152: Chapter 152 The Ancient Enchanting Fox Clan

The vast star sea was deep and cold.

Countless broken star remains acted as silent tombstones, floating in this silent darkness, recounting past glories and current decay.

In this eternal silence, a massive fleet that should have been out of place, yet strangely blended into the darkness, was sailing silently at a constant speed.

At the forefront of the fleet was a massive, mysterious black warship.

Its volume was larger than some small stars.

The hull was cast from unknown divine metal, with dark golden Dao patterns flowing over it, as if it could absorb all light.

The lifelike, ferocious Ancestral Dragon statue at the bow exuded a supreme imperial might that would make even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal tremble.

It was the heavenly emperor!

Behind the heavenly emperor, thousands of slightly smaller, yet still mountain-sized Star River-class warships followed like a loyal school of sharks, closely guarding their emperor, forming a sharp, peerless cone-shaped attack Formation.

The entire fleet was a moving forest of steel, an ancient beast hibernating in the darkness, ready to devour anyone.

In stark contrast to the fleet's cold and murderous exterior, the deck of the heavenly emperor, wider than a plaza, was a scene of warmth and even "noise".

"Hahaha, little brother, come and catch me! You can't catch me!"

Wearing a pink princess dress, the lively and adorable Li Qingyue was running lightly on the deck.

Behind her, her younger brother Li Lei, who had just learned to walk, was chasing unsteadily. Every step it took, "crackling" sounds erupted under its feet, splashing out tiny golden lightning flowers.

In a nearby corner, Li Daoyan, the Hongmeng Array Body, was squatting on the ground, its small hands holding a twig it had picked up from somewhere, intently carving something on the deck.

As it carved, mysterious Formation patterns appeared out of thin air, drawing upon the surrounding power of the Void Realm, condensing into a palm-sized model of the Zhou Tian Star Array. Three hundred and sixty-five miniature stars rotated slowly within it, looking quite beautiful.

Li Yan, who possessed the Saint Emperor Body of Will Manifests as Law, sat solemnly beside it, pointing out the landscape on the Formation model with a serious air.

"Let there be light."

It said in a milky voice.

With a "hum", a small sun actually lit up in the center of the model Formation.

"Let there be wind."

A whistling breeze began to blow within the Formation.

"Let there be... candied hawthorn!"

Li Yan seemed to have thought of something delicious, and drool was almost flowing out.

This time, the Formation remained motionless.

The little guy was immediately unhappy, its small mouth pouting, feeling aggrieved that the Formation did not listen to it.

Li Xuan sat not far away on an imperial throne carved from a single piece of Chaos Immortal Jade, with several graceful concubines smiling and peeling immortal fruits, feeding them to his mouth.

He looked at the energetic little ones on the deck, chasing and playing, treating their various Heaven-Defying Divine Abilities as toys, with a faint smile on his face.

Conquest and slaughter were merely means for him to protect this peace.

This warm scene before him was the life he truly wanted.

Let the secretary do the work, and when there's nothing to do... ahem, enjoy life, this is the rhythm a successful person should have.

"Report—"

A Heavenly General wearing dark armor walked quickly out of the cabin and knelt on one knee before Li Xuan.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Heavenly Eye boat has received a message. At a Void Realm coordinate 370,000 miles ahead of the fleet's route, a very weak Divine Thought of distress has been detected."

The Heavenly General's voice broke the warm atmosphere on the deck.

The children who were playing also stopped curiously, looking in unison at their father.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and took the Jade Slip handed over by the Heavenly General.

His Divine Thought probed in, and a fragmented thought full of despair, fear, and pleading rang in his mind.

"Save... save us..."

"...We are the... Ancient Charm Fox Clan..."

"...Ambushed by the Black Shark Plunder Group..."

"...Any... Senior passing by, I beg you... save us... willing to... offer our clan's supreme treasure... Fox Saint Heart... as a reward..."

The Divine Thought ended abruptly here, clearly the sender was either exhausted or had been discovered by the enemy.

"Ancient Charm Fox?"

