Blood Washing the Eternal Star Domain

"He's going in, no! Stop him! If we let him get in, our Eternal Star Domain might shatter!" the hidden powerhouses immediately lost their composure.

An old man, directly piloting Saint King-level Battle Armor, charged into the Heavenly Tribulation. Without a word, he attacked.

"Boom!"

The battle armor raised its hand, and a divine light that pierced the heavens erupted. It was incredibly brilliant, tearing through the Sea of Lightning and striking Xu Changqing.

Bang!

Although Xu Changqing was protected by the Great Sage's Demonic Banner, he was not a Great Sage himself. It could only block most of the attack. His arm was reduced to a mist of blood by the divine light.

However, he remained expressionless, not even glancing back. Following the shockwave of the explosion, he plunged directly into a city within the Eternal Star Domain.

"Ah!"

The next moment, an aged scream echoed through the starry sky. A Heavenly Tribulation even more terrifying than Xu Changqing's descended, and the entire Eternal Star Domain trembled as if unable to withstand such divine might.

"Boom!"

An unimaginably massive crimson lightning bolt struck from the heavens, directly shattering the golden Saint King Mecha.

Just a single strike from the Heavenly Tribulation had already caused such a terrifying scene.

The terrifying current directly invaded the mecha's interior through the battle armor, electrocuting the Saint King powerhouse until smoke billowed from him.

Those who wanted to intercept Xu Changqing from the shadows were even more terrified and didn't dare to show their faces.

If they were in their prime, they would still dare to charge through the Heavenly Tribulation to kill Xu Changqing.

But now, they were old, and Xu Changqing had the Demonic Banner's protection, making an instant kill impossible.

"Where did Great Sage Gan Long go?"

"Why doesn't he dare to come out and stop that Outer Domain Demonic Tribulation?!"

"Damn it, do you dare to go? Do you know how terrifying a Great Sage's Heavenly Tribulation is? It's more likely that if he makes a move, not only will he fail to kill the Outer Domain Demonic Tribulation, but he'll also destroy the Eternal Star Domain."

In the shadows, the aged powerhouses argued. They had never witnessed a Great Sage's Heavenly Tribulation.

But even for a Saint King's Heavenly Tribulation, they had to travel to the depths of space to endure it, and they almost didn't survive. How could they handle a Great Sage's Heavenly Tribulation?

Could a Great Sage with depleted Blood Essence withstand a tribulation that even a peak-condition cultivator almost couldn't survive?

"Then what should we do?"

"You're asking me? How would I know?"

"Damn it, if the Divine Immortal Robe hadn't gone missing, how could we let that demon run rampant?"

Those Saint Kings in the shadows were furious but helpless. If their Blood Essence were abundant, perhaps they would dare to fight back.

"Boom!"

A large expanse of the Sea of Lightning descended again. The Heavenly Tribulation's power was even more terrifying and forceful than Xu Changqing's, driving the Saint King powerhouse to despair.

The mecha issued warnings, and countless lightning snakes wrapped around the golden battle armor, emitting a piercing sound.

The old man gritted his teeth, ignored the Heavenly Tribulation, and directly flew towards the Eternal Star Domain. His speed was so fast that everyone couldn't see clearly. In an instant, he entered the Eternal Star Domain and appeared before Xu Changqing.

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, he stomped down on Xu Changqing's chest. The Saint King's Heavenly Tribulation also descended from above, engulfing them both.

Bang!

Xu Changqing was stomped on the chest, his body sinking directly into the ground and falling into the lava, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

"Ah!"

But the Saint King above was screaming in agony. Despite the mecha's protection, the Saint King's Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying.

Furthermore, because he had entered the Eternal Star Domain, the Heavenly Tribulation's range expanded again. A wisp of electrical light overflowed, destroying countless tall buildings. Various mountains and rivers instantly evaporated.

Lush, verdant forests were instantly reduced to scorched earth stretching for thousands of miles. The ground cracked, and countless lava flows erupted.

