22: The second spatial passage, the Shadow Clan

In the 125th year of Dawn, the Federation fully occupied the Deep Sea Star.

They also found another Space Tunnel, but unfortunately, the intelligent creatures inside had also been slaughtered by the Sea Clan.

It seems the Sea Clan is indeed a brutal race.

After occupying the Deep Sea Star, the Federation utilized the Sea Clan's affinity for the water element to forge them into a special device, which was placed in the oceans of Blue Star to calm the waves.

In the 126th year of Dawn, Lan Tian's Physical Body strength reached 5 million kilograms, and when manifesting his Martial Body True Form, he could reach over two hundred meters. However, Lan Tian soon discovered that he could no longer increase his Physical Body strength.

This should be the limit of the Physical Body that a Fifth Realm Martial Artist can reach.

Even though the influence of Physical Body strength on combat power is minimal after the Fourth Realm Martial Artist stage, you still use it as a standard for judging human potential.

You speculate that if a person is born with a Transcendent Body, their Physical Body strength must reach 5,000 kilograms before making a Breakthrough, at which point the situation where strength doubles upon breaking human limits will occur.

In other words, the inherent potential of a naturally born Transcendent Body is more than three times higher than that of everyone currently below the Fifth Realm Martial Artist level.

Even without needing to Cultivate, such a person would naturally have a lifespan of over two hundred years.

Of course, there are no naturally born Transcendent Body individuals right now, unless they are children born from the union of two Martial Artists who have condensed a Transcendent Body.

Unfortunately, although some Fifth Realm Martial Artists have become couples, it seems that because they already possess a Transcendent Body, the probability of the female becoming pregnant has become very small.

In the 126th year of Dawn, the Federation also occupied the worlds connected to the two Space Tunnels on the Deep Sea Star.

They discovered that after fully occupying the Deep Sea Star, the suppression force felt when entering the other side of these two Space Tunnels became very minimal.

You speculate that since the Deep Sea Star belongs to you after the occupation, one layer of suppression has been removed.

Although these three worlds combined are not even half the size of Blue Star, the Federation still obtained many rare metals and Spirit Medicine from them.

In the 127th year of Dawn, the Federation mastered nuclear fusion technology and built the first spaceship.

The maximum speed of this spaceship can reach 15% of the speed of light.

Unfortunately, this speed is not yet sufficient for interstellar travel.

Furthermore, after the appearance of the Space Tunnels, the Federation has slowed down its plans to explore the Universe and the starry sky.

In the 128th year of Dawn, your strength reached 400,000 tons.

By this time, the Federation had developed many weapons based on nuclear fusion.

They are also attempting to analyze Spiritual Qi; previously, the Federation could convert Spiritual Qi into electricity, and now they want to try converting energy sources like electricity into Spiritual Qi.

In the 129th year of Dawn, the first child born from the union of Fifth Realm Martial Artists appeared.

Subsequently, the Federation performed cellular testing on him.

As expected, this infant was born with a Transcendent Body, and even just after birth, he is stronger than an adult before the Spiritual Qi Recovery.

Based on this situation, if everyone on Blue Star could Cultivate to become a Fifth Realm Martial Artist who has condensed a Transcendent Body...

…then in the future, humanity on Blue Star would truly be a transcendent race, transcendent from birth.

Of course, you also know that this goal is very far off; after all, over a long period of time, neither the current high-level officials of the Federation nor the current Fifth Realm Martial Artists can guarantee that they will still have the same original intention of serving Blue Star wholeheartedly hundreds of years from now.

Even now, if it weren't for you suppressing everything, how could the interior of the Federation be so harmonious?

What the Federation needs to do now is to move towards this goal as much as possible, and to get closer to this goal, the most important thing is, of course, the Space Tunnels.

After all, the vast majority of problems arise from conflicts of interest; as long as Blue Star occupies more planets and possesses more resources, there will be no major conflicts of interest.

In April of the 130th year of Dawn, another kilometer-long space rift appeared on Blue Star, located deep in the mountains.

As soon as this space rift appeared, it fluctuated rapidly. Within a short time, it expanded into a Space Tunnel.

Although the Federation reacted instantly and aimed their weapons at this location, the race on the other side of the tunnel seemed a bit strange.

The Federation only saw a black shadow rush out from the other side of the tunnel, and then this black shadow disappeared.

Discovering this situation, the Federation urgently notified everyone in the world that if they discovered any strange creatures, they should report it immediately.

Unfortunately, it was already too late; the Federation did not know that the black shadow was Anxin, a super scout of the Shadow Clan.

The Shadow Clan is a strange race, and their hierarchy is even more distinct than that of the Sea Clan; Advanced Shadow Clan members can unconditionally order low-level Shadow Clan members to do anything.

