The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162: Speeding Toward Earth

A month passed without anyone noticing.

Everyone was busy working extremely hard to prepare for the battle that was coming.

Yet again, they have a battle coming, and all they can do is prepare for it. The awakening was an eye-opener, so they wanted to be prepared this time.

Of course, this time, they had more powerhouses among themselves. They also have resources gathered from the awakening battle they plan to use.

According to Yuying, there are three phases/stages of cultivation before immortality.

The first phase starts at the Awakened stage and ends at the Great Sage stage.

The second phase starts at the Sovereign stage and ends at the Ascension stage.

Then the third phase begins with the Nether stage and ends with the Empyrean stage.

After these three stages, there is immortality. Right now, the strongest on Earth, Lucy, is only two stages away from becoming an Empyrean. However, if there was any indication of what the humans were capable of, then even if they were down by three realms, they wouldn’t fall that easily in combat.

During the awakening, the likes of Queenie, Nyxthar, Lord Trench, and many others went against opponents three realms beyond them.

Some of them even went against opponents four realms above them and won, so there was no telling what they could do, now that there were monarchs among their ranks.

Yuying had started implementing her plan.

Just like Klaus, she was also proficient in creating arrays and formations. It was one of her strengths. Thankfully, Princess Eshira was also good at that, so the two had started setting up a great formation around Earth using the Grand Arcana Planet Formation as the foundation.

“Whoever created this formation is a genius,” Yuying said, studying the formation Alina left behind.

“She sure is. Her name is Alina. She is one of the people who came from another Universe to help us during the awakening,” Princess Eshira replied.

They had already narrated everything that happened during the awakening to Yuying and her sisters, so she knew that beings from another Universe had come to their aid.

However, after studying the formation, she began to wonder whether she would one day get to meet Alina…

“If this formation is left to spread for just 100 years, I am sure even gods will struggle against it. Not only does it take in the soul essence of the beings living in it, but it also stores that, along with the spiritual energy in the air and on the planets around Earth.

Right now, it is not strong enough to even kill a Monarch, but soon, if we manage to keep it active for a while, then even gods will be blown to bits by it.

Of course, if we have enough time, I can create a backdoor into it that will let us focus our energy to unleash a powerful, wide-area attack that will even devastate Monarchs.”

Princess Eshira nodded. She also thought the same thing…

Alina was flexible in making the formation. She made it so that whoever was in control could add modifications without compromising the foundation of the formation.

“Let’s first work on implementing that. Once that is done, we can head over to the dummy planet Jane has found and rig it for explosion.”

Yuying nodded, and they got to work.

After healing her, Lucy restored her cultivation base to the Saint stage. It was the only stage she could take her to without compromising her foundation.

The rest would depend on her.

So Yuying wasn’t fit to participate in the war that was coming. However, thanks to her big brain, even if she was safely on Earth, she would be able to help her sisters.

Queenie had already provided her with enough cores to take her from the Saint stage to at least the Nether stage.

But it would take time, and they didn’t have any at the moment. So she can only work with the energy she has now.

Queenie and the others were also working around the clock to get ready for this battle. They all wanted to be ready, so they were working around the clock…

Meanwhile, several light-years away from Earth, five large spaceships were speeding through the dark universe heading toward Earth.

These people were the Nethrans led by High Warden Ardent Solivar.

Naturally, there was nothing natural about how they managed to locate Earth in the first place. Before the awakening, they had been searching for the next planet to conquer, and to their shock, Earth popped up.

Once they discovered the planet, the only thing left was opening a portal to it.

Naturally, it was impossible to open a portal there, considering the distance between them. However, at the last minute, they succeeded, and that was why they sent their warriors, thinking that with just a sixth of their army, they could win.

But that didn’t happen, and they lost over 100,000 warriors.

Now, they were bringing their entire army for revenge and, well, to conquer Earth. This, of course, led one to wonder just how they managed to acquire the exact coordinates.

For a planet several light-years away, getting exact coordinates was impossible. For that to happen, they must have had someone on Earth for at least a month to transmit it to them.

However, that didn’t happen. All their warriors died—so how did they manage it?

If Klaus were conscious, he would have pointed his middle finger at the heavens, knowing they had set all this up just so; even after the loss, they would be able to pull some strings…

Inside the leading spaceship, King Solivar sat in his throne, reading something on a tablet.

Kneeling before him was a Domain-stage warrior/scientist.

King Solivar remained still for a few minutes before a sigh escaped his lips. “So the world we spotted was in the middle of awakening when we attacked them.”

“Yes, my king. These readings came in from one of the transponders Lady Soldier was wearing. We only managed to capture this much data before…” The man kept quiet, knowing the king wouldn’t want to hear how his daughter died.

“I see. So the one responsible is this person.” On the screen, a not-so-clear image of a demi-dragon wearing a smug smile could be seen.

“Yes, my king.”

“Very well. I will be sure to wipe that smug off his face when I meet him.”

The man kneeling said nothing, but even he wanted to kill the dragon that killed the princess. If only they knew the person responsible was long gone, and the ones waiting for them were emotional wives of the paragon who wanted nothing more than to watch them all burn.

“How long until we get there?” King Solivar asked.

“One and a half years, my king. However, the scouting party led by General Thorne will reach their destination in seven months. They will prepare the path for our arrival.”

“Very well. Keep me updated on further developments.”

The man left, and the king sat back in his chair.

This time, it was both an obligation and a personal vendetta for him. His daughter was killed, and he wanted revenge. However, he also wanted to conquer a world where his people could live for the next couple of years before migrating again.

‘Soon, I will avenge you, my dear daughter.’
