“Whoosh—”
On the great sea, the Tonggu Warship sped at extreme velocity.
Jun Changxiao had left the West Sea Spirit Province, just as he came in a hurry and left in a hurry, waving his hand and taking only various martial resources from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The bald man tied to the mast was currently full of shock.
A low-level, low-grade dimension actually had a flying warship—simply incredible!
These subordinates of the Star Navigator King didn’t have the ability to Shatter the Void and traverse the universe. They completely relied on the void warship their master had purchased at great expense.
“Big Brother…” A companion tied beside him said in a low voice: “This warship probably also has the function to traverse the universe, right?”
The bald man said gravely: “Judging from the aura and materials, it’s completely no less than Boss’s warship. As long as there’s a sufficiently powerful energy source, it should be able to traverse.”
If Jun Changxiao heard their conversation, he’d definitely be extremely interested, but unfortunately he didn’t hear it because he was standing at the bow thinking about things.
“Your wife is in danger.”
The system said: “Still not hurrying to rescue her?”
“…”
Jun Changxiao roared: “We only had a fake marriage!”
“Okay, okay, fake marriage.”
The system returned to the main topic, saying: “The Star Navigator King is powerful and has been robbing and plundering for years. With Soul Clan Continent targeted by him, they’ll probably have big trouble.”
“They’ve been attacking and occupying other dimensions for years. Now being robbed by others is karmic retribution.” Jun Changxiao said.
“Makes sense.”
The system didn’t deny it.
Soul Clan Continent, due to environmental and innate divine ability factors, was destined to survive by occupying other dimensions. Now falling victim to others’ bullying, they certainly couldn’t claim to be very wronged.
“Moreover.”
Jun Changxiao said: “The Star Navigator King’s strength is comparable to a Martial Emperor. Even if I went to help, I’d just get brutalized.”
If that guy was similar to the bald man, he might go to Soul Clan Continent—not to help Rose Empress, but to rob.
“The host is very rational.”
The system said: “However, have you considered that after the Star Navigator King deals with Soul Clan Continent, he’ll definitely come deal with Xingyun Continent? From a certain perspective, you and Rose Empress are now on the same front, both facing the same enemy.”
“Doesn’t matter.”
Jun Changxiao said: “There are still nine Martial Emperors.”
“I don’t believe that with foreign forces invading and bringing destructive disaster, they’ll sit by and do nothing!”
Gou Sheng never portrayed himself as a great hero who saves the world. If he couldn’t resist in the face of absolute power, he’d happily hand it over to people with greater strength and ability to solve, choosing to protect himself.
“Sorry.”
The system said: “The nine Martial Emperors probably won’t intervene.”
“Why?” Jun Changxiao said.
The system said: “That compass-like treasure the host just obtained, I’ve analyzed it. Not only can it spy on the dimension’s martial artists’ strength, it can also roughly lock onto specific locations.”
“Oh?”
Jun Changxiao took out the compass.
On the mirror-like pattern, densely packed light points flickered, colors ranging from pale white to deep red.
The system said: “The nine deep red points are Xingyun Continent’s current strongest realm, should be the nine Martial Emperors.”
“Why do they keep jumping? Why are they separated individually?” Jun Changxiao said.
The system said: “Because they’re not on Xingyun Continent.”
“Not here?”
Jun Changxiao looked completely surprised.
The system said: “I was very puzzled at first why, when Xingyun Continent was designated to enter the Dimensional Battlefield, no Martial Emperors came forward to stabilize people’s hearts. Now I finally understand—they’re not here.”
“Where did they go?”
“How would I know.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao fell into contemplation.
The nine Martial Emperors were Xingyun Continent’s strongest combat power.
If they weren’t here, when some damn Navigator King came, there’d definitely be no one who could stop him.
“There is.”
The system said: “There’s still the host.”
Jun Changxiao roared: “I’m not even at Martial Saint Great Perfection, and you want me to fight a Martial Emperor? Isn’t that seeking death?”
The system said: “The host worked so hard to build a sect on Xingyun Continent, about to reach the strongest ranks. Can you really stand to see it destroyed by others?”
“No!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes turned cold.
The main quest was to make the sect become Xingyun Continent’s strongest. If this dimension was gone, wouldn’t he just have to sit and wait for the soul bomb to explode?
“So!” The system said: “Even if not for the world’s common people, for the host himself, for the sect’s disciples, you must fight once. A dignified seven-foot-tall man should have a heart full of passion!”
“How should I fight?”
