Taking the Initiative!
This horrifying scene left everyone in the room stunned.
The woman in front of me, Hong Xing'er, is a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Peak!
The shock of a Spirit Transformation Peak cultivator having his head forcibly pressed into his chest is unimaginable.
Moreover, the hand that was moving wasn't very fast; everyone present saw it very clearly.
Even an ordinary person could probably dodge it.
However, Hong Xing'er seemed to be frozen in place, showing no intention of moving at all.
Bang!
Hong Xing'er's body and Primordial Spirit exploded instantly, turning into green smoke and dissipating in the field.
The man in white looked at his hands:
"The control of power has indeed become unbalanced; not even the Primordial Spirit has remained."
"Sect Master!" Liu Qian's joyful voice rang out.
The man in white was none other than Chen Feng.
After receiving the message from Yue Yao, Chen Feng rushed to this starry sky without stopping.
According to the information he received from Yue Yao, Xingfeng Sect was not in a good situation, and he was afraid something might happen, so he rushed over immediately.
Yun Qingjue and the others also came to their senses at this moment, and everyone looked at Chen Feng with excited eyes.
No one expected Chen Feng to appear here at this time.
"Greetings, Sect Master Chen!"
Fellow Daoist Chen!
Everyone from Canglan Star greeted him warmly. Chen Feng's appearance immediately put their previously composed minds at ease.
Whenever they saw Chen Feng, just seeing his figure, they felt inexplicably at ease.
"You dare kill my junior sister!" Yan Shan glared fiercely at Chen Feng.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he wanted to devour Chen Feng.
However, Yan Shan did not make a move immediately. He was not stupid. Chen Feng was able to kill Hong Xing'er in one move, which meant that his strength far exceeded theirs.
Qin Ming said in a deep voice:
"Sir, we both hail from the Huo Fan Star Domain. We came here only to seek cooperation with you. Since you are unwilling, then so be it. We will take our leave now."
After saying that, Qin Ming led Yan Shan away into the distance.
Qin Ming knew very well that harsh words were meaningless at this time; getting away was the most important thing.
But Qin Ming and his companion hadn't gone very far when they came to a stop.
The two felt as if they were bound to the spot by a force, unable to move at all.
Two loud bangs rang out.
Qin Ming and Yan Shan's bodies exploded on the spot, turning into two clouds of blood mist.
Chen Feng's voice rang out at this moment:
"Go and take down that French ship."
Now that he had already made his move, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't leave any trouble behind. From the moment Hong Xing'er prepared to attack Liu Qian and the others, their fate was already sealed.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Yun Qingjue and the others snapped out of their daze and hurriedly headed towards the red magic ship in the distance.
However, when Yun Qingjue and the others arrived near the Dharma ship, they were all stunned by what they saw on the ship.
There was no one left on the Dharma ship at this moment; the only thing visible was a layer of blood mist floating on it, indicating that everyone on board had been killed.
To their horror, the magic ship had activated its defensive formation.
Chen Feng was able to kill everyone inside the magic ship through the defensive formation; this method was truly terrifying.
"Sect Master, what do these people from the Huo Fan Star Domain want?" Liu Qian recounted what had happened.
Chen Feng nodded:
"These people only want to use us; the best way to deal with them is to kill them."
Chen Feng didn't care about Hong Xing'er and the others at all; to him at present, a few Spirit Transformation were nothing more than slightly larger ants.
He was more concerned about the move he had just made.
He had already discovered that after condensing the Twenty-Four-Star Array, his control over his own power was clearly somewhat unbalanced.
His original plan was to shatter the physical bodies of the others and preserve their Primordial Spirit.
However, the force was too great, directly obliterating both their physical bodies and their Primordial Spirit.
It should be noted that this was without drawing upon the Star Power of the Heavens; he was relying solely on his ordinary physical strength.
Even so, he still felt somewhat out of control.
