Lin Qingfei said disdainfully from above him, "I'm just that strong, what's wrong with that?"
Wang Batian knew he had no chance of winning; he was no match for their strength, and their sharp claws could kill him in one move.
There's no other way. If we can't kill Lin Qing today, then he'll be the only one who dies here.
He absolutely cannot die here. With the existence of the metal sphere, he will definitely become the strongest boss in the heavens. How could he possibly die here?
Wang Batian stopped thinking about his mount; he was going to die any later, and his life was more important than anything else.
Wang Batian said, enunciating each word clearly, "You forced me to do this."
"Overlord, fire the Star Destroyer Cannon and blast Sky Blue Star to smithereens!"
Then a voice came out, which Lin Qing could hear with his hearing.
"Command received. The maximum range of the Star Destroyer is one light-year. It will take ten minutes to reach the designated range."
This order reached hundreds of billions of people, who were all terrified. It was a planet-destroying cannon!
That's a planet-destroying cannon. One shot and the entire planet is gone, and billions of people on the home planet will perish.
In particular, everyone on the home planet heard it. Ten minutes was enough time for those high-ranking officials to escape in their spaceships, but how many high-ranking officials were there, and how many civilians were there?
Your Majesty, no, it cannot be done.
We will all die, billions of us.
Why did you issue this order, Your Majesty?
Cries, shouts, and sobs echoed across the entire home planet.
Lin Qing was terrified. A planet-destroying cannon? That would definitely kill him. Lin Qing dared not use his physical body to fight against a weapon capable of destroying a planet.
However, I also admire Wang Batian's ruthlessness; he gave up on billions of lives on a planet just like that.
If Lin Qing can escape in ten minutes, what about Wang Batian? Can he escape too?
Lin Qing scoffed, "Wang Batian, are you out of your mind? Do you think I can't get into the spatial portal in ten minutes?"
Wang Batian: "Haha, a spatial portal? You think I don't know? You probably can't open a spatial portal freely."
"I'll destroy the portal and see where you hide. As for me, heh, who doesn't have something to save their life?"
Wang Batian learned about the structure of the space gate through the metal ball and deduced that Lin Qing would definitely not be able to open it in a short time after the space gate was destroyed. Ten minutes later, a planet-destroying cannon was fired to send Lin Qing into the sky.
Immediately, dark clouds filled the sky, and countless bolts of lightning struck the portal—one, ten, a hundred—but nothing happened.
A thousand paths, ten thousand paths, a hundred thousand paths, no big problem.
Millions, even tens of millions of lightning bolts struck down, and the entire world was devoid of any other color except for white light.
The whole world was devoid of color except for the sound of thunder.
"Bang!" Four massive devices in outer space exploded, severely overloaded.
Wang Batian didn't care. All the lightning on the planet struck the space gate, and Lin Qing didn't even have time to use his dragon horns to absorb the lightning.
It's possible that Wang Batian knew that ordinary lightning was useless against Lin Qing. Although the quantity was high, the quality was insufficient, so he only went to destroy the spatial gate.
Just like in the old MapleStory games, low-level characters don't lose a single point of health when fighting high-level monsters; instead, they lose all their health.
The roaring sound disappeared, the white light faded, and the portal vanished, leaving only a huge, charred crater created by the lightning strike.
Lin Qing: "Holy crap, the portal just disappeared like that?"
Lin Qing is now anxious. He has no chance of escaping under the planet-destroying cannon, and he hasn't completed his mission, so there's no way he can travel to the next world.
But then I thought, maybe the system can open a portal to let him return to the world of Jade Dynasty.
But it's better to ask anyway: "System, can you open a portal to let me return to the world of Jade Dynasty?"
System: "There are about seven thousand strands of soul left. We need another three thousand strands of soul to open the spatial gate."
"However, Wang Batian himself trampled and killed thousands of people earlier, so the souls have been collected and the spatial gate can be opened at any time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing immediately calmed down. "I can leave anytime. You're telling me I'll die? You must be dreaming."
Wang Batian smiled sinisterly, put away his Dharma form and returned to its original size, then took out a small metal ball, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into it.
Wang Batian: "Transmigrate to the first instance world."
Lin Qing stared in horror at the scene: "It's over. It seems that the small metal ball is the system-like entity that helped Wang Batian travel through time."
"It seems like the mystery gift package is out of the question, but the main quest might still be possible to complete."
A familiar spatial force appeared on Wang Batian's body. Yes, Wang Batian was about to travel through worlds.
Helpless, Lin Qing could only watch Wang Batian escape. With a sigh, Lin Qing prepared to call the system to open the spatial portal.
Suddenly, Lin Qing sensed that the power of that space had disappeared. Just as he was wondering what was going on, the system spoke up.
System: "This system has stopped the power of the metal ball. You only have one minute. Please grab the metal ball as soon as possible."
"59, 58, 57, 56"
"Damn it, system, why didn't you say so earlier?" Before he could even complain, he slammed his tail at Wang Batian, who looked like an ant.
The latter was completely unaware of the attack from the sky, because he was still in a daze.