The Shadow Clan is naturally close to the dark element and has extremely strong concealment abilities, capable of possessing weak life forms to pry into others' memories.

Not only that, Anxin also possesses the extremely rare ability of space teleportation.

And this spatial ability, coupled with the Shadow Clan's innate abilities, makes it perfect for infiltration work.

Five Space Tunnels have already appeared on the Shadow Clan's planet; except for the first Space Tunnel, every time a Space Tunnel appeared afterward, Anxin was sent to infiltrate the world on the other side to gather intelligence.

Finally, they would make targeted attacks based on the specific situation of the opposing world.

In just ten days, through continuous possession, Anxin had already grasped most of the situation on Blue Star, especially regarding you.

The information obtained during these ten days shocked Anxin.

Because judging from the information, Blue Star's potential is too great; in such a short time since the appearance of Spiritual Qi, so many powerhouses have emerged.

One must know that the number of Fifth Realm Martial Artist level powerhouses that the Shadow Planet has developed over a thousand years is not much higher than that of Blue Star, and even if they have some powerhouses above the Fifth Realm, Blue Star still has you, whose depth is unknown.

Moreover, Blue Star also has the phenomenon of the planet growing larger, something he had never even heard of.

Once, Anxin possessed an ordinary person and wanted to use the Shadow Planet's special equipment to probe your strength.

As a result, within a hundred miles of you, just as he was about to use the equipment to probe your aura, your malice was detected by you.

Your Martial Dao will instantly attacked his position.

However, because the distance was too far, Anxin only suffered a severe mental injury, and then immediately fled.

Enduring the immense pain in his mind, Anxin did not hesitate and returned to the Shadow Clan without stopping.

Subsequently, he reported the situation of Blue Star and your strength.

After an analysis, the Shadow Clan felt that Blue Star's threat was too great, and given the strength you displayed, it seemed no one in the Shadow Clan was your match.

Now with an existence like you who exceeds the standard, under the condition of world suppression, they cannot cause any harm to Blue Star at all.

And if humanity on Blue Star is allowed to continue developing, sooner or later, their Shadow Clan will be finished.

Therefore, they must strike at the vital point now, while Blue Star has not yet reacted.

After discussions among the high-level officials of the Shadow Clan, they felt that since the reason Blue Star now possesses so many experts is because of you, they must first remove you, the greatest threat, and then slowly devour Blue Star.

Subsequently, the King of the Shadow Clan took out a strange bow and arrow filled with a bloody aura and wrapped in mysterious runes.

This bow and arrow was a terrifying weapon they had seized from an alien planet.

According to the indigenous people of that world, this bow and arrow was dug out from a large pit an unknown amount of time ago.

The ability of this bow and arrow is to accumulate terrifying curse energy within the bow body through the blood sacrifice of intelligent life.

Afterward, as long as the enemy's aura is locked with the bow and arrow and it is fired, the enemy will be struck by this curse.

This curse can cause a person's life Origin to gradually dissipate until death.

Of course, the number of blood sacrifices required depends on the strength of the curse.

At that time, that planet could not unleash the maximum power of this bow and arrow because it had too few intelligent life forms.

The Shadow Clan guessed that this bow and arrow could not have been crafted by the natives of that planet at all; it was definitely an object from beyond the heavens.

And after seizing this bow and arrow, the Shadow Clan used it to kill many experts from other planets.

It can be said that this weapon played a major role in the Shadow Clan being able to invade five Space Tunnels simultaneously.

Now they are going to use this weapon to get rid of you.

Subsequently, the Shadow Clan did not hesitate; they gathered all the indigenous people within the five planets they occupied and immediately began the blood sacrifice.

As the blood sacrifice unfolded, the mysterious runes on the bow and arrow began to turn blood-red bit by bit.

According to the Shadow Clan's experience from using it many times, as long as these runes are filled by one-tenth, they can kill a Fifth Realm Martial Artist on Blue Star.

And for every 1/10 increase in the blood-red runes, the number of people required for the blood sacrifice increases significantly; the Shadow Clan had never let the blood-red runes exceed three-tenths when they used it before.

Even at three-tenths, no one could survive under the curse.

For you, whose depth is unknown, the Shadow Clan decided that there could not be the slightest bit of luck; it must be filled completely!

As more and more lives were sacrificed, the indigenous people of those planets were all dead, yet it was still not full; helplessly, they had to let their own Shadow Clan people go up.

In their view, if it were filled and still could not kill you, then it would mean that such is the destiny of the Shadow Clan, and they might as well just wait for death; and if they failed to kill you by just a little bit because it wasn't full, they would curse themselves as complete idiots.
