Chapter 604: The Devil of the Ninth Level Civilization Star Domain
Two days later, Lin Yun consolidated his realm, not stopping his cultivation.
"Hm?"
A day later, Lin Yun abruptly opened his eyes, looking ahead.
Far away, a battleship was steadily approaching them.
Various data analyses from the battleship suggested a high-level battleship, likely surpassing the medium-level battleships of a level-nine technologically advanced civilization, even surpassing the high-level battleships of such civilizations.
"Could it be a superior-level battleship of a level-nine technologically advanced civilization?"
Lin Yun frowned, murmuring to himself.
The highest-level battleship available for sale in the Cosmic Trading System was only a medium-level one of a level-nine technologically advanced civilization. If the opponent's battleship was at this level, it likely belonged to a formidable entity, either from a level-nine Civilization Star Domain, or someone who had traveled to a level-nine civilization and had done well there.
This level of battleship would probably be hard to come by in a level-eight Civilization Star Domain.
Just then, that battleship sent a communication connection request to Lin Yun's battleship.
Lin Yun was slightly taken aback but quickly agreed.
It was commonplace to encounter other fleets while traveling through the cosmic star space, and it was also quite normal for both sides to request a communication connection.
However, their battleship was just a superior one from a level-eight technologically advanced civilization, and the level gap between their battleship and the opponents' was considerable. Generally, the opponent would ignore them upon seeing their battleship level and simply keep on moving.
Their request for communication surprised Lin Yun.
Afterward, Lin Yun tensed slightly.
Could the opponent be thinking of ambushing them?
If this was the case, they really needed to stay alert.
A superior battleship from a level-nine technologically advanced civilization had a comprehensive strength equivalent to a peak level-twelve Cultivator. However, what kind of powerhouse would be operating such a battleship?
Merely a superior battleship from a level-nine technologically advanced civilization was not something Lin Yun would particularly worry about.
If there was also a peak level-twelve powerhouse aboard, dealing with them could be a major problem for Lin Yun's team.
"Lin Yun, my young friend, what a coincidence to meet again." An image of an old man in grey soon appeared in the central control room of Lin Yun's battleship. The old man in the image chuckled.
"So it's Chief Bahu, ah, it is indeed quite a coincidence." Lin Yun was slightly taken aback. Then he smiled faintly and spoke.
He never expected to encounter this man again here. This grey-clothed old man was none other than Chief Bahu Ye of the Bahu Family, whom they had met over ten days ago.
Deep down inside, Lin Yun was astounded.
He hadn't expected Bahu Ye to have a superior battleship from a level-nine technologically advanced civilization. Along with Bahu Ye's power, which was comparable to a peak level-twelve cultivator, and the 1.8 trillion spirit crystals in cash, Bahu Ye was extremely formidable.
If Bahu Ye had indeed chosen to fight to the death back then, they could have been in real danger.
It seemed he had indeed underestimated the heroes in this world.
Already in a level-eight Civilization Star Domain, there were such forces and such powerhouses.
They were currently heading towards a level-nine Civilization Star Domain. If he entered the level-nine Civilization Star Domain with his current mindset, there might be disastrous consequences.
Thinking in this way, Lin Yun's attitude towards Bahu Ye softened slightly.
He always believed in treating others as they treated him.
Bahu Ye had potential and means to deal with them, but had chosen not to, instead giving them a substantial compensation in return. However...
in reality, Lin Yun's side only lost three hundred trillion spirit crystals spent on buying three Heaven-Shocking Divine Thunders, while Bahu Ye's side suffered losses of several level-twelve powerhouses in their early stages, as well as many level-eleven powerhouses. Comparatively speaking, Bahu Ye had suffered much graver losses and damage than them.
At this point, Bahu Ye was still being so courteous while talking to him.
This made Lin Yun feel slightly embarrassed.
"Are you planning on heading to a level-nine Civilization Star Domain, my young friend Lin Yun?" Bahu Ye curiously inquired then.
