Eternal Star Domain

The three women were all stunned. They had never imagined that this anciently dressed human cultivator would be so formidable, directly shattering the ancient Saint laws left behind by the strongest expert of their family.

It was over. They had come out with little to gain, only to possibly die here.

They were all despairing as they watched the hole pierced through by an arm above them get torn open by a pair of hands. The top was pitch-black as Xu Changqing leaped directly into the battleship.

Buzz!

A pungent stench of blood filled the area. This place had already become a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood Vision, enveloping all three women.

"Is this... hell..." a delicate, petite loli asked with a trembling voice.

They had never seen such a scene before. The bright control room filled with machinery had vanished, replaced by a battlefield where heaven and earth were thrown into chaos.

Here, heaven collapses and earth cracks. Powerful experts lay in pools of blood, mountains split apart as bloody water flowed through them, the ground caved in, and magma erupted mixed with blood. Countless crimson pillars shot into the sky, connecting it to the heavens in an utterly terrifying sight.

Countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood stretched out before them. Severed limbs floated in the bloody sea, snowy-white mountains of bones rose up, great peaks formed from piled corpses stood tall, and a scarlet moon hung high in the sky.

A white-haired young man stood in midair with his hands behind his back, looking down at them coldly. The aura emanating from him made them feel suffocated.

"Our strength has been suppressed to the Severing Dao realm. Even the artifacts within us cannot be activated. It is as though something is afraid..." A black-haired woman could not stop her teeth from chattering. What kind of strange method was this?

The pink-haired woman had the face of a first love, captivating large eyes, a delicate pink nose, a proud figure, and exquisite long legs.

She gathered her courage and looked up at the heavens, immediately meeting Xu Changqing's gaze.

Those eyes were cold to the extreme, devoid of any expression. He merely watched them silently without saying much.

"Who are you?" the three women could not help asking.

There were many peerless experts like this in the Starry Sky, but those capable of using Half-Saint cultivation to smash apart a spacecraft forged by an ancient Saint were exceedingly rare. Even the legendary Imperial Sons should not have been capable of it.

Xu Changqing did not answer with his name, because the dead would not remember it. Instead, he asked, "Hand over the coordinates of the Human Race Ancient Trial Path, or the coordinates of your star domain."

His voice had originally carried a sexy, magnetic quality. Yet when it sounded beside their ears, it was pleasant but exceptionally cold.

"The Human Race Ancient Trial Path?" the pink-haired woman murmured, unable to stop herself from glancing at Xu Changqing. Those who could embark upon the Human Ancient Path were all powerful figures in their own right.

Moreover, this man had crossed the Starry Sky alone with Half-Saint cultivation. He ought to have been part of the younger generation from some enormous star domain.

"We do not have the coordinates of the Human Race Ancient Trial Path," the pink-haired woman said.

A delicate, petite loli, her eyes filled with watery tears and her fair legs trembling, cautiously said in a soft voice, "I do not know where the coordinates of our star domain are either, but we can take you there."

"As long as you do not kill us, we can do anything you ask."

They were afraid. Thoroughly afraid. From the moment Xu Changqing displayed his might, they had already lost all thought of resistance.

The strongest members of their family were only Saints. How could they possibly compare to this vicious man?

Even if they possessed Sacred Artifacts, the white-haired young man before them could easily crush them.

They also possessed some ancient and powerful artifacts, but how could someone as powerful as this white-haired young man possibly lack such things?

Therefore, not resisting was one thing. The moment they resisted, they would die immediately.

Xu Changqing glanced indifferently at the pitiful-looking loli and said, "You want to take me to your star domain, then have your elders see your condition and gather a group to surround and attack me?"

"Or have you felt despair and known that you cannot survive, so you intend to take me into a forbidden place to perish together?"

Although this loli was beautiful and adorable, Xu Changqing would not go easy on her.

"If you kill us, you will not be able to find a life-bearing star domain either. As far as I know, without accurate coordinates in this place, even a Saint King cannot get out," the pink-haired woman boldly said.

"Furthermore, Taboo Curses have been placed in our seas of consciousness and Nascent Souls. The moment someone tries to explore them, they will immediately self-immolate. Even a Great Sage cannot stop it."

"If you kill us and travel through the Starry Sky alone, finding an ancient life-bearing land will take you at least several hundred years."

Although the three women were afraid, they remained calm and rational.

Xu Changqing knew what they were thinking because he could observe people's emotions.

Before the three women, white mist drifted above their crowns. His divine perception told him that they were afraid and did not dare lie.

This left Xu Changqing somewhat speechless, and his intense killing intent receded slightly.

There was no helping it. They had not lied. If he killed them, he would not be able to find the route to the ancient path, and he did not even know where this place was.

"Which star domain are you from?"

There were too many technological star domains in the universe. Xu Changqing was not certain whether this was the Eternal Star Domain.

"And what powerful experts does your family have?"

He asked again. He still wanted confirmation. If they lied, he would kill them without hesitation.

"We are from the Luo Family of the Eternal Star Domain."

"Our family currently has only three Saints. We possess five sets of Saint-grade Battle Armor, all left behind by successive family heads."

The three women answered truthfully and obediently, not daring to lie at all.

"Splash, splash..."

The blood around them continued to flow. The pungent bloody smell made the loli woman cough and vomit continuously.

Xu Changqing quietly considered the pros and cons beneath the open sky. The advantage was that the Eternal Star Domain had many good things, and Ye Fan had obtained many things there as well.

