The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 511 - 401: Star Spirit Key, Undercurrents Stirring! (Part 2)
Who would have thought this guy could come running back again.
"Just wait until I break through to a level where I’m faster than you.
By then, you’ll be in big trouble...."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, watching as the space around him, after the portal was selected, began to show signs of collapse.
The red portal in front of him also started flickering, as if urging him to hurry and enter.
He clenched his teeth, weighed his options, and had no choice but to bracedly step into the entrance of the red portal.
Just hoping this time... nothing goes wrong.
.....
The cold and silent Starry Sky.
On an ancient, desolate planet, a massive spacecraft shaped like a prismatic crystal pillar sat on the planet’s surface.
Floating around this column-like spacecraft were countless small, saucer-shaped crafts.
Each of these crafts had one or two young men and women standing on them, all wearing identical white robes.
These young men and women each wore ornately designed jade headpieces with hollow patterns on their heads, their features beautiful and their demeanor extraordinary.
And in the direction facing these people and spacecraft floated a transparent crystalline cylinder, taller than a person.
The cylinder emitted a dazzling, brilliant light, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura, and it was continuously rotating.
Suddenly, a dark blue light spot drifted out from the resplendent cylinder.
The ornately dressed young men and women surrounding the crystal cylinder immediately focused their attention on the light spot, eagerness evident on their faces.
Eventually, the dark blue light spot was claimed by a youth closest to the crystal cylinder.
After grabbing the dark blue light spot, he immediately crushed it, causing a vortex-shaped blue entrance to swiftly appear in front of him.
A smile played at the youth’s lips, and with confidence and composure, he stepped inside. The blue vortex promptly vanished.
As the youth disappeared into the vortex, new blue light spots continued to emanate from the crystal cylinder.
These light spots were quickly divided among the young men and women surrounding the crystal cylinder, each summoning a vortex entrance and disappearing one by one.
No one knew how much time had passed; more than half of the well-dressed youths were gone, and after producing a large number of light spots, the crystal cylinder fell silent.
The young people who hadn’t managed to reach a light spot cast somewhat resentful glances toward a stern-looking white-haired middle-aged man at the forefront of the crowd.
The white-haired middle-aged man, with a short beard on his chin, had his hands behind his back and cast a casual glance at someone beside him.
Without hesitation, this person reported: "There were a total of 632 natives from the Ancestor Star participating in this trial, 213 have passed five floors of the Star Spirit Tower, and currently, there have been 212 Star Spirit Keys generated...."
The white-haired middle-aged man frowned slightly and said: "Why is there still someone who hasn’t come out?"
"It may be their first time taking the trial and not knowing the rules, perhaps they recklessly entered the sixth floor after the fifth..."
"It’s something that’s emphasized repeatedly before every trial, yet now and then, such fools still appear....
Forget it."
The white-haired middle-aged man spoke coldly: "Let’s lose one if we must.
Remember to detain that disobedient fellow after the trial ends.
The rewards of the Star Spirit Tower must be handed over by him.
Such things are not meant for these underdeveloped lesser beings to possess...."
"Understood."
The reporter nodded and then reached out, making a mark on a name, "Lu Yuan," on the list displayed on a light screen before him.
The conversation between the two white-haired men was overheard by the surrounding waiting young men and women.
The Bai Family offspring who didn’t gain the entry qualification to the Star Spirit Tower couldn’t help but secretly curse the Ancestor Star native who had forcibly taken one of their trial slots.
Similar situations often occurred during past trials too.
These natives from the Ancestor Star, who participated in the trials, were considered "Strong" on their respective planets.
Accustomed to being exalted and praised, they were proud and unruly.
Unaware, they were mere frogs in a well; participating in a trial would bring them back to reality.
Pity for that opportunity into the Star Spirit Tower.
If one of them could enter instead, the level they would reach, and the rewards from the Star Spirit Tower they could receive, would surely be much higher...
....
While these Bai Family members were undertaking the "Star Spirit Trial" ceremony on this barren planet, at another location in the Starry Sky, a handsome young man and an old man with glasses, seated on a moon-white platform, looked up slightly, gazing at the massive light vortex before them.
They saw small ripples forming on the light vortex in front of them.
Each ripple signified another Ancestor Star native emerging from the Star Spirit Tower trial and entering the "Ancestor Realm Secret Realm".
"I wonder how many resources they’ll bring out of the Ancestor Realm this time..."
The handsome young man sighed softly: "I heard that the Supreme Elder in the family is just waiting for these resources to make the fourth attempt to gain the position of Great Star Lord.
If successful, then our Bai Family will fare much better in the Mo Yun Star System..."
"But this is just a drop in the bucket... relying on these kids who aren’t even of a high Star Spirit level to gather resources?
It’s known that a large number of low-grade resource planets have already been sold off in the family.
If the Supreme Elder still fails in attempting to become the Great Star Lord this time, I reckon... there’ll be no hope thereafter...."
The old man with glasses couldn’t help but lament: "Those big families have it easy, occupying the best Ancestor Realm entrances, with more than one Great Star Lord to oversee them.
With the power of a Great Star Lord, they can directly tear open a few cracks at the entrance of the Ancestor Realm to escort their juniors in.
They can enter whenever they wish and loot however they please....
Unlike us, who must select suitable life Ancestor Stars to cultivate, waiting for those native lives to grow up before sending them in to explore.
It’s like ant migration, incredibly cumbersome and inefficient."
The handsome young man gave the old man a glance and said indifferently: "You win some, you lose some; without this, we wouldn’t have discovered the Immortal Bloodline...."
"That’s true."
The old man with glasses nodded in agreement, taking a sip of his tea.
The two of them continued to chat idly about this and that, while keeping an eye on the rippling light vortex, passing the long and dull time. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
.....
Inside the Ancestor Realm Secret Realm.
"Swish!"
A figure suddenly appeared on the ancient, barren ground.
The purple-haired man squinted as he surveyed the world filled with an atmosphere of ancient desolation, then slightly stooped to place his hand gently on the ground beneath him.
A thick black liquid flowed from around his large bronzed hand, soaking into the ground and seeping outward.
Moments later.
"Boom!"
A gray-white sky suddenly flashed with a cyan bolt of lightning, and the ground quivered slightly.
The purple-haired man groaned, quickly retracting his hand as he stood up with a pale face.
"A Star Domain’s Ancestral Land is indeed terrifying; in my current state, I can’t devour even a wisp of its aura...."
"Whew—"
The purple-haired man exhaled deeply, soon regaining an air of tranquility.
He surveyed his surroundings, his dark purple eyes turning black, then swiftly back to deep purple.
He then chose a direction, and surrounded by arcs of purple lightning, he transformed into a streak of purple lightning and quickly vanished beyond the horizon.
At the same time.
Elsewhere in the Ancestral Land Secret Realm.
In a secluded mountain valley, a man clad in Distant Star Federation attire surreptitiously observed his surroundings before quickly touching his wrist to retrieve a silver-white metallic sphere riddled with round holes, akin to a beehive, from his space storage bracelet.
He pressed a button on the metal sphere and then placed it on the ground in front of him, retreating a few steps swiftly.
The silver-white metal sphere on the ground quickly floated up.
From its surface round holes, it emitted beams of silver light that quickly combined in the void into an intricate pattern resembling vines.
The silvery vine pattern flickered wildly.
The surrounding void seemed to boil as it surged and rolled.
Soon, the void split open, and two figures appeared one after the other.
Upon seeing these two people appear, the man’s face who initiated the silver sphere revealed an expression of excitement and joy. He eagerly stepped forward, about to say something.
