SWNOVELXO Chapter 471: 210. Five Phase Void Energy
In deep space, an endless fleet of fortress ships sails forth, like countless burning meteors streaking across the sky, threatening to completely engulf Earth.
Leading them is a gigantic pyramid-like ship, hundreds of kilometers tall, like a great peak in the cosmos.
Around it are numerous ships and fortresses, all serving as its entourage.
At only tens of millions of kilometers away, the many ship fortresses of the Nine-Star Civilization will soon crash into Earth's atmosphere.
Inside the grand hall of the enormous pyramid ship.
"Earth is right before us."
A man in a dark red robe sits high above, expressionlessly gazing at the figures below, and says, "According to the plan, we will explore all relics on the planet immediately. However, to prevent the relics from being affected, no one must harm Earth's life essence. Minimize slaughter as much as possible, and only capture the powerful figures of Earth Civilization."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
All the high-ranking officials and members of the royal family below respond in unison.
The man in the dark red robe nods slightly, satisfied.
As the Emperor of the Nine-Star Civilization, his power leaves him unafraid of Earth's civilization, even if it has developed a few strong figures, which pose no threat to him.
But he will eventually enter those relic spaces on Earth, and while absent, there's always a risk; even if people are sent to capture hostiles now, it won't eliminate all threats. That's why he's dispatched such a massive force from his homeland.
"One Eighth Rank spaceship, eleven Seventh Rank fortress spaceships, countless Sixth Rank units."
"Twenty-four Star Abyss Ninth Layer level powerhouse figures."
"Four of them are at the Ninth Layer Peak level, and the Blood Cauldron King is incredibly close to reaching the Star Abyss Tenth Layer, the strongest within our Nine Star Civilization, second only to me and the Ancestor."
"Even if I'm trapped in the ruins space, with the Blood Cauldron King leading, it will be enough to handle any situation."
As thoughts drift, the man in the dark red robe directs his gaze to the figure in a royal robe below.
A youth with long hair as red as blood, fair skin like jade, and nearly perfect features stands at the forefront of the many high officials and members of the royal family, showcasing his superior status.
The Emperor looks at the youth, hope evident in his gaze, and speaks, "Brother, during this Earth expedition, make sure to seize the opportunity, as it is your best chance to attain control over the Void."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Blood Cauldron King nods indifferently, and says, "Although most of Earth's relics require the presence of native inhabitants to enter, the Fifth Relic, the Silver Maze, and the Sixth Relic, the Bronze Demon Mountain, permit entry to outsiders. The Silver Maze emphasizes luck, while the Bronze Demon Mountain tests will. Even though the rewards for conquering the Bronze Demon Mountain are still unknown, with Your Majesty's spiritual will, you'll quickly be informed."
"Hmm." The Emperor's eyes reveal a touch of satisfaction.
Even though he sees the Blood Cauldron King as a potential heir to the throne, respecting him greatly, it's not only because the king has prospects to attain the Void but also due to his perceptiveness.
Actually, the Blood Cauldron King's spiritual will may not be inferior to his own, but treasures such as these are best explored by the Emperor, as nobody knows if the rewards could be limited.
"I'll go ahead and check for my brother."
The Emperor says with a faint smile, "Then, I'll leave the situation for my brother to stabilize."
The Blood Cauldron King nods slightly and says, "Rest assured, Your Majesty."
The princes and princesses below can only listen quietly, not daring to voice any opinions.
After all, even the current Emperor, before attaining control over the Void, was slightly inferior in combat power to the Blood Cauldron King.
Among the current princes and princesses, none are a match for the Blood Cauldron King.
In terms of seniority, only the revered Ancestor of the Nine Star Civilization surpasses the Blood Cauldron King, who has lived for over a million years.
"Prepare to enter Earth and begin to decelerate."
At this time, the prompt of the spacecraft's intelligent system echoes, making the walls and floor of the hall seem to disappear, immediately simulating a highly realistic external view.
Below, the blue planet can already be seen.
"Everyone, get ready to receive this treasure."
The Emperor stands, and his dark red robe flutters without wind.
The numerous royal officials below also look expectantly at Earth, as if they've already seen the treasure belonging to the second-level civilization.
Suddenly—
"Boom!"
From the edge of Earth's lightly glowing atmosphere, streaks of light suddenly shoot out.
Simultaneously, a cold voice resonates through the vibrations of energy, instantly echoing in space—
"I am the Councilman of the Star Patrol Council, and also the Earth Leader. As of this day, entry to Earth's airspace by any outsiders is forbidden!"
The Emperor, seated above, glances around, almost merging with the void, his telekinesis sweeping out instantly, then sneers: "Such lofty words, yet it turns out to be a mere youngster without even a Star-level Divine Position?"
The Blood Cauldron King also casts a glance and says, "Based on the information, it should be that Earth's genius, Lin Qing?"
The Emperor says indifferently, "Not worth mentioning, but the aura strength of those around him does have Star Abyss Ninth Layer standards, but they lack Divine Positions, seemingly puppets left behind by a second-level civilization? Really amazing."
"Puppets?" The Blood Cauldron King nods slightly, showing no surprise.
Though he hasn't visited a second-level civilization, he's had the fortune of conversing with citizens of second-level civilizations and naturally heard of such powerful wisdom puppets.
However, being so close to reaching the Star Abyss Tenth Layer, he doesn't mind a group of Star Abyss Ninth Layer puppets.
