The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1000: Observing Each Other

The Vampire King’s furious expression could not be contained, and he unconsciously released his aura. His powerful aura caused the surrounding space to become wobbly, and immense pressure fell upon the entire control room.

"That fucking bastard!" he growled as he walked out of the control room.

"Stop the vessel!" he ordered while leaving.

The vessel stopped a moment later, and when the other vessels saw the lead vessel halt, they also began to stop one by one. They had already sensed two figures ahead of the armada’s path and wondered who those two individuals were to make the lead vessel stop.

One of them seemed human, while the other was clearly a dragon in human form.

Normally, they would instantly kill anyone who stood in their path without stopping. However, their king had ordered the vessel to halt, prompting the rest to do the same.

Some commanders from different vessels wondered about what had happened, and they wanted to leave their vessels to see for themselves.

As the armada stopped, Aldrian and Ao Tianhai observed them. The fact that they had stopped meant the Vampire King could see him, which caused that angry father to halt his vessel.

Aldrian had already expected the devils to arrive with a large army. The vision described by Angelica was enough for him to imagine how massive the devil troops were

However, seeing them directly gave a different sensation. The large number of massive interstellar vessels filling the space in front of him was truly intimidating. It was as if there were no end to the lines of vessels stretching into the distance. Aldrian estimated the number of the devil troops might reach hundreds of billions or even trillions.

If this army were to truly invade the Ancient Blue Gate World, it would surely turn into a disaster. Although the Ancient Blue Gate World had many strong cultivators, their numbers were too much for them to contain.

Even the entire central star cluster would fall into chaos if this large army began to spread across other worlds.

That was why he had to stop them here, right before they could move deeper into the star cluster.

"They surely sent many insects here. Ah, I really want to crush them all. After being sealed for who knows how long, I feel like I want to warm my muscles, Your Majesty," Ao Tianhai commented.

"I know you are excited, but at this moment, your true cultivation is sealed. This number of enemies could endanger you if you fight them recklessly. You might kill many of them, but their numbers are their weapon. They will overwhelm you," Aldrian replied.

If Ao Tianhai had his true cultivation, facing this number of armies would be easy. He would not even need to lift a finger to kill them. A single breath alone would be enough to obliterate this many troops.

To a god, mortals were not even insects. They were like specks of dust. They were nothing before divine beings.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I just said what was inside my mind without much thought, but I can still think clearly. I know that I cannot use most of my powers, so I also know that I cannot underestimate them," Ao Tianhai said.

Aldrian smiled slightly. "Good, but you might have your chance later, so be prepared."

They then finally saw someone come out from the lead interstellar vessel, and that figure was followed by several others. The moment Aldrian saw who this figure was, he smirked.

He had finally met one of the four overlords of the central region of heaven. The one who was given control over the southern territory of the First Heaven by his higher-ups, or even by Tarius himself, as the vampire king’s jurisdiction.

The Vampire King, Virusius van Reinfer.

’Virusius van Reinfer. His true cultivation is at Immortal Saint stage, so it is safe to say that he has reached the top of the pyramid of the Second Heaven,’ Aldrian thought after reading the Vampire King’s information through the system.

He also looked at the people behind the Vampire King, and all of them were cultivators who had come from the higher heavens.

As Aldrian and Ao Tianhai observed the Vampire King and his group, the Vampire King and his group also observed Aldrian and Ao Tianhai.

Although at this moment he was truly furious after finally meeting his son’s killer, he could still think clearly and did not simply dash forward to try to kill Aldrian. The first thing he did was observe Aldrian, and he had to admit that he was astonished deep inside.

He had thought that Aldrian was at least at the Pseudo Immortal stage, considering how Aldrian had sent a powerful karmic attack that was enough to endanger him.

But to think that Aldrian was still only a Pseudo Immortal Establishment stage cultivator. And he was even in the middle realm of that stage.

Did that not mean that he, the Vampire King, had been harboring vengeance all this time over a mere Pseudo Immortal Establishment stage cultivator? The source of all his wrath was actually caused by a mere Immortal Establishment stage cultivator?

An existence that should be like an ant before him could make him, the great king, feel this way?

The veins on his forehead and neck bulged more visibly as he felt he had been played by his own judgment. But then confusion settled in as he finally noticed a problem.

