As soon as Yan Chaoyue's words fell, outside the dome shield in the sky, as if to confirm her speculation, a deafening roar erupted once more. This time, the roar was noticeably deeper and heavier, no longer sporadic but continuous, rushing towards the surface of Eternal Star like an advancing army. Shortly after, dense flashes of fire swiftly appeared from within the dense crimson poison mist, resembling comets with long tails.
"It's the Immortal Star Formation!" The Eternal Star people couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the rapidly descending stars.
Hao Yun and his companions couldn't help but shiver at this moment. They vividly remembered the last time they saw the Immortal Star Formation ignited into a fireball by the Crimson Poison Mist Formation, erupting lava like a volcano and turning the heavens and earth of Eternal Star into a hellish inferno. They knew that the situation had now reached its most critical moment upon seeing the widespread Immortal Star Formation gradually being ignited.
Watching the approaching Immortal Star Formation, even the Mastanians were filled with fear. After all, flames and high temperatures were their natural enemies. Although their resistance to fire and heat had greatly improved, they were still powerless against the damage caused by the Rain of Destruction.
It was evident that with a significant number of Mastanians on Eternal Star, the Destroyer's insistence on merging the Crimson Poison Mist Formation with the Immortal Star Formation into the Rain of Destruction must have been due to the burden imposed by the suppression of the Magiced Er and Amu Zinen, preventing him from plundering resources from Eternal Star. He voluntarily sacrificed these Mastanians' lives to completely destroy Eternal Star.
After dealing with Eternal Star, the Destroyer's next plan was to find a way to leave the black hole. Besides the inconvenience of traversing with such a large army in the black hole, he needed to share some of his power with the Mastanians to ensure they had sufficient strength to resist the chaotic energies in the black hole or other unexpected situations. This meant the Destroyer could never exist in his strongest form.
To ensure his smooth departure from the black hole, the Destroyer had long since planned to drastically reduce his Mastanian army after dealing with Eternal Star, optimizing all Mastanians except for the most elite combat forces. Therefore, after deciding to annihilate Eternal Star, he naturally wouldn't care about the remaining Mastanians still fighting on Eternal Star. After all, they were just cannon fodder created by him, and he could continuously create more Mastanians, feeling no sorrow for losing these "children."
As for Magiced Er and Amu Zinen? Hmph! Without the cooperation of those priests, your interference with me is futile! With my mighty power, I will eventually wear you two despicable fellows down! I will eventually extract and slowly chew up all the consciousness and energy hidden within me, completely digesting you. That way, my strength may be further consolidated, and perhaps, my level of power might even rise again! Heh heh heh! The Destroyer calculated gleefully in his mind, while intensifying his aura integrated into the Crimson Poison Mist Formation to attract the widespread descent of the Immortal Star Formation.
"Hey! Stop just staring! Hurry up and do something!" Magiced Er and Amu Zinen, having grown up on the Destroyer, knew his thoughts well. Thus, in the intervals of their entanglement with the Destroyer, Amu Zinen turned to Yan Chaoyue below the dome shield and urged loudly.
"Heh. Who could have imagined that Amu Zinen, who was once chased by Yan Chaoyue for miles, the mastermind behind the plot to kill Yan Chaoyue's elder brother, Yan Chaofan, and the accomplice who helped the Destroyer and the Mastanians turn the tide, successfully captured Eternal Star and indirectly caused the death of King Er, Yan Chaoyue's husband, at the hands of the Destroyer—this thorn in the eye, would now voluntarily choose to stand on the same front as Yan Chaoyue to defeat another malicious spirit energy. Life is unpredictable, isn't it? Who can truly guarantee that they won't choose to join hands with their enemies to achieve their own interests and goals?
Yan Chaoyue had indeed developed a deep-seated hatred for Amu Zinen. Therefore, even though Amu Zinen was now clearly helping her, Yan Chaoyue wouldn't lessen her hatred for him after the matter was settled. But now, Yan Chaoyue could distinguish the urgency of the situation, so she suppressed her anger and hatred, deciding to temporarily ally with this enemy who had killed her husband and brother-in-law.
"No need for your reminder!" Yan Chaoyue retorted irritably, then gritted her teeth and let her armor generate a protective shield around her once again. Following that, before others could dissuade her, she shot straight into the sky amidst the pervading crimson poison mist formation and decisively burst out of the crack in the dome shield.
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous! Protect Her Majesty! Everyone, protect Her Majesty!" Seeing Her Majesty suddenly rushing out of the protective layer of the dome shield, the soldiers and officers of Eternal Star exclaimed in shock. Many soldiers even immediately rushed up to the sky, intending to forcibly break through the dome shield to protect Her Majesty.
"No one is allowed to come over! Don't burden me! Hold your positions and protect the Palace of Eternal Star!" Yan Chaoyue immediately used the queen's authority to sternly dismiss the officers and soldiers.
The soldiers of Eternal Star naturally dared not disobey the queen's orders, quickly recovering from their excited emotions and once again recognizing their own strength. They also re-acknowledged the fact that as long as they entered the attack range of the crimson poison mist formation, they would be killed immediately by the crimson poison mist formation.

Not only them, but even Haoyun and his team were in the same situation. Now, their energy was almost depleted due to the Dark Yin Spirit Armor, and they had suffered severe damage in the battle against the Destroyer, losing the protection of their armor shields. In this situation, Haoyun's team couldn't guarantee how long they could hold out in the Crimson Poison Mist Array with only divine energy shields, let alone withstand the imminent Destruction Rain while facing the Destroyer's attacks.
Yan Chaoyue dashed out of the celestial canopy shield, braving the crimson flames generated by the friction between the shield and the Crimson Poison Mist Array, and charged straight at the Destroyer.
