Chapter 240: Reach the Demon Star

"What can I do?"

Lu Xun was also very anxious.

He thought of all his many methods, but still couldn't think of a way to deal with the Ancient God.

There's nothing to be done; the strength gap is too great.

Even if the Ancient God was knocked unconscious by the God-Suppressing Nail, its strength reduced to a hundredth, it's still not something Lu Xun can handle now.

The God Slave is a Tenth Realm cultivator.

A Tenth Realm cultivator, facing such a weakened Ancient God, is still no match.

What could Lu Xun do?

"Boom~"

The Ancient God's third strike arrived.

The God Slave's aura surged throughout his body; he used some secret art that burned his essence blood, even his life force.

But such a secret art is still not enough against the Ancient God.

"Pfft!"

The God Slave vomited blood again, and the space around him shattered inch by inch.

He adopted some method to grasp the surrounding space, using it to anchor himself.

Otherwise, with the terrifying power of the Ancient God, a single slap would have sent him flying.

"He's done for!"

After three strikes, the God Slave was completely finished.

The Ancient God's towering giant hand struck again, and with a fierce grab it caught the God Slave in its palm.

Then it clenched tightly, trying to crush the God Slave to pieces.

"Ten thousand years of servitude... Today, even if my body and spirit are destroyed, I will die standing!"

The God Slave's body erupted with a piercing blood flame; his bones emitted a sound of breaking under the Ancient God's immense force, yet he showed no fear.

After serving as the God Slave for so many years, he had had enough.

To him, perhaps death was a kind of release.

At that moment, suddenly, a figure appeared not far from the God Slave.

"Nian'er, you've finally grown up."

On that figure's face appeared an expression of relief.

"Father!"

The God Slave's tears streamed down his face.

That figure was precisely the First Ancient Remnant.

"Don't be afraid, Father has come to keep you company."

After the God Slave's father finished speaking, he turned into a beam of light and merged into the God Slave's body.

Immediately afterward, the God Slave's body began to glow, actually managing to block the Ancient God's palm.

"How did he run out...?"

On the other side, Lu Xun noticed the God Slave's father leaving.

This made him feel guilty toward the God Slave.

The God Slave entrusted his father's remnant thought to him, and now he doesn't hesitate to act to block the Ancient God.

As a result, the God Slave's father ran off himself.

The God Slave's father had certainly been strong before; just after he ran out, Lu Xun didn't even have time to stop him.

"I've got it, I've got it—I've thought of a way! You possess a rather strange power, don't you? Try using it to sustain an area and see if you can block the Ancient God's aura."

Barbara suddenly said.

Thank goodness, she finally thought of a way.

Lu Xun didn't waste words and immediately released Chaos Power.

When Barbara was Xiao Bai, she followed Lu Xun every day and thus knew part of his secrets.

Including Chaos Power.

This time, the Chaos Power Lu Xun released fused four kinds of power.

Spiritual Power, True Qi, Demonic Power, Monster Power.

The Chaos Power of those four kinds, once released, spread outward around Lu Xun.

"Seems possible, make it bigger!"

Barbara had already rushed out from the inner realm space; after feeling it, she said.

Possible?

Chaos Power is surprisingly powerful.

It can isolate the Ancient God's aura.

In fact, what is isolated is not only the Ancient God's aura, but also its influence on the surrounding heavenly and earthly laws.

You should know that around the Ancient God, it is heaven, it is earth; the heavenly and earthly laws all yield to it.

But Chaos Power can carve out a pure land around the Ancient God!

This is enough to show the marvel of Chaos Power.

"Good thing we obtained Monster Power."

Lu Xun felt that if not for obtaining Monster Power, Chaos Power would have become even stronger, perhaps not giving such a good effect.

He frantically released Chaos Power, which continually spread outward, expanding the sustained area.

At the center of this region, the influence brought by the Ancient God's aura is also growing weaker.

"Not good!"

Just then,

The Ancient God seemed to have sensed the chaotic power.

Its pair of eyes, full of anger, suddenly froze.

Immediately,

It seemed to have discovered some rare treasure, and its pair of eyes, larger than Tai Lake, instantly shone like stars.

The Ancient God directly loosened its grip on the god slave that was about to be crushed, and its right hand lunged toward Lu Xun.

As for its left hand, it was still pressing down on the God-Suppressing Nail, preventing the nail from unleashing its power.

"Hurry!"

Lu Xun became anxious.

Mibba seized %* Badonike...

Just as Lu Xun was getting anxious, Barbara chanted the spell.

The next second, a black hole appeared, directly swallowing Lu Xun and Barbara.

Almost as Lu Xun and Barbara were being swallowed, the Ancient God's towering hand arrived, but it grasped at nothing.

With a single grab, its hand seized all of the chaotic power that Lu Xun had released.

