Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 588 - 563: All or Nothing

Wang Xu focused on using Constant Force for his cultivation of "The Outline," while on the other hand, You Ji was frantically devouring the core of the Core of Chaos.

The two of them remained calmly inside the Core of Chaos, contrary to the people outside who couldn't stay calm at all.

"Damn it! What's going on?!"

"Why did the Core of Chaos suddenly erupt, flinging all of us away!"

"Luckily, the clan leaders and the Palace Master were here, otherwise all of our lives would have been in peril!"

"Is that guy called Ancient Luo Saint Venerable alright? Just as he succeeded, the Core of Chaos suddenly went berserk. Could this phenomenon be caused by him?"

"That Metal Ancestor Stele is indeed strange, but just an Ancestor Realm being isn't enough to cause turbulence in the Core of Chaos. Maybe that guy has already turned to ashes in the chaos!"

"Unlucky fellow, better seek his own fortune."

"…"

The crowd, suddenly appearing in a strange place, was chattering away about what had just happened.

Just as the Metal Ancestor Stele had descended, the Core of Chaos suddenly went berserk, its illusory flames turning solid, lifting the entire Martial God Pavilion into the air.

Fortunately, six Great Emperor Realm figures stood guard, ensuring that these Saint Venerable Ancestor geniuses were unharmed, transported by the Emperors to a distant place far from the Wufu Divine Palace.

However, even such a bizarre scene left all the Great Emperors puzzled and baffled.

"Shu Zi, what's going on?" Emperor Ni Luan asked with a frown.

The Martial God Pavilion, guarding the Core of Chaos, had turned into an abyss, forming a bottomless giant pit with a circumference of tens of thousands of miles due to the sudden upheaval.

And inside the giant pit, a "fireball" with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters was running amok.

The flames on the fireball transformed into massive scarlet tentacles, thrashing, striking, and destroying everything within its vicinity!

"I don't know what's going on either." Emperor Shu Zi shook his head.

It was too bizarre.

They had been guarding the Core of Chaos for at least several billion law eras, and never had they witnessed such strange changes in the Core of Chaos.

Long before the Ancestral Transformation, they had conducted countless tests to ensure that it would not harm the Core of Chaos before proceeding.

Unexpectedly, a problem still arose.

"The way the Core of Chaos looks, it seems like…" Emperor Shan Qian's gaze sharpened, "…it's struggling."

"Struggling?" The other five emperors were puzzled.

Emperor Shan Qian, being the Spirit of Stone, had a unique perception of everything born from chaos nurturing.

In some respects, the Core of Chaos is akin to its creator, the two are considered "kindred," naturally more understood than ordinary cultivators.

"Yes, the Core of Chaos is in great pain, a pain unbearable and powerless to resist, forcing it to struggle in anger." Emperor Shan Qian said solemnly.

"Pain?!"

The Emperors were even more confused.

Why was the Core of Chaos in pain? What was causing it pain?

Nobody knew the reason behind it.

Only Emperor Shu Zi, upon hearing this, showed a dramatic change in expression, as if realizing something terrifying.

"No… impossible… how could it be…" Emperor Shu Zi's face was filled with terror.

"Shu Zi, why do you look so troubled?" Emperor Ni Luan noticed Emperor Shu Zi's change and immediately asked.

"Quick! You must stop this immediately! Stop the Core of Chaos!" Emperor Shu Zi shouted in panic.

"Shu Zi, what's wrong with you?"

"Do you know why the Core of Chaos is in pain?"

"Shu Zi, quickly explain!"

Seeing this, the Emperors felt a pang in their hearts and quickly asked.

"This… this is devouring!"

Emperor Shu Zi's voice trembled, his expression becoming extremely grim, "I once witnessed a cosmic war during my travels."

"A powerful chaotic cosmos was nearing its end. To extend its lifespan, it chose to attack a weaker chaotic cosmos… and they eventually succeeded."

"And their method of plundering the Core of Chaos was through devouring!"

"Using the Chaos Devouring Fire, nurtured from chaos, to infiltrate the Core of Chaos, devour its core, and return to their home cosmos to merge it with their own Core of Chaos, completing the entire life-extension process!"

"At that time, the core of the weaker chaotic cosmos was in the same kind of pain as it is now!"

This is the method for a chaotic cosmos to extend its life.

The Core of Chaos cannot be moved.

When a chaotic war concludes, the two chaotic cosmoses cannot be forcibly combined, as even Great Emperor Realm figures cannot accomplish such a feat. The only way is to use the Chaos Devouring Fire to devour the losing side's Core of Chaos, seizing their entire lifespan.

If Kedan were to win this chaotic war, they would adopt the same method.

"Shu Zi… you haven't seen it wrong… are you saying… our Kedan's Core of Chaos is currently being devoured?!" The voices of the Great Emperors also began to tremble.

They, being in the Great Emperor Realm, knew all too well what fate awaited if the Core of Chaos was devoured.

If the Core of Chaos were destroyed, all living beings in Kedan, from the lowest mortals to the greatest of the Great Emperor Realm, would not escape the fate of death!

"How could this be..." Emperor Jinluan spoke with a tremor in his voice, "There has never been any trace of Great Emperor Realm individuals descending at Kedan. It's impossible for other Chaotic Cosmoses to exploit this opportunity. What on earth is going on?"

