196: Chapter 196 Shocking All Sides

Half a day later.

Outer space, in front of Guanglan Planet.

Ji Yebai and Ralva stood in the Void Realm, shrouded in golden light.

Ralva lacked the ability to survive in space, but Ji Yebai possessed it.

The Nirvana Realm is equivalent to the Saint Rank, and it also gives birth to Immortal Light.

Thus, Ji Yebai could easily take someone into space.

Ralva looked at the mottled Guanglan Planet with a silent expression; after a while, he turned his gaze to Ji Yebai.

"My Lord, please take action!"

Ji Yebai nodded without speaking.

He extended a finger and tapped lightly.

Instantly, a crimson speck of light shot out.

The speck of light expanded with the wind, quickly transforming into a massive flaming beast.

The Vermilion Bird.

As the Vermilion Bird entered Guanglan Planet's atmosphere, its size had already surged to hundreds of meters.

At that moment.

The massive Vermilion Bird phantom paused slightly, and its large body began to split.

It split into two, becoming two slightly smaller Vermilion Bird phantoms.

The two Vermilion Birds parted ways, flying in opposite directions.

During flight, the two smaller Vermilion Birds split into two again.

In this way, one became two, two became four, four became eight...

In a short time, countless Vermilion Bird phantoms appeared within Guanglan Planet.

The countless phantoms constructed a massive network, enveloping the entire Guanglan Planet.

Next, the countless Vermilion Bird phantoms began to burst with red light.

The blazing red light spread, rapidly shrouding the entire Guanglan Planet along the constructed network.

The eye-piercing red light soared into the sky, and the entire Guanglan Planet suddenly ignited.

At this moment, even though the Demonic Clouds and Mist still shrouded Guanglan Planet, they were pierced by the eye-piercing red light.

In a short time, the entire Demonic Clouds and Mist were also ignited.

Raging fires burned; at this moment, Guanglan Planet seemed to turn into a giant fireball. The flames soared into the sky, using the Demonic Clouds and Mist as fuel to burst forth with even more intense fire.

Outer space.

Ji Yebai quietly watched the fire enveloping the entire planet before him.

At this moment, the distance between the two was far enough, yet they could still feel the high temperature brought by the raging fire.

Those waves of heat could melt any steel.

Under the reflection of the blinding firelight, the surrounding Universe was illuminated.

Ji Yebai sighed softly.

He had personally ignited a planet.

This feeling did not bring him satisfaction; instead, it brought a hint of melancholy.

At this moment, he truly realized why Technological Civilizations could not become a decisive force in this energy-filled Universe.

The power unleashed with the help of Laws was simply too terrifying.

Just like now.

He used the Law of Fire to strike with the Vermilion Bird phantom.

This strike didn't have much power other than high-temperature combustion.

But the most crucial point lay in the application of the Law.

The Vermilion Bird phantom continuously accumulated energy while flying, and upon reaching a critical point, it would split.

Until the constructed Network of Laws covered the entire globe.

Ji Yebai had just counted.

He had only pointed out one Vermilion Bird, but in the end, the entire Vermilion Bird group split twenty times.

The number exceeded one million.

And the entire process took no more than four hours.

It could be said to be incredibly swift.

Even if these Vermilion Bird phantoms could only bring a sky full of fire and had no other special abilities, it was still terrifying.

If a Technological Civilization were to defend against this, it would be truly difficult.

This is the current state of Cosmic Civilizations.

Only those at the Saint Rank can face the Saint Rank.

Ji Yebai felt deeply moved.

Meanwhile, Ralva, who was beside him, suddenly knelt down.

He kowtowed heavily toward Guanglan Planet and did not rise for a long time.

When he did rise, his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

Incredibly cold words squeezed out of his mouth.

"As a Demon Suppressor, I accepted the mission but could not stop the demons, leading to the fall of the Guanglan Civilization. It is truly my fault. From now on, I, Ralva, am irreconcilable with demons. If I am fortunate enough to step into the Saint Rank, I will definitely slaughter every demon I see!"

After speaking.

He kowtowed heavily once more.

Never had there been a moment that made Ralva hate demons so much.

Previously, he often enjoyed the convenience and pride brought by his status as a Demon Suppressor, but now, his heart was devoid of pride, leaving only a heavy sense of responsibility.

"As long as demons persist, Cosmic Civilizations will continue to fall!"

"And this is our responsibility as Demon Suppressors!"

Ralva's expression turned indifferent as he slowly rose.

There are countless planets and civilizations in the Cosmic Union.

In recent years, demons have been emerging continuously; even if they were all small-scale outbreaks, they have brought significant harm to the entire Cosmic Civilization.

Every appearance of a demon represents the death of tens of millions of living beings.

Demons grow through slaughter.

They continuously massacre Cosmic Civilizations, growing themselves on one hand and inciting turmoil in the Universe on the other.

Turmoil means conflict.

And conflict brings death.

The aura of death allows demons to grow.

Hearing Ralva's words, Ji Yebai's gaze fell on him, and he nodded approvingly.

