Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Heavenly Emperor Longsong Breakthrough, Giant Earthworm (First Update)
Ye Feng was very happy.
Along the way,
he had gone from initial curiosity to mid-journey contemplation, and finally, to his present open-mindedness, with his mood gradually relaxing.
He now had an idea for creating the Saint Ascension Tribulation.
What followed was simply action.
In the nearby starry sky,
aside from Shenhe Heavenly Emperor, who had recently ascended to the Heavenly Emperor level, the remaining eight veteran Heavenly Emperors, including Longsong Heavenly Emperor, were all attempting to fuse two types of vitality to break through to Quasi-Saint.
“Only the strongest can succeed.”
Ye Feng looked at these Heavenly Emperors and muttered to himself.
He had already seen through everything.
It was Emperor Beihe who had activated a hidden formation composed of dozens of stars, causing the Thunder Array of the Heavenly Emperor Star to operate beyond its capacity.
This kind of situation was extremely rare.
The energy generated by the Formation was just enough for one Heavenly Emperor to break through to One-Turn Quasi-Saint, so among these nine Heavenly Emperors, only the strongest was qualified to break through.
As for how to distinguish the strong from the weak?
That was simple!
The fusion of two types of vitality would burst forth with a powerful aura, and just from the aura alone, it was possible to tell who was strong and who was weak.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of thunder began to rise.
Among the nine Heavenly Emperors, someone had been chosen by the Heavenly Tribulation!
It was Longsong Heavenly Emperor, who had once met Ye Feng briefly.
“Hahaha, I am going to become a Saint!”
“I suppressed an era and finally stepped into the Saint Realm. The Road to Sainthood left by Emperor Beihe is indeed real!”
Longsong Heavenly Emperor laughed loudly.
He felt he was targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation.
His heart was filled with exhilaration.
“Sigh.”
The other eight Heavenly Emperors all sighed softly and stopped fusing their vitalities.
They could sense that after the opening of this Road to Sainthood, only one person was qualified to become a Saint.
The rest would have to wait for the next opportunity.
In the starry sky,
the two types of vitality within Longsong Heavenly Emperor finally fused completely, turning into a faint golden breath.
It was the fusion of Wood Elemental Energy with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.
Boom boom boom!
The Heavenly Tribulation quickly brewed to completion, locked onto Longsong Heavenly Emperor, and ferociously struck down, blasting him away and leaving his entire body charred.
But, a moment later,
a green dragon appeared behind Longsong Heavenly Emperor, radiating dazzling light, causing his body to rapidly recover from its wounds.
“What kind of vitality is this?”
“Don’t know.”
“Can’t figure it out.”
Many cultivators paused their own cultivation to watch Longsong Heavenly Emperor undergo his tribulation, guessing the name of this mysterious fused force.
In the starry sky,
Ye Feng whispered, “This is Life Dragon Essence, formed from the fusion of Wood Elemental Energy and the Dragon Clan’s bloodline. It has the powerful combat strength of the Dragon Clan, along with the healing capabilities of Wood Elemental Energy.”
Only he could see the true nature of this fused vitality.
The others were still utterly confused.
With the enhancement of Life Dragon Essence, Longsong Heavenly Emperor successfully endured the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity and officially stepped into the One-Turn Quasi-Saint Realm.
He stood in the starry sky,
his powerful aura sweeping across the entire Heavenly Emperor Star, giving others the grand sense of facing the vast universe.
“He has become a Saint!”
“This should be the legendary One-Turn Saint.”
“Above that, there are Second Turn, Third Turn, Fourth Turn. It is said that Saint Beihe is a Third Turn Saint and is also known as a Great Saint, his strength a thousand times more powerful than ours!”
Shenhe Heavenly Emperor and the others exclaimed.
Hearing this, the corners of Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
Damn Great Saint!
He didn’t know if Emperor Beihe failed to make things clear when he passed down the teaching, leading to a misunderstanding about “Quasi-Saint” among the cultivators on the Road to Sainthood.
“I’ll leave a Thunder Talisman behind, then it’s time to head back.”
Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Having completed the Road to Sainthood in the starry sky and having copied the hidden Array Patterns here, he would thoroughly research and upgrade them once back. This would allow the Thunder Palace to operate beyond its capacity.
At that time, Shenzhou would witness the birth of new Saints.
And he would be the greatest contributor.
“I also wonder if the Heavenly Dao Remnants will reward me with some Heavenly Earth Origin Essence to help improve the Destiny Treasure Bead.”
