The God of Heavens

Chapter 312 Dragon Horse and Divine Ox, what's it called?
Hangu Pass.

It was a rare opportunity to encounter someone connected to Lao Tzu, so Lin Yu generously bestowed a reward upon him as a way of thanking Lao Tzu for the legacy he had received in Ziwei.

Finally, they passed through the city and were greeted by a vast starry sky. The starlight shone brightly, boundless and serene.

Not far away, a five-colored altar appeared. It was only a few meters in diameter, and its stone was crystal clear, shimmering with various colors.

"Ascending this platform is like stepping into the starry sky; the sages of the past departed from here."

Xuan Chi raised his hand and pointed, saying:
"There are many small altars ahead. Once you find one, you can proceed to the next location. Step by step, you will reach deeper into the starry sky."

"Okay, thank you! Let's go!"

Lin Yu nodded and parted ways with Xuan Chi.

Those around him also bid farewell. This was the final step into the starry sky. After this departure, who knows how many years it will be before they look back.

"brush!"

On the five-colored altar, the Eight Trigrams Gate shone brightly, piercing through the path ahead. In an instant, the group vanished, plunging into the boundless starry sky.

The crowd was filled with emotion and could not calm down.

Even the sacred beast dragon-horse from Kunlun Mountain was somewhat uneasy, let alone the young cultivators who were not very old.

If it weren't for the constant communication through divine sense, one would almost go mad with silent despair in this starry sky.

Soon, the first hurdle was reached.

They appeared on a desolate star, a scene of utter loneliness, with thin air and no sign of life.

"finally reached."

Is this the world beyond Earth?

Why are there no living beings?

Many young cultivators from Earth's cultivation world looked up at the starry sky with excitement, and then surveyed their surroundings.

Leaving Earth's environment gives one the feeling of stepping into a new world. Although the new world is not very friendly, it also invigorates everyone's spirits.

Ye Fan's expression suddenly hardened: "It's the aura of the Divine Source!" He keenly sensed the special fluctuations coming from the depths of the sand sea.

The group transformed into streaks of light and flew away, arriving in front of a magnificent building in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Qingyang's eyes widened: "Pyramids? Could they be temples where the ancient Egyptians worshipped?" But he soon realized something was amiss.

Under the starlight, it was pure white, gleaming with an eerie light, and was actually made of piled-up bones. The tower was hundreds of meters high, and tens of thousands of bones were engraved with Dao patterns.

Besides human remains, there are also remains of various strange races, which testify to the earth-shattering battle that took place outside Hangu Pass.

"There are living things inside the tower," Ye Fan whispered.

The aura of the divine source emanated from the tower, while hundreds of life fluctuations lurked beneath the surrounding sea of ​​sand.

A rustling sound suddenly rang out, and dozens of sand lines as thick as water vats rapidly approached from underground.

Before long, hundreds of crimson light blades pierced through the air and attacked.

Hundreds of crimson ant monsters, each over three meters long, with bodies sculpted like coral, possessed immense strength and were able to shatter the void as they pursued them.

"What the hell? How can there be any living things in this godforsaken place? How do they survive?"

Ye Fan said in a deep voice, "It is divine source. These creatures are not native species. They should be alien races that were trapped here back then."

"Go!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and waved it, and the dragon horse involuntarily soared into the sky, its crimson essence surging into the heavens.

It stomped its hoof on the ground, creating a huge hole that almost lifted up the entire desert.

"Crack!"

Countless ants, as large as bulls, all met their demise with a metallic cracking sound.

“You…” Longma was furious.

"What do you mean 'you'? Get to work! As one of the beasts of burden, isn't it only natural for you to do more work?"

Lin Yu spoke with conviction:

"Even if you were born with innate essence and energy to form a spirit, it cannot change your race. Who told you to choose this model?"

"You...damn it!"

With a loud boom, a colossal creature, over ten meters long, burst forth from the ground.

Its entire body was crimson and crystal clear, with flowing rosy light; with a gentle tremor, the void shattered inch by inch.

With its innate racial supernatural abilities, it possessed the strength to uproot mountains and an overwhelming killing intent, locking onto everyone present.

"These are nothing but the remnants of the defeated army that attacked Hangu Pass back then. They are nothing to fear. Kill them all." Lin Yu's expression was cold.

"How dare you! When I roamed Kunlun, who dared to disobey me? You're just a remnant of an invading force from back then, yet you dare to boast? I can crush you with a single kick!"

The dragon-horse raised its head and neighed, rearing up on its hind legs, and with lightning speed, stomped its hoof down on the divine ant's head. Before the divine ant could react, another hoof landed.

"Dang! Dang! Dang..."

A resounding clang echoed across the sky as the dragon-horse stomped its hooves eight times. When the ninth hoof struck, the divine ant raised its pincers to resist.

The dragon-horse's divine light surged, transforming into a bolt of lightning. With a "poof," the divine ant was trampled into a huge hole, its body shattered, and its life force was extinguished.

"Little ant, how ridiculous!"

Longma extracted the primordial spirit, and upon examining its sea of ​​consciousness, discovered it was a descendant of an ancient sage who had attacked Hangu Pass years ago. He then crushed it. In the end, all the remaining ants were found and exterminated, and the group found a small five-colored altar and embarked on their journey once more.

