Chapter 159 The Star Realm Elder Declares He Willing to Draw True Dragon Bloodline!
Inside the Elder Council's Crystal Hall, suspended in the void of space, on the Astral Realm, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to drip water.
Twelve towering stone pillars, engraved with star patterns, surround the perimeter.
The top of the pillar is inlaid with fragments of stars plundered from various conquered star systems.
It emitted a cold light. Twelve astral elders, each having lived for over five million years, sat around an obsidian round table.
Watching Morgan and Sauron flee in disarray with their remaining fleet on the screen, everyone's faces turned ashen, and the stellar energy fluctuations around them almost tore the hall apart.
Chief Elder Mo Chenzi slammed the Star Cup in his hand onto the ground.
The priceless crystal glass, crafted from the core of a neutron star, instantly turned to dust.
"Useless! A bunch of utterly useless trash! It's one thing for that idiot Karen to die from underestimating the enemy and acting recklessly, but Morgan and Sauron led an army of 1.5 million, along with forbidden weapons like the Planet Destroyer Cannon..."
They were actually routed by a mere native from a lowly civilization! My astral realm has traversed the universe for millions of years...
I have never suffered such a humiliating disgrace!
Mo Chenzi slowly stood up. He was hunched over, and his hair and beard were as white as snow, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. The star power emanating from his body made the other elders unable to help but glance at him slightly.
He is the oldest powerful being in the Astral Realm besides the Lord, and he once followed the first Lord of the Astral Realm in conquering the universe.
He personally destroyed three star systems with god-level civilizations, and the blood on his hands was enough to drown a planet.
"That Lu Jingchen just got lucky and received some of the legacy of an ancient dragon, yet he dares to act so arrogantly in front of us!"
Mo Chenzi sneered, his voice aged yet carrying a chilling edge.
"I will personally make a trip to Earth, capture him alive, drain his true dragon bloodline, and refine it into an elixir of immortality! Then I will reduce all Earthlings to the lowest level of slaves, forcing them to mine for our star realm for generations to atone for their sins!"
"Elder Mo Chen is wise!" The Second Elder immediately echoed, "With you personally taking action, that brat Lu Jingchen is doomed! However, that kid is a bit strange, so you must not underestimate him."
"Underestimating your opponent?" Mo Chenzi stroked his long white beard, his face full of disdain.
"When I was conquering the universe, his ancestors for eighteen generations hadn't even been born yet! This time, I will not only bring my thirty thousand Star Guards, but also the supreme treasure left by the first ruler, the 'Star Prison'."
The first ruler used it to trap the Chaos Beast, the most ferocious beast in the universe. Let alone a mere Lu Jingchen, even a true ancient dragon resurrected wouldn't be able to escape its cage!
The other elders nodded in agreement, their faces showing relieved smiles.
The Star Cage is the treasure of the Star Realm, crafted from the cores of billions of stars. It can imprison all energy and souls, and no one has ever been able to escape from it.
With Mo Chenzi personally taking action, coupled with the Star Prison, Earth is doomed this time.
Three days later, Mo Chenzi led 30,000 Star Guardians and 50,000 of the most elite Star Realm warships, silently arriving in Earth's orbit. These warships were entirely black, their surfaces covered with an cloaking coating that absorbed light.
If it weren't for the True Dragon Defense Network's anti-stealth system, human radar would have been completely unable to detect their presence.
Instead of launching an attack, Mo Chenzi activated a global mental broadcast.
He addressed all of humanity in an aged yet arrogant voice:
"Listen up, you inferior beings of Earth! I am Mo Chenzi, the chief elder of the Star Realm Elder Council, and I have lived for 5.72 million years!"
Back when I led my army to conquer the Alpha system, your Earth was just a barren planet devoid of life.
When I destroyed the Arcane Kingdom, your ancestors were still living in caves, eating raw meat and drinking blood!
"I'm giving you one last hour. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. Tie up Lu Jingchen and bring him before me, offering up his true dragon bloodline! Otherwise, I will activate the Star Prison, sealing the entire Earth completely, leaving you to slowly struggle to your deaths in endless darkness, cold, and hunger!"
Before he finished speaking, Mo Chenzi raised his hand and waved it, and an enormous silver light shield appeared out of thin air in outer space.
It slowly fell towards Earth.
This light shield has a diameter of over 20,000 kilometers and its surface is covered with dense star patterns, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.
As the light shield descended, the sky on Earth began to darken, and the once bright sunlight was gradually swallowed up, as if the end of the world was imminent.
"Do you see that? This is the supreme treasure left behind by the first ruler—the Star Prison!"
Mo Chenzi's triumphant laughter echoed throughout the world.
"Once this cage closes, even planets will be slowly crushed! Lu Jingchen, if you don't want your people to die with you, then come out and face your death right now! Don't keep me waiting impatiently!"
Panic gripped the world as many people closed their eyes in despair as the silver dome of light drew ever closer in the sky.
"It's over... It's really over this time..."
"This old man is too powerful. Can Alliance Leader Lu defeat him?"
"Are we really going to be trapped here and die?"
Just then, a faint voice suddenly rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Old man, you've lived for over five million years and ended up like this. You're quite a failure. Back then, when you followed the first ruler to conquer the universe, did all you learn was to bully inferior civilizations and threaten innocent civilians?"
Lu Jingchen's figure slowly flew out of the True Dragon Warship, hovering in space, facing Mo Chenzi from afar.
He was dressed in a simple white casual outfit, and there was no energy fluctuation around him. He looked like an ordinary young man.
