The dark mist was about to descend when Turquoise Pool sharply reprimanded, "Reckless!"
Boom!
The fierce momentum, determined to wash everything away, sped off like a lit fuse, humbly kneeling in the distance.
Even the suffocating 'Flesh Space River' had to retreat to one side as if a caution line had been drawn up.
Turquoise Pool swallowed an Elixir Pill to replenish her mana, her expression still retaining the Skill's cold and majestic beauty.
The dark mist fell, and Li Changzhou's face was somewhat pale.
Thirty kilometers, a journey that would only take over half an hour by car, was but a step away for an Immortal, but due to the barriers spaced heavily, it drained his "Ability" to the limit.
Boom!
The scarlet luminescence, which had been repelled by 'Favored Concubine - Reckless,' attacked again like a wolf pack, rushing in more fiercely and venomously than before.
Li Changzhou glanced at Yang Qinglan, who was also looking over. The two met each other's eyes, and in the next moment, the 30 kilometers shrank to nothing, and they were face-to-face.
Teleportation.
Yang Qinglan sized him up and smiled slightly. She then turned to look at Li Qianxia who had caught a free ride, "You're not dead, huh?"
Li Qianxia pouted, rolling her eyes in an exasperated teenager fashion.
Turquoise Pool laughed, "She forgot she was wearing the retinal display device, using—"
"I didn't forget!" Li Qianxia retorted, "That time my brother was talking to me, distracting me, just like last time when driving, always asking questions, touching my leg, that's why I mistakenly drove onto the opposite lane at the red light!"
The four of them reunited, and seeing that everyone was okay, their mood lightened, and they couldn't help but joke around.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Little Demon Star shouted, "Think of something fast!"
Not only the luminescence outside the candle, but the previous attacks on Li Changzhou and others were also closing in rapidly through continuous refraction, from thirty kilometers away.
Because of the sheer number of luminescences, it was difficult to see clearly through the refractions; it was like a burst blood-colored flood rushing toward them.
Behind the flood, the space twisted as if strangled by ropes, making it seem as though space itself was in pursuit of the scarlet luminescence.
"How can there be so many?" Flower Fairy was somewhat shocked, "The space is also splitting improperly, too fast, too frequently!"
Si looked around and suddenly said, "I understand now, why I saw the possibility of success. With our current status and strength, even if we resolved this Flesh Space River, we wouldn't have been able to reactivate the base star."
The Flesh Space River was not the main opponent; defeating it did not constitute a win.
The people on the Divine Will Great Wall side had to withstand waves of assault from the flesh warriors to restart the base star. The Flesh Space River was only one of countless such assaults.
Flower Fairy looked at Si, "You mean, the flesh side is making a desperate move?"
Si nodded, then explained to Li Changzhou and the others, who were unfamiliar with the situation, "This 'Flesh Space River' gathers all the opponent's flesh, of course, the flesh allocated to this base star. If we defeat it, there won't be a next wave, we win."
"The key is how to defeat it, I can't eat all this." Little Demon Star scooped up a handful of flesh luminescence from outside the candlelight, tearing it wide, swallowing a marshmallow-sized luminescence in one gulp.
Her hand was scrubbed until only purple-black bones remained, yet her mouth, throat, and stomach, which ate the luminescence, were unscathed.
In the retinal display device, apart from them, only one person was alive, that warrior with a body of blue light.
Along with the space-traversing Flower Fairy, Si's picks were actually well prepared; if not for the flesh side making a desperate move this time, they should have been able to reunite and safely guard the "arena."
Turquoise Pool glanced subconsciously at the 'Candle.'
It had barely burned down at all, burning at the same rate as a regular candle under normal conditions; clearly, these flesh luminescences were simply trivial for this S-grade artifact.
The candlelight blocked the scarlet luminescence like an adult man holding off a three-year-old child attempting to push him— the child couldn't even reach the man's hand.
"We're safe for now," she said, "let's recover our abilities first."
Li Changzhou looked at Si, "Are you sure killing the Flesh Space River will complete the mission?"
Si thought for a while, "Seventy percent."
"Qian Xia, give me the Flame Butterfly," Li Changzhou said.
"Bro, what are you planning to do? Not giving it to Qing Lan?" A butterfly, its wings like two balls of fierce flames, fluttered sparkling embers, flying from Li Qianxia's shoulder towards Li Changzhou.
"I'll try to trace back and seize the essence of the Flesh Space River." The butterfly circled above Li Changzhou's head, then suddenly self-ignited, and golden flames descended upon him.
