The massive blue battleship traveled through the dark, icy universe. It looked like a flat blue ship, but its bow bore three sword-shaped cannons.
All kinds of dazzling starlight matter were slowly drawn into the cannons. One glance was enough to tell that they were charging up. Tadpole-like Saint-level Runes wriggled over the sword-shaped muzzles.
Inside the blue battleship's control room were three youthful, beautiful women. They looked at Xu Changqing in surprise and delight. "Sister, I didn't expect to encounter those natives in the Starry Sky during this trial. And they're members of the younger generation with special physiques."
The cockpit was brightly lit, metallic gleams flowing everywhere. Some kind of text and program displays flickered across the blue screens, while web-like threads surrounded Xu Changqing.
At that moment, a mature beauty with pink hair walked over to the blue screen floating in midair and tapped a button.
With a beep, Xu Changqing outside suddenly felt a wave of perception sweep across him. A red line appeared on the blue Starry Sky battleship and scanned him.
Name: ???
Gender: Male.
Strength: Half-Saint.
Physique: ???
Status: Peak condition.
Emotional fluctuation: None.
Estimated combat power: Easily subdued.
"Eh, why can't his physique be scanned?" the pink-haired woman muttered curiously.
"That makes no sense. Our family has already collected information on every Divine Body and King Body across the entire Starry Sky. We're familiar with the aura fluctuations of all those physiques. What kind of physique does he have?" The other two women were equally shocked.
"This is a physique we haven't collected before. Good. Capture him and study him." A Black-haired Girl in tight-fitting battle armor spoke with some excitement.
They did not take Xu Changqing seriously at all. After all, they were extremely confident in their Saint-grade Battle Armor.
He was merely a Half-Saint. They were Half-Saint powerhouses themselves. Could three Half-Saints piloting a Saint-grade Battleship really lose to someone with an unknown physique?
"Beep beep beep..."
"Attention! Attention! Massive energy approaching!"
The bright, warm cockpit suddenly turned crimson. The three women froze for a moment before looking out into the Starry Sky.
Yet where was the Starry Sky outside? The originally dark and boundless universe had vanished, replaced by a crimson Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.
Splash...
The pink-haired woman suddenly heard the sound of flowing water beside her. Then they saw blood streaming in from the void.
"Eternal Star Domain?" A cold voice passed through the blue battleship and rang in the ears of the three women.
Xu Changqing's white hair fluttered wildly. His face was expressionless, his gaze incomparably cold, as though he were looking at a pile of scrap iron. Dense white particles of light surged around him. His power began to boil, and his aura continued to rise.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Warning! Warning!"
"The opponent has entered the Forbidden Domain. Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!"
The blue battle armor began issuing urgent alerts. They were not afraid of the Forbidden Domain itself, but they feared that their opponent had entered the Eight Prohibitions, or even the legendary Divine Prohibition.
The pink-haired woman was growing nervous. Even the Saint-grade Battle Armor was issuing urgent warnings and had already begun retreating.
But she discovered that the white-haired man was merely standing quietly atop the battleship. The enormous vessel trembled violently, as though it could not bear his weight.
"Impossible! There was no great battle, no eruption 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.
The once-relaxed women had now panicked.
They had not expected this white-haired young man to refuse to play the pig to eat the tiger. Why had he directly unleashed all his combat power?
Playing the pig to eat the tiger was not Xu Changqing's style.
After drifting through hardship for three hundred years, he had long understood one principle: once a battle began, he had to kill his opponent without holding anything back. Otherwise, there would be endless future trouble.
As long as the source of the trouble was killed, the trouble itself would naturally disappear.
At this moment, he had developed killing intent toward the living beings inside the blue battleship. There was no other reason. They had set their sights on him.
If he did not kill them, then once they returned to their own star domain, trouble would come without end.
Even if killing them left some kind of mark within him, and even if someone would eventually learn of it—
He would not leave any opponent alive.
What came later could be dealt with later.
"If we can't run, then we can only fight." The pink-haired woman gritted her teeth, for she had discovered that an inexplicable force had sealed off all their escape routes.
Boom!
Xu Changqing suddenly slammed a fist into the blue battleship. Boundless light erupted, instantly cracking its surface. Just one punch had cracked a Saint-grade item.
"What terrifying physical body. Elder Ming's Saint-grade Battle Armor was forged with Great Luo Divine Iron, yet he cracked it with one punch." The three women were shocked, but now was not the time for shock. They had to find a way to escape.
They trusted the battleship's judgment far too much. Not run? If they did not run, they would only be waiting for death!
They could not even summon the thought of resisting or fighting back, because it was unrealistic. If one punch could crack the battleship, what chance did they have?
