Chapter 784: Destroy this place!

    ?

    A month later, on a planet far from the Sea of Consciousness, the sky that should have been filled with twinkling stars was instead shrouded in dark energy, echoing with the sickening laughter of Nightkin race.

    Their pale, ghostly skin stood in stark contrast to the oppressive darkness that emanated from them, and their crimson pupils gleamed with satisfaction as they watched the helpless inhabitants of the planet being dragged through the rubble of their once-thriving cities.

    Buildings lay in ruins, reduced to mere skeletons of their former glory, while the air was thick with despair and the acrid stench of smoke. The agonizing, loud cries of the oppressed filled the air, a chilling echo that only seemed to amuse their captors.

    As the people of the Nightkin race reveled in their victory, the planet''s vibrant life was slowly being extinguished, leaving behind a wasteland of fear and hopelessness.

    Suddenly, one of the Nightkin, a powerful supreme rank old woman dressed in fitted crimson attire, shouted to another.

    "Destroy this place! I checked, there is no trace of any Celestial Spirit here."

    His command was met with laughter of agreement. But before they could ignite the planet and activate the scattered artifacts to explode it into pieces, a powerful kick struck the woman who had just given the order, causing her to cry out in pain.

    Her cry startled her people in the vicinity, and as they turned, they were met by an angry, bloodshot pair of maroon-gray eyes. Asher wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and laughed maniacally.

    "I am still alive, you witch! How dare you destroy my home right before my eyes!"

    The golden scales that filled his exposed skin beneath the tattered, bloodied outfit, along with the horns on his head, shone brilliantly even in the darkness.

    Asher blocked the attack, but he couldn''t evade the strikes from the other members of the Nightkin race surrounding him.

    He gritted his teeth as the numerous injuries on his body, which hadn''t even healed properly, stung painfully.

    But he didn''t back down. He was here to end them all! That''s why he lashed out at them with all his remaining strength, unleashing one skill after another.

    He hadn''t comprehended any natural laws, but spiritual energy was his strongest suit! He was confident that he possessed double the amount of spiritual energy compared to most ordinary supreme ranks!

    As he fought against the woman and the others, no one noticed a few more figures stepping into the planet''s boundary.

    James''s eyes narrowed at the devastation. He was about to turn back when he noticed that the planet had already been conquered. However, among the group of people with him, the two men who had recently joined him thought differently.

    Alec''s eyes widened when he saw Asher''s familiar figure and his poor condition. He unsheathed his sword and shouted.

    "Attack! Kill them all!"

    Jian''s crimson eyes darkened at the sight. He didn''t even wait for Alec''s command and had already disappeared to fight the woman and the poeple attacking Asher.

    A merciless punch landed on the supreme rank woman''s abdomen, sending her flying back into the air as she cried out in pain.

    Jian didn''t turn back to look at Asher''s shocked figure as he kicked and punched the other people around the half-dragon away. When he was done clearing the space, his deep and oppressive voice echoed across the entire planet.

    "I am just going to kill you all, and that would be a mercy! If Kyle were here, he would have tortured you severely for even laying a hand on our friends!"
