Starry Sky Ancient Road! The Red-Haired Giant Hand, Reunited with Crow Daoist
The Demon Realm, a deep abyss.
An ancient altar appeared in the abyss.
The altar looked very ancient, as if it had stood for countless years.
The Old Heavenly Devil led Lu Changsheng to the altar.
"My Devil Master, this is the starting point of the Starry Sky Ancient Road. As long as the formation is activated, the Starry Sky Ancient Road can be summoned."
The Old Heavenly Devil said this.
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Heavenly Demon."
Lu Changsheng expressed his gratitude.
But the Old Heavenly Devil shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Devil Master, you're too kind."
After saying this, the Old Heavenly Devil condensed Law Seals, and then the ancient altar trembled, its light shining in all directions.
Before long, an ancient road appeared, descending from the sky, its destination unknown.
The Starry Sky Ancient Road appeared, shining brightly. Shan Ting seemed very excited at this moment, as if she longed to go to the immortal realm.
"My Lord Devil Master Lord, please be careful on your journey."
The Old Heavenly Devil spoke.
Lu Changsheng nodded; he would naturally be careful.
"My Lord Devil Master Lord, there are a few things I still need to tell you. On the Starry Sky Ancient Road, you can see the stars of the universe, their myriad changes, their dazzling brilliance, even beyond imagination. But do not become obsessed with them, or you will fall into the state of Dao Transformation."
"Once you fall into this state, you are very likely to perish. There was once a powerful Immortal Emperor who, after witnessing the magnificence of the universe, was forced to perish. So Devil Master, you must be careful. This is countless times more terrifying than the ancient star beasts."
The Old Heavenly Devil was extremely serious; this was the first time Lu Changsheng had ever seen the Old Heavenly Devil so focused.
"Good!"
Lu Changsheng nodded seriously. Since the Old Heavenly Devil had said so, he would definitely pay close attention.
"Alright, alright, I'm telling you, Old Heavenly Devil, why are you so long-winded? With Shan Ting here, how could the Changsheng Demon Lord possibly be in danger? You're just spreading alarmist rumors, stop jinxing me."
The Old Heavenly Devil felt a little embarrassed by Shan Ting's words.
Indeed, it's not like it's a matter of life and death, so why make it so sad?
"Oh, there's one more thing, Devil Master Lord. Not only should you not delve too deeply into observing the stars and cosmos, but also, no matter what terrifying things you see on the ancient road, do not look at them for too long. There are many things in the universe that even Immortal Emperors cannot understand, and there are all sorts of incredible things. You must be careful."
The Old Heavenly Devil gave the instructions again.
"Alright, Senior Heavenly Demon, then farewell."
Lu Changsheng nodded, then stepped onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road, bidding farewell to the Old Heavenly Devil.
Shan Ting waved his elephant trunk as a farewell, and then embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road with Lu Changsheng.
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng disappeared from the Old Heavenly Devil's sight.
Stepping onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road, the speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, we left the sky.
The main star of the entire Demon Realm instantly transformed into a sphere, gradually shrinking little by little.
Is this the starry sky?
Shan Ting voice rang out, and as he gazed at the universe and stars, he murmured to himself.
Lu Changsheng also glanced at the universe.
Throughout the entire Demon Realm universe, stars fell like dust, radiating all kinds of light—red, green, yellow, orange, cyan, blue, and purple—creating a magnificent spectacle.
The vastness of the universe inevitably brings to mind several idioms: unpredictable, all-encompassing, ever-changing, and elusive.
Each star reveals the grandeur of the universe.
Some galaxies are even more magnificent and terrifying, resembling a giant hand, while others look like a Qilin a mythical Chinese creature).
The four directions and the top and bottom are called the universe. Although the universe has a reality, it has no fixed location to be found. The past and present are called time. Although time has increased, its origin is unknown.
The vast universe and the boundless starry sky make one feel inexplicably small and the world is magnificent.
At this moment, not to mention Shan Ting, even Lu Changsheng, upon witnessing this magnificent universe with his own eyes, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Even if a cultivator's cultivation reaches the heavens, in the Lower Realm, reaching the Mahayana Realm is nothing more than a powerful figure within a small star.
And these stars are simply countless, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.
Let alone looking at the universe, there are already countless stars like this in a single galaxy.
Think about it: how insignificant is an ordinary person in the whole world?
Gazing at the Azure Sky, Lu Changsheng suddenly had countless thoughts.
