Chapter 1128: Robbing Aliens
“Fire God Stone, heavens, you truly have great fortune, to have obtained something like this. Others could search their entire lives and find it hard to get even a small piece!”
“Refining the strongest physique evolution liquid, this is the most important divine mineral aside from the six main ingredients. For you to have found it is truly heaven-defying luck!”
“Your harvest this time is too abundant. It was said that aside from what Wan Qing left behind, everything gained from this expedition belongs to each of you. If you were to auction it off, several generations of your clan would benefit endlessly.”
On the enormous platform, two spaceships were docked. One group was extremely envious, while the other was elated, utterly intoxicated.
Although the Fire God Stone was not a main ingredient, it was a divine mineral. As a supplementary material, it was still priceless. If the major powers learned of it, they would surely fight tooth and nail to bid for it.
Ye Fan was astonished. He hadn’t expected the minerals required for the strongest physique evolution liquid to be so precious. No wonder the purple-eyed woman and her brother had been so desperate back then, fighting him to the death, and others had preferred to be captured or killed rather than give up, repeatedly returning to snatch it away.
Even a supplementary material was like this. One could only imagine how many star regions would need to be surveyed to find them. The main divine ingredients were beyond imagination, rarely seen in several lifetimes.
It could be said that the purple-eyed woman and her group completing their collection was a miracle, practically heaven-defying. Hence, they were unwilling to let go, even at the cost of their lives.
“A race that combines technology and the Dao is truly somewhat terrifying,” Ye Fan muttered to himself.
He had a deep understanding of the strongest physique evolution liquid. It was absolutely a treasure. The purple-eyed woman and her group had only refined those minerals for a little over ten years, and even with just some crude liquid, it had allowed him to smoothly advance a rank, seizing creation itself.
“Wan Qing is truly an immortal legend. Vanished for twenty to thirty thousand years, yet his influence remains so immense that even the various princes and lords can’t sit still,” one person sighed.
“We’ve searched this star region thoroughly enough. We can return now, having completed our mission.”
“Hmm, indeed. Many have already left. We should also set out on the return journey. There are still a few dangerous places in this star region that will be searched by that saint-level spaceship. We can’t venture there.”
This was their abandoned base, tens of thousands of years old. They were only passing through and reusing it now. There was a star gate at this location.
Ye Fan’s eyes flickered. He had been overly worried. These two spaceships were not saint artifacts and couldn’t compare to the flying saucer he had encountered outside the Immortal Mountain. They posed no threat to him.
He adjusted his physiological functions to the limit, then took out a few wooden blocks. They were branches from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, inscribed by the Black Emperor with Heaven-Deceiving Array patterns, capable of even concealing heavenly tribulation.
When an ancient star gate was opened, Ye Fan was surprised. Inside the circular portal, various lights flowed, like a node where time and space intersected, leading to an unknown destination.
The moment the two spaceships rushed in, he silently approached, clinging to one like lightning, following them through the crossing.
Ye Fan was truly audacious, temporarily leaving the longitudinal ancient stellar path to travel laterally, following the spaceships into their nation.
After an unknown amount of time, the two spaceships burst out of the star gate, entering the dark universe. All around was vast and boundless, filled with desolation and cold.
In the infinite distance, stars dotted the sky. This star region was utterly silent, without a sound or ripple, making one feel incredibly dull.
“What bad luck. That base hasn’t been used for tens of thousands of years and is already dilapidated beyond recognition. The star gate’s transmission distance is limited. We came out early. If we get lost, the trouble will be huge.”
“When will we get a saint-level spaceship? Then we can open a star gate anytime.”
The people on the two spaceships complained, but soon perked up again.
“At least we’re not lost. Otherwise, with our energy depleted, we’d eventually fall in the universe. There’s a small planet ahead, a base left from tens of thousands of years ago. We can return from there.”
“Full speed ahead!”
After confirming, they began to travel at maximum speed, like streaks of light crossing the heavens, one after the other, heading into the distance.
Life is wondrous, but compared to the vast heavens, it is truly insignificant. For ordinary people, moving from one star region to another is nearly impossible.
Only those who have advanced to the forefront, wielding great power, can achieve this. Only a few life forms can realize it.
“Hey, you got the Fire God Stone. Did you find anything else? Maybe there are other divine minerals in that star region.”
“No, we searched it thoroughly. We got it from a low-level race living underground. There was even a half-saint-level existence. We almost failed, but in the end, we used the Five-Colored Divine Radiance to sweep away the Fire God Stone.”
Ye Fan was surprised. He thought of his own encounter. Back then, he had been swept by a divine light and captured into the flying saucer.
“The power of the Five Elements is profound and endless. Even if we couldn’t defeat them, those low-level races couldn’t stop us. We could retreat calmly.”
“Since a half-saint was born, it means their bloodline is also extraordinary. Did you collect their blood?”
“We killed a few inferior monkeys and brought their blood back...”
“That’s good.”
Hearing their conversation, Ye Fan sneered inwardly. He clung to the spaceship, concealed by the Heaven-Deceiving Array patterns, waiting to land.
