Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 434 Across the Stars! Finally, the Blue Sky Appears!
The Black Emperor chased desperately, trying to step onto the gourd. However, the gourd was an imperial weapon, and it quickly traversed the void. Almost instantly, it disappeared from everyone's sight and rushed into the boundless starry sky.

"No! Another starry sky! I want to see it too! I've prepared a backup plan; the Myriad Dragon Nest won't affect the final outcome for all races!"

Black Emperor was on the verge of tears. He had rushed to arrange everything and made preparations, even doing a huge favor for it.

However, he was too late!
Wang Teng and the others have already left!

It really was just a tiny bit off!

If only it had come a little earlier!
Looking at the boundless starry sky, Black Emperor wished he could kick his legs and rush up after it.

However, he couldn't rush up and could only sigh while gazing at the starry sky.

Finally, he turned away dejectedly, muttering curses.

Then, he transformed into the appearance of the Ancient Holy Body, revealing a cackling laugh, and ran away with a wicked chuckle.

the other side.

In the vast and boundless starry sky, Qi Hao stood with his hands behind his back at the very front of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, looking at the desolate universe. A touch of emotion appeared on his originally unruly face.

Although he represents the most unruly aspect of Wang Teng's subconscious, and his talent is truly formidable, coupled with his powerful combat instincts, he is arguably the most powerful prodigy besides his physical form.

Even so, he showed a look of emotion when facing the vast and boundless starry sky.

Humanity has never stopped exploring the stars.

In his previous life, Wang Teng, as the heir to a conglomerate, had also invested in an airline and spent a huge sum of money to explore the stars. If he hadn't been so afraid of losing his life, he probably would have decided to go up and take a look long ago.

But now, he has arrived.

He stood at the very front of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, gazing at the loneliness in the distance.

When you look up at the starry sky from the ground, every star seems very close, as if you were standing on one of them, with everything around you within reach.

But nowadays, every star is very far away, a distance that is difficult to measure even in the unit of "li".

Even stars that appear very close to each other may actually be millions of miles apart.

To walk among the stars, one must at least reach the level of a sage.

Only in this way can one draw power from the vast and boundless void.

Behind Qi Hao, there were also Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and other people from that blue planet, not to mention.

Their vision and understanding were not as broad as Qi Hao's; at this moment, the shock in their eyes was almost overflowing!
Although they had traveled the Ancient Starry Road once before, the circumstances at that time were very special.

They spent the vast majority of their time confined in that coffin.

Even when they occasionally manage to leave that coffin, they have no time to appreciate the boundless universe and the almost tangible space, because they face life-threatening dangers at every moment.

They lost too many people just from the ancient star Yinghuo.

Ye Fan stood up and strolled on the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. He reached out and touched the light of the gourd, as if he wanted to feel the space.

In the boundless expanse of space, there is an extreme solitude.

The surroundings were shrouded in endless darkness, a pure and profound black, like the mysterious maw of the universe opening wide, swallowing all sound and color.

Distant stars emit a faint, cold light in places far beyond our reach, like lonely watchmen, shining alone for countless years. Their light has traveled billions of light-years, becoming incredibly faint by the time it reaches us.

Looking back, the seven stars were enormous and twinkling, seemingly right in front of them, almost within reach.

However, when some asteroids or meteorites passed between them, they realized that they were already very, very far away from those stars. In just a short moment of distraction, the journey they had traveled even exceeded the distance that Voyager had covered in so many years.

Further away, the occasional nebulae resembled ethereal paintings rendered in dreamlike colors, yet they only added to the desolation of the vast emptiness. There was no movement of air, no breath of life, only cold cosmic dust drifting aimlessly in absolute silence.

A dilapidated palace floats alone. The outer universe and the palace seem like an incongruous pair in a technologically advanced civilization, yet they are real at this moment.

The palaces drift, as if telling tales of their former glory, now abandoned in endless solitude, accompanied by the eternal void.

Every space was permeated with a deep-seated sense of loneliness, as if the entire universe had fallen into a long and silent dream.

