Chapter 589: Found
After a short drive, the six people completely crossed the Earth-Moon tidal lock boundary and stepped into the far side of the moon, which had never been seen by Earth and had been shrouded in darkness for billions of years.
The moment you step onto the other side, the surrounding environment changes drastically.
Without a blue planet hanging high in the sky, without the nourishment of faint earth atmosphere, the entire sky is left with only the pitch-black, lifeless universe and the cold, blinding starlight.
As far as the eye can see, there are endless rugged highlands and densely packed giant craters. The surface is riddled with holes and looks like a wasteland planet completely destroyed by war.
The far side of the moon is almost entirely composed of hard, ancient anorthosite highlands, with a thick and solid crust that isolates it from all external exploration, making it a natural and hidden place.
Even more bizarrely, a faint, sinister aura permeated this world, not native to Earth, carrying a strong sense of extraterrestrial plunder, cold, violent, and insidious, seeping into every inch of the lunar rock.
"Found it."
Old Mo's eyes narrowed, and his vast divine sense precisely locked onto the depths of a giant crater on the far side of the moon, near the South Pole.
It is a super ancient crater stretching for hundreds of miles, one of the oldest existing impact craters in the solar system. The bottom of the crater is deep and dark, never seeing the light of day. The layers of rock walls perfectly conceal the astonishing secrets below.
Endless, cold, and malevolent energy flowed continuously from the bottom of the pit, causing the void to tremble slightly. Fragments of extraterrestrial runes appeared and disappeared, and a teleportation wave that traversed the star sea was firmly rooted here, penetrating the void barrier and connecting to distant, unknown star fields.
"A plan that has been in the works for a thousand years, it's been kept very well hidden."
Old Mo took a light step and instantly appeared at the bottom of the giant circular crater. His five wives followed closely behind, and the six of them stood in mid-air, looking down at the breathtaking scene below.
At the center of the pit, a massive interstellar teleportation array covering hundreds of miles was prominently displayed.
The entire formation is not an Earth-based cultivation formation system, but is cast from countless unknown black dark metals. Its patterns are strange and mysterious, crisscrossing and covered with dense purple extraterrestrial runes, flowing with a cold and eerie luster.
At the center of the formation, a pitch-black void rift slowly opened and closed, constantly breathing in and out chaotic energy from the distant starry sea, causing the void to tremble incessantly.
With each pulse, extraterrestrial energy surges into the lunar surface through the cracks, nourishing the foundation of the formation.
This is the trump card that the Scorpion Star civilization has been laying out for Earth for thousands of years: an interstellar teleportation channel connecting the Earth and the Moon and spanning star regions.
On the rune platform at the very center of the teleportation array, a wisp of almost transparent, broken and weak remnant soul was stubbornly clinging to the platform.
It was only by burning his own body and sacrificing everything that Yagi no Okun was able to escape to this place.
At this moment, he had completely lost the majestic demeanor of a human leader.
The physical body was completely annihilated, and the soul was on the verge of collapse. Only a wisp of remnant soul clung to the black alien token, barely clinging to life. The soul was dim and ethereal, and could disappear completely into the world at any moment.
However, the last vestige of his consciousness remained extremely insidious and insane.
The remnant soul clung tightly to the token, using its last ounce of divine power to continuously send coordinate signals and battle intelligence to the distant Scorpion Starfield. Every word and phrase was a testament to its covetousness and desire for revenge against Blue Star.
"My Lord! Earth's barrier is weak, and its high-end combat power is scarce! Only a few Nascent Soul juniors are not worth mentioning!"
"The millennium's worth of erosion by destiny is complete. Earth is utterly powerless to resist. We implore the Sovereign to dispatch a fleet immediately!"
"Harvest the planet's essence, colonize Earth, and slaughter all living beings! I am willing to be Scorpion Star's eternal servant!"
The hoarse and obscure extraterrestrial telepathic waves continuously pierced through the void, transmitting towards the depths of the starry sea.
