Chapter 947: Chapter 667: Starlock Divine Chain
"Hope everything goes smoothly."
"Rest assured, the Alliance Hierarch’s strength in the Great Wilderness would also be suppressed to the depths of the Eighth Layer, no worries."
"That’s true, if we rebels were in the Great Wilderness, the Divine Court would definitely annihilate our nine clans."
The crowd watched Lu Chenzhou leave, sighing with emotion.
Following the Alliance Hierarch, they too felt they had accomplished an unprecedented grand feat.
...
Meanwhile.
In Tianxia, the starry sky.
A young boy in a white robe strolled leisurely, appearing in an unfamiliar Constant Star System.
The golden fixed star slowly rotated, with twelve golden chains imprisoning the surrounding planets.
Thinking of this as the legacy gift from the owner of Yuan Mountain, his heart was conflicted.
"The owner of Yuan Mountain treated me well, but alas, we’re separated by life and death, unable to repay the favor. According to the Ancient Emperor Lanshan, he found the spiritual imprint of the owner of Yuan Mountain in the River of Time, perhaps he can be resurrected."
In theory, if the Withering and Flourishing Dao is practiced to the extreme, one can control life and death in a universe.
Resurrecting a person should not be difficult.
The only question is, will the resurrected person still be themselves?
"Let’s go in and see."
Compared to last time, Lu Chenzhou was much more composed this time.
The Dao Divine Power seized by the Martial Arts Tree was shared.
The clone exhibited the Flame King True Body, with the Sun Fires at his sides parting like they were paying homage to a king.
A path extending for millions of miles led directly to the star core.
The young boy strode with dragon-like steps to the end of the path.
A three-legged giant cauldron floated suspended, with twelve golden chains extending from its body.
A soft sound came from the cauldron, and a beautiful young girl in a golden flame robe stood barefoot atop its ear.
"Who are you?" the girl asked with a clear and melodious voice.
"Who are you?" Lu Chenzhou was also flustered, not expecting someone inside the Red Star Wonders.
The girl in front of him was not an artifact spirit, she was a living life.
"I don’t know who I am either. Since I was born, I have been here; this is my home."
The golden-robed girl sat down, dangling her small feet on the edge of the cauldron, looking naive and clueless.
"Do you know the owner of Yuan Mountain?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"I don’t know," the girl replied.
"I want to take this cauldron away, is that okay?" he asked tentatively.
The girl’s aura was just of average Eight Realm standard, but living inside a star, she was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"What do you want this cauldron for?"
"This is a treasure the owner of Yuan Mountain prepared for me, and I intend to refine it."
"This cauldron is my home; I need the True Sun Fire refined inside to grow up. If you take it away, I won’t be able to grow up."
"True Sun Fire?"
Lu Chenzhou pondered.
The girl seemed not to be lying, with a youthful and innocent demeanor.
Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment and said, "I have a treasure called the Golden Crow Treasure Pearl, which can also refine True Sun Fire and can accommodate you."
The girl nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll deceive you?" Lu Chenzhou felt suspicious, it was too easy.
"Why would you deceive me?" the girl countered, full of confusion.
She chuckled lightly in her heart: "This giant cauldron is as heavy as a star, I would like to see how he intends to refine it. It is surprising; the rascal who barged in here previously, in less than a few decades, now has Eighth Realm cultivation. It seems he might attain Great Power, and following him out isn’t a bad choice."
The next moment, the girl’s mouth dropped wide open, her breath slightly hurried, her chest rising and falling.
Yet she saw that the youth’s arm muscles bulged, forcefully lifting a corner of the giant cauldron.
A powerful Star Power rippled out like waves.
In a trance, the entire fixed star shook three times.
"This kind of Dao Essence... Seventh Rank Power Extreme Dao, it appears he is indeed the disciple of that monkey," the girl murmured in her heart.
At the peak of the Fourth Level, the Mountain Moving Scripture operated, and Lu Chenzhou completely transformed into a giant of starlight.
Rumble! The giant cauldron was entirely lifted!
A phantom Thunder World took form around the youth, swallowing the giant cauldron into it.
"What? Creating a world? Could he be a Great Power?" The girl was dumbfounded.
Great Powers typically don’t use storage bags; they store things in their own portable world.
In truth, some top-level refining materials are often from True Spirits, easily comparable to stars.
Storage bags can’t hold them.
The girl grew increasingly curious about the identity of this newcomer.
In the Thunder World, the giant cauldron slowly shrank, finally falling in front of Lu Chenzhou, about a meter in height.
"Amazing, amazing, let’s go," the girl clapped and laughed.
"Wait, I don’t know your background, let’s make mutual Dao oaths not to harm each other, what do you think?" Lu Chenzhou suggested.
The girl’s origins were mysterious, and without some measures, he wouldn’t feel assured.
"No problem at all," the girl responded decisively.
Through the oath, Lu Chenzhou learned that the girl’s true name was Jin Yan’er, a name she chose herself upon birth, and her cultivated Dao was fire.
The girl was also somewhat surprised, not expecting anyone in this age to have cultivated World Dao to the Eighth Realm.
...
Ghostly Floating Great World.
Mr. Turtle and Clam Girl hid in the distance of the Ruins Sea, observing the world side by side.
Clam Girl said, "It seems the first to emerge is Camilla. Fortunately, among the thirteen demigods suppressed, her power ranks at the bottom."
Mr. Turtle said, "Hmm, in her current state, she’s probably not much stronger than the Kunxu Ancestor. The Ice Heart Spirit Clan is going to suffer badly, as Camilla hates the Cold Ice God System and dislikes anyone cultivating the Cold Ice Dao."
