118: Space pirates descended from outer space of the blue planet!

Immediately after, Xu Yi's figure flashed, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, ignoring the extreme environment of outer space.

He swiftly traversed the brilliant starry sky, heading directly for the Moon orbiting Blue Star.

He landed lightly on the lunar surface, in a deep crater left by a meteorite impact.

"I'll wait for those Cosmic Star Pirates right here..." Xu Yi murmured, looking around.

The inner wall of the deep crater was rugged and silent.

Since he couldn't know the exact location where the Cosmic Star Pirates would appear in Blue Star's outer space through the system, he could only choose to hide on the Moon, constantly observing and sensing the surrounding space fluctuations.

Xu Yi immediately activated the "Myriad Martial Star Art" to extremely suppress his aura, as if he had merged with the Moon's silence.

The Cosmic Star Pirates currently approaching Blue Star did not yet know that he had already been informed of their arrival.

When they appeared, they likely wouldn't expect to be ambushed by him.

However, if his aura leaked, there was a high possibility that it would be detected by the enemy Cosmic Spaceships about to arrive, and his exposure would cause him to lose the advantage of a surprise attack.

His chances of victory would also be greatly reduced.

Xu Yi closed his eyes, extending his keen perception like an invisible net, covering the surrounding space.

Every cell within his body seemed to resonate with the universe, sensing the subtle spatial fluctuations.

At the same time, he was poised for action, like a leopard lurking in the shadows, waiting for its prey to appear.

Time flowed by in silence, minute by minute.

Xu Yi's heartbeat gradually accelerated as the countdown approached.

"Five, four, three..."

Looking at the remaining time displayed on the system page, his heart pounded with excitement!

His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, as if he could pierce through the void and see the approaching enemies!

Then, with a thought, Xu Yi retrieved the Azure Sky Thunder Prison Axe from his infinite storage space and gripped it tightly.

The axe body flickered with lightning-like light, but Xu Yi immediately suppressed the power contained within it, making it appear like an ordinary axe.

In the current situation, he was at a disadvantage, and if he couldn't eliminate these Cosmic Star Pirates, there would be endless trouble!

Therefore, not even a slight anomaly could be detected by the other party...

"Two, one, they're here!"

As Xu Yi's mental countdown ended, a strong spatial fluctuation suddenly spread through Blue Star's outer space, like rippling water, yet carrying mysterious and powerful spatial energy!

Then, a huge and mysterious wormhole slowly formed in Blue Star's outer space, like a giant eye opening its long-slumbering eyelids!

And it emitted a deep, captivating glow.

As the wormhole opened, powerful alien Cosmic Spaceships emerged from it!

Their forms varied; some resembled colossal metal beasts, while others were streamlined shuttles, but all revealed technological power far surpassing that of Blue Star!

One, two, three... After sensing this mysterious spatial fluctuation, Xu Yi quickly looked over and silently counted in his mind.

A total of eight Cosmic Spaceships appeared around Blue Star's outer space!

"Damn it! I chose the wrong location, they're on the other side!" Xu Yi stared at the menacing Cosmic Spaceships that had suddenly appeared around Blue Star, his heart tightening abruptly.

His expression became extremely grim.

These Cosmic Star Pirates did not appear near his current lurking position, which caused him to lose the opportunity for a surprise attack at the first moment.

There was no way to deliver a fatal blow just as the other party appeared and before they could react...

Xu Yi carefully observed these Cosmic Spaceships.

He found that the volume of these spaceships was much smaller than the sunken ship he had obtained earlier in Blue Star's waters, and their sizes were not uniform.

According to the Cosmic Spaceship level information provided to him by the system, the Cosmic Spaceships piloted by these Cosmic Star Pirates were likely first- or second-tier ships, corresponding to Star Core Level and Star Sea Level life forms, respectively.

However, he could not yet determine whether they were first-tier or which specific level within second-tier.

But this was also good news.

The opponent did not possess Cosmic Spaceships comparable to Star Domain Level powerhouses, which meant that their internal detection systems had a high probability of not being able to detect his presence immediately!

"Fortunately, the strength of these Cosmic Star Pirates isn't particularly strong. With my current power, I still have a chance. I just need to approach carefully..." Xu Yi secretly rejoiced.

If the opponent had a third-tier Cosmic Spaceship, that would be a nightmare; the detection and weapon systems would see significant improvements compared to second-tier warships.

Even a basic third-tier spaceship could eliminate a beginner Star Domain Level powerhouse!

Immediately, Xu Yi more cautiously put away the Azure Sky Thunder Prison Axe in his hand, concealing his aura.

He slowly left the Moon's deep crater, carefully approaching the five Cosmic Warships that had appeared on the other side of Blue Star's outer space, while observing their movements.

If these Cosmic Warships turned towards him, it would indicate that he had been exposed...

At the same time, inside that top-tier second-tier Cosmic Warship, a low voice filled with joy rang out.

"Finally out! By the time the Purple Gold Empire fleet reacts, we'll already have escaped their controlled territory, hahaha!"

The voice came from a life form inside, whose level had reached Star Sea Level peak, armed with defensive armor similar to Blue Star's, and whose appearance was not too different from Blue Star humans, but who had two beast ears, making the distinction clear.

This person was Scorpion Fiend, the leader of the Black Scorpion Group.

He spoke to the other members inside, in a very good mood.

Immediately, a chorus of equally excited echoes resonated within the spaceship.

"Thanks to your brilliant leadership, Boss, we've hit the jackpot this time! Selling all these things will be enough for our Black Scorpion Group to expand its influence again!"

"Those foolish guys from the Purple Gold Empire probably haven't even reacted yet!"

"..."

The members echoed one another, and the atmosphere was festive.

But just then, the voice of the intelligent life embedded in the warship's system suddenly sounded, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Master, the surroundings have been thoroughly scanned. No danger has been detected for now, and a planet containing life and suitable for habitation, suspected to be unowned, has been detected."

The numerous members of various appearances inside the spaceship fell silent upon hearing this.

Leader Scorpion Fiend also paused in surprise.

But very quickly, the joy on his face intensified, and he exclaimed, "An unowned life planet?!"

His eyes gleamed with greed.

"It seems our Black Scorpion Group is lucky; we can even find an unowned life planet in a place like this."

"We can make another fortune before we leave!"
