236: Chapter 226 Fallen Saint Flower

Deep within the Luan Kong Galaxy.

A massive shadow floated at the center of the galaxy.

The shadow was incredibly vast, far exceeding that of a conventional planet.

Its size was almost comparable to that of an average star.

Stars in the Universe are generally enormous, but in this galaxy, while the star still existed, the light it emitted had turned red, clearly having entered the red giant phase.

A red star represents the old age of a star.

It is the twilight era after a star has lost a massive amount of energy.

At this moment, if anyone were present, they would discover that the space around the solar star was constantly opening and closing, cracking apart with dense Void Realm fissures.

This was actually the fundamental reason why the star had entered the red giant phase.

The burning of the solar star released a massive amount of energy, but the Luan Kong Galaxy had already been shattered by the power of Laws, making the space exceptionally fragile.

The burning of the star caused the surrounding fragile space to be unable to withstand the heat, causing it to shatter directly.

Consequently, a massive amount of the star's energy leaked away, causing it to enter the red giant phase in just a few thousand years.

The red light of the star illuminated the entire Luan Kong Galaxy.

It made the entire galaxy look extremely eerie.

Even more eerie were the shattered planets and the shadow at the center of the galaxy that was as large as the red star.

That behemoth even attracted the shattered parts of the surrounding planets toward it.

Dense debris revolved around it, forming an asteroid belt.

The space surrounding the Luan Kong Galaxy was exceptionally fragile, with spatial energy storms constantly blowing, leaving the entire galaxy in a state of deathly silence.

The chaotic energy storms made this place a veritable dead zone within the Neili Star Sector.

Back then, the number of explorers and even Vagada Civilization warriors who set foot here was countless.

But unfortunately, unless one had mastered Laws, it was impossible to survive here.

Too many people died here in the past.

This had become a dead galaxy that no civilization in Neili dared to step into.

Whoosh!!!

A wisp of spatial wind blew past, and a large planetary fragment ahead suddenly cracked and then shattered.

Blown by the spatial wind, the large amount of debris shot away like a stream of energy.

It shot straight ahead.

But.

The space here was fragile.

Such a rapid projection directly caused a spatial collapse; fissures were born as a result, and the Void Realm flashed in and out of existence.

Similarly, the straight-shooting stream of debris energy vanished instantly, swallowed by the Void Realm.

The matter within the galaxy decreased once again.

Such scenes could be seen at any moment within the galaxy.

This was the fundamental reason why this place was called the Dead Galaxy.

Logically speaking, no one should set foot here.

After all, even those at the Saint rank would need to mobilize a massive amount of mental effort to stay on guard.

But at a certain moment.

A figure directly broke into this place.

That figure suddenly flickered, dodging a spatial fissure that abruptly appeared behind them.

"This place is indeed dangerous!"

High Priest Che Yi sighed with lingering fear.

His body constantly leaped and flew, dodging the suddenly appearing spatial fissures and void winds on one hand, while steadily approaching that massive shadow in the distance on the other.

Che Yi wore a set of form-fitting, exquisite armor. The style was light and not cumbersome, yet it allowed him to easily survive in space.

The Luan Kong Galaxy was simply too dangerous.

Large-scale spaceships were completely unable to enter.

They would be torn apart by spatial fissures the moment they entered.

Because of this, Che Yi had abandoned his starship and, wearing his armor, set foot in the Luan Kong Galaxy alone.

His strength had reached the Transformation Stage.

Although it was easy to encounter danger, as long as he kept his emotions and will stable, he wouldn't easily fall into a crisis.

Furthermore, his Spiritual Sense was constantly surging, frantically alerting him to an Opportunity ahead that was hard to come by.

The chance to become a Saint!

These words were constantly dancing in his heart.

A lifetime of cultivation was for nothing else!

It was precisely to become a Saint!

Now that the Opportunity was right before him, Che Yi believed that not just him, but any person in the Transformation Stage would not ignore it.

Becoming a Saint was inherently difficult.

Even with the most ample preparation, it was a narrow escape from death with numerous difficulties.

With the chance to become a Saint appearing before him, even if it was extremely dangerous, Che Yi believed that any Transformation Stage expert would not ignore it.

Swoosh!

Che Yi flickered again, dodging the debris shooting toward him.

His gaze was alert, radiating divine light.

His Mental Energy was pushed to the limit.

Especially his Spiritual Sense, which was constantly warning him of the dangers he was about to face.

Che Yi did not dare to use energy.

However, the Laws he had come into contact with during the Transformation Stage granted him powerful propulsion.

Relying on his physical body and the most advanced armor technology of the Vagada Civilization, Che Yi constantly leaped through the Luan Kong Galaxy, dodging dangers and drawing closer to the massive shadow at the center.

