408: Chapter 408 The Ancient Star Clan Appears

y D_ "The space portal has been damaged, its Rank has decreased, high-stage cannot enter!"

This was the last miserable shriek let out by that foreign race member.

Because of the language barrier, Lu Zheng and General Bu Keer could not understand it at all. Moreover, these words were not meant for them, but for the other side of the space portal.

Meanwhile, on a massive planet in the Universe, within a place surrounded by lingering Spiritual Qi and overlapping mountain ranges—looking like a fairyland on earth—several powerful gazes converged.

Innumerable terrifying auras emerged in the surrounding area.

The weakest among them, if they stepped outside, would be powerful enough to shatter a planet with a single hand. With their sole strength, they could turn the sun and moon upside down and force countless galaxies to submit.

This place was home to one of the great clans of the Starry Sky Ancient Clan.

This planet was merely one of this ancient clan's strongholds.

The attention of all these entities was focused on that space portal.

An ancient clan member whose strength had reached Tier 4 High-stage was currently stepping slowly into the portal, carrying the expectations of his Family.

"I, Monroe, will absolutely prove myself. I am the strongest Prodigy."

"I will bring the glory of my clan into that Ancestral Land."

"With the Ancestor's Luck, I shall forge my path of invincibility."

Monroe said resolutely. Under countless satisfied and approving gazes, he slowly stepped into the space portal. Behind him, several eager ancient clan youths were already waiting impatiently to enter.

That was the Ancestral Land.

An Opportunity that only came once every hundred thousand years.

Every native born in that Ancestral Land possessed the Ancestral Land's Luck on them. As long as they were killed, the Ancestral Land's Luck on their bodies would transfer to them.

Every shred of the Ancestral Land's Luck was extremely powerful, enough to make countless people forge ahead and fight each other for it.

The stronger one's Luck, the further their path ahead would be.

Opportunity, strength, and Luck were all inextricably linked to one's Luck.

Even a hundred thousand years ago, an ancient clan member who emerged from the Ancestral Land and achieved Major Achievement in Luck had now become one of the most powerful existences in the starry sky.

Therefore, Luck was the very thing these ancient clans fought each other for.

That was why they could not wait to consume endless resources to open a portal to the Ancestral Land at the very first moment, simply to obtain Luck in the shortest time possible.

"This kid Monroe has decent strength, reaching the high stage of Tier 4 at just eight years old."

"However, compared to the top prodigies, this talent of his is still far lacking."

"Still, a strength of Tier 4 High-stage is enough to battle the Saints of other ancient clans and other forces in the Ancestral Land at this moment."

"Consuming such vast resources is only so that our clan can once again give birth to an existence of that Realm. For this, we would not hesitate to pay any price."

Unknown existences were conversing.

"Indeed. The Ancestral Land contains great opportunities. If this Ancestral Land had not been surrounded and hunted down by us long ago, the existences emerging from it might have grown to our level."

"But now, everything in this Ancestral Land will become ours, yielding the same result as hundreds of thousands of years ago."

"In the Ancestral Land, every existence would be like a Genius in the outside world. If they were given enough time to grow, this Ancestral Land would once again develop into one of the greatest forces in the starry sky."

It had only been a year or two since the Spiritual Energy Revival in the Ancestral Land, yet there were already Tier 4 existences. Meanwhile, that Monroe from just now had been cultivating for five years since he was three years old, and with countless resources poured into him, he had only reached the high stage of Tier 4.

So it was no wonder these unknown existences marveled at the talent of the creatures born in the Ancestral Land.

But all of this had been suppressed.

In that Ancestral Land, for millions of years, no living being had been able to walk out of the Ancestral Land alive from their encirclement and slaughter.

Once every hundred thousand years, the Ancestral Land would initiate a Spiritual Energy Revival and evolution.

It was the Ancestral Land's final means and Opportunity to break through the encirclement.

For the Starry Sky Ancient Clan, however, this was a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years Opportunity—an Opportunity to collect the Ancestral Land's Luck and become invincible.

As Monroe entered, many of the watching gazes also carried a hint of relief.

As long as one stepped into the space portal, there was a ninety percent chance of success.

However, in the next moment, just when all the entities thought success was imminent, Monroe's miserable shriek echoed back.

"The space portal has been damaged, its Rank has decreased, high-stage cannot enter!"

After the shriek, there was no longer any aura or sound.

An ancient clan elder responsible for the space portal had an ugly expression on his face at this moment.

"Monroe's life force has vanished, swept into the endless Void Realm."

His voice carried a hint of anger, because Monroe was not only a Genius of his ancient clan, but also his descendant.

"Damn it!"

Many entities felt a surge of anger at this moment. They were angry not because of Monroe's death, but because they had only opened this single space portal. The occurrence of this situation meant that the gap between them and the other ancient clans would widen.

If others could send in high-stages while they could only send in mid-tiers, the gap between them would only grow larger and larger.

But there was nothing they could do now; they could only swallow their bitter resentment. For the time being, they did not have enough resources and time to open another one.

Was the damage to the space portal a coincidence, or did the natives of the Ancestral Land know how to destroy the portal?

However, millions of years had passed, so it was normal for the natives of the Ancestral Land to have mastered this.

Many entities murmured in their hearts.

"High-stage cannot enter, but everything else is normal."

As a voice sounded, a young ancient clan member at the Peak of Tier 4 Elementary-stage prepared to enter the space portal. Coincidentally, among these youths, only Monroe had been the strongest.

The others were merely at the Peak of Tier 4 Elementary-stage or the Peak of Tier 3.

The role Monroe played among them was not only that of an Opportunity seeker, but also a Guardian, protecting the other ancient clan members.

And the plan of these ancient clan members was to make a Breakthrough immediately after stepping into the Ancestral Land, as only this would be the most cost-effective.

As for Monroe's death, it only caused a small commotion.

"Wait. Just to be safe, let a mid-tier go in. Our ancient clan can still afford this price."

A voice suddenly rang out and quickly gained the agreement of the other entities. A youth at the Peak of Mid-Tier Fourth Order soon appeared and subsequently stepped into the portal.

Originally, this youth did not have this chance and held no hope, but by coincidence, he happened to have come along with his parents, and his strength was precisely at the Peak of Tier 4.

Immense Luck had fallen upon him, causing many people to feel envy and jealousy.

Being at the Peak of the mid-tier would not trigger a backlash from the space portal, and he could also break through to Tier 4 High-stage immediately upon entering, which could be considered compensation for the previous loss of Monroe.

It was not that the ancient clan would not let their true prodigies enter, but rather because the current strength of these prodigies had already broken through to the sixth or even seventh order, making it impossible for them to enter at all.

They could only wait until the Spiritual Energy Revival in the Ancestral Land was initiated once more before they could enter again.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the space, Lu Zheng and General Bu Keer had also guessed the reason for the sudden change just now.
