The thick bugle horn released an oppressive desolate divine sound. The expeditionary army set sail, breaking the peace of tens of thousands of years. Every mothership was followed by a group of warships. They were densely packed, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Each of the twelve great clans sent out at least four motherships, some as many as seven. They moved majestically, releasing holy might as they tore through the sky, continuously entering the enormous starry gate in outer space.
This was a great battle that spanned across galaxies!
Under the rumbling of the ancient war bugle horn, large amounts of steel flickered with ice-cold luster. They covered the sky and covered the sky dome as they headed towards the other shore of the starry sky.
Many people sent them off. All types of flying ships rushed into the sky, and there were also many experts who flew into the sky with their physical bodies. The various king clans' descendants and women were like sending off their heroes on their way, scattering flowers in the void.
"I'll be waiting for your return!" A beautiful young lady transmitted sound to a young man.
"Haha … I'll conquer a large territory and establish a resplendent country. Children, I'll be waiting for your good news!" There were ancestral saints who came to send them off as well. The fluctuations they released resounded through the sky dome, resonating with the entire star domain.
"Brave warriors who have expanded our territory, we'll be waiting for your triumphant return!" The relatives and friends of the twelve great clans sent them off, sending out their blessings.
The warships were like a forest, flickering with the cold luster unique to metal. The expeditionary experts' morale was very high. They were all waiting for glory to descend and carve out a splendid future.
In the end, the enormous starry gate slowly dimmed. All of the warships entered, completely disappearing into another resplendent sea of stars.
The great war had begun!
The boundless cosmos, the boundless starry sky, it was incomparably grand and boundless.
From ancient times until now, it had been called the cosmos. People could only define it like this, because it was vast, profound, and terrifying. There was no way to measure it.
Darkness was the eternal theme. Even though there were countless stars, they still seemed insignificant in this black curtain. The coldness and loneliness were boundless, far more cruel and terrifying than people could imagine.
The first spatial jump went smoothly. They appeared in a bleak void. This was a region of death without the slightest fluctuation of life.
The Southern Fiend recorded the path using the Fiend Race's most ancient and simple starry sky coordinates without any mistakes. After complex restoration and deciphering, they sorted out the correct route map.
"Very good. Let's make the next space jump. If there are no accidents, we will need to make more than 400 jumps in total to reach that mysterious ancient planet with life!"
When Ye Fan heard this, he was moved. It seemed like his change of direction was not a horizontal one. Reaching Eternal Kingdom was a vertical one.
He remembered very clearly that when he stepped onto the Five-Colored Altar, strange dead stars descended one after another. In total, there were less than a hundred dead stars.
The second, the third … the 88th space jump. Everything was very stable. A large number of motherships led the endless steel battleships forward with a might that could sweep through the star field.
After crossing the sky for the 89th time, all the battleships came out from the huge stargate. A strange fluctuation appeared in front of them, and the alarm rang in every mothership.
"There's a spaceship up ahead. It's extremely damaged, lying in the cold starry sky, together with the cosmic dust."
An image appeared on the big screen. It was a 1,500-foot-long battleship. It was majestic and huge, almost as big as the mothership.
"It belongs to our Everlasting Star Region, but we don't know which family it belongs to. It's actually destroyed here. Send a battleship to see what happened."
A silver spaceship rushed up, forming a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the huge ship and circled around it to observe. Then, it entered through the huge hole.
"Ah …"
Suddenly, a mournful scream could be heard. Every battleship received their signal. The people who entered the spaceship suddenly had their facial features contorted. Then, they exploded one by one. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, dying the screen red.
Then, a strange sound was heard. The connection was cut off, and the place became deathly silent.
"Who can tell me what happened?" In the mothership of the Original Demon Star Ocean, the Marquis of the Mo Clan shouted coldly. The damaged spaceship belonged to their clan.
No one could answer. There were many things in the universe that couldn't be explained. The vast Great Void was incomparably long, and people couldn't explore it in their entire lives.
Anyone who traveled in the universe would know that things that were a hundred or ten thousand times stranger than this had happened before. It was incomprehensible.
"Shoot them!"
The Marquis of the other mothership decisively gave the order. There were so many of them here. Not to mention the ancient mechas, there were fifty to sixty motherships. If they fired at full force, even a sage would be smashed to pieces in an instant.
Moreover, in this expedition, the various clans had ancient sages to support them. They had nothing to fear!
"Boom!"
A beam of light tore through the darkness, cutting open the cold and eerie huge ship. Everything inside could be seen clearly.
In the next instant, something strange happened. Many people in the battleships cried out in fear. All kinds of signals were cut off, and the spaceship was showing signs of losing control.
Within the damaged hull, a huge fog appeared. It was dusky and thick like lead clouds. The pressure actually caused the void of the universe to crack. It spread out in an instant, covering the sun, moon, and stars. It enveloped the entire void, completely submerging the mothership and the hundreds of battleships around it.
"Not good, this is the Devil Fog. Retreat quickly, avoid it!"
Someone cried out in alarm. This was simply the bane of all spaceships. Everywhere it passed, the battleships were all corroded beyond recognition. Even the great dao runes couldn't stop it.