But it was still two hundred thousand years before Ye Fan's era. He did not know whether there would be anything worthwhile now.

The disadvantage was that traveling the ancient path might be somewhat more difficult. There should also be Great Sages stationed there.

But he was not afraid, because Xu Changqing's strength was already close to reaching the Saint realm. If he were hunted down or surrounded then, he could directly undergo tribulation and become a Saint.

In this era, few things could block the perception of Heavenly Tribulation.

Methods for blocking the perception of Heavenly Tribulation only began to appear after Wushi created them himself.

"Since Wan Qing and Wushi both left behind legends there, I should leave behind a legend as well." Xu Changqing suddenly recalled what the Azure Emperor and Emperor Wushi had done in the Eternal Star Domain.

After Wushi became a Saint, he entered the Starry Sky Ancient Road and arrived at the Eternal Star Domain. Because of his special physique, those people regarded him as a treasure and wanted to raise him in captivity. Yet he left a profound impression on them, nearly sinking the Eternal Star Domain.

The Azure Emperor had been the same. Others coveted his blood, and he left a profound impression on the Eternal Star Domain.

Ye Fan was the same.

And now, he was the same.

Xu Changqing was somewhat speechless. The Eternal Star Domain was truly the most hated star domain in Covering the Heavens—greedy beyond measure and incapable of learning its lesson.

"Lead the way." He decided to take a look. If someone truly coveted his physique, he would not mind undergoing tribulation before some powerful experts and destroying the Eternal Kingdom.

As for the three women exposing his identity?

Impossible. Once they arrived there, he would kill them directly.

Besides, even if he were exposed, he was not afraid.

Xu Changqing withdrew the Emperor's Fall Phenomenon, and the damaged cockpit reappeared before them.

"Yes." The pink-haired woman did not dare disobey in the slightest. She walked over to the blue screen and pressed buttons at random.

The battleship gradually began to restore itself. The fragments in the corners slowly extended outward, and the dented hull gradually filled out again.

During this time, Xu Changqing used his Divine Sense to search every part of the ship. He found some energy-containing crystals, rare mineral ores, and even some Divine Iron.

Without any hesitation, he confiscated them all, not letting even a single energy-containing stone escape.

The three women showed pained expressions. These were Star Cores they had gathered only after crossing the Starry Sky for a long time, as well as Divine Iron found on uninhabited planets.

Buzz!

The spacecraft restarted. A wondrous energy pierced through the dark universe, and a black hole slowly appeared outside the window.

It was an ancient Star Gate. Streams of light swirled within its circular entrance. It was a node where time and space met, leading to an unknown place.

The spacecraft carried Xu Changqing directly into it. No one knew how much time passed before the spacecraft burst from the Star Gate and entered the dark universe, where everything was desolate and cold.

Time flew by in the universe. Along the way, one magnificent star after another shone with dazzling light, the only illumination within the black universe.

Xu Changqing stood quietly within the cockpit brimming with technological sense, silently watching the Starry Sky beyond the several-hundred-meter-long window before him. A multicolored river of stars visibly swept past.

Very soon, Xu Changqing saw the ship begin to slow down. Then the aura of life-bearing planets began to spread out.

Ahead was a brilliant blue star domain, where rivers of stars flowed. No one knew how many stars it contained. Merely drawing near, his vision was obscured by countless meteors.

At the very center of that star domain stood an incomparably massive star. Even from a great distance, he could sense its vast and majestic aura, as though an Ancient Great Emperor stood with his back to them.

Around that enormous Ancient Star were several smaller life-bearing planets.

It seemed they had arrived.

Xu Changqing thought to himself, then coldly said, "Stop. Open the hatch."

The three women froze, but they did not dare entertain any thoughts.

Following Xu Changqing's orders, they stopped the ship. In the end, they watched Xu Changqing appear in the Starry Sky.

At this sight, they were ecstatic and directly poured all Divine Power and resources into the blue battleship.

Boom!

The spacecraft erupted with an incomparably brilliant radiance. Its tail light resembled someone ascending to immortality. In but an instant, it vanished from the area and appeared above the great star.

Xu Changqing sneered at the sight. A white Bone Saber appeared in his hand, and an eerie aura spread from his body.

"Hm? Why is the aura of Heavenly Tribulation spreading beyond the domain?" Some powerful experts clearly sensed the aura of Heavenly Tribulation drawing near.

Before they could react, they saw a world-shaking saber radiance tear through the universe of the Eternal Star Domain, followed by a string of explosions.

Xu Changqing unleashed the Heaven's Will Saber Art. No matter how one dodged, it could not be avoided. Even one who possessed the Movement Secret Art could not evade Heaven's Will's strike.

The white saber radiance was like a streak of silk, piercing through countless stars and cleaving every meteor and star in its path in two. The cuts were incomparably smooth, and even the sun in the skies of the Eternal Star Domain exploded in an instant.

"Pfft!"

In but an instant, before the three women could rejoice for long, they and their spacecraft were decapitated together.

Boom!

Pale white flames erupted from the blue spacecraft, and the Saint-grade spacecraft swiftly turned into crimson liquid.

The three women also turned into bone ash, mixing with molten iron as it dripped into the Eternal Star Domain.

"I would not mercifully let you return. That would be no different from letting a tiger return to the mountains. Even if you pose no threat, you would still bring trouble," Xu Changqing muttered coldly.

The family of those three women posed no threat to him, but what if they informed those who had Great Sages?

To solve trouble was to solve those who created it.
