Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 116: Wrath of the Stars

"I know, I will find a way." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and said firmly, "Before that, I will first solve the hidden danger of Shadow!" A trace of worry flashed in Nan Li's beautiful eyes, but she finally chose to believe him. Lin Feng looked at the two of them with mixed feelings in his heart, but for the safety of the star field, he chose to be honest and fight side by side with them.

After discussing, the three decided to split into two groups: Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were responsible for sneaking into the Shadow Headquarters to investigate the truth, while Lin Feng used his understanding of the Shadow to provide them with intelligence support. Before leaving, Lin Feng handed Gao Xingchen a jade slip, "It contains the topographic map of the Shadow Headquarters and the information of some important people. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Gao Xingchen took the jade slip solemnly, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, we will definitely stop the conspiracy of the shadow and protect the peace of the star field!"

With the information provided by Lin Feng and their superb stealth skills, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li quietly entered the heavily guarded Shadow Headquarters. Along the way, they avoided the patrolling guards, cracked the complex mechanisms, and finally came to the deepest part of the headquarters - an ancient and mysterious hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge altar was emitting a faint light, and above the altar was floating a black crystal ball, emitting a frightening aura. This crystal ball was the ancient artifact that Shadow had been searching for - the Tears of the Stars.

"Is this the Tears of the Stars?" Gao Xingchen looked at the black crystal ball, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

"That's right," Lin Feng's voice came from the jade slip, "The Tears of the Stars possess the power to control the stars, and can give the user the power to destroy the world."

"Control the power of stars? Could it be..." Nan Li seemed to have thought of something, and his face became solemn.

"That's right," Lin Feng's voice was bitter, "The Shadow's goal is not to rule the star field, but to use the power of the Tears of the Stars to open a passage to another world..."

"Another world?" Gao Xingchen was full of doubts, "Why do we need to open a passage to another world?"

"I don't know the specific reasons," Lin Feng said in a low voice, "I only know that the world is full of dangers and unknowns. Once the passage is opened, it will bring a devastating disaster to the star field!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and saw solemnity and worry in each other's eyes. They must stop the shadow and prevent this disaster from happening!

At this moment, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and a figure in a black robe slowly walked in.

"Who is it?!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li immediately became alert.

The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pale and handsome face, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "Long time no see, Xingchen."

"It's you?!" Gao Xingchen's pupils suddenly shrank as he recognized the person. It turned out to be his good friend who used to be his brother - Zhao Wuji!

"Why are you doing this?!" Gao Xingchen looked at him in disbelief. The brotherhood they once had turned into hatred and betrayal.

"Why?" Zhao Wuji sneered, "For power, for revenge! I will make those who betrayed me pay a heavy price!"

"You're crazy!" Gao Xingchen roared, "Are you going to push the entire star field into the abyss just for your own selfish desires?!"

"The victors take the cake, and history is written by the victors," Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed with madness, "When I open the passage to another world and gain supreme power, I will be the master of the star field, and you will all become my subjects!"

“Don’t even think about it!” Gao Xingchen shouted angrily, the power of the stars surged in his body, and a war was about to break out...

Gao Xingchen roared, and the power of the stars gushed out like a volcanic eruption, instantly forming a dazzling starlight shield around him. Seeing this, Zhao Wuji's disdain grew even stronger. He formed seals with both hands, and the star tears on the altar suddenly shone brightly, and a terrifying suction force enveloped Gao Xingchen.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li exclaimed, raised her slender hand, and several cold rays shot directly at Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, easily dodged the attack, and slapped Nan Li with his backhand. Gao Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot when he saw this, and he struggled hard but couldn't get rid of the suction, and could only watch Nan Li fall into danger.

At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by, and Xiao Hei blocked Nan Li's body and took Zhao Wuji's palm. Xiao Hei let out a mournful cry, and his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. "Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen's heart was like a knife, and his anger was completely ignited. He looked up to the sky and howled, and the star power in his body circulated wildly, and the starlight around him surged, and he forcibly dispersed the suction force.

