Though there was no way to invade the starry sky and use that shortcut to merge with the Dao, Hai Chen could not force the matter when he was weaker. Trading the lives of tens of thousands of his subordinates for an Attribute Treasure was not a loss, especially one that combined offense and defense.
Several days quickly passed. The anticipation on Hai Chen's face grew increasingly intense, but as time wore on, that anticipation turned into anxiety, then unease, apprehension, and disappointment!
An oath sworn in the name of the Star Abyss Will could never be violated. Thus, it had never occurred to him that Lu Ye had been unable to fulfill his promise from the start. He merely felt that Lu Ye... was probably already dead!
Otherwise, he could not possibly have failed to show himself.
Ten years of waiting, tens of thousands of subordinates sent across, and in the end, it had all been like drawing water with a bamboo basket—nothing but emptiness?
Hai Chen nearly went mad.
He did not mourn the losses among his subordinates. All he cared about was that Attribute Treasure which should originally have been his!
The person in charge of the Star Abyss Gate in the Heavenly Gang Star System shared Hai Chen's feelings. This cultivator named Bulomu was not as simple-minded as Hai Chen, and he commanded far more cultivators.

Like Hai Chen, he believed Lu Ye had already died. Beyond his disappointment was even greater fury. He immediately gave the order for his subordinates to launch a full-scale invasion of the starry sky.
At the Star Abyss Gate in the Heavenly Gang Star System, a world-shaking battle suddenly erupted.
