Bloodbath in the Eternal Star Domain

"He wants to go in! No, stop him! If he gets inside, our Eternal Star Domain might shatter!" The hidden powerhouses could no longer sit still.

An old man directly piloted a Saint King-level Battle Armor into the Heavenly Tribulation and attacked without a word.

Boom!

The battle armor raised its hand, unleashing a pillar of divine light that tore through the Sea of Lightning and struck Xu Changqing.

Bang!

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

Yet his expression remained unchanged. He did not even look back, instead following the explosive shockwave and crashing headfirst 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, making the entire Eternal Star Domain tremble as though it could not withstand such Divine Might.

Boom!

An enormous crimson bolt of lightning fell from the heavens, directly cracking the golden Saint King Mecha.

It was merely a single strike from the Heavenly Tribulation, yet it had already created such a horrifying sight.

The terrifying current flowed along the battle armor and invaded the Mecha's interior, electrocuting the Saint King powerhouse until smoke rose from him.

Those hidden figures who had intended to intercept Xu Changqing were so frightened that they did not even dare show their faces.

If they had been at their peak, they might have dared to brave the Heavenly Tribulation and kill Xu Changqing.

But now they were all old, and Xu Changqing had the Demonic Banner protecting him. Killing him in an instant was simply impossible.

"Where is Great Sage Longlin?"

"Why doesn't he dare come out and stop that Outer Domain Heavenly Demon?!"

"Damn it, would you dare go? Do you know how terrifying a Great Sage Heavenly Tribulation is? If he attacks, he might not kill the Outer Domain Heavenly Demon, and could destroy the Eternal Star Domain instead."

In the shadows, those elderly powerhouses began arguing. They had never seen a Great Sage Tribulation.

But even for a Saint King Tribulation, they had to travel deep into the Starry Sky to undergo it, and had nearly failed to survive. How could a Great Sage Tribulation be any less terrifying?

Could a Great Sage with depleted vitality withstand a calamity that he had nearly failed to overcome even in his prime?

"Then what do we do?"

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

"Damn it! The Divine Immortal Robe is gone, otherwise how could we let that devil run rampant?"

The Saint Kings hidden in the shadows were furious, yet helpless. If their vitality had been abundant, they might have dared to risk everything.

Boom!

A vast Sea of Lightning descended again. The Heavenly Tribulation was even more terrifying and domineering than Xu Changqing's, driving the Saint King powerhouse into despair.

The Mecha issued warnings as countless lightning serpents coiled around the golden battle armor, emitting piercing sounds.

The old man gritted his teeth, ignored the Heavenly Tribulation, and dove toward the Eternal Star Domain. He moved so fast that no one could see him clearly. In an instant, he entered the Eternal Star Domain and appeared before Xu Changqing.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, he stomped down on Xu Changqing's chest. At the same time, the Saint King Tribulation above descended and engulfed them both.

Bang!

Xu Changqing was stomped in the chest and slammed deep into the ground, falling into magma and coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

"Ah!"

But the Saint King above screamed repeatedly. Even with the Mecha's protection, the Saint King Tribulation was incomparably terrifying.

Moreover, because he had entered the Eternal Star Domain, the range of the Heavenly Tribulation expanded once more. A stray arc of lightning destroyed countless skyscrapers, while mountains and rivers instantly evaporated.

Lush forests became scorched wastelands in an instant. The ground split apart, and endless magma erupted from beneath it.

Boom!

Xu Changqing did not want to waste any more time. He directly used the Great Sage's Soul Slaying Nail. A Great Sage's pressure covered the entire area, shattering the void. Heaven collapses and earth cracks, ghosts wailed and gods howled.

That was merely a wisp of a Great Sage's pressure, yet it created an incomparably terrifying scene.

Even Gan Long, billions of miles away, felt his chest tighten and found it hard to breathe. It was too powerful—that aura was too horrifying.

Nearby cities began to collapse. An earthquake struck, skyscrapers thousands of meters tall swayed crookedly before crashing down, while flying trains and hovering cars in the sky exploded in an instant.

For a time, flames lit up throughout the dim Eternal Star Domain. The instruments in the sky turned into fireworks and exploded without cease.

Everyone was in despair.

Boom!

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

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

At that very instant, with a boom, lightning carrying Great Sage Divine Might crashed down.

"Ah!"

The Soul Slaying Nail carried boundless ghostly light as it engulfed the Saint King-level Battle Armor. The armor let out a single mournful wail before disappearing completely.

The people hidden in the shadows drew sharp breaths. Damn it, this kid did not play by the rules.

Xu Changqing showed a pained expression. He knew that nail would not be coming back.

The nail contained countless evil Auras and wronged souls, and lightning tribulations were the greatest bane of such weapons. That weapon was effectively destroyed.

Still, it was not a major problem. He had five left. He originally had six, but now only five remained.

Xu Changqing flew up from the planet's core, bringing vast amounts of magma with him as he shot fiercely in one direction. Along the way, he constantly resisted the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

He removed the Demonic Banner wrapped around him and gripped its pole. Whenever he passed cities or clans whose markings he recognized, he stopped without hesitation, hovering in the air and staring coldly below.

Within the city, countless people stood silently in the streets, weeping soundlessly. Some little girls hid in their mothers' arms, while the mothers shed tears and opened their mouths, wanting to plead for the white-haired man in the sky.

Xu Changqing took in every one of their expressions.

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

"Divine Lord, my child will be born in two days. Can you spare us?"

"Divine Lord, my wife is still waiting for me to come home. I'm not from here. Can you spare me?"