"Boom!"

Xu Changqing didn't want to waste any more time. He directly used the Great Sage's Soul Slaying Nail. The pressure of a Great Sage enveloped the entire area. The void shattered, the heavens and earth cracked, and ghosts wailed.

It was merely a wisp of a Great Sage's pressure, yet it caused an extremely terrifying scene.

Gan Long, who was hundreds of millions of miles away, felt a tightness in his chest and suffocation. It was too powerful, that aura was too terrifying.

Cities not far away began to crumble, earthquakes struck, and skyscrapers thousands of meters tall began to tilt precariously before collapsing with a roar. Various flying trains and hovercars in the sky instantly exploded.

For a time, the dim Eternal Star Domain was illuminated by firelight. Instruments in the sky turned into fireworks, exploding continuously.

Everyone despaired.

"Boom!"

The next moment, an even more terrifying Heavenly Tribulation appeared.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing threw the nail in his hand towards the Saint King powerhouse on the ground.

At that very instant, with a roar, the lightning of Great Sage divine might descended.

"Ah!"

The Soul Slaying Nail, carrying ten thousand feet of tearful light, covered the Saint King Battle Armor. The Saint King Battle Armor let out a mournful cry before completely vanishing.

The person hiding in the shadows gasped. Damn it, this kid isn't playing by the rules.

Xu Changqing showed a pained expression. He knew that nail wouldn't be coming back.

Because the nail contained countless evil energies and vengeful souls, the Heavenly Tribulation was extremely effective against such weapons. Therefore, that weapon was considered destroyed.

However, it wasn't a big problem. He still had five more. He originally had six, but now only five remained.

Xu Changqing flew up from the earth's core, bringing a large expanse of lava with him. He flew fiercely in one direction, constantly resisting the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation along the way.

He took down the Demonic Banner wrapped around him again and gripped the flagpole. Passing by familiar cities and aristocratic families, he stopped without hesitation, hovering in mid-air, looking down coldly.

In the city, countless people stood on the streets in silence, weeping softly. Some young girls hid in their mothers' arms. Those mothers shed tears, their mouths agape, wanting to beg for mercy for the white-haired man in the sky.

Xu Changqing saw all their expressions.

"My lord, I beg you, spare me. My child is only three years old..."

"Divine Being, my child is due in two days. Can you spare us?"

"Divine Being, my wife is still waiting for me at home. I'm not from here. Can you let me go!"

Countless mortals knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. They shed tears and kowtowed forcefully, their heads bloody. Even pregnant women did the same.

Xu Changqing remained expressionless, his white hair fluttering, his body covered in blood and wounds. He stood in mid-air, holding a milky white Bone Saber that was dripping blood.

He didn't speak. Instead, he locked onto those who had cultivation and wore the clothes of families or factions.

Showing no mercy, he directly brandished the battle banner in his hand.

"Wooooooo~"

Sounds of wailing ghosts emerged. Countless mortals sensed ghosts passing by them, but they didn't harm them, filling them with joy.

A pregnant woman wearing a tight blue battle suit, with a purple three-star emblem on her chest and exquisite ancient characters below it, was kneeling on the ground praying.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing's eyes immediately turned cold. He was very familiar with the emblem on her chest; it belonged to the family that owned the Saint-grade Spaceship.

"All families and factions that participated in the war, regardless of gender or age, kill!"

Xu Changqing gave the order. The ghosts and vengeful souls, laughing and crying, surged into the major cities like a tidal wave.

He wrapped himself with the Great Sage Demonic Banner, and he was extremely familiar with the aura of those aristocratic families.

In an instant, except for mortals and rogue cultivators who did not participate, everyone was submerged by countless fierce ghosts.

"Ah..."

"No, don't!"

"My child!"

The city echoed with screams of anguish, cries, and pleas for help, but Xu Changqing remained unmoved.

Soon, thirty percent of the living beings in the entire city were dead. The streets were covered in blood, and various heads, metal debris, and ruins floated in rivers of blood.

