Harvest

"So many avatars?"

"And their aura hasn't diminished?"

The star patterns on the Star Lord's carapace also stalled for a moment.

At this moment, true astonishment appeared for the first time in its star-like eyes. It had never seen avatars where every single one possessed the exact same cultivation level as the main body.

This...

Is he hacking?

Ye Chuan stood before the thousand avatars, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. "Fighting you alone is a bit strenuous, so a thousand of us will attack together. Don't be nervous, gang beatings are also a part of immortal cultivation."

As these words fell, black-gold immortal light erupted from their bodies, instantly converging into a monstrous tide that pressed toward the Star Lord's massive body, which covered the edge of the galaxy.

The Star Lord let out a low roar that shook the star field, and the star maps on its carapace all lit up!

At this moment, countless star patterns rotated like an ancient formation. Layers upon layers of starlight barriers appeared before it, as if refining the entire starry sky into a shield.

The avatars charged forward. Each one contained the immortal power of a peak Golden Immortal, blasting the starlight barriers apart layer by layer, the light illuminating half of the Third Frontier.

The Star Lord's dragon claws swept across, smashing dozens of avatars with a single swipe. The immense power directly crushed those avatars into chaotic fragmented light. But the next instant, the black-gold tide surged, and those shattered avatars condensed once more.

Although Ye Chuan's chaos avatars feared physical attacks, they themselves could resurrect infinitely.

He alone was an army.

However strong he was, his avatars were just as strong!

This was Ye Chuan's most insidious trick!

Ye Chuan stood in the distance watching this scene, unable to hold back a laugh.

"Your power is endless, right? Sorry, my mana bar is quite long too."

The Star Lord did not respond. It opened its dragon mouth, and the starlight breath once again pierced through the void. A blazing white beam of light swept over, swallowing hundreds of chaos avatars along the way. However, because of the power of chaos, they were not afraid at all.

Those avatars were like countless inexhaustible black-gold fiends, rushing toward the Star Lord batch after batch. Some wielded swords to slash at its divine soul, some threw punches to shatter the starlight, and others directly clung to the Star Lord's carapace, attempting to tear apart those star patterns.

The Star Lord's carapace vibrated, and the star map grand formation roared into motion. Illusory stars rose from its back, turning into giant millstones that crushed everything in all directions, grinding many avatars to dust.

The Ten Thousand Races Alliance was affected by the aftermath of this battle and could barely protect themselves, but they couldn't imagine that a human could actually clash head-on with the Star Lord.

Was this still a human?

The Star Lord's power was as heavy as a star field; any random attack could tear a planet apart. But Ye Chuan's chaos avatars carried a near magic-immunity characteristic. Many starlight laws hitting them could only shave off the outer layer of chaos, making it very difficult to completely annihilate their origin.

Ye Chuan himself wasn't idle either. He raised his hand, opened his spatial backpack, and directly grabbed a distant uninhabited barren planet.

That's right, the spatial backpack was also insidious.

Ye Chuan could pack away a planet and use it as a weapon.

Just as everyone in the Ten Thousand Races Alliance saw clearly what it was, Ye Chuan had already used the spatial backpack to swing the planet, smashing it viciously toward the Star Lord's dragon head.

"Come, take a big planet smack from me first."

The planet tore through the void, carrying shattered continents, magma, and chaotic flames, and crashed into the Star Lord's forehead. With a boom, it exploded. The blinding light made all the spectators unable to open their eyes, and the Star Lord's massive dragon head was also knocked slightly askew.

Ye Chuan didn't let up. The spatial backpack opened continuously, constantly storing planets and hurling them over.

Cosmic-scale bricks!

Every bombardment made the starry sky tremble violently. The scales on the Star Lord's forehead constantly cracked, and large swaths of starlight spewed from the wounds like a burning celestial river hanging upside down in the depths of the universe, so spectacular it made one's soul tremble.

But the Star Lord's recovery was equally terrifying. As long as the star maps on its carapace lit up, vast power from the depths of the star field poured into its body. The cracked scales quickly healed, and the spewing starlight returned into its flesh and blood.

Ye Chuan looked at its rapidly healing wounds and raised an eyebrow.

"Your recovery speed is pretty shameless too. I just smashed you and you patched it right up. So this entire galaxy is actually your health pack?"

The cold light in the Star Lord's eyes surged. Its massive tail swept in from beyond the planetary rings. Wherever it passed, asteroid belts were annihilated in droves, and hundreds of chaos avatars were whipped to pieces by the tail!

Ye Chuan's figure flashed, dodging that tail strike.

At this moment, the Star Lord was surrounded and looking somewhat miserable for the first time. Its body was simply too massive, and its attack range was naturally terrifying. But facing these infinitely resurrecting avatars with magic immunity, it felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

On the vast scale of the Star Lord's body, these avatars were no different from fungi. But the key was that these fungi resurrected infinitely, feared no potions, and could even corrode its body.

