“This feels like… A source of energy!”
The Black Blood Tower Master gasped.
The source energy was something that all Heavenly Daoist Celestials dreamed of cultivating.
It was because the source energy was related to Immortals.
Cultivating source energy was one of the prerequisites to becoming an Immortal. The Pseudo Immortals were the only ones in the Violet Gold Galaxy that could do this.
As for the others below them, even a Heavenly Daoist Celestial could not do it.
“Our Master has cultivated a source energy! I can’t believe he has accomplished this while not even being a Heavenly Daoist Celestial. Master is just too powerful! I’m sure he’s the only one among the Immortal Progenies in the Violet Gold Galaxy who can do this!”
The Flame Demon Bandit King said admirably.
Meanwhile in space.
Chu Kuangren slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white bundle of mist in his hand. A look of surprise appeared on him.
“Interesting. Devouring the Category Nine Planet this time did not only strengthen my Stellar Undying Body to a peak stage, but it also allowed me to cultivate a Raw Physical Source energy too. With this, I now possess six different types of source energy.”
Chu Kuangren grinned.
The fact that he possessed six different types of source energy was an incredibly terrifying thing.
Ordinary cultivators would already find it extremely difficult to cultivate even one type of source energy, let alone six. Besides, all the source energies that Chu Kuangren cultivated were different too.
“With the peak-stage Stellar Undying Body and this Raw Physical Source energy, the raw physical strength I have is now enough to easily kill a Heavenly Daoist Celestial!”
“I can even fight a peak-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial with this.”
However, that was only taking into account his raw physical strength. If his other techniques were included, Chu Kuangren would have been even more terrifyingly powerful.
“If the peak-stage Stellar Undying Body is this terrifying, I bet the perfected-stage Stellar Undying Body must be something equivalent to reaching the Immortal Realm!”
“The highest stage of the Stellar Undying Body… Raw Physical Immortality!”
Achieving Raw Physical Immortality was several times harder compared to becoming an Immortal the normal way. However, if one had succeeded in doing this, they would surely become more powerful than ordinary Immortals.
“If I want to achieve Raw Physical Immortality, I wonder how many more Category Nine Planets I will have to devour… Hmm… What if I devour a star instead…?”
Chu Kuangren looked towards the sun that was radiating brilliantly with endless heat and light. He could not help but smack his lips.
“I suppose devouring a star might speed up this process. However, it can’t be this one. There are so many civilizations in the Violet Gold Galaxy depending upon it for survival after all, including the Firmament Star[1] too.”
“Well, I’ll find another one elsewhere then.”
After retracting his Raw Physical Source energy and raw physical strength aura, Chu Kuangren returned to his otherworldly demeanor.
“How are the preparations?”
He looked at the Black Blood Tower Master and others nearby and asked.
“The preparations are complete, Master. The one million and eight hundred thousand warships and one hundred and thirteen million bandits of the Chaotic Starfield are ready. We’re now awaiting your orders to head to Planet Zi,” said the Heavenly Gale Bandit King.
“The seven hundred and sixty thousand assassins of the Black Blood Tower are ready to receive orders too, Master.”
The Black Blood Tower Master said.
Although the seven hundred and sixty thousand assassins were not as much compared to the one hundred million bandits, they were all masters of killing and assassination, with most of them being above the level of an Emperor.
“Master, although we’ve amassed quite a huge force, Planet Zi is no ordinary civilization either. Besides, if we attack with such a huge force, we’ll surely be discovered by Planet Zi’s forces. By then, I’m afraid we would be held back and attacked by the Planet Zi’s and their subordinate civilization’s forces before we could get close to Planet Zi itself,” the Berserk Sand Bandit King said.
There was a reason why Planet Zi stood at the pinnacle of power in the Violet Gold Galaxy for so many years. Besides having many subordinate civilizations at their command, they also had forces placed strategically around the planet, with fortifications and strongholds all over the place.
Those were enough to make anyone wishing to attack Planet Zi reconsider.
“I’m well aware of this. Don’t worry. I have my ways.”
Chu Kuangren replied.
