Chapter 1704: Annihilation
The zombies poured into the building, causing the structure to crumble.
A young man leaped out of the broken window. His jump took him across the entire street, and he landed on the roof of another building. It was a distance of more than fifty meters, so the man clearly was not an ordinary human.
Just as the young man landed on the roof of a building across the street, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared before him. The man’s pupils shrank sharply, and his face grew pale. Out of desperation, he dropped down the roof and landed on the street, but the corpse king followed him. The creature released a fierce roar and jumped forward with raised claws, ready to grab the young man.
The man was terrified, and he dropped to the ground with a scream. The corpse king’s hand fell, and the young man instinctively closed his eyes, already giving in to despair.
He waited a bit, but nothing happened. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of slender, snow-white thighs. His gaze followed them up to see a young girl wearing a dark red dress with a dagger at her waist and a long sword in her hand. The most conspicuous thing about the sword was the red moon engraved on its hilt. That red moon was the symbol of the Red Moon Dynasty.
The young man was thrilled to see this, as it meant that the people from the Red Moon Dynasty had arrived.
Roar!
The corpse king pursuing the man let out a frustrated roar, and when the young man looked at the creature, he saw that all its limbs were twisted in unnatural directions. There was also a cut on the beast’s abdomen, clearly a result of an attack from the girl from the Red Moon Dynasty.
There was a bang as her sword fell down, and the man watched as it tore through the ground, forcing the man to retreat in terror.
The corpse king approached the girl one step at a time, and countless zombies emerged from the ruins of the building that the young man had leaped from. They had noticed the man and the girl, and they started to swarm them.
"Quick, run away!" the man warned in fear.
The girl did not even look at the young man as her sword spun around and slashed out with a horizontal attack. The next moment, the countless zombies that were running towards the two were sliced through at the waist, causing blood to splatter across the ground. Even more terrifying was that the building behind the zombies was cut in half.
The man was shocked, was this the strength of a cultivator?
The corpse king was terrified, and it roared again. It looked like the creature wanted to make a move, but footsteps suddenly came from behind them. "Junior Sister, are you still not done yet?"
The young man turned his head, and he saw a group of people approaching from the distance. Some of them were walking on the ground, and others were leaping down from the nearby skyscrapers. There were seven people, and each one of them was wearing armor and wielded a sword with the emblem of the Red Moon Dynasty on the hilt.
With so many cultivators from the Red Moon Dynasty, the corpse king grew frightened, and it turned to flee.
None of the humans reacted, and they remained where they were and allowed the corpse king to escape.
Finally, the girl turned around, and the young man was surprised when he saw her face.
The girl was quite beautiful. She had delicate features, and the long sword in her hand gave her a heroic aura.
The man quickly rose to his feet, grateful, only to see disgust fill the girl\'s eyes. "Is such a person worthy of rescuing?"
The man blankly stared at the girl walking in front of him. The disdain he saw in her eyes forced him to lower his head, and he no longer dared to look at her directly.
"Whether he’s worth it or not, he’s not an ordinary human, which means that there’ll be rewards for taking him back, just like that woman from a few days ago."
"Hmph, that woman is probably the most beautiful person on this entire planet! How many times have you played with her?"
"Haha, Junior Sister, cut the nonsense."
"Like I don’t know you?"
"Alright, let\'s go. There’s more for you to finish," someone a little further away urged.
The young man just listened to the people talk before they dragged him away. Not a single one of the people paid the young man even the slightest hint of attention, and they merely dragged him along like an animal. However, this let the man to see the power of the Red Moon Dynasty. The terrifying corpse kings were helpless against these people.
After observing the people for a few days, the young man saw that many other people were also rescued by the group from the Red Moon Dynasty. Each person who was rescued was an extraordinary person while all of the ordinary people were simply ignored. The seven people watched as ordinary humans were bitten by zombies, and they even jokingly bet on how long a person would survive.
The young woman with the delicate features was no different from the others, as not a single one of them treated regular humans as real people.
The strangest thing was that none of these powerful experts would kill the corpse kings, and they always allowed the creatures to escape. This caused the young man to become increasingly doubtful, though he did not dare to ask any questions.
During these few days, he gradually came to understand where the group of experts had come from, as well as the status of his planet in the greater scope of the universe.
The young man had been born on a planet called Peacemound Planet that was in Basong Flowzone. However, the young man had no idea what a “flowzone” was. All he knew was that the Red Moon Dynasty was the master of the entire Basong Flowzone. Doomsdays, like the one that his planet was suffering, were used to select people to join the Red Moon Dynasty’s cultivators as their soldiers.
The young man’s planet had also been chosen.
After learning this, the young man\'s eyes blazed with hatred. In order to choose their soldiers, the Red Moon Dynasty deliberately triggered doomsdays. They did not care about the lives of the ordinary people on those planets, and their view was made clear when the girl said, “If you can find talented cultivators, it’s worth sacrificing a hundred such planets.”
These words repeated themselves in the young man’s dreams every single night. The girl\'s delicate face had become something hideous in his eyes, and he had already sworn that he would completely destroy the Red Moon Dynasty if the opportunity ever arose. He would avenge his home, his parents and family, as well as his unborn child.
He kept his hatred hidden deep in his heart.
One day, the man was still following the experts from the Red Moon Dynasty, and they approached a massive spacecraft. "It\'s finally here! Get inside. As soon as you head up, your fate will change," someone said in a loud voice.
Someone quietly asked, "Then what about our home planet?"
A person from the Red Moon Dynasty just sneered. "Home? This planet? It’ll be immediately destroyed, and it will be as though it never even existed."
