Chapter 1339: Mysterious Wasteland Star Sea

Chapter 1339: Xuan Huang Star Sea

Once again, under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Chen and Xiao Ling Wa fled, their escape style as sloppy as ever.

Not long after, a section of the starry sky rumbled with immense pressure, making the entire cosmos tremble.

Bai Yue Sheng Wang had returned, surging with overwhelming killing intent, his eyes bloodshot and teeth gritted in rage, looking as ferocious as a malevolent ghost. Even he had not anticipated that in this star domain, someone would dare to cause chaos on Bai Yue Star, leading to his base being raided while his Bai Yue forces were attacking Yu Ling Star.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators who had been observing from outside Bai Yue Star scattered in all directions. They knew Bai Yue Sheng Wang’s temperament well—if he went berserk, it would unleash a catastrophic bloodbath.

Bai Yue Sheng Wang had no time for these bystanders and shot into Bai Yue Star like a streak of icy divine light.

Following him came a vast wave of Bai Yue Divine Sect experts, pouring into Bai Yue Star like an endless ocean.

However, what they saw was not a radiant and splendid immortal mountain, but a scene of utter devastation and ruins. Blood was everywhere, staining Bai Yue Star red and turning it into a hellish nightmare.

“Damned scoundrels!”

Bai Yue Sheng Wang roared in fury, his voice carrying a pressure like ancient thunder, shaking half the void sky to collapse.

It was a humiliation, an enormous disgrace. The Bai Yue Divine Sect had stood in this star domain for tens of thousands of years without suffering such a loss, and their accumulated treasures from endless ages had been wiped out in a single day.

“Kill!”

Bai Yue Sheng Wang was the first to charge out of Bai Yue Star, heading straight for a certain direction. He didn’t need to ask; he already knew the culprits’ path because many of the stolen treasures bore his divine soul imprint.

The Bai Yue forces followed suit, spreading out like a boundless sea, sweeping across the vast starry sky.

Witnessing the Bai Yue Divine Sect’s massive mobilization, the surrounding onlookers were all shocked, their faces pale with fear. Deploying the full strength of the sect to hunt down the perpetrators showed they were utterly enraged and out of their minds!

Inevitably, some idle cultivators with nothing better to do tagged along, eager to witness another epic spectacle.

After they left, two figures materialized—it was two Zhun Sheng Wang from the Yu Ling family. The sudden retreat of the Bai Yue forces had surprised the Yu Ling family, prompting them to send scouts.

“What in the world is going on?” After examining Bai Yue Star, the two exclaimed in astonishment. They had heard rumors along the way, but seeing it with their own eyes still shocked them, even with their composure.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Xiao Ling Wa were still racing ahead like two streaks of immortal light, their speed reaching its peak.

“They’re chasing us.”

Ye Chen said, while casting Shrinking the Ground into an Inch and glancing back. It was as if he could see through thousands of miles of starry space to the menacing Bai Yue Sheng Wang and his army.

“From what I can tell, we’ve successfully drawn their attention.”

Xiao Ling Wa added, taking a quick look as well.

“This should ease the pressure on the Yu Ling family a lot.”

“The Bai Yue Divine Sect is probably furious and won’t have time to bother with the Yu Ling family.”

Ye Chen said.

“Our antics like this will likely make this star domain anything but peaceful from now on.”

Xiao Ling Wa replied.

Ye Chen just smiled and said no more, increasing his speed. Xiao Ling Wa kept up without falling behind, matching him stride for stride.

Ahead, a brilliant star sea came into view, radiating immortal light and stretching endlessly.

It was like a real ocean, formed from infinite starlight, full of strange and wondrous sights, with vast waves. Vaguely, various phenomena intertwined, creating a dreamlike illusion that sparked endless imagination.

This was the Xuan Huang Xing Hai, seen by the myriad heavens as a great divide. Crossing this star sea led to the Xuan Huang Continent, the true holy land for cultivators, where countless immortal legends were written.

The two paused at the edge of the Xuan Huang Xing Hai and glanced back before jointly summoning a ship.