The group continued their journey, traversing the void multiple times, only to land on desolate planets one after another. Almost every place they went was embroiled in fierce battles.

In the distant past, many powerful races attacked Hangu Pass. After their defeat, their descendants were trapped on the ancient star road outside the Hangu Pass fortress.

Lin Yu discovered that these races did not come for the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, but had embarked on their journey much earlier, their purpose remaining a mystery.

In ancient times, the sages who sought the cauldron of immortality mostly came from the three ancient stars of Huosang, Tongtian, and Gouchen, while these races came from other star regions.

Trapped to this day, they harbor hostility towards all those who journey westward.

Along the way, they also encountered some terrifying life forms and even some semi-sacred artifacts, so Lin Yu no longer held back.

He directly unleashed the Hell Furnace, and the celestial fire swept across everything, turning countless monsters into ashes wherever it passed.

"You carry the load, I lead the horse. We welcome the sunrise and bid farewell to the sunset. We smooth out the bumps and pave the way..."

Everyone was excited. This place was like crossing the starry sky, heading west out of Hangu Pass, subduing demons and monsters and slaying various powerful alien races along the way. It really had a bit of the feel of Journey to the West.

When the group landed on the nineteenth ancient star, they obtained a message from the consciousness of the defeated powerhouse: there exists a life-bearing ancient star in the depths of the universe called "Flying Immortal".

"Why were the saints so eager to attack Earth from Feixian Star countless ages ago?" Ye Fan murmured to himself.

These powerful figures who attacked Hangu Pass were from a very ancient era, long before the ancient stars like Huosang and Tongtian, and their target was not the Immortal Cauldron.

The phrase "flying immortal" is full of mystery, inspiring many to speculate.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo both memorized the name. An ancient star named "Flying Immortal" in the vast universe was no ordinary place.

Could it really be possible to find a celestial destiny on that star?

After much discussion, the group decided to return to Beidou first and then make further plans.

Several days later, upon arriving at the twenty-third planet, everyone held their breath at the sight before them—

Seven bright stars are shining in the depths of the starry sky.

"That's... the Big Dipper?!" Pang Bo's voice trembled with excitement.

"That's right! It's the Big Dipper Star Region!" Yunlan couldn't hide her excitement.

"Is that our final destination?"

Even Long Xiaoque and Huang Tiannv got excited.

Ye Fan seemed thoughtful: "The premise is that we didn't accidentally enter the ancient road leading to Flying Immortal Star."

Lin Yu laughed loudly, "Now that we see the Seven Stars, the Big Dipper is already in sight. Even crossing the void is only a short distance away."

"Indeed, with your strength, what part of this vast starry sea could possibly trap us?"

The group exchanged smiles, regrouped, and continued their journey.

Emerging from the five-colored altar, a new world unfolds before you, the ground riddled with large holes, pits, and craters.

"What kind of monster is it this time?" Everyone was used to it.

They've seen everything along the way; the number of monsters they've killed could fill a book.

"Buzz!"

The sound of flapping wings was deafening. Countless pterosaur-like creatures swooped down, spewing out dazzling blades of light from their mouths, with faint ripples of power capable of piercing gold and splitting stone.

"Pterodactyls? Or Jurassic World?"

Without Lin Yu lifting a finger, the group, led by Long Ma, fought fiercely.

In an instant, hundreds of pterosaur-like creatures were torn apart by blood and flesh, killed in the sky.

"Look, what's that?" Long Yuxuan pointed to the horizon.

The stars twinkled, the fog was so thick it couldn't be dispersed, and at the edge of the sky, a vast expanse of islands appeared.

The shadows stretched out, like a high and mighty kingdom of gods, overlooking everything on earth.

"Humans? That's a rare sight indeed!" A powerful surge of divine thought emanated from them.

Then, countless five-colored "winged dragons," densely packed and numbering in the tens of thousands, rushed towards the crowd.

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Lin Yu waved his sleeve, and the Gods' Battle Robe flew out with a whoosh, the sleeves covering the sky and the sun.

In the blink of an eye, there were no more creatures on the floating island. All the pterosaurs were wiped out, and even the king of the pterosaurs fell into Lin Yu's sleeve.

Among these pterosaurs, several have already attained the Dao and possess forbidden artifacts from ancient saints, enough to dominate a region. With their countless minions, even an ordinary person with a saintly artifact can only protect themselves and will eventually be worn down.

They encountered Lin Yu, but ended up being wiped out in one fell swoop, so invading Earth is out of the question.

"Ancient books record that this is an ant dragon, which has strong vitality and reproduces extremely quickly, comparable to ants. Its living environment is very different from that of humans. It directly devours minerals and other materials to obtain what it needs for life."

Someone recognized the monster and explained.

"I thought it was a pterosaur, but it turned out to be an insect. I've never seen anything like it before. They've eaten up at least half the planet," Pang Bo said.

"These little creatures reproduce extremely quickly and can devour ore. With some modifications, they would be quite good as miners."

At this moment, countless ant-dragons were swept away from the entire floating island, leaving it completely clean, without a single living creature.

Lin Yu raised his hand and grabbed a five-colored altar.
