Killing Frenzy

Within the Star Sea, blazing light filled the void, obscuring everything from view. From the moment Xu Changqing made his move, everyone knew he would not compromise.

Since that was the case, they could only fight.

They could not allow a powerful enemy to grow, nor did they want to let go of the special physique or the items left behind by the Great Emperor.

Those were items left behind by the Great Emperor. Who would not be tempted?

But they had not expected that merely waving that dark red banner would cause their spacecraft to malfunction, while their vision was completely blocked by densely packed vicious ghosts.

"Beat him until he's half-dead. Don't kill him."

Before the words had even faded, Xu Changqing suddenly erupted with incomparably brilliant light. A streak of silver saber radiance tore through the dark red night sky as the power of Divine Prohibition burst forth.

He had yet to unseal his Saint cultivation because he felt that undergoing tribulation now would not be worthwhile. It would be far more effective to do so after he unleashed that move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The saber radiance tore through the dense ocean of steel ahead. A chain of explosions rang out, countless flames soared into the sky, and every Mecha below the Saint grade was reduced to scrap metal.

Countless beings who had come merely to watch were also annihilated by that saber radiance. In an instant, blood flowed like a river.

Chunks of iron and metal collided and tangled together, blood sprayed through the air, and countless heads and limbs flew away.

Just one strike had created such a miserable scene. No one had expected it.

They had thought that with several Saint-grade Battleships, they could capture Xu Changqing without effort. Now, it seemed they had been wrong.

It was not over yet. Everyone saw Xu Changqing grasp the dark red banner and plunge it directly into the center of the steel forest, unleashing a scene of ten thousand ghosts marching forth.

This was a Great Sage-grade artifact. Even if he could not fully activate it, it was still terrifying beyond measure.

"Insolence!" A supremely imposing voice instantly shook the Star Sea. A purple giant of steel descended from the heavens, wielding a sacred blue greatsword that emitted mysterious matter.

Its mere presence was enough to make people shudder.

"A Saint has arrived in a Mecha!" someone from the younger generation cried out in delight.

Xu Changqing remained utterly calm, standing in midair as the gale swept through his white hair. Various Immortal Lights surged continuously, turning everything into a vast expanse of white.

It was a fusion of technology and Dao marks, locking onto Xu Changqing's genes. There was no escaping it; he could only withstand it head-on.

However, he directly used the Sword Drawing Technique, destroying countless Mechas and spacecraft and burying at least tens of thousands of people.

At least a million beings had come here, densely packed beyond sight.

Xu Changqing's white hair fluttered in the wind. His expression was calm as he held the milky-white Bone Saber and quietly looked at the purple Mecha before him.

"We kindly invited you to marry my precious daughter, yet you refused. Do you know how many people dream of having my daughter? And you actually turned her down?"

"She is also an unrivaled Heavenly Pride with a special physique. She is not much weaker than you. Why did you refuse?"

A gloomy voice came from within the purple Mecha.

Xu Changqing did not listen to much of it. He merely bent forward and charged ahead, the Bone Saber in his hand tearing through the night sky as he slashed out another blazing saber beam.

"Ancient cultivators are still ancient cultivators, using such weak physical bodies to contend against technology. How laughable!" A disdainful sneer came from within the Mecha. The purple giant raised its blue greatsword, releasing waves of dense matter.

Screech!

The sword radiance was vast and majestic, covering the heavens as it directly blocked Xu Changqing's slash. At the same time, densely packed cannon ports appeared across the purple armor's chest.

Buzz!

Terrifying beams erupted from the purple armor's chest. They were products of the fusion of runes and technology, capable of identifying opponents through genetic imprints and preventing accidental attacks on allies.

As the purple armor attacked, all the beings present and their various warships launched attacks as well.

Who would not covet an item of the Great Emperor?

What if they managed to obtain it?

That very thought kept many people from leaving. What if they possessed Great Fortune and managed to snatch an opportunity?

All kinds of Immortal Light intertwined, their attacks shaking the world. At this moment, the light illuminated the pitch-black Star Sea, turning it into a boundless white expanse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, light erupted as though the sun had exploded. All kinds of terrifying cosmic rays continuously blanketed Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing wrapped himself in the Great Sage battle banner and directly blocked the terrifying assault.

Holding the Bone Saber, he charged straight into the dense metal forest, swinging the butcher's blade in his hand.

