Yuan’s Ascension

Chapter 1162: Mythic-tier Star (3)

Within the vast spacetime vortex.

The Sword Dragon King visited a total of 6937 stars in its long existence, ninety percent of which were Low-tier Stars. Wu Yuan’s gaze swept over the countless miniature spacetime passages.

Their structures were indeed similar to Saint Realm passages, only far more expansive.

Based on the Sword Dragon King’s information, Wu Yuan knew which star each miniature spacetime passage led to.

There are nine High-tier Stars in total. I’ll investigate them one by one first, to see if I can find the path to the Mythic-tier Star. Wu Yuan frowned. Ideally, both true selves should join forces to attempt the challenge. I need to find a way for the two true selves to rendezvous.

According to the Eldritch Court’s intelligence, there was only one Mythic-tier Star– the origin of the entire Xuanhuang Cosmiris, which also held the ultimate secrets of the entire River of Universes dimension. Only a few High-tier Stars could lead to the Mythic-tier Star.

Let’s go. Wu Yuan’s mana body stepped into one of the miniature spacetime passages.

…

Although the two true selves shared their consciousnesses and could sense each other from afar, they were unaware of which stars they currently occupied. Therefore, they would need time to explore each star, extracting information from each guardian beast king.

In the blink of an eye, three months went by.

On a star extremely far from where Wu Yuan’s mana body had descended was a canyon stretching for billions of li and millions of li wide.

“Roar!” “Roar!” Hordes of beasts, each at the Overlord level, howled frantically, surging forward like a tempestuous flood. Hundreds of beast king-level creatures furiously besieged the lone central figure.

Swish! That dazzling black streak of light, moving like a ghostly specter, effortlessly evaded the attacks of one beast king after another. Accompanying each dodge was a flash of blade rays, felling beast kings left and right.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred beast kings lay dead, some with severed heads, others with bodies torn asunder.

“Roar~”

“Retreat! This is absolutely one of the most formidable otherworldly gods and devils!”

“We can’t hold! Flee!” The remaining beast kings, finally unable to withstand the attacks, fled in terror through the various passages at the bottom of the canyon, scattering like lightning in all directions.

These wild beasts, though relatively low in intelligence, were born for battle. They lived to fight, growing stronger through combat. But ultimately, they were limited to the Overlord level. Even with intelligence no greater than an ordinary person’s, they still feared death.

“Fleeing? What a pity. I had hoped to gather you all in one place. Now I’ll have to expend more effort to kill you.” A voice rang out as the black streak of light erupted with full force.

Swish! As dazzling blade rays crisscrossed the void, countless light rays in outer space were distorted. Each blade ray stretched for millions of li, with new ones forming before the previous had fully dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred beast kings were slaughtered, their corpses littering the ground as blood stained the entire canyon crimson.

The few remaining beast kings fled in terror, desperate to escape this fearsome god of death.

Whoosh! The wind howled as a black streak finally halted in midair, coalescing into Wu Yuan’s ether body.

Three thousand beast kings slaughtered. The task is finally complete. What a troublesome ordeal. I had to scour sixty Mid-tier Stars before finally filling this Beastblood Soulcrystal. Wu Yuan’s ether body looked down at the blood-red crystal in his hand.

The crystal was translucent, emanating a mysterious aura. With eighty-one facets, it appeared flawless.

One month ago, Wu Yuan’s two true selves had successfully reunited, then spent several days finding the path to the Mythic-tier Star from a High-tier Star.

However, opening this path proved extremely difficult. Even with Wu Yuan’s two true selves working together, it took a lot of effort to reach the final step.

First, they had to decipher and complete the final array.

Second, they needed to fill three Beastblood Soulcrystals.

The Beastblood Soulcrystal was a special artifact from the Ancient Mythic Path. It stored the essence and souls of beast kings, with each crystal requiring the lives of three thousand beast kings to fill.

With Wu Yuan’s abilities, his ether body and body refiner self acted separately. In one month, they had slaughtered beasts across over a hundred stars. Only today, with some luck, did they find the Myriad Beasts Cave and finally accumulate enough kills.

Of course, though the process sounded simple when described, it was in fact a bloody and violent affair. Along the way, they encountered many foreign Overlord cultivators, most of whom they didn’t recognize. Wu Yuan couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

However, Wu Yuan’s frenzied slaughter shocked many Overlords. After they left, most reported this incident.

