Chapter 430: Chance Encounter with the Interstellar Battle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the space ambush.
“We’ve finally captured these two people. Once the space disruptor is activated, the spaceship can forget about teleporting freely. With so many large factions present, let’s attack together and not give the two of them any chance to escape.”
A space beast covered in lightning spoke in human language. This was a creature that could devour stars, and the remote and weak living planets often that became its food.
For example, a planet like the blue planet had not truly integrated into the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. The space beast might have casually swallowed it when it passed by, and the creatures on the blue planet would have disappeared without a trace.
Nuclear weapons, intercontinental missiles, and laser weapons would not even leave a scratch on the space beast, and the martial masters were even less than ants compared to it.
It had a grudge against the Gao clan, so it had participated in the pursuit of Gao Shuai.
“Oh? They want to kill me together?”
After discussing the route with Gao Shuai, Chen Yiming appeared outside the spaceship and heard the space beast’s suggestion.
He did not make a commotion when he appeared, nor did it attract any attention. He was just standing there in space as though it was an ordinary thing to him.
However, his figure that was reflected in countless pupils seemed to be glowing. In an instant, it seemed to light up the entire galaxy, illuminating the entire ambush area.
Just by meeting his gaze, they subconsciously looked away. The scene of blood dying the space red was too terrifying. This was his might in a battle.
“What!”
Countless creatures gasped and their expressions changed when they saw him. The lightning on the space beast’s body had even extinguished and it took the initiative to hide.
Although Chen Yiming wasn’t considered famous in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, his achievements on the Flying Cloud Planet and his lack of fear of those with powerful backgrounds were enough to intimidate them.
It had to be said that the deaths of the Little Roc King and the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet were too shocking. As a result, Chen Yiming’s appearance caused a commotion in those involved in the ambush. They didn’t attack together as the space beast had said.
The tense atmosphere lasted for a while.
However, if they did not make a move now, they would just be watching as the spaceship flew away.
“Kill!”
An elder from the Jiang clan spat out a sword. Although it was not more than a foot long, its surface was shining brightly as he slashed his way over.
This sword was a divine artifact. The base was made from the tooth of a space beast. It was completely green and emitted a life force that made it seem to be alive.
Ever since it was created, countless creatures had died under this sword. Its achievements in battle were almost invincible, and it could easily cut a planet in half.
In the blink of an eye, when the sword reached its target, it suddenly turned into a huge green beast that opened its huge mouth and bit at its target.
“Boom!”
Chen Yiming didn’t care about the sword or the huge beast. No matter what he was facing, he just threw a punch back. A fist shadow hit the huge mouth of the green beast.
The green beast’s body was immediately forced back, and its energy fluctuated unstably. It almost collapsed on the spot.
“Oof!”
The elder from the Jiang clan spat out a mouthful of blood.
This mouthful of blood contained powerful energy that entered the body of the huge green beast. It was absorbed immediately and disappeared, and the light around it became even stronger as it drowned out the fist shadow.
“Oh? I want to see how many mouthfuls of blood you can spit out.”
Chen Yiming waved his fists. After a fist shadow was swallowed up by the huge green beast, hundreds of fist shadows shot over in the blink of an eye. The starry sky shook, and the huge green beast’s body was shattered on the spot.
“Crack!”
Under countless gazes, a sword flew back towards the elder in the form of broken fragments. The elder was kneeling on the ground with a dispirited expression, and his mind had suffered a serious backlash.
The old man waved his hand, and the fragments of the divine sword fused into his inner world. He looked up and roared angrily, his eyes turning red as he went into a frenzy.
The Sword Control Technique was an offensive technique that could kill enemies from thousands of kilometers away. At the god realm, its power was even more terrifying.
However, because it needed to be nurtured by the mind for a long time, it was almost an extension of the body. If a part of the body was destroyed, it would also cause a backlash to the body.
“How dare you destroy my divine sword? I’ll fight you to the death!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of the elder. Chen Yiming had used the space anchor to travel through space. At the same time, due to the interference from the aftershock of the battle, he had not been noticed until now.
“Then die!” Chen Yiming said calmly. He punched the old man straight in the chest with an almost indestructible fist.
“Boom!”
The physique formed by his Undying Body talent and Giant talent could almost be called the divine power of the body. A terrifying power erupted, and a figure covered in blood streaked across the galaxy.
It was the elder.