Then, it placed those chaotic powers in its mouth to taste them.

On its face, which could rival two continents, a look of ecstasy appeared.

Its eyes, which had already lit up, became as bright as two great suns.

With a fierce grab, its hand seized the dying god slave and pulled it back.

Originally, the Ancient God, in its violent rage, had been preparing to kill the god slave.

Now, however, it changed its mind.

"Barbara, you almost got me killed!"

On the other side,

On the flying vessel, Lu Xun couldn't help but complain.

"Meow~"

In his arms, Little White rubbed against Lu Xun, as if telling him not to get angry, because anger would make him age.

Barbara's banishment spell was indeed effective.

Lu Xun was successfully banished by that spell to a place far from the Ancient God.

But,

I don't know if it's due to terrible luck or some other reason.

The place where Lu Xun appeared happened to be near a black hole.

Near the black hole, even the Heavenly Dao Talisman is difficult to use successfully.

The black hole's gravity would have an unpredictable effect on the passage; even if used successfully, the risk would be too great.

Lu Xun almost got sucked into the black hole.

Fortunately, the distance was still far enough, and with the Star Sea Flying Vessel given by Fu Xue being powerful enough, he managed to escape disaster.

Barbara did not deceive him.

The destination of the banishment spell is indeed random.

This time, the luck was still decent.

If the luck were bad, he might have appeared directly inside the black hole, which would have meant certain death.

As for Barbara,

After using the banishment spell, she turned back into Little White.

No matter how you say it, although this time there were some setbacks, the overall result was still good.

At least they escaped.

The only thing that made Lu Xun feel it wasn't perfect was that the god slave and his father had likely encountered misfortune.

Although the god slave's intervention was mainly to allow his father to escape.

But who made his father run back again in the end.

This made Lu Xun feel that not having fulfilled others' trust left him feeling somewhat guilty.

"Let's go back first."

A few days later, after moving further away from the black hole, Lu Xun took out the Heavenly Dao Talisman, preparing to use it.

Having finally escaped, let's first return to Lan Xing and then talk.

It's almost nine months since the Rainbow Bridge appeared; if Lan Xing were to run away, we'd be left crying without tears.

"Huh? What is that?"

After holding the Heavenly Dao Talisman in his hand, Lu Xun was about to activate it, but he suddenly noticed the situation.

His motion to activate the Heavenly Dao Talisman came to an abrupt halt.

Because, in the nearby cosmic space, there was a faintly shining star.

That star's brightness is very low; if you move a little farther away, you can't see it.

"It looks like a planet... it couldn't be another spirit star, could it?"

After observing with the Heavenly Eye for a while, Lu Xun felt it was highly likely.

After thinking it over, Lu Xun decided to go take a look.

He activated the star sea flying vessel and silently sneaked past.

"Not much like Lan Xing."

As the distance closed, the light of that spirit star grew brighter and brighter.

Lu Xun discovered that this spirit star was probably not Lan Xing.

"Demon star? Blood star? Or barbarian star..."

Lu Xun's mind filled with various speculations.

In this ancient route node, there are still several spirit stars.

These spirit stars are separated by vast distances; encounters between spirit stars are rare.

On Lan Xing, the vast majority of cultivators, even if they have clashed with foreign races, have never seen these spirit stars.

Now, Lu Xun happened to bump into one.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Xun naturally wanted to see what kind of spirit star this was.

This spirit star is somewhat special; it actually emits light.

A spirit star isn't a star, so how could it emit light?

It can only be light produced by the foreign beings on it.

Like Lan Xing, there are several hundred fortresses in space.

The light emitted by those several hundred fortresses bathes Lan Xing as if it were daytime.

But this light shines inward; outward there is hardly any light, which is more conducive to concealment.

The light of this spirit star... actually shines outward.

That is rather abnormal.

After a short while, the star sea flying vessel approached that spirit star.

"Not right, there's a formation..."

Just as he approached, Lu Xun discovered that around this spirit star there existed an unusually large formation.

"Space... could it be a teleportation formation?"

This formation gave Lu Xun the feeling of being like a teleportation formation.

But if it is a teleportation formation, isn't this teleportation formation a bit too large?

The star sea flying vessel activated stealth mode and drew even closer to the spirit star.

"How can the tree be so tall?"

Lu Xun suddenly saw that on top of this spirit star there was a tree so tall it shot out into space.

This tree is huge, over a hundred kilometers tall; its crown extends directly into space, there absorbing starlight.

"What a huge snake!"

In the middle of the tree canopy, Lu Xun discovered a black snake several kilometers long.

The black snake swam back and forth in the tree canopy.

As it swam, it suddenly shifted form, turning into a man clad in black clothing.

"What a fellow!!!"

Lu Xun's gaze narrowed.

He knew which race this spirit star belonged to.

This is that unusually mysterious Yao Xing.
