Chapter 1276

Inside was abnormally cold, cold and dark.

However, during this period, due to some ancient Fourth-Level Zunzhu deliberately spreading rumors of the Ancient Gods' threat, several Heavenly Realm deities had learned the origin of the Dark Starry Sky.

But now, these deities suddenly saw a shining star hurtling down from the Dark Starry Sky!

This star was not just large—it was extraordinarily bright.

"Ancient God! This is surely an Ancient God!"

At that moment, one Heavenly Realm deity cried out!

Ancient God!

His words shocked every single Heavenly Realm deity!

"The previous Four-Star Ancient God, Dalong Dazun, was already as large as a shattered star— if this star truly is an Ancient God, what realm would it be?"

One deity murmured involuntarily.

As he asked this question, he already knew the answer.

Such a colossal Ancient God—only a Five-Star Ancient God could match it!

Five-Star Ancient God!

The moment those four characters crossed his mind, the deity felt a suffocating dread.

Not just him.

The hearts of the hidden Law Lords also grew utterly Solemn!

For Law Lords who also sought to control the Flame Law, now, to prevent Lin Yan from becoming a Main God, they would spare no means.

But that did not mean the Law Lords who acted had strong ties among themselves.

Once any one of them began to challenge for Main God status, the other Law Lords aiming to control the same Law would instantly become their enemies!

Law Lords not seeking to control the same Law would not intervene at all—merely watch the spectacle.

But a Five-Star Ancient God was the common enemy of every Law Lord attempting to challenge for Main God status!

The greatest enemy!

Thus, even Law Lords who had no interest in the Flame Law and no conflict with Lin Yan all sharpened their focus.

Especially those Law Lords who had lain hidden in the Heavenly Realm for countless eons.

Some Law Lords secretly hoped the Flame Main God would slaughter wildly and slay this Five-Star Ancient God.

That way, when they challenged for Main God status, they would have one less major obstacle.

Whether Lin Yan could become Flame Main God mattered little to them—they had no intention of controlling the Flame Law anyway.

The Law Lords who had conflicts with Lin Yan held a different view.

Even if this Five-Star Ancient God appeared, as long as it attacked Lin Yan, that was enough.

They would still kick him while he was down.

Even if this Five-Star Ancient God later turned on them, they would still stop Lin Yan.

Because if they didn't stop him, Lin Yan might very well succeed!

The threat of the Five-Star Ancient God lay in the future.

But Lin Yan's threat lay in the present!

The appearance of this Five-Star Ancient God stirred massive unrest among the ordinary deities watching, and stirred wildly divergent thoughts among the Law Lords.

"If you could grow stronger, fight this Five-Star Ancient God to a standstill, I wouldn't mind lending you a hand and letting you slay this Five-Star Ancient God."

In one divine realm, an aged deity, through his divine system's deities, cast his gaze downward, saw the Five-Star Ancient God's movements, and muttered in a low voice.

The emergence of this Five-Star Ancient God, hidden in the Heavenly Realm for countless eons, had dredged up some extraordinarily ancient beings.

These beings held divergent intentions.

But none of them were confident they could face this Five-Star Ancient God alone.

Some among them were even stronger than the Lord of the Seven Seas.

Yet even so, they still had little confidence against a Five-Star Ancient God.

Mainly because Five-Star Ancient Gods were incredibly hard to kill.

Their entire bodies were covered in divine skin.

Even their bones were divine bones.

Moreover, a Five-Star Ancient God's divine skin was not just one layer—it was many layers, stronger than a Four-Star Ancient God by more than ten thousandfold.

Also, the number of stars a Five-Star Ancient God had devoured in the past was not ordinary.

To become a Five-Star Ancient God, the number of stars devoured was not counted in hundreds, not in thousands, not even in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

It was counted in star rivers!

Only by devouring all the stars within an entire star river could one possibly ignite the fifth star on the forehead.

And to make that fifth star shine brightest, one must devour even more star rivers.

To become the strongest Five-Star Ancient God, one must also devour certain special, colossal stars.

In ancient times, such stars were not small.

Each Five-Star Ancient God carried the energy of countless stars.

And this energy was condensed to its absolute extreme.

It granted them unimaginably powerful offensive strength.

Moreover, their weapons had already drawn close to Main God artifacts.

Precisely because Five-Star Ancient Gods were so powerful, countless Law Lords in the Heavenly Realm turned pale at the very mention of them.

Countless Law Lords aspiring to become Main Gods longed to exterminate the Ancient Gods.

Yet these Law Lords had never united to exterminate the Five-Star Ancient Gods.

The Masters of the Dao are all clever; they know the Five-Star Ancient Gods are merely the gods' knives, not easily exterminated.

Moreover, the Five-Star Ancient Gods hide well and rarely emerge under normal circumstances.

Didn't you see how Lin Yan killed the Four-Star Ancient God, Dragon Great Venerable? Yet the Five-Star Ancient Gods showed not the slightest reaction?

Thus, this appearance of the Five-Star Ancient Gods stirred thoughts in some of the more calculating Masters of the Dao.

Some Masters of the Dao prepared to act as the situation demanded, "helping" Lin Yan by enabling him to slay the Five-Star Ancient God.

The Five-Star Ancient Gods are the gods' knives; what these calculating Masters of the Dao fear most is not the Five-Star Ancient Gods themselves, but the gods — so they will not kill the Five-Star Ancient Gods.

But they intend to "help" Lin Yan, letting him do the killing.

That way, if any god is displeased, it will be directed at Lin Yan.

Moreover, these Masters of the Dao, who have no intention of mastering the Flame Dao, actually hope Lin Yan becomes a god.

That would mean breaking the ice!

Where there is one, there will be two.

Once Lin Yan becomes a god, they too will have their chance!

After the Five-Star Ancient God appeared, countless supreme deities across the Even the Heavenly Realm began secretly plotting.

All hidden supreme Masters of the Dao focused their gaze on the Five-Star Ancient God and the flame of the Spirit Divine Realm, planning their next moves based on the battle between the Flame Master and the Five-Star Ancient God!

This world is like this — you can never stop others from harboring designs or conspiracies against you.

But you can ignore them.

You have your own plans.

I have my own rhythm.

As long as your strength is sufficient, you can completely disregard all of your enemies' schemes and conspiracies.

Break the deadlock with strength!

Not by slowly playing schemes and counterbalances with them.

That is not Lin Yan's preferred rhythm.

Lin Yan prefers to control everything by his own rhythm!

High above the Even the Heavenly Realm, that star was moving too fast.

From its appearance to its approach, it took less than a minute.

Its size was also growing larger.

To the naked eye, when it first appeared, it was no bigger than a pancake — but now, it had blotted out the sky and sun, completely obscuring the Even the Heavenly Realm's sun.

And after that minute passed, the star's speed had reached its absolute peak!

Never underestimate any form of kinetic energy.

Even in the realm of deities, using kinetic energy as a weapon remains a potent method.