“Open the advanced shop refresh, turn on the hacks to God-Slaying Immortal-Killing mode!”
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao cursed: “When you get down to it, you’re still coaxing me to spend contribution points. You have so many tricks!”
“Ding! Main quest triggered.”
Suddenly, a clear notification sound rang in his ear, and Gou Sheng was completely stunned.
In the past, it was either side quests or epic quests. This time, it was actually a main quest!
Jun Changxiao hastily opened the data panel and discovered another main quest had been added below the main quest, so he clicked on the detailed introduction.
Main Quest [Two].
Quest Details: The Star Navigator King will bring catastrophic destruction to Xingyun Continent, which will affect Main Quest [One]’s completion progress. The host must prevent this.
Quest Conditions: Defeat/Kill the Star Navigator King.
Quest Failure: Xingyun Continent falls.
Quest Penalty: Failure to complete Main Quest Two or if Xingyun Continent falls, the soul bomb will detonate immediately.
Quest Reward: ???
After reading the Main Quest Two details similar to an epic quest, Jun Changxiao sat down, hands interlaced, expression grave as he said: “I can’t protect myself alone anymore.”
“Obviously.”
The system said: “When this kind of interstellar bandit arrives, the entire continent will face devastation. How can the host achieve the strongest sect?”
“Moreover.”
“This is a main quest!”
“After the host completes it, the reward given will definitely be more generous than epic quests!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao stood up, eyes cold: “Then let’s fight!”
The system said: “Hurry to Soul Clan Continent to find your wife and join forces. Maybe you can deal with that guy.”
“Whoosh—”
The Tonggu Warship went full speed, transforming into a streak of light as it flew away. Along the way, natural disasters encountered were personally destroyed by Jun Changxiao, then returning to the Eternal Ages Sect.
The bald man and his subordinates were all imprisoned. Because there were too many people, they specially opened quite a few prison cells.
“Holy crap!”
Zhao Doudou stood at the iron window, surprised: “So many cellmates all at once!”
…
Jun Changxiao left the matter of settling the prisoners to Young Master Yuan and the disciples. He now stood outside Eternal Ages City, at the area where the space-time tunnel had been blocked.
He didn’t plan to bring disciples, because the opponent was too strong.
“Cuihua.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Open the passage.”
“Yes!”
Cuihua opened her mouth and bit open the sealed tunnel.
“Swish! Swish!”
Master and servant drilled in, advancing at maximum speed, and after several days once again set foot on Soul Clan Continent.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
However, flying out from the newly bitten entrance, deafening battle sounds reverberated in the firmament. The surrounding space fractured in large swathes, the entire world seeming to be torn apart.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, a streak of light plummeted at extreme speed from high altitude, shaking the ground within a hundred-mile radius until it cracked, forming a crater like a huge lake.
The one who fell was Rose Empress!
She half-knelt on the ground, the green battle armor she wore already broken in many places, her three thousand black hair scattered in disarray, the exposed half of her face pale to the extreme.
“Whoosh!”
High in the sky, light flickered.
A tall, slender man with the character for “Handsome” engraved on his forehead stood with hands behind his back, laughing: “In a place where birds don’t shit, you can still cultivate to a strength infinitely close to Shattering the Void. You woman are quite something.”
“…”
Rose Empress’s eyes were bloodshot, her heart bleeding.
“What a pity.”
The Handsome character man raised his hand, his fingers lightly rubbing together. A seemingly transparent spear coalesced, saying: “Today you still must die.”
“Whoosh—”
The spear, containing terrifying power, shot down from above.
Rose Empress knew she couldn’t escape doom. The corners of her bleeding mouth turned up in a slight smile, her body releasing points of green light, like fireflies.
“Going to self-destruct?”
The Handsome character man sneered: “Futile struggle.”
“Ding—”
Just then, a streak of light broke through the air from the distance, crashing heavily into the spear, causing it to change its falling trajectory, then with a boom it fell on distant ground, instantly producing a huge explosion.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Wild wind howled, accompanied by rolling dust.
Rose Empress, who was preparing to self-destruct, raised her head with difficulty and discovered a spear flickering with seven-colored flowing light stuck in front of her.
This was…
“Swish!”
A crimson red cloak appeared in her vision. A familiar back stood before her, his right fist gradually becoming steel, then with a “crack” grasped the spear shaft.
“It’s you…”
Rose Empress looked completely incredulous.
Jun Changxiao pulled out the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Dominating Heaven Spear, looked up at the Handsome character man, and said indifferently: “Her death, I don’t agree to.”