"Should we intervene?" Clam Girl asked.
"Let’s wait and see. Camilla is nothing; if the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord were to emerge, that would be the real disaster," Mr. Turtle said calmly.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed as he looked in the direction of the Xia Realm.
"What’s wrong?" Clam Girl asked.
"Nothing, just that the treasure left by the owner of Yuan Mountain has been taken by my junior apprentice brother," Mr. Turtle muttered, "Ah, I forgot to tell my junior apprentice brother that our teacher made some little adjustments to speed up the incubation of the Red Star Wonders. It likely gave birth to some bizarre things, but there’s no helping it. Normally, the incubation of the Red Star Wonders takes billions of years, and the teacher doesn’t have time to look for mature wonders."
"How could you forget? Old Turtle!" Clam Girl rolled her eyes at him.
"It’s a small matter, whether it’s good or bad fortune, my junior apprentice brother is a person of great destiny."
...
In front, was a sea of death.
A massive True God head floated at the center, spewing miasma that corroded everything.
Lu Chenzhou traversed within, knowing his clone had secured the treasure and uploaded it to the Candle Dragon Source Space.
The girl followed the clone, temporarily residing in the fixed star where Xia Star is located.
Lu Chenzhou lowered the giant tripod into his palm.
"The Star Trapping Divine Chain, a top-level Red Star Wonder. Once refined, it means the fifth level of the Mountain Moving Scripture is within reach, too bad there’s no time now."
He temporarily stored the wonder and plunged into the True God head.
The condition of the Eternal Immortal was not good.
In the blood-red world, Lu Chenzhou spread his telekinesis, which was much more limited in range than outside.
Because it was a world imprisoning the strong, many restrictive arrays were set up.
In fact, if it weren’t for the long-term disrepair and damage to the arrays, an Eighth Realm expert here would be only at a regular Grandmaster standard.
Though it still suppressed to some extent, it’s not very evident, only suppressing by a small realm.
President Wan went missing on the Eighth Layer, and Lu Chenzhou had a map provided by Emperor Shitian, easily passing through the first six layers.
Occasionally, some inconspicuous fierce spirits were easily obliterated by his will.
Very soon, Lu Chenzhou descended to the Seventh Layer.
As far as the eye could see, countless black giant mountains stood between heaven and earth.
Each mountain being a prison capable of suppressing an average Eighth Realm.
The map provided by Emperor Shitian wasn’t very useful here, and there was no knowing where the entrance to the next layer was.
Lu Chenzhou wasn’t worried. He opened the Dharma Eye in his brow, intertwining the laws of causality.
"Hope this move works."
Upon deploying the early stage causality dao of the Seventh Rank, an invisible force seemed to disturb Lu Chenzhou’s perception.
The threads before him were faintly visible, but their paths were unclear.
"It doesn’t work?" Lu Chenzhou’s face turned grave.
"Then let’s keep upgrading!" He steeled his heart and used all the remaining Enlightenment Steles he had stored for the causality dao upgrade.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
As the fourth Eighth Rank Enlightenment Stele turned to dust, the causality dao was elevated to the Seventh Rank (30%) level.
Lu Chenzhou reopened the Dharma Eye, and the previously indistinct causality thread finally became clear.
What was surprising to him was that there was a blood-red causality line, not related to the Eternal Immortal.
"This malicious line, it seems familiar... Seems to have Achilles’ aura, where did the Eternal Immortal’s go?"
A thought arose in Lu Chenzhou’s mind, as he saw the blood-red line wasn’t far from him, so he followed it.
If it truly was Achilles, this would be the perfect chance to completely kill him.
This causality ought to be concluded once and for all.
...
Inside a black mountain.
Achilles was in prison, sorting through the junk he had picked up from other prisons over time, all relics of other dead prisoners.
"I, the esteemed Shadow Stream Dominator, have fallen to such a state!
Lu Chenzhou, when you’re dead of old age, I, Achilles, will certainly go to your grave to have a good dance and celebrate!"
Achilles cursed venomously to himself.
He was too miserable.
"Today’s haul is good, I even picked up three High Grade Primordial Stones, enough to last me a while."
After cursing Lu Chenzhou, Achilles held the primordial stone, ready to cultivate.
The environment in the Divine Prison Realm was harsh, and the primordial qi couldn’t be refined.
"Hehe, Achilles, you really did pocket the three stones. Seems I’ve been too lenient with you."
A grotesque smile that was hideously extreme appeared in the void.
Achilles’ face changed drastically, and he quickly knelt, "Senior Smile, please don’t kill me. If I don’t use these High Grade Primordial Stones, my cultivation will fall out of the peak of the Seventh Realm, and in this Seventh Layer, I can’t survive. I just want to live a few more days, and I’ll gather more cultivation resources to honor you."
A hand extended from the grotesque smile, taking two stones and leaving one for Achilles. "This one is enough for you to cultivate. Don’t play tricks. No matter how great you were in the Three Thousand Worlds, in this Divine Prison Realm, even a True Dragon has to bow down!" The smile said before disappearing.
Achilles sat down on the ground dejectedly.
"If I surrender to Lu Chenzhou, will he give me a chance at survival?"
He began to fantasize internally, then shook his head.
...
At the same time.
In the highest black mountain of the Seventh Layer.
A black-robed figure wearing a smiling mask cultivated by absorbing primordial stones: "It’s said that the Hall Master caught someone who privately ventured into the forbidden area of the Eighth Layer and took only a few hundred years to reach the Eighth Realm. It’s indeed miraculous. Perhaps the way out of the Divine Prison Realm lies in that person."
