“Incredible!”
Inside Array Formation Hall, Old Man Taixuan held a magnifying glass, bending down and meticulously examining each piece of the disassembled mecha. The shock in his heart grew increasingly intense.
“A work of art!”
Fan Yezi stroked a screw with his hand, exclaiming in admiration, “A perfect work of art!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao sitting on the side shook his head.
Having frequently seen this type of technological product in anime or movies, he naturally wouldn’t make a big fuss.
“You two.”
Jun Changxiao asked, “Can you replicate it?”
“Very difficult.”
Old Man Taixuan and Fan Yezi said in unison.
Actually, both of them wanted to replicate it, but their capabilities simply didn’t allow it.
“Study it slowly.”
Jun Changxiao said, “No rush.”
Gou Sheng also didn’t expect that after disassembling the mecha today, they could produce a replica tomorrow. After all, technology and martial dao had too many differences and required extensive time to comprehend.
The appearance of Xiaotian Demon Slayer brought inspiration to Old Man Taixuan and Fan Yezi, broadening their cognition. Even if they couldn’t bear to burn spirit stones to activate it in the future, just leaving it here for their research was worthwhile.
Poor Jing Zhixiao.
Having just had a taste of excitement, his mecha was dismantled into pieces.
So much so that when cleaning the latrines, whenever he recalled the disassembly scene, tears streamed down like rain, his heart aching with grief.
…
“Beep beep beep!”
“Beep beep beep!”
Inside the Eternal Vessel’s cockpit, frequent alert sounds rang out.
On the starry sky map, numerous light dots gathered, crisscrossing and covering a large expanse of the universe.
“Sect Master.”
Shangguan Xinyao said, “Are they searching for us?”
“Mm.”
Jun Changxiao leaned back in his seat, swirling his wine glass, saying, “Having successively lost so many fleets, the Demon Emperor will definitely take action.”
“Fortunately, we discovered the transmitter hidden inside the Eternal Vessel in advance. Otherwise, we’d probably be surrounded by now.” Shangguan Xinyao said.
“Indeed.”
Jun Changxiao’s current situation was equivalent to himself in the shadows while the warships dispatched by the Demon Emperor were in the open. As long as he deliberately avoided them, he definitely wouldn’t be intercepted.
This was precisely why he dared to take action repeatedly. Otherwise, he would have long since hidden in Eternal Realm to develop.
“Don’t let them discover us.”
Jun Changxiao ordered, “Continue firing one shot and changing locations.”
“Yes!”
In the following period, the Eternal Vessel wandered through Cangyun System like a phantom, never engaging in direct confrontation with the Demon Emperor’s main forces, occasionally encountering stragglers and annihilating them.
Gradually.
The captured warships exceeded one hundred.
Gathered in Eternal Realm, they formed a magnificent and spectacular scenery.
Array Formation Hall members worked overtime for modifications, then named them separately after disciples.
The Demon Emperor’s side repeatedly and timely delivered high-grade warships, undoubtedly making sufficient preparations for the subsequent massive fleet group descending upon Star Spirit Realm.
Of course.
They weren’t fools.
Gradually realizing their warships kept being stolen, they successively became more cautious.
The more cautious the enemy, the fewer opportunities. Jun Changxiao continuously adjusted strategies, consistently avoiding capture by them, sometimes hiding for several months at a time.
Through repeatedly targeting the Demon Emperor and preserving other planes from destruction, the three words “Eternal Sect” began spreading through Cangyun System, even being regarded as a great savior and great hero by many planes.
However.
Not all planes could be saved by Jun Changxiao.
In just half a year, planes tragically suppressed by the Demon Emperor numbered as many as ten, and the number would continue rising.
“My apologies.”
The Eternal Vessel hovered outside a destroyed plane. Jun Changxiao stood in the cockpit, saying helplessly, “I very much want to be the great hero who saves the universe, but my capabilities are truly limited…”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Just then, from the endless dark universe, several streams of light suddenly shot out, like intercontinental missiles locking onto the Eternal Vessel, charging forward with space-tearing speed.
Shangguan Xinyao hurriedly adjusted direction. The massive warship instantly performed an extreme evasion maneuver.
“Were we discovered by the Demon Emperor?”
This was Jun Changxiao’s first thought, but looking toward the region where the streams of light came from, he discovered three masked black-clad individuals emerging from the universe, walking forward. From their forms, they should be human.
“Sigh.”
The black-clad masked person walking at the front sighed, “Still a step too late.”
“A plane destroyed just like that—truly devoid of conscience.” The warrior on the right said coldly, killing intent gradually permeating around him.
“Therefore.”
The warrior on the left drew his sword from its sheath, pointing toward the Eternal Vessel, saying, “This kind of heinously evil behavior must be punished by us.”
The three of them spoke one after another, making Jun Changxiao immediately understand—he was being mistaken as having destroyed the plane and even recognized as a lackey of the Demon Emperor.
“Don’t misunderstand.”
Gou Sheng explained, “This plane wasn’t destroyed by this Seat.”
“Daring to act but not admit it?” The sword-wielding black-clad person sneered coldly.
“This Seat didn’t do it, so why should I admit it?” Jun Changxiao replied indifferently.
“Whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter anymore, because…” The sword-wielding man’s gaze turned cold as several sword qi shot forth. Wherever they passed, space was sliced with deep, long sword marks!
“Sect Master!”
Shangguan Xinyao exclaimed in shock, “Can’t dodge it!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Just then, cosmic space suddenly exploded!
The incoming sword qi was completely destroyed. Jun Changxiao, with flowing long hair, stood within, saying coldly, “Are you all blind? Can’t you see ‘Eternal Sect’ carved on top?”
Though the Eternal Vessel’s form was similar to the Demon Emperor’s warships, it was after all carved with the three large characters ‘Eternal Sect.’ Moreover, he had recently been causing trouble for the other party and saved quite a few planes. Anyone with a bit of brains and intelligence wouldn’t mistake it, right?
“Feigning to be a sect, committing heinous acts.” The leading warrior said indifferently, “The Demon Emperor is capable of this.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao cursed in his heart, “Really no brains or intelligence!”
“Everyone.”
The leading warrior said, “Since we’ve encountered this, we should follow the alliance’s covenant and eliminate evil on behalf of heaven!”
Once these words came out, the other two agreed and erupted with their cultivation.
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao cursed, “Just who are you people!”
The leading warrior raised a gold-inlaid token with the character ‘Night’ carved on it, saying, “Night King Alliance!”
“Night King Alliance?”
Jun Changxiao struggled to recall matters concerning the upper universe that Uncle Gu had once explained to him, finally concluding—he had never heard of it!
“Whoosh!”
Just then, the sword-wielding warrior pressed forward.
Endless sword qi shot forth like meteors from different directions. From the sword momentum alone, it was enough to match the Celestial Secret Realm!
“This Seat hates being misunderstood the most!” Jun Changxiao summoned the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, his gaze cold: “Even if you’re enemies of the Demon Emperor!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Blade light flashed, all sword qi shattered.
“This kid’s strength isn’t weak.” The leading warrior said in surprise.
The warrior beside him said, “Since the Demon Emperor dares to dominate the upper universe, his lackeys are naturally extraordinary. In dealing with these evil types, we need not concern ourselves with proper conduct.”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
The two circled around from the sides.
From their bursting auras, they were evidently also at the Celestial Secret Realm!
One against three.
This is getting interesting.
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s face was speechless.
Guarding against everything, he hadn’t been found by the Demon Emperor, yet ended up intercepted by some turtle alliance. Most unacceptable was being mistaken as that guy’s lackey.
Fine!
Then let’s fight!
