Chapter 371: Science Fantasy Cultivation is Much More Interesting
After watching for several moments, Tian Yongheng decisively changed the image.
The sight of Wang Chen repeatedly throwing himself into trouble gave him second hand embarrassment.
He indeed had great potential, but... he didn’t want to observe that fellow for now.
Soon afterward, the surface of the Celestial Orb rippled slightly.
The previous scene disappeared completely.
A new world gradually emerged.
The atmosphere instantly became far heavier, much darker in tone, as if shifting from a happy go lucky high fantasy novel to a dark science fantasy.
The vast darkness of outer space stretched endlessly in every direction as countless stars flickered throughout the cosmos.
At this moment, a gigantic metallic starship floated quietly near the edge of a star system.
Its length spanned tens of thousands of meters, dark silver armor covering its exterior while countless mysterious runes and technological formations continuously emitted faint blue radiance.
The pressure radiating from the vessel alone was enough to make ordinary cultivators tremble.
Behind it stretched an entire fleet, thousands upon thousands of warships filling the surrounding void.
Some resembled enormous steel fortresses, and others appeared more like flying palaces.
Countless cannons, energy arrays, and cultivation formations shimmered faintly throughout the fleet.
The target of this overwhelming military force was a single blue planet.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Then, a streak of light suddenly erupted from the planet below.
*Boom!*
The vacuum of space seemed to tremble, a powerful aura instantly surging throughout the nearby thousands of miles accompanied by a young man who stepped into outer space.
He had short black hair, cold eyes filled with killing intent, and a suit of advanced nanotech armor continuously shifted across his body like flowing liquid metal.
The moment he appeared, the surrounding Spirit Qi began fluctuating violently.
Tian Yongheng immediately recognized him.
It was none other than Pei Shuanzhen.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
The former Immortal Ascension Realm powerhouse he casually killed centuries ago had truly grown rapidly after reincarnating.
The last time Tian Yongheng observed him, Pei Shuanzhen had merely been a late stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, according to the cultivation system of this universe, a Tier-6 combatant, about to breakthrough to Tier-7.
But now...
Tian Yongheng carefully observed his aura.
Middle stage Acquired Realm, equivalent to approximately Tier-11.
In such a short time, he had crossed two major realms, or if going by that universe’s terminology, several major realms.
Such speed was already terrifying by ordinary standards; one had to know that the strongest beings since Spirit Qi recovery on this fellow’s home planet were only Tier-9 lifeforms, yet he had already surpassed them.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng’s Divine Sense quietly analyzed the surrounding star system.
Immediately, countless streams of information appeared within his mind as he deduced.
The old man standing at the front of the fleet wore high tech battle armor engraved with countless cultivation inscriptions.
His aura was significantly stronger than Pei Shuanzhen’s on the surface, around the later stages of Acquired Realm, a Tier-12 powerhouse, the strongest existence currently present.
Behind him stood dozens of Tier-11 experts, and further behind were thousands of lower ranked combatants.
The entire fleet represented the military might of a powerful interstellar civilization, a Stellar Empire ruling over numerous star systems, among the top tier forces in the starfield where they were in right now.
Even Tier-13 and Tier-14 experts existed within its territory, guarding it for thousands of years.
At this moment, the old man slowly stepped forward.
His voice spread directly through the vacuum of space, not through sound, but a special voice transmission audible to the entire planet.
"Planet Azure-7 has already been granted one final opportunity. Submit to the Stellar Empire, offer your world’s sovereignty, and accept governance, or...
Be conquered."
His tone remained calm, as if discussing something completely ordinary.
Pei Shuanzhen merely looked at him indifferently.
The pressure radiating from his body gradually intensified, causing the surrounding space to faintly distort.
Countless civilians on the blue planet looked up at the gigantic fleet visible even from there nervously as many high level powerhouse clenched their fists.
Behind him, countless satellites, orbital fortresses, and planetary defenses activated simultaneously.
Then he finally asked, "You want my home?"
His voice was calm, yet everyone could sense the killing intent hidden beneath it.
"Then come take it."
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Inside the cave abode, Tian Yongheng’s eyes brightened slightly.
Very interesting.
Compared to Wang Chen’s traditional cultivation world adventures, this was far more novel.
At least Pei Shuanzhen’s battles involved interstellar fleets, not tripping over rocks while carrying beautiful women.
Cultivators commanding fleets, Immortals piloting starships, entire civilizations built around both technology and cultivation...
Even after hundreds of years, he still found such worlds fascinating.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng became slightly curious.
Exactly how strong were Acquired Realm cultivators within ordinary universes?
The Lower Realm heavily suppressed destructive power through its worldly laws and heavenly rules.
An Acquired Realm cultivator here could only affect hundreds of miles.
But there, the suppression was far weaker, causing the destructive power of cultivators to increase drastically to the point Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators could destroy universes when they couldn’t even destroy any random State in any Great Mortal World of the Lower Realm.
Although he knew that, he didn’t know the power of low level cultivators.
Yao Qiuyue once claimed that peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in such universes could casually flatten mountains or devastate continents in their battles.
Back then, Tian Yongheng wasn’t entirely convinced.
Now, however, he finally had an opportunity to witness it personally.
At this moment, the old man from the Stellar Empire suddenly sighed.
"You possess extraordinary talent. It is just unfortunate..."
Then he raised a single finger.
Immediately, the fleet behind him began moving as countless warships activated simultaneously.
*Boom!*
Millions of formation runes illuminated the dark space, causing the surrounding tens of thousands of miles to instantly transform.
Tian Yongheng’s eyebrows raised slightly.
It was a massive formation, a stellar formation. The entire fleet itself functioned as a gigantic cultivation array.
Countless streams of stellar power and Spiritual Energy converged together, the pressure instantly rising by several levels.
However, Pei Shuanzhen merely stood there, his expression remaining completely unchanged from beginning to end.
Then, he took a single step forward.
*Boom!*
Space shattered, not metaphorically, but literally.
Gigantic cracks spread throughout the vacuum as the entire fleet shook violently.
Tian Yongheng’s eyes brightened slightly.
The power displayed was far greater than Acquired Realm cultivators of the Lower Realm.
As expected, without the suppression of complete heavenly rules and worldly laws, the destructive capabilities of cultivators increased dramatically.
At this moment, Pei Shuanzhen slowly raised his hand.
A crimson spear appeared within his grasp, and without hesitation, he thrust forward.
*BOOM!*
The starry sky exploded!
A spear light stretching nearly ten thousand miles instantly tore through space.
Dozens of warships directly vaporized, entire sections of the fleet disappearing as countless cultivators died before they could even react.
Tian Yongheng immediately sat up straighter.
The smile on his face widened slightly.
Now this is much more entertaining than watching Wang Chen trip over rocks.
Far within a distant universe, the interstellar battlefield descended into complete chaos.
