Chapter 519: Chapter 416: Blood Mist Star Sea

"Kill every single one of them!"

"Tell me if you encounter any difficulties!"

Qi Ping’s tone was extremely calm, yet his voice still contained a terrifying and ultimate killing intent, akin to heavenly wrath that shook everyone.

"Yes, Star Master!"

The crowd replied in unison.

Ever since they chose to join the Star Sea Academy and completely revered Qi Ping, they automatically addressed him as the Star Master, becoming the undisputed emperor of the Star Sea Continent.

Now, Qi Ping was only a ceremony away from becoming the sole emperor of the Star Sea Continent.

At this moment, Wood Immortal Old Woman, Meng Tianqi, and others felt the increasingly dense aura of oppression emanating from Qi Ping, enhancing the awe in their hearts.

However, this awe was solely reserved for Qi Ping; beyond him, they remained astonishingly formidable figures, standing just below him but above billions.

This was true in terms of strength, status, and reputation.

After departing, they immediately discussed with Lin Yue how to mobilize the Cyan Divine Army to sweep across the remaining aristocratic families of the Star Sea Continent.

These families, deeply rooted and widespread across the Star Sea Continent, posed the greatest threat to the Nine Star Sea Realms.

These families possess a legacy and hidden resources accumulated over countless ages, capable of unleashing formidable power when provoked.

If not for the swift execution of the recent continent-level war, these families would have become a terrifying force derailing the Star Sea, and their unification would significantly damage the power of the Star Sea Continent instantly.

Even after Qi Ping and others completely swept through the Star Sea, they did not act against these people—not due to a lack of strength, but because of the excessive harm they could inflict if they went berserk.

Another reason is that Qi Ping and the others hoped for an opportunity to integrate these families into the Nine Domains of Star Sea, considering that they occupied almost half of the medium-tier cultivators of the Star Sea Continent, and not every family was utterly evil.

Qi Ping believed there should still be some wise individuals among them.

But judging by the current situation, Qi Ping had overestimated these people.

Because, until now, less than half have chosen to join the Nine Domains of Star Sea, mostly allowing only a portion of their clan members to join, while their core spirit veins and industries remained unchanged externally, unwilling to relinquish their occupied benefits.

The slaughter began swiftly.

After relocating the vast majority of loose cultivators into the Nine Domains of Star Sea, the family forces stationed outside the Nine Domains of Star Sea became easy targets for the Cyan Divine Army.

With all concerns eliminated, Qi Ping’s side directly confronted the families with evidence of their crimes....

....

"I once thought these families, having endured for so many years, must possess resilient life force; yet they turned out to be nothing more than a makeshift troupe!"

Qi Ping sighed as he looked at the messages and war reports delivered to him.

Despite his dislike for these people, they undoubtedly held a significant portion of the Star Sea Continent’s mid-to-high-tier combat power. If retained, Qi Ping hoped they could contribute key strength to the new era.

His current approach isn’t nakedly biased towards loose cultivators; the fair mechanism he established targets everyone, whether loose cultivators or aristocratic families, and even other races!

As long as one sincerely wishes to become a part of the Nine Domains of Star Sea, they will be granted shelter and opportunities for development—not just for the Human Race, but to turn all beings under the heavens into foundational stones for his home.

However, this incident revealed that the aristocratic families had already rotted to their core.

After deeper engagement with these people, the Cyan Divine Army discovered many within them harbored contemptuous views towards ordinary cultivators and even the Cyan Divine Army, considering their own ’noble bloodline’ superior, unlikely to be treated equally with ’lowly cultivators.’"

The inherent "innate nobility" made normal communication impossible for these people.

It’s not that these people weren’t strong; their accumulated heritage, tactics, and trump cards were incredibly powerful, handling issues like enslaving lower-tier cultivators, threat assessment and elimination, opportunity seizure, blood food production...and so forth with highly refined systems.

As long as there’s no external interference, they could steadily harvest any resource emerging within their domains, kill any potential threats, accurately locate suitable ’blood food’... with over half of these families operating in such manner.

From the depths of their hearts, they believed everything within their realm—opportunities, loose cultivators, beauties—were theirs, akin to a farm owner inspecting their pastures.

Under this mature harvesting system, any slight anomaly in an individual could quickly lead to capture and harvest by the ’Black Guard.’

Regarding feats like acting arrogant after obtaining an opportunity and earning recognition, they practically didn’t exist; any disciple showing slight anomalies in strength or battle power was precisely targeted.

A targeted disciple’s fate—whether to be recruited or have their resources seized—was determined based on further intelligence analysis.

Through this approach, most emerging opportunities and inheritances within each domain ultimately flowed into the hands of aristocratic families, becoming part of their heritage...
