In the desolate universe, in the dim starry sky, there was not a trace of human habitation. There was a planet that was specially taken care of by the sun.
As far as the eye could see, the ground seemed to be the product of the eruption of magma. It was reddish-brown, cold, desolate, distant, and deathly silent. Numerous protruding boulders from the ground seemed like numerous desolate tombstones.
As a shocking storm descended, like a comet falling from the sky, dozens of figures finally appeared.
"Where are we?"
Dozens of figures had just stabilized their footsteps when they immediately raised their eyes and observed their surroundings. However, the desolate scene that entered their eyes caused many people to be at a loss.
The group was none other than Ye Chen and the rest.
Ye Chen put away the Star Fixing Compass and spread out his Divine Consciousness. He could sense everything within a thousand miles around him.
Su Yuhan grabbed his hand tightly and looked around while clenching her teeth. "Ye Chen, where are we?"
"Mars!"
Ye Chen said slowly, "We've landed on Mars. In ancient times, Mars was called Mars Mars. I think the Time-fixing Compass left behind by Ye Dongli was wrong and brought us here …"
"This is Mars?"
Ye Hai and Wu Lan were completely dumbfounded.
They did know about Mars, but they only knew about it from television. At their age, there were many things waiting to be done in China, and they were vigorously developing the people's livelihood.
The first country to land on Mars was the former Soviet Union's "Mars One." However, "Mars One" was lost later on. After that, the United States and Korea began to launch space exploration, sending out probes and satellites one after another.
Who would have thought that they would actually descend on Mars from this place that was once so far away from them?
"Then what should we do?"
Su Yuhan looked at the blue planet deep in the universe and said nervously, "You must know that Mars is over 50 million kilometers away from Earth …"
"That doesn't matter."
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Our flying speed is more than 1,000 times faster than a rocket. At most, we'll reach Earth in a little more time."
At this point, he seemed to remember something. "It's just that we've used up a lot of spiritual energy on our way here from the Ancient Barren World. Why don't we recover first? “
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded and took out their Spirit Stones to recover.
The distance between the Ancient Barren World and Mars was more than 40 million kilometers. There were also spatial cracks along the way. Everyone's spiritual energy was almost depleted.
At that moment, Mengmeng, who was in Wu Lan's arms, struggled down and ran toward Ye Chen. "Daddy, I want to see Mars."
"Alright!"
Ye Chen smiled and picked her up immediately. Then, he held her hand and walked into the distance. Along the way, he explained all sorts of knowledge about Mars to the little girl.
After the Patriarch of Hell and the rest recovered their spiritual energy, they followed closely behind Ye Chen with Ye Hai and Wu Lan.
At this moment, someone exclaimed and pointed into the distance, "Look, what's that?!!"
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there was a huge wreckage in the depression in front of them. At this moment, it had already been corroded.
"It's a warship!"
The Patriarch of Hell took the lead and walked over to take a look. He could not help but turn to look at Ye Chen, "Fellow Ye, it's a crashed space battleship."
The battleship was huge, and its hull was polished with special materials. It had countless large firing ports, and there was even an energy cabin at the bottom of the battleship. However, there was no one inside …
Ye Chen fixed his gaze on the red and white flag on the hull. He could not help but say, "It's a US warship! “
"It's indeed a US warship. Could it be that the US warship crashed here?"
"It doesn't seem like it."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "The US's technology has always been leading the world. It's unlikely that it would crash. Moreover, even if it crashed, what about the people in the cabin?"
The Patriarch of Hell immediately reacted and quickened his pace to continue investigating. Soon, he found another spaceship.
There was a Chinese flag engraved on the spaceship.
"A spaceship from China!"
Ye Chen squinted slightly. He saw that the spaceship was exactly the same as the previous battleship. It was severely damaged, and there was not a single person in the cabin.
The only difference was that there were many runes engraved on the spaceship. However, the runes had long collapsed.
"Continue searching!"
For some reason, Ye Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.
The North Sea Temple Master and the rest immediately spread out and searched the surface of Mars. They discovered spaceships and battleships from many countries, but they were all broken and disintegrated.
"What's going on? Could it be that the countries in the world are fighting for supremacy over Mars? "
Ye Chen was getting more and more uneasy.
At that moment, Shi Qianhan's sorrowful voice came from afar, "Brother Ye, look here!"
In front of him stood a huge tombstone. On the tombstone were densely engraved names and words. There were Chinese, English, Korean …
"The space has changed drastically, and the enemies from outer space have arrived. The fate of humans on Earth is in danger. The countries of the world have formed an alliance to fight against the enemies from outer space. However, the technology that we are proud of cannot withstand the flying swords, talismans, and spells of the enemies from outer space …"
Ye Chen looked at the words quietly. His heart was heavy because the people buried here were countless elites from all over the world.
There were more than 3,000 people!
