"Runic sword, how much do you know about the Void Empire?"
Qinchuan looked at the runic sword. In fact, he had wanted to ask this question ever since he had passed the Dongxu Thunder Trial and seen what had happened in the past. He knew very well that the runic sword was the reason why he was able to see what had happened in the past.
In response to Qinchuan's question, the runic sword's answer was very simple and straightforward. It knew as much as Qinchuan.
Now that the runic sword was riddled with scars, it could no longer remember many things that had happened in the past. However, it knew as much as Qinchuan knew about the Void Empire. These things did not stimulate the runic sword to recall what had happened in the past. As for the things that Qinchuan had seen in the dreamscape, the runic sword could not see them.
However, there was one thing that the runic sword was certain of. The Void Empire was their enemy. An enemy that they had to eliminate!
In response to the runic sword's answer, Qinchuan asked, "If we are in danger, can you use your sword to repel Po?"
The Runic Sword's understanding of the Void Empire wasn't the main point. The main point was whether or not the Runic Sword would be able to repel Arson's Runic Sword. If it could, then everyone would be happy. If it couldn't, then he would have to be careful.
This time, the runic sword replied after a moment of silence. It could repel Po, but it wasn't certain that it could kill him. Moreover, it would expose itself.
In response to the runic sword's reply, a subtle look flashed through Qinchuan's eyes. He asked, "You aren't certain that you can kill him?
Is it because this Po Sen is a complete fourth-grade Martial Warrior?
What would you expose yourself to? "
From his conversation with Hai Junlan, Qinchuan had learned that there was a threshold between the peak of the Dongxu Realm and the complete Dongxu Realm. Once crossed, the transformation would be earth-shattering. It was equivalent to touching the edge of the Body Fusion Stage. It was very likely that one would become an overlord of the universe.
Thinking about it, it was the same for the Void Empire. As a Grade Four Warrior, there was a high chance that Po would become a Grade Three Warrior and be on par with the overlords of the universe. Now that the runic sword had not fully recovered, it would be very difficult to kill Po without wasting the energy that he had painstakingly absorbed!
As for the 'exposure' that the rune sword was worried about, it was the exposure of his identity!
Others might not be able to tell that Qinchuan was a human, but that was not the case for Sampson. Once Qinchuan borrowed the power of the Runic Sword, his human bloodline would definitely be exposed. If Sampson discovered it, Qinchuan would definitely become a target for everyone. Even if the Void Empire could not do anything to Qinchuan, Zerg could!
"Hu."
Qinchuan sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, it'll be very difficult for me to borrow your strength this time. Once I'm exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Without the help of the rune sword, Qinchuan had to be fully prepared. He had to be careful and retreat in case of danger.
…
"The universe whirlpool is three thousand miles ahead of us. If we continue to approach it, there's a chance that we'll be discovered."
The pilot who was piloting the shuttle said to everyone, "I suggest that you all wear the invisibility equipment and split up. I'll hide around and wait for you to come back. If there's a battle, I'll retreat in twenty minutes. So try to come back within twenty minutes after you're exposed."
Hearing the pilot's words, Tushan Yue nodded seriously and said to everyone, "Everyone, put on the invisibility equipment!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately took action and put on the cloaking device. This cloaking device could not only turn their bodies invisible, but it could also hide their breathing, heartbeat, and even questions, making them look like meteorites floating in the universe, ordinary and unremarkable.
"We'll split into five groups and explore the universe whirlpool from different directions. Once you find the Void Empire, don't use the photon computer. Activate the tracking equipment immediately. Remember, after activating the tracking equipment, do not move unless something unexpected happens. Once you move, you'll be exposed!"
Hearing this, everyone responded loudly, "Yes, sir!"
Tushan Yue nodded, then said to Qinchuan, "Qinchuan, you're in my group."
After assigning their tasks, everyone started to move. Qinchuan and Tushan Yue left the shuttle and flew towards the universe whirlpool. At their normal speed, it would only take them a couple of minutes to reach the universe whirlpool. However, because they were afraid of the Void Empire, they flew very slowly, as if they had really become meteorites floating randomly.
"Qinchuan, do you think Elder Three and the others are still alive?"
Tushan Yue looked around vigilantly. What he said to Qinchuan had nothing to do with intelligence gathering.
Qinchuan glanced at Tushan Yue. After a short silence, he responded, "It's been such a long time. If they're still alive, they must have found a way to return to their families. If they haven't, it means that they might have fallen into the hands of the Void Empire, become captives, or already died."
Whether they were captives or dead, it wasn't a good thing.
"If Elder Three and the others are captives, then the Void Empire must have more captives. Perhaps the Void Empire will use them to threaten us."
Tushan Yue said in a deep voice, "And with their strength, it's almost impossible for them to die in the turbulence of space!"
Turbulence of space might be dangerous for Apotheosis Stage cultivators, but for Dongxu Stage cultivators, it would only cause some trouble. In other words, Elder Three and the others had either died in the hands of the Void Empire or become captives!
"I hope they're already dead."
Tushan Yue was in a bad mood when he said this. If it weren't for the fact that they were facing an enemy like the Void Empire, who would want their own brothers to die in the outside world?
When Qin Chuan heard these words, he sighed helplessly. If Arsen were to use the Third Elder and the others as hostages to threaten them, they would definitely not compromise in the face of righteousness that concerned the survival of the Terang Nebula. At that time, Arsen might even kill the Third Elder and the others to vent his anger. Witnessing the death of one's loved ones was truly heartbreaking!
After this conversation, Tushan Yue and Qinchuan both fell silent. They moved forward in silence. Slowly, they approached the space vortex and saw many broken wreckages of spaceships floating quietly in space.
"There are only wreckages of spaceships. There are no corpses."
Qinchuan looked around and didn't see any corpses. According to common sense, this shouldn't have happened.
"They should have been taken away by the Void Empire. Those corpses should be good nourishment for the Void Tentacles."
Tushan Yue said to Qinchuan, "Although the Void Tentacles can't absorb the power of the void, they can absorb the power of flesh and blood."
