Chapter 164: Pulled Into The Black Hole
“Bang!”
“Pa!”
The first one, Shi An’an dodged, and that tribulation lightning struck the black hole. The other one seemed to have targeted Shi An’an’s movements and struck straight down on her body.
“An’an!” Xiu saw the lightning strike An’an’s body, his heart tightened, and he was about to step forward.
“I’m fine!” Shi An’an endured the pain, quickly mobilized spiritual power, and recovered her body.
“Roar…”
The star beast in the black hole seemed to be unable to endure being struck, roaring incessantly at the black hole, as if warning Shi An’an.
Shi An’an gazed firmly at the tribulation lightning above her head, completely unconcerned by the pressure emanating from the black hole.
“Continue!” Shi An’an shouted loudly.
“Boom!”
Black clouds roiled, purple lightning gathering momentum within the black clouds.
“Pa!”
Two more tribulation lightning bolts came down simultaneously, and just one second before touching Shi An’an, she dodged away.
The tribulation lightning struck straight down on the black hole. The star beast inside wailed from the strike, the black hole became even more transparent, feeling like it would dissipate in the next second.
However, the others watching An’an’s movements were extremely worried.
Then, under everyone’s worried gazes, Shi An’an dodged one tribulation lightning bolt after another, though sometimes she couldn’t dodge in time and was struck on the body.
Every time a thick tribulation lightning bolt struck Shi An’an’s body, everyone closed their eyes, not daring to look straight at it.
Shi Zhen Guang’s heart ached endlessly, wishing he could go up and take the blow for his daughter.
“Boom!”
Shi An’an weakly steadied her body. At this point, her spiritual power was completely depleted, and the black hole under her feet was left with only a faint shadow. Hearing no more roaring from inside, the tribulation lightning had clearly affected it greatly as well.
In the pitch-black sky, bright lights flashed intermittently. The final tribulation lightning bolt lingered without descending, as if building up for a big move.
“Boom boom!”
Explosive thunder sounds rang out continuously as Shi An’an stared intently upward.
Xiu sensed Shi An’an’s condition and immediately leaped out of the mecha, transforming into a majestic lion.
“Pa!”
The final tribulation lightning bolt struck down, its intensity even greater than the previous ones. Everyone felt this suffocating sensation.
The tribulation lightning headed straight for the top of Shi An’an’s head. Shi An’an looked at the black hole under her feet, a flash of determination in her eyes.
However, in the next second, just as the tribulation lightning was about to strike Shi An’an, a strong figure pounced over, carrying Shi An’an away from above the black hole.
“Bang!”
The final tribulation lightning bolt struck the black hole, missing Shi An’an’s body. The black clouds above seemed unwilling, crackling noisily before finally dissipating helplessly.
“Great! We won! She succeeded!” All the soldiers cheered.
Shi An’an lay weakly on the lion’s back and said softly, “Thank you, Xiu.”
Then, the sky cleared, and five-colored lights appeared, shining down on Shi An’an’s body…
Shi An’an clearly felt her body’s injuries slowly recovering. The golden core in her dantian had turned into a tiny doll that looked exactly like her—this was her nascent soul!
She succeeded!
“Roar!”
Suddenly, just as the black hole was about to dissipate, an illusory giant beast appeared, bit down on the lion, and dragged Xiu and Shi An’an into the dissipating black hole before the black hole vanished.
“An’an!!!!”
Shi Zhen Guang saw this scene, his eyes nearly splitting, and shouted loudly.
Shi Anyu and Shi Jinbai rushed swiftly to the black hole’s position, but it was too late. The black hole had completely disappeared, and along with it, Xiu and An’an’s figures.
“Where’s An’an? Where’s An’an?” Shi Zhen Guang looked at the black hole’s position, shouting in panic.
Shi Anyu’s face was terrifyingly cold, Shi Jinbai’s face also darkened, and for a moment, everyone fell silent, praying in their hearts that the two of them would be safe!
Shi Zhen Guang’s hands trembled as he contacted his eldest son. He was going to find An’an!
“Dad, is the black hole resolved?” Shi Anfeng saw the call from Father and immediately answered.
“Send me the black hole’s position, quick!” Shi Zhen Guang urged Shi Anfeng.
Shi Anfeng frowned. “Dad, what do you need that for?”
“Never mind, just send it to me quick!”
“Right, you said before that the star beast nest is under Edge Star?”
“Dad?” Shi Anfeng sensed something was wrong with Father.
Shi Anyu walked over from the side, looking gravely at Eldest Brother. “An’an used the promotion tribulation lightning to destroy the black hole.”
Shi Anfeng’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this news, but it darkened again at his second brother’s next words.
“But in the last second before the black hole disappeared, that star beast came out and took Xiu and An’an inside. Now the two of them have vanished along with the black hole.”
Hearing this news, grief and fury flashed in Shi Anfeng’s eyes, but he forced himself to calm down. He looked at Father and his second brother and said calmly, “I’ll send you the map.”
“But I don’t recommend you enter those black holes…”
Shi Anfeng looked at Father and said seriously, “The destinations those black holes lead to haven’t been determined as fixed or random yet, and there’s also a chance of being sent to unknown planets…”
Shi Zhen Guang looked at the black hole position map sent by his son. There were black holes in both the Empire and the Federation, and his heart sank.
Shi Anlei and Shi Jinbai nearby also saw this map. Looking at the black hole positions on it, their faces were terrifyingly grim.
Shi Jinbai walked up to Liu Feng and said expressionlessly, “Notify Xu Li to have them return.
All personnel assemble and rest for one day on H11 planet, departing tomorrow morning…”
“Yes, Commander!” Liu Feng immediately notified everyone.
Shi Jinbai looked up at the slightly lightening sky, lost in thought, not knowing what to think, just staring blankly into the distance…
Here, Shi Zhen Guang and his three sons had finished communicating. In the end, they decided that Shi Zhen Guang would head to Edge Star garrisoned by the First Legion and see if there was a way to descend into the abyss there.
If…
If they really couldn’t go down, then they could only give up…
Could only wait…
Xu Li received the return message and was delighted, happily sharing the news with everyone.
“The Commander just notified that we can return to H11 planet!”
Shi Jinmo and the others were mourning the green plants on H11 when they heard this news, and their hearts filled with joy.
“Does that mean the danger is resolved?!” Shi Lele asked happily.
“It should be!” Xu Li said with a smile.
“Then why haven’t you notified the captain to turn back? The starship is still moving forward!” Shi Anlei reminded Xu Li with a face full of black lines.
Upon hearing this, Xu Li exclaimed “Oh no” and hurriedly turned to leave. He had been so excited that he forgot to notify the captain.
“Hahaha”
Everyone saw Xu Li’s panicked appearance and burst into laughter.
The danger was resolved, and their hearts finally relaxed.
Song Yun leaned by the window, looking at the approaching H11 planet, murmuring, “That’s great, we can go back…”