Countless mortals knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Tears streamed down their faces as they smashed their heads against the ground until their foreheads became bloody pulp. Even pregnant women did the same.

Xu Changqing remained expressionless. His white hair fluttered in the wind, his entire body covered in blood and wounds. He stood in midair, holding a milky-white Bone Saber that dripped with blood.

He said nothing. Instead, he locked onto those with cultivation who wore the uniforms of clans or other factions.

He showed no mercy and directly waved the battle flag in his hand.

"Woooooo~"

Ghostly wails rose one after another. Countless mortals sensed souls passing beside them, yet those souls did not harm them, filling their hearts with joy.

A pregnant woman wore a blue skintight combat suit. A purple three-star emblem was engraved on her chest, with elegant ancient characters beneath it. At this moment, she knelt on the ground and prayed.

The moment Xu Changqing saw this, his gaze turned cold. He recognized that emblem—it belonged to the family that had piloted the Saint-grade Spaceship.

"All clans and factions that participated in the battle—regardless of gender or age, kill them all!"

Xu Changqing gave the order. Those ghosts and wronged souls laughed and cried as they surged into the major cities like an overwhelming tide.

He wrapped himself in the Great Sage's Demonic Banner and was exceptionally familiar with the aura of those aristocratic clans.

In an instant, aside from mortals and independent cultivators who had not participated in the battle, everyone was swallowed by countless vicious ghosts.

"Ah..."

"No, don't!"

"My child!"

Wails, cries, and desperate pleas for help echoed through the city, but Xu Changqing remained unmoved.

Before long, thirty percent of the city's living beings had died. Blood covered the streets, and all sorts of heads, metal fragments, and ruined walls floated in rivers of blood.

The once-bright technological city had become utterly desolate. Buildings collapsed everywhere, countless flames burst forth, electric arcs flashed about, and choking black smoke billowed into the air.

This was the darkest day in the history of the Eternal Star Domain, later known as the invasion of the Heavenly Demon.

An Outer Domain Heavenly Demon had invaded the Eternal Star Domain, causing its powerful clans to fall until fewer than a hundred people remained in each major family.

Some clan members had been training in the Starry Sky aboard spaceships and knew nothing of the disaster at home, so Xu Changqing could do nothing about them.

On this day, cries rang out everywhere in the Eternal Star Domain. Blood and the thick stench of blood filled every place, alongside raging fires and blazing tears.

The Eternal family had many aristocratic clans, but now they had all become ruins.

Those Saint Kings could not bear to witness this scene and wanted to go out and stop him, but they understood that they were powerless to change anything. They could only choose to flee far into the Starry Sky.

This was the karma they had brought upon themselves.

"I'll search for the Immortal Robe. Once I find it, I'll go to the Big Dipper and take revenge!" A Great Sage secretly swore. The only Great Sage also vanished into the Starry Sky.

He knew that even after Xu Changqing completed his tribulation, he had little confidence in being able to keep him behind.

They still did not know how many more things 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 possessed weapons ranging from Great Sage-grade to Quasi-Emperor-grade as well.

If he acted rashly and fought Xu Changqing, then if Xu Changqing brought out a Quasi-Emperor Weapon and activated it, he might not die, but Xu Changqing could probably escape from his hands using the Quasi-Emperor Weapon's power.

Besides, if Xu Changqing dared appear so openly, he surely had more trump cards.

Many people thought this way. They chose to flee into the Starry Sky and wait for Xu Changqing to leave before returning.

But two Saint Kings had been blinded by rage. They waited for Xu Changqing to finish his tribulation, intending to rush in, kill him, and take revenge.

Xu Changqing naturally sensed them. A cold smile appeared on his lips. Since he had dared to do this, he had a way to leave.

When he underwent tribulation back then, he had possessed Divine Movement Talismans made by a Great Sage. Thus, he was not afraid of a Great Sage or Saint King pursuing him.

Besides, he still had the Saint King-level Battle Armor and spaceship Emperor Daoyan had given him.

While enduring the Heavenly Tribulation, Xu Changqing carried out an overwhelming slaughter. He spared none of the factions that had participated in the battle.

The Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger and stronger, and his injuries worsened. Yet this was only the beginning.

On this day, every living being in the Eternal Star Domain was left with an unforgettable impression. The major factions they had revered were all bloodbathed.

Within those families, everyone was purged—men, women, the old, the young, even pregnant women. Their buildings were also destroyed by terrifying lightning.

Everyone was in despair. The sky was dark, the sun and moon had vanished, and metal debris occasionally fell from the heavens.

"An absolute madman." Gan Long clicked his tongue, and his fear of Xu Changqing deepened once again.

Lin Qianyu's face was utterly pale. She had watched her father and mother fall beneath that Bone Saber, and had seen her three-year-old sister split in half.

"No, no! Why did you do this? They never provoked you..."

"It was those bastards who surrounded and tried to kill you. Why did you drag my family into this?"

Lin Qianyu was overcome by rage. Her face grew paler and paler, sweat covered her palms and back, and her eyes rolled white as she fainted.

Gan Long sighed when he saw this and said softly, "Masochist, are you satisfied now? You still liked his bearing?"

He could not bear to watch such a scene either, so he carried Lin Qianyu and fled into the Starry Sky. He took out the spaceship Lin Qianyu had given him and headed toward the Emperor's Road.

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, half-kneeling amid densely packed steel and corpses as he panted. His whole body was covered in blood, and some parts had no flesh left, exposing stark white bones. Blazing lightning kept falling from the sky.

That scene was etched deeply into his mind.

He would never forget it for the rest of his life.
