Chapter 368 - 135: Stellar Battlefield

The Starry Sky Ancient City was just one of them.

The three cities were built in a triangular formation, allowing the other two strongholds to provide rapid support if any one of them was attacked.

And as strongholds on the Stellar Battlefield, each city was guarded by a True God Level existence.

Under normal circumstances, the strongholds wouldn’t be attacked by the Alien Races.

Of course, there were no absolutes.

In a place like the Stellar Battlefield, anything was possible.

Even a True God couldn’t guarantee the safety of a stronghold.

Therefore, each of the Human Race’s three major strongholds was basically guarded by several True Gods.

Their combined strength was immense.

Among all the myriad realms, the power of the Human Race was not to be underestimated.

Ordinary Alien Races wouldn’t dare to assault a stronghold. After all, the cost was not just high—it was colossal.

It could even lead to mutual destruction.

The Human Race’s strongholds on the Stellar Battlefield weren’t established just recently.

They had been established for hundreds of years, and their various defensive and detection measures were all pushed to the maximum.

And the Starry Sky Ancient City was the one with the longest history among the three Human Race strongholds.

It was also a city built by a Great Emperor of the Human Race.

It had withstood the trials of hundreds of years without falling!

Of course, for this Starry Sky Ancient City to stand tall to this day, it had to endure a baptism of blood and fire.

The three strongholds were a testament to the Human Race’s history of struggle!

As the spaceship entered the airspace above the Starry Sky Ancient City, it began to slow down.

Finally, the spaceship landed in an open field on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Ancient City.

Once the ship was stable, the cabin door slowly opened.

The man in the suit rose and looked at the crowd. "We’ve arrived. Everyone, please disembark in an orderly fashion."

Everyone nodded, stood up, and headed for the hatch.

The moment he stepped off the spaceship, Chen Yu felt something different.

Despite being on the Endless Continent, directly exposed to the starry sky, the radiation levels here were surprisingly similar to those on Ancestor Star.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense.

Looking up, he could see endless nebulae swirling and billions of stars scattering their light across the cosmos.

Although he knew the Stellar Battlefield was governed by special rules, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

’The universe is vast and full of wonders.’

’A place that can withstand the clashes of True Gods, and is so vast and boundless... For a single race to control it, they would need the power to suppress every other race in the Celestial River Star System.’

’They would have to become the undisputed hegemon of the Celestial River Star System.’

’But that’s practically impossible.’

’True Gods may dominate the cosmos, but they aren’t invincible.’

’You have a True God Venerable? So do I!’

’Controlling a place like the Stellar Battlefield isn’t something a single race can accomplish.’

’The difficulty is simply beyond imagination!’

"So this is the Stellar Battlefield! It doesn’t feel much different from Ancestor Star," Zhuge Qingtian remarked with a sigh as he stepped off the spaceship.

"This place is great. Yes, it should be ours, the Human Race’s, to occupy. We should kill and drive out all the Alien Races," Zhuge Qingtian added, smacking his lips.

Chen Yu and Dongfang Yao were both left speechless.

Watching Zhuge Qingtian, they felt their temples twitch.

’This guy... he just got here and he already has such huge "ambitions"!’

’Still, that ambition isn’t a bad thing. A special place like this... only the Human Race can truly grasp its potential and develop it for the better.’

"Stop fantasizing and let’s go," the man with sunglasses and long hair said at that moment.

The group snapped back to reality. Gazing into the distance, they saw the sheer scale of the Starry Sky Ancient City. From the spaceship, they could see it all, but now, standing before it, they truly understood its immensity.

It stretched out of sight.

A veritable megacity.

Many people lived here as well.

At the same time, it was a military garrison for the Human Race.

To live here was to be perpetually ready for battle.

You were either in the midst of battle, or on your way to one.

On the Stellar Battlefield, there was no such thing as peace.

The attacks from Alien Races were relentless.

The Human Race did have some allies among the Alien Races, like the Angel Race, for example.

But they were outnumbered by enemies.

The Alien Races in the Celestial River Star System were innumerable.

Races like the Demon Lizards and the Celestial Eyes, in particular, were locked in constant conflict with the Human Race.

The group disembarked from the spaceship.

In the distance, a large black bus came into view.

Once everyone was off the ship, the black bus drove up and stopped before them.

The man in the suit stepped forward. From the bus, several tall figures emerged.

Leading them was an elderly man in a Tang suit, a Ninth Level Peak cultivator.

His aura was deep and powerful.

He seemed to be on the verge of reaching the True God realm, and he radiated an intense, oppressive pressure.

"Sir, I’m pleased to report I’ve fulfilled my duty. I’ve brought them all here safely," the man in the suit said, stepping up to the elderly man in the Tang suit.

The man in the Tang suit glanced over the group. His eyes lingered on Chen Yu for a moment before he turned back to the man in the suit. "Good work."

The man in the suit smiled. "Not at all, sir. It’s my duty to serve the alliance."

"Did you run into any trouble?" the man in the Tang suit asked.

The man in the suit replied, "We encountered an adult Starry Sky Beast en route."

"A Starry Sky Beast... an adult one!"

The man in the Tang suit’s expression changed.

The man in the suit gave a slight smile. "Don’t worry, sir. The Starry Sky Beast was just passing through. It didn’t attack us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made it here."

Hearing this, the man in the Tang suit’s expression finally softened.

"It seems your luck was good," the man in the Tang suit said. "Come on, let’s get on the bus. It’s been a month, you all must be exhausted. We’ll get you to your quarters so you can get some rest." The man in the suit nodded.

With that, the group boarded the black bus and headed toward the Starry Sky Ancient City.

—

Upon entering the urban area, they found it wasn’t much different from the cities on Ancestor Star.

Skyscrapers dotted the landscape.

On the bus, everyone stared out the windows with curiosity.

They had only ever seen the horrors of the Stellar Battlefield on the news.

It was supposed to be an incredibly brutal place.

But now that they were here, it didn’t seem quite like what they had imagined.

"Hm?"

"What is that?"

"A meteor!!!"

Chen Yu was busy observing the city’s architecture when he suddenly looked up. A massive black shadow had appeared in the sky above the Ancient City.

Upon closer inspection, it was a meteor, dozens of kilometers in diameter.

’Holy shit, am I this unlucky? I just got here and I’m about to be smashed by a meteor?!!’

Chen Yu’s face darkened. By now, everyone else had also seen the meteor descending from the sky.

A meteor dozens of kilometers in diameter... If it landed on the Starry Sky Ancient City, the city would likely be annihilated in an instant.
