Chapter 731: Space Pirates
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
The amethyst battleship slowed down deliberately. In just a blink, it was five times slower than before.
Shi Yan was sensitive enough to catch this change. He walked out of his cabin, heading to the main deck. At first glance, he saw Princess Zi Yao, Du Feng, and Bergh there with their solemn countenances.
He was surprised as he found a flow of soul fluctuation sent from his Star Martial Spirit. In his Sea of Consciousness, the Star Upanishad also rippled, as if it had found something marvelous.
Looking at the space ahead of him, Shi Yan was dazed.
In front of his eyes was a sea of flames and burning light. Countless massive scorching meteorolites floated, as if they had been heated to the acme. Shi Yan could see the beams of light that were so hot that they could melt any matter.
The Earth Flame was shaking in thrill. It was overjoyed, dancing in its soul altar, sending Shi Yan its happy soul thought. "This place's marvelous. It suits me best. I love this place so much."
Shi Yan was surprised. He was in a daze for a while before he realized the dense, burning halo quietly rolled into the center of his Star Martial Spirit.
His entire body was bathed in warm light energy. He didn't need to urge his power to see how big the benefit he had just gained was. Shi Yan was so comfortable he couldn't hold his groan.
"Ah!" Princess Zi Yao sighed while talking to Du Feng and Bergh. She exhaled gently and then smiled at him. "Oh, here you are."
Shi Yan nodded, smiling brightly. "I suddenly found the ship slowing down, so I came out to check it out. Haha, what is this place? Looks so strange."
Seeing Shi Yan, Du Feng, Bergh, and the others paled slightly. They instinctively gathered their energy, in case their vitality started to be drawn.
After they knew that Shi Yan could use the Soul Burial Ground, they became wary of him. None of them dared to come close to Shi Yan, avoiding him discreetly.
Du Feng sensed for a while. After he could confirm that his vitality wasn't being drawn out, he finally eased his mind. He squeezed a reluctant smile and then nodded at Shi Yan. "Have you got used to the ship yet? My attitude wasn't good. Please forgive me. Yeah, wait until we come back, I will give you a life star to fulfill my promise. Don't hold a grudge against me."
Princess Zi Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled. She nodded quietly as she thought that her brother had finally grown up.
Shi Yan was quite surprised. He looked at Du Feng several times with an odd face. As he found that the other wasn't joking, he clasped his fist and talked to him. "It's your appreciation. How can I be talented enough to ask for a life star from you? Moreover, my realm is too low. Even if you grant me the life star, I can't keep it for a long time. We should just forget it."
"Then, I will keep it for you first. When you feel you need it, you can take it. As long as you ask me, I will give you at any time. I will absolutely keep my words this time!" Du Feng said with a serious visage.
Although Shi Yan was more suspicious, he didn't show it out. He beamed a faint smile. "Oh, thank you. I will always remember the favor from Your Highness."
"Don't be too polite. You've saved me. I should do something for you." Du Feng suddenly became excited, smiling.
"This place's called the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. Did you see the three suns on Da Lei's life star?" Princess Zi Yao stood up from her seat, waving at him to signal him to come closer.
Shi Yan sauntered towards her, smiling. "You said the three suns?"
"Yeah, in Raging Flame Star Area, we call the sun a solar star. Perhaps you don't know, but we could see four Solar Stars from Da Lei's life star. But that was a long time ago." Zi Yao pointed to her side. "This place used to be the fourth Solar Star. However, it exploded, creating the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field we are watching here. The Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field has countless fragments of the Solar Star. They radiate the furious sunlight that can melt any creature or matter. Even myself, a Third Sky of King God Realm expert, could be melted if exposed to the sunlight for a long time."
Shi Yan was frightened.
Dangers in outer space were everywhere indeed. This Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field was much more perilous than the energy storms. If what Zi Yao said were true, this area would be too terrifying.
That was why his Star Martial Spirit had gained big benefits, and the Earth Flame was happy as soon as he had arrived in this area. This place was a special area created by a sun explosion.
"No battleship dares to move fast in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. Once we get in contact with those sunbeams, even my amethyst battleship will be melted quickly," Princess Zi Yao continued her explanation. "So, we need to slow down. And, space pirates often visit this area. If we meet them, it will be a bigger trouble."
"Space pirates?" Shi Yan's eyes sparkled with a strange light. "They aren't afraid of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation? They dare attack you guys too?"
Du Feng beamed a forced smile as he answered him, "The space pirates all have secret whereabouts. They don't have their life stars. They often operate in perilous areas in the Raging Flame Star Area to rob the battleships. Once they get what they want, they will find a place to hide away. It's possible that they won't show up for a hundred years. We can't capture them."
Shi Yan got it right after the other had finished.
