Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 936: Chapter 936 Expansion

Next, the battle erupted silently.

The Dark Empire had already issued their declaration: "Those who follow me shall live; those who resist shall die." Thus, they quickly continued their conquest, and this time, they did not announce which celestial body they were going to attack; they merely sent their army to strike directly.

Three armies still set off for three different celestial bodies, and within days, these three bodies were completely shrouded in darkness.

What does this mean?

The three celestial bodies have already fallen.

My heavens, the Dark Empire is unbelievably strong, destroying everything they touch!

Upon hearing this news, the world was naturally shocked, and immediately, any celestial body connected to the Dark Empire via teleportation arrays shut them down first thing.

Who would dare keep them open? Otherwise, wouldn’t it allow the Dark Empire’s army to attack immediately?

However, could this really stop the Dark Empire’s invasion?

Soon, massive ships rose from the celestial bodies under the Dark Empire’s rule, soaring into the starry sky.

These colossal ships, shrouded in darkness, could only be distinguished by their outlines. As soon as they left the celestial body’s gravitational zone, they began spatial jumps, the speed was astonishingly fast. In just seven or eight days, these ships arrived above a new celestial body.

It’s known that starships also have the capability for spatial jumps, but they are much slower.

For instance, when Shi Hao returned to Yunding Star, even if he used a starship for the last leg, it would still take a month.

Completing the journey between two celestial bodies in seven or eight days is astonishing.

The Dark warships descended, and endless armies poured forth, immediately unleashing a bloody storm.

In just a few days, three more celestial bodies had fallen.

Upon receiving the news, there was half a day of silence in the Great Void Realm.

The Dark Empire, this slaughtering sword is terrifying, invincible in might, annihilating wherever it points, and even without a Star Domain Teleportation Array, they only need seven or eight days to reach the next celestial body.

In this manner, how long would it take them to conquer the entire Universe?

A hundred years? A thousand years?

It seems long, but with the long lifespan of a Heaven Building Ladder Almighties, they can completely accomplish it within their lifetime.

In a moment, all the forces in the world were trembling, hurriedly forming stronger alliances; otherwise, what hope would remain when the Dark Empire’s iron hoofs came stomping?

In such a situation, even the pursuit of Shi Hao diminished greatly in scale.

Only diminished in scale, not stopped, because there were always some who disregarded the bigger picture, whose personal desires overwhelmed everything.

Shi Hao remembered these people, and once he greatly advanced in strength, these individuals would be the first he would seek, and their deaths would not be mourned!

"Where are we going now?" Weng Nanqing asked.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Interested in checking out the Dark Empire’s army?"

"You’re truly insane. While others are avoiding it, you actually want to go?" the Purple Gold Rat chuckled.

"Are you not curious?" Shi Hao retorted.

"Whatever," the Purple Gold Rat replied indifferently.

Can’t you guys be more cautious?

The Ox King stomped his feet beside them, "Master, there are many Heaven Building Ladder experts pursuing you; yet, you still want to venture into the more dangerous Dark Empire? How desperate are you to die?"

Like this, one day you’ll definitely get yourself killed.

But what use was it to object?

Let’s go!

They headed to the celestial body nearest to the Dark Empire. Currently, this celestial body had cut off the teleportation arrays connecting it to the Dark Empire but had kept the others intact.

Thus, these teleportation arrays were extremely busy, with large numbers of people coming from all corners of the Universe to support this celestial body.

This is highly likely to be the next target of the Dark Empire’s attack.

However, as the Dark Empire’s domain expands, they have an increasing number of potential targets to attack. Even if they still send out three armies, it might not be chosen.

With the vastness of the Universe, could there really be a scarcity of Martial Artists?

So, even though the defense covers a large area, each celestial body still gathered a large number of Martial Artists.

Some came out of passion and volunteerism; some due to alliance obligations, needing to come and support, otherwise their own celestial body might be next to suffer; and others were mercenaries, with their payment requiring them to help others safeguard against woes.

The entire celestial body was infused with the tense atmosphere before a great battle, perhaps at any moment, the Dark Empire’s starships might appear above, triggering a horrific massacre.

At least so far, there hasn’t been a precedent of stopping the Dark Empire. Everywhere they go, everything is shrouded in darkness, and no news has ever been reported afterward.

Have the natives died? Or have they been captured?

No one knows; it’s all unknown.

Therefore, everyone couldn’t help but feel anxious; if they failed, all of them might perish.

Fortunately, just two days later, a Peerless Great Ability arrived, greatly boosting everyone’s confidence.

Peerless Ability, truly one of the world’s strongest, each one is synonymous with invincibility.

This Peerless Great Ability was known as Venerable Qingshuang, now over four thousand years old. Without this incident, he might soon ascend to the Immortal Realm, striving for Immortal Ascension, to prolong his lifespan.

An old school Peerless Ability, naturally highly renowned, almost everyone had heard of his illustrious reputation, and everyone was relieved when discussing his past achievements.

With a peerless figure holding the ground, what is there to fear?

Shi Hao remained low-profile, though Venerable Qingshuang hadn’t pursued him. Still, what if he knew Shi Hao was right under his nose and decided to take a shot?

One must be cautious of others.

Reportedly, Venerable Qingshuang was invited thrice with a great reward and humble words, so technically, he wasn’t a hero worrying about the world; strictly speaking, he too was a mercenary.

Suddenly, two days passed by, and in a flash, the sky was covered with black clouds, obscuring the sun and sky.

Look closely, were these really black clouds? They were colossal ships shrouded in darkness!

The Dark Empire has come!

Shi Hao furrowed his brows as he looked into the sky.

Oh, such big ships.

As a rule, starships are made as small as possible to craft them with the least materials. After all, with a Spatial Spirit Tool to hold items, arriving at another celestial body and directly setting up a Star Domain Teleportation Array would be enough.

Such giant starships...this is extravagance!

How much Ten Star materials would this take?

In other words, the Dark Empire had long planned to conquer the world and knew their invasion would cause other celestial bodies to close the teleportation arrays. Hence, they had prepared starships that would not be stopped because of this.

They are absurdly wealthy!

Shi Hao thought of the chains in the Immortal Abode, crafted from Nine Stars material, long and thick. Recasting them would be immensely valuable.

But compared to these starships, that’s just a drop in the ocean.

Absurdly wealthy beyond imagination!
