Sky-cracking Rider

Boom!~

Chen Fei didn't even blink as Old Party appeared behind him, thrusting his long knives fiercely into the head of the Star Perch, which had suddenly broken free from the root bindings, its ferocity unleashed, ready to devour anything in its path. The raging Battle Qi surged into its massive skull like a tidal wave, churning everything inside into a pulp.

When the King Species detached from the Star Perch's head, the gaping wound rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it lost its Parasite, it unexpectedly awakened its own consciousness, or perhaps, it never had independent consciousness at all, possessing only instincts embedded in its DNA.

"Damn!"

The S-Class Space Ability User was dumbstruck.

This space creature turned out to be a savage beast; once out of the Parasite's control, it became even more ferocious.

Chen Fei said with a calm expression, "There's nothing to worry about!"

"That guy could chomp your head off in one bite!"

Miyoshi Xuesen trembled all over, fingering his prayer beads.

The fanged maw was less than two meters from Chen Fei's head. With the ability to travel hundreds of kilometers instantaneously in the void, its speed, even though greatly restricted in the atmospheric environment, would still not slow down significantly.

If it hadn't been for the timely intervention of the Earth Element Warrior, that space creature could have bitten off all their heads in an instant.

"This is my territory, I call the shots!"

Chen Fei shook his finger, and the roots beneath the grass started reaching up one by one, dragging the Star Perch into the turf below, turning it into nutrients.

In no time at all, not even a sliver of bone would be left of this space creature. Organic matter is a precious resource for the Sagali civilization, and an enrichment for the Life Tree too. Adding a bit of minerals would make it even more perfect.

"This doesn't mean anything! Huh?"

The S-Class Space Ability User, Heseman Brown, was about to activate Space Transmission to prove his point, but suddenly found his Psi Skill had no reaction whatsoever.

He then looked at Chen Fei with uncertainty.

"Did you restrict my Psi Skill?"

"Of course, and yours too!"

Chen Fei pointed a finger, and a pile of people rolled out from beneath Miyoshi Monk's feet, all his ninja squads popped out.

"What about me!"

Dang Wei Jun had just finished speaking when his rising Battle Qi Flame instantly dissipated.

"There's no exception; my territory, I call the shots!"

Chen Fei clenched his fist tightly.

The Seed Nest McKenny once restricted one of Heseman Brown's Psi Skills, the Space-Time Seed, and now he could as well.

The Life Tree is growing, just as pre-set, with various functions and abilities constantly emerging, and the unexpected surprises linked to Chen Fei are just the same.

"A Heavenly Order's Rule Domain?!"

Dang Wei Jun had some speculation in his mind but still found it hard to believe. A Heavenly Sovereign possesses the authority to manipulate rules and can form their own domain. Of course, the size of the domain varies from person to person, but within the domain, as Chen Fei declared, my territory, I call the shots; the home advantage is nearly overwhelming.

However, his Earth Element Battle Qi was undeniably suppressed, which isn't something an ordinary B-Class Ability User could achieve; it truly is a bit terrifying.

"Similar to a domain, but limited to this place only."

Chen Fei did not deny it, although this domain is powerful, it is external and does not come from himself, and therefore has significant limitations; it cannot be moved, nor can it be brought out of the Boundary Pearl's Life Space.

The Star Perch suddenly erupted; even without the Earth Element Warrior Dang Wei Jun killing it instantly, it posed no threat to him.

This method is difficult to use at will; after all, dragging opponents into Life Space is not easy, at least they must be willing or lose their resistance consciousness.

If the Star Perch, together with the Parasite inside, remained alert, Chen Fei would have no way to drag it into the Boundary Pearl to have his way with it...

Therefore, relying on the Life Tree's Domain to crush everything is pure fantasy, as it's not truly his own.

Heseman Brown, not without regret, said, "What a pity!"

The Barrier's diameter is over ten kilometers, with many Biological Space Motherships being less than ten kilometers long. If it could be brought in, relying on the suppression within such a domain, it would indeed be the butcher and they the meat on the chopping block.

Of course, with this leisure, two Element Annihilation Bombs would be enough to settle everything.

"Can the Life Tree hatch Star Perches now? Honestly, this creature's combat power is pretty strong!"

Miyoshi Xuesen keenly noticed the military value of the Star Perch. Three Attack Ships, twelve Tactical Jets, and one Mechanical Dragon failed to capture this space creature. It took the element of time and atmospheric advantage of the asteroid to turn the tide in their favor finally.

The Star Perch's combat power far exceeds those Biological Combat Weapons released by the Biological Space Motherships. If mass hatching becomes possible, it might surprise the Sagali civilization.

"Of course it can!"

Chen Fei extended his hand towards a large tree not far away.

A fruit in the tree crown visibly swelled rapidly, then dropped.

With a thud, it cracked into eight pieces upon hitting the grass, from which a more than one-meter-long juvenile Star Perch emerged. A few seconds later, it relied on instinct to control gravity, elevating its triangular body a few meters off the ground, glancing around confusedly before soon spotting its target—a calf leisurely munching on grass. Opening its fanged mouth wide, it lunged ferociously, directly swallowing the calf whole.

Its upper and lower jaws parted like a snake's. All that could be heard were the pitiful mooing cries of the calf as its body was crushed and reshaped, swallowed down its throat alive, the sound of bones breaking crackling continuously like firecrackers. The juvenile Star Perch's body noticeably swelled significantly, vividly red blood gushing out from between its teeth unreservedly.

