Star Sky Professional

Da Xia Universe.

A dark region.

Fang Xing brought New Blue Star here for temporary respite.

After all… having just killed an insectoid presence of Dao Master Realm, one must guard against retaliation from them.

Facing that 'Civilization Elegist', he can escape, but certainly can't win.

In the Void Universe, Fang Xing hadn't provided a definite answer on whether to join the war.

Even so, he had gained a lot.

Moreover, he acquired detailed intelligence on the 'Civilization Elegist'.

"The opponent's Dao is very peculiar, related to universe strings… plucking the strings of the universe to sing a funeral ode for civilizations? No wonder they are called 'Civilization Elegist'..."

Obviously, in front of a Dao Master Realm being capable of using universe strings as a weapon, physical constants can be modified or even rendered inconsequential as playthings.

For the tech-side Starry Sky Fleet, it's a catastrophic strike!

'Only because the core part of the forbidden weapon comes from Transcendence Inheritance can it somewhat exempt from such a strike, allowing Star Sky Civilization the courage to make a plan…'

'Counterattack?'

Fang Xing doesn't see it optimistically nor pessimistically, it's fifty-fifty.

A Peak Civilization surely has hidden cards, and with Star Sky and Exotic Beast Civilization deciding to join forces in a counterattack, indeed there is certain hope.

"Don't overestimate yourself, without me, life and civilization will find their own way…"

"If I can't reach Four Steps Dao Master this time, there's no need to join the war."

Inside the metal palace, Fang Xing's face remained emotionless as he comprehended various side Daos such as the Dao of Life.

After a moment, he opened the 'No Void Ring' and took out a 'Deer Call Fruit'.

Amid the sound of deer calls, he finished eating this Spirit Fruit within a few bites.

Layers of the void parted, within the Tao Origin Layer, the Dao of Panwu stood majestic like a dragon, with a hint of distortion at the core, precisely his Dao Seed.

This Dao Seed is where his True Spirit resides, radiating the whole Dao with a single point of power.

At this moment, along with Fang Xing's cultivation, the Dao Seed continued to sink, ever deeper…

On the attribute panel, a flash of light:

[Fourteenth Realm: Dao Master (Second Step: 88/100)]

The proficiency slowly increased, soon breaking through 90.

Then, 91, 95, 97…

Ultimately reaching 100/100!

The symbols on the icon blurred, then transformed into:

[Fourteenth Realm: Dao Master (Third Step: 1/100)]

...

"Breakthrough achieved."

Fang Xing's heart moved, feeling his True Spirit-infused Dao Seed plunging deeper within the Dao of Panwu.

Manipulating the Power of Dao became increasingly adept.

"Three Steps Dao Master… even in the True Immortal Realm, such beings are scarce, akin to the level of Free Dao Lords, barely capable of taking charge of the Dao Court…"

"Moreover…"

Fang Xing stretched out his hand, and the Innate Spiritual Treasure 'Heaven-Opening Axe' appeared in his palm.

He silently closed his eyes, and the 'Heaven-Opening Axe' transformed into a stream of light, entering his brow's mud-pellet center.

Within the Dao of Panwu, the Dao Seed released wisps of profound Qi.

By refining the origin of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Dao Seed can transform from postnatal to innate, upgrading to 'Innate Panwu Dao Seed'!

In other words, breakthrough to become Four Steps Dao Lord!

Although there are strengths and weaknesses among the Fourteenth Realm levels, even if Four Steps Dao Lords stand at the peak of Fourteenth Realm, combat power can vary depending on the Dao.

But at least, the Innate Panwu Dao is enough to battle the 'Civilization Elegist'.

After all, they're also just Dao Master Realm.

"Let's hope it can make it before the war…"

"If not… then so be it, I'll avenge Star Sky Civilization later…"

"In any case, given the scale of Star Sky Civilization, they must have long arranged numerous contingents and Flames…"

Fang Xing's Divine Thought stirred, entering a deeper cultivation state.

...

Insectoid Territory.

A factory-type planet.

Boom!

A dazzling explosion emerged, causing the entire planet to instantly turn to dust.

Whiz whiz!

With a warning from the psychic network, insectoid Dharma Masters skilled in Space Law instantaneously teleported to the scene.

"It's the human clan's Dharma Master squad!"

"Kill them all!"

"They actually destroyed our 'Insect Breeding Pool'…"

Fragments of spiritual conversations resonated, leading to several massive, distorted figures pursuing into the depths of the universe…

Several hours later.

Boom!

A spacecraft exploded in an instant, revealing masses of debris.

"Damn..."

Xiao gazed at the insectoid before him, his expression dark: "Fourth Rank Dharma Master?"

"Intruder, face your demise!"

The opposing insectoid's compound eyes were filled with hatred, wielding its blade-like arms.

Crunch!

A fine black line seemed to cut through the void but was intercepted midway by a vast palace, the 'Primordial Nightmare Palace'!

"Kui Lan? Thank you..."

Xiao felt a force of void teleportation, and he found himself in the Primordial Nightmare Palace, seeing an old friend from bygone years. He couldn't help but smile, "Since you went to the Exotic Beast civilization, I never thought we'd have a day to fight side by side..."

"Indeed, but we're all just pawns for those above us... always executing the most dangerous missions."

