Chapter 2069 The Nine Heavens (2)

A tense silence descended upon the Fleeting Cloud Profound Skyship. Yun Lintian narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing the vast emptiness separating them from the approaching vessels.

Unlike the ragtag collection of ships they'd encountered in the Divine Realm, this group exuded an air of chilling order and power. Each ship, sleek and menacing in its design, seemed to radiate a faint, oppressive aura.

"They are no ordinary pirates," Yun Qianxue said calmly. Her keen senses picked up the faint hum of powerful formations woven into the hulls of the approaching ships.

"Indeed," Yun Lintian agreed, a flicker of steel flashing in his eyes. This is a pirate fleet, but a very well-equipped and well-coordinated one."

Qingqing, ever the impulsive one, scoffed. "Hmph, a bunch of glorified robbers daring to show off in front of us? Let's teach them a lesson, Big Brother Yun!"

"Let's wait and see first." Yun Lintian, however, held up a hand, silencing her.

He wasn't about to underestimate these pirates. Their very presence in this desolate expanse of space, far from the usual trade routes, hinted at their ruthlessness and disregard for authority. Perhaps they were a notorious group known for preying on unsuspecting travelers in these uncharted territories.

As the pirate fleet drew closer, Yun Lintian activated the Fleeting Cloud's defensive formations. A shimmering barrier of azure light enveloped the ship, deflecting the prying gazes of the pirates' soul senses. He wanted to be as low-key as possible but wouldn't mind fighting these people here.

A booming voice, laced with arrogance, echoed across the void. "Halt! This is Captain Bloodfang of the Crimson Gale! Identify yourselves and state your business in our territory!"

Yun Lintian's lips curled into a faint smile. It seemed these pirates operated with their own sense of dominion in this lawless sector. He decided to have a little fun with them.

With a theatrical flourish, he stepped onto the deck, his presence radiating a subtle pressure that made even his closest companions take a step back.

"Captain Bloodfang?" he boomed back, his voice carrying across the void. "We are humble travelers, merely passing through on our way."

proud pirate fleet hovered.

Only the wreckage of the Fleeting Cloud Skyship's defensive barrier, shimmering faintly in the aftermath, hinted at the battle that had transpired mere moments ago.

Yun Lintian lowered his hand, his expression calm and serene. Captain Bloodfang, clearly at the peak level of the Middle God Realm, couldn't even put up any resistance against the Great Law of Death.

Since breaching the Lower God Realm, Yun Lintian could no longer measure his own strength. The power of the Great Law had become significantly stronger, as had his control over divine bloodlines and the elements.

He was certain he could now fight any practitioner in the God Ascension Realm with no problem.

"This is too powerful," Han Bingling exclaimed in amazement.

"The power of the Great Law reigns supreme indeed," Yun Meilan said calmly. She had recently read about the Great Law in ancient records. It explained the unparalleled strength of the God of Death, the God of Time, and the God of Life.

"Learning it would be incredible," Yun Huanxin said with envy.

Yun Meilan looked at her and said, "There's the Great Law of Time and Space. Perhaps you'll have a chance to comprehend it someday."

"I hope so," Yun Huanxin responded casually.

Yun Lintian turned around, facing everyone, and said, "Sorry. I was too eager to test my strength and totally forgot to check out their identity."

"It doesn't matter." Yun Qianxue said gently. "At least, no one will notice this... Let's go."
