The Descent of the Sovereign
The three people in the front looked at the humans on Earth and smiled an eerie smile. Behind them stood thousands of cultivators; each had a cultivation level between Galaxy Venerable to Void Refinement realm.
One of the three Galaxy Sovereigns named Kael'thul looked at the humans and said, "Hahaha, now we can enjoy this feast only by ourselves. After eating these lowly creatures, we'd be able to reach that realm..."
The people of Earth and the S-Rank hunters all looked at these beings with solemn expressions. Elena and Ananya were already injured, while the rest of them were on high alert.
Xarax, one of the three beings, took out a compass from his space pouch and said, "Hehe, two of you have time-related powers. I'll be happy to have you both..." Then he looked at Elena and Amira as if they were some kind of gems in his eyes.
Morgath, the last of the three Galaxy Sovereigns, looked at the group as if he were looking at fools. At this moment, Ji-Hoon looked at the other S-Rank and A-Rank Awakeners and secretly nodded towards them. He activated his gravity field to cover the whole area where those beings were standing.
Ananya and Elena still tried their best and attacked the invaders with all their powers. Richard also attacked by absorbing the kinetic energy around them. Amira was hiding behind to assist anyone who was injured at any moment. Sir Alastor used his rapier to launch a fierce attack towards the thousands of beings. Liang Wei used his power to control thousands of swords to attack the group. Isabella used frequency to reach the speed of light to assassinate the members of the invaders. Olumide transformed into a beast-like creature that he had killed before and started attacking those invaders fiercely.
Kento was trying to control those thousands of space ships so that he could use those ships to counterattack these extraterrestrial beings. Each and every small Awakener, even those from F-Rank to A-Rank, started attacking these invaders fiercely.
But to their surprise, none of the invaders took them seriously at all. Xarax looked at Elena and Amira from the front line, then used his compass to suppress both to their places. He stretched his hand; in a second, a huge hand appeared above both of them, then smashed them into a bloody mist, and their souls were taken by the compass.
Everyone watched it in utter horror. Two of the huge pillars of Earth were gone—just gone like that. How would they fight these beings like this? At this moment, on the side of the A-Rank and other hunters, an onslaught began, and many hunters died like ants.
Morgath looked at Isabella, and with a single slap, she turned into a blood mist. Then he sensed a fluctuation from his own ship and looked towards it to see Kento trying to invade their ship. Morgath looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think you can control our ships just by using these powers? Hahaha!" After saying the sentence, he grabbed at the void, and the body of Kento was caught by him in just a few seconds. Then he clenched his fist, and Kento also turned into a bloody mist.
Another two S-Rank hunters died like that. At this moment, even the people from the Association felt the chill in their deep bones. What were they doing? They wanted to let these beings invade Earth. But now, when they were on Earth, in just a few seconds, four out of the ten S-Rank Awakeners had died. They felt speechless, looking at the screen in horror.
Every being on Earth felt horror at this moment. They didn't know how they would fight these beings like this. At this moment, Kael'thul looked at Ji-Hoon with a sinister smile and sent a palm force. By just contacting the palm force, Ji-Hoon turned into a blood mist. Another one died.
At this devastating moment, Sir Alastor used his rapier to pierce Kael'thul, but to his surprise, the rapier that could pierce anything—ignoring armor—couldn't even pierce the clothes of this being. He smiled at himself, realizing a shocking truth: all of this struggle was just for nothing. It was already a war in which all of them were going to die.
Kael'thul looked at Alastor, and with a single slap, Alastor also turned into a blood mist and then dissipated. The rest were all already injured, as if they were going to die at any moment. Richard, Olumide, Ananya, and Liang Wei—only these four were left out of the ten S-Rank hunters. Countless A-Rank and other hunters died in this war. Olumide had already lost a hand; Liang Wei was limping; Ananya had already paled in comparison with her original appearance and vomited blood many times. Richard was trying to save all of them by shielding them with his body.
Huai was watching everything from the cliff top, Qingqing in his arms crying continuously. Huai comforted her by saying everything would be okay. At this moment:
[Ding! Congratulations host for triggering your first task.]
Task: Kill all of those invaders who came to Earth to invade.
Rewards:
Cultivation Tower for Earthlings. (The tower contains many cultivation techniques suited for Earthlings; they need to venture into the tower and the tower will choose the cultivation techniques they need to cultivate).
Mysterious Reward. (Only known after receiving the reward).
White Mist Formation. (High grade; even Earth Immortals can't find their way in this formation).
Huai looked at the panel in his mind and smiled at himself. Then he looked at Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, brother needs to take care of those bad guys. You need to be brave and wait for me here, okay?"
Qingqing looked at Huai, confused, and said, "Pretty Gege, those guys are bad. Don't go there; they'd harm you too."
"Don't worry, Qingqing. They can't do anything to me." After saying this, Huai gave her a gentle smile. Huai said in his mind, "System, I am ready to receive the rewards." He sighed.
[Ding! Congratulations host for receiving the rewards. You have obtained the cultivation level of Immortal Sovereign (Peak) and 7 Resurrection Cards.]
