The three women were stunned. They hadn't expected this ancient-looking human being to be so powerful, directly shattering the Ancient Saint's law left behind by their family's strongest member.

It's over. We came out and didn't gain much, and now we might die here.

They despaired, watching as the hole in the ceiling, pierced by an arm, was torn open by two hands. The top was completely dark as Xu Changqing jumped directly into the warship.

Buzzzz!

A pungent smell of blood filled the space. It had truly become a vision of a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, engulfing the three women.

"Is this... hell?" a delicate, petite loli couldn't help but ask, her voice trembling.

They had never seen such a scene. The bright, mechanical control room was gone, replaced by a chaotic battlefield.

The sky and earth were collapsing, powerful figures lay in pools of blood, mountains cracked and bled, the ground caved in, lava and blood mixed and erupted, and countless red pillars shot into the sky, extremely terrifying.

Countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with various severed limbs floating in the bloody sea, white bone mountains, and great peaks formed from piled corpses, a scarlet moon hung high in the sky.

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

"Our strength has been limited to Severing the Dao, and we can't even activate our magical artifacts. It's like they're afraid..." a black-haired woman couldn't help but chatter, her teeth rattling. What kind of strange method was this?

The pink-haired woman had a first-love face, with charming large eyes, a delicate and rosy nose, a proud figure, and exquisite legs.

Summoning her courage, she looked up at the sky and met Xu Changqing's gaze.

His eyes were extremely cold, devoid of any emotion, just quietly looking at them without saying much.

"Who are you?" the three women couldn't help but ask.

Although there were many such peerless experts in the Starry Sky, it was rare for someone at the Half-Saint level to shatter a spaceship refined by an Ancient Saint. Even a legendary Emperor's Son shouldn't be able to do it.

Xu Changqing didn't reveal his name, because the dead wouldn't remember it. He asked, "Hand over the coordinates of the Human Race Ancient Trial Path, or the coordinates of your star domain."

His normally sexy, magnetic voice sounded incredibly beautiful in their ears, yet they felt an extreme chill.

"We don't have the coordinates for the Human Race Ancient Trial Path?" the pink-haired woman murmured, glancing at Xu Changqing. Those who could tread the Human Race Ancient Path were all powerhouses in their own right.

Furthermore, this person had crossed the Starry Sky alone with the cultivation of a Half-Saint. He must be from a major star domain's younger generation.

"We don't have the coordinates for the Human Race Ancient Trial Path," the pink-haired woman said.

A delicate, petite loli, with teary eyes and trembling white legs, whispered cautiously, "I don't know the coordinates of our star domain either, but we can take you there."

"As long as you don't kill us, we'll do anything you say."

They were scared, utterly terrified. From the moment Xu Changqing unleashed his power, they had lost all will to resist.

The strongest in their family was only a Saint. How could they compare to this ferocious individual?

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

They also had some ancient, powerful magical artifacts, but how could someone as powerful as this white-haired youth not have them?

Therefore, it was better not to resist. If 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, and then when your elders see your situation, a group of you will come and attack me?"

"Or, you've felt despair, knowing you can't survive, and you want to take me to a desperate end together?"

Although this loli was beautiful and cute, Xu Changqing wouldn't go easy on her.

"If you kill us, you still won't find the Life Planet domain. As far as I know, in this place, without precise coordinates, even a Saint King couldn't get out," the pink-haired woman boldly stated.

"Moreover, our Sea of Consciousness and Primordial Spirits are under a forbidden curse. If anyone tries to explore, they will immediately self-immolate. Even a Great Sage couldn't stop it."

"If you kill us and wander the Starry Sky alone, it will take at least several hundred years to find a Life Planet."

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

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

Above the three women's heads, white mist floated. His divine sense told him that they were afraid and dared not lie.

This made Xu Changqing somewhat speechless. He retracted some of his intense killing intent.

There was no other way; they weren't lying. If he killed them, he wouldn't be able to find the path to the Ancient Path, and he didn't even know what kind of place this was.

"Which star domain are you from?"

There were too many technological star domains in the Universe. Xu Changqing wasn't sure if it was the Eternal Star Domain.

"Also, who are the powerhouses in your family?"

He asked again, still wanting to confirm. If they lied, he would eliminate them without hesitation.

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

"Our family currently has only three Saints and five sets of Saint-level armor, all left by past family heads."

The three women answered truthfully, completely honest, not daring to lie at all.

Splash...

The surrounding blood water continued to flow. The pungent smell made the loli woman cough and vomit incessantly.

Xu Changqing quietly considered the pros and cons under the vast sky. The pros were that there were many good things in the Eternal Star Domain, and Ye Fan had also obtained many things there.

But it was still two hundred thousand years before Ye Fan's era. He didn't know if there would be any good things.

The downside is that the Ancient Path might be a bit more difficult, and there should be Great Sages stationed there as well.

But there's no need to fear, because Xu Changqing's strength is already close to becoming a Saint. If he's pursued or surrounded, he'll directly undergo tribulation and achieve Sainthood.