The stronger the cosmic invaders, the more they would attract the attention of the Great Emperor Realm individuals.

This is why the Great Emperors of Fengye sent Celestial God Realm cultivators like Wang Xu rather than those of the Saint Venerable Realm or Ancestor Realm to locate the Core of Chaos.

The arrival of Celestial God Realm cultivators from another cosmos would not warrant the Core of Chaos's attention, nor would it alert the Great Emperor Realm individuals.

Yet now, the Core of Chaos had unknowingly been infiltrated by the Chaos Devouring Fire, a situation that left the present Great Emperor Realm individuals puzzled and clueless.

"Stop it! We must stop it!" Emperor Ni Luan sobered up, realizing this was not the time to seek reasons. They must expel the Chaos Devouring Fire from the Core of Chaos before it is completely devoured!

The six Great Emperor Realm individuals immediately rushed toward the rampaging Core of Chaos.

They must remove the Chaos Devouring Fire within the Core of Chaos!

Otherwise...they would face death!

Bang! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

However, the ferocity of the Core of Chaos exceeded their expectations.

Emperor Zhanlong, who was leading the charge, had just approached the Core of Chaos, but before he could deploy any techniques, a fiery red tentacle lashed fiercely at him. What seemed like ordinary energy erupted with an incredibly terrifying power upon him!

"Zhanlong!"

"Zhanlong!"

The other Great Emperors wanted to rescue him, but it was too late.

Emperor Zhanlong's robust body instantaneously collapsed under the force of the Core of Chaos's tentacle.

"Damn it!" The remaining Great Emperors' faces turned grim as they quickly retreated.

"The avatars' power is too feeble, even someone like Zhanlong couldn't withstand a blow from the Core of Chaos." Emperor Shan Qian said solemnly.

All those stationed here were merely avatars, capable of exerting less than one-tenth of their main body's power.

When the Core of Chaos went berserk, even if their main bodies were present, they might only barely resist; relying on mere avatars, they were utterly powerless.

Just then—

"Shu Zi, watch out!"

The Core of Chaos had gone fully berserk, consumed by the pain of being devoured, with immense fiery red tentacles lashing toward Emperor Shu Zi.

Too fast.

The Core of Chaos's attack was entirely comparable to that of Emperor Giant Tomb, making it effortless to deal with an avatar with only a tenth of an Emperor's power.

Puff!

Emperor Shu Zi's body burst apart.

"Quick, retreat! The Core of Chaos has started attacking us!"

With Emperor Shu Zi's avatar shattered, several fiery red tentacles again targeted the remaining Great Emperor Realm individuals.

Puff puff puff...

In the blink of an eye, the avatars of several Great Emperor Realm individuals were all shattered, none able to withstand a blow from the Core of Chaos.

With their deaths, the Core of Chaos then turned its sights on those disciples of Wufu Divine Palace who had not escaped in time.

The entire Wufu Divine Palace was utterly obliterated under the frenzied assault of the Core of Chaos.

...

Meanwhile, in the Fengye Chaos Cosmos, the six Kedan Emperors glanced at each other, each seeing deep fear in the other's eyes.

It's over.

With the avatars dead, no one could stop the Core of Chaos.

The three Emperors dispatched to find Wang Xu had long since gathered in the Fengye Chaos Cosmos tens of thousands of years ago, preparing for Fengye's "final conquest."

Unexpectedly, such an upheaval occurred at a critical moment.

In the vast Central Control Room, all six Kedan Emperors remained silent, with the quiet so intense that a pin drop on the ground could be heard clearly.

"We have no retreat now."

After a long silence, Emperor Ni Luan broke the quiet, "Launch an all-out attack on the Fengye Chaos Cosmos, eliminate the two great threats of Jiufeng and the Golden Crow. Only by seizing the Core of Chaos in Fengye do we have a hope of survival!"

Even if they rushed back now, they couldn't return to Kedan in a short time.

The only retreat left was to attack Fengye.

Only by capturing the Core of Chaos in Fengye could they preserve their own lives!

The other Kedan Emperors, upon hearing, nodded seriously.

"Emperor Feng Zhen!"

Emperor Ni Luan took out a treasure for contacting Emperor Zhitu and soon, a shadow image appeared with Emperor Feng Zhen's likeness emerging.

"Greetings, Lords of Kedan." Emperor Feng Zhen smiled slightly.

"Our joint war against Fengye has been ongoing for nearly a million years; it is time to end it," said Emperor Ni Luan.

"Emperor Ni Luan, are you suggesting advancing the final conquest?" Emperor Feng Zhen furrowed his brow, "Do you understand that it will take about thirty thousand years for the next complete energy accumulation of the Three Thousand Doomsdays? That would be the best timing for the final conquest, attacking now means too much haste and we'd incur significant losses."

"Emperor Feng Zhen, let's not cloak words; we have long understood that the Three Thousand Doomsdays is no longer the sole factor threatening this Chaos War. You just want more time to amass more treasures." Emperor Ni Luan spoke gravely, "With tens of thousands of years of plunder, your Zhitu should be satisfied. It's time to fulfill the promise of our alliance and completely conquer the Fengye Chaos Cosmos!" (To be continued.
