Chapter 557: 249. Encirclement

The massive Void Boat broke through the violent waves, speeding towards the island hidden deep within the fog sea, amidst the storm of shaking space.

“Everyone, we are about to reach the lair of Flo’s pirate ship.”

The bald silver-robed man swept his gaze over everyone inside the Void Boat and said in a deep voice, “This fog sea will obscure perception and hide all traces. This is why Flo and his gang, though not very strong, have plundered until now without being eradicated. We must stop this group of pirates later and prevent them from escaping into the fog; otherwise, it will be very troublesome to track them down.”

The Order Keepers were all prepared, though a bit nervous.

Although the plan based on intelligence had a high success rate, unexpected situations could not be ruled out.

Many Order Keepers have died due to patrol missions.

However, most of the Order Keepers present were Void Creatures without much background and they could only rely on the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance’s channels for resources, treasures, and legacies.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take risks.

“Fog sea?”

At this moment, Lin Qing’s main focus was on guarding against the strong foes hidden in the dark, but he still paid a little attention to the fog sea island that harbored the pirate forces.

This task location was also his deliberate choice, as the fog sea made it easier to act.

As the Void Boat majestically broke through the layers of fog, a vast island of about several thousand kilometers in range finally appeared within the field of vision.

Suddenly, surging energy soared into the sky, and a large glow spread out, instantly enveloping most of the island in a dim light circle.

“This is…”

“Divine Artifact!”

“These bandits actually have a Divine Artifact?”

“Just a few millennia of plundering, and they could afford a Divine Artifact?”

“A Single-colored Divine Artifact would cost over a billion.”

Judging from the light circle encompassing the entire island, the power and aura were evidently formed by a Domain Type Divine Artifact.

Even a Single-colored Divine Artifact is a sky-high price beyond reach for more than 99.9% of Void Creatures. Earning several million Void Coins might take a lifetime, let alone over a billion.

Only those strong enough to self-create Three or Four Phases Divine Skills, and fortunate enough to join some major forces, could afford to save for millions of years to buy a Single-colored Divine Artifact.

However, a Single-colored Divine Artifact is not so important for strong beings on this level.

Hence, it’s extremely rare for Void Creatures to possess a Divine Artifact.

No wonder this group of Order Keepers with little background was both amazed and envious.

“Hmph, they do have a Single-colored Divine Artifact, seems they’ve amassed quite the wealth from plundering.”

The bald silver-robed man stood at the front of the Void Boat deck, his face icy cold. With a gesture, a dim destructive storm conjured out of thin air and then transformed into a pure black sharp blade slicing through the layers of void, striking the dim light circle.

Though he was reluctant to buy a Single-colored Divine Artifact, he had mastered this Void Wind secret technique and self-created a Four Phases Divine Skill, which made him quite powerful among Three Star Level Order Keepers.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have taken on this cleansing task with confidence.

“Boom—-”

As the storm sharp blade that cut through space directly tore the light shield formed by the Domain Divine Artifact, the Void Boat also burst into the island.

At the same time, with a flick of the silver-robed man’s hand, endless wild winds covered the void of several thousand kilometers.

“Act now!”

The moment the Void Boat vanished, the bald silver-robed man let out a low shout, transforming into a furious tornado flying towards the palace complex on the island.

In that palace complex, pirates were beginning to fly out and gather.

And most of the Order Keepers followed suit, flying towards the pirates according to the plan.

“Boom!”

The violent space storm suddenly erupted, turning the palace complex into powder in an instant, with a large number of pirates also turning into ashes.

Even a small portion of the diffuse power was hard to resist for Void Creatures who were not good at defense.

In an instant, over 80% of the pirates perished, leaving only a few struggling to hold on.

“Damn it!!”

With a roar that echoed across the island, a gray-haired man turned into a stream of light and flew out. Although the Dim Light Domain could not directly disperse the all-encompassing storm, it significantly weakened the power of this destructive Domain Divine Skill.

The remaining pirates felt a significant relief, temporarily not fearing for their lives.

However, after this move, over a hundred pirates perished, with only about twenty left.

As for the pirate leader Flo, who bore the brunt of this attack, though he endured ninety percent of the power, he only flew back several hundred kilometers without injury.

“Another Defense Divine Artifact?” The bald silver-robed man glanced at the opponent with some surprise.

Although his self-created Four Phases Divine Skill is a Flying Escape Divine Skill, the attached attack power is also comparable to a Three Phases Divine Skill.

The spatial mystery contained in the opponent’s earlier move was not very profound, at most two phases level, yet it could withstand his attack, clearly another Divine Artifact!

“Is plundering so rewarding?” The bald silver-robed man had an ominous premonition in his heart, “Just in a few millennia of plundering, could they afford two Divine Artifacts?”

Even with two Single-colored Divine Artifacts, they would still be worth two to three billion Void Coins.

Many strong individuals of his level, even after accumulating wealth for millions of years, might not have such holdings.

“Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance?”

The pirate leader Flo’s expression was extremely grim, giving a cold sweeping glance to the many subordinates behind him, “There must be a mole, or how could the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance have found this place?”
