Chapter 3407: Void Clan

"The journey would take about three hours. Everyone could return to their rooms to rest or chat with each other to facilitate cooperation later," Pena said as she nodded toward the ship’s captain, Erko. "Let’s begin."
Erko raised his hand to signal.
"Destination: End of the Void. Set sail."
The ship trembled slightly and then began to slowly accelerate through the galaxy, heading toward the central region of the Endless Domain.
The space in the Endless Domain differed greatly from the outside world.
The ship’s high-speed travel was not through spatial transmission, a common method outside the Endless Domain, but by a special slipstream technique that greatly increased its speed.
The ship’s streamlined design was also intended to increase speed through the galaxy.
Three hours later, the ship gradually slowed down.
After a brief rest, the aliens returned one after another to gather in the main control room.
As the ship neared the periphery of the End of the Void, the outer starry space became increasingly unstable. Through the windows, bursts of twisted light occasionally blossomed in the dark galaxy ahead.
"That is a small spatial explosion," Pena explained to the gathered aliens. "The closer to the central Endless Domain, the more unstable the space becomes. These explosions are common. Don’t worry, they only occur after power has accumulated for some time, and we can avoid them in advance."
Fang Heng continued observing outside.
Besides vast areas of darkness, he also saw floating platforms in the galaxy, each supporting rows of factory buildings.
Many small ships quickly zipped through the galaxy, working in groups to drag variously sized dark meteorites out of the void, shuttling back and forth between the land platforms.
"This area mostly belongs to the rule of the Five Kings of Gods. The outside world also calls it the mining area," Zane whispered to Fang Heng. "The periphery of the End of the Void is unstable, but meteorite fragments often drift out. They vary in size and are very numerous. With luck, you can extract black crystal dust and black crystal ore from them."
The ship, named Silent Shadow, did not stop in the mining area but skillfully avoided spatial turbulence and the mining vessels, continuing deeper into the Endless Domain.
After another half hour, the ship fully left the mining area.
The ship slowed again until it stopped completely, and the gates on both sides opened.
"Everyone," Pena’s voice sounded inside the cabin, attracting everyone’s attention.
"Two kilometers ahead is the peripheral End of the Void. The Silent Shadow cannot proceed further."
The aliens in the main control room stood up and looked through the windows.
A faint blue barrier covered the dark galaxy ahead, and beyond the barrier lay absolute darkness.
Everyone’s view was blocked by this layer of shield.
"Our destination, the End of the Void, lies beyond this barrier. The barrier is formed by spatial strength combined with condensed Void Power. It has a strong dissolving effect on all kinds of energy. It is recommended to break it using physical strength," Pena said as she stared at the blue barrier enveloping the End of the Void.
"The void crystals you seek lie just beyond this barrier, but be cautious. Approaching the barrier will trigger sensing by the Void Clan, who may attack you at any time."
"Hmph, what’s there to fear? The Void Clan? Never heard of them. Watch me crush their heads with a single punch!"
A tall alien grew impatient, snorted coldly, and was the first to leave the control room. He leapt into the galaxy and quickly approached the barrier.
Fang Heng examined the outer blue barrier, surprise flickering in his eyes.
That was a bit exaggerated.
The blue barrier covered an enormous area, encompassing the entire End of the Void domain visible to him. Even with his alchemy skills, he couldn’t create such a massive spatial shield.
Was it created by the Void Clan?
"Let’s go, we’ll follow," Fang Heng said, watching as the aliens in the control room flew toward the barrier. He nodded slightly and, together with Zane and the others, entered the galaxy, slowly following at the back of the group.
Pena did not move but stayed in the control room, watching Fang Heng’s group enter the galaxy from a distance.
Nearby, Captain Erko said, "Do you really trust the Ouroboros so much?"
"There is considerable hope. Besides, whether we succeed or not, there is no loss for us, right?"
"Hmph, you truly lose nothing. Our lord’s auction house suffered heavy losses."
"To be frank, compared to the void crystals, the auction house’s losses are insignificant to your master," Pena said. "I believe this expedition will be fruitful."
"Is that so?"
"I believe you won’t be disappointed."
Erko frowned, "They are coming."
In the distant galaxy,
The aliens transformed into streaks of light and rapidly approached the light screen.
Two Greyrock Clan members at the front of the group just reached the blue barrier when spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared at the right side of one’s body.
What?!
The Greyrock Clan member’s heart skipped a beat.
"Whoosh!!"
A figure emerged from the space beside the Greyrock Clan member.
The newcomer’s body was covered in blue mysterious star patterns, holding a prism-shaped spike also covered in blue star patterns, which stabbed at him with great speed.
Void Clan!
"Hmph!"
The Greyrock Clan warrior, skilled in melee combat, snorted coldly and dodged the prism spike, countering with a punch.
"Chi!"
The prism spike grazed the Greyrock Clan member’s body first.
"What!?"
The Greyrock Clan was horrified.
His body was made of hard stone, and their clan was known for terrifying defense. He thought the graze would cause limited damage, but the area touched by the prism spike seemed to dissolve, disappearing by half.
"Bang!!"
His punch struck empty air.
The Void Clan member vanished into the void after the attack.
"Whoosh!!!"
A three-eyed alien with strong perception flew over, swinging a dark blade at the side of the Greyrock Clan warrior.
"Chi!!"
The blade sliced through the air, tearing a long black rift in the galaxy’s space.
"Huh?"
The three-eyed alien made a soft sound of surprise.
The attack had failed.
Although perception had locked the target, the spatial blade could not hit the hidden Void Clan.
Faint ripple patterns appeared in the space, and the black rift quickly healed itself.
