Chapter 157 Astral Genius Threatens to Slaughter All Humanity!
When news of Karen's death and the annihilation of his 800,000-strong fleet reached the Astral Realm, the entire ruling class was in an uproar. In the Astral Lord's palace, the two remaining marshals—Morgan, skilled in intrigue, and Sauron, known for his brutality—were mocking Karen's portrait.
"Useless! Utterly useless! An army of 800,000 couldn't defeat a lowly civilization. They've utterly disgraced our astral realm!" Soren slammed his fist on the throne armrest, instantly reducing the hard alloy to dust. "If I were there, I could flatten the Earth in a day and twist that Lu Jingchen's head off to use as a chamber pot!"
Morgan chuckled sinisterly: "Marshal Soren, please calm down. That fool Karen underestimated the enemy and acted rashly; he deserved to die. However, that Lu Jingchen is indeed quite capable; we shouldn't underestimate him."
"Skills? Nothing but shady tricks!" Soren scoffed disdainfully. "My son, Soros, is a genius of our star realm, appearing only once every million years. He broke through to the Star God realm at the young age of three hundred, his cultivation no less than yours or mine. And then there's the Starfall Special Forces, which I personally built; each soldier is an elite force capable of taking on a hundred men. If you send my son into battle, I guarantee we'll raze Earth to the ground within three days!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a young man clad in golden armor entered. His face was handsome, but his eyes were filled with arrogance and cruelty; it was Soros. He knelt on one knee and proclaimed loudly, "Father, Marshal Morgan, please give me fifty thousand warships and fifty thousand Starfall warriors. I guarantee I will return to you within twenty-four hours with Lu Jingchen's head!"
"Good! As expected of my son!" Soren laughed heartily. "I'll give you 100,000 warships, 100,000 Starfall warriors! And my treasured Star God Armor. Wearing it, even Lu Jingchen won't be able to harm you in the slightest!"
"Thank you, Father!" Soros accepted the Star God Armor, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. "Just wait for my good news! I will pile up mountains of Earthling heads to celebrate my victory!"
Three hours later, Soros's fleet reached Earth's orbit. Instead of launching an attack, he activated global broadcasting, arrogantly addressing all of humanity:
"Listen up, you inferior beings of Earth! I am Soros, the number one genius of the Astral Plane! You have one hour to lay down your weapons, surrender, and bring Lu Jingchen to me, bound! Otherwise, I will turn your planet into cosmic dust and enslave you all!"
"I heard that Lu Jingchen is pretty good at fighting? No problem, I can crush him with one hand. If he dares to come out and fight me one-on-one, I might consider giving you a quick death; otherwise, I'll slowly torture each and every one of you to death!"
People all over the world were outraged by his arrogance.
"That's outrageous! This guy's even more arrogant than Karen!"
"Alliance Leader Lu! Kill him! Let him know how powerful we humans are!"
"The Dragon Slayer Camp is ready! We can go into battle at any time!"
Standing on the bridge of the True Dragon Warship, Lu Jingchen looked at the arrogant Soros on the screen and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "Since he's in such a hurry to die, then I'll grant his wish."
He opened his communicator and said calmly, "Soros, is it? I'll be out to see you in less than an hour. I hope you'll still be this tough then."
After saying that, Lu Jingchen leaped out of the True Dragon Warship and hovered in space.
Soros laughed loudly when he saw Lu Jingchen dare to come out alone: "Very good! You really have guts! However, your courage will soon become your grave!"
He donned the Star God Armor, wielding a golden spear, and flew before Lu Jingchen: "Prepare to die, you inferior creature!"
Before he finished speaking, he thrust his spear towards Lu Jingchen's heart. This spear was as fast as lightning, containing the full power of the Star God realm, capable of easily piercing even a small asteroid.
Lu Jingchen neither dodged nor avoided, but extended two fingers and gently pinched it.
"clang!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out.
Soros's all-out spear attack was actually held firmly in mid-air by Lu Jingchen with two fingers.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Soros's smile froze instantly, and he stared at Lu Jingchen in disbelief: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! My Star God Spear is made of cosmic adamantite, how could you possibly hold it with your fingers?!"
"Nothing is impossible," Lu Jingchen said calmly, his fingers tightening slightly.
"Snap!"
The Star Spear was instantly broken.
Lu Jingchen casually tossed aside the broken spear and punched Soros in the chest.
"The first move."
"Bang!"
The chest of the Star God Armor caved in instantly, and Soros flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood.
"Impossible! My Star God Armor is invincible!" Soros shouted frantically, struggling to get up.
Lu Jingchen flashed and instantly appeared in front of him, stepping on his back.
"The second move."
"Snap!"
Soros's spine was broken by the force of the foot, and he could no longer get up.
Lu Jingchen bent down, grabbed the helmet of the Star God Armor, and yanked it hard.
"Rip!"
The supposedly invincible Star God Armor was torn in two by him.
"No! My armor!" Soros screamed in despair.
Lu Jingchen threw the shattered armor on the ground and stomped on it until it broke.
"The third move."
He extended his finger and gently touched Soros's dantian.
"puff!"
Soros's dantian shattered instantly, and his cultivation at the Star God realm vanished into nothingness.
"Ah—! My cultivation! My cultivation!" Soros lay on the ground, weeping bitterly. "I am the number one genius in the astral realm! How could I lose to a lowly creature like you!"
Lu Jingchen looked down at him, his eyes icy: "Now, do you still think you can flatten the earth in 24 hours? Do you still think you can crush me with one hand?"
Soros trembled and dared not speak.
"Go back and tell your Star Lord," Lu Jingchen said calmly, "If you want Earth, bring your main force here yourself. Don't send these nobodies to their deaths and waste my time."
After saying that, he casually waved his hand, and a force threw Soros back into the Star Fleet.
"Get lost. If you dare come again, it won't be as simple as just crippling your cultivation."
The Starfleet soldiers were terrified. They quickly helped Soros up and fled Earth without looking back.
The live broadcast of this battle reached all corners of the globe.
Seeing the arrogant number one genius of the Star Realm cripple his cultivation in three moves and crush his proud Star God Armor, the people of the world were in an uproar.
"That felt so good! So satisfying! That was a resounding slap in the face!"
"Three moves! Only three moves! Alliance Leader Lu is amazing!"
"So much for being the number one genius in the Star Realm! He's a joke in front of Alliance Leader Lu!"
"Soros will be furious when he gets back! He's completely disgraced the Astral Plane!"
Soros, who escaped back to the Astral Plane, indeed became the laughingstock of the entire continent. The once-revered genius was now a laughingstock. Looking at his crippled son, Soren trembled with rage and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lu Jingchen! I will never forgive you!"
