The pirate crew led by the fish-man Arlong was called the Arlong Pirates. Arlong himself had a bounty of fifty million berries and reigned supreme over several nearby seas, wielding immense power.
Su Yuexi arrived above a stretch of sea. Below lay an enormous island, with a black dragon flag flying overhead. It was the Arlong Pirates' base.
"So this is the place? Then... disappear!"
Her beautiful face cold, Su Yuexi struck downward with her palm!
"Boom!"
Space shattered, and a massive black hand blotted out the sky as it descended!
In the blink of an eye, the island that housed the Arlong Pirates' base was reduced to dust.
The instant Su Yuexi wiped out the Arlong Pirates with a single palm strike-
"Rumble!"
Dark clouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed, and thunder roared!
The entire High-Tier Pirate World shook violently, and vast stretches of space collapsed!
The strongest beings in the High-Tier Pirate World immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Hum!"
Terrifying heavenly might descended, and a gigantic, cold, merciless eye appeared in the sky!
Every living being in the High-Tier Pirate World felt that terrifying heavenly might pressing down on them!
"This is... the Heavenly Dao's Eye?!"
"How could this happen... what kind of being drew out the Heavenly Dao's Eye?"
"Heavenly Dao, please grant us supreme power!"
At that moment, countless supreme experts trembled, gripped by incomparable terror.
Ordinary beings fell straight to their knees, kowtowing over and over as they begged the Heavenly Dao for protection and power.
Among the crowd, Nami's face was pale, her voice trembling. "The legendary Heavenly Dao has actually appeared. Can that senior... handle him?"
Divine light blazed in Su Yuexi's eyes, and she instantly calculated the location of the High-Tier Pirate World's Heavenly Dao.
Within a dark space.
"Boom!"
A thunderous crash suddenly rang out!
Su Yuexi had found the pirate world's Heavenly Dao Space and stepped straight inside.
At the same time, the pirate world's Heavenly Dao took the form of a burly middle-aged man. Holding the Heavenly Dao Battle Axe, he coldly watched Su Yuexi force her way in.
Golden divine light flickered in Su Yuexi's eyes as her red lips parted. "You're no match for me. Submit to me and offer me your heavenly dao origin. I can elevate you and make you stronger. Otherwise, die."
After saying this, Su Yuexi froze for a moment.
Why did those lines sound so familiar???
She thought back carefully...
Wasn't that what Lu Chen had said to her before forcibly conquering her back then?
At the time, she had even made the bold declaration, "A Heavenly Dao may die in battle, but never submit!"
Then she had been conquered, filled with his essence, and molded into Lu Chen's shape.
Within the Ming Realm Dimension, Lu Chen smiled faintly. "Tsk, tsk. Putting what you learned into practice, huh?"
The pirate Heavenly Dao flew into a rage. He raised the Heavenly Dao Battle Axe and unleashed an attack formed from laws!
"Clang!"
Golden axe light pierced the darkness and slashed toward Su Yuexi!
Divine light swirled in Su Yuexi's pupils.
"Bang!"
The golden axe light shattered right before her eyes and vanished into nothingness!
Then Su Yuexi raised her hand and pressed down!
"Boom!"
A boundless golden hand slammed down toward the pirate Heavenly Dao!
"No!"
A piercing scream rang out!
The pirate Heavenly Dao was instantly crushed by the golden hand!
Su Yuexi withdrew her hand. A glowing white mass floated in her palm.
It was the heavenly dao origin of the High-Tier Pirate World!
Su Yuexi tossed it into the Ming Realm Dimension, then left the pirate world's Heavenly Dao Space.
"Senior, thank you!" Nami said gratefully.
Su Yuexi glanced at her and gave a mysterious smile. "Lu Chen doesn't act for free, you know. You'll have to pay a price."
Nami blinked twice. "What price will I have to pay?"
Su Yuexi promptly grabbed her and entered the Ming Realm.
Inside the Ming Realm Dimension.
Looking at the scene before her, Nami first froze, then her pretty face flushed crimson.
She was no fool. Of course she knew what that price meant.
Nor did she act coy. She went straight forward and lay down of her own accord.
Lu Chen glanced at Su Yuexi. "Well done."
Su Yuexi blushed and turned her head away.
Once the women had fallen asleep, utterly exhausted from their excessive exertions, Lu Chen rose into the skies above the Ming Realm.
He looked at the High-Tier Pirate World's heavenly dao origin in his hand and crushed it outright.
"Bang!"
A shower of multicolored light scattered, carrying the High-Tier Pirate World's cultivation system, devil fruits, and weapons to every corner of the Ming Realm.
The Ming Realm Dimension now had five major cultivation systems.
They were as follows.
The armor system, the Super Saiyan system, the Shrouding the Heavens cultivation system, the Tushan cultivation system, and the newly added high-tier pirate cultivation system.
Among them, the human factions practicing the armor system had already produced Single-Universe-level experts.
The factions practicing the Super Saiyan system currently had multiple fighters with Super Saiyan 3 combat power, capable of blasting apart miniature star systems like the solar system.
The human factions practicing the Shrouding the Heavens system had already produced experts who had attained the Dao and become Great Emperors.
Lu Chen glanced at that faction.
The Ji Family.
The Ji Family's ancestor had attained the Dao through boundless space, mastering the pinnacle of spatial power. Unmatched among his peers, he had reached the summit of the human path.
Seeing the Ming Realm grow ever more prosperous, Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Good, very good. In the future, you'll be the main force in my campaigns across universes and dimensions."
Lu Chen glanced back at the four sleeping women, then left the Ming Realm.
The moment he returned to the Marvel Universe, Lu Chen sensed a blazing power being born hundreds of billions of light-years away.
"Hmm? Such powerful fire energy!"
Lu Chen was somewhat astonished. This fire energy had actually reached a perfect degree of compatibility!
In other words, the being who possessed it would be the strongest summoner for all the fire armors in the Ming Realm!
"Let's take a look."
Lu Chen's interest was immediately piqued. Casually punching through the barriers of the multiverse, he began traveling through them.
"Hum!"
He crossed hundreds of billions of light-years in an instant, and a familiar blue planet came into view.
"Earth?"
"I wonder which parallel universe the Earth I lived on before transmigrating is in?"
Lu Chen's gaze shifted. He released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings, feeling somewhat disappointed. Though the blue planet before him was also Earth, it was not the Earth he had lived on before transmigrating.
"Forget it. There are countless parallel universes. I'll find it someday."
Lu Chen shook his head and arrived above Earth.
"So the Phoenix Force has appeared."
At that moment, an enormous phoenix flew above Earth's Kunlun Mountain, radiating divine might.
A young woman hovered in midair, facing off against the phoenix.
Suddenly, the young woman attacked, throwing a punch!
"Boom!"
Terrifying force from her punch shattered space and swept toward the phoenix!
Refusing to back down, the phoenix fought her.
Time ticked by. Before long, the young woman's aura began to weaken. She was no match for the phoenix.
Yet Lu Chen's eyes lit up. "This woman is pretty impressive. She's actually held out against the Phoenix Force for so long!"
Indeed!
The phoenix before him was a manifestation of the Phoenix Force, though it was only the incarnation of a phoenix force fragment, far inferior to the Phoenix Force's source.
The source of the Phoenix Force possessed power at least beyond multiverse-level.
