Chapter 475
Xiao Minghuang waved his hand, unwilling to discuss it further.
"Our most pressing task right now is to find the whereabouts of Fellow Daoist Changli and Fellow Daoist Lifeng. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will become."
Seeing this, Ye Ruoshui could only calm herself down and nod in agreement.
I don't know how much time will pass.
Far, far from the asteroid's location, on the surface of a desolate, Dead Star, Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King nestled close together, ceasing the flow of their Immortal Dao Law to minimize their energy expenditure.
"Sister Changli, I feel like I can only hold on for three more days at most..."
Lifeng Immortal King's lips were cracked and her face was pale. She opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at Immortal King Chang Li, and said in a low voice.
Immortal King Chang Li was also pale, his clothes were tattered and covered in blood, and he looked extremely miserable.
"Um."
She had mixed feelings.
Originally, she came out to find the Ziwei Immortal King, but unexpectedly she found herself in a desperate situation.
However, she wouldn't blame the Ziwei Immortal King; it was her own decision, and nothing else mattered.
"Alas, I originally wanted to come out to find Fellow Daoist Ziwei, but I've caused Sister Lifeng to suffer along with me, her life hanging by a thread..."
"Sister, don't blame yourself, it was all my own choice..."
Lifeng Immortal King, "If we hadn't suddenly encountered the Void Storm, we wouldn't have been injured. Finding our way would have been just a matter of time. If anyone's to blame, it's just bad luck..."
"Don't worry, since we survived, we'll definitely find a way to escape."
Immortal King Chang Li forced a smile and offered words of comfort.
However, before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.
Rumble!!!
In the silent void, a deafening roar suddenly resounded. Accompanying the roar, a violent and fierce shockwave swept across, creating a vast and turbulent wave, as if the entire sky had collapsed, which was terrifying.
Both Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King were horrified, as they felt an immeasurable and terrifying power descend upon them.
"This power... this power..."
The Immortal King Chang Li was utterly terrified.
What a magnificent power this is!
She even felt that this destructive fluctuation seemed to far surpass the Celestial King and was in no way inferior to the Longevity Heavenly Venerable!
Without a second thought, she grabbed the Lifeng Immortal King and started to retreat.
Accompanied by violent fluctuations, an ancient and simple immortal ship emerged from the boundless void. Surrounded by chaotic energy, it resembled a divine artifact from the Primordial Era, exuding overwhelming majesty and terrifying aura, suppressing all things, crushing the universe, and causing the heavens and earth to change color.
It drove by slowly, as if the end of the world had come and everything was being obliterated.
Immortal King Chang Li felt a chill run down his spine.
"What is that...?"
Lifeng Immortal King was stunned.
She felt the presence of death envelop her.
The owner of this ancient immortal ship seems to possess extremely terrifying power.
However, at this moment, Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King found that their entire bodies seemed to be fixed in the void, unable to move at all. Even their thoughts were locked, and they could not transmit any information at all.
"How so?"
Who exactly is it?
An overwhelming sense of horror welled up inside her.
Both she and Immortal King Chang Li were at the Immortal King level, and even in the entire universe, they were at the very top of the pyramid. Apart from the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Venerables, they could basically do whatever they wanted. Unexpectedly, they were unable to struggle at this moment.
Not long after.
The celestial ship came to a stop, hovering in the void, radiating countless divine lights, like an eternally blazing Sun Star illuminating all darkness.
Immortal King Chang Li saw a figure emerge from the immortal ship. It was a middle-aged man, dressed in an ancient golden robe. He had an ordinary appearance but a tall and straight figure. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on all directions with unparalleled arrogance, as if he were above the nine heavens.
He stepped into the void of space, and countless meteorites around him shattered into dust, turning into tiny particles that drifted and scattered like fireworks blooming in the void.
With each step he took, he shortened the distance, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King.
"Greetings, senior!"
The moment she saw the middle-aged man, a chill inexplicably rose in Immortal King Chang Li's heart, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
The chill made her mind freeze and her body unable to react, but her mind remained clear, and she knew that this person must be an unparalleled immortal!
"Hehe... no need for formalities..."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, like a spring breeze welcoming snow or warm sunshine touching ice; the terrifying pressure instantly vanished without a trace.
On the other side.
Xiao Minghuang continued to traverse the void, her entire body shimmering with starlight, seemingly never tiring.
Ye Ruoshui was unable to recover in the void and had been placed in a small world by her.
Where did they go?
Xiao Minghuang walked through a broken meteorite belt, frowning.
She communicated with the origins of the Dead Star along the way, learned the whereabouts of the Immortal King Chang Li and the Lifeng Immortal King, and followed them all the way until she finally arrived at this meteorite belt.
But right here, the two vanished completely, and no matter how she searched, she found nothing.
