Long Zhen Guo could still remember when the young man dressed in a silver business suit arrived on earth. At that time, the young man appeared extremely lofty. Every nation's leader was fawning over him. However, currently, the young man was as docile as a kitten in front of the patriarch of the Barker family. Moreover, the young man sounded extremely anxious when he spoke about his visit to earth.
Leylin glared at his nephew, the son of his only biological brother. He asked darkly, "Leyno, why did you go there?" His brother and sister-in-law had died to save him. Ever since then, Leylin had raised his nephew as though he was his biological son.
"I… I…" Leyno faltered as he looked at the purple-clad young man standing in the distance warily. He could tell the purple-clad young man had come precisely because of his trip to earth back then. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that a backwater planet would have an incredibly powerful cultivator.
Seeing his nephew's hesitation, Leylin's eyes widened in anger as he barked, "Explain yourself!"
"I saw how primitive the planet was so I gave them technology that was a few hundred years ahead of them… I only have good intentions!" Leyno explained. However, his head was lowered and his eyes darted around guiltily.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed when he heard Leyno's words. He lifted his head slightly and said mockingly, "Oh, you only had good intentions?"
Whoosh!
Leyno who was standing beside Leylin flew out of his flying vehicle without any warning. Before anyone could regain their senses, Duan Ling Tian was already clutching Leyno's neck as he held him up in the air.
Leyno knew his life was in Duan Ling Tian's hands at this moment. His face turned red as though all the blood in his body had rushed up to his face. He was panting heavily, and it was clear if this continued, he would die from lack of oxygen!
"Don't go too far, sir!" Leylin cried out. His expression had turned unsightly with anger as he glared at Duan Ling Tian.
"Go too far?!" Duan Ling Tian flashed him an indifferent smirk. "I plan to take my time playing with the Barker family, but I changed my mind. I don't think I should squander my precious time away on you lot of people!" As he spoke, energy surged from his body and shrouded the back of the enormous castle.
The Barker family's warehouse was located at the very back of the castle. It was where the family stored 37 of their most advanced battleships. They were docked there like the family's guardian spirits.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The enormous castle shook as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking as though a violent earthquake had hit the planet. Soon after, a series of explosions could be heard from the back of the castle.
"What happened?!"
"An earthquake?!"
A sandstorm had obscured their view of the castle. They could vaguely see 37 monstrous objects the size of a hill rising into the air. It did not take long before they saw the 37 objects were their battleships. They could see the Barker family's emblem engraved on the hulls of the battleships.
When the inhabitants on Planet Lissa saw this, they were stunned. Just one of the battleships was terrifying enough, but the Barker family had 37 of them! How could they not be afraid?
"Are those Transcendent-level Battleships?!"
"Heavens! They have 37 Transcendent-level Battleships!"
"I've long heard that the Barker family owns 37 Transcendent-level Battleships, but I dismissed them as rumors. Who knew it's true? These things are the foundation of the family's existence!"
"So did the Barker family mobilize all of their Transcendent-level Battleships to kill that cultivator?"
...
Meanwhile, Leylin who had seen the battleships began to scream at several high-ranking members of the family. "Who gave you permission to mobilize our Transcendent-level Battleships?!" He knew how confrontational it looked for the Transcendent-level Battleships to be mobilized at this moment. It was tantamount to declaring war on the cultivator. It would not end until one of the parties was gone. It would be great if they could kill the cultivator. However, the problem was he was not certain they were capable of killing the cultivator. If the cultivator did not die, the Barker family could only wait for their end.
The high-ranking members of the Barker family had an aggrieved expression on their faces at this moment when faced with Leylin's fury. After all, they were just as baffled by the battleships' sudden appearance.
"Patriarch, without… without your permission, no one is able to mobilize these battleships…"
"Yes, patriarch. Without your command, no one in the family can deploy them!"
Hearing these words, Leylin regained some of his senses. They were right. Without his explicit permission, no one could mobilize the Transcendent-level Battleships. A shocking thought appeared unbidden in his mind at this moment, 'Unless…' He turned to look at the purple-clad young man who held his nephew by the neck. Was it possible that this chaos was caused by the purple-clad young man? Did the purple-clad young man have something to do with the Transcendent-level Battleships' sudden appearance?
As though he could read Leylin's mind, Duan Ling Tian said, "So, these are the precious Transcendent-level Battleships that your family relies on to survive? They're trash! It's not even close to the Disaster-level Battleships I saw back in the Coste Galaxy!"
With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian controlled the 37 Transcendent-level Battleships to surround Tang Xiao Xiao and his companions. At this moment, the battleships' weapons were pointed at the Barker family.
The Barker family members' faces paled immediately. They would be fools if they still could not understand what was happening. This cultivator had assumed control of the 37 battleships!
…
The inhabitants of Planet Lissa who were watching were dumbfounded.
"What's… what's going on?!"
"I don't think the Barker family is controlling these ships! I think the cultivator has taken control of the ships!"
"He makes it look like he's playing with toys! Just who the hell is he?!"
…
"Of course they're weaker!" Tang Xiao Xiao responded to Duan Ling Tian with a smile on her face, "A Transcendent-level Battleship is roughly two times weaker than a Disaster-level Battleship. Fortunately, I recorded your feat back in the Coste Galaxy with the Mirror Image Dao Talisman. It's time to show them!"
Duan Ling Tian was surprised by Tang Xiao Xiao's words.
Tang Xiao Xiao took out a Dao Talisman and crushed it up. Soon after, a gigantic holographic image appeared in the air.
Since this was being broadcasted live, the inhabitants of Planet Lissa saw the scene that Tang Xiao Xiao had recorded as well.
The video played the scene where Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao were surrounded by 18 Disaster-level Battleships that were deployed by the Garnier family in the Coste Galaxy.
"Holy sh*t! Are those Disaster-level Battleships?!"
"Heaven smites me! Those are Disaster-level Battleships from legends. They look just like how the legends described them!"
"I've seen an image of a Disaster-level Battleship from an interplanetary merchant before. These battleships are indeed Disaster-level Battleships. They're definitely two times stronger than a Transcendent-level Battleship!"
"That's not the point!! The point is those two were surrounded by 18 Disaster-level Battleships, but they didn't die!"
"True! They wouldn't be here if they had died!"
Everyone was, naturally, shocked by this. However, this was not the most shocking thing they would see.
They watched as a streak of purple charged out. The purple-clad young man had disappeared from sight. In the next moment, one of the Disaster-level Battleships was completely destroyed. It did not take long before the remaining Disaster-level Battleships began to open fire on the purple-clad young man! However, he stood amidst the ensuing chaos, completely unscathed.
Everyone was stunned speechless for a moment. The purple-clad young man had single-handedly destroyed a Disaster-level Battleship and was not affected by the attacks from the remaining 17 battleships!
"Damn! Is this guy even human?"
"This is crazy. This is too terrifying!"
"No wonder he treated the Barker family's battleships like toys. After all, even the Disaster-level Battleships were like toys to him!"
Duan Ling Tian's earth-shattering might was revealed to the inhabitants of Planet Lissa at this moment. Not one of them was not trembling in fear when they saw this!
