Chapter 890 Empresses of Other Constellations
Jiang Yulan's face was ashen, and her voice trembled.
"Owner!!!"
"There are just too many of those things!!!"
Her gaze was fixed on the blood-red light that was slowly brightening in the distance, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, but his movements did not stop at all.
Those black tentacles continued to frantically absorb the blood-red giant's energy, peeling it away and devouring it bit by bit.
"Buzz—!!!"
In the distance, in the darkness, countless blood-red lights are slowly lighting up.
One, two, three...
Ten, a hundred, a thousand...
In the blink of an eye, countless blood-red stars lit up the darkness, as dazzling as the Milky Way!
"hiss--!!!"
Jiang Yulan and the others gasped as they watched this scene.
Their faces turned deathly pale instantly.
"How could there be... so many..."
Ji Changyue's voice trembled slightly.
Her gaze swept across the blood-red ocean of stars, noticing their sheer number—
There are simply too many to count!!!
There are at least tens of thousands of eyes!!!
Each one exuded an extremely terrifying aura!
"Owner……"
Yao Suyun's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
Lin Qiye stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on the blood-red sea of stars.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"withdraw."
Lin Qiye did not hesitate at all, his voice as cold as frost.
As soon as the words fell—
"Buzz—!!!"
He suddenly tightened his grip, and the black tentacles snapped shut!
"roar--!!!"
The blood-red giant let out a shrill roar, its body twisting wildly as its tentacles lashed out frantically!
"boom--!!!"
In the next instant, its entire body exploded, turning into countless streams of pure energy, which were completely devoured by Lin Qiye!
"call--"
Lin Qiye let out a long breath, and his aura rose again.
Although it only managed to absorb a small portion of the energy, that was enough.
"Walk!!!"
He roared and grabbed Jiang Yulan's wrist.
Jiang Yulan felt a surge of immense power enter her body, lifting her up.
"Sisters!! Follow Master!!!"
Her voice echoed in the void.
Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, and the others followed Lin Qiye without hesitation.
"boom--!!!"
Lin Qiye's figure transformed into a streak of dark golden light, carrying ten female war goddesses as they sped back the way they came!
The speed was off the charts!!!
So fast it left a dazzling trail behind it!!!
"roar--!!!"
Behind them, countless roars rose and fell in the blood-red ocean of stars.
They seemed to have sensed their prey's escape and roared angrily.
"hiss--!!!"
Countless blood-red figures surged out of the darkness, chasing after Lin Qiye and the others!
The figures were so numerous and dense, like a swarm of locusts, that they blotted out the sky!
"Master!! They're catching up!!!"
Ji Changyue's voice carried a hint of anxiety.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"Buzz—!!!"
He suddenly turned around, and his aura surged dramatically!
"Blood Demon Domain—"
His voice was as cold as frost.
"seal up!!!"
"boom--!!!"
An invisible barrier suddenly formed behind him, blocking all the pursuers!
Those crimson figures crashed into the barrier with a deafening roar, yet they couldn't break through even an inch!
"Walk!!!"
Lin Qiye roared and continued speeding forward.
……
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Qiye finally led the ten female war goddesses out of that strange space and back to the cross passage they had just crossed.
"call--"
Jiang Yulan let out a long breath, her face still somewhat pale.
"Master...we escaped..."
Lin Qiye released her wrist and glanced at the ten female war goddesses.
Although they were still shaken, they were all unharmed.
"Luckily, I made it in time."
He murmured softly.
If they had arrived any later, those terrifying beings would likely have completely engulfed them.
"Owner……"
Jiang Yulan stepped forward, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"That's terrifying..."
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"This body is extremely large, and the energy it contains is unimaginable. Over the long years, its body inevitably decayed and deteriorated. And these creatures feed on its flesh and blood, parasitizing its body."
He paused.
"Moreover, their numbers are constantly increasing. As long as this body exists, they will continue to reproduce and evolve."
Jiang Yulan and the others' expressions became even more solemn.
Tens of thousands of interstellar war god-level beings!!!
Even a powerhouse at the level of a Human King would tremble at the sight of such a number of enemies!
Yao Suyun nodded: "Fortunately, our master was wise and retreated in time. Otherwise, we would probably all have perished inside."
Jiang Yulan's gaze fell on Lin Qiye, her eyes flashing with fanatical light.
"Master, did you already sense those things?"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the darkness in the distance.
"I sensed it when that blood-red giant appeared."
His voice was calm, yet carried a hint of solemnity.
"The parasites have an extremely eerie aura; they've been lurking in the shadows, watching us. If I insist on continuing the fight, it will likely only bring more trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yulan and the others felt a wave of fear wash over them.
