Chapter 2099: The Endless Starry Sky Overlord Has Come of Age

The shattered sky was knitting back together; the storm and Lei Ting that had been ravaging the endless starry sky were dissipating, and this stretch of starry sky was returning to normal, with bright stars once more appearing in the night sky.

Vast surges of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight came rolling in, pouring into the Nine Spirit Domain and the Immortal Gate solar system's nine stars; countless mountain peaks thrust up from the earth, countless rivers emerged one after another, myriad laws were being perfected, and the spiritual veins across every region of the world underwent earth-shattering changes!

The entire Immortal Gate Nine Stars and the Nine Spirit Domain were undergoing a transformation toward a Great Thousand World-class world!

This place was becoming a sacred ground for cultivation!

Miraculous, like a wonder — mere hundreds of Minor Thousand Worlds, not even reaching Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie, leaping in a single bound toward a Great Thousand World transformation, leaving people utterly unable to fathom it, as if in a dream.

This was the True Immortal Maiden's supreme tribulation.

Using the great Dao of heaven and earth to draw upon a fraction of the endless starry sky's power, causing the world cluster she inhabited to undergo metamorphosis — a single person influencing the birth of a Great Thousand World.

This was what an endless starry sky overlord-class being was.

The True Immortal Maiden's arrival here was no longer because she was a being of the endless starry sky overlord race, bathed in the race's radiance, but because the human race possessed the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden — that was the true, well-deserved endless starry sky overlord!

This was the Immortal Dao cosmos, this was the Immortal Dao — a single grown True Immortal Maiden could lead an entire race to the absolute pinnacle of the starry sky.

"The Immortal Gate will usher in prosperity..."

Yuan and the other Immortal Gate supremes murmured.

This was not some foresight, but a fact currently unfolding.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

The True Immortal Maiden stood amid the converging flood of spiritual energy, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight; her tattered sword soul was breathing in the radiance of the four directions, recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually becoming whole, and then strands of pale-red flesh and meridians appeared within the sword soul.

These strands of flesh kept spreading and growing, gradually becoming sheets of flesh, bone, layer upon layer proliferating, slowly forming a flesh-and-blood body, meridians, dantian, pupils, and other extremely important dharma-body components for a cultivator.

In merely a few years — an extremely brief span of time — a youth in blue robes appeared between heaven and earth.

He seemed to have grown a year or two older, a little taller, his gaze slightly deeper; from the outside he was nearly back to normal.

The reason it was "nearly" was that one had to ignore the bloody, mangled Zhang Yin on his chest.

This Zhang Yin clung like a bone-eroding ulcer, damaging the very essence of his divine soul, constantly wearing away his vitality; the magic power and divine sense of the Scripture of Extinguishing Dharma Solar Immortal and the variable power of myriad dharmas Lei Ting were waging war using the flesh of his chest as the battlefield, fighting a brutal battle, grinding away flesh, grinding away divine soul; the terrifying war was still ongoing, not yet ended.

Compared with the heavenly tribulation just now, this war was taking place within the body of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden, which undoubtedly restricted the use of many destructive sword arts; one could only wear it away bit by bit like drawing silk from a cocoon, eroding the alien power of myriad dharmas little by little while preserving his own life.

This terrifying Zhang Yin could not be concealed; through one's gaze one could clearly see a patch of bloody, mangled flesh on his chest, and also the ghastly-white ribs, the incomplete heart, which beat from time to time — extremely horrifying.

"Jiang Ding, how is it?"

Yuan walked over, held his breath, and asked.

He had absolute confidence in the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden, but this was the malice of the previous generation's Human Emperor, no ordinary thing; the injury left behind could very well cause a True Immortal Maiden to die on the spot.

"No matter, a small thing."

"Just some minor injuries, that's all."

Jiang Ding laughed heartily: "Senior Yuan! I've obtained a great opportunity — this injury contains the power of myriad dharmas' laws that will let me go further on the Immortal Dao. If I can analyze it, it will be a tremendous help in continuing to refine my empirical formula for the Immortal Dao cosmos constants — no worse than measuring the Immortal Dao cosmos constants of several dozen star domains."

He was extremely optimistic, looking thoroughly pleased.

