Xingchen said calmly.
With a flash of dazzling light, the two figures vanished from the divine realm. Xingchen felt the surrounding space violently distort, as if passing through a silver tunnel, with countless starlight streaking past him.
A moment later, the scene before them became clear again. They were now in an unfamiliar starry sky.
"Teleportation successful. We are about 0.1 light-years away from the barracks base. To avoid attracting attention, we'd better fly there in our spaceship."
Xingchen sensed the location of the clone and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
Silverwing King took out a silver shuttle-shaped spaceship: "Uncle-Master, this is my fastest spaceship. It can arrive in half an hour."
After boarding the spaceship, Xingchen gazed at the vast starry sky outside the porthole, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: "We're finally almost there..."
Meanwhile, outside the 073rd military base, Nightmare King leaned lazily against his purple throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest: "Star King, how much longer can you hide?"
One of the Nightmare Candle King's subordinates, a peak-level Immortal of the Marquis level, cautiously asked, "My lord, if the Star King continues to hide in the military camp and doesn't come out, won't we have to wait here forever?"
The Nightmare King's fingers suddenly stopped, and a brilliant purple light shone in his narrow eyes. The space around the throne began to distort, revealing the turmoil in his heart.
"Humph!"
The Nightmare Candle King sneered and suddenly stood up.
Her long purple hair moved without wind, and she exuded a suffocating aura: "Let's go! Let's go straight in!"
"Sir, this..."
His subordinates hesitated.
"Are we just going in like this?"
"Otherwise what? We are human too. We can still enter this military base."
Immediately afterwards, Nightmare Candle King, accompanied by five Marquis-level Immortals, swaggered into the 073rd military base, his purple combat boots making a crisp sound as they stepped on the metal ground.
"Get out of the way!"
A marquis-level official led the way, his metal arm roughly pushing aside the crowd blocking his path.
Upon seeing this, many powerful figures within the base quickly moved aside, and a look of apprehension flashed in the eyes of many. One of the realm lords whispered to his companion, "It's Nightmare Candle King... it seems he's here for Star King."
"Shh, mind your own business."
His companion quickly pulled him aside.
The people along the way tacitly made way for him, no one wanting to provoke this powerful and ruthless figure.
Although the human immortals looked indignant, they ultimately did not step forward to stop them.
The Nightmare Candle King curled his lips in satisfaction, a hint of smugness flashing in his purple eyes. He casually grabbed a passing Realm Lord: "Tell me, where is the Star King?"
The realm lord's face turned deathly pale, and he stammered, "I...I don't know."
"cut."
He casually tossed him aside.
"Go and find out where he is now, then we'll go find him."
"Yes!"
……
On the other side, while the Nightmare Candle King was still searching for the Star, the Star's two clones finally met.
Silverwing King piloted his silver shuttle-shaped spaceship and quietly landed on the secret helipad of the 073rd military base.
"Uncle-Master, we've arrived."
Silverwing King stowed his spaceship and stood respectfully behind Star.
Xingchen nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: "Let's go see my clone."
The two walked through the base's busy streets and soon arrived at a secluded training room. Xingchen stopped and said softly, "This is it."
Just as Silverwing King was about to knock on the door, the door to the training room opened automatically. A figure identical to Starlight slowly walked out, but he bore obvious signs of battle and his aura was somewhat weak.
The two stars exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a knowing smile.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Starry Sky, standing beside Silverwing King, said softly."
The clone shook its head and extended its hand: "Worth it."
They were clearly one consciousness, but they still exchanged a sentence at this moment, perhaps it was Xingchen's wicked sense of humor.
Two hands clasped together in mid-air.
Just as Silverwing King was puzzled, a scene that shocked him occurred. The clone's body suddenly rippled like water, and then turned into a silver stream of light, slowly merging into the main body!
"This this…"
Silverwing King stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.
His senior uncle was clearly not an immortal, so how could he have this clone? Could it be...?
He had a guess in his mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
Since he wasn't told directly, he didn't ask any more questions.
Chapter 58 Nightmare Candle King
Xingchen withdrew his hand, feeling the surging power within him, and nodded in satisfaction. He turned to look at the stunned Silverwing King and chuckled, "Surprised?"
Silverwing King then came to his senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Uncle's methods are truly unheard of."
