103: Xingyuan

Deep in the Sea of the Universe, in the place where light is extinguished.

Legend has it that this is the burial ground of stars, the eternally desolate Star Abyss.

A humanoid creature, completely enveloped in white holy light and possessing twelve pairs of wings, appeared.

If Luo Chen were to see it, wouldn't he say it was an angel from legends?

This strange man looked at the dead silent Star Abyss, which showed no fluctuations, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Then, a pair of gigantic wings, capable of enveloping a planet, unfurled behind him, and from these wings, a torrent composed of countless feathers shot forth.

This torrent of feathers, capable of easily piercing Earth Star like a sieve, failed to create even a ripple in front of the Star Abyss.

It was completely swallowed by the Star Abyss without reservation.

Suddenly, a powerful life fluctuation emanated from the silent Star Abyss, as if a terrifying and ancient beast, disturbed from its rest, was awakening from its slumber.

The next moment, the entrance to the Star Abyss was violently torn open, and a vast, pitch-black claw extended from within the Star Abyss.

This claw was simply too enormous; it seemed that even the entire Earth Star would be nothing more than a toy in its palm, and this man was merely a speck before it.

As the claw extended, the surrounding space was distorted. Stars that were about to be dragged into the Star Abyss instantly shattered before the claw.

With just an extending motion, without even using any Skill, the space around it became distorted, as if it couldn't withstand its might.

However, facing such a terrifying attack, the twelve-winged angel man's expression remained unchanged, and the serene holy light transformed into a sphere of light, firmly enveloping him.

Then, his body seemed to turn into an illusory phantom, as if he were not within this space.

The claw passed through his body without causing any harm.

Apparently seeing that this strike had no effect, the claw retracted and then re-emerged from another spot, but this time, a certain black mist emanated from between the scales of the claw, looking terrifying and ominous.

At this point, the man's expression finally changed, and he hastily stated his purpose.

"Your Excellency Star Abyss, it was truly unavoidable to disturb your slumber this time.

The Ancestral Star is experiencing a resurgence and rise; we hope Your Excellency will unite with my Lord to jointly seize this opportunity."

The voice of the twelve-winged angel-like man,go through a special kind of fluctuation, spread throughout the vast emptiness of the surrounding universe.

Although the sound was not loud, the man was certain that the object he wished to converse with had heard his words.

Indeed, the claw ceased its movement, stopping as if in thought.

After a while, from the depths of the eternally dark Star Abyss, two incomparably bright lights shot forth, like two stars ignited within it.

Immediately following, an enormous head emerged from within the Star Abyss; those two glowing stars were precisely its eyes.

Its head resembled that of a horse, yet it was covered in pitch-black scales and bore antlers, like the head of a dragon.

However, its head was so massive that ordinary people could hardly glimpse its full appearance; even with the fullest extent of their vision, they would only see the area of one or two scales.

A vast and ancient voice resounded, "Who is your master?"

Hearing the gigantic dragon head inquire about his master, the man's eyes revealed a hint of fanaticism.

"He is the benevolent Father, the embodiment of light, the source of love and goodness, the master of the Angel Race, revered as God."

"God, never heard of him. What a strange title. Which epoch did he rise in?"

Hearing the dragon head's dismissive words, anger flickered in the man's eyes, but remembering the task his Lord had given him, he could only endure.

"He rose in the Fifth Epoch, the Barbaric Era."

Upon hearing this, the dragon head's eyes showed even greater disdain.

"He is merely a newly risen Emperor; how dare he speak of cooperation with me?"

As the dragon head uttered its last sentence, a large amount of black mist suddenly appeared around the twelve-winged man.

The holy light sphere enveloping him instantly became pitted and uneven, as if it, along with him, would be corroded the next second.

The man gritted his teeth, "The Star Abyss Emperor Dragon, who rose in the Fourth Epoch, the Canghai Epoch (Vast Sea Epoch), was once of the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon race, but to evolve, he did not hesitate to slaughter his entire clan. This led to the extinction of the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon race."

The Star Abyss Emperor Dragon moved its eyes; a small action for him, yet it caused significant fluctuations in the surrounding space.

"Your master knows quite a lot."

Although he said this, the Star Abyss Emperor Dragon did not seem angry; instead, he stopped the black mist's assault on the man, as if he had finally become interested in the cooperation mentioned by him.

"Not only that, but my Lord once came from the Ancestral Star, and he knows more about how to land on the Ancestral Star early or find its location.

As long as you cooperate with my Lord, all this information will be shared with you."

"How do we cooperate?" The Star Abyss Emperor Dragon extended another claw from the Star Abyss; now it was truly interested.

"My Lord invites Your Excellency to Heaven to discuss with the other Excellencies."

"Is your master perhaps too cautious? Why does a dilapidated Ancestral Star require so many people?" A bloodthirsty glint appeared in the Star Abyss Emperor Dragon's eyes.

"It's not just us; many other forces have set their sights on the Ancestral Star. If we don't want to be eliminated prematurely, we can only strengthen our own teams.

Furthermore, the native Beast Masters of the Ancestral Star are rapidly growing. If we don't want to become their tamed beasts, we can only exterminate humanity in advance."

The Star Abyss Emperor Dragon's slender body slowly emerged completely from the Star Abyss. Its claw casually crushed a planet still emitting a faint light and threw it into its mouth.

Then, it licked the corner of its mouth, still unsatisfied. Its eyes gazed at the twelve-winged man's wings behind him; it had been a long time since it tasted a body of the Celestial Star Realm.

Thinking it, doing it, the Star Abyss Emperor Dragon never suppressed its desires. Its body suddenly shrank, becoming about a dozen meters long.

Then, it extended its claw and forcibly tore off the wings from the twelve-winged man's back.

"Ah."

The man, in front of the shrunken Star Abyss Emperor Dragon, still had no power to resist, only watching as the twelve wings, which represented his status in Heaven, entered the Star Abyss Emperor Dragon's mouth.

"Your Excellency," the man gritted his teeth and called out.

"What is it?" The Star Abyss Emperor Dragon cast a curious gaze upon him.

"Hiss." The man suppressed his pain, forcing out a stiff smile, "Nothing, as long as Your Excellency enjoys the meal."

"Your race is indeed quite suitable as food. When we reach Heaven, I must ask your 'God' for a batch. I'm tired of eating these stars every day."

The man, having lost his wings, remained silent. He pretended not to hear the Star Abyss Emperor Dragon's words and instead carefully asked, "Your Excellency, can we depart now?"

The Star Abyss Emperor Dragon shrank a bit more, coiling on the man's head, "Let's go."

It clearly assumed the posture of treating the man as a mount.

The man harbored resentment in his heart, but his face revealed no emotion. Instead, the torn-off wings on his back grew back.

Sensing that the Star Abyss Emperor Dragon had no intention of tearing off his wings this time, the man's wings gently flapped, tearing through space and disappearing into the depths of the cosmos.
