Chapter 3899 Orbiting Stars
Davis headed into the deeper regions of the space.
He guessed he was somewhere between Azure Tree Lower Realm to the southwest, Verdant Vale Lower Realm to the southeast, and the Golden Crow Lower Realm to the north, although he guessed he was closer to the Golden Crow Lower Realm.
Fortunately, he didn't trust the Heavenly Blight Hall enough to head in without knowing where he was, so he was aware of where the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm was located in space. With that knowledge in mind and considering he was heading north, he imagined that he was closer to the Golden Crow Lower Realm.
However, he didn't want to go there.
He instead traversed north for a while before clearing the trail and traversing in space with just his body alone as he threw the flying boat into the spatial ring.
As for Rokushi Mirai, she also accompanied him.
He concealed both of them in death energy and traversed.
Rokushi Mirai didn't react much to his death energy. She wasn't afraid, and she already knew the purity, so it was no longer a marvel to her. Instead, she even immersed herself in it, trying to gain insights.
Davis didn't bother with her mute nature.
He wrapped her with his soul force and carried her all the way. While traversing, he could also see the edge of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm in the western direction. It was a massive floating continent, but considering the distance between them, it appeared to be nothing more than a small island.
Davis could not see anything within the line of sight but could vaguely sense a lot of spatial undulations. It could just be spatial storms, but considering it was closer to the realm, he was inclined to think that they were ships investigating his presence.
It was only an hour, but they were already searching for him, making him scoff.
Did they want more of him after tasting complete defeat?
He supposed he was lenient on them, but then, the other scenario was Autarch Elluro Coldwing finally appearing, and they were relentlessly searching for him to take revenge.
Davis didn't underestimate them and steered clear.
He went diagonally, gaining distance from the Obsidian Crystal Minor Realm while also not heading straight to the Azure Tree Lower Realm. Otherwise, he could be caught on the way. Nonetheless, he didn't speed up as he needed to conserve energy. The heaven and earth energy in space was practically scarce or none at all, so even if he was an ordinary cultivator, he wouldn't have anything to absorb.
He cruised his way through space.
Right now, he was not using a realm pathway, so space was much more dangerous.
Eventually, after a few hours, he came across another star. This star was golden.
It was also a natural disaster and appeared to be around sixty-three million kilometers in radius. It was as big as nine times the size of the Sun he would see above Planet Earth. It was absolutely massive, yet looking at it from so close didn't burn his pupils or set his body ablaze.
If he got too close, it might be able to harm an Immortal Emperor but not him, whose body was as strong as an Empyrean's.
He could also feel its gravitational pull, but that was negligible. Only an Immortal would be caught in its gravitational pull this far and get blazed into dust. However, it seemed capable of harming an Empyrean if one got to its surface.
Davis knew the size didn't matter, but the grade of the star mattered.
This was indeed a Realm Calamity, something even more dangerous than a Void Calamity, but it was a dormant one since it seemed to be safely orbiting around the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm. Otherwise, the people would have made a move already and destroyed this star.
There also seemed to be something that he would describe as a black dwarf star, a star that had gone cold because it expended its energy orbiting around it.
However, such a star would be considered dead and might not even be considered a star, but this strange blue star was radiating coldness. It was half the size of the burning golden star and seemed to be orbiting around it in a fairly stable orbit. These two celestial bodies were far enough for the gravitational pull not to demand them to head to each other and crash into a giant explosion.
'Is it a icy yin star?'
Davis's eyes were wide. He wouldn't find this possible anywhere in the Third Layer of the First Haven World. As for the Second Layer and First Layer, Davis didn't know as those regions were locked by the World Master.
Still, this was truly a sight to see. Perhaps it was because of this beautiful dance between the fiery and the icy star that no one dared to touch it. It could be considered a universal monument.
He looked at it for some more time before he smiled as he passed between them.
He couldn't help but remember Drake, who had drained the Sun's energy. That was nothing compared to this fiery yang star. Its energy was massive, as much as a peak Empyrean. Extracting energy from it was dangerous as getting closer would be too risky considering the solar storms it emitted. Sometimes, even supernovas could occur, taking the entire spatial region down within its omnidirectional flare.
He wondered what kind of expression Drake would make upon learning that he killed Peak Empyreans and Autarchs.
He wanted to destroy this calamitous star similarly, to pull one over him and see his face glow with jealousy, but he cleared that thought since he would just be caught instead.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Davis noticed the presence of a small cluster of asteroids while passing through. These asteroids seemed to be relatively safe. Perhaps they held Empyrean Grade ores, which allowed them not to be burned or encased in ice. Moreover, they could also be in the habitable zone between the two stars, making it so that it wasn't too hot or cold.
Davis felt some strange spatial undulations and saw that there was actually a pirate stronghold.
Even in Bandit Emperor Rekan Lockette's memories, he had seen bandits occupying asteroids and other celestial bodies to hide and survive in space, but he had never seen a pirate stronghold between two stars. Perhaps it was a hideout instead of a stronghold, as he saw that there were no defenses placed anywhere on the asteroid's surface.
Becoming a bit curious, Davis thought about entering the asteroids a bit, thinking he might find some treasures before he shrugged.
The bandits here might be powerful, considering they were literally made a few asteroids between two dangerous stars their home. The resulting battle might end up alerting the realm in the distance.
Davis was concealed, so it wasn't a problem for him to just pass through.
He passed by the asteroids rather quickly, maintaining a speed that was fast enough to be a blur for Immortal Emperors.
However, before he could completely pass through, he stopped and looked to the side. He saw a purple-robed woman, the spitting image of someone he was familiar with, causing his pupils to dilate.
"Senior Wix…" Davis uttered with shock.
