The pure white star shuttle docked smoothly at private berth BB37. The moment the cabin door slid open, a gust of wind carrying a myriad of strange scents blew against their faces.
Unlike the fresh air of the Blue Source Planet, the atmosphere of the Alpha Space Station was filled with the clamor and chaos unique to an interstellar transit hub.
"Wow..." Lin Xi followed behind Ye Chuan out of the cabin, her eyes instantly overwhelmed by the sights.
The spacious port corridor was bustling with people. Besides humans like her, there were countless bizarrely shaped alien races. There were lizardmen covered in blue scales with three eyes, using their tails to curl around and transport goods.
There were elves less than half a meter tall with transparent wings on their backs, flying back and forth between stalls peddling glowing ores.
There were also a mechanical race entirely composed of liquid metal, their bodies casually shifting shapes as they haggled with nearby merchants.
"Is that... is that a shapeshifter?" Lin Xi pointed at an alien in the distance who was turning into the shape of a tiger, exclaiming in a low voice.
"It looks exactly like the ones I saw on Star Realm Notes!"
"Yes, they are residents of the Shapeshifter Star Realm," Kalen followed behind expressionlessly.
"They can transform into any biological form they have seen, making them natural-born spies and assassins. Lord Demon King, I need to go to the Public Waterway Management Office to apply for warp permission. It will take about an hour."
"Go ahead," Ye Chuan waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding stalls with interest.
The items sold here were incredibly diverse, ranging from interstellar specialty fruits to toy guns that could shoot lasers, and from ancient cultivation jade slips to the latest mecha parts. They had everything.
So chaotic, I love it.
I should buy a little something for my own Xixi, Shuangshuang, Keke, Ningning, Lili, Yueyue, Guagua, and Lili...
"Perfect timing, let's just browse around."
The two of them followed the crowd into a nearby market.
"Mr. Ye, look!"
"Look at this!"
As Lin Xi continued to walk forward, she wanted to buy a bit of every novel thing she saw.
Before long, her spatial backpack was stuffed to the brim with various local specialties.
"Mr. Ye, this is for you." Lin Xi picked up a black stone strung on a red string and handed it to Ye Chuan.
"The stall owner said this is an amulet made from a fragment of a super barrier stone, and it can keep you safe."
Ye Chuan took the amulet, realized it was merely a fragment of a spirit stone, and casually stuffed it into his pocket.
Just then, Ye Chuan seemed to notice something, his gaze turning playful.
Without any hesitation, he reached out, grabbed Lin Xi's arm, and pulled her behind him.
"Ah?" Lin Xi froze for a moment, looking at Ye Chuan in confusion.
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
Before she could finish her sentence, an invisible spatial blade silently swept across the spot where Lin Xi had just been standing.
The hard alloy ground was sliced open like tofu, leaving a massive, bottomless rift. The metal around the rift vaporized instantly, emitting bursts of black smoke.
The surrounding crowd instantly exploded into a panic.
"A fight! Run!"
"Are they space pirates?!"
Everyone screamed and fled in all directions. Stall owners scrambled to pack up their stalls. In just a few seconds, the originally bustling market became completely empty, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Lin Xi stared at the massive rift with a pale face, her back instantly drenched in cold sweat.
If Ye Chuan had not pulled her away just now, she would have been cut in half.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Chuan patted her shoulder and casually waved his hand, enveloping her in a black-and-gold chaos barrier.
"Stay here, no one can hurt you."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the empty air not far away, his tone flat. "Hiding for so long, are you finally willing to come out?"
The air distorted for a moment, and five figures wearing black stealth combat suits slowly materialized.
It was the Divine Punishment Squad.
Thunderblade held two energy war blades, staring sharply at Ye Chuan, his face full of solemnity.
He was the one who unleashed the spatial blade just now. He had thought it would be a guaranteed hit, but unexpectedly, Ye Chuan was able to detect it in advance and dodge it so easily.
"How did you discover us?" Thunderblade asked in a deep voice.
Their stealth combat suits were the latest development from the Academy of Sciences, capable of shielding all energy fluctuations and life signals. Even powerful experts would find it difficult to spot them.
"Intuition," Ye Chuan said lightly. "The killing intent on you guys is too thick. I could smell it from three streets away."
Killing intent?
What kind of metaphysical nonsense is that?
"Hmph, you indeed have some skills." Bull stepped forward, wielding the spatial battle axe in his hands, the axe blade flashing with a cold, icy light.
"I am Bull of the Divine Punishment Squad! Kid!"
"Divine Punishment Squad?" Ye Chuan did not recall provoking any Divine Punishment or whatever. "What, were you sent by the Core Star Realm to kill me?"
Thunderblade said coldly, "Ye Chuan, you murdered a Federation envoy, a heinous crime! Surrender immediately and return with us to the Core Star Realm to face judgment!"
"Judge me?" Ye Chuan laughed out loud as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Are you even worthy?"
"You don't know the meaning of death!" Bull roared furiously.
He swung his spatial battle axe and chopped fiercely at Ye Chuan.
Wherever the battle axe passed, space was torn apart layer by layer, and black spatial turbulence gushed out.
Ye Chuan stood in place, not even moving an inch.
He merely raised his right hand casually and tapped lightly with his index finger.
"Clang!!!"
With a deafening crash, the spatial battle axe struck the invisible barrier formed by the power of chaos, bursting with dazzling sparks.
Bull only felt a tremendous rebound force transmit over. The spatial battle axe in his hands was directly blasted away and ultimately shattered into pieces.
"What?!" Bull's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
His full-strength strike actually couldn't even break the opponent's defense?
"Is that all the strength you have?" Ye Chuan shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"Iceglass!" Thunderblade shouted sternly.
Iceglass, who had been aiming for a long time, pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Pew!"
An almost invisible antimatter beam sliced through the air, shooting straight for Ye Chuan's head.
This could blow up even an asteroid with a single shot.
Of course, the space station's materials and energy shields were specially made, quite different from an ordinary rocky planet.
Ye Chuan tilted his head slightly.
The bullet brushed past his cheek and hit a building behind him.
"Boom!!!"
Thousands of ten-thousand-meter-tall buildings were instantly pierced and turned into fine dust, leaving not even a speck of residue behind.
"Your reaction is quite fast," Iceglass said coldly, raising the sniper rifle again and aiming at Ye Chuan's heart.
"Interfere with him!" Thunderblade shouted, charging at Ye Chuan alongside Bull.
"Die!" Thunderblade's two energy war blades ignited with golden flowing light. He leaped into the air and slashed down at the top of Ye Chuan's head.
Bull also picked up a huge steel beam from the ground and swept it horizontally toward Ye Chuan.
The other two team members also used their instruments to control the space. The space was being torn and distorted, compressing Ye Chuan's range of movement to the absolute limit.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
