Strike First
The universe is boundless, and the star field is endless, but in this cosmic sky, what is most abundant is not Star Scripture, but desolation and darkness. The overall tone of the universe is darkness, coldness, and silence.
Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zi Xia, and Xiao Nannan set off together and appeared in this Nothingness and silent space.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you worried about your elders in the sect if you come all this way with us?" Pang Bo looked at Zi Xia and suddenly asked.
"Anyway, as everyone knows, I was taken away to cultivate by the successor of the Wu Shi the Great!" Zi Xia said indifferently.
For her, returning to her sect now would be troublesome, as nothing could be explained clearly.
"You're just following your husband wherever he goes, but your task now is to give Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo!" Zhou Tong chuckled.
Ye Fan remained silent, his brows furrowed, for he sensed that something was amiss.
"Zhou Tong, are we really traversing the Void the Great? I don't feel any movement at all," Ye Fan asked.
"What's the rush? The Five-Colored Altar is incomplete; this time, we most likely won't be able to reach our destination directly!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "Be prepared to cultivate in the starry sky for several years!"
Just as Zhou Tong finished speaking, the speed at which the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin suddenly increased, as if they had turned into light, giving Zhou Tong and the others a feeling of time distortion. Moments and Eternal Ancient Star alternated, and time seemed to be stretched infinitely.
"This feeling..."
A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes; he sensed a feeling of time passing.
This feeling involuntarily brought to mind a secret technique— the Time Passes!
This is the secret technique of the Wu Shi the Great, profound and mysterious, difficult to understand. After Zhou Tong obtained this secret technique, although he tried to comprehend it many times, he still could not get that feeling.
However, now, after experiencing this feeling of traversing through the Void the Great and the passing of time, Zhou Tong suddenly grasped a sense of the Time Passes and began to gradually comprehend this secret technique.
The universe was vast and empty. Zhou Tong and his group sat quietly on the Bronze Coffin, drifting alone with the nine dragon corpses.
This was a rare moment of tranquility. Zhou Tong comprehended the Great Dao, the universe, the Void the Great, and the passage of time, verifying them with his own Great Dao. He didn't know how much time had passed when a faint light shone through from ahead. It was... a star field!
"Thump!"
At the same time, a loud tremor shook the ground, and the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin seemed to leap out of a box, appearing in the outside world.
This happened so suddenly; we could see starlight all around us, which was very different from before.
The group looked back and could see the Big Dipper, where there were seven special stars; that was the Big Dipper Star Domain.
"There's no going back now, so let's just stay here and cultivate quietly!" Zhou Tong didn't even glance at the others, and without giving it much thought, he continued to immerse himself in his cultivation.
Zhou Tong has always lacked the time to organize all the Dao and Dharma he has acquired. Now, on this Ancient Starry Road, everything is just right; these next few years will be a time for him to settle down and refine his understanding.
Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin carried Zhou Tong and the others through this desolate universe.
Several months later, Zhou Tong suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. He saw a Purple-Gold Battleship appear not far from the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin.
What is that?
Ye Fan and the others were also stunned. They all looked up and gazed in that direction, their hearts filled with endless shock.
"It has been adrift for at least tens of thousands of years, or even longer!" Purple Haze Fairy's expression changed slightly. "Moreover, there are Life Fluctuation on it. Could there be living beings on it?"
As a person with Innate Dao Embryo, Zi Xia's senses were almost the most acute among them, and she immediately detected a trace of Life Fluctuation within it.
"Whatever living thing it may be, once my Vajra Ring is unleashed, there is absolutely no way it can survive!" Zhou Tong casually tossed it aside, and the Vajra Ring, radiating seven-colored light, instantly magnified in the Void the Great.
"Om!"
The Void the Great trembled, and the Seven-Colored Divine Light emanating from the Vajra Ring formed a vortex, like a giant seven-colored Sea Eye, rapidly swallowing the Purple-Gold Battleship inside.
The enormous, seven-colored vortex caused the entire Void the Great to tremble, and terrifying, ocean-like fluctuations took shape here. The interior of the Vajra Ring seemed to have transformed into a black hole, Swallow Heaven and the earth.
In the vast universe, the light of all the Star Scripture fell upon the diamond, forming a boundless silver ocean that converged into the Vajra Ring.
At the same time, terrifying fluctuations emanated from the Purple-Gold Battleship, but all of these fluctuations were useless within the vortex of Seven-Colored Divine Light.
The Purple-Gold Battleship was gradually swallowed up by the Vajra Ring.
A moment later, the entire Purple-Gold Battleship had completely disappeared, and the Vajra Ring had transformed back into Seven-Colored Divine Light and returned to Zhou Tong's palm.
"Done!" Zhou Tong didn't say much and immediately put away the Vajra Ring.
"What's in there?" Pang Bo asked.
"They were just some Ancient Creatures. They were already exhausted. Once they entered Life Planet, they would immediately slaughter billions of living beings to nourish themselves!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "I took the initiative and killed them directly. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good idea for them to follow behind the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin."
He knew what was inside this Purple-Gold Battleship: all those Ancestor King life force was exhausted, and even three Great Sage among them.
These creatures, once they arrive on Life Planet, will surely commit boundless acts of killing; it's best to eliminate them as soon as possible.
The best time to strike is now when they are at their lowest point.
Furthermore, there's no need to say much to Ye Fan and the others. If they enter the Purple-Gold Battleship out of curiosity, their Life Essence and the source energy they carry could become the power that restores those Ancestor Kings, which would be troublesome.
At this moment, the Vajra Ring is fully revived, and there is absolutely no reason for the Ancestor King in these Purple-Gold Battleship to survive.
Even the Great Sage, in a state of utter exhaustion, could not possibly withstand the Vajra Ring.
Of course, Zhou Tong will not completely annihilate these Ancestor Kings. Whether he can return to Big Dipper depends on the Ancient Races behind these Ancestor Kings!
"Are Primordial Beings so violent?" Ye Fan was puzzled. Some of the legends he had heard described the birth of Primordial Beings as a time of great suffering and destruction.
"Not necessarily, but it's best to get rid of these exhausted fools as soon as possible!" Zhou Tong shook his head, said nothing more, and quietly sat down cross-legged.
After Vajra Ring annihilated these Ancestor Kings, Zhou Tong quietly examined the spoils of war.
There were more than forty Ancestor King, and hundreds of Saint Weapon alone.
Of course, most of these Saint Weapons were almost completely destroyed due to the poor quality of their materials. However, there were still a dozen or so intact Heirloom Sacred Weapon, especially the Undying Wonderful Tree among them, whose power was quite close to Zhou Tong's Vajra Ring.
The so-called Saint Weapon is a weapon forged by a sage.
However, even weapons forged by sages cannot withstand the test of time and will gradually decay. Ordinary Saint Weapon will be mostly broken after tens of thousands of years.
Only those Saint Weapon forged using extremely precious materials, such as the Nine Heavens Divine Jade King or the Great Luo Silver Essence, can endure. These Saint Weapon are what are known as Heirloom Sacred Weapon.
"We've really struck it rich... We have so many Heirloom Sacred Weapons!" Zhou Tong's eyes lit up as he looked at the Saint Weapon inside the Vajra Ring.
However, he quickly shifted his attention away from the Saint Weapon and instead focused on a pure white skull. It was the skull of a human female saint.
"Wu Shi the Great's confidante, Di Lisi?" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
He carefully kept the skull, thinking that it might come in handy if he ever entered Purple Mountain again.