The current Ralva was a completely different person from when they first met.

That high-and-mighty pride was gone, and his whole being seemed more solid.

It could be said that the current Ralva had undergone a baptism from his will to his Soul.

Sensing Ji Yebai's gaze.

Ralva turned around and bowed to Ji Yebai with cupped fists: "Thank you, My Lord, for taking action this time! Without your intervention, not only would we have been unable to stop the demon massacre, but even my own life would have been in danger!"

Seeing this, Ji Yebai couldn't help but wave his hand: "Since I knew about such a matter, I naturally wouldn't sit idly by!"

"Your Lordship is merciful!"

Ralva sighed with emotion, then said respectfully: "I must trouble Your Lordship to take me to the Panxi Civilization; I need to use them to return to the Alliance!"

"Once I return to the Alliance, I will submit a report to admit my guilt, clarify my mistakes, and also report Your Lordship's achievements!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Ji Yebai fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Ralva and said: "This time, I do not wish for too much exposure."

Ralva was slightly stunned.

He looked up at Ji Yebai and said: "My Lord, after reporting this, not only can you personally obtain resources, but even the Blue Star Civilization can receive a large amount of resources!"

He paused, then continued: "Moreover, you have created a new path to the Saint Rank. This merit is enough to make the Blue Star Civilization famous throughout the Universe!"

At this point, Ralva paused and asked carefully: "My Lord, are you worried about the safety of the rest of the Blue Star Civilization? You can rest assured about this; as long as the Alliance knows that Blue Star Civilization's cultivation can give birth to a new path to the Saint Rank, they will definitely protect the Blue Star Civilization with all their might. I can guarantee this on my honor!"

Ralva spoke very sincerely, and his tone was quite urgent.

But Ji Yebai still shook his head.

"The foundation of the Blue Star Civilization is ultimately too thin. If it is protected by the Cosmic Union now and has no sense of crisis, it will naturally become useless!"

The Blue Star Civilization has been in the Great Migration for three hundred years.

In these three hundred years, not a single person from the new generation has reached the Life and Death Realm.

There was only one, and that was Li Yi, who was an Incarnation of Molog.

This situation was even worse than during the Blue Star's Spiritual Qi recovery era.

Back then, although the cultivation environment was poor, experts emerged continuously.

The reason lies in a sense of crisis, even a sense of competition.

Only with competition is there creativity and the heart of a fearless warrior.

Why was Ji Yebai able to persist in the deep mountains of Zhangjiajie for ten years, and even later remain patient and continue his cultivation?

Ultimately, it was his desire for the achievements of someone like Bai Zhu.

He took Bai Zhu as a rival, constantly surpassing himself and climbing to new heights.

With a spirit of great fearlessness, he directly released five types of Divine Will, completely plunging himself into a transformation of silence.

Although this caused him to sleep for three hundred years, it also allowed him to step into the Life and Death Realm in one go, and even directly interact with the Laws of the Universe after leaving the Void Land.

In the current Blue Star Civilization, the highest cultivation of the new generation is only the Innate realm. In Ji Yebai's view, what they lack is competition and a sense of crisis.

Hearing this.

Ralva seemed to realize something.

Previously, he only considered that Ji Yebai might be worried about the safety of the Blue Star Civilization, but he ignored the internal changes of the civilization.

He immediately cupped his fists and said with shame: "The Blue Star Civilization is truly fortunate to have Your Lordship!"

"My Lord, after I return, I will explain your existence and concerns to the Speaker of the Demon Suppression Division!"

"Because it involves demons, Demon Suppressors undergo a consciousness evaluation upon their return, so I cannot directly hide your existence!"

"No matter, I believe the Speaker will be reasonable!"

Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

Although he had never met this so-called Speaker.

But as the pioneer of a path to the Saint Rank, he was enough to attract attention.

The Saint Rank is already very strong, and being the pioneer of a Saint Rank path makes one an even stronger existence.

Throughout history, pioneers either die miserably or possess world-shaking strength.

For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the long river of Huaxia's civilization history were the first to start an uprising, but the late emperor's enterprise was not yet half-finished before he met an untimely end, resulting in a tragic conclusion.

In contrast, Zhu Zhongba was different; starting as a mere beggar, he rose ninety thousand miles and sat in the central hall of the Great Ming, where no one dared to provoke him.

Hearing Ji Yebai's words, Ralva cupped his fists and bowed without saying anything more.

The two of them stopped talking and fell silent.

Their gazes fell on the burning Guanglan Planet, silently watching the towering flames.

Towering tongues of fire swept up, eventually burning through Guanglan Planet's atmosphere.

The planet's magnetic field also became completely chaotic in the fire until it lost its constraint, completely releasing the entire planet's atmosphere into the Universe.

The coldness of the Universe swept in.

The towering fire began to subside.

At this moment, the entire Guanglan Planet was like burnt-out firewood; as the flames receded, only flickering embers remained.

