Ancient lingerers?
Ye Wuque naturally heard these five words. They sounded like a title, and for these two second-step Saint Kings to call them out at this time, they must be of great significance.
"Could they be some powerful saint-kings who chose to remain in the past?"
As the name suggests, Ye Wuque had made some deductions.
He found this quite interesting.
Now that he has come, he naturally expects powerful Saint Kings, the more the better, the more monstrous the better.
The star was neither too big nor too small, and Ye Wuque was moving extremely fast. He had already spotted a light ahead.
Looking out, one can immediately see a radiant base inlaid with a bright white crystal amidst the light. A six-pointed star pattern floats on the top, and silvery lines wrap around the pillar like living veins. A rhomboid crystal core hangs at the top, flowing with clear sky light and constantly rippling out tiny starlight, which falls to the ground in a ring, making it beautiful and magnificent.
"Starry Sky Anchor Point... It's beautiful."
Ye Wuque quickly approached and immediately sensed an ancient, grand, and mysterious aura, condensing a high-level spatial-temporal power to its extreme.
Moreover, Ye Wuque could immediately sense that the material of this star anchor was extremely special, indestructible, and could not be easily destroyed after years of wear and tear.
The soft light emanating from the star anchor illuminated all directions. After a brief sensing, Ye Wuque discovered that its operation was extremely simple.
Within this star anchor point, a star coordinate has obviously been set. Once activated, it will directly teleport you to the destination at that coordinate.
Ye Wuque swept his divine soul power over the area and immediately memorized the coordinates of the starry sky.
A wisp of Battle Saint Qi flew out from his fingertip and immediately entered the Starry Sky Anchor Point.
Buzz buzz buzz!
As the Battle Saint Qi was injected, the brightness of the star anchor point immediately began to increase. What was originally very soft became increasingly intense, as if it had transformed into sunlight.
An even stronger spatial power rippled outwards, transforming into a halo that instantly enveloped Ye Wuque.
The intense brilliance dissipated in the next instant, and the star anchor point softened again, returning to its original state.
Ye Wuque had disappeared; he had been teleported away and left the large star.
...
The vast and mysterious starry sky has existed since ancient times, its extent unknown.
This is a decaying star corridor.
Dust was everywhere, and it seemed like a deserted place.
Sudden……
Buzz buzz buzz!
A bright spatial radiance lit up one corner of the Starry Sky Corridor, from which Ye Wuque's tall and slender figure was teleported out.
After landing, Ye Wuque looked around calmly.
"It seems that the teleportation from the star anchor points is not continuous; in some areas, you have to travel on your own. This is also part of the trial."
Ye Wuque, being knowledgeable and experienced, immediately moved and rushed out of the Starry Sky Corridor.
The mysterious starry sky was deathly silent, with only some cosmic wonders appearing and disappearing.
That unseen sense of direction still lingers, helping me to discern the correct path.
Ye Wuque had now roughly determined that he was not the only one who had this unseen sense of what lay ahead.
It is likely that all the saintly kings who embarked on the "Ancient Path of Burning Heaven", "The Middle Way of Suppressing Fate", and "The New Path of Revelation" in three different timelines would have this feeling.
After all, the trials are meant to determine the strongest!
Therefore, all saintly kings are destined to go towards an ultimate destination in order to achieve the unity of all things and the convergence of all paths.
call out!
Ye Wuque was very fast. From Chen Feiyue and Gu Tianqiong, he already knew that his current position should still be in the initial stage of the new path of enlightenment.
Moreover, Gu Tianqiong stayed on that large star in order to wait for Chen Feiyue.
Time had passed by the time they had left, and the main force was certainly far ahead.
Undoubtedly, those powerful Saint Kings have already penetrated to the very front lines, and their progress is probably terrifying.
After all, the more powerful a Saint King is, the more likely their true opponent is no longer the Saint King in the current timeline.
Instead, they are monstrous creatures from two different timelines.
The real showdown, the bloody battle that decides life and death, will all take place there... on the Three Incarnations Ascension to Heaven!