The once bright technological city had now become extremely desolate. Buildings collapsed, fires erupted everywhere, and sparks flew. Choking smoke billowed.

This day would be known as the darkest day in the Eternal Star Domain, referred to by the world as the Demonic Invasion.

An Outer Domain demon invaded the Eternal Star Domain, causing the powerful families of the Eternal Star Domain to fall. The remaining members of each family were less than a hundred.

Some family members were out on expeditions in spaceships and were unaware of the changes at home. Thus, Xu Changqing could do nothing about them.

On this day, the Eternal Star Domain was filled with cries, blood, and a strong smell of blood, intense fires, and blazing tears.

The Eternal Star Domain had many aristocratic families, but now they had all turned into ruins.

The Saint Kings couldn't bear to witness this scene and wanted to go out to stop it, but they understood that they were powerless to turn the tide and could only choose to escape, fleeing into the starry sky.

This was the karma they had created themselves.

"I will search for the Divine Immortal Robe. Once I find it, I will head to the Big Dipper to get revenge!" a Great Sage secretly vowed, the only Great Sage, also fled into the starry sky.

Because he knew that even after Xu Changqing passed his tribulation, he wouldn't have much confidence in keeping him.

They still didn't know how many trump cards Xu Changqing had yet to reveal.

Emperor Daoyan was a Great Emperor known to every household. Since he could give Xu Changqing so many Saint weapons, he likely had weapons ranging from Great Sage to Quasi-Emperor.

If he impulsively went out to fight Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing took out a Quasi-Emperor weapon, even if he wouldn't die from the activation, with the power of a Quasi-Emperor, he should be able to escape from his grasp.

Besides, his blatant appearance meant he must have trump cards.

Many people had this thought and chose to flee into the starry sky, waiting for Xu Changqing to leave before returning.

However, two Saint Kings were blinded by rage and waited there for Xu Changqing to finish his tribulation before directly attacking him for revenge.

Xu Changqing naturally sensed this, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He dared to do this, so he could also escape.

Back then, when he was undergoing his tribulation, there were also Great Sages who crafted Divine Movement Talismans, so he wasn't afraid of Great Sages or Saint Kings chasing him.

Moreover, he still had the Saint King Battle Armor and Spaceship given by Emperor Daoyan.

Xu Changqing endured the Heavenly Tribulation while carrying out a crushing slaughter, not letting go of any faction that had participated.

The Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger, and he became more severely wounded, and this was only the beginning.

This day left a deep impression on all the beings in the Eternal Star Domain; the great powers they admired had all been bloodbathed.

Within the family, everyone, regardless of age or gender, even pregnant women, was purged. Those buildings were also destroyed by terrifying lightning.

Everyone was in despair. The sky was dim, the sun and moon had vanished, and metal fragments occasionally rained down from the sky.

"A peerless ruthless individual." Gan Long clicked his tongue, his fear of Xu Changqing surging once more.

Lin Qianyu's face turned deathly pale. She had personally witnessed her father and mother fall to that Bone Saber, and saw her three-year-old sister cleaved in two.

"No, no, why are you doing this? They didn't provoke you..."

"It was those scoundrels who ganged up to kill you, why must you involve my family?"

Overwhelmed with grief and anger, Lin Qianyu's face grew paler. Sweat beaded on her palms and the back of her neck. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Seeing this, Gan Long sighed and softly said, "Masochist. Are you comfortable now? Did you even fall for his charm?"

He couldn't bear to watch the scene any longer, so he carried Lin Qianyu on his back and fled into the starry sky. He took out the spaceship Lin Qianyu had given him and headed towards the Emperor's Path.

He looked back at the Eternal Star Domain.

He saw the white-haired man standing atop a vast Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, kneeling amidst dense piles of steel and corpses, panting. He was covered in blood, with flesh missing in places, exposing bone-white bones. Intense lightning continued to strike down from the sky.

This scene left an extremely deep impression on him.

He would never forget it.
