"The Ma.s.sive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array?!"Fang Yuan left the Heavenly Court and entered the vast expanse of the starry sky.
The stars were right there, but appeared to be far away, const.i.tuting an abstruse array.
Traces of feeble power formed a thin membrane completely enclosing the purple star.
While it seems like there"s only a single membrane layer, it contains the strength of a countless number of Stellar Lords, Ancient G.o.ds, and even the Celestial Thearch. If I dare to rush in, I"ll be pulverized into powder…
Fang Yuan"s eyes glittered, feeling slightly apprehensive.
At the border of the Stellar Array, Heavenly Consort Yun Xiang said through an ident.i.ty token, "This is the Messenger Office sending in a conscripted G.o.d. Stellar Lord Giant Spirit, please allow us to pa.s.s!"
Before long, a shower of starlight fell to the ground and transformed into a three-meter tall, giant G.o.d. "Greetings, Consort Xiang! Ancient G.o.d Black Dragon has been waiting for some time!"
As he spoke, he opened the gates and let them in.
"This Stellar Lord…"
Fang Yuan looked at G.o.d Giant Spirit in front of him. While this G.o.d was only a gatekeeper at the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array, he was a Marquis, ranking even higher than Heaven Immortals.
After all, his position as a Stellar Lord was strengthened by the stars!
With the t.i.tle of Stellar Lord conferred by the Heavenly Court, he could readily use stellar power!
Although Stellar Lords could only receive a tiny amount of a star"s Spiritual Energy in contrast to the Mountain and River G.o.ds, given the sheer size of stars, a Stellar Lord could advance to an unbelievable level with just a slight amount.
This Stellar Lord Giant Spirit is presumably comparable to Heaven Immortal Ye Jun. A common Heaven Immortal is probably no match for him! Fang Yuan thought to himself silently and looked around.
While he was only in the outer area of the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array, he could already sense some danger.
They continued forward for a while before encountering an Ancient G.o.d practicing his breathing in a pavilion.
"Hmm? You"re finally here!" He opened his eyes, his pupils as blue as the ocean.
"Greetings, G.o.d Black Dragon!" Yun Xiang saluted gracefully. "Please forgive us for keeping you waiting."
"Consort Xiang, you"re too courteous!"
Ancient G.o.d Black Dragon was donned in black battle armor, his countenance hard and firm. The pair of black dragon horns on his forehead declared his ident.i.ty as one of the Dragon G.o.ds of the Four Oceans!
Although the Dragon Kings of the Four Oceans were in charge of all the rivers and lakes, they did not have authority like Excellency Mount Mang.
This was palpably a strategy used by Heavenly Court, intending to split the power of the Four Oceans and prevent the emergence of any Emperors who could otherwise pose a threat to them.
Therefore, the dragons of the Four Oceans were all subordinates of the Heavenly Court in the Spiritual Realm.
And it was evident that the Heavenly Court did not treat the dragons well.
For example, Ancient G.o.d Black Dragon was unfortunately a.s.signed the task of going to the Mental Demon Battlefield.
G.o.d Black Dragon did not dare show any disrespect toward Consort Yun Xiang, but he kept staring at Fang Yuan, displaying his dissatisfaction, even animosity.
"Alright. Since everyone"s here, let"s go to the Stellar Gates!"
However, at this time, the Ancient G.o.d did not utter a word, instead waving his hand lightly.
A number of Marquis G.o.ds walked out from the closeby pavilion with a desolate look on their faces.
They wished that Fang Yuan could delay the task forever, but that apparently was not going to happen.
"Okay, I won"t accompany you any further!"
Yun Xiang gazed at Fang Yuan and then went back.
"…"
Fang Yuan was speechless after seeing this. This woman is nervous! Indeed, there"s a certain likelihood that the Celestial Threarch would discover my true ident.i.ty, so she"s preparing to escape?
If Fang Yuan failed to conceal himself in the final examination within the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array, he would definitely not be able to escape.
But there would be a chance to escape from outside the array.
"Let"s go!"
G.o.d Black Dragon looked at Yun Xiang as she left, but showed no sign of respect for Fang Yuan.
This group of G.o.ds trekked continuously on bridges made of starlight before finally arriving at the giant Stellar Gates.
The stars above the gates sprinkled down many shadows amid s.h.i.+mmering silhouettes of human figures.
"Alright, don"t panic and follow me through the Stellar Gates. Don"t use your magical strength, as you"ll have no chance of surviving the array backlas.h.!.+"
G.o.d Black Dragon let out a deep breath and brought them in front of the giant Stellar Gates. "The only way to the Mental Demon Battlefield is through these gates. You must be cautious of the evil elemental force on that side. We"ll only be able to recover using our own pills and divine crystals there. No one can save you if you get corrupted!"
He then kowtowed to the east. "Greetings from Black Dragon… to the Emperor. Please open the gates and send us to the battlefield!"
"The Heavenly Court"s Celestial Thearch?"
Fang Yuan kowtowed like everyone else, not daring to have any extra movement. He kept his spiritual will inside and running the Medium Chiliocosm Illusion Arts.
Buzz Buzz!