Kui Lan let out a cold chuckle, "Entering the Insectoid territory, infiltrating and causing destruction... heh, if it weren't for me, you'd already be dead..."

At this moment, in the outside world, the Primordial Nightmare Demon Palace was transforming into a stream of light, desperately fleeing into the depths of the universe under the violent bombardment of the Insectoid Dharma Masters.

Xiao was startled for a moment, then shook his head, "No matter how you put it, I am a member of the Human Clan... and now, the Human Clan's territory is even more unsafe..."

"I knew you'd say that, let's join forces!"

Kui Lan said, "The two of us together might just be able to survive..."

...

Like teams led by Kui Lan and Xiao, many were also dispatched by the Star Sky Civilization and the Exotic Beast Civilization.

The main goal is to stall the Insectoid army, even mobilizing and dispersing their forces.

As for these Dharma Masters? They are, in fact, just cannon fodder.

However, as long as they can be resurrected, and if this war ends in final victory, those existing at the Eternal Realm on both sides will surely resurrect these Dharma Masters in the future.

At this moment, with the Star Sky Civilization resolving to fight, almost the entire territorial region of the Human Clan was mobilized.

Various trump cards and war weapons emerged one after another, making the head Insectoid Dharma Masters and even the Dao Master Realm Great Matriarchs struggle to keep up.

...

"Report... traces of the 'Civilization Eulogist' have been found. The entity arrived in the Dark Red Civilization three hours and twenty-seven minutes ago, slaughtering all the Dark Red Clan within the territory..."

Inside a strange golden pyramid, a human astronaut loudly reported.

"After that, a high-energy reaction occurred in that area, and the Civilization Eulogist's whereabouts became unknown..."

"At that time, information was received indicating that an Insectoid Great Matriarch had fallen..."

"The entity's next likely destination is the Ophiuchus Wormhole!"

The Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Swords' eyes lit up, "Set out immediately, target... Ophiuchus Civilization!"

Whoosh!

The enormous pyramid roared.

Space was subtly distorted, and intangible spatial ripples enveloped the entire pyramid.

When the pyramid reappeared, it had arrived in the domain of the Ophiuchus Civilization.

In the cosmic vacuum, sound is typically difficult to convey, but at this moment... the whole universe seemed to be singing a funeral song.

Grief, mourning...

An indescribable emotion impacted every warrior of the Star Sky Civilization, even making them feel a compulsion to cry.

"Is it the funeral song of a civilization?"

"Has the Ophiuchus Civilization already perished?"

The Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Swords roared, "Immediately scan the surroundings using the highest-grade radar... Also, inform our people via quantum entanglement communication to begin preparations... ready for time-space leap at any moment!"

"Once the existence of the 'Civilization Eulogist' is confirmed, ignite the battle immediately!"

"Yes!"

One by one, the staff members frantically set to work.

On closer inspection, they turned out to be Dharma Masters as well.

Below the rank of Dharma Master, they might very well be overwhelmed to the point of explosion by the mobilization of star systems and military movements from the Peak Civilizations...

Let alone the fact that among them were some 'forbidden beings,' whose very names carried a certain power!

"The 'Civilization Eulogist' has been locked on!"

On a large screen, the image of the Civilization Eulogist appeared.

Human-like in appearance, clad in green armor, with antennae on the forehead... more astonishingly, it held a small bouquet of white flowers in its hand, as if it was genuinely there to pay respects.

This Civilization Eulogist, holding white flowers, arrived before a civilization gravestone of its own making.

Before it could utter a word, an unexpected change occurred!

Swish!

In the next instant, one pyramid after another materialized around the Civilization Eulogist.

At the top of each pyramid, strange lights shimmered, vaguely seeming to seal off this area of the universe.

"The human time-space fleet?"

Witnessing this scene, the Civilization Eulogist's eyes suddenly brightened, "So, you are the main force of the Star Sky Civilization?"

The time-space fleet could instantaneously teleport, of course, because this fleet was not only battle-ready but also each fleet captain was a Dharma Master of the highest rank!

Not to mention, these captains held the 'Time-Space Ripper' profession.

They could teleport void without the need for a wormhole, arriving instantly!

"Attack!"

The Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Swords stepped outside, gently raising his hand.

The entire universe's concept of 'sword' went into turmoil, all the sword-shaped weapons raged, seemingly in a cry and roar...

Simultaneously, the strange light from the pyramid tops descended, enveloping the Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Swords like armor.

Clang!

Meanwhile, at some unknown point, a harp appeared in the hand of the Civilization Eulogist.

He sat cross-legged in the void, lightly plucking it with his right hand.

The mysterious cosmic strings were stirred, invisible ripples swept through the time-space fleet, altering one physical constant after another...

Using the strings of the universe as weapons to attack!

This is the specialty of the Civilization Eulogist!

...

Simultaneously, in the depths of the universe.

"Han Sen, Old Exotic Beast!"

Two cries filled with emotion echoed out.

Han Sen held a ragged array map in his hands, focused intently on its surface, "This foundation is already deteriorated to the extreme, usable only once... we must achieve our goal within the time limit, or it will be quite troublesome."

"Don't worry!"

The original Exotic Beast was of an enormous size, with two protruding tusks, resembling a golden lion and tiger, yet it was larger than a Life Planet. Hearing this, it let out a roar...
