348: The origin of Baoyuan Avenue

On the massive projection of the Star Continent map, the area on the northeastern edge marked as the "Shattered Continent Triangle" was currently covered by a striking, constantly rotating silver vortex marker. Lin Yuan's gaze was like a tangible sword, piercing through the Void Realm and firmly locking onto the region that represented both Chaos and opportunity.

"The Shattered Continent Triangle... its spatial structure is as fragile as glass, ravaged by Chaos storms, and filled with countless natural spatial traps and faults... To think the entrance to the 'great dao origin flow' Secret Realm is hidden in such a desolate place!"

"A desolate place is also a treasure trove." Lin Yuan's voice was calm and waveless, carrying a confidence that mastered the overall situation. "Chaotic space, a natural barrier—it is perfect to serve as the forward position for our Star Alliance to advance into the 'great dao origin flow'. This place will become the first large-scale hunting ground for my Chaos system to 'feed'."

He raised a hand and pointed. Beside the silver vortex marker on the star map, a phantom image of a fortress constructed from chaos divine gold and spatial stabilization runes slowly emerged.

"Pass the order: The Rock Fleet (composed of ten Chaos-level Void Realm warships equipped with enhanced spatial stabilization anchors and gui xu annihilation turrets) is to set sail immediately, escorted by the Third and Fourth Squadrons of the Star Scar Guards. Target: The Broken Star Reef area on the periphery of the Shattered Continent Triangle!"

"Mission: Establish a permanent outpost base! Use chaos divine gold as the foundation, engrave spatial stabilization runes, and deploy the 'Universe Barrier' (simplified version) and groups of gui xu annihilation turrets! Primary objective: Stabilize the stronghold and withstand the Chaos storms and spatial turbulence!"

"All departments of the Star Alliance: Allocate strategic supplies such as 'Spatial Stabilization Divine Stone', 'Myriad Dao Origin Gold', and 'primordial chaos qi Crystals', and prioritize supply to the 'Rock' fleet! The Life Sanctuary is to provide 'Moonlight Crystal Dust' (a byproduct of secondary moon void stone) to strengthen the spatial stabilization runes!"

"Intelligence network: Fully monitor all abnormal spatial fluctuations and powerful Dao Lord auras in the Shattered Continent Triangle! Anyone not belonging to the Star Alliance who approaches the triangle is to be recorded and tracked as a priority!"

The order instantly transformed into countless streams of light via the star city lord token, transmitting to every corner of the Star Alliance. The entire Chaos Origin City began to operate at high speed like a precision war machine. Inside the Void Realm port, ten menacing, massive warships with hulls shimmering with Chaos runes and spatial stabilization auras slowly sailed out of the port, and two thousand stern Star Scar Guards lined up to board. Massive amounts of construction resources were continuously transmitted to the fleet through the myriad worlds star gate.

"Brother Lin, this journey is perilous. The temptation of the 'great dao origin flow' is too great; it will surely attract wolves to surround us." Su Yao's figure appeared via the star gate projection, her stunningly beautiful face filled with concern. "The Sanctuary will fully guarantee the supply of materials and dispatch a 'Life Watcher' squad to depart with the 'Rock' fleet to assist in construction and defense."

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Su Yao. I have my own plans!" Lin Yuan nodded and looked at Mr. Yuan Mie Xu: "Fellow Daoist Mie Xu, I leave the internal affairs of the Star Continent, especially the construction and defense of the map nodes, to you. During my absence, if any blind scoundrels try to take advantage of the void... kill without mercy!"

"Rest assured, Brother Lin!" Mr. Yuan Mie Xu clasped his hands in a salute, and the nine Dragon patterns on his black imperial robe seemed to emit a low Dragon roar. "Imperial Dao Dragon City is the Star Alliance's solidest backing! I will ensure the rear is secure!"

After giving his instructions, Lin Yuan did not delay any further. He took one last look at the rotating silver vortex marker, and his figure merged into the star gate leading to the "Rock" fleet's flagship—the "Chaos Rock".

The Shattered Continent Triangle, Broken Star Reef.

This place lived up to the name "Shattered". As far as the eye could see, there were only massive star wrecks, like they had been torn apart by immense force, floating in the Void Realm in a jagged, interlocking mess. Violent Chaos Qi currents, like invisible giant pythons, wove and collided between the wrecks, whipping up destructive energy storms. Space was like a mirror covered in cracks; from time to time, tiny silver-white spatial rifts appeared and disappeared silently, emitting a heart-palpitating cutting aura. Further away, huge, colorful spatial vortexes slowly rotated—these were natural traps that even experts of the Hunyuan Realm dared not approach lightly.

The "Chaos Rock" led the fleet like a steel island struggling to sail through a raging sea. The spatial stabilization anchors on the hull emitted intense silver-white halos, forming relatively stable "bubbles" that struggled to withstand the tearing of the omnipresent spatial turbulence and Chaos storms. The Star Scar Guards were on high alert, their Chaos Return to Ruin force fields fully activated, vigilantly watching for any trace of energy fluctuation in the surroundings.

"Report, Star Lord! We have arrived at the designated coordinates, 'Broken Star Reef'! The intensity of the spatial turbulence exceeds expectations by 30%! I suggest deploying the 'Chaos Cornerstone' immediately!" The captain's steady voice rang out on the bridge.

"Granted!" Lin Yuan stood before the bridge porthole, his gaze sweeping across this chaotic Star Domain. Feeling the complex and violent Law fluctuations in the air, he was not afraid, but rather faintly excited. This Chaos was the very breeding ground for Chaos!

Hum! Hum! Hum! Several huge "Chaos Cornerstones", cast entirely from chaos divine gold and covered with profound spatial stabilization runes on their surfaces, were dropped from the belly of the fleet's largest transport ship! The cornerstones fell like meteors toward several relatively close and stable large star wrecks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The cornerstones embedded themselves precisely into the wrecks! The powerful spatial stabilization runes were instantly activated, erupting with blinding silver-white light! The light spread out like a spider web, quickly constructing a relatively stable "foundation" between the several wrecks!

"Star Scar Guards! Engineering Puppets! Attack! Build the main fortress!" Lin Yuan gave the order to the Star Scar Guards.

The already waiting Star Scar Guard engineering squad, controlling a large number of reinforced engineering Puppets produced by the chaos creation platform, swarmed out of the warships like worker ants and landed on the newly stabilized foundation. The bases for the gui xu annihilation turrets were quickly erected, and the chaos divine gold walls engraved with Universe Barrier runes rose from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye! The "Life Watcher" squad from the Life Sanctuary deployed a life rune array at the core of the foundation, providing continuous life force field support and purification effects.

The entire construction process was efficient and orderly, and the Star Scar Guards' Chaos Return to Ruin force field greatly offset the influence of the remaining spatial turbulence. However, just as the outline of the main fortress appeared and the first gui xu annihilation turret was about to be completed—

"Alert! High-intensity spatial jump fluctuations detected! Quantity: three! Direction: due east, southeast, due north! Expected arrival in ten breaths!" The ship-borne detection array issued a sharp alarm!

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his Chaos Divine Thought instantly spread out! Indeed, three powerful, undisguised Dao Lord auras, like three unsheathed sharp swords, were tearing through space and charging ferociously toward the Myriad Dao Outpost currently under construction! Their target was aimed directly at the newly activated spatial stabilization core!

"They've finally arrived!" A cold arc curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth. He had been waiting for these jackals attracted by the "great dao origin flow"!