The Milky Way is dazzling, and the various nebulae look even more colorful.
However, Lu Changsheng did not keep looking at the stars. He knew that the deeper he went, the more he would doubt his own existence.
In the face of the universe and stars, one fact always comes to mind.
I am merely a figurehead in this world.
"I'm leaving, Shan Ting."
Lu Changsheng patted Shan Ting's head, and the latter immediately woke up from her reverie.
A human and a beast walked along the Starry Sky Ancient Road, the road ahead seemingly endless.
I don't know how much time has passed. In the universe, everything seems to be still, and there is no concept of time.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng saw some characters appear on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
"Li Taige has arrived!"
"Zhang Yuelin has arrived!"
"Chen Bei has arrived!"
One by one, names are engraved on the Starry Sky Ancient Road. Some names have been eroded by time and are difficult to see clearly, but what can be known is that these names belong to the strong people who have embarked on this road throughout the ages.
"Changsheng Demon Lord, come and take a look! This character looks so familiar."
Shan Ting voice rang out, pointing to a spot not far away, and said this.
At that moment, Lu Changsheng looked over and soon saw a line of large characters.
"I don't want to shed tears, for I'm afraid they'll dirty your path of reincarnation."
The font is very familiar, and the text is also very familiar.
In an instant, an image of a silly goose appeared in Lu Changsheng's mind.
Ugh!
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but shudder; the imagery was too vivid, and he was afraid he would have nightmares.
"The Crow Daoist?"
Lu Changsheng spoke, Shan Ting immediately understood.
"I was wondering why this handwriting looked so familiar. Oh, it's him!"
"Has the Crow Daoist also embarked on this Starry Sky Ancient Road?"
Shan Ting to mutterings.
Lu Changsheng continued on his way, and along the ancient road appeared a large number of sayings by the Crow Daoist.
"Two people who have lost their connection may never see each other again in this lifetime."
"Falling in love isn't easy; everyone has their own temper."
"If I had mustered the courage that day, perhaps our ending would have been different."
The Crow Daoist's writing was as simple and unadorned as ever, but when he thought about the subtlety of this fate, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but fall silent.
"Sigh, this Crow Daoist, although he is indeed a bit silly, is also a devoted lover."
Shan Ting, one couldn't help but sigh for the Crow Daoist.
Lu Changsheng didn't say anything and continued walking.
As they walked, an ancient warship soon appeared in the distance.
The warship was already extremely dim, but it was huge, like a star. Lu Changsheng looked at it.
For a moment, he was slightly startled.
Not a single living being remained on the warship; they all perished in the universe, and the warship itself merely wandered the cosmos.
"When the world's Spiritual Qi is depleted, some powerful beings will create these Starry Sky Warships in order to travel to other worlds and seek survival. However, most of them will get lost in the universe."
"Even if we do find a new world, all we'll encounter is war and slaughter. No world will accept cultivators from outside."
Shan Ting, who knew a great deal, seemed completely unmoved by this Starry Sky Warship.
"Yes!" Lu Changsheng nodded. Shan Ting was true. In any world, the appearance of powerful outsiders would only lead to war. The idea of peace talks only existed in the good intentions of a few people.
The ancient road was boring because it was unclear how much longer it would take to reach the end.
So along the way, we had to take a look at the stars and cosmos.
However, it is precisely because of viewing these cosmic stars that people's moral compass becomes unstable, leading them to become obsessed with the Tao.
Along the way, Lu Changsheng did see some traces of Dao Transformation, and their strength was not bad. They were at least Immortal Venerable level experts who could transform into Dao on the ancient road. If one's cultivation was poor, it was really hard to imagine that one could transform into Dao.
After all, with such poor cultivation, observing the universe and stars will at most make you question the meaning of life.
However, cultivators with profound cultivation often remain stuck at a certain realm for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years. At this time, their thinking will fall into a bottleneck, and they will look at the universe and stars again.
In an instant, a thought arose, "I have cultivated diligently for so many years, and even if I become an Immortal Venerable or Immortal Saint, what good will it do? In the face of the universe, I am still as insignificant as dust." This thought would lead to despair about cultivation, and then one would gradually sink into depravity.
Ultimately, it vanished into nothingness.
It's different for those with low cultivation levels. Someone like Lu Changsheng, besides being shocked, didn't have any other emotions.
