Chapter 284 Eternal Starfield
“Ancient Sage…” Zixia chuckled softly upon hearing this.
She slowly rose, her bare feet stepping onto the cold spaceship floor. Each step she took swayed with an alluring fragrance, an ultimate temptation that contained a chilling danger. She was no longer the "virtuous wife" or "human princess" who followed Ye Fan and cared about the Jiang family's reputation. Now, she had torn away all pretenses, revealing her most original, wild, and untamed witch nature.
She swept past the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion and the Golden-Winged Roc King, and under their almost stunned, fanatical gazes, she lightly touched her red lips with the tip of her tongue and declared with an air of wickedness: "Just an ancient saint, he's gone. Everyone, do you want to follow me to improve your cultivation and obtain more cultivation resources? Then start by destroying 'Heaven'. From now on, wherever I am, that is Heaven!"
In this world, a sage is indeed a being capable of crushing an entire realm. Yet now, she has broken through three trials amidst the starlight tribulation, her cultivation reaching the peak of the third level of the sage realm. Moreover, as a person with a primordial Dao embryo who later transformed into a chaotic physique and approached the Dao, who among those of the same realm has she ever feared?
"Longma, Little Peng King, if you're going to stir up trouble, make a big fuss." Zixia ordered, her tone as calm as if she were discussing lunch. "The life or death of the Xianyu family is none of our business, but I want that 'Paradise' holy ship, and everything they plundered."
……
In the starry sky, the battle raged on.
"Hahaha! The Fate Rock! It's actually the Fate Rock! The Immortal Feather Family really has a grand scheme!"
On the gleaming purple 'Paradise' warship, a group of pirates laughed wildly. They had just hauled a massive gray rock from the damaged silver holy ship; it was the divine main ingredient for refining the strongest evolution elixir, enough to make any major power envious.
Immediately afterwards, a woman emerged from the silver holy ship. She was bathed in starlight, her beauty almost ethereal, leaving the group of well-traveled raiders petrified.
"I never expected that even the most dazzling immortal pearl of the Immortal Feather Clan—Princess Qi Meng—would be here!"
The leader of 'Paradise,' Brahma, possessed a sinister aura and fiery red hair. He looked at Qi Meng, revealing icy white teeth, his eyes filled with greed and lust: "Miss Qi Meng, the blood of a god flows within you. I will plead with the ancient sage ancestor, Brahma, to grant us a marriage alliance! Once we gather the divine ingredients and refine the strongest elixir, our descendants will surely regain their supreme immortal bodies, becoming the greatest in the world!"
Qi Meng refused to accept her fate. She moved her fingers, and the Supreme Divine Technique instantly erupted, transforming into a sky full of celestial radiance that rushed towards Brahma.
"Boom!"
The two engaged in a fierce battle in the starry sky. The Eternal Starfield was a civilization where the Great Dao and technology intertwined. Not only were their physical skills astonishing, but they also continuously unleashed various terrifying technological treasures, their brilliance distorting space itself.
However, Qi Meng's protective divine armor was already damaged, and she was forced to retreat step by step under Brahma's wild and fierce offensive.
"Qi Meng, even if you have the perfect divine robe, you are no match for me!" Brahma sneered, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce, and he was about to capture Qi Meng alive.
In that instant, something unexpected happened.
The alarms on the 'Paradise'-class purple ship blared wildly, and its protective shield activated autonomously.
In Brahma's mind, an image inexplicably appeared—it was a woman.
A woman dressed in a purple gauze dress, revealing large expanses of skin as white as mutton fat. Her beauty was even more breathtaking than Qi Meng's, possessing a captivating allure that struck the very soul. Even though it was merely an image transcribed from the Holy Ship and filtered through the power of laws, it stirred within Brahma, a ruthless man who had tasted blood, an impulse to worship and yearn for her favor. At this moment, Qi Meng seemed utterly uninteresting to him, but just as he tried to see her face clearly, it remained a blur.
The woman in the picture moved.
She seemed to be making a "drawing a knife" motion in mid-air with minimal effort.
The next second, the screen disappeared.
"BOOM—BOOM—!!!"
A deafening roar shook the entire starry sky.
The once invincible Saint-class purple ship, which had victory in its grasp, was suddenly split in two without any warning!