Shi Qianhan took a deep breath in and looked at him, "Brother Ye, looks like the enemies from outer space have finally arrived while we were away …"
Ye Hai and Wu Lan felt as if a huge rock was hanging in their hearts, "I wonder how Ye Wen and the rest are doing, and how our motherland is doing …"
Right at that moment, the Patriarch of Green Spirit and the rest sent a voice transmission talisman, "Heavenly Lord Ye, there are many tombstones here …"
Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw tombstones. They were desolate, tragic, dead, and bleak …
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and walked to a tombstone. He lowered his head and looked at the inscription on it.
"I'm Taoist Lei Yang, the sect master of the Dao Sect of Shang Santian in China. I've joined hands with many fellow Daoists from Shang Santian to intercept the foreign lands. However, the enemies from outer space are coming aggressively. We can only serve our country with our broken bodies …"
"The sect master of the Kunlun Ruins' Devil Sect, Ying Feng, killed five early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. In the end, he self-destructed and severely injured a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator …"
"The sect master of the Kunlun Ruins' Ghoul Sect, Ba Liming, led the powerhouses of the Ghoul Sect and fought here for three days and three nights. All of them died in battle, and not even their corpses were left …"
"The sect master of the Star Sect, Xing Yuanzi, sacrificed the Star Sect and cast a heaven-defying spell. He summoned a meteor to kill a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator here …"
"The sect master of the Spirit Talisman Sect, Essence Talisman …"
Everyone fell silent as they looked at the epitaphs on the tombstones. The atmosphere in the surroundings suddenly became extremely oppressive.
Endless sorrow emanated from Ye Chen's body.
He knew all the names on the tombstones. These people had once been his enemies, but in the face of Earth's crisis, they were still fearless and chose to die for a just cause!
This was the shared destiny of mankind!
This was a Chinese martial artist who dared to fight and die!
Shi Qianhan's face was extremely pale, and his entire body was trembling. Even though he had not experienced the tragic battle back then, he could still feel it through the tombstones.
When Ye Chen's gaze stopped on the last tombstone, he could not help but close his eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Ye Wushuang knelt heavily in front of the tombstone, almost choking with sobs.
It was the peak master of the Kunlun Ruins' Ninth Peak, Elder Qing Xuan, "I'm the peak master of the Kunlun Ruins' Ninth Peak, Qing Xuan. In the winter of 2019 AD, the foreign enemies invaded, and China was the first to bear the brunt. In order to kill the enemy's Soul Formation powerhouses, I used myself as bait to buy time for China's God-Shooting Cannon …
"I carved this tombstone before I died. If the future generations of China see it, I hope they won't let us down …"
Blergh!
Ye Chen's lips moved slightly, and he spat a mouthful of blood in the end!
Dead, all the upper echelons of Shang Santian had died in battle. Even Elder Qing Xuan, who had helped him before, was dead!
"Elder Qing Xuan …" Ye Wushuang was extremely sorrowful.
He would never forget that when he was alone in the Kunlun Ruins Sword Sect, it was Elder Qing Xuan who took him in!
He could not forget that when he became the Sword Sect's enemy, it was Elder Qing Xuan who protected him regardless of his life!
Su Yuhan held Ye Chen's hand tightly and said with a sad expression, "Ye Chen, I'm sorry …"
"I'm fine!"
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and bowed solemnly to the tombstones before him while trembling, "Everyone, have a safe journey. I swear that if I don't slaughter all the people from the outer realm, I'm not a human!"
That killing intent caused the sky to change color.
Ye Wushuang, Shi Qianhan, the Patriarch of Hell, and the rest bowed. Even the Patriarch of Green Spirit and the rest were no exception.
Ye Chen stood up and walked over slowly. He put all the tombstones into his sleeve with trembling hands and muttered, "Everyone, I'll bring you home today. You're heroes, and your souls shouldn't have left you!"
At that moment, the sound of air being torn apart could be heard from afar. The Patriarch of Hell could not help but say, "Someone's here!"
"Huang Fan, that's the place where the natives of the Celestial Burial Planet died that I told you about before …"
"The lowly natives of the Celestial Burial Planet overestimate themselves. How dare they stop us from descending to the Celestial Burial Planet? I'm going to pee on their tombstones in front of everyone …"
Two cold laughs were heard.
Ye Chen's expression was terrifyingly calm. Soon, two rays of light shot over and revealed two young men.
The two of them were dressed strangely. They were different from Ye Chen and the rest. However, there was ruthlessness and cruelty between their brows.
Both of them were at Golden Core.
"Eh, someone got here before us?"
The two of them were shocked when they saw Ye Chen. One of the burly young men could not help but step forward and say, "I'm Huang Fan, a disciple of the Violet Planet's Huang family. May I know where you're from?"
However, what caused his expression to change was that none of them spoke. They were all staring at him coldly, and their gazes were terrifying.
"Oh no, they're from the Celestial Burial Planet!"
Huang Fan seemed to have sensed something, and his expression suddenly changed. Then, he rode on the sword gleam and tried to escape!
"I want him alive!"
Ye Chen turned around slowly. There was no emotion in his voice.
