Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 159 Starlight, Lighting Up Hope

Gao Xingchen clenched the "Crystal of Chaos" and a warm and powerful energy flowed into his palms, flowing through his limbs and bones. He felt unprecedentedly powerful, as if he had a force that could shake the world. This force was not violent and disordered, but like a trickle, under his guidance, it gradually merged into his formation.

"Xingchen, what are you doing?" Elder Li asked puzzledly as he looked at Gao Xingchen's actions.

Gao Xingchen did not answer, but concentrated on controlling the power of the "Crystal of Chaos". Golden rays of light emanated from his body, interweaving into a huge golden light net above Xingchen Peak. Above the light net, there were dots of starlight, as if countless stars were twinkling, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

"This is..." Immortal Sun widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"This is the power of the 'Chaos Crystal'. I use it to set up a defensive formation to protect Star Peak!" Gao Xingchen explained.

"What? 'Chaos Crystal' can also be used to set up formations?" Elder Li and Immortal Sun looked at each other, both shocked by Gao Xingchen's bold idea.

Gao Xingchen ignored their surprise and continued to concentrate on setting up the formation. He integrated the "Crystal of Chaos" into the mountain protection formation of Xingchen Peak. The originally shaky formation was instantly stabilized and became more powerful under the blessing of the "Crystal of Chaos".

At this moment, a bone-chilling chill swept over, accompanied by a deafening roar: "Gao Xingchen, get out here!"

Fire Cloud Evil God! He is back again!

Gao Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He turned his head to look at the room behind him, Nan Li was still lying on the bed, his face was pale, and his breath was weak.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Elder Li and Immortal Sun shouted worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't let him hurt Nanli." Gao Xingchen said in a firm tone.

He took a step forward and instantly appeared above the Star Peak, facing the Fire Cloud Evil God from a distance.

"Fire Cloud Evil God, you actually dare to come here to die!" Gao Xingchen said coldly.

“Hmph! I let you get away with it last time, but this time, I will tear you into pieces!” roared the Fire Cloud Evil God.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a black lightning and rushed towards Gao Xingchen. Gao Xingchen sneered, without dodging, he went straight to meet him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, two powerful forces collided with each other, causing a gust of wind that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

"Stars!"

In the room, Nan Li suddenly opened her eyes and struggled to get up, but she fell on the bed due to her weakness. She looked at the familiar figure outside the window, her heart filled with worry.

"Xingchen, you must be safe..."

“Boom!” A deafening roar echoed over the Star Peak. Powerful energy fluctuations spread like ripples, uprooting the surrounding trees and cracking huge rocks.

In the room, Nan Li's heart seemed to have skipped a beat. She struggled to get up, but was brought back to reality by a sharp pain. Her face was pale, her lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of worry and anxiety.

"Xiao Hei..." Nan Li called weakly. She remembered that when the Fire Cloud Evil God attacked, it was Xiao Hei who stood between her and Gao Xingchen and took the fatal blow for them.

As if hearing her call, Xiao Hei, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly whimpered faintly. Nan Li turned her head in surprise and saw that Xiao Hei's originally dull fur was now emitting a faint golden light. The light was like the fire of life, beating on its body, full of hope.

Xiao Hei struggled to stand up, staggered to Nan Li's bedside, rubbed his head gently against the back of her hand, and whimpered softly, as if to comfort her, or to tell her that he was fine.

Nan Li's eyes instantly turned red. She reached out her hand and gently stroked Xiao Hei's fur, feeling the warmth and strength coming from it, her heart filled with emotion and hope.

"Xiao Hei, I'm so glad you're okay..." Nan Li's voice was choked with sobs. She knew that all this was because of Gao Xingchen. It was Gao Xingchen who used the power of the "Chaos Crystal" to not only heal Xiao Hei's injuries, but also give it a new life and even evolve it into a more powerful ability.

Outside the window, the battle between Gao Xingchen and Huoyun Evil God was still going on. The two sides fought back and forth with fierce moves, and every collision erupted with earth-shaking power.

Although Gao Xingchen's strength increased greatly, Huoyun Evil God was, after all, an experienced and powerful man with extremely rich combat experience. For a while, Gao Xingchen was unable to defeat him completely.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a deafening roar of a beast came from the depths of Xingchen Peak, and then a giant bear of huge size rushed out of the dense forest and attacked the Fire Cloud Evil God.

The giant bear had thick skin and immense strength. With one slap, it was like a mountain collapsing, unstoppable. The Fire Cloud Evil God was caught off guard and was slapped away by the giant bear. He fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth.

"Is this... the monster from Xingchen Peak?" Fire Cloud Evil God looked at the giant bear with an unsightly expression, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

"That's right, they are my partners now!" Gao Xingchen's voice came from behind the giant bear. He stepped forward step by step, with confidence flashing in his eyes. "Fire Cloud Evil God, you have done many evil things. Today is the day you die!"

It turned out that Gao Xingchen had been studying how to use his beast taming skills to tame the monsters around Xingchen Peak while practicing. With the help of the "Crystal of Chaos", he successfully signed contracts with several powerful monsters, became their master, and formed a powerful monster army.

