Chapter 204: Starry Mystery, Starry Dao Body

"One method?" Ye Tian sneered, "It should be two methods, right? You tricked me into coming over; isn't that one method?"

The Phoenix Clan woman gave an awkward smile, but quickly straightened her expression and said, "Let's not talk about the past; I should tell you about this method instead."

"This restriction is mainly for trapping people. Even if a Saint Realm expert is trapped inside, they cannot move, and the more they struggle, the faster their energy is absorbed. The only way to break it is from the outside. Of course, you cannot attack with full force, otherwise the attack power will be transmitted to me, and by then, the restriction won't be broken, but I will be killed!"

"After my continuous research, I discovered that this restriction still has loopholes. I will resist with all my might from the inside; the restriction will absorb my energy, which will cause its resistance to the outside to weaken significantly, and it will create individual nodal flaws. If you attack those restriction nodes, you can destroy the Array. Of course, your attack power must be sufficiently strong. I am not sure if your attack power meets the standard; if it does not, I hope you can go out and notify the Phoenix Clan to save me."

The Phoenix Clan woman said as much.

"Fine!"

Ye Tian agreed.

Subsequently, the Phoenix Clan woman informed Ye Tian of the locations of those few nodes and began to resist inside the restriction.

Boom!!!!

The Phoenix Clan woman struggled with all her might, but the restriction seemed to have turned into straws inserted into her body, which were currently draining the energy within her, causing her aura to continuously drop.

"Now is the time, attack quickly!"

Ye Tian made his move.

Whoosh!!!!

The Sword Realm attacked, landing accurately upon those very nodes.

"Break!"

After those few nodes were struck by Ye Tian's attack, they shattered, causing the entire restriction to begin cracking.

"Such a powerful attack!"

The Phoenix Clan woman was astonished.

She had originally thought that Ye Tian might not necessarily be able to help her successfully escape, but she had to try; if it really didn't work, letting Ye Tian go to notify the Phoenix Clan would also suffice.

However, the Phoenix Clan might not come to save her immediately; this would require a top-tier Heavenly King Realm expert to risk entering the Mingdu Mountain Ruins!

Moreover, even if she were rescued, she reckoned she would have lost face!

Therefore, she still hoped to be able to escape on her own without relying on the Phoenix Clan.

Very quickly.

Crack!

The restriction was completely broken, and the Phoenix Clan woman transformed into a streak of firelight and rushed out.

"Hahaha, finally out!"

The Phoenix Clan woman said excitedly.

After coming out, she immediately took out various precious resources and stuffed them into her mouth, then refined the resources to restore her strength.

One hour later, the Phoenix Clan woman had mostly recovered.

"Should you tell me where that Top-tier Dao Body is now?"

Ye Tian asked.

The Phoenix Clan woman said, "That place is a bit far from here, and the inner area of the Mingdu Mountain Ruins is constantly changing, so it's hard to say, but I have a way to find it again."

"Then take me there!"

Ye Tian urged.

Immediately, they set off to travel to the place of the Top-tier Dao Body inheritance.

On the way, they conversed a little and also learned each other's names.

The Phoenix Clan woman was called Feng Douling. According to Feng Douling, she had accidentally found that Top-tier Dao Body inheritance before, but she had not passed the assessment, so she had not obtained that Top-tier Dao Body.

More than three hours later, Feng Douling finally found that place of the Top-tier Dao Body inheritance.

"It's right here!"

Feng Douling pointed at a palace embedded into the mountain in front of them and said, "That place of the top-tier inheritance is right here!"

"Let's go in together!"

Ye Tian said.

He was afraid there might be danger inside and that Feng Douling might be intentionally setting him up.

The inheritance was likely truly here, but Feng Douling might hide other information, so it was better to go in together.

"Afraid I'll harm you? I'm not that bored." Feng Douling took the lead to go in, and Ye Tian followed her inside.

Deep within the palace.

Very quickly, they saw a Demon God Statue.

This Demon God Statue was extremely massive, and one hand was extended, as if it were about to grasp something.

"If we stand in the palm of this hand, we can trigger the inheritance assessment!"

Feng Douling reminded him.

"Let's go up together!"

Ye Tian said.

Whoosh!

The two of them went up together and stood steadily in the palm of this hand.

In an instant, it was as if the heavens and earth changed; they arrived amidst a starry sky.

At this moment.

A hand appeared in the starry sky; the enormous palm covered the starry sky and grabbed a Star with a single hand.

Crack!

The scene of the Star being crushed appeared.

This visual effect was simply too spectacular, leaving Ye Tian secretly astonished.

He wondered if a person could truly become strong enough to crush Stars with a single hand; ordinary True Gods likely could not, otherwise Earth certainly could not withstand such a True God, and the world's rules would not be able to bear it either.

Of course, he did not want this scene to be real; it was most likely just a simulation.

"Examinee, will you participate in the Star Dao Body assessment?"

A mechanical voice came through.

"Star Dao Body!"

Information about this Dao Body surfaced in Ye Tian's mind.

The Star Dao Body is a Dao Body ranked seventeenth on the Underground World Dao Body Ranking; it is extremely formidable and possesses a terrifying ability: by stepping on the ground, one can draw upon the power of the Stars to restore oneself.

It can be said that a powerhouse with the Star Dao Body can fight a protracted battle, and their power is almost inexhaustible.

Of course.

The Star Dao Body also provides a terrifying boost to physical strength and defense; in certain special environments, the Star Dao Body is not inferior to the other Dao Bodies in the Top Ten.

"I will participate in the Star Dao Body assessment!"

Ye Tian shouted.

At this moment, he could no longer see Feng Douling.

He reckoned that Feng Douling had already participated in the assessment and, having failed previously, could not participate again.

……

At this time.

Feng Douling had already come down from the palm; she indeed had no way to participate in a second assessment.

"This human's strength is not bad, but he should also be unable to pass the Star Dao Body assessment. This assessment requires comprehending the Star Profound Meaning, and one can only participate once; the difficulty is too high!" Feng Douling thought to herself.

She did not leave but waited here; she really wanted to know if Ye Tian had passed the assessment.

Assessment space.

A Star map appeared before Ye Tian, covered with Stars; although they were not real Stars, they contained various mysteries of the Stars.

"Please comprehend the Star Profound Meaning!"

"Task time: one month!"

Comprehending the Star Profound Meaning in one month was not difficult for Ye Tian; he did not need nearly that long.

"The Star Profound Meaning can only be comprehended by fusing Earth Artistic Conception, Light Intent, and Metal Intent. If one were to study it blindly without the guidance of a Star map or the inheritance of the Star Dao Body, it would indeed be very difficult to comprehend, but now with the Star map's guidance, one can quickly comprehend the Star Profound Meaning."

Immediately.

Ye Tian began to have all nine of his souls study the Star Profound Meaning, having the three Artistic Conceptions fuse according to the path of the Star Profound Meaning, attempting it step by step to comprehend the Star Profound Meaning.

Time passed day by day.

On the third day, with the help of his Great Divine Ability-level Enlightenment Technique, he successfully comprehended the Star Profound Meaning.

Boom!!!!

The aura of the Star Profound Meaning permeated the space, and the assessment was passed.

"Congratulations on passing the assessment; please receive the Star Dao Body inheritance!"

Hum!

A beam of light descended, and the Star Dao Body inheritance began.
