Star Gate

A tremendous explosion ripped through the air as a weapon appeared with the domineering presence of a Saint-level weapon!

“The Saint weapon has erupted with even more strength than usual!” exulted a brawny man in delighted surprise. “You well deserve your death, Li Hao!”

The speaker was one of the patriarchs of the eleven. He’d only wanted to beat back the young man. Who would’ve thought that his family’s ultimate weapon would suddenly awaken to much greater heights than it showed typically?

And why?

Under normal circumstances, these weapons were at most on par with six element Arcanus. But today, the patriarch vaguely sensed that this limitation had been broken. How would he not be ecstatic??

He’d been terrified to see the wandering cultivators spontaneously eliminated and the Lin family decimated in the blink of an eye. But now, he was very excited. Won’t I be eradicating the Skystar Commander Office once I kill all of these bastards? Then the City of Supernaturals will be mine!

Li Hao abruptly withdrew his domain of the five elements when the Saint weapon erupted, permitting an overbearing presence to drift out and sweep through the land. The space that it occupied immediately fractured.

Crunch!

A fissure appeared on the weapon; it was in the middle of excitedly flaring with energy, but began crumbling as the void cut it apart. Li Hao once more summoned the domain of the five elements to seal off the premises. The brawny man was shocked senseless by what was happening in front of him!

A flare of sword light rushed at the Saint weapon, destroying it with a crunch. Its fragments released a shadow that murmured with incomprehension and dejection, “Why… does the void only target me?”

It didn’t understand!

The shattering of the void should’ve encompassed everyone, why was the weapon the only party affected?

There was no time for explanation as the weapon broke apart and was swallowed by Stellaris. Li Hao shifted his feet and flashed forward, appearing in front of the man. He raised Stellaris high and brought it down!

Powerhouses in the plaza were caught in a flurry of wanting to run, roar with fury, or charge their attackers.

Bam!

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and all sorts of supernatural abilities erupted!

Rumble!

Sky Sword and the others made their moves, laying into the crowd around them and killing regular Arcanus with one stroke.

“Kill Li Hao!” someone yelled. “He’s sealed off the premises! Kill him and break the seal!”

“Kill!” shouted one of the patriarchs. Their family weapon hadn’t awoken to new heights, but it was as domineering as it usually was. He flung himself at Li Hao and even summoned a few plant spirit replicas into the air.

The faction representatives here as observers also made their move. At least thirty Arcanus rushed Li Hao!

Two figures of light and shadow appeared.

Boom!

Fist and palm met the attackers! A faint hue of energy wreathed Jiang Yingli and Li Shengzhang. Their strength was extraordinary as they blasted a plant spirit replica to pieces with one hit!

The crowd reeled with astonishment. What level of battle strength was this?? Even Lin Hongyu’s expression flickered with shock. So strong, and they didn’t seem to be alive! She could identify the three members that were seven element Arcanus, but she’d only seen five of the six elements so far.

A dog bayed with bloodlust as she wondered and transformed into a golden color to devour the world!

BOOM!

The weaklings in the air lost their footing and flew toward Panther’s mouth. The dog snuffed the life out of them with one crunch. Not only that, but it raised waves with the thrust of a paw and slapped another Arcanus to death!

Li Hao waved a jujube tree into existence. It erupted with the strength of nearly seven elements as soon as it appeared and devoured the closest plant spirit replica!

It was now that Lin Hongyu understood who the remaining six element Arcanus were. They were your typical supernaturals! She watched with a solemn expression, each person in Li Hao’s attack force seemed to rival her in terms of strength. The one with the golden armor traveled through the air, punching every single person he saw. Almost no one could withstand a single punch, whether they were Arcanus or other!

It was a massacre!

There were six element heavyweights in the crowd, some with origin weapons. However, their weapons were immediately destroyed by a sword and their wielders annihilated on the spot!

The powerhouses mobbing Li Hao were instantly obliterated. It’d been too long since the two puppets last fought, so they were uncommonly excited. Although they couldn’t utilize their core origin or secret arts, they were able to smash people to death simply through throwing their sturdy bodies at targets.

The Saint weapons struck the puppets at times, but only raised a shower of sparks and didn’t leave any marks.

“Hmph!” snorted Jiang Yingli. “The principal himself made this, how can the likes of you damage it?”

Although she was dead and only a puppet, these puppets had belonged to Evenround Martial back in the day. The principal himself had fashioned the four robot cats. How could these people that weren’t even Apex break the bodies?

She swung her paw and smashed the Saint weapon to pieces. This was no ambush, it was a massacre!

……

Lin Hongyu was so surprised that she’d long lost her composure. At the same time, she was also gratified that she’d chosen correctly. The shadow of a redwood tree appeared beside her, pulverizing a plant spirit’s replica as soon as it did so and devouring the remaining core origin power. It snuck a glance at Li Hao and heaved a sigh of relief to see the young man busy killing others.

