Chapter 422: Sky Bearer
Outside, each black-garbed man vaulted the wall inside the city. Under the full moon, Faceless and Inevitables fell at their hands.
War had begun, ringing in every direction.
A b.l.o.o.d.y man walked up the stairs and kneeled before Nr. 0 two hours later, “Sire Faceless, it’s done.”
Nr. 0 smiled at Zhan Tianyang, “I’ll trouble you to follow me on a trip.”
Zhan Tianyang had no idea what was the situation, he just didn’t expect this to happen.
A Faceless ended dozens of Faceless and seven Inevitables.
Such power put him on par with a Relentless.
Sage Ran Zui poofed but he’d still be suppressed in the end because in this turmoil, a Nr. 0 appeared, whose t.i.tle was Relentless, Nr. 0 Relentless.
The new Relentless used Sage’s vanishing act to tell the Domains everything was a sham. They were all a bunch of kooks, not mindful of the consequences.
Anxiety ruled the four Great Immortal Domains and the Headless a.s.sembly.
In the building, Nr. 0 trailed his hand over the Relentless mask on the table, one eye closed and one eye open.
He removed his own mask and replaced it with the Relentless one under the light of the lamps. He knocked on the table then wrote with tea, Nr. 5.
“I will wait for you at the top.”
Chen Ming was ignorant to the in and outs of the chaos he sparked, and that of a fresh Relentless setting his eye on him.
He was on the closest populated star next to Destiny Star.
Chen Ming nursed his drink in a tavern, ears peeled for any gossip. Not only did he find it was in the Vitality Burning Constellation, but also how dangerous it was.
It was an odd region, a place where it was possible to age ten years once entering; or a century, or a thousand, or even ten thousand.
Chen Ming found out this was cicada’s constellation, only the cicadas were gone and because of this, it was no longer hidden and made itself known in the Galaxy.
If any besides cicada entered, they would all age.
Chen Ming recalled he had the right to enter The Land of Eternal Rest and was without a doubt sure he could enter in this constellation.
Now that he got the three thousand Dao Seeds, Chen Ming was looking for a place to hide and pa.s.s his tribulations and complete his current t.i.tle mission.
And Vitality Burning Constellation was the place.
Chen Ming threw some spirit stones and got to the path to immortality leading to Vitality Burning Constellation half a day later. He began his trek on the s.p.a.cious road.
A wasteland met his eyes as he left it, yet nothing was out of the ordinary. But then rain fell and green sprouts broke the earth, watching them grow before his eyes. A fast-growing blue vine reached five feet in length and bloomed. The flower withered, fell, and bore fruit. It ripened and also fell, buried in the wasteland.
This cycle of life took no more than a day. Chen Ming looked to the sky and found how mystical it all was.
“Ding! You are in the surrounding area of Land of Eternal Rest. Thanks to the Instant Dao Seed, you are immune.”
Chen Ming renewed his walk for close to a hundred stars. To his delight, and rea.s.surance, there was not a human soul in sight.
He trembled and sat cross-legged in the desert, ready for his tribulations. Black clouds roiled above and starlight shined from the heavens. He noticed how the erratic time flow had no effect on it.
Chen Ming began his undertaking in comprehending them, to complete the Allheaven Stellar Array.
His speed was faster than before as the Heavenly Tribulation had no effect on him, no threat to speak of. He walked among starlight and grabbed one to study.
He finished with one and moved on to the next.
Beneath the starlight, Chen Ming finished the last starlight and sat cross-legged, to integrate the new discoveries of Dao.
Three thousand stars ebbed in his heart and the knowledge gathered, improving his familiarity with the Allheaven Stellar Array, now privy to each of its changes, each of its parts.
Stars fell from the tribulation cloud and branded his back. He now had three thousand.
Chen Ming was having another vision, gazing upon the Galaxy. This time he saw it in all its glory. He saw the connections of the stars to such detail, as if he looked at the veins in a leaf.
Whenever the veins met, a big star was present. He looked at how everything was connected and couldn’t help but think, The Transcending realm has the Chakra stage. I wonder if they are linked.
Chen Ming used his power to commit to memory its shape and veins.
His instinct told him his Chakra was connected to this diagram. His Chakra wasn’t ordinary, he had 3,000 Dao Palaces.
“Ding! You completed the mission Star Lord. Reward: Sky Bearer Aura lvl 1. When you open your eyes, the stars move. You are the Lord of Stars!”
“Ding! You comprehended the Allheaven Stellar Array. You are a peak immortal ranked array master.”
Chen Ming flashed his eyes open and felt the warm embrace of the star beneath him. He could borrow its power without the need to make a link.
I gotta admit, this Star Lord t.i.tle is leagues above Sects Ruler.
Chen Ming checked his status.
His danger value exploded!
‘Sky Bearer Aura lvl 1
Description: I carry stars on my back and I am their Lord.
Effect: obtained a hardship cultivator’s body equal to your spiritual cultivation. Note: star control takes precedence.’
It resembled Ninth Crown Prince’s Nine Suns Aura, yet was a cut above.
Chen Ming flexed and felt the boiling power in his fist, the power to shake stars!