As for how he managed to kill Qin Ming and his companion remotely, as well as the people on the magic ship, it was a new ability he gained by condensing the Twenty-Four-Star Array.
Within a certain area, he can spread the Star Power, forming a domain-like existence.
Chen Feng named this technique "Star Domain".
However, his Star Domain is different from the domain constructed by Half-Step Dao Integration cultivator. The Star Domain cannot suppress the Principle of others; it is merely a means of long-range attack.
Furthermore, the Star Power is extremely concealed. While Void Refinement cultivator might be able to detect it, it would be highly unlikely that Qin Ming and his Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators could detect it.
Not long after, Yun Qingjue returned with the magic ship.
Chen Feng looked at the group:
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
Everyone nodded and then followed Chen Feng back to the Xingfeng Sect's fleet.
Upon returning to the fleet, Liu Qian immediately announced Chen Feng's departure from seclusion and arrival at the battlefield.
Upon receiving this news, the cultivators of Canglan Star were instantly in an uproar.
In the hearts of all the cultivators on Canglan Star, Chen Feng is the guardian deity of Canglan Star, the strongest person on Canglan Star today, and a being who can rival the Void Refinement.
His arrival boosted the morale of the previously demoralized army.
The fleet is currently under the command of the commander-in-chief.
Chen Feng sat in the main seat, listening quietly to the reports from Liu Qian and the others.
"So, the Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Hall will launch a major attack soon?"
Liu Qian nodded:
"Yes, this information should be correct. The Yin Corpse Sect has a total of five Void Refinement experts. As for the Thunder Hall's strength, we haven't investigated it yet."
Chen Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair.
He didn't care about the Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Hall at all.
Although I cannot assess my current strength, I am certain that dealing with Late Void Refinement will no longer be a problem.
What he cared about was how Canglan Star was brought to the Dinghai Star Domain.
The fact that a planet could be transported over such a vast distance made him very wary.
Moreover, it just so happens to be the day that the Immortal Domain Secret Realm of Dinghai Star Domain is about to open, which makes it seem like someone is secretly plotting something.
Seeing that Chen Feng didn't speak, Yun Qingjue spoke up:
"Sect Master Chen, what should we do now?"
The others also turned their gazes to Chen Feng; now that Chen Feng was back, they felt they had a pillar of support.
Chen Feng came to his senses and immediately said:
"Since they're preparing to make a move, there's no need for us to wait here any longer. Notify the fleet to depart for the Ming Province Continent immediately."
Unable to find the reason why Canglan Star appeared in the Dinghai Star Domain, Chen Feng temporarily put aside his thoughts and focused on resolving the immediate troubles.
This Ming Province Continent looks like it's rich in resources. The Star-Annihilating Cannon just happens to need a lot of Spirit Stone. If we go to this continent and plunder it, we're sure to get a lot of resources.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, everyone present was taken aback.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Feng actually planned to take the initiative to attack.
Xu Heng quickly spoke up:
"Sect Master, the Yin Corpse Sect has already joined forces with the Thunder Hall. Their number of Void Refinement cultivators is likely considerable. Moreover, the Ming Province Continent is the Yin Corpse Sect's stronghold, filled with numerous Restriction and formations. Wouldn't launching a proactive attack be too risky?"
The others also spoke up one after another.
"Yes, with you here, Sect Master, we can just guard the exit of the Starry Sky Vortex. With the help of antimatter weapons, we can hold off even if the Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Hall join forces."
Let's take a longer-term view.
Although everyone knew that Chen Feng was very strong and capable of fighting against those at the Void Refinement.
However, the combined forces of the Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Hall must have a large number of Void Refinement cultivators.
Among these people, only Chen Feng is capable of dealing with those at the Void Refinement; surely Chen Feng can't single-handedly take on all of Void Refinement.
Moreover, a top-tier power like the Yin Corpse Sect must have some hidden trump cards.
"Leave the Void Refinement combat force to me. Let's set off now." Chen Feng's voice was firm and unquestionable; he didn't intend to explain anything to the others.