Huoyun Evil God looked at the hostile beast eyes behind Gao Xingchen, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart... Huoyun Evil God's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Gao Xingchen to have such a trump card. The monsters on Xingchen Peak have always been unruly and difficult to subdue. Gao Xingchen was able to subdue so many in a short period of time. This strength should not be underestimated. He secretly regretted in his heart that if he had known this, he should not have kept this disaster!

"Good, very good!" Fire Cloud Evil God gnashed his teeth and said, "Gao Xingchen, I didn't expect you to have some skills, but do you think you can defeat me like this? You are too naive!"

After saying that, the Fire Cloud Evil God flashed and turned into a black shadow, quickly retreating. He knew that he might not be able to get any good results today, so it would be better to avoid the sharp edge for the time being and make plans later.

Gao Xingchen snorted coldly and was about to chase him, but suddenly he felt a strong pressure coming from the sky. He looked up and saw two figures standing in the air. They were Elder Li and Immortal Sun.

"Xingchen, are you okay?" Elder Li asked with concern, glancing over him and feeling relieved only after making sure that he was not injured.

"Disciple is fine, thank you for your concern, Master." Gao Xingchen bowed and then briefly recounted the battle with the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Good, well done!" Immortal Sun stroked his beard and nodded approvingly, "Xingchen, you have made such progress in such a short period of time, it is really cause for celebration!"

"Yes, Xingchen, you gave us a big surprise this time." Elder Li also said with a smile, "It seems that our previous decision was correct."

It turned out that Elder Li and Immortal Sun had been secretly observing Gao Xingchen's growth. Seeing that he was so talented, kind-hearted, and full of sense of justice, they decided to fully support him and help him fight against the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Master, uncle-master, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with determination.

"Good, good!" Elder Li and Immortal Sun nodded with satisfaction, and then began to instruct Gao Xingchen on how to train the monster army and improve its combat effectiveness. Under the guidance of the two elders, Gao Xingchen and the monster army cooperated more and more tacitly, and their strength also improved by leaps and bounds.

Not long after, Gao Xingchen decided to take the initiative. He led the monster army and launched an attack on a stronghold where the Fire Cloud Evil God was entrenched.

As soon as the battle began, Gao Xingchen commanded the monster army to launch a fierce attack. The giant bear took the lead and was unstoppable. The other monsters also showed their magical powers and defeated the subordinates of Fire Cloud Evil God.

The Fire Cloud Evil God's men had never seen such a battle, and they immediately became confused and had no power to resist. Soon, Gao Xingchen led the monster army to its first victory, which greatly boosted morale.

However, just when Gao Xingchen was about to press on with his victory, the Fire Cloud Evil God suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the mess on the ground and a huge suspense: Was the disappearance of the Fire Cloud Evil God the result of some other conspiracy or was it just a temporary retreat?

The Fire Cloud Evil God just disappeared out of thin air, leaving behind only the mess on the ground and a group of frightened subordinates. Gao Xingchen did not underestimate the enemy. He commanded the monster army to subdue all the remaining enemies and carefully searched the entire stronghold, but still could not find any clues about the whereabouts of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Did he use some secret method to escape?" Gao Xingchen frowned, feeling uneasy. He knew that with the character of Fire Cloud Evil God, he would never give up easily. His sudden disappearance this time seemed like a bigger conspiracy.

"Xingchen, what's wrong?" Nanli noticed Gao Xingchen's abnormality and walked up to him and asked with concern. Since being seriously injured by the Fire Cloud Evil God last time, Nanli and Xiaohei have been recuperating at Xingchen Peak. With the care of the "Chaos Crystal", their injuries have basically healed.

"The Fire Cloud Evil God is missing, and I'm worried that he will make a comeback." Gao Xingchen told Nan Li about his concerns.

"He will definitely come back." A hint of coldness flashed in Nan Li's eyes, "We must find him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"But now we don't even know where he is, how can we find him?" Gao Xingchen was a little distressed.

"The Chaos Crystal may be able to help us." Nan Li pondered for a moment and said, "It contains powerful power and may be able to sense the trace of Fire Cloud Evil God."

Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up. Yes, how could he have forgotten the "Crystal of Chaos"! He quickly took the "Crystal of Chaos" out of his arms, closed his eyes, and integrated his thoughts into it.

The "Crystal of Chaos" emitted a soft light, enveloping Gao Xingchen. Gradually, he felt a faint breath, which was evil and powerful, and it was the Fire Cloud Evil God!

Gao Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with brilliance. He found it! "The Fire Cloud Evil God is fleeing northward. Let's chase him!"

After saying that, he took Nanli and Xiaohei, summoned the monster army, and galloped towards the north.

The vast mountains are full of dangers. Gao Xingchen and his team tracked all the way and finally found the trace of Fire Cloud Evil God in a hidden valley.

"He is here!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger.

"It seems that he has nowhere else to go, so he hides in a place like this." Nan Li said coldly.

"We must not let him escape again this time!" Gao Xingchen said in a firm tone with murderous intent in his eyes.

Ahead, what awaits them will be an even more brutal decisive battle...
