Phoenix of the Nine Heavens was completely dumbstruck.
She had originally thought about forming an alliance with the Human Clan, merging with Xu Gu's forces. She had even considered Xu Gu to be on the same level as herself.
But now, she suddenly realized that even the formidable number six among the forty bandits, whom she couldn't handle, could be taken care of by Xu Gu's subordinates!
And with such ease.
What was key was that she saw an incredibly powerful talent in the beautiful woman who made the move!
Overcoming higher-level fighters!
What level of Combat Power did Liu Ying have? It was clear at a glance, a Low Star Upper King. Even a Low Star among Low Stars, just stepping into the realm of the Upper King!
Yet she managed to slay the number six, a Middle Star Upper King level thief!
Even she couldn't think of a way to counter that petrifying sword strike.
"Her talent far exceeds mine. And her looks and temperament seem no less impressive than my own." Phoenix of the Nine Heavens was an extremely proud individual.
They say some people are as proud as a phoenix.
And she was that phoenix, rightfully proud.
Yet now, she acknowledged that she was no better than Liu Ying.
What a staggering blow this was to her!
You must understand, Liu Ying was merely Xu Gu's female slave!
"No! I refuse to believe..." Phoenix of the Nine Heavens turned pale, as if all her vigor had been drained, looking incredibly haggard.
The blow was too heavy.
"No, I must meet this Xu Gu! To see for myself just what kind of charm he has that such a stunning woman would willingly become his female slave!"
After hesitating for a long time, she made up her mind and wanted to meet Xu Gu.
She wasn't the only one shocked; the Thunder Spirit Queen, dispatched by Xu Gu to protect everyone, was also astonished.
Xu Gu always had a strategy for everything.
Knowing that the forty bandits might threaten his Car Servant and forces, he sent the Thunder Spirit Queen, a new Extreme King with Demigod Level talent, to support them.
With her present, let alone dealing with a mere number six, even the entire group of forty bandits could be easily confronted.
What the Thunder Spirit Queen, Tian Xiang, didn't expect was for one of Xu Gu's Car Servants to be so strong?
No, all of Xu Gu's Car Servants were so strong?
Her observation was even more meticulous than that of Phoenix of the Nine Heavens; she not only monitored the battle between Liu Ying and number six but also watched the other Car Servants of Xu Gu engage in battles against the bandit army.
It was clear that though these Car Servants of Xu Gu might not have outstanding Combat Power and were generally at the Intermediate King level, with a few at the Upper King level.
However, their talent was truly strong!
It felt like picking any one of them could crush the Divine Sons or the Saintesses within the Mechanical Sea Clan on the Divine Domain Continent.
Especially that one named Liu Ying!
Her talent, even she felt wary of it.
"I'm afraid that, just like me, she also has a Demigod Level talent! And among those with Demigod Level talents, she is an extremely strong existence!"
The Thunder Spirit Queen, Tian Xiang, took a deep breath, filled with amazement: "My master, just what stature does he possess?"
Under normal circumstances, those with Demigod Level talent were capable of becoming Gods!
Moreover, they were not Gods with little potential, forcibly pushed through by external forces. They were true Gods who made their breakthroughs on their own!
"With such a roster, don't just look at the present; given time, they will inevitably become the strongest and most invincible force in the entire universe."
The Thunder Spirit Queen thought to herself secretly.
As for the scene of action?
Right now, there was complete silence.
Time and space seemed frozen.
Many powerful beings and creatures were left with a blank mind, unable to regain their senses.
Everything had happened too fast.
Too suddenly!
They simply had no time to react.
"What on earth is happening?"
"The battle is over?"
"The seemingly unstoppable army of forty thieves that was like a nightmare has been totally slaughtered?"
"The sixth thief, known as the god of murder among the forty thieves, the most mysterious one, who always loved to ambush and never failed in killing, has also fallen?"
"Did it take about ten minutes from start to finish?"
"Ten minutes? It wasn't even one minute! It's over!"
The crowd exclaimed in shock.
An unprecedented boiling over.
It was too dramatic.
First, Xu Gu's army returns, and then they were ambushed by the pirates led by the sixth thief. The sixth thief arrived with an overwhelming presence, his aura suppressing the Nine Heavens, an entrance like that of an Immortal God.
But the next moment, he was cut down with a single sword strike and died.
Such a stark contrast.
So much so that everyone's worldview was shattered.
Originally, they were hesitating on which side to mentally support. Although the forty thieves were fierce and did evil, Xu Gu's army had just occupied two relic stars and stole their opportunity, and they loathed Xu Gu and his army to death.
Now it seems they should be thankful that the battle ended too quickly, and they hadn't had the chance to cheer for the army of the forty thieves or to demean and insult Xu Gu's army.
Otherwise, they might have lost their lives.
"So strong!" Leanna cried out in shock.
The other Car Servants also exclaimed.
Pleasantly surprised, but at the same time a bit envious.
"It's nothing special, it's merely because I have a demigod-level talent. When our master grows up, he will quickly be able to help our sisters to achieve demigod-level talents as well."
Liu Ying said with a radiant smile.
With no arrogance at all, let alone any bullheadedness or scheming.
Xu Gu doesn't like it.
Even serving water with an even hand.
Then they disliked scheming even more. Therefore, the Car Servants got along very well with each other.
Regarding Liu Ying's words, the crowd didn't find them unrealistic.
Xu Gu treated them very well, almost really treating them like lovers, giving them good things to use whenever available.
As long as Xu Gu grows up and gains enough treasure to upgrade them to demigod-level talents, they believe Xu Gu would not hesitate to do so.
"The more so, the more we should," said Ao Moyun, "strive to achieve meritorious deeds for our master and help him conquer territories!"
"Right! But for now, the most important thing is to quickly improve our own strength!" said the Great Sage of the Mage Clan, Li Junqing.
Although her qualifications were old and her strength was not as good as Liu Ying's, nor her backing and past identity, her status was not low either.
The other Car Servants all nodded in agreement.
And then they laughed and discussed playfully.
Their relationship was harmonious.
After cleaning up the site, they were eager to rendezvous with Xu Gu at the fifth star, as if nothing had happened.
They missed him so much after not seeing him for more than ten days.
...
On the other side,
Xu Gu had absorbed both the expedition army of the Starry Sky Locust Clan and the Northern Alliance into the Battle Space and transformed them into his own combat army.
He set off towards the depths.
To search for the Creator's Ark.
With the Starry Sky Locust Clan leading the way, everything went smoothly, and soon they reached their destination.
"Is this the Creator's Ark?"
Xu Gu exclaimed in astonishment at the Creator's Ark before his eyes.
It was a silver-white giant ship, pulsating and glowing like a star. Around it, countless space and time ripples of chaos dispersed.
Making it impossible to determine its size and the time since it exists.
Because it repelled space and time, on it, the concepts of space and time that must inherently exist seemed absent.
It was precisely for this reason that Xu Gu was filled with wonder.
