Chapter 704: Interstellar Pirates

ROAR! ROAR!

The roars were deafening, echoing through the starry sky!

Ye Wushuang shot between the stars like a laser beam. Behind him, the Star-Devouring Giant Beast was in hot pursuit, completely fixated on him!

It seemed it wouldn’t rest until it had devoured Ye Wushuang!

This Star-Devouring Giant Beast was shaped like a gigantic frog. Its armored Skin was wrinkled like massive boulders, and it had eight legs and four eyes. Blood streamed from one of its eyes—the very one Ye Wushuang had blasted open with a punch!

It leaped rapidly, crossing star systems. Its eight legs crushed any stars that got in its way. Its speed was also incredible as it tailed Ye Wushuang!

"Kid, go faster!"

"Damn it all, it’s catching up!"

"Son of a bitch, it’s still chasing us!"

...

The Dragon Cat stood on Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, its fur a mess in the howling wind. Ye Wushuang’s speed was nothing short of astonishing; the wind pulled at the Dragon Cat’s lips, threatening to rip them off.

"Fuck, we’ve crossed half the Star Universe and it’s still on our tail. This guy is persistent."

It turned to look at the Star-Devouring Giant Beast behind them and cursed loudly.

Ye Wushuang’s brow was furrowed. He weaved between one star after another, using them as obstacles to significantly slow the Star-Devouring Giant Beast’s pace.

However, the Star-Devouring Giant Beast was immense. As it bounded through the vast Star Universe, its speed was no less than Ye Wushuang’s, giving him almost no chance to catch his breath.

’I have to find a way to shake it off,’ Ye Wushuang thought. ’Otherwise, if I run into another Starry Sky Giant Beast, I’ll be caught between enemies.’

Ye Wushuang’s expression was grim. The wound to his Origin had not yet healed, and his strength was greatly diminished. If he weren’t injured, his methods would have been more than enough to slay the Star-Devouring Giant Beast.

As he pondered, Ye Wushuang landed on a star.

He glanced back at the approaching Star-Devouring Giant Beast and immediately slammed a fist into the star. Endless starlight erupted, forming a celestial curtain that blocked the beast’s line of sight!

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang passed through the curtain of light and rushed toward the next star. He did this several times in a row, making it impossible for the Star-Devouring Giant Beast to track his path.

Soon, Ye Wushuang had left the Star-Devouring Giant Beast far behind.

"We finally shook it!"

The Dragon Cat slumped onto Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, patting its chest with a look of lingering fear.

However, Ye Wushuang didn’t stop. He had only temporarily lost it; he knew the Star-Devouring Giant Beast was still in pursuit.

"Kid, Lord Cat is going to check out that Life Star you collected!"

The Dragon Cat, remembering something, announced this to Ye Wushuang and entered the Chaos Space.

A part of Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense followed it inside.

The "Celestial Dao" was currently suppressed to one side by a shield of light. Seeing Ye Wushuang enter, it prepared to roar, but when the Dragon Cat raised its paw, it clamped its mouth shut.

No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t resemble the supreme Celestial Dao that all living beings feared.

Ye Wushuang also glanced at the Celestial Dao.

"Kid, let’s keep this guy for now," the Dragon Cat began. "He’s a Rule Spirit, the embodiment of a Rule Path itself. When you break through to the Saint Sage Realm in the future, you can extract the Rule Path from his body. It can be used to infinitely perfect your Dao Fruit, and it will even allow your Dao Fruit to accommodate other Great Daos!"

The Dragon Cat spoke without any reservation, making the Celestial Dao want to vomit blood. ’Discussing how to kill me right in front of my face... This cat is too despicable!’

Ye Wushuang frowned and asked, "What about the Celestial’s Mark on him?"

"Hehe, that thing is indeed a good treasure. It’s just that this fellow doesn’t know how to use it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have beaten him so miserably."

