Chapter 480: Chapter 394: Vast Sea Star Realm, Bo Yuan’s Schemes

The desolate starry sky, a solitary starship quietly suspended.

If you look closely, you will find that the starship’s main structure is of the style of the Ancient Infinite Immortal Dynasty. However, after modifications, it has been equipped with a battering ram, with some decorative structures removed, making it more practical.

The surface of the starship is covered with countless scars, with a huge unknown creature’s intestine hanging from the battering ram, still wriggling slowly.

Inside the cabin, an Ancient Race Immortal level being is sitting cross-legged, healing.

He wears bronze armor embedded with array runes, his skin is a pale blue, his features are cold and deep, and a silver flame burns in the third eye on his forehead, with a palace lamp flickering in front of him.

If Zhang Kui were here, he would find that this person does not resemble other Ancient Races, who are usually ferocious; instead, he looks more like a human, and the flame in the three eyes is actually the Yin Yang True Fire.

With a ripple of space, this Ancient Race suddenly formed a spell with his hand and pointed forward, causing the Yin Yang True Fire to spiral out and land on the palace lamp.

Buzz!

The light of the palace lamp shone brilliantly, its radiant splendor gradually spreading across the entire starship. With the core empowered by the Yin Yang True Fire, various obscure blood qi and eerie black light, even the wriggling intestine hanging from the ship’s bow, were ignited and burned to ashes.

“It actually works…”

The Ancient Race’s eyes were filled with incredulity, then he looked at his palm, where the Yin Yang True Fire was rolling up and down, controlled at will.

“No restrictions, no divine thought attachment… Who would be so generous…”

The handsome Ancient Race frowned, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he sharply turned around and looked behind him into the starry sky, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent. With a cold snort, he piloted the starship into the Star Sea.

Soon after he left, boundless blood-colored light instantly enveloped this area of the starry sky. A surging blood mist rushed forth from the deep space, within which vague blood-colored altars floated.

The terrifying blood-colored domain continuously expanded, causing even a nearby meteorite filled with dormant underworld entities to quickly wither and shatter.

Suddenly, a white mask the size of a hill emerged from the dense blood mist, its grand and cold divine thought sweeping across the nearby starry sky, but unfortunately, the handsome Ancient Race had long escaped without a trace.

After a cold snort, the Blood Sea slowly retreated into the dark starry sky…

…

On the other side, the handsome Ancient Race piloted the starship through the underworld’s crimson starry sky, constantly shuttling through scenes of destruction. Massive stars had shattered, Sun Stars had disassembled leaving behind decaying halos, and ancient altars and pieces of starships were floating around… Evidently, this was a vast ancient battlefield, extending across several star zones.

It seemed that this Ancient Race had become accustomed to this sight, his eyes showing nothing but numbness. After more than half a month of navigation, he finally left the battlefield, greeted by a breathtaking view:

Countless meteors had piled up to form gigantic star reefs rivaling the size of stars, arrays of spiritual light flickered, and buildings of diverse styles were densely packed, evidently reflecting different racial styles. Starships densely ascended and descended, as if stars in the sky were dancing constantly.

The handsome Ancient Race’s tense expression finally relaxed.

An immediately approaching patrolling starship transmitted an image from within, where an Insect Demon respectfully said, “Immortal Venerate Boyuan, you have returned.”

“Mm…”

The handsome Ancient Race nodded slightly, opting for minimal words, piloting the starship towards a circular hall atop a mountain.

After he left, the Insect Demon heaved a sigh of relief, while a nearby Wolf Demon snorted coldly, “Just a lower-rank race, simply arrogant.”

“What nonsense!”

The Insect Demon frowned, “If you had the ability to come and go freely in the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, we would also treat you with care. In the Vast Sea Star Realm, strength is paramount. Although your Moon Wolf Race is powerful, you must abide by the rules.”

The Wolf Demon snorted coldly, closing its mouth.

The Insect Demon shook its head slightly and continued piloting the starship to patrol.