He had talked with Du Feng many times in the bronze steamship. Shi Yan knew that the Raging Flame Star Area had many dangerous experts, which could expand their Soul Consciousness to several life stars. Their competences were unimaginably incredible.
Anyway, even such warriors couldn't really control each area of the Raging Flame Star Area, as they couldn't sense all the commotions everywhere.
Also, this star area had so many bizarre and peculiar areas that could prevent the Soul Consciousness from surveying.
For example, the Lonesome Dead Territory could deactivate all kinds of soul sensing. When the Soul Consciousness got into that area, it would feel like it was barricaded in an endless darkness, where it could sense nothing.
If the space pirates took shelter in a similar area, no expert could use his Soul Consciousness to find them. And, what intensified their headache was that the Raging Flame Star Area had too many areas like that. Those experts couldn't go and check each area themselves.
Thus, even if the space pirates robbed a strong force they shouldn't create grudges with, they could deliberately retreat. As long as they didn't show up, it was hard to find them.
"Oh, that's how it is," Shi Yan nodded. "Space Pirates love to visit this Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field?"
Princess Zi Yao, Du Feng, Bergh, and the others nodded with an ugly smile.
"So, why have you chosen this route? Couldn't we change the direction?" asked Shi Yan.
"We have our problems. If we don't have to, who wants to visit this area?" Zi Yao smiled nonchalantly, but she didn't explain thoroughly. "It's good that you finally come out of your cabin. Secluded training for a long time isn't good for breaking through. The Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field is also a wonder of the Raging Flame Star Area. It's stunning and unpredictable. You can observe this sight of outer space. Perhaps it could widen your mind and help you break through again."
"It's not that easy," Shi Yan smiled. He understood that she was just saying so. He didn't put it in his mind, just watching the marvelous Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field and chatting with them.
Each of the massive flaming meteorolites seemed to gush out melting burning liquid, which radiated the formidable sunbeams. They weaved, entangling with each other and creating the magnificent light nets. The flaming meteorolites were the fragments of the Solar Star. They hovered quietly like countless flames or giant lanterns, gloriously illuminating the whole area.
The temperature of this area was of course too high. Although Zi Yao's team was wearing thin clothes, their bodies were still damp with sweat.
Du Feng and Bergh were alright, but the sweat rolling on their bodies obviously didn't give Shi Yan any sense of beauty.
Zi Yao was different.
When her flimsy silky dress was soaked in sweat, it stuck to her perfectly charming body, revealing her seducing curves. It had increased her glamour by hundreds of times, making people's vein bulge and eyes get hot, as if they could even breath out fire from their eyes.
Standing beside her, Shi Yan would sometimes let his eyes wander over her body for a while. It had stirred up his heart, making him want to eye her more.
He suddenly felt so hot he couldn't bear it. Shi Yan thought that this Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field was really scorching. Shortly, he was sweating like summer rain. However, he didn't recognize it, still talking to Zi Yao and Du Feng.
"Sometimes, we will sweat, and sweating means no harm. Even if we have the God Body, in this Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field, if we don't use our power, we are no different from ordinary people." Princess Zi Yao smiled as she had busted him sneaking at her. However, she didn't care about it, her smile getting brighter. "When ordinary people arrive at this area, even if they can hide inside the battleship, they are unable to bear the heat. If they have the guts to expose their bodies, they will be melted shortly. However, we don't want to use energy now to make our God Body adapt to the harsh ambiance. It's considered a kind of strenuous training for us."
While Shi Yan was listening to her, he peeked at her body from time to time. Eventually, his face reddened, as he had a particular masculine reaction toward her.
Gradually, Shi Yan felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and he felt embarrassed too. He contemplated for a while and then tried to move his attention to other things. He released his Soul Consciousness, taking a walk inside the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.
As Shi Yan had comprehended Space power Upanishad, his Soul Consciousness had been added with space power. Although his realm was the lowest among this group, the area his Soul Consciousness could cover was much greater than Zi Yao at the Third Sky of King God Realm, all thanks to the existence of space power.
While he was concentrating on his Soul Consciousness surveying, he could escape his embarrassing situation. The range his Soul Consciousness could reach was extended further and further.
Gradually, his soul felt tired, which was the sign of over-exertion. His Soul Consciousness had reached too far, beyond his realm's capability.
Shi Yan was dazed, wanting to retrieve his Soul Consciousness to recover.
However, at this moment, one of his furthest beams of Soul Consciousness reported him the energy fluctuation of living beings.
Shi Yan was a little bit startled. He retreated all the other beams of Soul Consciousness and poured more soul energy into that beam of Soul Consciousness to survey further.
Shi Yan was shaken! His flow of Soul Consciousness had had an astonishing discovery!
