Chapter 655 The Great Battle Begins
Of course, this is just a small episode.
Wind Howling Sky didn't mock or disrespectJun Xiaoyao as he had suspected.
—————
After all, as the young master of a supreme clan, fighting over a woman in public or even coming to blows would be rather foolish.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly. He had originally wanted to try pretending to be weak while hiding his true strength.
Now it seemed that wouldn't be necessary for the time being.
"Why are you still clinging to me so tightly?" Jun Xiaoyao felt the soft fullness against his arm and turned his face to transmit a message.
"If we're pretending, we should make it look convincing~" Yan Rumeng deliberately said in a sweet voice.
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
He strongly suspected that Yan Rumeng was taking the opportunity to take advantage of him.
On the other side, on the Wind clan's battleship, several attendants stepped forward with a gleam in their eyes and said, "Young Master, if you like that married woman, why not let us help..."
Wind Howling Sky glanced at them coldly and said, "Am I the kind of person who covets another man's wife? Besides, I wouldn't take over a field that someone else has already plowed."
Although Wind Howling Sky coveted beautiful women, he had principles.
He wouldn't take someone else's leftovers!
That was the bottom line of being a man!
"It's a pity though, such a beauty will eventually perish in the Pit of Sin." Wind Howling Sky sighed inwardly.
He didn't believe that those recruited cannon fodder geniuses would survive the campaign against the Pit of Sin.
After everything was ready, the Xia family, the Wind clan, and the various recruited geniuses and cultivators all boarded their starships.
Looking out, the magnificent fleet numbered over a hundred vessels of various sizes, presenting quite an impressive sight.
Those cultivators who remained in Juque City watched the fleet in the starry sky and sighed with emotion.
"Who knows if this expedition will end with the Xia family's total annihilation or the destruction of the Pit of Sin."
......
The Pit of Sin was located in the central region of the Chaotic Star Sea.
Most of the prosperous ancient cities were in the outer regions.
The central region was already fraught with many dangers. Even Saint Kings and Great Saints could perish if they weren't careful.
This was why the Pit of Sin was established in the central region - for concealment, difficulty of enemy penetration, and various natural defenses.
When the Xia family's punitive fleet entered the central region of the Chaotic Star Sea, they encountered some situations.
Star-devouring ancient beasts the size of small planets appeared.
Fortunately, with the Xia family's Supreme being present, the star-devouring ancient beasts didn't cause too much damage.
Of course, in terms of size, those star-devouring ancient beasts were only juveniles.
A fully grown star-devouring ancient beast could swallow an entire life-bearing ancient star in one gulp.
Even Great Celestial Thearchs and Supreme Mystic Lords might not have the power to slay one.
Finally, after more than half a month, the Xia family fleet finally approached the location of the Pit of Sin.
Looking out, it was a vast asteroid belt.
Almost every meteorite had various structures built on it.
What was chilling was that these structures were all built from bone-white skeletons.
Among them were unmistakably human bones.
This giant ring-shaped asteroid belt was the infamous den of iniquity in the Chaotic Star Sea - the Pit of Sin.
The vast fleet of over a hundred starships stopped dozens of kilometers away from the Pit of Sin.
The aged voice of the Xia family's Supreme being rang out.
"First Criminal, release our Xia family members now and you may still avoid calamity."
Soon, a cold voice no less powerful than the Xia family's Supreme being responded.
"Where is the Imperial Treasure Bowl I demanded?"
"Hmph, you're delusional, dreaming in broad daylight!"
On a main starship, brilliant light erupted as an old man's figure appeared, his Supreme aura sweeping in all directions.
Many surrounding stars silently disintegrated.
Boom!
From deep within the Pit of Sin, an equally Supreme aura erupted, carrying a piercing bloody killing intent.
A man in blood-red robes appeared amidst a sea of blood.
Various creature corpses rolled in the blood sea, filled with dense resentment.
