?"The aura in this place is very unstable," Zhang Yu said, holding Gui Xuan.
Signs of space collapsing were everywhere. Yun Lintian's group, having traveled for days, had encountered numerous space turbulences. The slightest misstep could have resulted in them being swallowed and disappearing without a trace.
Yun Lintian looked out at the vast expanse of space silently. Compared to the Divine Realm, the situation here was far more obvious. The Primal Chaos was indeed deteriorating and at a significant rate.
"Look," Zhang Yu interjected suddenly, grabbing everyone's attention.
In the far distance, a massive profound ark hurtled toward Yun Lintian's position. Surrounded by several medium-sized arks, it erupted in periodic explosions, clearly under siege.
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and steered the ship rightward, trying to avoid them.
"Pirates?" Yun Yi stared intently at them.
The massive profound ark wasn't simple. Its construction hinted at using precious materials, and its origin clearly wasn't ordinary.
Meanwhile, the attackers presented a formidable force. Yun Yi could spot at least twenty god emperors and two lesser gods among them. Such power could easily dominate the Divine Realm.
Inside the massive profound ark, a young woman stared at the attackers with a solemn expression.
"Miss, we cannot hold much longer. We have to find a safe place as soon as possible," a middle-aged man in blue said anxiously.
"Tell our people to hold on. Bring me the star map," the woman said solemnly before returning to a long table in the lounge.
The middle-aged man hurriedly sent out instructions and brought a map over, spreading it on the table.
The woman scanned the map quickly and pointed to a nearby star. "If I remember correctly, we have a branch here. Can we contact them?"
The middle-aged man looked at the position she pointed to on the map and quickly said, "Miss, that's the second young master's branch—"
"It doesn't matter. At most, I'll pay a heavy price. I don't want to see our people die here," the woman said.
The middle-aged man let out a sigh and tried to contact the opposite party.
Boom!
A sudden, massive explosion rocked the profound ark, causing it to sway violently. The woman looked up sharply, her gaze meeting the battle outside where the lesser gods among the attackers were making their move.
"They've deliberately targeted us, Miss," the middle-aged man said, his expression grim. He tried contacting the nearby branch, but his calls went unanswered.
The woman's face hardened. "Dongfang Chen! You will pay for this."
"Miss," the middle-aged man interrupted, his voice laced with urgency. "There's another vessel ahead. What are our orders?"
The woman turned her gaze towards a white streak approaching in the distance. It was clear they were trying to avoid getting involved.
"Steer clear," she instructed calmly. "We won't cause them any trouble."
Despite his initial desire to use the newcomers as a distraction, the middle-aged man could only comply with her command.
However, one of the lesser gods among the pirates spotted Yun Lintian's group. He swept his spiritual sense over everyone on their ship and his eyes lit up when he saw Long Qingxuan's appearance.
"Brother, another jackpot!" he exclaimed with a grin.
Another lesser god joined him and was surprised to see Long Qingxuan. Even with her eyes closed, her figure and aura radiated undeniable beauty. He was clearly captivated.
"Take them," he commanded the nearby god emperors, gesturing towards Yun Lintian's ship.
"Yes, leader," the five god emperors responded in unison before departing and rushing towards Yun Lintian's position.
The woman frowned deeply at the scene. "Stop them!" she ordered firmly.
"Miss, we..." The middle-aged man began, but his voice trailed off upon seeing the woman's cold and resolute expression.
He immediately issued orders to his subordinates, instructing them to aim the cannons at the approaching god emperors.
"Heh. You can't even save yourselves, yet you meddle in others' affairs," one of the lesser gods sneered. With a flick of his wrist, he swung a massive axe towards the cannons.
BOOM!
The profound ark shuddered violently, rendering the cannons useless. Aiming became impossible under such chaotic conditions.
The five god emperors, unfazed by the failed cannon barrage, merely glanced at the disabled weapons before increasing their speed, charging relentlessly towards Yun Lintian's group.
Witnessing this scene, Yun Lintian let out a sigh. "It seems upgrading our ship is a top priority."
The Fleeting Cloud Profound Skyship, while fast for the Divine Realm, was clearly outmatched here.
"Who volunteers?" Yun Lintian scanned the group, his gaze lingering on each face.
Without a word, Long Qingxuan stepped forward. Her aura surged, manifesting a sudden downpour in the air.
The five god emperors, startled momentarily, scattered and launched their attacks. However, their surprise quickly turned to horror. The seemingly ordinary rain held a terrifying conceptual intent hidden within.
As the rain struck the god emperors, they felt like millions of needles were piercing their bodies, destroying everything from within. Their natural defenses were no match for this unseen force.
Yun Lintian's gaze flitted to Long Qingxuan in surprise. He hadn't anticipated such immense power. Was this her true potential?
"Allow me to assist," Zhang Yu declared, raising her hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Her entire arm transformed into a massive tentacle, sweeping across the five god emperors with a series of deafening booms. Their bodies contorted into grotesque shapes, barely clinging to life.
Seizing the opportunity, Long Qingxuan gestured with her hand, transforming the rain into five water swords that streaked toward the fallen enemies. In a swift and merciless movement, the swords severed their heads, claiming their lives.
The pirates were left speechless by the scene unfolding before them. The woman and everyone inside the profound ark mirrored their stunned reaction. The complete dominance displayed by Long Qingxuan and Zhang Yu was undeniable.
The two lesser gods exchanged surprised glances.
"Shall I handle this?" the lesser god in black robes inquired.
"Leave it to me," the taller god replied, swiftly moving towards Yun Lintian's position.
Yun Yi cast Yun Lintian a questioning glance. "Should we intervene?"
"No, it's yours," Yun Lintian replied, uninterested in engaging further.
"Very well," Yun Yi responded, stepping forward. A long sword materialized silently in his hand as he effortlessly swung it towards the approaching enemy. The impact resonated with a resounding bang.
BANG!
All of a sudden, the space before the lesser god visibly shuddered before cutting open, followed by a horrifying tearing force...