The space beast had retreated and the second to step forward to lure Chen Yiming into a trap was this elder.
However, other than the aftershock of the battle that was still spreading, the entire galaxy was silent. This was the result of not having an elder that was strong enough to hold down the fort.
At the critical moment, all of them were afraid.
“That’s it? What happened to attacking at the same time?”
As Gao Shuai had said, they were just a group of small fries. Chen Yiming swept his gaze across them and took in everything. The creatures he was looking at, whether they were humans or alien species, slowly retreated.
Their action of retreating completely exposed the situation in the ambush.
There were countless cannon fodder at the fusion realm present. There were at least 100 creatures at the star condensation realm. There might not be more than 10 main combatants at the jade star realm, but there were at least close to 10 of them.
However, in the face of Chen Yiming, who could be considered to have taken the initiative to attack, they didn’t rush forward to try to exhaust him to death. Instead, after seeing that the elder had been defeated, their fighting spirit disappeared.
This also meant that when one cultivated to a high level, there were very few boorish people who were not clear-headed.
The divine seed was tempting, but one had to be alive to obtain it.
No one in the ambush wanted to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
Time quickly passed by.
After the true situation of the ambush was revealed, no one dared to make a move.
They all started to slack off on the pursuit mission assigned to them. They pretended not to see each other and did not put in any effort into the pursuit.
The spaceship was allowed to escape from the ambush. In front of the spatial ability users, they all knew that it was useless to stop the spaceship. Instead, they would be beaten up like the elder.
Chen Yiming glanced at them again before his figure disappeared into the void.
…
Outside the Hidden Dragon Galaxy,
“Swish!”
In the dark space, a faint light lit up. Unidentified flying objects passed by. Unless they were very close, they could not be seen by the naked eye. Most methods were useless for detecting them.
In the spaceship, Chen Yiming was holding a piece of bone in his hand. He looked at it again and again. Many disorderly patterns appeared on the surface of the bone, and from time to time, it would show a sharp edge, and from time to time, it would look like lightning.
“We’re in luck. This is a divine rune. As the son of the Roc King, the pure bloodline of the giant roc flows in the Little Roc King’s body, and he was born with this innate precious bone,” Gao Shuai glanced at it and said.
The divine patterns formed by the innate precious bones were essentially materializations of the corresponding natural laws. Furthermore, they had been optimized to a certain extent, and were greatly compatible with the physique of this race.
Generally speaking, it was very difficult for others to snatch it away. Before one died, they could destroy it themselves. However, the Little Roc King had been ambushed and blown up, so it did not have time to react.
At the same time, it was also the best way to understand the natural laws. Clans that could create these innate precious bones were usually not allowed to spread them to outsiders. If it was exposed, they would do their best to chase after them.
“It has a similar principle to the concept diagram corresponding to internal force. However, the level of power involved is worlds apart. If we use modern science to describe it, it’s a power inherited from the genes.”
Hearing this, Chen Yiming roughly figured out the essence of the innate precious bones.
To put it bluntly, they were all passed down from the elders among their ancestors. Those with pure bloodlines could rely on information they contained to progress along their path of cultivation.
However, this method was definitely not something that ordinary cultivators could use. This was because there was a high chance that it did not have a high compatibility with their bodies. In other words, they need to have the ability to comprehend the natural laws from the innate precious bones.
Of course, each piece of the precious bone would definitely be of extraordinary value. Chen Yiming didn’t need it himself, but he could use it to exchange for essence energy, so it could indirectly be converted into Skill Points.
The old butler and the bull-headed men stared at the precious bone for a long time.
To break through to the star condensation realm, one needed to condense an inner world. With the inner world, it would be easy to break through. After mastering the power of the world, it would be very, very difficult for one to improve further.
This involved comprehending the power of natural laws and integrating it into the power of the world. Only then could the power one controlled continue to increase.
Not long after.
Chen Yiming put away the bone in his hand and took out the treasured saber he had obtained from the Little Roc King.
The treasured saber was a divine artifact used by the Little Roc King. It also had divine patterns related to natural laws inside. However, compared to the innate precious bone, it was man-made, so it contained many flaws.
These flaws were caused by the difference in everyone’s understanding of the natural laws. Therefore, only in the hands of the creator of the divine artifact could it unleash its full power.
“Unfortunately, it’s not of much use to me. I wonder if I can trade it for essence energy,” Chen Yiming said in a low voice.
