King of Ten Thousand Years

After the Cyan Armor Race's party arrived in the Earth and Water Realm, they easily found information on Luo Tian.

After all, Luo Tian had defeated four opponents in a row during the martial competition between the Purple Scale Race and the Autumn Fox Race, making quite a name for himself.

WHOOSH!

The Cyan Armor Race's Void Ship arrived at the Purple Scale Race's territory, its immense, intangible pressure suppressing everything in the vicinity!

Within the Purple Scale Race, the Clan Leader and all the upper echelons were startled. They came out to greet the newcomers, trembling with trepidation.

"Why would the Cyan Armor Race come to our Purple Scale Race?"

"The Cyan Armor Race is a major power! They have nearly ten Celestial Level Martial Artists in their clan. They could annihilate the Purple Scale Race without breaking a sweat!"

More importantly, the Cyan Armor Race was a vassal force of the Sea Demon Palace!

"Where is he now?"

A middle-aged man in gray robes appeared on the Void Ship. Floating beside him was a portrait—it was Luo Tian!

Upon seeing the portrait, the Purple Scale Race members instantly understood. The Cyan Armor Race was here for Luo Tian!

'Damn that Luo Tian, he really is a walking disaster!'

The Clan Leader cursed inwardly before answering truthfully, "Not long ago, this man killed a member of the Purple Scale Race and fled. My son, Zi Shan, is currently leading a party in pursuit!"

On the Void Ship, many of the Cyan Armor Race members revealed looks of delight.

It seemed Luo Tian hadn't gotten far.

"Where is his exact location?"

The gray-robed man's face turned grim as he asked in a deep voice.

The Purple Scale Clan Leader was in a bit of a bind. He took out a Token, preparing to contact Zi Shan.

SWOOSH!

Just then, a Void Ship returned to the Purple Scale Race's territory. Standing at its bow was a purple-haired man—it was Zi Shan!

"My son has returned!"

The Purple Scale Clan Leader said with a smile.

'I can't believe Luo Tian offended the Cyan Armor Race. If Zi Shan captures him, the Purple Scale Race can use this as an opportunity to build a relationship with them.'

Zi Shan had just returned and saw the grand reception, thinking an enemy had come to attack.

"Who dares to invade the Purple Scale Race!" Zi Shan bellowed.

The upper echelons of the Purple Scale Race who heard this were scared out of their wits!

The Clan Leader's face twitched. He flew out at once and roared, "You disgraceful son, what nonsense are you spouting! Hurry up and apologize to the esteemed sirs from the Cyan Armor Race!"

"The Cyan Armor Race?"

Zi Shan remembered this race, and his expression changed drastically. He immediately put on a subservient demeanor. "I didn't realize it was the esteemed lords of the Cyan Armor Race. This junior was insolent just now, I beg your forgiveness!"

The members of the Cyan Armor Race remained indifferent.

The gray-robed man in the lead unleashed a terrifying, boundless aura that brought the area within a ten-mile radius to a stagnant, deathly silence.

He asked coldly, "Where is Luo Tian?"

Zi Shan, still not understanding the situation, answered truthfully, "He escaped!"

The moment he said this, the scene fell silent!

The Purple Scale Race's upper echelons never imagined that Zi Shan, despite dispatching so many experts, had failed to capture Luo Tian!

This was a golden opportunity to curry favor with the Cyan Armor Race, and it had been utterly botched!

"You took Luo Tian in, and now you've let him escape?"

The gray-robed man spoke again.

Before Zi Shan could reply, the man abruptly waved his sleeve.

BOOM!

A gray ripple instantly swept out, covering a radius of three to four hundred meters!

The sky and earth changed color, violent winds whipped back, and Spiritual Qi howled!

Everyone from the Purple Scale Race on Zi Shan's Void Ship felt a terrifying sense of crisis, as if they had one foot in Hell!

With a POP, the Void Ship directly shattered into pieces, turning into countless parts that rained down upon the earth.

Zi Shan and the others were sent flying back several dozen meters. They all spat out blood, their faces deathly pale!

"Shan'er!"

The Purple Scale Clan Leader was furious but didn't dare show it. With a wave of his hand, he caught Zi Shan.

