The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Shattering Worldviews

When He Chuan stepped outside and stopped in the open space at the dock, looking up at the battle above the sky, Ji You and the others realized there was no accompanying entourage for the Marshal.

Front, back, left, right...

Ji You and the others looked all around and truly found only the Marshal alone.

The Bee Queen was dead, and the giant Black Thorn Beasts outside were in complete chaos, each fighting independently without the previous order and discipline. Ye Liqiang and the other warriors who still had combat power chose to unite and eliminate them one by one.

But the scattered swarm of Black Thorn Bees also posed a great threat and danger. They were all at level 4 or higher, with some even at level 6. Ants can bite an elephant to death, especially when these ants are the size of elephants. Ye Liqiang and the others found it slow to kill the giant Black Thorn Bees; it took about half an hour to defeat one. Plus, other Black Thorn Bees nearby could always join in for disruption or sneak attacks...

Ye Liqiang already felt exhausted, panting heavily, thinking about how to unexpectedly give the Star Beast in front of him a fatal blow. Suddenly—

”Everyone retreat!”

With a single command, the entire battlefield of giant Black Thorn Bees abruptly stopped in their tracks.

Ye Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the gaunt figure standing on the ground, his eyes misting slightly.

—It was the Marshal.

Lord Marshal is back.

Ye Liqiang immediately led the warriors, all driving their mechas, to retreat to the ground. As they withdrew, the surrounding Black Thorn Bees, whether mutated giant bees or normal-sized ones, showed no reaction and let Ye Liqiang and the others retreat safely.

Once Ye Liqiang and the others landed on the ground, He Chuan suddenly waved his hand lightly—

Thus—

All the Black Thorn Bees present, whether giant or ordinary, suddenly went crazy, attacking and biting each other...

Crunch~

Crunch~

Crunch~

Ji You and the others all widened their eyes: ”!!!”

So... so strong!

But—

That wasn’t enough. Right when Ji You, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, and... a few others stared unblinkingly, He Chuan waved his hand again, and suddenly, a terrifying aura that made Ji You’s Spiritual Silk tremble filled the entire Dock 1.

Then—

Under this terrifying aura, all the Black Thorn Bees present started to fall, dropping down as they turned to ashes.

Yes.

Ashes.

Ji You clearly smelled a burnt scent, but it was only momentary and then disappeared.

This—

What kind of terrifying power is this?

In a mere gesture, the giant Black Thorn Bee swarm that Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t defeat even with their full efforts turned to dust, even the Black Thorn Bee swarm that formidable seniors like Ye Liqiang could only fend off but couldn’t guarantee to eliminate... just... disappeared.

Ji You stared wide-eyed, mouth agape.

This scene was too impactful.

Indeed.

Ji You couldn’t fully comprehend this—

This isn’t the interstellar era; it’s the era of magic and cultivation!

Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... though they were also greatly astonished, so much that they trembled all over, they seemed to have always been aware of the Marshal’s power, shocked but not surprised. Completely unlike someone like Ji You, whose entire worldview was overturned.

For a long time.

For a long time.

...

There was no sound at the scene.

Ji You, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... all several just stood there blankly, eyes fixed on Marshal He Chuan’s gaunt back. After doing all this, He Chuan didn’t turn around or talk to anyone else. He simply lifted his head slightly, eyes gazing at a certain point in the sky, hands behind his back, standing still...

For a long time.

He Chuan suddenly turned around, nodded to Ye Liqiang and the warriors, then took out a jet-black mecha from the Space Button and flew towards the sky in a blink.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Neither the people in the fortress like Ji You nor the warriors like Ye Liqiang on the open ground at the dock made a sound. The air held a quiet atmosphere, seemingly capable of remaining silent for eternity.

Then—

Ji You suddenly said, ”Ahem... I originally thought Lord Marshal would wave his hand and ride the wind, stepping on the air.”

Sheng Qingyan and others: ”...”

Ji You looked slightly embarrassed and said, ”Ahem... Didn’t you think so too?”

For Lord Marshal who can kill a mass of Star Beasts with a flick of his finger, riding on air to fly upwards, what’s strange about that?

Sheng Qingyan glared at Ji You, slightly discontented: ”Poor dead, this is Lord Marshal, I forbid you to joke around.”

Ji You: ”...I wasn’t joking... I was serious.” In fact, her entire worldview, outlook on life, value system... had all been violently shaken and she hadn’t recovered yet.

Beside her, Shen Changqing explained, ”Marshal can’t climb walls, nor does he have wings, naturally he can’t fly to the sky, he definitely needs the mecha. Also—the Marshal used Spiritual Power Strangulation earlier.”

Ji You: ”???”

Although He Chuan had disappeared without a trace, Shen Changqing still stared at the sky, a burning light flickering in his dark eyes: ”Theoretically speaking, spiritual power strong enough to a certain realm can completely annihilate a creature from spirit to body together. My grandpa can do that now too.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You stared: ”Our grandpa can too?”

Shen Changqing’s mouth twitched, then his face flushed slightly, saying, ”One day, I too will be able to do it.” His goal has always been to catch up with grandpa and surpass grandpa.

Thinking for a moment, Shen Changqing then softly explained, ”But my grandpa’s spiritual power strength isn’t as strong as Grandpa Marshal. Grandpa Marshal can already directly annihilate a vast number of Star Beasts.”

”So... so strong!” It was only then that Yue Qiyuan came to his senses.

”This has completely surpassed the realm of human cognition, right?” Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but exclaim, then immediately clenched his fist, loudly said, ”Someday, my strength will definitely not lose to Lord Marshal!”

Ji You couldn’t help but retort, ”Wasn’t it just recently that you swore to defeat Admiral Bai Ji, and now, you dare aim high to defeat Lord Marshal?” Then Ji You suddenly changed her tone, loudly said, ”I am different; my goal is to defeat all strong opponents in the Universe and stand on the Peak of the Universe!”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang didn’t even want to pay attention to her anymore. He looked towards Shen Changqing and others, asking, ”Hey... What should we do now?”

What to do?

Of course, it’s time to go back to heal.

Yue Qiyuan pointed at the treatment cabin on the ground, where Chu Jiaojiao still hadn’t woken up, and said, ”We must go back immediately, we can’t delay anymore.”

Right then, Ye Liqiang led a group of warriors towards the fortress where Ji You and the others were staying—
