Chapter 39: Vast Desolate Heaven, Shura Sky Domain

Leaving that Dead Silence barren Star Domain, Ye Wuque continued northward.

The Six-Winged Holy Eagle darted through the glittering Star River, and about a day later, the scene before his eyes cleared.

The stars grew dense and prosperous, massive living Ancient Stars floated, exuding a mighty vitality.

In the starry sky, one could see everywhere radiant flying artifacts, magnificent carriages pulled by huge Starry Sky Giant Beasts, and streams of Dark Cultivator silhouettes with strong, forceful auras weaving through.

In the distance, one could even see massive continents floating in the starry sky, celestial palace towers, and a huge array of formation light curtains enveloping the entire Star Domain.

An aura of prosperity, flourishing and vastness far beyond Ten Lands rushed upon him.

Ye Wuque restrained his aura, blending into the flowing crowd.

He slowed his pace, strolling through the starry sky, feeling the splendor and perfected laws of the Nine Heavens world, while introspecting himself, honing his cultivation that grew ever more harmonious and surging due to the changing environment.

Having experienced the fates of the Primordial Imperial Tomb and successive great battles, and having received the complete laws of the Nine Heavens and abundant primordial Qi nourishment, his current state has already risen to an unprecedented pinnacle!

Within the Saint King Realm, he has reached the legendary Ninety-nine Divine Springs, that is, the realm of the Ten-step Saint King!

All around him, Divine Apertures thundered; each Divine Spring was like a glittering Star River, supplying boundless Divine Power.

Undying Indestructible Divine King Art advanced further, with the number of Divine Apertures opened within his body reaching two hundred and eighty!

The Flesh treasure was further developed, Qi and blood surged like the Primordial Star River flowing, and pure power could tear stars apart with bare hands.

Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body firmly resides in the seventh transformation, the "Extreme Overlord Vast Yang" realm; once activated, the body becomes Vast Yang, supremely firm and radiant, impervious to all laws, with all evils retreating, and the Flesh's strength comparable to Immortal Divine Weapon.

The Nine Nine Return to One True Self Great Immortal Technique also refined to the seventh transformation, achieving a brand‑new height in controlling, evolving, and amplifying his own power.

The others, such as Three Heads Six Arms Great Divine Ability, Swallow Heaven Destroy Earth Seven Limits, Nine Heavens Sacred Lotus, Nameless Sword Technique and other mighty divine abilities, also rose with his elevated realm and deeper insight, their potency swelling like rising water, becoming more effortless to wield, and their power incomparable.

Overall, Ye Wuque felt his true combat strength firmly stood at the pinnacle of the first great realm on the Immortal Path, the "Ascending Immortal Staircase"!

Moreover, with numerous Reverse Heaven Divine Skills and his formidable Flesh, perhaps… he could even glimpse the edge of the next great realm?

Like the previously slain Fate Sect Leader Changming, Golden-Winged Great Peng clan Hun Dan, and the Ye Clan's Ye Tianquan and their ilk, whose true combat strength was roughly in the later stage of the "Ascending Immortal Staircase", there is now a clear gap compared to him.

Traveling northward, crossing countless prosperous Star Domains and living Ancient lands, Ye Wuque gained a deeper understanding of the vastness of the Nine Heavens world.

Here lies the Shura Sky Domain of the Vast Desolate Heaven, one of the Nine Heavens.

The Nine Heavens are truly the world that stands at the pinnacle among all Zhutian Wanjie, boundless and anciently majestic.

Just this Shura Sky Domain alone is likely countless times larger than the entire Ten Lands combined!

At this moment, Ye Wuque's figure darted through the endless starry sky of the Shura Sky Domain.

He had no definite destination, simply following his heart, perceiving the more perfect and vast laws of the Nine Heavens, honing his cultivation, while silently watching for any traces concerning Nine Nether beings and the so‑called "Holy Son".

That day, he rode the Six-Winged Holy Eagle, soaring through an extremely prosperous and glittering Star Domain.

Here the stars were unusually bright and massive, numerous living Ancient Stars, and the aura of passing Dark Cultivators in the starry sky was generally much stronger, occasionally feeling terrifying fluctuations comparable to the level of the Immortal Ancestor of his family.

Deep in the starry sky ahead, a vast, magnificent scene beyond words gradually unfolded.

Countless massive stars, not scattered randomly but like subjects paying homage, circled and guarded a … Divine Hall of indescribable grandeur!

The Divine Hall was entirely dark‑golden, as if forged from the hardest divine metal in the universe, its style ancient and domineering, brimming with iron‑blooded and conquering aura!

The hall stretched endlessly, soaring into the star vault; its size even surpassed many stars, standing silently as if suppressing Eternal Time and Space, its invincible momentum breathtaking, causing the surrounding billions of light‑years of starry sky to submit.

Above the main gate of the Divine Hall hung a massive plaque, inscribed in ancient divine script with two iron‑silver hooks, the fierce characters—

Shura!

Just the sight of those two characters seemed to let one hear endless battlefield clashes and roars, see the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, stirring the soul!

"Shura Divine Hall…"

Ye Wuque's eyes flickered slightly, instantly realizing what place this was.

This is indeed the Vast Desolate Heaven, the Shura Sky Domain's undisputed sole ruler — the Shura Divine Hall!

Its foundation is profound, its history long, famed for warfare; its disciples are all brave and battle‑savvy, their combat strength formidable, and it is quite renowned throughout the Vast Desolate Heaven.

Just as Ye Wuque was feeling the vast, magnificent aura of the Shura Divine Hall—

Boom!!

Deep within the Shura Divine Hall, a massive, radiant, aggressively advancing forceful aura surged skyward, shattering the starry sky's tranquility!

The massive main gate of the Divine Hall slowly opened, and a breathtakingly formidable squad emerged like a drawn sword!

The squad, about a hundred strong, all wore standard dark‑gold battle armor, their aura lean and fierce, a chilling killing aura, clearly veteran elite warriors.

They guarded a completely black ancient war chariot at the center, drawn by four ferocious starry sky beasts!

Upon the chariot, a figure stood proudly.

He was a young man appearing about twenty‑seven or twenty‑eight, tall as a pine, clad in a fitted dark‑gold battle robe, unarmored yet exuding an iron‑blooded, killing aura.

His handsome face, sword‑like eyebrows slanted into his temples, eyes bright as stars, flashing brilliance with each blink, his gaze confident, an invincible aura of "who else but me" rose to the heavens, captivating all.

The moment this young man appeared, he seemed to become the absolute center of the starry sky, drawing every gaze.
