Chapter 289: Golden Core Self-Destruction

The three beast pets hugged each other and emitted a blinding white light on the ground.

Qina and the others knew what was going on in just one glance.

“We can’t let them fuse together,” Qina yelled.

After speaking, she and her clansmen operated their mechas to fire the energy cannons and laser cannons at the beast pets below.

The two members sneered. They were already on guard and did not panic at all.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A defensive barrier appeared around the beast pets, blocking all Lomerian’s attacks.

Qina increased her damage output, but it was too late.

When the defensive barrier was shattered, the three beast pets completed their fusion.

After the fusion, their bodies became exceptionally large and expanded to twice their original size.

Moreover, after the fusion, this beast pet had all the advantages of the previous three beast pets. Its strength could be said to have increased qualitatively.

Qina knew very well how powerful a fused beast pet was, but it was not so strong that it was invincible.

Beast pets could be fused together, and so could mechas.

Qina ordered her clansmen to prepare for the fusion.

They formed groups of five and began to fuse.

The fusion of the mech did not take a long time.

In the blink of an eye, it was done.

The eight fused mechas quickly surrounded the fusion beast pets.

Although a fused mecha was more powerful, its weakness was obvious——it was not agile enough.

After fusing, it would be controlled by multiple people. This required cooperation between the operators.

Multiple operators were definitely not as efficient as individual operators. Hence, there would inevitably be some small problems during the process.

Qina’s clansmen cooperated well, but there were still some flaws.

Furthermore, the fused beast pet’s body not only had a tough outer shell, but it was also very powerful.

Qina and company would have to take a huge risk in close combat, and they could die at any moment.

But they didn’t care.

They had come out with fearless determination. No matter what, they had to stop the destruction by Aatrox’s team.

The battle went on for five to six minutes.

Qina and the others had suffered varying degrees of damage to their mechas. The fused beast pet was also covered in wounds, but it had powerful recovery abilities. It only needed a few seconds to heal the injuries that weren’t serious.

It would be extremely difficult for Qina and the others to defeat a fusion beast pet.

While they were fighting, another layer of Cloud Mountain’s grand array formations was destroyed.

If this continued, the array formations protecting Cloud Mountain would be destroyed.

Qina was very anxious, but she was out of good ideas.

Right then, the sect disciples returned.

They were still injured and had not fully recovered.

Qina was confused.

Participating in a battle in such a state was undoubtedly suicide.

A disciple shouted, “Dr. Qina, quickly retreat.”

Qina was stunned and was even more puzzled about what they were doing.

At this moment, the disciples flew over and circled around Qina and company.

“Why are you all back?” Qina asked loudly.

A disciple said, “Dr. Qina, there’s no time to explain now.

“You guys should back off first. We have a way to deal with this.”

“Well…” Qina hesitated.

“Please trust us, Dr. Qina.”

Qina saw the determination in the gazes of the disciples. She was doubtful but quickly instructed her clansmen to retreat temporarily.

They flew high into the sky, paying attention to the situation below.

After Qina and company, the disciples nodded to each other as if they had agreed on something.

…

At the same time, Wang Zhixing received a voice transmission from the disciples below.

“Peak Master, we’re leaving.

“Tell Sect Master that we are willing to continue being his disciples in our next life.”

When Wang Zhixing heard this, he knew what these disciples were about to do, and he was filled with grief.

For a moment, his tears flowed down uncontrollably.

“You’re all good people… but…” Wang Zhixing wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

Then, there was a loud explosion at the foot of Cloud Mountain.

Huge mushroom clouds soared into the sky, looking extremely spectacular.

Qina, high up in the sky, finally understood why these cultivators wanted them to leave.

These disciples knew that they could not defeat their enemies with their capabilities.

For this, they thought of a very extreme method—self-destruction.

The power produced by the self-destruction of an immortal cultivator was many times greater than the power of one’s own strength.

The self-destruction of a Golden Core cultivator was enough to kill an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

The defense abilities of a fusion beast pet were very high, so the self-destruction of a Golden Core cultivator naturally could not threaten its life.

But now…

There were about forty sect disciples, so the power produced by their self-destruction was immeasurable. Therefore, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to survive.

After the self-destruction ended, everything within a five-kilometer radius was razed to the ground except for Cloud Mountain, which was protected by the array formations.

At the foot of Cloud Mountain, there was now a huge pit.

Now, the fused beast pet had been reduced to a pile of dust.

There was only one beast pet left.

As for the remaining winged dragon beast pet, it was also destroyed under the troops’ efforts.

However, the price they paid was devastating.

There were less than ten fighter aircrafts left from the initial almost hundred of them. All the mechas were destroyed in the battle.

At this moment, the area became exceptionally quiet.

Qina and the others ended their fusion and slowly descended from the sky.

They all felt very sad.

Although they had destroyed the enemy’s beast pets, the price they had paid was too heavy.

At this time, two members of Aatrox’s team crawled out from underground.

They were in an extremely sorry state right now, completely lacking the indifferent aura from before.

They had never thought that these sect disciples would be so extreme. They didn’t think they would use their own lives as power and perish with their opponents. It was truly inconceivable.

“Chief, there’s been an accident.” They immediately reported the situation to Aatrox.

Aatrox’s expression darkened at once.

“What’s going on?” Aatrox growled.

The two members explained what had just happened.

After hearing this, Aatrox was first shocked, and then his expression became exceptionally grim.

He glanced at the battle within the barrier and felt that there was no need to continue.

One bad news after another gave him a bad feeling.

Aatrox summoned the members and asked them to control the Nirvana Beasts. It was time to get down to business.

Seeing this, Wang Zhixing and the others understood Aatrox’s intentions.

“Xiao Xue, quickly end this battle!” Wang Zhixing transmitted his voice.

Ma Qingxue did not hesitate. She controlled her magical artifacts and killed Samo instantly, giving her a quick death.

At this moment, Aatrox, together with all the members, appeared before Wang Zhixing and company on their Nirvana Beasts.

“Human, Lomerians, give up resisting and hand over the [Ancestral Stone], or I will destroy you and the planet behind you.”

Aatrox sounded particularly determined.

This time, he was very serious. He would not give any chances.

Wang Zhixing and company wore grave expressions.

If they compromised, then they would be letting down those disciples who had sacrificed themselves. They couldn’t let them sacrifice themselves for nothing.

But, they couldn’t stop them with their own strength.

Sect Master, we need you.
