The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-642

After Celeste said those words, all those five people on the opposite side of the battlefield were silent for a moment.

Celeste's words were a little hard to believe. After all, she couldn't even be considered more substantial than one of those people in that group. But even if she was stronger than Page, that group didn't only have this level 55 Spiritual King.

There were four other individuals from that same cultivation stage!

So, none of those people had believed Celeste's words. On the contrary, for them, this woman was just trying to scare them so that she wouldn't have to fight.

And they couldn't help but laugh...

"Celeste, you look very confident, eh? You seem to have settled your previous fears and even become braver..." Page commented with a smile on her face as she closed her eyes and shook her head.

She then looked at Celeste and gave an ultimatum. "Since you have cited such an alternative, I will give you the same chance. Surrender, and perhaps my family can let you live..."

"Otherwise, we will kill every single person in this place... Including you!"

After saying that, Page immediately took a fighting stance, while soon after, the four other people did the same.

"Well, if you want to die, I have nothing more to say..." Celeste commented aloud, slowly moving her hands. "Since you once helped me, I will at least give you a painless death!"

After speaking this, Celeste immediately activated two of her techniques as she began to run towards her targets.

First, she used her movement technique to be able to get close enough to those enemies to the point that they would not be able to escape the range of her techniques.

Celeste had easily managed to defeat the previous group of Spiritual Kings. Still, she knew that this one in front of her would not be so easy.

Not that they were going to have the ability to survive something like that attack that had wiped out the four Spiritual Kings from before. But maybe one or the other would be able to defend themselves and retreat in time to survive such an attack.

After all, each of those people was stronger than those four from before. So, to decrease the chances of these enemies escaping from her strongest attack, Celeste wanted to reduce the distance between her and her opponents.

But after activating this movement technique of hers, she was already circulating her energy to launch her most potent attack on those people!

She wanted to eliminate as many of those Spiritual Kings as possible at once. But, she also wanted to exterminate a large number of the enemy Spiritual Generals in the vicinity of that base.

Hence, she was sparing no effort to exterminate that group!

Stellar Destruction: Noonday Sun!

After a few moments of running around that area and circulating her energies, the large red ball of energy that had appeared earlier on this battlefield again arose here.

However, instead of putting only a third of her energy into this attack, Celeste had put in more than half of her spiritual power this time. She was intent on wiping out the enemy forces as much as possible!

Sssss!

And immediately, the ball of energy began to get bigger and bigger, passing three meters in radius, emitting a chilling sensation in every single person in the vicinity.

Such a thing looked like a small red star, with flames in its surroundings, constantly emitting a large amount of heat.

Upon seeing it and realizing how much power such a technique had, each of those Spiritual Kings stopped laughing while changing their expressions from tranquility to awe!

The change had been so drastic that it was as if some of those people had lost all the blood from their bodies in just a split second while their skins turned extremely pale.

"Oh, shit! I have to run away!" Then, without realizing it, a level 53 Spiritual King said, as he saw Celeste's figure only 30 meters away from him.

'How is this possible?'

'How can she release so much power? That's much stronger than my defenses can handle!' One of the women in that group considered, not hesitating to change her plans. 'Damn it! Damn it! I have to run, or I'm dead!'

"That can't be true!" Then, finally, Page said something as she saw that ball of energy being hurled by Celeste in the direction where she and her companions were standing.

It had all happened very fast. When these people realized Celeste's danger, this woman was already very close to them. At the same time, her technique was already almost entirely ready, flying towards them!

"Miserable! So, the blame for our previous defeat was on you!" Page shouted in fury as she activated her defense technique with everything she had while changing her position.

She knew that the technique cast by her opponent was potent, and she would probably not escape the space influenced by such a thing. As such, she had not bothered to put much of her energy into her movement technique!

After all, as much as deflecting or escaping the area of influence of any technique would be good, it would only have an effect if you could survive... And since she had no sign that she could do this in time, this woman had risked on her defenses.

"Ahhh! Come on! Come on!" She shouted in fury as a sizeable black cocoon covered her body.

Sss!

"Shit! I have to run away! Why did I go to be so close to these monsters? I still have a lot to live for!"

"Ahhh, help me! Help me! My leg is stuck!"

And then, several Spiritual Generals who were in the vicinity of that place began to scream in panic, trying with all their might to get away from that place where the Spiritual Kings were.

Ssss!

KA-BOOM!

However, the speed of Celeste's Silver-grade techniques was far superior to any of those people's techniques. Not only in terms of activation time but also the traverse speed.

Therefore, the little red star finally reached its target, a few meters above the ground where those five people were previously.

At that moment, a massive explosion made the land around that naval base shake considerably.

That had been so intense that even the soldiers and enemies who were fighting hundreds of meters away from Celeste had momentarily lost their balance and fallen to the ground!

At the same time, red flames spread about three hundred meters away from the focus of the explosion, causing hundreds of people to scream in despair as they were burned to death.

Sssss!

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

However, as much as these flames were ferocious and deadly, that was not the worst of it. The most destructive part of this technique was the effect generated by the explosion of that energy ball's core, which caused a dense wave of energy in addition to the flames, capable of disintegrating matter!

And due to this factor, of those five Spiritual Kings, three of them were utterly erased from existence in just a short fraction of a second, leaving not even a cry of pain behind.

On the other hand, the level 54 Spiritual King died instantly upon being hit by such a wave of energy, leaving only a corpse behind, which began to catch fire in the next moment.

"AHHHHH!"

Crack!

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

A sharp scream of pain spread through that area, where at the moment only ashes could be seen within three hundred meters of the focus of the explosion!

"You managed to survive that, huh?" Celeste said in shock, seeing that Page had survived, despite the heavy damage her body had sustained.

After using all her energy to defend herself, she had managed to support the worst part of Celeste's technique. And since she was the strongest in that group, when her enemy's powerful technique was losing power with each person it eliminated, Page had managed to survive!

However, after her defensive cocoon exploded into thousands of pieces and her armor was burned until it disappeared, she had suffered from the powerful flames of that attack.

So, at the moment, she was screaming in pain, feeling burns on various parts of her body.

'Well, getting a hostage isn't bad either...' Celeste assumed, just before putting out the life-threatening flames of that woman.

"Let's end this!"