His heart was burning with passion.

But similarly, he was also alert to the extreme.

Time passed minute by minute.

It took a full three days before Che Yi approached the massive shadow at the center.

At this moment, his entire suit of armor was filled with dense cracks.

It looked as if it could shatter at any moment.

This was the greatest crisis Che Yi had encountered in the past three days.

During this crisis, even though his Spiritual Sense was powerful, the event happened so suddenly that he was slammed hard by the void wind before he could dodge.

This crisis caused his armor to be heavily damaged, and in the end, he was forced to mobilize the power of Laws to escape.

"Finally here!!!"

Che Yi stood panting on the asteroid belt of the massive shadow.

His gaze was full of shock as he looked at the massive creature before him.

A creature!

That's right!

This shadow, which was comparable in size to a star, was actually a living creature.

However, at this moment, this creature had already become a corpse!

This was precisely the Astral Behemoth that had invaded the Neili Star Sector back then.

Now.

Even though this creature had been dead for thousands of years.

The residual pressure around its body actually made Che Yi's scalp tingle, and even his Soul trembled slightly.

A terrifying aura permeated the surroundings.

"Whew!"

Che Yi suppressed the fear in his heart, his gaze becoming determined.

"The Opportunity is inside the Astral Behemoth's body!"

Feeling the prompt from his Spiritual Sense, Che Yi rested for a moment and then charged directly toward the behemoth's body.

He broke inside directly through the behemoth's nasal cavity.

After passing through a long passage, he entered the interior of the behemoth.

The Astral Behemoth was so vast that its interior was no longer entirely made of flesh and blood.

After passing through the passage, he directly stepped into a new world.

Yes, a world!

The interior of the behemoth was a world!

There were mountains and rivers, flowers and trees!

Inside a behemoth far larger than a conventional planet, any place could become a breeding ground for life.

High Priest Che Yi's body was not even as large as a parasite on this behemoth.

Similarly, compared to an Astral Behemoth, a human body was essentially no larger than a microbe.

Mysterious glowing objects overhead shone like a brilliant sea of stars, illuminating the entire world as brightly as the daytime outside.

A breeze blew, and the fragrance of trees and flowers permeated the air!

Not far away, there were even the sounds of beast roars.

This made Che Yi even more alert.

He fell silent for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, he once again mobilized the power of Laws to surround his body.

He directly shielded his own presence.

Experts in the Transformation Stage have already begun to come into contact with the power of Laws, but the power of Laws they can control at this stage is very minute.

The range of effect is also pitifully small.

But Laws are Laws.

Even if the range is small, Laws are existences that stand above the various powers of reality.

The small range didn't allow Che Yi to perform large-scale attacks, but shielding his own presence and aura was exceptionally simple.

Che Yi followed the prompts from his Spiritual Sense and began to fly forward.

His own aura was shielded, but he still didn't fly in a blatant manner.

Instead, he constantly accelerated his flight at a height close to the ground.

Although this world looked lush and green, as Che Yi continued to fly, he discovered that the vitality here was not just a little different compared to the world inside a normal planet.

There were even dead zones from time to time.

After thinking for just a moment, Che Yi understood.

The vitality of this world was so weak, presumably because much of it had been extracted by the Astral Behemoth in the beginning.

Suddenly, Che Yi's speed slowed down.

He became even more careful in his movements.

On the ground in the distance, several Vicious Beasts were actually fighting.

These Vicious Beasts were far inferior to the Astral Behemoth, but their three to five-meter-long bodies and their power to crack stones and shatter boulders during combat were also extraordinary.

This was not the reason for Che Yi's alertness.

What truly made him alert was the massive cave not far away.

Inside, wisps of Legendary-level pressure were being radiated without any restraint.

Clearly, there was a Legendary Vicious Beast there.

Looking at those small Vicious Beasts again, Che Yi guessed that they should be juvenile Vicious Beasts, and that bit of fighting was clearly just them playing around.

The Legendary-level Vicious Beast in the cave was the parent of these small beasts.

Che Yi paused for a moment and still left silently.

Although he could easily kill that Legendary behemoth.

It was quite unnecessary.

Being in this place.

Coupled with the sensitive period he was in as a Transformation Stage expert, he would avoid fighting whenever possible.

Che Yi continued to fly forward.

Along the way, he constantly encountered some Vicious Beasts.

These Vicious Beasts were of various types, and he encountered all sorts of levels.

There was even a Vicious Beast with High-level Legendary strength.

That Vicious Beast was covered in flames and occupied a large mountain for itself, making other creatures dare not set foot there.

All of this.

