CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: ONE MAN HOLDS THE PASS, TEN THOUSAND CANNOT BREAK THROUGH

Today, beneath the earth of Cloud City, the roots of the Star-Sucking Tree penetrate the core of Star Blue Continent, stretching throughout the subterranean expanse of Cloud City.

At the same time, as the Star-Sucking Tree, using Deceitful Mutant Creatures as nourishment, absorbs the power of the core, a new batch of Star Trees sprouts across Cloud City with a thunderous roar.

Like parasites, the cities gradually transform into forests.

However, these Star-Sucking Trees did not bear fruit.

Instead, they grew...

Gray-green crawling creatures with four claws, bare bodies, round heads, sharp claws, a row of bone spurs on their backs, terrifying gaping mouths, a single eye, and the size of a van.

These creatures emerge from the Star-Sucking Trees in just eight to fifteen seconds.

Once formed, they fall to the ground, and then visibly grow.

Batch after batch, they roar and scatter, as if with a purpose, heading straight for the Cloud City Shelter.

Gu Qijue, who was picking Star Fruits, was unaware of this situation.

At this moment, there were already 580,000 fruits in the space of his brows.

Half of the whole tree had been picked.

Dong dong dong——

Buzz buzz buzz——

However, at this moment.

The entire Star-Sucking Tree began to tremble.

The remaining unpicked fruits burst into dazzling starry light.

Then they continuously expanded and transformed into monsters.

"Not good, retreat!!"

Seeing this, Gu Qijue subtly tensed up. At this moment, he had ascended to the Peak of Tier Six by devouring Star Fruits.

"Oh my god, they’ve turned into monsters."

"Run!!"

Hearing Gu Qijue’s shout, everyone’s hearts were filled with terror as the forming monsters seemed like a great horror to them.

They frantically fled from the tree.

Roar! Roar——

The speed at which the monsters grew exceeded their imagination, with tens of thousands of monsters formed from 400,000-500,000 fruits instantly dropping down, their single eyes flashing with excitement as they charged ferociously towards the fleeing people and other creatures.

Ah!!

An unfortunate Super Martial Artist was knocked down and decapitated by a Star Monster with a loud bang.

"You go first, I’ll hold them off!"

Gu Qijue roared without reservation, holding the Thunder Dragon Sword in his left and the Thunder Dragon Spear in his right, turning around at unstoppable speed to charge into the tens of thousands of onrushing Star Monsters.

Roar roar——

Three Star Monsters lunged with their massive gaping mouths the size of water tanks.

Their sharp teeth were like blades.

Their sharp claws were raised high.

"Die!!"

Gu Qijue shouted in anger, sweeping the Dragon Spear across.

Boom! Bang——

Gu Qijue had expected to kill them instantly.

But he never thought.

His terrifying strike.

Only left a long wound on the heads of the three Star Monsters.

"This..."

Gu Qijue’s eyes showed horror—there were hundreds of thousands of such monsters...

Luckily, the thunder that had penetrated the three monsters’ bodies seemed to cause them significant injury.

After a bout of convulsions, the three Star Monsters fell from the thousand-meter tree.

Roar! Roar!!

Before Gu Qijue could think, another six Star Monsters fiercely pounced.

"Kill!"

Gu Qijue went completely berserk, his body radiating with thunder, battling among six Star Creatures with full force, cutting one down with a sword and sweeping away two with a spear.

Just after dealing with three, another dozen rushed in howling from the front.

Roar! Roar——

The double dragons behind Gu Qijue roared, spewing rampant thunder to fend them off.

Meanwhile, taking a hit to the chest from a Star Monster’s claw, Gu Qijue fiercely cut them down one by one.

Retrieving the bleeding double dragons that held off those dozen monsters, Gu Qijue proactively charged in.

After eliminating those thirteen monsters, new bleeding claw marks appeared on Gu Qijue.

The tough dragon scales covering his body were broken.

Without delay, he swallowed a few more Star Fruits to heal his wounds. Then forty to fifty Star Monsters charged fiercely from the tree.

Gu Qijue took a deep breath, glanced at the group still 500 meters from the ground, and rose again with his Dragon Sword and Dragon Spear.

These are humanity’s hopes.

Though weak now, it’s merely because their levels are too low.

Moreover, if they hadn’t come, he alone could have only harvested tens of thousands of fruits.

They are not a burden.

Without words, without fear, Gu Qijue fully unleashed his power, black thunder roaring like hundreds of thunder dragons, meeting the forty to fifty Star Monsters head-on.

"Boss!!!!"

As the others fled, they watched him desperately resist the powerful Star Monsters, tears glistening in their eyes, cursing their own weakness as they could only speed up their escape.

Without Gu Qijue standing in their way, none could have escaped the much faster Star Monsters.

Roar!!

With an angry roar, Gu Qijue, enduring a bite on the shoulder, pushed back four Star Monsters and killed two.

He stood alone with the courage to withstand the thousands alone.

White Fox, Ji Shang, Cute Treasure, Xing Emperor, Wu Jiao, Bai Jingyi, Zhu Hongyu, and others watched with trembling hearts.

Even the Deceitful Mutant Creatures like Deceit felt a sting in their eyes watching the scene.

The millions of viewers watching on the livestream were deeply moved by the scene unfolding.

The majestic silhouette standing fearlessly, deeply imprinted in their minds—perhaps for life.

Pfft!!

After dispatching those forty to fifty Star Monsters, Gu Qijue could no longer suppress the surging blood within, spitting a mouthful of blood. He hastily consumed ten Star Fruits to hold it down.

"Boss, run!!"

Voices from Zhu Hongyu and others reached him from the ground.

They had landed and escaped the entanglement of the branches.

Seeing this, Gu Qijue let out a sigh of relief. For him to leave was simple.

With a thunderous burst, he sped out of the Star-Sucking Tree’s range using Thunderstorm Sky Control.

Howl! Roar roar roar——

But tens of thousands of Star Monsters on the tree had their sights locked on him, risking their lives, hurling themselves from the tree at him.

Then it could be seen.

One Star Monster after another, huge and covering the sky, pouncing towards Gu Qijue, determined to take him down even at the cost of their lives.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qijue’s heart tightened. He dodged monster after monster launching themselves at him from the tree.

But their numbers were overwhelming.

Several times, he narrowly avoided decapitation.

His dragon scales were shattered at numerous places, blood streaming from ghastly wounds.

Yet his fighting spirit was undiminished.

No trace of panic showed in his eyes or on his face, chillingly calm.

The millions in the livestream felt shivers watching the scene.
