Chapter 561: Gu Li’s death

After reporting his coordinates to Lu Ming, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally didn’t want to die.

After these two behemoths chased his fleet again, he started feeling despair.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, their reinforcements have finally arrived in the seventh heaven.

“Send a message to the fleet immediately. We must hold on for half an hour, the reinforcements are coming.”



Gu Li shouted loudly at the people in the control center. With their current state, they certainly will not last so long in the face of the attack of these two behemoths.

But if they flee while holding formation and fighting with these two behemoths. The situation will be very different, they will last much longer.

Now, the fleet needs a backbone more than ever, that’s why Gu Li decided to pass the news to the fleet.

“What, our reinforcements are coming?!”

“We’re Saved!”

As expected, flames of hope sprang up in the eyes of the crew after receiving the news.

“Brothers, cheer up!”



The captains of almost every ship started cheering their crew.

“Commander Gu Li said that the reinforcement will arrive in about half an hour!”



“Everyone holds on! as long as the reinforcements arrive, we will be rescued.”



“Commander Gu Li said that there are ships from the fourth heaven amongst the reinforcements this time!”



After receiving the news, the fleet finally started restoring orders. With hope, every ship took position and restored the defensive formation, simultaneously defending against the giant serpent and counter-attacking while retreating.

In the distance, Fang Yun keenly noticed the fleet’s change. A gleam of light flashed across his giant eyes.

“The fleet’s spirit has been restored.”



Fang Yun muttered internally. He started wondering what could have caused this change and quickly came up with a guess.

“It seems that they have found a backbone or reliance. What is it? Another reinforcement?”



The only reason why this fleet could resurrect from the brink of despair is that another wave of reinforcements is coming, but Fang Yun didn’t care. Anyway, it won’t be any different from before, the new reinforcement will end in his stomach as well.

They will only provide him with bio-energy and help him increase his reputation value.

However, to be on the safe side, he invaded the network system of one of the battleships to detect the precise news.

“The reinforcements will arrive here in half an hour?”

“Furthermore, amongst the incoming fleet, there are powerful ships from the fourth heaven?”

Fang Yun was very surprised. No wonder they became so excited. The reinforcements are very prepared this time.

“The fourth heaven?”

Fang Yun was curious. He didn’t know much about this heaven, because there was little information about it in the seventh heaven archives.

They have very little contact with it.

However, according to the information he gathered, this heaven is much stronger and much more advanced than the fifth heaven. It’s on a whole other level. Fang Yun looked solemn and excited at the thought of fighting against such a behemoth.

“In this case, I should quickly deal with this fleet first.”

Murderous intentions flashed across Fang Yun’s heart. He launched a mad attack at the allied fleet. He didn’t even consider defense this time.

“Damn it, why did this monster become so aggressive?”

In the control center of the distant command ship. Gu Li watched the giant serpent suddenly go mad. It didn’t even bother to dodge their attacks anymore, jumping around and launching various destructive attacks, destroying and devouring countless spaceships.

“It seems that this giant serpent is aware of something.”

Gu Li quickly analyzed the cause of the matter. He had an extremely gloomy expression. For a wise and experienced creature like the giant serpent, it shouldn’t be hard for it to realize something from the actions of the fleet.

It had experienced an unknown number of battles after all.

“Gu Li, how is your situation now?”

A few moments later, Lu Ming’s figure appeared in the holographic projection again. He decided to periodically check on the situation of the allied fleet to prevent accidents.

“What happened? Has the situation deteriorated?”

Seeing the gloomy expression on Gu Li’s face, Lu Ming immediately asked with an expression of concern.

“Gu Li, hold one for a while, we’re rushing over.”

“Lu Ming, hurry up. If you come too late, you will collect our destroyed battleships at most!”

Even inside the hyperspace, speed is limited. Without sufficient strong materials and energy defenses, a certain spaceship can only maintain a certain speed limit, exceeding that limit will cause certain damage to the ships.

“Gu Li… It seems that I have to hurry up.”

Lu Ming shook his head. He naturally can’t watch his best friend die like this.

Although exceeding the speed limit will damage the ship, it doesn’t mean that the damage will be great enough to scrap the ship. It just means reducing its service time.

This time, they are mainly relying on the fourth heaven ships, so it doesn’t matter if the rest of the ships get slightly damaged.

“Lu Ming, thank you so much…”

Gu Li stood in front of the projection and expressed his gratitude to Lu Ming. However, his expression changed abruptly, forcing him to swallow the rest of the words he intended to say.

A look of horror appeared on Gu Li’s face.

“Gu Li! Gu Li!!!”

Seeing the changes on Gu Li’s face, Lu Ming immediately knew that things were bad. He shouted loudly at Gu Li, trying to draw his attention.

However, Gu Li seemed frozen at that moment, his soul seemed to leave his body. He couldn’t respond to Lu Ming’s shouts at all.

At this moment, Gu Li could only watch the giant serpent on the holographic screen.

He stared right at those continent-sized eyes and at the approaching scarlet mouth. In his last moments of life, he couldn’t say anything in the end, leaving life with wide eyes frozen in fear.

Their command ships had no time to dodge. It was quickly swallowed by the giant serpent, unable to provoke any wave in the end.

“Commander Gu Li was eaten by the giant serpent!!”

This scene was recorded by many ships. Most of them were stunned by this scene. The hope that has just risen was extinguished and the fleet that just managed to restore order became disorderly again.

“Gu Li! Gu Li!!!”

On the other side, Lu Ming roared hoarsely as he looked at the screen in front, but he already understood that the situation had changed drastically.

