Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven-Chapter 374: Hopeless Situation

Blue Star, First Layer of Space.

Crush!

Boom!

Two streaks of light clashed violently across the starry sky, one blue and one red. They matched intensity and speed for only a split second before the red completely overpowered the blue, sending the blue streak crashing violently to the ground below.

"Weak." His cold voice rang through the air, directed at Luca, who had just smashed into the earth.

"Kurgh." Luca coughed up a mouthful of blood and glared at the streak of red hovering above him.

"Not good! Luca has fallen!" Origin Light Sera cried out with a grim look on her face.

It was not even a competition. The person they were fighting was a legendary 5th Rank being. Who on the Blue Star could actually fight such an existence?

Origin Light Sera summoned her domain force, unleashing her 4th Rank technique, Origin Light.

However, the red figure in the sky deflected it easily with a wave of his hand.

"Looks like the people of the Blue Star are still as persistent as ever." The 5th Rank expert appeared before Sera. He was a man with a goatee, wearing a high-class robe that looked to be woven from expensive, otherworldly materials.

"The language you all speak comes from my planet. Hence, shouldn’t you all fall under my Crimson Core Planet Federation?"

Seeing this, Sera immediately used Space Law to put some distance between herself and the expert.

"Maybe it is the exact opposite."

Just then, another voice tore through the sky.

Several figures flashed from the other side of the Blue Star. The one who spoke was Yin Matriarch Luna.

Luca, who was injured on the ground, sat up straight seeing the newcomers.

"Luna, Wang Bao, Grand Polarity Master, Bai Yue," Luca muttered with a deep frown. He shifted his gaze toward the woman standing next to them. "And Lia."

Bai Yue, Lia, Little Hong, Wang Bao, Yin Matriarch Luna, and the Grand Polarity Master stood firmly in the air.

"Hey, Lia. Are you sure you can handle this? You just reached the 4th Rank," Yin Matriarch Luna said, glancing at Lia.

"I know what I am capable of." Lia calmly returned the glance.

"Suit yourself," Luna shrugged.

"I will also assist Miss Lia," Bai Yue suddenly added.

"Do not call me Miss Lia, Bai Yue. Just call me Sister Lia," Lia said, shaking her head softly.

"You are Lord Grey’s wife. I wouldn’t dare," Bai Yue replied quickly and respectfully.

"No? What are you saying?" Lia’s air of a transcendent expert immediately crumbled, a shade of crimson rushing to her cheeks.

The Grand Polarity Master coughed and spoke seriously.

"Everyone, we have much more important matters at hand right now."

"Yeah, Bai Yue. Focus on the enemy," Lia said with twitching lips.

"What is this? Are these the strongest people of the Blue Star?" the invader sneered.

Suddenly, several more streaks of light shot out from the void above. Immediately, the battlefield was dyed in dense, suffocating killing intent as nearly twenty foreign 4th Rank beings descended.

The experts of the floating city immediately turned deathly pale.

"To deal with the likes of you, I do not even need to act," the 5th Rank being declared.

Right as he spoke, more streaks of light tore through the horizon. Sensing the foreign auras invading the Blue Star, the native 4th Rank experts from the lower regions could no longer sit still and rushed to the frontlines.

Yet, the entirety of all 4th Rank experts native to the Blue Star combined only amounted to eighteen. Worse still, their auras were far weaker than the terrifying presences looking down from the sky.

It was not a battle anymore. It was an execution.

"You... Just who are you?" Suddenly, Luca shot up from the ground, entirely enraged.

"Who gave you permission to enter my planet?" Luca screamed, pointing a trembling finger at the sky. "Do you know who I am? I am the absolute ruler here!"

"What is wrong with you?" The 5th Rank being raised a brow. Had this native lost a few screws in his head?

"How can this be happening?" Luca chuckled weakly, his face twisting into an ugly mix of confusion and rising panic. "This makes no sense at all."

"First it was Leon, and now because of some damned woman, the chaos seal was lifted!" Luca stomped his foot heavily on the cracked ground. "And now the other planets have found us!"

He whipped his head around, glaring venomously at Bai Yue and Lia.

"It is because of you two!" Luca snapped, his voice cracking loudly in the tense air. "You ruined absolutely everything!"

"How are you going to fix this? My empire is going to be ripped away because you damned women decided to play hero and take away the seals!"

"I was supposed to ascend peacefully! I had it all meticulously planned out, and you destroyed my perfect empire!" Luca continued to rant, his face flushed with helpless rage.

At the same time, the other native 4th Rank experts turned their gazes toward Bai Yue and Lia. What Luca said was not entirely wrong.

Their movements were known to all of the Blue Star. Their actions had been heavily frowned upon from the start. Everyone knew tampering with the Chaos Seals invited grave problems, fully aware of the curse it had placed upon the entire world.

And now, with them stripping away the majority of the seals, the planet was fully exposed to the cosmos. Now, they were all forced to face the brutal consequences.

The true descension of a 5th Rank being.

"He is not wrong," Wang Bao, who stood within the crowd, suddenly spoke up.

"You were far too hasty, Bai Yue and Lia," Wang Bao said with a slightly angered look.

"I know you newly ascended to the 4th Rank, but you were too naive. You did not look at the grander picture at all before deciding to break those chaos seals."

"And now that things have devolved into this state, there is nothing left for us to do."

"Nothing other than to fight a 5th Rank being to the death," Wang Bao added, his tone trembling slightly.