They were also part of the younger generation, but compared to powerhouses with special physiques, they were no different from children.
Boom!
The battleship began to attack as well. Its enormous body bloomed with brilliant blue light. Dots of starlight blossomed within the blue sea of radiance, like a tumbling galaxy. Special matter swept forth, while Saint-level law runes transformed into divine light over the blue battleship.
Like meteors, streams of dazzling divine light burst from the surface of the blue battleship. They became splendid fireworks, enveloping Xu Changqing like a Heavenly Net.
Every streak of divine light had already reached the level of a Saint.
But Xu Changqing had entered the Eight Prohibitions state. He was originally a Half-Saint, so even without entering the Divine Prohibition Domain, he could kill a Saint at some cost.
Because the Supreme Heartless Body could easily communicate with the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
It possessed the traits of the Innate Dao Body, the toughness of a Saint Body, and the absurd Spiritual Energy absorption speed of an Origin Spirit Body.
Boom!
Xu Changqing's white hair danced wildly, and his expression did not change in the slightest. He merely stretched out one hand. A black hole opened in the void behind him, and then a white jade-like hand expanded enormously, instantly seizing the blue battleship.
Crack...
The giant hand clenched, and the battleship gave off the sound of splitting apart. Yet it still struggled desperately, trying to escape the giant hand's grasp.
Buzz!
A waterfall-like trail of light burst from its rear, attempting to flee from that giant hand. Yet unexpectedly, the hand clamped down tightly.
The hand and battleship formed a strange stillness and balance. Grating cracks rang out, the friction deafening enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Sparks continuously burst from Xu Changqing's hand.
Perhaps a living Saint standing before him would pose some slight threat, but a Saint-grade item posed no threat whatsoever.
It was as easy as using one hand to pin down a Severing Dao cultivator.
My physique is very powerful. If I still had my Mortal Body, I would at least need to enter the Divine Prohibition to achieve this. Even if I had a Divine Body, I could not guarantee that I could fight a Saint, much less seize a Saint-grade item bare-handed.
Xu Changqing assessed his combat power and gained a clear understanding. An ordinary Saint would be instantly killed by him.
He also gained some understanding of his Supreme Heartless Body. It could suppress the enemy's Saint Dao Laws.
An opponent who originally possessed ten layers of combat power would be reduced by his physique to eighty percent, or even fifty percent.
Because he had undergone the cleansing of countless Great Dao Laws and been washed by the special White Immortal Water, his physique had developed a certain suppressive effect on the Dao.
He had once said, "The Great Dao is heartless. Laws are heartless. Order and rules are all heartless. Yet emotional people cultivate along the paths bestowed by these Great Daos, while dreaming of defying heaven and refusing to respect 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 tempered through countless hardships. He had never thought of defying heaven to Sever Dao or doing anything that went against the Great Dao. Having passed the Great Dao's trials, his physical body should be able to stand alongside the Dao.
How could an elder brother watch an enemy kill his younger brother right before him?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With that thought, Xu Changqing began smashing the Saint-grade Battle Armor apart. Even when the Saint-grade Battle Armor erupted with all its strength, it failed to injure Xu Changqing in the slightest.
He gripped one of the cannons with one hand, then raised his right fist high. Cold blue light began blooming from his fist, brilliant beyond compare as it illuminated the darkness.
Milky-white halos spread continuously from his body, like a pebble falling into a tranquil spring and sending ripples outward.
This was the effect of his physique, creating a sense of suppression against those who cultivated the Great Dao.
Clang!
Another punch fell. The blue battleship let out a wail of unbearable strain as its enormous blue metal body began to crack apart.
At last, parts of it turned into irregular fragments that drifted through the boundless universe.
"He... he shattered a Saint-grade item bare-handed!" The pink-haired woman's pupils contracted. She stood nearly one meter seventy tall, but her long, creamy-white legs had gone weak.
Bang!
Another tremendous crash rang out. The three women raised their heads and found an arm above them. Veins bulged across it, every blood vessel coiling like a horned dragon.
The battleship had been pierced through by Xu Changqing.
"Hand over the coordinates of the Human Ancient Path, or the coordinates of the Eternal Star Domain."
Xu Changqing spoke, directly tearing apart the battleship's protective shield and shattering the laws left behind by a Saint.
As for what that youth had said about entering the Human Ancient Path by setting foot in the Starry Sky, the Starry Sky was so vast. How was he supposed to know which direction to take?
Perhaps he had already passed it by.
The only reason he had not immediately killed the three women was to obtain Starry Sky coordinates.
If he could not obtain the coordinates of the Human Ancient Path, then he could obtain the coordinates of their star domain.
