Chapter 1233: Star Domain War
The war was so brutal that blood was spilled across the starry sky. Whenever a sage fell, it was accompanied by swaths of burning meteorites, turning into cosmic dust.
Boom!
An extreme Dao divine might erupted. When the Great Sage of the Fire Qilin Cave opened and closed his eyes, the universe itself was torn apart, shooting out two bolts of lightning that stretched for who knows how many thousands of miles.
In his hand, he held a dazzling weapon. Its entire body was a crystalline blue, beautiful and blinding, with the aura of an ancient emperor boiling forth.
This was the famed Qilin Staff of the Primeval Era!
It was forged from Eternal Blue Gold, resplendent and eye-catching. The staff’s head was a lifelike Qilin head, radiating an overwhelming imperial might, as if the supreme being of the past had been resurrected.
The Great Sage of the Fire Qilin Cave swung it forward, striking toward the Eternal Main Star at the front of the star domain, intending to split this cradle of life with a single blow.
A brilliant blue light, like a cascading river of stars, vast and boundless, swept forward. The spaceships shattered into pieces, utterly defenseless.
A cold snort rang out. A blazing, dazzling light cut through the blue glow, defying the imperial might as it shot forward at incredible speed, actually striking horizontally against the Qilin Staff!
An extreme Dao confrontation erupted. The Immortal Robe of the Eternal Main Star appeared—an ancient divine battle armor worn by someone, now clashing with the Great Sage of the Fire Qilin Cave.
"That is the Dao-Yan Divine Immortal’s robe! Sacred and transcendent, capable of sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
Exclamations arose from all over the Eternal Main Star. This battle robe had been lost for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. Everyone had been searching for it, never expecting it to appear today.
This was a fierce collision. The battle raged until the sun and moon lost their light, the starry river dimmed. All ancient sages fled for their lives, dodging the shockwaves.
Otherwise, nothing could withstand them. Wherever the residual waves of extreme Dao divine might passed, nothing remained. Even the Great Sage of the Fire Qilin Cave, wielding the Qilin Staff, could not gain the upper hand. The Dao-Yan Divine Robe was both offensive and defensive, and the person wearing it was also a Great Sage, posing a tremendous threat to him.
The two tore through the universe, wielding extreme Dao immortal might as they fought deep into the starry sky. Planets were constantly split apart. The battle was intense, chilling to the bone.
"Kill!"
The Ancestral Kings of the Big Dipper and the sages of the Eternal Star Domain also engaged in an earth-shattering, heart-stopping grand confrontation. The battlefield was magnificent and breathtaking.
"Slay all the sacred beasts! Don’t let a single one escape—annihilate them all!"
The people of the Eternal Main Star roared. They advanced deep into the star domain, where one star after another began to glow. These were all powerful war tools, deployed over many years, now finally put to use.
The planets orbiting the Eternal Main Star were all war fortresses—defensive "island chains" laid down countless millennia ago, capable of offensive strikes.
These were the ultimate weapons combining Dao patterns with technology. Now, like primeval ferocious beasts, they opened their ferocious eyes, radiating boundless killing intent.
"Ah..."
An Ancestral King spilled blood, half his body pierced through, drenched in gore. He suffered a severe wound and was sent flying.
Great Dao weapons and technological arms swept together. This was a blood-drenched star domain, an unprecedented slaughter and collision.
Blood flowed. The battle continued. Planets burned!
"Pfft."
Another Ancestral King had half his skull shattered. Bright red blood and white brain matter splattered. His remaining single eye turned a deathly gray, filled with unwillingness.
Tens of thousands of stars shot out beams of annihilation. This place was twisted into a death trap by the light!
Of course, the losses of the Eternal Star Domain were also severe. Even though this was their home battlefield, with countless great Dao killing arrays and numerous technological weapons deployed, they still could not gain a complete advantage.
The Ancestral Kings of the Big Dipper were too powerful, and their numbers were not just a few—they came from many clans united, their combat power terrifying and world-shaking.
One planet after another was split apart by ancient sages. The deployed Dao marks were destroyed, weapons ruined. As for the armored experts, many were torn apart, their blood staining the void.
This was a brutal war!
