424: Chapter 425 Soul-Searching Star Hunters, Repairing the Transport Ship and Setting Sail!

One hundred high-frequency oscillating greatswords were raised simultaneously, and with a shrill buzzing sound that sliced through space, they slashed down in unison toward Su Yang in the center.

Before the blades arrived, the intense wind pressure had already crushed a hundred deep trenches into the crimson rocky ground below. The air was completely displaced, forming a zone of absolute vacuum and death.

Su Yang hovered in mid-air, his hands tucked into the pockets of his casual trousers, his face expressionless. Facing the deadly web of swords interwoven across the sky, he did not clench his fists to resist.

He spread his hands flat, and brilliant, dazzling golden Pure Yang True Fire surged from his palms. The flames did not explode outward, but under the compression of Su Yang's formidable Divine Sense, they instantly transformed into thousands of golden-red threads of fire, thinner than a strand of hair.

"Scatter."

Su Yang uttered a single word softly.

The thousands of fire threads were like a dense golden rainstorm, shooting out wildly in all directions at a speed beyond the reach of human sight. The fire threads possessed astonishing piercing power, directly ignoring the physical defenses and energy force fields of the high-frequency oscillating greatswords.

Sizzling!

A dense sound of metal being sliced, jarring to the teeth, rang out in mid-air.

One hundred heavy combat mechs, each thirty meters tall, along with the oscillating greatswords they held high, were instantly sliced into countless metal cubes of equal size the moment they touched the Pure Yang fire threads. The cut surfaces were as smooth as mirrors, dripping with red-hot molten iron.

The Starry Sky Hunter pilots inside the mechs did not even have time to scream before they, along with their thick armor, were turned into neat fragments. The Pure Yang True Fire flashed past along the cuts, completely burning all remaining flesh and blood into ash.

In mid-air, the one hundred behemoths disintegrated instantly. The metal fragments, like a rainstorm, crashed down onto the ruins of the mining field below, kicking up a sky full of crimson dust.

A one-hit clearing. Utterly clean and without a trace of hesitation.

The four-armed, green-scaled commander stood on a towering rock in the distance, his four eyes wide open, his legs trembling violently and uncontrollably. One hundred of the most elite Sirius mechs had been wiped out in less than three seconds. This was not a battle; it was a one-sided slaughter.

The commander turned around and, using both hands and feet, scrambled desperately toward the giant transport ship in the rear.

High in the sky, several hovering giant transport ships sensed the situation on the ground and immediately activated their anti-gravity engines. Blinding blue exhaust flames erupted from the rear of the ships as they prepared to escape the atmosphere.

Su Yang looked up, his gaze locking onto the massive starships accelerating into the sky. He flipped his right hand, and a diamond-shaped Crystal Core emitting a gray light appeared in his palm. It was the Gravity Origin he had previously extracted from the Starry Sky Demon Toad's body.

Pure Yang True Qi poured into the Crystal Core like a mighty river.

"Come down."

The gray Crystal Core erupted with dazzling light. The hundred-thousand-fold gravity field instantly reversed; it was no longer repelling outward, but forming a massive suction force that acted directly upon the ascending transport ships.

The extreme suction was like an invisible giant hand, gripping the hulls of the ships tightly.

Boom!

The transport ships' engines erupted with blue light at maximum power, but they were completely unable to resist this terrifying gravitational pull. The massive hulls instantly lost their balance and, like several pieces of heavy scrap metal, plummeted straight down from high altitude.

An earth-shattering roar echoed throughout the entire No. 7 Mining Field. The several kilometer-long transport ships slammed heavily into the crimson ground, breaking into several large pieces on the spot and creating several bottomless craters. Chain explosions erupted inside the hulls, igniting raging fires.

The four-armed commander had only run a few dozen steps when he was blown away by the violent shockwave kicked up by the falling warships, crashing heavily onto the hard rock. Three of his four arms were broken on the spot, and he vomited a mouthful of green blood, staining the armor on his chest.

Su Yang flashed, appearing like a golden bolt of lightning directly in front of the commander. He ruthlessly stepped his right foot onto the indentation in the commander's chest.

"You run quite fast." Su Yang's tone was flat, without the slightest fluctuation.

The commander was filled with despair, his eyes revealing deep terror.

"Demon! The Interstellar Court will absolutely..."

Su Yang couldn't be bothered to listen to nonsense; he spread the five fingers of his right hand and directly gripped the commander's scale-covered head. His golden Divine Sense pierced into the opponent's brain forcefully, launching a soul search.

A massive stream of information instantly flooded into Su Yang's Sea of Consciousness.

Memory images flashed by rapidly. This encirclement was merely a vanguard probe by the Interstellar Court. Information about the appearance of the Pure Yang Body had already spread across this Star Domain. The Interstellar Court had issued a highest-level Universe kill order.

Currently, a giant Starry Sky Fortress named "Ares" was crossing the galaxy, heading at full speed toward this abandoned mining planet. The fortress was comparable in size to a small satellite and was equipped with planet-destroying weapons. Three Interstellar Court presiding judges, all top-tier powerhouses at the Middle Stage of the Void Refining stage, were stationed inside the fortress.