If Ye Wuque wants to encounter a sufficiently powerful Saint King, such as one with the strong foundation of "overcoming the strong with the weak and fighting beyond one's level," he also needs to catch up with the progress and keep rushing forward.
Ye Wuque didn't know where the next star anchor point would be, but the existence of that inexplicable feeling was enough.
In the deathly silent starry sky, Ye Wuque transformed into a golden streak of light with extreme speed.
"Um?"
But soon, Ye Wuque's gaze shifted and he saw bloodstains splattered in the void ahead, staining some meteorites, a shocking sight.
After Ye Wuque had walked forward for another ten breaths, he finally saw several bloody corpses.
Two of the corpses were very young, but they died with their eyes wide open, their faces filled with intense resentment!
One step to becoming a saintly king.
Both.
If they were placed in the outside world, they would be potential dragons capable of making a powerful force flourish!
But in this trial of the Sage King, those who died were like people on two separate roads, ignored by everyone.
"These two first-stage Saint Kings were able to pass the four preliminary rounds, either because they were lucky or because they had some real skills. Unfortunately, they ultimately died here, fighting to the death."
As for the other bodies, they all appeared to be elderly or middle-aged, and their clothing varied.
These were likely the subordinates that these two Saint Kings had recruited after entering the new path of revelation, and they too were buried here forever.
The Saint King Trial is never a simple one-on-one battle.
Forming cliques and factions.
To recruit subordinates.
Intrigue and deception.
Luck and belief.
These are all part of strength.
Unless you possess unparalleled strength that allows you to sweep away everything and ignore everything.
"It seems that Gai Xianyuan was able to survive the elimination and even obtain a Divine Universe Crystal, which is a benefit that is usually given during the first four rounds of the preliminary selection."
"Once you reach the path of the three lifetimes, it is a battle of life and death, and there will be no more mercy."
Ye Wuque's eyes were deep and profound.
Now that he has successfully entered the Saint King Trial, he naturally wants to see if there is any chance to obtain a new... Divine Crystal!
After all, he could have as many Divine Crystals as possible, as the Seven Star Refining Box needed them.
Even if you only get one, it's still a huge gain.
But this matter can't be rushed, and Ye Wuque is very patient.
Finally, about half a day later, a magnificent star reappeared at the end of Ye Wuque's gaze.
This large star looks quite ancient, far surpassing the previous one, and has clearly been cultivated for a long time.
An unseen sense told Ye Wuque that there must be a new celestial anchor point on this large star.
Ye Wuque's figure immediately descended and entered the large star.
The Great Star contains many ancient cities and is home to a diverse array of native creatures.
Soon, Ye Wuque sensed the boiling atmosphere and the chaotic discussions, which were filled with both excitement and helplessness as people watched the spectacle.
"It's happening again! That local tyrant, the 'Yunmeng family,' is recruiting sons-in-law again!"
"Hehehe! Is that what you call recruiting a son-in-law? That's clearly just borrowing blood! Borrowing the bloodlines of those Saint Kings to produce outstanding future geniuses for the Yunmeng family!"
"I heard that more than a dozen Saint Kings are trapped in Yunmeng City and cannot leave for the time being!"
"The Starry Sky Anchor Point is located deep within Yunmeng City, controlled by the Yunmeng family. If those Saint Kings want to leave, they either have to force their way in, sweeping through the Yunmeng family like those monsters before, or they can only proceed slowly and methodically!"
"Alas, the Yunmeng family has gone mad, dreaming of using a sufficiently powerful Saint King seed to propagate a new generation of the future!"
"The problem is, if all the girls in the Yunmeng family were beauties, that would be a different story. But they're all just ordinary, some even weird and grotesque—it's disgusting!"
"Anyway, there's going to be a good show! Those dozen or so Saint Kings aren't pushovers either; they're all proud. How could they possibly agree to this humiliating agreement? They're definitely up to something. Let's head to Yunmeng City!"
...
Amidst the lively discussions from all directions, Ye Wuque, expressionless, headed towards Yunmeng City.
