Gone Mad

Within the sea of stars, light blazed intensely, obscuring everything. From the moment Xu Changqing made his move, everyone knew he wouldn't compromise.

Since that was the case, they could only accept the challenge.

They couldn't allow a powerful enemy to grow, nor did they want to miss out on the special physique and the items left behind by a Great Emperor.

After all, who wouldn't be tempted by items left by a Great Emperor?

However, they hadn't expected that Xu Changqing could cause their starships to malfunction simply by shaking a dark red flag. Their vision was completely obscured by dense, swarming Fierce Ghosts.

"Beat him half to death, don't kill him."

Before the words were even finished, Xu Changqing suddenly erupted with an extremely brilliant light. A streak of silver saber light cut through the dark red night sky, unleashing his Divine Prohibition strength.

He hadn't yet unsealed his Saint cultivation because he felt it wouldn't be worth it to undergo tribulation now. It would be much more effective to wait until after he used that one move before undergoing tribulation.

"Boom boom boom!"

The saber light directly tore through the dense, vast ocean of steel ahead. A series of explosions erupted, countless fires shot into the sky, and all Mechas below Saint-grade were reduced to scrap metal.

Countless beings who had come to watch were also annihilated by this saber light. In an instant, rivers of blood flowed.

Various pieces of scrap metal and steel collided, blood splattered, and countless heads and limbs flew through the air.

With just one strike, such a tragic scene was created, something no one had anticipated.

They had thought that just a few Saint-grade battleships would be enough to capture Xu Changqing effortlessly, but now it seemed they were wrong.

It wasn't over yet. The crowd watched as Xu Changqing, holding the dark red flag, inserted it directly into the center of the steel forest, finally unleashing a scene of ten thousand ghosts emerging.

This was a Great Sage-level artifact. Even if he couldn't fully activate it, it was still terrifyingly powerful.

"Insolent!" A voice of immense authority shook the sea of stars. A purple steel giant descended from the sky, wielding a holy blue greatsword that emanated mysterious substances.

Its mere presence was enough to instill fear.

"A Saint has descended in a Mecha!" someone from the Younger Generation exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Changqing remained incredibly calm, standing mid-air as the wind blew through his white hair. Various Immortal Lights continuously surged upwards, a vast expanse of white.

This was the fusion of technology and Dao marks, locking onto Xu Changqing's genes. He couldn't dodge, so he could only face it head-on.

However, he directly used his drawing-blade technique, annihilating countless Mechas and starships, and burying at least tens of thousands of people.

The beings who had come here numbered at least a million, densely packed, with no end in sight.

Xu Changqing's white hair fluttered, his expression calm. He held a milky white Bone Saber, quietly gazing at the purple Mecha before him.

"We kindly invited you to marry my precious daughter, and you still refuse. Don't you know how many people want to have my daughter? Yet you disagree?"

"She is also a peerless Heavenly Pride with a special physique, not much weaker than you. Why do you disagree?"

A gloomy voice emanated from within the purple Mecha.

Xu Changqing didn't listen to much of the words. He simply leaned forward and charged, his Bone Saber slicing through the night sky, unleashing another blazing saber aura.

"Ancient cultivators are indeed ancient cultivators, using their weak physiques to resist technology. How laughable!" The Mecha let out a cold, disdainful laugh. The purple giant raised its blue greatsword, which emanated waves of potent substance.

"Ching!"

The sword light was vast and boundless, covering the sky. It directly blocked Xu Changqing's strike, and from the chest of the purple battle armor, countless cannons emerged.

Buzz!

Terrifying beams of light erupted from the chest of the purple battle armor. This was a product of the combination of runes and technology, capable of identifying opponents based on genetic imprints, thus preventing friendly fire.

As the purple battle armor made its move, all the beings present, along with various battleships, also launched their attacks.

Items of a Great Emperor, who wouldn't covet them?

What if they were the ones to obtain it?

It was this thought that made many unwilling to leave. What if they had great fortune and managed to snag something?

Various Immortal Lights intertwined, their attacks world-shaking. At this moment, the light illuminated the pitch-black sea of stars, a vast expanse of white.

"Boom boom boom!"

In an instant, light erupted like a sun exploding, and various terrifying cosmic rays continuously swept over Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing wrapped himself in the Great Sage battle flag, directly blocking this terrifying assault.