Such a massive disturbance on Guanglan Planet naturally could not be hidden from other civilizations in the 357 Star Sector.

On the nearest civilized planets.

They had already discovered the abnormality of Guanglan Planet by now.

Guanglan Planet in the night sky directly erupted with eye-piercing red light, like a burning fireball, which scared them out of their wits.

As subordinates who had already submitted to the Panxi Civilization, they reported to the Panxi Civilization immediately.

After learning of this, the Panxi Civilization observed the fire that had swallowed the entire planet through technical means.

This directly left them dumbfounded.

"Guanglan Planet... is on fire!?"

Not to mention the people who observed it directly didn't believe it, even the high-level officials of the Panxi Civilization didn't believe such a fantasy.

Until they saw the video in the observer's hands, they were still incredibly stunned and incredulous.

"How could Guanglan Planet be on fire!?"

"That's a planet; how could a planet catch such a large fire for no reason!?"

The entire high-level leadership of the Panxi Civilization was shocked.

Ordinary means, even Advanced means of a Technological Civilization, could not completely ignite a planet.

If it were said that technological means had detonated a planet, they would believe it, but this was clearly not that!

Although the Guanglan Civilization was very closed and xenophobic, lacking a large population and high-end cultivation warriors, it was only a marginal civilization in the 357 Star Sector and was not taken seriously.

But this was a civilization of the 357 Star Sector after all!

How could a civilization of this level catch such a fire for no reason? Anyone thinking with their toes would know there must be a secret behind this.

Technology or other things capable of igniting a planet were something even the Panxi Civilization, which now considered itself the Ruler, did not possess.

Anything that could ignite Guanglan Planet could potentially ignite other planets, even the home planet of the Panxi Civilization.

Whether this was a special item or another dangerous sign.

This immediately made the Panxi Civilization unable to sit still.

"No... we have to go and take a look immediately!"

Thinking of the hidden threat, the Panxi Civilization couldn't wait.

They immediately dispatched warships to head for Guanglan Planet.

Not just the Panxi Civilization, the old Draiden Star Civilization did the same.

As for the Blue Star Civilization, they were still immersed in panic.

Daliven's previous unexplained departure and the subsequent golden dagger's pressure over the entire globe had left the government in a state of chaos.

Various preventive measures were constantly being organized.

They naturally observed the changes on Guanglan Planet as well.

The Blue Star Civilization actually held goodwill toward Guanglan Planet; in fact, the first civilization the Blue Star Civilization government planned to befriend in its "distant diplomacy" policy was the Guanglan Civilization.

Not only because the Guanglan Civilization was far away and in a marginal position, but also because the developmental era the Guanglan Civilization was in was similar to that of the Ancient Huaxia civilization.

With the Ancient Huaxia civilization as a reference, they could better bridge the gap between each other.

As a result, before this policy could show any results, Guanglan Planet actually ignited with a sky-high fire...

The entire Blue Star Civilization government looked at each other in dismay.

However, this made them feel a strong sense of crisis; a series of three major changes had made the government completely tense.

"Do you think the recent events could all be related!?"

Someone suddenly proposed a view.

And this view made everyone fall silent.

This possibility was extremely high.

If events beyond recognition occur with high frequency, there is a high probability they are related.

In the end, only the Blue Star Civilization did not send warships to Guanglan Planet.

They were busy discussing crisis response strategies.

...

In the Star Domain.

A pale golden light pierced through the boundless Universe.

Ralva felt the wonder of this moment.

Although he was a Legendary, he still could not survive in the Universe with his Physical Body.

And even though he was at the Legendary Peak, he was ultimately not at the Saint Rank.

Although the Alliance valued him, he had never had this kind of experience.

But now, Ji Yebai, a Saint Rank expert, was carrying him through the starry sky with his own Immortal Light.

This feeling and experience were magical.

Especially at this moment, he could clearly feel various cosmic rays constantly hitting his body—soft, fierce, spiral, piercing...

Various forces and fields kept coming, but all were blocked by the golden light on his body's surface.

Moreover, the Immortal Light on his body's surface gave Ralva great gains.

His spirit had been constantly sensing this Immortal Golden Light from the beginning.

Immortal Golden Light is an important symbol of the Saint Rank and a special energy born when Planetary Life advances to Starry Sky Life.

This Immortal Golden Light not only allows those at the Saint Rank to survive in the starry sky but, more importantly, ensures that their lifespan is incredibly long.

As long as the golden light is not extinguished, the Saint Rank will not fall.

To this day, the lifespan of a Saint Rank expert has never been less than five thousand years; instead, as their cultivation deepens, it continuously increases, even reaching ten thousand or twenty thousand years.

The Saint Rank is high and mighty.

Naturally, it was impossible to sense the Immortal Golden Light.

Therefore, there had never been a moment like this where Ralva could freely sense this Immortal Golden Light.

This was a great Opportunity!

A heavenly Opportunity!!!

Never had there been a moment that made Ralva so happy.

At this moment, his gratitude toward Ji Yebai was unprecedented.
