Yu Nan’s deep grey eyes flashed with keen light, probing, “The Bloodthirsty Sovereign?” When Sean, Yu Shan, Xuan Fei, and the others saw that the one emerging from the teleportation array was actually Shi Yan, they were all profoundly shaken, their faces registering disbelief. Blood Demon, Lin Xin, Feng Han, and the others, however, clearly breathed a sigh of relief, their faces alight with genuine smiles.

“It has been a while,” Shi Yan offered a faint smile, nodding toward Sean, Yu Shan, Xuan Fei, and the crowd. “What is the situation now?” “Are you truly the new Sovereign of Bloodthirsty?” Yu Nan looked highly skeptical.

Many members of the ‘God-Ruler Alliance’ also showed confused expressions, all looking deeply at him. How could the new Sovereign of Bloodthirsty have such a low cultivation base, inferior even to Blood Demon?

Shi Yan, at the Second Heaven of the Primal God realm, did not seem to them sufficient to alter the situation in the Fiery Rain Star Domain. “Gui Liao!” As the light of the teleportation array faded, Gu Mo couldn't help but exclaim, her bright eyes shimmering with captivating luster.

Bas and Gute, after a moment of surprise, were both horrified and moved, staring intently at Gui Liao. After the Celestial Demon Race established a foothold in the Celestial Demon Mountain Range on M'Aria Star, Gui Liao had been taken away by the Celestial Demon Ancestor, the Azure Dragon.

Gute hadn't seen Gui Liao in a long time, and now seeing him, he suddenly realized Gui Liao had reached the Mid-Stage of Level Thirteen. His spirit was struck with terror.

Gui Liao’s current power level was now equivalent to his own. Based on his understanding of Gui Liao’s might, he knew that in a true decisive battle, he might find it difficult to match Gui Liao.

Others might not know how formidable Gui Liao was, but Gute was perfectly aware. He knew better than anyone how terrifying Gui Liao could become when driven mad.

He had witnessed it himself… It was that very discovery that had led him to recruit Gui Liao without hesitation, entrusting him with significant responsibilities, grooming him to become the future Patriarch of the Tyrannosaur Race. Alas, Gui Liao’s future was clearly much broader; the mere Tyrannosaur Race could not contain him, a fact evident from the cultivation bestowed by the Celestial Demon Ancestor, the Azure Dragon.

Gui Liao stood beside Shi Yan, cold as a frozen blade, indifferent to everything. In terms of aura, physical presence, or the sheer ferocity of his power, he was no weaker than Shi Yan.

His grim, unsmiling coldness, the hidden, bloodthirsty cruelty rooted deep within his bones—one glance was enough to reveal his terror. Even Yu Nan and many of the ‘God-Ruler Alliance’ members felt a chill run through them when they looked at him, possessing an instinctual fear and unease, as if facing a primeval fierce beast.

This feeling stirred them inwardly, causing their expressions toward Gui Liao to grow grave. Conversely, Shi Yan exerted no obvious pressure upon their senses.

If not for the title of the Bloodthirsty Sovereign, he might not have been given so much attention. They were unaware that after the battles against the Bright King of the Thunder Roar Star Domain and Dicaro, Shi Yan’s perspective and understanding had greatly improved, elevating his comprehension of his own Soul of Essence to an entirely new height.

He could completely mask his ferocity. Now, with his aura deliberately concealed, he appeared utterly unremarkable.

This was something Gui Liao could not attain. The experts of the Fiery Rain Star Domain sensed a massive threat emanating from Gui Liao, viewing him with extreme seriousness.

But they soon noticed that after Gui Liao appeared, his inherent arrogance and coldness remained absolute. Apart from a brief nod toward Gute of the Tyrannosaur Race, he paid no attention to anyone else.

He even ignored Gu Mo. He merely stood behind Shi Yan, like a block of chilling, cold ice, projecting an aura that strongly warned others to keep their distance.

This made Yu Nan pause, and she couldn't help but study Shi Yan more closely. Her insight was exceptional; she could tell from Gui Liao’s positioning that Gui Liao deferred entirely to Shi Yan.

