Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

However...

Mo Chou let out a cold snort and took a step forward. A powerful pressure instantly emanated from him.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Mo Chou shouted, his voice resonating across the entire Life Planet, fueled by the power of Qi Blood.

Despite this, there were still some people who, driven mad by fear, ignored Mo Chou's command and made a desperate dash towards the interstellar ships.

It was as if even a moment's delay would mean certain death.

Seeing this, Mo Chou's expression grew even more severe.

"Line up! One at a time!"

"Women, children, and the elderly first!"

Mo Chou roared, and with a wave of his hand, he caught those who were frantically running toward the ships mid-air.

This action naturally cowed many, and countless eyes now looked at Mo Chou with a trace of fear.

Fortunately, no one dared to act recklessly again, trampling over their fellow men.

The scene fell into a rare calm.

This calm, however, did not last long. Under the shroud of impending death and darkness, Mo Chou's deterrence could not completely suppress the chaos.

"I beg you, grant me a spot. I don't want to become food for those monsters!"

Someone knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to the staff of the Forging Star System, desperate to secure a place on the ships and escape this doomed place.

Others desperately lifted their children high in the air, yelling: "Please, let my child leave first. I can stay, but please save my child. I beg of you!"

The interstellar ships were limited, and these civilians, still reeling from the terror of the Void Insect Race, were finally seeing a glimmer of hope, leading to various states of desperation.

This familiar scene weighed heavily on Lu Sheng's heart.

"Sigh!"

Lu Sheng sighed, taking out his Heaven-Reaching Ship, signaling to some that they could board his interstellar ship.

Even though Lu Sheng had decided the outcome of the Tier Six Battlefield, when it came to saving and evacuating these lives, he could only do so much. After all, his power was ultimately limited.

Despite Lu Sheng's efforts, his Heaven-Reaching Ship seemed like a drop in the ocean compared to the billions of lives.

Time slowly passed as Lu Sheng tirelessly transported batches of civilians to safer planets. Meanwhile...

The Tier Seven Battlefield, under the control of the Devouring Realm Empress, began to unfold.

A section of the Cosmic Void Land of Annihilation was designated as the Tier Seven Battlefield.

However, as the battlefield opened, some Life Planets belonging to the Ascension Factions were enveloped by the Empress's purple radiance.

With the purple radiance shrouding them, the inhabitants of those Life Planets had no chance of escape.

This... was also part of the wager!

When the battlefield opened, those designated Life Planets would also be sealed by the Empress.

Once sealed, there would be no rescue or escape.

The fate of the civilians and lower-tier Transcendents would hinge solely on the battle's outcome!

If they lost!

The civilians on the sealed Life Planets would become hosts for the Void Insect Race.

If they won!

All would be safe and sound.

In essence... the future and lives of these ordinary people were in the hands of the Transcendents on the battlefield.

Lu Sheng saw Liu Yao stepping into the Tier Seven Battlefield.

"Is Senior Sister going to make her move?"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, showing no worry as he watched Liu Yao enter the battlefield.

After all, Lu Sheng knew very well that Liu Yao's power was far beyond what she seemed capable of.

And since Liu Yao had said she could secure the Tier Seven Battlefield, she definitely would.

With that in mind, Lu Sheng stopped paying attention to the battle, focusing instead on transporting the civilians.

...

In the Tier Seven Battlefield.

Liu Yao walked through the Cosmic Void, her expression calm, with a majestic vitality radiating from her.

Like an Empress standing above the cosmic galaxy, raising her hands and feet, there was a presence of Power of Dominance permeating the void.

The Void Insect Race of Tier Seven had no power to resist her.

With a wave of her hand, Liu Yao completely subdued them!

In an instant, Liu Yao's prowess, like Lu Sheng's before, drew the attention of countless people.

"Isn't this... the new tutor from Star River University's Life Factions? How can she be this powerful?"

"I heard that before she even broke through to Tier Seven, she had already killed two newly ascended Tier Seven Space Ghosts. Now at Tier Seven... she suppresses other high-level beings!"

"Wow, is everyone in the Life Factions that terrifying? A student, Lu Sheng, and a tutor, Liu Yao... It looks like the Life Factions are on the rise!"

Some students from Star River University couldn't help but exclaim at the scene.

Especially those from the top-ranked factions, sensing the pressure.

"With a monstrous tutor like Liu Yao and a prodigy like Lu Sheng, it won't be long before the Life Factions break into the top ten factions!"

Besides the thoughts of the Star River University crowd, the powerhouses of the Ascension Factions had mixed reactions as they watched Liu Yao's formidable display in the Tier Seven Battlefield.

Yet another powerhouse from Star River University... exhibiting unrivaled strength in what should have been Ascension's domain, stealing their thunder!
