237: Venerable Protector

He Ming, under the gaze of thousands, stood in the void, just a step away from the Universe Venerable level.

Suddenly.

Seven cracks split open in the surrounding space, and from within them, giant arthropod-like hands reached out. Though they appeared massive, their speed was incredibly fast, tearing through space as they pointed toward He Ming.

He Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he made no move.

Because... "Go back."

Venerable Chi Tian suddenly arrived, sweeping out seven Nine-Colored Divine Lights. The cracked spaces healed rapidly as if time were flowing backward, leaving behind only seven segments of the Void Insect King's limbs.

He Ming nodded toward Venerable Chi Tian.

"Thank you, Master."

Venerable Chi Tian nodded slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the seven limbs of the Void Insect King transformed into pure life energy.

"Focus on your breakthrough with peace of mind."

Venerable Chi Tian threw out a Spatial Artifact, from which a large amount of iridescent star marrow crystals gushed out, turning into nine-colored Star Power. Along with the life energy of the Void Insect King, it surged toward He Ming at the center of the black hole.

He Ming closed his eyes and concentrated. His body was like a dried-up riverbed, greedily absorbing the nutrients from the universe.

The Void Insect King attacked several times, but with Venerable Chi Tian guarding the path, it instead accelerated He Ming's breakthrough speed.

A phantom figure formed behind He Ming, gradually becoming solid.

The phantom was dressed in a black dragon robe with an imperial crown on its head, holding an imperial seal of china in its right hand, standing tall between heaven and earth.

Venerable Chi Tian was slightly stunned. Before even fully breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, he had already begun to condense a True Spirit Dharma Idol!

Moreover, the image of this phantom seemed far from simple.

The appearance is born from the heart.

A True Spirit Dharma Idol is not necessarily humanoid.

Venerable Bai Hua's True Spirit Dharma Idol is a taiji diagram.

Venerable Chi Tian's True Spirit Dharma Idol is the six paths of reincarnation disk.

Venerable Qing Ming's True Spirit Dharma Idol is a sharp sword, approximately nine light-years long.

The corners of Venerable Chi Tian's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke softly, "Interesting, the appearance of an emperor..."

"It seems that seal is no ordinary treasure; it should be a Natal Treasure that only the Little Fox can control."

The True Spirit Dharma Idol is the hallmark and manifestation of a Cosmic Venerable's combat power. The phantom's height is measured in stages of one light-year, with a maximum of ten stages, which is one billion light-years.

The phantom evolved by He Ming was only one light-year tall and had not yet fully solidified.

With a thought, Venerable Chi Tian projected the moment of He Ming's breakthrough into the Eastern Universe.

The Interstellar Media's actions were always a step ahead.

That seemingly boundless human emperor phantom was rapidly broadcast to major galaxies.

Milky Way Galaxy, Imperial Capital.

In the royal palace hall, Domain Lord Levels in armor stood on both sides.

They were the core backbone of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Star Tide Empire.

In the center of the hall, a virtual image from the Interstellar Media was playing, showing a human emperor phantom standing between heaven and earth, gradually becoming solid.

The crowd buzzed with discussion, talking among themselves about who this person, who was about to become the eighth Universe Venerable level of the human race, could be.

In a corner of the line, Jiang Yue tugged at her brother's arm and whispered, "Brother, isn't that His Majesty the Human Emperor!"

Jiang Lin was slightly stunned.

"Huh?"

Jiang Yue leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"I said, isn't that His Majesty the Human Emperor!"

Jiang Lin looked up at the human emperor phantom, his consciousness gradually drifting.

"Is His Majesty the Human Emperor about to advance to a Cosmic Venerable..."

In the hall, nearly half of the Domain Lord Levels came from the Blue Star Ancient Martial Arts Faction.

They naturally knew what this human emperor phantom represented.

Wan Xingying sat on the throne, her hands tightly gripping the armrests. The throne, made of obsidian, had ten clearly visible finger marks squeezed into it.

She stared intently at the phantom, thinking to herself, "You must succeed, He Ming. I will wait for you in the Milky Way Galaxy, waiting for your return."

Wan Xingying stroked her belly, her expression softening... At this moment, countless people were watching this scene.

Under the hype of the Interstellar Media, everyone became aware of the significance behind this phantom.

The human race was about to give birth to its eighth Universe Venerable level.

This would become the key to resisting the Zerg invasion.

And the Providence of these people inadvertently surged toward the Abyss, being completely absorbed by the imperial seal of china.

The human emperor phantom gradually solidified and was rising at an astonishing speed.

In less than ten minutes, it had already exceeded one light-year.

Witnessing this scene, Venerable Chi Tian's expression became dazed, his brow furrowed slightly, unable to understand.

The seven Cosmic Venerables of the human race had never condensed a True Spirit Dharma Idol right at the beginning of their breakthrough.

This required a long period of accumulation.

The fastest, Thousand Jin, successfully condensed a True Spirit Dharma Idol ten thousand years after breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, but it was only one light-year tall.

The slowest was Venerable Xuan Ming, who condensed a True Spirit Dharma Idol only after a hundred thousand years, and it was less than one light-year tall.

Yet He Ming, before even fully breaking through, already had a True Spirit Dharma Idol exceeding one light-year in height!

"This..."

Venerable Chi Tian's pupils constricted into thin lines.

He turned to look toward the human border; countless golden threads of Providence were converging toward that phantom, making it even more solid.

The human emperor phantom emitted a precious light, dispelling the boundless darkness of the Abyss.

Behind its back, a Wheel of Providence Light emerged, its golden light dazzling and filled with supreme divinity.

Kill him!

A sharp roar came from the depths of the Abyss.

The Void Insect Kings of the Zerg race went completely mad.

Within a range of hundreds of millions of light-years around He Ming, countless spaces were torn apart, and behemoths tens of thousands of light-years in size crawled out.

On the human side, the pressure on the other five Cosmic Venerables besides Thousand Jin increased dramatically. Several gaps had already been missed, allowing 15 Void Insect Kings to break through space.

Venerable Chi Tian cursed under his breath, summoned the six paths of reincarnation disk, and pushed it forward.

"Regression!"

The six paths of reincarnation disk emitted a nine-colored precious light. The light expanded continuously, covering five of the Void Insect Kings flying this way.

Time seemed to flow backward, and the size of the Void Insect Kings continuously shrank.

"Damn you, Venerable Chi Tian!"

"Retreat!"

The five Void Insect Kings roared unwillingly but dared not stay any longer, retreating back into the spatial cracks and vanishing without a trace.

A light sword nine light-years long descended before the human emperor phantom. The light sword split into two, then four, and in an instant, transformed into billions of giant swords of the same size.

The sword light was dense, sweeping toward the remaining ten Void Giant Insects.

The power of slaughter permeated the air, and sword qi crisscrossed for hundreds of millions of miles.

The Void Giant Insects were sliced into countless fragments in an instant, but they healed again in a flash.

But at that moment, the Sword Array was complete!

The overbearing power of slaughter was unstoppable, crushing and obliterating the Void Insect Kings that tried to approach over and over again.

"Don't be afraid! Charge forward and tear apart that newly ascended human Venerable!"

A white light descended, and a cold voice echoed out.

"Noisy."

The taiji diagram instantly multiplied in size, reaching seven light-years, drawing the ten Void Giant Insects into the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram.

She turned to look at the human emperor phantom, a sharp light flashing in her eyes.

"I really didn't misjudge him."
