Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 257 Open

It originated in the central region of the continent.

This place was once a bustling and prosperous area, the territory of the ruler of all realms.

But as the palace slowly rose, a bizarre and wondrous scene unfolded within nearly a trillion light-years, encompassing numerous kingdoms, including parts of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

The outermost layer is a chaotic spacetime with overlapping layers, which only beings who have reached the level of God-King can pass through to enter the central competition.

Even the most powerful God-King needs several days to traverse this chaotic spacetime layer, and even the Ancestor Yanfeng is no exception.

The palace was surrounded by a black sea.

The sea was gloomy, so dark that even light couldn't penetrate it, exuding an eerie aura of death that made people feel extremely depressed. Those with weak Dao hearts could almost see mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

There were scenes of gods and kings lying dead, continents shattered, and even emperors and monarchs falling. When Emperor Yan saw the scene of his own demise, his face turned ashen.

"The future holds infinite possibilities." Ancestor Yanfeng glanced at him calmly: "Seeing it doesn't mean it can come true."

If everything in the world is predetermined, then what is the point of their existence?

Lord Starburst once said that there is always a glimmer of hope on the path of cultivation.

"Yes." Di Yan's Dao heart was quite remarkable. He had committed many evils but felt no remorse. He was ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others.

The opportunity is right in front of us; we cannot afford to back down.

Furthermore, this sea area is extremely strange, as it restricts everyone's flight speed and completely seals off the void, prohibiting teleportation.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Zhou Lin also brought a large number of God-Kings with him. After passing through the chaotic spacetime on the outside, they could directly reach the sky above this boundless black sea.

An eerie atmosphere began to permeate the air again, and various scenes appeared before everyone's eyes, but what they saw was different for each of them, all of which were the scenes that they feared most.

The progenitors were absolutely immortal on the Origin Continent, so what they saw was Zhou Lin breaking free from his cage in the future.

Zhou Lin even saw the Thunder Ancestor become a high-level Chaos Origin...

"Master, I saw the great destruction of the Origin Continent, and I was annihilated in it," Morosa transmitted his voice, his face extremely grim.

Such is the fate of the Beast Realm; they are many times more cruel than the Destruction Demons.

From birth, countless beasts must fight each other to determine the final king. Then, when they arrive on the Origin Continent, they are almost unable to grow up and will die.

How long is a cycle of reincarnation? In the end, there were only two fully-formed Beast Kings.

Finally, they will perish along with the destruction of the source world.

The ultimate realm that destroys the demon race is also the ultimate realm that can withstand the Great Cataclysm.

"Don't let your Dao mind be disturbed." Zhou Lin said slowly, "You are a dignified Dao Enlightenment Stream Ultimate Realm cultivator, yet your mental will is not as good as mine. That is only a prediction of the future, not a guarantee that it will come true."

Morosa nodded sheepishly: "With the master here, there won't be any problems."

"........."

Zhou Lin remained silent.

Shouldn't a normal cultivator be thinking about striving to reach the ultimate realm of God King as soon as possible so as to escape their destiny of destruction?

When he was fighting with his own kind, Morosa was still so courageous, daring, cunning and treacherous, but now he has a complacent mentality.

Perhaps enslavement saved them from their fate, but it also suppressed their true nature.

Zhou Lin completely ignored those strange images; nothing could affect his Dao heart.

……

Both sides were hostile to each other, while the Earth God King sized up some unfamiliar faces on the other side and kept Zhou Lin informed.

"That god-king in gray armor should be God-King Pu Xu. He disappeared after his reincarnation, but I didn't expect him to come back to the forefront."

"That's the Rock Emperor, whose strength is no less than ours."

……

In the previous era, some reclusive god-kings came to join both sides. Most of them were quite powerful, but they were unwilling to get involved in the war.

If a second-level God King truly wanted to live in seclusion, there were countless ways to do so. Ancestor Yanfeng and Zhou Lin couldn't possibly rely on karma to find everyone.

"Just wait, it will open in half a day." The Thunder Ancestor said solemnly, "Yanfeng, is the grand formation ready?"

Ancestor Yanfeng nodded, his gaze fixed on the palace. Before it opened, no one was allowed to approach it without permission, so they were all waiting in the void.

……

In the center of the sea, suddenly, countless rays of light appeared, and the majestic palace released endless radiance. It was more sacred than the highest rules and contained various Dao auras.

Yuan has now comprehended dozens of ultimate paths and mastered the way of the operation of the Hunyuan rules. Every move he makes carries a divine charm that far surpasses the supreme rules.

The palaces he crafted naturally contained various kinds of auras.