"Hmph, bold move!" Seeing Yan Chaoyue leave the protection of the celestial canopy shield and charge at him, willing to fight desperately, the Destroyer couldn't help but praise. He then faced the distraction from Mokka and Amu Zinen's demonic influences, lifted his giant sword, and met Yan Chaoyue head-on. God and demon clashed once again.
Under the pressure of the Crimson Poison Mist Array and the battle against the Destroyer, which far surpassed her own strength, Yan Chaoyue's actions were akin to hitting a rock with an egg. However, with the constant interference from Mokka and Amu Zinen against the Destroyer, and the Destroyer's need to divert attention to draw the Immortal Star Formation, it significantly affected his strength. This allowed Yan Chaoyue to stand a chance against the Destroyer, and with the help of Mokka and Amu Zinen, she repeatedly exploited the openings shown by the Destroyer. Unfortunately, Yan Chaoyue's own strength had visibly declined, making it impossible for her to deliver a fatal blow to the Destroyer despite repeatedly hitting his weak spots.
"Chaoyue, don't force it! If it doesn't work, withdraw! Let's think of another way." Seeing that Yan Chaoyue's repeated attacks had limited impact on the Destroyer, Dao Lao couldn't help but loudly advise.
Withdraw? Can we really think of another way if we withdraw? Yan Chaoyue thought helplessly and barely managed to block the Destroyer's fierce sword strike. Then, she tried to stop her retreat and, after creating some distance from the Destroyer, floated anxiously above the celestial canopy shield, scrutinizing the battlefield below.
At this moment, the Immortal Star Formation, ignited by the stimulation of the Crimson Poison Mist Array, erupted like awakened volcanoes, fiercely spewing out hot lava. Lava-like fireballs rained down like a storm, violently smashing against the celestial canopy shield. Some of the smaller fragments of the Destruction Rain followed the cracks on the surface of the celestial canopy shield and directly smashed towards the surface of Mu Star.
What's worse, just as the Destroyer said, the Crimson Poison Mist Array had a strong attraction to the out-of-control Meteor Array and the Immortal Star Formation. Therefore, the Destroyer was not only using his aura to trigger the Immortal Star Formation and the Crimson Poison Mist Array to create the Destruction Rain. He also wanted to use the aura he injected into the Crimson Poison Mist Array, along with its attraction to the Meteor Array and the Immortal Star Formation, to make all three uncontrollable formations descend onto the surface of Mu Star.
Imagine the deadly power of the Crimson Poison Mist Array itself, combined with the destructive power of the Destruction Rain generated with the Immortal Star Formation, and the damage power that the Meteor Array would cause to Mu Star like a falling comet. At that time, under the ravaging of these three uncontrollable formations at close range, it's not just about whether the eternal Mu Star people can survive, but even Mu Star itself would likely be completely destroyed.
The Destruction Rain had come, and it appeared on the entire Mu Star with an unprecedented scale. Facing this scene of destruction, the terror of the Mastanians was no less than that of the eternal Mu Star people. Although the Mastanians had a low level of intelligence, it didn't prevent them from immediately showing a strong desire to survive after the appearance of the Destruction Rain.
However, the way the Mastanians showed their desire to survive was not to scatter and run with their heads, but to quickly increase their attack intensity and pace against the Mu Star Palace. Because in their view, as long as they could resolve these eternal Mu Star people quickly, perhaps the Destroyer would stop the indiscriminate attacks of the Destruction Rain in order to preserve a temporary habitat for himself.
The Destroyer felt annoyed as he touched a tentacle severed by Yan Chaoyue. In the Destroyer's view, Yan Chaoyue was now just a dying ant struggling, someone he should be able to kill effortlessly. However, under the interference of Mokka and Amu Zinen, Yan Chaoyue not only repeatedly successfully resolved his killing moves but also managed to inflict some damage on him, which truly made the Destroyer feel embarrassed.
So, the Destroyer once again attempted to swing his giant sword towards the two entangled heads, cursing in frustration, "Hmph! Can't you two idiots see the situation clearly?! Even if you keep interfering with me, that ant can't kill me! On the contrary, sooner or later, she will become a soul under my sword!"
"Hmph! Gogolnikyeva, I admit the shields you invented are indeed sturdy. However, their limits are just so. Eventually, I will break through all these shields and exterminate them all! Don't worry, I will find you sooner or later and devour all your power completely! Hahaha, saying this makes me look forward to the scene when we meet again. Hopefully, by then, you can create even sturdier shields to make our hunting game more interesting!" The Destroyer, seeing no immediate results with the two heads, glanced at Yan Chaoyue's shield and the celestial canopy shield. With a malicious grin, he looked ahead to his future plans, then closed his eyes once more to rapidly gather his strength.
Yan Chaoyue, who had fought countless rounds against the Destroyer, immediately recognized his intention to gather power again for a big move. However, this time, instead of distancing herself early from the Destroyer and preparing to evade his attacks with high-speed aerial maneuvers, she made an extremely bold and dangerously risky decision. Yan Chaoyue planned to use the Destroyer's brief moment of power accumulation to rush to his side and attempt to inflict close-range damage on him, thereby preventing him from further using the attraction of the Crimson Poison Mist Array to draw the Immortal Star Formation and Meteor Array, which were releasing the Destruction Rain, towards the surface of Mu Star.
Another reason prompting Yan Chaoyue to make this decision was her realization that the heavily damaged celestial canopy shield could no longer withstand the attacks of the Destruction Rain for much longer. Moreover, her Dark Yin Spirit Armor had reached its lowest energy levels, putting her at risk of being shattered by the Destroyer's killing moves at any moment. Therefore, rather than continuing to linger here and letting the Destroyer gradually turn the tide, Yan Chaoyue felt it was better to take the initiative.
