Black Soul knew that with his current strength, those families were no longer able to help him. If he wanted to truly break through in a short time and save his life, he could only pin his hopes on that existence.

This was also a major reason why a person of his character chose to join the Star Alliance organization.

The news of a Pseudo Transcendent level expert wanting to join carried significant weight, and the Yang Yangyang couple dared not be negligent, immediately passing the message back.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman had not yet entered the Immortal Realm at that time and took some time to meet Black Soul before leaving.

Finally getting his wish and meeting that existence, Black Soul couldn’t hide his inner excitement. However, his character made him not good at expressing emotions, but nevertheless, to survive and out of respect for powerful people, he showed his most sincere side.

Listening to his story, Zhang Xiaoman was also somewhat touched. If this were placed on Water Blue Star, it would certainly be another few-million-word cultivation genre novel.

Now, seeing this man who was nearly at the end of his life but still struggling to survive, Zhang Xiaoman, sympathizing with his challenging cultivation journey, agreed to his request.

However, nothing in the world comes without a price. What Black Soul needed to give up was his freedom, ending his solitary wandering life to join the Star Alliance and serve the organization as a minor member.

These arrangements were already expected by Black Soul before he sought the meeting, and he naturally did not refuse.

Zhang Xiaoman promised him that he would leave this world and go to the Immortal Realm for a while. During this period, if Black Soul could stay dedicated in the Star Alliance, work for the organization, and earn enough combat merits, Zhang Xiaoman would personally help him upgrade his strength upon returning, allowing him to break through from the Fake Transcendent Level to the true Transcendent Level, becoming a True God.

This was precisely what Black Soul wanted.

Therefore, he became a member of the Godslayer Team and, along with other powerful defectors, came to guard the Star Alliance Headquarters.

However, Black Soul never had the chance to achieve any combat merits. Although the Great Fusion was imminent, perhaps due to luck, the organization had been relatively peaceful recently. Even when large numbers of Alien Species appeared, they were all minor riff-raff that couldn’t bring any combat merits, at least in Black Soul’s eyes.

Fortunately, the crisis that erupted on Guleng Star gave Black Soul an opportunity: the awakening of a Transcendent level strong enemy. If he could kill such an opponent, then such combat merit would be significant enough that Lord Jixing would certainly bestow upon him the power to become a True God.

In the past, Black Soul would not have had the courage to confront a Transcendent level existence alone, as the gap in strength between Pseudo Transcendent and Transcendent was not just a simple small step but a vast chasm.

But now that he knew this being, called the Emperor, a Lower God, had just awakened from metamorphosis and was at its weakest stage. Additionally, he had an elite Godslayer Team. If they set up the Godslayer Formation, they might stand a chance.

After all, the materials used for this Godslayer Formation were top-notch, and everyone had a Divine Artifact, giving them the confidence to challenge a Transcendent level being.

These Divine Artifacts were left in the Star Alliance by Zhang Xiaoman, meant to counter formidable foes at critical moments. Now temporarily bestowed for use by the Godslayer Team, this gave them the chance to kill the newly awakened Transcendent being.

Currently, Black Soul was wearing his favorite metallic mask, standing at the position of the array eye, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Power from the formation, as if brewing a powerful attack.

"Godslayer Team, attack! Help me stall it!"

Black Soul issued the order, and the others summoned the Spiritual Artifacts in their hands, employing their respective techniques to attack the Emperor in the center of the formation.

The weakest among these people was also at the late-stage Control Level, with most being at Peak Control Level. At this moment, supported by the formation and Divine Artifacts, the power they could exert was quite impressive.

The attack power of those Divine Artifacts was extremely strong, belonging to Transcendent level equipment. Though wielded by a group of Control Level individuals would somewhat reduce the potency, it at least gave them the possibility of injuring a True God.

"Hiss... Aang!!!"

A red tumorous monster let out a terrifying scream, a sound with tremendous penetration, causing dizziness and nausea. If the Third Fleet hadn’t also activated the corresponding protective array, the ordinary crew members might have been directly shocked to death.

"It’s working, it’s injured! Keep attacking!"

A member of the Godslayer Team, seeing this, rejoiced and once again wielded the Divine Artifact to attack.

The massive blood-colored tumor screamed in agony as it was battered. It was still very weak, and the attacks from the Divine Artifacts made it quite cautious.

Unfortunately, Divine Artifacts, after all, are Divine Artifacts, and although they were wielded by Transcendent level, even through strengthening their Spiritual Power with the formation, a few uses later, they were exhausted, giving the Emperor precious breathing time.

In just a few breaths, the massive blood-colored tumor gradually recovered and began to counterattack.

Its tentacles danced in the sky, forming a giant meridian network, instantly bursting the entire barrier.

"Han Xiao, be careful!"

Seeing the barrier confining the Emperor broken, the members of the Shishen Group were shocked and retreated in haste.

However, some were slower, and the tentacle caught up with them in an instant, causing them to lose all signs of life.

Seeing a teammate at Peak Control Level killed so easily instilled horror in the others, who quickened their pace in retreat.

With the protective barrier damaged, they had no way to survive against the monster’s attacks.

"Come to me, I’ll protect you!"

An iron tower-like man, holding a massive Black Cauldron, enveloped everyone within.

"Boom!!"

The tentacles, obscuring the sky, lashed out, causing the Black Cauldron to tremble violently.

"Ugh..."

The iron tower strongman couldn’t help but vomit blood from his mouth, the attack causing him significant injury.

"Yan! How are you?"

"Ugh... I’m fine... I can hold on... Black Soul, hurry up!"

The iron tower strongman was attacked again by the blood-colored tumor, causing his aura to weaken rapidly, barely holding on.

If not for the defensive Black Cauldron, he might have already perished at the first attack.

The Black Cauldron was a defensive Divine Artifact, controlled by the naturally defense-specialized iron tower strongman, but even so, it was challenging to withstand Transcendent level attacks for long.

The others also took action, using Divine Artifacts to launch sneak attacks on the monster, but unfortunately, they couldn’t stop it.

By this time, the Emperor had gradually recovered from the initial weakened state upon awakening. Its power had recovered too quickly, completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Damn! How can an Evil Clan monster have such a powerful recovery ability! It’s even harder to deal with than those devils! Our attacks, it completely ignored them, that kind of recovery ability, we simply can’t handle it!"

At this moment, they felt a trace of despair. Even with the aid of Divine Artifacts, the gap between Transcendent and non-Transcendent was just too large.

In fact, they couldn’t be completely blamed for this. If it had been another Transcendent, they might indeed have been neutralized by now, taken down by concentrated Divine Artifact attacks as they awakened from slumber.

But now, they faced a monster from the Evil Clan, a race extremely rare, with only a few sentences about them in Star Alliance records. Even people within the Second Universe knew little about them, lacking a clear understanding of their true combat power.

Now they clearly understood what Evil Clan was, and gained a renewed understanding of the perverse recovery ability of this race.
