They were in a barren expanse of space. Apart from shattered meteorites, there was nothing else in sight. There were no corpses or life forms, much less planets.
Due to the lack of light sources, the entire cosmos was pitch-black.
"The Divine Eye civilization is like a swarm of locusts. Any civilization that approaches them … has been plundered countless times." Wang Baole looked around. Even though he had expected this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I guess I'll have to go somewhere further …" Wang Baole muttered to himself. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the donkey was looking at the internal structure of the pseudo Dharmic battleship with sparkling eyes. It even seemed to be licking its lips uncontrollably. A small puddle of saliva had formed …
As for Little Wu, he sat beside the donkey and stared out into space. It seemed to be in a daze, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Ignoring Little Wu, Wang Baole glared at the donkey. He didn't need to say anything. Just the warning in his eyes was enough for the donkey to understand. It lowered its head in grievance and stuck out its tongue to lick back the small puddle of saliva …
Seeing that the donkey knew its place, Wang Baole withdrew his warning glare and formed a series of hand seals. Instantly, all the warships around him gathered and disappeared into his storage bracelet. Only the locust, the pseudo Dharmic battleship, was left behind. It sped off into space.
The teleportation direction he had chosen was different from the one the Holy Crest Sect had chosen. Although Wang Baole was familiar with the Holy Crest Sect's route, he had plundered it before. Therefore, Wang Baole planned to try his luck in a different direction.
Although Wang Baole had a star map of this region, it wasn't very useful. It was more of a guide to Wang Baole as to the limits of the Divine Eye civilization's exploration. After flying for half a month at the speed of the pseudo Dharmic battleship, the star map in Wang Baole's hand was no longer useful when they reached the edge of the area marked on the star map.
Wang Baole perked up and steered the pseudo-Magic warship forward. "The next area isn't recorded by the Divine Eye civilization. Although it's possible that it has been plundered before, the further we go, the less likely it will be plundered."
However … luck didn't seem to favor Wang Baole this time. Even after another half a month, the starry sky was still pitch-black, without a single star to be seen.
This made Wang Baole depressed. The donkey seemed to have sensed Wang Baole's bad mood, so it stopped licking the Dharmic Battleship. Even so, when Wang Baole noticed that the donkey was still drooling uncontrollably, his eyes widened again.
"Little Five!"
"Daddy, I'm here!" Little Five, who had been in a mental trance for a month, shuddered when he heard Wang Baole's words. He quickly stood up and spoke loudly.
"I have a mission for you. Keep an eye on the donkey and make sure it doesn't eat anything!"
Little Five immediately became conflicted when he heard this. During this period of time, he had become well aware of the donkey's unique tastes. From what he understood, there was nothing in the world that the donkey couldn't eat. In fact, Little Five believed that the donkey might even eat itself if it was starving …
He even believed that the donkey would eat his entire Black Earth Empire if it was given the right conditions …
He looked at the donkey, then at Wang Baole. His expression was bitter as he spoke in a low voice.
"Daddy, I can't do anything about Second Master. After all, he's my older brother, so …"
"If he eats a mouthful, I'll eat a mouthful of you!" Wang Baole glared at Little Five savagely. Little Five shuddered when he saw this. He was sure that Wang Baole was capable of doing something like this. Hence, he put on a serious expression and spoke loudly.
"Daddy, don't worry. I'll definitely stop Second Master from doing anything bad!"
Wang Baole snorted and looked away. He didn't pay any attention to Little Five, who was scowling and pleading with the donkey to keep him under control.
Time continued to pass. Wang Baole rode the locust through the pitch-black darkness of space. Like a lonely beast, he traversed one star system after another. Without exception, all of these star systems were completely withered. There were no signs of life, not even ruins.
This boring and blank journey eventually caused Wang Baole to begin to doubt himself. He wondered if he shouldn't waste so much time. Perhaps it would be better to go back and take a different route.
As Wang Baole's doubts grew, the starry sky in front of him began to change. It was no longer pitch-black, but rather a subtle shift in brightness and darkness.
"A shift in brightness and darkness!" Wang Baole perked up at this discovery. If there was light, it meant that there was a star in a certain area. Although Wang Baole didn't know what state the star was in, based on his understanding, as the core of a civilization, there was a high probability that life could be found wherever it was.
This discovery excited Wang Baole. He adjusted the locust's direction and sped toward the direction of the light. This process lasted for a full ten days. As the light intensified, Wang Baole finally saw a huge star in the distance!
This star was even larger than the Divine Eye civilization's star. However, the intensity of its light wasn't as great. It didn't even seem to emit any heat. At a closer look, the star's structure seemed to have changed, as if it had been petrified.
However, because there was still a light source inside the star, the light penetrated the stone walls and spread out, illuminating a region of the starry sky.
When he saw this from afar, Wang Baole's heart raced. Without hesitation, he stopped the locust and waved his right hand, producing a compass.
This compass was a product of the Divine Eye civilization. It could scan the starry sky within a certain range and construct a star map. The Divine Eye civilization cultivators who had invaded the Federation had used similar items to scan the Solar System.
However, the compass in Wang Baole's hand was far more accurate and had a much greater range. It was a must-have item given to the army by the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect.
"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple. Red represents a mighty Eternal Star realm cultivator, orange represents a Planet realm cultivator, bright yellow represents a Spirit Immortal realm cultivator, and pale yellow represents a Mighty Prowess cultivator …" Wang Baole muttered to himself as he activated the compass in his hand. He stared intently at the five stars that had appeared on the compass!
The largest of the five stars was the star that Wang Baole was looking at. Just as Wang Baole had sensed earlier, this star had been mostly fossilized. As for the other four stars in the star system, they were all planets. However, without exception, they had all been fossilized!
The degree of fossilization exceeded that of the star and was basically completely fossilized. Therefore, rather than calling them planets, it would be better to call them … four giant meteorites floating in the starry sky!
As for their color … Apart from the star, which couldn't be scanned, the other four stars were all black. This meant that they didn't have any Spirit Qi fluctuations. Wang Baole couldn't help but frown.
"Could it be another alien civilization that has descended?" As he muttered to himself, Wang Baole steered the locust toward the star system in front of him. At the same time, he circulated his cultivation and fully activated the locust's power. He was prepared to launch a counterattack or accelerate at any time.
Just like that, under Wang Baole's full attention, the locust slowly approached the star system at a moderate speed. When it entered the star system, Wang Baole's expression suddenly flickered, and the locust came to an abrupt halt!
It was because … they had been too far away, so he hadn't been able to get a clear look. Moreover, there seemed to be some sort of mysterious energy that made it difficult for even the compass to scan the star system. Now that they had entered the star system, what entered Wang Baole's eyes was ….
Asura Field!
Countless mangled corpses floated in the starry sky, along with a large amount of warship debris and countless pieces of magical equipment. They floated there, covering the starry sky as far as the eye could see ….
Covering the starry sky!
"What is this place?!" Wang Baole's expression flickered, and his mind grew restless. He could faintly sense a sense of danger pervading this strange star system and enveloping him!
