As Jia Yan issued the order, Wu Ci power’s battleships shot out like arrows leaving the bowstring!

These battleships had suffered some damage during Wu Ci power’s previous defensive battle, yet now they were still mobilized. Among them, apart from the four battleships of the Adisa, these were the last remaining functional battleships of Wu Ci power.

Within these few battleships were the strongest fighters Wu Ci power could muster.

Among them, there was only one Semi-permanent Star Level Behalf, while the others were at subordinate levels.

They piloted their battleships and charged forth ferociously.

The fleeing geniuses of Er Tian’s forces were individuals far superior to Wu Ci’s geniuses, with some among them even being Semi-permanent Star Geniuses. If they turned back to retaliate, Wu Ci’s forces wouldn’t stand a chance.

But with Jia Yan’s intervention, these geniuses didn’t even dare to counterattack. If anyone dared to reveal even the slightest hint of resistance, Jia Yan would instantly traverse through layers of space to appear beside them and strike them down!

As a result, the entire scene transformed into a one-sided slaughter!

“Run! Run!”

“That Jia Yan is terrifying.”

One by one, the geniuses fled in panic.

Jia Yan didn’t intend to exterminate all of Er Tian’s geniuses. His goal was simply to make this faction vanish entirely.

If he truly slaughtered too many genius creatures, it might provoke intervention from the officials of the Genius Battlefield, which would be troublesome.

“That’s not right!”

As one Semi-permanent Star Genius fled, he abruptly halted his flight.

This Semi-permanent Star Genius seemed to have come to a realization, then turned around with a flash of ferocity in his eyes.

“Jia Yan! Don’t push it too far. Now, I’m giving you a solemn warning. You must leave some goodwill for my Er Tian’s forces. You must understand—our faction cannot be wiped out because we have a powerful force backing us!”

He stared at Jia Yan from dozens of kilometers away, seemingly emboldened by this thought.

“Oh?”

Jia Yan heard the genius’s voice from afar and suddenly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Semi-permanent Star Genius.

The genius’s expression changed dramatically upon seeing Jia Yan’s sudden appearance, his face pale as he took a step back in dread.

However, Jia Yan didn’t attack him directly.

“You claim there’s a powerful faction behind your Er Tian’s forces?” Jia Yan asked coldly.

“That’s right! Our faction is but a branch subsidiary under Elong Power in the 132 Star Zone. If you dare to destroy us, Elong Power will never forgive you!”

Bolstered by the thought of his powerful backing, the Semi-permanent Star Genius’s voice grew louder with confidence.

“Is Elong Power a strong force?” Jia Yan wanted to laugh but refrained.

“Of course. If Elong Power acts, they could effortlessly sweep through the entire 251 Star Zone. If not for official regulations, they would have long since unified vast areas of the Starry Sky.”

The Semi-permanent Star Monster noticed Jia Yan’s strange demeanor and thought it must be due to fear of Elong Power’s reputation.

But just as he opened his mouth to say more, he saw a flicker in front of him—a blurred shadow streaked past!

In the Starry Sky, a splash of blood sprayed forth.

“You…” The Semi-permanent Star Genius stared in terror at the wound on his chest, trying to utter something.

Jia Yan had actually acted against him even after he mentioned the powerful faction behind him? He couldn’t understand; even if Jia Yan didn’t know of Elong Power, shouldn’t he at least show some caution?

“Sorry, but the Elong Power you speak of—I don’t fear them at all. In fact, they might even fear me.” Jia Yan’s calm voice echoed in his ears.

And that voice became the last sound the Semi-permanent Star Genius ever heard.

As a genius of Er Tian’s forces, each individual bore the attention of countless beings. Yet in this battle led by Jia Yan, many such luminaries were extinguished.

Even several Semi-permanent Star Geniuses were slain. To think that these geniuses, who could effortlessly defeat ordinary Semi-permanent Star creatures in lesser factions, held garrison-level authority in weaker powers.

Jia Yan felt no remorse in killing them.

He had come to understand that in the Universe Starry Sky, strength is forged through the corpses of countless lives.

Besides, it had been Er Tian’s forces who were in the wrong in the first place.

The carnage and rout continued unabated.

The creatures of Wu Ci’s forces, rather than slaughtering, were more accurately driving their opponents away. Most of Er Tian’s fleeing geniuses were too powerful for Wu Ci’s troops to defeat, so they simply escaped.

Finally, the entire battle drew to a close.

“Jia Yan, in this battle, our Wu Ci power didn’t lose a single genius, but besides the ones you killed, Er Tian’s forces didn’t lose many either.” Behalf approached Jia Yan, his body covered in injuries.

Having used the reward materials provided by Jia Yan earlier, he had recovered significantly. In the previous battle, apart from Jia Yan, he had slain the most enemies.

Though Wu Ci power hadn’t inflicted massive casualties on their foes overall, it had still crushed Er Tian’s forces, the long-standing number one power of the Star Zone. This outcome brought unparalleled satisfaction to Wu Ci’s forces.