If their owner hadn't discovered it in time, they would probably have been overwhelmed by those terrifying parasites long ago.
"Thanks to Master..."
Jiang Yulan's voice was choked with emotion.
"If it weren't for our master, we would have died countless times over."
Lin Qiye turned around and looked at her.
"You're welcome."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of warmth.
"I brought you here, so naturally I must get you out of here safely."
Jiang Yulan's eyes reddened slightly.
She could sense the sincerity in her master's words.
This feeling of being protected warmed her heart.
"Owner……"
She called out softly.
Lin Qiye reached out and gently patted her shoulder.
"Rest well and consolidate your cultivation."
His voice was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of concern.
Jiang Yulan nodded emphatically: "Yes, Master!"
"Master, what's next..."
Yao Suyun asked.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on the huge silhouette in the distance.
The mysterious body nailed to the cross still stands there, like an eternal deity.
"Things here are much more complicated than I imagined."
He murmured softly.
He turned around and looked at the ten female warriors.
"Now is not the time to delve deeper."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"You've just absorbed a lot of energy and need time to consolidate it. Besides, there are too many parasites; we're not strong enough to deal with them right now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yulan and the others nodded in agreement.
"I understand."
……
In the following time, Jiang Yulan and the others began to consolidate the energy they had just absorbed into their bodies.
Lin Qiye stood quietly to the side, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the power slowly rising within his body.
Although he only absorbed a small portion of the blood-red giant's energy, it still made his foundation more solid.
The power of the Blood Demon also became purer and stronger.
Just then—
"Buzz—"
From the darkness behind Lin Qiye and the others, a group of a hundred people slowly emerged.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man who exuded an extremely powerful aura.
His aura was as deep as an abyss; although he was only at the peak of the Interstellar War God realm, he gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Beside him stood a voluptuous and beautiful woman, who also exuded an aura of interstellar war god-like power.
"Is this the site where the Protoss conducted their experiments beyond the level of Kings?"
The middle-aged man's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"We never thought we'd finally found this place after searching for so long."
His gaze fell on the massive silhouette in the distance, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
"That terrifying giant made up of planets must be an experimental product cultivated by the Protoss."
He muttered to himself, his voice tinged with excitement.
"If we can find the secret here, perhaps we can find a way to resolve the Hydra crisis."
The beautiful woman nodded: "You are right, sir. Hydra is in imminent danger and could be destroyed at any moment. If we can obtain the secrets here, perhaps you could become the second human king after the great emperor! Then not only could the crisis of Hydra be completely resolved, but you could even become another savior of humanity..."
Her gaze swept around and suddenly landed on Lin Qiye and the others in front of her.
"Sir...sir..."
Her voice suddenly faltered, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.
The middle-aged man followed her gaze, and his expression instantly turned serious.
He also saw Lin Qiye and the others.
Ten women surrounded a man who stood with his hands behind his back, each emanating an extremely powerful aura.
That aura—
They're at least at the level of interstellar war gods!
and--
The man standing with his hands behind his back showed no aura whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary person.
But the more this was the case, the more uneasy he felt.
"Who are you people?"
The middle-aged man's voice was somewhat solemn, and his gaze was fixed on Lin Qiye.
Jiang Yulan and the others also stopped cultivating and stood up, looking at the newcomers warily.
There was no fear in their eyes, only indifference.
It's like looking at a group of ants.
Upon seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes.
Her gaze swept over the ten female warriors, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Only ten people?"
She murmured softly, her voice tinged with disdain.
"My lord, I will capture them immediately."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly: "Be careful. Anyone who can appear here is probably not simple—"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the beautiful woman.
"You're overthinking it, sir."
The beautiful woman gave a cold laugh.
"They only have ten people on the other side, while we have a hundred. Even if they are strong, what can they do?"
Her gaze fell on Jiang Yulan and the others, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Ten female warriors at the late-stage Star Wars level!!!
And they're all so beautiful!!!
This stirred up a strange anger within her.
"superior!!!"
Her voice was cold and decisive.
"There are only ten of them on the other side, let's take them down first!!!"
"boom--!!!"
This beautiful woman is called the Water Serpent Empress, the most powerful woman in the constellation Hydra.
At its peak, her territory spanned over a thousand star systems in the Hydra constellation, and she commanded countless elite troops.
The thirty-odd interstellar warriors surrounding her were her most elite force.
Each of them has been baptized in blood and fire and possesses world-destroying power.
"kill--!!!"
More than thirty figures moved simultaneously, sweeping towards Jiang Yulan and the others!
