Chapter 1229: God Venerable

God Venerable.

The supreme existence within this Fourth Star Ring.

After a long silence, at this very moment, He finally walked slowly out from the God Court where He resided.

The starlight halo began to twist, and countless rainbow-colored electric arcs appeared out of thin air, weaving into a grand staircase in the void, which automatically floated beneath His feet.

He allowed His footsteps to land upon it, walking forward step by step.

And with every step that fell, the starry sky would reveal patterns like cracked porcelain; within those fissures, one could see illusory scenes.

In some scenes, all things began to grow in reverse: towering ancient trees shrank back into seeds, and primeval life retreated back into an embryonic state.

In other scenes, stars began to wither until they perished, bursting with brilliant, scorching intensity, illuminating the starry sky with a textured luster.

These scenes fully displayed His venerability.

And the entire Fourth Star Ring was also affected.

Some fragile life forms had their bodies burst open directly, blooming like lotus flowers, their brains turning into rainbow bridges leading straight to the sky.

All temples emitted earth-shaking humming sounds, unable to withstand the supreme divinity, undergoing an instinctive transformation, beginning to become transparent, gradually converting into shimmering divine substance.

Even the star orbits that flowed between day and night solidified into crystals.

Furthermore, the most ancient creatures hidden in the deepest layers within the cracks of time also curled up their tentacles toward the direction of the God Court, trembling to the extreme.

As for those God Lords, they also lowered their noble heads toward the God Court at this moment.

These were all acts of worship!

At this moment, all gods were watching!

Until, as that Supreme One walked down step by step, His vast, unfathomable body—which all living things could not fully perceive with their own senses—finally appeared in the starry sky.

That body was shockingly composed of thirty trillion overlapping shadows!

The outermost layer was a misty outline flowing with galaxy debris; the inward-collapsing light spots gradually condensed into a humanoid silhouette, yet at the moment of taking shape, it burst into billions of stars.

Anyone who attempted to look directly at His face could only see a constantly collapsing nebula vortex, and within every fold, it seemed that the cycle of birth and annihilation was hidden.

Inside, it was filled with energy turbulence that tore through dimensional rifts.

Occasionally, flowing light scattered outward, turning into stardust that fell into patches of the mortal world, becoming divine light stretching for billions of miles in the lands where those God Clans resided.

Under the illumination of this light, the flowing wind on the stars instantly solidified, and countless cloud layers turned into dark-colored glaze inlaid with gold edges; at the same time, the divine artifacts belonging to the gods themselves also exuded dark golden liquid at this moment!

Emitting wails.

These divine artifacts, which should have been eternal and immortal, actually began to undergo reverse decay under the divine might.

This is God Venerable!

And the divine sound that echoed throughout the entire star ring was the divine oracle that influenced all living things.

"Divine umbilical cord, boundless end... finally opened!

This path was indeed hidden in the depths of the Divine Dao..."

This sound did not echo in the ears of the gods, but resonated deep within their bone marrow like the booming of chime bells!

Because all language lost its meaning the moment the divine oracle descended.

All living things, and even the gods themselves, were now receiving a change in rules directly branded onto the source of their souls.

Subsequently... it began to collapse.

Because there were eight words inside that were a great taboo!

And these influences on the outside world were not even intentional acts by God Venerable.

This was merely the most trivial aftermath of His arrival, merely the ripples of His own dissipation, and merely a single sentence He spoke afterward.

It had already caused the entire Fourth Star Ring to have a tendency to transform into strange creations.

Whether it was a True God or a God Lord... even that coffin in the deep space forbidden zone... was silent at this moment.

Floating in the vortex of divine rune iron chains.

And God Venerable Himself, from beginning to end, only focused on the old man in straw sandals standing in front of Him.

"I did not stop you on this journey, and now... do you wish to block?"

God Venerable's gaze fell upon the old man.

A trance appeared in the old man's eyes as he sensed the opened star gate outside the place where the original mother star existed.

Subsequently... he shook his head.

God Venerable spoke no more and raised His left hand.

What appeared in His palm was neither the sun and moon nor chaos, but a certain "concept of existence" that transcended material form.

Countless pupil-like light wheels flickered within it.

Each light wheel reflected the rise and fall of completely different civilizations.

That was His supreme divine status, which could not be understood by those of a non-equivalent rank!

Gazing at His palm, God Venerable slowly closed His left hand and then took a step forward.

With this step, His vast body crossed the infinite and appeared outside the original mother star.

There, He did not even look at the original mother star; in His eyes, there was only... that opened star gate and the gray world within it.

Without hesitation, this was the only opportunity He had waited countless ages for!

Thus, He stepped into the star gate!

To pursue... the path of the gods!

And as His majestic body and terrifying status entered the star gate, the star gate immediately began to roar, as if it could not support Him.

There was even a struggle from the Divine Dao of the Fourth Star Ring.

But it was to no avail, because the gate... had already opened!

So in the next instant, God Venerable's figure forcibly broke in, entered completely, and rushed toward the haze in the depths of that gray world!

As for the star gate, under this violent intrusion, it shattered into pieces and collapsed.