Uncomfortable!

The most crucial part was that Ye Chuan was in the distance, constantly absorbing planets and smashing them over.

The Star Lord didn't even understand how the other party was doing it!

At this moment, Ye Chuan was killing with rising excitement. All the avatars charged at once, the black-gold torrent sweeping up once again!

And the Star Lord also completely erupted. The dragon head roared at the sky, and the carapace star maps turned into countless starry river chains, sweeping toward the thousand avatars.

The starry river chains pierced through the void, shattering chaos avatars one by one. But even more avatars reformed from the black-gold tide. Like an endless calamity of soldiers, they continuously pounded the Star Lord's defense line.

Ye Chuan's main body took the opportunity to close in on the Star Lord's forehead. The magic sword Beiyana slashed out an extremely deep divine soul sword mark. Immediately after, he clenched his left fist, the power of chaos condensing into a black-gold mountain, and punched heavily into that sword mark.

The Star Lord let out a roar laced with pain for the first time.

"Human!"

"Puny human!!!"

The massive dragon head jerked back, anger surfacing in its star-like eyes. From the rift Ye Chuan had punched into its forehead, starlight and divine soul light spewed out simultaneously.

Just as Ye Chuan wanted to follow up with another strike, the Star Lord's dragon horns suddenly lit up. Two beams of starlight piercing the universe erupted from the tips of the horns, directly hitting Ye Chuan's chest.

His immortal body was torn apart on the spot, and his divine soul was also pierced by the starlight!

Ye Chuan died.

However, the golden phoenix flames ignited once more, and Ye Chuan reformed not far away.

Ye Chuan lived.

His resurrection armor had refreshed, and it conveniently reset all his cooldowns as well.

The Star Lord fell silent for a moment, as if tired.

This human's resurrection mechanism was extremely special. After death, his status reset. Even the starlight that pierced the divine soul just now could only kill him once, and then it had to watch him come right back.

The Star Lord could kill Ye Chuan.

But it couldn't kill him completely.

Ye Chuan could also hurt the Star Lord.

But the Star Lord had the backing of the star field, and its injuries recovered just as fast.

If the two sides continued fighting, the only thing that would truly collapse was the Third Frontier. This space would eventually be reduced to nothingness.

Ye Chuan clearly realized this as well, but he didn't stop immediately. It was rare to meet such a durable opponent, and he felt it would be a loss not to try out a few more moves.

Ye Chuan summoned his chaos dharma idol. Raising a sword and sweeping it across, the planets along the way were pulverized.

"This sword, let's see if you can actually withstand it."

"Arrogant!"

The Star Lord roared in anger, the star maps on its carapace all lighting up. Ninety-nine starry river barriers overlapped in front of it. Its dragon-turtle body sank slightly, its four feet stepping on the void, as if it was going to use the foundation of the entire star field to take this sword.

Ye Chuan slashed down.

The black-gold sword light pierced through the Third Border.

The galaxy barriers shattered layer by layer, and the massive body of the Star Lord was forced back continuously by the oppressive sword light!

A sword slash tens of millions of miles long appeared on the Star Lord's carapace. Star maps fractured, starlight surged chaotically, and even its star-like eyes dimmed for a moment.

But before Ye Chuan could continue his attack, countless specks of starlight gathered from the depths of the Third Border, pouring into the Star Lord's carapace like billions of tiny streams, causing the terrifying sword wound to slowly heal.

Ye Chuan looked at the slowly closing wound and finally clicked his tongue.

Damn it, to think it can heal even this. That's just unreasonable.

The Star Lord stared at Ye Chuan, its voice much heavier than before. This sword strike of yours was able to injure my source, but you cannot kill me unless you destroy this entire star field.

Ye Chuan looked up at his surroundings. The Third Border was shattered beyond recognition. Spatial rifts crisscrossed, resource planet orbits were in chaos, and the wreckage of many warships floated in the distance like a drifting graveyard of steel.

Of course, he could keep fighting.

The Star Lord could keep fighting too.

But if they kept fighting, this galaxy would most likely be reduced to a junkyard, and the Origin Stone veins along with the cultivation civilization data might be destroyed in the crossfire.

Ye Chuan didn't want to make this trip through all that hard work only to end up destroying his own loot.

The Star Lord didn't make another move either.

Although it was angry, it was equally aware that Ye Chuan couldn't kill it, and it couldn't make Ye Chuan stay either.

Both sides were monsters capable of endless recovery. Continuing this war of attrition would only result in the complete destruction of the Myriad Races Alliance's Third Border as collateral damage.

After a long time, the Star Lord slowly spoke. Its voice remained majestic, but it lacked the initial indifference of looking down on all living beings.

Human, you may take a portion of the Origin Stones, but the core veins of the Myriad Court must not be touched again.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan couldn't help but chuckle. Are you negotiating terms with me?

