Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Tranquil Zone

In fact, Cang Ming’s idea was quite simple.

Fighting in such strong Constant Star Winds, it was already difficult enough for them to keep their own gases from being blown away using Gravity, making it impossible to fight using Gravity. Thus, even if one had a slightly larger mass, it couldn’t be leveraged as an advantage. Instead, it was Lu Chen who, from some unknown source, had learned the long-range attack skill of annihilation, taking a significant upper hand.

Now, unable to shake off Lu Chen with his speed, if this continued, he would inevitably be obliterated bit by bit by the Annihilation Light Column.

Therefore, he decided to rush into the orbit of the triple star, plundering the Hydrogen from the Double Stars. He planned to restore himself to the strength of a Constant Star before Lu Chen could kill him with the Annihilation Light Column. Even if it was just the mass of one Constant Star, it would be enough to turn the tide of the battle and extinguish the Demon Star Lu Chen.

Certainly, Cang Ming’s decision was extremely risky and required seizing every second!

Additionally, he had to bet that Lu Chen wouldn’t dare to follow him into the dangerous orbit of the triple star to disrupt his plan, since the orbit of the triple star was very hazardous, with the constant threat of accidents leading to death.

However, he had been lying in wait within the Three-leaf Nebula for nearly a hundred million years and was familiar with most of its locations. This knowledge gave him a slight edge over Lu Chen. In such a dire situation, he calmed down, thought of these advantages, and made use of them.

"If you have the guts, then come on in!"

Cang Ming also strategically sent out a psychic message as a ruse, truly a seasoned old Constant Star!

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen indeed hesitated to pursue further, as it was his first time entering the Three-leaf Nebula. He was not familiar with the situation inside and was also wary of falling into Cang Ming’s trap.

Thus, Lu Chen slowed down and observed from the outside.

He saw that once Cang Ming plunged into the orbit of the triple star, he swiftly arrived at the central position.

This was the center of mass of the triple star and the region where the Gravity of the three stars canceled each other out. Hence, the Constant Star Winds from the three stars would collide with each other and slow down under the tangled Gravity, forming a calm region where the Constant Star Winds were weaker and there was no Gravitational pull.

Cang Ming had discovered this calm region long ago.

His original plan was to enter this area when the Supernova Explosion occurred to endure the enormous thrust from the three Supernovas coming from three different directions, which would ensure his rebirth without fail.

Even in the densest nebula, the birth of new Constant Stars is a matter of probability, requiring many conditions to be met—things like large amounts of Hydrogen, sufficient pressure, and temperature, which this area undoubtedly fulfilled.

The only thing left to wait for was the timing of the Supernova Explosion.

But now, before the time had come, Cang Ming was forced to enter prematurely.

He never imagined that he, a Constant Star of the Star Clan, would be driven to such a sorry state by a Planet, to the point of infuriated rage!

"Just watch comfortably from the outside. Once I recover to a Constant Star, your death will be at hand!"

Seeing that Lu Chen didn’t pursue him, Cang Ming felt relieved. He immediately started using the Gravity Stone to enhance his Gravity, absorbing Hydrogen from one of the Twin Stars.

At this point, he couldn’t care less about the problem of the triple star’s orbital shift.

Plus, from his previous experience, he had already identified the critical point of mass imbalance, feeling confident that there should be no problem so long as he didn’t exceed that threshold this time.

Whoosh whoosh!

Cang Ming’s Gravity, enhanced by the Gravity Stone, successfully plundered the Hydrogen from the surface of the star. A great amount of high-temperature Hydrogen, fiery orange in color, transformed into an orange stellar river under the pull of the invisible Gravity, roaringly backfilling onto Cang Ming’s planetary body.

"Oh..."

Feeling the hydrogen returning to his body, Cang Ming couldn’t help but let out a comfortable cry.

At the same time, Lu Chen, who was outside the orbit, finally saw through the plot: "So, you’re planning to forcibly hijack the hydrogen to restore yourself to a Constant Star. You’re betting that I wouldn’t dare to follow you inside. Those words just now were merely a smokescreen. However, do you really think I have not considered this possibility?"

In fact, Lu Chen had already suspected that Cang Ming might be bluffing, but just to be safe, he still hadn’t pursued inside, because he had other means — there was no need to risk his life.

And his method was the most powerful Annihilation Light Column.

If he could use the Annihilation Light Column to bombard his opponent from a distance, why bother getting up close?

However, Lu Chen had been waiting for the optimal moment to unleash it, and now, that moment had finally arrived.

While Cang Ming was hijacking the hydrogen from the surface of the star, his body was immobile, a sitting duck!

Lu Chen gave a cold smile and then unleashed the most powerful Annihilation Light Column.

Countless positrons and electrons collided at high speed, resulting in an intense annihilation reaction that produced an endless stream of photons.

"Another Annihilation Light Column, which has already been proven countless times to be incapable of killing me in one strike!"

Cang Ming, who was hijacking hydrogen, noticed Lu Chen’s action but laughed it off with contempt.

However, before the laughter ended, Cang Ming discovered that this Annihilation Light Column seemed different from the ones before. The scorching energy kept exceeding its limits, reaching a terrifying Energy Level, making his body shiver!

Boom!

A thirty-kilometer-thick Annihilation Light Column shot out, as if a huge crack had been torn in the pitch-black Universe, spreading at the speed of light. In the blink of an eye, it arrived right in front of Cang Ming!

Boom!

Cang Ming couldn’t dodge, and even if he could, it was too late. The thirty-kilometer-thick Light Column directly hit his Star Core, and the massive impact shattered the elements there, triggering a violent and terrifying explosion. An unrivaled force overpowered the gravity’s pull, scattering Cang Ming’s planetary body as the gases fled in all directions!

The explosive shockwave, forming a spherical shape, spread ferociously outward, only to be gradually weakened by the continuous Constant Star Wind from outside, eventually containing the explosion to only a few kilometers outside the calm zone, which looked very mystical.

Seeing this result, Lu Chen felt both amazed and satisfied.

By his estimation, the thirty-kilometer-thick Annihilation Light Column had an extraordinarily high Energy Level, easily capable of destroying a planet with ten times a Planet’s mass. Although Cang Ming was more massive, it was only a gas giant, and in such a high-temperature environment, the vibration of the elements was extremely high, with virtually no defensive strength, thus it was directly dispersed by the thirty-kilometer-thick Annihilation Light Column.

However, what Lu Chen found regrettable was that...

The Gravity Stone inside Cang Ming crumbled under the terrifying impact, and strangely, its fragments disintegrated and disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly remembered how he had shattered a Gravity Stone while absorbing Feather Robe Star, also unable to find any trace of it. It seemed that although Gravity Stones were not afraid of high temperatures, they couldn’t withstand great physical impacts.

As for the reason behind this phenomenon, Lu Chen had no idea at the time.

But now was not the time to ponder such matters, as he immediately gathered his thoughts and dove headfirst into the orbit of the Triple Star, rapidly absorbing the vast amounts of gases that had been scattered by Cang Ming!
