Chapter 1207: Star Ring Alien Realm

The sky was like a smoky curtain, boundless and endless.

The sun and moon could not be seen, as if there were no distinction between day and night here, only three hundred and sixty emerald-colored light rings floating on the dome, like bracelets, emitting soft light.

This was a star in an unknown universe.

There were seas, land, mountains, and islands.

It was just that the sea was a liquid phosphorus fire ocean.

The land was a place of star remains transformed by cosmic dust.

The mountains were the embodiment of strange substances made of purple crystal.

As for the islands, they were not in the sea, but outside the cliffs of purple crystal mountain ranges.

Those were floating islands woven by light-eating vines at the edge of the cliffs.

The roots of these semi-transparent plants seemed capable of piercing the vacuum, drawing nutrients from the unknown, so they appeared as if they had appeared out of thin air.

Just like now, on one of the islands, a figure appeared out of thin air.

A tattered Daoist robe, disheveled long hair, a blood-stained face, a weak aura, suddenly appeared in a near-comatose state, landing on the island composed of vines.

The moment it touched, wind from an alien space-time scattered from around the figure, causing the vine island to shake violently, visibly corroding.

Finally unable to bear it, it was pierced through by the figure.

Until with a bang, the figure pierced through the island and crashed into the forest under the cliff.

This forest was large, but where the figure landed, for some reason, all the trees within a hundred feet actually disintegrated in an instant, transforming into large patches of starlight-shining powder, rising high and submerging the person who fell within.

In the powder, it could vaguely be seen that this figure was not alone; in his hand... he was still clutching someone.

Even in a coma, his hand was exceptionally forceful, clutching tightly, causing the person being clutched to also fall into a coma.

And soon, the surroundings were silent again.

The powder that had been lifted fell slowly, gathering together again, filling the emptiness of a hundred feet, making the forest complete.

The vegetation of this forest was not actually existing, but gathered from powder!

They breathed in the starlight that came from the universe and wandered between heaven and earth, seemingly following some ancient law, absorbing memories from this starlight, and re-enacting the scenes recorded in the starlight in the composed forest.

Time passed slowly.

The sky gradually began to rain.

It was just that the rain was not in the conventional sense; it was formed by hundreds of millions of phosphorus fire ghosts wandering in the thin atmosphere of this star, falling as they wandered.

Looking from afar, it was as if there were gods in the void, tearing scriptures to pieces, transforming them into pages of remnants.

These remnant pages burned between heaven and earth, emitting light that transcended the firmament, echoing with whispers of divine sounds.

"Brilliant Candle... Brilliant Candle..."

With the transmission of the whispers, from the burning radiance of the remnant pages, blurry figures gathered, gradually becoming clear.

The appearance of these figures was identical.

Their bodies were gathered by light, without distinction between male and female, overall woven from light, and even more so, twelve pairs of light wings stretched out behind them into rainbow vortices.

They formed from the firmament, walking toward all directions while whispering.

Wherever they passed, the dust of the earth rose, becoming wind sobbing, raising waves for them.

Strips of purple crystal mountain ranges resonated, emitting ancient humming sounds like Qiang flutes, playing welcoming music for them.

The liquid phosphorus fire ocean also bulged with countless gelatinous light columns, condensing into flowing stairs, dancing for them.

Even the islands composed of vines, those plants also secreted golden juice at this moment, solidifying into hexagonal crystal crystals that seemed to record the laws of the universe, and subsequently, these crystals rose into the sky one by one, as if offering tribute.

As for the forest under the island, it also disintegrated in its entirety at this moment, becoming a sandstorm, worshipping them as it rotated.

And in this sandstorm, only the person who fell lay there motionless.

But soon... the woman clutched in this person's hand had her eyelashes tremble, slowly opening her eyes.

After seeing the surroundings clearly, she was stunned for a moment, then joy appeared in her eyes, and then her gaze fell rapidly on the person beside her, appearing somewhat hesitant and wary.

So she did not act rashly, but opened her mouth toward the light shadows on the firmament that were moving away, as if wanting to transmit divine sound.

She was sealed, and her divine sense could not be scattered, but as long as she could transmit divine sound at this moment, she was confident that she could instantly attract those spirit gods.

But the moment the sound from her mouth was about to be issued... the hand clutching her neck suddenly hardened, a great force surging within, locking her neck again, making her sound unable to be transmitted at all.

The Goddess's body trembled, and she saw Xu Qing beside her, who had already opened his eyes at this moment.

She dared not struggle, remaining motionless.

Xu Qing was expressionless, also motionless.

Until the light shadows on the firmament moved away completely, and as everything around returned to normal, he looked at the Goddess, and then inhaled violently.

The Goddess was desperate, terrifying suction raging within her body, and in an instant, the source quality that had just formed in her body was sucked away, and she went limp.

And then, with a wave of Xu Qing's hand, her sound was sealed, and other seals were reinforced, finally being tied up like a bundle, and he put her away.

After doing all this, Xu Qing's divine sense scattered cautiously, observing the surroundings.

Gradually, his face was somewhat gloomy, and after a moment of silence, he spoke softly.

"Thank you."

"Young Master, no need to thank me, our relationship, why be so formal."

The Mud Fox's voice was somewhat weak, but the coquettish intent within it was still obvious.

He naturally knew why Xu Qing wanted to thank himself, because the moment he fell into this star, it was he who, after perceiving the abnormality of this place, took the initiative to scatter his own divine breath to cover for Xu Qing.

At the same time, it was also he who saw that the Goddess was not right, and at the cost of his own divine source, made Xu Qing accelerate his awakening, resolving the danger just now.

"Next, I still need you to continue to bless me."

Xu Qing said softly, and then closed his eyes to meditate, starting to heal his wounds.

