Numerous jellyfish meteorite tendrils descended like a shower of meteors.
Bochang could only control his cybernetic flying sword to dodge, preventing himself from getting struck.
Apart from voice commands, when piloting manually, he used hand gestures similar to manipulating a joystick. With these precise movements, he effectively controlled the cyber flying sword's actions.
Bochang simply needed to rotate the spherical controller, and the flying sword would respond accordingly, making it highly convenient.
As for the scattered falling jellyfish meteorite tendrils, there was no need to worry.
The Cloud Knights weren't idle; they had methods to handle most of the smaller falling debris.
For those they couldn't intercept?
One could only hope for the best.
With a formidable enemy at hand, Bochang and his allies had little choice but to focus on the immediate threat.
Now, Welt Yang, Dan Heng, and the colossal dragon Bailu joined forces, managing to resist the meteorite impact weakened by Bochang's initial strike.
However...
It wasn't enough.
After a brief pause, the jellyfish meteorite continued its descent, even accelerating in speed.
The simulated black hole, water dragon, and Giant Dragon Bailu's high-energy electrical discharge continued to clash against the incoming threat.
However, they could only delay the attack, unable to halt the destructive force of the jellyfish meteorite.
After all...
This was no ordinary meteorite.
The inherent destructive power continuously fueled its momentum.
This move could be considered as Lord Ravager's full-power strike, possessing immense strength.
Bochang maneuvered his cybernetic flying sword to reach Welt Yang's side and said, "Uncle Yang, I'd like to try using Dragon Blast next to see if it can destroy the meteorite."
"Alright, give it a shot. I'll have your back," Welt Yang nodded.
With General Jing Yuan still not arriving on time,
Welt Yang had to place his hopes on Bochang.
Bochang's capabilities were indeed unpredictable; he might just prove to be significantly helpful.
Moreover, Bochang had already demonstrated his usefulness once before.
His intervention truly made a difference, substantially slowing down the jellyfish meteorite and easing the defenders' efforts.
Just as Bochang prepared to unleash his attack, a familiar crisp female voice echoed from afar.
"Here's a massive Diamond... for you!"
Surprised, Bochang turned to look.
He witnessed a purple Diamond, over a hundred meters in diameter, hurtling towards the jellyfish meteor at blistering speed, trailing flames behind it.
In the distance, Herta floated mid-air, wielding a large black hammer.
Her gaze wasn't focused on the jellyfish meteor but rather, with keen interest, locked onto Bochang.
Their eyes met briefly.
"Huh? What is Herta doing here?" Bochang was momentarily taken aback.
However...
Her arrival couldn't have been more timely.
Bochang recalled that Herta was also an Aeon Emanator, and surely she could intercept this jellyfish meteor, relieving everyone of this immense threat.
Just as Bochang anticipated, the colossal purple Diamond struck from the side, effortlessly shattering the jellyfish meteor into irregular fragments, which scattered across the Exalting Sanctum.
Under Bochang's watchful eye, the jellyfish meteor disintegrated explosively.
The Cloud Knights...
also instantly shattered at that moment.
Although they possessed long-range attack capabilities,
the sheer number of falling meteor fragments was overwhelming, making it impossible to defend against them all.
Fortunately, General Jing Yuan arrived just in time.
Upon hearing the commotion nearby,
Bochang spotted Jing Yuan hovering mid-air, accompanied by a colossal golden Divine Monarch seemingly over a kilometer tall behind him.
"Hallowed might, heed my command..."
The cloud knight general, radiating golden light, appeared no less divine than a deity itself. From a great distance, he raised his crescent moon blade and then forcefully swung it downward.
In unison, the Divine Monarch mirrored this action.
"Merciless Slash!"
With one sweeping strike, regardless of the multitude of meteorites ahead, the Divine Monarch effortlessly shattered them into dust. The surging golden blade aura cleared nearly half the clouds enveloping Luofu Immortal Continent.
Of course...
this ease was possible only because Bochang, Herta, and others had initially intercepted the meteorite, mitigating its impact.
Without such power, General Jing Yuan wouldn't have been able to resolve the crisis so effortlessly.
With the danger averted, the system's notification promptly sounded:
[Rewards being distributed—Congratulations! You have obtained the strength of the Horse Talisman.]
"Horse Talisman? I wanted the Dog Talisman... Can't I get the Dog... or even the Ox or Rabbit Talismans instead?" Bochang muttered inwardly.
Surveying the utter chaos at Exalting Sanctum, even General Jing Yuan, with his typically calm demeanor, found it difficult to maintain composure.
"You... just what have you all done here? And... this is... Miss Herta?"
Noticing another Aeon Emanator present, Jing Yuan's expression subtly shifted.
He had received word about Herta's visit to Xianzhou Luofu, but he hadn't anticipated her appearance at Exalting Sanctum. Unfortunately, she now witnessed this unsightly scene.
Welt Yang began speaking first, "Here's what happened... General Jing Yuan, we were exploring the Exalting Sanctum when suddenly we discovered that Miss Tingyun, assigned by the Sky-Faring Commission, had been impersonated..."
"In the end, to our surprise, the one masquerading as Miss Tingyun was none other than Lord Ravager."
Welt Yang recounted the entire incident to Jing Yuan without any intention of withholding information.
Despite being at a considerable distance from each other, using their fate path powers allowed their voices to carry far across the landscape.
"Lord Ravager?" Jing Yuan murmured softly.
Ever since the onset of the Stellaron disaster, he had been vigilant against Abundance fiends, Stellaron Hunters, and Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
Despite all his precautions, he never anticipated that Lord Ravager would appear on Luofu Immortal Continent.
Jing Yuan found it almost unbelievable.
But...
The meteorite moments ago was unmistakably Lord Ravager's handiwork.
Whether Jing Yuan wanted to believe it or not, there was no denying it.
While the Cloud Knight General and Welt Yang were engaged in conversation,
Herta flew over to Bochang, scrutinizing him closely as if trying to decipher something intriguing.
Bochang, holding his cybernetic flying sword with one hand, felt slightly embarrassed hovering mid-air. He asked, "Miss Herta, why are you staring at me? I hope...I haven't done anything wrong against you."
When Himeko contacted Herta,
Bochang and his companions were still adventuring on the immortal continent, unaware due to disrupted communications.
They had no inkling that Herta was about to arrive.
"Didn't you tell Himeko... that you wanted to experiment with my dolls? So here I am."
"Oh... so it was about that..." Bochang sighed in relief and maneuvered his cybernetic flying sword parallel to the ground, then climbed onto it, standing atop the blade.
After adjusting his position...
Bochang asked, "Did Miss Herta agree?"
"No, not really..." Herta replied, continuing to scrutinize Bochang closely, even circling around him for inspection—much like when he first met Bailu.
Bluntly, Bochang queried, "If she didn't agree, why did you come over?"
"I may not consent to being studied by you, but I want to study you instead. Is that difficult to understand?" Herta stroked her chin, gazing at him with an enigmatic expression.
