Our group left the area and was immediately followed by a thousand or so cultivators of the Blue Sun, leaving the majority split between the twelve cities, not to enter but simply to guard on top of the walls.

I informed them to not mingle with the people of the Sea of Demons as soldiers, and to not cause any trouble. If they wish to procure or purchase anything then they're more than welcome, but no one is allowed to use their authority given by the blue sun in her region and try and apply it here. They're in a foreign land, so act as such.

They didn't grumble or refuse and were more than welcoming to the idea. Quite the sensible people.

I rode inside my ship and flew forward while carrying the entire group of cultivators inside the chambers of the ship. This way we won't be delayed or lose any time getting to the Red Sun's borders.

And it was frankly quite faster since a lot of Origin Shattering Cultivators were tasked with providing protection against the rain to the rest of the lower rank cultivators or else they'd lose their ability to fly if affected.

The Ship itself was fortified with my own creation, a formation that I applied some time ago to protect against the atmosphere of the Sea of Demons and it was working great in fending off the rain.

We arrived to the border of the Red Sun in less than a couple hours after having floored the 'gas' pedal.

Once we arrived, the Blue Sun was already waiting for us, she wasn't wearing her normal blue dress but rather an armored version of it and a gigantic hammer behind her that was easily three times her own size and more than a thousand times her weight. However she didn't even look like she was carrying a feather.

"You're early," she said as I jumped off the ship.

"I guess not early enough to have had you waiting for me," I replied jokingly.

"Flirting already?" Tao Yang gave me the eye as she walked down the ship dressed in her golden armored attire that she had almost lost her life in at the Bastion.

The Blue Sun smiled at her saying, "Graceful as always," she said praising Tao Yang.

"Likewise, you're as elegant in formal attire as you are in war attire."

The two of them gave each other compliments and continued talking while I got nudged by Dao She. "I wonder what YuYu and Liang Yu might say if they see this," he smirked at me.

"Nothing is going on," I shrugged "Anyway, Old Fu are you ready?"

"I was born ready, I guess that's the term young people nowadays say," he flashed me a wide smile.

"Then let's go," the Blue Sun said as she waved her arm, breaking the very fabric of space and linking two sections of it, from the rim of the Red Sun's borders, all the way to the Thunder Domain.

A distance that would require me years to reach if I were to try and fly there. But a Sun would only need to bend the laws of space to make both points of space present at the same area.

"Let's use the Ship, it's more comfortable," I said as I hopped inside and the Blue Sun followed us along with a few more cultivators that came with her.

Once we were all inside I took over and flew the ship forward, while The Blue Sun didn't even sit as she was interested in the technical parts of the ship asking question after question on how everything works, and how I managed to fit everything inside the small sized ship.

Though I'm sure she could produce the same results if she tried hard enough, but I guess she wanted to ask these questions to stroke my ego and make me feel accomplished. Not that I needed her words, but it was nice hearing compliments anyways.

The ship went through the portal and we soon arrived to the rim of the Thundering Domain. And she was right, the fog had cleared up and the clouds had risen considerably allowing perfect visibility.

Massive amounts of broken Soulsteel of all colors were spread all over the area.

"These are parts of the outer barrier of the Bastion, it was a massive ring that rotated around the bastion protecting it from external dangers and what dwells in space. Once we crashed the ring broke apart into these shards I would assume," Tao Yang said as she recognized the pieces.

We continued moving until we arrived to the entrance of the Bastion and landed the ship there.

"By the way," Tao Yang asked, "How did you guys even manage to open it in the first place?"

"Oh, good question," I said, "We didn't, but a guy that accompanied me managed to press something on the door and the entire thing opened up, I don't know how he did that," I replied.

"Strange, because this door should only open if touched by a royal, do you remember how he opened it?" she asked.

"I guess he pressed somewhere here," I said as I pointed at a certain part of the door. Looking at the inscription and a small droplet of dried blood that definitely came out of Law's finger, I recognized the pattern.

"Hah," Tao Yang laughed, "I thought he might actually be someone from my people that managed to survive and arrive here, but I guess not," she shook her head.

"I don't understand, what do you mean?" The Blue Sun asked.

"This pattern" I said as I just finished making the full picture in my head, "It's basically what allows the recognition of a Solarous person, and Law somehow managed to perfectly drop just enough blood for it to get blocked, he basically cut the circuit that identifies the blood and managed to brute force the entire structure with sheer absurd luck, the moment that the blood had touched it, it opened the door and the pressure difference sucked us in, then the door recognized the error and shut back down…"

"So, dumb luck?"

"Absolute dumb luck," I replied.

Tao Yang smiled and began pressing on several parts of the door then bit her thumb and sprayed some blood on the door's central section. The entire thing slowly opened up revealing the entrance.

"There's Qi inside," I said.

"That's good, the reactors must be working great," she said.

"By the way, how are we going to retrieve the Bastion I asked."

Though it was a bit late asking this question right now… it was still better late than never.

"Well, the Bastion still is 'alive' thanks to my father's sacrifice, all we need now is to give it energy.

The reactors we fixed are now able to activate the bastion to about twenty percent of its ability, if we can fix the entire thing it'll be able to fly. And we can take it all the way to the Sea of Demons to act as a proper bastion. After all, it is pretty powerful."

"I never saw any weapons," I said.

"That's because it has no weapons, but it is a great trap once it has enough energy, you can lure in enemies then use the Soulsteel to crush them."

"I don't think that's a good idea, remember what happened the last time you tried that," I said.

There was an awkward silence, after all if it was such a great trap why would the entire Solarous race die.

"It was because we didn't know we had intruders among us until it was too late", she justified.

I wasn't convinced.

"Well, let's clear it out first, then once we fix the reactors we'll see what we can do with the bastion."

"I agree," the Blue Sun said, "So, how about we do a little competition," she asked.

"What sort?" I replied in question.

"Let's see who kills the most enemies," she did as she placed the gigantic hammer next to her in a loud thud.

"That's quite the unfair offer," I said, "After all, you're a sun stage," I shrugged.

"I'll limit my cultivation level to Void Shattering realm, now you have no excuse to say no," she grinned.

"What does the winner get if they win?" I questioned.

"Hmm, one request from the lose, whatever they want," she said.

"That is a very dangerous gamble," Tao Yang said, "But I'll also join in," she said.

"You hear that!" the Blue Sun said to the rest of the cultivators that joined us inside the ship. "If any of you manages to kill more rakshasa than I, then I'll satisfy any of their requests. I'll be limiting my cultivation to Void Shattering, you can use your cultivation base as you see fit!" she shouted.

"Also, she said at me, "You're not allowed to use your toys. Your cultivation base and your base only, cold weapons are not an issue," she said.

"Tough condition, what if I encounter a Silver Rakshasa?" I asked.

"Then you're on your own, I saw you fight against one head to head before you reached Void Shattering so I trust you can manage," she said.

"Right, then I truly have no excuse then," I said as I pulled out Creeping Demise.

"I also want to join in, cultivation base only," Dao Shen said.

"Same here, these old muscles have grown too lazy, they need to work for their keep."

"Good, good, Now let's get killing!" The Blue Sun said as she rushed forward.
