Chapter 485

Difficult Defense and Unexpected Discovery Under the violent bombardment of dense meteors resembling a torrential rainstorm, the Starship trembled incessantly, emitting a series of painful groans like a broken vessel about to tear apart amidst raging winds and giant waves. The Light Power barrier fully unleashed by the Mysterious Black-robed Man had initially been as solid as a wall cast from fine steel. Yet, under the endless, tide-like and surging impact of the meteors, the radiance of the barrier gradually dimmed, resembling a candle flame about to be extinguished. Fine cracks spread rapidly across the barrier like a spiderweb, seemingly proclaiming its impending doom. Relying on his dark power, the Black-robed Man struggled to manipulate it, attempting to divert some of the meteors and alleviate the pressure borne by the Starship. But as the battle dragged on, his strength was nearly exhausted. Beads of sweat as large as soybeans rolled down his forehead, and his breathing grew rapid and heavy. His figure teetered unsteadily, and every step he took appeared extremely difficult and unsteady, as though he might collapse at any moment.