Through this, Yu Nan understood that the new Sovereign of Bloodthirsty was worthy of his title, naturally possessing powerful subordinates. “What is the situation!” Shi Yan demanded with evident impatience.

Yu Shan stepped forward and quickly reported, “The situation is dire. The Brockel Family and the Austinus Family inflicted heavy casualties upon us in the recent battle.

We are currently confined to the Hexagonal Star Land. Right now, the Brockel Family and the Austinus Family are likely waiting for the deadly artifacts capable of shattering the Hexagonal Star Land’s numerous barriers and restrictions to arrive.

I fear…” “The battle should not be fought here,” Shi Yan narrowed his eyes, looking toward the dark expanse of the stellar sea ahead. “Go out of the Hexagonal Star Land and fight those Brockel and Austinus Families in the stellar sea.

Retreating passively will not bring you victory.” The warriors from the M'Aria Star Domain, including Blood Demon, Xia Xinyan, and the others, looked puzzled upon hearing this and remained silent. They felt it was unwise.

They had clashed with the God Race several times, ending in utter defeat each time. They knew how terrifying the God Race was, which was precisely why they had retreated into the Hexagonal Star Land and refused to leave.

Yet, they were also aware that Shi Yan had repeatedly created miracles. Thus, even though they sensed trouble, they did not voice much opposition.

However, the experts of the ‘God-Ruler Alliance’ saw things differently. One martial artist, who had reached the Second Heaven of the Primal God realm and cultivated the Earth’s Profound Truth, frowned slightly in anger and sharply rebuked, “To fight outside now would be to walk blindly to our deaths.

You have no idea how powerful the God Race is.” His words voiced the sentiments of many ‘God-Ruler Alliance’ warriors; they had suffered great losses at the hands of the God Race over the years. But despite his dissatisfaction, he restrained his emotions greatly, because Shi Yan was the new Sovereign of Bloodthirsty, representing the supreme overlord status of the strongest force in the stellar sea.

He dared not show too much displeasure. “I have not fought the God Race many times, but those who have clashed with me were all the true top-tier powerhouses of the God Race,” Shi Yan frowned, saying little more.

He looked toward the distant river of stars, secretly circulating his Profound Truths. Before them, the stellar river seemed to suddenly warp and tremble.

In the void before him, a spiraling void passage rapidly solidified, taking shape, and then connecting! With his current cultivation at the Second Heaven of the Primal God realm, and his comprehension of the Space Profound Truth, although he could not tear open the stellar domain barrier with a single thought to traverse different star domains, condensing an instantaneous spatial bridge for teleportation within the same domain was effortless.

Once the void passage was formed, Shi Yan turned back to the experts of the M'Aria Star Domain. “Come out and fight with me.” With that, without waiting for the martial artists of the Fiery Rain Star Domain to respond, he traversed the bridge.

Blood Demon, Feng Han, Lin Xin, Xia Xinyan, Bas, Gute, and even Yan Chi, Bing Jie, and the others, offered no objection. They issued their orders almost simultaneously.

Thus, the numerous experts of the Fiery Rain Star Domain watched helplessly as those powerful figures traversed the void passage formed out of thin air one after another, exiting the long-besieged Hexagonal Star Land, charging into the heavy defensive perimeter of the Brockel and Austinus Families in a manner that seemed utterly indifferent to death. “This…” Yu Nan was stunned, frozen speechless, unsure how to proceed.

“That man can create miracles. As the Sovereign of the Bloodthirsty lineage, his terrifying might is far beyond our ability to measure,” Sean mused for a few seconds, sincerely advising Yu Nan.

“Follow him out. He is certainly not someone who acts rashly; he must have thorough calculations!” “Auntie, this person cannot be judged by conventional standards!” Yu Shan also urged.

Yu Nan and those warriors from the Fiery Rain Star Domain all frowned deeply, hesitant. Once they left the Hexagonal Star Land, they would immediately face the God Race head-on.