Life, death, light, darkness—dozens of ultimate paths operate according to wondrous rules, thus constructing the palace itself, as vast as the ocean of the Great Dao.

Although it is called a palace, it is actually the carrier of the Great Dao, formed by the interweaving of countless laws and secret patterns. If it were fully released, its terrifying aura would make even high-level Origin beings tremble.

As the palace's opening hours decreased, the gods perceived more and more information.

First, only thirty god-kings are allowed to enter the palace.

In other words, only thirty beings can enter to compete for the secret treasures, bloodlines, remains, or even inheritances; the rest can only wait outside.

The selection process was extremely fair; whoever went in first got their turn. Even powerful figures like the Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor couldn't force their way in if they didn't manage to get in.

However, after obtaining the treasure, you still have to come out from the front.

The large group of god-kings were in an uproar. This method of entry clearly meant fighting on their own, so what did it have to do with factions?!

"Idiots!" Di Jiufeng scolded, "Use your brains and think about it. Even if you manage to sneak in and get the treasure, without the protection of your faction, can you bring it out?"

There is only one export outlet.

Not to mention the layers upon layers of spacetime on the outer perimeter, even powerful figures like Emperor Yan and Emperor Chu, let alone these God-Kings, would not be able to escape on their own.

Di Qing, Di Ming, and Feng Xi didn't care about factions.

Given their strength, once they obtain the treasure, they can keep it for themselves; no one could possibly kill an invincible being on the Origin Continent.

"Once inside, let's all show our skills."

Since Di Jiufeng played the bad cop, Yanfeng Ancestor naturally had to play the good cop: "After you get the treasure, the faction will protect you."

The Thunder Ancestor was even more disdainful. If it weren't for the factional battle, he would have already rebuked these weak god-kings.

This method of competing for a spot seems fair, but with the strength of those god-kings, can they really snatch it?
Even though they distributed the Chaos Origin Bloodline in large quantities and cultivated a bunch of Emperor-level combatants, they were still far too weak compared to Zhou Lin, Di Qing, Feng Xi, and others.

Even as the Ancestor Yanfeng spoke, he could instantly kill an Emperor with a single thought. The Lord of Myriad Realms stood silently, thinking to himself that if he had known it would be a matter of fighting each other, he wouldn't have made the blood oath. After entering, he would naturally have powerful treasures to exchange for.

But he never considered that if Zhou Lin hadn't bestowed upon him the supreme treasure, what would his strength amount to here?

The ultimate level of the Empty-Handed Enlightenment Style is nothing more than the strength of a Holy Lord. Even against the Great Venerable Fu Yi, it would be crushed and forced to flee in all directions.

"It's about to begin."

Zhou Lin was the most domineering, and his nine clones took a step forward together.

A massive wave of air surged towards the enemy camp!

boom!
"What a terrifying aura! It's definitely the upper limit of power on the Origin Continent!" Even the Flame Wind Ancestor didn't expect Zhou Lin's growth rate to be so rapid.

Boundless energy intertwined to form a giant golden net, like a primordial world pressing down upon us.

"break!"

The Progenitor of Flame Wind unleashed a powerful strike, shattering the attack.

He and the Thunder Ancestor had placed all their clones on the Origin Continent for this opportunity.

The method for determining who gets in is the same as that used by the Realm Heart Divine Palace.

Judging from the soul aura, it means that no matter how many clones enter, they will only occupy one spot.

When the Ancestor of Flame Wind was only maintaining his maximum power, he could create six clones. Any more than that and he would not be able to maintain the integrity of his soul and exert any power.

One more Thunder Ancestor is needed.

The most terrifying one is Feng Xi, the progenitor of the Eastern Extreme Domain. She can send out sixteen clones while only maintaining the upper limit of her power!
"So impatient?" Ancestor Yanfeng said coldly, "There's only an incense stick's time left before we can go in. You wouldn't be planning to start a major battle at this time, would you?"

Zhou Lin replied, "That's definitely not the case."

If war were to break out in this situation, which of the two god-kings would be happy?

It's more important to go in and seize the treasure; fighting to the death won't yield any treasure anyway.

Slaughter, the essence of war is for the sake of profit.

The Ancestors of Flame and Thunder launched this war by using the Primordial Bloodline, the God Emperor's Secret Treasure, and Ultimate Realm Lifeforms to attract the God King.

Zhou Lin, on the other hand, used top-tier and supreme treasures to attract them.

"But we need to weed out some useless people who aren't qualified to go in." Zhou Lin smiled slightly: "Eternal Night, descend!"

The nine clones unleashed this move simultaneously, which was enough to encompass an area of ​​countless light-years, and in an instant, endless darkness spread out!

