Tempest of the Stellar War-Chapter 1416: Lie Family’s Elegy

At this time, a patch of darkness approached Lie Shuangtian from behind. Shelley Ritter saw it, but Boloni was blocking in front of him.

The Solar System had miscalculated. The Darkness Empire had not simply sent a fleet over, but a third Heaven-rank as well.

Most Heaven-ranks would fight openly, in a one versus one match. Unluckily, the Darkness Empire’s Heaven-ranks did not have such a practice.

The four of them had been battling for a while. To be able to hide for so long against the senses of Heaven-ranks, and to strike when Lie Shuangtian unleashed his ultimate attack, this ability had to surpass theirs. Not only that, this was a Heaven-rank that specialized in assassination.

Darkness shrouded Lie Shuangtian. The fight with Zar has captured most of his attention. Darkness silently crept in and invaded his flame soul body, which was his life energy. For Lie Shuangtian, before he depleted his life force, he was invincible and indestructible – the universal body. However, this was not the case.

The darkness was destroying his domain, and he did not know where his opponent was located.

Lie Shuangtian knew that this would eventually lead to a problem. As the Lie family’s pride and the pillar of the family, he made a heroic decision.

Self-immolation!

Zar’s imprisonment, the invasion by darkness, this was clearly set up by the coalition forces.

Lie Shuangtian’s body grew brighter, and the darkness that had invaded retreated. Zar’s expression changed. With a line up like this, they did not come here to die.

The body headed towards the void, and the darkness which shrouded the area receded as well. Lie Shuangtian was finished. As long as they retreated safely, it was their win.

Lie Shuangtian’s life was like a lamp, from extreme brightness to extinguishing immediately, and it did not seem to have any impact on space itself. However, everyone, including Drachmach, left the area quickly.

A few seconds later, space had a shocking phenomenon. Red waves exploded and spread throughout the area.

Almost in an instant, space broke apart. Zar vomited out blood, and he began to escape from the waves quickly. Even the darkness, which could not be seen, had a reaction, showing a tinge of red. Then the darkness quickly left. Shelley Ritter and Boloni were considered to be far from the area, but they had been prepared. Hence, they ran the fastest, yet they received the impact from the waves. This explosion had blasted into subspace, so distance could only reduce its impact. Both of them had full defense, but soon, their expressions were pale.

The Lie Flame Technique was indeed the fiercest in the ancient arts era, and in Heaven-rank, this was pushed to the limit, unleashing the true heavenly blaze.

The wave of flames continued for a while. Zar had suffered the most damage, and appeared after a while. Receiving it head-on had caused his body to be heavily damaged, and even with the inner universe, he would need a few years to fully recover. Right now he could only suppress it.

Not far from him was a patch of human-like darkness – it was unclear. However, you could tell that the body had received damage as well. Boloni’s expression was unnatural. He had sustained injuries as well. He could only lightly sigh, as Shelley Ritter had escaped.

He did not chase after her. Lie Shuangtian’s decisiveness and strength were surprising. The price to pay to keep Shelley Ritter here was too high – one death and one injured. The power of Solar System’s Heaven-ranks was no longer there.

Silence fell over the Solar System’s command center when they received the news. Their hearts sank. This was what they were most worried about – the Darkness Empire sending out a Heaven-rank warrior. While the Darkness Empire had taken down the Fairy Star, it was said that they had suffered quite a bit for it. who knew that they still had the strength to do this.

Drachmach could not let himself remain down. He knew in his heart that the Solar System had lost, and Meng Ao and Lie Wuqing knew this as well. Lie Shuangtian’s death was a huge blow to Mars as well, but at this time, the Martians had no choice. In times of crisis, the Martians were indeed no pushovers.

While the main battlefield remained a tough fight, from the reactions from other battlefields, the Solar System was no longer able to defend itself. Who would have known that the “cannon fodder” led by Qiang Sen would have held back the Darkness Empire’s fleet. If not for him, the collapse of the Solar System’s fleet would have been faster. The mobility of this fleet was beyond imagination, they had rich battle experience, and Qiang Sen’s commanding capabilities was shocking as well.

However, Drachmach knew that this battle could no longer continue. With Lie Shuangtian’s death, the fixed. Now, there was an opportunity – the enemy’s Heaven-ranks were injured, and normally, Heaven-rank warriors would not go into battle injured, as they were not easily injured. The moment they were injured, it would not be easy to recover. Hence, they had to grab hold of this opportunity.

Drachmach quickly reached a consensus with Meng Ao and Lie Wushuang, to leave the rearguard and gradually retreat from the battlefield. They needed to pay the price when necessary.

On the main battlefield, Zhang Yunfeng’s seventh fleet was depressed. They were originally putting on a show, but, expectedly, an enemy’s planetary-level ship exploded. This resulted in reinforcements from the Maacah Republic coming, leading to a real fight.

This was something Zhang Yunfeng would have never thought possible. Why would the enemy’s main battleship explode out of nowhere?

The act turning into a real fight was what caused Zhang Yunfeng a headache. At this point in time, he had to retaliate. By the time he explained himself, there would be nothing left of the seventh fleet.

Zhang Shan was satisfied with his plan. He had used teleportation the moment his mech was sliced in half and teleported into the enemy’s cockpit. He then proceeded to pretend to be the enemy. Using a Maacah Republic mech made it easier to sneak into the enemy’s fleet, and since both fleets were putting on an act, the enemy was careless. With Zhang Shan’s ability and spatial Ability X, once in the battleship, he did not waste time fighting the warriors in the battleship, but instead caused an explosion in the engine room and then left using teleportation.

After completing a round of attack, he left immediately, he did not want to be surrounded. The weird tempo of the battle left Zhang Shan speechless. He did not know what they were fighting.

Allen Porter did not let go of the chance. He led the fleet to chase after them, destroying the Solar System’s rearguard, and the fleet entered the Solar System. The Solar System’s fleet continued to retreat, suffering heavy losses, up till they reached Saturn’s vicinity, where Saturn’s defense formation blocked the enemy’s advancement and gave the fleet a breather. However, the Solar System was now wide open, and they had suffered a loss of sixty percent, while the Maacah coalition forces had suffered a loss of at most thirty percent. With one Heaven-rank warrior dead and one injured, they had lost the initiative. The leaders of the Solar System were vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks, and they would definitely die unless they were well hidden.

However, for Allen Porter, there was no need for that. There was no longer anyone worth killing in the Solar System. At this step, the mission of the Heaven-rank warriors had been accomplished, so there was no point in taking such a risk. All that was left was to reorganize for the next attack. Saturn’s defense is the last line of defense for the Solar System. Once broken through, the next step was landing on the three major planets. For this, the Norton Star and the Ghana Star would be able to fully show off their strength.