The young man and all of the other people who had just been rescued were completely heartbroken upon hearing this answer. They fell silent and quietly boarded the vessel that soon ascended into space.
The men were all put in dormitories that each housed twenty people in a manner fit for animals. Fortunately, each room had a small window that allowed them to see the starry expanse of outer space as they traveled.
They were in outer space! The young man’s home planet had developed technology and done their best to find life beyond their planet, but they had only found their planet’s doom instead. The young man’s hands slowly clenched into fists.
Before long, another person entered the room. She was a woman wearing ragged clothes, and she just curled up into a corner where she trembled with her head hanging low. While it was difficult to get a clear look at her face, her eyes were filled with both fear and hatred.
As the young man looked at the woman, the spacecraft jostled, and the woman’s hair moved to the side. He saw her face clearly, and his pupils instantly constricted. Who was that woman? Could she possibly be Yun Fei? Peacemound Planet’s most beautiful woman? How did she end up in such a state?
The young man’s thoughts drifted back to the day when he had been rescued and the words that had been spoken by one of the experts from the Red Moon Dynasty. The young man ground his teeth so hard he nearly crushed them. Those beasts!
The people of Peacemound Planet had viewed people from the Red Moon Dynasty as practically celestials, but the truth was that they were mere beasts.
After several more days, the vessel landed, and the young man was driven out. He saw a massive planet sitting in space like a monster. It was completely surrounded by numerous space stations. Above it was a majestic red moon, and off in the distance was a luxurious imperial palace. They had arrived at the Red Moon Dynasty.
Cultivators from the Red Moon Dynasty flew through the sky, one after another. They looked like gods.
The people around the young man all subconsciously started kneeling, and they dropped to the ground one by one. In the end, only the young man, Yun Fei, and the person who had kept his head down the entire time did not kneel.
In the sky above them, the Red Moon Dynasty’s cultivators who filled the air as they passed by glared down at the man. "How arrogant. On your knees!"
The man\'s legs trembled, and his courage was overpowered by his fear. However, just as he was about to kneel, he heard a chuckle from the side. "This is the day the Red Moon Dynasty disappears."
With that, the head of the cultivator who had commanded the three people to kneel was removed.
The young man stared blankly at the sky, and he watched on in shock as scarlet blood spilled out. Suddenly, an alarm blared out through the entire Red Moon Dynasty.
The young man had no idea what was happening, and he turned in confusion to look at those next to him, only to see white smoke wrap around the bodies of the others who had not kneeled.
Right after that, chaos erupted in all directions. "The Great Eastern Alliance’s Lu Elite Troops have been ordered to annihilate the Red Moon Dynasty."
"The Great Eastern Alliance’s Lu Elite Troops have been ordered to annihilate the Red Moon Dynasty."
"The Great Eastern Alliance’s Lu Elite Troops have been ordered to annihilate the Red Moon Dynasty."
…
Boom!
The spaceship that had carried the young man from his home of Peacemound Planet to the Red Moon Dynasty violently exploded, and the explosion continued to spread until the entire space station was blown apart.
The man fled as fast as possible. Off in the distance, the experts from the Red Moon Dynasty who had rescued the man had also started panicking. The young man had not expected such powerful experts to react in the same manner as him. No, they were actually worse than him, as there was despair etched into their faces.
In particular, the girl with the delicate features had gone completely pale. "The Great Eastern Alliance? Why? Why would the Great Eastern Alliance attack us? We’re just a small flowzone that doesn’t pose any threat at all to them."
"Any who surrender will not die." The girl reflexively raised her sword and attacked the voice that came from behind, but her slash was easily blocked by a puff of white smoke. She turned around, and the white smoke drifted past her. She stood in a daze as vessels exploded all around them in the distance. A shockwave swept by, and it swallowed up the girl\'s body, leaving nothing behind.
The young man was stunned; he had watched that girl slice through an entire building with a single swing of her sword, but she had no way to resist at this moment.
From the sky all the way down to the ground, white smoke drifted about, filling the battlefield.
Overhead, the red moon suddenly flickered, and a loud voice echoed through the entire region, "Why is the Great Eastern Alliance attacking my Red Moon Dynasty? My Red Moon Dynasty has never had any interactions with the Great Eastern Alliance, so why?"
The voice echoed out from the Red Moon Dynasty’s imperial palace, and a terrifying sound wave caused even the void to shake. The young man could not believe that he was seeing spatial tears emerge from mere sound.
How could a person do such a thing? Wasn’t this the power of a god? Even if Peacemound Planet had spent another thousand years developing their technology, it still would have been impossible for them to tear through space. This was the power of the Red Moon Dynasty.
However, even more terrifying was the fact that the power the young man regarded as god like actually contained words filled with a panicked helplessness that was reminiscent of when the young man had been captured and taken to the Red Moon Dynasty like livestock. Could even gods panic?
As for the Red Moon Dynasty, this day was their doomsday.
Out in space, Lu Yin stood quietly within the flagship while staring out at the huge red moon in the distance.
The Red Moon Dynasty had a rather strange power, or to be precise, bizarre battle techniques that borrowed the power of the red moon.
There were countless battle techniques throughout the universe, and the Red Moon Dynasty’s methods were just one style.
Balsam still felt puzzled. "Alliance Leader Lu, why did you attack the Red Moon Dynasty? They are just a tiny power."
"Just wait and see. You won’t be disappointed by this show." Lu Yin showed a small smile.
On the Red Moon Dynasty’s home planet, a middle-aged man rushed out. He had a power level of more than 400,000, but his expression was grim and showed evident despair. "Why did the Great Eastern Alliance attack my Red Moon Dynasty? My Red Moon Dynasty has never offended you!"
