In another region of Star Luo, the land was being swarmed by thousands of the same creatures that attacked the Tang Sect. They were attacking some of the towns, with the screams of people ringing through the area.
Once they slaughtered the people, they would move to the technology of the towns before scrapping it.
Turning the metal, electronics, and soul force into scraps before collecting it in the bags that they held.
Once this was done, they would have some soldiers move back to the pillars as if to transfer what was salvaged back. Many people couldn't react in time, allowing these creatures to easily do whatever they want for the time being.
But soon after the Soul Masters reinforcement from the Star Luo empire came, getting into a clash with the creatures. But they only fought for a bit before what seems to be the general of the creatures sounded a retreat.
The creatures all began moving back, running towards the pillars that gave off a bright light before a field expanded out. Halting all attacks from the Soul Master while the creatures went inside.
The Soul Masters watched as the creatures began to turn into blue lights before shooting up towards the sky, into outer space. The general glanced at the humans before it chuckled and vanished from the area.
Soon afterward, Star Luo started to become silent after the countless flashes of blue light that streaked towards the sky. Yet the people of the land it was anything but a good omen as the enemy was able to get away.
With them being unable to gain any or much information other than they were a race from outer space.
"The beginning of an invasion! Our planet is being invaded!"
The survivors were screaming this out as they looked at the destruction that these alien races caused.
Regret, as well as pain and unwillingness, were plastered on their face before they began to scream into the sky.
The Soul Masters themselves were gritting their teeth but they could do nothing as this attack was unexpected. But it wasn't only them who got attacked as another continent was being attacked at the moment.

Alvarez Empire continent, streaks of light were moving down towards the continent.
At the moment the empire was being attacked by a band of creatures. They were attacking the towns that were stationed in front of the whole empire, with them trying to scrap the resources.
Fortunately, there weren't many creatures, and the empire was able to launch an effective counterattack.
As the officials who were in charge of the sensor Lacrima had noticed the pillars moving down on the continent.
They had seen with the vision Lacrima where each pillar had landed, as well the survival Lacrima that was in the town.
To record the actions of the creatures as the shields of Alvarez moved out to combat them.
Xie Xie had already reached the town of Xun, his squad had spread out, circling the town. Before moving out on the enemy, Xie Xie is the first to charge with his squad following.
"Try to capture some of them. The people back in the Empire want to question and interrogate them," Said Xie Xie, causing the squad to nod their head.
"Right!'
'Time Acceleration.'
Xie Xie's figure began to blur before he vanished from in front of the squad. He appeared right in front of the creatures but before the creatures could do anything, all fell to the ground.
All of them were headless, with blood sprouting from their body but Xie Xie didn't bat an eye as he continued moving.
Roar!
The Werewolf King descended on one of the creatures, using its claws to piece through their hide. While his other one swept through, tearing through another creature that tried to hack into him with a broadsword.
The Werewolf King then released a roar that caused the creatures that were rushing to him to be stunned.
Just as a streak of blackish-purple light did a zig-zag, piercing through the creature's bodies.
Xie Xiao appeared in a blur right next to the Werewolf King, both of them nodding at each other. Grabbing the bodies of the dead creatures before moving away, while Xie Xiao burned away the blood.
Just as more creatures running towards the location but to their confusion found nothing. They looked all around, trying to find the squadron they sent here but didn't see them anywhere.
The creature's eyes widened when a spear went through the top of its head before it spread outwards.
Streaks of purplish-black lights exploded out of the creature's body, piercing through the others around. Just as a figure appeared behind one of them with purple eyes that were glowing.
Before it began to slaughter them, they couldn't put up much of a defense as the attack shocked them. Within moments, the creatures were dead in the alley-way, with Xie Xiao once again burning the Blood.
Their leader told them that no matter the assignment, they must make sure to get rid of as much evidence as they can. The longer it took for the enemy to figure out who was attacking them, the easier it will be for them.
One could say the core principle of the Xie Xie squad was to strike with complete lethality in the dark. Making enemies not even know who is attacking or where they are being attacked.
Once they were done with the cleanup, they swiftly left the area, moving to finish up around.

Countless spears that were made out of darkness, descended from the sky, piercing through the creatures.
"Wipe most of them out! If you see any that looked like they are different or have anything that is of higher quality. That may be their general, capture him."Said Di Tian in front of the Soul Beasts and Soul Masters behind him before he moved forward.
They all had nodded their heads before following behind Di Tian. Unlike the Xie Xie squad that was made for the soft and silent approach, Di Tian was the complete opposite.
With his overwhelming power, he moved to dominate and crush his opponents and all enemies. The elements of darkness were surging through the town as Di Tian smashed his way through the enemies.
While also making sure to give the survivors time to leave the area, with his squad also covering them.