Gao Shuai nodded and said, “It’s a little difficult to make a trade in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. Any faction that accepts the treasured saber of the Little Roc King will offend the Roc clan if they use it.”
“The Gao clan’s business is not limited to the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. When the time comes, we can sell it to other galaxies of the same level. Even if the Roc clan finds out later, they won’t be able to do anything other than buy it back at a high price.”
Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up. He took out another divine artifact, the Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword. This was what he had obtained from killing one of the three blue-skinned men, the old man in the long robe.
“Uh, this is?”
Gao Shuai’s small eyes widened.
The divine artifact in front of him was notorious for being used by a powerful elder. Why had it suddenly fallen into Chen Yiming’s hands? Could it be?
When the old butler saw the Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword, he was dumbfounded.
Divine artifacts were also categorized into different grades. He had one of the worst quality ones on him. After many years of hard work, coupled with the fact that he was always by Gao Shuai’s side, he had been given that divine artifact.
However, Chen Yiming already had two divine artifacts in his hands. Furthermore, there was a hint of disdain on his face, as if he wasn’t satisfied.
Just as Chen Yiming was about to ask Gao Shuai about the amount of essence energy he could obtain in exchange for the two divine artifacts, the spaceship shook violently, and the artificial intelligence appeared on the screen.
“A space battle is breaking out three light-years ahead. The energy intensity has reached the level of a battle between gods at the first level. Do you want to change your path?”
The battle of gods at the first level meant that there were people at the level of the star condensation realm involved. The number of people involved could not be determined, but they did not reach the level of the jade star realm.
Chen Yiming looked up at Gao Shuai.
Gao Shuai closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again. “It has nothing to do with the pursuit. The spaceship accidentally triggered the other party’s warning system.”
This spaceship was the best of the best and had the ability to teleport.
However, they had actually accidentally triggered a warning system. Logically speaking, such a situation would not happen in a battle between gods. It was clear that things were not that simple.
Since it had nothing to do with the pursuit, Chen Yiming ignored it.
He could not wait to enter the abandoned world to find enough essence energy for the spiritual figure and his main body. Now that the level of his talents was high, it was not easy to accumulate sufficient Skill Points for further upgrades.
This was especially true for the spiritual figure. The Skill Points had been used by his main body first, and it was still at the fusion realm. Now, its level was not high enough to deal with the enemies.
Fortunately, although the human spaceships were heading towards the middle of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, their speed was far inferior to him, who could perform space jumps.
However, it was necessary to take precautions. He had to increase the strength of the spiritual figure as soon as possible. Otherwise, if anything happened, his main body would have to go over and rescue them.
He did not know how much time would be wasted on the round trip.
Gao Shuai thought for a moment and continued, “Most of the manufacturing technology for this spaceship came from the machine civilizations, although there will definitely not be anything left by them to spy on us.”
“However, since there’s a warning and this is just a battle between the gods, there’s a high chance that it involves the machine civilization.”
Chen Yiming said, “In that case, let’s just barge our way through. If they don’t know what’s good for them, we can just kill them. We’ve already circled out of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.”
Gao Shuai nodded and said, “We have indeed wasted a lot of time on the journey. What I want to say is that the machine civilization is one of the species that likes to stock essence energy the most.”
“Moreover, human technology is developing well, causing our relationship with the machine civilization to naturally not be so good. We can consider making a move.”
Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up.
What he was thinking about was about to happen. It was indeed as Gao Shuai had said. Due to the competition between the humans and the machine civilization, there was a natural hostility between them.
Unless humans gave up on developing their technology and took the path of pure individual cultivation, the level of competition would never decrease. It would only become more and more serious. It might even develop into a full-scale confrontation one day.
In that case, there was naturally no reason to let them off since they had encountered each other in the vast galaxy.
The face of the old butler twitched.
After his young master made friends with a strong fighter, he had completely let himself go.
It had to be known that with Gao Shuai’s special prophecy ability, the things he could see were definitely not at the level comparable to his own strength. He naturally felt powerless.
In addition, the Gao clan had started off with business. They could be said to be a large business clan at the level of the universe. Their influence extended out of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy and reached many other galaxies of the same level or even stronger.
Under normal circumstances, a large business clan like the Gao clan should prioritize peace and stability. It was the same for alien species that did not have a good relationship with humans.
They should not be thinking of snatching things by force just because they were strong.
