158: Chapter 158 The Overlord's Stealth

Speaking of this, a look of ruthlessness flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.

“But using the high-dimensional blueprints you sent back, combined with our Earth's nuclear arsenal, I've laid out a full thirty thousand heavy nuclear fusion mines along the deep-sea fault line overnight!”

“As long as that Ninth-Rank old beast dares to show its head, I'll blow off its tentacles even if it means leveling half of the East Sea!”

Earth was his home base, and it was also his absolute taboo.

“Great job, Xiaoxiao. I'll leave the defense line to you and the mentors.”

Lin Yuan's voice instantly turned cold, carrying a sense of extreme killing intent:

“Tell that Ninth-Rank old beast to wash its neck clean.”

“Hold on for a few more days. Once I get a super-distance wormhole generator on this end and open up a jump channel...”

His fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, sounding like a deathly countdown: “I will personally lead the Three Great Star-Destroying Fleets to the East Sea and use the main cannons to blast its Ninth-Rank beast core out for some wine!”

The communication was cut, and the ship's alarm suddenly blared.

[Ding! Space jump concluded! Arrived at target star region—Central Star City of Ten Thousand Races!]

Whoosh—!

The moment the stealth ship burst out of the wormhole, even Ancient Sword Soul and Ji Hongyi, who were used to grand scenes, couldn't help but gasp.

This was not a planet in any conventional sense!

Appearing before them was a boundless artificial continent built around thousands of stars!

An extremely exaggerated worldview was displayed vividly at this moment.

Countless stars were encased in despairingly massive dyson spheres, greedily siphoning stellar energy and turning it into visible high-dimensional energy waterfalls that poured onto the continent.

Starry sky behemoths as large as asteroids were actually just mounts for some top-tier forces here!

The sky was filled with circular orbits shimmering with holy radiance.

The peerless God King of the Celestial Race with twelve wings of light, the Saintess of the Starry Sky Spirit Clan who controlled space laws, and even a Buddha Son radiating the Buddhist light of the Great Leiyin Temple while treading on golden lotuses...

Heirs of the universe's top forces and the most monstrous national-level geniuses were all gathered here!

Every breath of air here was saturated with spiritual energy so dense it had practically liquefied.

“Brother Yuan... is this the core of the entire universe?” Ji Hongyi's eyes widened, feeling a powerful sense of class-based oppression.

Here, any random passerby might possess the background and strength to easily annihilate Earth.

Yet, as Lin Yuan slowly walked down the ship's gangway, he showed no reverence or anxiety.

Taking a deep breath of the dense high-level spiritual energy of Central Star City, a faint dragon roar of excitement echoed within his body.

Under the arrogant gazes of countless high-dimensional lifeforms, a greedy curve slowly formed on Lin Yuan's lips.

“Celestial Race? Starry Sky Spirit Clan? Top-tier orthodoxies?”

From the perspective of the god-demon body forging system, these high-and-mighty cosmic geniuses were all walking peerless techniques and top-tier bloodlines!

“So many high-quality leeks...”

Lin Yuan cracked his neck with a series of sharp pops: “I'm here.”

Central Star City of Ten Thousand Races, Core Trading District.

The prosperity here was enough to make any country bumpkin stepping into space for the first time freeze up instantly.

The streets were paved with solid Nebula Mother Stone. There were no hovering cars in the sky, only various top-tier starry sky behemoths trailing law light and flying boats made of pure energy.

Lin Yuan walked down the busy street with Ancient Sword Soul and Ji Hongyi, hands in his pockets as if taking a stroll.

His objective was clear—the Star City's largest trading center!

The countdown hanging over Earth's rear was ticking away; he had to obtain that ultra-long-distance space wormhole emitter capable of spanning endless galaxies as quickly as possible.

But when Lin Yuan checked the starting price of that emitter, even the “First Warlord of the Chaotic Star Sea” who had just plundered a branch of the Cult of the Machine God couldn't help but twitch his eye.

“Starting price... five thousand units of starry sky essence?”

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.

The hundreds of billions of star coins and mountains of energy blocks he had taken from the Cult of the Machine God were indeed enough to rival a nation in the outer star systems.

But in a place like Central Star City, where high-dimensional lifeforms were treated like dogs, those ordinary star coins were practically scrap paper!

The true top-tier hard currency was starry sky essence refined from the cores of stars!

“Brother Yuan, the cash we have seems... a bit insufficient.”

Ji Hongyi also saw the price, her face showing a touch of helplessness.

“What's the panic?”

A devious, cold smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips as his mind scanned his spatial ring filled with “Mechanical Church junk.”

“If we don't have money, we'll just print it!”

To acquire a massive amount of starry sky essence in the shortest time, the most direct method was to offer an “absolute luxury” that would drive the universe's top families into a frenzy!

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the most extravagant and exclusive money-squandering den in the Star City—the Myriad Law Appraisal Pavilion.

This giant pagoda, ninety thousand meters tall, was carved entirely from unknown ancient jade, radiating a terrifying pressure that suppressed the ages.

The first-floor hall of the Appraisal Pavilion was packed with beings from all over the universe, waiting in line for initial appraisal.

While Lin Yuan waited in line, bored, planning which piece of trash to “turn into gold”...

“Boom—!!!”

The pressure of a Seventh-Rank Grandmaster swept through the hall like a hurricane!

“Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way for this Holy Son!”

Along with an incredibly arrogant roar, a golden chariot pulled by over a dozen Sixth-Rank starry sky giant lions actually ignored the Appraisal Pavilion's flight ban and plowed through the crowd!

Countless low-level cultivators along the path were shaken into coughing up blood by the pressure, falling like harvested wheat.

Seated upon the chariot was an alien youth covered in golden scales with a single horn.

Holy Son of the Gold Horn God Clan!

Seventh-Rank Grandmaster realm!

“You blind things, blocking this Holy Son's path?”

The Holy Son of the Golden Horn stepped off the chariot with immense arrogance, spotting Lin Yuan and his companions who hadn't moved an inch at the front of the line.

He frowned: “Not a single trace of high-dimensional law fluctuations. Where did these bumpkins from the peripheral star systems come from? Such low-blooded trash, worse than dogs, are even fit to stand here and soil my eyes?”

“Scram!”

The Holy Son of the Golden Horn waved his hand, sending a streak of golden energy whipping toward Lin Yuan's face!

“Courting death!”

Behind Lin Yuan, Ancient Sword Soul's eyes turned icy, and the Heaven-Cutting Sword Intent within him let out a cry that pierced the heavens! He was about to draw his sword and slay the arrogant beast!

However, a powerful hand clamped down on Ancient Sword Soul's shoulder.

Ancient Sword Soul was taken aback and forcefully halted his draw.