The four of them looked at each other, confused about what Chu Kuangren’s idea was. However, they noticed that he had no intention to elaborate.
“Alright, let’s go,” said Chu Kuangren.
“Very well.”
On that very day, countless warships filled with bandits emerged from the Chaotic Starfield, heading towards Planet Zi.
There was no way such a huge commotion would not go unnoticed by the forces throughout the galaxy.
Hence, the whole Violet Gold Galaxy was shocked by it.
“By the heavens, what’s happening over at the Chaotic Starfield?”
“Why are so many bandits leaving the Chaotic Starfield en masse? What are they planning to do? Are they going to start a great interstellar war?”
“Quick, quick! Send our men to investigate!”
All of the forces in the galaxy did not dare to overlook such a tremendous force.
Just a single Bandit King alone was enough to cause a ruckus in the galaxy, let alone the entire group of bandits in the Chaotic Starfield.
The forces in the galaxy soon realized that there was a reason the bandits of the Chaotic Starfield had mobilized. They seemed to be heading in a certain direction.
What could that mean?
It would prove that someone was commanding those bandits!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Who could it be?
Who was it that possessed such capability? Who was it that managed to unite the whole Chaotic Starfield? What were their motives for doing this?
“Continue your investigation. Being able to unite the Chaotic Starfield like that, the person leading them must be no ordinary cultivator. Their numbers and forces are just too great.”
“With the three Bandit Kings and the countless bandits of the Chaotic Starfield united, their forces could rival even a top-notched civilization!”
“Hold on a minute… That direction…”
Some forces soon noticed it.
The bandits were all heading towards… Planet Zi!
“This is madness, madness I say! Those bandits must be out of their minds! Are they going to war against Planet Zi?!”
“F*ck. This is just too much.”
“Going to war against Planet Zi? Are they even strong enough to do that?”
Every civilization and orthodoxy were greatly shocked by the movement outside the Chaotic Starfield. Everyone could not stand and watch any longer, immediately ordering their men to monitor the situation as it unfolded.
On the other hand, Planet Zi.
The Holy Violet Temple Lord’s face immediately turned grim upon receiving the news. A menacing killing intent soon emanated from him uncontrollably.
“Great, this is f*cking wonderful. It seems that Planet Zi’s reputation has really gone into the mud. Even a bunch of bandits are brave enough to find trouble with us now.”
“Do they think Planet Zi has been weakened and could not do a single thing against them because we suffered heavy casualties previously? Order all the subordinate civilizations to attack. So, those bandits are trying to fight Planet Zi? Hmph. I’ll bring them to their graves in the vastness of space before they could even set their sights on Planet Zi!” said the Holy Violet Temple Lord with a terrifying expression.
The Planet Zi Sky Guardian, who was standing next to him, frowned. “Someone must be behind this sudden movement from the Chaotic Starfield. Who could it be? We must investigate this matter seriously.”
“I’ve sent my men to find out about this. I believe we’ll be receiving some news soon,” said the Holy Violet Temple Lord.
At that time, several lightyears away from Planet Zi, millions of warships had arrived at Planet Zi’s first line of defense.
It was a gigantic stronghold built in space with a top-tier Great Daoist Celestial stationed inside.
A mere Great Daoist Celestial was nothing in the face of the Bandit Kings. However, the trickier part was the great defensive formation contained within this stronghold. When activated, even a Heavenly Daoist Celestial could not break through it.
If the great bandit army was stopped here, the troops from Planet Zi’s subordinate civilizations would be dispatched. When those troops arrived, a great battle would happen with the bandit army.
If things were not handled correctly, the mighty bandit army would have been wiped out before they could even see Planet Zi.
If something like that happened, the Chaotic Starfield would instantly become a joke throughout the whole Violet Gold Galaxy.
“What are you going to do next, dear bandits of the Chaotic Starfield?”
Everyone was watching attentively, looking forward to seeing how things would transpire.
[1] Based on this, we can conclude that in the novel’s universe, each galaxy only has one star, unlike our universe, which has millions of stars in a single galaxy. The Firmament Star is also a planet that was mistakenly named as a “Star” in the earlier chapters..
