Chapter 412 - 338: Completing the Stone Coffin, Celestial Craft Immortal Realm (Part 2)
This is a Life Star!
Unfortunately, the earth veins are broken, and the Star Array is as thin as paper, shattering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Terrifying Spiritual Qi from the Star Space begins to madly surge in, countless creatures’ bodies swell and instantly explode, scattering blood and flesh.
In almost an instant, the world falls into dead silence.
The more terrifying part is yet to come, in the northern direction of this star, a large section of the crust collapses frantically, innumerable ice turns into vapor in an instant, and a figure far larger than Kunlun Mountain slowly crawls out from within.
This is a two-headed fiend very similar to the Guardian Ape Divine General. It raises its head to the starry sky, constantly pounding its chest and howling fiercely, with a ferocious face tinged with a hint of reluctance.
Yet, more prominently, there is excitement.
It bends its knees, and in an instant, accompanied by towering and terrifying black light, it soars up, rushing into the depths of the dark and profound starry sky...
Zhang Kui knows, a Star Beast, or a Starry Sky Evil God has been born.
It uses its Life Star as a cradle, more precisely a springboard, just like a chick breaking out of its shell, devouring it, from then on traversing and battling across the Star Sea.
Perhaps, it will also spread faith, like the Dark God, plotting the reincarnation of other Life Stars, annihilating countless lives.
Is this the reality of this cosmos...
Watching the continually tearing and shattering star remnants, Zhang Kui feels a chill throughout his body, his mood heavy.
Yet the matter isn’t over.
Soon after, a heavenly horn sound and brilliant light suddenly erupt in the Star Space.
Zhang Kui is astonished, the Star Space cannot transmit sound, even when the terrifying star shattered earlier, it all happened silently, how is there a sound now.
But then he witnesses a wondrous scene.
A vast, magnificent world is approaching.
Indeed, a world.
This is a world with a sky-round, earth-square like an island, Celestial Essence Star is a shimmering golden Star Array, half like a golden shell on the vast island, radiating boundless brilliance outward.
The island world has land and sea, green forests with undulating misty Spiritual Qi, and endless towering buildings like clouds, countless Starships circle around like a swarm of bees.
More astonishingly, beneath this island are enormous Star Beasts of varying sizes, pierced by magnificent arrays and giant spikes, their screams echoing through the starry sky as they drag the island world across the Star Sea...
Zhang Kui’s eyes are full of shock, he had seen the Immortal King Cave Heaven, he had seen the Evil God’s world in visions, what force is this?
No need to delve, it quickly becomes clear.
Because numerous enormous Starships suddenly leave the island, rushing towards the shattered Life Star, the colossal golden flags on them shine brilliantly, marked with the words "Celestial Craft."
Celestial Craft... so this is the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm the Cyan Flood Dragon spoke of!
From atop these Starships rise one splendid figure after another, all Immortals.
Unlike before, after achieving an Immortal Body, Zhang Kui can see these people clearly, among them are Ancient Race, Demon Race, and even giant dragons with scales and claws soaring, each charging into the shattering star and dragging from the crust large and small glowing stones emitting residual light.
Boom!
This Life Star completely shatters, yet these Immortals are entirely unaffected, freely traversing the massively scattered star fragments and terrifying brilliance.
And the endless star fragments, upon nearing the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, are shattered and flung away by the golden Star Array above it.
After a while, the Celestial Craft World departs, the starry space restores complete calm, leaving behind large and small fragments either quietly still or flying toward unknown starry depths.
The illusion slowly fades, Zhang Kui still filled with awe.
He has just witnessed the destruction of a star, the birth of a Starry Sky Evil God, and a wild cosmos.
Like the death of a great herbivore, like a whale fall in the deep sea, the destruction of a Life Star is the end of countless creatures, yet also a celebration for many.
The Nether Soil coffin is indeed Reincarnation remnants refined!
This is something from unknown hundreds of thousands of years ago, able to send many to reside across stars monitoring Reincarnation, who knows how the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm has developed by now.
And judging from the performance just now...
They probably had no good intentions!
To protect Reincarnation?
More like waiting as scavenging vultures!
And that True Dragon, judging from the relic below the East Sea Water Mansion, they once opposed the Immortal Dynasty, there was no trace of them during the Wilderness Era on the murals of the Barbarian Continent’s Underworld Divine Temple.
Perhaps these fellows were the first batch sent by the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, fallen for unknown reasons, the later Fish Demon Old Master inherited without understanding, thinking the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was a force protecting Reincarnation...
Zhang Kui’s eyes are filled with icy intent, indeed there was never any savior, for the beings of the Celestial Essence Star to survive, they can only rely on themselves!
Suddenly, a violent tremor of the earth veins sounds, massive rocks collapse in the surrounding waterways, stirring countless mud, the water bottom murky.
It’s not only in this place, this force comes from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, even spreading across the entire Celestial Essence Star.
The earth roars, waves howl.
In the deep ocean, many surviving Sea Race tribes are panic-stricken fleeing, the shell and reef constructions continuously collapsing...
On the You Dynasty continent, cities blaze, black-robed priests in despair laugh wildly, igniting their bodies on altars...
The tremor reaches the Divine Continent, the Divine Land Array just repaired flickers with golden light, but the mountains and rivers within show no signs of disturbance, except Tai Shi on Kunlun Mountain shows a slight change in expression.
"Damn it all!"
Zhang Kui can no longer maintain composure, silver flames blaze from his eyes, stepping into the Underworld in an instant, spreading his Divine Thought scanning heaven and earth instantly.
He has long guessed that the reason Reincarnation is hard to find is that it connects Yin and Yang, like a stone mirror stuck in the void, only through the River of Souls can it be found.
As if feeling something, the strange entities in the Underworld become increasingly rampant, frantically merging with each other, starting to form a Black Tide.
In one instant, Zhang Kui discovers a River of Souls, slowly surrounded by several Black Tides.
"Sun Exposure Skill, explode! Explode! Explode!"
The scene witnessed in the illusion is unsettling, Zhang Kui now exudes murderous intent, how could he allow these entities to run rampant.
Between heaven and earth, black and white light continuously flickers, the earth rumbles trembling, dust flies with shockwaves, countless strange beings in the Underworld are incinerated to ash under wild howls, even mountain-sized Monarchs of the Strange cannot escape.
The light dissipates, Zhang Kui stands in the air, calmly watching the river-like River of Souls drift aimlessly, among them are Demon Race, Ancient Race, and many raggedly clothed Human Race, eyes hollow...
The vast earth, the boundless sky, where do souls find rest...
Buzz buzz buzz!
A tremor from the Nine Netherworld echoes, as if finding a target, the River of Souls begins to sink into the earth.
Clang!
The sword draws a dragon’s resonance, a streak of purple light illuminates heaven and earth, Zhang Kui’s murderous intent has materialized, a stream of black smoke follows closely.
The fully restored Nether Soil coffin presents a changed scene, the surrounding vision clearer, with golden array patterns forming a shield resembling a Star Array.
The Grand Array finally completed.
Still endless darkness and silence, this time Zhang Kui moves swiftly, no longer feeling a hint of rejection, closely following the River of Souls, continuously diving deeper into the Nine Netherworld.
In the darkness, Zhang Kui watches the souls seemingly finding their destination, eagerly pressing forward, a brewing murderous intent surges within.
After an indeterminable duration, brilliant radiance finally appears ahead...
