Chapter 116 The Mother Empress Isn't Dead

Everyone else was looking around as well, because now, the Devourers weren't moving. Whether it was the Devourer Guards or the ordinary Devourers, they were all standing in place, seemingly having lost control. All the signs seemed to indicate that the Devourer Mother Empress had died.

Li Chenzhou also looked up at the Mother Empress Crystal Core, then at the motionless Devourers. His thoughts were the same as everyone else's: that the Mother Empress was dead.

The thought that they had finally killed the Mother Empress made Li Chenzhou relax. With the Mother Empress dead, the remaining Devourers, while still present, wouldn't be able to amount to much.

Although other high-level Devourers had the ability to transform into Mother Nests and reproduce a Devourer race themselves, their life imprints didn't allow them to do so unless someone among them, like Xiao Xin, could break through the level cap and erase the life imprint.

But likewise, because of the constraints of the life imprint, Devourers couldn't actively devour the origin of the universe. Therefore, after the Mother Empress's death, the Devourer race would only gradually perish.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chenzhou looked at Gray Bear and the other surviving warriors inside the Mother Empress's body, about to speak, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong…

"The Mother Empress isn't dead! Continue attacking the Crystal Core!"

Li Chenzhou immediately roared.

In fact, Li Chenzhou had always felt that something was amiss, because this Devourer Mother Empress seemed too easy to kill.

Although they had caught her by surprise, and the Devourers believed themselves to be invincible in the universe, and the Mother Empress was in the middle of evolution, among other factors that favored them, Li Chenzhou still felt that the Devourer Mother Empress shouldn't have been killed so easily!

If the Devourers were really that easy to wipe out, Instructor Li Yingning wouldn't have valued these guys so much.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou had been on guard the whole time, until he saw the motionless Devourers, as if frozen in place.

This must be the Mother Empress deliberately showing, wanting them to think she was dead, in order to buy herself some time, so she made all the Devourers freeze.

If the Mother Empress had really died, the Devourers shouldn't be in this state. They should either continue fighting to avenge the Mother Empress, or scatter and flee for their lives.

In any case, they shouldn't have turned into statues. They only had a life imprint in their bodies, so they would absolutely obey the Mother Empress's orders, just like when Lin Qiang led people to surround the manor base.

At that time, after all the high-level Devourers were sniped by Duan Xue, the remaining Devourers were still executing the orders issued by the high-level Devourers before they died, but they didn't crash like robots!

Therefore, if the Mother Empress really died, these Devourers wouldn't stay in place. They should continue to attack Li Chenzhou and the others, until one side was completely annihilated!!!

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Gray Bear and the others were the first to react. All the warriors from Li Chenzhou's world, including Luo Hong and the others, raised their weapons and started shooting at the surrounding Devourers.

The warriors from other worlds, of course, weren't so obedient to Li Chenzhou's orders. They were just looking at Li Chenzhou, Gray Bear, and Luo Hong, seemingly thinking, "Since the Mother Empress is already dead, why are we still shooting?"

Li Chenzhou guessed right. The Mother Empress wasn't dead. The Crystal Core being shattered by a third was definitely a serious injury to her, even damaging her foundation. It would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years for her to fully recover.

It could be said that if the battle ended here, the Mother Empress would gather all the Devourers back here to protect her, and she would begin to fully repair her Crystal Core.

In other words, so far, Li Chenzhou and the others had at least bought humanity hundreds to thousands of years of peace. During this time, no Devourers would descend upon any world again!

Unfortunately, the Mother Empress couldn't let Li Chenzhou and the others go, and Li Chenzhou certainly wouldn't be willing to retreat like this. His goal was to kill the Mother Empress. He wouldn't leave until the Mother Empress was dead!

And the Mother Empress wouldn't let Li Chenzhou and the others go either. This group of humans was the first to enter her territory and inflict such a heavy blow on her. To the Mother Empress, this was a great humiliation, like a human being bitten by a sheep. How could she let it go without killing and eating the sheep?

Especially now that the Mother Empress had the ability to do so!

Gray Bear's shot before, although it heavily injured the Mother Empress, blasting away one third of her Crystal Core, it also absorbed all of the universal origin that was covering the Crystal Core.

Because the characteristic of ignoring defense belonged to the power of rules, this power was equally effective against the origin of the universe. Therefore, Gray Bear's shot, while heavily injuring the Mother Empress, also interrupted her evolution!!!

The process of life evolution being interrupted was certainly not a good thing for the Mother Empress, but the problem was that now was a critical moment of life and death for the Mother Empress. As early as when Li Chenzhou entered the Mother Empress's body, the Mother Empress actually wanted to interrupt her own evolution. Evolution was the Mother Empress's greatest goal, but the prerequisite was that she was still alive.

The entry of Li Chenzhou and the others had posed a huge threat to the Mother Empress's life, so the Mother Empress was of course willing to interrupt her evolution process in order to restore her full abilities, but the problem was that she couldn't do it herself.

And now, Gray Bear's shot interrupted the Mother Empress's evolution process, which could be said to be both a blessing and a curse for the Mother Empress. Although the Mother Empress's Crystal Core was heavily damaged, she also withdrew from the evolution process.

Because during evolution, many of the Mother Empress's functions were greatly reduced, and now, all of her functions could be fully utilized!

However, the Mother Empress was also quite clever. She didn't immediately start counterattacking, but ordered all the Devourers to stop, in order to make the humans think that she was dead, to buy herself some time.

However, the Mother Empress didn't expect that she only needed to make the Crystal Core dim. If she had let the Devourers continue to attack freely, Li Chenzhou might not have noticed the abnormality. Instead, she made all the Devourers stop, which made Li Chenzhou feel something was wrong.

At this time, seeing that the humans had already seen through her trick, and many energy beams were all shooting towards her Crystal Core, the Mother Empress finally stopped playing dead and began to counterattack with all her strength.

Of course, the first step the Mother Empress took was to immediately have the Devourer Guards block the energy beams shooting towards her Crystal Core, because her Crystal Core had been damaged and its defense had been greatly reduced. Now, the energy beams could already cause damage to her mutated Crystal Core…