"This is the starry sky! I'm actually walking among the stars!"

Zhang Wenchang spoke excitedly, standing up shakily with curiosity and anticipation in his eyes as he looked at the lonely starry sky.

A giant meteorite—

Its size far exceeds that of Mount Tai, its diameter is astonishing, and it flies aimlessly through the starry sky at an extremely high speed.

As the Immortal-Slaying Gourd flew by, the enormous meteorite seemed to be drawn in and actually rushed straight towards us from the opposite side!
Such a massive meteorite creates an immense sense of oppression!

Among Ye Fan's classmates, some were dabbling in astronomy, and their eyes widened in horror when they saw this scene.

"Such a large asteroid! If it were to crash into our homeland, it would absolutely destroy all life!" he exclaimed in horror.

However, the imagined violent collision did not occur. Faced with such a massive meteorite, Qi Hao was too lazy to even make a move.

The Immortal-Slaying Gourd emitted a beam of light that struck the enormous star from a distance of millions of miles away.

boom!
A dazzling light shone, and before everyone could see the full extent of the meteorite's explosion, they had already rushed through the shockwave!
For a fleeting moment, they thought they heard a loud bang, but it was gone in the next instant.

Ye Fan and the others looked back and saw that the huge meteorite was still exploding, turning into the finest cosmic dust, shining with brilliant light, beautiful and magnificent, but without making a sound.

Before they could even focus their attention, the explosion was already out of sight.

It wasn't the explosion that ended it, but rather that they flew too far and too fast.

Even light can't keep up with their speed!

"Is this... the power of the cultivation civilization?"

The student who was an expert in astronomy swallowed hard and spoke in shock.

After arriving in Beidou, although he came into contact with the extraordinary and his body was tempered by the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, his talent was really average. To this day, he is only at the first major realm of the extraordinary, and he can't even fly on a rainbow. How could he possibly know anything else?
Not to mention the ultimate imperial weapon that even the Holy Lord didn't have the chance to master!
"This is the most powerful existence in the cultivation civilization. Not just any cultivation civilization can achieve this."

Qi Hao laughed arrogantly.

After the initial shock and astonishment subsided, he remained defiant and his words were cutting.

However, Ye Fan and his classmates were in shock and had no time to respond to Qi Hao.

At the end of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, Wang Teng and Yan Ruyu stood side by side, looking at everything around them.

The starry sky was also new to them, but being well-traveled and knowledgeable, they naturally wouldn't be as surprised as Ye Fan and the others. Both of them had once wielded supreme imperial weapons, and even though Yan Ruyu couldn't activate a supreme imperial weapon, she was well aware of its power.

"So this is the starry sky I've gazed at so many times," Yan Ruyu said softly, her voice clear and melodious.

As a child, she often looked up at the bright starry sky.

At that time, she was very curious about everything in the starry sky. Especially before she started cultivating, she imagined that the stars were all shining brightly and that they were so close to each other that a single finger could cover a large area of ​​stars.

So, do all stars emit light and heat, and are they very close to each other?

Does each star represent a group of people who are not necessarily dazzling, but are very warm?
Childhood memories flooded her mind, and Yan Ruyu couldn't help but smile. Now, standing in the starry sky herself, she realized that this was the real starry sky.

In the vast expanse of space, a suffocating loneliness pervades.

Endless darkness surged like a tide, without a sound, so silent that even time seemed to have frozen.

Loneliness, a loneliness that seems eternal!

There was no sound!

This means there will be no response.

The distant stars are like solitary lamps scattered in the void, their faint light flickering billions of kilometers away. They are so far apart from each other that each one seems to have been exiled to the vast wasteland of the universe.

Those enormous nebulae are like a mysterious painting drawn with colorful smoke, beautiful yet cold.

There was no wind, no sign of life, only the occasional shooting star, like a lonely tear, momentarily illuminating a small patch of darkness before being quickly swallowed by solitude.