"If he is only a Pseudo Immortal Establishment stage cultivator, how could he destroy the manifestation of my spiritual sense and send that powerful karmic attack? If he is only at the Pseudo Immortal Establishment stage, there is no way he could withstand even the power of my spiritual sense manifestation." The Vampire King thought.

Then there was also a dragon beside Aldrian. He did not know what kind of dragon it was, but he could not help feeling a certain pressure coming from it. His soul even gave off a sensation that made him want to revere that dragon.

This single sensation alone was enough to shock him even more.

How was it possible for this dragon to make him feel this way?

He suddenly remembered a moment from the past when he had felt a similar sensation. Back then, when he stood upon the altar and his god communicated with him, even though he could not see his god, he could clearly feel how his soul instinctively worshiped that presence.

It had felt as though it was only natural for him to prostrate himself before that existence and its aura.

And now, as he approached that dragon, he felt more or less the same sensation.

How could that be? Who was this dragon?

Yet despite what he felt, he resisted that sensation and forced it aside. He continued approaching Aldrian and finally stopped a few kilometers away from him.

Silence followed as both sides merely looked at each other. But in the end, the Vampire King was the first to speak.

"You... are you the bastard who killed my son?"

Aldrian smiled when he heard the question. "What do you think?"

Hearing that answer, the Vampire King no longer needed confirmation. He had already confirmed that this person was truly the one who killed his son. He gritted his teeth as his oppressive aura leaked into the surroundings. Space trembled, and even those near him began to retreat, unwilling to be affected by the Vampire King’s wrath.

Aldrian suddenly stretched out his hand, and another figure appeared in his grasp. It was a man in a haggard and shabby condition. At first, the man’s eyes were dull and lifeless, but they quickly cleared as he realized he was no longer in the same place.

He had been inside his cell just a moment ago, and now he was in open space.

But he instantly saw what was in front of him, and the moment his gaze fell upon the Vampire King, his soul trembled as fear instantly gripped him.

"Your Majesty?" he blurted out unconsciously before immediately falling silent.

The Vampire King was also stunned when another figure suddenly appeared in Aldrian’s grasp, but then he finally recognized the figure.

"Xarz? You are still alive?" he asked.

Xarz, frozen in fear, did not answer. He did not know what to do. If he chose the wrong words, he would likely die right here. Aldrian was behind him, and the Vampire King was before him.

"Do you know that thanks to this man, I was able to get your son so easily?" Aldrian suddenly said, causing Xarz’s heart to turn cold. "I am truly thankful that he sold Rulleus to me in exchange for his own life."

The Vampire King froze for a moment before his aura erupted.

"XARZ!" he roared. His crimson aura burst outward violently and swept toward Aldrian.

However, Aldrian easily shielded them with a spatial barrier that protected them from the bloody aura. The aura itself was extremely dangerous as he could sense powerful curse laws embedded within it.

He was quite impressed, because even with just his aura, the Vampire King could kill someone at the same cultivation level as himself.

One of Rulleus’ women, who had become one of the commanders, gritted her teeth and looked at the Vampire King.

"Your Majesty, please let me bring all of their heads to you. I will avenge His Highness’s death," she said.

The Vampire King did not answer immediately and continued to stare at Aldrian with a fierce expression.

He himself wanted to move personally, as he was close to losing his mind under the weight of his fury. However, after thinking it through, it would be better to first test what these people were capable of.

Only after a few seconds did he finally speak.

"Bring their heads to me."

Hearing the order, the woman’s eyes glistened as she bowed. "I will bring their heads to you." After that, she flew toward Aldrian with a cruel smile.

She was a vampire, but she also wielded a sword as she unsheathed it from its scabbard.

"I can finally avenge His Highness myself, you bastard who doesn’t know the immensity between heaven and earth!" she shouted fiercely at Aldrian.

She was not deterred by Ao Tianhai, even though she felt the same unsettling sensation that the Vampire King had felt. She continued to approach them regardless.

Her fury was far greater and at this moment, she only wanted to kill.

Her smile turned crazy as her sword suddenly turned crimson. Her figure dissolved into red mist, which rapidly surrounded Aldrian.

"I will enjoy torturing you, so please don’t die too easily," her voice echoed within the thick mist.

However, not even two seconds after that bold declaration, Ao Tianhai merely swept his hand.

A split second later, blood splattered everywhere, and a small portion of the mist condensed into the shape of a head that flew to the side.