Meanwhile, its triangular body was quickly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding to a meter and a half long within a few breaths, its diameter increasing fourfold.

It seemed unsatisfied as the "Star Perch" fixed its gaze on Chen Fei and the others, charging towards them without hesitation.

"'Isolation'!"

The S-Class Space Ability User finally didn't miss the opportunity this time. With a light shout, everyone was enveloped in the Psi Skill "Isolation," a formless barrier that couldn't be broken with mere physical force, not even by a nearby nuclear explosion.

However, the "Star Perch" that had just grown stopped dead twenty meters outside the "Isolation" barrier, as if caught in a Paralysis Spell, maintaining its charging posture without moving.

"Oh? Did you control it?"

Heseman Brown noticed this anomaly and looked at Chen Fei.

"Jiang Shan Yi Gai, Ben Xing Nan Yi." (A leopard never changes its spots.)

Chen Fei shook his head. This verification result was not beyond his expectation. Even the Parasites need to use parasitic means to control this space creature. Thinking of making it obedient through self-hatching was simply wishful thinking.

The "Star Perch" wasn't some small cat or dog, piglet or lamb; it was inherently rebellious, how could it ever recognize a master.

"Can't control it?"

Miyoshi Xuesen could only give up after seeing this.

Species that breed and thrive in harsh environments aren't ever well-behaved babies.

"I'm not 'Sagali,' and I don't have the skills of a Beast Tamer, it's impossible."

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders and gestured at the "Star Perch" suspended in mid-air. A ripping sound like tearing paper was heard, as the scale armor that even bullets couldn't penetrate, along with the flesh and bones beneath, were instantly torn to pieces. The "Star Perch" was shredded to dozens of pieces on the spot, with its flesh and remnants clattering to the grass below.

The lush grass shook violently, quickly swallowing up this flesh and blood entirely, resources were instantly recycled, either way, the meat rotted in the "pot," so this wave wasn't at a loss.

"Holy crap!"

Miyoshi Xuesen looked fearfully at the grass below, no longer something to be trampled upon, but rather a devil capable of devouring humans.

S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown said, "There are supernatural power users with Beast Taming Skills on Blue Star, maybe we could give it a try!"

"Is it reliable? Can we bring them in? Can they really do it?"

Chen Fei's series of questions made Heseman Brown hesitate.

The value of a mere "Star Perch" was insignificant compared to the entire "Boundary Pearl" Life Space.

Exposing the entire Life Space just to control the "Star Perch" was too unwise, especially since it would involve larger interests.

"Better... better forget it!"

Mr. Brown ultimately chose to abandon it. After all, he didn't know any reliable supernatural power users with Beast Taming Psi Skills, and there were no lower-level ones below S-Class, it was too difficult, too high a challenge coefficient, and very easy to get himself into trouble, completely not worthwhile.

"Then let's go back to the original plan, clean up the mess first."

Chen Fei and the others got ready, directly leaving the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space and returning to the asteroid.

The pit from the "Star Perch" fall was still there, with bluish smoke curling from the depths, its intense heat had completely cooled down, and the minus 113 degrees Celsius environment temperature quickly stripped away all the warmth.

In the atmosphere here, there was almost no separate oxygen component, most of the oxygen was precipitated within the stellar body in compound form.

After stripping the Energy Tower and resupplying munitions, the Attack Ship was re-collected into Chen Fei's "Spatial Branding." Outside the asteroid's atmosphere, other combat units arrived just in time and were collected in turn.

Once again tidied up the fragmented Space Observatory No. 11, it was repaired and repositioned with the other eleven space observatories.

This time, thankfully, no second "Star Perch" appeared, otherwise the plan to explore the lair of the "Sagali" civilization would have been dashed.

Without detailed and complete space probe information, it's difficult to locate the hiding places of these Parasites in the vast cosmic void.

In their entanglement with the "Star Perch," the previous eleven space observatories had already collected a batch of data, mainly optical images, and Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" started its initial processing. However, relying solely on Artificial Intelligence AI probably won't complete all processing tasks, in the end, it will still rely on humans to ensure that no suspicious spots are missed in recognition.

Just as it happens, there's a decent population in "Atlantis" now; people can take on tasks in their spare time and earn some pocket money, and subcontractors are available for the Sovereigns, plenty of people can engage in this boring and tedious work.

After leaving a "Space-Time Seed" on the previously thick-atmosphered asteroid and Space Observatory No. 6, the small flying ship carrying Chen Fei and others directly transferred back to Xiya Planet.

The original temporary base mysteriously disappeared, leaving a trench spanning several kilometers, over one kilometer wide, and more than four hundred meters deep on the ground, one position of which was the temporary base's location.

"Where's the base?"

"Where is this place?"

"Did we transfer to the wrong place?"

The familiar "Skylight" dome was nowhere in sight, leaving the people on the small flying ship collectively bewildered.

"This is precisely the temporary base's location."

Checking the satellite positioning data, Chen Fei didn't make a mistake.

Outside Xiya Planet's atmosphere, a synchronous orbit satellite was also missing, precisely above the vanished temporary base, but although this signal relay satellite was gone, its function was quickly replaced by other orbital satellites.

Data transmitted by the Airship Battle Group outside the atmosphere uncovered the truth of the temporary base's disappearance.

When the gods fight, the little devils suffer.

Space behemoths battled, and the temporary base was effortlessly obliterated in an instant.
