Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 899

Blue Star

Xia Qingshan, Liang Long, and Cao Ying fought fiercely for a while before they entered outer space. The three of them were very well-matched in this.

Xia Qingshan knew very well that the leaders of Blue Star had betrayed him. Now that they had won, they all had to be eliminated. To continue building a loyal force, he needed to rely on Blue Star’s industrial and educational systems. Otherwise, Blue Star would be useless, and other worlds wouldn’t give him much time to cultivate talent.

Liang Long and the others didn’t need to be reminded; Blue Star was their bottom line, so they were reluctant to cause any damage, which is why they fought in the air.

In a two-against-one situation, Liang Long and the others initially had the advantage, but once Liang Long regained the powers of Lingjing Star and Jiang Star Soul Fragment, Xia Qingshan gained the upper hand.

Liang Long and Cao Ying had just passed their tribulation. Strictly speaking, Liang Long could now be considered an immortal since he no longer had a physical body. Without a physical body, he could not be in the Mahayana Stage and had directly become an immortal.

Cao Ying preserved her physical body, so she was not an immortal but rather at the Mahayana Stage. The rain that fell after passing the tribulation was actually celestial energy, which would continue to refine her body and transform it into an immortal form.

Regardless, even if the two newcomers worked together, they were still no match for Xia Qingshan. If Xia Qingshan’s strength had not been seriously weakened, the two of them would have lost at this moment.

The two people fought while stepping back, and they were getting further away from Blue Star. Xia Qingshan didn’t think much about it; in battles at their level, moving a little bit could mean tens of thousands of miles, which was completely normal.

The Space Mother Ship traveled tens of thousands of miles, and a hatch opened slowly. A cannon emerged, and with the boost of energy, the cannon began to glow softly.

At the same time, other warships gathered near the Space Mother Ship, also aiming their cannons at Xia Qingshan.

After about ten minutes, the cannon fired silently towards Xia Qingshan, moving at one-tenth the speed of light, and the other warships also opened fire at that moment.

"Retreat!"

At the moment of the launch, Liang Long sensed it and whispered to Cao Ying, and the two of them quickly retreated together.

"Hmph."

Xia Qingshan let out a disdainful snort. He knew the power of the Space Battleship, and he was aware that Blue Star had been developing new weapons, but he truly looked down on these weapons.

These weapons, even the strongest one, can only deliver a full strike at the Void Achieving Stage, and the cost is very high. The Space Battleship defeats enemies by focusing its firepower, pouring a lot of attacks onto a single target in a very short time, and then destroying it.

Therefore, to Xia Qingshan, the Space Battleship is only capable of defeating those at the Transmigration Stage, and facing immortals is out of the question.

In the face of dense firepower, Xia Qingshan simply waved his hand, and a wave of rule power appeared before him. Some attacks hit it like a tickle, while others were deflected and missed entirely.

However, at that moment, an attack struck Xia Qingshan’s rule power like an iron can, knocking it away.

A terrifying feeling began to creep into Xia Qingshan’s heart; he sensed something was wrong. The attacks from the Space Battleship, whether they were sonic weapons, particle cannons, Spiritual Cannons, or lasers, were all without substance. How could there be this strange object?

Without thinking, Xia Qingshan prepared to escape, but at that moment, the iron can changed; it exploded, releasing terrifying energy that spread from its center. A black hole appeared at the center, expanding at a frightening speed.

Before it could fully spread, the pressure of the black hole had already reached out, and the teleporting Xia Qingshan was pulled in. He used all his strength to resist this pulling force.

"No…"

Xia Qingshan let out a mournful roar, his gaze turned to Liang Long. He knew this was Liang Long’s doing, and he pleaded with Liang Long to save him.

Liang Long has no way to save Xia Qingshan right now. He and Cao Ying are still caught by that terrifying pull, but they are far apart, so they can hold on for now.

"Black hole?"

Cao Ying asked Liang Long. With her knowledge, she could only think that it was an artificial black hole.

"No, it’s a type of weapon based on rules. It’s hard to explain in just a few sentences; it’s still a test product."

"You dare to use a test product? That’s very bold."

"It’s just living by facing death. So far, I’ve been lucky and succeeded. Look, Xia Qingshan has been torn apart."

"I see that even light cannot escape; Xia Qingshan is surely doomed. Will this black hole keep expanding? It’s less than a hundred million kilometers from Blue Star."

