Chapter 613: Cultivating on the Sun Star
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
Standing at the deck of the Starfield Flying Ship, Xue Ying saw many layers of time-space being penetrated in front of him. The Sun Star ahead was emitting a brightness that felt warm at the start, but as he got closer, he could feel the temperature of the sun rays rapidly increasing. At the same time, the star was becoming more prominent in his vision. He could even feel a terrifying offensive nature inherent within.
"Hua~"
Finally, Xue Ying passed entirely through time-space and arrived at the innermost layer of the cosmos.
Xue Ying squinted his eyes, looking at the enormous Sun Star. The Sun Star had flames blasting up to the sky occasionally. It was releasing a blazing heat that could destroy all life energy. This heat ripped through time-space and was present everywhere! This strength from the Sun Star was even able to permeate through the dark region that had been covered!
At the same time, there was another extraordinary strength suffocated Xue Ying–a law that spread across all directions!
'The law of the Sun Star?' Xue Ying had to admit that only when he was genuinely close to the Sun Star did he discover that its law might be on the same level with the material realm and Dark Abyss, albeit its suppression was much stronger.
The material realm was akin to a land filled with life. The Dark Abyss was instead, a desolate place filled with danger and devastation.
What about the Sun Star?
It was instead a land-shaped meteor! The Sun Star contained an ultra-strong offensive nature and was dominant in all ways.
'Truly overbearing and tyrannical, bringing with it terrifying destruction. But in the midst of destruction, there is life energy hidden within too.' Xue Ying was amazed. He kept the Starfield Flying Ship before stepping on the void and headed towards the Sun Star.
...
The Sun Star was not appropriate to live on.
One had to attain a relatively high level of combat power before he could cultivate here. Ordinary stage four World Deities would most likely turn into ashes the moment they stepped on the Sun Star.
"Hua." Xue Ying descended on the 'surface of water' of the Sun Star.
There might be flames raging on the surface of the Sun Star, though these flames had liquefied. The entire surface of the Sun Star was considered a piece of 'ocean'. It was an ocean formed entirely of liquefied flames. This 'huge ocean' even had ripples fluctuating that agitated the flames, making them even more rampant.
"Hong long long~"
Xue Ying looked from afar. The brightness of the flames was truly dazzling. The ocean of flame underneath his feet felt quite peaceful, though the 'water' surface was slowly drifting. In the distant, there were a few areas of such surging waves.
"Xue Ying." A figure came flying from afar. It was none other than Forefather Scarlet Flame.
"Forefather." Xue Ying revealed a grin.
"I have troubled you to come all the way here." Forefather Scarlet Flame said.
"It isn't something big. I have cultivated bitterly for a long time, and it is time for me to have a walk." Xue Ying said. After comprehending the nine grade one Deity Hearts, the next step would be to fuse them into the complete law of the world. Burying himself in closed-door cultivation wasn't always the best method! Coming out to have a stroll on the Sun Star or Moon Star might sometime be more effective for his cultivation. After all, the laws here far surpassed that of the law of the world and pondering over them could allow him to break through.
"This is the Sun Star Nucleus Stone." Xue Ying threw over.
Forefather Scarlet Flame received it. Suppressing his excitement, he said, "Go, let me bring you in and have a look."
"Hu."
The two of them immediately tunneled into the Sun Ocean, flying afar.
There was a layer of luminous sun force on the figure of Xue Ying which easily isolated this Sun Water.
"The Sun Star is filled with destruction. There are no lifeforms which could form here." Forefather Scarlet Flame said.
"Oh?" Xue Ying laughed without rebuking him.
Actually, in the large number of intelligence reports given by his teacher Bloodshed God-Emperor, on the fifth level of Sun Star, the 'Sun Abyss', two terrifying lifeforms emerged there. Using the description given by his teacher, strictly speaking, they were not actual lifeforms. Instead, they were incarnations of part of the law from the Sun Star and had power equivalent to a Ruler. Even now, they had not taken a step out of the Sun Star, and had always been sleeping within the Sun Abyss, having fun and occasionally entering the fourth level, 'Void Black Soil Layer'.
The Void Black Soil Layer was a layer only most Rulers could enter. There might be a selective few amongst Paragons like Paragon Huo Cheng and Monarch Green who could enter.
Thus, these two terrifying lifeforms were indeed kept a secret. Most powerful existences did not know of them.
