Chapter 1228: Big Dipper Battles Eternal
Purple blood, silver blood, and sky-blue blood splattered as several Ancestral Kings had half their bodies rotted away, or their lower torsos turned into meat paste.
One Ancestral King even had his forehead bone pierced through, his Immortal Platform shattered, dying on the spot. Bone fragments sticky with blood flew in all directions, landing among the black holes.
This was a tragedy. They had suffered unexpected severe injuries. The sacred vessel spaceship they were riding in had exploded, coming so suddenly.
"Ah..." Angry roars rang out. The wounded Ancestral Kings quickly healed themselves, while the others glared sharply, guarding nervously.
Their first mission had gone awry. Such a tragedy struck the moment they arrived, casting a shadow over their hearts.
Clearly, the Saint-level cosmic mothership contained prohibitions they did not understand, tampered with by the original owners. This kind of calamity was certainly not an isolated case.
In fact, similar tragedies were playing out in other locations. Some Ancestral Kings fell before even joining the battle, dying the moment they appeared.
However, each mothership could at most destroy one Ancient Saint, or at least severely wound them, but could not kill them this way.
"Cut down these trash who only rely on external tools. Leave not a single chicken or dog, slaughter them all!"
"The time to hunt sacred beasts has arrived. Everyone join hands, obtain beast blood, strip out sacred bones. This will be a massive harvest!"
Both sides not only attacked each other, fighting to the death, but also belittled their opponents with words, provoking their emotions.
This was a brutal battle. Torrents of blood rain fell from the sky. Yin winds howled, and yellow cyclones wailed!
The battle above Tianyuan City was fierce.
Terrifying beams of light shot up from within the city, products combining runes and technology that could identify enemies based on genetic imprints and attack autonomously.
Various immortal lights interwove, their attacks shocking the world, killing until the clouds were bleak, the sun and moon dim, and the mountains and rivers lost their color!
"Pfft"
Even the bodies of Ancestral Kings could be pierced. An Ancestral King of the Blood Lightning Clan had a bloody hole appear in his chest. While killing an enemy, he showed an expression of disbelief. The giant city below had severely wounded him.
"A bunch of trash dare to act superior, viewing the myriad races of Big Dipper as natives and sacred beasts? I'll tear you all apart!" An Ancient Saint of the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan roared, his body wreathed in black light. Like a giant mountain, his pair of bull horns pierced the sky, shattering a Saint's battle armor and tearing his opponent apart alive.
"Ah..." On the other side, an Ancestral King of the Ancient Clan screamed. A great Dao beam shot from the city center, capable of breaking through Saint-level defenses, piercing through the back of his head. He couldn't believe it. His eyes went dull as blood and brain matter flowed, and he fell from the sky.
Tianyuan City had once given birth to an ancient deity. It was one of the most terrifying places on this main star, and as the continental center, it held a special status.
That this city could unleash such terrifying Dao light was not surprising. It was only natural. In fact, legends said it might even contain the killing light of an ancient deity.
The battle escalated, growing more brutal. The Ancient Clan realized something was wrong. On this ancient star, various attack fortresses across the land could all emit holy light. They soared into the sky, charging toward the outer realms.
The people of the Eternal Main Star also changed color. The sacred beasts from beyond were too ferocious. Each one had thick skin, tough flesh, indestructible bones, and powerful life force, able to forcefully clash with weapons that fused technology and the Dao.
That expert in the purple battle suit wielding a giant sword was himself a Saint. Paired with a Saint King mecha, he was unstoppable, defeating the three-headed, six-armed Ancestral King, shattering his bones, breaking his physical body, and even severing his primordial spirit.
Of course, behind this Eternal Main Star expert, his companions also suffered many casualties. Blood dripped everywhere, a miserable sight.
This was a bloody storm. Both sides were very confident, never expecting that when they truly fought, they would both pay a blood price.
"The third disciple of Luanfeng Saint is truly powerful. He killed that three-headed, six-armed sacred beast, then cut a winged fierce bird in half at the waist. Blood washed the sky. Truly mighty!"
Cheers rose from Tianyuan City, mixed with some tension. Aside from Luanfeng Saint's third disciple, the other Eternal Main Star warriors had suffered many casualties.
"Kill..."
From within Tianyuan City, eight or nine figures soared upward. All were Ancient Saints, clad in multicolored battle armor, their attack power extremely fierce.
The moment these people appeared, the balance of battle instantly tilted, almost one-sidedly. The Ancient Clan suffered heavy losses. On the spot, three experts spilled blood, their massive corpses falling, dying unnatural deaths.
"This is the sacred land of the entire ancient star. They have their most terrifying power here. We withdraw!" An Ancestral King shouted, beginning to break through.
In this place, the Ancient Clan of the Big Dipper Star Domain had suffered a defeat, caught in a siege. More than ten Ancient Saints had charged up, all protected by battle armor, super terrifying.
"Ah..." An Ancestral King of the Blood Lightning Clan fell, cleaved in two by the third disciple of Luanfeng Saint. Lightning and primordial spirit scattered simultaneously.
"Pfft"
Four Ancient Saints of Tianyuan City charged at once. Four sharp sacred spears simultaneously pierced through an Ancient Ancestral King who had a divine disk behind his head. He roared in unwillingness, but had no way out, and could only fall.
Blood flowed. Massive corpses kept falling. This was a catastrophe. Many mountain ranges were smashed apart. Even more blood rain fell into residential areas, killing over a hundred thousand people.
"Moo..."
