Chapter 1279
[Immortal Realm Chapter] Star Refining Descends, Transcendental Transmission
The voice was unexpectedly shrill and hoarse. If you listened carefully, you couldn't help but feel a tickle in your heart. It was extremely jarring among the many landslides and tsunamis in the apocalypse. It carried a deep and magical magnetic field, and you couldn't help but fall into it!
That enormous hand covered an area of over ten thousand miles, utterly lawless, suppressing the entire world like an insurmountable mountain.
In his palm, stars flickered and shimmered, outlining countless constellations in the Milky Way, as if a galaxy had descended and crushed eternity!
The members of the Immortal Alliance were pinned to the deck by the oppressive force, struggling to look up and staring at the descending giant hand, which grew larger and larger in their pupils. They had no power to resist whatsoever.
The Xuanwu Spirit Boat was like a leaf falling in the wind, breaking through the dazzling light pollution, only to be blocked by the new natural barrier that was rushing in from outside, floating and sinking in the vast environment of heaven and earth.
This scene seemed to last forever, frozen in the eyes of everyone behind.
The nine Star Martial Emperors trembled all over, and countless void fleets behind them scattered and fled, activating spatial jumps to leave this place. Many more were unable to escape and perished along with the Kongtong Realm. The explosions and flames were like bursts of fireworks.
"The Universe Monitor actually summoned him."
No one understands better than the higher-ups of these luminous universes how mysterious and unpredictable the legendary monitors are. They are regional governors left behind from the higher-level subordinate universe, namely the technological universe. To put it bluntly, the luminous universe is nothing more than their colony!
This important figure has been overseeing the colonized universe for many years, while also secretly investigating the remnants of the immortal path. He once succeeded the previous monitor and fought wits and courage with the only living true immortal in the world, the Old Man of Dongting, for tens of thousands of years.
Finally, through scheming, he killed the True Immortal at the edge of the cosmic black hole, accomplishing what no previous monitor had been able to do, making him a true dark giant!
According to rumors circulating within the upper echelons of the Microcosm, the Old Man of Dongting left behind a contingency plan before his death, which also severely injured this legendary Star Refiner, who is currently recuperating in some corner.
His sudden appearance outside Kongtong Pass, just in time for this final feast, is most likely due to receiving inside information!
With this person making a move, it means that this encirclement and suppression will ultimately have nothing to do with their own territory in the Microcosm. The remnants of the Immortal Path can only obediently become food on the plate, with absolutely no chance of escaping from the Five Finger Mountain.
Moreover, although they appear to be very close, the other party is actually still quite far away. They are using a powerful magnetic field to stabilize the area and prevent them from escaping. The person is still on their way!
Wuzhi Mountain is not a physical object, but a stellar magnetic field formed by the power of the universe, used to seal off the surrounding area!
On the Xuanwu Spirit Boat, Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling looked up and murmured in despair.
"Extraterrestrial demons, Star Refiners, we're doomed this time!"
Everyone was distraught and had given up struggling.
Even the True Immortal Elder of Dongting, who had protected them for dozens of generations, was defeated by the enemy. How could these remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals possibly have the power to resist?
Lin Shan watched this scene quietly, feeling needles pricking his entire body. This was the first time he had faced such a terrifying being attacking him. Although it was only one hand and he couldn't even see the main body, there was absolutely no way that a half-baked person who had just broken through to the Void Realm could turn the tide!
Xing Yiyuan, the Star Sword Immortal, also sensed something was wrong. She jumped out and looked into the void. Her empty star dress was facing her head, and a woman's voice, both laughing and crying, came from above.
"Good heavens, you really are a jinx. You've only reached the Void Realm and you've already encountered a True Immortal. If you don't die, who will?"
Well, I was blind to have been paired with this unlucky woman. She's just unlucky!
His mission failed miserably, and he died midway through his campaign. If word of this were to spread back, he would likely become the only joke of the reincarnation of the Sword Dao Era.
