As time slowly passed like sand in an hourglass, a long day and a half had already gone by since Gu Lingchuan and his group left.

Suddenly, a muffled and distant explosion came from far behind, as if the earth had been torn apart.

The sound was distant, yet clearly audible, like thunder piercing the sky.

Gu Lingchuan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look around.

However, due to the extreme distance, nothing could be seen except for a vast expanse of yellow earth and the faint outlines of mountains.

But he knew very well that the explosion meant that the creatures covering the rear had already engaged in a fierce battle with the aliens.

Not only Gu Lingchuan heard the terrifying explosion, but most of the creatures that fled in panic also keenly sensed this ominous sign.

However, faced with the threat of death, they dared not even pause or look back, focusing only on quickening their pace, hoping to get away from this terrible battlefield as soon as possible.

The Three Flower Goddess kept her promise to Gu Lingchuan and stayed close to him.

When the deafening explosion reached her ears, tears instantly welled up in her beautiful eyes.

As a being with special abilities, she could clearly sense that the fate of those creatures who remained to fight bravely was sealed—they would all perish heroically.

Looking at the sorrowful and tearful Lady Sanhua, Gu Lingchuan was at a loss for words to comfort her.

He could only gently reach out and pat her frail shoulder, as if trying to convey a touch of warmth and strength through this simple gesture.

The Three Flower Goddess did not speak, but in the next instant, her originally petite body suddenly expanded at an astonishing speed! In the blink of an eye, she became five or six times larger than a tiger!

The Three Flower Goddess carefully placed Gu Lingchuan and Bai Ling on her broad back, then lightly leaped up.

Her movements were swift and agile, each leap as fast as lightning, instantly leaving the numerous creatures that were chasing her far behind.

At the same time, a loud, arrogant laugh came from the other side: "Hahaha, you insignificant ants dare to try to stop our progress?"

"That's utterly delusional and ridiculous!" It turned out to be the mocking voice of a powerful alien that had reached the eighth stage of the Venerable realm.

As its laughter rang out, the alien's body suddenly swelled dozens of times, towering like a small mountain.

Immediately afterwards, it swung its thick, powerful arm and slammed it down hard on t2.

Poor T2 was powerless against such terrifying power, and was slammed straight into the deep earth like a cannonball.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, T2 and their side are completely in a passive and defensive situation.

Faced with these incredibly powerful aliens, they were completely unable to mount an effective resistance; all they could do was try their best to slow down the aliens' attack.

As for inflicting even the slightest damage on these aliens, that would be an almost impossible task.

However, just as the situation was becoming increasingly critical, something unexpected happened.

The spaceships, which had been quietly parked around according to some mysterious pattern, suddenly began to flash a dazzling red light.

Moreover, all the mechanical creatures present simultaneously emitted this eerie red light, including T2, which had just struggled to climb out of the huge pit.

"Self-destruct mode activated..." As T2's slightly low but unwavering voice fell, a series of deafening and extremely violent explosions rang out one after another.

The explosions intertwined and merged, forming an even more violent and earth-shattering shockwave that swept outwards in all directions.

The vast and boundless earth seemed to have been torn apart by an invisible giant hand, with deep and ferocious cracks crisscrossing the landscape, a shocking sight.

At the same time, the originally stable space began to twist and deform violently, like a lake surface ravaged by a storm, stirring up waves.

In this apocalyptic scene, the relatively weaker aliens had no time to react and were instantly blasted to pieces by the violent energy impact, turning into dust that scattered everywhere.

However, although the explosive power of this explosion looked extremely terrifying, it was nothing compared to the Star Destroyer Cannon.

If T2 weren't trying to ensure the safety of the evacuating creatures, it probably would have fired several planet-destroying cannon shots without hesitation.

It should be understood that once the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon is combined and fired several times, even a powerful alien at the eighth stage of the Venerable Realm would find it difficult to escape unscathed and would inevitably suffer severe damage.

As the billowing dust gradually dissipated, four alien beings at the eighth stage of Venerable Realm were seen gathering together, their faces covered in dust and pebbles, looking somewhat disheveled. Although they were covered in dust and pebbles, they were actually unharmed.

One of the aliens said with lingering fear, "These AIs are really ruthless; they actually chose to self-destruct silently!"

The other alien replied dismissively, "Don't forget, they're just a bunch of emotionless and mindless AIs that blindly follow orders. This behavior is perfectly normal for them."

At this moment, another alien spoke thoughtfully: "But to be honest, if we could make these machines work for us, they would undoubtedly be a great help. After all, their combat power should not be underestimated."

Just as these four aliens were talking, another four aliens at the seventh stage of Venerable Realm slowly gathered together.

They all had some scars on their bodies, and some wounds were still bleeding, but fortunately the injuries were not particularly serious.

As long as the surrounding pollution energy is sufficient, they will be able to recover to their original state in a short period of time.

"Stop talking! The king's order was to keep all the creatures in this stronghold alive, but there are still some that have escaped!" A Venerable Stage 7 alien, covered in blood and wounds, said breathlessly.

Its grotesque and twisted face appeared even more terrifying with anger, and blood continued to seep from the deep, bone-revealing wounds on its body.

"Heh, what a useless piece of trash! Look at the pathetic state you're in now!" The Venerable Stage 8 Alien standing to the side sneered with disdain.

Despite its sharp tongue, its fear of the king prevented it from being negligent in the slightest, for that high and mighty being was truly terrifying.

Then, it blurred into a lightning-fast afterimage, speeding forward at an astonishing pace and disappearing from sight in an instant.
