwave surged with the blood mist impacting upon their bodies.

Eighty-three Netherworld Generals simultaneously made a motion, raising arms to block.

It was like humans in a flash flood unconsciously making blocking motions.

Eighty-three Netherworld Generals were violently pushed back.

Their faces finally showed distorted expressions.

All gazes turned to the crimson light stream…

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

All living beings seemed paused.

Only that blood-colored torrent surged forward with unstoppable force!!

Like the spear of hell, it plunged fiercely into that blood and flesh nebula enveloped by trillions of insect swarms!!

The startling blood mist exploded layer by layer like planetary bombardment.

Yet how dense were the trillions of advanced insect swarms.

Numerous White Armors, Swallowing Star Beasts, and Bone-faced Insect Beasts swept out, using their bodies to obstruct that blood-colored body.

The torrent's speed finally slowed.

The eighty-three pushed-back Netherworld Generals reconvened around, merging instantly with eighty-three swirling blood and flesh vortexes!

The advancing torrent finally halted.

Time resumed its flow.

One might say, Shura's strike drilled through 4,990 kilometers, yet in that last 10 kilometers, finally came to a stop.

The fleeing "Insect Brain" Star Body had already shrunk more than tenfold.

The black space around the "Insect Brain" Star Body had expanded more than tenfold.

Nearly a hundred faint green glows began to reappear from the darkness.

Trillions of insect swarms still writhed, but no longer with previous urgency.

Weakness and eeriness emerged simultaneously.

It seemed to have expended most of its energy resisting Mu Fan's advance, yet it ultimately survived.

The joy of surviving death formed in its thought waves, ultimately turning into mockery.

Because the spatial vortex for its escape before the Insect Brain had finally expanded to the point where it could engulf itself.

Leaving this place…

Then releasing the last hundred Netherworld Generals.

The hope of this world's fire would be completely extinguished.

...

To those who witnessed this scene, the color of hope instantly turned into despair.

However, a hoarse and gasping voice came from the Shura which had stopped just before the very end, deeply resonating.

"Agasura Yuan... this is the battlefield I chose for you!!"

"Are you... satisfied!?"
