The five dead stars that were right next to each other looked like five large meteorites in the dark Milky Way.
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes and observed them carefully. Only then was he able to see the shattered stones on the five dead stars. They should have once been piled up into buildings and palaces.
This meant that a long, long time ago, there had been living beings on these five stars.
It was only because they had suffered a destructive blow that the realm barrier had been torn apart and ceased to exist. The living beings had died instantly, and the stars had fallen to such a state.
"What is she doing here?"
Yu Yuan, who had flown out of the dilapidated warship, silently practiced the Fiend Body Refining Art. He intercepted the essence of the chaotic, filthy supernatural power that was everywhere in the starry sky, which was beneficial to his body.
Gradually recovering his strength, he floated in midair and pondered with a frown.
He saw the Blue Luan Empress land on one of the dark brown stars like a beautiful fairy, her body light and graceful.
Suddenly, the dark brown star began to burn with the flames of destruction.
Crack crack crack!
Without a sound, the other four dead stars quietly disintegrated due to Chen Ching-hwang's terrifying power.
In just a few breaths of time, the four dead stars shattered into countless rocks that floated in the dark and strange galaxy.
As Chen Qinghuang stepped on the ground, a sharp low howl gradually sounded.
As soon as the howls rang out, Yu Yuan, who was very far away, felt his thoughts stagnate. The spirit energy and blood in his veins seemed to be infected by the supernatural power, and he had a strange feeling that his soul was no longer in control of them.
His limbs slowly became weak and powerless. A deep sense of exhaustion emerged from the depths of his soul.
He could no longer maintain the Fiend Body Refining Art. The filthy supernatural power that was harmful to his flesh and blood was seeping into his veins, bones, and soul.
His body slowly sank, as if it weighed more than ten thousand kilograms.
Struggling to keep his eyes open, he bit the tip of his tongue hard. After a moment of sobriety, he silently practiced the Great Yin Soul Art.
Then, he heard the curses of banshees howling.
He also saw that after Chen Ching-hwang landed, the dead stars that were burning with the flames of destruction were actually shaking violently.
Countless strange curses that couldn't be seen with the naked eye were formed by soul and blood power.
It was as if there were millions of tiny stars floating within the black flames of destruction, resisting Chen Ching-hwang's power. From time to time, they were crushed and exploded.
A short demoness with disheveled hair strummed the strings of a strange organ in her hand, which was emitting ear-piercing screeches. She was plucking the strings of the instrument amidst the destructive flames.
The banshee's long hair dragged on the ground like a huge carpet, covering more than half of the planet.
She stared at Princess Qing Luan, who was standing motionless on the dead star, with fear and despair in her eyes. Slowly and desperately, she tried to approach her.
During this process, destructive flames continuously entered her body, causing her to burn as well.
The despair in her eyes deepened.
Thousands of curses were burned to ashes by the flames of destruction. Her power was rapidly draining, and she couldn't hold on any longer.
When she was still several hundred meters away from Chen Ching-hwang, she was completely engulfed by the flames of destruction.
Her body, soul, and the strange instrument gradually turned to ashes.
The secret curses and evil arts she had cast were instantly ineffective. The only star that hadn't shattered just now exploded into countless charred stones.
Chen Ching-hwang rose to his feet and flew back to the warship.
The flames of destruction followed her and merged into her body like rivers of fire.
As she brushed past Yu Yuan, she said indifferently, "Let's go back."
"Oh, oh, oh."
Yu Yuan, who had been absent-minded for a while, immediately reacted. When he returned to the cabin, he found that the empress had just closed her eyes and fallen asleep again.
The mantis demon who possessed the Heavenly Star Beast and Elena took the initiative to distance themselves from her.
As if they had a tacit understanding, the mantis demon and Elena didn't say a word or ask for the reason.
Yu Yuan, who was also confused, didn't know why this unpredictable empress had sensed the presence of a banshee, and why she wanted to kill her.
"Keep sailing."
After a while, seeing that Chen Ching-hwang had fallen asleep again, Yu Yuan ordered in a soft voice.
...
"Haisel is dead."
After leaving the main group, the ruler of the Domain of Drag Illusion took out a sparkling, translucent eyeball, infused it with her bloodline, and examined it with rapt attention.
The place where the five dead stars had been turned into a river of meteors, and a charred skeleton that was turning into sand.
"Haisel? The traitor of the banshees? "
Leo, who had been blessed by the stars when he was born, frowned, as if he couldn't be sure. "Is it really Haisel, Geralt? The famous witch of the banshees? "
"You took her in?" Beirut asked curiously.
Geralt was silent for a moment before nodding. "She once helped me. After she had a falling out with her race and was severely wounded, she secretly came to the Domain of Drag Illusion. Yes, I took her in and put her in a desolate place. I made her a rule that she wasn't allowed to wander around. "
After a pause, Geralt added, "All these years, she didn't cause any trouble. She cultivated in seclusion in that place."
He looked up at Beirut and asked, "Great Sage, she was killed by the Immortal Bird. Why?"
Leo was flabbergasted.
