130: Chapter 130 The Star Sea Alliance is Established, the Dao Protects Everlasting Prosperity

Before the celebratory bells of Blackstone City could cease, envoys from all realms of the Star Sea had already gathered.

Inside the Alliance Grand Hall, dozens of envoys bowed in greeting, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"We represent the realms of all races and respectfully request to join the Myriad Realms Guardian Alliance!"

The envoy of the Liuli Realm at the head took a step forward and presented the Alliance documents.

Ling Shuang accepted the documents, her eyes scanning the crowd. "The doors of the Alliance are forever open."

"However, everyone must abide by the Dao-protecting covenant, uphold justice, and jointly safeguard peace."

The envoys from all realms assented in unison, signing the covenant one after another and pressing down their spiritual seals.

Bai Yunzhou stood in the main position, clear light scattering around him. "Today, the Star Sea Guardian Alliance is officially formed!"

Thunderous applause erupted in the hall; the layout of the Star Sea was rewritten from this moment on.

"The Alliance will establish a Council of Elders, composed of core members of the Myriad Realms Guardian Alliance."

"Each participating realm will send representatives to deliberate on affairs, share resources, and jointly face crises."

Ling Shuang announced the charter of the Alliance. The envoys of all realms had no objections and accepted it gladly.

After the Alliance ceremony, envoys from various realms stayed in Blackstone City to exchange knowledge and learn.

The Star Spirit Guardian Academy opened its doors to all realms, accepting foreign Disciples for advanced study.

The Artifact Hall and Pill Hall also shared their techniques, helping various realms enhance their strength and develop together.

Bai Yunzhou inspected the Domains daily, not only patrolling the Myriad Realms but also visiting the participating realms.

Wherever he went, he imparted the concept of protecting the Dao and guided them on methods to repair Spiritual Veins.

The Cultivators of the participating realms benefited greatly, feeling an ever-growing sense of belonging to the Alliance.

The Yao Race of Qingmang Mountain also sent representatives to participate in Alliance affairs and contribute their strength.

The Old Ape Patriarch led craftsmen of the Yao Race to assist various realms in constructing Guardian strongholds.

Within the Star Sea, the cohesion of the Alliance grew stronger with each passing day, thriving with vitality.

However, beneath the peace, undercurrents were still surging.

The Investigation Department sent back a secret report: "Mysterious dark shadows have appeared at the edge of the Star Sea, moving in a bizarre manner."

"The shadows seem to be spying on the various realms of the Alliance, suspected to be a new threat."

Bai Yunzhou discussed with Ling Shuang and Zhou Zhiting: "We must ascertain the Origin of these dark shadows as soon as possible."

"I will lead the elites of the Investigation Department to investigate at the edge of the Star Sea," Song Xinghe volunteered.

Bai Yunzhou nodded. "Be extra careful. Send word immediately if you encounter danger."

Song Xinghe led the investigation team, boarding a concealed star skiff, and set off quietly.

The star skiff sped through the Star Sea, avoiding the Alliance patrol teams and heading straight for the border zone.

A few days later, the investigation team arrived at the edge of the Star Sea, and traces of the dark shadows emerged.

The dark shadows were numerous, enveloped in grey mist, exuding a cold and gloomy aura.

"These dark shadows seem to be gathering the energy of the star veins; their purpose is unknown," Song Xinghe transmitted his voice.

The team remained in ambush and observed, discovering that the dark shadows were extracting the power of star veins from small border realms.

The extracted star veins withered rapidly, plunging the living beings of the small realm into crisis.

"Strike to stop them!" With a command from Song Xinghe, the investigation team launched a surprise attack.

The Sword Qi of the star spirit guardian sword pierced straight toward the dark shadows, only to be blocked by the grey mist.

"This mist can defend against attacks; we need to use purifying power!"

The Disciples of the Investigation Department cast purification arts one after another, and the grey mist gradually dissipated.

The dark shadows revealed their true form—a horde of humanoid monsters with no eyes or mouths.

The monsters emitted sharp shrieks, the grey energy around them surging as they counterattacked the team.

After half a day of fierce fighting, although the investigation team killed several monsters, they also suffered casualties.

"These monsters are powerful and numerous; we need reinforcements!"

Song Xinghe sent out an urgent message while leading the team to retreat to avoid annihilation.

Receiving the message, Bai Yunzhou immediately summoned the elites of the allied forces: "Reinforce the edge of the Star Sea!"

Ling Shuang stayed behind at Blackstone City to coordinate Alliance affairs and guard against unexpected situations.

Bai Yunzhou and Zhou Zhiting led ten thousand allied troops onto star skiffs, speeding off into the distance.

By the time the star skiffs reached the edge of the Star Sea, the investigation team had been driven into a corner.

The horde of monsters pressed closer step by step, shrouded in grey energy, and over half the team was dead or injured.

"Chaos Domain, open!" Bai Yunzhou roared furiously, and his Domain instantly expanded.

The grey mist dissipated under the suppression of Laws, and the monsters' aura plummeted.

"Allied forces, attack!" Zhou Zhiting brandished her battle blood spear, and the allied forces launched a fierce assault.

