Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 590 - 565: How to Explain?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The chaotic core's raging red tentacles caused the surrounding void to collapse, creating a vacuum of nothingness.

Countless cultivators, standing billions of miles away, watched this scene in terror.

"What terrifying power... What on earth is that?"

"I've never seen such a creature before. Even from this distance, the aura it emits makes my heart tremble."

"Thankfully, this colossal thing doesn't move; otherwise, its terrifying power would be too much for us, even if we joined forces!"

"..."

Among the observers, only a few were of the Ancestor Realm, while the majority were Saint Venerable Realm. Facing the core of chaos capable of killing a Great Emperor, it's natural for them to feel fear.

After just a moment.

The horrible power gradually diminished, and the giant red tentacles slowly lost strength, turning back into illusory flames, merging back into the chaotic core.

The violence ceased, and the world suddenly fell into a profound stillness.

A gentle breeze blew by, and even the sound of the wind was piercingly sharp.

"Is that strange creature dead?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Dead? Impossible. How could such a terrifying being die so easily? It should have exhausted its power and fallen into slumber."

"Whether asleep or dead, it's truly quiet now... Should we approach to take a look?"

"Are you crazy?! Approaching such a terrifying creature, a hundred lives wouldn't suffice for it to kill us!"

"I think he's right; recklessly using its power, that strange creature is likely at a weakened state now. If we join forces, there should be no problem in protecting ourselves!"

"Humph! Go if you want; I'm not going with you to court death!"

"..."

Seeing this situation, everyone was talking amongst themselves, their eyes on the chaotic core full of undisguised greed.

It truly is a terrifying existence.

But precisely because of that, it appears extremely valuable!

To gain any rare treasures, following the exploration path of predecessors is useless as all good treasures have been claimed by them already.

Only such terrifying existences that the world has never seen, or even heard of, hold extraordinarily rare, peerless treasures!

Greed is the most instinctual desire of living beings.

The chaotic core had only been silent for a moment, yet dozens of Saint Venerable Realm had eagerly formed a team to head towards it.

The first to arrive at the treasure land will get more treasures!

"Hmph, for treasures, they're willing to risk their lives; truly courting death!" Cultivators who didn't join the team sneered.

In their view, terrifying means terrifying and should never be provoked lightly.

The strange fiery creature ahead, just a wisp of its dispersed aura, was enough to make their legs go soft, yet they still dared to approach in hopes of obtaining treasures... Isn't this seeking death?

Countless onlookers watched from the back, observing as the team of dozens of Saint Venerable Realm continually approached the giant fiery creature.

For those of Saint Venerable Realm, the distance of billions of miles wasn't long. In just a moment, they stood thousands of miles away from the core of chaos.

They began to be cautiously vigilant with every step.

Greed as it may be, they hadn't forgotten the terror of that fiery creature; no one dared to act recklessly.

The previously sneering cultivators now slightly restrained their expressions, frowning and staring intently at them.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the flames on the surface of the chaotic core moved.

"It's over!" The minds of the dozens of Saint Venerable Realm went blank with fright, their faces turning pale as paper.

Their bodies were all frozen in place, beads of sweat as large as beans forming on their foreheads and sliding down their faces. Their wide-open eyes were filled with terror, not daring to look away; everyone held their breath as if time had stopped.

"The fiery creature is showing signs of movement!"

"They're so close, they're doomed!"

"Are they too scared to move? Why aren't they running!"

"Run? Haven't you seen the fiery creature's attacks? At their speed, can they escape?"

The onlookers discussed fervently.

Once again, enormous red tentacles emerged from the surface of the chaotic core, as if attempting to continue the unfinished act of destruction.

This scene was enough to make the dozens of Saint Venerable Realm almost burst into tears. Now, they regretted their decision deeply, despair apparent in their hearts.

Buzz~~

However, a peculiar sound emanated from within the chaotic core.

The next moment, the chaotic core, with a diameter of ten thousand meters, suddenly contracted, and the giant red tentacles seemed to be forcibly pulled back in. The illusory flames were collapsing toward the center of the chaotic core.

This sudden change left everyone puzzled beyond belief.

But stranger things were yet to come!

The core of chaos was rapidly shrinking, from a diameter of ten thousand meters, to eight thousand meters, to five thousand meters, to three thousand meters, to one thousand meters... in just a few breaths, it shrank to a few hundred meters, a world of difference compared to the original core of chaos.

Just as everyone was speculating about the reason behind all this, a clue was revealed within the core of chaos.

"That... what is that?!"

"Look quickly! Inside the creature of flame, it seems there's a silhouette!"

"It's really true! I saw it, it's a black-robed figure!"

When the core of chaos condensed to a few dozen meters, cultivators watching could see, through the illusory flames, a black-robed figure sitting cross-legged inside.