He held his Bone Saber and plunged directly into the dense metal jungle, wielding his butcher's knife.

Every swing of his saber resulted in a series of explosions, with burning pieces of scrap metal flying through the air, engulfing the magnificent river of stars.

Xu Changqing closed his eyes, ignoring all attacks, as he was temporarily protected by the Great Sage's flag. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of a Saint's attack.

However, the sheer vibration alone made his qi and blood surge backward, and a hint of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The attacks were too dense. If he hadn't been protected by the Great Sage's battle flag, he might have been injured in an instant, or even pierced through the chest by those terrifying beams of light.

"Reincarnation Saber Technique!"

Xu Changqing muttered to himself. This move was originally intended for that woman, but there was no other way, as there were too many people present.

He held his Bone Saber and drew a peculiar arc in the air. Where he drew, black runes and dark light appeared, lingering for a long time.

Holding the saber in his right hand and steadying the blade with his left, dense, strange patterns began to appear on his fingers. In his brow, runes and ancient characters like a small stream also appeared.

Currently, the Reincarnation Saber Technique has seven forms.

"Boom!"

Various technological lights and runes intertwined with Dao fused together, all attacking him. They directly blasted Xu Changqing out of the Eternal Star Domain, smashing him into the surface, piercing through the Eternal Star Domain and arriving outside the starry sky.

"First form, Memory!"

Xu Changqing unleashed the first form of the Reincarnation Saber Technique. It's called the Reincarnation Saber Technique, or the Mind Saber Technique, because Xu Changqing unleashes it based on the enemy's emotions.

Once he uses this move, it's impossible to defend against. It directly plunges enemies into their most beautiful or most unwilling memories. Moreover, there's a few seconds of blank period during which they forget what they were just doing.

"Second form, Joy!"

Xu Changqing performed the second form again. He stood in the starry sky, looking expressionlessly at the countless battleships and armies below, as well as Saint-grade Mechas. He was clad in a red banner that protected his safety.

"Buzz!"

A total of two saber forms, two soft, transparent waves vibrated outwards, covering the entire area. As the gentle ripples washed over all living beings, everyone fell silent.

Even the Saints were no exception; they all quieted down.

However, the machines were still moving. After all, they weren't alive. They continued to attack.

But Xu Changqing's objective was already achieved. He looked up at the deep starry sky, the power within his body surged, and then he unhesitatingly triggered the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Boom!"

With a massive thunderclap, countless beings in the Eternal Kingdom looked up at the sky. A sense of despair spread.

In countless giant cities, pillars of light began to erupt. These pillars contained some kind of mysterious substance combined with various Saintly Dao laws, attempting to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

Those who were encircling and suppressing Xu Changqing in the starry sky had not yet woken up. They had forgotten about the great battle and were facing things they didn't want to face, or perhaps facing things they had fantasized about for a long, long time, completely lost in them.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the vast aura of the Heavenly Tribulation startled everyone. But before they could recover, they were engulfed in blinding white light, accompanied by various intense pains.

Xu Changqing watched as vast seas of lightning descended, dense and numerous, directly covering all his enemies. At least millions of beings were immediately subjected to the tribulation.

"Ah!!"

In an instant, there were countless casualties. Blood flowed like a river, and countless severed limbs flew out. Horrifying wails rose and fell.

He didn't put away the formation banner. Instead, he tightly gripped the banner and looked at the massive Eternal Star Domain below. He raised the banner in his hand and hurled it fiercely toward a certain spot.

"Dong!"

A powerful sonic boom pierced the atmosphere of the Eternal Star Domain. A streak of red light streaked across the sky. All beings in the Eternal Star Domain saw it. The red light was aimed at a huge family city.

"No!"

A Saint let out a heart-wrenching cry upon seeing this, trying to intercept it.

But Xu Changqing's current strength far surpassed that of ordinary Saints. Naturally, he couldn't stop it.

"Boom!"

The next moment, that Saint saw an earth-shattering red light erupt from a certain place in the Eternal Star Domain.

He opened his mouth wide, stunned, his expression one of disbelief. He stood frozen in mid-air, his hands raised as if trying to grasp something, unable to lower them for a long time.

His eyes were vacant, and he fell in the starry sky, tears streaming from his eyes.

"My home... is gone..."

"My newborn child, my second wife was just pregnant..."

"Gone, all gone, all dead..."