The Sword Qi of the star spirit guardian swords intertwined as monsters fell one after another, their grey energy collapsing and scattering.

Song Xinghe led the surviving team members to break through, meeting up with the allied forces and finally escaping danger.

"Elder, the Origin of these monsters is unknown; we only know they extract star veins."

Bai Yunzhou activated his Chaos Eye to inspect the monster remains: "They are the 'Star Eclipse Clan'."

"They have existed since ancient times, feeding on star veins, and once caused the decline and fall of Star Domains."

Zhou Zhiting's face turned solemn. "If we allow them to grow unchecked, all realms of the Alliance will suffer a great disaster."

"We must completely purge the Star Eclipse Clan to prevent them from spreading to the core areas of the Alliance."

Bai Yunzhou gave the order, and the allied forces divided into several teams to conduct a sweep at the edge of the Star Sea.

Although the Star Eclipse Clan was powerful, they were no match for the elites of the allied forces and retreated step by step.

The sweep operation lasted for several months until the Star Eclipse Clan at the edge of the Star Sea was entirely wiped out.

However, Bai Yunzhou knew full well that this was only the advance force of the Star Eclipse Clan; the crisis had not been resolved.

"The nest of the Star Eclipse Clan is most likely in the desolate zone deep within the Star Sea."

"We must venture deep into the Star Sea, find the nest, and thoroughly eliminate the hidden danger."

After resting briefly, the allied forces marched toward the depths of the Star Sea to search for the Star Eclipse Clan's nest.

Deep within the Star Sea, it was barren and filled with stardust, void of any signs of life.

Using special Magical Artifacts, the Disciples of the Investigation Department sensed the energy fluctuations of the Star Eclipse Clan.

A few days later, a massive grey nest appeared in sight, floating in the Star Sea.

The nest was formed from condensed grey energy, constantly devouring the power of surrounding star veins.

"This is the Star Eclipse Clan's nest; we must destroy it in one blow!" Bai Yunzhou ordered.

The allied forces launched an offensive, and the purifying light of the star spirit light-gathering mirrors shot directly at the nest.

The grey energy of the nest fluctuated violently but did not shatter, possessing astonishing defense.

"The core of the Star Eclipse Clan is at the center of the nest; we must breach the interior."

Bai Yunzhou transformed into a azure rainbow and pounced toward the nest, his chaos star spirit sword cleaving open a passage.

Zhou Zhiting led the elites close behind, charging into the interior of the nest.

Inside the nest, the leader of the Star Eclipse Clan was sitting in the center, extracting star vein energy.

The leader had a massive body and dense grey energy, with strength reaching the Late Stage of Void Refining.

"Human Cultivator, how dare you trespass into my territory? You seek death!"

The Star Eclipse leader shrieked, its grey energy condensing into a giant fist that smashed straight toward Bai Yunzhou.

"Chaos Star Spirit Slash!" A cyan-purple sword gang met it, colliding with the giant fist.

After a loud boom, the giant fist shattered, and the sword gang's momentum remained unabated as it thrust straight toward the leader.

The Star Eclipse leader dodged to the side as its grey energy transformed into sharp blades, counterattacking.

Bai Yunzhou engaged in a fierce battle with the Star Eclipse leader, his Chaos Domain fully suppressing it.

Zhou Zhiting led the elites to clear out the ordinary Star Eclipse Clan members inside the nest.

The grey energy within the nest gradually dissipated, and the defenses of the Star Eclipse Clan continuously weakened.

Seeing that the tide was against it, the Star Eclipse leader wanted to ignite the nest and detonate itself to break through.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Bai Yunzhou burned a portion of his Origin, his strength skyrocketing briefly.

"Star Spirit Chaos · World-Destroying Strike!" The sword gang condensed into a giant Star Sea beast, piercing straight toward the leader.

The giant beast devoured the Star Eclipse leader; the grey energy vanished instantly, and the leader died.

Losing its core power, the nest collapsed with a roar, turning into stardust that scattered away.

The threat of the Star Eclipse Clan in the depths of the Star Sea was completely resolved, and the Alliance's crisis dissipated.

The soldiers of the allied forces cheered joyfully; after months of hard fighting, victory was finally theirs.

Yet Bai Yunzhou had a solemn expression: "The Star Sea is vast, and many unknown dangers remain."

"The Alliance must continue to grow and enhance its strength in order to protect peace for a long time."

Carrying the joy of victory, the allied forces returned to Blackstone City, and news spread throughout the Alliance.

Cultivators from all realms cheered, their confidence in the Alliance growing ever firmer.

Ling Shuang held a grand celebration to welcome the triumphant return of the allied forces and honor those who contributed.

At the celebration, Bai Yunzhou announced: "The Alliance will form a Star Sea Patrol Team."

"They will be stationed across various regions of the Star Sea to closely monitor and guard against unknown threats."

The participating realms responded enthusiastically, sending elite Cultivators to join the patrol team.

The Star Sea Patrol Team was officially established, divided into ten squads to guard key areas.

Equipped with the most advanced star skiffs and Spirit Treasures, the patrol teams were ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