In this era, very few things can mask the perception of a Heavenly Tribulation.

Masking the perception of a Heavenly Tribulation only became a thing after Wushi created it himself.

"Since Wan Qing and Wushi both left legends there, I must also leave behind a legend." Xu Changqing suddenly thought of what Azure Emperor and Wushi the Great had done in the Eternal Star Domain.

After Wushi became a Saint, he entered the Starry Sky Ancient Path and arrived at the Eternal Star Domain. Because of his special physique, he was regarded as a treasure by that group of people, who wanted to keep him captive. However, they didn't expect him to leave such a deep impression, nearly sinking the Eternal Star Domain.

Azure Emperor was the same, with people coveting his blood, leaving a deep impression on the Eternal Star Domain.

Ye Fan was also like this.

Now, he himself was the same.

Xu Changqing found it somewhat speechless. The Eternal Star Domain was the most hated star domain in Ze Tian, incredibly greedy and never learning its lesson.

"Lead the way." He decided to go there and see. If someone truly coveted his physique, he wouldn't mind undergoing tribulation in front of some powerful figures and destroying the Eternal Kingdom.

As for the three women exposing his identity?

Impossible. Because once they arrived there, he would simply kill them.

Moreover, even if they were exposed, he wouldn't be afraid.

Xu Changqing retracted the Emperor's Fall phenomenon, and the dilapidated cockpit reappeared before his eyes.

"Yes." The pink-haired woman didn't dare to disobey. She walked to the blue screen and fumbled with the controls.

Then, the warship began to gradually recover. Fragments from the corner started to extend, and the uneven hull of the spaceship began to regain its fullness.

While this was happening, Xu Changqing used his divine sense to search the entire spaceship. He found some energy-containing crystals, some rare ores, and even some divine iron.

Without any hesitation, he confiscated everything, not leaving a single energy-containing stone behind.

Seeing this, the three women's faces showed pain. These were Star Cores they had collected after a long journey across the starry sky, and some were divine iron found on uninhabited planets.

Buzz!

The spaceship restarted, and a strange energy coursed through the dark universe. A black hole slowly appeared outside the window.

This was an ancient Star Gate. Within the circular portal, various streams of light rotated, a nexus where time and space converged, leading to an unknown place.

The spaceship, carrying Xu Changqing, plunged into it. After an unknown amount of time, the spaceship burst out of the Star Gate and entered the dark universe, which was desolate and cold everywhere.

In the universe, time flew by. Along the way, one magnificent star after another twinkled with dazzling light, the only illumination in the vast darkness.

Xu Changqing stood quietly in the highly technological cockpit, gazing at the starry sky outside a hundreds-of-meters-long window. A visible, colorful galaxy streaked past.

Soon, Xu Changqing saw the spaceship begin to slow down. Then, the aura of Life Planets began to spread.

It was a brilliant blue star domain, with flowing galaxies containing countless stars. Just approaching it, their vision was blocked by innumerable meteoroids.

At the very center of that star domain was an unimaginably huge star. Even from a great distance, one could feel its vast and boundless aura, as if an Ancient Great Emperor were standing with their back to them.

Around that massive Ancient Star were several smaller Life Planets.

It looks like we've arrived.

Xu Changqing thought inwardly, then coldly said, "Stop, open the hatch."

The three women were stunned, their minds blank. They didn't dare to think otherwise.

Following Xu Changqing's command, they stopped the spaceship. Finally, they saw Xu Changqing appear in the starry sky.

Seeing this, they were overjoyed and poured all their divine power and resources into the blue warship.

Boom!

The spaceship erupted with an extremely brilliant light, its tail light like someone ascending. In just an instant, it disappeared from there and reappeared above the great star.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing let out a cold laugh. A white Bone Saber appeared in his hand, and a strange aura emanated from him.

"Hmm? Why is there a Heavenly Tribulation aura spreading in the Outer Domain?" Some powerful figures clearly sensed a Heavenly Tribulation aura approaching.

Before they could react, they saw a world-shattering saber light slash across the universe of the Eternal Star Domain, followed by a series of explosions.

Xu Changqing unleashed the Heaven's Will Saber Art. No matter how one dodged, they couldn't escape it. Even the possessor of the "Xing Zi Mi" couldn't evade a strike from Heaven's Will.

The white saber light, like a silken ribbon, pierced through countless stars, slicing meteoroids and stars in its path in half with incredibly smooth wounds. The sun in the sky of the Eternal Star Domain also exploded in an instant.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, before the three women could even celebrate for long, they were decapitated along with their ship.

Boom!

A bone-white flame erupted from the blue spaceship. The Saint-level spaceship quickly turned into red liquid.

The three women also turned into ashes mixed with molten iron, dripping into the Eternal Star Domain.

"I won't show mercy and let you return. It would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain. Even if you pose no threat, you are troublesome," Xu Changqing muttered coldly to himself.

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

Solving the trouble meant solving the people who created it.