Buzz~

Soon, the illusory flames of the core of chaos completely transformed into a fireball no bigger than a fist, its color changed.

It was no longer the illusory red flames, but a substantial and dream-like intermingling of red and white flames.

"Delicious! Truly delicious! Wang Xu, I swear, this is the most delectable food I have ever tasted since my birth! Truly extraordinary, the taste lingers endlessly!" Instantly, the red and white flames transformed into the red-robed figure of You Ji, a look of drooling delight on his face.

Wang Xu, whose complete figure was now visible, calmly opened his eyes and slowly stood up.

Crack, crack, crack...

His bones made crisp sounds like exploding beans. Wang Xu exhaled a long breath of impure air, feeling like his body had undergone a rebirth-like transformation!

"You Ji, do you know what you just devoured?" Wang Xu said with a bitter smile.

"I know, the core of chaos, right? It was truly delicious, if I ever encounter another one, I must taste it again, that flavor... it's amazing!" You Ji spoke casually, showing no concern.

Hearing this, Wang Xu's mouth twitched.

To have devoured the most vital core of the chaotic cosmos and to describe it merely as delicious?

And wanting to devour another if encountered again? What a dream you're having!

"You devoured the core of chaos but nearly cost us our lives in the process."

Wang Xu said grumpily, "Do you even know how vast the power within that core of chaos was? If it weren't for my possession of the Chong Feng Secret Collection, comparable to the Great Emperor Realm, I would have been blown to bits by this power in an instant!"

Just recalling the near-miss, Wang Xu couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Death was one thing, but to die from absorbing too much power and exploding was something else entirely.

"Haha! No need to worry, I was naturally aware of that!" You Ji laughed heartily.

Wang Xu smiled wryly and shook his head.

Though this venture was tremendously perilous, nearly costing him his life, the gains from it were exceedingly immense.

At this moment, whether it was the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection in Wang Xu's right hand, the Dunhuang Secret Collection in his left foot, or the Chong Feng Secret Collection within his body, all had completely merged with him.

In other words, Wang Xu could now wield three pieces of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection at any time, with the only cost being a bit of Ancestral Qi and power of laws!

Furthermore, due to cultivating "Xiang," Wang Xu's physical body had become even more powerful!

Now, even if he took a direct hit from someone in the Eternal Ancestor Realm, he wouldn't have a single scratch on him.

Only those in the Heaven-Defying Ancestor Realm or the Great Emperor Realm could harm Wang Xu.

But just harm him; killing Wang Xu? That wouldn't be so easy.

"Hmm? Where did all their people go?"

It was then that Wang Xu suddenly realized, noticing that he originally should be beneath the Martial God Pavilion, but there was nothing left but a void filled with ruin, the emptiness collapsed, and space-time storms whistled; the Wufu Divine Palace no longer existed, and this place had become a perilous and fearsome forbidden area.

"Even those Great Emperors of Kedan are gone?" You Ji looked around and happened to see dozens of Saint Venerable Realm cultivators not far away.

"You all, come over here."

You Ji pointed, and the dozens of Saint Venerables trembled, almost collapsing to the ground in weakness.

"Senior."

"Senior."

Summoned by You Ji, how could these dozens of Saint Venerables dare to delay, rushing to You Ji with shaking bodies, each one bowing deeply, trembling all over.

The closer they got to You Ji, the more they sensed the terrifying aura emanating from him that sent their hearts into a frenzy.

Like humans and ants.

They were the ants, without a shred of resistance.

"Do you know where the original people here went?" Wang Xu asked.

"Replying to the senior, we just arrived, never saw anyone else!" The Saint Venerables were scared nearly to tears.

If You Ji induced heart-palpitating terror in them, then Wang Xu was akin to a divine being, a flick of whose fingers could reduce them to ash!

"Never saw anyone? What's going on?" Wang Xu pondered.

But he immediately set the matter aside.

"You Ji, now is not the time to inquire about these things, we must head to Fengye immediately! To report the matter of the core of chaos to the Great Emperors of Fengye!" Wang Xu waved his hand, and the dozens of Saint Venerables were swept away like paper in the wind, transported billions of miles in just a few breaths.

Seeing this, the dozens of Saint Venerables fell to their knees, kowtowing to Wang Xu and You Ji, grateful for sparing their lives.

To the Saint Venerables, offending super strong individuals was an unforgivable crime, but to Wang Xu, he simply didn't have time to bother with this.

"To inform the Great Emperors of Fengye? Have you decided how to explain it?" You Ji glanced at Wang Xu, a playful smile on his face.

Wang Xu was stunned.

Indeed, the core of chaos had been devoured by You Ji, how should he explain this? (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
