Chapter 910: Chapter 905: Starlight in the Darkness 1

"That’s right, it’s exactly the Wan Yao River you’re thinking of." Jiu Se nodded, confirming their suspicions.

"The Wan Yao River has appeared, which means... Operation Lotus should be soon..." spoke Divine Ancestor Yannaiya solemnly.

"It’s said that a glimpse of Operation Lotus can be seen through a gap at the bottom of Wan Yao River. The truth of this legend is unknown."

Yuzi spoke seriously.

"Regardless of the truth, the Wan Yao River is a mysterious river implied to belong to the Heavenly Demon Army Master. Countless corpses have floated through it over the ages. If the Season Lord wants fertilizer, there’s plenty to be found there. Fertilizer better than the corpses of Taoist Ancestors may also be abundant," Jiu Se smiled. "Like the remnants of the clock tree...."

The Season Lord shuddered all over.

"I’ll take on this mission!"

The clock tree....

A legendary divine tree said to hold the secrets of time.

Even Taoist Ancestors desire it greatly.

The Season Lord is already a Nebula Layer strong figure among the Taoist Ancestors, ranking third in the four power levels, almost next to the Future Buddha’s Constellation Level.

Yet, the allure of a terrifying secret treasure like the clock tree is irresistible.

"Then, may our cooperation be fruitful," Jiu Se smiled gently.

"Why not wait a bit longer? Divine Monarch, you are soon to fully restore half of the Future Buddha’s true power. Wouldn’t it be better to act at your peak?"

Divine Ancestor Yannaiya spoke up.

"There’s no time... We don’t have much time left." Jiu Se shook his head slightly.

*********************

The Tenth Heavenly Realm.

"Hahahahaha!! Die, die, all of you, go die for me!!!"

Beside the River of Aging, a colossal giant several tens of thousands of miles tall held twin hammers, madly hammering at the countless golden light path soldiers around him.

Each swing of his hammers turned tens of thousands of these golden figures into pulp.

The figures resembled Buddha Arhats, wearing simple robes, with a shining golden swastika on their foreheads.

They showed no expression, utterly abandoning all skills and divine skills, their entire bodies igniting with golden flames, using themselves entirely as fuel to charge at the giant.

Though not small in size, each standing over three meters tall, compared to the giant, they were as dust.

"Buddha saves this life."

In the distance, suddenly a golden whirlpool emerged in the void, a giant gold Buddha hand shot out, stamping down on the giant’s chest with blistering speed.

Boom!!!

The hand, almost equal in size to the giant, covered almost the entirety of him in its palm.

The blow forced the giant to retreat several steps, leaving abyss-like footprints on the ground.

"When the Buddha wants you dead, you can only pray for the next life." The golden hand retracted and then slammed down again with force.

"Arrogant!!"

The giant raised his twin hammers.

"Golden Antelope Divine Light!!"

He roared wildly, his forehead splitting open to reveal a black mouth, spewing a massive beam of black mixed with silver.

The beam met the golden hand directly, collapsing the heavenly realm space, revealing threads of colorful cracks, portals leading to the Eleventh Heavenly Realm.

Several million Spirit Miles away from the raging battle, on a desolate gray sand dune.

Fang Yu, cloaked in black, silently watched the terrifying battle in the distance that seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Behind him stood several others in black cloaks, all of varying builds.

"Ding Mu Heavenly Venerable is edging towards the Galactic Core Realm, huh..."

Fang Yu sighed slightly.

"Master, do you find it regrettable?" the Red Soul Skeleton King among the black-cloaked figures grinned.

"The nine-colored army presses, with hidden hands lurking, if we don’t act this way, sooner or later, he might realize it and turn the tables on us."

Fang Yu shook his head.

The other black-cloaked figures said nothing, but they knew well that with the shattering of Operation Lotus, the next fight for the Heavenly Classics Compendium would be a life and death struggle.

When this grand battle ends, this black universe would be finished.

Without countless millennia of regenerating, replaying the cosmos, nothing in this black universe could ever return to its original form.

"It’s coming."

Suddenly Fang Yu looked up at the sky.

There, a golden vortex slowly opened up.

Two giant Buddha hands extended from the vortex, trying to pull themselves out from there.

’All formations are impermanent. The void is immovable, therefore eternally so. Buddha nature is immovable, therefore eternally so. The void is Buddha nature. Buddha nature is the Tathāgata.

The Tathāgata is immovable. Immoveables are eternally so. The eternal is law. Law is priesthood. Priesthood is immovable. Immoveables are eternally so.....’

In the air, a murmured chant echoed continuously.

Countless golden lotus petals drifted down slowly.

Wisps of sandalwood scent wafted from unknown origins, quietly entering the noses of the people.

"...The Wan Yao River emerges, it seems Jiu Se can wait no longer..."

Fang Yu lightly cast aside his black cloak, revealing a grotesque armor wrapping his entire body.

This was the Abyssal Realm Artifact he acquired from Shadow City — the Soul Hunting Armor.

Only an Abyssal Realm Artifact could evolve continuously with his rising strength.

In the sky, the golden Buddha had now emerged more than halfway.

From the vortex flew several indistinct shapes, each enveloped in powerful forces of varying hues.

These were powerful heavenly venerable beings allied with Jiu Se.

