Chapter 431 - A Breakthrough
The starry sky was boundless.
A silver star river formed by numerous primordial chaotic planets was connected end to end, making it look like a giant snake that had accidentally bit its own tail.
The star river was densely packed with planets. It had few Spirit Auras in the interior, but it was not like there were no lives at all.
At the same time, shining silver beams of light streamed everywhere in the universe from that giant brilliant star river and outshone everything.
That was ultimately refined Chaos Qi, which was ancient and primordial.
The Chaos Qi was so dense that it formed a giant ball in the manner of weaving a giant net. It was a brilliant and stunning view, but there was also a smell of death in the air.
Any living creature that intended to go through this endlessly flowing current of Chaos Qi would get killed cruelly and became a part of the current.
Only those real strong ones could cut through that chaotic barrier with a brilliant silver shine. Other living creatures would have to wait until the current of Chaos Qi became weaker, which would happen only once every hundred of millions of years.
However, this time, the Immortal Ancient Continent that seemed to exist in another dimension of the universe appeared out of nowhere and was sparkling together with all of the stars in the sky at the moment. Its sudden appearance disturbed that current of Chaos Qi, which led to the creation of many openings through which people could reach its interior.
“What is going on? Why did so many lights from that continent fall into the Tianyuan Star Zone? What on earth is happening in the Tianyuan Star Zone?”
A large man travelled across the sky and showed up in front of the screen of Chaos Qi. One of his eyes was giving off dazzling golden lights as if it had a golden sun hiding in it. He looked straight ahead. His gaze was so penetrating that it seemed he could see what was happening hundreds of millions of miles away.
In a feather coat embroidered with the sun, the moon, and stars, he had an imposing, paramount, and extraordinary vibe that made him a natural-born leader.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
However, as soon as he arrived, more people flew over from different directions. They were also giving off flickering shining lights as well as an intimidating vibe.
One of them was standing on a giant turtle. The turtle was as big as a planet. Its shell was half black and half white. It looked as if the sun, the moon, and all of the stars had been branded on the turtle shell, and everything could be generated from there.
And he was shrouded in the hazy grey light, so it was impossible to see his face. He looked so mysterious that no one dared say anything about him out of surmise.
Another man flew over with winds and clouds around him. He whooshed across the sky as if he was followed by the god of hurricane and the lord of mist. His look was mysterious and hard to read. Standing in half air, he vaguely had an air of authority about him, which was boundless and formidable.
The other ten-odd people were also extraordinary.
None of them was weak.
They seemed strong enough to destroy a giant planet with ease and pick stars and the moon for fun.
And they were all followed by a few men whose energy was a little weaker than theirs. Obedient to their lords, those people were very silent, but they were also giving off a powerful vibe.
Even the Monarch-level golden raptor that belonged to Gu Motian from the Holy-Eyed Planet, which Ye Xuan saw once, could not be compared with them. Not to mention Legend-level Beast Tamers.
Only the energy of some of the subordinates of those ten-odd strong men felt similar to that of the golden raptor of Gu Motian.
“The Tianyuan Star Zone!”
Some of those people stared at the galaxy inside the star river surrounded by currents of Chaos Qi with a gleam in their eyes.
The Milky Way was not the only galaxy with life in the vast yet cold universe.
There were hundreds of millions of big or small galaxies with life in the universe. They were as many as the sands in the Ganges.
However.
Most people living in the Milky Way did not know their galaxy was also called the Tianyuan Star Zone.
Because it was the core of the universe.
It was a mystery created at the birth of this universe.
In the past numerous years, countless strong people had come to the Milky Way and cut through its barrier of Chaos Qi with the intention to find out the secrets of the most ancient place of the universe.
However, no one had ever found anything out.
In addition, this place was resource-poor. Although it had abundant Chaos Qi outside it, in the interior, it had few Spirit Auras. Therefore, little by little, it faded out of people’s memory.
By then, the Immortal Ancient Continent showed up out of the blue with numerous star lights streaming all over, and most of them fell into the Milky Way. Some powerful forces near the Galaxy detected the change here and came one after another.
There were more than ten of them, including the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Taien Empire, and the Empire of Wind and Cloud. Those empires with Emperor-level strong men all fixed their eyes on the Milky Way, curious about the change here.
The Milky Way was different from other galaxies.
With the long river of Chaos Qi running here, even time became chaotic when the imperial world had merged with this universe.
As a result, the people living in the Milky Way believed it had been only hundreds of years since the merge of the imperial world and this world.
However, beyond the Milky Way, or in other words, beyond the Tianyuan Star Zone.
Thousands of years had actually passed.
Thousands of years were not a long time in the context of the vast universe.
But beyond the Tianyuan Star Zone, the civilization of the Warrior Path, which had enjoyed a long currency, and the new Beast Taming system had developed rapidly in the past thousands of years. Numerous strong people had emerged in that period.
That world was much more powerful than what it had been before in terms of overall strength.
Moreover.
