Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 333 - 333 322 Star Tomb

333: 322 Star Tomb 333: 322 Star Tomb Under the threat of death, these eight Great Luo Golden Immortals of different backgrounds chose to join forces.

However, it was useless!

In Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, the Emperor Xi’s inheritance was rapidly flipping through, with various records about the Star Array appearing in his heart, which he instantly understood and proficiently controlled.

The power of a formation not only lies in its own strength but also depends on whether the master of the formation can skillfully use it.

A child with a knife would find it difficult to kill an adult.

If one cannot proficiently control a formation, no matter how powerful the formation is, one cannot exert its power to the limit.

The Heavenly Star Banner was the treasure of the demon clan, and its mysteries were infinite.

Even the disciples of the saints dared not claim that they could proficiently control this formation.

Yet, Jiang Chen could.

Because he had the inheritances of Emperor Xi!

The mysteries of the Heavenly Star Banner were infinite, but this formation was created by Emperor Xi and Emperor Di Jun.

As the founder of this formation, Emperor Xi’s understanding of it was evident.

Thanks to the inheritance of Emperor Xi, Jiang Chen had a certain understanding of how to manipulate the Heavenly Star Banner.

Although he couldn’t fully exhibit the power of this formation for the time being, it was more than enough against several Great Luo Golden Immortals.

“Command!”

According to the method recorded in the inheritance of Emperor Xi, Jiang Chen issued a command to the Star Array.

Suddenly, the formation changed, the infinite starlight gathered into beams of divine light, sweeping towards the cultivators in the field.

Each beam of divine light was equivalent to a full blow from a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal level expert.

Any Taiyi Golden Immortal hit would be directly shattered, their souls leaving their bodies.

Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal was hit, they wouldn’t be injured, but their mana would be severely shaken.

In a short time, there may not be any problems, but over a long period under the attack of hundreds, even thousands of divine lights, they would also get injured and die.

“Fellow Daoists, don’t hesitate, take action.

If you don’t act now, you’ll lose your chance.”

The remaining demons of the demon clan let out a loud shout, the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals simultaneously struck out their strongest blow, jointly blasting towards the void in an attempt to break the formation and open a passage for escape.

The combined full-strength blow of the eight current Great Luo Immortals had a tremendous power.

It could easily shatter the void, and even a Great Luo Golden Immortal from Ancient Times would be seriously injured.

However, such a powerful attack hit the void, but not even a splash of water was stirred up.

It dissipated silently and disappeared in the blink of an eye, swallowed by the starry sky.

“How is this possible?”

Staring blankly at the front, the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals were stunned, seeming not to believe the scene before them.

They had anticipated that the power of this formation would be great, but being this powerful was somewhat beyond their expectation.

At this moment, a mocking laugh came from the starry sky.

Jiang Chen said, “Haha, pretty surprised, eh?

This is the key component of the Heavenly Star Banner.

If it could be broken this easily, how could the ancient demon clan dominate the Prehistoric World with this formation?”

“As remnants of the demon clan, you don’t even understand your own tribe’s treasure formation.

I really doubt your identity.

Are you really from the ancient demon clan?”

Baffled by Jiang Chen’s identity, the remaining demon couldn’t speak out of anger.

“You…

”

The demon clan had already fallen countless years ago.

It’s normal for their descendants not to know the power of the Heavenly Star Banner.

After all, without seeing it with their own eyes, how could they sense its earth-shattering power?

…

Looking at the Taiyi Golden Immortals below that were almost all dead, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “Enough, boring.

The warm-up is over.

It’s time for you to hit the road.”

This statement of Jiang Chen was made lightly, but it sounded like a thunderclap in the ears of the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, shaking their minds.

What?

The power of this formation is already this strong, and it’s just a warm-up, not serious yet?

How is this possible?

If this is true, then how strong is the real power of this formation?

The doubts of the eight people didn’t last long because soon, Jiang Chen displayed the real power of the Star Array before their eyes.

“Command!”

Another order was given, and the formation changed again.

However, the most significant change was not in the formation itself, but the twenty-eight stars hanging high in the sky.

Rumble!

The mysterious, vast, and desolate boundless starry sky, which countless people yearn for, was no longer peaceful.

Beams of dazzling starlight lit up in the starry sky, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

This was a shattered starry sky, filled with the wreckage of stars.

Among these broken star remnants, there were twenty-eight particularly large, ragged-looking stars, shimmering slightly.

Their stellar glow was precisely what illuminated the dim void of this place.

These were the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the mysterious and powerful ancient stars, and the original main stars of the Prehistoric World.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations during their peak were certainly not in such a state, but after the great war between witches and demons, these constellations had turned into their current appearance.

That battle was truly too brutal.

Of the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five main stars of the Cycle, apart from Taiyin, Sun, Ziweinanji, Gouchen, and the other five Supreme Stars, the remaining Stars of the Cycle, numbering three hundred and sixty, all shattered beyond recognition, not a single main star was spared.