Although these injuries all over his body were truly deadly and carried many dangers, the opportunity was indeed an opportunity.

"That's good then."

"I told you — as long as you kid didn't die on the spot, there shouldn't be too big a problem."

Yuan let out a breath of relief, then said with some anger: "Clearly none of the True Immortal Maidens who crossed tribulation before this ever had the Human Emperor's will appear!"

"The Myriad Dharma Ancient Emperor is far too improper! No matter what, he was still a generation's Human Emperor, who rendered great merit to the human race; regardless of who the succeeding emperor is, as long as they are a Human Emperor, the overwhelming probability is that they would offer sacrifices to him and treat his descendants well."

"Despite all this, he still deliberately targeted a human True Immortal Maiden — truly lacking in dignity!"

"The Myriad Dharma Imperial Clan..."

The surrounding Immortal Gate supremes had icy gazes.

"Haha!"

"This is a good thing."

Jiang Ding, however, was not angry; he smiled and said: "This Human Emperor targeting me like this means he thinks highly of me — it shows that in his eyes, my threat is greater than that of an alien supreme."

"That does give me confidence."

"After all, he's an old senior. In the future, when I slay the Myriad Dharma Son, I'll repay him just a little — no need to be too harsh."

He was exceedingly magnanimous.

The surrounding heaven and earth's spiritual energy surged in, forming a sheet of cloth over the blue-robed youth's chest, covering the bloody Zhang Yin — after all, it wasn't very pleasant to look at, rather frightening.

Hiss!

Sword qi and the power of Myriad Dharma Lei Ting erupted, instantly tearing the cloth apart, and the bloody, mangled Zhang Yin was exposed once more.

The surrounding supremes' expressions changed.

This injury looked simple, but in fact contained terrifying might that made one's heart pound; if even a sliver of it leaked out, it could probably easily slay even a supreme.

"Forget it."

"If it doesn't look good, then it doesn't look good."

Jiang Ding shook his head, no longer paying attention to his chest, and looked at the many Immortal Gate supremes and Immortal Gate Heaven-Humans before him.

"Congratulations!

"Congratulations to the Great Sun Censor on ascending to Supreme!"

The many Immortal Gate cultivators bowed deeply and shouted loudly.

This was an ancient tradition of the Immortal Gate — offering congratulations to a newly born Immortal Gate cultivator; generation after generation it had been passed down this way.

"Same to you, same to you."

"Everyone, please sit — no need to be too nervous, just chat about everyday matters at your leisure."

Jiang Ding said with a smile.

"Thank you, Great Sun Censor!"

The surrounding Immortal Gate cultivators did not stand on ceremony either, and did not produce any stools; they simply sat on the ground in this stretch of starry sky, circle after circle, like students during military training.

"This time, I have overcome the Supreme Tribulation, and gained many new insights into the Immortal Dao."

"Which I can share with everyone."

Jiang Ding spoke: "I have already calculated the Immortal Dao universal constant empirical formula, and can solidify it into weaker instruments, machines, warships, and the like, to push forward the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao industrial technology level, allowing the Immortal Gate to leap toward the level of an Endless Starfield Human Sovereign faction."

A solidified Immortal Dao universal constant empirical formula!

The hearts of the many Immortal Gate Supremes trembled, and wild joy appeared on their faces.

"In traditional Sovereign factions, this kind of solidified Immortal Dao universal constant empirical formula is embodied in military formation heavy weapons, in mountain-gate grand arrays, in military formations, and the like. Factions possessing a True Immortal will expand and grow stronger at extreme speed, even if the True Immortal herself does not take action."

"For the Immortal Gate, we can use the solidified Immortal Dao universal constant formula to drive advancement in metallurgy, artifact-forging, agriculture, pill-refining, warship construction, and every other direction, causing the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao productive forces to erupt in a great explosion."

"Everyone will be very wealthy from now on, because the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao industrial system's productive forces will exhibit continuous doubling growth, even if we remain forever confined to the Seven Great Star Domains."

"This is the benefit that Immortal Dao technological development brings to the mortal world…"

Jiang Ding's voice flowed like water, casual as everyday talk, chatting freely with the Immortal Gate citizens.