The Saint's eyes instantly lost their luster. When Xu Changqing had aimed at that spot, he had already known that it was his family's location.

He was the strongest in the family, and he had brought out the only Saint-grade Mecha. Therefore, there was nothing in the family that could block Xu Changqing's attack.

"Why, why did you do this?!"

"That's thirteen thousand lives! You destroyed them in an instant!" The Saint, driven mad, rushed in front of Xu Changqing, his eyes bloodshot, and asked angrily.

"There were newborn children, pregnant women! How could you do this?!"

Xu Changqing looked at the Saint before him expressionlessly, a cold smile playing on his lips. He said indifferently, "Oh? What does that have to do with me? Isn't my life a life?"

"Then you shouldn't harm others!" the Saint, a Great Sage, cursed.

Xu Changqing remained utterly calm, saying nothing. Only the coldness in his eyes was terrifying. He reached out and directly pressed down on the Saint's head, then squeezed.

Bang!

Red and white splattered everywhere, exploding like a watermelon.

As the Saint's aura dissipated, the Heavenly Tribulation instantly locked on, directly descending a Saint's tribulation, pulverizing the Saint's Primordial Spirit into dust.

"Ah!"

The giant in purple armor roared upon seeing this, carrying the immense Saint's tribulation and charging towards Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing was submerged by the sea of lightning, but he remained incredibly calm. The moment the purple-armored figure charged, he vanished from his spot.

Then, from amidst the dense battleships, he grabbed a few people.

There was a young man in blue robes and a woman with wine-red hair.

Their faces were deathly pale, and their eyes looked at Xu Changqing in terror as they stammered, "B-big brother, we were just... just... watching the show..."

Xu Changqing was too terrifying. After only a short battle, he had already annihilated countless people.

Now, he was dragging everyone present into the tribulation with him, and they had no intention of fighting him.

Xu Changqing ignored the two. Instead, he grabbed them and high-handedly walked above the dense sea of lightning.

"Father, save me!" the red-haired woman cried out to the purple mecha. She was completely powerless in Xu Changqing's grasp.

"Patriarch!" the man in blue clothes shouted, his face incredibly pale, looking in one direction.

"No!" a blue battleship let out a grand voice.

Then, with a loud BOOM, it shattered the void and arrived directly in front of Xu Changqing.

But Xu Changqing was faster. Under everyone's gaze, he directly grabbed both of them by their hair, lifted them up, and then crushed their skulls with a single squeeze.

Two golden Primordial Spirits tried to escape, but Xu Changqing's eyes were cold as he reached out and grabbed the fist-sized Primordial Spirits. He tossed them like trash into the Chaos Divine Thunder that was falling from above his head, and they instantly turned into light ions and vanished.

These two were famous Heavenly Prides of the younger generation in the Eternal Star Domain. They had just reached the Severing the Dao cultivation level and had the potential to become powerhouses like Lin Qianyu.

But in Xu Changqing's hands, they were like ants, crushed to death with a casual flick of his wrist.

"Xian... Xian'er..." the purple mecha's voice trembled. The entire mecha shook, changing from purple to red. It seemed to be in a rage, yet also in sorrow.

Before he could erupt, Xu Changqing moved again. He reached out and beckoned towards the Eternal Star Domain. The Demonic Banner soared into the sky once more, bringing with it vast waves of bloody stench and rivers of blood.

He then set his sights on another star domain next to the Eternal Star Domain. That place was called the Fan Family, and it was Xu Changqing's next target.

BOOM!

Xu Changqing was like a longbow drawn to its full extent. The flag on his hand was reversed, its sharp tip like a spear. With a BANG, he threw it with all his might.

This strike was terrifyingly powerful, containing the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation and activating the Demonic Banner.

BOOM!

Crimson light flared, accompanied by the aura of ghostly wails. In that instant, the planet was plunged into darkness, and a blood moon descended. Those who came to participate in the battle had their families known by Xu Changqing.

This was because their spaceships, or even their battleships, bore insignia.

There was also their aura. He swept his divine sense and immediately attacked anything with an aura similar to the battlefield, without any hesitation.

If they attacked him, they would pay the price.

Gan Long and Lin Qianyu saw this scene, their faces turning incredibly pale. They swallowed and whispered, "See, I told you we should leave, or you'd be dead too."

"He's gone mad, he doesn't care about anything else anymore."

"This time, your Eternal Star Domain has suffered heavy losses."
