Chapter 469: 【Open the door, free trade】 (4000)

Tianyuan City once gave birth to ancient gods, that is, Enlightened Ones. It has always been the holy land of the Eternal Ancient Star. People often say that even if you meet a Great Sage in Tianyuan City, it is not a strange thing.

On one side are technology buildings and spaceships, and on the other are vast palaces and primordial Emperor palaces. Technology and civilization intersect here, building supreme Dao fruits, glorious for a million years.

However, glory eventually has an end. There is no immortal orthodoxy, nor an immortal divine dynasty.

The sentry stations outside the domain transmit intelligence at the speed of light, projecting the scenes in the universe into Tianyuan City.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Hurry and invite Sage King Saint Luanfeng..."

In a supreme astronomical observatory, a Sage activated the alarm. It was the highest-level extermination signal, the sound resounding through the Eternal Ancient Star, and even transmitting the request for help to the other three secondary stars—Xianyu, Shimo Star, and Shentu—making all the royal clans ready for a great battle.

"One hundred thousand years ago, we were glorious, creating an unprecedented prosperous age, which could be called a god-level civilization of the universe, and possibly even a third ancient god appeared. But it flourished and then declined, and the Eternal essence transformed into ghost ships, interrupting the progress of civilization's rise."

"All the Sages who went to explore the ghost ships disappeared. All technology and holy weapons were useless. The ghost ship became a synonym for nightmare and death."

"Now... death is sailing toward us."

Sages from all over the Eternal Star observed the outside of the domain through the star network, revealing looks of horror one after another. Experts from the other three affiliated stars also projected into a conference room in Tianyuan City through special technological means.

The invincible fleet of Eternal one hundred thousand years ago, now turning back to attack Eternal, was definitely not the return of the former clansmen to their hometown. No one could live that long.

Four Great Sage mother ships hovered in the air, like a giant rock, heavy, pressing everyone until they could not breathe.

Unless the ancient gods were resurrected, otherwise, today was destined to be a great catastrophe.

"Do not panic. Our Eternal is a god-level civilization of the universe. How could we have no foundation?"

"The Great Sage Legion of the past fell because they were fighting on the away field. Today, the ghost ship is invading, which does not mean that Eternal will come to an end."

"Sages of all clans, put on your mecha immortal clothes, drive Sage-level warships, and follow me to fight outside the heavens!"

Sage Saint Luanfeng shouted. As the contemporary Heavenly King, he was an amazing expert who had risen in the past thousand years, only one step away from the legendary Great Sage, and was one of the current surface rulers of the Eternal Ancient Star.

His prestige was extremely high, and even his disciples had become Sages. In an instant, he stabilized the situation, making the Sages silent.

"Our Eternal Kingdom is immortal for ages. We once went on expeditions to major star fields. Even during the most difficult periods, facing ancient gods, we were not exterminated."

Another half-step Great Sage, Miluo, spoke to comfort them and revealed some secrets: "Although the Great Sage mother ships are powerful, our Eternal still has true Great Sages."

"Not long ago, that Great Sage Huntuo who came from outside the domain wanted to conquer our star field with empty words, but he was also repelled by our Eternal Great Sage."

The words of the two Eternal supreme experts injected a shot of adrenaline into the Eternal Sages, allowing them to regain their confidence and recall the glory of the past tens of thousands of years.

They were a proud race with a glorious history. Even if a Great Sage invaded, they would have no fear.

"Eternal cultivators, why fear a battle!"

A Sage King shouted, putting on an ancestral Great Sage mecha, like a divine garment fitting his body. This was a combination of Dao runes and technology, ringing the nine heavens in the attainments of external objects, and even vaguely on par with the Weapon-Controlling Secret.

In the Beidou star field, even if a Dao-slashing expert held a holy weapon, when facing a Sage, they could at most contend for a few moves. If they did not run away, they would only die in the end.

But in Eternal, driving a Sage-level warship was truly like a Sage attacking, invincible, sweeping the world, and capable of fighting Ancient Sages.

When a Sage King put on a Great Sage mecha, he could almost compete with a genuine Great Sage, and for Sages of the same level, it was easy to crush and kill.

Technological civilization allowed invincibility at the same level to change from the exclusive property of heaven's pride to technological war soldiers that everyone could master.

"Four mother ships, what about an invincible legion? Today's people should surpass the ancients!"

Another contemporary Sage of Eternal shouted, wearing battle armor, driving a spaceship, and flying toward the starry sky to defend against the enemy. One after another, Sages responded, realizing that this catastrophe could not be avoided by anyone, so they simply fought once.

"Do not hold back, activate all weapons!"

The mighty cosmic warships took off, like meteors crossing the sky, Sage power surging, various war weapons activated, and countless satellites circulated brilliance.

The planets orbiting Eternal were all war fortresses, "island chains" of defense laid down tens of thousands of years ago, possessing the ability to attack.