Darkness shrouded the void, carrying with it an immense pressure on the soul.

Zhou Lin intends to annihilate all the Chaos Origin Bloodline God Kings in one move!

"town!"

Suddenly, the Ancestor of Flame Wind took out a large banner and planted it in the air. The eternal night spread over it but had no effect. The banner protected all living beings on his side.

Furthermore, this banner covers an extremely vast area, comparable to at least three Yanfeng Ancient Kingdoms, meaning it encompasses the entire void.

"So you were prepared all along." Zhou Lin wasn't surprised. It was good to see what kind of methods his opponent had as soon as possible. Yanfeng Ancestor knew that he was a master of the Soul Dao, so he couldn't possibly be unprepared.

In this era, there are many ways to resist soul attacks. With the wealth of the Flame Wind Ancestor, it wouldn't cost much to have someone in the Dark Holy Realm refine one.

Many of the powerful figures in the Dark Holy Realm had exchanged for secret treasures that could resist soul attacks. Based on these treasures, it was easy for them to copy a simple formation.

Moreover, Zhou Lin's soul technique is not strong enough; it is only effective against those with the Hunyuan bloodline, and normal Dao-enlightening God Kings are completely unafraid of it.

If this were during the Snow Eagle era, it would be considered a fatal blow, and those bloodline-flowing god kings would all die instantly.

Unfortunately, in a different era, there aren't that many bloodline-based god-kings.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn quickly passed.

In the instant the palace was about to open, countless layers of domains instantly covered billions of kilometers of void, and everyone was working together to unleash their abilities.

boom!
Fortunately, the power limit of the Origin Continent is not like that of the Primitive Universe, so even if everyone attacks together, it will be limited.

True powerhouses have no fear of such things.

Di Qing, his sword formation swaying and his green robes fluttering, was the first to reach the palace. The raging explosions did not hinder his progress.

Zhou Lin, Yanfeng Ancestor, Leiting Ancestor, Dongji Domain Ancestor, as well as Di Ming, the Lord of Myriad Realms, the Realm Beast A Yu, Moro Sa, and others also arrived one after another.

They were incredibly fast and powerful, and they had many clones. Ordinary god-kings dared not contend with them and all gave way.

Once the strongest in the public eye enter, the remaining spots will be contested even more fiercely, as the void is only ten trillion kilometers away from the palace.

Zhou Lin and his group could arrive instantly, while the other God-Kings would have to fly for several tens of seconds.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Each of the god-kings was fighting desperately, using all their skills to break in, since the Flame Wind Ancestor had promised that the faction would protect them once they came out.

The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord unleashed boundless golden light and suddenly charged downwards.

He served Emperor Yan for countless years, all for resources. He conquered all directions and devoured billions of living beings, all for resources. For the path of cultivation, the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom was willing to risk everything.

"Once I get inside and obtain enough treasures, I'll find a chance to leave the Origin Continent." The golden light surrounding the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord was actually his ultimate move!
The Great Extinction Golden Light!
After refining a stronger Hunyuan bloodline and obtaining a more powerful secret treasure, he also improved this move, which he now uses to protect himself, like a domain.

The Fire Ancestor, the Wind Queen, the Lord of the Shadow Heaven Realm, the Lord of the Mother River, and the Earth God King—these overlords were all displaying their supernatural powers.

"Oh? Emperor Yan, Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Chu have already reached a level of invincibility?" Zhou Lin stepped into the palace, still keeping an eye on the battle situation behind him.

No one dared to stop them in the slightest.

The Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor have this ability, but they won't go against Zhou Lin right now, otherwise they might be beaten to it by someone else.

After Zhou Lin and his group went inside, the battle outside became many times more intense.

"Tiankun! You think you can get in?" The Earth God King roared, causing the mountains and rivers for billions of kilometers to tremble and the Black Sea to surge.

"Nobody can stand in my way!"

The many god-kings went mad with killing, and corpses kept falling from the sky into the boundless black sea, where they sank to the deepest part.

"Unable to reincarnate?!" A god-king was afraid and tried to use the secret technique of reincarnation but found that he could not succeed. The next second, he was blasted into pieces.

The so-called reincarnation technique is not difficult for the Hunyuan lords to prohibit; with a little effort, they can make it absolutely impossible for reincarnation to occur in this area.

The only good news is that cause and effect are blocked here, so if those god-kings have a resurrection vessel in the outside world, they can be reborn through this.

Rumble!
The sky kept exploding, and one after another, the god-kings bled and then withdrew from the battlefield. Such a terrifying battle even forced many emperors and monarchs to retreat in defeat.

The conflict finally ended after all thirty people had entered the palace, and the god-kings returned to their respective camps.
