The black, streamlined spacecraft slowly flew out along the passage from the War Base, which resembled a ferocious giant beast.
It then accelerated instantly, shooting toward the depths of space and vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.
"Beep! Master, the spacecraft has entered Dark Universe travel. Estimated arrival at the Purple Splendor Star River in ten days!"
"Those ten days are perfect for condensing the Soul Suppressing Seal!" Inside the spacecraft's control room, Lian Luo nodded slightly. During this time, he had condensed the Soul Suppressing Seal many times in the Virtual Universe and had almost never failed. It was time to condense it in reality as well.
After reviewing the process of condensing the Soul Suppressing Seal once more, Lian Luo closed his eyes and pondered for a long while. His expression gradually turned solemn as wisps of divine power within his mind began to change.
Under his control, vast amounts of divine power formed threads. Those threads then rapidly and methodically entwined, gradually forming the outline of an ancient seal. More and more divine-power threads wrapped around that outline, slowly filling its interior...
This was a meticulous process, and Lian Luo did not dare let his guard down. He focused completely, carefully observing where every thread of divine power landed and maintaining the stability of the ancient seal.
This was the step most prone to problems when condensing the Soul Suppressing Seal. Billions upon billions of divine-power threads each had to be wound into their proper positions. Not a single one could go wrong. The slightest mistake would cause the entire Soul Suppressing Seal to collapse violently and injure his divine body!
Fortunately, he had already condensed it many times in the Virtual Universe and had stumbled into every possible pitfall. Though winding the divine-power threads was troublesome, he successfully completed it after several days of effort.
Once this step was completed, an ancient and mysterious Soul Suppressing Seal had formed within Lian Luo's mind! Its enigmatic patterns were vivid and lifelike, as though it were a genuine great seal!
"Next, it's time to suppress the soul!"
Lian Luo took a deep breath. Within his mind, the fully formed ancient seal suddenly lit up with a faint glow. The glow immediately radiated outward as countless tiny threads of divine power extended from the seal, instantly spreading throughout his entire divine body. Every part of his divine body was connected to the ancient Soul Suppressing Seal!
The Soul Suppressing Seal was complete!
While Lian Luo's Main Body was condensing the Soul Suppressing Seal, the Nine Li clone had already thoroughly mastered the second level of the "Myriad Streams Return to Origin Secret Technique," allowing him to control one hundred soul servants!
One hundred soul servants—and all of them possessed their own intelligence, capable of cultivating independently and constantly making breakthroughs!
Yet even now, he had not controlled a single soul servant.
The slots were precious, so naturally, he would not enslave just any alien race member he came across!
At the very least, it had to be a talented member of an alien race before they were worth targeting!
"I should condense the Soul Suppressing Seal too and strengthen my soul defenses!" Inside the blood-red triangular spacecraft, the Nine Li clone chuckled and prepared to condense the Soul Suppressing Seal as well, protecting his own soul!
But just as he was about to begin cultivating, the omnipresent Star River Heavy Water around him suddenly began boiling like heated water.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The boiling Star River Heavy Water began flowing at high speed. Its powerful impact instantly swept countless wreckages and stellar fragments through the Star River, even knocking the triangular spacecraft carrying the Nine Li clone off course.
"This..." The Nine Li clone's blood-red eyes stared outside the spacecraft in shock. Then, a flash of wild joy passed through them. "A Star River riot? Could Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water have condensed?"
Why were there so many Marquis Immortals in the Purple Splendor Star River, with even quite a few King-level Immortals fighting and killing one another here?
The Star River's special environment was one reason. Another was the treasures left behind by countless alien races that had died beneath the combined attacks of numerous Universe Venerables during the opening of the Outer Domain Battlefield.
But what attracted Marquis and King Level experts the most was a special phenomenon within the Purple Splendor Star River: the Star River riot!
When a Star River riot occurred, not only was there a certain chance for treasures deeply buried throughout the Star River to be revealed, but the Purple Splendor Star River itself would also nurture a rare treasure known as Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water!
Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water was a peculiar treasure naturally nurtured by the universe. Its most miraculous use was cultivating plant lifeforms! When a plant lifeform evolved and transformed into an Immortal God, if it was provided with a portion of Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water, there was a fifty percent chance that its strength would rise by a minor level after completing its evolution!
For example, if the original plan was to cultivate an Early Marquis Moyun Vine, then using a portion of Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water gave it a fifty percent chance of transforming into a High Marquis Moyun Vine!
Of course, no one would waste it like that.
Experts who could afford Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water would not merely cultivate Early Marquis plant lifeforms!
Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water was effective even on Peak Marquis plant lifeforms.
If one were originally cultivating a Peak Marquis plant lifeform, then having it devour a portion of Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water during its evolution gave it a fifty percent chance of transforming into an Early King-level plant lifeform!
With such effects, Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water naturally came at an outrageously high price!
A single portion of Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water cost over one billion Chaos Units! And it was nearly impossible to buy even at that price!
At those super auctions, its price could rise by several tenths more!
"Every Star River riot is a feast of slaughter!" Bloodlust flickered in the Nine Li clone's eyes. "My chances of seizing Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water alone aren't high, but this is the perfect opportunity, while so many experts are gathered, to kill more Marquis experts and accumulate progress toward opening Blind Boxes!"
"Let's go now!" The Nine Li clone immediately controlled the spacecraft and flew toward the very core of the Star River riot.
If Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water was born, it would definitely appear at the very center of the Star River riot!
At the same time, the many King Level and Marquis experts adventuring in the Purple Splendor Star River all felt the Star River's terrifying upheaval.
"Haha, the Star River is rioting again! The Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water is mine!"
"Looks like my luck is pretty good. I just arrived, and I've already encountered a Star River riot! The treasure belongs to me!"
"I'm not qualified to contend for Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water, but I can still go take a look and see whether any hidden treasures have been swept out!"
"Hahaha... Big Brother, the three of us brothers joining forces will definitely seize that Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water!"
If one looked down from above the Purple Splendor Star River at this moment, one would see that a stretch of the crimson, azure, and nine-colored Star River nearly one trillion kilometers long had suddenly begun boiling.
Rumble rumble rumble—
It was as though a giant were stirring the river. An enormous vortex formed at the center of the Star River, one trillion kilometers in diameter. The vortex, with tens of thousands of spiral arms, spun madly and emanated a terrifying presence!
At this moment, even World Masters would be shredded to pieces upon entering the vortex, while military lord Immortal Gods would struggle to take a single step!
Yet streaks of light gathered from every direction, flying toward the depths of the vortex!
The feast of slaughter had begun!
