A thin, blue mist was moving fast across the icy, dark space, with Zhen Ru’s body shrunk within. She placed a hand on her chest, holding a chestnut-like pellet. The gold pellet had attached to the veins on her wounds, the aroma moving from the pellet to her blood.
Her wound had stopped bleeding by now, and with the energy from the pellet, she slowly regained color on her face.
Filled with fear, she was running at her max speed while curing herself. At the same time, she repeatedly turned her head to check. And every time she did that, her face turned more solemn, her insecurity swelling.
A massive sword made of space energy was flying after her, powerful enough to tear the void and leave many space trenches.
The cold and desolate aura accumulated after billions of years came out of the space cracks as wanting to bring this world to eternal death.
Zhen Ru could see Shi Yan’s Soul Seal at the tip of the sword. It meant that Shi Yan had spent a wisp of his soul and spirit on this sword to use it to hunt her down.
Spinning asteroids suddenly appeared in Zhen Ru’s vision. She exhaled in relief, hastily getting inside that area.
The asteroids were as massive as a mountain, an island, or even a whole nation. They kept a specific distance between each other. Those asteroids had many colors, including crimson, blue, and many others. They were moving under the effect of some magnetic fields.
As soon as Zhen Ru got into the asteroid field, she slowed down.
She knew that this field of asteroids was created by the soul magnetic field of a Territory Ancestor after he was gone for many years. The twisted magnetic field here had attracted many asteroids with strange energies, able to make low-realm warriors lose their tracks in this maze.
She knew this place.
As soon as she came to the Phantom Clan, she had already studied the surroundings. This area was her last vein to escape as she had arranged something here.
Swoosh!
Zhen Ru had turned into a thin mist, moving between the madly spinning asteroids.
A hundreds of miles wide, lemon-yellow asteroid was prominent in this place. This asteroid had many rock columns installed in accordance with the formation of Eight Diagrams. From a distance, the asteroid glowed with a gold light due to the fierce surging energy.
Zhen Ru landed on a rock column on the yellow asteroid, which suddenly shook hard. The gold halo surged and stimulated the other rock columns to emit the sky-reaching gold halos, together creating a sea of gold light.
The members of the Myriad Shape Tribe appeared from those rock columns. There were hundreds of them, and they were all at the high realms.
As soon as they arrived, they cheered,
Welcome back, Matriarch!
Gather our forces, open the formation to teleport quickly!
Zhen Ru ordered resolutely, asking her fellows to prepare quickly.
Several hundred warriors of the Myriad Shape Tribe urged their energies, pouring them into the rock columns. Shortly, the earth-shaking energy in the rock columns gathered, shaking the asteroid while the smaller ones around them exploded loudly.
Layers of golden light expanded on the surface of the yellow asteroid, covering it completely.
Strangely, as the gold light was expanding, the asteroid shrank as if it had inherited the innate power of the Myriad Shape Tribe and could resize freely.
Zhen Ru wore a cold and serious face. She didn’t dare to relax, watching the area behind them cautiously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ear-piercing explosions echoed as the small asteroids behind them exploded along with the arrival of the dazzling sword, which had crushed all the asteroids in its way into powder. With a terrifying threat, it attacked directly and forcefully. The power that could tear the space barged into the golden halo that had just been formed.
Crack! Crack!
Just like a broken eggshell, the dazzling golden halo resounded crunchy crackling. As golden sparks were sent everywhere, dozens of Myriad Shape Tribe fellows perished, turning into mist and smoke, not even having the time to shriek.
After this attack, the saber light made of space energy had its power reduced, dimming out slowly.
The giant space saber attacked one more time and vanished afterward, but the golden halo was shattered along with it. As a result, more than thirty members of the Myriad Shape Tribe were killed directly.
Shi Yan! We don’t stand under the same sky! I’m sure I will crush your bones!
Blood trickled down the corners of Zhen Ru’s mouth as She stood on a rock column and gritted her teeth. Her bone-deep resentment glided across space, attacking Shi Yan.
Because of her greed, the small population of the Myriad Shape Tribe had lost one-fifth of their members, most of whom were elites. Zhen Ru had to bear a terrible pain in her heart, feeling so regretful.
…
Crush my bones? Haha, you won’t have a chance!
Shi Yan put Mei Ji down and stood up while sneering at the sky, giving an answer to Zhen Ru’s threat.
At the same time, he rose one hand, grabbing something the void.
A brilliant galaxy came from a deep region of the hazy space: it was the Skyfall Star River covered with fresh blood. Shi Yan had sent this weapon to chase after Fan De Lei.