The Dragon Cat chuckled, its eyes fixed on the Celestial Dao. The Celestial Dao’s Profound black robes were tattered, and the Dao wounds on its body were constantly ravaging it.

"Is there something else so Profound about this Celestial’s Mark?"

Ye Wushuang frowned. That "Emperor" had arranged for him to attack the heavens precisely to seize the Celestial’s Mark.

"The Celestial’s Mark has many benefits. It’s a treasure that amplifies abilities. For example, if you integrate it into your Eye of the Firmament, the power of the Light of Destruction will be amplified ninefold. The more Celestial’s Marks you have, the greater the amplification!"

The Dragon Cat explained this right in front of the Celestial Dao, making it want to vomit blood again, grinding its teeth in hatred.

"Lord Cat is going to go plunder... no, take inventory of the treasures on that Life Star." After speaking, the Dragon Cat flew toward the star floating next to the Little Sun.

"Don’t touch that Pseudo-Holy Medicine. I have a great use for it." Worried the Dragon Cat would devour the Star Flower, Ye Wushuang gave a special warning before turning his attention to the Celestial Dao.

"Ye Wushuang, you can only suppress me! You can’t kill me! Hahaha... Ah!"

The Celestial Dao had just started to laugh when the Celestial’s Mark was immediately extracted from it.

The Celestial’s Mark resembled a Divine Pattern. It was devoured and underwent Refinement by Ye Wushuang.

The Celestial’s Mark entered the Eye of the Firmament and fell silent within.

"Ye Wushuang, kill me! Come on, kill me!"

The Celestial Dao coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared.

"Be quiet for Lord Cat!"

The Dragon Cat flew over in a rage, a SWOOSH followed by a serving of its claws.

Ye Wushuang paid it no mind and withdrew his Divine Sense.

The moment it returned, he was locked onto by a powerful Divine Sense.

That’s right, Divine Sense. In the starry sky, Starry Sky Giant Beasts don’t have Divine Sense, which meant...

He looked in the direction the Divine Sense had come from and saw an ancient warship traversing the cosmos. The Divine Sense originated from it, and a figure was standing on its deck.

A flicker of joy appeared in Ye Wushuang’s calm heart.

In this vast, empty cosmos, he had finally encountered another person!

However, he didn’t rush over. Instead, he stood his ground.

The ancient warship approached Ye Wushuang, and the figure became clear. It was a one-eyed man leaning against a standard. The flag depicted a skull surrounded by four stars.

As for the one-eyed man, he had the strength of a Pseudo-Saint. He wore a hat, and his clothes were layered in a peculiar way.

He called out in a loud voice, "Friend, are you lost in the stars? Do you need help?"

"I am Ye Wushuang. As you said, friend, I am indeed lost in the stars. I was hoping to catch a ride."

Ye Wushuang stepped through the void and appeared before the man.

"I see! The Interstellar Charge Horn welcomes you, friend!"

The one-eyed man extended a warm invitation and led Ye Wushuang aboard the Charge Horn.

"Thank you, friend!"

Ye Wushuang cupped his fist in thanks.

"No need for thanks. We’re not giving you a ride for free," the one-eyed man said, sizing up Ye Wushuang.

"Then what is it you require, friend?" Ye Wushuang asked with a faint smile.

"We don’t need anything... just all the treasures on you, and your... life!" After looking Ye Wushuang over, the one-eyed man looked up and grinned mockingly.

BOOM!

At the same time, a barrier of light suddenly rose from the Interstellar Charge Horn, trapping Ye Wushuang inside. From within the Charge Horn, eight figures rushed out.

These men had ferocious faces. They carried blades and swords as they surrounded Ye Wushuang.

"Is this how you treat your guests?"

Ye Wushuang observed them. They all had Pseudo-Saint Cultivation, with the one-eyed man being slightly stronger.

"Hahaha! We’re Interstellar Pirates! Our motto is to kill all, rob all, and plunder all! That’s how we treat our guests!"

The one-eyed man laughed mockingly.
