Chapter 569. Slaughter, Acting Without Restraint, the Warship Reappears

In an instant, streaks of light surged from them. Terrifying power swept outward. Those who acted were all either Grotto-Heaven Immortals or Creation Immortals, and every one of them was terrifyingly powerful.

Ordinary living beings could not withstand the auras they released.

In the blink of an eye, the powerless mortals below exploded. They turned into clouds of blood mist. Flesh and soul alike were annihilated in an instant, reduced to nothingness.

This planet was actually similar to Earth, so the number of living beings on it was roughly the same.

Once those Ji Clan members acted, those lives had no power to resist. They died one after another, so quickly they could not even react.

Indeed, to the Ji Clan experts present, these lives were practically no different from ants. In their eyes, this was more like a game. So what if there were hundreds of millions of lives?

It was merely a moment's amusement in their long lives. The thoughts of those they regarded as ants meant nothing to them.

In the distance, that Celestial Seat Immortal of the Ji Clan stood in place, his expression calm. The task he had received was to destroy all Teleportation Dao Platforms around the Milky Way Starfield.

But because of this universe's rules, even he, a Celestial Seat Immortal, could not destroy a planet that still held life. The living beings had to be cleared away first.

Of course, to him, this sort of thing was nothing. It merely wasted a little time. As time passed, he could sense the number of lives on this planet dwindling.

Before long, it would probably be time for him to act.

Sure enough, after some time, the four Ji Clan experts stopped.

Not a single life remained on the entire planet.

Despite the massacre, they felt no guilt whatsoever. Lingering satisfaction remained on their faces, as though they had thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

However, they had already done what needed to be done. The main task was more important.

After sensing all of this, that Ji Clan Celestial Seat Immortal said nothing more. He merely took a step forward, and the aura around him erupted in full.

"That should be enough," he said slowly, and layers of light enveloped him.

Without any hesitation, he faced this now-uninhabited planet and pushed out a palm.

Rumble!

In an instant, power surged from him and rushed toward the ground.

Immediately, mountains and rivers shook. The earth's crust split open, and countless volcanoes erupted. A destructive aura swept across the entire planet, as though the end of the world had arrived.

"As expected, destroying a planet without life is truly much easier."

As his words fell, the power surging from him became even vaster.

The Ji Clan experts beside him also retreated into space.

Completely destroying a planet required tremendous power, and even they could not fully endure that force, so they had to move far away.

Rumble!

Thunder crashed as terrifying power surged outward.

The land below cracked open, forming enormous fissures. Magma erupted, and the crust split open, revealing the core.

Seeing this, the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal poured in even stronger power once more.

In an instant, this planet seemed to suffer a tremendous blow and split apart in the blink of an eye.

That was right. The entire planet cracked open and exploded in space. The power also caused some surrounding stars to tremble.

After finishing all of this, the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal took a deep breath.

Unlike a naturally lifeless planet, this world could not be destroyed with a single blow. Even after every living being had been erased, shattering it still demanded tremendous effort.

"Let's go. This Dao Platform has already been destroyed. Head to the next region," he instructed. He knew that although there were not many Dao Platforms around the Milky Way Starfield, there were still several.

What he had to do was destroy all of them. Now, he had already completed most of the task, so he needed to hurry. According to the plan, some things should also begin.

After saying these words, the Ji Clan experts did not stay. With a single step, they vanished from this region.

That planet had naturally become a dead star.

Time passed bit by bit. The magma scattered through the cold universe gradually cooled.

After an unknown amount of time, a void passage appeared, and two figures walked out from within it.

They were Lu Yuan and Jiang Ningxian. After seeing the scene before them, both of them were shaken again and looked at one another.

"Looks like it was destroyed not long ago," Jiang Ningxian said.

She could sense that the lingering force in this region was stronger than before.

Lu Yuan stood beside her, his eyes unchanged. He stared at the destroyed planet before him, knowing that it had originally been a life-bearing planet, yet it had still been destroyed.

Normally, under such circumstances, even a Supreme Immortal could not hope to do it.

Unless the one who acted had first cleared away all those lives.

At that thought, anger rose on Lu Yuan's face. He had roughly understood what the two forces wanted to do.

Leaving aside other places, the Teleportation Dao Platforms around the Milky Way Starfield had essentially all been destroyed.

The two forces clearly seemed to want to isolate the Milky Way Starfield, or even Earth itself.

Lu Yuan still did not know what they wanted to do. But one thing was certain. It was absolutely nothing good.

"What do we do next?" Jiang Ningxian turned her head and asked.

Another Teleportation Dao Platform had been destroyed. Their plan to use the Dao Platforms to quickly reach Earth could no longer work.

"Continue searching for the next one. If we move quickly, perhaps we can catch them. They are destroying Teleportation Dao Platforms one after another, even slaughtering lives to do it."

As Lu Yuan spoke, his eyes turned extremely serious. His gaze turned toward the depths of the universe.

He did not delay. After using Fuxi's Bagua Diagram to confirm the location of the next Teleportation Dao Platform, the two instantly left the area before them.

Meanwhile, outside Earth, a massive warship appeared in space.

It was the Eternal Warship. It had appeared here once before, only to leave for reasons no one understood. Now it had returned.

No one knew what was happening. Confusion filled the eyes of Earth's inhabitants when they saw it, while the Celestial Court's core members gathered atop Mount Tai with deeply furrowed brows.