Cao Ying asked, as the speed of the black hole’s spread is terrifying. If it can’t be stopped, Blue Star will be doomed soon.

"No, it’s been calculated. The energy explosion only lasts a few seconds; look, the black hole is stabilizing."

Liang Long said, "He is not foolish. If he really puts Blue Star at risk, Lin Jiang will definitely come after him."

"Did Xia Qingshan just die like that?"

Cao Ying still found it hard to believe. After all, Xia Qingshan was a great being, a powerful entity who had lived for many years, absorbing so much energy. How could he die like this?

"He couldn’t be more dead. Do you know how great the pressure was at the center of the explosion? Just the force alone could tear the whole Blue Star apart. I was prepared for nearly two hundred years."

Liang Long said that he had been stationed at Lingjing Star for many years, but he was secretly preparing, and Lin Jiang gave the greatest support.

Xia Qingshan actually knew, but he didn’t pay much attention since the Spiritual Energy Research Institute was always developing dozens of new weapons and experiments. He just couldn’t keep up.

"I have informed Lin Jiang and the others. They will come soon. As for Blue Star, why don’t you take charge?"

"Let’s forget it. If I take charge of Blue Star, your man will be the first to disagree. You should take charge instead, but since you have preserved your body, it will be a bit more difficult, and you can only take charge in the form of a Soul Fragment."

Liang Long said that he was a little envious of Cao Ying. She had preserved her body, which would lead to better development in the future.

"Okay, I got it. How about you?"

"I’ll keep an eye on it for a while and collect some data. If we can mass-produce this weapon, we can take down any immortal that comes our way. I can’t say we’ll rule the universe, but we will be kings in this Star Domain."

Liang Long said that he estimates this weapon won’t be enough to handle powerful immortals, but ordinary immortals will have a hard time escaping death, as long as it can be mass-produced. We’re still a bit short.

·······

When Lin Jiang returned to Blue Star with a large force, Blue Star had already returned to calm. Everyone was extremely astonished to learn that Xia Qingshan was dead.

Mainly because Blue Star was still intact. In their minds, killing an immortal would require a heavy price; how could it be so easy?

But the fact is, Xia Qingshan was dead, completely dead.

"Little Ying, how are you?"

"I’m fine. The feeling of taking over Blue Star is quite amazing."

"Oh, please tell me more."

Lin Jiang smiled and said, he had successfully passed through several Transmigration stages, but he hadn’t started yet. He wanted to know what would happen after the trials.

"Taking over Blue Star is more like being a parasite. I am connected to the entire Blue Star, becoming its consciousness. The mountains and rivers, the land and sky of Blue Star are all within my senses. I cannot directly change these forms, but I can influence them. Perhaps, this is the way of the heavens."

"It’s just a false way of the heavens; the true way is formless and intangible."

"Yes, that’s true, but, never mind, I can’t explain it clearly at the moment."

"Just take your time to understand. Right now, you are like a newcomer, and we have plenty of time."

Lin Jiang said, having resolved the issue with Xia Qingshan, a heavy weight was lifted from his heart, and he felt much lighter.

"But I still can’t see through your true nature."

"If you can’t see through me, then you can’t see through me. What can you do?"

"Hmm."

"How strong are you now?"

"Very strong, many times stronger than Transmigration Stage, and I can replenish my power at any time. I cannot help but devour the souls of those who died normally on Blue Star."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, and I have a certain urge."

"What urge?"

"To eliminate all the powerful ones. Only the souls of cultivators below Tao Achieving can satisfy my hunger. The souls of cultivators above Tao Achieving contain the essence that can increase my strength. If someone lacks focus, a planet can be quickly consumed."

"You must stay focused and not eat me; I’m not a mantis."

Lin Jiang smiled and said that if he woke up in the middle of the night to find Cao Ying had eaten him, it would not be a joking matter.

"Don’t worry, I still have this much self-control."

"I’ll find a chance to make it up to you."

Lin Jiang said that it would be difficult to wait for the Tao Achieving masters on Blue Star to pass away, as they are mostly young talents. They need to find opportunities to expand and look for new life planets, especially those like Blue Star that are not under any power.

After chatting with Cao Ying for a while, Lin Jiang gathered the senior leaders to discuss the significant changes in power on Blue Star. It was time to change some rules to avoid hurt feelings in the future.