If his cultivation level were lower, he would probably just say "awesome" and then continue walking in silence.
But, just like that, we kept walking.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura appeared.
Moo!
As if an ancient ferocious beast had been resurrected, billions of stars trembled, and in the universe, mist filled the air as a giant purple hand reached out.
Wherever it went, stars collapsed and were destroyed. This giant hand was terrifying, the giant claw of Starry Sky Giant Beast, flowing with ominousness and darkness.
Moreover, the giant claws are covered with red hair, making them look terrifying.
This is an extremely terrifying force that instills despair.
"Immortal King -level Starry Sky Giant Beast!!"
Shan Ting was shocked; he trembled all over.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
They also fully understood just how terrifying Immortal King level being truly was.
Although he knew the order of realms after ascending to the upper realm, Lu Changsheng's understanding of the realms was still somewhat vague.
It just doesn't seem like much.
For example, the Old Heavenly Devil was also an Immortal King- level expert, but Lu Changsheng did not think that the Old Heavenly Devil was very strong.
But at this moment, Lu Changsheng understood just how terrifying Immortal King was.
One hand can shatter countless stars, collapse the universe, and destroy the heavens and the earth.
How terrifying is a true Immortal King?
Lu Changsheng couldn't believe it, and he couldn't imagine how strong a true Immortal King would be.
In fact, in the immortal realm...
The three realms of Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Celestial Immortal are only considered beginners. Reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm is equivalent to reaching the Mahayana Realm in the Immortal Cultivation World, allowing one to teleport thousands of miles instantly and overturn rivers and seas.
But to those in the upper realms, these abilities are nothing at all.
Upon reaching the realm of True Immortal or Golden Immortal, one possesses the power to shake mountains and rivers. Under the influence of Daoist magic, one can shatter mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, making one extremely powerful.
But after reaching the Golden Immortal realm, each subsequent realm is a complete and utter transformation.
The gap widens as you progress.
Just like the official class in a mortal dynasty, a first-rank official can completely suppress a second-rank official, and even crush him.
In the Demon Realm, Lu Changsheng's subordinates were all Demon Lord-level powerhouses, and with three Demon King -level powerhouses showing him utmost respect, it naturally gave Lu Changsheng the feeling that even Immortal King weren't that strong.
In reality, a Golden Immortal is nothing more than a star compared to a dust before Immortal King.
Even though Lu Changsheng is so powerful, if he were to encounter Immortal King- level being, the other party could blow Lu Changsheng to death with a single breath.
Later on, the growth rate was no longer double, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times.
However, let alone Immortal King level experts, even Immortal Saint level experts are beyond Lu Changsheng's reach.
Boom boom boom boom!
One by one, stars collapsed. This behemoth seemed to want to destroy the Starry Sky Ancient Road. Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly. He sensed the strength of Immortal King, but he was not afraid.
The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Profound Yellow Pagoda has been revived. This is an Immortal King- level merit Law Treasure. Although it cannot be activated to suppress this Starry Sky Giant Beast, it can at least protect one's own safety.
But just as this giant red-haired hand was about to appear on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
A clear and crisp sound rang out.
"Gah!"
A strange sound rang out, and in an instant, a demonic bird blotted out the sky and crashed directly at the giant red-haired hand.
The universe trembled.
Each star turned to dust, shattering into a complete mess.
This is a battle Immortal King.
Lu Changsheng Shan Ting watched quietly.
A black demonic bird, covering millions of miles, was surrounded by Yao Qi of overwhelming demonic energy.
The giant red hand in the mist was injured; the back of its hand was cracked, dripping streaks of purple blood.
Every drop of blood is terrifying; falling into the starry sky, a single drop of blood evaporates a star.
"Moo!"
The terrifying sound rang out, and the Starry Sky Giant Beast retreated.
He seemed unwilling to fight, because his opponent was also Immortal King, and a major battle would be a losing proposition.
The Starry Sky Giant Beast retreated into the mist.
That suffocating pressure has also vanished.
Soon, the demonic bird materialized, and the figure of the Crow Daoist appeared not far away.
"Crow Daoist, why don't you kill him?"
Shan Ting voice rang out, and he was very curious as to why the Crow Daoist did not press his advantage.
However, the Crow Daoist in the distance stared blankly at Lu Changsheng Shan Ting.
After a long while, his voice slowly rang out.
"His skin color is the same as that of Purple Finch."
Lu Changsheng: ""
Shan Ting:
