Chapter 492: The Annals of History

After all, as everyone now knew, every member of Team Zenith was able to take down a sura king on their own.

"No, it\'s not the same. No one in Renhuang is as strong as a sura monarch."

"Another crisis for Renhuang, then?"

"But what about Zhang Lie?"

"No matter how strong Zhang Lie is, he surely can\'t compare to the monarch of stars. What\'s more, not only is there the monarch he has to contend with, there are three million sura that he has to defeat, along with the generals leading them. How can Renhuang stand a chance?"

"The empire of stars could destroy all of us humans if it really wanted to—no other force in history has ever defeated or held back a sura empire\'s assault!"

Within his office, Amurong was so excited that he yelled out, "This time, Zhang Lie\'s sure to perish!"

The seven-kingdom coalition might not have been able to crush Renhuang and deal with Zhang Lie. With Renhuang and Zhang Lie\'s reputation soaring, Amurong had no recourse for dealing with him—but now, the monarch of stars was going to do it in his place instead!

Anyone who knew anything about the second realm understood what a sura empire represented. It was an undefeatable existence, one incomparable to a small city like Renhuang. Destroying all of humanity\'s enclaves would be as simple as snapping his fingers for the monarch of stars.

The monarch of stars himself was an unusual existence, and the empire he governed was the largest and most prosperous of all the sura empires. Three had cooperated to try to take down the empire of stars, but the monarch of stars had destroyed them all instead.

It was inconceivable that Renhuang could be its equal.

Even if Zhang Lie and his team could counter an ordinary sura empire, the empire of stars boasted the strength of at least three. The moment the monarch of stars mobilized his troops, Renhuang\'s fate had been decided.

Amurong poured himself a glass of red wine and downed it in a single gulp. His face flushed with excitement and alcohol, Amurong contacted his allies among the world federation.

"Make a move the moment the empire of stars and Renhuang initiate the clash."

"Don\'t you want to wait until Renhuang becomes a pile of ruins first?"

Amurong seemed to shrug. "It\'s only a matter of time at this point. With Renhuang in such peril, Zhang Lie won\'t have any attention to spare to the Zenith Dojo."

"Just like last time?"

Amurong\'s voice was lined with certainty. "Don\'t joke around with me! Renhuang\'s enemy is the empire of stars, the largest and strongest of the sura empires. There\'s no way Zhang Lie can make it out alive!"

He could barely wait to behold Zhang Lie\'s recipe for concocting his limit-breaking potions.

What Amurong didn\'t realize was that the four major races of the Milky Way were pooling their forces and making their way toward Renhuang. Thus far, they had already gathered over a million troops combined.

Lianna said firmly, "Zhang Lie won\'t be such an easy opponent for the sura. After all, his Team Zenith managed to take down the seven sura kings\' forces by themselves."

Xing Bai nodded. "That\'s as we expected. Zhang Lie\'s team is filled with excellent hunters—after all, we experienced their strength for ourselves. How could they be so weak as to be unable to defeat a sura king?"

Despite their words, the shock and amazement on their faces hadn\'t fully disappeared. Even if the members of Team Zenith were able to take down the sura kings, they certainly hadn\'t expected it to happen so quickly.

After all, the four races had all begun mobilizing their forces the moment they learned about the impending attack, but they were still on their way by the time the battle was reported to be over.

"Zhang Lie\'s the champion of the Void Cup, and he was the first to break the four prime races\' monopoly on it. The humans have never had access to the Void Throne. Someone who was able to chart a new course in history like that—well, even if the whole world were to view him as a fool, I\'d follow in his footsteps. We know just how strong he is."

Lianna added, "I hear another piece of bad news—the monarch of stars is preparing to attack Renhuang."

Xing Hui asked, "The monarch of the strongest sura empire?"

Lianna nodded.

Xing Bai roared in laughter. "No, that\'s not bad news at all—it\'s excellent news! Our forces will finally be able to help Zhang Lie out. He might have been able to deal with the seven kingdoms\' forces himself, but the forces from the empire of stars will be larger and stronger. Even with Zhang Lie\'s strength, he\'ll probably have a hard time, and our aid will be timely."

The four prime races were heading straight for Renhuang.

Lianna turned back. "I\'m just not sure if Zhang Lie will like the present we\'ve prepared for him."

Within their party was a large cage covered by a gigantic piece of cloth. It was impossible to see what lay within. The creature within battered the cage as it shrieked, its voice sounding simultaneously like a wolf\'s howl and a dragon\'s call.

When Zhang Lie learned of the monarch of stars\' impending assault on Renhuang, his face turned dark. "Zhou Liao, it doesn\'t look like I\'ll have any time to have a drink with you. Renhuang\'s in danger once again, and I have to be prepared."

"What\'s going on?"

"The empire of stars is going to attack us."

Zhou Liao blinked. "More sura kings?"

"No, not just sura kings—the monarch of stars himself! It would take a hundred sura kings to stand up to the monarch of stars, and they might not even win," Zhang Lie explained concisely. He turned to head back to the palace. "Have the human reinforcements depart. Renhuang\'s going to face another calamity."

Zhou Liao clenched his fists. "What are you talking about? We came all the way here to help Renhuang in its time of need—but by the time we arrived, it was already time for the celebratory banquet! Now that there\'s yet another threat coming to Renhuang, let us fight. We don\'t care if the enemy\'s a sura monarch or sura king—we can take them on!"

A sura kingdom was already a huge problem for a regular human city, and most hunters had hardly heard of a sura empire. Even among the world federation at large, only a select few knew the specifics of the sura hierarchy and structure.

Zhang Lie shook his head. "You won\'t be able to handle it. The empire of stars\' forces will at least be ten times stronger than what we\'ve faced to date!"

Zhou Liao\'s eyes bulged. Ten times stronger than a seven-kingdom coalition? How could that be? That a seven-kingdom coalition had attacked a human city was a history-defining affair, but now a sura empire itself was attacking Renhuang?

No other force had ever provoked such a response from a sura empire.