In just seconds, Huai felt a huge power sweep through his full body. His meridians, his blood, and everything about him changed in just seconds. His wounds healed; his appearance became so beautiful, as if he came from heaven. His hair started growing until he had long black hair moving in the air, still looking beautiful. His light brown eyes looked as if they were holding everything in the universe. A simple red mark lingering between his eyebrows made his gentle face more and more beautiful. Then nature took its course, and wind, fire, water, earth, and wood elements were attracted towards him and enveloped him in their embrace. His whole clothes changed. Now he was wearing a long white robe. His long sleeves fluttered in the wind; golden threads of fire lingered in his robe as if they were just mere designs. Water elements made the robe cool, earth elements made a sword for him to hang from his waist, and wood elements became the otherworldly aura that was lingering around him.
Qingqing stared at Huai and murmured to herself, "Pretty, so so pretty!"
Huai looked at her, then nodded and vanished from his place.
At this moment, at the site of the war, everyone was trying to fight the enemy even though they knew they couldn't do anything at all to these invaders. Ananya was on the verge of death; Liang Wei carried her with one hand while trying to fight the enemy. Richard was already covering for Olumide. Olumide had already lost a hand, and Richard's whole body was covered in blood now. From the start until now, in only a few seconds, everything was gone. They had lost the war already. At the site of the other hunters, they were going to lose in a miserable way—more miserable than these S-Ranks.
At this moment, suddenly, three Galaxy Sovereigns attacked simultaneously, and three huge palms appeared above the sky of Earth as if they'd slap everyone to death. Everyone was looking at those hands in horror. The people of Earth, the creatures of Earth, the remaining four S-Rank hunters, the Global Awakeners Association, and even all Awakeners ranging from A-Rank to F-Rank—all were watching these palms in the sky.
At this moment, everyone stopped attacking. Even the S-Rank hunters also knew it was the end, so they were just waiting for their deaths. After a few long seconds, they didn't die. Everyone opened their eyes to see the three huge palms in the sky were gone.
In their place stood a man in clear white robes with golden thread work. His long black hair was fluttering in the wind. At his waist, a long black sword was hanging. An otherworldly aura was enveloping the guy as if he came from heaven itself. His eyes were light brown, filled with endless wisdom.
The three Galaxy Sovereigns' faces changed completely. They didn't know when this person appeared in front of them, and with a single flick of his hand, the power of their palm force disintegrated into thin air. Above all, they couldn't see through this guy at all, as if they were watching an endless abyss.
Huai looked at them indifferently, then looked at the remaining four S-Rank Awakeners and the rest of the A-Rank and other hunters. Huai sighed and waved his hand. A gentle force passed by, and all of those injuries started healing in front of their naked eyes. Severed limbs grew back to normal; people on the verge of death came back to life as if nothing had happened to them. Everyone was overjoyed to see their conditions getting better and better.
Then everyone looked at this being who saved them. Lu Sheng was looking at Huai in horror. He felt like an ant in front of Huai. If anyone knew this person to the core, it was him, but he didn't have the audacity to go and talk to him.
Huai looked back at the invaders. At this moment, the three Galaxy Sovereigns came to realize what they were doing; they composed themselves. Morgath looked at Huai and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Huai looked at him with indifference. "You're not qualified to know..."
As these words left his mouth, the whole sky changed color. The laws of the Heavenly Dao of the Milky Way Galaxy changed, and in front of every living creature, Morgath's body and soul disintegrated into thin air.
Silence. Utter silence. The being that killed their S-Rank hunters as if killing mosquitoes—killing humans as if they were not even ants in front of these extraterrestrial beings—just died after a single sentence from this person.
Even Xarax and Kael'thul felt horror in their hearts. They looked at Huai as if they were looking at death itself. Xarax composed himself and said, "Your Highness, we don't want to be enemies with you. If... if you let us go this time, we'd give you everything we got after destroying countless planets..."
He didn't even complete his sentence before Huai looked at him, and his body and soul disintegrated into thin air.
Kael'thul's face was pale at this moment. He never thought on this small planet he'd meet this powerhouse. What was a powerhouse like him doing on this small planet? He was crying inside himself. Kael'thul stopped those thoughts for now and suddenly kowtowed. "Your Highness, mercy! Show us mercy..."
Huai said, "Didn't you want to show a palm force a few seconds ago? Let me show you what a palm technique really is."
By just saying this, Huai moved his hand, made a gesture, and just by doing this, the whole sky changed color. The whole sky became ocean blue. Then, one after another, thousands of beautiful lotuses appeared in the sky, and then they bloomed. A beautiful smell started appearing in the world. To Kael'thul's and the other invaders' horror, a huge door appeared in the sky. The whole door was golden. Then the door opened, and a huge hand appeared in the sky; the hand was the same as Huai's. The hand slapped Kael'thul and the other invaders into a bloody mist.
The whole world became normal again. Now the people of Earth were watching this man differently; this man just killed thousands of beings that invaded Earth in a few seconds. He was a hero for humanity.
