Chapter 1163: Mythic-tier Star (4)

Rustle!

The three Beastblood Soulcrystals released strands of blood-colored light, which flowed out along the myriad engravings on the divine pillar. Next, these blood-colored threads covered the cryptic patterns, continuing to spread rapidly.

Hum~

In just a breath of time, the bronze divine pillar was covered with countless dark red cryptic patterns.

When the final Dao pattern was dyed red, it was like the final collapse of a star, like that instant of the creation of heaven and earth, or perhaps like an Eternal powerhouse triggering the destruction of their Eternal Psyche.

An incomparably terrifying pressure and aura struck out in all directions, impacting Wu Yuan's two true selves. Even as powerful as Wu Yuan was, his expression changed slightly.

This was only the beginning.

Whoosh!

Streams of purple light burst forth from the dark red bronze divine pillar. This purple light was unbound by time and space, instantly shooting out of the hall, enveloping the hall complex, then illuminating the entire star and shooting into outer space...

At this moment, countless beasts and Overlords within the Xuanhuang Cosmiris were exploring and battling.

Above their heads, among the tens of thousands of distant stars, one unremarkable star violently erupted with blinding purple light. It shone ten thousand times brighter than before, transcending the constraints of spacetime, and continued to grow even more brilliant, ensuring all powerhouses in the Cosmiris would notice it instantly.

"What is that?"

"Purple light!"

"Such a blazing star." Almost instantly, countless beasts and Overlords on numerous stars instinctively raised their heads, looking towards that dazzling star.

They were all unclear about what exactly had happened. But without a doubt, something major was about to occur in the Xuanhuang Cosmiris.

Only an extremely small number of Overlord powerhouses understood what was happening, expressions of shock appearing on their faces, as if they couldn't quite believe it.

"The Mythic-tier Star has opened." A voice full of majesty suddenly resounded in the depths of the countless Overlords’ spirits.

Only after a full four breaths did the light emanating from that star finally dissipate, returning to normal.

However, that mysterious, majestic voice was enough to set countless Overlord cultivators abuzz. That single sentence held great secrets and great opportunities.

"Mythic-tier Star?"

"Has the legendary Mythic-tier Star opened?"

"Could it be that some powerhouse has opened the path to the Mythic-tier Star?" Countless Overlords were both shocked and confused.

"Who opened it?"

"According to the legends, opening the Mythic-tier Star is extremely difficult."

"The opening of the Mythic-tier Star is not unusual, but I've participated in more than one iteration of the Xuanhuang Cosmiris and never encountered anything like today. I’ve never seen such light illuminating the entire Xuanhuang Cosmiris." Many Overlords wondered, speculating.

After a brief moment of shock, most Overlords had already guessed the answer – Overlord Wu Yuan and Overlord Ming Jian.

A few who were still unaware of certain events continued to speculate:

Could it be Devil Emperor Xia?

In any case, the opening of the Mythic-tier Star had caused a huge ruckus among the Overlords in the Xuanhuang Cosmiris. They all understood that the mysterious voice would not speak without reason, and was likely encouraging them to go there.

Moreover, the light of that star might just be guiding the way.

...

A Mythic-tier Star? How did this happen? None of the intelligence on the Mythic-tier Star mentioned a phenomenon like this.

Overlord Bei Zhen, who had just slain a beast, stared intently at that star in the void. His mind was filled with both curiosity and confusion.

Is there something different about this opening of the Mythic-tier Star compared to historical occurrences? I must seize this opportunity!

Overlord Bei Zhen immediately headed straight for the teleportation array. He had to find that brilliant star.

...

I am a naturally-born eternal lifeform. If I don't strive for opportunities, the Perennial stage will be my limit in this lifetime.

A Mythic-tier Star? To be called mythic, it must surely hold great opportunities.

Some extremely powerful naturally-born eternal lifeform powerhouses also chose to search for it.

...

Hmm? I can teleport directly into the Mythic-tier Star?

Just moments later, a mighty Overlord stationed on a High-tier Star joyfully discovered this fact.

He was not alone. Soon, one Overlord after another, eager to enter the Mythic-tier Star, discovered that as long as they entered a teleportation array on a High-tier Star, they could travel directly to the Mythic-tier Star.