As a result, Wu Yuan’s deeds were once again recorded in vivid detail in the Xuanhuang Cosmiris Intelligence Reports of many major powers.

Time to rendezvous with my qi refiner self. Wu Yuan’s ether body took a step and flew in the direction of the teleportation array.

Soon, activating the spacetime vortex, Wu Yuan’s ether body arrived at a desolate star. It was a ‘weak’ High-tier Star.

The reason it was weak was because all the Overlord-level beasts on the entire star had been slaughtered by Wu Yuan. This included the guardian beast king of the treasure ground, a fourth-stage Overlord and the most powerful beast there. Now, the collective power of the beasts on this High-tier Star was inferior to many Low-tier Stars.

However, the Xuanhuang Cosmiris was extremely special. After a long period of time, the beast population on the star would naturally recover to normal levels. By the next opening of the Xuanhuang Cosmiris, it would once again be occupied by many powerful beasts.

…

Passing through the desolate land, Wu Yuan’s ether body finally reached a desert. At the end of the desert stood a sprawling hall complex stretching over 100 million li.

These halls were in ruins, many half-collapsed, with huge beast corpses lying on the ground. The walls and ground were covered in shocking saber marks – all the handiwork of Wu Yuan’s body refiner self.

These restrictions. Wu Yuan’s ether body flew through the air above the halls, instinctively looking up.

The entire hall complex was covered by an extremely powerful barrier, making it impossible to fly over it from a high altitude. There was only one path through – force.

If the rules were a bit more humane, you might have lived another day. Wu Yuan thought as his gaze swept over the beast corpses.

The Mythic Ancient Path. Wu Yuan finally arrived at the deepest part of the hall complex. Here stood a colossal hall over a million li tall, jet-black and emanating an endless, vast, and weighty aura.

When Wu Yuan first saw it, he knew the hall was an ultimate treasure and tried to move it, ultimately failing.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan’s ether body entered the hall, gently landing on the ground. Upon entering, it was like stepping into another world. Huge black thrones constructed from an unknown material floated in the void.

Each throne was empty, covered in a thick layer of dust. They seemed to have fused with spacetime itself, unmoving.

Thrones. This place seems to have once been an important meeting hall. Wu Yuan’s ether body scanned the place.

Over the past month, he had observed these thrones countless times. The more he observed, the more he could sense that the nature of these thrones was special. Unfortunately, just like the hall itself, the thrones could not be moved, nor could their profundities be unraveled.

Is the entire Xuanhuang Cosmiris truly born from the Primordial Rules? A thought flashed unbidden through Wu Yuan’s mind.

As he traveled across different stars over the months, hunting beast kings and exploring their treasure grounds, he uncovered numerous remnants of the past—structures and artifacts that seemed far too intricate to be natural formations of heaven and earth.

The ultimate treasure ground of this High-tier Star was the most obvious example. Halls like the one before him were certainly not easily built.

I am nearly invincible in the River of Universes, yet there are still many secrets in this vast cosmic sea that I don’t understand, even within the River of Universes. Wu Yuan mused inwardly.

Whoosh! Enduring an unseen pressure, Wu Yuan’s ether body moved quickly, yet still took half a day to cross one million li to reach the end of the hall.

Here stood an enormous divine pillar spanning the entire temple. It emitted an ancient and vast aura, with countless complex cryptic patterns engraved on it.

Wu Yuan’s body refiner self and qi refiner self sat beneath the divine pillar, silently cultivating and comprehending.

The method of myth. Leap through the heavenly gate. Wu Yuan’s qi refiner self had been here all this time.

Shortly after seeing the divine pillar, he had discerned the profundities of the Dao patterns engraved upon it. It held the secret to reaching the Mythic-tier Star.

Beastblood Soulcrystal, take your place. Wu Yuan’s ether body waved his hand, and a blood-red crystal flew out from his palm, landing in a depression high up on the divine pillar.

Two translucent Beastblood Soulcrystals were already inlaid, one in the middle and the other in the lower section of the divine pillar.

Click! With a faint sound, the final Beastblood Soulcrystal flew into place. It was the final missing piece, completing the divine pillar.
