Black mist spread around Xue Yinzhou, devouring all those polluted species.

But this place was a carefully arranged trap by Lin Xi aimed at a decisive kill, already laid out with tens of thousands of polluted species, representing all strategic assets left by the Alien Star here. How could they be devoured so easily?

Meanwhile, things weren’t looking great for Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao either.

Shen Tang attempted to use her spiritual power to help, but Lin Xi also let out a cold laugh, "Your Majesty, don’t be anxious; I’ve specially prepared a grand gift just for you!"

Countless distorted, imaginary human faces suddenly appeared in the air, emitting ghastly cries like wronged spirits, launching a psychic attack wildly at Shen Tang.

Shen Tang’s spiritual power was extremely strong, able to sense the energy of all things, which was her advantage, but it also became her greatest disadvantage. Her mind instantly filled with countless tearing sounds, which made her brain feel like it was about to explode, and a trace of blood flowed from her eyes, nose, and ears.

"Tangtang!" Xue Yinzhou rushed over to protect her in his arms, slashing those resentful ghosts.

"Stop struggling, today you’re all staying here!" Lin Xi’s eyes were even more contemptuous, his icy horns condensing powerful ice abilities, which roared inside. Within the rampant wind and snow, giant figures were forming, rushing toward this location.

These Ice Beasts, originally born on the Icefield, had been catalyzed by rampant forces, becoming even stronger and turning into merciless terrifying monsters, charging at intruders like those mutant species.

Despite Shen Tang and the others being strong Primordial Rank Beastmen, facing so many powerful attacks, it seemed they hardly stood a chance!

...

Yiyuan Empire Palace.

Shen Li had been in seclusion, translating the content from the Blood Clan’s prophecy book.

But when he translated a particular line, his red fox eyes suddenly shrank, and even the pen in his hand tilted down, sliding away.

His breathing stopped.

How could this be?

He seemed to sense something, clutching his chest, his face pale. He bit his fingertip to draw out a blood curse in the air, and then his figure disappeared.

...

In the Divine Hall deep in the sea, Jia Lan also seemed to have predicted something, suddenly opening his eyes, the icy and hasty look flashing in his azure eyes. His originally cold white face seemed to become even paler as he turned and left the quiet room.

The temple attendants saw the High Priest leave the temple, but no one dared to stop him, as for the first time, he exuded such a chilling aura; anyone who dared might lose their life.

The only person capable of causing such an emotional stir in the High Priest was probably that female.

Did something happen to her?

The temple attendants quickly detected energy fluctuations in the sea area.

Their faces changed drastically!

The energy fluctuations seemed not to originate from the deep sea but from the land.

The terrestrial energy metamorphosis could affect the sea area; one can imagine how terrifying this energy is.

Oh heavens.

Is something major going to happen on land?

The fishes suddenly went into a panic.

Far away in the palace, Jialouluo sensed this abnormal energy fluctuation, and even the palace at the sea area’s center seemed to shake for a moment, as if like an earthquake. The deep sea had long not experienced such changes.

"Mother, this energy fluctuation seems to come from the land’s Eternal Winter Empire." The young female with blue-purple curly hair swam over; she was none other than Eldest Princess Jatasha.

After establishing contact with the temple, they were even more convinced that something big enough to shock the entire continent was about to happen on land, immediately dispatching heavy troops for support.

Other nations also felt the energy impact, varying in magnitude.

They immediately convened a joint meeting, attempting to contact the high authorities of the Eternal Winter Empire. However, being a top-tier empire, it was as if the Eternal Winter Empire suddenly disappeared from the world, with all communications unanswered, as if there wasn’t a single living soul in the empire.

Everyone realized that the situation inside the Eternal Winter Empire was dire, so they all dispatched troops immediately.

...

Meanwhile, the battle within the Eternal Winter Empire had reached a fever pitch, with the scent of death and blood permeating the air. The pure white snow and glaciers were stained red with blood, covering countless distorted and horrifying remains.

As the Alien Star’s largest stronghold, the results they left here far surpassed the total of other places, further strengthened by the Blood Clan’s blood, making them nearly invincible.

Lin Xi initially thought he could easily take Shen Tang and the others down, but seeing the vast field of corpses, his face grew increasingly grim.

Unexpectedly, their strength was stronger than he imagined, having slaughtered nearly half the polluted species already!

Fortunately, Shen Tang and their strength had also been depleted considerably, their bodies covered in wounds, already at the end of their rope, destined to become his Taoist ghosts.

"Today is your death day."

Lin Xi sneered coldly, injecting a blood-colored syringe into his neck, his aura becoming deeper and more powerful, reaching an unimaginable level!

However, his body, unable to bear the overwhelming strength, was covered with bluish-purple veins, and his skin turned red, his face showing a painful expression.

Yet he didn’t care but fought tooth and nail.

The Ice Beasts also became more frenzied, starting to merge with those mutant species into even more terrifying monsters!

But just as these monsters intended to launch an attack, numerous fireballs suddenly streaked across the snowy sky like falling meteors, descending from above.

The Ice Beasts, upon touching the Fox Fire, let out mournful cries, their bodies beginning to melt.

This fire, is it the legendary Destructive Fire?

Lin Xi’s face changed dramatically when he saw the sudden appearance of the Fire Fox Beastman.

Ten fiery fox tails swung in the air, each strand seemingly laced with curling fire aura, and those aura seemed to instantly evaporate the surrounding blizzard. The snowflakes appeared to lessen, transforming into steaming mist.

Shen Li came to Shen Tang’s side, looking at her injuries, his heartache evident, "Sorry, Xiao Tang’er, I’m late."

The blizzard surged again, but this time it was aimed at Lin Xi’s side.

Equally powerful ice abilities surged forth, conjuring countless Ice Blades in the air, stabbing towards him.

Each bit of cold felt like the sharpest blade in existence, instantly piercing the polluted species’ lifelines, only allowing them to utter a short sharp scream before being frozen into ice sculptures, followed by multiple thunderous blasts that shattered the ice sculptures, leaving no trace of blood!

The Sea Race High Priest wearing a platinum divine robe also arrived.

The youth had shed his former immaturity, his icy blue eyes filled with majesty. Behind him were thousands of sea area warriors who came to support, surrounding the Imperial City of the Eternal Winter Empire.

More support troops from various places continued to arrive.

Shen Tang, in front of everyone, revealed the truth.

Everyone saw the current situation of the Eternal Winter Empire and naturally could guess what kind of genocidal disaster the empire had undergone. No matter how Lin Xi tried to divert attention, it was futile.

This battle was not only Shen Tang’s fight, nor just the Night Glow Empire’s fight, but a battle of the entire mainland against the Alien Star!

This is the very purpose of the Dawn Alliance’s existence!

All beastmen across this land would unite as one, fighting for the future!

As more countries joined the fray, the original advantage of the Eternal Winter Empire gradually diminished, with the tide of the battle turning once more, assuring Lin Xi’s ultimate defeat.

But just when the outcome was nearly sealed, the situation changed once again.

The sky seemed suddenly torn open with a huge rift, slowly revealing a giant pitch-black vortex.

Terrifying energy surged within that vortex, making it impossible for anyone to approach.

Within the vortex.

A void-like giant door appeared!

The system issued its most urgent warning yet,

[The Star Gate has appeared, the interdimensional portal is attempting to open! Host, please stop it immediately!]

Shen Tang was also stunned.

All the beastmen present looked at the suddenly appearing door in shock.

This is the legendary Star Gate!

The Star Gate was hidden within the Eternal Winter Empire’s palace!
