Chapter 206 - 235: Immortal Pirate Ship! Star Robed Elder! Divine Thoughts Descend, Crushed by One Palm
In the eyes of the green-robed, middle-aged man...
A colossal, silvery-white vessel speckled with brilliant silver dots had abruptly appeared in the sky!
There had been no warning whatsoever.
The massive vessel blotted out a large portion of the sun, casting the small city into shadow.
At this moment, it wasn’t just the green-robed man who noticed the anomaly in the sky; many people walking on the streets sensed it as well.
They stopped in their tracks and looked up one after another.
"What is that?"
"Why did a silver vessel suddenly appear in the sky? Is it one of our Great Xia’s ships?"
"Something’s not right! I’m getting a bad feeling from this vessel—it seems they’ve come with ill intent!"
...
The crowd chattered in small groups. Some of the younger pedestrians were merely curious, whispering amongst themselves as they stared at the vessel in the sky.
But some of the Martial Artists who had lived through bloody turmoil wore expressions that gradually grew solemn.
Inside a city tavern.
Several Martial Artists from the Demon-slaying Bureau, who were leisurely drinking tea, also noticed the strange behavior of the pedestrians on the street.
"What’s going on?"
A middle-aged Martial Artist from the Demon-slaying Bureau, who seemed to be the leader, heard the commotion. His eyelid twitched, and he turned his head.
His gaze fell upon the pedestrians craning their necks, and he immediately frowned.
Beside him sat a young man in a Black Robe, who now also wore a curious expression.
His seat was very close to the window.
"I’ll go take a look."
He simply put down the Jade Cup in his hand, walked to the window, and looked up at the sky.
But the next moment, he froze as if he had seen something terrifying. He remained stunned for three or four full breaths before speaking with a trembling voice.
"Brother... Brother Hong! Y-You have to come see this!"
At the young man’s urgent shout, all five Martial Artists from the Demon-slaying Bureau, including the middle-aged man, turned grim!
WHOOSH!
In an instant, the few of them flashed out of the private room.
The dim light scattered down upon them.
They looked up.
Instantly, their pupils constricted!
Meanwhile, aboard the silver vessel.
An old man wearing a silver Star Robe stood at the prow of the ship, his hands clasped behind his back.
Hearing the commotion from the small city below, he slowly lowered his gaze.
He looked at the city’s inhabitants with an indifferent gaze.
It was the look one would give a swarm of ants.
Just then, a man in a green robe walked up beside him and spoke respectfully, "Third Elder!"
"This is the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Mm."
The old man nodded nonchalantly, his expression unchanged.
Then, he asked in a cold tone, "Is the Blood Refining Bottle ready?"
"Reporting to the Elder, it is ready."
"Good."
The old man replied casually.
Then.
His entire body began to float slowly into the air.
Down in the city, the moment the middle-aged Martial Artist from the Demon-slaying Bureau saw the Star Robed Elder, his face changed dramatically!
’This old man’s Cultivation...’
To his senses, the man’s Cultivation was like the Nether Abyss—utterly unfathomable!
Before he could even react.
The next moment, the Star Robed Elder was standing high amidst the clouds.
His eyes were downcast.
Slowly, he extended a right hand.
In a flash, a giant palm shimmering with brilliant starlight, like a mountain range spanning the sky, blasted away the surrounding clouds!
It descended upon the city!
BOOM!
...
BOOM!
In a remote town, Zhang Wei, brandishing a black Treasure Saber, swung it fiercely, clashing violently with a member of the Black Lotus Sect!
When the two long sabers collided.
The sound was like a clap of thunder!
After the exchange, Zhang Wei’s expression soured. His arm trembled slightly, and he was forced back three steps, clearly somewhat outmatched.
His Martial Arts Cultivation was a bit low, only at the Qi Sea Realm Fifth Layer, while his opponent was at the Qi Sea Realm Eighth Layer. He was weaker by a fair margin.
Battles like this had already erupted all over the Black Lotus Sect’s hideout.
"Die!"
At a certain moment, the Black Lotus Sect member opposite Zhang Wei used some sort of Secret Technique, his aura surging in power!
He roared and charged at Zhang Wei!
The frigid gleam of his blade bloomed like a full moon, its silver light blinding!
Su Bai naturally noticed this. He glanced at the man and enveloped him in a wisp of the Power of Divine Thought.
In an instant, he suppressed the man, causing his movements to freeze!
Zhang Wei seized the opportunity, lunged forward, and put all his strength into his right arm, executing a horizontal slash!
Blood gushed like a waterfall!
The Black Lotus Sect member’s eyes went wide as he fell into a pool of his own blood, his life completely extinguished.
With Su Bai’s covert help, the battle quickly came to an end.
The members of the Black Lotus Sect were either killed or captured; not a single one was allowed to escape.
At this point.
This hideout of the Black Lotus Sect was considered completely eradicated.
After the battle, everyone began to clean up the scene and commence rescue operations.
The Black Lotus Sect had set up a dark catacomb here, where they imprisoned many young boys and girls, as well as some strong young men and beautiful women.
Inside the catacombs.
There was also a lot of dripping flesh and Blood Bones, as well as sacrificial altars, Tripod Furnaces, and other blood-soaked objects.
"Brother Su Bai!"
