The holy fruits had been stolen?
Several hundred Star Beasts turned their eyes on the Stardust Tree in unison to discover that the three Stardust Fruits had indeed disappeared.
All the Star Beasts were completely dumbstruck. Who could steal the holy fruits right under everyone’s noses?!
“Hurry up and chase down the thieves!” the Tribe Leader yelled.
All the Star Beasts turned to the Tribe leader with blank expressions. How were they supposed to chase the thieves down if they didn’t even know where they were?
“They couldn’t have gotten far away from here in such a short time. If we make a thorough search of the surrounding area, we’ll definitely be able to catch them!” the Tribe Leader said.
All the Star Beasts’ eyes lit up upon hearing this. Great idea!
Thus, several hundred streaks of light burst forth from the summit of the Huge Starry Mountain in different directions, leaving a series of golden trails in their wake.
The summit of the mountain was soon empty.
Never would they have thought that the culprits they were searching for were still on the summit of the mountain…
An Lin appraised the Stardust Tree before him with a thoughtful expression, as if he was considering whether he should steal the tree as well.
Stealing eggs was nothing; stealing the hen was a lot more impressive!
However, he decided to abandon the idea after some consideration. The Stardust Tree most likely required a lot of star energy to survive, so there was a good chance it would die if he tried to plant it in Tai Chu Continent. As such, he should just leave it for these poor Star Beasts…
“Master, Master, take me to that really bright, really fat star over there,” Xue Zhantian yelled excitedly.
An Lin didn’t really know why Xue Zhantian would make such a request, but he still obliged anyway.
Slap!
A loud slap was planted across the Star Beast’s face.
“Haha! That was so satisfying!” Xue Zhantian chortled with mirth.
An Lin: “…”
Tribe Leader: “???”
“Mountain Barricade Formation, activate!” The Tribe Leader reacted very quickly and immediately activated the spell formation on the Huge Starry Mountain.
Boom!
A blue film of light rose up from the mountain, enveloping the entire space around the mountain and leaving no avenues for escape.
“Come out, you invisible thief!” the Tribe Leader roared.
There were a few dozen Star Beasts stationed around the Stardust Tree, and all of them were shocked upon hearing this. Some of them began to unleashing attacks blindly around them while the others activated detection spell techniques.
Xue Zhantian: “Master, words cannot express how sorry I am.”
Xue Zhantian offered a heartfelt apology before An Lin even had a chance to scold him, so it was difficult for him to flare up in anger.
He looked around at the barricading spell formation around them as his eyes turned snowy white.
Divine Inspection Technique!
A red flash of light streaked through the air before crashing into a weak point in the spell formation to create a gaping hole.
An Lin immediately charged through the hole to escape from the Huge Starry Mountain.
“Go! Give chase in that direction!” the Tribe Leader instantly yelled.
A series of powerful golden streaks flashed toward the hole in the spell formation.
However, in the face of an invisible enemy, all their attacks were launched in hope more than anything else. The chances of them hitting An Lin was probably slimmer than winning the lottery.
An Lin and Xue Zhantian slowly flew away from the Huge Starry Mountain, and he heaved a sigh of relief as he looked back at all the furious, yet confused stars.
He had completed the mission that Emperor Ziwei had assigned to him, so all that was left was to complete the system’s mission. Mission failure would result in him becoming a eunuch for a hundred years, which was something he absolutely refused to accept.
He looked around at the boundless expanse of black mountain ranges around him while being at a complete loss for direction. This was already an area outside of the map, and everything looked exactly the same, so he didn’t even have any references to work with…
Aside from Star Beasts, he couldn’t even see any other creatures in this godforsaken place!
Could it be that he had been teleported to a certain mystic realm by the Huge Starry Mountain?
After flying aimlessly for over one thousand five hundred kilometers, he finally made it out from the mountain ranges and came to a set of grassy plains.
All the grass here was a shade of dark purple, and there was no end to the grass in sight as if it had merged into the purple skyline.
“The stars are so bright here; I can see the grass so clearly just by the light of the stars alone,” An Lin exclaimed as he cast his eyes across the vast grassland.
“It doesn’t look good because the grass is not green!” Xue Zhantian grumbled.
“Master, we should get out of here. There’s nothing interesting about this purple grass; only environmentally-friendly green grass that is pleasing to the eye is suitable for us!” Xue Zhantian suggested.
An Lin rolled his eyes. “Just because you like green grass doesn’t mean I do! Keep talking sh*t, and I’ll bash you!”
Xue Zhantian recoiled at An Lin’s inexplicable angry outburst.
His ears twitched slightly before he turned in a certain direction. “Master, there appear to be some vital energy fluctuations in that direction; it appears that someone is fighting there.”
An Lin’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately flew in the direction Xue Zhantian was pointing to.
It didn’t really matter who was fighting; any sign of intelligent life other than those Star Beasts was a good thing!
Regardless of whether they were friend or foe, at least An Lin was no longer alone and had someone he could talk to!
As he drew closer and closer to the site of the battle, the energy fluctuations in the air grew more and more powerful.
An Lin was shocked to detect that the clash of energy seemed to be even more powerful than his own. How could there be such powerful creatures in the Ancient Divine Division?
Just under ten kilometers away, a series of fearsome clashes took place, accompanied by earth-shattering booms, which made the ground underfoot tremor and quake.
An Lin’s eyes widened when he saw a sea of flames burst forth. The sea of flames instantly enveloped an area of five kilometers in radius while lighting up the entire night sky.
What a terrifying aura!
An Lin charged to the edge of the sea of flames to discover a crimson bird with flames burning all over its body.
The bird was over a thousand feet in size, and its crimson feathers were covered in golden flames. Its tail was like a peacock’s, as it fanned out to reveal the image of a twisted, red bird skeleton.
In the air not far away from the crimson bird stood a man with bronze skin and a pair of black wings.
He held a huge saber in his hands that he slashed down at the crimson bird, causing the space before him to crack open while a black saber projection of several kilometers in length instantly tore through the ground.
The crimson bird let loose a sharp cry as it looked up at the mighty saber projection. A peculiar ripple then emanated from the image on its tail, which caused the black saber projection to warp.
Boom!
The saber projection brushed past the crimson bird before leaving a massive gash on the ground below.
An Lin stared blankly at the earth-shattering battle taking place before him, and he didn’t even dare to breathe.
A battle of such intensity… This was clearly a battle between two Return to Void Stage mighty figures!
What the f*ck… How could there be Return to Void Stage cultivators in the Ancient Divine Division?!
No!
An Lin’s body trembled as a frightening thought occurred to him.
The Return to Void Stage Dark Wing Tribe cultivator and a crimson bird, the starry night sky…
Could he have stumbled upon the Void Star Section of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm?!
It seemed like this was the only plausible explanation…
No wonder the star energy was so powerful here. No wonder there would be Return to Void Stage mighty figures. He had come to the Void Star Section, otherwise known as the Return to Void Stage battlefield!!
