Chapter 1232: Starfield War

The war was incredibly brutal, with blood spilling across the starry sky. When a Saint fell, it was accompanied by vast swathes of meteors burning up, turning into cosmic dust. Extreme Dao divine power erupted. As the Grand Saint of Fire Kirin Cave opened and closed his eyes, the universe itself seemed to tear, emitting two streaks of lightning, untold miles long. In his hand, he held a brilliant weapon, entirely blue and crystal clear, dazzlingly beautiful, radiating the surging might of an ancient Emperor.

This was the Kirin Staff, renowned throughout ancient times! Forged from Eternal Blue Gold, it shone brilliantly. The staff's tip bore a lifelike Kirin head, emanating overwhelming imperial might, as if the supreme sovereign of old had been resurrected. The Grand Saint of Fire Kirin Cave wielded it forward, striking towards the Eternal Homeworld at the forefront of the starfield, aiming to cleave this source of life in one blow. Brilliant blue light, like a cascading galaxy, vast and boundless, swept forth, instantly pulverizing swaths of spaceships, which were utterly defenseless.

A cold snort echoed. Dazzling, intense light cut through the blue radiance, surging against the imperial might. It arrived with extreme speed, surprisingly striking directly at the Kirin Staff! A clash of Extreme Dao powers unfolded. The Immortal Garment of the Eternal Homeworld appeared, the battle armor of an ancient deity, now worn by someone, engaged in battle with the Grand Saint of Fire Kirin Cave.

“That is the Immortal Garment of the God Daoyan, sacred and transcendent, capable of sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!” Exclamations arose from all corners of the Eternal Homeworld. This battle attire had been lost for tens of thousands of years, sought by everyone, yet it had emerged unexpectedly today.

This was a fierce grand collision. Both sides fought until the sun and moon lost their light and the star rivers dimmed. All ancient Saints fled desperately, avoiding the repercussions. Otherwise, those who stood in the way would be annihilated; nothing would remain where the aftermath of Extreme Dao divine power passed. Even the Grand Saint of Fire Kirin Cave, wielding the Kirin Staff, did not gain the upper hand. The Daoyan Divine Garment was both offensive and defensive, and the individual wearing it was also a Grand Saint, posing a significant threat to him. The two tore open the universe, wielding Extreme Dao immortal might, and fought deep into the starry void. Planets were constantly being cleaved apart, the intense combat chilling to the bone.

“Kill!” The Ancestor Kings of Beidou and the Saints of Eternal also launched an earth-shattering grand confrontation. The battle scene was magnificent and breathtaking.

“Slaughter all the sacred beasts! Don't let a single one escape, wipe them all out!” All the planets orbiting Eternal were war fortresses, defensive 'island chains' laid down tens of thousands of years ago, possessing offensive capabilities. These were ultimate weapons, combining Dao patterns and technology. Now, like primeval fierce beasts, they opened their menacing eyes, emanating boundless killing intent.

“Ah…” An Ancestor King bled, half of his body pierced through and profusely bleeding. Severely wounded, he was sent flying. Grand Dao weapons and sci-tech armaments swept across together. This was a blood-soaked starfield, where an unprecedented slaughter and clash unfolded. Blood flowed, the battle raged on, and planets burned!

“Pfft!” Another Ancestor King had half of his skull shattered, splattering crimson blood and white brain matter. His remaining eye turned a deathly gray, filled with unwillingness. Tens of thousands of stars were emitting beams of destruction, twisting this area into a death zone! Of course, the Eternal Starfield also suffered heavy losses. Although this was their main battlefield, with Grand Dao killing formations and numerous sci-tech weapons deployed, they still couldn't gain a complete advantage. The Ancestor Kings from Beidou were too powerful, and their numbers were not just a few, but a combined force from various races, their combat prowess terrifying and world-shaking. Planet after planet was cleaved open by the ancient Saints; deployed Dao marks were extinguished, weapons destroyed. As for the powerful individuals in mechs, many were torn to shreds, their blood staining the void. It was a brutal war! Both sides suffered severe losses. Ancestor Kings were Saint-level powerhouses, and the death of even one was devastating news for their respective races, a loss they could not afford. The war fortifications of the Eternal Starfield were the crystallization of many years of effort. Tens of thousands of stars had been built into fortresses, spread across this vast and expansive starfield. A battle of this scale was the most significant in 50,000 years; it was a grand collision between starfields!