In Tianyuan City, in the star network connecting all places, countless Eternal citizens learned the truth of the incoming enemies outside the domain. They prayed silently in place, called out at the high towers, praying for Heaven to protect their Eternal race's Sages to return victoriously. There were even newborn calves not afraid of tigers who wanted to drive spaceships to participate in the battle outside the heavens.

Because of the existence of the star network, the Eternal Ancient Star Domain was united, and morale was boosted to the extreme.

But the Tianhe Water Fleet remained calm, everyone watching this scene indifferently, patiently waiting for all the layouts of the Eternal Ancient Star to be activated.

Finally, the Great Sage of the Golden race stepped out, his expression cold, holding the Golden Mace, and the violent aura vented out, capable of killing gods and immortals, and a full-strength blow could explode planets!

"Divine battle weapon!!!"

The Sages of the Eternal Star Domain exclaimed, their faces turning ugly to the extreme. Not only were there mother ships and Great Sages, but Extreme Dao weapons were also invading.

If things went wrong, this battle would not only exterminate the race, but even the life planet would be destroyed.

"If morale were useful, what would we cultivators cultivate, what Dao would we attain?"

Great Sage Ganlun said indifferently, his physical body blooming with wisps of immortal light, illuminating the star fields in all directions. Those war planet fortresses exploded instantly, and gorgeous firelight filled the entire universe, like fireworks.

The defensive works cast by the Eternal Star Domain over many years were destroyed, and the first line of the battlefield vanished like this.

"Another Great Sage..."

The cultivators of the Eternal Star Domain felt their mood sink to the bottom. The war works cast over millions of years were destroyed, and the gate of the Eternal Star Domain was completely blown open by strong ships and cannons!

"You actually insulted Fellow Daoist Huntuo. Our Ancient race has come to ask for an explanation."

Another Ancient race Great Sage walked out and shouted, "Eternal cultivators, give this King an explanation!"

"Not respecting the Heavenly Court's decree, you are seeking your own death."

The calm voice of the Heavenly Court Great Sage echoed in the Eternal Ancient Star Domain, like a god speaking, looking down at the myriad heavens and domains: "Are you willing to surrender?!"

Immediately after, several more Great Sages appeared, fully seven of them. This was just the tip of the iceberg of the Heavenly Court's forces.

Four Great Sage mother ships were just an appetizer, just the beginning of despair.

Seven invincible Great Sages—in the most glorious moment of Eternal one hundred thousand years ago, there was only such power.

"How is it possible!"

"Seven Great Sages, this must be an illusion, it must be an illusion!"

The cultivators and mortals of the Eternal Ancient Star Domain, seeing this scene outside the heavens through the star network, suddenly felt cold all over, unable to believe it, intuitively feeling that the end was coming.

Four Great Sage mother ships lined up, the mighty Tianhe Water Fleet surrounded the entire star domain, and seven Great Sages reigned over the world. How could such strength be fought?

Even if the Eternal Ancient Star had Great Sage mechas passed down through generations and invincible Great Sage warships, they could not withstand so many people.

"What are you afraid of!"

Heavenly King Saint Luanfeng shouted angrily, "Their Great Sage mother ships are more than ours, so should we retreat?"

"Their cultivators are stronger than ours, so should we surrender?"

"Do our Eternal cultivators only know how to bully the weak and dare not raise their swords against the stronger?!"

"They invaded our home, so should we not resist?!"

The void was silent. The Sages who had originally retreated stopped their pace and did not use the star gate to escape.

"We have nowhere to retreat. Behind us is the Eternal Mother Star."

Sage King Miluo said in a deep voice, wearing Great Sage battle clothes, using the weak to attack the strong, actually taking the initiative to meet them, and roared, "Our race once resisted ancient gods and eventually survived. A few Great Sages cannot exterminate our Eternal!"

In the star network, countless cultivators cast admiring gazes, shouting Miluo's name. He became an idol in the hearts of young Eternal cultivators.

But the Ancient Sages on the starry sky battlefield still had solemn expressions. A half-step Great Sage wearing a Great Sage mecha could indeed contend with a Great Sage, but that referred to a primary Great Sage of the first or second level.

And the seven Great Sages on the Tianhe Water Fleet were all at the peak, reaching the Ninth Level realm, and even some Great Sages had hope of reaching the Quasi-Emperor path.

"Using external objects, just a small path."

Great Sage Yanqi of the Fire Qilin Cave said indifferently, a gorgeous and brilliant Extreme Dao weapon appearing in his palm—the Qilin Staff cast from Eternal Blue Gold. With just one strike, supreme Emperor power erupted, like a star river pouring down, boundless, crushing one star after another, unstoppable.

In terms of cultivation, Great Sage Yanqi was above Sage King Miluo. In terms of weapons, the Qilin Staff far exceeded the Great Sage battle armor.

In this strike, Miluo would surely die. All he could do was leave a breath for the Eternal Ancient Star, burying a spark in the hearts of millions of Eternal cultivators, so that they would not be desperate.

"Is it worth it?"

Great Sage Huntuo sighed. Even if the Eternal cultivators injured him, this old good man still did not want to set off a monstrous blood catastrophe.

