In the dark, fathomless Starry Sky, an immense Starry Sky Battleship sped forward.
All around it was silent.
Yet within that silent Starry Sky, figures lay hidden, lurking in the shadows.
"Is that Qin Hao's Starry Sky Battleship?"
"They say Qin Hao slaughters Five-Tribulation Sovereigns like chickens and dogs, and can even drive back Six-Tribulation Sovereigns. I wonder if it's true."

It was not that they distrusted their Intelligence. The feat was simply too heaven-defying.
A Half-Step Sovereign could kill Five-Tribulation Sovereigns, then grievously wound and drive back a Six-Tribulation Peak Sovereign?
Had they gone mad, or had
