Chapter 1109: Chapter 27: Wang Sheng Faces an Assassination Attempt
Chong Xu, the final survivor of the Devouring Sect, although he didn’t cause Wang Sheng much trouble, was easily rescued by him.
But he left a deep impression on him.
After all, a cultivator who can make the starry sky fearful, and given time, could completely destroy the starry sky, it’s hard for him not to be impressed.
Initially, he thought that events like Chong Xu were just exceptions.
After all, Chong Xu could possess such abilities because he embarked on a special path of the Thirteen Realms, in any case he is a creature that has stepped into the Thirteen Realms.
Ordinary creatures don’t have this opportunity.
Not to mention the Thirteen Realms, the Old Land Starry Sky has countless creatures. Even counting the Devouring Sect, there are less than two hundred who reach the level of Twelve Realm Saint Emperor.
It is imaginable how difficult cultivation is, the higher the realm, the fewer the number of people.
However, now he seems to have seen similar abilities again, and not only similar, the user is not very strong either.
He directly found the location of the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the Dust Beasts and the Starfire Civilization are resisting.
Dust Beasts have different appearances.
Some have the head of a vicious dog, a ferocious look, long bodies covered in bone spikes, with fangs and claws complementing each other, just by looking they appear extremely sharp, floating in the air, very terrifying.
Others are in the shape of birds, with mighty bodies, bulging muscles, wings like iron plates, claws sharp enough to tear anything apart, a pair of sharp fangs exposed from their mouths, their entire bodies covered in black feathers, all enhancing their cruelty and ferocity, like a demon hungrily staring at its prey.
Some…
Diverse Dust Beasts, their common feature is emanating an ominous black aura.
Countless Dust Beasts gather together, covering the sky, like a black nebula.
Simply existing, the Dust Beasts already cause damage to the starry sky.
Passing by a planet, it disappears without a trace in an instant, completely perishing.
The starry sky suffers damage.
The warships and cultivators of the Starfire Civilization do not just stand by; the cultivators take the lead in defending crucial nodes, the warship artillery roars, and in the blink of an eye, a vast number of Dust Beasts are destroyed.
After being eradicated, the Dust Beasts’ bodies don’t remain but turn into ashes, shortly disappearing without a trace.
The Starfire Civilization, able to withstand the Dust Beasts and even develop to their current level, does indeed have certain competencies.
The overwhelming Dust Beasts were also held back by them.
And there is time for development to provide more support to the frontline.
Both warships and cultivators continuously head to the frontline.
The entire civilization is extremely united.
Of course, none of these concern Wang Sheng.
“How exactly are these ferocious Dust Beasts birthed?”
Perhaps the Starfire Civilization itself doesn’t know, Dust Beasts are a disaster capable of destroying starry skies.
Being born in such a primitive starry sky, it indeed feels a bit deceitful.
“Where exactly does this power come from, could it be similar to some worlds in the New Land?”
Due to the Shattered Star Sacred Land’s schemes of the Old Land Starry Sky, initially some worlds in the New Land Starry Sky received power deliberately sent from the Old Land Starry Sky, developing extremely rapidly, cultivation appearing one or two millenniums earlier than in other worlds, where most still lingered in the Seventh or Eighth Realm, with the highest not surpassing the Ninth Realm, yet affected worlds already had Eleventh Realm cultivators.
For example, worlds like the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continent.
With the emergence of a force capable of threatening the starry sky, Wang Sheng suspects this power might also be introduced from other starry skies.
Having the New Land, Old Land, and the Fourth Starry Sky where Xuan Yuan Palace is located, it’s unsurprising for there to appear a Fifth or Sixth Starry Sky.
“If so, then it indicates this piece of starry sky is targeted by strong cultivators from elsewhere; but is it really so?”
Wang Sheng had initially planned to return.
But eventually remained on a planet of the Starfire Civilization.
He is very interested in the Dust Beasts and wishes to study them.
Thus, on the Starfire Civilization’s main star “Starfire,” a research institute appeared, the Dust Research Institute.
The main research direction is the study of Dust Beasts.
No one knows when the Dust Research Institute appeared, but no one questions its emergence as if it ought to exist.
Soon after the Dust Research Institute appeared, the battlefield underwent some changes.
“Finally caught a live one, it wasn’t easy!”
“Thanks to the Dust Research Institute, otherwise where would we get restrictors.”
“Indeed, previously everyone was going crazy trying to research, yet all methods failed; capturing live ones was impossible.”
The Starfire Civilization naturally also seeks to study the Dust Beasts.
Yet the Dust Beasts seemingly can’t leave their group, or simply cannot be contained, even when capturing a few or a dozen Dust Beasts, they soon perish.
Ensuring their prolonged existence is infeasible.
Even if they could be retained briefly, severe injuries result in death and transformation into disappearing ashes.
It is precisely this characteristic that allows them to withstand the Dust Beasts’ attacks.
At the same time, the understanding of Dust Beasts remains limited.
Until the Dust Research Institute’s emergence.
The high ranks of the Starfire Civilization attach great importance to the Dust Research Institute.
Upon capturing Dust Beasts, they are immediately sent there.
“Professor Wang Sheng, here are the Dust Beasts you requested, featuring from the Third Realm to the Seventh Realm.”
An officer from the Starfire Alliance Army delivered the captured Dust Beasts to Wang Sheng.
“Hmm, put them down, I will handle it.”
The alliance army officer hesitated momentarily looking at the ferocious Dust Beasts, then said, “Professor Wang Sheng, do you need us to assign people for guarding? In case of a breakout, we can also ensure your safety.”
