Chapter 196-1: Eternal Starborn Spirit – Corrupted Leviathan, Battle of Starborn and Dragons! (1)

Using the Ring of the Radiant Stars here in Hidden Canyon was without question an act courting death.

Back in the Star-Chasing Corridor, using this special equipment had already drawn the gaze of the stars.

At that time, though, the stars’ gaze had been blocked by the power of Omniscient True Knowledge, allowing Lin Xun to summon only a weak Starborn Spirit.

But in Hidden Canyon, whenever his knowledge overload triggered, the prompt displayed: [Here, you cannot glimpse Omniscient True Knowledge…]

The stars had somehow found a way to obstruct Omniscient True Knowledge’s sight. Even knowledge overload could no longer let it see him.

If he used the Ring of the Radiant Stars again, and failed to draw Omniscient True Knowledge’s attention, only attracting the gaze of the stars, then the creature summoned might surpass his wildest fears.

Most crucially, apart from the Hermit Ancestor, all the dragons in Hidden Canyon were Oathbreakers who had pledged allegiance to the Radiant Stars.

Summoning a starborn creature from the same faction was very likely not going to lead to a clash between the two sides…

Lin Xun weighed this carefully, then finally resolved himself.

As long as the starborn monster could draw the dragons’ attention, his objective would be achieved.[You used the Advanced Essence of Star Faith. The Ring of the Radiant Stars once again blazed with stellar brilliance.]

[You equipped the Ring of the Radiant Stars (Special Equipment)!]

[The gem in the ring erupted with dazzling starlight.]

[A boundless phantom of a starry river leapt forth from the gemstone, countless stars swirling and flickering.]

[You are being watched by distant stars!]

[The clear sky above the Dragon Nest suddenly darkened. A thick, resplendent pillar of starlight plummeted from the heavens, striking the summit of the lone peak!]

[Summoning a creature from the Radiant Stars’ Oath Faction!]

[Summoning in progress…]

[Suddenly, deafening dragon roars erupted beneath your feet. The successive howls reverberated through the entire Dragon Nest!]

[With howling gales, over a dozen enormous shadows beat their wings and shot up toward the summit!]

[From the caves below your feet, giant creatures climbed out one after another. They paid you no heed whatsoever, flying straight for the mountaintop!]

[You looked up, where the sky should have been, it was completely blotted out by the wings of countless Black Calamity Dragons…]

[The dragons circled around the starlight at the summit, maintaining their flight while bowing their heads deeply to the pillar of radiance, as though in devout worship.]

[The starlight poured down onto the summit. A luminescent green array of stellar light enveloped the entire peak, and a colossal, horrifying figure manifested within it.]

[You have summoned the Eternal Starborn Spirit – Corrupted Leviathan!]

[The droplet-shaped starborn behemoth floated above the summit, the jagged blades beneath its jaws dozens of times larger than those of the Thunderbeast Mammoth you’d encountered before. Every strand of starlight cast between the dragons’ wings was swallowed by the creature’s monstrous bulk.]

[With a mindless flick of its massive tentacles, it swatted the circling dragons aside like insects, sending them screaming as they tumbled down.]

[Two gigantic emerald eyes pierced through the barrier of countless dragon wings, locking straight onto you halfway down the mountain. You felt the bottomless killing intent flooding those eyes.]

[You understood, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of times it killed you, that insane hunger would never be satisfied!]

[The first time you beheld the Eternal Starborn Spirit, Corrupted Leviathan, its horrific shape made your flesh crawl. You grew dizzy, and your soul was inundated with chaotic, disordered knowledge.]

[You have gained knowledge. Your Knowledge stat increased by 20,000! Current Knowledge: 20,000/30,800]

[The Corrupted Leviathan roared, diving straight for you. Its colossal body nearly filled the entire maw of the abyss. The lone peak and the circling dragons were nothing but obstacles in its charge.]

[With a single sweep of the blades beneath its jaws, the behemoth sheared off the upper portion of the summit.]

[The ground quaked violently as rocks rained down. You watched, eyes wide, as the shattered stones and the massive Hermit statue plummeted into the endless darkness together.]

[The mountaintop of the Dragon Nest was destroyed. The ancestral statue was annihilated. One after another, furious dragon roars resounded throughout the Dragon Nest.]

[The Black Calamity Dragons stopped their worship and turned to attack the behemoth!]

[Your entire field of vision was consumed by torrents of pitch-black dragonfire…]

[Countless pureblood half-dragons and Bloodline Dragonkin scrambled from their caves in terror. As they looked up at the sky, they saw the lifelong object of their bloodline worship, the Black Calamity Dragons, being brutally slaughtered and cast down by the monstrous starborn creature as they defended the peak!]

[The dragonkin wailed in despair. Some charged toward the summit heedless of danger, but many more buried their heads and bolted for the mountainside. Overwhelmed by fear, they had long forgotten the prohibition against approaching the mountain’s base.]

[The mountain was steadily reduced to rubble by the behemoth’s relentless assault. As it drew nearer to you, those giant emerald eyes never once shifted to the surrounding dragons, remaining locked unwaveringly on you!]

[Wailing dragonkin fled past you, tumbling and scrambling for the foot of the mountain…]

[Will you bravely stand and fight the Eternal Starborn Spirit – Corrupted Leviathan, or join the fleeing dragonkin and run for your life?]

Without the protection of Omniscient True Knowledge’s power, the Radiant Stars faction had sent such an unimaginably terrifying monster, just to kill him.

“Shit! Was it because I killed a Legendary Starborn Spirit that the stars overestimated my strength? Calling this overkill would be an insult to overkill.”

Lin Xun swiftly smashed the ‘flee’ option.

Even in mortal peril, he remained calm.

While escaping, he didn’t forget to switch Shells, blending into the throng of panicked dragonkin.

[You have possessed the Shell of the Pureblood Half-Dragon Who Gazes Upward!]

[Your sudden appearance did not draw the attention of the other half-dragons. They were too busy stampeding for the base of the mountain.]

[You merged into the fleeing crowd, racing downward at full speed…]

[As the mountain was continually torn apart by the behemoth, enormous fragments of rock came crashing down!]

[One after another, unlucky half-dragons in the fleeing horde were crushed to death beneath the falling boulders…]

[Suddenly, a fierce gust struck from overhead. You looked up in alarm, just in time to see a falling boulder looming directly above you!]

[There was no time to dodge, far too late to switch Shells. You could only watch, certain you were about to die here!]

[The Lucky Gold Coin you carried flared with light…]

[A crawling Bloodline Dragonkin seemed to think you were running too slowly and blocking its path. With a flick of its massive tail, it swatted you aside into the mountainside.]

[With a thunderous crash, the boulder slammed down, crushing the Bloodline Dragonkin flat without any resistance, reducing it to a smear of flesh.]

[You felt pain coursing through your entire body, a metallic tang of blood rising in your throat.]

[You have suffered minor injuries!]

[The trembling of the mountainside grew even more violent. Now, it was not only stones falling from above, wailing, shrieking half-dragons were also plummeting past.]

[You knew that the Eternal Starborn Spirit – Corrupted Leviathan was drawing ever closer!]

[Ignoring the agony in your body, you continued your desperate flight down the mountain…]
