Chapter 760: Demon Shadow (Part II)

The lethality of that strange black light is terrifying! It's just a few breaths. The star defense system near the ancient wormhole, along with the officers and soldiers of the more than a million fleets, is completely dead! Even in the Ability Legion, those powerhouses with demigod strength only lasted less than ten seconds before the black light invaded their bodies, and their source energy was plundered!

Strangely, the lethality of the aura is limited to living individuals! For those base fortresses, turrets, warships and other complex and sophisticated war machines, there is no impact in the slightest!

After all the people died, the central optical brain system with high-end autonomous intelligence in the main base immediately took over the control authority in accordance with the predetermined emergency handling procedures, and began to assume the responsibility of maintaining the normal operation of the base.

The asteroid, which was thousands of kilometers in diameter and shrouded in heavy black clouds, stopped outside the wormhole, and there was no further reaction, and I don't know what it was waiting for!

Inside the planet, in a strangely styled temple in the center, there are several mysterious and unpredictable auras faintly lurking!

The main hall is thousands of meters in circumference, and the four walls of the hall are inlaid with countless colorful diamond-shaped crystals!

Crystals seem to be an unknown form of life, as can be seen from the fact that they move their positions from time to time according to a certain law, and every time their position changes, the brilliance of the crystal itself will also change brightly and darkly! Thousands of crystals, just like that, move tirelessly.

Countless bizarre three-dimensional patterns are refracted from the crystal, and the images inside are also constantly changing. It's like a movie, but there is no audience to enjoy it.

A large number of purple balls of light with a diameter of meters were suspended in the air, and the purple light with a trace of heat shrouded the entire hall in a mysterious purple light.

The main hall is based on a purple-gold crystal floor, and in the center of the hall, on hundreds of steps, is a circular high platform, which is placed in a ring with nine thrones composed of purple crystals, of which there are six thrones, each sitting a tall crystal creature.

The creature resembles a humanoid, with a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a thumb embedded in its body, and an unknown amount of juice flowing from it. On the head of the creature, wearing a strange crystal ornament, the eyes are two narrow red essences, a large mouth, the corners of the mouth almost reach the root of the ear, inadvertently opening and closing, you can see the dense sharp teeth in the mouth, flashing with a penetrating cold light!

The creature had many thick whiskers on its hands, thighs, and waists, and the largest ones spread out of the throne like giant pythons, lying lazily on the crystal floor!

If there are high-ranking people of the empire who participated in the great war a few years ago, it can be seen that it is the legendary existence at the peak of the power pyramid of this intelligent civilization that the Borosto captives said: the Crystal Emperor!

Individuals of Borosto are born in a standard carbon-based form, relying on absorbing energy crystals from the ground to strengthen themselves, and when their strength grows to a certain level, they enter a period of dormancy, which they themselves call "metamorphosis". After the transformation, their strength will be greatly improved!

Every time they metamorphose, a part of their body tissue will be siliconized and become a crystal-like existence! The more times you transform, the higher the degree of crystallization, and the stronger your power will be! Until the end, the tissues of the whole body are turned into crystals, becoming a crystal person! Strength at its peak!

In the entire empire, there are nine powerful crystal people who have reached this perfect form, with the supreme title of "Crystal Emperor", and they jointly control the supreme power of this super empire!

However, now, on the nine thrones, there are only six Crystal Emperors, and the remaining three are gone! And even the rest of them don't look much better!

The surface of their dark purple crystalline bodies was somehow covered with a faint layer of black mist-like things, and even the coercion they exerted dropped by a level!

The black mist escapes from the inside of the body, and the wisps of mist continue to emit out, forming such a scene in the surroundings!

In the center of the circle opposite the nine thrones, there stood a huge colorless crystal a hundred meters high!

The crystal surface, which was originally smooth and smooth as a mirror, is now covered with countless dendritic cracks, and in some places there is an unknown purple-red liquid flowing from it, which looks shocking! At the bottom of the crystal was a cluster of dark purple flames that were faint to the extreme, and could be extinguished at any moment!

Inside the crystal, there was a faint purple-black phantom, which was curled up in a ball at this time, dormant in a relatively intact area, motionless.

In a few moments, not far above their heads, a temporary spatial passage with a diameter of about half a meter appeared silently, and the crimson blood gushed out in a steady stream with an extremely rich breath of life! Then it was automatically divided into seven strands, and they were put into the six crystal emperors and the phantom in that crystal!