A pair of purple eyes emerged above the giant Stellar Gates.
They glanced over all the G.o.ds with cold nonchalance.
What a pair of eyes!
Fang Yuan s.h.i.+vered, as if he had encountered the existence who had deprived the Dream Master Dao path, evoking in him an inexplicable sense of horror.
Rumble!
The eyes disappeared shortly after.
The Stellar Gates slowly opened with a bang, and the figures behind the gates flew out immediately. "Finally, we"ve completed our duty!"
"We"ve finally left that h.e.l.lish place!"
"Haha… I"m still alive!"
In dirty and ragged clothes, these G.o.ds almost shed tears of joy without any regard for their image.
It was under the leaders.h.i.+p of an elderly G.o.d that they managed to calm down and salute the Celestial Thearch.
"Let"s go!"
Black Dragon let out a roar, and a dark glow surrounded him like an egg sh.e.l.l, protecting him as he entered the Stellar Gates.
Behind him, Fang Yuan and other G.o.ds took a deep breath, following with the same kind of defensive s.h.i.+elds.
They had to move forward! If they dared to run away, they would be crumbled into powder by the Stellar Lords and Ancient G.o.ds!
It seems that the Mental Demon Battlefield has severely tortured these G.o.ds. Those Marquises were as skinny as skeletons, and even the Ancient G.o.d had lost a lot of vitality… Fang Yuan thought silently to himself and then pa.s.sed through the gates.
He felt slightly dizzy before the scene suddenly changed.
A purple glow filled the empty s.p.a.ce, sinister and disgusting.
They were even secluded from Spiritual Energy and incense, just like fish separated from water. All the G.o.ds felt suffocated.
I"m finally here… on the Mental Demon Battlefield.
Fang Yuan pretended to be scared, but inside, he was excited.
As soon as he reached this place, the origin power in his body gained vitality, becoming lively in every part of his body.
He was now like a fish in water, confident of even defeating Ancient G.o.d Black Dragon within a second.
"Is this the Mental Demon Battlefield? It"s really like h.e.l.l!"
G.o.d Black Dragon exhaled a long breath, apparently disgusted by the environment. "Be careful! Don"t proceed to the purple star down there. The Divine Dao has another palace in front that has a divine pool for recovering Spiritual Energy and magical strength. Let"s go there first!"
There were obviously other G.o.ds here besides their group.
According to the information from the Heavenly Consort, there were at least seven Ancient G.o.ds and a large number of Marquises here. Their base camp was the Heaven Palace, and they took turns entering the battlefield in small groups.
The Heaven Palace was a large palace suspended in the air and had numerous restrictions. The openings in the building appeared just like beacons.
The G.o.ds finally relaxed after entering the palace, and some of them immediately started meditating to recover their magical strength.
"Since you"re all new here, I"ll repeat the rules!" G.o.d Black Dragon glanced around. "We must guard this place for thirty years! No one is allowed to return during this period unless permitted as a reward for significant achievements!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
In fact, he was not a bit worried about anyone running away.
With the Ma.s.sive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array locking up the empty s.p.a.ce, even Ancient G.o.ds would not manage to escape.
And the Heaven Palace was the only place with supplies in the entire Mental Demon Battlefield.
They had to return to the palace unless they lost their minds and became demons, but they would not even survive long even in that case.
After all, everyone knew that the Mental Demon Battlefield, which was the purple star, was shrinking in size. One day, it would be refined completely by the Spiritual Realm.
The traitors would then have no place to hide themselves and still be arrested in the end.
"In these thirty years, you must follow my orders for twenty and then act individually for ten. Your mission is to kill demons, but there are three places on this star you must not go. First, the Extreme East Dark Mystic Ocean. Second, the Myriad Thunder Plain. And third, the Bottomless Blood Abyss!"
As Black Dragon explained in detail, Fang Yuan"s expression changed slightly.
That Bottomless Blood Abyss should be the place where the powerful Mental Demon existence was sealed.
"Alright. We have a few days to rest and get used to the surroundings as newcomers. You can use any unoccupied room within the Heaven Palace. Gather at the White Jade Plaza three days later. Dismissed!"
After explaining the important issues, G.o.d Black Dragon waved his hand like he was worn out. The crowd of G.o.ds dispersed immediately.
They would not waste a single precious second, needing sufficient rest to prepare for the brutal fight on the Mental Demon Battlefield.
…
G.o.d Black Dragon looked at the back of the G.o.ds with a melancholy expression.
He went to a golden jade palace and immediately arranged a restriction to seclude the place. Sitting cross-legged, his eyes suddenly looked chillingly cold. "Lord Mountain River?
"Duke East Woods had contacted me before, suggesting that he"d let me leave the battlefield once this G.o.d dies.
"Although I"m an Ancient G.o.d just like him, I"m a dragon away from the Heavenly Court, while he"s in the Heavenly Court with many more relations.h.i.+ps and connections. He should have some confidence if he had the guts to make that promise… I"ll believe in him!"
Even Ancient G.o.ds would want to leave this h.e.l.lish place as soon as possible, so it was alright to pay a certain price for an early exit.