Che Yi ignored it all; the power of Laws ensured the concealment of his aura.

In this way, he constantly approached the place indicated by his Spiritual Sense.

He continued to approach until, at a certain moment, he landed in an unusual place.

A deep, icy blue, massive lake appeared on the land.

A wisp of extreme and heavy pressure wandered over this land.

When Che Yi broke into this place according to his Spiritual Sense, his figure paused, and the heavy pressure directly forced him to land.

Che Yi looked at the icy blue lake before him, sighed softly, and whispered:

"Place of a Saint's Fall!"

This was precisely the place where a Saint of the Vagada Civilization had fallen.

Che Yi could even clearly see that the massive icy blue lake before him was filled with a large amount of Law power.

This place was a lake formed by the pure agitation of Laws.

The Saint Ancestor from back then was a master of the Major Achievement of both Ice and Water Laws.

His strength was unsurpassed throughout history, and he held extremely high praise within the Cosmic Union.

"Is the chance to become a Saint actually here!"

Che Yi whispered.

His heart was a bit heavy.

He hadn't expected that the chance to become a Saint indicated by his Spiritual Sense would actually be at the place where the Saint Ancestor fell.

Che Yi paused; he looked at the massive icy blue lake before him, his expression full of respect!

He directly knelt down toward the icy blue lake:

"Saint Ancestor above, your descendant Che Yi thanks the Saint Ancestor for granting this Opportunity!!!"

The Saint Ancestor had been dead for thousands of years, but since the Opportunity was here, Che Yi was certain it was brought by the Saint Ancestor.

After bowing, he slowly stood up and then walked toward the lake.

The moment he set foot on the lake's surface, the entire world suddenly spun.

By the time he regained his senses, he had already appeared in a mysterious space.

Che Yi immediately saw a man sitting cross-legged in the space.

That person was dressed in the ancient attire of the Vagada Civilization, and his cross-legged body was exceptionally upright.

His expression was calm, and his eyes were tightly closed.

But just by sitting cross-legged, a mysterious aura emanated from his body.

It was a temperament that stood above all living beings, like that of a god.

"Saint Ancestor..."

Che Yi looked at the man blankly, whispering in his mouth.

When he was born, he had once triggered the projection of the Saint Ancestor to emerge from the long river of history, and plus, as the High Priest, he naturally knew the Saint Ancestor's appearance.

He was one hundred percent certain that the man before him was the Saint Ancestor himself.

But he also knew that although the Saint Ancestor before him looked lifelike, he had already lost all vitality.

Just like that massive Astral Behemoth outside, the space and world inside still had vitality and vigor, but in essence, the Astral Behemoth was already dead.

Che Yi took a deep breath.

Once again, he respectfully knelt and bowed to his ancestor.

After bowing, he then placed his gaze on the place behind his ancestor.

There, a slender green vine was wrapped around the Saint Ancestor's body.

And a flower radiating golden light was blooming leisurely.

"fallen saint flower!!!"

High Priest Che Yi's eyes suddenly constricted, and he cried out in shock.

His spirit swept over the golden flower.

He immediately felt the aura contained within that flower that stood above everything else.

Extraordinary and refined, like a god;

High and mighty, pressuring heaven and earth!

The Internal Energy contained a supreme aura that made all living beings tremble!

Che Yi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The fallen saint flower!

It was a miraculous spiritual plant.

It would only grow in places where a Saint-rank being had fallen.

But that didn't mean a fallen saint flower would definitely bloom in every place where a Saint-rank being had fallen.

The conditions required for a fallen saint flower to bloom were simply too harsh.

According to statistics from the Cosmic Union, the probability of a fallen saint flower appearing was one in ten thousand.

In other words, ten thousand places of a Saint's fall might not even produce a single fallen saint flower!

Ten thousand places of a Saint's fall, heh, those aren't exactly common!

Ten thousand Saint-ranks—just thinking about it was terrifying!

For example, right now, the Cosmic Union was vast and boundless, but those on record were only around twenty thousand Saint-ranks!

One could see how scarce the number was.

The probability of a fallen saint flower appearing was even more pitifully small.

And since the fallen saint flower was so rare, it was naturally exceptionally precious!

It could allow a person to have a certain chance of inheriting the Law power of the fallen Saint.

Even if they couldn't inherit it, it would greatly accelerate the progress of comprehending Laws.

If a Transformation Stage being consumed a fallen saint flower, it could basically increase the success rate in the Tribulation of Sainthood by fifty percent.

A fifty percent probability was countless times greater than that one-in-a-thousand or one-in-ten-thousand chance.

This could be said to be the divine medicine that all Transformation Stage experts dreamed of!!