The Star Lord's massive pupils locked onto him, starlight slowly swirling deep within its eyes. I am not afraid of you. I simply do not wish to see this galaxy destroyed here.

Ye Chuan looked around at the battered and shattered starry sky, then checked the Origin Stone reserves in his spatial backpack, and finally put away the magic sword Beiyana.

Alright, seeing as you put up a pretty good fight, I'll give you this face.

In the distance, the members of the Myriad Races Alliance all had complicated expressions upon hearing this.

They really wanted to say that the Star Lord was obviously the ultimate trump card of the Myriad Races Alliance, yet coming out of Ye Chuan's mouth, it sounded like he was mercifully letting this galaxy off the hook.

But no one dared to retort.

Because everyone could tell that the Star Lord truly couldn't do anything about Ye Chuan.

The Star Lord's massive figure slowly retreated. The star patterns on its carapace dimmed bit by bit, the chaotic gravitational tides gradually subsided, and the bloodline pressure that had left the Myriad Races Alliance crowd almost breathless finally receded.

Before leaving, the Star Lord gave Ye Chuan one last look, and its ancient voice drifted over from the edge of the galaxy.

Human, I will remember you.

This... is only my avatar.

Ye Chuan froze for a moment, raised his hand and waved, then followed up with his own boast, This is just my alt account too. I have a main account you know.

The Star Lord did not respond further.

Its phantom slowly sank into the depths of the universe. The dragon head, turtle body, and star-ring-like tail gradually faded, leaving only those star-like eyes closing in the darkness.

It wasn't until the Star Lord's aura completely dissipated that the Myriad Races Alliance members in the Third Border finally dared to breathe.

Those Alliance members kneeling in the void took a long time before they could barely raise their heads. The way they looked at Ye Chuan had completely changed.

Previously, they feared Ye Chuan because he could kill them.

Now, they revered Ye Chuan because he had actually fought the Star Lord to a mutual standstill.

This was an entirely different concept.

The Myriad Races Alliance worshipped power.

Ye Chuan looked down at the Origin Stone veins in his spatial backpack, in a fairly good mood.

He had secured the Origin Stones.

He had also conveniently tested his current combat power limits.

This trip to the Myriad Races Alliance border was a massive profit.

Ye Chuan raised his hand and tore open space. Before leaving, he suddenly looked back at the Myriad Races Alliance in the Third Border.

Oh right, don't just casually send succubus fleets to cause trouble for me in the future. If you make me take a trip for nothing next time, I'll be taking more than just Origin Stones.

The people of the Myriad Races Alliance hurriedly lowered their heads, their voices even more respectful than before, Yes.

Ye Chuan stepped into the spatial rift, his figure disappearing into the ruined starry sky.

The Alliance crowd stood in the devastated Third Border, no one speaking for a long time.

It wasn't until much later that someone asked in a hoarse voice, Is he... really gone?

He's gone, but the Myriad Court must be informed of this matter immediately.

The Third Border fell into dead silence.

The Star Lord descended, the Origin Stones were taken, the Origin God Project was dismantled, and more than half of the border fleet was destroyed. In the end, the instigator merely left behind a remark warning them not to make him waste a trip next time, and then left.

Yet, this was the reality that had just occurred.

...

...

On the other side, inside the Phantom, Ye Chuan walked out from the rift.

Su Rui and Lin Xi had been spacing out in the cockpit. Seeing him return, both of them sat up straight almost simultaneously.

Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked:

Mr. Ye, you're back? Where did you go just now?

Su Rui looked Ye Chuan up and down and noticed his clothes were torn. Her expression instantly became a bit strange. Did you... get into a fight?

Ye Chuan sat back on the sofa and casually replied, Yeah, ran into a pretty big turtle.

Lin Xi and Su Rui fell silent at the same time.

For a moment, they had no idea just how big this pretty big turtle actually was.

And what turtle anyway? The Turtle Tribe of the Myriad Races Alliance?

Ye Chuan thought about it and added, About the size of a galaxy, and it was a pretty good fighter. Let's call it a draw.

The cockpit was quiet for several seconds.

Su Rui suddenly felt she shouldn't have asked.

She even began to doubt whether she was fit to understand the word fight in a normal sense for the rest of her life.

Lin Xi blinked, assuming Ye Chuan was just joking when he said it was the size of a galaxy.

Did you get the Origin Stones then?

Ye Chuan nodded. Got them, and grabbed a few other things along the way.

Are we still going to the Myriad Races Alliance? Su Rui asked.

Hmm... let's skip it for now and head back to the Federation. Ye Chuan's words made Su Rui's face look a bit unpleasant.

Seriously, if you aren't going there, don't go back to the Federation either.

Such a massive harbinger of disaster.

While Su Rui was internally freaking out, Ye Chuan couldn't be bothered with her. He simply tapped the window in front of him, figuring it was about time to log off and go find Ke Ning.

New Century, log out!
