Chapter 1064: A Test of Skill

“A Black Hole Immortal Lord? ”

“The power of spacetime? ”

“It's actually the power of spacetime? ”

When Fang Xi saw the Red Giant Immortal, his heart felt little ripple of emotion.

After all, the Blazing Sun Immortal from back then could control the sun star within a minor thousand world and forge an immortal artifact.

And the third mate of the Super Beast Pirate Gang opposite him—"Starburst" You Mi Er—though his aura was immense, he was still just an Immortal.

As for a "Neutron Star Immortal"? It gave him the feeling of someone who had broken through to the Immortal realm via body cultivation techniques. Although their combat strength was formidable and their bodies unimaginably solid, they were at most equivalent to an Immortal at the fourth step of He Dao, still confined within a cage.

But the concept of a "Black Hole Immortal" made Fang Xi's eyes light up.

And when he had broken through to become a Dao Monarch of Reincarnation back then, that Spacetime Dao Venerable had been the first to arrive to kill him, long since earning a spot on his kill list.

Time and void combined make "spacetime"!

“It is rumored that Black Hole Immortals possess various incredible powers, capable of creating 'spacetime singularities' and twisting spacetime. . . Wouldn't that allow them to return to the past, or even travel into the future? ”

“What's even more unique is that to achieve this, they don't need any comprehension of laws; they just need to continuously increase their own mass and gravity. . . ”

“Although their comprehension of laws might be a mess, their combat power is probably astonishing! ”

“I wonder if they can contend with a Dao Monarch, or even a Dao Venerable? ”

“Unfortunately, this crew member, in terms of true strength, is merely a fleeting 'Meteor-level' existence, only knowing a title for the Black Hole Immortal Lord and not much more information. . . ”

“Moreover, as a Great Thousand World, and such a unique and powerful one at that, there might very well be existences above the Black Hole Immortal realm. . . ”

“If I can cultivate this path to an extremely profound realm, I might be able to give that Spacetime Dao Venerable a massive surprise! ”

“At this moment, I might as well test the strength of this Red Giant Immortal. . . ”

With that thought, Fang Xi flicked his finger.

In the vastness of space, streaks of five-colored primal chaos immortal light emerged, imbued with innate primogenial magnetic force, suddenly transforming into a purple divine sword.

With a flash of sword light, a purple sword shadow swept past the enormous hand extending from within the crimson red star.

The next moment, that immense, incomparable crimson hand actually severed directly at the wrist!

“Hm? ”

The Red Giant Immortal continuously collapsed inward, revealing the figure of a red-haired pirate.

He had deep-set features, with crimson hair and brows, dressed in a combat suit. His stature was tall, like a bear, and he was none other than the third mate of the Super Beast Pirate Gang—Starburst You Mi Er!

“There’s actually a hidden powerhouse here. Who is it? ”

You Mi Er’s eyes flashed with countless phosphorescent glows. He scanned the area using various high-tech devices, yet he couldn't detect the source of that sword light, which made his expression involuntarily grow more cautious.

The next moment!

A massive mechanical ring appeared outside the Red Giant, from which countless mechanical arms extended.

On it, energy cannons were poised to fire, and there were even magical treasures shaped like crossbow bolts, flying swords, and other weapons. . .

These cannons and flying swords all drew energy from the Red Giant, having already been charged to their limit.

Cultivators who reached the Red Giant Immortal stage no longer needed to worry about artifact refining materials or resource scarcity.

For example, You Mi Er, nicknamed "Starburst," had a terrible temperament and previously enjoyed destroying living planets.

After advancing to the Red Giant Immortal rank, he frequently manipulated his natal star to devour numerous living planets and mineral-rich planets, directly refining the various metals within them and sending them to processing factories to obtain endless resources.

He was also one of the few ruthless individuals with a "Planet Destroyer" rating.

The so-called "Planet Destroyer" rating referred to destroying a planet at the Planetary-level, or destroying a Red Giant when at the Red Giant stage. . . both were considered peak combat strength for their respective stages!

“Since he made a move, it must be to protect that merchant ship! ”

Thinking this, You Mi Er no longer hesitated. Streaks of energy light pillars swept forth, accompanied by countless flying swords, magical treasures, and intelligent robots, intending to engulf that merchant ship. . .

Clang!

In Fang Xi's hand, the primal chaos immortal light continuously condensed, forming a purple flying sword.

He flicked his finger, and upon the purple flying sword, a five-colored radiance suddenly shimmered.

In the cosmos, at some unknown moment, streaks of five-colored aurora appeared, clearly the power of the Five Elements Law being invoked!

The boundless five-colored aurora converged, transforming into five-colored lotus flowers, each with a diameter exceeding a million li, encompassing various parts of space, swallowing all the energy light pillars, flying swords, and robot troops within them.

“Not bad, not bad. . . The previous concept of the 'Sun's True Fire Shield' from the Kyushu World would pale in comparison to this Red Giant Immortal and his mechanical ring. ”

In a flash of time, Fang Xi’s figure appeared before the spaceship.

