In the ice-cold starry sky, there was a vast expanse of darkness. It was boundless, majestic, and magnificent, carrying with it a boundless pressure. It approached from afar, making even the saints' faces turn snow-white.
The universe was extremely vast, boundless without end. Even if humans could travel across it, they could only move about in a limited area for their entire lives.
In the face of this unknown dark sky, they were too insignificant and insignificant. It was almost impossible to encounter anything in the star domain, and loneliness was the eternal theme.
However, today, this norm was broken. What they saw was extremely shocking, and when they woke up, they felt a chill from head to toe.
Their mothership fleet was enormous and majestic, but at this time, compared to the large steel forest on the other side, they seemed very weak and insignificant.
That was a huge fleet, and every ship was incomparably vast. The smallest was thousands of zhang in length, while the largest was tens of thousands of zhang in length. They stretched across the sky, densely packed and covering the heavens and earth!
After drifting through the cosmos for who knew how many years, they had long since been engraved with the long river of time. However, time was still immortal, existing since ancient times.
"It's really … them!" Even the ancient saint's voice was trembling.
The ice-cold fleet was even more majestic and magnificent than their mothership fleet, stretching as far as the eye could see. This was an invincible overlord that could sweep through the cosmos!
Even though most of the battleships were already dim and the luster wasn't as bright as before, that kind of dignity and grandeur was still there. In particular, the immortal great dao traces hadn't faded and were still flowing, emitting a supreme divine might that could suppress the nine heavens and ten earths.
This was eternal glory, the crystallization of a peak era's civilization. They had once swept through the six directions and eight desolates, reigning supreme in the cosmos they could reach. Wherever their war flag pointed, all would submit.
However, even now, they no longer had a trace of life fluctuations and became lifeless. At a glance, it was like an ancient tomb.
This was a type of desolation, and even more so a type of desolation. All of the glory, all of the past, had been buried in the dust of history, drifting alone through the cosmos.
This was a group of incomparably terrifying ghost ships. After all these endless years, people's expressions changed at the mention of these ships. When facing them, it was like facing death gods, like evil spirits that had broken free from their shackles in hell.
A hundred thousand years ago, their brilliance was boundless, creating an unprecedented flourishing age. That was a great era of prosperity, illuminating the world with an unrivaled divine splendor!
However, as they came to an end and reappeared after a period of time, they became synonyms for death and fear, shocking the entire universe.
No one knew what had happened. After an expedition into the depths of the universe, the once invincible fleet set foot on a path of no return, and when it reappeared, it became a ghost ship.
This was a nightmare. The invincible Radiant had transformed into the Shadow of Death. The first mothership fleet that discovered them rushed over to take a look. In the end, they became the followers of the Grim Reaper and became a part of it.
Because of this, the Ancient Sages of the Eternal Lord Star were alarmed. In the end, 11 Ancient Sages went, but none of them returned!
After a long time, when people saw them again, they discovered that the warships of the 11 Sages had also become part of them.
And at that time, as long as 20,000 years had passed, people felt that the dangerous period had passed. Even if there had been a terrifying entity in the fleet in the past, it should have long since left, and the mystery could be unraveled.
However, the nightmare continued, and the terrifying past repeated itself. The four Ancient Sages boarded this fleet, and without a sound, they disappeared with them into the depths of the dark universe, never to return.
50,000 years later, it appeared again. There was no end, no beginning, and it was unknown where it was heading, moving forward aimlessly in the void universe.
At that time, after the various hegemons of the Eternal Lord Star learned of this, they sent 10 Sages together to block their way in the cold universe and enter deep into the fleet.
However, the nightmare continued, and it did not end!
The 10 Sages all disappeared, just like their predecessors, never to return.
At that time, the people of the Eternal Lord Star were anxious and mobilized a large number of destructive weapons. They were unwilling to reveal the strange and terrifying truth, and launched an attack that could destroy a star field.
It was a scene that made people's hair stand on end. The light beams that could destroy planets, suns, and many other celestial bodies were of no use at all.
These ghost ships floated tirelessly without a beginning or an end. All the divine items of the Great Path and the Divine Light were useless against them. On the contrary, a strange wave spread out, and the motherships that participated in the attack were all turned into dust, turning into cosmic dust. No one escaped.
The terrifying past terrified the people of the Eternal Lord Star. In the past 100,000 years, they had ventured deep into the universe to mine, and they had encountered them 14 times. They appeared in different star fields, separated by who knew how many galaxies. It was hard to imagine how they had arrived.
The last time they met was 40,000 years ago, in a remote galaxy that was unimaginably far away. Since then, they had never appeared again, and people thought that they had disappeared in the desolate frontier of the universe.
Who would have thought that the ancient Specter Ship would appear again!
Just like in the past, their silence had never changed in the past 100,000 years. They were lifeless, and the living avoided them.
"Get out of the way, make way for them!" Fear spread, and even the saints had ugly expressions. It was this terrifying fleet of ghost ships that had silently swallowed their ancestors.
No one could stop them. Even now, they would not forget the tragedy of the past. Unless the ancient gods were resurrected, they would only die a tragic death if they went up.
This was a cold steel jungle, but also a graveyard of death. It could bury ancient saints and devour all the strong.
"100,000 years ago, that was the peak of glory. What did the strong who went on the expedition encounter? Why did it become like this?"
This was the question on everyone's mind, but no one could answer it since ancient times.