There were all sorts of inheritances in that world beyond the Tianyuan Star Zone.
In comparison, the Sacrifice Spell had not got released in the Tianyuan Star Zone until recently.
And there were countless powerful beasts in that world. It was beyond compare.
Besides, in the Tianyuan Star Zone, if one did not awaken and become a Beast Tamer before eighteen years of age, the chance of him or her achieving it after eighteen would be very slim.
But it was not so beyond the Tianyuan Star Zone.
There, due to the popularity of the Warrior Path, strong Warriors still could be a Beast Tamer, despite being thousands of years old or even immortal.
Their souls were powerful at birth, and their Spirit Oceans were vast in size, so many of them would achieve the Challenger level as soon as they became a Beast Tamer.
Or even a higher level.
That made the Beast Tamers in the Tianyuan Star Zone even more inferior.
However, many star lights from the recently emerging Immortal Ancient Continent fell into the Tianyuan Star Zone.
More than that, the appearance of the Immortal Ancient Continent even produced a big fluctuation that disturbed the chaotic Milky Way greatly.
That attracted the attention of some strong people living near the Tianyuan Star Zone. They fixed their eyes on the Tianyuan Star Zone eagerly and curiously, wondering what the current Tianyuan Star Zone was like.
They wondered whether there were any secrets that no one had ever found out.
“Emperor Red Sun, there are always many mysterious legends about the Tianyuan Star Zone. Legend has it that Divine Sovereign Demonic Blood, Divine Sovereign Ancient Qin, Divine Sovereign Crab God, and other divine strong men visited the Tianyuan Star Zone and left their inheritances there. Are you going there in person this time?”
The man standing on the turtle as big as a planet surrounded by a mysterious grey fog asked the strong man that seemed to have a scorching sun in one of his eyes.
“Humph!”
The man called Emperor Red Sun gave off divine lights. His humph made the sky quake.
Looking at the man standing on the giant turtle, he said in a cold voice, “Yan Tian, I told you not to speak to me like that. I will give you a good beat whenever you try to provoke me. Fight against me when this is over!”
The face of the man standing on the turtle fell. He did not respond until a good while later. He said with a big grin, “Do you really think I am frightened of you? Okay. We can fight now that it’s what you want!”
Then he looked back at a handsome youngster behind him in a black and white robe. “Yan Qi, this time, you will go to the Tianyuan Star Zone on behalf of me!”
“Sure!”
The young man nodded with an expressionless face. He accepted the arrangement.
Standing behind the Lord of Taien, he did not seem very impressive. However, the energy he released occasionally was as powerful and as endless as a sea of stars as if it could form a boundless starry sky.
“Wu Yan, you will go to the Tianyuan Star Zone on behalf of me!”
When the Lord of Taien had given his order, Emperor Red Sun with the sun, the moon, and stars embroidered on his clothes also said to a short-haired young man in red whose hair all stood on its end.
“No problem, father.”
The young man called Wu Yan nodded. His look was very deep. In his eyes, there was a vague red dot that looked like a sun restricting itself as if once it broke out, it would give off some incredible divine lights and burn everything down.
“Gu Feng, you go on behalf of me!”
The Monarch of Wind and Cloud said to a young man behind him.
That young man also agreed calmly.
The other emperors, lords, and monarchs there also picked a subordinate of theirs to go to the Tianyuan Star Zone to check the place out.
Many strong people had investigated the Tianyuan Star Zone. Therefore, almost nothing was unknown about its interior. Only the star river of Chaos Qi around the Tianyuan Star Zone remained a mystery.
However, none of those leaders of big forces had the nerve to go there in person.
Even though they were on the Emperor level, it was still very difficult to go through the barrier of Chaos Qi.
If they went inside, and the openings in the disturbed river of Chaos Qi got closed again, they would be stuck in the Tianyuan Star Zone, the so-called forgotten place, forever. It would be too late to regret then.
That was why they decided to send a subordinate into the Tianyuan Star Zone on behalf of them to find out what had happened there.
And what secrets there were.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Then, the ten-odd delegators flew across the air one after another to the openings in the river of Chaos Qi.
When those people had disappeared, one of the leaders suddenly recalled something. “I saw starlight fall into the place where Divine Sovereign Starbright is staying in seclusion. He did not come, just as I thought!”
The other leaders there were all very surprised. Doubts flashed across their faces. It was impossible to read their minds.
At the same time.
On the Cerulean Planet.
“So much for this incident for now. I will send some people to guard the Moonlight Planet, the Fiery Cloud Planet, and the Giant Saturn.”
Ye Xuan said in a calm voice in the meeting room of the Great Xia Alliance.
“Yes, Leader!”
Below his seat, not only Wang Tianshan, Shi Buyi, and Zuo Daocheng but also some Challenger-level Beast Tamers from the Great Xia Alliance were there.
They saluted him and then left after he announced his plan.
Buzz!
When everyone had left, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a buzz in his Spirit Ocean.
He was surprisingly breaking through to the Challenger level at this point.