Flying for a long time, Xue Ying and Forefather Scarlet Flame finally arrived at the bottom of the surface 'Sun Ocean'.
Xue Ying overlooked below. He could see a continuous layer of thick stone. The stone layer had even more terrifying flame energy inherent within.
Forefather Scarlet Flame descended on the stone layer. He sat down cross-legged. The surface of his body had influenced the surrounding laws, to the extent of even resonating with the laws of the entire Sun Star. The damage of the surrounding flame inflicted on him had substantially decreased.
"Borrowing on the Sun Star Nucleus Stone, I can sit here, but I don't dare to venture deeper." Forefather Scarlet Flame laughed.
Xue Ying also descended.
He stepped on the stone layer.
"Be careful." Forefather Scarlet Flame reminded him.
Xue Ying was very calm though. The strands of flames immediately penetrated the luminous sun force which initially surrounded his entire body and his two feet. The 'luminous sun force' might be Yang and hard, yet it wasn't appropriate for defense. A layer of black armor naturally appeared on the surface of his body which easily parried against this layer of flames.
What a joke. Xue Ying's "Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body"'s armor could completely withstand the full force of 'White Sovereign King' before getting damaged. Most apex Paragons would not dare to withstand against an attack from White Sovereign King forcibly.
One could see how strong the body and defenses of Xue Ying was as a member of the Destruction Legion. Just relying on his defenses, he was entirely not any weaker as compared to the apex Paragons.
"It is indeed different." Xue Ying stepped on the surface. At that moment, he could sense the transformation of nature from the law of the sun.
"Dong dong dong!" Some extremely profound impacts caused the heart of Xue Ying to accelerate. The dominant and overbearing law of profound mysteries completely enveloped around Xue Ying.
Xue Ying delicately experienced it for a moment before opening his eyes.
"How is it? Shocking right?" Forefather Scarlet Flame laughed, "It is entirely possible to open my own Dao path after grasping a strand of its power. Grasping part of it will enable one to match up against Rulers."
"It is indeed quite amazing. I'll go deeper in to have a look." Xue Ying said.
"Deeper?" Forefather Scarlet Flame was stunned.
He relied on the Sun Star Nucleus Stone to touch on the surface of the second layer.
"Hua–"
Saying that Xue Ying had already forcibly torn through space. His mighty strength squeezed apart the stone layer he went deeper in. As he got deeper, the stone layer on the surface was also slowly recovering. That was how Xue Ying flew deeper, penetrating through the stone layer. The flame energy inherent within the stone layer was also gradually increasing, yet it was unable to threaten his armor at all.
...
At a desolate ground in the Deity world, at an overgrown starry sky.
There was a land floating about.
On the land, many black bamboos were growing on it. The black bamboos were emitting a cold intent that could cause others to feel frosty! Countless black bamboos covered about 90% of the entire land.
Right at the center of this land, there was a chain of luxurious palaces.
And within one of the palaces…
The palace door was closed.
Within the great hall, there was only a black-robed thin male seated on the throne. His skin was black, and there were some mythical patterns on it. There were even two protrudes on his forehead.
He was 'Bamboo Saint' from the Two Saints Ink Clan, and had been the one who coercively snatched the 'Sun Star Nucleus Stone' from Forefather Scarlet Flame in the past.
A voice reverberated within the palace hall.
"Bamboo Saint, Ripple Lady Planet Master has purified a Sun Star Nucleus Stone for Dong Bo Xue Ying, and Dong Bo Xue Ying is currently heading to the Sun Star before passing it to Forefather Scarlet Flame. They are both currently on the Sun Star." A cold voice sounded.
The edge of Bamboo Saint's lips had a strand of smirk, "Admirable, admirable; you can sense the power coming from the Sun Star Nucleus Stone. Amazing."
"Hmph." That cold voice snorted before disappearing.
Bamboo Saint sat cross-legged over there.
Via karma, he was able to sense…
That indeed, Xue Ying and Forefather Scarlet Flame were both on the Sun Star!
"Dong Bo Xue Ying is there too? This is slightly troublesome. This brat has cultivated for a short period, yet his ranking on the Cosmos Deity-Demon List is higher than I slightly." Bamboo Saint said, "I'll have to wait, wait until Dong Bo Xue Ying left before killing Forefather Scarlet Flame to snatch away the Sun Star Nucleus Stone again."