Clearly, the path to the Mythic-tier Star had been thoroughly opened.

However, this news remained somewhat secret; after all, the vast majority of Overlords were exploring Low-tier Stars and Mid-tier Stars, not daring to venture onto High-tier Stars at all. Most Overlords had no intention of entering the Mythic-tier Star.

...

Underground, in a place of endless darkness.

A Mythic-tier Star?

Overlord Jiang Meng, who had just escaped from danger, was also startled by the voice echoing in the depths of her spirit.

Overlord Ming Jian, is that you?

...

Across the entire Xuanhuang Cosmiris, the more than ten thousand Overlords were in an uproar, yet none of this affected Wu Yuan in the slightest.

On that High-tier Star, before the dark red bronze pillar within the majestic temple.

This? That light just now?

Both of Wu Yuan's true selves stared blankly into the distance.

If he had perceived it right, that faint trace of aura within those strands of purple light moments ago was unmistakably of the same source as the Ancestral Pagoda.

Perhaps other Overlords hadn't noticed anything at all. But as an Ancestral Pagoda Archon, Wu Yuan was far too familiar with the Ancestral Pagoda's aura to mistake it.

Wu Yuan's mind was in chaos. Here in the Xuanhuang Cosmiris, he had merely opened the path to the Mythic-tier Star. Why would the Ancestral Pagoda's aura appear?

The Mythic-tier Star has opened?

Wu Yuan murmured in his heart, also recalling the voice that had just resonated in the depths of his spirit.

Where did this voice come from? Did it echo only in his own mind, or in the minds of all Overlords?

If it echoed in the minds of all Overlords, no one has ever successfully attempted to open it with this method in history. I am the first.

Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Such a scene has never appeared before either

.

Wu Yuan knew the Eldritch Court's complete intelligence on the Xuanhuang Cosmiris by heart, without any omissions. He believed that even if the Immortal Court's relevant intelligence was somewhat more detailed, the difference wouldn't be too great. What exactly caused this special phenomenon?

Could it be related to my identity as an Ancestral Pagoda Archon?

Wu Yuan couldn't help but speculate.

Whoosh!

In the distance, the light was withdrawn back into the dark red divine pillar. Suddenly, the space above the pillar distorted, and a passageway into the divine pillar opened, with surges of vast and ancient aura emerging from it.

Eternal Dao resonance! An aura imbued with the essence of life. There was also the profundities of Destruction. And the profundities of the Five Elements in operation.

Most importantly, Wu Yuan sensed a faint, almost imperceptible trace of the Ancestral Pagoda's aura.

This?

Wu Yuan's pupils constricted slightly. He sensed many familiar yet strange, majestic auras emitted from this passageway. They were boundlessly vast, beyond imagination, as if all the essences of the myriad Daos had converged.

"Wu Yuan, come in." From the passageway, a familiar voice spoke into his mind.

"Heavenly Domain Emissary?" Wu Yuan was startled. He could never forget the owner of this voice.

However, a hint of hesitation flashed through Wu Yuan. Was it truly the Heavenly Domain Emissary?

"What's the matter? You personally opened the Mythic-tier Star’s entrance, yet you don't dare to enter?" That familiar voice spoke again: "Come in, and you will find what you seek."

After pondering for another instant, Wu Yuan hesitated no longer and flew directly into this mysterious passageway at the top of the divine pillar.

As Wu Yuan stepped onto the passageway, strands of purple light blossomed from it, as if welcoming him.

When Wu Yuan fully entered the divine pillar, the purple light dissipated, the distorted spacetime returned to normal, and the passageway vanished without a trace. The entire divine pillar returned to its previous state, countless dark red engravings swiftly fading away.

Everything was as if Wu Yuan had never been there.

...

In the dim void, streams of qi exuding majestic aura drifted. Countless qi streams interwove, like an ocean of qi.

Wu Yuan appeared out of thin air in this space.

This place?

As soon as Wu Yuan materialized, he quickly took in his surroundings.

Immediately, he was astonished – so much Xuanhuang qi. The boundless streams of qi in this vast void were all Xuanhuang qi.

"Wu Yuan, long time no see." Not far away, a white-robed figure gazed at Wu Yuan with a smile.