Even where they were going and what they wanted to conquer, no one could find out, because they did not leave behind any clues. This invincible fleet had quietly traveled far away.
"Could it be … 100,000 years have passed, and we still can't uncover the truth? After such a long time, maybe there is nothing there anymore."
The younger generation was too far away from that period. Some hot-blooded youths could not resist the curiosity in their hearts, and wanted to be the exploration heroes that tore apart the fog.
"Kill anyone who dares to act recklessly!"
The ancient saint personally gave the order. The more powerful one was, the heavier their heart felt. How many ancient saints had fallen back then? There was no lack of outstanding figures among them.
The ten saints from 50,000 years ago had boarded with the mentality that the past had long passed, and that everything had been smoothed over with time. In the end, they were all annihilated!
"Just how powerful was this fleet back then? Looking at the scale, it is truly vast and magnificent to the extreme. Could it be that they had gathered all the strength of the former Eternal Lord Star?" Some nobles could not help but feel their hearts palpitate and ask this question.
This fleet was truly too magnificent. It was like a dark cloud covering all directions, so heavy that it was difficult to breathe. Among them, there were four giant ships that were at least 200,000 zhang long, much grander than the motherships of the present day. They were densely packed at the center of the fleet.
If these ghost ships that had existed since the ancient times were giants, then this fleet of expeditionary ships was only a dwarf. They could not be compared at all.
"Back then, our Eternal Lord Star was truly glorious. Perhaps extreme prosperity leads to decline, and even the heavens could not bear to see it continue."
An ancient saint looked at the four giant ships with a pale face. He spoke of some ancient past events, causing people to inhale a breath of cold air.
In that era, the Eternal Kingdom had indeed reached an extremely powerful flourishing age. It was already very glorious for an ancient star to produce three Great Sage in an era. However, 100,000 years ago, the people of this star field achieved a breakthrough and broke the norm.
No one knew whether it was seven Great Sage, or a few more could be added. In short, it was world-shaking and had reached a shocking level.
People said that if there were no accidents, a god might have been born in that era! In the end … their wishes were not fulfilled.
That expedition was led by the four Great Sages. In the center of the ghost ships that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, the four magnificent motherships that were two hundred thousand feet long were the exclusive holy ships of the Great Sages.
"What? Four Great Sage -level motherships? Back then, there were four Great Sages who led the fleet on an expedition. How terrifying was their combat strength! They disappeared in such a strange manner and became ghost ships in the end? "
Many people were shaken and expressed their shock at this result. The ancient saints felt bitter in their hearts because some of their direct ancestors had died in unknown ways.
The enormous ghost ships carried an aura of death as they passed by their eyes. No one dared to go forward and could only watch the glorious relics of their ancestors from afar.
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm, "Yi, something's not right. What's that? What's that? There's a huge iron chain between the four Great Sage ships?"
None of the motherships could scan that area because there was a strange fluctuation being emitted from that area that could block all probing.
A noble stood outside the mothership and gathered his courage to look into the distance. He used his Heavenly Eye to observe the indescribable scenery.
However, the distance was too far. In the blurry darkness of the universe, the distance between any celestial body was unreachable and boundless for humans.
"Move closer!"
An ancestral saint also noticed the situation and ordered a mothership to fly forward. He didn't dare to get close and only watched from afar.
"That's …" Many experts rushed out of their spaceships and gazed into the distance. As their eyes opened and closed, beams of light shot forward.
Ye Fan also left the battleship and stood on the body of the ship to look into the distance. His Heavenly Eye was extremely sharp, so he immediately saw the inside story and was immediately shaken.
"It's a huge ancient coffin!" An ancient saint cried out involuntarily.
They got even closer. Everyone gazed into the distance in fear and amazement and finally saw the miraculous scene clearly.
The four ancient ships of the Great Sage were each in a different direction, and there was a massive coffin locked within each of them as they floated through the universe.
It was unknown what the ancient coffin was made of. It seemed to be made of gold yet not gold, stone yet not stone, wood yet not wood. The material was unknown. It was simple and unadorned, as if it had passed through an unimaginable amount of time in the river of time.
Four thick chains were tied to it, shackling it in the center of the four Great Sage motherships. It seemed incomparably heaven-defying and evil!
Although the coffin was huge, it seemed very small when compared to the four Great Sage ships. However, when everyone looked forward, they immediately ignored the four Great Sage ships and only had eyes for the coffin.
In the cold cosmos, it was the only one. There was a terrifying existence that proved that it was the eternal protagonist of the world!
An ancient saint said with a trembling voice, "In the past 100,000 years, our Eternal Star Field has discovered the ghost ships that represent death fourteen times. However, each time, we could only see the four Great Sage ships. There was only darkness between them, like a boundless mysterious void that couldn't be seen through. Who would have thought that we would actually see through it today? Or perhaps it could be said that it has revealed its true appearance!"
Another ancient saint said with a solemn expression, "So in that case, our ancestors sent out four Great Sage ships for this coffin?"
"They excavated, or perhaps the spoils of war they obtained was this huge ancient coffin?" The ancient saints all muttered to themselves.
Ye Fan looked at the mysterious ancient coffin and great waves surged in his heart!
"Since the darkness has disappeared, everything can be seen. Perhaps we can go over and take a look. Let's stake it all! I will go and take a look to uncover this terrifying ancient mystery!" A noble said.