He had some guesses in his heart about where this place was, but whether it was determining the location or leaving, he needed cultivation support.

So he understood that the most important thing placed before him now was to restore his cultivation.

His injuries were very heavy, whether it was the price of using the Dao treasure before, or the danger in that space turbulence, all made him extremely weak now.

But fortunately... his source quality storage was sufficient.

The reward for capturing the Goddess before was enough for him to restore his cultivation, not to mention that through the Aurora Immortal Palace, he could also absorb the continuous source quality from the God of Pain, as well as... the Goddess.

Especially the latter, for Xu Qing, whether in the past or now, seemed to be inexhaustible, and could be called a supreme treasure.

Just like this, time passed.

Half a month flashed by.

During this half month, under the Mud Fox's divine breath cover, Xu Qing absorbed source quality in this powder forest, continued to heal his wounds, and during this period, this forest wove more ancient scenes, and the firmament rained once more.

Looking at those twelve-winged light shadows, Xu Qing perceived the existence of divine intent on them.

But it seemed to be somewhat different from the gods he had seen.

!

However, before recovering to a certain cultivation level, Xu Qing did not intend to investigate in detail, so he continued to heal his wounds.

Until another ten days passed.

Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes shining brightly; his cultivation... had recovered seventy percent.

The remaining ones were the burden on his soul from using the Dao treasure, which would be more prolonged to recover.

But Xu Qing had a feeling that once fully recovered, his soul would also be tempered, becoming more refined than ever before.

"Then, let's see what kind of place this is!"

Xu Qing raised his head, essence light flashing in his eyes, and in the next instant, his divine sense, covered by the Mud Fox's divine breath, erupted abruptly, sweeping across all directions in an instant, covering the entire star, and even spreading to the starry sky.

Thick strange substances, divine fluctuations.

All of this, naturally, could not be the Fifth Star Ring.

Although he had preliminary guesses and judgments through the environment nearby when he just woke up, after truly perceiving the full range now, he still sighed in his heart.

This was a strange starry sky.

Associating with the joy after the Goddess woke up, Xu Qing finally had to determine that this was likely the Fourth Star Ring.

As for the star he was currently on...

Xu Qing's divine sense looked down; where this star existed was at the edge of a dust nebula.

The star as a whole was emerald-colored, and in its slow rotation, one could vaguely hear breathing like a living thing, rising and falling in the rock layers.

As for the surface, there was a crystal plain, where countless scale cows with bat wings existed.

Their scale armor was special, capable of resonating with the earth veins, and when they flapped their wings, they would shake off fine light spots.

Even more strangely, they possessed wisdom, had their own civilization, and formed a kingdom.

And they built temples, worshipping the gods of their tribe, offering sacrifices daily.

The appearance of that god was a glowing butterfly.

He was not a True God, only a God Platform, and Xu Qing witnessed a dying scale cow prostrating before the temple, gradually transforming into a glowing butterfly-shaped creature, merging into the temple.

And gods, here, were not just in this one place.

In an area very far from the scale cow group, there existed a vast fluorescent fungus carpet!

They sang in the wind, using mycelium to construct a huge kingdom underground, and bathed in the sky fire, burning themselves, transforming into rising blue mist.

In that mist, wandering were fog mayflies that fed on sound waves, and in their transparent abdominal cavities, one could see gods belonging to their tribe sitting cross-legged.

Humanoid existences also existed on this star.

They lived in the southwest of the star where magnetic storms were frequent, building houses on moving crystal cluster forests.

Those forests lived by devouring lightning, and the arc light erupted during division was regarded as divine punishment by these humanoid lives.

Perhaps, it was indeed divine punishment, because in Xu Qing's divine sense, he clearly perceived that within those lightning bolts, there was indeed the aura of gods gestating.

Besides this, what Xu Qing paid most attention to was the three hundred and sixty emerald-colored light rings on the firmament, which were the source of the twelve-winged light shadows... seemingly existing as ancient temples.

It was just that most of them were dim.

"No True God... it's suitable for hiding."

After a long time, Xu Qing withdrew his divine sense, and after pondering, he decided to thoroughly restore his cultivation on this star before considering leaving.

So his body flickered, disappearing into the powder forest.

When he appeared, he was already in a purple crystal mountain range, where he opened up a cave dwelling and sat cross-legged to meditate.

Time passed again.

The star outside rotated, and sky fire descended from time to time.

The scale cow's sacrifice was performed thirty times, and the tribe's god became increasingly brilliant.

The fungus carpet's singing became a requiem of burning oneself in the sky fire over and over again, causing the mist to surge like a dance in the sky.

The powder forest also constantly manifested ancient scenes, weaving with star dust.

This period of time was the scene of some unknown human civilization absorbed by them from the starlight.

In the scene, there was a white-haired cultivator, holding his wife who was about to fall, falling into madness in extreme sorrow, looking up and angrily rebuking the firmament, and then stepping into the sky, as if fighting with the Heavenly Dao!

His sound could not be transmitted, but the madness in the scene made the surroundings of the powder forest rendered into blood color.

As for Xu Qing's cultivation, it also recovered to ninety percent in this month.

And just as he was immersed in this cultivation, moving toward recovery, this day...

Within the breathing sound of the earth veins deep underground on this star, a strange sound suddenly appeared.

"God Emperor Li Zhu's edict: There is a human Immortal cultivator who has fled with the Goddess. In the Fourth Star Ring's hundreds of millions of universes, all gods who obtain this person's whereabouts will be rewarded with a hundred units of source quality; those who capture him alive will be rewarded with a God Lord's Dao treasure!"

Accompanying this sound was a terrifying divine sense, sweeping across this star in the starry sky! ===== CHAPTER 1210 =====
