689: Sky Pirates

"The Source Beginning Divine Mine has appeared! Head there immediately!"

"Danger and Opportunity coexist. All Disciples and Elders proceed at their own risk!"

"This time, we must find that item within the Source Beginning Divine Mine!"

Numerous Immortal Dao Lineages dispatched personnel, crossing the starry sky to rush toward the region where the Source Beginning Divine Mine was located.

...

Meanwhile, as the Beidou Star Sea and several other star regions were in motion due to the Source Beginning Divine Mine,

Chu Ying was traveling with his beauties, aboard an interstellar spaceship he had seized from Yuan Tu of the Kuang Xue Shen Tu Pirate Group.

Currently, Chu Ying's cultivation was at the Middle Stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm, and his next step would be the Late Stage.

Through his cultivation with his various beauties and the assistance of the "Yin and Yang Life and Death Art," his cultivation had progressed significantly.

After sailing through the starry sky for about three days, he finally passed through several third-tier star regions, including the Xuanhuang Star Region, the Nandou Star Region, and the Feiyu Star Region.

In third-tier star regions, only the upstream regions possessed Quasi-Emperors, and they were all One Tribulation Quasi-Emperors who knew they had no further potential, could not break their limits, and had returned to spend their remaining days in retirement.

But just as he crossed a certain star region, a fleet unexpectedly appeared head-on, blocking Chu Ying's interstellar spaceship!

In the distant galaxy, a massive fleet stood tall.

The Theft Sky Pirate Gang!

"Boss! That spaceship in front looks like one from the [Kuang Xue Shen Tu Pirate Group]!"

On one of the ships, a deputy at the Perfection stage of the Void God Realm spoke to the captain, Gu Yueming, who was in command of the entire fleet.

Gu Yueming was a middle-aged man with a cultivation level at the One Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Realm. He had set sail this time intending to plunder the third-tier star regions in preparation for entering the Source Beginning Divine Mine.

Although their Theft Sky Pirate Gang was merely a force from the Devil Star Sea, they were also aware of the matters concerning the Source Beginning Divine Mine.

After all, the commotion caused by the Source Beginning Divine Mine was simply too great.

For pirates, they loved engaging in such high-risk, high-reward endeavors. If they could enter the Source Beginning Divine Mine to explore, even obtaining a small amount of treasure would be enough for the Theft Sky Pirate Gang to digest!

It is worth mentioning that.

The Theft Sky Pirate Gang was once incredibly glorious, at one point capable of invading some of the Immortal Dao Lineages in the Beidou Star Sea!

This was because, during its most glorious period, the founder of the Theft Sky Pirate Gang was known as the Theft Sky Demonic Lord! He was a Peerless Monarch! A Seven Tribulation Quasi-Emperor!

Just imagine, a pirate gang built by a powerhouse at the level of a Peerless Monarch, sweeping across the Star Sea with a fierce, bandit-like style—how magnificent and blood-pumping would that be?

But it was precisely because they were too glorious and domineering that multiple Peerless Monarchs in the Star Sea joined forces to kill the Theft Sky Demonic Lord. That battle was earth-shattering and reached deep into the starry sky.

Although the Theft Sky Demonic Lord was strong, he was no match for the crowd and fled into the deeper reaches of the starry sky, after which there was no trace or news of him. The returning Peerless Monarchs naturally claimed to have shattered the body of the Theft Sky Demonic Lord, leaving only a wisp of his remnant soul to escape.

In the end, those monarchs did not completely wipe out the Theft Sky Pirate Gang.

After all, without the Theft Sky Demonic Lord, the Theft Sky Pirate Gang was merely a second or third-rate force in the Star Sea; even Transcendent Quasi-Emperors were few and far between, and they could only shrink back into the Devil Star Sea.

Furthermore, they had to face retaliation from other Dao Lineages that had been plundered.

Over such a long period, the Theft Sky Pirate Gang had long since declined, and currently, their strongest member was only a Three Tribulation Quasi-Emperor.

But now.

