Chapter 690
Lord of Ten Thousand Stars
In the chaotic sea, the turbulent currents of order gradually subsided.
The overwhelming torrent of rules, powerful enough to annihilate any supreme being, retreated as if a subject had met his king the moment the innate demon god awoke, daring not to act rashly again.
The head, larger than any star, slowly rose from the deepest part of the Chaos Sea.
As the head rose, a thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the chaotic sea, as if some enormous creature was awakening from its slumber.
The first thing to appear is the neck.
Its neck was as thick as a mountain range, covered with the same grayish-brown keratin as its head. Countless natural Dao patterns were engraved on the keratin, each of which shimmered with the primordial light of the beginning of chaos.
Then the shoulders.
His shoulders were as broad as a plain, extending to the left and right, almost occupying half of the sky.
Next is the chest.
His chest was as thick as the earth, his muscles were bulging, and he possessed a terrifying power that existed since the beginning of time.
finally--
That innate demon god finally revealed its true form completely.
That was a giant that was a million feet tall!
He stood in the center of the chaotic sea, with the sky above him and nothingness beneath his feet, surrounded by chaotic mist. This mist was no ordinary cloud, but rather the primordial chaos energy left over from the beginning of creation, each wisp of which was enough to crush stars and shatter the void.
His face was ancient and dignified, like a statue carved at the beginning of time.
With high brow bones and deep-set eyes, his pair of chaotic eyes resembled two bottomless abysses, containing the mysteries of the universe's birth and death.
His body was not perfect—there was a huge crack on his left shoulder, as if it were a wound left by some force when the world was created; his right arm was covered with a strange crystal, which shimmered with starlight, as if it were a mark left after merging with some kind of great law.
These scars bear witness to the long years he has lived from the beginning of time to the present.
"It's been a long time since I've appeared in this form..."
The Lord of Myriad Stars murmured to himself, his voice like thunder rolling across the sky, shaking the entire chaotic sea.
He looked down at his enormous hands.
With its palm outstretched, it could cover an entire star field; with its five fingers closed, it could crush a star.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had revealed his true form.
Billions of years?
Or even longer?
So long ago that he himself couldn't remember.
But today, facing someone of Gu Qingfeng's level, he felt it necessary to meet him in his true form.
This is respect.
It is also a warning.
Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back in the void, calmly observing the innate demon god who was a million feet tall before him.
With his cultivation level as a Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerable, he naturally had no fear of being suppressed by such a large size.
At their level, size is no longer a measure of strength—even a ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon could be destroyed with a flick of its finger.
But this innate demon god is different.
The aura emanating from him, the primal Daoist charm that shared the same origin as heaven and earth and the same root as creation, forced even Gu Qingfeng to pay some attention to him.
now.
The innate demon god fully awoke from his slumber, and his speech became much more fluent.
"Who are you? You are incredibly powerful, the strongest being I have ever seen since my birth!"
The innate demon god spoke with a mixture of curiosity and seriousness.
After all, as a being born from the place where this starry sky was nurtured, his strength is beyond doubt.
If there are supreme beings in the starry sky, then there is absolutely nothing that can compare to them.
But now.
Gu Qingfeng's aura was as deep as an abyss, causing even the innate demon god to feel a faint sense of threat, which naturally made him take it very seriously.
In this regard.
Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly: "My name is Gu Qingfeng, and I am the master of the Xuantian Immortal Court. May I ask your name?"
"Name... I have had no name since my birth, but there were once beings who worshipped me and called me the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars!"
Lord of all stars!
These four words shook Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou to their core.
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, not particularly surprised by the title.
Just then.
The Lord of Myriad Stars asked again, "This is the place where I slumber. Fellow Daoist, you have come uninvited. May I ask what your purpose is?"
"I have long heard that the Chaos Sea is one of the ancient secret realms in this starry sky. I have heard about it before, so I came to see it for myself."
"I never expected to find such a powerful figure as you in this Chaos Sea. I'm truly sorry to have disturbed you!"
Gu Qingfeng casually replied, and the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars had no doubts about it.
but.
The Lord of Myriad Stars paused, then looked curious again: "Your strength is very strong, but you don't have the decaying aura of those Celestial Venerables. That's really strange."
