"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
The man died, but his body remained intact. He was dressed in purple imperial robes and wore a purple imperial crown.
"Hmm?" He suddenly spoke up while holding a piece of jade that was recovering its radiance.
"What's wrong?" Li Qianxia asked.
“Psychic power…it sounds like there’s a sound…” Bi muttered to herself, reaching out and moving her hand in the air as if there were threads in the sky.
She fiddled with it, closed it, and then pinched it.
Where is my hometown? And where does the road ahead lead?
The sudden sound startled Li Qianxia, who thought it was a ghost!
Li Changzhou and the others were also taken aback.
"Don't be alarmed, it's just a message left behind after death. This person was also a master of telekinesis!"
“The messages left by the dead are even scarier!” Li Qianxia moved closer to her brother.
“There are still visuals!” Bi pinched again.
The fleshly body on the throne suddenly opened its eyes.
Everyone held their breath.
"Is this the scene you described?" Yaochi asked, feeling a chill run down her spine as well.
“Should be…” Bi wasn’t sure either, hiding behind Li Changzhou.
The king, wearing a purple crown, stared at the crowd with his eyes wide open, creating a bizarre and terrifying scene.
“She’s not looking at us,” Yang Qinglan said.
This was a queen, over thirty meters tall. Everyone was suspended in the air, facing her face. Her features were exquisite, and her eyes were purple.
The queen's gaze was directed in their direction, but she wasn't actually looking at them; instead, she was gazing into the distance.
Is my hometown alright? What lies ahead? The Queen whispered.
How long will this escape last?
She was undoubtedly a queen of the highest ranks, yet her tone was filled with melancholy, and what she said was even more unbelievable.
This terrifying ancient ship is on the run?!
Even the weakest Heavenly Rank is terrifyingly powerful, capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon, controlling the will of Heaven, and crushing a star with a single hand—Li Changzhou seemingly shattered the millstone star with a single finger, but in reality, he used the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals.
This ship has at least four celestial beings, yet they were forced to leave their homeland and flee to the vacuum of space.
ah!
Suddenly, from an unknown place, came a frenzied roar and screams.
black......
The queen was startled by the voice and seemed to turn her head to look somewhere. The next moment, the light in her purple eyes dimmed.
She died.
An absolutely powerful female expert at the Heavenly Rank was killed by an unknown being before she could even turn back in her final moments.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
"Impossible." Guanyin's lips trembled. "This cultivator's aura is not as strong as Buddha's, but it's comparable to Dipankara Buddha. He actually... just like that... even Buddha couldn't do it!"
"Is he a saint?" This was the only possibility that Li Changzhou could think of.
“'Black'?” Yang Qinglan pondered the word.
This was the voice of another powerful figure on the ancient ship before his death.
But it's difficult to judge anything from just one word.
Does 'black' refer to an unknown entity, the name of a technique, or a cry to one's hometown or loved one before death?
“This crown,” Yaochi looked at the enormous crown on the Queen’s head, “could it be the ‘Heavenly Will Flame Crown’?”
"It's very likely that there are terrifying purple flames all around," Li Qianxia guessed.
Bi was a little excited: "The power this person uses is very similar to telekinesis. I feel that this destiny is very suitable for me. What do you guys think?"
"That's wishful thinking," Yaochi chuckled.
Then, her expression turned serious: "Get ready, I'm going to take the crown."
With a flick of her red sleeve, a bluebird with a wingspan of ten feet flew out and soared straight toward the king.
Everyone was on edge.
A vortex unfolded behind Li Changzhou, preparing to attack or escape.
The bluebird approached the queen without encountering any resistance, and its beak successfully caught the crown.
Everyone was overjoyed; obtaining a powerful divine will so easily was definitely something to be happy about.
The bluebird suddenly folded its wings, attempting to take off.
It remained completely still.
Yaochi's expression turned slightly serious; she decided to give it a try.
All her skills and abilities merged into one at this moment, creating an unbelievably powerful force that she injected into the Bluebird's body.
The bluebird let out a loud cry, its power raging... but the crown remained unmoved.
Yaochi's full strength couldn't even budge the crown in the slightest!
"How is this possible?!" Everyone was taken aback.
Leaving aside Yaochi's abilities, her skills alone include the S-rank "Favored Concubine" and the S-rank "Red-Clad Beauty," whose power is undoubtedly formidable if their effects can be tested.
Even Li Changzhou wouldn't dare say he could withstand this attack head-on.
But the crown didn't move at all.
"This is still a corpse. How powerful would she be if she were alive!" Li Qianxia exclaimed softly.
Then everyone thought that such a powerful queen was still forced to leave her homeland, and in the end, she was wiped out before she could even turn back.
Yang Qinglan raised her head, seemingly lost in thought.
"What did you sense?" Li Changzhou asked.
Yang Qinglan's talent for perceiving nature is at its peak here, and she is in the state of "Goddess of Gusha," making her divine sense incredibly sharp.
Yang Qinglan gazed at the purple lava lake above her head.
"Perhaps, this is the will of Heaven: the Crown of Flames."
Li Qianxia was taken aback: "...A volcano is a crown?"