Li Xuan put down the Jade Slip, his face expressionless.

He had never been interested in such idle matters encountered halfway.

His goal was very clear: the Central Immortal Realm, to dismantle that so-called organization, and incidentally wipe out the old home of the Immortal King Qianyang.

As for whether it was a fox or a rat, what did it have to do with him?

"Your Majesty, do you need to change the route to avoid it?"

The Heavenly General asked for instructions, "The Black Shark Plunder Group is a notorious tumor in this Star Domain. Their strength is not weak. It is said that their leader, the Black Shark King, is a Peak Taiyi expert infinitely close to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with hundreds of warships under his command, and they are extremely vicious."

"Oh?"

Li Xuan rubbed his chin, still uninterested.

Just as he was about to order to ignore it and move forward at full speed, Consort Dan, who was the purest and kindest, couldn't help but speak. Looking at the innocent children, a trace of unbearable emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, that Ancient Charm Fox Clan sounds so pitiful... Are we... really not going to help?"

"Father!"

At this time, Li Qingyue also ran over, pulling Li Xuan's sleeve, looking up with her small face, her big watery eyes full of pleading.

"Let's go save them! Bad guys should be beaten away!"

Looking at his daughter's clear eyes, Li Xuan's heart softened inexplicably.

He pondered for a moment.

Fine, this fleet had just been formed. Apart from that long-range bombardment of the Corpse Immortal Sect, it had never conducted a real coordinated operation.

Let's just treat it as... a small practical exercise.

Besides, the Fox Saint Heart mentioned in the distress Divine Thought did not sound like an ordinary item.

With this in mind, Li Xuan already had a plan.

The corners of his mouth lifted again, his smile carrying a bit more consideration.

"Convey my decree."

His voice returned to the indifference and majesty that a heavenly emperor should have.

"Order the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Star River Fleets to form a trident attack Formation and jump to the target coordinates."

"Remember, what I want is not to rout, nor to expel."

"But..."

"To wipe them out."

"As you command!"

A gleam of excitement flashed in the Heavenly General's eyes. He stood up abruptly, turned around, and went to convey the order.

The moment he turned, in the fleet Formation behind the heavenly emperor, a full thousand Star River-class warships silently detached from the main team.

On their hulls, countless mysterious Formation patterns lit up simultaneously, the massive hulls began to become illusory, and the surrounding space twisted violently.

Without a trace of delay, without a trace of noise.

Immediately afterwards, a thousand massive Star River warships disappeared from their original positions out of thin air.

The terrifying mobility and coordination demonstrated would have shocked any power in the Immortal Realm if they had seen it.

On the Void Realm battlefield 370,000 miles away.

Dozens of warships painted with ferocious black shark patterns, with rough and fierce designs, were surrounding a tall ship made entirely of white jade, with a beautiful and elegant design, like a work of art.

Black annihilation beams and white defensive light shields collided fiercely in the Void Realm, bursting into brilliant light.

The defensive light shield of the white jade tall ship was flickering, clearly unable to hold on for much longer.

Inside the tall ship, a group of women in white long dresses, each with graceful figures and stunningly beautiful faces, were huddled together in terror.

Behind each of them, there was one or several fluffy fox tails hanging weakly.

The woman in the lead had an exceptionally outstanding appearance, her beauty captivating.

Nine silver-white fox tails swayed slightly behind her, showing her noble Bloodline.

She was none other than the current Saintess of the Ancient Charm Fox Clan, Su Jiuer.

"Saintess, the mountain protection array is almost unable to hold on!"

An Elder reported anxiously, "Has our distress signal been sent out?"

Su Jiuer's stunning face was full of bitterness and despair.

"It... it was sent out, but my Divine Thought has been exhausted... This Star Domain is so barren, who would come to save us?"

Boom—!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the last defensive light shield of the white jade tall ship finally declared its shattering!

"Hahahaha!"

On the flagship, a one-eyed giant with a burly figure, a face full of flesh, and a terrifying aura of Peak Taiyi, let out a wild laugh.