The Immortal level Ancient Race named Bo Yuan was naturally unaware of the patrol members’ discussion. Piloting the starship, he landed outside the circular hall, looking up at the towering building before striding in.

The central area inside the hall was empty, yet various sizes of high platform thrones stood around it, all occupied by figures radiating grandeur. There were enormous figures of the Demon Race and multi-armed and multi-eyed Ancient Races, and in the center was a black Five-Clawed Dragon haloed by a massive, blazing light.

Bo Yuan slightly cupped his hands, “Lords, I have returned.”

On the left, an Ancient Race with three heads and six arms lifted his eyes, speaking in a deep voice, “How is the situation?”

Bo Yuan solemnly replied, “The Blood God Influence is still expanding, causing heavy losses to those Star Beasts, forcing them to unite at one place. Meanwhile, the remnants of the Deceitful Immortals from the Ancient Immortal Dynasty are retreating and fortifying their defenses, plotting something unknown…”

“Just for the Immortal King Cave Heaven!”

On the right, a Wolf Demon with a crescent moon suspended behind his head snorted coldly, “After the collapse of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal King Cave Heaven hasn’t appeared again. For tens of thousands of years, there have been countless legends, yet only these remnants still hold onto fantasies.”

“Let’s not bother with them first!”

A Two-headed Yaksha, surrounded by a twisted space, spoke harshly, “The power of the Blood God Cultists is continuously expanding. If they’re allowed to summon a True God, there would be no place left for us in the Longevity Star Realm. I don’t wish to wander aimlessly through the void for a thousand more years.”

The three-headed six-armed Ancient Race leader hesitated and said, “Why don’t we send emissaries to unite with those Star Beasts?”

Someone immediately objected, “They’re just like the Star Gods, eager to devour us alive to grow their power. Have you ever seen food joining hands with a predator?”

“Then what’s your suggestion?”

For a moment, some argued while others watched coldly.

Bo Yuan remained calm and silent.

The Vast Sea Star Realm was originally formed by a conglomeration of various races, and they were not harmonious with each other, a situation Bo Yuan was already accustomed to.

“Quiet, all of you!”

The giant Black Dragon at the center suddenly opened its eyes and let out a cold snort, causing the hall to instantly fall silent. Some people remained expressionless, while others lowered their heads, strange glints flashing in their eyes.

The Black Dragon paid no mind, looked down at Bo Yuan, and said in a slightly gentler voice, “An unprecedented Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire… Bo Yuan, it seems you’ve gained quite a lot this time.”

The handsome member of the Ancient Race cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to Dragon Venerable, this is the reason for my urgency in returning. A formidable power is emerging in the southern Celestial Essence Star Zone, and though its strength is unknown, it can freely trade Heaven and Earth True Fire, without any Divine Thought attachment or control.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the Yin Yang True Fire erupted forth, its dazzling silver light illuminating the entire hall.

“What?!”

“Fierce yet gentle, it seems quite powerful.”

“At such a level… isn’t it foolish not to have True Spirit control its origin?”

The emergence of the Yin Yang True Fire immediately caught everyone’s attention. Those who cultivated the Immortal Path were quite knowledgeable about Heaven and Earth Law Spiritual Objects and instantly recognized its extraordinary nature.

However, the Black Dragon’s attention was focused elsewhere. Its massive dragon eyes slightly narrowed as it asked, “This new emerging power… what’s going on exactly?”

Bo Yuan nodded and said, “Dragon Venerable also knows that Star Thieves and wanderers occasionally enter the Desolate Ancient Battlefield to seek treasures. While evading Blood God Cultists, I stumbled upon a group of them, and they were actually hunting the Sunbird Red Pigeon Race…”

As he narrated, the expressions of the various tribal leaders in the hall turned grave.

If one were to speak of the most difficult forces in the vast cosmos, the Sunbird Red Pigeon Race undoubtedly occupied a prominent place. To think a power could restrain Spirit Fires and hunt them wantonly is utterly shocking.

After hearing Bo Yuan’s story, the Black Dragon was silent for a moment, “Where is that power located?”

