“Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore~”
“Aren't you going to chase after that sword?”
“I almost forgot about that guy!”
So engrossed in chatting with Silver Wolf and admiring her little belly, Xia Ye almost forgot he was still chasing after the demonic sword!
“I mean, you’re just chasing after it like this?”
Silver Wolf watched the man and the sword chasing each other, speechless: “Didn’t I already share the [Ether Editing] technology with you? Can’t you just modify the coordinates and stop it?”
“Ahem!”
Xia Ye felt a little embarrassed. He had indeed learned [Ether Editing], but this thing actually required prerequisites, namely hacking and programming skills!
He was completely clueless about these.
Besides, modifying coordinates.
He hadn't studied interstellar navigation.
He’d be lucky if he didn't get lost in the galaxy, how would he know any coordinates!
“Hahaha, I understand!”
Silver Wolf also realized the crux of the matter, almost choking with laughter on Xia Ye's shoulder. She never thought Xia Ye would be stumped by hacking and programming knowledge -
This was preschool education in Punk Lord!
“I’ll help you!”
“No need!” Xia Ye said: “Actually, I’ve already thought of a way!”
“You wouldn’t be trying to show off in front of a girl, would you?”
Doubt lingered in Silver Wolf's beautiful eyes: “Let me tell you, I don’t like men who try to force their way into things!”
“Not showing off!”
Xia Ye pointed forward, and the silent, ethereal ocean between the stars instantly surged with a tumultuous tide!
As the “tide” surged.
Several small black holes formed around the demonic sword, and the sword, caught off guard, nearly got swallowed by them.
However, it was just a hair’s breadth away, the demonic sword managed to cut out a sword energy, taking advantage of the momentum to momentarily escape the black hole's gravity and dive downward!
“It's going to escape to that planet!”
“Quick, chase!”
“Why are you getting so enthusiastic too?”
“Xia Ye, don't you think this is a hidden mission trigger? It’s probably a hidden mission that rewards an artifact. There must be something on this planet!”
“You really do love games!”
“Alright, let's chase!”
...
Hmm?
Just as they broke through the atmosphere.
Xia Ye frowned.
This was not an ordinary planet!
Smoke filled the land, and war engulfed everything!
This planet was being invaded, no –
In this situation, it would be more accurate to say that this planet was almost completely occupied!
The whole planet.
Only one place had a semblance of resistance.
That should be the last stronghold – just like Beloborg back then!
“It’s the Buli people’s planet hunt!”
“That’s right!”
Silver Wolf looked at the few enormous Buli beast ships below.
Those hideous and disgusting appearances were truly Lovecraftian.
These were the products of the Buli people’s crude and barbaric genetic technology.
They were just gigantic beasts.
Some armor was embedded on their bodies -
If that was all.
Then some people might even find them majestic.
However, what if these beasts didn’t have skin, and their flesh was directly exposed, wriggling incessantly?
What if, countless undigested humans were “embedded” on those wriggling flesh?
What if, those humans weren't completely dead, and they were still wailing miserably, still calling out for help?
“So disgusting!”
“Ephemeral blooms, the Milky Way spills dreams!”
Xia Ye, a person who had never dared to watch the Cthulhu series, suddenly saw these, his tolerance was much lower than Silver Wolf, who had seen many things!
He suppressed his psychological and physiological discomfort!
[Burning Flame] appeared in his hand!
He directly unleashed his ultimate move!
“Boom—!”
Unlike Jingliu’s flawless, serene, and beautiful sword under the moon, the sword Xia Ye swung out was like a star exploding, flames flowing across heaven and earth.
The giant beast ship, tens of kilometers long, was cleaved in two by the sword, burning to ashes in the flames - disappearing along with those living dead humans under the sun!
“Xia Ye, the demonic sword escaped to that place!”
Silver Wolf reminded Xia Ye. The demonic sword he was chasing had gone straight into the last human stronghold, intentionally or unintentionally?
“Let's go down and take a look!”
“Okay!”
......
Sardo City.
In the era of the Old Empire.
This was the border where they faced off against the neighboring country.
The Old Empire poured its national resources into building a fortress here that was said to be impregnable!
The facts proved that the imperial craftsmen did not break their word. This fortress did not fall even when faced with the Buli people who shepherded the stars!
The irony was.
The empire that built it had already vanished from this planet, even the imperial capital was turned into a breeding ground for the Buli people’s beast ships!
“Halt!”
Xia Ye and Silver Wolf followed the sword glow of the demonic sword to this giant city built against the mountain.
Strange-looking aircraft immediately surrounded them.
However, Xia Ye was too fast, before they could form an encirclement, he landed on the ground!
He looked at the demonic sword, of course –
And the man holding it!
“Who are you?”
The sword-wielding man was wary. The disgusting beast ship in the sky had been cut in half by a single sword, leaving nothing behind!
Based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the two in front of him were very likely to be allies, but they might not be. It was better to be cautious.
“Stargazer Train, Xia Ye!”
“Star Core Hunter, Silver Wolf!”
“Uh, Stargazer Train –”
“And Star Core Hunter?!”
The man looked surprised when he heard Stargazer Train.
After all, Stargazer Train was a famous force in the galaxy known for ‘helping those in need’!
However, he was a little surprised when he heard Star Core Hunter.
When did the nameless guests of the Stargazer Train team up with the Star Core Hunter?
But he quickly regained his composure. In the current situation, every reinforcement was crucial!
Forget Star Core Hunter. Even those for-fun Masked Fools, as long as they could help, he would cooperate with them!
“You two, what brings you here?”
“We’re chasing this sword!”
Xia Ye pointed at the demonic sword in the man’s hand.
It was only then that he saw the demonic sword clearly –
It was a dark purple longsword, engraved with ancient, profound beast patterns.
It looked elegant and exquisite, without any evil aura, almost like a ceremonial sword that an emperor would use to show off!
However, it was forged with the Sun of Ages, making it a genuine demonic sword!
This was a confirmed fact.
There was no such thing as “a holy sword in the hands of a hero and a demonic sword in the hands of a demon”!
The sword’s own attributes were that of a demonic sword.
Using the Sun of Ages as the sword spirit, while it could indeed increase the sword's grade and add various special attributes.
But the very nature of the Sun of Ages meant that holding this sword would amplify the wielder's desires, eventually leading to controlling others with the sword!
The wielder would be drained of all their soul and life by the demonic sword!
“I see!”
The man laughed, and without hesitation, handed over the sword!
Then a voice came from the demonic sword:
“Treacherous, you're breaking our agreement!”
“I will curse you!”
“Shameless humans!”
