Chapter 1244

At this moment, within the Fourth Star Ring, the rift that was originally one of the four great forbidden zones collapsed completely.

Everything within it ceased to exist.

It became a piece of nothingness.

Its concept of 'existence' was stripped away and shattered.

Even the turbulence of time and space was included, becoming a part of the nothingness.

Like an unchangeable fixed number.

Existing there eternally.

And in the outside world, whether it was the Immortal Venerables located in the Fourth Star Ring or the God Venerables of other star rings, the perception from these supreme beings at this moment was uniformly locked onto another area.

Extremely heavy.

The place they were looking at was the starry sky of the Fourth Star Ring near the Third Star Ring.

That starry sky was rippling.

It was as if an existence that could not be perceived without the status of a God Venerable was currently merging into that starry sky, moving forward in an incredible way.

This scene was invisible to the lives living in that starry sky, nor could they perceive it in the slightest.

Because that was something they could not understand.

Even the gods hiding there were the same.

That special way of existence exceeded the limits of their cognition.

It was as if it were just an abstract concept.

This concept... was precisely the Old God Venerable who had escaped from the rift!

Its body covered the starry sky, its thought transcended time and space.

Its existence became a part of all things, so its speed could not be concretized either.

And it was fleeing.

Wherever it passed, it stirred up a storm that permeated the entire star ring; countless bizarre lives were born in that storm, only to die in the next instant, becoming the beginning and the end, becoming destiny.

Becoming a part of the concept, and also becoming the power for its forward movement.

Making it constantly approach the Third Star Ring.

Only, its thoughts were rippling.

Because it knew very well that God Venerables were completely different from one another; even though the Upper Desolation there clearly had extremely severe injuries, possessing a half-step god status already made it the absolute peak of the Upper Rings.

Every move would cause all God Venerables to palpitate.

Irresistible!

Not to mention, it was extremely clear that its current self was also not in its peak state.

Back then, due to a struggle for divine power, it had lost to the Fourth Star Ring God Venerable of this generation, been suppressed by it for countless years, continuously sealed, and continuously weakened; it was now extremely feeble.

In such a state, facing the half-step god Upper Desolation, it had no other choice but to flee.

"The divine umbilical cord cannot be opened for me..."

"The only path currently before me seems to be heading to other star rings, borrowing the divine breath of other star rings to contain my concept, and then hiding!"

"However, the Fifth Star Ring is permeated with immortal spirits, which is not suitable for the entry of divine power concepts."

In this concept merged into the starry sky, the Old God Venerable's divine thoughts rose and fell.

After the Upper Desolation descended, all karma collapsed, countless concealments were revealed, and this also included traces of pushing from external forces.

This caused its omniscience, within this shattered karma, to gradually complete the missing information.

The moment it was completely filled in, the Old God Venerable laughed.

"That Immortal Venerable... in terms of plotting, he surpasses the gods; he is indeed worthy of being the only one in history to become a Venerable through immortality!"

"His plan from the beginning included me... first combining the thought of the Life Map, borrowing karma to drive the Life Map God Venerable, making it willing to sacrifice everything to enter the divine umbilical cord."

And then he lured the Upper Desolation to drive me away... the purpose was to make me enter the Third Star Ring, thereby paving the way for his next thought."

"He calculated that I would go to the Third Star Ring, because there, I would have a glimmer of survival."

"He also calculated that I could not enter the Fifth Star Ring... because there, I would definitely die!"

"Step by step, ring by ring; as for the origin, it is those two people who are themselves the karma of the Upper Desolation!"

In that concept, the Old God Venerable's divine thoughts fluctuated violently.

Laughter gradually rippled within that concept.

"However, Immortal Venerable, you have used the Upper Desolation again and again; even if there is a layer of separation, making the contamination of karma minimal, but... do I really have no other choice!"

The next instant, a scene that shocked all observing existences erupted within this concept.

The Old God Venerable actually changed its direction, instantly reversing its own concept, and appeared in... another direction of the Fourth Star Ring!

There, it was infinitely close to the Fifth Star Ring!

This scene immediately triggered vibrations in other star rings.

"Treating me as a chess piece..."

The moment the concept spread to the boundary in an indescribable way and invaded the Fifth Star Ring, the Old God Venerable's divine thoughts spread throughout the entire Upper Thirty-Six Star Rings.

"This Venerable is a congenital god, noble throughout life, having slaughtered countless, reaching the status of God Venerable, looking toward the path of godhood..."

As the divine thoughts echoed, all God Venerables felt their minds churning, and the concept transformed by the Old God Venerable also, at this moment, truly entered the Fifth Star Ring.

The existence of immortal spirit energy emitted intense struggle due to its arrival, turning into ripples; amidst this repulsion, the concept changed from invisible to visible.

Causing the Old God Venerable's concealment to show flaws, revealing its terrifying figure.

That was a giant existence covered in stars from head to toe; as countless tentacles swayed, stars were born, and stars died.

It was as if its existence was inherently a part of the star ring's operation.

And its voice was still echoing.

"Those who calculate against me in this life will find it hard to escape the fixed number."

"The Life Map is like this, and you..."

These divine thoughts, in the hearts of the living beings of the Fifth Star Ring, were like the roar of heavenly sounds, like the explosion of infinite thunder, causing the living beings to wail and all things to wither.

And it itself, amidst the spread of these divine thoughts, actually chose to actively lift its own concealment, making its form more complete and more clearly revealed in the Fifth Star Ring.

Causing the Fifth Star Ring's destiny to emit ripples that were difficult to bear, while countless universes and stars trembled at this moment, as if they had been contained to the limit.

And after lifting its own concealment, the Old God Venerable standing in the Fifth Star Ring had traces of its existence shining like an earth-shattering star.

Attracting endless eyes.

And also attracting its pursuer.

So the next instant, in the void behind its main body, a gilded pupil appeared abruptly!

Reflecting all living beings and things within, containing infinite universes, it was vast to the extreme, and also full of holiness and inviolability.

It was precisely the Eye of the Upper Desolation!

The moment it appeared in the Fifth Star Ring, the entire Fifth Star Ring, all cultivators, felt their minds roar.

One by one, they felt inexplicably terrified, with constant palpitations, and their flesh and blood showed signs of distortion.

The terror that had occurred on the Wanggu Continent appeared in the Fifth Star Ring.

As all living beings changed color, the Eye of the Upper Desolation fixed its gaze on the Old God Venerable in front!

And the Old God Venerable, at this moment, did not care at all; its eyes were indifferent, its expression resolute, and its divine thoughts surged to the sky in this instant, merging its own will into it, turning into words that shocked the immortals!

"No existence can treat me as a chess piece!"

"If you use me as a chess piece, then... the chessboard will collapse!"

As the Old God Venerable spoke, it turned around abruptly, actually facing the Eye of the Upper Desolation directly.

Letting signs of dissolution appear on itself under the gaze of the Upper Desolation, without dodging in the slightest!

Only its divine thoughts roared upward!

"Immortal Venerable, this Venerable abandons the vitality of the Third Star Ring, choosing to use my death to let the aura of the Upper Desolation remain eternally in your Fifth Star Ring!"

The moment the intent of disdain spread from its words, the Old God Venerable's godhead expanded violently, turning into countless concepts, becoming a path of guidance.

And the next instant, the gaze of the Upper Desolation completely shrouded its figure, and even followed the path formed by its concept, spreading toward the starry sky in all directions in an instant.

The scope was so large that it covered nearly thirty percent of the entire Fifth Star Ring!

And then, a scene that shocked all living beings and gods appeared.
