Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 409 Chaotic Celestial Iron

Rorschach looked at the towering giant with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you……"

The giant laughed and said, "You can call me General."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sixteen staffs surrounding him trembled slightly, unleashing an endless surge of willpower. If Luo Xia hadn't already adapted to this surge of willpower, his soul would probably have been destroyed in an instant.

Rorschach looked at the sixteen sticks...

It can be clearly seen that one of the sixteen sticks has the same secret pattern as the one on the No. 2 black-patterned stone pillar.

"Could this black-patterned stone pillar be the weapon of this so-called general?"

Luo Xia wondered to himself.

The general seemed to be able to read Luo Xia's mind. Before Luo Xia could ask, he laughed and said, "That's right. What you call the black-patterned stone pillars are actually my psychic weapons. There were sixteen of them in total, and they were scattered here after my death..."

Is that black-veined stone pillar, which is probably thousands of light-years tall, a weapon powered by one person's telekinesis?!

Rorschach said it was impossible not to be surprised.

His eyes widened.

He had considered many possibilities regarding the black-patterned stone pillars, but he never imagined they would be telekinetic weapons.

"General, have you already fallen?"

Luo Xia looked at the towering giant with curiosity. Now that the giant had fallen, was what he was seeing now just like the Star God King, a remnant of his former will?

A god-king level expert is indeed terrifying. Even though their physical body has been dead for countless years, the thought they left behind makes it seem as if the other party is still truly alive...

"I perished countless ages ago..."

The towering giant sighed, "What you see of me now is merely a thought of mine. Young man, you are remarkable. For countless ages, I believed that no one could approach my Chaos Celestial Iron before becoming an Eternal True God, yet you did. What surprises me most is that your true level is merely that of a Universe Master, not even a True God..."

"Even the Lord of the Universe can get close to my Chaos Celestial Iron. Even my former subordinates couldn't do that. Their ultimate achievements were mostly Void Gods and Eternal Gods!"

Rorschach looked at the general in surprise.

In the cosmic sea, no one, regardless of who they are, can utter any information related to the "Void God." Yet now, the general speaks of it calmly and easily, as if even the supreme rules must yield to him when he opens his mouth...

How powerful must a general have been to accomplish this?

Could it be that he has already reached that level?

Luo Xia pondered, a look of surprise still on his face, "So the real name of these black-patterned stone pillars is Chaos Celestial Iron?"

The general laughed and said, "The reason it's called this is because I once obtained a special treasure called Celestial Star from the depths of chaos. I eventually forged that treasure into these sixteen psychic weapons. That's where the name Chaotic Celestial Star Iron comes from."

Luo Xia nodded. "General, why does this Chaos Celestial Iron possess such a powerful will-based impact?"

In the area where he is now, the intensity of the will impact emanating from the Chaos Celestial Iron is almost comparable to the primordial pressure of the original universe, which is extremely terrifying!

"This Chaos Celestial Iron can absorb and greatly amplify the soul will of its holder. Back then, these sixteen pieces of Chaos Celestial Iron followed me on the battlefield, absorbing the will of countless powerful beings, which naturally resulted in such a powerful impact on my will."

Luo Xia suddenly realized why the impact of the Chaotic Star Iron's will was so terrifying—it even distorted spacetime, making the flow of time completely different everywhere.

This power is truly terrifying!

"I have long since perished. If you find this Chaos Celestial Iron plunderable, then take it and use it," the general said with a smile.

Rorschach was overjoyed and, without standing on ceremony, said, "This lad thanks the General in great gratitude!"

"Haha! Great! I love this kind of personality!"

The general was also straightforward, and he was even happier to see Luo Xia being so direct.

"General, how do I collect these Chaos Celestial Iron?" Luo Xia asked.

The general said, "You'll collect these Chaos Celestial Iron pieces in the same way you normally collect treasures. However... while your soul will is very strong, your cultivation level is ultimately too low. With your current strength, you simply cannot collect all sixteen pieces of Chaos Celestial Iron!"

"The general means..."

"With your current strength, you can at most recognize a piece of Chaos Star Iron as your master, and until you become the Chaos Ruler, you will not be able to unleash more than 50% of the Chaos Star Iron's power."

Luo Xia was surprised, "Aren't these sixteen pieces of Chaos Celestial Iron a single entity? Why do they need to be recognized as a master one by one?"

"They are a set, but they are special in that each piece of Chaos Celestial Iron needs to be individually recognized by a master."

The general gave a simple explanation.

Rorschach suddenly realized, "I see."

He looked at the black-veined stone pillar, which was thousands of light-years tall, and said to the general, "Then, general, I am beginning to acknowledge my master..."

"Just admit it."

The towering giant smiled broadly, "When you acknowledge me as your master, you will need to withstand an impact from the will of the Chaos Celestial Iron. This impact will be the most powerful, one that even the Chaos Ruler might not be able to withstand!"

"Even the Chaos Ruler might not be able to withstand such an impact of will..." Luo Xia murmured, raising an eyebrow as he infused his divine power into the black-patterned stone pillar. As his divine power was injected, the world suddenly changed!

In Luo Xia's sea of ​​consciousness, a towering, infinitely tall stone pillar suddenly appeared, as if it wanted to pierce through Luo Xia's sea of ​​consciousness, its immense size nearly filling it completely.

Then, the towering, infinitely tall stone pillar suddenly collapsed!

boom!

As the stone pillar collapsed, a storm of consciousness erupted in Luo Xia's sea of ​​consciousness!

As if an endless surge of soul power were churning, Luo Xia felt waves of pain in his soul, as if his soul was about to collapse!

Luo Xia was surprised. As expected, the impact of the will that could even cause the Chaos Ruler to perish was truly terrifying!

but……

When his soul enslaved the primordial universe, the soul impact he suffered was far more terrifying and horrifying than it is now!

He survived all that!

Moreover, now.

Amidst waves of terrifying shocks that seemed capable of tearing apart the soul, Rorschach's soul shone ever brighter.

"oh!?"

The general made an unexpected sound.

Within that radiant soul, he seemed to see an existence that surpassed his former self. That existence was so majestic that endless time and reincarnation no longer held any meaning for him.

He stood silently in the unknown void.

The general stared at him, stunned, for a long while. Then, tears of blood welled up in his eyes, and he shouted excitedly to himself:

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! We can still keep going! We really can keep going!"

He shouted that many times.

It was as if he was shouting to himself, and also to his comrades and compatriots who had fought alongside him!

After a long while, the general sighed dejectedly, "What a pity, we've all taken the wrong path. If only... what's the point of talking about 'if only' now?"

He looked at his comrades-in-arms standing shoulder to shoulder with him and murmured softly, "Don't look back, there's no way out of where we came from, alas..."

While the general was feeling sentimental, Luo Xia had already recognized the No. 2 black-patterned stone pillar, also known as the Chaos Celestial Star Iron, as his master.

Rumble rumble rumble...

All the powerful figures gathered around the No. 2 black-patterned stone pillar saw that the black-patterned stone pillar, which was tens of millions of light-years tall, began to rumble. The next moment, it suddenly shrank rapidly and finally disappeared into the endless chaos.

The powerful were bewildered.

What happened?

Where is that huge black-veined stone pillar?!