If one were to travel alone in the starry sky, gazing upon this desolate scene, it would likely affect one's Dao heart.

Fortunately, the principles of Heaven and Earth are always fair.

Without the realm of sages, one cannot draw power from the starry sky, and therefore cannot traverse it.

If one is at the level of a sage... their Dao heart is strong enough that ordinary things will not easily shake their Dao heart.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people traveling with me this time.

Otherwise, if one's Dao heart is not strong enough, one will probably be swallowed up by this boundless loneliness very soon!

The "boat" transformed from the Immortal-Slaying Gourd was not large, only a dozen or so feet in front and behind, and only eight or nine feet wide, so its range of movement was very small.

However, they were not so lonely.

Because they have companions.

Although there weren't many people, listening to their occasional reflections made a difference.

"Let me calculate how far it has flown..." Qi Hao began, then quickly gave up.

“It’s too far. Distance isn’t very useful in the vast expanse of the starry sky. You just need to point me in the general direction, and we can make minor adjustments along the way,” Qi Hao said.

"Okay!" Ye Fan nodded.

He looked back and could still see the seven brilliant stars, while his friend, who was an expert in astronomy, had found a constellation of stars as a reference point.

With two reference points, everything becomes much easier.

Ye Fan pointed out a direction.

Qi Hao nodded and rode the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in that direction.

Along the way, they kept making minor adjustments to their direction.

Ye Fan stared intently at the seven stars, while his classmate, who was well-versed in astronomy, kept looking around, trying to find a few of the required stars in the vast starry sky, and then use reverse calculation to locate them and adjust the direction little by little.

This slows things down considerably, and sometimes, just stopping to let the other person find a reference point can take a long time.

And so, as they walked and explored, they found a dilapidated five-colored altar.

"Found it! We can work backwards to figure some things out!" Qi Hao smiled.

He knew exactly where he was going, but he pretended not to, which exhausted him.

Now that he has found the Five-Colored Altar, even if Ye Fan and the others provide him with inaccurate coordinates, he can forcefully correct them and make the Immortal-Slaying Gourd rush towards the most correct direction.

However, the seemingly disorganized information that Ye Fan and the others provided based on their memories still contained some reliable details.

If we use their coordinates, the final error would probably be only a few thousand light-years.

Therefore, Qi Hao secretly took action.

The five-colored altar shone brightly once again. This time, it carried not a nine-dragon coffin, but an ultimate imperial weapon with a clear purpose!

It's the kind that can recover on its own anytime, anywhere!
With the opening of the spatial passage, they traversed the void at an even faster speed.

This process is much faster than simply flying!
In just a few days, they had already crossed several five-colored altars.

When the light shone again, they found themselves on a patch of red earth!
Perhaps due to environmental issues, the bodies here have not decomposed to this day!

They were dressed in strange clothes, which were at least incongruous with the clothes worn by Wang Teng and the others.

However, when Ye Fan and the others saw these corpses, they disregarded everything else and rushed down, stepping on the red sand, towards their former friends.

"These are their bodies! Exactly the same as when we left!"

Pang Bo spoke, his voice filled with excitement!
"We're really back! The first stop on our journey! The place that caused us so much loss!"

Some people knelt on the ground, holding the body of their former classmate, crying and laughing with emotion.

They were abandoned by the Nine Dragons Coffin in an unfamiliar land for many years, a land full of treachery and ruthless people. Although they were initially favored by extraordinary forces, their cultivation progressed very slowly, and some of them are still at the Divine Bridge realm.

Now that they have traversed the boundless void and returned to the place where the nightmare began, how could they not be excited?

Someone jumped to a high place, looked around, and finally saw that blue planet.

Tears streamed down their faces with excitement. They were speechless, only able to point at the star and make "ah ah ah ah" sounds.

Ye Fan looked up and saw the star. His long-held longing finally erupted, and even he had tears in his eyes.

They're really going back!
P.S.: I was in a meeting all day and I'm exhausted. I'll correct any typos tomorrow.