"Shut up, Xing Yiyuan, the Star Sword Immortal. She died in the second year of the Great Calamity of the Ancient Era. Is that what you wrote on her cenotaph?"
As expected, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble. Lin Shan couldn't help but swear and they started cursing and exposing each other's dirty secrets on the spot. "I was just getting annoyed, and you're trying to ruin my life?"
You weakling who died in the second year of the Great Cataclysm, I let you possess me and follow me, and you dare to talk nonsense to me?
"You brat, who do you think you are, talking to me like that!"
Xing Yiyuan's temper flared up. When she first debuted, she used to call herself "this humble servant" and acted like a delicate little bird. Now, she has indeed revealed her true colors and is as fierce as a shrew cursing in the street.
"Young friend Lin, where is the powerful figure behind you? Quickly call out to save us!"
At the crucial moment, Ancestor Yanling still remembered this matter. He crawled over and shook his beard. He had done his best to help Lin Shan break through to the Void Realm, and later he endured the pain of not retreating to cover Lin Shan's successful creation of his domain. He was betting that someone would be there to support him from behind.
Now look what's happened! He's been driven to a dead end, and all he can do is hope that his background is strong enough!
The Spirit Master also turned around, and all the members of the Remnant Immortal Alliance around him were looking at him expectantly, regarding him as their only lifeline.
You're a second-generation immortal here for training, you wouldn't lie to us, right?
"He doesn't have any powerful backers at all. You bunch of idiots are just making things up. If he does, it's probably just some old man who's too busy taking care of himself and would love for him to die soon so he won't cause any more trouble in the Immortal Realm!"
Xing Yiyuan showed no mercy in exposing them, and then muttered a string of naive fools.
"."
Everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths agape, lying helplessly on the spirit boat, the scene a complete mess.
The external pressure was increasing. That hand spanned across the stars, attacking them from countless distant places. It was almost upon them, and the entire Kongtong Realm was in their grasp.
This final spiritual realm of the immortal path is as small as a toy, nothing more than a joke in the hands of a Star Refiner. There is nothing in the entire universe that can make such a being wary.
Especially in a lower realm like the Cosmic of Light, the existence of a true immortal is simply a legend!
"Shut up, all of you!"
Lin Shan had no time to answer them at the moment. He pulled out a tree branch from behind him. This was a self-defense item left to him by the immortal in the mortal world who had been banished to the mortal realm.
It looks ordinary, but when it's carved into a fishing rod, it actually contains immense power!
It was this confidence that gave him the courage to venture into the glimmering universe and the assurance that he would have another chance to break free from his cage in the future—something that no one else knew except himself.
But if we waste it now, how will we escape the twilight universe in the future?
He was in a state of complex emotion and remained silent, deep in thought.
Facing the mastermind behind the scenes from beyond the heavens, surrounded by teammates who have lost their fighting ability, and with the woman, Sword Dao Ancient Era, being nothing more than a pretty face who can't help him at all.
But he only has one trump card, and once it's used, it's gone. In the future, if any dangers involve higher levels, he will have nothing left to rely on.
But whether it's the calamity star or the immortal book, they're all lifeless and unreachable. This is the only thing we can rely on in critical moments!
The crowd, who had been in despair, now all looked on with anticipation.
Even the usually talkative Star Sword Immortal fell silent, looking over with some surprise. Could this kid really have a way?
They completely ignored the giant hand overhead that seemed to be crushing the world. In the final moment of life and death, time seemed to stand still, and success or failure hinged on this one move!
Especially since this thing looks like an ordinary object, and as we all know, the more ordinary something is, the more unexpected it can be. At this point, they can't possibly be trying to fool us with a tree branch, right?
The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.
Lin Shan finally made up his mind to activate it. The life-saving item was only for saving his life. As for the future, he would deal with it later!
However, before using it, I specifically tried to send a message to the other side through this thing, hoping that a miracle might happen.
Who knows
The boss actually got through to them right away!
