It had happened before.
Their negligence had permitted a supposed loyal disciple of Danilo Lujan to infiltrate the Immortal Breaking Universe. To their dismay, this individual turned out to be a betrayer from within Danilo Lujan's own ranks.
What was utterly contemptible...
This turncoat had conspired with the Divine Realm Human Sovereign to sow chaos throughout the Immortal Breaking Universe.
Ultimately, even the esteemed Danilo Lujan, one of the ten great immortal sects, defected to the side of the Divine Realm Human Sovereign, betraying the Immortal Breaking Universe.
As a consequence, the two guards faced severe reprimands from their sect and were sentenced to a century of unpaid service, protecting this colossal city.
The mere thought of the incident was enough to plunge the young guard into such despair that he felt physically ill.
"Don't fret, senior brother. That incident was a fluke. It's rare for anyone to come by this starry sky city we're guarding," he reassured.
Despite his attempt at reassurance, the young guard's lips twisted in doubt.
Suddenly, a thunderous "Rumble..." interrupted them.
The universe before them began to tremble violently, startling both guards. They looked up to see an immense creature bathed in a dim, bloody glow hurtling toward the city.
The guard in blue robes felt a chill as his eyes narrowed. "Could that be... Danilo Lujan Sect's Star Warship?"
Blood... Danilo Lujan?
The young guard's face registered alarm.
After Danilo Lujan's cult had abandoned the Immortal Breaking Universe alongside the Divine Realm Human Sovereign, they were now making an unexpected return?
"Hurry... Activate the city's defense formation!" the blue-robed guard shouted, panic etched on his face.
Danilo Lujan, having already forsaken the Immortal Breaking Universe, had no place here any longer. His sudden reappearance could only mean trouble.
Without a moment's hesitation, the young guard commanded the activation of the starry sky city's defense formation.
With the ongoing clash between the Immortal Breaking Universe and the heavenly star universe reaching a fever pitch, and the legendary Heaven Breaking Ancient Domain making its appearance, the city's power reserves had already been depleted by a staggering eighty to ninety percent.
The two guards tasked with protecting Starry Sky City were among the strongest half-step Great Vehicle cultivators. However, even they stood little chance against the Danilo Lujan Sect, once revered as one of the top ten immortal sects within the Immortal Breaking Universe.
Their only hope was to rely on the city's defensive formation to fend off the Danilo Lujan Sect's assault.
With a resonant hum, the defensive formation sprang to life, casting a gossamer veil of starlight over the entirety of Starry Sky City.
As the protective barrier shimmered into existence, a colossal blood-hued starship sliced through the cosmic expanse, drawing to a halt just outside the city's massive boundaries.
"Xue Qiansha, so it's truly your Danilo Lujan Sect!" The blue-robed guard's face contorted with shock and rage upon sighting Xue Qiansha and Peter Parker, who stood imperiously at the helm of the interstellar warship.
Xue Qiansha had once betrayed the Danilo Lujan Sect, ushering the Divine Realm Human Sovereign into the Immortal Breaking Universe. And now, he had the audacity to return with the same formidable ally.
Observing the guards in their azure attire, Xue Qiansha couldn't suppress a smirk. "Fate does have a sense of humor, doesn't it? I never imagined we'd cross paths again here in Starry Sky City. In honor of our acquaintance, I'll extend a courtesy—allow us passage into the Immortal Breaking Universe, and I'll spare you any trouble."
"Xue Qiansha, your Danilo Lujan Cult has been branded a traitor by the Immortal Breaking Universe. Every soul within its bounds is duty-bound to mete out your punishment. Your dreams of entry are nothing more than a fantasy!" the guard retorted with icy disdain.
"Ah, such bravery," Xue Qiansha chuckled. "It's truly a shame that your city lacks even a single Great Cheng cultivator. Such a feeble barrier can hardly impede the advance of my Danilo Lujan Sect."
With a casual flick of his wrist, Xue Yuntian pointed at Starry Sky City. A gargantuan, blood-red hand materialized, clamping down on the starlight screen and shattering it with a thunderous crash.
Starry Sky City's defensive formation could only withstand the power of an early-stage Great Vehicle cultivator. However, Xue Yuntian's cultivation had soared to the late stage of the Da Cheng class, and over the years, he had made further progress. Now, he was merely half a step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Da Cheng class. His formidable strength was not something the city's defenses could possibly hold back.
Casting a glance at the ashen-faced guards in blue robes, Xue Qiansha couldn't resist turning to Peter Parker. "Master, do you plan to annihilate everyone in Starry Sky City?"
With a dismissive wave of his hand, Peter Parker replied, "There's no need. We're heading back to the Silent Blood Horizon."
Upon his return to the Immortal Breaking Universe, Peter Parker had no desire to conceal his presence. He was content to let these individuals report his return to the ten immortal sects, making it known that Peter Parker was back.
Hearing this, Xue Qiansha remained silent and promptly commanded the starry sky battleship to traverse Starry Sky City and make its way into the Immortal Breaking Universe.
Shortly thereafter, the Interstellar Warship emerged in the Lonely Blood Horizon, descending upon the skies above the Danilo Lujan Sect. The warship's arrival caused a significant stir, drawing the attention of many. Figures from the Danilo Lujan Cult took to the air on their swords, converging on the scene.
"Who dares to cause such a ruckus in the domain of the Blood Sword Immortal Sect?!" demanded an elder, a half-step Great Vehicle practitioner, as he ascended on a sword crackling with green lightning. His voice, icy and authoritative, echoed throughout the cosmos.
Xue Qiansha regarded the elder with a cool detachment. "I never imagined that my Danilo Lujan Sect's mountain gate would become a stronghold for your Blood Sword Immortal Sect. It appears you've been thriving in the Immortal Breaking Universe all these years."
The words prompted the elder to look up at the Interstellar Warship. Recognition dawned on him, and terror etched across his face as he saw the three figures leading the ship. "Xue... Xue Qiansha, what brings you here?"
In times past, Danilo Lujan had allied with the Human Sovereign Realm of the Divine Realm, betraying the Immortal Breaking Universe. Since then, there had been no refuge for Danilo Lujan within the Immortal Breaking Universe.
He could never have imagined this turn of events.
Xue Qiansha had unexpectedly returned Danilo Lujan to the Immortal Breaking Universe!
Escape was the only option.
The elder of the Blood Sword Immortal Sect knew he couldn't linger a moment longer. In a flash, he transformed into a beam of sword light, speeding toward the horizon.
The Danilo Lujan Sect stood among the top ten immortal sects in the Immortal Breaking Universe.
For ages, the Danilo Lujan Sect had dominated the Blood Sword Immortal Sect, leaving them no room to even raise their heads in defiance.
The strength that the Blood Sword Immortal Sect had mustered to defend their territory paled in comparison to that of the Danilo Lujan Sect.
He needed to vacate the area immediately and relay the news of Danilo Lujan's return to the Immortal Breaking Universe to the Blood Sword Immortal Sect.
"You think you can just leave?"
Xue Qiansha's voice was laced with a chilling sneer. In a blur of motion, he charged at the elder.
When Peter Parker's identity was revealed, the Blood Sword Immortal Sect had been the first to seize the opportunity to attack him at his lowest. They showed no gratitude for the assistance their master had once provided.
Xue Qiansha, therefore, harbored no warm feelings for the members of the Blood Sword Immortal Sect. Why would he allow this elder to escape now?
With a thunderous explosion, the crimson True Yuan within him burst forth, morphing into a colossal blood blade, tens of thousands of feet in length, and cleaved through the air towards the fleeing elder.