Every swing of his saber triggered a string of explosions. Burning chunks of metal flew into the air, drowning out the resplendent river of stars.

Xu Changqing closed his eyes and ignored every attack. With the Great Sage banner protecting him for the moment, he naturally did not fear a Saint's attacks.

Yet the vibrations alone made his blood surge backward, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The attacks were too dense. If he had not been protected by the Great Sage battle banner, he might have been injured in a single exchange—or even had his chest pierced by those terrifying beams.

"Reincarnation Saber Technique!"

Xu Changqing murmured inwardly. This move had originally been intended for that woman, but he had no choice. There were simply too many people here.

He held the Bone Saber and drew a strange arc through the air. Black runes and dark glimmers appeared everywhere the blade passed, and the radiance lingered for a long time.

His right hand held the saber while his left steadied its blade. Dense, strange patterns began to appear across his ten fingers, while runes and ancient characters like small streams emerged from his brow.

At present, the Reincarnation Saber Technique had seven forms in total.

Boom!

The fusion of Dao formed from countless technological lights and runes all attacked him, blasting Xu Changqing out of the Eternal Star Domain and into the ground. He pierced through the Eternal Star Domain and arrived outside in the Starry Sky.

"First Form, Remembrance!"

Xu Changqing unleashed the first form of the Reincarnation Saber Technique. Though it was called the Reincarnation Saber Technique, it could also be called a mind saber technique, because Xu Changqing activated it according to his enemies' emotions.

Once he used this move, it was impossible to guard against. It would directly pull enemies into their happiest memories or the memories they least wished to face. For several seconds afterward, there would be a blank period in which they forgot what they had just been doing.

"Second Form, Joy!"

Xu Changqing unleashed the second form once more. He stood in the Starry Sky, expressionless as he looked down at the countless warships, armies, and even Saint's Mechas below. Draped in the red banner, he was protected from harm.

Buzz!

Two saber forms in total unleashed two gentle, transparent ripples that spread across the entire battlefield. Once those soft ripples washed over every being, everyone fell still.

Even the Saints were no exception. All of them became silent.

However, the machines continued to operate. After all, they were not living beings, and they continued launching attacks without pause.

But Xu Changqing had already achieved his goal. He raised his head to look at the deep Starry Sky, and the power within him suddenly surged. Then, without hesitation, he invoked the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

With a massive thunderclap, countless beings throughout the Eternal Kingdom raised their heads toward the sky. An aura of despair spread through the world.

Within countless giant cities, pillars of light began shooting into the sky. They contained mysterious matter fused with various Saint Dao Laws, seeking to use them to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

The people who had surrounded Xu Changqing in the Starry Sky had yet to awaken. They had forgotten the battle and were facing things they did not wish to confront—or things they had fantasized about for a very long time—lost in them and unable to break free.

Boom!

The next moment, the vast aura of the Heavenly Tribulation awakened everyone. But before they could recover their senses, blinding white light engulfed them, accompanied by intense pain.

Xu Changqing watched as a vast Sea of Lightning descended, densely packed and directly covering every enemy. At least several million beings were dragged into tribulation at once.

"Ahhh!!"

In a single instant, countless people died or were wounded. Blood flowed into rivers, severed limbs flew everywhere, and waves of horrifying screams rose and fell.

He did not put away the formation banner. Instead, he gripped the banner tightly and looked down at the enormous Eternal Star Domain. Raising the banner in his hand, he hurled it fiercely toward a certain place.

Boom!

A sharp sound tore through the atmosphere of the Eternal Star Domain. A streak of red light cut across the sky, and every being in the Eternal Star Domain saw it targeting a massive family city.

"Don't!"

A Saint who witnessed the scene screamed himself hoarse, trying to block it.

But Xu Changqing's current strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Saint. Naturally, he could not stop him.

Boom!

The next moment, that Saint saw shocking red light erupt from a certain place within the Eternal Star Domain.

His mouth hung open in stunned disbelief. He stood frozen in midair, his hands raised as if trying to grasp something, unable to lower them for a long time.

His eyes were empty as he collapsed into the Starry Sky, tears flowing from them.

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

"My newborn child... my second wife had only just become pregnant..."

"Gone. It's all gone. They're all dead..."

The light vanished from that Saint's eyes in an instant. The moment Xu Changqing had aimed at that place, he had already known it was his family.