"There will naturally be those who come after!"

Heavenly King Miluo roared, regardless of his own safety, ready to die, wanting to bloom a brilliant immortal flower with his life.

Great Sage Yanqi's expression was cold, wanting to kill. I don't know why, but since coming to this star field, he had felt uncomfortable all over. A cultivator's intuition was never wrong, and he really did not like this planet.

"Too bullying!"

Just as Heavenly King Miluo was about to fall, the Eternal Ancient Star Domain also erupted with Extreme Dao divine power, as if a dormant war immortal had been resurrected, directly hitting the outer starry sky, colliding with the Qilin Staff.

Eternal had produced two Supremes. The Emperor weapon of the Eternal Great Emperor was broken by the Wu Shi Great Emperor, but there was still a Daoyan Immortal Garment.

"It is the Divine Battle Armor cast from Dao-Robbing Gold!"

Cultivators all over Eternal exclaimed. They gathered on the star network, crying with joy. When the Heavenly King was about to fall, the legendary divine immortal clothes took action, turning the tide and changing the battlefield situation.

These immortal clothes had been lost for I don't know how many years. The Eternal Ancient Star had never had news of Daoyan's descendants, so even now, the descendants of the Eternal Great Emperor were still respected.

But with the birth of this Emperor weapon, the pattern of Eternal would be completely rewritten.

The Daoyan Immortal Garment was both offensive and defensive. The gray-haired Great Sage wore the battle armor. Between his gestures, there was an aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. Dozens of immortal swords were born behind him, as brilliant as Dao-Robbing Gold, all slashing down together.

Great Sage Yanqi was also boiling with fighting spirit, holding the Qilin Emperor Staff, his whole body dyed crystal blue, killing intent rolling through the universe, causing the sun, moon, and stars to lose their color, and fighting energy surging.

Two Great Sages holding Emperor weapons fought to the edge of the star domain, Emperor energy circulating, tearing the void, and the stars were all worn away!

"Your physical body is very powerful, not like an Eternal cultivator, just relying on external weapons."

Great Sage Yanqi fought and became more and more shocked, finding that he could not suppress the opponent, and even because of the defensive power of the Daoyan Immortal Garment, the gray-haired Great Sage was even better.

"Who says the way of external weapons cannot reach the heavens? In the Mythological Era, a Heavenly Venerate created the Weapon-Controlling Secret, and our Eternal has two Emperors who attained the Dao!"

"You say we Eternal cultivators use external objects, then the immortal pills you refine, the spiritual energy you absorb, and the flesh and blood you eat—are they not external objects?"

"If one day, spiritual energy is cut off and the Dao does not exist, what is the difference between Eternal cultivators and Beidou cultivators!"

"Living beings in this great universe, who does not rely on external objects to survive and cultivate? Where is the distinction between high and low?"

The gray-clothed Great Sage smiled indifferently, but his eyes became more and more brilliant, as if a Primordial Spirit jumped out, hiding a golden roar, sonorously saying: "Originally there was nothing!"

"Not good, this person is about to take his own Quasi-Emperor path!"

Great Sage Ganlun was suddenly shocked, looking at the gray-clothed Great Sage, feeling more and more that his state was very similar to his father, the previous patriarch who died after taking a big move from the Human Demon.

"Why talk nonsense with them? We are here to conquer, not to discuss the Dao."

The Golden Great Sage said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Yanqi, I will help you!"

In an instant, two Emperor weapons suppressed Eternal, and the Myriad Daos trembled because of it. The gray-haired Great Sage's pressure suddenly increased, roaring, growling, and fighting with the three Great Sages.

If not for the Daoyan Immortal Garment being both offensive and defensive, he would have been beaten to pieces long ago.

"Three Great Sages, two Emperor weapons besieging one Great Sage—why does this script look so familiar?"

Lin Xian's eyelids jumped. It wouldn't really let the gray-haired Great Sage turn the tables and break through in life and death, would it? That would be a big joke.

"Extreme Dao Emperor weapons forward 50,000 meters!"

Lin Xian took a deep breath, dropping the command, telling the other Great Sages not to just watch, but to go up and help.

In an instant, the Wanlong Bell swayed, blooming with ten thousand zhang of purple light, the Phoenix-Wing Gilded Halberd, like a phoenix ringing, roaming the universe... two more Extreme Dao weapons pressed down together, shocking the universe.

"Is Heaven going to exterminate our Eternal?"

The gray-haired Great Sage roared to the sky, covered in blood. Even if the Daoyan Immortal Garment could protect him, he could not withstand such turbulence.

In the star network, countless cultivators prayed, the power of belief rushing to the sky, forming a vast echo of thoughts, surging in the universe: "Great Sage, please don't lose, must protect our home."

"Ancient gods, please be resurrected, save our Eternal Star Domain..."

"Where is the Eternal Great Emperor? I am willing to use my life to pray for your manifestation!"

"Daoyan Great Emperor, please open your eyes and save your people."