Both sides suffered heavy losses. An Ancestral King was a sage-level powerhouse. Losing any one of them was a catastrophe for their clan, a loss they could not afford.
The war fortifications of the Eternal Star Domain were the crystallization of centuries of effort. Thousands upon thousands of stars had been built into fortresses, spread across this vast and boundless star domain.
A war of this level was the greatest in fifty thousand years—a collision between star domains!
"Roar..."
The old sage of the Great Strength Ox Demon Clan fought to the point of madness, manifesting his Dharma form. In an instant, he became hundreds of thousands of zhang tall, transforming into a black wild bull, trampling stars, goring the sun and moon, charging wildly through the universe!
His divine might was terrifying. With every charge, he crushed one small planet after another, destroying countless war fortifications.
Several times, he charged into larger planets, plunging deep into their cores, then violently shook himself, causing the entire star to split into four or five pieces. It looked like a primordial ferocious beast hatching from a giant egg—shocking and extraordinary.
This was a horrifying battle!
The expert of the Primordial King Clan was even more powerful, his magical abilities reaching the heavens. With a sweep of his eyes, countless spaceships shattered. With a raise of his hand, he destroyed one war fortress after another.
This clan was reputed to be the strongest in combat among the Ten Great Primeval Royal Clans, and for good reason. He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing several small planets, causing the people of the Eternal Main Star to tremble in fear.
"These sacred beasts are too ferocious! Activate all defenses—we must stop them!"
The experts of the Eternal Star Domain shouted. This was a calamity. The combat power of the extraterrestrial sacred beasts was unprecedented. So many descending together was a disaster of immense proportions.
In terms of individual combat power, they were inferior to the Primeval Royal Clans. In terms of the number of sage-level experts, they were even more outmatched.
What the Eternal Star Domain relied on was the various war fortifications perfected over thousands of years, turning this star domain into a terrifying killing field.
Without these planets filled with destructive power, the gates of the Eternal Main Star would have already been breached, and calamity would have surely descended.
"Ah..."
An Ancestral King of the Yin Mei Clan, confident in his peerless movement techniques that could ascend to heaven, enter the earth, and travel through the sun and moon, attempted to sneak through and enter the Eternal gates. But he was struck simultaneously by eighteen divine beams, annihilated in both body and spirit.
The Primeval Clans felt a chill. It wasn’t that their combat power was inferior, but this celestial domain was too terrifying. The Eternal Main Star’s generations of preparations were now displayed to their fullest, causing even ancient sages to fall.
The Ancient Clans finally understood why the people of the Eternal Main Star hadn’t attacked earlier. They had been waiting for this day. Revealing these war fortifications too early to deal with later, stronger reinforcements would have been a loss outweighing the gain.
"They were biding their time, waiting until today when our army descended to truly bare their fangs, hoping to cripple us!"
"But relying solely on these Dao runes and sage-level weapons, they can’t stop us. Wanting to wipe us out in one fell swoop is a dream. Kill them cleanly—once we break through, this ancient star is finished!"
The Ancient Clans charged, their eyes cold and ruthless as they struck at those planets. Blood and annihilation light danced together.
The intensity and tragedy of this battle surpassed imagination. Neither side seemed to realize the other would be this strong.
Boom!
A violent tremor. A patch of blood light erupted as a cluster of meteorites exploded ahead. Steel war fortresses and the like turned into scrap metal.
A phoenix cry shook heaven and earth. Crimson clouds and divine patterns filled the sky. The Nine Phoenix King appeared. He was like a divine phoenix reborn from fire, his hair flying, lightning flashing in his eyes. With a raise of his hand, he swept through everything, destroying countless defensive fortifications.
"Breakthrough! Has the Nine Phoenix King reached the Great Sage realm!?" Someone from the Ancient Clans exclaimed, unable to help but glance at his incomparable combat power.
A phoenix chant rang out. The Nine Phoenix King emitted bloody order divine chains, like the feathers of an immortal phoenix. His divine might was overwhelming. With a step of a hundred thousand zhang, he punched out like a phoenix spreading its wings. Behind him, a massive fire bird materialized and plunged forward.
"Ah..."
