Chapter 2537 The Patriarch Appears

Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air with his hands resting on his back as he looked at the enormous castle indifferently. The castle belonged to one of the ten most influential families in the Milky Way, the Barker family from Planet Lissa.

Duan Ling Tian was capable of destroying the castle with just a flick of his hand, but he stopped himself from doing so. Ever since he heard that the Barker family was one of the ten most influential families in the galaxy and possessed one of the most advanced technologies in the galaxy, an idea had sprung up in his mind. If everything went as planned, it would bring a seismic-like change to earth. Most importantly, his homeland, Hua, would become one of the top forces in the Milky Way if his plan worked. For this reason, he did not immediately destroy the Barker family.

“I’m here!” Tang Xiao Xiao said. She had brought Long Zhen Guo and his companions with her and supported them as they hovered in the air. If she had withdrawn her power, these people would undoubtedly plummet to the ground. Unless they fall into the sea, they would lose their limbs even if they did not die from the fall.

At the same time, a few fleets of flying vehicles rose into the air in front of the castle. The vehicles were moving toward Duan Ling Tian like a black flood that covered up half the sky. The pilots of the vehicles were all high-ranking members of the Barker family. The one in the lead was none other than the patriarch of the Barker family!

The patriarch of the Barker family was in a vehicle that looked like a speed boat. He came to halt, keeping a reasonably wide distance from Duan Ling Tian as though he was afraid of crossing an invisible boundary. An affable smile could be seen on his face as he spoke through a speaker he had brought with him, “Good day, sir. I’m Leylin, the patriarch of the Barker family. If I’m not mistaken, none of the members of the Barker family has ever offended you, right?”

Since the purple-clad young man managed to avoid the Barker family’s radar detection, it was obvious the purple-clad young man was not an ordinary cultivator. If it was possible, Leylin, the patriarch of the Barker family, did not want to provoke the ire of a powerful cultivator. It would not be difficult for them to maim the powerful cultivator, but killing him might prove difficult. It would be a real problem if they could not kill him. After all, it would be a challenge for the family to constantly guard their enterprises or properties, considering how far their influence reached, if the cultivator decided to seek revenge.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Leylin with cold indifference as he calmly said, “The patriarch of the Barker family? Well, a few decades ago, a group of your family members traveled to a star system called the solar system. They went to earth, the only planet that was teeming with life. I want you to summon the leader of the expedition now.” He spoke in a tone that brooked no argument. It sounded as though he was giving Leylin a command.

When the members of the Barker family saw Duan Ling Tian’s condescending attitude when speaking to their patriarch, they were, naturally, displeased and filled with dissatisfaction. They glared at Duan Ling Tian with eyes that were burning with rage.

“Is this how he’s going to talk to our patriarch?”

“Damn this little piece of garbage! Our patriarch is being courteous to you! Don’t take it for granted!”

They continued to voice their dissatisfaction and pelt Duan Ling Tian with curses when suddenly, Duan Ling Tian, the object of their anger, barked, “Shut up!”

Duan Ling Tian’s voice sounded like a landmine being detonated, easily drowning out the voices of the members of the Barker family. “I’m talking to your patriarch. It’s not your place to talk. Did I allow any of you to speak? Impudent fools!”

Duan Ling Tian did not make any movements when he spoke. However, to the horror of the members of the Barker family, they discovered their left arms had been neatly severed at the shoulder. The wounds were smooth as though an extremely sharp knife had been used to sever their arms.

“Aaahhh!”

“No!!!”

The air was filled with the bloodcurdling cries and screaming from the members of the Barker family in just an instant. All of them scrambled to catch their left arms before pressing it back against their wounds and drinking a potion that gleamed with a blue light. In just a few moments, their left arms were completely reattached, looking as though it had never been severed at all.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by this. Tang Xiao Xiao had informed him that some of the most advanced civilizations had invented a special genetic serum that could heal physical injuries. One would be able to reattach one’s dismembered limb if one drank the potion within a short time.

Although Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao remained indifferent to this, the same could not be said for Long Zhen Guo and his warriors.

“This…”

“That genetic medicine is… amazing!”

“Even the best genetic medicine on earth would take at least half a month to heal such a severe injury! However, their medicine healed them in just a blink of an eye!”

Long Zhen Guo and his warriors saw the shock and awe in each other’s eyes when they exchanged a look.

…

Meanwhile, the patriarch and the high-ranking members of the Barker family and the inhabitants of Planet Lissa who were watching this live were utterly dumbstruck.

“How… How the hell did he do that?”

“His speed is unbelievable! In just a blink of an eye, he severed the left arms of all the ten members of the Barker family!”

“Is his speed faster than the speed of light?”

The inhabitants of Planet Lissa who were watching this quickly spread word about this. It did not take long before everyone on Planet Lissa learned of what happened after the Barker family drew the ire of a powerful cultivator.

Someone who knew a thing or two about cultivators began to speak about them.

“Cultivators are those who absorb the spirit energy in their environment to refine and strengthen themselves until they attain power. Once their cultivation bases reach a certain level, they would possess god-like powers!”

“I heard that there are many other galaxies beyond the Milky Way. These galaxies are ruled by these cultivators!”

“I’ve heard from an interplanetary merchant that some of these cultivators are a match for a Disaster-level Battleship!”

This information began to spread on the web, shocking the inhabitants of Planet Lissa.

“A Disaster-level Battleship? That’s the product of SS-level scientific civilizations! Even the most advanced civilization in our Milky Way is only at the A-level. I don’t think there are any Disaster-level Battleships in our galaxy!”

“If a person is a match for a Disaster-level Battleship, doesn’t it mean that person can single-handedly destroy every civilization in the Milky Way?!”

“Holy sh*t! This is terrifying!”

Gloom and apprehension dawned on them as their outlook turned grim.

On one forum on the internet, someone posted a post with the title, ‘Everyone! What if this cultivator is one of those who have strength comparable to a Disaster-level Battleship?’

The number of views grew at an alarming rate, attracting many comments.

“I think the original poster is being paranoid!”

“Disaster-level Battleships exist only in legends! This means cultivators who have strength comparable to the battleships are only a myth as well. There’s no way they would appear in the Milky Way!”

“I agree with the person who said the original poster is an idiot.”

Most of the comments echoed these sentiments. Nonetheless, the topic attracted many people’s attention and blew up in just a short time.

…

Meanwhile, the Surveillance Division in the Barker family was frantically trying to analyze a specific video. They kept slowing down the speed of the video where one member of the family’s left arm was severed. They were trying to figure out what Duan Ling Tian had done by slowing the video down. They were unaware that their efforts were all in vain.

“Patriarch, we’ve slowed down the video to the best of our ability. However, we didn’t see what had severed Elder Bhouli’s left arm.” Leylin received this message from the Surveillance Division through his communication device. When the full gravity of the situation dawned on him, his expression darkened. “Search! Get to your feet and search right now! Who’s the one who brought men to the solar system and to earth a few decades ago!” A furious voice blared through the speakers of the communication devices owned by the members of the Barker family. “When you people find that culprit, tell that little punk to see me!”

The Barker family stiffened at the command.

At this moment, a young man wearing a silver business suit who was standing at the back of the crowd suddenly spoke up. “Uncle.” He drove his flying vehicle to Leylin’s side. His head was lowered as he said, “It was me. I brought some of our men to earth in the solar system.”

As soon as the young man appeared, Long Zhen Guo cried out, “It’s him!” He pointed at the young man as he said, “A few decades ago, he brought his people to Earth and gifted us with a few hundred years of advanced technology. He’s also the one who restricted the advancement of aeronautical and space technology on earth!”
