Beyond the heavens.
Black Meteor Star.
It was called a star, but its diameter did not exceed three hundred li. In the space beyond the heavens, it already counted as a rather large meteorite.
This was where the Guardian lineage, driven out by the two great Immortal Sects, resided.
At this moment, the entire meteorite was a river of blood. Inside an ancient hall, only a few dozen members of the Guardian lineage remained. They wore yellow robes, and nearly every one of them was stained with blood.
"Alas, I wonder if Liu Zi managed to escape!" An elder-robed man spoke, blood still spilling from his mouth. His injuries were severe.
"Great Elder, the Third Elder's Void Technique is scarcely weaker than the Patriarch's. He will definitely escape their blockade."
A young man tried to comfort him.
In truth, they had no confidence that the Third Elder could escape and deliver the warning. Even their Patriarch, Li Qingyang, had been grievously wounded by the enemy.
The Ancestral Vein Guardian lineage currently had four God Ascensions: three Lower God Ascensions and one Mid-level Ascended God—the three great elders and the Patriarch.
Among them, the Second Elder had already been killed by the enemy, his head used to consecrate their banner.
Of the remaining three God Ascensions, two were gravely injured, while one had fled, his life and death unknown.
No one knew where this group of strange people had emerged from. The moment they arrived, they demanded to plunder them, ordering them to hand over every treasure and become their slaves.
Above Black Meteor Star.
A pitch-black, dilapidated ship resembling a pirate vessel stood suspended there. A ferocious flood-dragon head was carved into its prow, and thirty-six spirit-stone cannons lined each side, though more than half had already been damaged.