Yagi no Taikun was filled with fanaticism, his eyes blazing with the madness of revenge.
In his view, as long as the Scorpion Star Overlord receives the intelligence and sends an interstellar army to descend, the mere low-level blue planet can be destroyed with a flick of the finger.
Chen Yao and her brother destroyed his foundation and disrupted his millennia-long plan. One day he will witness the entire Blue Star being buried with him, and those six juniors being torn to pieces and their souls destroyed by the extraterrestrial powerhouse!
Just as his soul was nearly exhausted and he was about to complete the final intelligence transmission, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly boomed from the bottom of the silent pit.
"Yaqi Dakun."
The icy voice, like ice from the heavens, instantly suppressed the entire bottom of the crater. The trembling void suddenly froze, the flowing extraterrestrial runes dimmed instantly, and the transmitted star field signals were forcibly cut off.
An endless pressure suddenly descended, not the spiritual pressure of a planetary cultivator, but the unique, primal deterrence of a Nascent Soul cultivator who controls the rules of heaven and earth, firmly locking down the wisp of broken soul of Orochi Dakun, preventing him from even trembling his soul.
His remnant soul, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly stiffened, and his ethereal soul trembled violently. Extreme fear instantly overwhelmed all his madness and hope.
He struggled to muster his remaining divine consciousness, looked up at the void, and when he saw the six figures standing in mid-air, his remaining divine soul instantly exploded in excruciating pain.
It's them!
Those six juniors who destroyed the Shinto sect and shattered his thousand-year-old foundation actually attracted such a terrifying top-level powerhouse.
Six figures floated silently in the void, their aura vast and boundless. Even though they were calm and did not release any killing intent, they possessed an unparalleled aura that looked down upon all the heavens and suppressed the starry sea.
Especially Old Mo in the middle, whose eyes were indifferent and calm, yet seemed to see through all his thoughts, all his secrets, and all his millennia-old schemes.
"No...impossible!"
The shattered remnant soul of Orochi trembled violently, emitting a hoarse, broken roar filled with disbelief and madness: "Blue Star is merely a low-level colony! Guarded by a powerful being without divine transformation! How could you exist here?!"
He had been lying low on Earth for a thousand years, relying on the database of the Scorpion Star civilization to explore Blue Star countless times. He was certain that the planet's spiritual energy was depleted, its Great Dao was incomplete, and the highest cultivation level was limited to the Nascent Soul stage. There were absolutely no Nascent Soul cultivators who could transcend the planet's limitations.
This is the fundamental reason why the Scorpion civilization dared to plan for a thousand years and was determined to colonize.
But the six people in front of them were all peak Nascent Soul cultivators who had transcended the shackles of the starry sea, whose physical bodies roamed the vacuum, and whose divine senses spanned star fields.
With such top-tier combat power, let alone the mere third-rate Scorpion Star civilization, even the fourth-level civilizations in the surrounding star fields might not be able to contend with it.
All the intelligence gathered over the past millennium has been wrong.
A thousand-year plan, but it started from the wrong foundation.
"A frog at the bottom of a well dares to measure the world?"
Old Mo's gaze was slightly cold as he calmly looked down at the lingering, dying soul. His tone was completely unmoved: "Scorpion Star, a mere third-rate plundering civilization, surviving by colonizing low-level planets, dares to cross boundaries and scheme against my homeland and plot against my family?"
In a single sentence, the root of the problem was revealed. The remaining divine consciousness of Orochi was utterly bewildered.
He finally realized that he had been a clown from beginning to end.
All the so-called millennia of dormancy, unparalleled plans, and interstellar trump cards appear laughably naive and pathetically insignificant in the face of this true galactic master.
The Nascent Soul junior who destroyed the Shinto sect and forced him to sacrifice himself and escape was not the strongest force on Earth, but merely the children and descendants of this powerful being.
He had provoked an unparalleled giant who was capable of sweeping across the surrounding star systems.
He desperately wanted to send this message to his master. Unfortunately, with these powerful figures around, he could no longer do so.
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled at all..."