“Ooooh…” The old Saint of the Great Strength Ox Demon Clan fought to a frenzy, manifesting his Dharma Idol ability. Instantly, he grew tens of thousands of feet tall, transforming into a massive black ox, trampling stars, goring the sun and moon with his horns, and galloping wildly through the universe! Its divine might was awe-inspiring. With every charge, it shattered asteroid after asteroid, destroying numerous war fortifications. On several occasions, it charged into larger planets, plunging deep into their cores, then with a violent struggle, split the entire planet into four or five pieces. It looked like a ferocious beast, capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, hatching from a gigantic egg, truly shocking. This was a sensational battle!

The powerful expert of the Shiwang Clan possessed boundless magical power. With a sweep of his gaze, numerous spaceships disintegrated, and with a lift of his hand, he destroyed war fortress after war fortress. This clan was hailed as the strongest in combat among the Ten Great Ancient King Clans, and not without reason. With an open mouth, he inhaled, swallowing several asteroids, causing the people of the Eternal Homeworld to tremble in fear.

“These sacred beasts are too ferocious! Activate all defenses, we must stop them!” The powerhouses of the Eternal Starfield cried out. This was a catastrophe; the combat strength of the foreign sacred beasts was unprecedentedly formidable. So many arriving together was an immense disaster. In terms of individual combat strength, they were inferior to the Ancient King Clans, and in terms of the number of Saint-level powerhouses, they were even more outmatched. What Eternal could rely on were the various war fortifications perfected over tens of thousands of years, transforming this starfield into a terrifying killing ground. Without these planets filled with destructive power, the gates of the Eternal Homeworld would have already been breached, and catastrophe would undoubtedly have descended.

“Ah…” An Ancestor King of the Yinmei Clan, confident in his exquisite movement technique that allowed him to traverse heaven and earth, and move between sun and moon, attempted to infiltrate the Eternal Homeworld's gates. However, he was simultaneously struck by eighteen divine lights, his body and spirit utterly destroyed. The Ancient King Clans felt a chill. It wasn't that their combat power was insufficient, but that this celestial domain was too terrifying. The generations of arrangements by the Eternal Homeworld were being utilized to their fullest extent at this moment, with even ancient Saints falling. The ancient clans finally understood why the people of the Eternal Homeworld hadn't attacked earlier: they had been waiting for this very day. Exposing these war fortifications too early to deal with potentially stronger reinforcements later would have been counterproductive.

“They were holding back, only truly showing their fangs today when our army arrived, intending to heavily damage us!”

“However, relying solely on these Grand Dao runes and Saint-level weapons, they can hardly stop us. To try and capture us all at once is a pipe dream. Let's slaughter them clean; once we break through, this ancient star will be finished!” The ancient clans charged forward, their eyes cold and ruthless, striking at the planets. Blood and destructive light flew simultaneously. The ferocity and tragedy of this battle surpassed everyone's imagination; neither side seemed to have realized just how strong the other was.

With a violent tremor, swathes of blood-red light erupted. A field of meteoric stars ahead completely exploded, and steel war fortresses and the like were reduced to scrap metal. A phoenix cry shook the heavens and earth. Crimson glow and divine patterns filled the sky. The Nine Phoenix King appeared, like a divine phoenix born from fire. His hair billowed, his eyes flashed with cold lightning, and with a lift of his hand, he swept away numerous defensive structures with crushing force.

“He broke through! Has the Nine Phoenix King broken through to the Grand Saint realm!?” someone from the ancient clans exclaimed, unable to help but glance sideways, witnessing his unparalleled combat power. With a phoenix cry, the Nine Phoenix King unleashed blood-red chains of order, like the feathers of an immortal phoenix, radiating immense divine might. He took strides of tens of thousands of feet. With a single punch, like a phoenix spreading its wings, a colossal firebird manifested behind him and plunged forward.

