992: Zhang Heiyun Empire!

Over the next few days, the entire Blue Star was extremely peaceful, as if the earth-shattering battle had never occurred.

There were no intense energy fluctuations, no deafening roars; everything returned to tranquility.

But beneath this seemingly calm surface, undercurrents surged, with various forces secretly adjusting their strategies and preparing for future developments.

However, on this day, the atmosphere in the Alliance headquarters plaza became exceptionally lively.

Three massive spaceships hovered in the sky, their forms resembling silver Dragons, exuding a cold and majestic aura.

After working day and night during this period, the Alliance and Star Technology jointly manufactured these three spaceships.

Each spaceship embodied the painstaking efforts and wisdom of countless researchers, employing the most advanced technology and Materials, and possessing powerful navigation and combat capabilities.

During numerous discussions among the high-ranking officials of the entire Alliance, everyone expressed their opinions, fiercely debating the direction and strategy of Universe exploration.

Finally, with Dragon Xuanyuan's decisive approval, it was decided that today they would split into three groups, exploring the Universe from three different directions.

Dragon Xuanyuan knew that the Universe was vast and boundless, and a single expedition force would be far from enough. Only by dispersing their strength could they more comprehensively explore the mysteries of the Universe.

"Inside each is a full-power strike I stored. Use them to save your lives at critical moments!"

Dragon Xuanyuan, with a solemn expression, handed three jade tokens to the three leaders: Bai Yuan, Constantine, and Max.

These three jade tokens, seemingly ordinary, actually contained Dragon Xuanyuan's immense power.

Each jade token had been meticulously refined by him, with a Seal containing one of his full-power strikes, enough to turn the tide at a crucial moment.

They represented the former Great Xia, Great Eagle, and Great Bear, three super-powers.

Even with the establishment of the Alliance, various factions still maintained their own influence in private to protect their respective interests.

All three were top experts from their respective factions, having all reached the Half-Step Fourth Order Realm.

Their eyes were filled with confidence and determination, as if they were already prepared to face any challenge.

"Understood!"

The three leaders said in unison, their voices loud and firm, echoing above the plaza.

Then, they turned and boarded their respective spaceships, ready to embark on this unknown journey of Universe exploration.

"I hope they return victorious!"

Dragon Xuanyuan sighed, his gaze profound, looking at the sky as if traversing endless time and space.

Before this, he had successively sensed several auras streaking across the heavens and earth, flying into the Void Realm.

He knew that those presences must be the Sequencer who had previously hidden in the shadows.

He had considered forcefully suppressing these Sequencer.

But setting aside the fact that these Sequencer themselves possessed considerable strength and were not easy to find!

Not to mention that behind them were existences like Li Wuji, which is why he gave up the idea of targeting the Sequencer!

---Meanwhile, in the Void Realm countless light-years away from Blue Star, a figure sat cross-legged on an invisible longsword.

The longsword cut through the Void Realm, advancing at an incredible speed, leaving a long trail.

This was Li Wuji, who had left Blue Star. Suddenly, as a powerful aura erupted, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes revealed a profound wisdom and powerful confidence, as if he had already grasped the mysteries of the Universe.

"Heh, so this is the Fourth Order Middle Stage, truly extraordinary!"

After a moment of emotion, Li Wuji calmed the powerful aura around him.

Immediately, he grabbed through the air, and a map filled with a sense of science fiction appeared in his hand.

The map shimmered with various colors of light, marking the locations of different star systems and planets.

Back in that Dark Purple Sphere, Li Wuji successfully obtained a partial remnant of the Lord of Chaos.

Time was pressing then, so he simply devoured and refined it, which allowed him to finally Breakthrough that layer of shackles and successfully reach the Fourth Order.

Moreover, he extracted a portion of the Lord of Chaos's remnant Divine Soul, and after Fusion, he gained a lot of information about the Universe.

This included the Black Cloud Empire, the largest cosmic power closest to Blue Star.

The Black Cloud Empire, led by the Black Cloud Domain Lord, is a Fifth Order Domain Lord-level expert.

Under his command are countless experts, each possessing unique skills and renowned throughout the Universe.

The Empire controls no less than a thousand life-bearing planets, which are distributed like brilliant pearls across the Empire's territory, providing abundant resources and a strong population base for the Empire.

The Empire's territory spans several star systems, its sphere of influence astonishingly vast.

After learning about this powerful cosmic force, Li Wuji decided to head to the Black Cloud Empire.

He knew that such a powerful force would undoubtedly possess many valuable Materials or powerful experts.

Moreover, he could feel that after the death of the Lord of Chaos, the Editor's restrictions seemed to have vanished.

This meant he could continue editing Sequences, and what surprised him even more was that after 015 Sea King died, his corresponding characteristic did not disappear, only weakened slightly, though the feedback on his strength was gone.

Li Wuji wasn't concerned about this; given Sea King's Realm at the time, if his perception hadn't been keen, he might not have even noticed it.

"I hope this trip to the Black Cloud Empire won't disappoint me!"

Saying this, he raised his hand and took out another bottle of potion, dark and Xuanhuan within, emitting an aura difficult to suppress.

This was a new potion Li Wuji had concocted, and a main Material within it was a remnant of the Lord of Chaos.

This potion contained powerful energy, as if it could erupt at any moment.

"space storm, that's not bad, a good way to travel, it's just difficult to control. I estimate one needs to be Fifth Order to completely control it!"

Li Wuji sighed, looking at an unhealed wound on the back of his hand. He had an idea when he saw that space storm.

A space storm, once drawn in, one would be torn apart by spatial Turbulence, which is fatally dangerous for existences below the Fourth Order.

But for Fourth Order experts, it's not necessarily so. Fourth Order experts are a perfect Fusion of Physical Body and Divine Soul; such experts are extremely difficult to kill.

According to the information he received, a normal Fourth Order expert can theoretically live up to three thousand years.

Such experts can be said to have climbed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood; even if they don't die by an enemy's hand, they will fall ill from overwork, so their average lifespan is about one thousand five hundred years.

Although Li Wuji had just broken through to the Fourth Order at that time, his strength and methods could no longer be measured by his Realm.

Coupled with the partial memory boost from the Lord of Chaos, even though he had just broken through to the Fourth Order, his application of Laws was already effortless.

So he didn't hesitate to enter the space storm, traversing through the spatial Turbulence like a small boat.

He only left when he was about to reach his limit. By utilizing the spatial Turbulence, he had already left the part of the Universe where Blue Star was located.

"Ding, entering Black Cloud Empire's sphere of influence. Life-bearing planet detected!"