He's never the type to wait for others to come to him.
"We will obey the sect leader's orders!"
Everyone immediately stood up and bowed. Chen Feng had already made his decision, so they would not offer any further opinions.
As Chen Feng gave the order, thousands of Carrier began heading towards the Starry Sky Vortex.
The cultivators on the Carrier were extremely excited. They had been fighting the Yin Corpse Sect for two whole years, and they had been on the defensive the entire time.
Now it's finally time to take the initiative and launch an attack.
Compared to the concerns of Spirit Transformation cultivators like Nangong Wentian, the lower-level cultivators didn't think that much about it at all.
In their eyes, now that Chen Feng had arrived, they were confident they could defeat the Yin Corpse Sect, because Chen Feng had never disappointed them.
In the Reception Hall of the Yin Corpse Sect on the Ming Province Continent.
At this moment, two cultivators were seated in the main seats of the reception hall.
One of them was Qiu Sanchi Void Refinement cultivator from the Yin Corpse Sect, who was surrounded by black energy.
To his left sat a beautiful woman dressed in a blue palace gown, with a lightning bolt mark between her eyebrows.
This woman was Void Refinement cultivator sent by the Thunder Hall of the Thunderous Continent.
"Fairy Shen, I never expected that you would personally lead the team this time. Speaking of which, it's been almost three hundred years since I last saw you, Fairy."
Qiu Sanchi spoke very politely.
He had no choice but to be polite. The woman in palace attire before him was named Shen Qingyue, and she was the deputy hall master of the Thunder Hall, with a cultivation level of Late Void Refinement.
He was only at the Early Void Refinement realm.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, let's skip the nonsense and talk about the Xingfeng Sect." Shen Qingyue said coldly.
Qiu Sanchi disagreed, seemingly already familiar with Shen Qingyue's personality.
He immediately turned his gaze to Li Haifeng, the sect leader of the Yin Corpse Sect, who was standing below.
"Haifeng, tell Fairy Shen about this Xingfeng Sect."
Li Haifeng bowed to Shen Qingyue and then said:
"We currently know of eight Spirit Transformation stage experts in this Xingfeng Sect, and they possess a total of over a thousand magic ships."
But Li Haifeng was interrupted halfway through his sentence.
Then, a woman holding a long sword, standing on the left side of the hall, said:
"Sect Master Li, so you're saying that Xingfeng Sect only has eight Nascent Spirit Transformation, while your Yin Corpse Sect has been fighting them for two whole years without success?"
The woman wielding the sword also had a lightning bolt mark between her eyebrows, clearly indicating that she was a cultivator from the Thunder Hall.
Shen Qingyue didn't come alone this time; she brought a total of twelve Nascent Spirit Transformation with her.
The woman wielding the sword was one of her disciples.
Several other Thunder Hall cultivators also showed mocking expressions.
For a force with only eight Spirit Transformation Yin Corpse Sect to fight them for so long, and now have to ask them for help, is truly beneath them.
The cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect all looked rather displeased by the mocking looks from the Thunder Hall cultivators.
"Xin'er, if you're going to spout nonsense, then the Xingfeng Sect must have something extraordinary about it to have been able to fight the Yin Corpse Sect for so long. Please let Sect Master Li continue."
Shen Qingyue reprimanded him.
Upon hearing this, the female disciple Xin'er immediately fell silent and quickly retreated to her original position.
Li Haifeng wasn't angry, but continued speaking:
"Indeed, as Fellow Daoist Xin'er said, taking down a mere eight Nascent Spirit Transformation would be extremely easy for our Yin Corpse Sect. However, the Xingfeng Sect possesses two treasures that can pose a threat to Void Refinement cultivators."
"One of its names is the Return to the Ruins Stone, which can annihilate the entire space within a radius of a hundred miles; even the Power of Principle is difficult to withstand it. The other is a ranged weapon called the Pupil of Annihilation."