He was the only strongest member of his family, and he had brought out the only Saint's Mecha as well. Therefore, there had been nothing in the family capable of stopping Xu Changqing's attack.

"Why? Why did you do this?!"

"That was a full one hundred and thirty thousand lives! You destroyed them in an instant!" The Saint rushed before Xu Changqing like a madman, his eyes bloodshot as he angrily questioned him.

"There were newborn children in there, pregnant women still carrying their babies! How could you do it?!"

Xu Changqing expressionlessly looked at the Saint before him. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said coldly, "Oh? What does that have to do with me? Is my life not a life?"

"Even so, you cannot drag innocent people into this!" the Saint cursed furiously.

Xu Changqing remained calm and said nothing. Only the chill in his eyes was horrifying. He stretched out a hand, pressed it directly onto the Saint's head, and squeezed.

Bang!

Red and white matter splattered everywhere. It burst like a watermelon.

As that Saint's aura leaked out, the Heavenly Tribulation instantly locked onto him. A Saint's great tribulation descended and directly reduced his Nascent Soul to ashes.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, the giant in the purple armor roared furiously and charged toward Xu Changqing while enduring the overwhelming Saint Tribulation.

Xu Changqing was swallowed by the Sea of Lightning, yet he remained incomparably calm. At the moment the purple armor charged at him, he vanished from where he stood.

Then, from among the dense ranks of warships, he grabbed several people.

They were a young man in blue robes and a woman with wine-red hair.

Their faces were pale, and they looked at Xu Changqing in terror as they stammered, "B-Big Brother, we... we only... only came to watch..."

Xu Changqing was too terrifying. Not long after the battle had begun, he had already annihilated countless people.

Now, he had even dragged everyone present into tribulation. No one had any mind left to fight him.

Xu Changqing ignored the two of them. He directly grabbed them and walked openly above the dense Sea of Lightning.

"Father, save me!" the red-haired woman cried desperately toward the purple Mecha. In Xu Changqing's grasp, she had no ability to resist whatsoever.

"Patriarch!" The man in blue turned deathly pale and shouted toward a certain direction.

"Don't!" A majestic voice came from a blue warship.

Then, with a deafening boom, it actually shattered through space and arrived directly before Xu Changqing.

But Xu Changqing reacted faster. Before everyone's eyes, he grabbed the two by their hair and lifted them up before crushing both their heads in one grip.

Their two golden Nascent Souls tried to escape, but Xu Changqing coldly stretched out his hand and seized the two fist-sized Nascent Souls. Like throwing away trash, he tossed them into the Chaos Divine Thunder descending above his head, where they immediately turned into light particles and vanished.

These two were also renowned new-generation Heavenly Prides within the Eternal Star Domain. They had just reached the Severing Dao realm and possessed the potential to become experts on Lin Qianyu's level.

Yet in Xu Changqing's hands, they were like ants, casually crushed to death.

"Xian... Xian'er..." The purple Mecha emitted a trembling voice. Its entire body shook continuously, turning from purple to red as though it was raging, yet grieving as well.

Before it could erupt, Xu Changqing moved again. He extended a hand toward the Eternal Star Domain, and the Demonic Banner soared into the sky once more, carrying with it a vast bloody aura and a river of blood.

He targeted another star domain beside the Eternal Star Domain. That place was called the Fan Family, and it was Xu Changqing's target.

Boom!

Xu Changqing was like a fully drawn bow. He held the banner upside down, its sharp base like a long spear, and with a bang, hurled it out with all his strength.

This strike was terrifying beyond measure. It contained the lightning radiance of the Heavenly Tribulation and had activated the Demonic Banner.

Boom!

Crimson light erupted again, accompanied by the aura of wailing ghosts and howling spirits. In that instant, the sun and moon went dark upon that planet, and a blood moon descended. Xu Changqing had learned the families of those who came to battle him.

Because their spacecraft and warships all bore identifying emblems.

There was also their aura. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, the moment he sensed an aura similar to those on the battlefield, he attacked without hesitation.

If they had attacked him, then they would pay the price.

Gan Long and Lin Qianyu watched this scene, their faces turning pale. They swallowed and said softly, "See? I told you to leave. Otherwise, you would have died too."

"He has gone completely mad. He can no longer care about anything else."

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