While one side faced a life-or-death crisis and the destruction of the spiritual realm, the other side, the man in the straw hat leisurely hummed a fishing tune and casually asked him what was wrong.
"Is something wrong?"
Lin Shan was completely stunned. How could it still connect to the lower realm from the beginning, even through the closed, dim universe? This thing was so heaven-defying!
The man in the straw hat showed no sign of urgency; on the contrary, he was quite relaxed, and one could even hear the birdsong and cicada chirping from that other world, creating a stark contrast with his own situation.
While fishing, he muttered to himself:
"Since my disciple left, my life has been as bland as water. It seems it's time to train a new disciple. Anyway, I'm just idling around. They say one every ten thousand years, and I've already sent a few to the upper realms."
The immortals were indeed playing around with worldly affairs, even counting on their fingers.
Lin Shan quickly recovered his senses, gave a wry smile at the other end of the tree branch, and didn't have time to explain the cause and effect, but just hurriedly told him.
"Senior, I'm in trouble. I have no choice but to use the method you left me back then. I might not be able to contact you anymore. By the way, is there any way for me to escape the Microcosm after this?"
This was a rare opportunity. Before the Star Refiners arrived on the battlefield, he needed to seize the time to inquire about his final arrangements. Sharpening his axe wouldn't delay his work!
The man in the straw hat was a little surprised to hear this, and turned his head and said "Huh?"
"A microcosm? Where is that?"
"."
Lin Shan felt a chill run down his spine.
I was so angry I wanted to curse. I knew I must have gone to the wrong place, and sure enough, I had!
The man in the straw hat and the jinx who mentioned breaking through the void on the path to ascension definitely didn't refer to this place. Why didn't they pester him for the coordinates before they left?
But it was too late to regret it now. He could only force a bitter smile and briefly explain the situation.
Outside, Ancestor Yanling, Ancestor Yuling, Star Sword Immortal, and the members of the Yixian Alliance all looked bewildered, anxiously surrounding him and waiting for the result.
Anyway, we'll die together or live together. If the powerful force behind you really makes contact, we'll swarm you and stick to you no matter what. It's better to live a miserable life than to die!
The man in the straw hat on the other side of the tree listened, but he continued fishing calmly. His relaxed demeanor was something that others could not imitate. He remained unperturbed even if the sky were to fall.
"Oh, I see. Qu Gong recently broke through to the Void Realm and ascended to immortality with his mount. He even contacted me from the Upper Realm to ask about you. I never expected you to be stuck in that godforsaken place."
What? ? ?
Qu Gongna, that fool, actually broke through to the Void Realm smoothly and even ascended to heaven with his mount.
Rhinoceros Demon?
Lin Shan was so jealous he was practically bubbling with envy, and he felt like it was all unfair!
Qu Gong has a good master, that's fine, but why does that idiot Rhino Demon deserve it?
"Senior, it is said that the passage to the Microcosm was sealed by the Immortal Realm back then. How can I return? Please enlighten me!"
"Okay, let me take a look."
The man in the straw hat told him not to rush, and then two powerful gazes pierced through endless space and crossed the universe, shining from the branch in his hand into the faint universe!
This immediately startled everyone on the Xuanwu Spirit Boat!
However, it disappeared without a trace in just a moment.
"Oh, so this is where it is. There's no way to come back. I'll give you the coordinates for a direct smuggling to the Immortal Realm. You can decide what to do then."
As soon as he finished speaking, a star map trajectory was imprinted in his mind.
Lin Shan then realized that all those jinxes and immortal books were just a bunch of old cowards, and the man in the straw hat was the real boss!
"Thank you, senior!"
"You should play it by ear. If you manage to get up there in the future, you can team up with Qu Gong. He should be meeting with his former senior brothers from the Immortal Realm right now, and he might be able to take care of you."
She hung up the phone after saying that, but before leaving, she didn't forget to give him a way out.
This powerful figure in the Immortal Realm has trained many disciples who have ascended to immortality. It seems they've even formed a group. Maybe I can go up there and benefit from their influence?