"It's just a little trick."
The stars waved their hands.
"We should have some guests arriving soon."
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance. A boastful voice rang out from afar: "Star King! I know you're here, stop hiding! Come out and show yourself."
Xingchen raised an eyebrow and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Speak of the devil and he appears."
Silverwing King's expression turned serious: "Uncle-Master, do you need me to take action?"
Xingchen shook her head: "No need. This is my own business, you can just watch from the side."
As he spoke, he strode toward the direction from which the sound came.
Silverwing King hurriedly followed, but his heart was filled with turmoil. He vaguely sensed that this young martial uncle was probably much more terrifying than he appeared.
After turning several corners, Xingchen finally saw the legendary Nightmare Candle King, a handsome man in purple armor with long, flowing hair, who was leading five Marquis-level Immortals towards him with great momentum.
Upon seeing the stars, the Nightmare Candle King's eyes blazed with greed: "Star King! I've finally found you!"
Suddenly, his gaze shifted back a step.
This is the Silverwing King. What is he doing here?
Xingchen stood calmly in place and said indifferently, "Nightmare Candle King, I have long admired your name."
A fake smile appeared on Nightmare Candle King's face: "Star King, I've heard so much about you. I heard you had quite a few gains on the extraterritorial battlefield?"
Xingchen smiled gently, but her eyes remained calm: "King Yanzhu, you're too kind. It was just good luck. As for you, what brings you to this remote place?"
The two exchanged pleasantries, but beneath the surface, tensions were running high. The air around them seemed to freeze, and the powerful onlookers unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Hahaha!"
The Nightmare Candle King suddenly burst into laughter, his long purple hair moving without any wind.
"The Star King is indeed a man of few words. Then I'll speak frankly—"
He stepped forward, emanating a powerful aura: "I am very interested in the palace treasure in your possession."
Xingchen remained completely still, not even the hem of her clothes fluttered: "Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the Nightmare Candle King's eyes, but he quickly regained his arrogant demeanor: "I am willing to offer 50 trillion Chaos Units to buy it. This price is enough for you to make a fortune after you recover your divine body, how about it?"
There was a sound of people gasping for air all around.
"Fifty trillion!"
"As expected of the son of Venerable Fire Eclipse, he's incredibly generous..."
"Generous my ass! Are you fucking an idiot? Don't you know the value of such a treasure? That's a top-tier palace-class treasure, worth fifty trillion! Isn't this just robbery?"
Xingchen sneered inwardly.
You think you can buy top-tier palace-type treasures with 50 trillion? You must be out of your mind.
Xingchen shook her head slightly, still wearing that faint smile on her face, but her aura had become even colder: "Sorry, not for sale."
Nightmare Candle King's face darkened, and a cold light flashed in his purple eyes: "Star King, you should think this through. This price is already more than enough to give you face."
"face?"
Xingchen chuckled softly.
"King Nightmare Candle is joking. My Starry Sky Sect acts on its own; why should I need anyone else's face?"
These words were like a slap in the face to the Nightmare Candle King. The five Marquis-level Immortals behind him glared angrily, their divine power surging.
Seeing this, Silverwing King took a half step forward without making a sound and stood to the side and behind Star, ready to make a move at any time.
Nightmare Candle King raised his hand to stop his subordinates, suppressing his anger and forcing a smile: "Star King, why be so stubborn? How about this, I'll add another fifty trillion, making it one hundred trillion Chaos Units, how about that?"
One hundred trillion is already equivalent to a treasure point. He imagined that, out of respect for his father, Venerable Fire Erosion, the Star King would not dare to refuse to sell!
Xingchen's tone remained calm: "Nightmare Candle King, please leave. I won't buy this treasure. If your father comes and offers one or two Treasure Points, then I might consider it."
"you!"
The Nightmare Candle King finally couldn't hold back any longer, and flames roared up on his purple armor.
"Star King, don't push your luck! In this human territory, there are very few people who dare to disrespect me like this!"
Xingchen's gaze suddenly turned cold: "What, the deal fell through, so you're resorting to robbery?"
The air between the two seemed to freeze; the invisible clash of their auras distorted the surrounding space. The onlookers quickly retreated, afraid of being drawn into the conflict.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Gentlemen, this is a military base. Please restrain yourselves."
