He Was Nothing Like a Normal Villain!
Chu Xinghe's Shoe Art never disappoint him!
But this time, the Shoe Art made the shoe stand upright, with the toe pointing skyward!
That was as if telling Chu Xinghe that he couldn't continue Xiangqian; going upward was the right path now!
The Shoe Art at this moment was meant to make Chu Xinghe give up.
But Chu Xinghe completely ignored the Shoe Art and simply picked it up and threw it away again!
The shoe landed again, remaining upright in the same spot, with the toe still pointing upwards!
Chu Xinghe ignored it and continued picking up and throwing the shoes...
Eight times in a row, Chu Xinghe threw the shoe upwards every time!
Seeing this, An Ying naturally understood what was going on...
An Ying knew that Chu Xinghe's Shoe Art originated from the legendary Star Divination Art, which could help Chu Xinghe avoid misfortune and attract good fortune. Now, the Shoe Art was teaching Chu Xinghe how to avoid danger.
The Star Divination Art believes that there is something ahead that can threaten Chu Xinghe, something that even Chu Xinghe cannot escape unscathed!
Therefore, the Shoe Art repeatedly reminded Chu Xinghe that he could not continue Xiangqian, and that the best course of action now was to return the way he came!
But now the An Ying can understand it, Little Buddha can't!
Little Buddha was completely dumbfounded when he saw Chu Xinghe throw away his shoe!
No... is this some strange ritual from your Four Continents?
Is it true that you always have to throw away your shoe first when something big happens?
Moreover, Chu Xinghe's shoe-throwing skills are quite impressive... Look at him, every time he throws a shoe, he manages to stand still with the toe pointing to the sky. That's not something an ordinary person can do!
Little Buddha said, "Although I've never lost a shoe before, I'm certain I could never throw one at Chu Xinghe's level!"
Just as the Little Buddha was bewildered, Chu Xinghe threw out his shoe for the ninth time!
The shoe remained standing, pointing towards the sky!
As Chu Xinghe up the shoe again, he spoke, "Nine times already, that's about enough... I know this path might be a deadly one, but back at the Source of Fear, when everyone was guarding me, they probably knew it was a deadly path too, and they didn't give up. How can I give up today!"
As Chu Xinghe finished speaking, the shoe was thrown for the tenth time. This time, the shoe did not remain upright; instead, it pointed in a certain direction!
Seeing this direction, Chu Xinghe smiled, picked up his shoes, and headed in that direction!
As Chu Xinghe continued Xiangqian, he encountered quite a few Star Ghosts. Although there was light here, all the Star Ghosts were blind, so the light actually made things better for them. Chu Xinghe could see them with his eyes, but their Chu Xinghe could not detect his presence.
So Chu Xinghe strolled Xiangqian, eventually arriving at the other side of the light barrier...
At this moment, right at the edge of this light barrier, you can see a spiral staircase descending!
Chu Xinghe threw the shoe again, and the direction it pointed told Chu Xinghe that this was the right path!
Chu Xinghe the stairs, and as he went further down, he could feel terrifying fluctuations coming from below.
These fluctuations must originate from those powerful Star Ghosts.
As he continued downwards, Chu Xinghe finally saw the entire underground landscape!
Deep underground, where it wasn't dark, there stood a colossal starlight tree. Surrounding this tree were countless Star Ghosts, all kneeling there.
Chains shimmering with blue light were attached to their horns and connected them to the giant tree!
Chu Xinghe only realized after getting a little closer that each of these Star Ghosts kneeling beside the giant tree was wearing the same clothes as Star Lord!
But they had already lost all hope of survival!
Seeing this, not only Chu Xinghe, but even An Ying and Little Buddha couldn't help but gasp!
These people kneeling here, connected by blue starlight chains, are all Star Lord -level beings from the Star Sea Abyss!
Star Sea Abyss did not only give birth to eight Star Lords. In fact, Star Sea Abyss has given birth to many Star Lords over the years, but Star Sea Abyss only kept those eight Star Lords. All the other Star Lords were sent to this giant tree!
Then these Star Lords were sacrificed, their lives becoming nourishment for this giant tree!
There are more than a hundred Star Lord corpses here, which suggests that the Star Ghost Clan's plan to revive its Ancestor of Primal Souls has been going on for quite some time!
The first step in the revival of the Ancestor of Primal Souls should not be to sacrifice the souls of prodigies, but rather the lives of Star Lords!
Looking at the more than one hundred Star Lord -level sacrifices, Chu Xinghe himself felt a little terrified!
What kind of terrifying entity is this giant tree connected to that requires the sacrifice of hundreds of Star Lords to revive it?
Just as Chu Xinghe was sighing, the sharp-eyed An Ying spoke up, "Senior Brother Xinghe, look... aren't those everyone's souls hanging at the very top of that tree?"
As the An Ying figure finished speaking, Chu Xinghe looked in that direction, and the next moment, Chu Xinghe's face lit up with wild joy!
That's right!
This time, An Ying wasn't mistaken; his gaze had been completely drawn to the sacrificial Star Lords, and he hadn't paid attention to the top of the giant tree.
