Chapter 571: Chapter 540: The First Battle Against Exotic Spirit_1

Outer Domain Galaxy.

In the temple of the Moon Goddess, the Goddess of Cold Crystal sat restlessly, her oval cheeks emitting a lustrous divine glow.

Suddenly, the Rules of Extreme Cold refined within her chest, instantly forming an illusory altar.

The altar floated mysteriously within the divine temple, fiercely rippling out spatial fluctuations, revealing slender, shining cracks around it.

The expression of the Goddess of Cold Crystal was stern as she lightly tapped the illusory altar with her slender, scallion-like fingers.

In secret, she employed her divine skills to once again reach out to the star that contained her divine power, residing within Pang Jian’s body.

After a moment, the altar remained still, and the cracked voids were about to close.

The Goddess of Cold Crystal gritted her teeth, and a droplet of silvery divine blood flew from her fingertip, falling into the virtual altar. It immediately surged and burned, making the Moon Temple instantly grow bone-chillingly cold.

"For the sake of a human boy, is it worth burning a drop of divine blood?"

The high and mighty Moon Goddess, with a face of utmost beauty, was filled with cool detachment, the chill emanating from her body only slightly weaker than that of the Goddess of Cold Crystal.

Having descended into the body of a girl from the Star Moon Sect with her divine consciousness and having a tangled history with Pang Jian, she loathed even the memory of it.

She had thought the Goddess of Cold Crystal felt the same.

It was only after the Goddess of Cold Crystal came to her Moon Temple and opened up her heart that she realized she had been mistaken.

The Goddess of Cold Crystal had been inquiring about Pang Jian’s background, asking her to mobilize the believers of the Star Moon Sect to search for the members of the Ice Tribe, to convey her forgiveness to the Ice Tribe and allow them to commence the rituals at their altar in Purgatory.

By doing so, she planned to descend into the Purgatory World through the Ice Tribe.

Ying Yue, the Goddess of the Moon, would have never imagined that the Goddess of Cold Crystal, always aloof from other gods and known for her reclusive nature, would suddenly act so madly.

Burning a drop of divine blood to strengthen and sense the connection with an object was even more unbelievable to Ying Yue.

For beings like them, the condensation of each drop of divine blood was not an easy feat.

Without special altars and items for support, relying solely on the burning of a drop of divine blood, the scenes the Goddess of Cold Crystal could detect would inevitably be blurred and couldn’t last long.

After the divine blood was exhausted, she would be unable to see anything.

Wasting a drop of divine blood just to check up on Pang Jian’s condition was obviously an idiotic move.

Yet the Goddess of Cold Crystal was doing just that.

"There are two bodies, both of which contain divine power corresponding to my Extreme Cold Divine Power! One body is in Purgatory, sitting quietly on a Fragment Land. The other body..."

"Six floating continents above, and a grey-yellow star, he is heading towards that star."

"There are Exotic Spirits! On that star, there must be Exotic Spirits stationed!"

"And that star does not belong to that realm. It is the one previously pulled away, sinking into the Mysterious Fog! Stirring the star, slowly refining and consuming it, this is a Star Devourer!"

The Goddess of Cold Crystal cried out in alarm.

"Exotic Spirits? Star Devourer!" Ying Yue was also taken aback.

Her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes dazzling with moonlight, she exclaimed, "A Star Devourer possesses wondrous treasures and can even be crafted into extraordinary divine artifacts. If you and I were to go there, and join hands, we could take down this Star Devourer."

"Unfortunately..."

The thought of the Star Devourer being in the "Prison" realm, a completely unfamiliar domain, made her discard the thought.

"Many treasures are hidden in the ’Prison’ realms, yet we gods just can’t set foot there." The Goddess of Cold Crystal grew excited, "Pang Jian can actually enter! If he can leave Purgatory and enter another ’Prison’ realm, he will have the ability to hunt for treasures in various worlds! If, if..."

At this, the Goddess of Cold Crystal stood up abruptly.

"What do you intend to do? Collaborate with a human from Purgatory to hunt for treasures in the lower realms?" Ying Yue’s face changed, sternly she said, "Do you understand the consequences? If you really collude with humans in secret, neither the Demon Gods nor the other spirits will let you off the hook."

The Goddess of Cold Crystal hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ying Yue, you wouldn’t betray me, right?"

"Why are you telling me all this? If you say nothing, I know nothing, and if you do it secretly on your own, it wouldn’t involve me, would it?" Ying Yue replied, her voice bitter.

If the Goddess of Cold Crystal resolved to go ahead with her plan, Ying Yue couldn’t escape being implicated, and should it be exposed, it would be difficult for her to stay out of it.

"I’m telling you because, naturally, I want to invite you to join. As for treasures, of course, I would share them with you." The Goddess of Cold Crystal persuaded gently, "Ying Yue, you want to ascend to High God as well, don’t you? Without astonishing fortune and the irrigation of unexpected wealth, we may never make further progress."

"Upon that Star Devourer, I know there are items that suit you perfectly, and you actually need them more than I do."

"Your ascension follows the Divine Tao of the Moon, but stars and moons have always been interlinked. Inside the Star Devourer’s body, there are curious items related to the Star Core. If you refine them into your body, you could create an additional auxiliary path of the stars."

The Goddess of Cold Crystal kept on persuading.

Ying Yue was somewhat tempted but did not give in, instead saying, "He can enter, yet we have no way to step into the ’Prison’ realms. How can we cooperate with him to hunt down the Star Devourer?"

The Goddess of Cold Crystal pulled a wry smile, "I have a way."

...

Dark Prison.

Beneath the heavens, a grey-yellow star hung silently in suspension.

It was also spherical, but significantly smaller than the stars Pang Jian had seen outside in the sky.

Even compared to the six intact lands below, it was a bit smaller.
