My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 638: Chapter 381: Seizing Earth’s Authority (Part 2)

However, after the Apocalypse began, the emergence of Extraordinary Particles greatly accelerated this process. Not only that, but these seniors had all reached new heights, their strength now even slightly surpassing what it was at their peak.

Unfortunately, they were still only at the Divine Tier.

Jiang Cai’Er intended to gather all Divine Tier experts to lend their aid, so she naturally made sure to include these seniors. She had already sent her Digital Life Clones to the Qinling Ancestral Vein, the Original Imperial Capital, and Jinling City to invite the four Dragon Vein Spirits.

The seniors, understanding the high stakes, readily agreed. As Earth Vein Spirits, they were capable of traveling to the Earth’s Core Dark Cosmic Space on their own and thus did not need to board Jiang Cai’Er’s Stellar Mother Ship.

In the heart of the battlefield, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were locked in a fierce battle with five Divine King Realm Exotic Beast Kings. Outnumbered two to five, they held no advantage. In fact, they had already faced several life-or-death situations.

Previously, Li Xiang had been able to charge in alone, fight for hundreds of rounds with ease, and retreat at his leisure. That was only because the Divine King Realm beasts had been fighting on their own, completely disorganized. Now, however, the situation had forced them to unite, making it impossible for Li Xiang to exploit the chaos as he had before.

Besides, his previous attacks were merely harassment; he could always fall back. But now, retreat was not an option. If he did, the enemy would accelerate their Refinement of the Heart of the Earth.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei felt pushed to their limits, surviving one close call after another. But that was only from their perspective. In the eyes of the Divine King Realm beasts, the fact that two tiny humans could be so tenacious—that they still hadn’t defeated them after such a long battle—was an utter disgrace.

When had they ever paid any mind to such insignificant humans? This wasn’t the Cyan Spirit Star Realm. Even there, the only ones who could defeat them were a few ancient old-timers who had spent countless years in seclusion.

The Divine King Realm Exotic Beast Kings were furious and bewildered. ”When we first invaded this planet, there were no Divine King Realm powers here at all—only three or four feeble Divine Tier Mountain and River Spirits. How is it that in just a few short years, two Divine King Realm cultivators have appeared, along with so many at the Divine Tier?”

”Four seniors, seven... sisters, let’s stick to the plan and go lend Brother Xiang a hand!” The situation was critical, so Jiang Cai’Er quickly reviewed the strategy with everyone, making a few last-minute adjustments based on the state of the battle.

The moment Jiang Cai’Er finished speaking, the four Dragon Vein Spirits were the first to charge into battle.

They split into two pairs, each engaging one of the two weakest Divine King Realm beasts. Seeing the reinforcements, Luo Feifei’s spirits soared. A quick thinker, she instantly grasped Jiang Cai’Er’s strategy. With a sweep of her Frost Splintering Sky Stab, she tore open a massive spatial rift, cutting off the other two Divine King Realm beasts.

”Brother Xiang, focus on the strongest one!” Jiang Cai’Er’s clear voice resonated through a Divine Thought transmission. ”All of us will help you!”

Led by Jiang Cai’Er, the group of eight—Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, Erin, Chiba Yuki, Asatsuyu, and Yukigiri—flew out in unison, landing beside Li Xiang in a dazzling, chattering flock.

Together, the women activated the Star Dome Concerto: Simurgh’s Nine Melodies, channeling their Spiritual Power across the distance and into Li Xiang’s body.

For a moment, Li Xiang was so dazzled he could hardly believe his eyes.

”Now is not the time to get distracted. Focus on the enemy!” Jiang Cai’Er shot him an exasperated glare, thinking, ’You’ve really lucked out. Finally got your wish, haven’t you?’

Instantly, Li Xiang’s Spiritual Power surged, and his presence became even more overwhelmingly powerful.

The most powerful of the Divine King Realm beasts, the Star Rock Dominating Armor Dragon King, had previously held the upper hand and was keeping Li Xiang suppressed. But now, caught off guard by Li Xiang’s sudden ”eruption” of power, it was sent tumbling for tens of thousands of kilometers by a series of Critical Strikes.

The Dark Cosmic Space was boundless, existing independently of the real universe.

It roared repeatedly, its Spiritual Fluctuations broadcasting its shock. ”Holy shit, are you on something?” Its body, as vast as a continent, swept forward once more.

Li Xiang, however, was now utterly fearless. The longer he fought, the more ferocious he became.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cai’Er’s Digital Life Clone—the mobile Supercomputing Center aboard the Divine Remains-level Stellar Carrier—took control of the Divine Level Mother Ship’s various weapon systems. Unmanned fighters were also deployed to harass the Divine King Realm beasts, relieving the pressure on her companions.

The ship’s High-Energy Particle Cannons and Laser Cannons were impressively powerful. While not strong enough to inflict significant damage on the Divine King Realm beasts, they could still cause pain. The cannons specifically targeted weak spots—eyes, throats, crotches—forcing the beasts to divert a portion of their energy to defense. This tactic successfully pinned them down and divided their attention.

While Li Xiang had gained the upper hand, the battle elsewhere was grim. Two of the four Divine Level Earth Vein Spirits were already severely wounded and coughing up blood. Luo Feifei, holding off two opponents by herself, was also in constant peril, her once-perfect hair now in disarray.

She might be a genius, but she had only just entered the Divine King Realm. Her two opponents, by contrast, were ancient beasts second only to the Star Rock Dominating Armor Dragon King in power. Having lived for twenty to thirty thousand years, they were five or six minor realms above her. The fact that Luo Feifei had held out for so long was a testament to her astonishing talent.

”Feifei, get over here!” Li Xiang let out a long cry as his Spiritual Power morphed into a long cord. It shot out like a striking flood dragon, instantly snatching Luo Feifei from the two Divine King Realm beasts’ pincer attack.

The other women couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

Luo Feifei cried out in surprise, a faint blush on her cheeks. But the situation was too critical to worry about such things. With fierce determination, she too began to channel the Star Dome Concerto: Simurgh’s Nine Melodies, merging her Spiritual Power and Spiritual Will with Li Xiang and the others.