"Today, I will spare your lives. I will also give you one chance: capture Luo Tian and deliver him to the Cyan Armor Race. Otherwise, you will face the consequences!"

The gray-robed man barked coldly and led his people away.

He had other missions and didn't have time to endlessly pursue Luo Tian, so he simply dumped the task on the Purple Scale Race.

After all, it was a team from the Purple Scale Race that had rescued Luo Tian in the Outer Void. Otherwise, they would have caught him long ago.

WHOOSH!

The enormous, dark green Void Ship quickly vanished.

A cold, heavy silence fell over the entire Purple Scale Race!

If they couldn't catch Luo Tian, they would incur the wrath of the Cyan Armor Race!

"You disgraceful son, why didn't you catch Luo Tian?" the Clan Leader roared, filled with a mixture of anger and rage.

In his eyes, this was all Zi Shan's fault.

It was Zi Shan who brought Luo Tian to the Purple Scale Race, Zi Shan who failed to catch him, and Zi Shan who had just spoken offensively and angered the Cyan Armor Race.

Feeling utterly wronged, Zi Shan recounted the story of Luo Tian's escape.

"No matter what, we must capture Luo Tian! Otherwise, our clan will face the wrath of the Cyan Armor Race!"

The Purple Scale Clan Leader's expression was grim.

That very day, the Purple Scale Race dispatched several small teams to the Outer Void to hunt for Luo Tian!

「...」

The Outer Void was a cold, dark expanse where only faint gray streams of wind stirred.

A massive, dark blue Void Ship sailed rapidly, its surface protected by a sturdy Defense Shield that resisted the cutting winds of the void.

The Void Ship had forty to fifty individual rooms and was fully equipped with other facilities. The ship itself also had offensive systems, like the method the Cyan Armor Race had used to attack Cheng Wanli's Void Ship.

"There is a cannon on each side of the Void Ship, capable of unleashing power equivalent to a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm expert. If fueled with enough Spirit Crystals, they can be even stronger!"

Yan Lihui explained.

Yi Jingwen listened, her heart pounding.

'This Void Ship is incredible! This treasure alone is worth far more than the Outer World Map. It makes the risks we took worthwhile.'

"We can't afford to use these cannons!"

Luo Tian shook his head slightly.

Firing a single Attack from the cannons would cost several thousand Spiritual Essence Coins!

To unleash their full power, they would need even higher-grade Spirit Crystals as a power source.

"True. Just maintaining this Void Ship's flight costs a considerable amount of Spiritual Essence Coins each month."

Yi Jingwen nodded.

The Void Ship's high speed, comfort, and stability all came at a price.

"You want to go to the Human Race's territory?"

Yan Lihui looked at Luo Tian to confirm.

"You should know the location, right?"

Luo Tian had brought Yan Lihui on board with the thought that, since the man performed missions in the Outer World year-round, he should have some knowledge of the Broken-star Realm's geography.

"The Broken-star Realm is vaster than you can imagine. The places I've been are just a small fraction of it. I don't know the exact location of the Human Race's territory, but I do know the general area!"

Yan Lihui said slowly.

"In that case, I'll leave piloting the Void Ship to you."

Luo Tian said without ceremony.

Yan Lihui nodded. He wouldn't have felt at ease leaving the Void Ship in the hands of a novice on their first trip to the Outer World anyway.

Even he remained constantly vigilant and awestruck by the dangers of the Outer Void.

Once, the Purple Scale Race had been on a trade mission when they encountered a legendary group of bandits. The entire party was wiped out, suffering devastating losses!

"By the way, how did you treat my sister?"

Yan Lihui asked with a serious expression.

A major reason he had left the Purple Scale Race was because of Yan Xiaoxia.

"Does a Physician tell outsiders his trade secrets?"

Luo Tian asked back, a proud look on his face.

Yan Lihui was left speechless.

Yi Jingwen was also a bit lost for words. Back at the Yunxiao Sect, she had never heard that Luo Tian knew any medical arts. If Yan Xiaoxia's condition hadn't genuinely improved, she would have suspected Luo Tian of being a charlatan.

Luo Tian walked over to Yan Xiaoxia's side.

