The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1060: Fear 1

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Swords Apocalypse fell upon the city and everyone inside it. The devils' defense formation was useless against it, as it was destroyed the moment the rain of swords pierced their defense.

The manifestation of the shield above their formation shattered, and the golden swords destroyed everything beneath it.

"Uwagh!"

"Escape! Escape! Uwagh!"

"Nooo!"

"Take cover, aghhh!"

Voices filled with chaos, panic, and despair resounded everywhere. The swords killed anyone without caring about their cultivation levels. The swords also broke the chains connected to Aldrian's barrier, which caused the ones wrapped around the barrier to loosen and fall to the ground.

The higher-ups beside Alicia tried to evade the swords using their movement techniques.

The succubi used their agile movements and sharp perception to evade the swords.

The vampires turned themselves into blood mist so their bodies could not be attacked by the swords.

Among the humans, there were also those who could use teleportation to evade the swords. The others relied on their own elemental comprehension.

However, because the swords were countless and the distance between them was extremely close, it was very difficult to completely evade all of them.

Moreover, each of the golden swords contained the incredible power of a peak pseudo-immortal stage, and all of them carried Aldrian's comprehension of various laws. They were not merely normal sword manifestations.

They could pierce things that could not normally be touched, such as mist. The vampires who turned themselves into mist were still being pierced. Although the swords passed through the mist, they were actually injuring them.

"Aahhgg!"

Some of the swords pierced the mist, and parts of the mist reverted into limbs as some of their limbs were severed.

Their speed was also something not easy to evade, as it was an attack even peak pseudo-immortal stage cultivators found difficult to avoid.

The one who tried to use teleportation was also pierced, which caused his arm to be severed, as the swords were piercing space itself, creating disruption in his teleportation.

Not all of them ended up merely with severed limbs. Some had their lives ended as the swords pierced their bodies mercilessly. They could not evade the swords, which caused the blades to strike the vital parts of their bodies. The two succubi and the remaining humans had their bodies destroyed.

The swords passed through their bodies, and it was as if they exploded from the inside. Those pierced in the head had their heads destroyed. Those pierced in the torso had their upper bodies completely obliterated, leaving only their heads, arms, and lower bodies.

Alicia was the only one who did not move and could only watch the destruction happening before her eyes. Her body was surrounded by a visible barrier that could not be pierced even by countless swords.

The barrier kept being attacked, but the swords could not pierce it and were instead destroyed upon contact.

She had already retracted her chains technique as it had been destroyed by the rain of swords.

Her eyes watched her troops being obliterated everywhere, yet she showed no expression other than a blank look. She was not worried about herself, as she had already crushed the special defensive talisman given to her by Vampire King.

But for the others, they were truly powerless. They could only try to escape from the killing zone, something already extremely difficult to accomplish. Only screams filled with despair and panic could be heard.

The city, already badly damaged, was being destroyed even further. The main sect's building beneath her was also collapsing.

Alicia's eyes then turned toward Aldrian. She could see his gaze, still calm. He looked completely normal despite unleashing a technique that, to her, could only be described as impossible.

Forget about the energy required to unleash such a technique. How could he create countless swords, each possessing the power of a peak pseudo-immortal stage cultivator? How could he manifest so many and control all of them at once?

Was Aldrian an immortal?

She gritted her teeth inwardly. Her amusement from earlier disappeared. Although she still wanted to subdue Aldrian and make him her toy, there was no more joking. She would become serious.

As the barrier continued to protect her, she flew closer to Aldrian.

Aldrian, seeing that Alicia was not affected by the Swords Apocalypse, felt impressed by the defensive talisman. It was the same kind of barrier the Vampire King and some of his subordinates had used in the past when they tried to defend themselves from the black hole's sucking force.

For Alicia to also possess one, it seemed the Vampire King had given her one as well.

He looked at Alicia approaching him with a serious expression. The Swords Apocalypse had already ended, as the swords falling from the sky had finally run out.

As Alicia drew closer, she activated her domain. The domain instantly covered Aldrian and the vessel. The domain carried a pink atmosphere, and the moment Aldrian entered it, he could feel his libido rising.