No one could guarantee their safe return. This was betting the fate of the Fiery Rain Star Domain.

If they won, they won. If they lost, their years of steadfast defense would be reduced to ash.

Yu Nan dared not decide lightly. She looked toward the crowd.

“What does everyone think?” The leaders of the various factions all wore heavy expressions; not a single one dared to state an opinion, unwilling to stake the future of their star domain. “We have to send some people.

You… think carefully,” seeing the void passage gradually closing, Yu Shan’s expression hardened, and she suddenly turned into a streak of firelight and rushed through. “Master!” Xuan Fei cried out softly and also plunged through.

The next moment, Sean and the numerous warriors from the Fiery Rain Star Domain who followed Benny’s orders, disregarded the instructions of some family leaders present, and one by one, swiftly passed through the void passage, vanishing before their eyes. These people had once been trained in the M'Aria Star Domain.

Tempered meticulously by Benny, they were now the most elite and formidable force in the Fiery Rain Star Domain, truly capable of contending with the God Race. They represented the future of the Fiery Rain Star Domain.

Through countless bloody battles, they had come to regard Benny as their supreme leader, wholeheartedly devoted, and willing to fight for him to the death. Seeing them all rush through, Yu Nan’s face turned ashen, and she commanded, “All battleships deploy!

Charge out of the Hexagonal Star Land! Whether we fight or not, this battle has been forced upon us!” “Damn it!” Those who were initially reluctant, upon hearing Yu Nan’s words, realized they had no choice and issued their orders one after another.

“All battleships and war vehicles mobilize! Rendezvous with those M'Aria Star Domain warriors!

This battle will result in either a hard-won victory or utter annihilation!” In an instant, bright, metallic battleships, like submerged dragons bursting from the abyss, pierced through the heavy barriers of the Hexagonal Star Land. They reached the vast stellar sea outside.

On a dark-blue, icy asteroid forming the outer layer of the Hexagonal Star Land, Shi Yan gazed forward. Ahead lay several thousand of the God Race’s ‘Submersible God Ships.’ These ships were crafted from special stealth wood, allowing them to maintain an invisible state while navigating the stellar sea.

It wasn't true invisibility, but from a slight distance, sight and divine sense struggled to perceive them. The God Race often achieved remarkable success by using ‘Submersible God Ships’ to invade various star domains, inflicting heavy damage before the enemy realized what was happening.

However, in Shi Yan’s current vision, those ‘Submersible God Ships’ held no stealth effect; he saw them clearly. In the Thunder Roar Star Domain, his life and divine body had undergone sublimation, allowing him to internalize the Thunder Roar Star Domain, to see its entire structure.

Similarly, the moment he stepped into the Fiery Rain Star Domain, he had imprinted this domain in his mind, enabling him to perceive every corner of it, like the Lord of a Star Domain. This sensation was profoundly mysterious, hard to attribute solely to a breakthrough in Stellar Profound Truth or a sudden shift in Spatial Profound Truth.

But now, he felt a sense of ownership over the star domain, and all the God Race’s arrangements within the Fiery Rain Star Domain manifested in his mind like blueprints. “There are God Race Submersible God Ships ahead.

They are the God Race’s contingency plan, preparing to breach the Hexagonal Star Land, open the passages here, and set a trap to lure the Fiery Rain Star Domain forces into this direction,” Shi Yan’s expression sobered. “Charge deeper.

Many natural storms inside have not been properly utilized yet. By the time we approach, those terrifying storms formed naturally in the stellar sea will activate, causing the Submersible God Ships to detonate and fall into chaos.

We can use that moment when they are preoccupied to suddenly strike.” The faces of the group were greatly shocked; they looked at him in disbelief. Benny asked, “Master, you can actually perceive things that intricately and profoundly?” This was the question everyone wanted to ask.

“It is difficult to explain clearly, but since entering the Fiery Rain Star Domain, I can perceive every slightly larger disturbance within this domain in my heart,” Shi Yan said, lost in thought. The others were awestruck.
