The Stars Beyond

Chapter 410: Otherworldly VIP

It was hard to tell what era this ancient spaceship was from, floating in space for who-knows-how-many years. And now, suddenly, there were spectators in the seats?

Yan Yan had a striking and enchanting appearance, but as the co-lord of the demon clan, she naturally had her pride, having once dominated with an iron fist and reigned supreme.

In her hands, the Godslaying Banner exploded with a resounding boom, golden patterns intertwining and resonating like the surging of the starry sea, overwhelming everything in its path. How could the Demon Lord tolerate being a mere spectacle?

Those in the seats were treating her as a gladiator, a ’performer’ in the arena, for their own entertainment.

Among the four beams descending from the sky, one was hazy, with two people clapping slowly and lightly as if expressing their satisfaction reservedly.

The golden banner surface enlarged rapidly with vast golden patterns, instantly crashing onto the four beams of light. Normally, even transcendent experts of the present world would have to avoid it!

A deafening sound erupted, like two meteors colliding in the sky, with dazzling light as if igniting the dark universe!

The spectators were, however, quite formidable. They stood motionless while a fierce burst of light rose instantly like a barrier, blocking the attacks from the Demon Lord.

Wang Xuan's pupils contracted momentarily. This place was far too eerie.

The near-transparent barrier made contact with the golden patterns spreading from the Godslaying Banner, resulting in a terrifying explosion.

The four figures stood motionless, but a fierce burst of light rose instantly like a barrier, blocking the attacks from the Demon Lord.. The near-transparent barrier made contact with the golden patterns spreading from the Godslaying Banner, resulting in a terrifying explosion.

Runes scattered as the two combatants collided. It was an astonishing sight—a collision of the remnants of the old rules of the world. Any normal transcendents caught in the fray would have been instantly killed.

Behind the barrier, the four humanoid creatures seemed taken aback. Then, one of them, who seemed to be a woman, pointed over, saying something.

"Xigula madua khan..."

It was a completely incomprehensible language, faintly transmitted through the translucent barrier, but she seemed excited and indignant.

As she stood in the towering beam of light, her figure was blurry, but her silhouette appeared feminine. She had long hair draped over her shoulders and a diamond-shaped glowing object the size of a fingertip on her forehead.

She was furious and seemed to be babbling incoherently, pointing at the Demon Lord. Beside her, a tall male-looking figure with an even more intense diamond-shaped glow at his brow gestured for her to calm down, seemingly about to take action.

The man took a step forward, and in an instant, the translucent barrier began to shake violently. The orderly flow of light splintered in all directions as he prepared to counter Yan Yan.

The Godslaying Banner expanded to cover the sky, fluttering loudly as Yan Yan held it single-handedly and used it like a spear, thrusting forward abruptly.

The banner cracked the barrier—its flagpole piercing through it—surprising the figures within the four beams of light.

However, the man did not retreat; he was about to leap over the barrier and engage with the Demon Lord, the beam of light around him also moving forward.

"Alert, superorganism out of control! Danger! Defense initiated!" The mechanical voice sounded again, harsh and grating.

The cracked barrier dissolved, turning into a dazzling light and enveloping the area, roaring incessantly as if something had been passively activated. The four beams of light, carrying the four individuals, connected to an unknown destination and swiftly disappeared.

The remaining barrier and the light shattered like crystal glass, bursting into pieces and dissipating into nothingness within the vast cabin.

At the same time, in the area where Wang Xuan was, three beams of light descended as if dropping down from the sky and pierced through the highest part of the cabin wall.

Three blurry figures appeared on the seats, standing within the pillars of light. One of them looked down at the arena, seemingly laughing as she pointed at Wang Xuan and communicated with her companions.

Just like the appearance of the second set of armor had a time lag, these new humanoid beings were the same. The second batch of spectators had arrived.

A man threw an object onto the platform, which rolled to Wang Xuan's feet. It looked like a fruit from the spiritual realm, capable of replenishing the spirit.

Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow. What did this mean?

Are they treating me like a monkey onstage?

"Click, click!" A man from the translucent barrier made sounds, gesturing towards Wang Xuan. At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded from the broken black armor on the platform.

"The guest wants you to show your speed."

Truly, quite the spectators, aren’t they?

With a bang, Wang Xuan stepped on the black armor, causing its abdomen to collapse inward and the transcendent material within to spill out.

Behind the barrier, the humanoid creatures within the three beams of light stood in front of their seats, looking down below with some dissatisfaction. One of them clenched their fist, lightly thumping their chest.

"Mounida!" He exclaimed, still making such sounds.

"The guest wants you to display your wild power," the mechanical voice sounded again.

Wang Xuan's eyebrows raised. This was truly a spectacle; they were treating him like a beast in an iron cage and asking him to perform.

He glanced at the spiritual fruit on the ground, seemingly something between material and energy. Was that it? He had more than one Heavenly Pill in his possession.

Wang Xuan kicked the fruit, sending it flying towards the barrier, and spoke, "You've done well, but don't beat your chest. You can use your fist to hit your own head."

