Chapter 69: Explosion

In the starry sky beyond the dark‑red ancient star, countless spacecraft of all kinds gather increasingly.

As conflicts keep erupting, teams whose strength far exceeds ordinary adventurers gradually become apparent.

The Kahuns Adventure Team, the Kandal Family Exploration Team, the Newman Trade Fleet.

Powerful squads are marked as untouchable.

Around these squads a void of empty space, almost no other adventurer ships are seen.

They themselves easily dominate vast stretches of the starry sky.

The reason they inspire such dread is that every one of these squads has a Universe‑level powerhouse stationed.

If planetary‑level and Stellar‑level can barely survive in the universe, a Universe‑level powerhouse can roam the heavens with a mere mortal body.

Before a Universe‑level powerhouse, an ordinary Stellar‑level being is like a child who has not yet grown up.

A single Universe‑level powerhouse can effortlessly sweep away swaths of Stellar‑level eighth and ninth orders.

A full‑force strike can even pierce a small planet outright!

Under normal circumstances even a Galaxy may not produce a single Universe‑level powerhouse, underscoring how mighty and rare they are!

When the Universe‑level powerhouses in these squads slightly reveal their aura, the surrounding ordinary adventurer squads naturally keep their distance at once.

After all, everyone isn't stupid; staying beside a Universe‑level powerhouse means that even if treasure appears, it won't reach their hands.

"Those Universe‑level squads are really impressive!"

In the silver‑gray ship sandwiched between the two shuttle‑shaped vessels, Zhou Yang and the others chat leisurely.

"Did you notice just now that a team got too close to the Kahuns Adventure Team and got scolded outright?"

Lei Shen, touching his bald head, wore a face full of sighs,

"I'd previously noted that that team had at least three Stellar‑level ninth‑order powerhouses; after being scolded, they didn't even retort, just slunk away in disgrace."

Hearing him, the other few aboard the ship fell silent as well.

During this time, they have come to see how crucial strength is in the universe.

Even Stellar‑level eighth‑ and ninth‑order beings can be casually rebuked, humiliated, and not even dare utter a harsh word.

What about the weaker Earth humans? In the eyes of those Universe‑level beings, they're probably not even worth an ant.

"We must get stronger, we must become stronger as soon as possible!"

The urgency to become stronger tightened in each of their hearts!

In the dark‑red starry sky, countless ships wait silently.

Finally, on this day, it felt like a warm breeze brushed by.

Immediately, a dazzling brilliance erupted on the massive Taiyu Star!

"Boom—"

Like the roar of a mountain flood, the sound rang in everyone's ears; dense dark‑red mist surged like waves from the ancient star, wave after wave, and in the blink of an eye swept the entire sky!

Everyone swept by this wave‑like red mist felt as if some shackles inside their bodies were unlocked.

Every cell, every strand of gene activity surged rapidly, and a faint hunger rose within them.

Instinctively they activated their cultivation method, greedily devouring the surging red mist.

As this energy entered their bodies, their bodily functions and vitality skyrocketed.

The speed of that enhancement was more than ten times faster than ordinary cultivation!

Some who were already stuck at the peak of their realm, when hit by this red mist, directly broke through the barrier!

Moreover, as the wave‑like red mist kept exploding, many items were brought forth!

Fist‑sized red crystals, tattered yet rune‑etched scale armor, and silvery‑white ore.

In the direction where these items appeared, battles erupted one after another!

"A complete Blood Soul Crystal, perfect!"

"The Transmutation Stone is mine, nobody take it!"

"Get out, this is the Weston Family's territory!"

"."

One by one, powerful Stellar‑level adventurers burst from their ships, clashing swiftly across the sky, with intense booming sounds constantly echoing.

"This energy… is strong, feels purer than the energy of the Wood Boy Crystal!"

In the silver‑gray ship, Zhou Yang and his three companions widened their eyes.