The Red Soul Skeleton King and his fellows saw them and likewise snorted coldly, throwing off their black cloaks, bodies soaring into the sky, erupting into terrifying black or red deathly auras, charging towards the sky.

Fang Yu stretched out his hand, lightly grasping.

Immediately a string of silver, exquisite chimes appeared in his hand.

Cling.

In the clear, crisp sound, several transparent strong void shadows slowly manifested, floating by Fang Yu’s side.

"Troubling you, fellow Daoists."

Fang Yu politely said.

"Buddha Ancestor, you’re too polite." Among them, one was surprisingly the Green Lake Mountain Taoist Ancestor, the fourth Yun Ce.

"Before the Ten Thousand Demon River emerges, it seems Jiu Se wants to have a confrontation with us first." The Nine Ring Immortal Melody Ancestor said lightly.

"We invested so much in him, yet in the end, he stood by while our sect was destroyed."

"Everyone, let’s go."

Fang Yu smiled slightly.

He was the first to rise into the sky, flying towards the golden vortex.

The other Taoist Ancestors quickly followed.

At this moment, within the vortex, the figures of Jiu Se Divine Lord and the three Taoist Ancestors of the Four Seasons slowly appeared.

Jiu Se and Fang Yu’s gazes met instantly, one sharp and the other cold.

********************

Hiss.....

Lin Xin was devouring madly.

All his power, all his spirit, were constantly repeating one process.

That was to devour, digest, strengthen, and then devour again.

His physique crazily enlarged in the continuous cycle of devouring and strengthening.

From barely a hundred meters before, he had now expanded to several thousand meters in size.

"It’s a pity... the strengthening amplification of attributes isn’t a fixed ratio."

Lin Xin felt regret in his heart.

The later the enhancement of the four attributes, the more powerful it became, which was indeed a fact.

Now he’s dozens of times stronger than at first.

But the rate at which he devours and absorbs hasn’t increased by those dozens of times.

The white silky substance itself had a flow speed.

Previously, he was forced to suppress the inflow speed.

Now, he was striving to enhance the devouring power, trying to increase this speed.

Because the flow speed of these white substances has become the biggest bottleneck restricting his absorption and devouring.

A long time ago, his devouring strengthening had stayed at the position of 250,000 points per second, and sometimes the speed drastically fell due to the different density of the white substance.

This is the critical reason why he’s devoured so long, yet only has so many attributes now.

Time had completely lost its meaning for him.

More than ten billion attribute points had extended Lin Xin’s life to a terrifying extent.

But he knew it wasn’t enough.

"When the Taoist Ancestor reveals the true body, its strength far exceeds the incarnation state. So, the previous probing between Fang Yu and Jiu Se should have only been an incarnation-level test."

Lin Xin reminisced about the terrifying battle between Song Ri Valley Master and Yuzi. He sighed in his heart as well.

"My previous estimation was indeed correct.

The weakest attribute bottom line for a Taoist Ancestor should be around an average of one trillion attributes.

The numbers are too large, and I need to use a more convenient method for holistic data calculation."

He pondered for a moment.

"A Taoist Ancestor as an Integration embodiment represents an absolute powerful tier. And one trillion should only be its weakest baseline, so I can define one trillion as one Dao."

With a thought,

the four attributes in the attribute bar quickly transformed.

’Lin Sherie—Attack 0.4d, Defense 0.3d, Evasion 0.4d, Constitution 0.2d, Free Attributes 0.6d.’

For clearer calculations, he directly used the letter d to replace the unit of Dao.

"One Dao equals one trillion, getting closer, getting closer.... With this perspective, Song Ri Valley Master is not just an ordinary Taoist Ancestor level.

Galaxy, Star River, Nebula, Constellation, four great power levels, he should be at the Star River level."

The devouring process was extremely monotonous, Lin Xin moved from initial madness to later numbness.

Upon discovering the slowing devouring speed, he began to actively approach the red crystal.

But it seemed the speed of crystal dispersing white substance was limited, his absorption and strengthening speed stagnated at this level.

He could only wait until his devouring power grows stronger, undergoing qualitative change, to draw more white substance.

Time once again flowed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

All the white substance around the area covered by the crystal finally shrank rapidly under Lin Xin’s increasingly fast devouring speed.

Soon, only a small region remained, less than a few miles in radius.

At the center, only one milky white crystal slowly rotated.

Lin Xin gradually moved his long-unused limbs, now swollen to tens of thousands of meters giant body, slightly flying towards the crystal.

Even though the crystal had shrunk countless times, it was still over ten times larger than him.

He slowly approached the crystal.

All ten arms extended out, gently adhering to the crystal’s surface.

Boom!

The crystal violently shook.

The originally massive crystal shattered like glass, breaking into countless fine fragments.

The fragments didn’t fly around but were bound by a giant force, madly rushing into the black hole in Lin Xin’s chest.

At that instant, countless scenes flashed before Lin Xin’s eyes.

Mountains, rivers, sun, moon, planets, an immeasurable stream of information hammered his mind as if someone had hit it with a heavy hammer.

It was like a powerful bomb exploding directly in his brain.

"No!!!!!!"

He suddenly screamed in pain.

But no sound came from his mouth.

Before long, the crystal in front of him was completely devoured, leaving him alone, suspended in the abyssal void.