"You're looking for death!" Zhao Wuji's face changed. He obviously didn't expect Gao Xingchen to have such a strong power. Gao Xingchen ignored him and came to Xiao Hei in a flash, anxiously checking its injuries. Nan Li also rushed over, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine, I won't die." Xiao Hei said weakly, but his eyes were full of determination, "Xingchen, don't worry about me, go stop him!" Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, handed Xiao Hei to Nan Li, stood up and faced Zhao Wuji again.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nan Li shouted worriedly. Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, gave her a reassuring look, and then turned and rushed towards Zhao Wuji. The two of them fought together, and the power of the stars and the power of darkness collided violently, and the whole hall was shaking violently.

Gao Xingchen relied on his extraordinary fighting talent and control over the power of stars to resolve Zhao Wuji's attacks time and time again. Nan Li took care of Xiao Hei while looking for opportunities to attack. The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides consumed a lot of energy.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's voice came from the jade slip: "Not good, the Shadow's people are coming, you guys hurry up!" Gao Xingchen's heart sank, he knew he couldn't delay any longer, he had to stop Zhao Wuji as soon as possible. He glanced at Nan Li, his eyes firm: "I'll hold him back, you take Xiao Hei and go first!"

"No, let's go together!" Nan Li refused. She would never leave Gao Xingchen and escape alone. Gao Xingchen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nan Li: "Don't forget, our goal is to stop the shadow and protect the star field!"

Gao Xingchen knew that Nan Li was right, he took a deep breath and nodded. At this moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly roared, and the light of the Tears of the Stars on the altar surged again, and an even more terrifying force was brewing.

"Oh no, he's going to activate the Tears of the Stars ahead of time!" Lin Feng's anxious voice came. Gao Xingchen's face changed drastically. He knew he couldn't wait any longer and had to stop Zhao Wuji immediately!

He glanced at Nan Li, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and then his figure flashed, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards Zhao Wuji...

Gao Xingchen turned into a ray of starlight and rushed towards Zhao Wuji with the force of thunder. Nan Li followed closely behind him, with a cold light flashing in his hand, and went straight for the altar. Zhao Wuji was forced to retreat repeatedly by Gao Xingchen's desperate fighting style. Seeing that the two were about to rush to the altar, he let out an unwilling roar.

"Want to stop me? It's too late!"

He slammed his hands on the altar, and a destructive force erupted instantly. The entire hall shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were blown away by this force and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." Gao Xingchen struggled to stand up and looked up at the altar, only to see that the originally crystal clear Tears of the Stars had now turned blood red, emitting an eerie light. Powerful energy waves spread out from the center of the altar, impacting the entire star field.

"Oh no, the Tears of the Stars have been fully activated!" Nan Li's face was pale and his eyes were full of worry.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, forced down the surging blood in his body, and said in a deep voice: "We can't wait any longer, we must stop it immediately!"

He knew that once the Tears of the Stars erupted completely, the entire star field would be destroyed. He glanced at Nan Li, and the two exchanged a firm look. There was no need to say more, they had already understood each other.

Gao Xingchen quickly formed seals with his hands, and the star power in his body surged out crazily, condensing a vast starry sky behind him. Nan Li's figure was as fast as lightning, turning into a series of afterimages, protecting Gao Xingchen firmly behind him, and the cold light in his hands continued to radiate, dissolving the approaching energy fluctuations one by one.

"The power of the stars, the galaxy rolls back!"

Gao Xingchen roared, and the star map behind him suddenly spun, forming a huge vortex, swallowing up all the energy that erupted from the altar. Nanli seized this opportunity, and in a flash, he appeared above the altar, forming a complex seal with his hands.

"Frozen for thousands of miles!"

An extreme icy force burst out from her body, instantly freezing the entire altar, and the energy fluctuations of the Tears of the Stars also weakened. Seeing this, Gao Xingchen once again mobilized the power of the stars and sealed all the energy under the ice.

After doing all this, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were exhausted and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a more terrifying aura suddenly descended and enveloped the entire hall.

A figure wearing a black robe and a mask, with an unclear face, slowly walked out of the shadows. His voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell.

"You did a great job. You were able to stop the outbreak of the Tears of the Stars. However, this is the end of it."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li felt a sinking feeling in their hearts at the same time. They could feel that the strength of the person in front of them was far beyond their imagination, and was even several times stronger than Zhao Wuji.

A more difficult battle is about to begin...
