A guard, spotting a "golden pillar of light" rising in the distance, immediately reported respectfully to the girl on the bow of the ship.
"Holy Maiden, there's a 'golden pillar of light' over there."
The Holy Maiden wore silver armor that clung tightly to her curves, highlighting her tall and graceful figure.
Beneath her short red skirt were silver boots, showcasing her enviable long legs, perfectly proportioned.
Her long, golden hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, smooth and beautiful.
Her large, bright eyes sparkled with confidence and wisdom.
Her high, straight nose added definition to her face, giving her a touch of heroic spirit.
Her six wings were as white as snow, each feather like a meticulously carved piece of jade, without a single impurity.
She was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Angel Clan
—Tian Yanyan.
Tian Yanyan possessed a unique aura, embodying nobility, confidence, gentleness, and courage; she was a goddess high above the rest of the Angel Clan.
Her ranking as the fourth on the "Genius Ranking" only amplified her awe.
The Angel Clan entered "Divine Stone Mountain" in two warships. One was led by the Angelic Son, ranked third on the "Genius Ranking," and the other by Tian Yanyan.
She glanced at Fang Xian, the "golden pillar of light," and calmly gave the order.
"Xiao Xue, full speed ahead."
A stunningly beautiful girl named Qian Yuxue, standing behind Tian Yanyan, respectfully responded.
"Yes."
Qian Yuxue had long, golden hair that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.
She wore a white, sacred gown, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
Her tall, graceful figure was perfectly proportioned, radiating noble elegance.
Qian Yuxue's face was exquisite, her sculpted features possessing a cold, aloof beauty that kept people at a distance.
Her skin was fair and flawless, smooth as jade.
Although she hadn't made it into the top 12 of the "Genius Ranking," she was ranked 13th, just not surpassing the 12th-ranked Emperor.
Qian Yuxue slowly turned around, her six pure white wings trembling slightly, the feathers rustling softly like celestial music.
"Full speed ahead."
"Yes!"
The angelic warship flapped its wings, rapidly flying towards the "golden pillar of light" where Fang Xian was.
...
The white ghost ship.
"Brother, it's the 'golden pillar of light.'"
A melodious voice rang out. The woman speaking wore a soft white dress that enveloped her alluring figure like mist, revealing only her eyes, as bright as the most dazzling light in the night sky.
Her figure, outlined by the white cloth, was graceful and alluring, the undulating curves like mountains caressed by a spring breeze, soft and rhythmic.
Surrounded by a white cloth, her exquisite figure was vaguely revealed, adding a touch of mysterious allure that captivated all who beheld her, compelling them to lift the veil and reveal her secrets.
She was none other than the Mysterious Goddess of the Mysterious Clan, ranked 22nd on the "Genius List."
—Bai Youjing.
The young man standing beside Bai Youjing was tall and slender, clad in a black robe.
His skin was almost sickly pale, gleaming with a cold light.
A pair of narrow eyes occasionally flashed with a cold, icy light.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile always played at the corners of his lips, revealing an eerie and ruthless quality.
He was none other than the 8th-ranked member of the Eerie Clan, the Eerie God Child.
—Bai Lengshen.
"Let's go take a look."
"Okay, brother."
Bai Youjing waved her small hand playfully.
"Charge!"
The white ghost ship began to ripple, accelerating forward.
…
On Fang Xian's warship, Suzaku clenched her fists, her sharp eyes fixed on the rapidly turning spaceships approaching from behind.
"Honey, they're all coming this way."
"Hmm."
Fang Xian calmly turned around, looking at the approaching spaceships.
Seeing Elder Centipede, they ran faster than anyone else.
Now that Elder Centipede was dead and the "golden pillar of light" had appeared, they stopped running and turned back more eagerly than anyone else, even daring to try and eliminate their rivals first?
The seemingly weaker Fang Xian warship was naturally their primary target.
"Since they dare to come, let them not return."
Fang Xian's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone on the warship to hear.
They all drew their weapons, their fighting spirit high, their eyes fixed on the group of spaceships chasing after them.
Fang Xian took a step forward, instantly appearing at the stern of the ship.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he surveyed the approaching array of spaceships, adopting a strategy of politeness before resorting to force.
"Gentlemen, this 'golden pillar of light' is mine. Please leave."
The spaceships of the various races behind him were stunned for a moment, then burst into arrogant laughter.
"Boy, I am from the Human King Clan, second only to the Human Emperor Clan. You should leave now. This is not something you lowly humans can covet."
"Human brat, leave immediately! The 'golden pillar of light' that I, the Black Bear Demon, have set my sights on is not to be taken."
"Heh—you don't take my Mad Lion Clan seriously?"
"What are you doing? My Ai Kun Clan is not to be trifled with."
"Human brat, survival is paramount. Leave now. My Wild Wolf Clan will speak up for you."
Fang Xian listened to their blasphemous remarks with a cold laugh, shaking his head slightly.
"You refuse the path to heaven and insist on forcing your way into hell; then you'll all die like Elder Centipede."
The members of the various races behind him were stunned by Fang Xian's words. He killed Elder Centipede?
Elder Centipede, a level 800 being, was a "King-level race," second only to the "God-level race." How could such an existence be killed by an ordinary human before them?
The strongest human at level 500 was the Human Prince, ranked 12th on the "Genius Ranking." How could they not recognize the Human Prince's warship?
The human before them was clearly not a subject of the Human Emperor's race. As long as they weren't from the Human Emperor's race, they had nothing to fear.
The geniuses of each race hadn't yet appeared in this area; they had to seize a position closest to the "Golden Pillar of Light."
Because once the "Golden Pillar of Light" appeared, it would provide many "positions."
Each layer of positions extended outwards from the "Golden Pillar of Light."
The first layer could only accommodate one warship and was closest to the "Golden Pillar of Light."
The second ship is the next best, and so on. The closer they are, the sooner they can obtain the treasure within the "golden pillar of light."
Once the location is confirmed, other ships cannot attack or approach.
The "location" restriction is lifted only after the treasure is revealed.
This is why they prioritized sinking Fang Xian's warship.
They all thought Fang Xian was using this as a delaying tactic, deliberately deceiving them to make them hesitate and miss the best opportunity to pursue.
"Stop talking nonsense, prepare to die!"
"You're all hopeless human brats, die!"
"As fellow human, I didn't want to attack you. Since you insist on courting death, don't blame me for showing no mercy. You'll have to die."
As they prepared to attack, a dense rain of "fire meteors" appeared in the sky.
"Child's play, activate the protective shield."
"Don't bother with these little tricks, behold my 'Flaming Bear Claw'!"
"Lion's Roar!"
"Aikun Blue Sphere!"
They each displayed their unique abilities, but...
All their skills struck the "fire meteor shower" without any effect.
At this moment, their eyes widened, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.
Elder Centipede had truly been killed by the human before them.
He—was truly not someone to be trifled with.
But it was too late.
They
—are fucked.
