Chapter 405 - 162: Cosmic Star Thief

The spaceship, traveling at ten times the speed of light, vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ordinary people couldn’t withstand such FTL speeds. Only top-tier Cultivators could handle it.

With the ship’s barriers and the fact that they had all reached the absolute peak below the True God Level, the speed had no effect on them.

The ship plunged into the vast, starry sky, its trail vanishing in an instant.

Inside the ship, Chen Yu watched the Stellar Battlefield shrink in the distance before turning his gaze to the boundless cosmos.

’The Outer Domain Battlefield!’

A chaotic land spanning billions of star systems.

It was an extremely dangerous place.

Even True Gods couldn’t guarantee their own safety there.

The core region was even more dangerous.

However, they were only heading to the outer regions of the Outer Domain Battlefield. While there were still risks, they were manageable.

Although terrifying Starry Sky Beasts roamed the outskirts of the Outer Domain Battlefield, there shouldn’t be any major problems as long as their luck wasn’t too bad.

In the outer warzone, besides the Starry Sky Beasts, there were also other Stellar Alien Races.

This was the greatest danger of all.

Some Stellar Alien Races were innately bloodthirsty, and any encounter would trigger a massive battle.

There were no guarantees.

The Human Race had many enemies in the Celestial River Star System, but on the Outer Domain Battlefield, they had even more.

You could say that aside from your own kind, any other Alien Race you encountered was a potential enemy.

Here, no rules could restrain anyone.

Strength was the only Law!

This was different from the Stellar Battlefield. While the Stellar Battlefield encompassed many Alien Races from the Celestial River Star System and saw brutal interspecies warfare, it still had binding rules.

True Gods could suppress any violations!

But on the Outer Domain Battlefield, not even True Gods could guarantee their safety.

The deeper one went, the greater the danger.

However, this trip was just for simple training; they wouldn’t be venturing deep into the Outer Domain Battlefield.

They would only be active in the outer regions.

It was a chance to get familiar with the environment ahead of time.

As for the core warzone, they couldn’t enter it even if they wanted to.

Without becoming a True God, one didn’t even have the qualification to enter the core warzone. Setting aside all other dangers, the terrifying Cosmic Law alone was enough to crush them into dust.

Besides, the outer warzone of the Outer Domain Battlefield was itself immensely vast.

The three outer layers were vaster than tens of thousands of star systems like the Celestial River Star System.

It could be described as boundless.

The entire Outer Domain Battlefield was like a small universe in itself.

A battlefield, a Cosmic Forbidden Area, vast enough to encompass the races of billions of star systems, was a territory of unimaginable size.

Just how big was the Outer Domain Battlefield?

It was a question that probably not even a True God could answer.

Even if a True God spent tens of millions of years traveling, they might not be able to cross the entire Outer Domain Battlefield.

One could only roughly imagine the size of this place.

To describe it as boundless was no exaggeration at all.

A single world in the Outer Domain Battlefield was like a drop of water in the ocean.

"Here is some information about the Outer Domain Battlefield. You should all take a look."

As Chen Yu was lost in thought about the Outer Domain Battlefield, a voice spoke up.

The middle-aged True God took out a stack of documents and handed one to each person.

Chen Yu took his copy and looked it over.

The information on it was similar to what the female True God had told him.

But it was also different—more detailed.

"Cosmic Star Thief..."

Chen Yu’s eyes fell on a term in the document.

It was marked as extremely dangerous. The document advised that upon an encounter, one should immediately send a distress signal or flee as quickly as possible.

Cosmic Star Thieves were roving bands of killers that wandered the Outer Domain Battlefield.

To put it another way, they could be understood as pirates.

Cosmic Star Thieves were a band of pirates who roamed the cosmic sea.

Their scale varied.

Common Star Thieves traveled in packs, with at least one Ninth Level Peak expert among them.

If one encountered a large group of Cosmic Star Thieves, one might even run into True God Level pirates.

These Cosmic Star Thieves were all made up of cosmic fugitives.

Vicious, brutal, and bloodthirsty!

These were all synonyms for Cosmic Star Thieves.

The term "Cosmic Star Thief" didn’t refer to a specific race but encompassed all Stellar Alien Races.

There were even Cosmic Star Thieves among the Human Race.

Cosmic Star Thieves were beings who robbed and plundered in life-or-death situations.

Their strength was immense.

They had even formed a Cosmic Star Thief Alliance!

Led by True God Level pirate crews, they specialized in hunting down the various races of the universe.

In their eyes, there was no distinction between races, only profit.

As long as there was enough profit to be made, they would strike at any cost.

Of course, aside from groups of Cosmic Star Thieves, there were also lone practitioners.

Any Cosmic Star Thief who operated alone was also a True God Level being.

However, Cosmic Star Thieves of this caliber were active in the core warzone of the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Their targets were also True Gods.

They wouldn’t bother with anyone below the True God Level.

’This danger really is everywhere...’

Chen Yu sighed inwardly as he read the document.

Cosmic Star Thieves.

Exceptionally dangerous!

Besides Alien Races, Starry Sky Beasts, and cosmic disasters, one also had to watch out for these vicious hunters.

The slightest mistake could lead to being buried in the cosmos.

After everyone finished reading, the mood became heavy.

Although they all knew, to some extent, how terrifying the Outer Domain Battlefield was, after reading the document, they realized its terror surpassed their imaginations.

"The Outer Domain Battlefield is perilous. Once you’re there, it’s best to move in groups. It’ll be safer that way," the female True God reminded them.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Although their strength had reached the Ninth Level Peak, placing them at the apex of their world, their power was still insignificant in the face of the endless universe.

Only by becoming a True God could one truly roam the starry sky.

"This trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield is just for simple training. The most important thing is to stay alive. Nothing else matters. Understand?" the female True God said again.

Everyone nodded silently.

"Senior, what if we discover a Cosmic Divine Medicine?" a young man asked.

The female True God glanced at the young man who had spoken, her expression calm. "If you discover a Cosmic Divine Medicine, it naturally belongs to you. Of course, that’s on the condition that you can handle it."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their eyes shining with excitement.

The meaning was perfectly clear: if you found a Cosmic Divine Medicine, it was yours.

That is, as long as you had the strength to claim it.

If you couldn’t, then that was a different story.

Chen Yu, however, didn’t seem too moved. The probability of finding a Cosmic Divine Medicine was likely even slimmer than surviving the tournament on the Stellar Battlefield.

The odds were one in several million.

Luck was very important!

But luck alone wasn’t enough. Places where Cosmic Divine Medicines appeared were usually accompanied by Starry Sky Beasts.

Cosmic Divine Medicine could enhance any race from the billions of star systems, and Starry Sky Beasts were no exception.

Even if you discovered a Cosmic Divine Medicine, the first thing you’d have to face would inevitably be a Starry Sky Beast.

Only by killing the Starry Sky Beast could you obtain the Cosmic Divine Medicine.

The more potent the Cosmic Divine Medicine, the more terrifying the Starry Sky Beast was likely to be.

For a Heaven-Defying Level Divine Medicine—the kind that could allow someone to become a True God with a single plant—the guardian Starry Sky Beast would inevitably be a True God Level being.

And you might not just face one Starry Sky Beast, but a whole pack!