Ye Feng mused.
“Roar!”
Just then, from deep within the starry sky fog, an ear-shattering sound emerged.
All who followed the sound felt their hearts tremble.
Rip!
Great swathes of the starry sky fog were torn apart, and an immense cosmic monster arrived nearby.
“Hee-hee-hee!”
“So it’s a Life Star that’s emanating such an alluring aura.”
The creature revealed its true form and laughed loudly.
It was a worm-like behemoth!
With a diameter exceeding a thousand zhang and a length of tens of thousands of zhang.
It opened its mouth, revealing dozens of rows of razor-sharp teeth, each tooth resembling a Heavenly Sword, terrifying to behold.
Its aura had reached the peak of a One-Turn Quasi-Saint!
The fearsome presence it exuded instantly overpowered the entire Heavenly Emperor Star. Even Heavenly Emperor Longsong turned pale with horror.
“It’s a Saint-level monster!”
Shenhe Heavenly Emperor bellowed, his heart sinking to the abyss.
“A worm has come.”
Ye Feng looked at the worm, activating his Eye of Insight.
[Name: Devouring Star]
[Grade: One-Turn Quasi-Saint Peak]
[Remark: Originally slumbering within the Starry Sky Fog, preparing to break through to Second Turn Quasi-Saint, it was awakened by the World-Ending Heavenly Calamity of the Heavenly Emperor Star and felt hunger.]
Upon seeing this, Ye Feng suddenly understood.
He had thought there was a complex conspiracy behind this, but as it turned out, it was merely a coincidence.
If Heavenly Emperor Longsong hadn’t made his breakthrough, Devouring Star wouldn’t have woken up.
“Human Race, delicious!”
Devouring Star set its eyes on Heavenly Emperor Longsong, who had the strongest aura, its long tail whipping out and shattering the starry space, lashing toward him.
Bang!
Heavenly Emperor Longsong, still a new Quasi-Saint, was slapped away in one blow, his chest cracked open, nearly losing his life.
Luckily, his Life Dragon Essence distributed, and he quickly recovered from his injuries.
Bang!
However, Devouring Star did not give him any chance to survive, its tail carrying the heavy force of a continental plate, lashing repeatedly and almost blasting Heavenly Emperor Longsong into a pulp.
“Audacious monster, meet your demise!”
The other Heavenly Emperors took action as well.
Above the Heavenly Emperor Star, thousands of Void Break Realm ancestors also showed no fear, unleashing countless divine skills that merged into a tide of energy, hurling Devouring Star away.
However, it wasn’t afraid at all.
With a wide-open mouth, it devoured the tide of energy and belched a satisfied burp in front of everyone.
“Too weak!”
Devouring Star took a deep breath, and immediately thereafter, a berserk aura exploded from its body, blasting away numerous powerful beings.
Even Heavenly Emperor Longsong and the others were severely injured once again.
“Puh!”
Heavenly Emperor Longsong turned pale, “My Life Dragon Essence is almost depleted, if this continues, I’ll die!”
He dared not continue fighting.
“Hahahaha, you are all too weak.”
Devouring Star laughed maniacally, looking down at these cultivators of the Human Race, whom it viewed as prey.
Above the Heavenly Emperor Star.
Everyone was silent, their faces filled with sorrow and indignation.
The Heavenly Emperor Star had just witnessed the birth of a Saint, only to face a terrible monster immediately after. Could this be the destiny of the Heavenly Emperor Star?
They were all unwilling to accept this.
Rumble…
Just then, someone heard the gathering sound of heavenly thunder. In that silent moment, it was particularly jarring.
“How dare you!”
“Who is undergoing tribulation?”
Devouring Star snorted coldly, turning its gaze to the peak of a high mountain on the Heavenly Emperor Star. There, a youth stood on the mountaintop, shivering.
Heavenly Tribulation, it was he who had triggered it.
“Wha… what’s happening?”
The youth was dumbfounded.
He had accidentally fused with a Thunder Talisman, and suddenly found himself breaking through the bottleneck of the Divine Origin Realm.
Therefore, he had attracted the Heavenly Tribulation.
“Look there, what is that?”
Someone pointed to the top of the youth’s head, where above the gathering Tribulation Clouds, a majestic hall seemingly connected to the endless Immortal Realm appeared.
No one knew what was happening.
Even Devouring Star and Heavenly Emperor Longsong widened their eyes, looking at the mysterious hall in astonishment.
In this moment, silence fell upon the entire place.