The supreme being who attained enlightenment in the previous era was a junior named Tianyan. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have perished in the Forbidden Zone of Ancient Gods.
In this era of Dharma decline, which has not yet ended, there is absolutely no one who will be able to attain the supreme state of enlightenment.
You are not a newly ascended supreme being... yet you possess no trace of decay... Could it be that you, like the original, can enjoy immortality?!
In that instant, the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars seemed to have deduced everything, and when he looked at Gu Qingfeng again, there was a hint of shock in his eyes.
Although the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars has been asleep for many years, as a primordial demon god who has lived for countless years, his wisdom is naturally unmatched by ordinary people.
However, his unparalleled strength and self-imposed slumber meant that he rarely had the opportunity to use his own wisdom.
Only when facing an existence of equal caliber to Gu Qingfeng will the Lord of Myriad Stars think more deeply.
In this regard.
Gu Qingfeng did not answer directly, but instead caught another meaning in the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars' words.
"Judging from your words, fellow Daoist, could it be that you have already attained immortality?"
"Not bad!"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Stars readily admitted it, his words carrying an unprecedented air of arrogance.
"The beings in this starry sky cannot live forever, but I am different. At the beginning of chaos, I was able to glimpse a part of the mysteries of heaven, and thus I can attain immortality."
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao regarded this being as an anomaly, so this being could only slumber in this chaotic sea.
This chaotic sea was also formed from the power left over from the beginning of chaos.
Here, rules and order are in chaos, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot affect it…
Upon hearing this...
Gu Qingfeng finally showed a look of understanding.
That's it!
Now, upon closer observation, he could also discover that the aura emanating from the innate demon god before him was different from that of other beings in the starry sky.
The other person possessed both the aura of the starry sky and the aura of the endless immortal realm.
The atmosphere of the two different places was mixed and chaotic, which was something Gu Qingfeng had never seen before.
visible.
When this Immortal Realm was first opened, the Lord of Myriad Stars must have obtained some fortuitous opportunity, which allowed him to establish a connection with the Endless Immortal Realm, thus granting him endless lifespan.
But a pity.
Even so, it is difficult for the other party to break free from the shackles.
and so.
The Lord of Myriad Stars can live forever, but it is difficult to truly break through to immortality. This kind of indirect immortality is also a kind of torment.
The Lord of Myriad Stars was unaware of Gu Qingfeng's thoughts; he was currently filled with curiosity about the former.
Having lived for countless years, he is considered one of the oldest beings in the starry sky, and the Lord of Myriad Stars has seen far too many powerful beings.
Many supreme beings throughout history have stepped into the Chaos Sea and met him.
Anyone who can break through to the Supreme Realm is an exceptionally talented individual.
Even so, no one has ever been able to attain immortality. Now that the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars sees that Gu Qingfeng can achieve immortality, he is naturally very curious.
"It's weird!"
"Could the forbidden technique that I passed down in the past truly grant immortality?"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Stars muttered to himself, and his words caused Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou's expressions to change drastically.
next interest.
Then Li Chenzhou blurted out, "Could it be that such a dark secret technique was truly passed down by the senior?!"
"Dark magic?"
Gu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
At this moment, Feng Xuan spoke up to explain: "The so-called Dark Secret Techniques are actually forbidden arts practiced by ancient Heavenly Venerables and Supreme Beings throughout history."
Those who cultivate this dark secret technique are able to slaughter living beings and plunder their life essence to prolong their own lifespan.
Legend has it that the first powerful individual to cultivate the Dark Secret Technique obtained it from a supreme being who called himself the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars.
Regarding these rumors, some believe them while others doubt them; I, too, initially scoffed at them.
But now it seems the rumors were true!
As Feng Xuan finished speaking, he took a deep breath and looked at the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars with awe.
The person before me, who calls himself the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, is another being who has attained immortality.
It's not impossible that such forbidden techniques originated from the other party.
the other side.
Gu Qingfeng understood this as well.
According to this logic, then the other party could be considered the source of the dark turmoil.
Without such forbidden techniques, how could there be darkness and turmoil?
Upon hearing what the two said, the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars showed a look of reminiscence.
"The person you're talking about must be the first being in the starry sky to reach the supreme level!"
