Heavenly Demon City

The Star Alliance's staging ground for its war to conquer the Heavenly Demon Star Domain, the resource distribution hub known as the Heavenly Star Plain, was dotted with rows of starports scattered through the void. They shone like stars embedded in the emptiness, forming a vast field of stars.

At the center of this stellar field, a gigantic Starlight Gate stood open. Starships—and even starports—were constantly passing through it, traveling between the Heavenly Star Plain and the Heavenly Demon Star Domain.

At that moment, Liang Ji and the others were aboard the Dragon Snake starship. Following the guidance of the Star Net, they joined the queue of starships and starports, slowly making their way toward the Starlight Gate.

As they watched the Starlight Gate draw nearer, growing ever taller, the members of the team couldn't help but stare in amazement. They observed it closely, taking in the immense gate.

Even Chu Yue had temporarily put aside her research into merging the Dragon Snake starship with the Elemental Nest. She, too, was absorbed in studying the approaching Starlight Gate.

"The many starports scattered across the Heavenly Star Plain like stars form a Starport Great Formation that has surely reached the ninth rank. This Starlight Gate is linked to the Starport Great Formation spanning the entire Heavenly Star Plain, and can only operate when the formation activates it. The gate itself must also be a ninth-rank Houtian Spiritual Treasure!"

Chu Yue gazed intently at the Starlight Gate as it drew nearer, her voice low with awe.

Though she wasn't a weapon refiner, she was an immortal-rank formation master. She could make educated guesses about the grand formation created by the starports scattered across the Heavenly Star Plain like stars.

From this formation, she could infer something of the immense Starlight Gate's rank
