Chapter 221: The First Star Array
Everyone was shocked as they looked at the numerous powerful figures that had suddenly appeared before them. Even Sun Zhe, who had first detected their hidden presence, felt a grave expression wash over him. Although he had sensed their aura earlier, he had no idea how strong they truly were until now, when he finally saw the true strength of his opponents.
More than fifty individuals were all top-tier experts, no less formidable than those sent by Thunder Continent. Each one possessed extremely peculiar Divine Abilities and methods, effectively blocking all their escape routes. Among them, the two leaders, Lu Lin from Green Forest Continent and Fire Kun from Flame Continent, were top-tier experts of the same caliber as him, both recognized as extraordinary talents by Law.
Strangely, these individuals merely surrounded them without any intention of attacking. Meanwhile, Lu Lin and Fire Kun gazed far into the distance, seemingly waiting for something.
"Could it be that they have reinforcements?"
A jolt ran through Sun Zhe, and this possibility suddenly flashed through his mind.
He recalled that Yan Ruoyun had once told him that some people in the Thunder Temple were unwilling to ally with Wings of Wind Continent, preferring instead to form alliances with other continents. It seemed that these other continents were indeed Green Forest Continent and Flame Continent. This meant that a faction of high-ranking members from the Thunder Temple should also be making an appearance.
Just as this thought crossed Sun Zhe's mind, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the Void. The originally bright sky was engulfed by countless black clouds, shrouding everything in thick mist, plunging the entire area into darkness in an instant.
As darkness enveloped the land, countless purple lightning bolts flashed forth, and an enormous purple Thunder Light dragon materialized. This colossal dragon measured hundreds of feet in length, its head resembling a massive mountain peak, while its body was as thick as several water barrels. Though it was formed from thunder, it radiated an overwhelming might.
"Roar..."
With a deafening roar, two points of purple light flickered in its hollow eye sockets, fixating on the group standing on the ground below. Under its immense pressure, everyone except for Sun Zhe and his companions involuntarily took a step back. The nearly one hundred steeds ridden by the Black Armored Iron Cavalry trembled and crouched on the ground, their eyes filled with sheer terror. The black-armored cavalrymen also displayed expressions of profound shock.
"Brother Zhan, why did you arrive so late?"
Looking at the purple dragon in the Void, Lu Lin, the leader from Green Forest Continent, smiled and asked. As he spoke, a captivating glimmer flashed in his narrow eyes.
"I just encountered Tu Tao from Thick Earth Continent, which delayed me a bit." A cold voice echoed from atop the dragon, devoid of any emotional inflection.
Upon hearing this, everyone noticed that a man dressed in black stood on the back of the dragon. He carried an ancient-looking Bronze Giant Sword on his back. His sharply defined face showed no signs of joy or anger; his black eyes seemed to contain boundless wisdom comparable to the stars above.
As the wind howled around him in mid-air, his garments fluttered dramatically. Standing atop the Thunder Dragon, he hovered in space, exuding a tremendous presence that rivaled that of the purple dragon beneath him. What shocked Sun Zhe even more was that there was a distinct Lightning Symbol on his forehead, emanating an aura far surpassing his own.
"Have you seen this person at the Thunder Temple?" Sun Zhe immediately asked Tang Yue, who was beside him.
"No, he is definitely not one of the people from the Thunder Temple Six Halls!" Tang Yue quickly replied after a brief glance.
Mastering such powerful Thunderous Divine Power and collaborating with strong individuals from the Green Forest and Flame Continents, Sun Zhe was certain that this person must be from the Thunder Continent. Since he was not from the Temple of the Six Halls, this man's identity could only be one of two things: either he came from outside the Thunder Temple or he belonged to the Three Houses within the Thunder Temple.
However, when the spatial passage was opened, Sun Zhe had not seen this person's figure. Clearly, his identity was extraordinary. Analyzing this, it was very likely that he hailed from the most mysterious Three Houses of the Thunder Temple.
"Tu Tao from the Thick Earth Continent? That guy is indeed difficult to deal with. He has comprehended Earth Law for several years now. Although his attack power is average, his defense is terrifyingly strong. What's even more frustrating is that he has mastered the elusive Earth Escape Technique, making him like a rat burrowing underground at night; you can never find him."
Hearing the man's words, Fire Kun, a strong individual from the Flame Continent, couldn't help but frown and spoke up. His expression clearly indicated that he had already fought against Fire Kun and seemed to have suffered some losses.
"Yes, he did indeed use the Earth Escape Technique to escape in the end. However, with his injuries, he will probably have to hide for months," said the man in black standing atop the Thunder Dragon coldly, his words laced with a hint of arrogance. To severely injure the top young expert of the Thick Earth Continent and force him to flee was indeed an impressive achievement.