He was the First Criminal of the Pit of Sin.
"I must say, your Xia family's actions are very foolish," the First Criminal's eyes flashed with cold light.
He hadn't thought about killing the hostage immediately.
He had also heard that the Xia family's eldest daughter, Xia Bingyun, loved her sister dearly.
After repelling the Xia family fleet, he would wait for Xia Bingyun to come and exchange the Imperial Treasure Bowl.
At that time, all initiative would be in his hands.
"Hehe, a mere bandit leader dares to commit such an audacious act." The Wind clan's Quasi-Supreme also appeared in the void.
Within the Pit of Sin, several more figures emerged.
They were the Second Criminal, Third Criminal, and others, with strength at the Quasi-Supreme and Saint Lord levels.
"Brother, no need to waste words with them. Let's destroy their fleet first, then wait for the Xia family to deliver the Imperial Treasure Bowl," the Second Criminal said with murderous intent.
"Kill!"
There was no room for reconciliation between the two sides as they immediately began a great battle.
Although Supreme beings participated in this level of battle, it was far from reaching the level of an Immortal War.
On the Ultimate Ancient Road, various forces and races had all kinds of battles erupting almost daily.
On the starships, formations were activated, and terrifying beams of magical power pierced through the void, blasting outward.
On the Pit of Sin's side, the entire asteroid belt actually formed a terrifying summoning formation together.
Dense white bones gathered to form a giant bone dragon.
Many bone demons and bone soldiers also materialized.
Within the Pit of Sin, numerous fierce-looking criminals and bandits appeared.
This scene caused the faces of the recruited genius cultivators to change one after another.
They knew that the campaign against the Pit of Sin would be dangerous, but they hadn't expected it to be dangerous to this extent.
On a secondary starship, Jun Xiaoyao watched this scene with a calm expression, stroking the Yin Jade Rabbit in his arms.
"Where could the base of the Thirteen Great Bandits be?" Yan Rumeng muttered beside him.
"It should be deep within the Pit of Sin, but with their cautious nature, they probably won't participate in the war and are likely planning to relocate," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
"Then we need to hurry," Yan Rumeng said.
On another side, on the Wind clan's ship, Wind Howling Sky's peripheral vision was constantly observing Yan Rumeng and Jun Xiaoyao.
"They're still not panicking? Do they really have something to rely on?" Wind Howling Sky thought.
He had assumed that upon seeing such a dangerous situation, Yan Rumeng would come to seek his protection.
But reality proved that he was overthinking.
"Kill!"
The mighty sounds of battle spread throughout the starry sky.
One starship after another shot like shuttles into the Pit of Sin's asteroid belt.
and the other cultivators on the secondary ships were naturally at the front, like cannon fodder.
Soon, many genius cultivators were torn apart by the bone demons.
The bone dragon had reached the Saint King level.
The Xia family's powerful experts were all tied up dealing with the First Criminal and others.
This Saint King level bone dragon could naturally slaughter freely among the crowd.
It was only now that those geniuses began to regret their decisions.
The rewards were not so easy to obtain.
The easy life was not so easy to enjoy.
"Young Master, do you really not want to capture that woman?" an attendant beside Wind Howling Sky probed.
He could see that Wind Howling Sky was indeed very interested in that beauty.
"Forget it. If she insists on dying with her husband, then let her be," Wind Howling Sky shook his head slightly.
He had already seen the Saint King level bone dragon charging toward Yan Rumeng and the others.
"Alas, such a beauty perishing, how sad and lamentable. I should take advantage of the chaos to find where Xia Chuqing is being held," Wind Howling Sky sighed inwardly.
Just as he was about to turn and take action.
He seemed to see something that made his expression suddenly freeze.
Then his eyes widened, pupils contracted, shocked to the point where his soul trembled and his scalp tingled!
"This is impossible!"
Even with Wind Howling Sky's composure, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock!