"Kucha Liye..." The black armor under his foot spoke at the same time, as if interpreting Wang Xuan’s words for the guests.

The two men and one woman across from him were first puzzled upon hearing this, then their vague facial contours showed a strange expression as they glanced at Wang Xuan.

The woman spoke, her voice pleasant to the ears, rhythmic and melodious.

"The noblewoman wishes to buy you, to cultivate you, to help you break free from primitiveness and ignorance, and to become an outstanding barbarian warrior," the mechanical voice sounded again.

Wang Xuan's eyes deepened, and he did not immediately react. He had heard some valuable information, and he wanted to understand more.

This was all a bit absurd. Who were these people?

However, the other party fell silent, waiting for his response and seemingly also waiting for the black armor to evaluate something.

After a moment, the mechanical voice sounded again: "After inspection, he is still a wild man, uncaptured. If you wish to purchase, you will need to wait. First, drive him into the cage."

It was again the black armor that spoke, gradually breaking free from the ancient language of the Old Earth and approaching a language of the present world, as if it could synchronize and optimize. It was acquiring the current linguistic system of the Old Earth.

Wang Xuan's expression turned slightly cold. Defining him as a primitive savage? How powerful and proud was this civilization?

Then, he lifted his foot and stomped wildly on the black armor, causing it to deform into a pitted and concave shape.

"Warning! Although he is a super biological cub with noble bloodlines, he has serious violent tendencies and suspected genetic defects, and will be difficult to tame. Not recommended for purchase."

The mechanical words angered Wang Xuan. What kind of species dared to label him like this? He stomped the black armor to pieces, but it could still produce sound.

Yan Yan walked lightly towards them. "Interesting, it's been a long time since we've had such an event. And someone who dares to look down on us? Quite amusing. I would like to capture them and study them."

Her long red dress trailed on the ground, and the slight slit on one side revealed a pair of snow-white legs. Surprisingly, she was wearing crystal high heels made of special materials. It was a mix of ancient and modern attire.

"You, come here. I want to cultivate you," Wang Xuan pointed to the area behind the barrier, looking at the two men and one woman.

The Demon Lord didn't rush to take action, fearing that the three might also be taken away by the beams and leave the scene.

In the hazy light columns, all three vague figures seemed to show a different color. Although they had been offended, they didn't show any anger but rather seemed more intrigued.

However, this gaze made Wang Xuan uncomfortable. It wasn't an appreciation for their kind; it seemed more like astonishment—a different look towards outsiders.

The electromagnetic sound was piercing the ears, as if the cabin was being invaded by some energy. It was continuously buzzing but soon stabilized.

Then, the woman in one of the light columns spoke, showing proficiency in the Old Earth language. Seemingly, what she had communicated earlier was to acquire this language system to use now.

"I demand that he be captured immediately. I want to cultivate this primitive outlier. Perhaps one day, he may evolve into an outstanding barbarian god," she spoke gently, her expression somewhat elusive as she smiled. She had blue hair and there was also a glowing object at her brow, but it wasn't a rhombus crystal; it was a sparkling red dot, adding a strange layer of beauty.

Wang Xuan remained calm and did not erupt. He asked, "Who are you, and which civilization do you come from?"

If it wasn’t to understand their origins and uncover the truth, he wouldn't have conversed with them so peacefully; he would have acted already.

Based on intuition, he judged that these three were not from nearby star system civilizations. Perhaps they originated from extremely distant deep space, or maybe even a different universe.

"I will be your cultivator. You don't need to know anything else for now," the woman replied. She then looked at Yan Yan. "She's not bad either. Excellent bloodline, rare super biological specimen.Perhaps I should also buy you, make you companions. Hmm, your offspring may mutate and become even stronger. Worth looking forward to!"

Wang Xuan's face tightened as he looked at her, ready to take action himself. Since she had refused to reveal her origins, there was nothing more to say.

Demon Lord Yan Yan suppressed her faint smile, her fair face almost darkening with frustration. Who was this woman that dared to face her with such an attitude?

"I think capturing you, allowing you to breed with this 'cub' here to produce offspring, is not a bad idea. Worth cultivating," Yan Yan spoke, staring at the woman in the light column.

Since they could communicate, they could discuss. She naturally hoped to coax out more information, to know more, without immediately using the Godslaying Banner to attack.

At this remark, the faces of the two men in the light column darkened visibly, obviously displeased.

The blue-haired woman in the light column, however, did not get angry. Instead, she tilted her head thoughtfully and said, "There have been precedents where cultivators and superorganisms combined, giving birth to exceptionally outstanding mutant offspring. However, his current level of life is still very low, so I won't consider it for now."

What is this? This is just...

Wang Xuan looked at the woman, then at Yan Yan.

Are these two treating me as a goddamn breeding stallion?!

"Enough, capture them immediately. I want to buy both of them and take them away to cultivate their super bloodlines," said the blue-haired woman in the light column.