“Alright, let’s leave the remaining escaped Er Tian members to neighboring factions. I’m sure they’d happily handle the cleanup for us. Now, let’s see what treasures Er Tian left behind,” Jia Yan said, smiling nonchalantly as he flew toward the still-defended Er Tian celestial body.

The defenses of this celestial body had already been heavily utilized, much of it having been employed against Jia Yan. But with his profound Space Talent, their weaponry hadn’t been able to harm him, leading to a one-sided destruction.

“Jia Yan!”

As Jia Yan approached the Er Tian celestial body, a voice reached his ears.

Jia Yan turned his gaze to see in the Starry Sky, over a thousand kilometers away, a shadow resembling a wolf creature faintly appearing.

It turned out to be Wolf Star, previously regarded as the strongest entity in the 251 Star Zone!

“Wolf Star, you’ve been watching our battle all along without intervening. Now you’re showing up—are you here to claim a share of the spoils?”

Jia Yan didn’t seem surprised by his arrival and asked indifferently.

“I wouldn’t dare. I only want to ask—now that you’ve destroyed Er Tian’s forces, do you intend to let Wu Ci power claim the title of the number one faction in the 251 Star Zone?”

Wolf Star asked, deliberately avoiding any trace of contempt in his expression.

He had observed the entire battle and was profoundly shaken by Jia Yan’s formidable power.

In reality, Wolf Star wasn’t so righteous himself. Previously, he had protected Wu Ci power merely as a strategic move to collectively oppose Er Tian’s faction. When Er Tian attacked Wu Ci, he had known in advance but chose not to act, deeming it unwise to escalate into a full-scale war for Wu Ci’s sake.

But he hadn’t anticipated Jia Yan’s powerful comeback at Wu Ci’s moment of crisis, overturning the situation and crushing the once-dominant Er Tian faction entirely!

Now, he had no choice but to show up to gauge Jia Yan’s intentions. If Jia Yan coveted the top position for Wu Ci power, he’d lower his ambitions. But if Jian Yan had no such designs, he’d start preparing his moves.

“No, Wolf Star. You know I won’t remain in the 251 Star Zone for long, and Wu Ci power isn’t fit for the top spot either. If you desire the title of the number one faction, you can have it. But you must treat Wu Ci power with the utmost respect. If I ever hear of Wu Ci power facing any difficulties while I’m in the Central Starry Area, I’ll come back to deal with it. You understand me, right?”

Jia Yan shook his head, clearly uninterested in the title of the number one faction and declining to push Wu Ci power into that position.

“You’re going to the Central Starry Area?!” Wolf Star’s entire body trembled upon hearing Jia Yan’s words.

He stared at Jia Yan in disbelief as his gaze shifted up and down.

The Central Starry Area, to genius creatures from the border regions, was akin to a mythical realm. Though they shared the Genius Battlefield, the disparity between the Central and Border Starry Areas was like heaven and earth.

Wolf Star had once dreamed of reaching the Central Starry Area but knew he could never get there. It wasn’t just a matter of distance; he understood that he would be nothing but an insignificant figure there—if even that.

Yet now, he heard Jia Yan speak of heading to the Central Starry Area?

“Of course. Despite only being in the late stage of the Honored One level, he can fight countless Semi-permanent Star geniuses, a feat I can’t even imagine achieving. Surely someone like him could thrive in the Central Starry Area,”

Wolf Star thought of Jia Yan’s promising future and suddenly felt that his own scheming for supremacy in the 251 Star Zone seemed laughable, leaving him momentarily dispirited.

After hurriedly discussing some details and agreeing to terms regarding the protection and support of Wu Ci power, Wolf Star’s figure gradually faded into the Starry Sky.

“Wolf Star has left?”

Behalf appeared beside Jia Yan, seemingly out of nowhere.

“Yes. Wu Ci power has no more threats. As long as he doesn’t hear news of me leaving the Genius Battlefield or dying, he won’t dare show any disrespect toward Wu Ci power.” Jia Yan nodded in confirmation.

“Jia Yan… thank you.”

Behalf glanced at Jia Yan and expressed his gratitude.

He seemed to have many things he wanted to say, but at this moment, he couldn’t find the words.

“Haha, the wealth of Er Tian’s forces doesn’t hold much value to me. You take it, Senior Behalf. I’ll be leaving now.”

Jia Yan laughed freely before turning to face Behalf and speaking.

“Won’t you say goodbye to them? The little prince from the Luoci Empire who accompanied you is constantly thinking of you,” Behalf sighed.

“No, that’s just my nature. I’ve traveled through many places and forgotten many people. Instead of leaving everyone feeling awkward, it’s better to leave without farewell,” Jia Yan replied with a shake of his head.

Behalf shook his head in agreement: “Indeed, there are many things worth remembering in life, but there are also many things we miss. Living freely is not a bad way to live. Jia Yan, I wish you all the best on your journey ahead. May you achieve what I dare not even dream of… becoming Stellar Level one day!”
