Chapter 1384: The Arrival Of The Star Lord

A group of shadowy figures rode swiftly, with the leader not falling behind, continuously praising with flattering words.

"My lord, you are truly wise!"

"By impersonating the Star Lord, not only can we force him to reveal himself, but we can also take advantage of the human forces to step into the spotlight and take control of this galaxy! Even among our entire race, few could conceive such a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone. Your wisdom is truly beyond our reach!"

After the flowery flattery, the fearsome lord seemed to have his anger slightly appeased, and the surrounding snowstorm lessened, his voice becoming gentler.

"Enough talk."

"Go now and spread the name of the Star Lord across Cloud Star!"

The shadowy figures immediately bowed and dispersed like smoke in all directions.

However, the leader hesitated, clasping his fists and showing a look of wanting to speak but holding back.

The terrifying figure clearly noticed this anomaly and slowly turned around, revealing an extremely handsome human face with a shadowy gaze, his voice filled with authority.

"You, what else is there?"

Despite not intentionally releasing his aura, the overwhelming presence still made the shadowy figure bow his head in fear. But it seemed there was something he couldn't let go of, and after much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Lord Long Tian."

"Forgive my impertinence, but do we have any news of the Divine Maiden? Our race has roamed the universe for countless ages, yet the Divine Maiden was abducted. This is a great humiliation..."

At these words, a coldness appeared in the handsome face, his brows lowering, and the goodwill gained from the earlier flattery vanished without a trace.

"I have not found any trace of the Divine Maiden either."

"This matter is far from simple, and it is not something you are qualified to inquire about!"

"Our current priority is to find the hidden Star Lord and eliminate him. If the plan succeeds, we can take control of Cloud Star, and the entire galaxy will naturally fall into our hands. How can we afford to be distracted in such a grand scheme?"

"If there is even the slightest mistake, affecting the greater plan of our race, can you bear the responsibility?"

His words were filled with the weight of the entire race's grand scheme, and the oppressive aura was overwhelming!

The lone shadowy figure dared not say another word.

He quickly bowed and transformed into a black mist, disappearing into the distance.

"My lord is absolutely right!"

"I will immediately lead the others to spread the message!"

Seeing his subordinate obediently leave, the handsome Long Tian snorted and waved his sleeve, disdainfully turning and stepping into the void, disappearing steadily.

When he reappeared.

He was above a sandy area filled with chaotic spatial currents!

After gazing into the distance for a while, Long Tian's eyes showed a trace of doubt.

"Strange..."

"This is the weak point of Cloud Star's spatial fabric. It should be a breeding ground for void beasts, yet there are so few of them. The cultivators of Cloud Star seem to have some skill, which is somewhat unexpected."

"Given this, Cloud Star truly lives up to being the boundary star of this galaxy. Those cultivators do have some value. It's likely that the humans responsible for this are the ones emitting those distant auras..."

As he murmured.

Long Tian's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes showing a hint of interest as he slowly walked across the sky, each step covering a thousand miles.

...

Deep within the endless sandy sea.

Several figures steadily advanced, led by the Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei, carefully inspecting the sealed spatial rifts. Only after completing the routine checks did everyone slightly relax.

During a brief rest, the gazes of several people turned towards Zui Wuyan and his martial brother.

They approached one after another, smiling warmly.

"Brother Zui, let me see that divine sword of yours again."

"Indeed, we've known each other for so many years. What's the harm in letting us have a look?"

However, Zui Wuyan remained unmoved, crossing his arms in front of his chest, exuding an air of a master.

"Gentlemen."

"I am devoted to the sword path. My sword is my life, more precious and important than a spouse. How can I show it so easily?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's mouths twitched.

Even an old hand like Fu Nantian was infuriated!

This Zui Wuyan, who had somehow stumbled upon a divine sword, was now putting on airs. He had been holding onto this attitude for so long, even daring to claim he was devoted to the sword path?

This guy couldn't even withstand ten moves from Elder Luo back in the day, and he was nowhere near the top in sword mastery. Yet now he dared to boast about his expertise? Shameless!

Besides.

How could a sword be more important than a woman? What did he know?

Fu Nantian gritted his teeth, almost losing his composure.

But with the divine sword in hand, Zui Wuyan was indeed a different person now. Fu Nantian could only feel aggrieved and envious, with no way to retaliate. He had no choice but to turn to Wei Donghai.

"Ahem..."

"Brother Wei, don't be as stingy as your martial brother. Let us have a look at your divine sword!"

Everyone else also approached with smiles, even the Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei couldn't resist.

"Brother Wei, I assure you, we will only look, not touch!"

With all the pressure on him, Wei Donghai hesitated. Seeing even Elder Luo speak up, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Uh..."

"Just one look, agreed? Only one look!"

As soon as he spoke, his stinginess was evident.

In the past, they could at least touch it, but now they could only look, and just one glance at that. They probably wouldn't even get a clear view. The miserliness of these two martial brothers was truly unparalleled.

Everyone felt a headache coming on, but since they could finally see the divine sword again, they decided not to make a fuss and smiled in agreement, full of anticipation.

"Alright, alright!"

"Just one look!"

Amidst the anticipation, Wei Donghai was about to reveal the divine sword.

Suddenly!

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, shaking the entire sandy sea!

"Boom!!!"

The overwhelming aura blotted out the sky, distorting the void like turbulent waves!

Instantly.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and the Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei's eyes sharpened as he clenched his fists!

"Not good!"

"A terrifying being has arrived!"

His shout startled everyone, and all other thoughts were cast aside. Their expressions turned extremely serious, and even Zui Wuyan and Wei Donghai felt immense pressure!

After a few moments of tense gazing.

They saw the sky churning and roiling. The already fragile space was now completely distorted, and even the natural forces of heaven and earth were being influenced. The surrounding seals began to loosen!

Without even revealing itself, such a presence was unheard of, sending chills down everyone's spines!

Almost instantly.

A cold dread filled everyone's hearts!

Though they didn't know what kind of terrifying void beast was about to appear, they knew it was beyond their ability to handle. The Cloud Star border they had worked so hard to protect was about to be utterly destroyed today!

The immense pressure continued to descend, freezing everyone in place.

Even Zui Wuyan and Wei Donghai, with their divine swords, lacked the courage to draw them now. Fear gripped their hearts before the battle even began—a primal terror, like the despair of gazing up at a colossal elephant!

As the spatial seals continued to loosen, various energies began to leak out, heralding an apocalyptic disaster...

The next moment.

The anomalies in the heavens and earth suddenly ceased, the spatial distortions vanished, and the overwhelming pressure converged towards the sky. The turbulent sandy sea returned to calm!

Even the Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei was stunned, as if witnessing a miracle!

The others were completely dumbfounded, rooted to the spot.

What was happening?

A disaster they couldn't possibly handle was about to descend, likely turning Cloud Star into a hellscape, yet in the blink of an eye, the skies cleared?!

Before they could react.

The infinite pressure in the sky converged into a vortex, revealing a figure clad in white jade-like robes, exuding an indescribable, terrifying aura, as if a deity had descended.

The figure spoke softly, yet his voice resonated throughout heaven and earth.

"I am Long Tian, the Star Lord of Cloud Star."

The gentle voice echoed in their ears, leaving everyone's minds reeling!
