A massive blue warship sailed through the cold, dark universe. It resembled a flat, blue boat, but its prow featured three sword-shaped muzzles.

Various dazzling starlight substances were slowly drawn into the muzzles. It was clear they were charging up, and tadpole-like Saint-grade runes writhed on the sword-shaped muzzles.

Inside the control room of the blue warship, three young, beautiful women looked at Xu Changqing in surprise, their faces filled with delight. "Sister, I didn't expect this trial to lead us to encounter those natives in the starry sky, and they're even from the younger generation with special physiques," one said.

The cockpit was bright, with various metallic sheens flowing, blue screens displaying text and program interfaces, and spiderweb-like wires surrounding Xu Changqing.

At this moment, a woman with pink hair, resembling an older sister, walked up to a floating blue screen and pressed a button.

With a beep, Xu Changqing outside suddenly felt a scan pass over him. A red line appeared on the blue starry warship, scanning him.

Name: ??? Gender: Male. Strength: Half-Saint. Physique: ??? Status: Peak Condition. Emotional Fluctuation: None. Estimated Combat Power: Easily handled.

"Huh? Why can't the physique be scanned?" the pink-haired woman murmured curiously.

"There's no reason. Our family has collected all Divine Bodies and King Bodies in the entire starry sky. We're familiar with the aura fluctuations of these physiques. What kind of physique does he have?" the other two women were also very surprised.

"This is a physique we haven't collected before. That's good, let's capture him and study him," a black-haired girl in a tight-fitting battle suit said with some excitement.

They didn't take Xu Changqing seriously at all, confident in their Saint-grade battle suits.

Just a mere Half-Saint, and they were also Half-Saint powerhouses. Could three Half-Saint powerhouses operating a Saint-grade warship not defeat a physique they'd never encountered?

"Beep beep beep..."

"Attention, attention, a massive energy source is approaching!"

At this moment, the bright and warm cockpit suddenly turned blood red. The three women froze for a moment and then looked out into the starry sky.

They found that the outside was no longer the starry sky. The deep, dark starry sky had disappeared, replaced by a scarlet mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

Splash...

The pink-haired woman suddenly heard the sound of flowing water beside her, and then they saw blood flowing in from the void.

"Eternal Star Domain?" a cold voice echoed through the blue warship into the women's ears.

Xu Changqing's white hair flew, his expressionless face filled with indifference, as if he were looking at scrap metal. White particles of light emanated from his body, his power beginning to boil, his aura continuously rising.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Warning, warning!"

"The opponent has entered a forbidden zone, evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!"

The blue battle suit began to emit urgent sounds. They weren't afraid of entering a forbidden zone, but they were afraid of the opponent entering the Eight Prohibitions or the legendary Divine Prohibition.

The pink-haired woman was a little nervous. Even the Saint-grade battle suit was making urgent sounds and was already attempting to retreat.

But she found that the white-haired man was simply standing on the warship, and the entire massive warship was trembling violently, as if unable to bear his weight.

"Impossible. Without a great battle, without an explosion between life and death, how could he possibly trigger the Eight Prohibitions or the Divine Prohibition?" The three women were dumbfounded. The Eight Prohibitions existed in their Eternal Star Domain, but the Divine Prohibition did not.

What was originally a relaxed and comfortable situation had now turned into panic.

They couldn't understand why this white-haired young man wasn't playing the pig to eat the tiger and unleashing his full power directly?

Playing the pig to eat the tiger was not Xu Changqing's style.

Having wandered for three hundred years, he had long known a truth: once a great battle begins, one must go all out to kill the opponent, otherwise, endless troubles will follow.

As long as the source of the trouble is eliminated, the trouble itself will disappear.

At this moment, he had already developed a killing intent towards the beings inside the blue warship, simply because they had designs on him.

If he didn't kill them, once they returned to their star domain, endless trouble would follow.

Although killing them would leave some kind of mark within him, or perhaps be discovered sooner or later.

But he would not let any opponent live.

What happens later will be dealt with later.

"We can't escape, so we can only fight," the pink-haired woman gritted her teeth, realizing that a mysterious force had sealed off all their escape routes.

"Dong!"

Suddenly, Xu Changqing punched the blue warship, unleashing immeasurable light and cracking the surface of the warship. With just one punch, he cracked a Saint-grade item.

"What a terrifying physical body. The Saint-grade battle suit made by Master Ming is reinforced with Great Luo Divine Iron, yet he cracked it with a single punch." The three women were astonished, but this was not the time for astonishment; it was time to find a way to escape this place.

They had trusted the warship's judgment too much. If they didn't run? If they didn't run, they would wait for death!

They couldn't even muster the thought of resisting or counter-attacking, because it was unrealistic. If he could crack the warship with one punch, what about them?