After hearing Li Haifeng's introduction, the Thunder Hall cultivators fell silent.
Li Haifeng's description of these two treasures alone reveals their immense power; no wonder the Yin Corpse Sect hasn't been able to conquer the Xingfeng Sect for so long.
This kind of treasure can kill even those at the Void Refinement; if they're not careful, the Yin Corpse Sect could lose a Void Refinement expert.
Any Void Refinement expert is a pillar of their faction, so it's understandable that the Yin Corpse Sect wouldn't dare to take the risk.
Shen Qingfeng also showed interest, and she looked at Qiu Sanchi and said:
"After this matter is accomplished, my Thunder Hall will take one of these two treasures."
Qiu Sanchi laughed heartily, "That's naturally no problem. The Xingfeng Sect has many rare treasures, which we can divide equally. However, after dealing with the Xingfeng Sect, we hope that your esteemed institution can join us in dealing with the Huo Fan Star Domain."
The reason the Yin Corpse Sect called on the Thunder Hall members to come along was also for safety reasons.
After all, no one knows if Xingfeng Sect has any other trump cards up its sleeve.
Upon hearing about the Huo Fan Star Domain, Shen Qingyue's expression also turned serious.
Compared to this so-called Xingfeng Sect, she was more wary of the Huo Fan Star Domain, which was a force with at least six Void Refinement level experts.
At this moment, Li Haifeng suddenly spoke from below:
"By the way, we also obtained some information from the Xingfeng Sect cultivators: the Xingfeng Sect leader Chen of the Northern Territory, once had the feat of killing Void Refinement cultivator."
"Oh? What is this person's cultivation level?" Shen Qingyue's eyes narrowed slightly.
It's easy for cultivators at the Void Refinement level to determine a winner, but it's very difficult to determine a life or death, as experts at this level have far too many ways to protect themselves.
Only someone at the Late Void Refinement like her would be confident in killing other Void Refinement.
Li Haifeng said with a strange expression, "According to the captured people, Chen of the Northern Territory is at the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the Thunder Hall all looked astonished, and many of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
A Thunder Hall cultivator sneered:
"Sect Master Li, don't tell me you actually believe such a thing. Spirit Transformation Middle Stage cultivator killing Void Refinement expert? That's a joke."
Shen Qingyue, sitting in the main seat, also shook her head.
As a cultivator at the Void Refinement, she understood the difference between Void Refinement and Spirit Transformation better than anyone else; this was a gap that talent alone could not bridge.
The members of the Yin Corpse Sect in the arena did not mock like the people from the Thunder Hall.
They received the news a long time ago, and at first they didn't believe it, but as the number of captured Canglan Star cultivators increased over the past two years...
Almost everyone who was captured said that Chen of the Northern Territory had strength comparable to the Void Refinement.
It's one thing if only one person says it, but if so many people say it, then there's definitely a problem.
That is why the Yin Corpse Sect contacted the Thunder Hall to take action together.
Qiu Sanchi said, "Whether Chen of the Northern Territory has the strength to kill Void Refinement or not, we'll find out when we try. Fairy Shen, surely more than one person from your palace has come? Why haven't the other fellow cultivators shown themselves?"
Shen Qingyue answered calmly:
"The three of them have gone to investigate the situation in the Huo Fan Star Domain and will be there soon. What? Does Fellow Daoist Qiu think that with me here, it's not enough to resolve this Xingfeng Sect?"
Qiu Sanchi smiled and said, "That's not what I meant at all. I just thought it would be safer to have more people, since cultivators from other realms have unpredictable methods."
Shen Qingyue was about to answer when...
A Nascent Spirit Transformation from the Yin Corpse Sect rushed anxiously into the main hall.
"Report! Xingfeng Sect has assembled all its forces and arrived in our starry sky via the Starry Sky Vortex. The defensive formations set up in the Thirty-One Starry Sky Vortex have all been destroyed!"