In the universe, time flew by quickly. Along the way, he saw one magnificent star after another, passing by them. The brilliant scenes were breathtakingly beautiful.
“Even saints can barely travel through star regions. Perhaps only the ancient great emperors could fully appreciate the magnificent scenery of this vast universe,” Ye Fan muttered to himself.
A few days later, a small planet appeared in view. The two spaceships rushed into it and slowly descended.
It was still a dead star, without air or water, barren and bare. Since leaving the Big Dipper, he hadn’t seen any green vegetation. One could imagine how rare and precious life-bearing ancient stars were in the vast universe, not a single one found across countless star regions.
“The star gate here is somewhat damaged. It needs repairs before we can perform a space jump.”
The two spaceships stopped on a huge platform. The hatches opened, and some people came out. Without a doubt, they were also cultivators, familiar with Dao patterns and such.
The star gate here was constructed based on spatial laws, integrated with technology, forming a foreign portal.
“Hey, something’s wrong! Detected an unknown life fluctuation!”
Someone on the spaceship shouted loudly, staring at the screen. The alarm blared intensely, ringing without stop.
“What? Have we encountered a powerful life form that can travel through the universe and is targeting us?”
In their understanding, there were terrifying beings in the universe capable of individual cosmic travel, with various forms. Some were extremely dangerous. If entangled, one might die without a burial place.
“I don’t know when it latched onto our spaceship!” someone screamed in terror, ignoring those outside, wanting to close the hatch and immediately set sail to flee.
Ye Fan sneered. He had just withdrawn the Heaven-Deceiving Array patterns, so his life fluctuations and traces were naturally sensed by them. But it didn’t matter, because everything was under his control.
“Weng!”
Two golden giant hands reached out, firmly pressing down on the two spaceships, preventing them from escaping. With a physique comparable to an ancient saint, how could these people break free?
“Such powerful life fluctuations! His physical body is no weaker than the bloodlines carefully nurtured by various princes and lords. The golden blood energy is suffocating, too terrifying.”
“Quick, attack him! Use the Five-Colored Divine Radiance to imprison him!”
A group of people shouted, their faces pale, terrified to the extreme. The strongest among them were only at the second level of the Immortal Platform. They couldn’t contend with him and could only rely on the spaceships.
“Chi chi chi...”
Five-colored divine light swept out, containing the power of the Five Elements, brilliant and dazzling, capable of imprisoning life forms, even those with powerful bloodlines.
“Bang!”
Ye Fan intended to test the method, but he was also afraid of capsizing in a ditch. He didn’t take risks. He summoned the Primordial Qi Cauldron, which hung down ten thousand strands of silk, blocking all the light beams. The Five-Colored Divine Radiance couldn’t penetrate.
Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of essence energy. These people were sent flying like scarecrows, spitting out large mouthfuls of essence blood, all collapsing weakly.
Then, with a raise of his hand, he also restrained the people inside the two spaceships. There were over a dozen alien star people, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their expressions terrified.
“This is a robbery! You aliens are all my prisoners. Squat on the ground, hold your heads, and don’t move,” Ye Fan said, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“You... who are you? Which star region are you from?” someone asked tremblingly.
“Do you know we come from the Eternal Kingdom? Do you know the consequences of provoking us?” another person said toughly, issuing a threat.
Ye Fan only had one response: he kicked him over and said, “As a prisoner, you need to have some awareness. All of you shut up. Answer whatever I ask. Otherwise, I’ll make you shut up forever.”
Hatred burned deep in their eyes, but on the surface, they appeared much more obedient. None dared to speak again. They squatted on the ground, holding their heads, waiting for him to speak.
“You six, go over and repair the star gate!” Ye Fan pointed at six people.
The six designated stood up, their expressions calm, and walked toward the star gate. There, they constructed a star platform, activating the star gate. All the patterns seemed to come to life, one by one lighting up.
Suddenly, from the star gate, a burst of light shot out, shining toward Ye Fan. They had channeled a very terrifying force, intending to kill him. This was cosmic energy drawn from the void.
“Die, you inferior race!”
A series of screams rang out. On the spot, seven or eight alien people turned into bloody pus, dying horribly. Not a single one survived.
“Dead!” At the star gate, the six were overjoyed.
“You’re celebrating a bit too early.” Ye Fan’s voice sounded beside them.
He had used the Stride Art to flash away, leaving only an afterimage at his original spot, surpassing their perception. Now, he stood calmly before them.
“You...”
“You what you!” Ye Fan took a step forward. The leader was crushed by the powerful aura, his bones breaking and tendons snapping, sent flying, but he didn’t lose his life.
Ye Fan needed these few to enter the Eternal Kingdom.
In that prosperous star region, there were several strongest physiques. According to the purple-eyed woman, the Eternal Kingdom even sealed ancient divine blood. Additionally, there were secrets left by the Green Emperor there, worth his visit.
When the leader fell to the ground, a vessel fell from his body. The lid of the box cracked open, emitting a dazzling light that pierced the clouds! A stone, as vivid as rosy clouds and as crystalline as a diamond, was revealed. It was sacred and peaceful, its light flooding the area.
