"Really!"
Chen Qingyu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't seem surprised by Dongfang Jinglong's sudden change of attitude. He calmly said:
"You schemed and plotted to enter the fifth level, all in order to restore the power of the King of Creation."
"Of course!"
Dongfang Jinglong's voice came through the head of the King of Creation, laughing heartily:
"I almost forgot to tell you, the source of the King of Creation's power is the Heart of Myriad Realms."
"I am determined to have this; I will not let anyone have it."
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, our goals conflict, and it's destined that we can't cooperate forever. Don't blame me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's heart stirred:
"I see..."
No wonder Dongfang Jinglong had previously advised him to inject the power of the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment into the King of Creation.
Because she already knew this would work.
He was initially very curious about what kind of power enabled such a terrifying puppet as the King of Creation to possess the strength to crush Emperor Venerable and be invincible.
Now it seems that the answer has always been the Heart of Myriad Realms.
"Rumble..."
The towering, majestic figure of the King of Creation looked down upon the minuscule Chen Qingyu, his six compound eyes already locked onto him from afar:
Dongfang Jinglong's voice was like muffled thunder shaking the heavens:
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu!"
"You are an unparalleled genius, I don't want to kill you; hand over the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms, kneel down and submit to me! I might spare your life!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu showed no sign of panic, but instead smiled slightly and said:
" Dongfang Jinglong, you're overthinking it."
"My trip to the fifth floor was driven not only by curiosity but also by a desire to verify an idea I had."
"Although I am determined to unlock the mysteries of the Third Divine Realm, my strength is ultimately limited, and I have no intention of exploring the fifth level now."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
What do you mean by that?
"Oh..."
Chen Qingyu smiled and said slowly:
"After learning of the existence of the Divine Throne, I've always had this question—how exactly did Great Emperor Kunyu ensure that the trial grounds he left behind wouldn't encounter any accidents?"
"For millions of years, what exactly has been manipulating everything within the Divine Throne from behind the scenes?"
" Great Emperor Kunyu possesses Enlightenment abilities similar to those of Heavenly Lord, so I initially suspected that he left behind a mechanical and rigid Primal Spirit on the fifth level to serve as the central control system."
"But later, the discoveries within the Heart of Myriad Realms made me think of something else..."
Hearing his words:
Dongfang Jinglong's unease grew rapidly, and she asked sharply:
Explain yourself clearly!
"Hahaha..."
Chen Qingyu laughed loudly, his eyes flashing:
"No need."
"If I'm not mistaken, 'it' should be making its move soon..."
As soon as he finished speaking:
"Boom!"
Above the distant, shadowy palaces and pavilions, a vast, jade-white divine light suddenly rose.
A jade-white divine light filled the heavens and earth, ignoring spatial barriers, and swept in with a whoosh.
"Bang!"
The colossal King of Creation, as imposing as the Earth Star, was utterly powerless against this divine light and disintegrated with a deafening roar.
Numerous streams of mercury-like light emerged, transforming into a small sphere that floated in the air.
Dongfang Jinglong's body fell to the ground in a sorry state, but while still in mid-air, it was frozen in place by the jade-white divine light and could not move.
"Ah!"
She screamed, but her voice trailed off like a chick being choked.
"Boom..."
The jade-white divine light swept in like a tidal wave, suppressing Chen Qingyu was standing to the side.
This power is so immense that it surpasses that of ordinary Emperor Venerable by countless times, and even the King of Creation and the Heart of Myriad Realms cannot compare to it.
Chen Qingyu offered no resistance, instead smiling warmly at Dongfang Jinglong:
"Farewell, Dongfang Jinglong!"
As soon as he finished speaking:
He abandoned his long-held resistance, no longer refusing the call of the Star Sea, allowing the supreme power that Heaven-reaching to envelop him.
"Boom!"
The dazzling starlight fell straight down from the infinitely high sky, revealing the phantom of a vast and boundless Star Sea, and an aura of antiquity, vastness, and Eternity spread out.
The power emanating from the entire Void Universe Star Sea instantly broke through the barrier of the jade-white divine light and enveloped Chen Qingyu.
In an instant:
Chen Qingyu's figure transformed into a streak of starlight, soaring into the sky within the giant pillar of starlight.
Protected by the power of the Star Sea, he easily broke through the barrier of the Divine Throne and the boundary of the Dao domain, his figure disappearing into thin air and "ascending" to the Star Sea.
"This, this?!"
Dongfang Jinglong, who was standing to the side, was unable to move, but after witnessing this scene, her eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
"He... he actually focuses on cultivating the Law of Stars?"
"Then how did he subdue and refine the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms?"
"Moreover, he's already at the Peak Quasi-Emperor realm, yet this is the first time he's responded to the summons of the Void Universe Star Sea..."
Her mind was completely blank.
It is common knowledge that those who cultivate the Dao of Stars will be summoned by the Void Universe Star Sea once they reach the Saint King Realm.
This is not only a great honor, but also implies other benefits, which no one would refuse.
After all, once you respond to the call of the Star Sea, you can build your own Star Receiving Platform and freely enter and exit the cultivation treasure land of the Dao of Stars, where your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.
But she never expected this:
It's incredible that someone could refuse to ascend to the Star Sea and hold onto this opportunity as a trump card to escape!
Even if Great Emperor Kunyu were to be resurrected, it probably wouldn't be able to stop him from ascending to the Star Sea...
"Damn it, this guy is too cunning!!"
Dongfang Jinglong cursed inwardly, her eyes darting around as she gazed at the omnipresent jade-white divine light, a hint of despair in her eyes:
What the hell is this thing?
The next moment:
The jade-white divine light, carrying Dongfang Jinglong and the King of Creation, suddenly contracted back into the palace and pavilions.
The fourth level of the Divine Throne.
The Great Emperor Hunyuan and many Emperor Venerable searched for a full half hour, but found nothing.
Despite trying various methods and using their magical arts in turn, they could not find the slightest clue.
"Damn it..."
The old man in the golden robe frowned, looked at the Void King, and said in a deep voice:
" Void King! You are deeply immersed in the Law of Space. Can you sense where they went?"
Upon hearing this statement:
All the Emperor Venerable ' gazes were focused on the handsome young man in white robes.
All investigative methods failed; they didn't even know where Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong had gone.
The only hope lies in whether the Void King can use his keen spatial perception to sense something amiss.