“Ah…” Screams followed. An incredibly massive planet was melted by him, turning into magma, then becoming cosmic dust. Two powerful figures burst out, engulfed in flames, their very spirits within their foreheads burning, letting out heart-wrenching screams. These were two ancient Saints, howling and struggling, completely devoid of hope. Their voices quickly weakened, and they turned into two charred remains, their divine consciousness utterly extinguished. The number of Saints in Eternal could not compare to Beidou's. Every ancient Saint was an Ancestor, critically important to a great clan. The immediate death of two at this moment was naturally a significant loss. Two great clans roared, their eyes red with fury.

“Has the Nine Phoenix King become a Grand Saint?”

“Not yet, he’s still just short of breaking through the barrier.”

The people of the ancient clans were also astonished. A powerhouse of the Nine Phoenix King's caliber had too great an impact on the battlefield; his combat power was immense, capable of sweeping through an entire area. And this invincible aura was even more lethal, chilling opponents to the bone.

“Kill! In this battle, we will annihilate all Saints of Eternal. We will fully descend and seize control of this star!” the Nine Phoenix King declared. He charged at the forefront, like a crimson, blood-soaked arrow, carrying an unstoppable momentum, sweeping across all the stars.

“Kill! The Eternal Homeworld is on the verge of destruction, unleash your full power!” Numerous Ancestor Kings responded, following behind, surging forward like a torrential flood. The Nine Phoenix King was the future master of Blood Phoenix Mountain, with incredible methods that made one's scalp tingle. No one could halt his advance. Furthermore, King Lin of Fire Kirin Cave, renowned alongside him, also arrived, unleashing a massacre and sweeping forward as if entering an unmanned territory. The Eternal Homeworld's various defensive fortifications were continuously dismantled, suffering heavy losses, with blood staining the universe red. The Eternal Homeworld also possessed powerhouses of this caliber, but they were outnumbered. In terms of the quantity of ancient Saints, they couldn't compare.

“These sacred beasts are too ferocious! With so many arriving together, we truly can’t stop them. What are we going to do?” The people of the Eternal Homeworld, witnessing the battle unfold on large screens, all trembled. The gushing blood and exploding war planets sent a chill down their spines.

“The original plan was to capture them all in one fell swoop, using countless war fortifications to slaughter them. But now, several vanguard figures who are close to becoming Grand Saints have emerged, breaking through our layered defenses, causing our efforts to fall short! Where are peerless experts like Luan Feng and Miluo? If they were here to resist, then figures like the Nine Phoenix King and King Lin among the sacred beasts would surely be halted; this wouldn't be happening.”

“The Sutuo Clan… it must be them colluding with the foreign sacred beasts. At this critical moment, they brought out the ancient Divine Skin Map, diverting some of Eternal's top experts, which led to this outcome. I have heard that it might even be at the instigation of the Nine Phoenix King among the sacred beasts.” The people of the Eternal Homeworld were terrified. The sacred beast army had arrived; their numbers weren't vast, but every single one was an ancient Saint, representing a destructive catastrophe. On the extraterrestrial battlefield, the forces of Eternal continuously retreated, completely unable to withstand the assault, quickly falling back.

“Is Heaven trying to destroy our Eternal Kingdom?” Terrified ordinary people, watching the battle unfold on large screens from their homes, all turned pale, feeling that the end of the world had arrived.

“That damned Tanmu Starfield! Why did an ancient tree of life appear at this very moment? Is our Eternal doomed?” Cries of lament rose everywhere.

Deep in the universe, Extreme Dao immortal might emanated. The Grand Saint of Fire Kirin Cave, wielding the Kirin Staff, battled his opponent. They had destroyed many ancient stars, and the star rivers dimmed, making it hard to discern a victor. This was a confrontation of Extreme Dao, a grand duel between two ancient Emperor-level supreme beings, spanning across time and space! In the universe, Huo Qilinzi stood in the void, his blue hair flowing, his expression utterly cold. He gazed at the Eternal Homeworld, anticipating the impending breakthrough, and a cold smile touched his lips. At the same moment, in the distant Tanmu Starfield, Dao Yi also looked back, as if wanting to pierce through the cosmic void, gaze past the star rivers, and fix his eyes upon Eternal.