In another millennium era, the Theft Sky Pirate Gang was already restlessly stirring, intending to realize their grand ambitions within the Source Beginning Divine Mine and use this Opportunity to rise!

The former Theft Sky Demonic Lord had also entered the Source Beginning Divine Mine, obtained a great Opportunity within it, and explored a dangerous and special area inside.

Although the Theft Sky Demonic Lord had disappeared, and one could even say he had directly fallen, he had left behind a map of that area within the Source Beginning Divine Mine.

As long as the Theft Sky Pirate Gang could enter that area, relying on the map would be enough to find Opportunities, significantly improve their overall strength, and it was highly likely they would recreate their former glory!

On the spaceship.

Gu Yueming's expression was somber: "The Theft Sky Demonic Lord is our ancestor. Our ancestor died at the hands of those executioners who brandished the banner of the Righteous Path. After so many years of silence, it is time for our Theft Sky Pirate Gang to revive."

The Theft Sky Demonic Lord was named Gu Yue Fangyuan, a supreme talent who once dominated this starry sky, yet ultimately fell.

The pirate gang he created was actually a Family-style pirate gang, and the vast majority within the group were members of the Gu Yue clan.

Gu Yueming regained his focus, staring at the spaceship of the Kuang Xue Shen Tu Pirate Group, and said coldly: "Kuang Xue Shen Tu, a thing that was once trampled underfoot by our Theft Sky Pirate Gang, actually managed to crawl back up later?"

"Hmph, since we've encountered a straggler, we naturally cannot let it go."

"Brothers, we're having a feast tonight!"

Following Gu Yueming's order, the entire fleet of the Theft Sky Pirate Gang quickly sailed toward that lone spaceship; it was a fleet composed of thirteen ships in total.

It was enough to sweep across a mid-to-lower tier third-tier star region.

A lone spaceship was basically impossible to be their opponent.

Unless, there was a terrifying powerhouse on that spaceship!

On this side.

Chu Ying and his party also noticed this scene.

Sui Caixian frowned and said: "Are they coming for us?"

"Should we act?" Xi Yao looked toward Chu Ying.

Chu Ying's expression was calm; his figure flew out of the spaceship, staring intently at that fleet.

If they were attacked by the fleet using Formation laser cannons, then his spaceship would inevitably be destroyed. The only way to resist would be to use a supreme emperor weapon to contend with them.

However, who were these people? Chu Ying did not want to start a war so blindly.

Very quickly, he had already seen the huge words on the fleet of ships—Theft Sky!

"Theft Sky? Could it be another interstellar pirate gang?" Chu Ying frowned.

However.

Although he had the intention to negotiate with the other party, guessing that this Theft Sky Pirate Gang might be so aggressive because of the Kuang Xue Shen Tu Pirate Group's spaceship,

he didn't even have the chance to negotiate with them before he heard two words:

"Fire!"

On the pirate ship, Gu Yueming only had two words; his expression was ferocious and mad.

In his mind, he was echoing the ambition and pride of his ancestor after founding the pirate gang, leading the Theft Sky Pirate Gang to sweep across the Star Sea; everywhere they passed, nothing was left behind.

His ancestor didn't care about anything else; he would just start with "Fire!" to force the enemy to surrender voluntarily before proceeding to plunder!

He had always emulated his ancestor, and at this moment, even though there was only one spaceship opposite him, he acted no differently.

What if there was some powerhouse on that spaceship?

Better to use the Formation laser cannons to bombard it first!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, streaks of brilliant and cold Formation laser cannons bombarded Chu Ying's spaceship, almost like a waterfall, submerging the entire ship.

It bombarded for a full ten breaths of time!

The spaceship had likely been bombed until only debris remained, or perhaps not even debris.

Dust and shockwaves were slowly spreading.

Gu Yueming was very proud and said indifferently: "Regardless of what kind of spaceship from the Kuang Xue Shen Tu it was, under such intensive artillery fire from me, there will basically be no survivors on board."

"Even if there are, they must be heavily injured Quasi-Emperors."
