Chapter 574: Spirit Star Assembly

「Lu, thank you! 」

Astra Star.

Baba La admiringly looked at Lu Xun.

She had already become the queen of Astra Star.

Before the countless people of Astra Star, she was a majestic and sacred queen.

But in front of Lu Xun, she has always been that cute, moe cat-eared girl.

This time Astra Star also faced a crisis, but thanks to the Guard Star Grand Formation set up by Lu Xun, it stubbornly withstood the attack of the Spirit Star Hunters.

The Chaos Stones in the hands of these Spirit Star Hunters are not infinite.

Generally, if two Chaos Stones cannot take it down, it means that Spirit Star is a tough one, and they will demand some benefits before giving up.

Or they simply give up.

It depends on the Spirit Star's strength.

If Astra Star did not have Lu Xun's help, even if it could hold out, it would probably have to pay a price and suffer considerable losses.

With Lu Xun's Guard Star Grand Formation in place, their losses are not great.

「Yes, Lu, this time it's all up to you. When I break through to the Tenth Realm, I will definitely thank you properly~」

Adaier said with a smiling face.

Her voice was so gentle it was unreal.

In her gaze toward Lu Xun, there was also admiration.

She seemed to have become Lu Xun's little fangirl.

Adaier's strategy toward Lu Xun has entered its second stage.

That is, to act as if conquered by Lu Xun, satisfying a man's desire to conquer.

Although she has never touched a man, Adaier believes she understands men quite well.

Men,

Isn't that just how they are?

Unfortunately, Lu Xun is not an ordinary man.

He is a man with cheats.

So, Adaier's strategy is not very effective against Lu Xun.

After checking the situation of Astra Star, Lu Xun also went to Yao Xing to have a look.

The situation of Yao Xing is not bad.

After breaking through to the Tenth Realm, Gu Yao's combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary Tenth Realm cultivator.

She herself is still a Tenth Grade Formation Master.

Even if two or three Tenth Realm cultivators come, she can block them.

In the way of formations, many Tenth Realm cultivators have some exposure to it.

But few are proficient.

Simple formations are easy to talk about; the more profound the formation, the greater the difficulty.

Gu Yao used to be a Red Dust Immortal; her formation attainment previously only reached Ninth Grade, and only after reincarnation did she directly break through to Tenth Grade.

Just speaking of it, a Tenth Grade defensive formation alone is enough to last until the effect of the Chaos Stone ends.

The effect of using this Chaos Stone is somewhat similar to Lu Xun's Chaos Power.

That is, it is not suppressed by Spirit Stars.

However, the Chaos Stone's duration is too short.

Unlike Lu Xun, when his Chaos Power is unleashed, he will not be suppressed by any Spirit Star.

A few months after this battle,

In the starry sky, in a huge city formed from many star fragments, Lu Xun arrived here.

「Wow, Lu Xun, is this Heavenly Ox City? It's huge! 」

Chu Youqing exclaimed.

Such a big city, she had never seen before.

This Heavenly Ox City is composed of dozens of star fragments; the distance between these fragments is close, and there are many huge buildings on the fragments.

「Shuyue Sister, these fragments are Spirit Star fragments, right? 」

Fu Yue made a discovery and asked Yun Shuyue.

This time Lu Xun brought quite a few people.

Besides his own women, many strongers from Lan Xing also came.

「Well, all the star fragments in Heavenly Ox City are broken Spirit Star fragments; some were shattered by Star Hunters, and some were salvaged by them from previous nodes. 」

Yun Shuyue sighed lightly.

「These Spirit Stars... did they all fail to ascend? 」

Her words made Chu Youqing's mood become somewhat heavy.

So many Spirit Star fragments.

It's not hard to imagine how many Spirit Stars failed to ascend before Lan Xing.

Heavenly Ox City is very large.

Lu Xun led everyone all the way into the trading area.

There, various Spirit Stars and peoples of all tribes gathered.

「Have you heard? A Spirit Star called Lan Xing arrived in the Heavenly Ox Realm and wiped out three teams of Ten Realm Pig Hands. 」

Really? Is it that ferocious?

On that Spirit Star there's a person named Lu Xun, simply a monster; he killed all three Tenth Realm cultivators.

This Spirit Star is incredible; it looks like there's hope to reach the next great domain.

Here, the Lan Xing people heard many discussing that previous battle.

Three Tenth Realm cultivators were killed, and three Spirit Star hunter teams were annihilated.

In the Heavenly Ox Domain, that's a big deal.

Tenth Realm cultivators are absolute overlords in the starry sky.

The Heavenly Ox Domain gathers the outstanding from ancient eras, the elites of civilizations across the starry sky.

Here it is extremely prosperous, its prosperity even surpassing many Spirit Stars.

But the Tenth Realm cultivators here are also limited.

These Tenth Realm cultivators mostly choose to hibernate to extend their lifespans.

Only when a Spirit Star arrives or something major occurs do they awaken.

Lu Xun, you've become famous.

Chu Youqing was happy for her boyfriend.

Lu Xun has already made his name known across the starry sky.