To hell with everything! There were plenty of plant spirit replicas present. It would be a shame to not eat any. It hadn’t thought that the young man would be so ferocious as to kill so many in the blink of an eye.

“Li Hao!!” screamed an old man. “Are you going to kill all superhumans beneath the heavens?!”

At least forty Arcanus had died in a split second! That was unbelievable! Any sort of resistance was futile! Plant spirit replicas were obliterated, Saint weapons were shattered, and any sort of counterattack was ineffective.

This group of people was too strong.

“No, it’s that you don’t recognize the situation that you’re in!” Li Hao answered calmly. “I gave you a chance, you didn’t cherish it!”

“I surrender…”

Crunch!

The old man was promptly beheaded. What good was surrender for at this stage?

Li Hao hadn’t anticipated that his opponents would be so weak. Well, it wasn’t that they were weak, but that his side had grown stronger.

“Let’s go down with Li Hao!” someone roared and charged the young man.

“Mercy, Commander Li!” another person called out. “We’re from the Ministry of Administration and here to observe the proceedings. We’re not here to move against the Skystar Commander Office…”

Any protestations was useless! Only slaughter awaited them! Chen Zhongtian and Lin Hongyu struck, killing everyone they saw.

Six element Arcanus! Their targets were six or even seven elements. If the Arcanus Ranking was issued now, these people would absolutely enter the top twenty. They were formidable and overbearing!

Stellaris crushed Saint weapon after Saint weapon. Some weapons uttered a few curse words upon their deaths, others just outright broke apart without a disturbance. The massacre continued, but the number of people who resisted were fewer.

Up in the sky, plant spirit replicas broke one after another. The jujube tree, redwood tree, Panther, and Deputy Zhou focused their sights on these entities that they could absorb core origin from.

There was weak and strong among the plant spirit replicas. Some of the stronger ones were only close to Apex. They were all dead in the span of a breath and the four furiously absorbed as much as they could.

A bloody sheen crept into the curtain of light. Too many heavyweights had died!

Sky Sword and Hong Yitang combined their technique to deploy the stroke that overturned heaven and earth! No Arcanus was a match for them as even six elements fell as soon as they were hit!

It was so incredibly domineering that Lin Hongyu couldn’t believe her eyes! Their methods seemed to be neither a supernatural ability or a martial technique. What was this?

She had no time to think as an Arcanus sought to self-detonate with a loud roar. However, the two puppets easily stopped his actions.

All was quiet after ten minutes!

The difference in strength was too great. Although plenty of Arcanus were gathered on the spot, it took only one second for a second element Arcanus to die. Li Hao’s group, Lin Hongyu, and the Lin third elder were the only ones left alive in the city lord manner. The third elder was as pale as a sheet and he trembled like a leaf.

Although he was a four element Arcanus, he was so terrified out of his mind that it was like he’d come face-to-face with a ghost!

Was this the great City of Supernaturals?? The invincible City of Supernaturals had possessed nearly one hundred Arcanus a few minutes ago, but now they were all dead! Was this the city that wished to conquer the world?? The twelve aristocracies… were done for!

Lin Hongyu was very calm. She glanced at the third elder, then at the bodies piled on the floor. No one knew what was going through her mind, but she suddenly smiled and looked at the young man. “Congratulations to the commander!”

Li Hao looked back at her. This woman… was vicious enough! It was a trait he admired when it came to killing enemies. Being vicious was good. Hemming and hawing and indecision was the most irritating.

Sky Sword and the others crowded over. They looked silently at Lin Hongyu as well.

“They’ve all been taken care of…” A merry Deputy Zhou floated down.

“Make sure they’re dead, burn the bodies!” A gout of flame erupted from the air and immolated the corpses. A ghastly scream sounded before its owner perished!

Lin Hongyu and the rest raised an eyebrow. So someone was indeed playing dead; they hadn’t noticed. Li Hao was truly merciless!

The plaza was a sea of flames as the corpses turned into dust, leaving behind storage rings and some fragments of origin weapons. Li Hao smiled easily, then turned to the two plant replicas and Panther furiously devouring all the core origin energy they could access.

“This is just an appetizer, what are you guys in a rush for?” he laughed.

The three ignored him and continued absorbing everything. This was a rare opportunity! There might be a tough battle to come, so they needed to eat their fill first!

Lin Hongyu looked at them, then at the two puppets, and finally at Li Hao. “Does the commander really wish to march against the primary bodies of the plant spirits?”

“Of course!”

Lin Hongyu asked no further. She looked out over the empty plaza, mixed emotions assailing her. The City of Supernaturals… would be surnamed Li in the future. All of their ambitions had vanished upon the wind.

Well, that was... an easy slaughter.