"Because Haisel's ancestor participated in the siege against the Immortal Bird a hundred thousand years ago." Beirut clearly knew the inside story, and didn't hide anything. "Haisel's ancestor had a rank ten bloodline a hundred thousand years ago. The banshees were skilled in curses, which slowed down the Immortal Bird's bloodline and soul awareness, weakening her battle prowess."
"Haisel carried her ancestor's aura. The Immortal Bird must have smelled it."
Beirut explained. After a moment of pondering, he asked Geralt, "Before Haisel was severely wounded, her bloodline was at rank nine, and she had a divine tool left behind by her ancestor. After she was severely wounded, the divine tool was severely damaged, and its power was much weaker than before. I heard that her bloodline had plummeted. After such a long time of recovery, what level is she at? "
"At most, I'll recover to the level of a rank nine bloodline. At most," Gerat said cautiously.
Beirut's brow furrowed.
A moment later, he nodded and said, "It's not easy to judge the Immortal Bird's battle prowess. However, if I were to draw a line between Haisel's location and where she first appeared … "
Beirut looked in a direction, and a guess appeared in his mind. His brow relaxed slightly.
"She's leaving the Shadow Illusion Star Region. This is a blessing in disguise!"
… …
Behind the crystal, the mantis demon that possessed the Heavenly Star Beast stretched its enormous body.
Seven streaks of colorful poisonous light shone inside its semi-transparent body. The mantis demon's soul thought spread out, as if it was sensing something.
A long time later.
He turned around, a pleading look appearing in his eyes that burned with seven-colored flames. "There is a small, fragmented world where there are no outsiders, but poisonous insects and beasts."
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes and pondered while holding a spirit stone.
The possessed Heavenly Star Beast crouched down and bowed its head in a docile manner. "I won't dare to offend you again. I've seen the power of the Phaseless Detoxification Water you refined. Also, you've learned the exquisite sword incantation of the Nine Slashes that Raise the Heavens. You can kill me for real. "
He looked as if he had accepted his fate and was willing to submit.
Yu Yuan nodded slightly.
Overjoyed, the mantis demon carefully walked to the cabin. After pushing open the door, it morphed into a streak of dark light and shot out of the cabin.
"He's not going to run away, is he?" Elena asked worriedly.
This mantis demon had been born from the deadly poisons of the Colorful Clouds Miasma Sea. After his Abyss Devil soul had naturally merged with all kinds of deadly poisons, he had formed a strange body that could attach itself to any living being.
Once he was free, Geralt would have a hard time dealing with the living beings of the Shadow Illusion Star Region.
In Elena's mind, the ruler of this domain was her uncle Geralt, who had taken care of her a lot. She didn't want anything to happen to the Shadow Illusion Star Region.
"I'll go take a look."
Yu Yuan's expression didn't change. With these words, he flew out of the cabin.
Elena and Chen Ching-hwang were the only ones left on the dilapidated starship. The Asura girl looked at Chen Ching-hwang, who was sleeping soundly, her eyes filled with bitterness and fear.
For some reason, she didn't feel safe at all after Yu Yuan left.
Whenever she thought of the sleeping beauty, who was the Immortal Bird that had destroyed so many domains a hundred thousand years ago, her legs would go weak. She even felt exhausted standing up.
There was a dilapidated land under the broken realm barrier. All that could be seen were dried up rivers and broken cliffs.
In a realm that was relatively far away from the rift in the realm barrier, there was a realm that still had plants, as well as a small number of insects and spirit beasts that had mutated but hadn't died yet.
Yu Yuan, who had entered this small heaven and earth through the rift in the realm barrier, sensed with his nether soul, and sensed that the mantis demon that had possessed the Heavenly Star Beast was eating the insects and spirit beasts.
The insects and spirit beasts that didn't have any intelligence and only knew how to fight for survival instinctively had their blood poisoned after being tainted.
What the mantis demon craved was that tiny bit of deadly poison.
The low-level insects and exotic beasts that weren't worth looking at were quickly devoured clean. The plants in the area were also gradually mutating, and there was no longer any sound coming from them.
Soon, the mantis demon that had possessed the Heavenly Star Beast flew over while shaking its head.
Its strange eyes looked up at the dilapidated starship anchored high in the sky. After hesitating for a while, it suddenly said, "You should leave her."
It didn't mention a name, but Yu Yuan instantly knew that the mantis demon was talking about Chen Ching-hwang.
Yu Yuan signaled for the mantis demon to continue speaking.
"Go underground."
The mantis demon turned around and dug its head into the ground. It pierced through the hard rock and soon went a hundred meters underground.
Yu Yuan easily followed it all the way to the underground. Looking at the cautious mantis demon, he said indifferently, "Tell me what you think. If you want to try my methods again, that's fine."
"No, I don't dare. I don't want to try anymore."
The mantis demon shook its head. It was silent for a while to organize its thoughts. Then, it said, "The 'Blood Prison' of Gendo that you control, and the Dragon Beheading Platform that you brought out of Haoran, are actually her delicacies in a sense. Especially the Dragon Beheading Platform. There are many dragon corpses in it, and there is even a level ten Dragon God!
"She's the Immortal Bird, a Star Behemoth. The nature and instinct of this race is to find powerful beings to eat.
"She may use the Dragon Beheading Platform and the 'Blood Prison' of Gendo that you control in the next moment to awaken and transform herself!"