As soon as the words fell, a brilliant star map instantly appeared within the hall, encompassing the vast and small Star Zones of the Longevity Star Realm.

One could see a central patch of red light representing the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, spanning over a dozen Star Zones, with clusters of various colors entrenched within. To the north was a long stretch of blue light, clearly marking this Star Realm.

Bo Yuan pointed to the southern part of the Ancient Battlefield, saying in a deep voice, “According to them, it’s located here, a place called the Celestial Essence Star Zone, named the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty.”

“Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty…”

A look of confusion flashed in the Black Dragon’s eyes. After pondering for a long time, it said, “Regardless of their origins, since they oppose the Star God, they surely wouldn’t want the Blood God to descend. I’m thinking of sending an envoy to ally with them and jointly attack the Blood God. Who among you is willing to go?”

However, as soon as this was said, everyone closed their eyes, pretending not to hear.

The Vast Sea Star Realm’s hundred races gathered, fiercely competing for resources. Traversing the dangerous Ancient Battlefield, even the slightest misstep could lead to death and the fall of their family. No one wanted to be foolish.

The Wolf Demon, with a crescent moon floating behind it, suddenly smiled and said, “Bo Yuan is the most outstanding prodigy of the Vast Sea in a hundred years, easily traversing the Ancient Battlefield. Such an important task should fall to you.”

“Indeed, Bo Yuan is up to the task!”

“I propose that when Bo Yuan returns, his tribe be exempt from taxes for ten years…”

“That would be excellent.”

In an instant, many leaders nodded in agreement.

Bo Yuan was taken aback, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. He gave a cold glance at the person beside him, then looked at the Black Dragon and the three-headed, six-armed leader, his eyes full of appeal.

But to his disappointment, the Ancient Race leader hesitated and said nothing, and the Black Dragon glanced around but also remained silent.

Bo Yuan was suddenly disheartened, took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, “Venerable Sea Dragon, I am willing to go, but if I don’t return, I plead that my clan be granted a place to stand.”

The Black Dragon nodded, “Granted!”

Bo Yuan cupped his hands again and turned to leave.

As they watched his disappearing figure, some were indifferent, others disdainful.

…

The starship slowly took off, passing through layers of mountains. One could see large and small cities standing in the basins, various races gathered, some with Spiritual Qi soaring into the sky, others congested and decaying, with people secretly fighting and slaughtering in the mountains.

Bo Yuan’s face was cold as he piloted the starship to a secluded canyon. Inside, the air was foul, layered wooden buildings blocking the sky, candlelight dotted around, pigeonhole-like houses filled with Humans and Ancient Race members, most of them emaciated, resembling Human Race more except for their three eyes.

“The clan leader is back!”

Seeing the starship land, many people immediately swarmed out, looking at Bo Yuan disembarking from the starship with reverence.

In the starry sky, the Ancient Race and Demon Race were the main species. Human Race was innately weak and could only find protection under the powerful Ancient Race. Yet, the Ancient Race looked down on these former kin. If it weren’t for the Vast Sea Star Realm’s fortunate emergence of a prodigy like Bo Yuan, the Human Race might have faced even more dire circumstances.

“What, absolutely not!”

Listening to Bo Yuan, several clan elders were immediately alarmed, “How can the words of Venerable Sea Dragon be trusted? The Wulong Race was once thriving a thousand years ago, yet after a devastating ambush, were driven out of the Star Realm, and was there ever a word from the Sea Dragon?”

“I know…”

Bo Yuan’s eyes were filled with helplessness, “In the law of the jungle of the Vast Sea Star Realm, there are many wandering races wanting to come in. If I don’t go, we’ll probably be driven out immediately.”

Everyone was suddenly speechless, their eyes full of despair.

“Rest assured, there might be a turn for the better this time…”

Bo Yuan suddenly said an enigmatic thing, puzzling many clan leaders, but he didn’t explain further, only silently looked up at the starry sky.

Since returning to the Vast Sea Star Realm, he had been acting.

He recounted most of what happened on the Ancient Battlefield, except one thing was secretly kept hidden: the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty was a Human Race power!