While cleaning up the scene, Zhang Wei felt a sense of relief about the recent battle and was about to say something to Su Bai.
He turned his head, only to see Su Bai frowning, seemingly lost in thought.
At that moment, Su Bai’s Divine Thoughts had spread to their utmost limit and had already sensed the events unfolding at the border.
’The Immortal Pirate Ship?’
Aboard that silver vessel, Su Bai’s Divine Thoughts perceived a silver flag where three words had been inscribed in golden blood.
Upon noticing the Star Robed Elder’s actions, Su Bai’s expression changed slightly.
He immediately split off a Divine Thought Incarnation, which instantly teleported and sped towards the border.
...
「On the Endless Sea.」
A colossal black ship was cutting through the waves.
At the ship’s bow, the three leaders of the Celestial Blood Thieves all looked somewhat pale.
The purple-haired fat man, in particular, seemed gravely injured; his head was bowed slightly, and his fingers were trembling faintly.
"Damn it! That Nine Sword True Master from the Immortal Slaughter Bureau actually had another breakthrough. Otherwise, with our strength, how could we have been injured!?"
the burly, red-haired man said with a dark expression.
But the grand leader of the Celestial Blood Thieves spoke calmly, "Our skills were simply inferior."
He then recalled the terrifying might of the Nine Sword True Master and couldn’t help but sigh. "His talent is truly formidable. To think he has cultivated the Nine Swords Divine Techniques to such a profound Realm!"
"He has almost surpassed the scope of Entering the Saint Realm."
The three of them continued their conversation for a moment.
The purple-haired fat man suddenly spoke up, "Big Brother!"
"Those people from the Immortal Pirate Ship came to us for information on the Great Xia Dynasty before. Could it be..."
Like them, the Immortal Pirate Ship was a Demon faction on the Endless Sea. In terms of true strength, the Immortal Pirate Ship was a notch weaker than them.
Not long ago, the Immortal Pirate Ship left the Endless Sea and joined the Third Prince’s faction.
"Your guess is correct."
The white-robed young man said with a smile, "Those people have chosen to side with the Third Prince."
"Therefore, when facing that Great Sect Elder who possesses Royal Family blood and is eligible to compete for the throne, it’s only natural for them to test the waters and curry some favor."
"Then should we..." The purple-haired fat man’s eyes flickered. He hesitated, leaving his sentence unfinished.
He had been coveting that Supreme Treasure, the Blood Refining Bottle, for a long time.
"No rush. Let them do the probing first."
"We’ll bide our time."
"Oh, right." At this point, the white-robed young man added, "I left a trace of my aura on the Immortal Pirate Ship earlier."
"Activate that trace of aura and use the Painting Revelation Divine Techniques. Let’s observe this battle."
"Alright!"
The purple-haired fat man agreed in a deep voice.
Then, a wisp of blood-red light emanated from his fingertip, activating the trace of aura.
The bloody light gathered before them, gradually blooming.
Then, the wisp of bloody light, now concentrated to its limit,
abruptly exploded!
A vivid image materialized before the three of them.
Meanwhile, at the border of the Imperial Dynasty.
The Star Robed Elder, ignoring the despairing screams of the people in the small city, extended his giant palm, which was wreathed in starlight.
He uprooted the entire small city!
Holding it in the palm of his hand.
Inside the violently shaking city, countless people’s pupils constricted, their hearts filled with terror!
They pressed themselves to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
And those few Martial Artists from the Demon-slaying Bureau were also stunned into place.
To grab an entire city with one hand!
Such divine might!
What kind of terrifying expert was this?
It was simply unimaginable!
High amidst the clouds.
The Star Robed Elder faced the vessel and crooked his finger.
In the next instant, a blood-red Jade Bottle floated slowly toward him.
This was the Supreme Treasure of the Immortal Pirate Ship, called the Blood Refining Bottle.
Its greatest function was Blood Refining and Condensing Pill!
Just as he was about to use the Blood Refining Bottle to refine the living beings of the city,
suddenly!
He seemed to sense something, and his expression changed in alarm!
RUMBLE—
The next moment, a golden giant palm of unimaginable terror descended from the heavens.
Between its five fingers, Golden Dragons soared and danced.
Roaring and bellowing!
In the blink of an eye.
The clouds scattered, and it blotted out the sky and sun!
It lunged for him ferociously!
"Indestructible Star!"
The old man’s face was filled with shock. He immediately unleashed his strongest technique, his body erupting with boundless starlight as if he had transformed into a star itself.
His Physique was drastically enhanced!
However.
With a tremendous BANG!
The golden giant palm directly tore his body apart.
It was an utterly crushing blow!
Furthermore, it snatched the city away, holding it in its own palm.
The Star Robed Elder coughed up blood repeatedly as he was sent flying backward!
He fought through the excruciating pain, his eyes filled with terror, his Heart Spirit horrified!
A tide of fear surged through his heart.
Like a waterfall crashing across the sky!
The next moment.
He wanted to immediately use a Secret Technique to escape.
Su Bai looked down on him from above with a cold and indifferent gaze.
He struck out with his palm once more!
Amidst a miserable, shrill scream.
A golden Palm Seal shot across the sky!
Under the bright sun, it crushed him with a single blow!
In an instant.
A rain of blood fell!