Everyone inside the vessel suddenly felt aroused, which made them surprised and confused. They suddenly wanted to have sex with someone. No matter whether men or women, if there was a member of the opposite sex near them, they felt an overwhelming urge to have sex with them.

Aldrian, who became the focus of Alicia's power, fell into an illusion when he suddenly saw Alicia standing before him completely naked. Her charm rose to the extreme within this domain, and if anyone else were in Aldrian's position, they would instantly pounce on Alicia and begin to fuck her.

Combined with the irresistible libido caused by the domain, that would be the only thing they could do. They would end up losing themselves to desire without realizing that their lives were already in Alicia's palm.

Alicia moved toward Aldrian with sensual expressions and movements meant to entice him. To be honest, she was surprised that he did not immediately pounce on her even after several seconds trapped inside her illusion.

She only saw his gaze looking at her as if she were merely a normal woman, someone not worthy of desire. Although she could feel that his body reacted to her domain and was aroused, his expression showed no interest in her.

'What a stubborn man. Well, let's see how long you can resist my sexual charm,' she thought.

She was already in front of him and tried to touch his face, but before she could do so, she suddenly appeared in a different place. Aldrian also disappeared from where he had stood, which shocked her because of the sudden change.

She quickly looked at her surroundings with a solemn expression. She was in space, as countless stars could be seen in the far distance.

'Is this an illusion? But how could he trap me inside an illusion when he himself had already been inside my illusion strengthened by my domain?' she thought.

"You are a powerful succubus, I will give you that. You even dared to enter my consciousness and directly affect my subconscious," Aldrian's voice resounded across space.

"And it looks like you have also received the Vampire King's favor, since you possess the same defensive talisman as that guy."

Alicia was astonished once more because Aldrian spoke about the Vampire King so casually.

Her expression finally turned angry as she looked around.

"Who are you?! How do you know about His Majesty?!"

"How could I not know him when I am the one who killed him? Do not even think about waiting for him anymore. He will not come to save you or the devils in this world or anywhere else," Aldrian replied, giving Alicia another shock, one even more intense than before.

The Vampire King was dead? He was dead? One of the four overlords who ruled the central region of Heaven was dead?

Alicia's expression turned ugly as she glared furiously at her surroundings.

"You are lying! There is no way His Majesty was killed! There is no way—!" Suddenly, within her vision, she saw the Vampire King's terrifying condition. The sight of him after the black hole's supernova appeared before her, followed by the moment of his death as Aldrian burned him with black flames.

Her expression still showed disbelief as she shouted into the endless space.

"I don't believe it!"

Her aura burst outward violently, and her body transformed into her devil form.

Her skin turned red, and succubus horns and a tail appeared. A pair of wings emerged from her lower back, and her nails lengthened into sharp claws.

In this form, she changed from beautiful and seductive into a true demonic temptress. She remained beautiful and alluring in her own way, but the combination of her succubus nature and devilish features made her exude a different kind of sexual charm.

She was a deadly seductress.

"Break!" she roared as she clasped her hands, attempting to escape the illusion. However, she saw no change at all, which made her expression grow even angrier.

"Aldrian, show yourself!" she roared, but then she froze when she suddenly felt chills deep within her soul. Her body stiffened, and sweat rolled down from her forehead.

For the first time in a long while, a feeling resurfaced in her heart. A feeling she had long forgotten.

Fear.

She felt fear.

She tried to understand why she suddenly felt fear as she turned her head toward the source she could sense. She slowly lifted her head, and what she saw caused her soul to shake.

She saw Aldrian's enormous figure. His size alone was larger than an entire galaxy. She did not know why, but she felt as if even the entire heavens rested within his grasp.

The only thing that appeared in her mind the moment she saw him was…despair.

"You are brave to invade my consciousness and try to trap me in your illusion. Now be gone," Aldrian said in an authoritative tone.

With only those words, Alicia's figure completely disappeared from the space, fear clearly visible in her gaze.
