Ten Thousand Ghosts Travel

Xu Changqing stepped onto the silver metal corridor, adjusted his breathing, and took an internal look at his Sea of Suffering.

Seeing the red, net-like barrier blocking the corridor outside, he walked out without any expression.

The Star Sea was silent at the moment, everyone was in contemplation. But at a glance, it was all a silver metal forest, making one's back chill just by looking at it.

Giant cannon muzzles were aimed at the corridor, densely packed. There were spaceships in the sky and on the ground, as well as various mechas and high-tech weapons.

The originally bright night sky, filled with countless stars, the Milky Way crossing the sky like an aurora, was now filled with various massive space battleships, densely covered with runes.

Gan Long stood with his hands behind his back on the purple Star Sea, the cold wind whipping his black hair and fluttering his robes. He also wanted to see if Xu Changqing could really escape.

However, in his impression, Xu Changqing seemed to possess items from a Great Sage and artifacts from a Quasi-Emperor. If that were true, he would have to prepare to run.

Once that man went on a killing spree, ghosts would be afraid, and demons would have to call him big brother.

Even passing dogs would get stabbed, and the grass by the roadside would be trampled to death.

"Warning, an irresistible energy is approaching!"

At this moment, warnings sounded in unison from the densely packed fleet of warships, and red lights flashed incessantly.

"Boom!"

The next moment, thunder rumbled through the sky as expected, but no one thought much of it.

They mistakenly believed it was a celestial phenomenon formed by the convergence of numerous star-destroying weapons and powerful beings.

The giant pillars standing on the Star Sea began to tremble and emit light. A path reaching the heavens appeared at the top, and a figure slowly emerged from the silver corridor.

Buzz!

The next moment, an extremely brilliant light erupted from the corridor. Those present caught a glimpse of the figure breaking through some kind of shackles and rapidly approaching them!

"Crack..."

The next moment, dense cannon muzzles were aimed at Xu Changqing. The metallic sheen of various colors cast a chill over the world, striking fear into the hearts of many from the younger generation.

Although these were Half-Saint or Dao-Severing warships, their sheer numbers were terrifying.

Not to mention the Saint-grade battleships and mechas within them, which belonged to the most powerful families of the Eternal Kingdom.

Buzz!

A white ripple emanated outwards. It looked fragile, but it caused the entire space to tremble. The Star Sea churned with waves tens of thousands of meters high, and the sky rained stars, burning with brilliant flames as they fell into the Star Sea.

The eyes of the powerful experts from various factions blurred. Suddenly, they discovered a white-haired man standing before the giant pillars.

Xu Changqing's white hair fluttered, his face calm, hands behind his back. His eyes were as deep and silent as a secluded spring under the moon. He had suppressed his Saint cultivation, so the Heavenly Tribulation had not yet found him.

However, the moment he made a move, the Saint Heavenly Tribulation would arrive directly.

He simply stood in mid-air, not speaking, just looking at the oppressive fleet of warships opposite him.

However, some noticed a red flag fluttering in the wind behind him.

Gan Long's pupils contracted when he saw the flag. He was stunned, swallowed, quickly grabbed Lin Qianyu, who was standing by blankly, and began to retreat.

Seeing Xu Changqing's supreme demeanor, Lin Qianyu couldn't help but recall his dashing appearance as he had sliced her into pieces with a single strike. For a moment, she was lost in a daze.

However, she felt her jade hand being held and immediately came to her senses. Frowning, she turned her head, broke free from Gan Long's grasp, and said displeasantly, "What are you doing?"

"Let's run, quickly! If we don't run now, we'll all die!" Gan Long was anxious and didn't know how to explain.

"Why?" Lin Qianyu's delicate face showed a look of disdain. No matter how strong Xu Changqing was alone, could he fight against the entire Eternal Star Domain?

"Did you see the flag behind him?" Gan Long's face was pale as he pointed to the flag behind Xu Changqing.

Lin Qianyu looked closely and found nothing special about it, just a dark red formation flag with dense patterns and shadows.

"My Holy Land has records that a peerless Great Demon once held a dark red banner and slaughtered the inhabitants of dozens of star domains. The number of beings killed by his hand is unknown. Countless resentments condensed, and that person eventually provoked a Quasi-Emperor on the Emperor's Path and was killed."

"But his cultivation was that of a Great Sage."

"Now, the Great Demon's artifact has appeared in his hands. Do you think your broken tin cans can compare to a Great Sage's artifact?"

Gan Long was a little anxious. He didn't know why Xu Changqing possessed such an extremely evil artifact, nor had he ever seen him bring it out before.

"Ruthless, join my family, and I can help you reach the realm of a God, becoming the third God in the Eternal Star Domain."