Whether it be humans or soul beasts, he helped them. Yet the sight of seeing some Soul-Beast who wasn't even a hundred years old, lying dead on the floor. A Soul-Beast who didn't get a chance to grow up and live its life, being snuffed out before that chance.
This angered Di Tian to the point he began to unleash one manslaughter, with hundreds of streaks of dark spears hacking down. Wings that were as black as the night sweeping across and a gigantic dragon fist descending.
This ferocity might startle the creatures with it causing severe damage to the town, more so than the creatures did. Yet none of Di Tian squad members tried to stop him as they were also angered from the corpse they saw.
Whether it be Soul Beasts or human, it didn't matter at the moment as the people they were supposed to protect. They were lying dead on the floor with some of them being as young as a child.
With a roar, they all began fighting even more aggressively, each covering the others with blood splashing around.
It didn't take long for Di Tian to find the general of the group who only had the strength of a Title Douluo. While that normally would be impressive, against a being like Di Tian?
It was no different than a fly trying to fight a Soul Master. With just a glance, Di Tian caused the creature's limbs to shatter before they corroded from the dark elements.
Then he grasps the creature's neck, hauling it up before tearing through its mind with his mental powers. Contrary to what most people thought, spiritual power was one of Di Tian's specialties, with him being somewhat comparable to the great Huo Yuhao in this aspect.
So it wasn't much of a shock that Di Tian could tear through the creature's mental defense and began seeking information on them. Yet as he got to the center of the creature's spiritual sea, his expression began changing.
As he saw the creature's spiritual sea was a dark ocean with buildings like structures looming around the sea. Chains were hanging from the sky, with Di Tian nothing he could see flashes of memories from them.
Yet what caught his attention was in the middle of the emerald sea was a giant pillar. That had a throne in the middle, with a blurry and hazy creature sitting in it.
Then he heard a sudden voice, ancient and low, making Di Tian's spirit tremble.
"Trespassing in this sea where you do not belong is an offense worthy of being beheaded, what makes you so daring?
"Trespassing? Who are you?" Di Tian asked coldly but the hazy figure only glances at him, increasing the terror he felt from it.
"Lord."
The hazy and blurry figure only said one word, yet its voice became even terrifying, with creating an unmatched pressure. It was as if a God was talking to Di Tian, with just his will alone being enough to crush his body. Shatter his spirit and scatter his mind across the plane.
Even though the figure seemed to be just a remnant of some sort, the aura it was releasing was truly above everything in the mortal world.
Di Tian's expression changed, as he thought. The remnant will of God was here? Just what kind of creatures were theses to have such a thing!
"Second offense, not daring to answer my question, you must be looking down on this Lord. Kowtow for a thousand years and go undergo reincarnation and let your sins be erased, little dragon."
That voice became loud now, resonating within the spiritual sea they were in and shaking it up.
It was as if a God had sat on that throne, commanding the world to obey him as a terrifying pressure lashed out on Di Tian.
Di Tian quickly tried fighting back, unleashing his spiritual sense as well as utilizing the Dragon God Claw to combat the will. Feeling the claw appeared on his right arm and the energy rushing out of his body, fusing with his spiritual sense.
In the next moment, their spiritual power clashed like a clash of lighting that sent waves of spiritual energy surging the world. Myriad of colors flashed through the area, shaking it all up and creating cracks in the spiritual sea of the creature.
Di Tian frowned, as he understood this will here was way too powerful, most likely being a God and not a weak one too. Making him wonder if this will be only inside of the general or all of the other creatures.
If it was anyone else, it would be anyone lesser than him, then they might have obeyed the will of this being. Yet who was he? Was he not the Beast God who has followed the Dragon God for hundreds of thousands of years?
He had already been hit by countless divine pressure of Godlike beings, so he wasn't too unused to it. But he knew there was nothing he could do by himself could contend with this will. Without the weapon of a god because he didn't have a divine origin.
Only the likes of his Lords and Huo Yuhao could contend with this will, as they were monsters when it comes to spiritual power.
It was only through the Dragon God Claw that he could even clash with it even temporarily, but Di Tian knew better. This will didn't use all of its strength, just as he was probing it, it was probing him for his abilities.
Why it was doing this, Di Tian didn't know exactly but if he had to guess, it may be to test the strength of this planet.
Yet Di Tian didn't plan on backing off so easily as he glanced at the chains that were flashing with memories.
Before his figure blurred, appearing near the chains, his arm thrusting out, motioning to grab the chains.
"Third Offense, ignoring this Lord word, choosing to clash with me and moving to grab what is mine?" The voice began causing the world to freeze, with Di Tian struggling to move.
"Scram you pest."
Di Tian could do nothing as a terrifying force began pushing him out of the spiritual sea of the creature. The last thing he saw before he left was the will beginning to close its eye, with it snorting and muttering.