This place was the Star Tomb, the burial ground of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

After being shattered, they drifted to this place to rest in eternal sleep.

But now, as the star array of the Twenty-Eight Constellations began to operate, they were once again awakened, their lingering starlight descending and blessing the divine banner of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

The reason why the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Star Banner is said to be unique, and that even the Saints could not replicate it, lies in this.

The Heavenly Star Banner was made from the Original Source of the main Cycle Stars.

Because of this, the Heavenly Star Banner has the ability to communicate with the Cycle’s main stars.

As they share the same root and source, the Heavenly Star Banner can easily call forth the power of these main Cycle Stars.

Outsiders who attempt to replicate the Heavenly Star Banner, even if their creation methods are identical to those of the Demon Clan, cannot find the Original Source of the Cycle Stars, and therefore cannot nourish their creations with the Cycle Stars.

Therefore, their replicated Heavenly Star Banners will never have the ability to command the main Cycle Stars.

If they cannot command the main Cycle Stars, how could they be called Heavenly Star Banners?

Hence, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Star Banner is unique and irreplicable.

With the Cycle Stars being shattered, where could one find the Star’s Original Source to craft a Heavenly Star Banner?

The current circulating Star Laws, such as the Taoist Seven-Star Array, Nine-Brilliance Array, etc., though their powers are indeed extraordinary, they are still inadequate for significant usage and fail to match the supreme Divine Power of the Ancient Era.

The root of this issue is the shattering of the Cycle Stars.

After the main Cycle Stars shattered, they all sank into the Star Tomb to sleep eternally.

Aside from the Heavenly Star Banner and the Innate Star Gods, few people can awaken the stars.

The circulating Star Arrays of the present cannot truly call forth the power of the Cycle Stars, hence isn’t their power bound to weaken to an extreme?

It wasn’t until later when the Investiture of the Gods emerged, Heaven Court accorded the titles of True Gods to Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Cycle Gods, thereby replacing the Cycle Stars, that the Star Arrays once gain regained their brilliance.

Which is to say, the power that the current Star Arrays borrow is not that of the Cycle Stars, but of the True Gods of Heaven and Earth.

But how can the True Gods of Heaven and Earth compare to the Cycle Stars?

Once the entity being relied upon changes, of course the power of the Star Arrays would weaken and not be as powerful as they were during the Ancient Era.

This is the way of Heaven and Earth, something that cannot be resisted by human effort.

…

…

Although the Cycle Stars are shattered, they are still the Cycle Stars, formed from the essence and soul of the Divine Orifice of Pangu, and still possess infinite Divine Power.

Under the summoning of the divine banner of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Twenty-Eight Constellations gradually revived, strands of starlight falling from their bodies, blessing the divine banner of the constellations, making the Twenty-Eight Star Shadows within the array increasingly brilliant.

At a certain moment, the light emitting from the Star Shadows suddenly reached its limit, and exploded entirely.

Endless starlight burst forth, brilliant to the extreme, lighting up Heaven and Earth in a white blaze.

When the light subsided, the Star Shadows had disappeared without a trace.

In their place stood twenty-eight different Innate Star Gods.

Jiaomu Jiao, Kang Jinlong, Di Tuhao, Wei Yueyan, Shi Huozhu, Bi Shuiyu; Bi Yuewu, Zi Huohou, Shen Shuiyuan; Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake, Zhen Shui Worm…

These Innate Star Gods are not the True Gods sealed by the Heaven Court, nor are they the demonic gods of the Ancient Demon Clan, but rather the manifestations of the Twenty-Eight Constellations within Heaven and Earth, possessing the form of the Innate Tao, as the embodiment of the Tao.

The one who had set up this formation was too weak, merely a Golden Immortal.

Even using numbers to make up for it, it was still impossible to push the power of the Great Array of the Twenty-Eight Constellations to its limit.

Therefore, after these Twenty-Eight Innate Star Gods appeared, their collective strength was only at the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, not reaching the expected realm of Daoist Venerable.

Nevertheless, it was enough.

The opponents were merely eight Great Luo Golden Immortals.

On their side, they had twenty-eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, a full twenty more.

This was an overwhelming advantage.

“Kill!”

As soon as the Innate Star Gods appeared, they joined forces to kill those eight Great Luo Golden Immortals.

At this point, the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, looking at the suddenly appeared Twenty-Eight Innate Star Gods, were already stunned.

“Twenty-eight Great Luo Golden Immortals…”

“How is this possible?”

“How are we supposed to fight this?”

Even if they couldn’t fight, they had to, or else they were as good as dead.

Although terrified, the eight individuals were after all Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Their training in inner cultivation was excellent and they quickly calmed down, making the best possible response.

That was to self-detonate their Magic Treasures!

As Great Luo Golden Immortals, they each held one, or even several, Magic Treasures.

At this moment, self-detonating their Magic Treasures was their most powerful means of fighting the enemy.

Beyond this, there were no stronger methods other than to self-detonate themselves.

But this was a method of mutual destruction, and they absolutely would not use it unless it was their final moment.