"Join our faction. Your physique is very special, likely appearing for the first time. My daughter, Fan Zhantian, is also a peerless Heavenly Pride. If you have offspring with her, a legendary figure will surely appear again!"

"Join us!"

Various factions began to speak. Some elders in armor approached Xu Changqing and spoke politely.

However, many were also speechless. So many people holding guns and cannons, piloting Saint mechas, and various spaceships, all aimed at Xu Changqing, yet they were speaking to him politely.

"My family has a Great Sage. As long as you join our family and swear eternal loyalty to us, no one will be able to take you away. I mean it!" A middle-aged man in plain clothes, exuding the aura of a Saint, stood confidently before Xu Changqing and said so.

The densely packed silver warships aimed at Xu Changqing, the extreme pressure making him feel a sense of impending death.

In the shadows, there were not only Saints but also Saint Kings, and even Great Sages!

This was because he was the first person in the Eternal Star Domain to stand on Emperor Daoyan's name.

Moreover, according to those who had left their names, after being listed, they would enter a place and battle the imprinted names on the giant pillars.

If they won, they would obtain everything that person possessed.

Xu Changqing didn't know if he had won, but since he came out, it meant he had taken something from Emperor Daoyan, more or less.

They were extremely envious.

Not to mention Xu Changqing's special physique. Numerous forces had joined forces to observe it, but none could discern its nature.

This made them even more eager.

Xu Changqing looked at everyone with a blank expression, remaining silent as he pondered, occasionally glancing at certain hidden spots.

The crowd didn't rush him, mistaking his silence for contemplation.

However, a long time passed without Xu Changqing speaking, and many grew impatient.

"Damn it, who is he putting on that sour face for all day? Do we owe you Immortal Gold?!" someone with a short temper finally couldn't help but curse.

"I think you brat are asking for it, begging to be beaten!" a rough voice boomed from a blue spaceship.

The crowd's hearts stirred. They saw a skull emblem on the blue spaceship, identifying it as belonging to the Starry Sky Pirates, notorious for their plundering and fearlessness towards major families.

"I can't wait any longer. Seize him and study him at our leisure."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of warships emitted a hazy glow. An extremely powerful suction force enveloped the area, but it was directed solely at Xu Changqing.

Furthermore, dense silver threads appeared in the sky, weaving into a net that descended upon Xu Changqing.

No one intervened; they all watched the unfolding spectacle.

They knew that even if Xu Changqing was captured, a major battle would inevitably ensue.

"Hoo~"

Suddenly, everyone smelled a coppery scent. Someone saw Xu Changqing grasp the flagpole behind him and begin to wave a dark red flag in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Gan Long's scalp tingled, and his hair stood on end. Without a second thought, he grabbed Lin Qianyu and fled.

"Damn it, only a fool would stay here with you," Gan Long cursed inwardly, decisively pulling Lin Qianyu away.

Lin Qianyu's gaze remained fixed on Xu Changqing, her eyes filled with a spring-like tenderness. She murmured, "As expected of the man who tore me into eight pieces. Facing so many powerful enemies, he remains calm. The way he wields the formation flag is so dashing."

Seeing this, Gan Long was so angry he wanted to abandon the foolish woman. What time was it?

Did this woman have masochistic tendencies?

"Boom!"

Indeed, just as Gan Long pulled Lin Qianyu away from the Star Sea, a massive sound erupted. A series of explosions and flames burst forth, accompanied by thick smoke and shockwaves.

The battle had begun.

"Wuwuwu~ I died so tragically~"

"Save me, save me~"

"Mmm... it hurts, ah, it hurts~"

"It hurts!!!"

In an instant, it was as if something had awakened throughout the Eternal Star Domain. All living beings heard cries and wails in their ears, sending shivers down their spines.

The sharp, tragic sounds relentlessly invaded the minds of countless beings, filling them with fear and causing them to break out in cold sweats.

They didn't know what was happening. The previously clear sky had turned to night, and the empty streets were now filled with a dense throng of pedestrians.

Some curious individuals peered out their windows, only to see dismembered, blood-soaked fierce ghosts walking the streets and lingering outside their doors.

Gan Long's face turned ashen. The commotion was too immense; it had even affected the Eternal Kingdom.

"Hehehe, come keep me company~"

"Come down and keep me company..."

These vengeful spirits, upon spotting the younger generation of certain families, would gravitate towards them, following closely behind. Some fierce ghosts even clung to the backs of children.

These vengeful spirits lacked intelligence; they were merely following a directive not to harm unrelated individuals, targeting only the forces and families engaged in the battle.

Gan Long moved rapidly through the air, observing streets in various countries swarming with ghostly figures, and fierce ghosts crawling rapidly within towering buildings.

The entire world had descended into chaos in an instant.