At this moment, at the very top of the giant tree, Chu Xinghe saw that every branch had a round, fruit-like little ball hanging from it.
These fruits are not real fruits; they are all sealed souls!
One by one, spheres of souls appeared before Chu Xinghe 'Chu Xinghe eyes, and he saw familiar faces among these sealed spheres!
Seeing this, Chu Xinghe smiled...
At this moment, Chu Xinghe didn't care what kind of monster was down there. He knew that his first priority was to save everyone's souls!
After we've sent everyone out of this Buddha Domain, we can discuss other matters at our own pace!
Without hesitation, Chu Xinghe flew directly to the top of the giant tree!
Just as Chu Xinghe on the giant tree, preparing to extract the souls of the prodigies, he witnessed a scene that sent chills down his spine!
Because right in front of Chu Xinghe... at the very center of this giant tree, Chu Xinghe finally saw that there was a person sitting there, bathed in blue starlight!
That's right! His appearance is different from that of a normal Star Ghosts; he looks more like a human!
However, he also had a single horn on his head!
At this very moment, the person whose body was shimmering with blue starlight sat atop the giant tree, smiling as he looked at Chu Xinghe!
That's right!
It's about watching!
It's not the kind of seeing that uses perception, but the kind of seeing that truly uses your eyes!
He was looking at Chu Xinghe with a smile on his face, just like a homeowner who had caught a thief!
"Luojia was right this time; your body is indeed more powerful than that of all the Great Buddha Lord of the past!"
At this moment, the star-like figure sitting atop the treetop slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xinghe suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. In that instant Chu Xinghe seemed to finally understand why the Shoe Art had told him he was gone after being thrown nine times in a row!
It turns out I wasn't completely invisible in this Star Sea Abyss!
The Luojia mentioned by the starlight figure is the current Star King among the Star Ghosts of the Star Sea Abyss.
While it's true that Star Lord -level being couldn't detect Chu Xinghe, that doesn't mean that Star King at the Main God- level couldn't either!
The moment Chu Xinghe entered the Star Sea Abyss, the Star King sensed the arrival of the three of them!
Star King's initial target was Little Buddha.
But soon Star King discovered something that he could hardly believe!
That's Chu Xinghe!
This Chu Xinghe's body is far, far more powerful than that of the Little Buddha!
It's important to know that Little Buddha the Main God Divinity, which means he's been comprehensively strengthened. However, even with the Main God Divinity, his physical body is still no match for Chu Xinghe!
This discovery greatly alarmed Star King, who immediately informed the starlight figure in the treetop!
And this starlight figure is none other than the Ancestor of Primal Souls whom the An Ying had heard about!
At this moment, Chu Xinghe filled with fear, but he found that he had no chance to move at all. A terrifying force, which Chu Xinghe hardly believe, surged from all directions and forcibly locked him in place.
At this moment, Chu Xinghe felt as if he were completely locked in by layers of shackles!
At this moment, Chu Xinghe understood that fate had not lied; the Ancestor of Primal Souls before him was far, far stronger than any of the powerful beings he had ever encountered!
He may have surpassed the realm of the Main God; he must be that monster who survived from ancient times!
Just as Chu Xinghe was filled with fear, the Ancestor of Primal Souls also stood up from the treetop.
"Little one, don't be nervous, you can call me the Origin Ancestor! Tsk tsk... You're really amazing, you only have a body and a mind, but no soul! Where are your three souls and seven spirits hidden? Let me see..."
At this moment, Origin Ancestor extended a finger and touched Chu Xinghe's forehead. The next moment, Chu Xinghe felt his consciousness spinning and about to blur before returning to normal.
"Interesting... I couldn't even detect the location of your soul... So it seems you must have stored them in some extraordinary place!"
"But none of that matters anymore. I don't need your soul; I need your body! I've waited for so many years... I've finally found the body I need. With this body, even if I can't regain my peak power, it will be enough to control everything."
"For so many years, various races have sealed my Star Ghost Clan in this Star Sea Abyss... My departed clansmen, rest assured, I will personally wash away all the shame originating from the Star Sea Abyss!"
As Origin Ancestor spoke, he kept circling around Chu Xinghe, looking at Chu Xinghe's body as if he were looking at a work of art!
"A perfect body of flesh and blood... and even possesses the Phoenix Divine Fire... unbelievable, truly unbelievable! Even back then, your body was unimaginable. It's really hard to imagine that such a perfect body still exists in this era!"
Origin Ancestor spoke, he prepared to seize Chu Xinghe's body!
"Wait! I'm about to die, can't I at least die knowing why!"
Chu Xinghe spoke up at this moment, trying to buy some time!
But this Origin Ancestor doesn't play by the rules at all. He just smiled slightly, then pointed a finger at Chu Xinghe's body. The next moment, Chu Xinghe felt dizzy, and then his entire consciousness was forcibly expelled from his body by the Origin Ancestor!
This Origin Ancestor... is completely different from normal villains; he's ruthless and doesn't talk much...