It was blood from Fan De Lei. The Skyfall Star River shook, causing drops of blood to fall like the red pearl with dark red halos. They rained on many members of the Phantom Clan who were surprised initially, then became thrilled.
The Territory Ancestor’s blood is really good for you to refine your power and transform your body.
Shi Yan grinned.
Thank you, bro!
Thank you, haha!
Great!
Many members of the Phantom Clan understood the magical effects of the blood, so they screamed and cheered.
The woman Mei Ji had called Aunt Fang looked worried. She hesitated and then asked anxiously,
You… What did you do to Fan De Lei? No matter what, he’s a member of our Phantom Clan. He’s one of our rare Territory Ancestors. Did you kill him?
The people who had cheered wore a complicated face, keeping silent.
They were all discontented with Fan De Lei. They understood that Fan De Lei deserved death, but still, they would feel sad if he was killed. This prominent man had a reputation. Even if he had done something wrong, he shouldn’t have been killed as a punishment.
Mei Ji slowly regained color on her face, her vitality getting stronger. She opened her eyes, which conveyed a deep sorrow.
Fan De Lei and I used to live in a small tribe. He took good care of me. Sigh, I had never thought that we would turn like water and fire one day.
Don’t worry, focus on your recovery! He’s not dead yet. My Skyfall Star River only made him unable to scheme further for a short time. I didn’t kill him,
Shi Yan muttered.
Hearing him, many members of the Phantom Clan exhaled in relief. Although they were discontented with Fan De Lei, they didn’t want to see him killed by an outsider like Shi Yan. Even Mei Ji couldn’t attack someone who used to take care of her.
Aunt Fang, please go to the information center to contact Grannie!
Mei Ji suddenly got something in her mind, her countenance restless.
Cantecie and Fan De Lei dared to wreak havoc here. I’m sure there would be something going on at her place as well. You tell her to be more cautious.
Aunt Fang and many senior members of the Phantom Clan got it, so they hurried to go to the control center at their fastest pace.
Previously, Cantecie and Fan De Lei’s people had controlled their information center, leaving the information control with many shattered crystals. However, the main Sound Stones still functioned well.
Shortly, Aunt Fang and some members of the Phantom Clan arrived at the center, working in there diligently.
Shi Yan frowned while waiting. He also wanted to know about Montecie ‘s situation.
Minutes later, Aunt Fang and the other members returned with ashen faces.
Couldn’t contact them! They had left with a dozen battleships, each of them equipped with a unique Sound Stone. None of them work now!
Hearing this, the members of the Phantom Clan turned worried. Apparently, Montecie and her subordinates were in big trouble! Otherwise, they could have contacted at least one of the battleships. It meant that all of them were destroyed!
We must help Madam Montecie!
We must know what had happened!
Let’s find them!
The Phantom Clan fellows made up their minds quickly, screaming and yelling.
Even though Mei Ji hadn’t recovered yet, she forced herself to stop her progress, talking,
I’m sure their location was disclosed. That’s how the others could ambush her. As she couldn’t contact us, her situation isn’t good indeed.
Taking a deep breath, Mei Ji put on a desperate face,
Serene Prison and the others are the attackers. They have joined hands!
She had understood it right away.
Mei Ji’s ancestral land was shaken hard, and she herself was wounded. Cantecie and Fan De Lei had betrayed them, leaving with a fraction of their warriors. They didn’t have a leader now. If Montecie were in danger, it would be a serious strike to the Phantom Clan, which would make them collapse utterly.
All of this happened were because of you. I think you should give us justice!
Aunt Fang pulled a serious face, her eyes glaring into Shi Yan’s.
My clan is at the critical moment between life and death. To protect you, we’ve had to pay a drastic price. You should fight for us, right?
All the members of the Phantom Clan gazed at Shi Yan, their longing eyes and begging faces unconcealed. They were baffled when they saw Shi Yan’s power today. He had defeated Zhen Ru, one of the Ten Great Territory Ancestors, and also shooed away Fan De Lei and Cantecie. His power was actually at the top of this Sea Domain of Nihility!
Moreover, it was rumored that Shi Yan had a good relationship with the White Bone Clan, and he even had a secret agreement with the Mysterious Sky Clan. If he helped them, the Phantom Clan could revive and thrive again!
You have to help us,
Mei Ji stooped and begged.
It is indeed my responsibility!
Shi Yan pressed each word as the others were waiting for his answer with great expectations and Mei Ji was begging him.