"What's going on? Time travel?" Half a minute passed, and Wang Batian was still in the same spot.
"Warning, warning, interference from an unknown force, crossing failed, crossing failed."
"Warning, warning, interference from an unknown force, crossing failed, crossing failed."
Chapter 201 Hello, Little Emperor! (Please subscribe, recommend, and vote for monthly tickets)
The metal ball kept repeating this sentence.
"Damn it, what unknown power? What unknown force?"
"boom!"
Lin Qing's attack crashed down, causing the mountains to collapse and the earth to split, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Sensing that Wang Batian was now on the verge of death, Lin Qing immediately transformed back into human form and landed in the crevice.
Wang Batian tremblingly pointed at Lin Qing and said weakly, "You, it must have been you who interfered with my journey through the world."
After saying that, he lowered his hand. He no longer had the strength to raise his hand, but his vicious eyes looked at Lin Qing like a venomous snake.
The system's voice even carried a hint of anxiety: "Host, quick, grab the metal ball, it's about to escape."
The next moment, a small metal ball flew out of Wang Batian's hand: "Mission to erode the world of Zhuxian failed. Annihilation."
A bolt of purplish-black lightning was brewing in the air, and the small metal sphere began to glow.
"Unknown force interfered, world crossing failed, beep! Increase energy output, crossing in five seconds. 5, 4,"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qing grabbed the small metal ball that was flying into the sky when the countdown reached 2.
The moment Lin Qing touched it again, the metal ball seemed to lose its power and turned into an ordinary ball.
The countdown ended, and the purple lightning in the sky disappeared as well. Lin Qing looked at the small ball in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly descended.
System: "The metal sphere has been successfully recovered. It will take ten years to absorb it. Please wait patiently, host."
"Ding! Main quest 1 is complete. The quest reward will be distributed in ten years. Please wait patiently."
"The portal has been opened and will last for five minutes. Please return to the world of Jade Dynasty as soon as possible."
Lin Qing: "Ten years? Are you kidding me?"
However, the system also fell silent, leaving Lin Qing with no other choice but to accept it.
Remembering that the planet-destroying cannon would be firing in five minutes, he immediately squatted down next to Wang Batian.
Lin Qing: "Hehe, I'll take your metal ball. See that door? It will allow me to return to the world of Jade Dynasty."
Wang Batian: "Cough cough, you damned beast."
Lin Qing looked at Wang Batian, then suddenly extended a sharp claw at him: "You've seen it too, the Star Destroyer Cannon definitely can't kill me, you can stop firing the Star Destroyer Cannon now."
Although they are enemies, those are billions of lives, and Lin Qing might even gain countless luck points.
Wang Batian spat out a mouthful of blood with his remaining strength: "Pah, don't even think about it. Why is it that I, the emperor, don't feel sorry for you, but you, a beast from another world, do?"
Lin Qing wasn't angry: "If you don't lift the order, then I'll just turn you into a eunuch, as I said before."
Wang Batian laughed loudly and said, "I'm going to die anyway, so becoming a eunuch is fine. It's all the same whether I die or not."
"However, if you swear to the heavens and your inner demons that you will return the metal ball to me and leave this place, I will lift the order. There are 2 minutes left."
Lin Qing: "You're overthinking it. I just wanted to save you if I could. Since you're so stubborn, I won't be polite."
The sharp claws slashed across Wang Batian's body, and a bloody mess rolled off.
Wang Batian screamed in agony, "Ah, my dragon root, my dragon root!"
Seeing that there was only one minute left, he prepared to kill Wang Batian, and his claws reached for Wang Batian's neck.
Wang Batian, enduring excruciating pain, begged for mercy: "Wait, don't kill me. I'll lift the order, as long as you swear you won't kill me."
Wang Batian's only thought now is to survive. Although his dragon root is severed, he still has the Primordial Golden Body Technique, which he can use again once it's restored.
As for the metal ball, forget about it. With this technique, I can live for several thousand years. If I'm lucky enough to break through, I might even live for tens of thousands of years.
Lin Qing paused for a moment when he heard him want to rescind the order, and then the next second he slashed across Wang Batian's head.
Wang Batian, the legendary figure of the Mingyu Empire and the supreme ruler of hundreds of inhabited planets, died here.
Lin Qing then waved his hand to collect the corpse of Wang Batian, and immediately entered the spatial gate, which then disappeared.
After entering the spatial portal, Lin Qing turned around and glanced at himself: "Did I forget to do something? Oh well, I'm already back."
Ten seconds later, an exceptionally large beam of light came from outer space and pierced through the Blue Star, which then exploded into countless fragments.
The numerous members of the royal family and ministers who had previously escaped on the spaceship were now staring in horror at the now fragmented Azure Star.
However, the next second, all the princes began to fight for power and the throne. In the end, among the dozens of princes on the royal spaceship, the third prince stood out.
With the support of his subordinates, he slaughtered all the remaining princes and their descendants.
Wang Long: "Father, don't kill these beautiful cousins and aunts, leave them to me, hehe."