He saw the last picture of the giant serpent leaping on Gu Li’s command ship.

“That damn beast!”

Lu Ming’s eyes become bloodshot. He clenched his fist with hatred as he shouted loudly.

“I must personally skin you!”

His fist creaked due to the extreme force. Even the air around him was slightly distorted.

“Commander, should we speed up again?”

Suddenly, an officer beside Lu Ming said.

Lu Ming frowned as he pondered. After a while, he shook his head and said. Anger didn’t dazzle his mind.

“No, continue moving forward at the current speed.”

Even though he said this, the look of anger and hatred on his face didn’t change in the slightest.

Gu Li is a friend he grew with from childhood. Even after hundreds of years, their relationship is still very good.

“Gu Li, don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you!”

Lu Ming took a deep breath, then walked to the side, preparing a battle plan.

On the other side, after eating the command ship, Fang Yun quickly chased the crazy and terrified spaceships. Without their formation, hunting became much easier.

It wasn’t just him, even the giant turtle started attacking the escaping spaceships.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

In space, countless spaceships exploded, bursting out with brilliant light then disappearing in place.

“A few escaped, but it doesn’t matter.”

Fang Yun finally stopped the hunt. Most of the spaceships have been eaten or destroyed by him and the giant turtle. A few escaped but he didn’t bother to chase it.

Moreover, in this dangerous heaven, it’s very dangerous for a single or few spaceship to wander on their own.

Whether it’s the external environment or star beasts and pollutants, the seventh heaven and up are countless times more dangerous than the ninth heaven.

The two behemoths gathered together, then headed towards a certain direction under Fang Yun’s leadership.

And in that direction, the seventh heaven regional council was located.

This time, Fang Yun is planning to deal with this council. One of the leading forces that started the hunt against him.

Fang Yun crossed the hyperspace most of the time. He returned to the material space only when passing next to stars. Seven days later, Fang Yun finally reached the target starfield.

This starfield is obviously heavily guarded. There are dozens of small bases surrounding it. Each base has countless powerful Battlestars and giant planetary fortresses around them.

However, without much hesitation, Fang Yun rushed towards that starfield.

The moment he appeared, countless eye-catching alarms rang in the starfield.

These alarms ring only when a foreign enemy invades.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

The Battlestars all started moving at this moment. Their barrels quickly locked Fang Yun.

It wasn’t just these Battlestars. Battleships, space fighters, and all kinds of fighting weapons flew out from the base and swarmed towards Fang Yun.

“Whoosh!”

Hundreds of thousands of battleships and space fighters took the lead, followed by hundreds of Battlestars behind.

Fang Yun moved towards them without even flinching. Both he and the defense fleet got closer and closer.

A few seconds later, the two sides finally collided. Whether it’s the Battlestars or the battleships, they didn’t hesitate to launch countless attacks towards Fang Yun.

The moment these attacks approached Fang Yun, they were deflected by a strange space field. Some of them were even thrown back at the fleet after flying around Fang Yun, just like a satellite.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Because of this, some ships and space fighters were destroyed before Fang Yun even launched an attack.

Despite being slightly amused by this, Fang Yun didn’t hesitate to launch a counterattack.

Whether it’s “Antimatter Bomb”, “Gamma-Ray Burst”, or “Devouring the Heavens”. They all are extremely powerful attack skills. Fang Yun was able to easily suppress the defense fleet with them.

As soon as the fleet appeared, he destroyed almost a quarter of it, which is extremely shocking.

The originally relatively clustered fleet wasn’t able to maintain the formation and started to disperse, preparing to use another method to block Fang Yun’s invasion.

Unfortunately, the attack power of the fleet isn’t enough to stop him. Fang Yun solicited the help of the giant turtle and used space-shrinking skills to pass right through the fleet. In the end, the first line of défense wasn’t able to stop them for even a minute.

On the way, Fang Yun encountered many battleships and fleets, all of which attacked the two of them.

“Rumble! Rumble!”

Countless ships exploded on Fang Yun’s path, soon after, he passed through all of them and headed towards the depths of the starfield.

“This is… the giant serpent!”

On a certain planet, in a conference room, a group of people sat on their seats and watched a holographic projection in the middle of the room.

On the holographic projection, with the starry sky as a background, an extremely big serpent was bulldozing across countless battleships and défense mechanisms, leaving behind giant explosions.

The attack of the battleships and the defense mechanism couldn’t play any role in stopping the giant serpent. Even if they could occasionally injure the serpent, these injuries healed soon after.

“It’s coming! It’s coming!!”

In the conference room, a person suddenly cried loudly. He had a sad and angry expression on his face.

Other people also looked terrified.

These people are all high-level leaders in the seventh heaven. Either the head of an intergalactic empire or the head of a certain alliance.

They have tremendous power in their hands. Every word and deed of theirs can determine the fate of an ordinary civilization, but now they could only helplessly nest in this conference room, as timid as a rat.

“What should we do now?”

“Those rubbish can’t stop that monster at all.”

“God, God, please come and save your people!”

“After hundreds of years, am I finally going to die in this place?”

“I shouldn’t have come! What kind of shit meeting! If I knew this, I wouldn’t have gotten out of my palace!”

“Damn, my 50 wives are waiting for me, I don’t want to die!”

In the meeting room, all of the ‘High-class leaders’ were in a crazy state. After a while, a pair of eyes suddenly shined, looking at an old man sitting in the leading seat.

“Sir, please tell us, what should we do now?”

“Yes, Lord Speaker, do you have any idea? You should have a hidden escape route?”

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room looked at the old man, and as a response, the old man slowly stood up.

Everyone looked at him with hope.