"I still remember that at the beginning of the chaos, the starry sky was desolate. After countless years, life was born."
Later, some beings were fortunate enough to comprehend the cultivation method, and then, by sheer luck, they stumbled into the Chaos Sea and were able to see the true form.
"At that time, I was in a good mood, so I taught him some cultivation methods. I didn't expect that he would actually succeed in cultivating them."
After some time, this person returned, having also cultivated to a considerable level.
This realm, in your current terms, is the Supreme Realm.
"He is the first supreme being in the starry sky, if we don't count myself—"
The Lord of All Stars added a sentence at the end.
He recounted his story little by little.
Memories of the past are gradually reviving.
The rest of the plot is simple.
The first supreme being of that starry sky wanted to find a way to advance further, but the Lord of Myriad Stars was unaware of this.
to this end.
The other party then sought the art of immortality, and later the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars passed on that forbidden technique to the other party.
And then.
This is how forbidden techniques spread.
Upon hearing what the other party said, both Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou fell silent.
Done.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Stars remained silent for a long time before snapping out of his reverie. He then looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked the same question again.
"Fellow Daoist, you haven't yet explained how you achieved immortality?"
Gu Qingfeng made no attempt to conceal anything about this issue.
"The reason for my immortality is simple: I am not a being from this celestial realm."
Beyond the starry sky lies the endless Immortal Realm, where Celestial Venerables can achieve immortality, and even those above the so-called Supreme Venerable can advance further, stepping into the realm of Immortal Celestial Venerables.
Endless Immortal Realm!
Immortal Celestial Venerable!
The innate demon god's face showed shock, clearly indicating that Gu Qingfeng's words had a tremendous impact on him.
"Fellow Daoist, you are a being that has existed since the beginning of this starry sky. You have a deep foundation and should have the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Realm."
Unfortunately, this starry sky is both an opportunity and a prison for you, fellow Daoist.
If the starry sky had not been opened up, you would not have been able to be born. This is an opportunity for you.
However, the path to immortality in the starry sky is severed, and the path to eternal life is as illusory as a mirage; this is where the cage is located.
"If you are willing, fellow Daoist, I might help you break free from this cage and truly witness the outside world!"
Gu Qingfeng's words silenced the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars once again.
The other party's short sentence contained far too much information, so much that he needed to digest it properly.
Get out of here!
The Lord of All Stars certainly considered this.
I've thought about it countless times.
Throughout the long years, in his lonely slumber, he fantasized countless times about leaving this chaotic land.
Unfortunately, the rules of this starry sky do not allow him to leave.
He was a primordial demon god born at the beginning of chaos, and he has countless connections with this world.
His very existence is a provocation against the rules of Heaven.
Once he leaves the Chaos Sea, Heaven will unleash divine punishment to completely obliterate him.
So he had no choice but to hide here.
They hid in this chaotic land where rules were disordered and the laws of heaven could not reach.
Day after day, year after year, for billions of years, it has been the same.
for a long time.
The Lord of Myriad Stars slowly said, "How can you make me leave? And what do I need to give in return?"
"I cannot answer your question about how to leave, but if you give me some time, I can help you escape."
As for the cost... in the Endless Immortal Realm, our human race is at odds with a race called the Evil God, to the point of no return.
If you, fellow Daoist, manage to escape your predicament and attain immortality, then you will need to join forces with our race to fight against the evil god clan!
Gu Qingfeng said.
Upon hearing this...
The Lord of All Stars agreed without hesitation.
After all, it's not a loss for him.
If what Gu Qingfeng said is false, then at worst he can just maintain the status quo and continue to sleep in the Chaos Sea.
If what the other party said is true, and I can escape this predicament, then it wouldn't be a big problem for me to help the human race.
After all, the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars is willing to pay any price just to leave this place.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly.
"Alright, then fellow Daoist, please wait patiently!"
……
Half a day later.
Gu Qingfeng, Feng Xuan, and Li Chenzhou left the Chaos Sea.
Although he did not obtain any treasures on this trip to the Chaos Sea, he gained the Lord of Myriad Stars as an ally, which made the trip worthwhile in Gu Qingfeng's opinion.
A powerful being destined to attain immortality is more valuable than many fortunate opportunities. (End of Chapter)