But his eyes were calm and profound, as if they could see through everything in the world, which made Mo Chenzi feel inexplicably uneasy.
"How dare you! You mere brat, how dare you insult this old man!"
Mo Chenzi flew into a rage, and the star power around him instantly erupted, forming a huge energy storm.
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish! Star Prison, take it!"
The silver light shield accelerated instantly, like an inverted bowl, trapping Lu Jingchen inside.
Immediately afterwards, countless silver chains extended from the inner wall of the light shield, coiling towards Lu Jingchen like venomous snakes.
These chains are crafted from the essence of stars and shimmer with runes that can imprison the soul. Once entangled, even a god-level expert cannot break free.
"Hahaha! Trapped in the Star Cage, even if you have extraordinary abilities, it's useless!" Mo Chenzi laughed triumphantly. "Now, I'll slowly drain your true dragon bloodline, letting you watch yourself become a useless cripple!"
He formed hand seals and began to activate the power of the Star Cage, attempting to extract the true dragon bloodline from Lu Jingchen's body.
However, the smile on Mo Chenzi's face froze instantly the next second.
He discovered that no matter how much power he exerted, he couldn't extract even a trace of bloodline power from Lu Jingchen's body. On the contrary, Lu Jingchen, inside the Star Cage, curled up a mocking smile.
"You think you can trap me in this broken cage? You think you can drain my lifeblood?" Lu Jingchen said calmly. "Mo Chenzi, are you getting senile? Hasn't anyone told you that the power of the True Dragon is the nemesis of the power of the Stars?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jingchen activated all the true dragon power in his body, and the eight dragon hearts beat simultaneously within him.
A deafening heartbeat resounded. Countless golden dragon shadows flew out from his body, swirling and roaring within the star cage.
These dragon shadows are formed from the pure power of true dragons, and each one possesses earth-shattering power.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
The silver chains were snapped in two by the dragon shadows, making a crisp breaking sound.
Mo Chenzi's eyes widened like saucers, his face filled with disbelief: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The Star Cage is invincible! It could even trap Chaos Beasts back then, how could it be destroyed by your broken dragon shadows?!"
"Nothing is invincible." Lu Jingchen slowly raised his fist, and golden dragon power gathered on his fist to form a huge golden dragon head. "Especially in the hands of a good-for-nothing like you who only knows how to rely on his age, even the best treasure is just a pile of scrap metal."
"True Dragon Demon-Slaying Fist!"
Lu Jingchen slammed his fist into the inner wall of the Star Prison.
"Boom—!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire solar system.
The star cage, which was said to be able to trap true gods and crush planets, instantly developed countless cracks that spread out like a spider web.
"No—! My Star Cage!" Mo Chenzi screamed in despair, trying to use his power to repair the cage, but it was all in vain.
Lu Jingchen landed another punch.
"Snap!"
The star cage shattered completely, and countless silver fragments scattered in all directions, forming a magnificent meteor shower in space.
"It's my turn."
Lu Jingchen flashed and instantly appeared in front of Mo Chenzi.
Mo Chenzi was terrified and immediately channeled all his star power, conjuring a massive star power shield in front of him. "Lu Jingchen! Don't come any closer! I am the chief elder of the Star Realm Elder Council. If you kill me, the Star Realm Lord will never let you get away with it!"
"The Lord of the Star Realm?" Lu Jingchen scoffed, slamming his fist into the Star Power Shield. "He's here? I'll still kill him!"
The Star Power Shield shattered instantly, and the enormous shockwave sent Mo Chenzi flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood.
Lu Jingchen flashed again, grabbed Mo Chenzi by the neck, and lifted him up like a chick.
"You just said you wanted to drain my true dragon bloodline to refine an elixir of immortality?" Lu Jingchen's eyes were icy cold. "Now, I'd like to see what kind of thing this old bone of yours, which has lived for over five million years, can refine."
He extended his finger and gently touched Mo Chenzi's dantian.
"puff!"
Mo Chenzi's star core, which he had cultivated for over five million years, shattered instantly, and his earth-shattering cultivation vanished into nothingness.
"Ah—! My cultivation! My star core!" Mo Chenzi let out a heart-wrenching scream, his face filled with despair and pain. "Lu Jingchen! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Fight? What do you have to fight with?" Lu Jingchen casually tossed Mo Chenzi onto the deck of a starship like trash. "Your proud star prison now belongs to me."
He raised his hand and collected the core fragment of the Star Cage. "Go back and tell your Star Lord to send someone capable next time. Don't send these old trash who have lived for millions of years. They waste my time and embarrass your Star Realm."
The 30,000 Star Guardians were terrified and dared not make a move. They quickly helped up Mo Chenzi, who was slumped on the ground and ashen-faced, and fled Earth in their warship without looking back.
The live broadcast of this battle spread all over the world, and everyone was thrilled.
"That felt so good! That old bastard was so arrogant just now, and now he's completely pathetic!"
"Five million years of cultivation, crippled in a single move by Alliance Leader Lu—what a slap in the face!"
"The Star Prison has been broken, what in the Star Realm can stop our Alliance Leader Lu!"
"Long live Alliance Leader Lu! Long live humanity!"
Mo Chenzi, who had escaped back to the Star Realm, had just returned to the Elder Council Hall.
Upon hearing the news, Lord Austin of the Astral Realm rushed to the scene and imprisoned him in the Heavenly Prison, never to be released again. The other elders of the Council of Elders were terrified and dared not volunteer for battle again.
The entire astral plane was shrouded in fear, and they finally came to their senses.
The Earth civilization that they once regarded as ants has grown into a behemoth that they cannot shake.