“Our luck is actually so good? We encountered a cosmic wanderer? Or rather, a powerful one among wanderers? ”

Za Gu’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately had the spaceship send out a signal: “Many thanks for your assistance, esteemed sir. Our ‘Blue Ran Trading Company’ will certainly not forget your kindness. . . ”

“It's actually a cosmic wanderer? ”

On the spaceship, the Zha Kun Zu crew members were also extremely excited: “To be able to wander in the cosmos for so long, they must at least be a great figure above the Planetary-level. . . This esteemed sir can exchange blows with You Mi Er, clearly also a Red Giant Immortal. . . ”

“Indeed, able to take one of my moves. . . ”

You Mi Er’s body continuously shrank, yet the aura emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying.

It seemed that as his body’s density continuously increased, the power he could unleash became even more outrageous.

The Red Giant continuously rotated, seemingly undergoing compression and fusion. . . providing energy for the earth-shattering blow that was to come.

In the end, that entire Red Giant vanished completely, leaving only a massive figure with hair that seemed to be slowly burning, clad in crimson armor, still standing in place.

At this moment, although You Mi Er was countless tens of thousands of times smaller than his previous Red Giant form, the aura around him grew even stronger: “I am the third mate of the Super Beast Pirate Gang, ‘Starburst’ You Mi Er. . . Cosmic wanderer, you may state your name. . . ”

Fang Xi, surrounded by shimmering purple divine light, answered unhurriedly.

There were simply too many extraordinary cultivation paths in the cosmos; the power he displayed was enough to prove everything, and he didn’t need to fabricate any background.

His strength was his best background.

As for his origins, intelligent people would naturally fill in the blanks for him.

In any case, no one should have a wild enough imagination to think of him as a transmigrator.

“So this esteemed sir is named Fang Xi? ”

“Once we return, we must properly spread the esteemed Fang Xi’s prestige. . . ”

The antennae of the Zha Kun Zu members turned vividly red.

Then, Za Gu felt somewhat speechless: “I see you plan to go back and sell this information for a good price, don’t you? A ‘Red Giant Immortal’ would receive preferential treatment no matter which star system they went to. . . ”

“You Mi Er is about to make his move! Quick. . . full speed reverse for the spaceship! ”

He then saw a crimson axe appear in You Mi Er’s hand and immediately shouted.

The sword-shaped spaceship retreated backward continuously, as if fleeing for its life.

“Wanderer Fang Xi! ”

You Mi Er’s hair was like a volcano, burning fiercely: “You are worthy of me unleashing the secret art bestowed by the Captain—Star Devour! ”

He roared, raising the axe high with both hands, and chopped down fiercely.

On the axe blade, boundless light and fire converged, erupting violently and engulfing Fang Xi.

“Fire! ”

Fang Xi muttered, and in the void, countless threads of fire attribute laws appeared, transforming into a crimson law seed.

The boundless flames instantly vanished, leaving behind only terrifying radiance.

“Indeed. . . The Immortals of this world are truly models of 'brute force conquers all', yet they dabble little in laws. . . ”

“However, this Star Devour secret art fuses the power of fire and light laws. . . and with my fire attribute Dao Seed neutralizing it, its power has plummeted by at least half. . . ”

Fang Xi mumbled to himself, then brought his fingers together like a sword, pointing lightly.

Streaks of primordial magnetic divine light spread out.

Cosmic tides converged, boundless energy was highly compressed, transforming into a purple flying sword.

The flying sword roared, and suddenly, sword lights filled the sky, engulfing You Mi Er’s colossal figure.

Za Gu cried out in alarm, looking at the screen on the spaceship: “This isn’t good. . . the energy shield’s power is only at 34% remaining. . . ”

“This is a confrontation between two Red Giant Immortals, we’re too close. . . ”

One by one, the crew members wailed simultaneously.

“Damn it, esteemed Fang Xi is attacking again! Immediately activate reserve energy, retreat, retreat. . . ”

Za Gu looked out and saw streaks of purple light flowing like a long river, winding through the cosmos.

This kind of incredibly dazzling yet exquisitely subtle attack was rarely seen from ordinary Red Giant Immortals.

“The cosmos is vast and boundless. Even among Immortals, there are numerous schools of thought. . . such as Mechanists, Warriors, Energy Masters, and so on. . . ”

“It seems this cosmic wanderer follows a unique path. . . perhaps even one he created himself. ”

Za Gu mumbled to himself.

Cosmic Immortals possessed incredibly diverse methods. Some Immortals even enjoyed rampaging with their own Red Giant form, turning ordinary planets into mere dust.

Some Immortals excelled at creating mechanical puppets. . .

And some Cosmic Immortals preferred to cultivate multiple paths simultaneously.

For example, You Mi Er’s 'mechanical ring' was crafted with immense resources, following the Mechanist school.

While that giant axe and the Star Devour secret art belonged to the Warrior school.

As long as it was effective, the Immortals' long lifespans allowed them to learn most schools of thought, or even create terrifying secret arts and professions of their own.

The cosmic tide finally dissipated, and the You Mi Er giant still stood in the void.

He suddenly lowered his head, staring at the armor now covered in sword marks, his face showing a trace of disbelief: “Two-ten-thousandths! With a single sword strike, you actually made me lose two-ten-thousandths of my mass! ”

For Immortals in the cosmos, their own 'mass' was extremely important.

After all, the more 'mass' they possessed, the more powerful gravity they could exude, allowing them to continuously advance upwards.

If they continuously lost mass, they might even degenerate back to the Planetary-level, losing all hope of advancing to the ‘Neutron Star Immortal’ stage!