Each figure exuded a terrifying aura akin to an interstellar war god, drawing dazzling trails in the air!
That kind of formation—
Enough to instantly reduce any warrior below the level of a Star War God to ashes!
however--
"Buzz—!!!"
Jiang Yulan and the others watched the enemies attacking them silently, their eyes showing no emotion.
They didn't even move their feet.
because--
In front of them stood a dark golden figure with his hands behind his back.
Lin Qiye stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on the enemies who were charging towards them.
"superior!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress sneered, her eyes filled with mockery.
"Take these women down!!!"
Her words had barely faded—
"Buzz—!!!"
A dark golden light suddenly shone brightly!
That light was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, a hundred times more terrifying than any aura the Water Serpent Empress had ever seen!
"Varied--!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress's expression froze instantly!
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face was filled with disbelief.
She felt it too!!!
That aura—
It was more terrifying than anything she had ever seen!
He was a hundred times more terrifying than the man she wanted to rely on, the man who had just been beside her, the half-step human king who had intimidated the Water Serpent!
"This...how is this possible..."
Her voice was trembling.
She had only ever felt that terrifying aura from the legendary supreme beings.
And now-
This actually happened to such a young human being!
"grown ups--!!!"
Her voice was tinged with fear.
however--
It's too late.
"Blood Demon Domain"
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling majesty.
As soon as the words fell—
"boom--!!!"
An invisible surge of energy suddenly erupted from his body!
That wave was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, instantly engulfing the entire area!
"Buzz—!!!"
The thirty-odd figures rushing towards Jiang Yulan and the others were affected by that fluctuation—
Freeze instantly!!!
"Varied--!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress's face instantly turned deathly pale!
She felt it!!!
She felt an unimaginably terrifying force rushing towards her!
That power was as vast as an abyss, as deep as the sea, a hundred times more terrifying than anything she had ever seen!
"No--!!!"
She let out a terrified scream, trying to break free from the force binding her.
But it was all in vain!
Her body was like a paper toy before that wave of energy, unable to move an inch!
"grown ups--!!!"
Those thirty-odd interstellar war god-level subordinates also let out terrified roars.
They too felt that terrifying binding force, which held them firmly in place, unable to move!
"What...what kind of power is this...?"
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
"My body... I can't move..."
Terrified screams rose and fell, yet they seemed so insignificant in the face of this terrifying power.
Jiang Yulan and the others watched this scene quietly, their eyes showing no emotion.
Their gazes fell upon the enemies frozen in place, as if they were looking at a group of ants.
"This is the power of the master..."
Ji Changyue muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with fanatical light.
"Just one domain was enough to immobilize more than thirty interstellar war gods..."
Yao Suyun's lips curled up slightly.
"Master is too strong... These ignorant fools dare to offend Master."
Jiang Yulan's gaze fell on the Water Serpent Empress, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish."
She murmured softly.
"This is what happens when you dare to disrespect your master."
……
On the battlefield.
The water serpent empress's face was filled with terror and despair.
She had never felt such terrifying power.
That power was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, pinning her firmly to the spot, rendering her unable to move even a finger.
"My lord...my lord, please spare my life..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Spare me?"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on her.
His eyes remained completely still.
Only indifference.
Indifference like that of a god.
"You just said you were going to take them down?"
His voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling authority.
The Water Serpent Empress trembled violently, her face filled with terror.
"My lord... I... I was wrong..."
Her voice was trembling.
"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness, sir... Please, sir, spare my life!!!"
As she spoke, she kowtowed frantically.
That demeanor was completely different from his previous arrogance.
however--
Lin Qiye simply looked at her quietly, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Take it down."
He spoke calmly.
As soon as the words fell—
"Buzz—!!!"
Countless dark golden threads extended from his body, sweeping towards the thirty-odd figures frozen in place!
Those silk threads, like countless greedy giant pythons, instantly coiled around everyone's bodies!
"No--!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress let out a terrified roar.
She felt it!!!
She felt a terrifying force invading her body, frantically draining her life essence!
"Sir——!! Spare your life——!!!"
Her voice was filled with heart-wrenching fear.
But Lin Qiye ignored him completely.
He tightened his grip slightly, and the dark golden threads suddenly constricted!
"boom--!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress's body exploded instantly under the frantic tugs of those silk threads!
Countless streams of pure energy surged from her body, only to be completely absorbed by Lin Qiye!
"No--!!!"
The subordinates also let out terrified screams.
Their bodies exploded one after another as the threads relentlessly pulled them apart!
"Spare me—!!!"
"don't want--!!!"
"Help--!!!"