Looking at the three strong individuals hovering in mid-air who showed no regard for those below them, Sun Zhe furrowed his brows tightly and exchanged a subtle glance with those beside him. Several of them nodded discreetly in agreement.
"Everyone, I am a Hundred-Man Commander of the Black Armored Iron Cavalry under the Second Prince of Zhao. I have no relations with these people; I ask you all to clear a path and let us leave!"
As he noticed more and more strong individuals surrounding them, the Hundred-Man Commander of the Black Armored Iron Cavalry sensed an unusual atmosphere. At this moment, he no longer wished to complete any tasks assigned by his master; he was now worried about his own life. If he lost his life, then everything would truly be over.
Looking up at the three strong individuals from different continents in the Void, he spoke loudly. To add weight to his presence, he did not hesitate to reveal his master's identity—his master was none other than Zhao Hui, the Second Prince of Zhao.
"Second Prince of Zhao... Hundred-Man Commander... what are they?"
Stepping forward with his right foot, the purple dragon beneath him instantly transformed into points of Purple Radiance and vanished into half of the Void. The man in black slowly descended, coldly gazing at nearly a hundred cavalrymen below him and asked mockingly.
"You..." The Hundred-Man Commander's face changed immediately, while the remaining nearly one hundred black-armored cavalrymen also displayed expressions of shock and anger. In their minds, imperial authority was supreme; they had never seen anyone dare to look down on imperial power in Nine Continents Mainland. Even powerful individuals from other empires would not be so arrogant.
"What? Just because you are a Second Prince? Even if you are Zhao's emperor, I wouldn't take you seriously at all. As for you all, no one is leaving here today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple dragon that had disappeared beneath him suddenly emerged from underground with a thunderous roar that made everyone's ears tremble slightly. The purple dragon opened its massive mouth and lunged toward nearly a hundred Black Armored Iron Cavalrymen.
How formidable was a Thunder Dragon hundreds of feet long? With one claw swipe, over ten people lost their lives; countless severed limbs flew into the air as crimson blood drenched the ground. One by one, terrified cavalrymen were swallowed by the giant dragon, their wretched cries echoing across the plain. No matter how they fled, they could never escape the dragon's claws and jaws. The brutal scene made everyone from Thunder Temple furrow their brows slightly.
"Haha... People from Nine Continents Mainland are indeed just ants; a bunch of lowly commoners dare to shout in front of us..." Watching as Black Armored Iron Cavalrymen frantically tried to escape but were still devoured by the Thunder Dragon, Lu Lin sneered mockingly.
"This Thunder Dragon is not an ordinary dragon formed by thunder; it likely contains some Dragon Beast soul," Li Zhen remarked in awe as he gazed at the imposing dragon.
Dragon Beast refers to a beast with the bloodline of a giant dragon. Although it is not a true dragon, the Beast Soul contains a trace of dragon might. If such a Beast Soul is used as a medium to summon the Thunder Dragon through secret methods, its power is naturally incomparable to an ordinary Thunder Dragon. Of course, if it were summoned using a true dragon soul, its strength would be far beyond what is currently seen; that kind of Thunder Dragon could shatter the void with a single claw, surpassing the current one by at least a hundred times.
However, the crowd did not notice that Sun Zhe, standing in front, had tightly clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the dead bodies on the plain. Perhaps these people deserved to die, but they should never have been tortured like this. Especially the last words of Lu Lin deeply stirred his feelings for the Nine Continents Mainland.
"Now it's your turn!"
With an icy gaze directed at Sun Zhe and the others, the Thunder Dragon returned to the feet of the man in black, enhancing his aura even further. Surrounding him was Purple Thunder, emanating a terrifying presence like that of an Ancient Deity.
Lu Lin from the Green Forest Continent and the fiery Fire Kun also ceased their conversation. Their bodies flickered and appeared around the crowd, their Divine Consciousness locking onto Sun Zhe and his group. Since the man in black they had been waiting for had arrived, they naturally no longer needed to hold back.
"Who are you?"
Coldly gazing at the man in black standing atop the Thunder Dragon, Sun Zhe's black eyes flashed with a glint of brilliance as he coldly asked. At this moment, everyone behind him gathered all their spiritual power, waiting for Sun Zhe's command.
"I am from the Thunder God Temple, Earth Spirit Mansion. Battle!"
"You are the first on the Star Ranking List, Starry Battle?" Li Zhen trembled, unable to hide the shock in his eyes as he exclaimed.