He had no time to think about these things, because the crisis had already quietly arrived!
Seven breaths had passed outside. The Kongtong Realm was completely controlled by the giant hand that stretched for thousands of miles, and all the Star Martial Emperors and the space fleet were frozen in place. The entire area was enveloped by a powerful star energy magnetic field.
This is the Star Refiner!
The terrifying stellar energy transcends the scope of the stellar martial arts system, no longer merely a punching bag, but a truly great being capable of traversing the starry sky and refining stars.
This is a humanoid weapon from a technological universe, transcending technology, forging its own path of cultivation, and becoming a mainstay that can contend with the immortal universe!
Finally, a hazy figure appeared overhead, indistinct and unclear, making it impossible to tell whether it was human or not.
Two tiny blue eyes appeared on the hazy figure, scanning the world around them. They saw the shattered mountains and rivers and the Xuanwu Spirit Ship, and let out a harsh, grating laugh.
"Kongtong Realm, finally found it! I never imagined it would be so destroyed. Old Man Dongting, do you see this? This is the place you tried so hard to stop me from finding! Hehehe~~~"
The members of the Yixian Alliance listened with complex expressions and remained silent.
It turns out that the Old Man of Dongting had known the location of Kongtong Realm all along, but he was just weaving a lie about a paradise on earth to give the entire Yixian Alliance the courage to continue and to fill them with hope and fantasy for the future.
People live for hope, and a future without hope is destined to shatter all cohesion.
That old man, whom they had never met, had protected them for tens of thousands of years, but in the end, he died a tragic death due to his opponent's scheme.
At this moment, all nine Star Martial Emperors bowed their heads respectfully, welcoming this true end of the Star Martial System, the dream they had pursued their entire lives!
The greatness of the monitors needs no further explanation. If given the opportunity to study in the technological universe, they would not hesitate to abandon everything in their homeland and seek all possible developments in the future. This is the ideology of colonialism under hegemony!
"A bunch of ants, struggling in their death throes."
The hazy figure's gaze swept over the Xuanwu Spirit Boat, but only glanced at it briefly, clearly not taking them seriously. Instead, it stared at a certain place, showing interest beyond that of the others.
That's the sacred mountain and the obelisk!
"The remains of an Immortal Lord from the Immortal Dao Universe possess an energy density comparable to a third or even fourth-level neutron star, exceeding that of a main-sequence star and a white dwarf. If I were to obtain them and study them in the dimensional simulation experimental field, I might be able to break through my current level."
He was speaking in incomprehensible words, but his hand had already reached out and grabbed the obelisk from afar, pulling it outwards with a fierce thud!
The remnants of the immortal path disdain to take such a great figure seriously. Their only purpose in rushing here is to seize the immortal lord's remains!
But in the next moment, this action, whether it angered some being or triggered a contingency plan left behind by the immortal elders, caused a surge of heavenly energy to rise from the ground and instantly lock onto the figure in the sky.
"Hehehe, a bunch of ancient relics who have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, who are you trying to scare?"
The ear-piercing shriek shook the heavens and earth, but the Star Refiner paid no heed. He forcefully pulled the obelisk out of the sacred mountain, and the mountain shattered into pieces amidst boundless light, illuminating the Kongtong Realm with dazzling brilliance.
Beneath the stone tablet lies a giant coffin.
At this moment, the members of the Immortal Alliance forgot about Lin Shan and all lay on the spirit boat looking down. They wanted to find out what was hidden inside even in death. If they could see the Immortal Lord's remains with their own eyes, then their lives would not have been in vain!
The Star Refiner shook hands from afar, an invisible force pulling the coffin towards him, about to seize it.
But at this moment of carelessness, the coffin lid suddenly burst open, white smoke soared into the sky and broke through the universe, ethereal music resounded in all directions, heavenly flowers fell and golden lotuses sprang up from the ground, and chaotic currents in the void came from all directions to pay homage!
Accompanied by a deafening, resounding sound:
"Who dares to desecrate my remains?" (End of Chapter)