The piercing screams rose and fell, yet they seemed so insignificant in the face of this terrifying power.
Jiang Yulan and the others watched this scene quietly, their eyes showing no emotion.
Their gazes fell upon the enemies being devoured, as if they were looking at a swarm of ants.
This is what happens when you offend your master.
……
The strongest man in Hydra is named "War King," a near-human king-level being who commands respect across countless star systems in Hydra.
His aura was as deep as an abyss, and his body was surrounded by a faint blood-red light, which was the power of the war domain.
"Buzz—!!!"
Sensing the terrifying power approaching him, he unleashed his War Domain without hesitation!
A crimson light suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping outwards in all directions!
That beam of light contained an extremely terrifying fighting spirit, capable of igniting the warriors' fighting desire while suppressing the enemy's power!
This is the weapon the War King has relied on for dominating Hydra for countless years!
It was the ultimate law he had comprehended through countless bloody battles!
however--
"Buzz—!!!"
The crimson light had just been released when it was instantly swallowed up by a dark golden wave!
It was like a stone sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple!
"Varied--!!!"
The War King's face instantly turned ashen.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with disbelief.
His domain of warfare was so easily suppressed?!
How is this possible?!
He's a half-step Human King level being!!!
He's the most powerful man of the Hydra constellation!!!
His war domain is powerful enough to suppress any interstellar war god-level being!
But now—
He was completely devoured in a single exchange?!
"This...this is impossible..."
His voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear.
He finally realized that the young man standing before him with his hands behind his back was no ordinary person!
This kind of strength—
It has surpassed anything he has ever seen before!
Even the legendary true human king is probably no more than this!
"No--!!!"
His body was like a paper toy before that dark golden aura, unable to move an inch!
His power, his laws, his domain—
Compared to the opponent's Blood Demon Domain, it's like a joke!
"grown ups--!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress's voice carried a hint of fear and urgency.
"Sir——!! Spare your life——!!!"
The War King suddenly raised his head, only to see that the Water Serpent Empress's body had just been reconstructed and she was kneeling on the ground!
"Sir, spare your life——!!!"
The Water Serpent Empress's screams echoed in the void, filled with fear and pleas.
"I was wrong! I was blind to your greatness! Please, Your Excellency, spare my life!"
She had never felt such terrifying power before!
Even the man she wanted to rely on—the renowned half-step human king of the Hydra constellation—was as insignificant as an ant when faced with this dark golden domain!
Her pride crumbled instantly, replaced by boundless fear!
"No--!!!"
She let out a terrified scream.
But the dark golden light didn't stop at all, continuing to sweep towards her!
The next moment—
Her body was once again enveloped in that light!
however--
"Sir——!! Spare your life——!!!"
She let out a heart-wrenching scream, her voice filled with unconcealed terror.
"Sir, have mercy!!!"
She struggled frantically, trying to break free from the restraints of that dark golden light.
She knew she was completely powerless to resist!
"My lord—!! I...we are all human beings!!!"
Her voice trembled, and fear gleamed in her eyes.
"Living... I'm more useful now that I'm alive!!!"
She shouted desperately, trying to buy herself a chance to survive.
"Sir——!! Please have mercy, Your Excellency——!!!"
She knew that once she stopped begging for mercy, death awaited her!
She was unwilling to accept it!
She's going to become the King of Men!!!
She absolutely cannot die here!!!
"My lord—!! I will do anything for you!!!"
Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
"My lord—!! I beg you—!!!"
Her body writhed wildly in the dark golden light, her flesh peeling away piece by piece, the excruciating pain nearly causing her to faint.
But she dared not faint!
Once she faints, she'll never wake up again!
"My lord—!! Spare me—!!!"
Her voice echoed in the void, filled with fear and despair.
The dark golden light finally paused for a moment.
Jiang Yulan and the others watched this scene with indifference on their faces.
Their gazes fell on the dark golden figure, awaiting his decision.
This man—
That is the master of all this.
He only needs to say one word to decide the life or death of these people.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the Water Serpent Empress.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they shone with a complex light.
"Humans?"
He murmured softly.
As soon as the words fell—
"Buzz—"
The dark golden threads binding the water serpent thawed slightly.
The Water Serpent Empress sensed the pause in that power, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
"My lady—!! I am the strongest woman of the Mercury constellation!!!"
Her voice carried a hint of urgency.
"If you would spare my life, I would do anything for you!!!"
"Whether it's serving you or doing whatever it takes, I'm willing!!!"
Her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear and anticipation.
She knew this was her only chance!
If she can't win this person over, she'll surely die!
"My lord—!! Please, my lord, have mercy—!!!"