Although they were also part of the younger generation, compared to those powerhouses with special physiques, they were no different from children.

"Boom!"

The battleship began its attack as well. Its massive hull started emitting brilliant blue light, with specks of starlight blooming within the sea of blue, like a churning galaxy. Special matter swept out, and Saint-grade law runes transformed into divine light on the blue warship.

Like meteors, they erupted from the surface of the blue battleship. Streaks of radiant divine light turned into dazzling fireworks, forming a celestial net that enveloped Xu Changqing.

Each beam of divine light had reached the level of a Saint.

But at this moment, Xu Changqing had entered his Eight Prohibitions state. He already possessed Half-Saint cultivation, so even without entering the Divine Prohibition realm, he could still kill a Saint at some cost.

This was because of his Supreme Heartless Body, which could easily communicate with the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

It possessed the characteristics of the Innate Dao Body, the resilience of the Saint Body, and the monstrous spiritual energy absorption speed of the Origin Spirit Body.

"Boom!"

Xu Changqing's white hair whipped around, his face devoid of expression. He simply extended a hand, tearing open a black hole in the void behind him. Then, a white jade hand grew to an immense size, instantly grabbing the blue battleship.

"Crack…"

The giant hand clenched, and the battleship began to creak, but it struggled, trying to break free from the giant hand's grasp.

Hum!

From its tail, a waterfall-like stream of light erupted, attempting to escape the giant hand. However, the giant hand held on tightly.

The hand and the battleship formed a strange stillness and balance. A grating, creaking sound echoed, so loud it made one's scalp tingle.

Sparks continuously flew from Xu Changqing's hand.

Perhaps a living Saint would pose a slight threat to him, but a Saint-grade item posed no threat at all.

It was as simple as him pinning a Dao Severing cultivator with one hand.

My physique is incredibly powerful. If this were my Mortal Body phase, I would need to enter Divine Prohibition at least to achieve this. Even with my Divine Body, I couldn't guarantee fighting a Saint, let alone grabbing a Saint-grade item with my bare hands.

Xu Changqing mentally estimated his combat power, gaining a clear understanding. Ordinary Saints would be instantly killed by him.

He also gained some insight into his Supreme Heartless Body: it could suppress the Saint Dao laws of his opponents.

An opponent who originally possessed ten layers of combat power would only have eight or even five layers affected by his physique.

This was because he had undergone countless baptisms of Dao laws and been cleansed by the special white immortal water, granting his physique a suppressive effect on the Dao.

He had once said: "The Great Dao is heartless, laws are heartless, order and rules are all heartless. Yet, sentient beings cultivate the paths laid down by these Great Daos, foolishly aspiring to defy heaven and disrespect the Great Dao."

It was precisely for this reason that Xu Changqing's physique had become extraordinarily special.

He had no emotions, and his physical body had been forged through layers of hardship. He had never sought to defy heaven or sever the Dao, nor had he acted against the Great Dao. By passing the Great Dao's trials, his physical body should now be comparable to the Dao itself.

How could a brother watch as his enemy killed his own sibling before his eyes?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With this thought, Xu Changqing began to smash the Saint-grade battleship. Even with the Saint-grade battleship unleashing its full power, it didn't harm Xu Changqing in the slightest.

He grabbed the cannon's muzzle with one hand, then raised his right fist high. A cold, blue light began to bloom from his fist, incredibly brilliant, illuminating the darkness.

A milky white halo continuously spread from his body, like a pebble dropped into a calm spring, creating ripples.

This was the effect of his physique, generating a sense of suppression in those who cultivated the Great Dao.

"Clang!"

He punched down again. The blue battleship let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain. The massive blue metal began to crack.

Finally, parts of it disintegrated into fragments of irregular shapes, drifting in the deep universe.

"He… he shattered a Saint-grade item with his bare hands!" The pink-haired older sister's pupils constricted. She was a full meter seventy tall, and her fair, slender legs felt weak at that moment.

"Bang!"

Another deafening sound. The three women looked up and saw an arm appear above their heads. Veins bulged on the arm, each blood vessel coiled like a dragon.

The battleship had been pierced through by Xu Changqing.

"Hand over the coordinates of the Ancient Path, or hand over the coordinates of the Eternal Star Domain."

Xu Changqing spoke, directly tearing through the battleship's protective shield and shattering the Saint's residual laws.

As for what the young man had said about entering the Ancient Path by ascending to the starry sky, the sky was vast; how would he know where to go?

Perhaps he had already passed it?

The reason he hadn't immediately killed the three women was simply to obtain the starry sky coordinates.

If he couldn't get the coordinates of the Ancient Path, he could at least get the coordinates of their star domain.