"Little ones, go for me! Catch that nine-tailed girl, and the others, do whatever you want! These are top-notch Ancient Charm Fox Clan members! Hahaha!"

Countless ferocious-looking space pirates swarmed out of the warships, turning into streams of light, pouncing towards the undefended white jade tall ship.

Su Jiuer and the group of Fox Clan members all showed expressions of determination and grief, preparing to burn their Bloodline to make a final stand.

The Void Realm around this battlefield distorted violently without warning!

Space seemed to be torn open like a painting into huge gaps!

Immediately after!

One!

Ten!

One hundred!

A thousand massive Star River warships, entirely mysterious black, with a golden mysterious bird emblem branded on the bow, full of cold and iron-blooded texture, squeezed out from those space cracks domineeringly!

As soon as they appeared, they occupied all positions of the battlefield with a domineering posture, reverse-surrounding the Black Shark Plunder Group warships that were preparing to "gorge themselves"!

This sudden scene left everyone stunned.

Whether it was the Fox Clan members who were about to despair, or the extremely excited space pirates, they all stared blankly at this ghost fleet that seemed to have emerged from Hell, unable to react for a moment.

"This... where did this fleet come from?!"

The Black Shark King's face sank. From this fleet, he smelled an iron-blooded and dangerous aura that made even him feel palpitations.

But years of domineering and fierceness made him still roar with a tough exterior:

"Where did you bastards come from?! Dare to meddle in the business of my Black Shark Plunder Group? State your names! Otherwise, together with you..."

His words were not yet finished.

On those thousand mysterious black warships, main cannons with huge calibers, entwined with destructive Law divine chains, lit up silently.

No warning.

No shouting.

No extra movements.

Everything around was deadly silent.

And... a cold order without any emotion came from the flagship of that ghost fleet.

"Fire."

Boom—!!!!

Immediately after.

Dazzling white light illuminated the entire starry sky!

Thousands of destructive beams, thick enough to pierce through stars, shot out at the same time!

They intertwined in the Void Realm into a real inescapable net!

A net woven from pure death and destruction!

"No—!! Activate the defense! Quickly activate the defense!"

The Black Shark King let out a scream that was distorted by terror.

Dozens of pirate ships hurriedly activated their energy shields.

However, the shields that were enough to withstand the fierce attacks of enemies of the same level in the past were vulnerable in front of this light rain that could purify everything.

"Chi la—"

Without any suspense.

The moment the shields touched the beams, they melted silently like snow in the sun.

Immediately after, the beams pierced through the rough and sturdy hulls of the warships.

No explosion, no roaring.

Those warships made of special alloys were directly, completely decomposed, gasified, and evaporated under that extremely high temperature and destructive power of Law!

From bow to stern, from deck to power core, not even a speck of dust was left!

As for those pirates who rushed out of the warships and pounced towards the white jade tall ship, they didn't even have time to let out a scream before they turned into nothingness under this death light net.

Just one volley.

In just a few breaths.

The Black Shark Plunder Group fleet, which had been arrogant and invincible just a moment ago, was completely wiped out from this starry sky just like that.

In the Void Realm, only that lonely white jade tall ship remained, and the group of Fox Clan members on the ship who were all stunned, looking at that mysterious black fleet with eyes like looking at gods.

Su Jiuer opened her rosy little mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open, feeling her heart almost stop beating.

Just now... what happened?

A crisis that could have wiped out her entire clan just... ended?

That mysterious fleet, from appearing, to firing, to ending the battle, the whole process did not even exceed ten breaths!

This... what kind of terrifying strength is this?!

She was emotionally stirred and shocked, when that mysterious fleet slowly separated into a passage, and an imperial ride that was countless times larger than all their warships combined, exuding supreme Divine Might, slowly drove into her field of vision from behind the fleet.

The heavenly emperor!

When Su Jiuer saw that warship, which just by existing could exude a pressure that made the stars dim and the Great Dao tremble, she plopped down, unable to hold on any longer, and knelt on the deck.
