Chapter 621: 503 Surprise Attack

As Jiang Chen made his move, there seemed to be no change on the surface of Falling Star Valley. However, in the void, a formidable momentum was forming.

This momentum, collecting endless mountains and rivers, was grand and vast, like a boundless sea. Once it exploded, it would have the power to overturn heaven and earth.

With the final stroke, Jiang Chen felt an intense lightness in his body. He held the power of countless miles of mountains and rivers, responding to his will.

"I’ve done it!"

Perceiving the grand and vast momentum, Jiang Chen was filled with excitement. The momentum was complete, the end for the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon wasn’t far off.

The next step was to stimulate the power of the fragment of the Star of Ages at the bottom of Falling Star Valley, to catch the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon off guard and deliver him a fatal blow.

For Jiang Chen, who possessed the top-tier inheritance of the Demon Clan, awakening the power of the Star of Ages fragment was a piece of cake.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen found a secluded spot, sat down, and concentrated on a visualization of the Star of Ages from the Demon Clan in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Star of Ages Visualization was a depiction of Innate Dao derived from the original source of the Star of Ages. If refined to completion, one could establish a connection with the Star of Ages and gain its blessings.

In the past, Jiang Chen had never practiced the Star of Ages Visualization. Now, wanting to refine it to completion in a short time was difficult for anyone else.

But Jiang Chen was different, he could enter the Chaos Dao Domain to practice. Regardless of how much time passed inside, it would always be a mere moment in the outside world.

In no time, Jiang Chen had refined the Star of Ages Visualization to completion. At that moment, many familiar auras suddenly appeared in his perception.

These auras were incredibly complex in origin. Some were far, some were near, some were from the sky, some were from the ground, and some were even from the water. From the vast void, a few faint auras were vaguely transmitted.

Of these, two auras were particularly prominent, which Jiang Chen could not ignore.

The first one came from the boundless starry sky above, and the second came from right in front of Jiang Chen, not far away.

Without a doubt, these familiar auras that Jiang Chen could perceive were all emitted by fragments of the Star of Ages.

"I didn’t expect that the Star of Ages would be thoroughly shattered, with fragments scattered everywhere. Some of them are even outside the Three Realms."

From the fate of the Star of Ages, it could be seen just how fierce the battle between the sorcerers and demons had been. Even the Star of Ages, one of the ’Five Stars’, was pummeled to ruins and has been unable to recover to this day.

However, the ability to perceive the Star Fragments scattered throughout the Prehistoric World after refining the Star Visualization to the stage of completion was quite beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations.

This was good news. If he wanted to repair the Cycle of Stars in the future, he would need to collect Star Fragments. Having this divine ability would save a lot of trouble.

Letting his thoughts run wild for a moment, Jiang Chen focused his mind again and established a connection with the Star of Ages Fragment at the bottom of the Falling Star Valley through an intangible link.

Immediately, the Demon Clan’s secret technique, the Starfall, was triggered!

...

...

Deep in Falling Star Valley, a Demon Dragon as large as a mountain lazily coiled on an irregular piece of rock, snoozing away.

This rock-like mountain range was the fragment of the Star of Ages. One could see a stream of vitality flowing out of it like a waterfall. It entered the Demon Dragon’s body with each breath he took.

In actuality, the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon wasn’t sleeping, but cultivating. He was trying to refine and incorporate the Star of Ages Fragment into his own flesh and blood to gain infinite vitality.

However, refining a Star Fragment was extremely difficult. After countless years of effort, the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon had barely managed to take the first step and establish a connection with the fragment of the Star of Ages.

But this was enough to excite the Demon Dragon. As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest. Now that he had started, everything else should be easier.

The Nine-Horned Demon Dragon believed that with another million years, he would be able to refine the Star of Ages fragment and reach the Quasi-Saint realm.

It was a beautiful thought, but sadly, he would never get the chance.

At some point, the Star of Ages fragment flickered suddenly, then its body began to shrink at an incredible speed. Soon, it was only the size of tens of thousands of feet, radiating a rich starlight, like a miniature version of a star.

"What?"

The sudden change startled the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon from his meditation. He stared blankly at the Star of Ages fragment, unsure of what had happened.

However, the next moment, shock replaced the bewilderment on his face.

Under the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon’s incredulous gaze, the Star of Ages fragment transformed into a Star Sword and pierced through his forehead, rushing towards the outside of Falling Star Valley.

The unexpected attack and unimaginable strike were beyond the Demon Dragon’s wildest dreams. He had never expected that the Star of Ages fragment, which had been with him for tens of millions of years, would ambush him at a critical moment.

So, when the Star Sword arrived, he forgot to dodge.

Swish...

The Star of Ages fragment penetrated the Demon Dragon’s forehead directly, leaving a huge bloody hole and then departed, leaving the Demon Dragon frozen on the spot.

Of course, being frozen on the spot didn’t mean that the Demon Dragon was dead. An Innate Dao Sovereign wouldn’t fall so easily. He was just finding it hard to accept reality and was momentarily stunned.

But the fact was that he had been heavily wounded. Not only had the attack from the Star of Ages fragment pierced the Dragon’s forehead, but it also pierced his Sea of Consciousness, wounding both his soul and his True Spirit.

Furthermore, the power left by the Star of Ages fragment didn’t disappear, but instead stuck to the True Spirit of the Demon Dragon like a clingy poison, steadily eroding his life force.

Visibly, the Demon Dragon’s aura began to decline.

Luckily, the Nine-Horned Demon Dragon came to his senses quickly and remembered that now was not the time to be perplexed about why the Star of Ages fragment had attacked him. The most important thing was to retrieve the Star of Ages fragment.

If the Star of Ages fragment got away, then he would indeed have suffered a great loss.

Barely rallying his magical strength to suppress his injuries, the Demon Dragon chased after the Star of Ages fragment without looking back. This was critical to his advancement in Quasi-Saint realm, and he absolutely couldn’t let it slip away.

Moreover, the Demon Dragon was curious about who was scheming against him behind his back. Specifically, he was curious about what means the other party used to control the Star of Ages fragment.

He felt that if he knew this method, then his dream of refining the Star of Ages fragment would no longer be a dream.

...

In just a split second, the Star of Ages fragment crossed layers of void and appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Not bothering to study the Star of Ages fragment, Jiang Chen waved his hand to collect it and then, without hesitation, urged the great formation to release all the accumulated heavenly and earthly momentum.

In an instant, the sky changed color, mountains and rivers trembled, and a boundless momentum swept out.

PS: Today was another washed-out day, but I will definitely strive hard tomorrow.