Echoing along with the sound of its collapse was the mournful cry of the Fourth Star Ring's Divine Dao.

The Divine Dao, declining!

It was just that previously, the iron chains composed of star gate symbols had already extended outward, so although the star gate collapsed at this moment and the internal chains shattered, a section on the outside still... fell toward the original mother star.

It instantly pierced through all the void, and even the destiny of the Fifth Star Ring could not block it; it was broken through directly, appearing in the sky of the original mother star.

Like a giant snake devouring the world, it rushed suddenly toward the Aurora Young Master below!

This was an accident!

And the pressure from this section of the iron chain made the original mother star tremble, the sky shattered completely, and Xu Qing and Fairy Linghuang felt their minds roaring.

That was not divine might, nor was it the Immortal Dao.

That was something transformed by a more ancient mystery, exceeding the scope of cognition.

Like a catastrophe.

Aurora Young Master fell into a crisis.

!

"The Immortal Dao values life, the Divine Dao values death; just right to use your power to accelerate the stripping of my divine status!"

Under this intense catastrophe, Aurora Young Master's eyes revealed decisiveness; as he muttered, he raised his right hand and reached directly into his eyes.

Pulling outward, he actually dragged out the golden light from his eyes and snapped it in his palm!

Blood flowed like a river from his eye sockets.

Afterward, he did not hesitate at all, using the Dao bones currently transforming within his body to find the... true Constitution that belonged to him, which was born in his childhood!

That was the Mirror Constitution!

Then, he used this most primitive Constitution of his to replace his lost eyes.

Thus, in the next instant, light appeared in his eyes once again!

His eyes, revived!

The pupils of these eyes contained mirrors, reflecting the long river of destiny in all directions of the sky wherever he looked.

As if rising within himself!

Causing the long river of destiny to pour completely into his body.

Amidst the roaring, the power of destiny intertwined internally and externally, superimposing upon each other!

Causing an earth-shaking power to erupt from Aurora Young Master, completely merging with the destiny of the Fifth Star Ring; in the instant they became indistinguishable, his voice echoed.

"Xu Qing, I'll give you a gift; do you dare to take it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing's eyes revealed a strange light.

He had already guessed in his heart what the gift Aurora Young Master was talking about!

There was only one gift that Aurora Young Master could not touch after changing from a god to an immortal!

That was... the Fate Divine Authority that Aurora Young Master had plundered from the God Venerable of the Fourth Star Ring during the process of becoming a God Lord!

And the reason Xu Qing could guess a little was because he knew the significance of being sent here by the Immortal Venerable!

Thus, his mind shook violently, his breathing became rapid, and he transmitted a decisive voice.

"Naturally, I dare to take it!"

Others dared not accommodate the karma of the Upper Desolation, but Xu Qing himself already had deep karma with the Upper Desolation.

His divine avatar was molded using the flesh and blood of the Upper Desolation.

Although all this was stolen by the Eldest Brother, and the latter was used by his Master in ignorance.

However, the fact was already so, so what did it matter to take the divine authority as well.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's eyes revealed a strong light.

And in the sky, Aurora Young Master laughed loudly upon hearing Xu Qing's reply.

He raised his right hand and grabbed toward the sky; immediately, the destiny of the Fifth Star Ring was condensed in his hand through his internal and external guidance... turning into a blade of destiny!

Then, using the vibration of his internal Dao bones as force, using the intertwining of his God Lord and Immortal Lord levels as energy, and using the divine attraction from the divine calamity as a tether, he brandished the long blade of destiny toward the incoming rune iron chain...

And slashed with one strike!

As this strike fell, cracks appeared in the destiny line of the entire Fourth Star Ring, and the light and shadow of the future and past intertwined into a blood-colored waterfall.

The Fifth Star Ring also rippled, and all living things resonated.

Accompanying the long blade, it collided with the iron chain...

The sound of heaven and earth splitting exploded on the original mother star at this moment, affecting the memory sea where it was located.

Stirring up monstrous waves.

The iron chain shook!

Aurora Young Master also shook violently, retreating; inside his body, it was as if ten thousand universes had exploded, his physical body was torn with countless wounds, and divine blood flew in the sky like red ice crystals.

Every ice crystal reflected his projection of transforming from an immortal to a god.

And these ice crystals were melting rapidly under the collision between destiny and the iron chain.

Forming chaotic water that reshaped the foundation of the Immortal Dao, surging toward Aurora Young Master.

The moment it injected into his dantian, his original divine sea began to collapse and reorganize, the divine status deposited at the bottom of the sea suddenly rose, and countless threads could be seen connecting to Aurora Young Master.

It was resisting this incoming external force!

Those threads were karma!

"Still not enough!!"

Aurora Young Master spat out blood mixed with gold and silver; seeing the threads were endless, his expression was ferocious.

His pupils also revealed the pattern of yin and yang fish at this moment.

The left eye was the divine status surrounded by karma lines, rising and falling with the laws of the Fourth Star Ring that were collapsing.

The right eye was the vortex of newborn immortal essence, reflecting all living things of the Fifth Star Ring.

His body leaped, rushing again toward the rune iron chain that was falling again!
