Chapter 1648: The Final Minute!
"Boom!"
The Star Jade around them erupted like war beasts, crushing the ground, with earth and dust swirling endlessly, the gigantic rumbling akin to a mountain collapsing.
The space surrounding Ji Tian and the others became increasingly constricted.
Ji Tian cast his gaze upwards, where a barrier made of Star Light seemed fragile.
"Everyone, heed my command, attack the top position together!"
Ji Tian wielded the Destruction Sword, transforming himself into a sharp blade, charging toward the top.
"Slash!"
With one sweep of his sword, dense sword light converged as if capable of cutting through everything.
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, when Ji Tian’s sword light touched the Star Barrier.
The Star Barrier suddenly exploded like a detonation, a terrifying star shockwave directly rushed at Ji Tian.
Ji Tian’s expression changed, quickly side-stepping to evade.
"Boom!"
The star shockwave grazed past Ji Tian dangerously, finally striking the ground, carving a massive crater, earth and sand scattering.
"The barrier can’t be broken!"
Ji Zhenghe’s face showed a hint of helpless pallor.
"Qin Ni is now trapped within the Quicksand Star River, we must break this array."
But Ji Tian was not entirely disheartened.
Once again, he charged towards the top.
The others, influenced by Ji Tian’s resilient will, gritted their teeth, followed him, attacking the top together.
Yet.
The result was devastating.
The more they attacked, not only did they fail to break the Star Barrier, but instead activated more and more star shockwaves.
Ji Tian’s powerful skills allowed him to evade.
But it was different for the others.
Bu Tianyi and Chen Jingyuan, with weaker strength, were gravely injured.
Just one impact from the star shockwave rendered them unable to stand, without the nearby assistance, the shockwave would likely have claimed their lives.
Only one minute remaining.
Except for Ji Tian, Ji Zhenghe and other strong individuals.
The rest were already stained entirely with blood, lying on the ground, faces pale, gazes somewhat hollow.
At this moment, their space for movement had become extremely small, all three hundred people huddled together like a refugee camp.
To prevent the star shockwaves from attacking the people, Ji Tian abandoned the idea of breaking the Star Barrier.
Outside, the rustling sound of the Quicksand Star River continued to whirl like a sandstorm.
"Only one minute remaining."
"A mere minute."
Ji Zhenghe let out a bitter smile: "It’s all too late."
"We’ve failed."
With those words spoken.
Like a giant hammer, it struck directly at everyone’s hearts, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble violently, suddenly feeling as if something very important was lost.
Faces filled with hopelessness!
The Star Spirit sat on the Star Throne, a smile on its face.
Although there were many unexpected occurrences throughout.
In the end, this group of people failed.
And it, would continue to rule over the Star Summoning Ancient Realm.
"Boom!"
Right then.
From within the Quicksand Star River, a blast sounded.
Soon after, a figure emerged from the Quicksand Star River.
His whole body wrapped in Star Light, eyes like two stars, dazzling beyond measure.
"How...is this possible?!"
The Star Spirit looked at the figure, its smile frozen on its face.
Trapped within the Star Killing Array, Ji Tian and others couldn’t see the situation outside, but hearing the Star Spirit’s startled cry, their hearts jolted.
Was it Qin Ni?
Qin Chen hovered above the Quicksand Star River.
At this moment, star power within the Quicksand Star River continued to flow into Qin Chen’s body like a river.
To be precise, it was flowing into Qin Chen’s Star Life Palace.
In fact.
Earlier, Qin Chen had been pondering how to escape the Quicksand Star River, ultimately awakening with realization.
The river contained such terrifying power of stars, why couldn’t he absorb this power and condense stars within his Star Life Palace?
Why couldn’t he break free from the Quicksand Star River?
Ultimately, it was due to strength!
As long as Qin Chen’s strength was sufficient, he could break free from the Quicksand Star River’s control.
Therefore, Qin Chen immediately abandoned the attempt to escape, instead frantically absorbing the immense star power within the Quicksand Star River.
In less than half a quarter, Qin Chen condensed fifteen stars.
Meaning, at this moment, the total number of stars within Qin Chen’s Star Life Palace had reached forty-eight.
Though Qin Chen anticipated the river’s star power to be fearsome, he hadn’t imagined it to be this overwhelming.
Fifteen stars, he didn’t know how many cultivation resources it would take to normally condense them.
Moreover, there was another point!
Qin Chen’s voracious absorption of the star power also weakened the Quicksand Star River’s power!
Thus, Qin Chen could break through the river with the last remaining minute.
He had no time to waste words with the Star Spirit.
"Shadowless Traceless!"
Qin Chen’s body vanished from sight, not even leaving a trail, his speed astonishing, rushing toward the Star Spirit.
The Star Spirit didn’t comprehend how Qin Chen escaped the river.
But upon seeing him charge, it suddenly roared: "Guardian Star Child, kill him for me!"
The two Guardian Star Children, like lifeless beings.
Upon hearing the Star Spirit’s command, they awoke suddenly.
Their emotionless gray eyes locked onto Qin Chen, the next moment emitting eerie green light, charging towards him.
"Firmament Battle Armor!"
Every second was extremely precious.
Qin Chen donned the Firmament Battle Armor, at the same time, telekinesis, physical body power, and the power of forty-eight stars erupted.
He spared nothing!
"Crack!"
The void shook from Qin Chen’s unleashed aura, cracking like spiders’ webs, as if about to shatter.
The two Guardian Star Children, one left and one behind, their wooden arms emanated green light.
With his eye power, Qin Chen could see the green light was a toxin, likely to corrode flesh if touched.
But at this moment, there was no time to maneuver.
"Desolate Realm!"
Qin Chen raised his hand, slashing with Heaven and Earth Creation, a massive blade light so terrifying even Ji Tian and the others inside the array could see it.
"Could it be, there’s still hope?"
Ji Zhenghe’s heart trembled.
"Half a minute left! Even less than that! Is there still time?"
Ji Tian and the others crowded together now, the space incredibly small.
Time, overwhelmingly tight!
"There must be time! There must be time!"
"Even Zhang Tian fell at our hands, what isn’t possible?"
Someone shouted loudly.
But it ignited a passion within all present.
Everyone clenched their fists, their faces tense.
The final half minute!
"Qin Ni...we’re counting on you!" Ji Tian declared resolutely.
