Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The sun hung high in the sky, but the space between heaven and earth was dim, as the descending sunlight was mostly blocked by swarms of battleships, casting only mottled shadows.

Thoughts raced through Chu Zheng's mind. With such a large number of battleships appearing here, it was definitely not for the purpose of conquering this single star.

The grand moves of the Tianyao Federation were easy to understand with a little thought.

This was the battlefield, and had the Tianyao Federation provoked Zhao Tingxian?!

Watching the many battleships slicing through the atmospheric layers, wrapped in blazing flames and rushing through space, a thunderous roar echoed in Chu Zheng's mind, weighing down his heart.

He had intended to stay out of it, but now he found himself caught in the eye of the storm.

No matter how prepared he was, he hadn't imagined that the Tianyao Federation would actually go to war with Zhao Tingxian at this moment.

Soon, a patrol ship broke away from the group of battleships and headed straight for the valley where Chu Zheng was, clearly having detected the patrol ship beneath Chu Zheng's feet.

All being products of the Tianyao Federation, detection capabilities were only to be expected.

Nie Longhu also sensed the external anomalies and came to Chu Zheng's side.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, let's take cover for a moment."

Quickly, Chu Zheng made a decision, pulling Nie Longhu along as he cast the Invisibility Technique and left the valley.

Between Zhao Tingxian and the Tianyao Federation, it was hardly a choice for Chu Zheng.

In this battle, the Tianyao Federation had no chance of victory. An existence as powerful as an Immortal Venerable simply couldn't be countered by even the most advanced technology of Seventh Order.

Even if the Tianyao Federation possessed some secret weapons capable of rivaling a True Immortal, they would still be as trivial as roadside weeds before an Immortal Venerable, easily uprooted.

"The connection between the Incense Spirituality and the divine statues is quite close; the deity controlling this star will soon notice these battleships and is likely to respond."

Nie Longhu's thoughts were in perfect accord with Chu Zheng's.

Once the deity reacted, the invading battleships were doomed; the Incense Spirituality would not allow anyone to touch its devotees.

Watching the battleships above, Chu Zheng had already begun planning his next move.

Now that enough Star Origin Liquid had been accumulated, once these battleships were cleared out, he could easily collect some wreckage to repair a battleship and leave this troubled place to find a new refuge.

...

...

In a blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Masses of armored federation elites disembarked from the battleships, beginning to suppress the remaining resistant forces on this star.

With their armor, the natives of this star had no chance to retaliate; their hastily organized counter-attacks were swiftly exterminated.

But the fervent devotees of the Incense Spirituality couldn't be subdued by force alone. Many faithful began flocking to the temples, forming defensive lines and resisting step by step.

Around the star, ninety-nine temples in total, the majority of devotees gathered at these temples, their resonant voices invoking the heavens, calling upon the title of the 'Yin Yang Xuan Ling Demonic Sanctioning Great Holy Celestial' for protection.

The already substantial willingness began to swell dramatically, flowing into the divine statues. The ninety-nine statues gradually took on a jade-like luster, shimmering with spiritual brilliance.

The areas around the temples were crammed with devotees, none of whom surrendered but continued to resist fiercely, like moths to flames, fighting against a terrifying web of advanced weaponry with their flesh and blood.

Facing an overwhelming barrage of fire, this was less a war than a one-sided massacre.

None of the elite federal forces hesitated or retreated; they kept advancing, fingers tightly squeezed on triggers, never relaxing for a moment.

This was routine for them; as long as these natives didn't lay down their arms and surrender completely, the war would continue.

Interstellar wars are often bloody and brutal. The Tianyao Federation's rapid rise was tightly linked to its relentless plundering.

Thousands of years of brilliant glory were built upon the ruins of many Life Stars and piles upon piles of bones.

In the distant mountains, Chu Zheng's gaze was fixed on the temples, his expression fluctuating.

Zhao Tingxian had not made a move; the temples remained deathly still, emitting no signs of activity.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

"Something's not right."

Seeing this, Nie Longhu also furrowed his brow; so much time had passed, and with the massive deaths of the devotees, it was logical that the deity would have reacted by now, but still, there was silence.

With each breath, countless devotees were crushed into blood mud by the war machines, yet the resistance never ceased.

Atop the divine altar, the divine statue's radiance grew stronger; nourished by the heavy willingness, it displayed various divine phenomena, but none had yet taken action.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng took a deep breath and dispelled his Invisibility Technique.

Before Nie Longhu could react, Chu Zheng had already boldly made his move.

Inside his Dantian, the Six Orifice Golden Core circulated massive amounts of Jade Liquid, bursting forth with mountain-moving power.

Wrapped in golden light, a giant hand spanned the heavens, lifting off the dome of the temple. The majestically robed divine statue was exposed under the harsh sun, appearing momentarily like a corporeal body.

Following this was a thunderous shout:

"Where is Zhao Tingxian?!"

The terrifing wave of sound swept through heaven and earth, causing ripples in the void, echoing to the Nine Heavens.

Such a one-sided slaughter was something Chu Zheng could not simply watch; moreover, since this was merely an incarnation, he could bear any consequences.