Screams came. An enormous planet was melted by him, turning into magma, then into cosmic ash. Two powerful figures rushed out, their bodies ablaze, even the primordial spirits within their forehead bones burning. They screamed in agony.
These were two ancient sages. They wailed and struggled, but there was no hope of survival. Their life force quickly weakened, and they turned into two charred corpses, their divine consciousness completely extinguished.
The number of sages in the Eternal Star Domain could not compare to the Big Dipper. Every ancient sage was a patriarch, crucial to a great clan.
Losing two at once was a significant loss. The two great families roared, their eyes bloodshot.
"Has the Nine Phoenix King become a Great Sage?"
"Probably not yet. He’s still a bit short of breaking through the shackles."
The Ancient Clans were also shocked. An expert of the Nine Phoenix King’s level had an enormous role on the battlefield. His combat power reached the heavens, capable of sweeping one side. And this invincible momentum was fatal, chilling the enemy’s heart.
"Kill! In this battle, we will annihilate all the sages of the Eternal Star Domain. We will descend in full force and take control of this star!" said the Nine Phoenix King. He charged at the front, like an arrowhead drenched in blood, sweeping across the stars with the momentum of conquering the world.
"Kill! The destruction of the Eternal Main Star is imminent. Strike with full force!" Many Ancestral Kings responded, following behind him like a torrent, slaughtering forward.
The Nine Phoenix King was the future master of the Blood Phoenix Mountain, his methods reaching the heavens. He killed until people’s scalps went numb. No one could stop his advance.
Additionally, the Qilin Heavenly King of the Fire Qilin Cave had also arrived. Equally renowned, he too was on a killing spree, sweeping forward as if entering an unguarded territory.
Various defensive fortifications of the Eternal Main Star were continuously dismantled. Losses were heavy, blood staining the universe.
The Eternal Main Star also had experts of this level, but they were outnumbered. In terms of the number of ancient sages, they could not compare.
"These sacred beasts are too ferocious. So many descending together—we really can’t hold them back. What do we do?" The people of the Eternal Main Star watched the battle through large screens, their legs trembling. The spurting blood and the explosions of war planets chilled their hearts.
"Originally, we planned to wipe them all out, using the endless war fortifications to slaughter them. But now, a few arrowhead figures on the verge of becoming Great Sages have broken through the heavy defenses, ruining everything! Where are Luan Feng, Mi Luo, and other peerless experts? If they were here to hold them off, the Nine Phoenix King and Qilin Heavenly King among the sacred beasts would surely stop and never advance like this."
"The Xutu Clan... they must have colluded with the extraterrestrial sacred beasts. At this critical moment, they offered up the Divine Skin Ancient Map, diverting some of the Eternal Star Domain’s top figures, leading to this outcome. I’ve heard that it was likely orchestrated by the Nine Phoenix King among the sacred beasts."
The people of the Eternal Main Star were panicked. The sacred beast army had arrived. Their numbers were not large, but every single one was an ancient sage—a catastrophic disaster.
On the extraterrestrial battlefield, the Eternal forces kept retreating, unable to withstand the assault, quickly falling back.
"Is Heaven above determined to destroy our Eternal Kingdom?" The ordinary people watching at home through the screens were terrified, their faces pale, feeling that the end had come.
"Damn the Tan Mou Star Domain! Why did the Ancient Tree of Life appear at this moment? Is our Eternal Star Domain finished?" Cries of lament rose everywhere.
Deep in the universe, extreme Dao immortal might radiated. The Great Sage of the Fire Qilin Cave, wielding the Qilin Staff, fought his opponent. They had destroyed many ancient stars. The starry river dimmed, and neither side could gain the upper hand.
This was an extreme Dao confrontation—a clash between two ancient emperor-level supreme beings across time and space!
In the universe, Huo Qizi stood in the void, his blue hair loose. His expression was cold and ruthless as he gazed at the Eternal Main Star. Seeing that they were about to break through, a faint sneer appeared on his lips.
At the same time, in the distant Tan Mou Star Domain, Dao Yi also turned his head, as if trying to pierce through the cosmic void, see through the starry river, and gaze upon the Eternal Star Domain.