"It seems a Void Storm just occurred here..."
Xiao Minghuang pondered.
She closed her eyes to sense, her body radiating divine light as she continuously extended the Great Dao Power of Stars within her, attempting to find the scattered traces of the origin.
However, she gained nothing.
"Could it be that they were really swept away by the Void Storm?"
Xiao Minghuang sighed inwardly.
However, at that moment, she keenly sensed that wisps of peculiar rule fluctuations were emanating from the depths of nothingness.
She focused her attention on sensing, and a strange expression immediately appeared on her face.
Among the meteorite cluster, there is a crystal-clear object, radiating a dazzling brilliance, slowly drifting along. It moves very fast, like a fish swimming through the meteorite belt.
"Jieyuan! Don't run!"
Xiao Minghuang immediately called out, urging the Power of Stars within her body to accelerate her flight towards the origin of that Dead Star.
Her movements were incredibly graceful, like a butterfly fluttering in the air, or a lotus flower blooming in the void—exquisitely beautiful and elegant, a feast for the eyes.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived beside the source of the Dead Star. A slender, clean jade hand reached out from thin air, its five fingers crystal clear and glowing with a faint rosy Rosy Clouds, easily grasping the crystal.
Instantly, the essence of the Dead Star trembled, releasing endless Divine Glow, dazzling and brilliant, which then flowed into her body like water.
At the same time.
The imprint from the origin of the Dead Star, or rather, the memories of the stars, were all reflected in her mind.
Xiao Minghuang started investigating from the back to the front and quickly learned what had just happened in this area.
It was a chaotic scene of violent lightning and thunder...
"... It turns out, a Void Storm just occurred here..."
Xiao Minghuang murmured, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
"Could it be... that they've already died in the Void Storm?"
"That shouldn't be the case!"
"No matter what, they were Celestial Kings; they shouldn't have perished so easily..."
"But why can't we find any trace of them?"
Xiao Minghuang frowned.
She couldn't believe that Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King would perish so easily.
Xiao Minghuang continued searching in the area, but still found nothing.
Perhaps due to the influence of the Void Storm, there were no Dead Star in this vast area, and Xiao Minghuang did not obtain any new clues.
Left with no other choice, she explored in a more outward direction.
I don't know how much time passed.
Along the way, Xiao Minghuang absorbed a lot of the Dead Star's essence, and her cultivation level rose accordingly, from the 3,500th Tribulation to the 4,000th Tribulation.
But she had no time to rejoice at her improved cultivation level until she suddenly stopped in her tracks as she passed by an ordinary, small Dead Star.
This was because she sensed an incredibly powerful aura that seemed to envelop the area, carrying a hint of world-destroying power and giving people a suffocating feeling.
That was a fluctuation beyond that of a Celestial King.
"A Celestial Venerable descended upon this place not long ago!"
Xiao Minghuang's heart pounded.
"This Outer Deep Space is completely empty; the Celestial Venerable couldn't have descended here without a reason... Something must have happened here before!"
Immediately, Xiao Minghuang established a connection with the origin of this Dead Star and quickly obtained the answer.
Her expression shifted.
Just as she expected.
"Chang Li and Li Feng, they really were here... The Celestial Venerable descended and took them away."
Xiao Minghuang's face showed worry. If it really was the Celestial Venerable who took them away, then she was afraid there was nothing she could do but go back and ask the Longevity Heavenly Venerable for help.
Just as she was hesitating about whether to return to the Heavenly Realm ahead of schedule.
Instantly.
A glimmer of golden light appeared, then expanded infinitely in an instant, transforming into a weathered and ancient golden archway.
The ancient, weathered golden archway exudes the aura of time, covered with dense and intricate runes and patterns, as if it holds endless mysteries.
The next moment.
The portal opened, and a vast aura swept out, accompanied by a rumbling tremor. A figure slowly emerged from the portal.
Who is it?
The person was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern their face.
Judging from the aura, it was clearly an unparalleled celestial being!
"Who are you?"
Xiao Minghuang's heart pounded violently.
The opponent's strength was astonishing; the mere dissipation of their aura caused the void to tremble incessantly, as if it were about to collapse.
The sudden appearance of such an invincible celestial being left her bewildered and at a loss.
"Lord of the Four Seas, Great Void Bright Immortal Venerable..."
Xiao Minghuang clenched her fist. Just as she had expected, it was a Celestial Venerable who had abducted Immortal King Chang Li and Lifeng Immortal King.
Moreover, judging from the style of his name, this Lord of the Four Seas, the Great Void Bright Immortal Venerable, is very likely one of the big shots of the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas.
"This junior, Xiao Minghuang, whose Daoist name is Ziwei, pays respects to the senior. Two of my companions once passed through this place. I wonder if the senior has seen them?"