In such a prosperous great domain as the Heavenly Ox Domain, he has become renowned.

Really lively, a Spirit Realm without starry alien species is truly great.

Everyone started to stroll around.

The Heavenly Ox Domain is a rare ancient route node where starry alien species have been completely cleared.

Starry alien species are spread throughout the entire universe.

Only here have the gathered strong ones of all races cleared them clean.

In the starry sky, there are not many such great domains.

Other ancient route nodes, even if they have a Tenth Realm cultivator, that cultivator could not possibly clear all alien species clean.

One Spirit Star cannot do it; even ten Spirit Stars combined would find it difficult.

Starry alien species reproduce too quickly.

Only a great domain like the Heavenly Ox Domain, which gathers countless strong ones of many races, can achieve that.

Of course, it's not hopeless without starry alien species; in some regions at the edge of the Heavenly Ox Domain, starry alien species still exist.

Starry alien species have never given up on counterattacking.

Even powerful starry alien species sometimes bring large forces from other ancient route nodes to attack, but such attacks take a long time, often occurring only once every few hundred years.

The Heavenly Ox Domain also has many good things; people from some Spirit Stars will come here to trade.

In the trading area, there are stalls set up by each Spirit Star.

Though called stalls, they are actually huge, covering more area than a city.

Inside there is an enormous variety of goods, all harvested by each Spirit Star at the ancient route nodes.

Once you fancy something, you can purchase it using Dark Energy.

Also, some rare items are not bought with Dark Energy; they require specific items in exchange.

That is relatively difficult to handle.

Lu Xun this time brought many people, specifically for trading.

Just bring the Lan Xing people to broaden their horizons.

Lan Xing will stay in the Heavenly Ox Domain for a considerable time.

As for when to enter the next node.

Then we'll have to wait,

Wait for what?

Naturally, we wait until there are enough Spirit Stars, then set out together.

After the Heavenly Ox Domain, the subsequent starry sky ancient route will become even more difficult to travel.

The later ancient route nodes will become extraordinarily perilous, with many more spatial passages, allowing starry alien species to move freely.

If too few Spirit Stars enter, they will face countless alien species within countless Spirit Realms inside an entire ancient route node.

That would be disastrous.

Therefore, we must have enough Spirit Stars travel together to disperse the pressure.

The exploration time allotted to each Spirit Star will also be reduced.

"Spirit Star Assembly?"

A few months later.

In Heavenly Ox City, a piece of news spread everywhere.

A Spirit Star Assembly will be convened in one year, inviting all Spirit Stars lingering in the Heavenly Ox Domain to participate.

Lan Xing naturally is among them.

Naturally, the one going from Lan Xing is Lu Xun.

"Quite a few."

After Lu Xun arrived at the venue, he found that quite a few people had come to participate, with each Spirit Star sending some people.

The people from Yao Xing and Astra likewise came.

Besides that, there were also some other alien races.

All the Spirit Stars together added up to about eight.

Among them, there is one insect star.

The insect star that came to participate in the Spirit Star Assembly is a white insect; this guy looks especially bloated, with no combat ability at all.

But its brain is the strongest among the insect tribe.

This is the insect tribe's wise insect.

"Eight spirit stars... should be able to set off, everyone is smart, I won't waste words, this agreement, what do you all think?"

A Tenth Realm with a single horn on its head stepped forward and handed everyone an agreement.

The agreement is a light-cluster image, not text; it amounts to spiritual communication.

Lu Xun took a look; the agreement's content is very simple.

Everyone will enter the next ancient road node together; in the ancient road node, everyone competes normally, and it's normal for strong ones of each tribe to fight, but everyone should try to restrain themselves to avoid large-scale war between spirit stars.

"What use is this agreement? I can tear up a hundred copies in one second."

A demon tribesman scoffed.

This guy comes from another demon star.

That demon star is considerably stronger than the one destroyed by Lan Xing, and it is already a second-class spirit star.

Of course, the demon star that originally accompanied Lan Xing, if it hadn't been destroyed and had smoothly reached the Heavenly Ox Domain, would now also be a second-class spirit star.

According to the normal trajectory, Lan Xing's arrival at the Heavenly Ox Domain would take eighty to about a hundred years.

But after Lu Xun appeared, it was shortened to less than twenty years.

Indeed, each tribe's spirit stars are not just one.

For example, among these eight spirit stars, Lu Xun also saw other humans.

They should come from another spirit star that has humans.

I don't know which one it is, and what differences their civilization has.

That spirit star was originally ahead of Lan Xing by over a hundred years.

It was merely that Lu Xun forcibly caught up the gap.

"Of course it's useful; this at least is a kind of consensus. As for the rest, after entering the node, everyone should rely on their own means."

"Good!"

Numerous spirit star people reached a consensus.

The people here are all Ninth and Tenth Realm; no need for nonsense, and there are no naive ideas.

Even if we set off together, that doesn't mean we can peacefully coexist.

"You all are people of Lan Xing, right?"

The Spirit Star Assembly ended quickly.

The main point was everyone discussing a time to set off together.

As soon as it ended, another group of humans eagerly came forward.