The search complete, Su Yang released his right hand.

The commander's brain had been completely destroyed by the violent Divine Sense, turning him into a corpse of an idiot with dull eyes. Golden flames surged from the soles of Su Yang's feet, instantly burning the corpse into a pile of white ash that scattered with the wind.

Qin Xueji, Bai Li, Chu Ling, and Mary walked over from the rear.

Qin Xueji was wearing a slim-fit professional suit and high heels, carefully avoiding the fire pits on the ground. Looking at the mech fragments covering the ground, her eyes were filled with awe.

"Boss, the mech material is very special; there should be well-preserved energy cores and weapon modules inside. If we collect them, it could significantly improve the technological reserves of our Inner World's arsenal." Qin Xueji provided professional advice immediately.

"Go collect them. Move everything into the Inner World and hand it to Zero for analysis." Su Yang nodded and ordered.

Qin Xueji accepted the order, took out a large Storage Pouch, and began skillfully scavenging for loot in the ruins. The billionaire CEO was crisp and efficient at the task of collecting resources.

Mary flapped her black bat wings and landed on the edge of the transport ship wreckage. Her tight leather suit outlined her hot curves, and she covered her nose in disgust.

"It's all broken scrap metal, smelling of burnt machine oil and alien stinking blood. I can't even find a drop of delicious fresh blood; what a letdown." Mary complained, pouting her rosy lips.

Chu Ling, in an ice-blue dress fluttering in the wind, still had Battle Intent on her beautiful face. She held an icy blue ice sword and vigilantly looked around.

"Boss, will the Sirius God Clan's reinforcements still come? Should we set up defensive Formations in advance?" Chu Ling asked.

Bai Li waved her round fan, her nine snowy white fox tails slowly spreading out behind her. Her purple eyes examined the fallen transport ships, and she said softly: "Su Yang, did you find any useful intelligence?"

Su Yang had his hands in his pockets, his gaze looking toward the deep, pitch-black sky.

"The Interstellar Court has sent a Starry Sky Fortress. There are three old guys at the Middle Stage of Void Refining sitting inside. They are heading toward this planet." Su Yang's tone was relaxed, as if he were talking about a few flies about to arrive.

Hearing "Middle Stage of Void Refining," Bai Li's expression became slightly solemn.

"Powerhouses at the Middle Stage of Void Refining have mastered the true Law of Space, and their strength far exceeds that of the Soul Transformation Stage. Three powerhouses of the same rank working together, plus the heavy firepower of a Starry Sky Fortress, cannot be underestimated."

The corners of Su Yang's mouth curled up.

"Defense? There is no such word as defense in Su Yang's dictionary."

Su Yang's gaze turned toward a transport ship that was less damaged. Only the rear thrusters of the hull were damaged, and the main structure remained intact.

"Since they traveled such a long way to die, we must go and welcome them. Fix this ship, fly it directly over there, and smash their broken fortress."

Qin Xueji moved quickly, collecting all of the over one hundred mech cores. She walked to Su Yang's side and handed him the Storage Pouch with both hands.

Su Yang put away the Storage Pouch, and a dazzling silver light flashed between his brows.

The space gate of the world king bead opened.

Thousands of silver-white nano-repair robots flew out from the Inner World. Like a dense swarm of bees, they rushed directly toward the half-broken giant transport ship. The technological prowess of the Mechanical Divine Kingdom was fully displayed at this moment.

The broken hull was rapidly re-welded, and the burnt circuits were replaced with brand-new spiritual energy materials. The pits on the armor's surface were perfectly filled by liquid metal.

In just a dozen minutes, the massive transport ship looked brand new. The surface of the hull lit up with a deep blue energy luster, and the damaged areas were repaired seamlessly.

"Board the ship."

Su Yang took the lead and walked onto the wide metal boarding ramp of the transport ship.

The four women followed closely behind. Walking inside the transport ship, the space was immense. There were no luxurious decorations, only cold metal walls and various weapon consoles.

Entering the cockpit, Su Yang took out a pure blue star core and pressed it directly into the core slot of the main console.

The virtual screen lit up instantly. The holographic projection of "Zero," the main computer of the Mechanical Divine Kingdom, emerged. She was wearing a silver bodysuit, her appearance was stunningly beautiful, and she had no emotional fluctuations.

"Dominator. The warship System has been taken over. The underlying firewall has been rewritten. Star map coordinates have been locked. The space jump engine is charged." Zero's voice was ethereal and cold, reporting the various data quickly.

"Depart. Target: Ares Fortress."

Su Yang turned and sat on the wide metal command chair.

Powerful anti-gravity energy erupted from the bottom of the transport ship. The massive hull rose silently into the high sky.

The space in front of the warship distorted severely, forming a huge, deep blue wormhole. The transport ship turned into a stream of light, instantly diving into the wormhole and disappearing above the crimson mining planet.