A furious, mournful roar. In the end, only a single black giant bull, as large as a mountain, managed to tear open a gap. Covered in wounds, it fled toward the outer realms.
The battle of Tianyuan City came to an end. The Ancient Clan suffered a crushing defeat. They had deployed nine Ancestral Kings, but only the old Saint of the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan escaped. The rest all spilled blood and died.
This was undoubtedly a major blow. Old Bull Demon went mad in the outer realms, unable to hold back his roar. This was too humiliating, making his eyes turn red.
But reports of victories came from other battlefields. Several giant cities had been conquered one after another. These cities had existed for a long time on the Eternal Main Star and were extremely important locations.
The Ancient Clan's defeat at Tianyuan City was mainly because it was the continental center, with the strongest power. Old Bull Demon, who had barely escaped with his life, believed there were even more terrifying existences there that had not yet acted.
"Zhuque City has been breached. We killed all those who relied on external tools, pulling them out by the roots. But we also lost two Ancestral Kings."
Before a majestic giant city, on an endless wilderness, the Ancient Clan Saints stood tall, destroying many war tools. Every time they landed, a patch of earth exploded, revealing many Dao weapons destroyed.
In these places, rivers of blood flowed, and bones piled up.
"The Luolan Ancient Land has been sunk. The spaceships and ancient castles there were all shattered. But we lost two Ancestral Kings."
In a divine valley, the Ancient Clan encountered fierce resistance. Those ancient castles suspended in the sky gave them the most violent counterattack.
"The Atuo Sacred Land has been conquered. We seized some evolution liquids sealed since ancient times, and quite a few divine materials. But we lost a full four Ancestral Kings."
"Very bad. We attacked the ancestral land of the Risibuluo Clan, but only three Ancestral Kings escaped. The rest all died there."
News kept reaching the outer realms. The Ancient Clan had both joy and worry. Though they won more than they lost, conquering some powerful inheritances and sacred lands, they also suffered fierce resistance, and even crushing defeats in some important places.
That day, beacons of war blazed across the sky. The battle spread across the entire ancient star. Smoke rose everywhere, unsettling people's hearts.
Within Tianyuan City, several massive corpses were brought in, split apart by the major clans and divided equally.
Many people cheered. These were "sacred beasts," of immense value. Through this battle, they had solved many problems with divine raw materials.
In other cities, the mood was bleak. Both sides had wins and losses, suffering no small damage. The Eternal Main Star realized a great crisis had arrived.
"That Big Dipper hunting ground is terrifying. These sacred beasts have all run to our Eternal Main Star. If we keep fighting like this, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. We need to invite peerless experts to strike like thunder, quickly wipe them out, and then push the battlefield to Big Dipper."
"Correct. We cannot fight at our doorstep. Invite peerless experts to end this battle as soon as possible."
The people of the Eternal Main Star were no longer so calm. The sacred beasts were ferocious. In these days, they had conquered many major powers, making them feel a sense of crisis.
Ye Fan watched this battle coldly. He knew that judging by this, the Eternal Main Star had far fewer Saints than the Ancient Clan. Keep in mind, only a portion of the Ancient Clan had come, and Eternal was already struggling.
Just one day later, the battle situation reversed. The Eternal Main Star fully recovered lost ground. The Ancient Clan left behind some corpses and retreated to the outer realms.
Luanfeng Saint made his move, joining several peerless experts in a counterattack. Even the Ancient Races trembled, never expecting Eternal to be so hard to fight.
"You sacred beasts, quickly leave the Eternal Star Domain, or none of you will escape being hunted!" Luanfeng led his forces in pursuit to the outer realms.
In the cold universe, the two sides faced off, swords drawn and bows bent, the atmosphere extremely tense.
"Who are you calling sacred beasts?" Old Bull Demon was the first to get angry.
"Fine, distant experts, please withdraw quickly, or bear the consequences yourselves." Luanfeng spoke, clad in cold metal battle suit, holding a war spear, looking extremely divine and martial.
He was only half a step away from becoming a Great Sage, and he possessed a true Great Sage battle armor. Different from ordinary mechas, it was more like a divine garment, tightly fitting his body, extremely powerful, allowing him to nearly fight a Great Sage.
In the cold outer realm, the Ancient Clan members frowned. Though not a few had come, there was no Great Sage among them, nor had they brought any Extreme Ancient Emperor weapons.
"The myriad Ancient Races have many arrogant ones, but I never expected the Eternal Main Star's sense of superiority to be even greater. I have even seen the Battle Saint Emperor. Am I afraid of you? If we keep fighting, I can say without courtesy: the Eternal Main Star will surely be destroyed!"
A powerful expert walked out from the Ancient Clan, clad in a red-gold divine garment, his whole body blazing with radiant light. He came from the Blood Phoenix Mountain and was honored as Nine Phoenix King.
Back then, at the Jade Pool's myriad races assembly, he had appeared. His fame shook the ancient times. He was only one line away from becoming a Great Sage.
In years past, the Battle Saint Emperor had commented that his talent was not bad. Though it was just a simple mention, that was still supreme glory, known throughout the world, making people revere him.
"My Eternal Kingdom is undying for ten thousand ages. We have campaigned across various star domains. Even in the most difficult times, facing ancient deities, we were not exterminated. Your Big Dipper is too arrogant." Luanfeng said.
"Just one Great Sage, just one Extreme Ancient Emperor weapon, once they descend here, they can sweep through the Eternal Kingdom." Nine Phoenix King said.
This battle was unavoidable. Both were existences about to become Great Sages. They engaged in a great duel in the cold universe, and the result was mutual destruction.