"This is an extremely dangerous thing in the universe. Even the ancient sages have to avoid it. It can devour and destroy everything. Fortunately, we only encountered a small amount. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble. Quickly ask the sages to take action!"
No one could say for sure what kind of substance the Devil Fog was. It would sometimes have strong electromagnetic properties, and sometimes it would display a destructive divine energy that was constantly changing.
It was very rare in the universe and was classified as a terrifying legendary thing. It was definitely terrifying, but it was difficult to determine whether it had an independent will or whether it was a living body.
The four ancient sages acted at the same time. Divine chains of order formed millions of marks. They flowed and formed a cage that trapped all the fog in the center. They refined it together and continuously destroyed it.
When there was only a little bit left, a sage opened his mouth and spat out a Divine Glass Furnace. It was resplendent and crystal clear. The furnace opened and the remaining fog was forcibly sucked in.
Existences of this level naturally didn't lack divine weapons. Some weapons were left behind by the ancient ascetics. They were peerless in power and were similarly suitable for them.
"Bring it back and properly study it. Just what kind of substance is this?"
In the distance, there was a terrifying scene. Over a hundred warships were all damaged and lifeless. It was clear that not a single person had survived.
Meanwhile, the marks on the mothership at the center were also dim. The body of the ship had been cut open and not a single person had survived. This group of motherships had been completely devoured and crippled.
They had just set off, but they had already lost a priceless mothership. This made everyone feel very depressed.
"Anything can happen in the universe. This isn't much. If we want to cross galaxies, we must be prepared to sacrifice ourselves. Let's continue on our way." A sage said coldly.
The people of the twelve great nobles frequently entered the starry sea of the cosmos and naturally understood this kind of cruelty. They had encountered things many times more terrifying than this. As a result, they weren't that depressed. They quickly adjusted themselves and continued forward.
The following path was rather long because the ancient coordinates of the Southern Demon were becoming more and more difficult to understand. The original calculations and deductions weren't necessarily accurate and needed to be verified repeatedly. They took many wrong paths and had to continuously correct them along the way.
This process was time-consuming and exhausting. They deduced, calculated, explored, and verified. In the blink of an eye, five months had passed and they were only halfway through their journey.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing alarm sounded. Every spaceship rumbled as they were swept up by a terrifying great dao fluctuation. Many small spaceships were violently impacted and quickly disintegrated.
"Enemy attack! Battle prowess comparable to the ancient saint level. An unknown creature is rushing over from the depths of the universe!"
It was a gigantic beast the size of a small mountain. It was several hundred zhang tall, and its entire body was covered in blood-colored scales. Even its eyes were blood-colored, and it was as muscular as a wild bull. It had a pair of dragon horns on its head, and its claws were as sharp as a black roc's. It directly tore at a mothership, destroying many battleships along the way.
It let out a spiritual fluctuation that shook the universe. The sound of its roar was enough to shatter one's soul. Ye Fan was shocked. The vastness of the universe was indeed mysterious. A creature comparable to the ancient saints actually appeared in this boundless and silent starry region.
"What kind of creature is this? Where did it come from? Why is it attacking us?"
"This is a vicious beast that has reached the saint level. A year ago, a mothership of my Zhao Clan came to explore this part of the universe and encountered it. Its young son was severely injured and it chased us through many starry regions. I didn't expect to come here and meet it again."
It didn't need to think to know that the Zhao Clan had almost killed the son of an ancient saint level vicious beast. Now that they had met again, they naturally wouldn't let it go.
The battleships around the mothership were all destroyed by its spiritual roar and exploded. The powerful mothership was torn apart by it, and cracks also appeared on it.
Boom!
The protective light screen of the mothership opened and finally got rid of it. It was not a lie that the mothership could fight against the saints. At this time, it displayed its true battle prowess and emitted a brilliant light.
The Sages who accompanied the expedition appeared, and this time, there were eight of them. All of them emitted destructive waves, causing the entire starry sky of the universe to tremble. Black holes appeared everywhere, and even the stars were about to fall.
This ancient vicious beast opened its mouth and roared. Its blood-red eyes flashed fiercely. It knew that it would definitely die if it fought, so it tore open the void and escaped.
However, before it left, it slapped down with its claws. Hundreds of small spaceships turned into cosmic dust and were destroyed in an instant. They couldn't resist at all.
Ye Fan was shocked. Traveling in this dark universe, he actually met such a lonely and terrifying saint. The boundless starry region was indeed incomparably terrifying and mysterious.
"There's no need to pay attention to it. Let's continue."
The huge fleet of motherships made another space jump. The two saints held the line to prevent the beast from following them.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. The expedition army combined the route that the siblings from the Violet Cloud Royal Family had taken when they were lost and carefully calculated the coordinates left by the Southern Demon. The road ahead was gradually becoming clear. Perhaps they would reach their destination soon!
Half a month later, a battleship that was exploring the starry region and verifying the road ahead seemed to be startled. It quickly retreated. The captain's voice trembled as he reported a terrifying matter.
"We found them. It's been 100,000 years … they're actually still here. They've existed for eternity!"
Very soon, everyone in the huge fleet of space carriers was horrified. They also saw a terrifying scene. That kind of majestic scene made every cultivator's hair stand on end. Even the supreme Saint turned pale after seeing it.
