Chapter 817 Miscalculation
On Mining Star No. 2, the underground space that had been torn apart by more than a dozen martial god auras was now instantly filled with an even more terrifying and domineering dark golden spear intent.
Jiang Yunhe, who was still roaring wildly and trying to rush towards the starport, suddenly stopped moving, as if he had been locked in place by some kind of divine will.
He looked up, and his old face, which had been filled with madness and still held a sliver of hope for escape, turned ashen the instant he saw the phantom in the sky.
"No...this is impossible!"
Jiang Yunhe stared intently at the figure holding a dark gold spear, standing with his hands behind his back, and let out a final, piercing scream:
"That's his divine consciousness clone! It's a monitoring node left behind on the mining planet by his true self! How could he possibly have such a powerful interstellar will manifest on the interstellar battlefield?!"
"It's fake! He must be faking it! Everyone, join forces and break through this illusion! Once we break through this moment, we'll be completely free!!"
"Lin Qiye, you madman, you think you can stop more than a dozen of us Martial Gods with just an illusion? Die!!"
however.
Lin Qiye, who was suspended in mid-air, didn't even glance at them.
His right arm trembled slightly, and in an instant, it burst forth with a dazzling light that made even the stars pale in comparison.
"The Perfected Realm of the 'Great Void Annihilation Spear'!"
Lin Qiye's voice was deep and cold, like a judgment from the deepest hell, echoing endlessly in the dark underground mine.
"boom--!!!"
The instant that shot was fired.
There were no fancy moves, only absolute violence that seemed to freeze time and space.
A ring of dark gold ripples spread wildly downwards from the tip of the spear.
The madness on the faces of Jiang Yunhe and the others, who were roaring and charging forward, instantly turned into extreme fear the moment they came into contact with that spear intent.
It was a powerful force that they could not comprehend at all, and could not even muster the thought of resisting it.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Under the crushing force of that terrifying gunfire.
A mid-level martial god from the Jiang family who was originally at the forefront didn't even have time to scream before his body was forcibly crushed as if by some invisible millstone, disintegrating and exploding in a fraction of a second.
Next came the second place, then the third place...
Faced with that devastating spear light, the so-called "Martial God's Golden Body" was so fragile it was practically a joke.
"No! Please spare my life!! I'll keep digging! I'm willing to dig until I die!!"
As Jiang Yunhe watched his companions turn into golden pieces of flesh flying everywhere, the despair of witnessing death come before his eyes caused his will, which was almost on the verge of becoming an interstellar war god, to completely collapse at this moment.
He wanted to beg for mercy, to kneel down, to pick up that dark gold pickaxe again.
but.
Lin Qiye gave them a chance.
"Bang--!!!"
With a final, earth-shattering explosion.
The twelve martial gods of the Jiang and Ji families who were trying to escape forced labor, along with their hundreds of years of hard work and ambition, were completely transformed into twelve pools of golden blood that were writhing wildly in the depths of the pit under the sweep of the dark golden spear.
The once riotous mining area fell into a deathly silence once more.
Only that figure remained, coldly gazing down at the ruins below. The aura of authority that surpassed all living beings caused all the mining slaves on Mining Star Two to kneel in terror, not daring to even lift their heads.
……
In a deep underground pit.
The smoke and dust gradually subsided, but the destructive intent of that shot still lingered in the air.
The twelve martial gods, who had been shattered into golden blood, were reforming themselves in the bottomless ruins, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of bones grinding together.
Jiang Yunhe was the first to kneel on the ground, vomiting mouthfuls of blood streaked with gold.
His aged and sinister face was now contorted with extreme fear and remorse.
"Master...Master, spare me!!"
His voice was extremely hoarse, and he no longer possessed any of the demeanor of the Second Elder of the Jiang family. He had even completely abandoned the composure he usually feigned.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
He frantically kowtowed on the hard ore, and blood quickly blurred his vision.
"This old servant knows his mistake! This old servant has been bewitched! If only my master would spare my life, this old servant would gladly dig up this planet for you for all eternity!!"
In the void, Lin Qiye's figure did not disappear. His dark purple eyes were devoid of any emotion, as cold as an emotionless statue.
"From today onwards, none of you will have time to rest."
Lin Qiye's voice echoed throughout the entire mine, carrying an undeniable judgment:
"Every moment, every second, you have to dig in these deep mine tunnels where gravity is doubled."
"This is your punishment for attempting to escape labor."
"If you are treated with disrespect, the pickaxe will transform into my spear, making you wish you were dead."
As the verdict was handed down, the dark golden figure slowly dissipated into the air.
……
Dead silence.
In a suffocating silence, Jiang Yunhe collapsed helplessly onto the cold pile of rubble.
His eyes, which had been bloodshot with madness, gradually regained their rationality, followed by a deep, belated sense of horror.
"The family... the eldest elder and the others are lying to me!"
Jiang Yunhe gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into the flesh of his palm.
Why is Lin Qiye heading to the interstellar battlefield...?
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the figure had disappeared, his pupils contracting sharply.
"The power of that shot just now, that absolutely overwhelming destructive will... that wasn't some ethereal divine clone! That was the true body descending with one hundred percent of its power!!"
An extremely terrifying conclusion, one that sent chills down his spine, instantly took shape in his mind.
"Lin Qiye... he possesses the divine-level talent of creating clones!"
"The one who remained on the mining planet to oversee things is the truly terrifying main body! The one who went to the interstellar battlefield, attracting everyone's attention with great fanfare, was merely a deceiving clone!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunhe felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought he had seen through Lin Qiye's scheme and that he had obtained the truth.
No wonder Jiang Yulan fell for him, no wonder Ji Changyue submitted...
However, this truth brought him an even deeper sense of despair.
Because he discovered that even if he knew all this now, he still couldn't send the message back to the Jiang family on the main star.
In that relentless, super-intense miner's work, he will become an integral part of this planet until the day it is exhausted.
"Dig...keep digging..."
Jiang Yunhe mechanically picked up the cracked dark gold pickaxe. His face, filled with regret and fear, no longer showed any trace of the arrogance he once had as an elder of the founding family.