They felt that under the red mist's shroud, their bodily strength was soaring rapidly.

Lei Shen, who had just advanced to the first tier of Stellar‑level, even sensed a faint hint of another breakthrough.

Among the four, the most shocked was Luo Feng.

Because at this moment, he was more than just a body!

In the instant the dark‑red mist tide swept over, he felt a strong yearning from the Golden Horned Beast doppelganger within the Primordial Core.

It was like a starving person seeing a banquet of delicacies; the urgent craving threatened to drown his reason.

"Yangzi, I have a problem here; something may cause a stir soon!"

Luo Feng quickly sent a voice transmission to Zhou Yang explaining his situation.

"Oh?"

After hearing Luo Feng's transmission, Zhou Yang's heart twitched slightly.

The Golden Horned Beast doppelganger of Luo Feng reacts strongly to this red mist? Could the legend be true?

Is the Soul River Secret Realm truly a powerful being burning itself, and does that being also have a link with the starry‑sky beasts?

"Forget it, never mind, first secure the benefits!"

He weighed it in his mind briefly, then made up his mind.

Most of those gathered near Taiyu Star were Stellar Level; only a few teams had Universe Level existences among them.

Moreover, everyone was busy scrambling for treasures, so likely no one would pay attention to their side.

"It's fine, just Swallow with full force. Everything is focused on raising your strength."

He sent a voice transmission back to Luo Feng, and at the same time ordered Babata to open the spaceship's cabin door.

The next moment, an invisible ripple spread out from Luo Feng's body, and immediately after, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The red mist around the silver-gray spaceship, like stirred cloud layers, violently churned and billowed, then rapidly surged toward the opened cabin door of the spaceship, pouring in!

Faintly, a giant vortex of mist began to take shape around the silver-gray spaceship.

"What happened!"

This enormous commotion instantly drew the attention of many people nearby.

In particular, two black shuttle-shaped spaceships that had originally been hovering almost right beside the silver-gray spaceship were now directly swallowed into that giant vortex of mist.

Inside the black shuttle spaceships, over a dozen humans with four eyes and blue feathers covering their heads all turned extremely ugly in their expressions at this moment.

Because they could feel that, under the pull of that giant vortex, the surrounding red mist was rapidly draining away — they could barely absorb even the tiniest trace of energy!

"It's those people — they actually dare to provoke us!"

Among this group, a Black Armor man with a vicious scar on his forehead and a build noticeably a size larger than the others slammed his fist hard against the table in front of him.

They came from a powerful planet in the Heilongshan Star Region called Longtan Star.

On their planet, Universe Level experts alone numbered more than five.

This time, their two exploration teams had been operating near the Soul River Secret Realm and happened to encounter the once-in-a-millennium eruption of the Soul River Tide, so they came to try their luck.

They had learned the patterns of this Soul River Tide eruption in advance.

They had originally thought that, with the strength of their two captains at Heng Star Level Ninth Order and the reputation of the Barob Adventuring Team from Longtan Star, they could claim a sizable "territory" near Taiyu Star and had a very high probability of seizing several treasures.

Who would have known that when they were "staking their ground" earlier, they actually ran into a tough crowd who gave their Barob Adventuring Team no face at all!

It would have been one thing if the other party belonged to some powerful faction.

But through the earlier communication link, he discovered that those people's appearances didn't belong to any famous race at all.

And now, this group actually dared to provoke them, using some unknown method to divert all the red mist energy from their surroundings.

The fury in these Longtan Star people's hearts could no longer be contained!

"Captain Tie Long, their spaceship's cabin door has opened!"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed member noticed this scene.

"Hmm, the cabin door opened?"

That Captain Tie Long's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked outside!

When he saw that the silver-gray spaceship had actually opened its cabin door to attract more red mist, a vicious smile immediately surfaced on his face.

"Hehe, brothers, the little kids have opened their door to welcome guests — let's go pay them a proper visit!"