"Yes." Lin Yun nodded.
Gauging from the direction they were progressing in, it wasn't hard to guess their destination.
"A major event has happened in the level-nine Civilization Star Domain. Have you heard the news, my young friend Lin Yun?" Bahu Ye continued.
"What event?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
These days, his mind was mostly occupied with cultivation. He didn't follow much of the news sect+ion in the Cosmic Trading System. Therefore, he wasn't aware of the major event that had occurred in the level-nine Civilization Star Domain. Now, he was genuinely curious.
What kind of a major event could it be that even a level-twelve peak cultivator like Bahu Ye was paying attention to it?
"Recently, a demon has appeared in the level-nine Civilization Star Domain and is wreaking havoc there, mercilessly slaughtering the spirits of the level-nine Civilization Star Domain. Many powerhouses have fallen at the demon's hands, including quite a large number of level-twelve powerhouses.
Even a demi-Super Warrior suffered a great loss under the demon's onslaught and nearly fell..." Bahu Ye explained.
"What? Something like this happened?" Lin Yun was slightly startled.
If even a demi-Super Warrior suffered a great loss at the hands of that demon and nearly fell, how strong must that demon be? Could the demon be a Super Warrior?
A powerful entity of such stature doing evil could cause unimaginable damage!
The level-nine Civilization Star Domain was in such chaos?
"The news has spread among the higher-levels of the level-nine Civilization Star Domain. My young friend Lin Yun, you can look it up in the news section of the Cosmic Trading System. You should be able to find some information. Right now, many powerhouses are trying to hunt down the demon.
However, during this period, it would be better for anyone entering the level-nine Civilization Star Domain to travel in groups. This way, if they encounter that demon, they won't be completely defenseless," advised Bahu Ye with a series of nods.
"I'll look it up." Lin Yun nodded slightly.
While talking, he started searching in the Cosmic Trading System.
Because his search was targeted, the results came up quickly.
Indeed, the news section of the Cosmic Trading System contained this information.
However, on seeing the search results, Lin Yun couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Nanweng, that demon... it's Nanweng..." Lin Yun murmured in shock.
In one of the videos, an old man was seen holding a blood-colored long sword. With a wave of his hand, numerous spirits fell under his sword. The old man and the Blood Sword emitted dazzling, blood-colored rays of light. Wasn't that the old man, Nanweng, who had taken the Bloodthirsty Sword from him?
"Nanweng indeed started using the Blood Sword, and from his reaction, it seems he couldn't suppress the backlash of the Blood Sword," Lin Yun cut off the communication connection with Bahu Ye, his face rapidly changing as he spoke sternly.
This was bad news. His intention for this trip to the level-nine Civilization Star Domain had been to reclaim the Blood Sword from Nanweng. However, with the current situation, if he went to find Nanweng, it would be a miracle if Nanweng didn't kill him on the spot.
At the time, Nanweng was already a demi-Super Warrior.
Nanweng, who now held the Blood Sword, was likely to be even stronger.
Furthermore, Nanweng, after having used the Blood Sword for some time, should have become even more powerful.
This could faintly be seen from the video; Nanweng was fighting numerous level-twelve warriors, including those in the late and peak stages of level-twelve. However, they didn't have any fighting chance against him.
Typically, a demi-Super Warrior shouldn't be able to accomplish this.
"I'm afraid that only a Super Warrior can threaten him now. Moreover, they need to act fast. If they're too slow, and Nanweng advances to the level of Super Warrior, he might be a threat even to ordinary Super Warriors..." Lin Yun drew a deep breath and muttered.
He had used the Blood Sword before, so he was very familiar with the transcendental nature of the Blood Sword.

Little White and Little Blue were still inside that Blood Sword. Now, Nanweng had used the Blood Sword to kill so many powerhouses and must have absorbed a lot of blood from the powerhouses. How were Little White and Little Blue?
Lin Yun was worried.