"I will now pass a Heart Method on to you. Circulate it for three hours every seven days!"

"Okay!"

Yan Xiaoxia's clear, bright eyes were filled with joy and curiosity.

She had suddenly fallen ill at the age of twelve and had been tormented ever since. Countless Physicians had seen her, but none could cure her.

But this big brother before her had a solution.

Luo Tian placed his palm on the crown of Yan Xiaoxia's head and transferred the Heart Method derived from the Celestial Book's Inference into her.

He had previously refined a few Elixir Pills for her, but they hadn't completely cured Yan Xiaoxia. They only temporarily suppressed the Yang Flame Qi that was corroding her entire body.

This Heart Method, however, was designed to gradually absorb and refine the Yang Flame Qi in her body.

If all went well, Yan Xiaoxia's Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds from now on!

This was the benefit she would receive after all her suffering.

After imparting the method,

Luo Tian returned to his own quarters.

He took out some Spiritual Essence Coins, activated his Nether Dragon Divine Vein, and began closed-door Cultivation to prepare for breaking through to the Earth Element Realm Second Layer.

For an adventure in the Outer Void, a Cultivation at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer was far from enough.

Time passed quickly. Travel through the void was long and tedious.

「Two months passed.」

Luo Tian's Cultivation gradually approached the Earth Element Realm Second Layer.

He felt that he was not far from a breakthrough.

"Hm?"

The Creation Technique suddenly sent him a warning of danger.

"Celestial Eye Opening!"

A line of cyan light appeared on his brow and spread open to the sides, forming the Celestial Eye!

The pupil of the cyan Celestial Eye emitted a deep blue luster, pulsing with countless transparent, light-blue ripples.

Luo Tian formed hand seals and began to make a divination.

Soon, he divined the source of the crisis!

"The Purple Scale Race is hunting me..."

Because he had so many connections to the Purple Scale Race and had just escaped from them, divining the specific crisis was relatively easy.

'I can't believe the Purple Scale Race is so persistent. I just took one Void Ship from them, and they're still chasing me relentlessly...'

Luo Tian had helped them win the martial competition. The benefits the Purple Scale Race received from that definitely exceeded the value of this one Void Ship.

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian immediately left his room and went to the Captain's Room.

"Luo Tian, we've encountered four groups of void bandits this past month!"

Yan Lihui said.

And that was only because he was familiar with the surrounding area and had done his best to avoid some of the bandits. Once they reached areas he didn't know, it would likely be much harder.

"There are that many bandits in the Outer Void?" Luo Tian was surprised.

"The Broken-star Realm is famous for its chaos and lawlessness. The cultivation civilization here is brilliant, but the competition is also fiercer. And the easiest way to obtain resources is to plunder!"

There was once an exaggeration that there were more bandits than merchants in the Broken-star Realm.

"I painted the Purple Scale Race's emblem on the sails to fool them!"

The Purple Scale Race was, at the very least, a major clan in the Earth and Water Realm. This ship was also large and equipped with offensive systems, giving it a deterrent effect.

Most bandits were unwilling to risk a direct confrontation.

"Mm, from now on, accelerate!"

Luo Tian nodded and gave the order.

The Void Ship's original speed was equivalent to someone at the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer or above on the Dongchen Continent. After accelerating, it reached the level of the Earth Element Realm Seventh and Eighth Layers.

Yan Lihui didn't ask for a reason, assuming Luo Tian was simply in a hurry.

「Five days later.」

SCREEE!

A sound like scraping metal came from the Void Ship's Defense Shield, startling everyone.

Luo Tian and the others came out of their rooms.

They saw what looked like thousands of grayish-white blades scraping against the Defense Shield surrounding the Void Ship.

While a Void Ship would be affected by the void's winds due to its extreme speed, it was never this terrifying.

As the Void Ship continued forward, the surrounding void winds grew increasingly violent, creating immense resistance and increasing the Void Ship's energy consumption.

"This is bad! Ahead is... a natural disaster of the Outer Void, the Chaotic Wind Flow!"

Yan Lihui's expression suddenly turned grave.

A rumbling sound came from the once cold and silent void. Ahead, a vast grayness appeared, like a mighty sandstorm, rolling toward them with crushing force.