They had to work together because the ancient warship was enormous, towering like a mountain.

It was a major treasure, a Sheng-level artifact inscribed with profound restrictions, equipped with defensive barriers and attack formations. They had discovered it while raiding Bai Yue Star and hauled it out.

The Xuan Huang Xing Hai was unlike other star seas; it contained a mysterious force that restrained and suppressed cultivators. Anyone below the Zhun Di level couldn’t fly freely within it. For those below Zhun Di, crossing it required a special warship.

As they spoke, the massive warship descended into the star sea.

The two boarded without delay and began feeding it pieces of source stones.

After absorbing the essence of the source stones, the warship hummed and vibrated, pushing through the star sea and sailing majestically eastward at tremendous speed. Its barriers also activated, enveloping the entire vessel.

“This warship is quite impressive.”

Ye Chen said, stroking his chin and examining it closely, particularly the restrictions on the ship—ancient array patterns that flowed on their own, full of mystery.

“This star sea is quite impressive.”

Xiao Ling Wa was focused on the star sea, even reaching out with a dragon claw to scoop up some water. What slipped through his fingers, however, was radiant starlight accompanied by the sound of waves.

“Taking a bath in this star sea would feel amazing.”

Xiao Ling Wa said.

“What are you thinking? The Xuan Huang Xing Hai isn’t some harmless place.”

Ye Chen replied.

“Looks like you know a lot about this star sea.”

Xiao Ling Wa said, glancing at him with interest.

“In the memories passed down by my father, there are a few scattered fragments.”

Xiao Ling Wa explained.

“Inside, there’s a mysterious force that can bind a cultivator’s powers. If you jump in recklessly, it’s like being an ordinary person in a river—you could drown if you’re not careful. Of course, Zhun Di-level cultivators are the exception.”

“Cultivators getting drowned? That’s pretty damn miraculous.”

Ye Chen said with a sigh.

“Even if you don’t drown, you’d probably exhaust yourself to death. The Xuan Huang Xing Hai is boundless, and with your powers suppressed, without a ship to rescue you, it might take eight hundred years just to swim to the other side.”

Xiao Ling Wa added.

“Pirating on this star sea would be a pretty good gig.”

Ye Chen said.

“There are indeed quite a few bandits in the Xuan Huang Xing Hai who specialize in ship raids—folk call them pirates in the mortal world.”

Xiao Ling Wa glanced around and said.

“We might run into some ourselves.”

“Compared to pirates, I think the ones behind us are more troublesome.”

Ye Chen said, looking back. More than a hundred ancient warships were speeding toward them. The ships varied in size but were arranged in neat formations, each carrying nearly ten thousand figures.

“From the looks of it, the Bai Yue Divine Sect is dead set on finishing us off.”

Xiao Ling Wa said, turning to see the hundreds of warships lined up, their banners flapping fiercely. Each one bore the emblem of a crescent moon, the totem of the Bai Yue Divine Sect.

“After raiding their home base, it’s no surprise they’re going all out.”

Ye Chen said.

“If they’re going all out, so be it. Our ship is a Sheng-level artifact—who’s afraid of whom?”

Xiao Ling Wa replied.

“You maintain the defensive barrier; I’ll handle the attack formations.”

Ye Chen said, climbing to the highest point of the warship, where there was an array platform—or more precisely, a cannon turret. The cannon barrel was three zhang wide, serving as the ship’s attack array cannon, with power rivaling a Void Heaven Extermination Array on land.

“Got it!”

Xiao Ling Wa said, leaping onto another array platform and spitting out over a hundred storage bags, each packed with millions of source stones for sustaining the barrier. Their ship was large, but the enemy had more ships—they couldn’t afford to let it be sunk.

“Don’t forget to steer the ship—don’t just sit there motionless.”

Ye Chen said, while pulling out over a hundred storage bags himself, filled with millions of source stones to power the attack formations.

“Relax, my maneuvering will be slick.”

Xiao Ling Wa grinned and flashed an OK sign.