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, exuding a chilling Taoist aura.
What protective shields, what holy-level outer shells, are as fragile as paper in the face of this casual strike.
The once fierce battlefield instantly fell into a deathly silence. Before the pirates of 'Paradise' could recover from their shock, a group of barbarian-like monks had already charged into the battlefield.
"Roar! Loot everything! Burn everything! Kill everyone! Torture all the men, and the women... uh, the women are to be dealt with by the Dao Lord! No! Both men and women are to be dealt with by the Dao Lord!" The dragon horse took the lead, displaying its rogue skills honed on Earth to the fullest.
The Golden-Winged Roc King wielded the Heavenly Roc Divine Halberd, his face as cold as a demon god's, and every strike shattered a mecha.
This group of "barbarians" from the Big Dipper, honed in the starry sky, was a nightmare for the cultivators of the Eternal Starfield who relied too heavily on external aids. In no time, both the pirates of 'Paradise' and the remnants of the Immortal Feather Clan were captured and dragged before Zixia like dead dogs.
Zixia stood barefoot in the void, looking down at the group of prisoners.
Brahma and Qi Meng, whose cultivation had been sealed, were now looking at her with expressions of complete willingness.
"Since you're here, why don't you all stay?"
She parted her lips slightly and formed a hand seal. In an instant, a strange pink mist spread out, as if it had a life of its own, penetrating the seven orifices of each prisoner.
The Six Desires Demonic Art!
At the same time, a grand, sacred, yet compelling voice of scripture resounded in everyone's minds.
The Sutra of Salvation!
One demon, one god, two completely different powers, perfectly fused in Zixia's hands.
The pirates and monks, whose eyes had initially been filled with hatred and fear, gradually became dazed, their expressions transforming into a fanatical devotion. They looked at Zixia as if she were the only true god in the world, kneeling on the ground and prostrating themselves in fervent worship.
"Greetings, Master! I am willing to die for you!"
This bizarre scene sent chills down Qi Meng and Fan Tian's spines, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Zixia withdrew her hand with satisfaction, her voice returning to its usual alluring tone: "Very good. Follow behind our boat!"
"Yes, Master!" Hundreds of cultivators, whose forms were controlled, kowtowed in unison. They then boarded the remaining warship with calm expressions, in an orderly fashion.
“Tell us about it!” Zixia leaned lazily against the command seat she had seized, her long, slender legs crossed. “What’s going on here? And tell us about this place, so we outsiders can hear what’s going on.”
Seeing that the stunningly beautiful demoness before him didn't seem to intend to kill him immediately, Brahma hurriedly swallowed and began to recount the details of this star field.
This star system is dominated by the "Eternal" main star. The Eternal Ancient Star is enormous and reigns supreme over all directions. Surrounding the main star are several smaller life-bearing satellites, such as Immortal Feather, Primordial Demon, and Divine Earth, which surround it like stars surrounding the moon at its center.
"Lord Dao, please don't underestimate the technological civilization here." In order to save his life, Brahma revealed everything. "The Eternal Starfield is extremely xenophobic. All the major cities and checkpoints have identification technologies such as gene imprinting and bloodline testing. Ordinary disguises cannot escape the all-seeing eyes of those machines."
He pointed to the twinkling stars in outer space, a glint of pride mixed with fear flashing in his eyes: "What's even more terrifying is the defense system. The planets surrounding the Eternal Main Star are mostly heavily armed war fortresses. This is an 'island chain' defense network laid out tens of thousands of years ago. Once an enemy invades, these ultimate weapons, combining Dao patterns and technology, will awaken. They are like ancient ferocious beasts. Once, a Saint King-level Ancestral King tried to break in, and was directly punched through half his body, his blood spilling across the starry sky."
Brahma spoke with great enthusiasm. He believed that demonstrating the power of the Eternal Starfield would instill fear in these bumpkins. Even amidst extreme fear, a lewd greed flickered in his eyes as he looked at Zixia.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound.
Golden-Winged Roc King withdrew his hand expressionlessly. Brahma's head slumped limply, his neck bones completely crushed.
“Dead men don’t deserve that kind of look.” Little Peng King coldly kicked Brahma’s corpse aside. He would never allow any ant to harbor any disrespectful thoughts towards Zixia.