With the continuous infusion of a large amount of life essence, the black mist around the Crystal Emperors' bodies dimmed a little, and there was a faint tendency to dissipate! The phantom in the crystal has grown a lot, and even the flames on the ground have begun to become vigorous.

The Crystal Emperors sat quietly in their positions, silently digesting the spoils, and did not speak, and there was silence in the hall!

"Let's ...... Finally escaped! ”

After a long time, a dark owl's voice was the first to break the silence.

"Yes! But my dear brothers, three have fallen! Another deep voice rang out, "And the most important holy place of our tribe has now fallen into the hands of those demons!" ”

The third voice sighed bitterly:

"Our most important lineage is now gone! Among them, there are several powerful beings with extraordinary potential, who are expected to be promoted to the Crystal Emperor realm within the next 10,000 years! It was buried in the hands of those demons! ”

"Since the war with the Ancient Protoss, our Race has never suffered such heavy losses! This is too much harm to our people! ”

"Your Excellency High Priest Yanamunk, you are the oldest and wisest of our people! What do you think about what we're going to do next? A Crystal Emperor asked.

The purple-black phantom shrunk in the depths of the crystal moved, and a spiritual fluctuation came out:

"Our territory can't go back now! The demons are entrenched there, and in order to leave a glimmer of life for those clansmen who are hiding in the sacrificial temple to perform the transformation ritual, we can only wander outside now, and by the way, find a way to regain our strength! ”

"Honorable High Priest, it stands to reason that I should not question your wisdom! However, as the great Crystal Emperor of the Empire, when his own people were facing a great crisis, he didn't care, whether it was a bit ...... to do this," a Crystal Emperor asked hesitantly.

High Priest Yanamunk sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty the Reteslaqi Emperor, such an approach is indeed not in line with the traditions of our clan!" But this is a stopgap measure as a last resort! We don't have enough strength now, so we can only endure it! ”

The Crystal Emperors were silent! With their strength, although they have already stood at the pinnacle of the entire Borosto Empire and even the Vast Celestial Galaxy, when facing the demons from the depths of the Endless Star Sea, their proud power has hardly been of much use, and they are defeated in embarrassment! Three Crystal Emperors have also fallen!

In addition, there are also a large number of descendants and elites who have all fallen! Even the Holy Land Star Field, where the Crystal Emperors have been living, is also occupied by demons!

The remaining six Crystal Emperors and the High Priest saw the opportunity quickly, fought their way out of the siege early, and after a desperate battle with the chasing demons, they finally escaped from this galaxy that had been shrouded in death!

The high priest of Yanamunk said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are my dearest brothers, the last hope of our people! It should be understood that we are now facing a difficult situation! The most important thing for us now is to restore our strength! Only then can you think about others! ”

"Just now, after we absorbed the essence of those human beings, your injuries have been alleviated! Therefore, I propose to continue to plunder more humans to participate in the blood sacrifice in exchange for a rapid and steady increase in our power! ”

Another Crystal Emperor spoke, "Your Excellency, High Priest, your proposal is reasonable! However, based on the results fed back by our instruments and our induction, it can be determined that there is no such thing as a human race within a radius of tens of thousands of light years!

Therefore, if we want to find enough advanced life energy to repair our injuries, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do it in the short term! ”

"Nope! You're wrong! The High Priest said slowly, "Through the interrogation of the people of that traitor tribe, it has been revealed that the so-called human world is a vast territory of millions of light years!" There are trillions of individuals living there! Their settlement should be in this starry sky, as long as we hide our whereabouts, find them, and try to kill enough humans, with the help of their life energy essence, we can really recover our strength in a short period of time! ”――

When this catastrophic news reached the Tianhua Star Field, it was the night time of the Third Planet.

In Yun Yingxue's dormitory, His Majesty the Emperor, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up in a hurry, and immediately, an emergency message was sent to all the important ministers' mansions.

At the top-secret military meeting, through the video images automatically transmitted back from the fortress, the top officials of the empire have understood the details of the situation near the ancient wormhole, and then they have to start discussing specific countermeasures!

Yang Wentao was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that the empire should immediately revise the established unified strategic plan and deal with this issue as a priority! Only by successfully solving it can we ensure that the great cause of the empire will not be affected! ”

"Sounds reasonable!" Su Shangqing said, "But now several major alien civilizations are eyeing each other, and a big war is about to break out!" Even if we don't want to fight, they may not agree! At that time, the empire will have to face a situation of fighting on two fronts, what should we do? ”
